Knocking sounded abruptly,

like a club hammering down, leaving no time to prepare.

Lawyer An spun around, his eyes narrowed.

Geng Chen, however, appeared relaxed. He rose and walked to the door, opening it casually.

"Your takeout order."

The delivery guy handed over the bag.

"Thanks."

Geng Chen thanked him and closed the door.

He was currently using a body modified from a plastic mannequin, but because it was covered in clothes, it was hard to tell without a close look, and it was enough to pass for the real thing.

"You ordered takeout?" Lawyer An looked surprised.

I'm trying to escape, and you're ordering takeout…

"I have to eat something. Even though this body is that of an infant, it still consumes a lot of energy."

"What did you order?"

"KFC."

"I prefer McDonald's."

"Should I order another one?"

"Forget it, let's eat on the move, hurry up."

With that, Lawyer An took a Coke from his pocket and reached into his pants pocket for his car keys.

Who knew the Coke would suddenly overflow in his hand?

The black liquid, as if possessing some special life, frantically began to pounce on Lawyer An, and then began to tear and chew.

Even the ghouls in ancient tombs weren't this ferocious.

"Ah!!!!!"

Lawyer An screamed and writhed on the ground in agony.

The fries in the plastic bag in Geng Chen's hand all transformed into terrifying tentacles at this moment, directly binding him. The oil secreted from the fries carried terrifying corrosiveness, instantly riddled his mannequin body with holes.

Just as the two were being attacked,

two black shadows suddenly seeped in from under the door and reformed into human shapes.

"Is this the one who killed A Yao and the others?" one shadow said.

There was a hint of disdain and doubt in his words.

"Maybe A Yao and the others have become complacent after being cooped up for so long."

"Perhaps. Seal off the surroundings, don't let their souls escape. After we completely eliminate them, we still have to continue looking for the trai…"

"Something's wrong with this house!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly,

Buddhist script appeared on the walls of the empty house,

and then,

a golden line spread out from the script,

instantly turning into a prairie fire,

and the terrifying karma fire exploded!

"Boom!"

………………

"Ahhh, it hurts, ahhhh!"

"Slap!"

Lawyer An tore off the talisman from his forehead. He rubbed his arms, and after getting up, his body twisted, showing a lot of discomfort.

Plus, his voice was a bit hoarse.

Opposite Lawyer An, the baby also took off the talisman on his forehead and looked at Lawyer An with a somewhat indifferent expression:

"It's the Enforcement Team."

Obviously, he was asking Lawyer An why the Enforcement Team would attack him.

"In the eyes of those lunatics, what difference does it make whether you're serving Cao Cao while your heart is with Han?" (an idiom referring to outwardly complying but inwardly disloyal)

Geng Chen frowned slightly, because he thought Lawyer An's words made sense, but they were somewhat far-fetched.

"I have to explain it to them."

Geng Chen's body floated up. He could keep his body floating to about the height of an adult's head, but any higher than that would be a struggle.

In fact,

the location of the karma fire explosion was in the room above them.

However, due to the special nature of karma fire, its existence was only "purification," not mere physical burning, so although there was noise, it would not cause any real damage to the house or the surrounding environment.

Earlier,

the "Lawyer An" and "Geng Chen" in the upstairs room were just puppets created to be used as bait.

"Hey, I say, how was our acting just now? Wasn't it very immersive?"

Lawyer An asked as he went upstairs with Geng Chen.

Earlier, the two were downstairs, with talismans on their foreheads, controlling the puppets' speech and actions, but in reality, it was really like performing in a play.

Geng Chen didn't speak. Obviously, he wasn't in a good mood.

In his opinion, the Enforcement Team should be on his side. Although he had lost the part of the Haotun (mythical beast) origin within him, he could still contact his former "old friends" through other means, and then send this information to the Yin Si (netherworld government), and the Yin Si would then forward it to the Enforcement Team to carry out the capture operation.

Therefore, he didn't want to have a direct conflict with the Enforcement Team.

"Don't sulk."

Lawyer An, on the other hand, looked somewhat relaxed in the back. In fact, it was more like a feeling of not giving a damn anymore. I'm already in danger, so what, am I just going to offer my neck to be slaughtered?

It's a profit if I can bite you!

Opening the door,

the air in the room was particularly fresh,

so much so that it could be described as "refreshing."

Lawyer An even thought that if it were possible, gathering a large amount of manpower and resources to make the karma fire formation even bigger might directly solve the city's PM2.5 problem.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking. If that were to happen, the whole city would be left as a clean and empty city, and a quiet one at that.

In the center of the living room,

Lawyer An saw his puppet body, which had been almost completely corroded, with only the lower half of the limbs remaining.

Geng Chen's previous mannequin body had been completely shattered.

Then, in the corner of the living room, a man was lying on the ground in extreme pain. Next to him was a human-shaped gray mark,

resembling the Chinese character "太" (tai).

Obviously, one had already been eliminated, and the other was so lucky that the karma fire didn't kill him.

However, although he wasn't killed, his condition was still quite terrible at this moment.

His entire body was covered with dense white pustules, constantly rupturing and splashing pus, and constantly swelling up again.

At the same time, black smoke was constantly drifting from his forehead, which was a sign that his soul was also being diminished.

Seeing this scene, Geng Chen felt a little helpless. He closed his eyes, then opened them, and his body floated in front of the man.

"Cough... I... you... cough..."

The man was unable to speak.

"I'll find a way to save you. I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. I thought there would be some understanding between us, but..."

"Pfft!"

A skeletal hand directly pierced the man's neck,

and then stirred,

shattering the vitality of the flesh along with the soul!

Geng Chen's eyes widened in anger,

and he raised his head,

looking at Lawyer An,

roaring:

"What are you doing!"

"Giving him a quick death, to save him from suffering."

"An Buqi, what exactly is going on? You must be hiding something..."

"I can sit down now, and like acting just now, go through the previous lines again, and then wait for the second batch of Enforcement Team to arrive."

"You..."

"Either get killed now, or get out of here quickly. You're a defector, isn't it normal for them to want to kill you?

Then lead them to those defectors, use yourself as bait, maybe you can solve some problems."

"Are you treating me like an idiot!"

"What's it to ya?"

Lawyer An's eyebrows twitched,

and continued in a villainous posture:

"We let you go, and I even came with you. Our bookstore has done what we promised. What, do you want to go back on your word and violate the agreement?"

"I..."

"Let me tell you, the reason we didn't kill you is because my boss is soft-hearted. Lao Geng, you're not that shameless, are you?"

After speaking,

Lawyer An directly hugged the baby,

and quickly ran downstairs.

He didn't go to the car, but directly jumped over the wall and out of the residential area.

However, Lawyer An's footsteps stopped immediately. He sensed several netherworld auras rapidly moving towards here. So many people?

No,

the Enforcement Team wouldn't blatantly leak their aura!

"Hey, where in Yangzhou is that defector you mentioned?"

"I know what you want to do, but don't think about taking advantage of the chaos. I really have sent the message out. Either they've been dealt with or they're under surveillance."

"I'm saying, why is it so tiring to communicate with you?"

"What exactly did you guys do before?"

"The problem now is that you just killed two members of the Enforcement Team, and we're being hunted!"

"You killed them, I didn't."

"Haha, did you get water in your brain? That Tide brand (汰渍, sounds like "tai zi") who couldn't even leave a last word,

I killed him?

The second one was also me just helping him end his suffering. You killed both of them, you killed them!"

Lawyer An almost shouted. This scapegoat was firmly pinned on, and he wouldn't have to feel guilty later!

"I have a way to leave, even if the Enforcement Team is tracking us, unless they send an Elite squad this time."

"Fuck your grandpa, can you not jinx it at this time? I'm willing to bet they're definitely coming! You're just too unlucky!"

"Two paths, I'll give you a choice."

"Hurry up, I sense several cute little things that aren't from the Enforcement Team are coming here."

"One path, return to Tongcheng."

"Back to the bookstore?"

"It should be the safest place, for you, the safest."

Lawyer An nodded in agreement, and said, "Yeah, do you believe that if I hold you back to the bookstore, before the Enforcement Team comes to kill me, my boss will be the first to jump out and chop me?"

"The second path, charge out."

"Why are both dead ends?"

Lawyer An wasn't aware that his boss and his Little Fourth were also in Yangzhou,

and the thought of facing a pack of Enforcement Team mad dogs made him feel hopeless about life.

"An Buqi, are you this cowardly?"

"The past is the past, the present is the present, I've been deprived of my source text (出身文字), do you think it's still like it was back then..."

"Puke!"

The baby in his arms suddenly vomited,

and then,

a purple scroll fell from his mouth.

Lawyer An's eyes widened instantly,

and his breathing accelerated sharply!

"Now, you have it."
