"Rest here for a while. I want to verify a possibility."

"possible?"

"It's none of your business. Keep your hat on and don't show your head." Li Mo pressed the curious Mei under him.

He himself hid in the dark under the cover of the woods and observed every move below.

Less than two hours later, a seventy-year-old woman, for some unknown reason, walked to the place where the body was buried. She inexplicably took a shovel and painstakingly dug up the land, and found the body inside.

Li Mo checked before leaving and found no obvious traces.

Moreover, the place where the bodies were buried was very secluded, the kind of place that ordinary people would not even look at.

It would be too much of a stretch to say it was a coincidence, so much of a stretch that...it was as if the world was deliberately targeting Li Mo.

Once the body is discovered by the relevant authorities, they will examine the blood and hair, retrieve the DNA, and even issue a wanted order. Li Mo will have a hard time in this world.

"She shouldn't report it. Even if a psychopath found the bodies, they weren't her relatives. Why would she bother going through all that trouble? Going to such lengths for nothing? Isn't she afraid the murderer will find her and take revenge?"

"The murderer dared to kill two adults, so why would he be afraid of a man in his seventies or eighties?"

Li Mo believed that the old woman had no reason to report the case. If she knew a little about profit analysis, she would not have gotten involved in such a mess.

But the reality was not so. At an age when she should have been enjoying her retirement and minding her own business, she chose to report the case decisively.

The old woman picked up the phone and started giving a long and rambling description.

Li Mo originally wanted to kill her to prevent future troubles, but his marksmanship was not very good, which could be seen when he was fighting with the bandits.

At this distance, no matter how good the gun is, Li Mo can't hit the target unless he is blessed by the ghost of doom.

It is possible to get closer and kill her, but the call has already been made. If the old woman dies at this time, the relevant personnel will be able to find this place. If they are caught then, the crime will be even more serious.

"Brother...what should we do? We have been discovered killing someone...will we be caught and executed..." Mei said worriedly.

Li Mo's eyes narrowed. What he wanted to verify might have been successfully verified...

This world is hostile to him as an outsider.

"I killed him, it has nothing to do with you."

"Mei said that she would not abandon her brother. He killed them to protect me. Even if we go to court, we are right! The other party also had a gun, so we were acting in self-defense!" Mei said confidently.

But Li Mo didn't think so. From the moment he was shot by someone, the world began to be a blatant murder.

The target of murder was Li Mo.

Just like what is happening now, no matter how deep or secretly he buries the body, it will eventually be discovered.

The old woman clearly shouldn't have meddled in other people's business, but she chose to call the police.

Li Mo could almost conclude that the court would never say that he was acting in self-defense.

The world is preventing him from discovering the truth...

"You are too naive. Things are definitely not as simple as you think. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you these things. You should go find your biological father, Lei Dian Long Ma first. Maybe he can help me." Li Mo said lightly.

When I turned around, I saw Mei had a horrified expression on her face.

"Brother, how did you know..."

"Don't worry about how I know. I will send you to a safe place. You will die if you stay with me." Li Mo's serious tone did not sound like a joke at all.

At present, he cannot judge the extent of the world's malice, but it is certain that it will grow bigger and bigger.

This is by no means a coincidence, coincidences of coincidences are inevitable.

It started out as an ordinary person with an old-fashioned gun, but now it's likely to be a fully equipped professional hunting down a murderer.

Li Mo didn't dare to imagine what kind of enemies he would face later. Before entering the old world, the notebook's prompt was:

【Those who have died will never come back.】

At that time, Li Mo thought this sentence was implying that he would die, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he misunderstood it.

The original meaning of this sentence is: It is impossible for the dead to return to the world before they died.

This world judges that I am dead, and the dead cannot enter?

Or is it related to the truth that you have been thinking about?

Or maybe both?

The hot weather quickly dried off the wet clothes. Li Mo and Yayi both wore hats and walked towards the city.

"Brother, I'm hungry..." Mei said softly, covering her flabby stomach.

"Follow me and keep your head down. Don't raise your head. Put on your hat. I'll buy you something to eat."

Li Mo didn't let Meiyi endure it. Two ordinary people really needed to eat and couldn't choose not to eat because of unknown risks.

Especially the injured Li Mo, he needs to replenish his energy and maintain a good mental state and physical strength.

Before entering the old world, Li Mo had already made all the preparations, including various currencies.

Unless the old world and the new world are completely different, the several major currencies prepared by Li Mo can be used.

Li Mo walked to a noodle shop. The large amount of currency and his attire would easily arouse suspicion, so he just took out a small-denomination bill to pay. It was still easy to buy two bowls of noodles.

Li Mo chose a not-so-conspicuous corner to sit down, and Meiyi sat opposite Li Mo.

The two of them covered their heads with the hoodies, and Mei lowered her head as much as possible to prevent the boss from seeing her face.

Although she didn't know what Li Mo's intention was, Meiyi trusted Li Mo unconditionally.

"Young man, are you bringing your girlfriend here to eat noodles so late at night?" the boss asked curiously.

He stared at Li Mo and Meiyi intently, always feeling uneasy.

Li Mo took off his hat and smiled harmlessly, "Yes, I eloped with her because I was afraid her family would find me."

Hearing this, Mei lowered her head even further, almost burying her face in the bowl.

The ears and neck were all painted in a bright crimson color.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is. It's great to be young." Seeing this, the boss laughed a few times, and the knots in his heart were relieved a lot.

I was originally wondering why they were wearing hats in such hot weather and acting so stealthy, but after hearing what Li Mo said, everything became clear.

The boss looked at Li Mo carefully. He was quite handsome and guessed that the person sitting opposite him was probably a rich girl.

From this perspective, although Li Mo is good-looking, his family background is not wealthy enough, and the girl's parents look down on him, so the two of them are preparing to leave this city and even the country with their meager savings.

The boss nodded repeatedly, thinking that his analysis made sense. After all, the currency Li Mo had used to pay was very new, as if he had just withdrawn it, and the amount was very small, which meant that he didn't have much savings.

The two of them ate very quickly, probably because they had been escaping for a whole day and were very hungry.

"Boss, can I borrow your phone? My phone is out of battery."

"Sure, just don't open the photo album and browser history."

Chapter 9 Judge Me? Are You Worthy of It?

The boss readily handed the phone to Li Mo. After thanking him, Li Mo quickly looked up the current era and some other useful information.

It's terrible. Li Mo doesn't know the specific time corresponding to various events in the collapsed world, but roughly estimated that the three law families have appeared this year.

If he removes Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, there's a high chance that the Herrscher of Fire and Fire and the Herrscher of Reason will become his enemies.

After getting the information he wanted, Li Mo quickly returned the phone without using it for too long.

"thank you boss."

"Haha, it's nothing. By the way, let me remind you that although you two look like a couple dressed like this, it's a little suspicious so late at night. If you hadn't taken off your hat when you talked to me, I would have called the police."

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, boss."

Li Mo knew that hiding things blindly would only make others suspicious, which was why he wanted to take off his hat.

No matter how malicious the world is towards him, it can't even change the basic rules, right?

There are traces of people's psychology, behavior and language.

"Boss, are you usually so vigilant? I don't mean anything else, I just think you're being too cautious, calling the police or something..."

"Hmm... I'm surprised you said that. I'm not usually the nosy type. Why would I call the police if I see someone acting suspiciously?"

"Maybe the night brings uneasiness to people, haha." Li Mo paved the way for his exit.

Mei's eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Li Mo, who was so humorous.

Isn't her brother the epitome of dark, cold, expressionless, cruel, and taciturn?!

After finishing his meal, Li Mo put on his hat again and left the restaurant without delay, holding Mei's hand.

After Li Mo and Meiyi left, the boss couldn't help but pick up his phone and clicked on an official news item: "Two bodies found in Nanshan Forest! The murderers are suspected to be a man and a woman! The police are currently searching for them!"

The boss looked at the details inside and murmured, "How strange! A body was found right after death? And this is the first time the murderer's DNA has been detected so quickly. Does the deceased have any background that made the authorities take it so seriously and act so quickly..."

"A man and a woman, can't it be... this is impossible? The boy is very kind, and the girl is very quiet."

Suddenly, the boss realized something and immediately made a phone call...

But Li Mo didn't know all this, or rather, it didn't matter to him whether he knew it or not.

As long as Mei's identity is not exposed, it will be fine, at least not until Raiden Ryoma is found.

I just checked the city I'm currently in, and it just so happens that Raiden Ryoma is there too. He's been released from prison and has re-established Me Company.

The address of the private residence could not be found, but the address of Me Agency could be easily found, and it was very close to here.

If he's lucky, Li Mo will be able to find Lei Dian Long Ma working overtime at Me Company tonight.

"You will be able to see your father soon." Li Mo put away the smile he had given to his boss before and looked calm.

"Well... Dad will definitely be able to help my brother!" The simple Mei said very firmly. In her opinion, Raiden Ryuma was very powerful and his social status in the Far East was one of the best. Although killing was wrong, Li Mo was acting in self-defense, and Raiden Ryuma would definitely be able to easily help Li Mo escape the wanted list of murderers.

Li Mo had a blank expression on his face and groaned.

He did not have high expectations for Raiden Ryuma. For Li Mo, it was enough for Raiden Ryuma to protect Mei. He had done his best not to become a threat to Li Mo.

Mei cannot die now, and Li Mo has to return to the new world and use Mei to conceal his identity.

Now, Li Mo just wanted to put Meiyi in a relatively safe place temporarily, just as he had said to Meiyi before.

If she stayed with him, she would surely die.

"I hope so." Li Mo replied nonchalantly.

Two people walked under the dim street lights, their thin shadows stretched very long by the weak light, until they were swallowed up by the endless silence and gloom in the darkness that could not be covered by the light.

In the imperceptible darkness, an eye hidden in the darkness was peeking at the backs of the two people.

The night was as dark as ink. Raiden Ryoma, who was working overtime, was startled by a knock on the door. His subordinates came up to him and told him that Raiden Mei was waiting for him downstairs.

So Lei Dian Longma turned off the computer, pushed away the pile of documents on the table, and immediately went to the first floor.

But while going downstairs, Lei Dian Long Ma suddenly called two mercenaries of presidential caliber. He didn't know why. He knew that his daughter didn't need to go to such great lengths, but the idea lingered in his mind, so he just called them as a matter of course.

Just to be safe.

Li Mo and Meiyi were waiting quietly downstairs. Meiyi was full of energy and spirit, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with excitement.

Li Mo could understand. After all, he had suffered such torture in the new world, and it was normal for him to cheer and rejoice when he finally saw his biological father in the old world.

So Meiyi actually came from the old world? Li Mo was unsure about this.

Soon, Raiden Ryoma came downstairs with fully armed bodyguards and saw Mei taking off her hat and Li Mo with a gloomy face.

"Dad!" Mei ran over with joy in her heart, jumping and skipping like a little deer.

"Long time no see, Meiyi. I thought you stayed at Saint Freya for too long and didn't want to go home."

Raiden Ryuma rarely showed a kind expression on his face.

"By the way, who is this...?"

"He... is my boyfriend! He took me home! Dad, we are in some trouble and he is injured now. Let's send him to a private hospital for treatment!" Mei said in one breath.

Thunder Dragon Horse looked at Li Mo seriously, "Are you injured? Show it to me."

Li Mo decisively refused: "Don't worry, President. It's just a minor injury. I can handle it myself."

But this excuse made the experienced Raiden Ryoma realize that something was wrong.

Lei Dian Long Ma said maliciously, "This afternoon, officials reported that two bodies were found in Nanshan Forest. There were signs of gunfire. I'm afraid your injuries were gunshot wounds."
