Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent
Chapter 2: Undercover
Aries and Xiao Wang first met ten days ago.
At that time, Aries was still dressed in a white suit. When he met Xiao Wang, he only said one sentence: "I can help you find the people who killed your parents."
Xiao Wang was shocked when he heard this, because his investigation into the murderer of his parents was conducted in secret, and even his adoptive parents did not know about it.
Out of caution, Xiao Wang ignored Aries completely, pretending not to know anything, and prepared to leave directly.
Aries didn't say much, but simply wrote a note and handed it to Xiao Wang before turning and leaving.
The note contained the information of the current owner of the room.
Aries stood in the doorway, looking at the blood-stained room where he couldn't even step. "I didn't lie to you, did I? Now you believe I can help you find your parents' killers, right?"
Xiao Wang had calmed down considerably by this time. He quickly sorted through his memories and confirmed that his predecessor and this Aries had only met twice.
And this second meeting took place at such a murder scene.
After considering all the factors, Xiao Wang asked, "Tell me your conditions?"
Aries smiled after hearing this and said, "I like dealing with smart people. It seems my gift to you is not bad."
Xiao Wang listened without speaking, waiting for Aries to continue.
Aries tiptoed, trying to step on areas without bloodstains, and took a few steps toward the living room. Then, he found a relatively clean spot to stand. "My conditions are simple: I want you to enter the inner city and do me a few small favors."
Whenever Xiao Wang heard a new term, he would search and sort through his memories.
He didn't reply, but was digesting the word "inner city".
Seeing that Xiao Wang did not answer, Aries continued to speak to himself, "I know it will be difficult to enter the inner city, but I have faith in you."
"But I didn't," Xiao Wang replied after sorting through his memories. He realized that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to enter the inner city.
"Young man, don't be so absolute. What if you end up in jail?" Aries said, moving closer to the corpse on the ground. He looked at the body, then looked up at Xiao Wang, his expression serious and his tone cold, and said, "You know you killed someone from the police station, right?"
Xiao Wang listened, then quickly searched his memory for the name "police station," and after a moment replied, "Are you threatening me?"
"What threat? This is clearly a deal. I'll help you find your parents' killers, and in exchange, you'll enter the inner city and do me a few small favors."
Xiao Wang fell silent again. He sorted through his predecessor's memories. For many years, he had been secretly investigating the enemy who killed his parents, but he had made no progress. However, the desire for revenge had been deeply engraved in his mind.
Judging from Aries' current reaction, it's clear they've investigated the predecessor.
To maintain consistency with his predecessor's character, Xiao Wang pressed further, "If I don't agree, will you expose me?"
Aries smiled at Xiao Wang, "That's not necessarily true, it's just that you won't be able to get information on the remaining enemies."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang feigned surprise, his tone filled with murderous intent—though this was all an act—"There were others who killed my parents?"
"Of course, do you think someone who was just a low-level police officer at the time could have accomplished such a large-scale operation?"
"Tell me, what do I need to do for you to give me the rest of the list?"
"As I just said, all I need is for you to enter the inner city and do me a few small favors."
"But getting into the inner city is so difficult. If I don't get in, will I never get the rest of the list?"
Aries listened, shrugged, and said, "I told you this is a transaction, and transactions are based on mutual exchange. I've already given you such a generous gift, which is quite sincere, isn't it?"
Xiao Wang listened, then remained silent for a moment. "Even if I can enter the inner city, it will probably be some time later. By then, you'll have missed the opportunity to do what you need to do."
"No rush. We can proceed with the next exchange as soon as you enter the inner city."
Xiao Wang listened and quickly considered the meaning of his words. "You want me to go into the inner city and stay there for a long time?"
"So it's like I'm being your undercover agent?"
"Wait, could you be... one of the rebels?"
Xiao Wang combined his memories with those of his predecessor, quickly analyzed the situation, and then came to this conclusion, asking a question in return.
Upon hearing this, Aries not only didn't get angry or nervous, but instead smiled easily. "Indeed, I still prefer dealing with smart people. You're right, according to you, I am indeed a member of the rebels, but we call ourselves the insurgents."
Hearing Aries's relaxed words, Xiao Wang tensed up all over.
Because if someone tells you a secret that could get you killed, there are generally only two possibilities: either you get on board and keep the secret together, or you die and they continue to keep the secret alone.
Xiao Wang glanced at Aries. Aries looked relaxed, but Xiao Wang noticed that the veins on his hand holding the black cane were starting to bulge.
"It seems I have no other choice?"
Aries looked at the corpse on the ground again, and then said meaningfully, "Actually, you still have some."
So you'll become a corpse, right?
Xiao Wang wanted to complain, but he held back and asked, "If I still can't get into the inner city, will I not be able to get the rest of the list?"
"I told you, this is a deal, but if you agree, I'll give you another gift later."
Xiao Wang fell into thought.
The rain was still pouring down outside the window, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
"If we don't agree, we might not be able to leave this room tonight. Never mind, let's agree first and keep them calm."
Xiao Wang thought to himself, looked at Aries, and said, "Alright, I agree, but I can't guarantee whether we can enter the inner city."
Aries laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Haha, I've said it several times, you are indeed a smart person, a very wise choice."
After agreeing, Xiao Wang observed Aries's behavior and guessed that he had probably managed to calm the other party down. Then, his thoughts returned to the scene.
Looking at the blood-soaked room, he asked, "What should we do next?"
Aries smiled and said, "You don't need to handle it, just leave it to me, because we're colleagues now."
After a pause, Aries reminded him, "You should go home. Think of a reason for your whereabouts tonight, just in case."
Xiao Wang nodded. After the matter was settled, he suddenly became dazed and turned around somewhat blankly, preparing to walk outside.
"What are you doing? Are you just going to go back like this?" Aries said, handing the black bag he was carrying to Xiao Wang. "Wash yourself and change before you leave."
Xiao Wang took the bag, opened it, and found that it contained clean clothes and a black raincoat.
Clearly, the other party came prepared.
