Chapter 502 Hunter Arrives
"I just wanted to give it a try."
Su Zhiwei smiled helplessly, "They are like a never-ending symphony orchestra, buzzing in my ears all the time... I just want to see if I have the power to conduct them..."
"Then what?"
"The power seems to be there...but I haven't mastered the method yet."
Chen Ling looked at Su Zhiwei as if looking at a monster.
How long has it been since she came out of Shennongjia...she has actually begun to master the power of her own "theory"? And judging from the energy just condensed, the intensity can already be regarded as the second level. Although it failed in the end, it was not far away from success...it was just a few more attempts.
For Jiujun, the existence of ranks seems meaningless. As long as he gradually deepens his control over his "theory", his power can increase rapidly... You know, it only took one night for Su Zhiwei to go from an ordinary person to this step. time.
"You're a little exhausted and need a good rest." Chen Ling saw her pale face and reminded her.
Su Zhiwei leaned on the handrail of the stone bridge, the breeze gently ruffled the hair on her temples, and hummed.
"By the way, how much do you know about this Teacher Xiao?"
"Teacher Xiao?" Hearing Chen Ling suddenly ask this, Su Zhiwei was a little confused, "When we were in Su Mansion, we were neighbors for a long time. She helped me hold parent-teacher conferences when I was a child. , I understand very well...what's wrong?"
"When we got along before, did you notice...that there was something strange about her?"
"strangeness?"
"For example, can you occasionally do something beyond your cognition, or do you behave differently from other people?"
Su Zhiwei heard what Chen Ling meant, and surprise flashed in her eyes, "Are you doubting that... Teacher Xiao, like you, is a person who has embarked on the Shinto?"
"I'm just guessing."
Chen Ling knew that there were also Shinto owners in this era, but the number was extremely rare... And if he thought about it carefully, Xiao Chunping was the intangible inheritor of Su embroidery. After studying embroidery for decades, it was not impossible to embark on the Shinto.
Moreover, moving the museum from a downtown area to a remote suburb is a bit strange in itself... Coupled with the vague sense of prying eyes before, Chen Ling is now 60% sure.
"Didn't you say that there are fourteen Shinto ways in the world? Which Shinto way do you think she belongs to?"
"Qing Shen Dao." Chen Ling said firmly, "Embroidery, painting, tattoos...anything that uses graphics to carry power is basically Qing Shen Dao, but I don't know which path it is."
Chen Ling is a person who has been to the world of mortals, and has received a lot of information from the 9 of Hearts. If Xiao Chunping has a divine way, it can only be Qing Shendao.
Su Zhiwei thought for a long time, but still shook her head, "...No, I don't think there is anything strange about her. If I have to say it, is it that she has strict requirements for embroidery? In my impression, Yao Qing ruined the embroidery because of playing football. , or because my embroidery was not good enough, I was beaten several times.”
Chen Ling frowned, thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Su Zhiwei hesitated again and again, but said: "However, I think you don't have to worry... Even if Teacher Xiao has the divine way, he will not have any ill intentions towards us."
"So I didn't do anything...otherwise, I would have taken you to another place a long time ago." Chen Ling looked at the lights-out museum, quiet and mysterious, "If she can really trust her, then this is the safest place." place."
"If you can be trusted, everyone in the Xiao family can be trusted."
Chen Ling raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "Including Yao Qing?"
"Yao Qing just has a stubborn temper. At his age, when he is full of energy and has the courage to question everything... he is not inherently bad and can definitely be trusted."
Su Zhiwei's expression was extremely serious.
Seeing this, Chen Ling smiled slightly, "If he hears this, he will probably be so happy that he can't sleep all night."
"……What?"
"You are so smart, you can't see that he likes you, right?"
Su Zhiwei was stunned for a long time, as if she didn't expect Chen Ling to talk about this topic. She subconsciously tangled her long hair at the temples, shook her head and said:
"He... no, we are siblings... we can only be siblings."
"Why? The way he looks at you is not like a younger brother looking at his older sister."
"I'm eight years older than him... He's still a sophomore, and I'm already... How can we be together?" Su Zhiwei shook her head repeatedly. She, who had always been full of rationality and knowledge, was a little confused at the moment. He was stunned, pursed his lips and said,
"It's better not to mention this matter again..."
Chen Ling took a deep look at her and didn't say anything more. She just stood there quietly, staring at the moonlight above her head.
The two were silent for a long time, and Su Zhiwei finally spoke:
"I'm a little tired... go back and rest first, and you should go to bed early."
"good."
With Su Zhiwei leaving, Chen Ling was left alone in the quiet museum.
He stood on the gurgling stream, like a ghost in the darkness, staring at the room where Xiao Chunping and Yao Qing were, wondering what he was thinking...
…
Suzhou.
In the narrow and dark underground tavern, the pungent smell of smoke lingered and swirled.
Behind the old bar, the bright light emitted by neon tubes illuminates the tavern like a dream. Figures sit on the sofa or on chairs in front of the bar, while ice cubes and wine collide in the walls of the glasses.
"I heard... the one offering the reward this time is a 'Hunter'?"
"'Hunter'? Which 'Hunter'?"
"Don't you know? It's the 'Hunter' who was rumored to have slaughtered a team of 100 mercenaries with one gun in the Golden Triangle and massacred the largest local human trafficking organization... It is said that the other party even sent out armed tanks and rocket launchers, but was still killed in the end."
"Is it him?! Is it the 'Hunter' in the Golden Triangle? Is it true?"
"The strength of the 'Hunter' can be ranked in the top ten among the killers in the world, right? No... It's possible to be in the top five."
"The one who personally offered the bounty?"
"Who exactly does he want to kill? He doesn't do it himself, but he offers us a bounty?"
"It seems that he is being held back by the police in Jingnan City. He is afraid that the target will escape, so he asked us to come and help... Calculating the time, he should be here soon?"
"..."
In the hidden underground tavern, more than a dozen figures are talking. A thin bartender stands quietly behind the bar, gently wiping the wine glass in his hand, and occasionally glancing at the pendulum in the corner.
Clang--
A dull sound came from the side, it was the sound of a heavy metal door opening in the rust, and the pub fell into silence instantly.
Everyone looked there, and the bartender slowly narrowed his eyes and stopped what he was doing.
The soles of his shoes stepped on the old wooden boards, making a harsh creaking sound. In the dim neon light, a figure carrying a shotgun, covered in blood and blood clots, walked slowly out of the darkness.
[Tianlang], Nie Yu.
He stood in front of everyone, his sharp eyes locked on the bartender behind the bar, and spoke in a low voice:
"Su Zhiwei, where is it?"
