Senlu glared at the pink-haired ball fiercely, and then said in a bad tone:

"Put your cub in my hands. Let's meet at a place, Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile. When the time comes, you release the detective and I'll return your cub to you. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing him!"

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, the boy on the other end of the phone agreed. The three girls were all unable to do it, and they were ready to deal with it, but the boy quickly put forward his own conditions:

"Only Wen Xiaotong is allowed to bring him here. Otherwise, even if you kill him, I will refine the detective after the copy is over. The address is No. XXX, Seaside Manor, Madison State, waiting for you at six o'clock this morning. I will place puppet spies within two kilometers around. If you do anything tricky, don't blame me."

After saying all this, without giving the girls a chance to raise any objections, Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile simply hung up the phone. When they called back, only the tone of an unavailable number remained.

Wen Xiaotong looked at the page with the empty number, her expression slightly complicated.

Even if this was a trap, they had to fall into it. After all, when it came to hostages, there was still a huge gap between Little Thousand Faces Ghost and the detectives in the opponent's hands.

"Tsk, this guy."

"What do you mean, should we do what he says?" Sen Lu looked at the pink-haired girl beside him.

Li Anxin gave the choice to Wen Xiaotong:

"Xiaotong, what do you think?"

"I, I hate doing multiple-choice questions the most. Tsk, but as long as that kid is still in my hands, there shouldn't be any problem. You guys just wait for me two kilometers away and do what he says."

"Ah."

Then, Li Anxin thought of something and made a brief plan. The three girls set out at daybreak. Not long after, Wen Xiaotong arrived at the meeting place mentioned by Thousand Faces Ghost Smile alone.

It was called Madison State. In the early days of the Lighthouse City, it focused on affordable tourism, using the gimmick of a resort and the Golden Dream to attract foreign tourists to this area of ​​the city. There are countless attractions, parks, resort hotels, and golden beaches. But after the first economic depression, the city government stopped investing and quickly fell into the current state.

Although it is not completely abandoned by the lighthouse like Abandoned Lane, not many tourists are willing to come here even during the peak vacation season. The facilities on the beach, in the amusement park and in the hotel have long been rusted. Only the dreamers who bought real estate here at that time still live here.

Although the crime rate here is lower than that of Waste Alley, it is truly a city of evil. It seems that gunshots are heard every minute and every second. The police cannot control this place. All the rules are made by the "Valen Gang". As long as they do not violate the rules of the Valen Gang, all residents here will be protected by them.

Even if a criminal escapes here, as long as he pays a "freedom" fee, the Valen Gang will find a way to clear his name, so this place has become a paradise for criminals.

It was early in the morning, and there were not many people on the street. A short black-haired girl was kicked out of a house with the lights on. Then a cursing voice came from inside the house:

"You little brat, are you trying to learn how to collect debts from others? Get as far away from me as possible!!"

The black-haired girl looked like she had been malnourished for a long time. Her skinny body was covered in dust, but her red eyes were still bright. After hearing these words, she stood up and also started to curse:

"F*ck, don't look down on me. I am a member of the Valen Gang. When I become the leader of the Valen Gang, I will first knock you down. What the hell is this!"

"Damn it, you dare to mess with me, Sen Xiaolu? Fine, you're dead! I will definitely kill you! Just wait for me."

The black-haired girl complained all the way, with her hands in her overalls. The sound of the beads tied to her slender wrists colliding with the night sky was extremely abrupt. Suddenly, she bumped into someone and fell to the ground on the spot:

"Fuck, who is this? Don't you have eyes to look at when you walk?!"

When she looked up, she saw a blonde girl covering her mouth and looking at her while trying not to laugh.

Wen Xiaotong could hardly hold it anymore.

Okay, okay, Luzi, it turns out your counterpart is like this, it’s quite interesting, hahahahahahaha.

"What are you laughing at? Get out of here! I'm from the Valen Gang! If you dare to mess with me, you'll be dead, ah..."

Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Xiaotong went straight to the point, ruffling the little girl's hair and then rubbing her face madly.

"Neuropathy!"

After struggling for a long time, Sen Xiaolu finally got rid of Wen Xiaotong's clutches. He glared at the blonde girl fiercely, and finally ran away without looking back.

The little Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile followed the blonde girl cowardly all the time. He quickly withdrew his eyes from the running black figure and continued to follow Wen Xiaotong with his head down.

After a brief interlude, Wen Xiaotong arrived at the manor at the address, and Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile seemed to have been waiting in the yard for a long time, drinking a cup of coffee. A corpse with its throat covered fell at the boy's feet, with blood pooling. It seemed that the original owner of the manor had been dead for some time.

Seeing the little boy following the blonde girl, Thousand-Faced Ghost smiled and motioned Wen Xiaotong to sit down.

Wen Xiaotong always felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she saw the gentle smile on the boy's lips. That face, which was more delicate than a girl's, looked particularly strange against the backdrop of the corpse at his feet.

The boy gave her a very dangerous feeling.

As he got closer to the fourth-ranked star contestant, Wen Xiaotong truly felt the suffocating pressure.

This feeling goes far beyond that of a gourmet.

It seemed that as long as the other party wanted, he could take care of her before she could react.

Seeing the girl's eyes wandering between the corpse and himself, the boy said gently:

"Don't worry. I don't like to kill people casually unless someone touches my bottom line, such as calling me a 'sissy', so I hope you can remember it too."

"Of course, if you mind this guy, I'll just let him go."

The young man raised his fingertips slightly, and the corpse staggered to its feet like a zombie, blood dripping from its hideous face, and it limped towards the house.

The girl remembered the other party's identity as a legendary puppeteer.

Not daring to be negligent any more, Wen Xiaotong took out a knife and put it against Xiao Qianmian Guixiao's neck:

"Let him go."

"No hurry, I'll make your coffee for you, drink it."

The boy's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it always carried an arrogance that was almost commanding, as if in front of him, Wen Xiaotong, who possessed the sequence talent, was no different from an ordinary person who was powerless. As long as he wanted, the girl could be crushed to death like an ant.

"Take him..."

"Didn't you understand what I said, sister? I told you to drink this cup of coffee. If you think I'm the kind of person who would use despicable means, I will be very angry."

The boy looked at Wen Xiaotong with an increasingly dangerous look.

"Tsk..."

Wen Xiaotong looked at the cup of coffee and swallowed, then finally raised the coffee and drank it all. After forcing Xiao Qianmian Guixiao to sit down, he started negotiations.

"Give the detective to me first. I can't just hand this guy over to you. Otherwise, what if you go back on your word?"

"Hmm? Keep going." The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, still smiling.

"Have him follow me and the detective until we are only a hundred meters away from my companions. This is a distance long enough for them to rescue me. I will move on only after they release the brat. If I don't release him and continue to move on, you can just do it directly."

The boy did not respond to Wen Xiaotong. He just continued to drink his coffee and read a book. Time passed by minute by minute. After a long period of mental tension, Wen Xiaotong could not help but relax his body gradually.

ten minutes later.

"Hmm~"

After enjoying the mellow coffee, the boy showed a happy expression on his face, and then closed the lid of the coffee cup:

"It's an offer I can't refuse, but..."

"I hate it most when someone threatens me with something. From the beginning, I never intended to negotiate with you. I just wanted to let everyone know the consequences of threatening me like this!"

The boy's expression was slightly distorted until this moment, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes. He suddenly pulled his hand.

Under the horrified gazes of Wen Xiaotong, all the commentators, and the audience, the invisible puppet line converged, and the body of the Little Thousand-Faced Ghost was instantly split into countless pieces!

Thousand-Faced Ghost Smile killed his childhood counterpart? !

How can this be? !

Is he crazy?

Seeing the little Thousand-Faced Ghost's upper body falling limply beside his legs, with confusion and fear before death still on his face, and a pair of big eyes looking at him blankly, Wen Xiaotong's inner fear reached its peak.

In her eyes, the boy was like a monster.

Why hasn’t the opponent been eliminated yet?

The other party's counterpart is clearly dead!

But he hasn’t been eliminated yet!

The next moment, the Thousand-Faced Ghost Laughed and laughed wildly, his sickly pale face was splattered with his childhood blood, and the boy just wiped the blood with his fingertips and licked it gently, then walked towards Wen Xiaotong slowly:

"Want to know why, sis?"

"Because my puppetry can give life!"

With a slight lift of his hand, the flesh and blood of the little Thousand-Faced Ghost, which had been split into countless pieces, were pieced together and sewn together under the traction of the puppet line. After a brief period of incoordination, the limbs quickly adapted and stood on the ground again, but the pair of originally beautiful big eyes were now filled with endless black.

The little Thousand-Faced Ghost was actually refined into a puppet by the young boy on the spot!

"Remember, no one can threaten me."

At this moment, there was only one word left in Wen Xiaotong's mind.

run!

The blonde girl turned and ran, but the line of puppets with a thousand faces and grins was already overwhelming, as if they were going to tear the girl into pieces in the next moment. At this critical moment, a silver-white armor fell from the sky and instantly wrapped the girl in it, blocking the attack.

The body is more slender and more textured than before, with heat gushing out from the thrusters and a misty blue light spreading in the darkness.

It turned out to be the White Knight who had replaced his core and upgraded!

After the improvement, this battle armor reached the same level three as the Sword God, and its comprehensive defense could block a full-strength attack from an S-level!

The boy was not surprised by this, and did not attack the armor again, but let it take the girl up into the sky and fly away:

"Well, it seems you have a backup plan. At least I've taught you a lesson. Don't make such a stupid mistake again, sister. Let's just say we parted on bad terms. Bye~"

Chapter 520: "Decadent City" Withered Flowers and Her Demise (1)

Today is a day worth celebrating for Teacher Lin.

Because her performance was pretty good, she received an extra 136EUR bonus this month.

In addition, the children’s entrance examination will begin tomorrow. Regardless of what their final results are, the burden that has been on me for several months can be put down immediately.

This young female teacher, who has not been to the job for long, fantasizes about going to a barbecue restaurant she hasn't been to for a long time after get off work, opening a bottle of cider that she usually doesn't want to drink, and then walking along the river bank of Madison State while listening to soothing songs and enjoying the evening breeze. She watches short videos before going to bed, and goes to bed when she feels very sleepy and her eyelids are heavy, and sleeps for a whole day.

Say goodbye to all the troubles of this noisy world.

No need to be woken up by a shrill alarm clock, no need to drag your tired body to work every day, organize courseware, and deal with those disobedient children.

It feels so good. Just thinking about it brought a happy smile to the young female teacher's face. She quickened her pace like a bird and met many other teachers from the school on the way.

I couldn't see the teachers' faces clearly, but when they saw the youthful aura emanating from the woman, they couldn't help but stop and look in her direction.

In their eyes,

The world is black and white, but this equally black and white teacher seems to be gradually gaining color.

Teacher Lin didn't know what kind of look that was. Since she came here, she received such looks every day, from colleagues, faculty and students. It was as if she was an outsider in the eyes of others.

She made everyone confused.

Everyone also made her feel confused.

Why do you all have such a numb face?

Shouldn't we have a positive attitude towards life? At least after a long period of negativity, we should occasionally think of something interesting to make ourselves smile. Why do people always have such expressions on their faces?

No matter what, she should at least be herself.

As she approached her class, the smile on the woman's face gradually faded and became a little serious. After a few knocks on the door, the originally noisy class quieted down. The children who were playing and fighting saw their head teacher and sat back in their seats obediently as if they had seen a tiger.

After everything quieted down, Teacher Lin finally stood on the podium, stood on tiptoe and said in a serious voice:

"Tomorrow is the entrance exam. Sometimes I really don't understand you kids from S1. Your families went to great lengths to send you here. Isn't it because they hope you will have a better future?"

"You only have this chance. Only if you seize it can you continue your studies. If you don't pass the exam, what can you do when you return? At such a young age, are you going to work in the S1 factory like your parents?"

The more the woman spoke, the more she felt that these children were going too far, and her tone became more and more agitated, but then she thought, it's the last day, why should she be so hard on herself? Just keep a good mood.

The children from S1 in the audience were wearing tattered clothes and looked sloppy. Their early exposure to society often caused them to use dirty words...

Although I don't say it out loud,

But she knew that these children's lives were ruined.

After taking the entrance examinations, they will leave Madison State and return to S1, where they will be scolded by their parents. Then they will become confused about the future and become rusty gears in the huge steam machinery of S1, spending the rest of their lives in toxic smog and heavy metal lead water.

Perhaps she would be implicated and scolded a few times, but she had already done her best. She had used countless tricks on those children and thought of one method after another, but the expressions on their faces were the same as those of the adults and never changed.

She had doubted whether it was because of her own lack of ability, and often recalled her father's advice before she came here from California.

"Don't take it too seriously, you'll get hurt."

Even some of the children had confronted her half-jokingly and half-rebelliously.

"I just want to rot here, what's it to you?"
