Chapter 174 Split
(This is the real Chapter 174.)
"Will these three targets all gather in Opportunity City in one day?" Chen Ke said as he turned over the photos and looked at the back.
There was no information left on the back of the photo. It seems that the last meme modification made the big man behind Lester more cautious.
"Yes, of course not. I will notify you of the time separately, but one of them will come to Opportunity City in two days." Lester smiled and tapped his finger on the photo of the white old man.
"Two days later... This time is a bit vague. It's almost 12 o'clock now. Is it 48 hours later, or...?" Chen Ke picked up the photo of the white old man and observed his appearance carefully.
"You are very rigorous, very good. To be precise, it will be 11 o'clock the day after tomorrow. He will appear in a mansion in the Saint Oak Villa District." Lester said.
Hmm... In a mansion again.
Chen Ke pinched his chin and thought, is it the same as the previous target, who noticed that someone was assassinating him, so he hid?
If they all hid in Opportunity City, it means that they subconsciously think that Opportunity City is safe.
In other words, the power behind Lester may not control the area that includes Opportunity City.
"Like the last target, it looks like he will hire a large number of gunmen to protect himself." Chen Ke commented.
"The fact is just the opposite. He doesn't have any bodyguards, and he didn't come to Opportunity City to escape hunting this time. He has his own purpose." Lester raised his index finger and shook it.
"Whatever his purpose is, he is already a dead man." Chen Ke said.
Having said that, he couldn't help but be curious and decided to see if he could ask something before killing the target this time.
"The itinerary of the last two targets is full of uncertainty, and the informant will follow up their information at any time, so... focus on this old man for the time being." Lester smiled.
He limped to the coffee machine and poured the boiled coffee into a red mug.
"Then I'll wait for your contact at any time." Chen Ke stood up.
"Okay... okay... Speaking of which, Chen Ke, there are still two days of free time, how will you spend it? You are now a rich man, do you want me to introduce you to some high-end entertainment venues?" Lester asked with a smile.
Hum... Foot-washing city? Chen Ke glanced at the life countdown on the upper right of his vision. He still had 10 hours to live.
It was time to go hunting in the wild to refuel his life.
"That's not necessary, Lester. But... do you know if there are any strange places in the city of opportunity or in the suburbs?" Chen Ke asked.
As a middleman, Lester must have a lot of information. Maybe he knows some wastelands with many monsters.
"Strange places? You mean... the wilderness with signs of psychic explosions?" Lester heard what Chen Ke meant.
"Yes, the more dangerous the better, the more monsters the better." Chen Ke rubbed his hands.
"This is not a secret, Chen Ke, but why are you asking about these places?" Lester was a little curious.
"I... bought a new gun and wanted to find some targets to calibrate the gun." Chen Ke made up a reason.
"Ah... a very unique hobby... general brand guns will help you calibrate after leaving the factory, and at the very least you can go to the shooting range. Yours... is almost like hunting." Lester said.
"Yes, I like to see blood." Chen Ke smiled.
"There is an abandoned car factory on the outskirts of the city. It is a property bought by Lescott Spiritual Property and has been there for many years. However, ordinary taxis dare not drive there, and Lescott Spiritual Property has also sent people to guard nearby. If you want to go in for hunting, you have to spend some money to bribe the guard." Lester pushed his glasses.
"Thank you, how can I get there?" Chen Ke asked.
"It is best to take the No. 7 subway line across Lafite Road to the terminal, and then walk there, or you can drive there yourself." Lester replied.
"Oh... sounds good... I have a place to go in the next two days." Chen Ke said secretly.
Lester naturally did not hear Chen Ke's thoughts. Looking at his appearance, he only thought that Chen Ke was a murderous and stuffy man. He didn't say anything and tore the creamer into the coffee.
At this time, the sky was thunderous, as if something in the sky had peeled off a part.
Lester was so scared that his hand trembled and the creamer was shaken all over the table.
Chen Ke had just opened the door of the clothing store and was also attracted by the thunder. He looked up at the sky.
The sky was cloudless, and the sun shone on the ground without any obstruction. The temperature was tormenting.
He felt that the thunder was very familiar. He recalled carefully that he had heard this kind of thunder when he was taking a shower in a motel not long after running out of Xijin Building.
There was no sign of rain, no wind, no dark clouds, just a few sudden thunders.
The weather phenomenon of thunder in the clear sky is not uncommon, so most people are not surprised. However, Chen Ke felt that this thunder sounded different from ordinary thunder.
How to say it, if ordinary thunder is a thunderbolt, a sound similar to an explosion, then this thunder is more like the sound of some kind of ceramic object breaking from the inside, and amplified a million times.
Chen Ke shook his head. Maybe he thought too much. Since the people around him were not surprised, it can be seen that this kind of thunder is a common natural phenomenon in this world.
In a world filled with psychic energy and monsters, isn't it normal for thunder to be a little strange?
He stopped worrying about the thunder and walked all the way to the subway station.
On the other side.
Wang Ailin had just recovered and felt that her mind was filled with many inexplicable memories.
She couldn't tell the specific content of these memories. It felt like she had a rich dream last night, but she forgot everything when she woke up in the morning. Only the name "Chen Ke" made her remember it deeply.
"What's wrong with you? You look a little..." Diana looked at Wang Ailin worriedly.
"Nothing, I'm fine..." Wang Ailin couldn't figure out her own situation. Except for a bunch of unclear information that suddenly popped up in her mind, there was no other bad reaction.
Her eyes fell on the recorder in her hand, and a message suddenly flashed in her mind that the pen was flooded.
She turned on the switch of the recorder in confusion, and the green indicator light flashed and everything was normal. But for some reason, she subconsciously believed that the pen was flooded.
This strange experience was unprecedented for Wang Ailin, as if her common sense was against the world.
She looked at Diana again, who was looking at her curiously while eating chocolate ice cream.
"Diana, are you going to the supermarket later?" Wang Ailin suddenly asked.
"Huh? How do you know? I want to buy some caviar and bread to take back." Diana wondered.
"Oh... I... I have to go back first... Diana, I..." Wang Ailin seemed to realize something. She didn't know if her guess was right, but it was better to go back to her laboratory now.
"You look a little weird, Ailin, do you need me to accompany you?" Diana asked worriedly.
"No... I'm fine, I'm fine, I can't go to the supermarket with you, Diana, I'm sorry." Wang Ailin smiled awkwardly and threw the recorder into her bag.
"The switch is not turned off." Diana pointed.
"Oh... Thank you, I have to go." Wang Ailin suddenly stood up and pressed two 200-yuan bills under the cup.
"Okay, thank you for the chocolate ice cream." Diana shrugged, and there was another pain in her left shoulder. She always forgot that she was dislocated.
"Goodbye, Diana, goodbye." Wang Ailin said awkwardly, grabbing her bag and leaving the street restaurant.
Looking at Wang Ailin's back, Diana raised her eyebrows. She looked very abrupt just now. Did she suddenly remember something?
However, no matter what, I may not be able to go to the supermarket today. After all, my arm is not convenient, and it is too disadvantageous to buy things. I will find a colleague who is on vacation to go with me tomorrow.
Just thinking about this, Diana suddenly found a familiar figure coming from across the street. Isn't that Chen Ke, who I met in the sword hall?
