Chapter 36 Geng Chen?

A Yao chewed on the name.

She knew there was a defector, “serving Cao but with his heart in Han” (outwardly compliant but secretly disloyal), who had been constantly sending messages to the underworld for a while, and those messages would be fed back to the Yang Return Enforcement Team.

But she didn't know the person's name, partly due to secrecy, and partly due to the disdain of the enforcement team.

"Okay, Geng Chen, I'll remember you. After I kill you, I'll erect a monument for you."

Zhou Ze nodded, responding calmly, "Thank you. By the way, it's the 'chen' of time, don't write it wrong."

They were already a group of madmen, and after being confined and tortured for decades, they became even more insane, twisted, and thorough.

Twisted in their methods, ruthless to themselves and others; thorough in their attitude, willing to do anything to achieve their goal.

When A Yao charged at him again, Zhou Ze truly felt what real hysteria was.

It felt similar to when he activated his half-face personality.

A Yao was very fast, and blood was constantly dripping from the densely packed scars on her body. She herself was like a ferocious beast.

She had pushed her speed advantage to its limit.

But Zhou Ze had gained ample experience in how to restrain speed, due to his extended period of stroking the ferret.

Retreating when he should retreat, forcing when he should force, his ten fingers defended and attacked in turn, seeming to handle the situation with ease. Without the need to quickly kill, Zhou Ze felt like he was teasing a girl, relaxed and carefree.

Tie Hanhan was still sleeping, digesting the pig head meat and trotters he had eaten the day before yesterday, but waking him up when needed wasn't a problem. Plus, the half-face personality could be switched at any time.

With all his advantages available,

and his current physical condition being good,

Zhou Ze wasn't flustered.

When he told Lao Zhang that he wanted to give Lawyer An some game experience, wasn't he also wanting to give himself some experience?

His own skills and experience were his true wealth, and he had to cherish this opportunity to practice.

Besides, it wasn't easy for him to come out, so he might as well maximize the value of this trip.

A Yao became more and more frustrated as she attacked.

The person in front of her was just constantly defending, defending and defending again.

The sharpness of those ten fingernails made her extremely wary, and the black mist emanating from the fingernails also gave her a headache. When she finally managed to break through these defenses and attack him,

he was a zombie!

How could she fight this?

But she still didn't give up attacking; she was buying time for her companions. Once her companions had dealt with the other two, the three of them could work together to deal with this most troublesome opponent!

Zhou Ze didn't see through her plan, but it didn't really matter whether he did or not. Lao An was raring to go, wanting to take revenge on the enforcement team and vent the anger in his heart.

As for Lao Zhang,

he could use some more training,

maybe he'd become more enduring.

Yes,

Lao Zhang was being trained.

He was facing A Feng.

A Feng was very strong, and every punch he threw carried the sound of air being torn.

Although the enforcement team was just remnants, one could still see their foundation and former glory. Taking their small team as an example, the three members' roles didn't overlap at all, and they could complement each other in a team fight.

The underworld officials sent by King Song's city seemed a bit silly and unprofessional; otherwise, they wouldn't have been wiped out by the little boy who took them all down by himself.

Lao Zhang was knocked flying every time,

but a white light would flash each time,

offsetting most of the damage.

Even so,

Lao Zhang was beaten black and blue, not missing any arms or legs, but still looking quite miserable and disheveled.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang was stubborn and single-minded.

Regardless of what professions the three female victims had, from Lao Zhang's point of view, they didn't deserve to die!

The way these people completely disregarded human life also made Lao Zhang furious. If they were allowed to stay in Tong City, ordinary people would likely suffer tomorrow.

Because of this thought, Lao Zhang could always get up after being knocked flying and continue to use the capture techniques from the criminal police team to deal with A Feng.

But the effect was very poor.

Lao Zhang used to think he was a good fighter, and subduing criminals was a breeze,

but in front of a member of the enforcement team who specialized in killing, Lao Zhang was still too inexperienced.

Whether in terms of experience, or even age, the other party had an absolute advantage.

Lao Zhang's only advantage, as Lawyer An had joked before,

was that he could take a beating!

Zhou Ze was having a heated battle with A Yao,

Lao Zhang was being beaten up enthusiastically,

and on the other hand, the duel between Lawyer An and A Peng

seemed a bit boring.

So boring that if this were a TV series, viewers might be tempted to change the channel when the scene cut to them.

The two of them were standing far apart,

neither moving,

like they were playing cross-eyed with a wide expanse of air between them,

without even a five-cent special effect.

However, this hidden confrontation was truly turbulent.

Unlike Zhou Ze's ease and Lao Zhang's resilience, these two didn't face any life-threatening dangers, at least not for now.

But on Lawyer An's side,

the slightest carelessness could lead to the complete sinking of the soul, ending in senility.

Very exciting, extremely exciting. But since he was avenging his woman, he couldn't just stand by and shout "666" to the boss, nor could he safely hide in the back and take potshots. He had to step forward, feel the wind and rain, and experience the thrill of being struck by lightning at any moment.

The confrontation

continued for ten minutes.

A Peng suddenly shouted,

"An Buqi!"

He recognized him!

Yes, Zhou Ze knew that Lawyer An, at his peak, must have been doing really well in the underworld. That "Golden Inspector" title probably wasn't just bragging.

When Zhou Ze was selected to participate in a trial by a judge, Cuihua'er, a maid under Feng Si'er, dared to point and curse at the inspectors leading the team just because they had stepped on the vegetables she had planted. This was enough to show Feng Si'er's current status in the inspector circle.

And Lawyer An, Feng Si'er's former boss,

could only have been even more glorious!

The two of them were standing far apart,

but in the spiritual world,

they were standing on the peaks of two mountains, with a sea of clouds between them.

The reason for this illusionary scene was simple:

after Lawyer An set up this scene for himself,

A Peng refused to be outdone and set up the same scene for himself.

In fact, this illusion was useless besides looking impressive; it was purely to make themselves look more advanced and powerful.

Lawyer An was wearing a purple official robe, with long sleeves fluttering, giving off a sense of detachment. Especially with his hawk-like eyes set off by the robe, he looked even more delicate.

A Peng was wearing a black robe, with a silver mask on his face. Under the mask were cold eyes.

In the sea of clouds in front of them,

illusions constantly appeared and shattered. The battle and competition between the two had never stopped from the beginning.

"I looked for you after I came out, only to find out that you were in trouble. You have a lot of guts, daring to get involved in such a big event. It's a pity that I was still being confined at that time, and those incompetent underworld officials actually let you escape from hell!"

"I wasn't around, didn't you still have Feng Si'er? Why didn't you go chat with Feng Si'er?"

A Peng fell silent.

"Look at you, after so many years, you still haven't changed." Lawyer An continued to mock.

The two had known each other for a long time. They had even worked in the same small government office in the underworld when they were constables. Later, they both became inspectors. Because they both took the spiritual system and illusion route, they often sparred together.

The essence of this sparring was to see who could accidentally turn the other into an idiot.

It was just that their levels were similar at the time, so it had always been a draw. But the only advantage Lawyer An had was that he had once broken through the other's defenses and read the secret hidden in the depths of his heart.

Before A Peng died, he had sold his wife into a brothel to pay off gambling debts.

Just look at how Lao Zhang and Geng Chen, these upright people, hated Lawyer An to see that Lawyer An was never a law-abiding person.

After obtaining this memory,

Lawyer An didn't publicize it.

Instead, he secretly mentioned it to the judge in charge of their department as a conversation starter.

This judge was from the mid-Qing Dynasty. His wife had endured countless hardships to support his imperial examinations, taking care of his parents and children while working to support his studies.

When he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as an official, he encountered bandits on the road. His wife wore his clothes to distract the pursuers in order to save him. Later, in order to protect her reputation and not fall into the hands of the bandits, his wife jumped off a cliff and committed suicide.

This matter later alarmed the court, and the emperor issued an decree posthumously honoring his wife, which was a sensation at the time.

Since then, even after dying and becoming an official in the underworld, this judge had always been a model "wife protector."

After Lawyer An accidentally let it slip,

A Peng was suppressed and ostracized by his superiors. In the end, he was demoted and forced to go to the enforcement team. The enforcement team seemed glamorous, but it was equivalent to cutting off his career!

"An Buqi, I still remember the look on your face when I told you that the woman had been executed, like your mother had died. I've been savoring it all these years."

Lawyer An took a deep breath

and smiled,

"Along the way, I kept telling myself not to be angry, because anger can make people lose their composure, but I found that I still can't do it."

"Heh, you've been stripped of your origin text. Now, besides your old profession, how much is left?

And even with your old profession, do you think you can win against me?"

Lawyer An shook his head

and said,

"What if I add this?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

a huge white fox phantom appeared behind Lawyer An.

The fox demon clan was the most skilled in illusions!

Lawyer An smacked his lips,

snapped his fingers,

pointed at A Peng in front,

and said,

"Turn him into a senile old man for me!"
