You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 399: After much hardship, we are looking for this place. We are heading in the right direction.
Under the dim moonlight, the construction site was dead silent.
Only a few dim lights swayed in the wind.
The light and shadows cast mottled shadows on Zheng Qifeng's face, which was full of worry.

He stood in a remote corner, holding his cell phone tightly in his hand, as if it was his only life-saving straw at the moment.

His fingers hovered over the dial key, trembling slightly.

The beads of sweat on my forehead slid down my cheeks.

It dripped onto the dusty ground and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a tiny wet mark.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, and his heart was beating violently in his chest.

The "bang bang" sound is like dense drum beats.
It hit his eardrums again and again.

Zheng Qifeng knew that he was standing at a dangerous crossroads.

One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

The sinister intentions of the White and Red Empire are obvious.

They wanted to use themselves and their fellow countrymen from the Great Xia Empire as worthless cannon fodder.

Ruthlessly pushed to this ominous place shrouded in ominous haze,
Let them test the unfathomable level of danger.

However, Chu He's words were like a ray of hope.
Penetrating through the thick fog, he saw a glimmer of hope for turning the tide.

"Attack and defense change..."

Zheng Qifeng silently repeated these words in his heart, and a hint of determination gradually emerged in his eyes.

He understood what they had to do now.
It is to let the White-Red Empire also have a taste of being pushed to the forefront.

This forced them to send people to take risks and uncover the shocking secrets hidden behind this mysterious land.

After all, he and Xiang Xiufang's family had gone to great lengths to leave their hometown.
All I want is a stable source of money so that my family can live a better life.

However, the White-Red Empire had evil intentions. What they were plotting was the future destiny of the entire country.

This is a cruel game of life and death.

If this operation fails, the White-Red Empire will fall into an abyss of no return.
There is no chance to rise again.

For the top leaders of the White-Red Empire, this is undoubtedly their last straw.

If you can hold on tight,

Perhaps we can still find a glimmer of hope to turn the tide in this desperate situation.

But if they make the slightest mistake, what awaits them is only a tragic fate of being at the mercy of others.

Zheng Qifeng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He kept encouraging himself in his heart, telling himself to stay calm and act according to Chu He's plan.

When his finger finally pressed the dial button,
My heart still rose to my throat involuntarily.
My heartbeat became faster and faster, as if it was about to burst out of my chest.

The call was connected, and a strange and indifferent voice came from the other end.

Zheng Qifeng suppressed his inner tension and said, "Hello, it's me, Zheng Qifeng. There's an accident at the construction site..."

To his surprise,

He didn't even have time to use the words he had carefully prepared in his mind.

It was just a brief and concise description of the horrific incident that occurred on the construction site.
The White-Red Empire man on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation.
There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Don't be afraid, just be patient, we will send someone to deal with it right away."

Zheng Qifeng hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt secretly relieved.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and relief.

It seems that Chu He was right. This piece of land is very important to the White-Red Empire.

It must be of extraordinary importance.
It was so important that they didn't even bother to consider whether there was a conspiracy or trap hidden in it.

I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible and take control of the situation.

Zheng Qifeng thought carefully, if this piece of land is really so important,
Then even if you know there may be a conspiracy ahead,
I'm afraid the White-Red Empire will also rush in at all costs.

After all, at the critical moment of life and death, any glimmer of hope is enough to make people go all out.

Just over ten minutes later, a low roar broke the silence of the night.

Zheng Qifeng looked up.
I saw a pitch-black bus like a giant beast rushing out of the darkness.
Slowly coming from a distance.

The dust on the car body appeared particularly clear under the light.

The bus slowly stopped at the entrance of the construction site.
There was a dull brake sound, and the dust raised by the wheels filled the air.

The car door slowly opened, and a group of people walked out of the car one after another.

Zheng Qifeng subconsciously counted them and found there were about ten or so.

As soon as these people got off the car, they exuded a chilling aura.

Half of them were dressed in typical samurai attire of the White and Red Empire;
The black clothes are embroidered with delicate golden patterns.
It flashed a cold light under the light, and the scabbard of the samurai sword worn at its waist was also engraved with mysterious runes.

They stood tall and straight, their steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to carry a heavy weight.

His eyes revealed his inherent arrogance and coldness.
They are the masters of this world, and everything is under their control.

The other half were dressed as ninjas, wrapped in black tights.
Only a pair of eyes were exposed. Those eyes were like those of a poisonous scorpion, flashing with cold and dangerous light.

It makes people afraid to look directly.

As they moved, their bodies were as light as ghosts.

It seems that I am not walking, but my shadow is twisting in the darkness.

It gives people a strange and thrilling sense of picture and vision.
At any time, you may merge into this endless darkness and disappear without a trace.

As soon as the group got off the car, a man wearing glasses walked straight towards Zheng Qifeng.

His attire was completely different from that of a samurai or a ninja. He wore a neat and straight white suit.
His hair was combed meticulously, and the glasses on his face reflected a cold light under the light.
It's hard to see his eyes clearly.

He walked up to Zheng Qifeng, raised his chin slightly, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Take me to the place where the accident happened."

There was no room for negotiation in his tone; his words were orders and could not be disobeyed.

The dark night is like a heavy black cloth.
It weighs heavily on this construction site that exudes an eerie atmosphere.

The dim lights tremble in the wind.

Trying hard to emit a faint light,
But it still seemed a little powerless and could only barely illuminate a small area around it.

Zheng Qifeng looked up, and when he saw the person's face clearly, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
There was a hint of deliberate flattery in his surprise, and he quickly said, "Hey,

It turned out to be Mr. Goto Taiji. I never expected that such a distinguished person like you would come to visit.

You actually came in person!"

Zheng Qifeng said this while slightly bending his body.

His face was filled with just the right amount of respect.

But in my heart I was secretly planning the next response strategy.

After saying this, Zheng Qifeng took the initiative to walk to the front without hesitation.

Although his steps seemed steady, his heart was actually beating fast.

He knew it all clearly. He just needed to stay by the pit where Chu He was.
There is a high probability that you will not encounter any danger.

After all, if something unexpected happened, it would mean that even Chu He would not be able to control the situation.

At that time, life or death will all depend on God's will.

There is no need to hold on to any luck anymore.

At this moment, all the headlights on the construction site were turned to the brightest.
Strong rays of light interweave together, just like the dawn of day.
Every corner of the construction site is illuminated clearly and brightly.

This seemingly bright environment does not make people feel at ease.
Instead, it makes this place seem even more weird and eerie.

Goto Taiji walked into the construction site at a leisurely pace.
He was wearing a neat black suit, his hair was slicked back, and he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The look behind the lenses revealed a bit of scrutiny and majesty.

As soon as he came in, he frowned and looked around sharply.
Then he asked, "Where are the others on the construction site? Why are you the only ones left here?"

Zheng Qifeng hurriedly put on a fake smile, and the muscles on his face became a little stiff.
But he still tried hard to maintain that seemingly sincere appearance,
He explained carefully, "Oh, Mr. Goto Taiji, you don't know.

The whole night lasted less than an hour.

Two extremely weird things happened one after another.

The workers were all terrified and now they are all in a state of panic.

Just like a frightened bird.

I really have no other choice, in order to calm everyone down,

I gritted my teeth and let them go back and rest first.

But don't worry, I haven't reduced your salary by a penny today and I will pay you as usual.

I am also worried that if I force them to continue working,
Who knows, everyone might run away the next day.

By then, it will be difficult to gather enough workers to do the work, and the construction period will definitely be affected.

That would be bad for both of us, wouldn't it?
That’s why I resorted to this desperate measure. I hope you can understand.”

As Zheng Qifeng spoke, he secretly observed Goto Taiji's expression.
I was very nervous, afraid that the other party would be unhappy and cause trouble for me.

Goto Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zheng Qifeng quietly for a long time, as if he wanted to see through him.

After a moment, he seemed to have figured something out and nodded slightly.

A rare look of appreciation appeared on his face, and he said, "Well, not bad.
You have really thought it through, and it is even more detailed and thoughtful than I thought."

As soon as he said this, the heavy stone hanging in Zheng Qifeng's heart finally fell to the ground.

The smile on his face became more natural, and he nodded and bowed in response.

Goto Taiji put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and said with an attitude of being in control of the situation, "The losses your construction site has suffered today because of these things,

We in the White-Red Empire will make up for all of them for you.

So, no matter what happens next,
You just need to work for us conscientiously. We in the White-Red Empire have always been clear about rewards and punishments.

I will never treat you unfairly, so you can rest assured." His tone was full of confidence and domineering.

He is the high and mighty ruler who can decide the fate of others with just a few words.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Goto Taiji, you are so generous!"

When Zheng Qifeng heard this, his eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands together in excitement.

It was as if his thoughts were all written on his face.

I was thinking happily that I could get a lot of benefits this time.
The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Go check and see what went wrong at the construction site this time?"

Goto Taiji turned around and glanced at the group of samurai and ninjas behind him.
There was a command in his eyes that could not be disobeyed.

When the samurai and ninjas heard this, they all lowered their heads and responded in unison: "Yes!"

The voices were uniform and loud, echoing in the empty construction site.

Then they quickly dispersed and explored the construction site in all directions.

I saw that those ninjas were light and agile, like ghosts in the night, and their speed was astonishingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, their figures turned into jumping and shuttling black shadows.
Flashing back and forth in this huge and intricate construction site,
Appeared in this corner a moment later,

After a while, it flashed to the other side.

It was impossible to see their movements clearly.

All I could see were those dark shadows that flickered in and out of the light like ghosts.
It added a bit of eerie atmosphere to the already weird construction site.

The warriors on the other side took steady and slow steps.

Walking back and forth on the construction site in an orderly manner.

They all stood tall and straight, dressed in traditional warrior attire.
The black robe was embroidered with delicate patterns, and the samurai sword on his waist flashed coldly under the light, demonstrating his extraordinary aura.

Their expressions were focused and solemn, and they tried their best to feel every subtle change in energy between heaven and earth.

In their opinion, if there is any problem hidden in this construction site,
That would inevitably disrupt the original energy balance between the surrounding heaven and earth.

It has a significant impact on the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.
And with their keen perception acquired through years of practice, they will definitely be able to detect clues from it.

Not long after, the samurai and ninjas returned one after another.

One of the warriors, a burly warrior with a stern face, stepped forward first.

There was a hint of doubt and solemnity in his eyes, and he said respectfully: "Sir,
This construction site is really strange. We just explored it.
I found that the energy of heaven and earth no longer existed here, as if it was controlled by a mysterious and powerful external force.

It was as if it was forcibly expelling all the existing energy of heaven and earth,
This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Another ninja also nodded, he was wrapped in a black nightgown.

Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and there was a sharp light flashing in those eyes.
At this moment, he also showed some seriousness, and agreed: "Yes, sir, what he said is absolutely right.

I also clearly noticed this when I was searching in various areas just now.
The energy field around this construction site is very chaotic, and all the natural aura has disappeared completely.

It is really unusual, I am afraid it is hiding some incredible secrets."

As he spoke, he looked around cautiously.

It seems like unknown danger may emerge from any corner at any time.

The night is as dark as ink, deep and depressing.

The dim lights flickered in the night wind, like a group of tired ghosts struggling feebly, trying to dispel the darkness, but in vain.

Goto Taiji stood quietly in the middle of the construction site.

Staring closely at the seemingly ordinary but mysterious land in front of me,

There was an irrepressible light of excitement in his eyes.

Deep within that excitement, there was a hint of worry.

It was as if dark clouds blocked the moonlight, making his eyes somewhat complicated and unpredictable.

"It seems that the place we have been searching for with so much difficulty is in the right direction."

Goto Taiji raised his head slightly.

Looking at the night sky that was somewhat blurred by the lights, he said in a low and hoarse voice: "It's just that this haunted thing is really a headache."

"If this haunted trouble cannot be solved, the workers will be scared out of their wits.
How can they serve us sincerely?

By then, the construction period will be delayed indefinitely, which is very troublesome for our White-Red Empire.
It was undoubtedly a huge disaster.”

Goto Taiji's speech speed gradually increased, and his emotions became a little excited.
He unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, trying his best to suppress his inner anxiety: "Now our White-Red Empire has little time left.
Every minute and every second is extremely precious, we must complete this plan as soon as possible, otherwise..."

He did not continue speaking;

But the unfinished words are like a heavy lead block,

The pressure was weighing on everyone present, making it hard to breathe.

"Don't worry, sir."

at this time,

The warrior who was burly and had a face as stern as a stone statue took a step forward.
His movements were steady and powerful, as if they carried a tremendous amount of force.

He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Goto Taiji, his eyes firm and confident.
Just like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, it makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

"We will personally stay at the construction site until these ghostly villains are completely dealt with."

His voice was deep and loud, echoing in the silent night sky.

There is an invisible force that can dispel the fear in people's hearts.

“Wait until tomorrow night and let the construction site resume normal work.

If there are any further problems, we will solve them without hesitation.
We will never let those evil things take advantage of us."

Goto Taiji heard this and nodded slightly, with a gratified smile on his face.

A smile is like a ray of light in the darkness.
It dispelled some of the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts.

"That's great. I'm going to have to trouble you all in the next period of time."

His eyes slowly swept over the samurai and ninjas in front of him, his eyes full of gratitude and trust.

“We are all the elite of the White-Red Empire, and the future of the empire is in your hands and mine.

Once this plan succeeds, we will become heroes of the White-Red Empire.

The descendants of the empire will all praise our achievements.

Our names will be engraved in the history of the empire and will be immortalized forever!"

Goto Taiji's voice was passionate and generous.
I have seen the brilliant future of the White and Red Empire.

The picture was so clear that his eyes were filled with longing and yearning.

The samurai and ninjas couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing what Goto Taiji said.
The laughter was hearty and heroic, echoing over the construction site for a long time.

The next night, the moonlight was like water,
Quietly sprinkled on this mysterious construction site,
It covered the earth with a layer of silver gauze.

The construction site resumed normal construction as scheduled, and the roar of machines broke the silence of the night.

The samurai and ninjas patrolled the construction site in groups of two, marching in neat and steady steps.

Tamamonomae, who went out to investigate the news, has not returned yet.

Chu He stood quietly by the side, his eyes deep and calm, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to peek into his inner thoughts.

He looked in the direction where Tamamonomae left, thinking secretly in his heart.

With Tamamonomae's unique talent,
Even if she really encounters danger, she can rely on her wit and agility.

It shouldn't be difficult to get out of this unscathed.

"Boss Zheng! Boss Zheng!"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried and panicked shouts broke the hustle and bustle on the construction site.

It was like the cry of a night owl, making people feel creepy.

I saw the staff member who was in charge of supervising the work on duty tonight jogging over.

His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
Like beads that had broken off the string, his eyes were filled with fear and panic, as if he had just experienced a nightmare.

"There's a problem again! Our machine can't dig deep into that place!"

He panted heavily, his voice trembling: "I just jumped down and scratched it with my hands.
I found out that it was just ordinary soil, but the machine didn't move at all.

And I sent people to dig directly down there with tools,

The excavated soil was piled up to the side and almost formed a small hill.

But the soil level in that place never decreased.

This...is this another strange thing happening?"

His body kept shaking, tightly wrapped in an invisible chill, unable to break free.

Goto Taiji was sitting next to Zheng Qifeng.
The reason why he was responsible for the connection work with Zheng Qifeng was,
It was because he was proficient in the languages ​​of both the Great Xia Empire and the White-Red Empire.

Able to communicate and coordinate between the two like a duck in water,
To ensure the smooth implementation of the empire's plans.

Hearing the supervisor's call, he immediately stood up, moving swiftly and decisively.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and said something quickly and briefly.

The samurai and ninjas on patrol received the order.

They gathered together quickly, their movements were in unison.

Demonstrated extremely high discipline and execution.

Under the guidance of the supervisor, everyone walked quickly towards the problematic areas.

The footsteps were hurried, and everyone's face was solemn and nervous.
