Chapter 476: The Response of the Scavenger Organization (5K chapter, please subscribe and vote)
A series of news headlines appeared on Lin Yi's mobile phone screen. These headlines were all relevant information that appeared after he searched for Room 22 on the 2258nd floor of Sanhe Building.
Room 22, 2258nd floor, Sanhe Building is a martial arts gym opened by a man named Ma Wei.
This martial arts gym has not attracted much attention in the past, but it has unexpectedly become popular recently.
The reason is simple. The owner of the hall, Ma Wei, publicly declared that he has grasped the essence of qigong and become a master of his generation.
As soon as this news came out, many internet celebrities immediately came to verify it, intending to debunk this statement.
Surprisingly, these anti-counterfeiting agents discovered that the qigong demonstrated by Ma Wei did not seem to be false.
A video widely circulated on the Internet shows that Ma Wei easily broke a metal wrench with just a slap.
Such amazing power is obviously far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Contractor?"
Su Xiao had already made a definition after taking a look at Ma Wei's video.
"I guess so, and he is most likely a new contractor. It is strange that Samsara Paradise did not execute him in this situation."
When Lin Yi saw the news about Ma Wei, he had some guesses in his mind.
This guy Ma Wei was obviously skirting the rules. Apart from showing off his physical fitness, he did not reveal the abilities he gained in the Reincarnation Paradise to outsiders.
During the cancer treatment process, Ma Wei also required the patient to wear an eye patch.
His explanation for this practice is that the energy fluctuations when practicing qigong are large and may have adverse effects on the eyes.
In Lin Yi's opinion, this was more like a cover-up.
"Your mission objective is very clear. I guess I have to go abroad." Su Xiao sighed. He was obviously not very happy about the upcoming long journey, but the mission to the Samsara Paradise had been issued, and he had to complete it even if he was reluctant.
"What equipment do you need?"
"What's there?"
When Lin Yi heard the word "equipment", he immediately became excited.
Lin Yi knew that Su Xiao had a wide variety of weapons. If possible, Lin Yi planned to bring a few more high-explosive grenades and directly wipe out Ma Wei's lair.
"Follow me." Su Xiao said, standing up and walking towards the utility room.
He took out two sledgehammers from the utility room, handed one to Lin Yi, and then the two of them walked towards the basement together.
The door to the basement was not locked. Su Xiao pushed it open easily, walked down the stairs, and turned on the light.
A faint musty smell wafted into the air, and it was obvious that this place had not been cleaned for a long time.
This basement was Su Xiao's secret warehouse when he was a killer. It contained weapons, trophies and some contraband that he had used.
Su Xiao and Lin Yi began to clean up the debris in the center of the basement, preparing for the next action.
Su Xiao took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles. After marking the locations that needed to be destroyed for Lin Yi, he swung the sledgehammer in his hand.
Boom! There was a loud noise, and cement debris flew everywhere.
The sudden noise scared Fatty Ma in the wreath and funeral clothing shop next door.
He was making love with his lover and was frightened by the sound, and then he lost interest in an instant.
"It's...it's over." Fatty Ma said with a bitter face.
His lover, wearing heavy makeup, grabbed his ear with a look of dissatisfaction.
This young woman in her thirties was obviously not satisfied. As the saying goes, "A man in his thirties is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and fifty can even suck dirt while sitting on the ground." How could this young woman, who is in her prime, let Fatty Ma go easily?
"Mistake, mistake, that's all for today, you go back first."
"伱......"
The young woman was just beginning to feel angry when she realized that Fatty Ma was not joking and that there was something serious.
"Well, if you're so useless next time, I won't serve you anymore."
The young woman got dressed and left, and soon the roar of an engine was heard outside.
Thump, thump, thump... The continuous hammering sound came from next door, and every sound seemed to hit Fatty Ma's heart. He grinned helplessly.
Not only Fatty Ma, but Haidong in the bakery nearby also noticed the movement.
Haidong’s first reaction was, Su Xiao’s enemies came to his door?
He knew that Su Xiao had gone out with Lin Yi recently, so he immediately picked up his weapon and rushed to Su Xiao's jewelry store, fearing that someone would cause damage to the store.
When he arrived at the door of the jewelry store, he found Fatty Ma also walking towards him cautiously with a crossbow.
Haidong gestured to Fatty Ma, asking him to be careful and not make any noise.
Click!
At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from under Fatty Ma's feet.
"what."
"do not move!"
A loud shout was heard from Haidong, and then Su Xiao rushed out of the basement in a few quick steps.
"What... happened?" Fatty Ma looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. Out of trust in Haidong, he stood still obediently and did not act rashly.
"It's okay, you just stepped on an anti-personnel mine, but don't worry, it's just an old-fashioned loose-type mine." Su Xiao squatted down, carefully checked the mine under Fatty Ma's feet, and then comforted him.
Although Su Xiao said it lightly, Fatty Ma's legs began to tremble unconsciously.
He was extremely panicked, as if ten thousand alpacas were running wildly through his heart.
"Fuck...fuck...what the hell!" Fatty Ma was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly.
He wondered if he was watching a movie. Who would plant landmines in their backyard? Wasn't this something that only happened during wartime?
Ten minutes later, in the jewelry store, Fatty Ma was leaning back on the sofa, a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if he had not yet recovered from the thrill of just now.
The fuse of this landmine has been removed by Su Xiao and the danger has been eliminated.
Su Xiao did not lay more dangerous trigger mines in the backyard. The purpose of laying the mines was not to kill the enemy, but as a means of warning.
Even if the mine that Fatty Ma stepped on really exploded, its lethality would be limited. At most, it would only cause Fatty Ma to fall and suffer minor injuries, but would not cause more serious consequences.
"I say, you are too aggressive. You planted mines in the backyard. Wasn't your previous job a killer? Why do I feel like you are more like a spy?" Fatty Ma took a puff of cigarette with a shiver, trying to calm his inner fear.
He had no idea of the actual power of the mine, but he instinctively thought that it would blow him to pieces, just like in the movies.
Su Xiao came out of the basement carrying a black travel bag. After hearing what Fatty Ma said, he explained, "The BKT-35 warning loose-action mine is at most a war toy. It is made of plastic and invented by one of my colleagues. Its explosion sound and effect are similar, but the power is not great. You can understand it this way. At most, you stepped on a firecracker with a 15-second delay. At most, it blew you up. There is no need to be so scared."
"That's easy to say, I almost peed myself at that time." Fatty Ma rolled his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Su Xiao's understatement.
He took a deep puff of cigarette, trying to exhale the fear in his heart along with the smoke.
Lidya Su looked at Fatty Ma's reaction, chuckled, and said nothing more.
"What happened? Didn't you retire from the underworld?" Haidong looked at the things Lin Yi took out from the basement and his expression began to get nervous.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just some personal matter of mine. It has nothing to do with the underworld." Su Xiao saw Haidong's look and guessed that the other party must have been wrong.
Haidong was obviously relieved to hear that Su Xiao was not planning to go back to his old job.
He didn't want Su Xiao, who had finally stepped out of the quagmire, to go into the abyss of being a killer again. You know, the average age of the killer industry is only 28 years old. Why is the average age so low? It's simple, because they die quickly enough.
In the assassin's line of work, someone is bound to lose his life every time he goes on a mission, either by taking someone's life or by being killed.
Once caught, there is often only one way out: death.
In China, you might be handed over to the police and have a chance to go to jail, but abroad, there is usually only one outcome, and that is death.
When it comes to retirement, for most killers, it is simply an unattainable dream.
Only self-employed people like Su Xiao and Haidong can talk about retirement.
Those killers who join the organization are firmly bound to the organization for their entire lives. The organization's orders are above everything else. They have no choice, no freedom, and no room for resistance.
"Well, is there anything I can do to help?" Haidong looked at Lin Yi and Su Xiao choosing weapons, and came forward to ask.
Although he knew that these two people were very strong in combat, there were some things that were more convenient for other people to do.
Su Xiao glanced at Haidong, thought for a moment and then said, "Forget about my side. I think I'll have to go abroad. Haiqing will have his final exam soon. Why don't you follow Lin Yi? He's going to Shanghai soon. It'll be quicker to fly back and forth in one day."
Su Xiao decided not to take Haidong to the Golden Triangle area because the situation there was too chaotic.
He hopes Haidong can stay in the country, which will also reduce some unnecessary risks.
Not to mention the drug dealers in the Golden Triangle, even the ordinary people there are not easy to mess with. Walking on the streets of the Golden Triangle, you might accidentally step on someone's foot and it could trigger a violent reaction from the other party, or even result in your death.
This extreme environment has created a special survival rule for the local people: protect themselves at all costs.
Su Xiao's current physical condition has been limited, so he can only protect himself now. If he brings Haidong over, he will be hesitant.
"Okay, then Lin Yi, do you need any help?" Haidong nodded and accepted Su Xiao's arrangement very readily. He did not insist on going abroad with him.
The people present were all male chauvinists and would not get entangled in fuss over trivial matters.
"Please help me check the information of this man named Ma Wei and see if he has any other protective umbrellas."
Lin Yi was stuffing grenades into his backpack at this time. At the same time, a very small handheld computer appeared in his hand. This was a personal terminal unique to the martial arts world. It was powerful and could query a lot of internal information.
Lin Yi looked at the posts about Ma Wei on the same terminal and found that many masters in the martial arts world had visited Ma Wei and spoke highly of his martial arts.
The post said that Ma Wei's external skills had been trained to the highest level, and he could even press hand seals on stone slabs with his bare hands. This ability was beyond the reach of even several current grand masters.
There is no way. The real world is too suppressive to the extraordinary.
In the martial arts world where Lin Yi lives, although the warriors practice hard, in fact their strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
Aside from having more experience in combat, in daily life, members of the martial arts community aren't that different from regular people.
Under this post, Lin Yi saw many grand masters he had visited came forward to clarify and confirm that the content of the post was true.
Looking at these grand masters in their seventies and eighties, each of them seemed to see hope for the martial arts world, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Although the martial arts community has a certain influence in the country, only those in the martial arts community can truly understand the bitterness and oppression involved.
Now that Ma Wei, a guy who can hold up the facade, has appeared, these martial arts masters are of course extremely excited.
This is the power of the Samsara Paradise. One world of progress may create an unimaginable gap between you and ordinary people.
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Haidong nodded and took out a satellite phone.
Haidong is a killer and Lin Yi is a martial artist. The information channels of the two parties basically have no intersection, so Lin Yi asked Haidong to investigate Ma Wei's information as well.
Haidong acted quickly. After only a dozen minutes, detailed information about Ma Wei appeared on Lin Yi's desk.
"It's a bit troublesome. This Ma Wei seems to have healed a top power in the country recently."
After Haidong finished reading Ma Wei's information, his expression became a little solemn.
"What is that? Let me see."
Lin Yi took the information about Ma Wei from Haidong. As he read more, an indescribable expression appeared on Lin Yi's face.
Ma Wei’s experience is so outrageous that he seems like the protagonist from one of those urban novels published in the past few years.
The information shows that Ma Wei was originally a member of a large family, but his family was unfortunately destroyed. After that, he became a disciple of a martial artist and began to live in hiding.
Recently, Ma Wei has suddenly emerged and demonstrated amazing healing skills.
He then went on to heal the daughters of several important figures and developed ambiguous relationships with them.
This kind of plot reminded Lin Yi of those online novels about miracle doctors, in which the hero won the hearts of many beautiful women with his miraculous medical skills and charm.
Ma Wei also took this opportunity to come into contact with the upper class. This leapfrog development is even more exaggerated than the plot in the online novel.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then decided to find out more about the situation.
He pulled his smartphone from his pocket and quickly searched through his phone book until he found a contact labeled "Crocodile."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"
After the call was connected, the crocodile's voice came out.
"Do you know the situation on Ma Wei's side?" Lin Yi asked.
"Are you talking about the new contractor? I heard that the higher-ups are quite dissatisfied with him and originally planned to let us persuade him, but it seems someone in the higher-ups issued an instruction prohibiting us from taking any action against Ma Wei. Therefore, Ma Wei still doesn't know of our existence."
After hearing this, Lin Yi already had an idea in his mind.
