Chapter 543 Medusa’s Kiss

…

The ancient Zhou family's old house, which occupies a very large area, is built along the lake and occupies a quiet bay.

It is said that one of Zhou's ancestors was a scholar, and the family has been scholarly for generations. The entire ancient house is also full of the style and ingenuity of the famous families in the Jiangnan water town.

The environment inside the house is elegant, with garden pavilions everywhere and three views in one step, which is exquisite and stylish.

This old house had originally been assessed as a tangible cultural heritage, but Zhou Zhiyi brought back enough evidence and was willing to spend money, so he took the ancestral house back. After careful repairs and management, it has restored its former glory. .

A young man in thin sportswear fell from the sky as fast as lightning, wearing a pair of sneakers and landing at the front door of the old house with his hands behind his back. He has a dignified appearance, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Even though he is dressed very simply, his sunny and heroic temperament cannot be concealed.

This young man is naturally Wang Yan, the Son of Fire, who is widely rumored by the outside world today. Today, he is no longer a nobody, but a globally renowned young master.

When visiting someone's home, of course Wang Yan would not fly directly into someone's home. Instead, he followed the etiquette and knocked on the copper ring on the big red wooden door.

"Squeak~"

A steward in a long robe opened the door and said respectfully: "May I ask if the person coming here is His Excellency Wang Yan?"

"Uncle, I am Wang Yan." Wang Yan greeted politely, "I made an agreement with Teacher Zhou to come and visit."

While talking, Zhou Zhiyi, dressed in an ancient brocade robe, strode out of the inner hall like a meteor, and said with a hearty smile: "Xiao Yan, I just wanted to wait for you at the door. But I didn't expect that you came faster than Secretary Tian." Then, he waved the butler to leave.

"Brother Zhou." Wang Yan greeted with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Xiao Yan, please come in quickly. You and I are just waiting here for Secretary Shimoda. He is almost here." Zhou Zhiyi politely invited Wang Yan to come in and immediately started chatting with him, "Huh? Xiao Yan, you have only been out for a while. , your face is glowing red, and you are much more energetic? Could it be that you have encountered some happy event?"

Wang Yan touched his cheek, Zhou Zhiyi could even see this? It's just that the scene with Shen Mengting was so beautiful and beautiful that it was naturally impossible to tell Zhou Zhiyi about it. He smiled and replied: "It's not a happy event, I just feel that my thoughts are clear and my cultivation has improved a little."

The two of them chatted for a while, and after a while, an Audi with a government license plate stopped at an intersection not far away. Secretary Tian pushed open the door and walked over calmly. He was wearing a gray suit and had an upright demeanor.

"Secretary Tian." Zhou Zhiyi and Wang Yan both came forward and greeted him politely.

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Zhiyi invited Wang Yan and Secretary Tian to enter the inner house together and took a stroll to a welcoming pavilion. This Yingbin Pavilion is all made of fine solid wood, and the furniture screens are made of old red rosewood.

There are several copper animal-shaped heaters, and the charcoal fire is burning brightly, making the hall as warm as spring. The smell of sandalwood is refreshing.

Through the attic windows, you can have a panoramic view of a garden. Ancient strange-shaped Taihu stones have created strange-shaped rockeries, and the mountain stream cleverly leads to the sound of spring water.

In the garden, there are autumn chrysanthemums and winter plums, which are so beautiful that they compete with each other.

"Teacher Zhou deserves to be in the School of Architecture and comes from a scholarly family. With this careful work, the entire semi-abandoned ancient house came to life, making me feel like I have traveled to ancient times." Secretary Tian said with emotion, "We in China are like these The economy and strength have taken off rapidly in recent years, but there is a lot more impetuosity and a lot less tradition and cultural accumulation.”

"Secretary Tian is so impressed. Let's try this Biluochun. Although it is an old tea, it is well maintained." Zhou Zhi smiled and started boiling water in an iron pot to make tea.

The three of them drank tea and chatted in this comfortable and quiet attic with pleasant scenery. From traditional culture to modern economy and even the world structure.

Among the three, Wang Yan is the youngest. Although his personal strength is strong, he is still not as good as them in terms of knowledge and consciousness. While drinking tea, I listened with great interest, and I learned a lot.

…

at the same time.

In a five-star hotel in Danghu.

Liu Lang sat on the sofa with a dejected face, drinking wine sullenly. I think he worked hard and finally stole Shen Mengting out and sacrificed her natal spirit corpse.

I have always regarded her as a treasure, and I am reluctant to touch her.

This was a good time. This juicy cabbage was accidentally eaten by Lao Wang's pig.

Shen Mengting opened her mouth lightly and was about to say something. But his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he looked coldly out of the floor-to-ceiling window, and said coldly: "Whoever you are, do you need me to ask you to come out?"

"hehe!"

A figure in black robe slowly appeared outside the window. His black robe was fluttering in the wind, and he wore a pale and strange mask on his face.

Without seeing any movement from him, he flashed into the suite and said with an extraordinary air: "This spiritual corpse of yours came out of my lord's expectation. It is even more powerful than my lord's expectation."

"Who are you?" Liu Lang's expression changed and he scolded, "Do you know who I am? I... ugh!"

Before Liu Lang finished speaking, the black-robed man swung out a cloud of black mist. The black mist turned into a solid claw, grabbed his neck from afar, and lifted him up in the air.

Although Liu Lang is the young master of the Xuan Corpse Sect and has abundant training resources, he has only just entered C level. Compared with this mysterious man in black robe, the difference is countless times.

Shen Mengting frowned slightly. Seeing that the man was extraordinary, she said coldly: "Who is your Excellency? Let him go, otherwise I won't be polite."

"Ha." The man in black robe casually waved his hand, and Liu Lang hit the wall and fell to the ground. He put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "It's okay to tell you who I am. Lord of the Mask, affiliated with the Dark United Sect of North America."

Shen Mengting has memory loss and does not know what the Dark United Sect of North America is.

But Liu Lang is a member of the State African Affairs Bureau and is qualified to access a lot of information. Immediately, his face changed drastically and he said: "What? The Dark United Sect of North America? You, what are you doing in our Chinese continent?"

As for the Masked Lord, he had never heard of it.

Although this sect has not yet reached the level of the world's top organization, it should not be underestimated. It originated during the American Civil War. At first, it was developed by some dark superpowers who were unsuccessful, excluded, or wanted in Europe. New territory.

Among them are werewolves, vampires, dark magicians, and even various strange species.

When the Civil War broke out, those dark superpowers united to fight against the strong men in the British army. After the final victory in the war, the organization stayed and has continued to develop to this day.

This organization is ostensibly the North American branch of the Global Dark Council. However, it is actually a powerful organization that operates independently. Its growth is accompanied by the establishment and growth of the entire United States.

In terms of its long history, it is much older than the Midi Super Shield Bureau, which was established during World War I. This shows how deep-rooted and comprehensive its strength is.

"Haha, naturally I have my own things to do, so it's inconvenient to talk about it." The masked lord walked towards Shen Mengting step by step with his hands behind his back, "Shen Mengting, I have heard about you, and you have also I have studied and lived in North America. Now, on behalf of the Dark United Sect of North America, this lord would like to extend a formal invitation to you."

"Invitation? Do you want me to join the North American Dark United Sect?" Shen Mengting said in a cold voice.

"That's right, you are now in the body of a zombie. In theory, you are a dark creature. And your past has made it impossible for the China National Security Bureau to tolerate you." The masked lord persuaded, "As long as you are willing to join, you will immediately become a member of the Chinese National Security Agency." A high-level status. I believe that with your qualifications, you will be able to reach half-step S-level strength sooner or later, and there is even a good chance of reaching S-level. Perhaps, in the future, you will become the leader of the Dark United Sect in North America."

The Masked Lord threw out baits one after another.

"Wait a minute, she is my natal spirit corpse." Liu Lang became anxious and rushed forward.

The Masked Lord waved his hand casually, and a black mist blew Liu Lang away. He was not even interested in looking at him. He continued: "I know that this trash has a soul connection with you through soul sacrifice. Don't worry, the soul connection between them is very weak. This lord can easily cut off your connection. In addition, we will help you get revenge. , destroy the person who killed you."

"Kill Wang Yan?" Shen Mengting raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's right, there are only a few organizations in the world who dare to take action against Wang Yan." The Masked Lord said proudly, "But, we dare."

…

"Brother Zhou, didn't you say that you have something important to say?" Secretary Tian drank tea and said in a gentle voice, "I am also very curious. Does Brother Zhou have a big plan?"

A message reminder sounded.

Zhou Zhiyi checked the information on his phone and then chuckled: "Yes, that is a big plan and a great plan. Xiao Yan, Secretary Tian, ​​follow me."

With that said, he led Wang Yan and Secretary Tian, ​​got up and walked towards the depths of the old house.

After walking for more than five minutes, we arrived at the backyard surrounded by mountains and water.

Zhou Zhiyi fumbled and activated a switch.

Buzz!

Several rockeries actually moved due to the stirring of the mechanism, revealing a dark hole.

Bang bang!

Zhou Zhi pressed the switch, and the lights suddenly turned on inside the cave entrance, illuminating the entire cave entrance. You could clearly see the ancient stone steps extending downward.

"This is a refuge cave in our family's old house. Most ancient families will have escape passages." Zhou Zhiyi explained, "I repaired it and it can serve as a base for my plan. Xiao Yan , Secretary Tian, ​​please!”

Secretary Tian and Wang Yan both had their hands behind their backs and did not move at all.

"You two, do you think you don't trust me, Zhou?" Zhou Zhiyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, half-smiling.

"Haha, this is the first time I have seen such an ancient mechanism cave." Secretary Tian said with some seriousness and vigilance between his brows, "But, Brother Zhou, what are your plans? You actually need a hidden base? Don't tell me. It’s clear, I won’t go down.”

At the same time, Wang Yan's cell phone rang.

Wang Yan gestured to the two of them.

Zhou Zhiyi smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Yan answered the phone, and Liu Baomin's voice came from the other side: "Xiao Yan, something big has happened. I listened to your suggestion and used my connections to search the database of the public security system again to check the disappearance cases across the country in the past year. Common characteristics. Unexpectedly, this investigation turned out to be a big problem. In recent years, among the missing persons across the country, there have been more than 30 young women related to Danghu. Their ages range from 18 to 23 Years old, she is much more beautiful than Zhou Zheng. The most important thing is that they all visited Danhu Lake not long before they disappeared."

Wang Yan's heart trembled. Sure enough, the other party seemed to want a young and beautiful woman, and the condition was most likely a young and beautiful *****.

"Bastard, what are you going to do?" Liu Baomin suddenly roared angrily on the other end of the phone, "Please come out..." Before he could finish the last word, the phone hung up with a beep.

Wang Yan cut off the phone call expressionlessly and looked at Zhou Zhiyi coldly.

"Haha, Xiao Yan. You entrusted Liu Baomin to investigate the disappearance case. How did it turn out?" Zhou Zhi smiled elegantly, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Alas~" Wang Yan sighed heavily, "Teacher Zhou, you are such a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief?"

"Xiao Yan, what happened?" Secretary Tian looked confused and took a few steps back.

"Haha." Zhou Zhiyi put his hands behind his back and laughed easily, "Xiao Yan, you are still young and don't understand many things. This world is a history written by winners and losers. Originally, you and I met. It's all about friendship between gentlemen, and I didn't mean to murder you. Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people, and things in the world are unpredictable. You and I were eventually involved and became enemies."

"Zhou Zhiyi, what are you doing?" Secretary Tian shouted in a majestic manner, "I don't care what conspiracy you are up to. Stop immediately. If you are willing to surrender and confess, I can intercede for you."

Wang Yan turned his body sideways and stood in front of Secretary Tian, ​​indicating that he didn't need to say any more. Since Zhou Zhiyi now chooses to reveal his true colors, it means that he is absolutely unwilling and cannot give up easily.

"Xiao Yan, I advise you not to act rashly." Zhou Zhiyi said with a calm expression, "I know that your strength is extraordinary and you are known as one of the top figures among young masters in the world. Even many masters of the older generation are far behind. You are far from your match. However, with your intelligence and knowledge, you certainly know that if I am not absolutely sure, I will not keep you here. Don’t you still feel that something is wrong? "

"You!" Wang Yan suddenly changed his expression and said with a pale face, "Did you tamper with the tea?"

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with the tea, but there's something wrong with the sandalwood in the house." Zhou Zhiyi chuckled, "That's what our North American Dark United Sect has accumulated over thousands of years of knowledge from the dark forces, and then refined it with modern technology and carefully prepared it. The 'Medusa's Kiss' was originally designed to deal with members of the Holy See of Light. Even the Holy Flame, which is said to be able to defeat all evil and filthy people in the world, cannot deal with this 'Medusa's Kiss'."
