Hidden moth

Chapter 25 The Hidden Moth's Counterattack

He Kao knew that something had happened in Apartment Building No. 3 that morning. He saw the news in a chat group because many of his colleagues also lived there, but they only heard that an explosion had occurred.

Then He Kao asked Huang Xiaopang, who looked confused and said he knew nothing.

When He Kao returned to the apartment after get off work that day, he wanted to go to the 19th floor to take a look. After getting out of the elevator, he was stopped by security personnel in the corridor. Tenants other than those on the 19th floor were not allowed to enter that floor, and the police's on-site evidence collection and investigation work had not yet been completed.

Another day passed before He Kao finally figured out what had happened.

When he passed by the sales office on his way back to the apartment after get off work on Tuesday, he found that the lights inside were still on. He went in to take a look and saw that Xiao Hu was still working overtime with two other people.

Today's Xiao Hu is no longer the Xiao Hu of the day before yesterday. He has become Manager Hu. The former Manager Yang is said to have resigned. He Kao asked in confusion, "Why did Manager Yang suddenly quit?"

Manager Hu lowered his voice and said, "Hey, don't mention it! He said he resigned on his own initiative, saying it was because the feng shui here was bad, and there were always strange things happening, so he didn't want to work here anymore... But in fact, he was scolded by his boss and left.

The boss asked him to come over to appease you that day, but he took matters into his own hands and caused trouble, which made the boss very angry. Then yesterday, something big happened again, and even if he tried to cover it up, he couldn't. The boss had no place to vent his anger, so he scolded him profusely.

Manager Yang went to He Kao and brought up the matter of Tengxin signing a cooperation agreement with Zhima Apartment and collectively changing the rental contracts of its employees.

The employees at Tengxin were already renting the apartment just fine, so why did they suddenly think of this? Although Sesame Apartment has always had no trouble renting out its apartments, I'm worried that all these tenants will actually run away!

As a result, just one day later, another big incident happened in Sesame Apartment. The boss was almost crazy. Manager Yang, who had run into bad luck, was scolded and sent away, and Manager Hu, who took over, was both happy and worried.

Xiao Hu was happy that he was finally promoted to a leader, but he was worried that he didn't know whether what Manager Yang said was true or not. He hoped that there was really something wrong with the feng shui of Sesame Apartment!

When the police arrived at the scene yesterday, Xiao Hu was actually there too. Later, he helped the security department on duty at the elevator entrance on the 19th floor. So he knew some of the situation at the scene and told He Kao about it during the chat.

When people are unsure of themselves, they often have a strong desire to talk. And when they meet a caring listener like He Kao, if Manager Hu didn't have unfinished work, he would have wanted to take him out for a barbecue.

Manager Hu also asked He Kao to do him a favor privately, which was to find out the news from the business department, whether they really wanted to sign a cooperation agreement, when to sign, and how to sign it?
He Kao agreed readily.

After listening to Manager Hu's introduction, He Kao had already solved the case in his mind. It was Huang Xiaopang who did it, and he used the bamboo bomb he made himself.

As for why the people in the room disappeared, it was just like the fireworks were moved. As a hidden moth, Xiaopang should have this method. The missing Liang Kai must be the one who broke into his room with a gun that night.

A muffled thud from under a blanket in Sesame Apartment stunned many people. Based on what they had learned about the scene, it was most likely the work of a cryptid moth; all of its characteristics were incredibly obvious!

Qian Guran was also confused, but he quickly found out the exact time of the explosion: 8:17 a.m. Qian Guran remembered clearly that at this time on Monday morning, He Kao was having breakfast in the company cafeteria, sitting across from him.

In other words, if the explosion was done by Yin Mo, then He Kao is definitely not Yin Mo!
Of course, He Kao is no longer Yin Mo today, because Yin Mo's belongings are lost, but the person who stole the beast claw pendant is certainly Qian.

Lao Qian did not become the Hidden Moth, but the real Hidden Moth appeared again, which only proved one thing - he stole the wrong thing, and the pendant did not belong to the Hidden Moth!
Lao Qian couldn't help but feel confused: Who am I, where am I, and why am I here?
It's not just the money, of course. Almost everyone who has ever stolen a pendant has realized this.

Liang Kai's identity and background soon became known. He was a disciple of Danding Sect, and his cultivation level might be the second-level "Mountain Guest" or the third-level "Yin Yang Master".

Many people are usually unwilling to reveal their identity as sorcerers and are more sensitive to the protection of private information than ordinary people. In order to prevent misunderstandings, there is a set of underworld jargon in the sorcery school, just like the secret codes for spies to meet.

The explosion at Sesame Apartment caused such a sensation, at least in this circle, that many people were wondering who was involved in the accident, and Liang Kai's identity was then spread.

Some people felt a chill and realized that this was the revenge of the hidden moth.

He Kao is clearly not a Yin Moth, so why would Yin Moth retaliate? The reason is simple: everyone thinks He Kao is a Yin Moth, and when they deal with He Kao, they are actually dealing with a Yin Moth!
These people ran to the habitat and locked the suspect on He Kao. How could the real Yin Moth not notice the news? When they were secretly spying on He Kao, Yin Moth was also spying on them.

Why did Yin Ge choose to attack Liang Kai? Because Liang Kai broke into He Kao's apartment with a gun, posing a direct threat to his life.

At this point, everyone guessed that the gunman He Kao mentioned when he called the police should be Liang Kai.

Originally, many people had only heard of the legend of the Hidden Moth, and came to Qiyuan after learning the clues. Their goal was to get the Hidden Moth's things. They thought that the other party was just an ordinary person who got a magical prop, and it should not be difficult to deal with it with the power of magic.

They had never dealt with the hidden moth, and they didn't know who the hidden moth was. At least He Kao looked harmless, but they didn't expect the real hidden moth to be so cruel!

Anyone would be apprehensive to have such an elusive and ruthless enemy. Some even secretly congratulated themselves on their "polite" behavior and not doing anything to He Kao. It was only Liang Kai who had crossed the line.

Liang Kai himself was relatively unknown, but his master was quite famous among sorcerers. His name was Wan Zhongle, known as Mr. Le. He was a deacon of the Dan Ding Sect. It was said that his Dan Ding technique had reached the fifth level and he might even become a sect elder in the future.

The first level of the Dan Ding technique is called the Collector. The second level of the Dan Ding technique is commonly known as the Mountain Visitor.

He is at the third level of Dan Ding Shu and calls himself a Yin-Yang master.

The fourth level of Dan Ding Shu, jokingly called the Gardener.

He is at the fifth level of the art of alchemy and is known as a person who knows taste.

The sixth level of alchemy, honored as the Pharmacist.

The "Le" in Wan Zhongle's name is pronounced as "music", but the nickname Mr. Le is pronounced as "joy".

This Mr. Le and Wu Yanjun were indirectly related. Initially, someone from the Danding Sect approached Zhang Yanfei with a batch of precious materials, requesting that a copy of the ancestor's relics be made, but they later took the original.

Wan Zhongle had been in charge of the entire incident from start to finish. He Kao also learned about the identity of the missing person from the 19th floor explosion, as well as Wan Zhongle himself, from Wu Yanjun.

Xiao Wu was quite considerate. He seemed to truly consider He Kao a friend. Even though he was away, he still cared about the situation here. Although he didn't know much about the Shu Sect, he had inquired about information related to his master, Zhang Yanfei.

Wu Yanjun had never heard of Liang Kai before, but he certainly didn't have a good impression of his teacher, Wan Zhongle. His purpose in calling He Kao was simple: first, to find out what had happened, and second, to remind He Kao to be more careful.

Some things cannot be closed once they are opened. Since Xiao Wu has already told He Kao a lot about the art, he might as well introduce more as much as possible without breaking any taboos.

After hearing about this, Ye Yuxuan was actually quite scared. Fortunately, she did not do anything too extreme, and Wu Yanjun found a way to smooth over the matter afterwards... She did not expect Yin E's reaction to be so intense.

Even Ye Hui specially called Ye Yuxuan over and gave her a lecture on this incident, while also praising Wu Yanjun for his ability to handle things. This made Xiao Wu very proud.

Wu Yanjun tried to get He Kao to tell him on the phone if he knew who Yin Mo was or if he had any suspects. He Kao's answer was flawless, saying that apart from Xiao Wu, no one had ever told him anything about Yin Mo.

Not only Ye Yuxuan was shocked, but also Qian Guran.

After confirming that He Kao was not the Hidden Moth, Qian Guran finally retrieved the beast claw pendant from outside. No wonder he had not figured out anything about it for a long time. It turned out that it was not the Hidden Moth's thing at all.

Old Qian suddenly became much more sober and realized that this thing was a passive magic weapon with two magical uses: "calming the mind" and "detecting malicious intent".

Of course it is precious. In the magic circle, if it is sold for one or two million, there will definitely be many people who want to buy it. But for a third-level magician, the money is of no use.

This item is suitable for giving to younger generations, especially children. It is not wrong to say that it can ward off evil spirits. If it has any other effects on people, it must be worn for a long time... Thinking of this, Qian Guran suddenly realized that He Kao was not simple!

If this item is only worn for one or two days, or one or two months, it will only have the passive effect mentioned above. However, if it is worn for one or two years or even longer, the true benefits will be reflected.

Specifically, it means that the mind is stable and the intuition is sharp, which makes people calmer, clear-headed and thoughtful than ordinary people. This will also affect the physical condition, such as more coordinated movements and quicker reactions.

As for the "side effects", it may cause a more sensitive and suspicious personality, but this is not absolute.

He Kao has been wearing it close to his body for more than 20 years, and it started from the most important period of childhood growth and development!
As long as such a person has no congenital defects, he is actually very suitable for practicing magic. Unfortunately, he is almost 26 years old this year, and no one has discovered and cultivated him. There are many good seedlings in the world, but they are buried like this.

While Qian was feeling emotional, he was also very conflicted about what to do with this magical weapon.

Old Qian carefully reviewed his every move during his contact with He Kao. He thought he had reacted the fastest, taken action the earliest, and acted the most cautiously, so he shouldn't have been noticed. If he went back now, he would likely be noticed, which would be like exploding himself.

Forget it, let’s keep it for now and deal with it later depending on the situation. Just consider it as a favor I owe He Kao.

Qian Guran was feeling emotional when he received the notice of the department activity at the weekend. He secretly complained in his heart why he had to do team building again, but when he thought about it, it seemed that the last department activity was nearly two months ago.

The pace of large-scale recruitment in the Cloud Life project team has slowed down, but two new employees joined last month. The number of people in the department has expanded from 19 at the beginning of the year to 37 now.

An'e always has to hold a party when there are new people. It's customary to hold department activities once a month on average, so the time has come.

I heard that during the last department team-building event at the Bada Club, General Manager E almost choked while swimming and got a bit scared, so she never wanted to go there again. This time, she decided to go to Qiyun Mountain to eat roasted whole lamb.
