Chapter 245 A bit...exciting

Outside Yaoguang City.

A pink sports car was speeding on the road.

Hongye wore cool sunglasses, holding the steering wheel with one hand and waving the other hand rhythmically to the music on the car stereo.

The breeze blowing in her face blew her long hair up, floating softly in the air, like a dark ribbon.

Gu Jia sat in the passenger seat, wearing the seat belt very obediently. That was the rule taught by her master. Even though her physical fitness was no longer afraid of ordinary car accidents, she still remembered it in her heart.

Hongye's sports car had only two seats, so Lu Changsheng naturally would not compete with his apprentice for a seat, and could only follow silently in the air.

In order to avoid being too conspicuous, he also turned on [Xintianyou].

Today, Lu Changsheng is like an invisible kite, hanging far behind the pink sports car.

"Sister Hongye, I remember you said that Zhao Haizhou was a sixth-level walker before he retired. Why did you let me try to fight him?"

Gu Jia asked with some doubts.

"It's not certain that a battle will happen. If Zhao Haizhou hadn't become a 'lost one', today's work would be much easier." Hongye answered easily while humming a song.

"When Zhao Haizhou served on the front line, he was indeed a sixth-level walker. But since he was seriously injured by the demon clan, more than half of his superpower circuits have been paralyzed, and he can no longer use superpowers smoothly."

"Now his strength is at most a fourth-level walker, and he only has physical fitness and can't use abilities such as energy shields at all."

"That's it, and it's still close to the situation a year ago. Now his strength will only weaken more."

"A sparring partner with extremely rich combat experience, this is something you can't meet in school."

Gu Jia nodded with some understanding. Her understanding of combat is still completely stuck in the basic combat taught in school. If she can really fight an awakener, this is the first time.

"Come on, I can do it." Gu Jia quietly clenched her fists and silently cheered herself up in her heart.

"Don't be too nervous, Jia'er. If there is any unexpected situation, there is still 'that adult'." Hongye raised her finger and pointed at the sky twice, and laughed like a silver bell.

...

As the sports car slowly drove into a slightly desolate industrial area, the surrounding scenery gradually became mottled and old, and the towering chimneys had long stopped smoking.

Hongye parked the car in front of an abandoned factory building. This was once the largest mechanical processing plant in the city, but now only broken walls and weeds are left.

She turned off the engine, took off her sunglasses, and opened the car door with a relaxed look. Gu Jia also got out of the car and looked around. She couldn't tell whether she was nervous or expectant in her heart, but her body subconsciously tensed up a little.

"This place reminds me of the first meeting with Boss Lu." Hongye looked at the dilapidated factory building, her tone full of nostalgia.

"Speaking of which, people in our Hunter Guild do like to meet in places like this."

"If there is a disagreement, it is very convenient to kill and bury the body."

Hongye said happily, without any tension at all.

"If Zhao Haizhou still retains his previous habits, does it mean that he is not crazy yet?" Gu Jia asked thoughtfully.

"Well, it is very likely."

Hongye's voice had just fallen, and a figure suddenly appeared behind the dilapidated factory building.

The man was wearing a shabby military coat that was washed white, and his figure was slightly hunched, as if he was bent by the burden of time. His hair was scattered on his shoulders in a mess, and a few strands of hair were still hanging with withered grass and fine dust.

The moment the vigilant eyes saw Hongye and Gu Jia, they suddenly flashed an indescribable light, which was mixed with tension, vigilance, and even a trace of imperceptible fear.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white due to the force, as if he was trying to restrain his inner panic. Every time the man approached Hongye, he would subconsciously look back several times.

It seemed that he was always preparing an escape route.

"Hello, Zhao Haizhou, I am the liaison sent by the guild. My name is Hongye, this is my sister. I am worried about her being alone at home, so I brought her with me. Don't be too nervous."

"I am here to ask you a few questions on behalf of the guild. You can find my information through the guild's APP. I can wait for you to confirm your identity."

Hongye's voice was very soft, and the smile on her face was also very appropriate.

"I... recognize you... you are... the boss's man..." Zhao Haizhou's eyes always subconsciously scanned back and forth, and it seemed that his mental state was very tense.

Hongye nodded and continued to speak.

"Yes, since you recognize me, let's skip the step of confirming my identity."

"My first question is: Have you recently experienced symptoms such as 'hearing nonsense, hallucinations, weakness, and memory confusion'?"

"No...no..." Zhao Haizhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his face seemed to be even paler.

"Second question: In the past six months, have any strangers or unidentified organizations appeared in your life?"

Hongye continued to ask softly.

Zhao Haizhou shook his head in panic, and then said a little slowly, "No..."

"Then, the last question, why didn't you accept any guild missions in the past six months, and didn't even do the basic punch-in? Did you get into any trouble?" Hongye asked again.

"I'm just not in a good state recently, so I don't accept guild missions."

"No one, no organization tried to contact me."

"Can I leave now? You know... things are a bit... not peaceful recently." Zhao Haizhou seemed a little anxious, and rubbed his hands unconsciously.

Hongye nodded gently, and said without any hesitation, "Of course, I've asked all the questions. If anything strange happens during this period, remember to contact the guild as soon as possible."

Zhao Haizhou was obviously relieved. He turned around and disappeared into the abandoned factory building.

"Sister Hongye, he has a problem." Gu Jia approached Hongye and said in a low voice.

"I know, my aura reading can't tell his level either."

"He's 'lost'."

"But it seems that his symptoms are not particularly serious, and he can still communicate simply."

"Maybe we can find some great information."

Hongye's voice was faintly full of expectation.

She turned her head and winked at Gu Jia mischievously, "Jia'er, has your school taught tracking classes?"

Gu Jia shook her head in confusion, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably excited.

I always feel...

A little exciting...
