Chapter 125 The Temptation of Money

"Are you taking me for a detective?"

Chi Heng sighed: "Sorry, I'm not Sherlock Holmes, not to mention that even Holmes is probably powerless to solve such supernatural cases."

"Mr. Chi, we can open the skylight to talk."

Hans said sincerely: "What you need most at this age should be money. We can pay you handsomely. As long as you help solve this incident, the owner of Aldas Manor is willing to pay 100 million US dollars for this." .”

If Chi Heng was drinking coffee at this moment, he would definitely spit it out, $100 million?Who does this look down upon?Does he have a treasury and a more valuable "invisible treasury".

But to be honest, $100 million is a lot. This is a very amazing wealth, wealth that can cause gangs to fight.

With $100 million, he could settle anywhere in the middle class in America.

"In addition, Mr. Chi, if you retrieve the bottle and get rid of the curse on the bottle, the master said that he can give you 5000 million US dollars as a reward."

Immediately afterwards, Hans announced a sky-high reward.

It turns out that recovering the bottle is only worth 100 million US dollars, but if you help get rid of the curse, is it 50 times the value?

Even though Chi Heng had a treasury, he also became serious, 100 million US dollars is not a small number, 5000 million US dollars is an astronomical figure unimaginable for ordinary people.

If in the beginning, the old uncle left him an inheritance of 10 million U.S. dollars instead of 5000 U.S. dollars, he might really lose his curiosity and try to return to his hometown in mainland China with 5000 million U.S. dollars.

"$5000 million..."

Chi Heng did not deny that he was tempted. Although he had a treasury and various future advanced technical materials whose value was difficult to estimate, it was difficult to exchange them for legal funds.

He held gold bricks, and there was no suitable way to exchange money, but the owner of Aldas was different. This was a rich family, and the remuneration transferred to him did not need to worry about any legal issues, and could be used with confidence.

"What if I refuse?"

Chi Heng tentatively said.

"The master of Aldas will not target you in particular, he will only think that you are not suitable to live here and inherit your uncle's inheritance. This will cause unnecessary danger to you. You are suitable to be an ordinary person... The host will give you $1000 to send you out of Doc as a gift."

This is called not targeting yourself in particular?
Reciprocating the gift of $1000 abroad?

Are you sure it's $1000 and not $1000 million?
Chi Heng really wanted to take out the "Red Dragon" and shoot this smiling Hans butler, but his reason calmed him down. In the United States, a country that pays attention to money and power, in an ancient rich family, the other party has too much. The resources made him unable to get benefits.

"I still have things to deal with, so it's impossible to follow you right away."

Chi Heng considered for a moment and gave the answer: "I need to deal with my own affairs..."

"Yes, but how long will it take you to finish it?"

Hans nodded reasonably: "My master really can't wait too long."

"Two days at the latest."

"Okay, thank you very much, you can call this number when you come."

Hans handed out a business card, and Chi Heng took it casually.

"..."

Seeing Hans salute, turn around and try to leave, Chi Heng did not forget to say kindly: "On your way back, don't get out of the car."

Hans didn't understand, so he glanced back and nodded: "Thank you for your kind reminder."

After the black Lincoln drove away, Chi Heng put on the XR extended reality device again.

A voice of "broken copper and iron" came from my ear through bone conduction: "Sir, do you need to deal with this threat?"

Chi Heng was taken aback, knowing that the "broken copper and iron" had heard the complete conversation through the XR extended reality device just now, he subconsciously waved his hand: "Junk, don't casually say terrible words to deal with the other party, I am a law-abiding citizen. "

The essence is that even if Mrs. Aldas is threatening him constantly, the biggest threat is not to kill him, but to drive him out of Dock Town.If Mrs. Aldas' threat is to kill him, then Chi Heng will act first without waiting for the next day.

"Don't think about it for the time being, go and save the person first."

Chi Heng hesitated for a while, and gave up calling Sergeant Badman for support. Now that he has such advanced equipment, it would be unwise to ask for help, because it would relatively restrict his actions and use of equipment.

"Junk, come on up."

For the sake of safety, Chi Heng considered for a long time, and took the "bad copper and rotten iron" with him, let it sit in the back seat, and controlled the drone at close range. If Chi Heng encountered a danger that he couldn't handle, he would let it rescue him.

Without stopping, Chi Heng arrived at the gate of the abandoned amusement park for the second time at 12 noon.

The iron chain at the gate disappeared without a trace, but it was only concealed, and the puppet army that met yesterday afternoon was not visible on the left and right sides.

In the quiet amusement park, the only message conveyed is the word barren.

Chi Heng did not bring the "Red Dragon" with him this time, and handed over the "Red Dragon" to "Battered Copper and Iron". He himself held an AR-15, put on a vambrace on his right arm, and put on a new type of nanotube body armor , commanded "battered copper and rotten iron" twice, and stepped out of the car.

The XR extended reality device was activated in his eyes, and the viewing angles on both sides were forcibly increased to a wide-angle range to prevent the possibility of being attacked. He held the muzzle of the AR-15 rifle flat, moved forward quickly, and entered the amusement park carefully.

Somehow, the way here was sunny all the way, but when Chi Heng came outside the amusement park, the sunny day was replaced by dark clouds. Combined with the obsolete and abandoned equipment in the amusement park, it added a sense of bleak autumn.

Where should I look for clues?
Chi Heng walked calmly and followed the route yesterday afternoon. First, he came to the merry-go-round. There was no movement, and there was no music playing.

He then started to leave, but only walked a dozen steps, turned his head suddenly, and found that the merry-go-round started without anyone, accompanied by weird music.

And what's even more weird is that there are more than a dozen puppets on the horseback of the merry-go-round horse. The puppets include Wilbo, Sarah, and David, as well as Martinez and Luna who were lost in the amusement park yesterday. The three of them, O'Connor and O'Connor, had stiff faces and were shaped like puppets, sitting on horseback and rising and falling with the rotation and music.

When Chi Heng looked back at them, these puppets, which were carved out of the same mold as Wilbo and others, turned their heads crunchingly, with a mocking smile on their lips.

Chi Heng froze for a moment, raised his gun and fired without saying a word.

After a few shots, the heads and bodies of the puppet sitting on the wooden horse were pierced by bullets, and blood flowed from the pierced holes, but it still did not prevent them from continuing to laugh.

Chi Heng sneered back, walked out a little further away, immediately switched to the perspective of the drone, lowered the height of the drone, and locked on to the carousel.

"blow!"

The horned eagle drone dropped a Hummingbird missile vertically, ignited it in mid-air in an instant, and shot out quickly, turning into a straight arc and hitting the carousel hard.
