Chapter 248 The Breath of Lies

Swart Rental Shop
The first thing Zhu Jue saw after leaving the three-story long-distance bus with the weapon case on his back was this transportation rental shop located outside the valley.

"He Ye, when I was on the bus, I thought carefully about whether you chose this place for me because you wanted me to die and inherit my inheritance, but we are not husband and wife. Although I have no family, there are always no employees. The rules of inheriting the boss' inheritance."

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air around him, Zhu Jue, who looked a little sluggish, looked around the vast plain except for the store in front of him and the sparse houses in it while talking.

The so-called sparsely populated land is the best explanation for the Swart area.

Zhu Jue, who was about to cross half the world, came to this remote hilly area, and the nearest city was dozens of kilometers away.

5 hours by plane, 3 hours by high-speed train, and 3 hours by long-distance bus. For Zhu Jue, this long journey makes people like him want to find a place to sleep well.

The only consolation is that the environment here is very good. The nature has not been eroded by the city, and the sun falls on the body, which makes people feel a wild and hot feeling.

"But the address on the photo is written here, Swart Rental Store, there is nothing wrong."

Li Qinglian was also taken aback when she found the address of the photo before. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the development of the Internet has truly turned the earth into a village, and the audience of Weird Studio has spread all over the Federation.

"Tsk, now we have to start filming."

Take the blue bird out of the backpack, and prepare to shoot a high-altitude video to record the surrounding environment.

After simply setting the cruise function, Zhu Jue looked back at the shop in front of him as he watched the blue bird take off successfully.

The decoration of the store is quite a bit like the western movies that Zhu Jue has seen before. It is not so much a rental shop as it is a tavern.

In fact, Zhu Jue guessed right. When he pushed open the two semi-covered steel fence doors that only reached his waist, what he saw was a long bar counter and a somewhat simple tall iron shelf full of drinks.

Melodious music echoed in the tavern.

There are more than a dozen round wooden tables and chairs made of wooden barrels. In the center of the tavern, there is a small space with a diameter of about 3 meters. A long strip hangs from the top, and a holographic projection is played under the constantly rotating mechanical stick. , the content is the hot and sexy dance of several blonde beauties who are dressed or not.

"Not suitable for children. Wu Tong, don't look, your eyeballs are going to fall out!"

Zhu Jue reminded suddenly that Olivia and Li Qinglian in the studio turned their heads subconsciously, and they saw Wu Tong who was "staring" at the holographic projection with an absurd expression on his face.

"There seems to be no one in the store."

Zhu Jue scanned around, and also looked behind the bar. There were only a few mechanical appliances, and even the store manager was gone, but the door outside was open.

His eyes fell on the bell placed on the side of the bar, and he grabbed the string and shook it. The copper ball inside hit the iron walls on both sides of the bell, making a crisp sound.

"coming!"

From the right came the greeting.

creak~
At the place where Zhu Jue thought it was the wall, a mechanical door suddenly pushed back, and then moved to the side. A middle-aged man with a stocky figure, wearing a blue suspender overalls, with messy brown hair and a beard. Come out from inside.

The ensuing smell of poultry and livestock and the intermittent neighing of horses proved that the back of the tavern seemed to be a horse farm. Zhu Jue thought about the sign of the rental shop outside, and soon began to think about the traffic that the other party said Is it possible that the tool is the horse.

"What would you like to drink? Is the guest from out of town?"

The owner of the tavern looked at Zhu Jue with strange eyes, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking,

"Well, I have an appointment here with someone, just have a glass of wine with ice, it's a bit hot outside."

"The guests are here to hunt? There are plenty of prey in the valley this season..."

The amber liquor was poured into the glass, and the store manager took two square ice cubes from the ice machine beside the counter and put them in.

Zhu Jue took a sip of the wine noncommittally, the hot feeling mixed with the cold wine filled his throat, and regardless of the taste, this feeling of "Ice and Fire Nine Heavens" was surprisingly good. Zhu Jue, who pushed the wine glass back, was also a little surprised, and quickly poured another glass.

The fan in the hotel swung its head and rotated, and the humming sound made by the fan blades rotating at high speed was particularly noticeable in this quiet environment. Zhu Jue was drinking strong wine, his eyes rested on the store manager, his nose slowly twitched, like It's sniffing something.

Drinking up the drink again, this time Zhu Jue did not push the glass back, but poured the ice cubes in the glass directly into his mouth, then pressed forward, stared at the store manager, and grabbed the ice cube in his hand. The wine bottle was poured into his mouth, and the latter looked at Zhu Jue's sudden move, and the expression on his face gradually changed from the startled to weird.

"You are a murderer!"

After drinking half a bottle of wine, Zhu Jue smashed the bottle on the counter, his face flushed slightly, he was chewing on crushed ice cubes, and he could vaguely see the unswallowed amber liquid.

"What are you talking about? I'm just the manager of a tavern. How could I be a murderer?"

The store manager's expression froze, he twitched the corner of his mouth and continued.

"Hmph, I smell a lie!"

Turning sideways, making a fist with his free left hand, pointing his index finger straight at the head of the store manager, Zhu Jue swallowed all the broken ice and wine, and said in a deep voice,

"You bastard is lying to me!"

"kill him!"

The honest store manager suddenly yelled, and immediately there was a dull explosion on the roof of the tavern, and five heavily armed soldiers suddenly landed.

Just as their legs landed on the ground, one of them was kicked sideways on the head, and the whole person flew out in the air, lying crookedly among the broken tables and chairs, with blood flowing from the mechanical mask, obviously I can't survive.

The few remaining people glanced at the man who had appeared next to them at some point, clenched the weapons in their hands and were about to turn their guns around.

One punch shattered the steel mask of the man on the left, kicked the gun in the hand of the man on the right, and then turned around and threw out the wine bottle in his hand, accurately hitting the tavern owner who was pulling out the gun, and then turned around and jumped up with one hand. Looking at the table, the other two also ate his feet.

"Hi~ You all look down on me too much. If you want to kill me, how many people are you going to send?"

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Zhu Jue frowned, and said with a belch.

Of course, Zhu Jue didn't have the ability to smell lies. In fact, Li Qinglian found a naked body behind the tavern through the bird's-eye view camera, and a few fully armed mechanical soldiers were huddled behind a chassis on the roof. contacted him.

Zhu Jue thought he was looking for trouble, but now it seems that these people's abilities are not very good.

"There's no one left, just the five ambush on the roof and the shop owner you just saw. I don't think they're ambush for you."

Li Qinglian looked at the content displayed on the screen, and her eyes were quickly attracted by a black figure in the lower left corner that was approaching the tavern.

Someone else is coming.
