Newspaper Boy

Chapter 51: Strange Assailant

Listening to Yuanshi Tianzun's solemn tone, Guan Ya and Wei Yuanzhou simultaneously looked at Baihu Wansui. "Illegal and disorderly things…" Baihu Wansui's face immediately showed some embarrassment, and he stuttered, "Why are you suddenly asking this? I, well, I sometimes use my position to make some side money, you know, the organization's little bit of money, although it's not little, but to buy an apartment in Jinghai City, I have to save for at least five years to pay the down payment." But I just earn a little extra money, only a few hundred thousand, I know the limits, besides, everyone does this…"

Wei Yuanzhou coughed beside him, displeased.

"That's you, I've never made any side money. Don't blame your mistakes on the environment and society. As long as you guard your original intention, no matter how much filth can't erode your will."

Baihu Wansui immediately felt a little ashamed.

"Brother Wei, I certainly can't compare with you. You are famous for being upright in our branch, but look, if you don't go along with everyone, you'll be ostracized. You're still not a deacon." Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Guan Ya, who nodded slightly.

It definitely wouldn't be something like making side money, but when mentioning illegal and disorderly things, Baihu Wansui only said he was making quick money, and his body was weak, his mental state was terrible. If he was lying, he definitely couldn't hide it from Guan Ya… Zhang Yuanqing's brows gradually furrowed. Guan Ya said,

"You rest well. We will be watching in the hospital these few days. If the assassin who attacked you dares to come, we will take him down for you."

After saying that, she saw Zhang Yuanqing, hunched over, silently walking out of the ward. "Where are you going!" Guan Ya asked. "I'm going to the bathroom!" Zhang Yuanqing replied.

Going to the bathroom to flush my descendants down the toilet, damn it, I must find a way to get a prop to suppress my desires in the future… Zhang Yuanqing cursed in his heart. ~ ~ 10:00 pm, W痕 Hotel.

Two electric bikes drove over the potholed road, turned a corner, and drove towards the hotel, finally stopping at the entrance.

Kou Beiyue, wearing a delivery uniform, opened the delivery box, took out a large stack of food boxes, and led his little brother, heading straight into the hotel with his head held high.

"Xiao Yuan, I brought you supper. Sigh, two people are delivering food, it's so fast to make money!" Kou Beiyue put the food on the front desk, beaming with pride. The chubby boy took off his helmet, diligently unfastening the packages, and expressed his doubts.

"Two people delivering food certainly make more money than one person, but boss, there are many ways to make money, why are we delivering food?" Kou Beiyue said matter-of-factly, "Because we don't know how to do anything else."

The chubby boy opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. He could only silently untie the bags and put the food boxes out one by one.

After a few seconds, he expressed his doubts again.

"That's not right. It's not easy to make money? Boss, you are a Saint now. You can sell the props from the Extraordinary stage and become a millionaire."

Before Kou Beiyue could answer, Xiao Yuan said faintly,

"Props from the Extraordinary stage, if we don't use them anymore, we will donate them to the Extraordinary The Way of the Extraordinary in the organization to improve their ability to deal with danger and ensure their survival rate."

The chubby boy suddenly understood.

He knew that Master Wuhen had a loose organization. Usually they were scattered everywhere, but when the master gave lectures, everyone would gather at Wuhen Hotel. At this time, the sound of an elevator ding came from the depths of the hotel. Immediately afterwards, an old man with a bitter face and wrinkles all over his face came out of the hotel.

He was wearing a pair of wrinkled old leather shoes, a cheap short sleeve that cost ten yuan, and equally cheap black trousers. The old man's skin was dark and shiny, covered with wrinkles, like an old farmer working hard in the fields, or a short-term worker working hard on a construction site. It was easy to see the vicissitudes of life on his face. Uncle Zhang.

Kou Beiyue showed a look of surprise when he saw the old man, and said, "Why are you here? I just bought supper, eat together."

The old man with a bitter face shook his head slightly, "I'm looking for Master Wuhen to solve my doubts. I have something to do, so I won't eat." After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Kou Beiyue and asked, "Xiao Yuan said that your sister's case is closed?" Kou Beiyue nodded vigorously:

"I have no obsession anymore. I will concentrate on practicing with Master Wuhen. By the way, Yuanshi Tianzun helped me overturn the case. Uncle Zhang, do you know him?"

"That kid is a talent. I have to admit that he is a little stronger than me. He is very friendly to people like us. I'll introduce you to him someday."

Hearing this, a sincere smile finally appeared on that weathered face: "That's good, that's good. Beiyue, you are lucky…"

He seemed to be not good at words, repeating words like lucky and that's good over and over again, and then the scene cooled down, and he looked at the chubby boy with some embarrassment and awkwardness. Kou Beiyue quickly introduced:

"He is our new member, Liang Chen Chooses a Master to Kill, is my little brother… Uncle Zhang is a senior member of our organization and has a very good personality."

It could be seen that Kou Beiyue liked this kind and gentle elder very much.

An honest farmer, a bit dull, a bit dumb, not good at words, not good at socializing. This was the chubby boy's first impression of Uncle Zhang. He bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Zhang!" A trace of helplessness flashed across the old man's slightly dull face. Kou Beiyue said,

"Uncle Zhang, Xiao Yuan said that you were injured by the officials a while ago. Who did it? Is it serious? I am a Saint now. I can take my little brother to avenge you."

Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "It's not a big deal, Beiyue, Xiao Yuan, I'll go back first." He also nodded to the chubby boy. Kou Beiyue said, "Take care." After Uncle Zhang walked out of the hotel, Kou Beiyue said to the chubby boy,

"Uncle Zhang's age can actually be my grandpa, but everyone calls him Uncle Zhang, so I call him that too. Just follow me."

"He has a bit of a stuffy personality, but he has a good heart and is very willing to help the younger generation. If you need any help in the future, you can ask Uncle Zhang for help, but Uncle Zhang doesn't come to Wuhen Hotel very often, so you usually don't see him. Alas, I didn't buy much supper. It's good that Uncle Zhang left, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to eat."

"Freelancer with a good heart." If someone else said this, the chubby boy would scoff at it, but after these few days of understanding, he knew that this was a self-salvation organization.

Xiao Yuan pinched the old man's departing back, her brows slightly furrowed. Jinghai City People's Hospital.

In the lounge outside the special care ward, Zhang Yuanqing sat on a high-backed chair, with a just-finished meal box and canned beer on the table.

"Captain Wei, how long have you been promoted to Saint? Why haven't you been promoted to deacon yet?" Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of iced cola, looking at the man opposite him.

The entire floor of the special care ward had been cleared. Ordinary patients had been transferred to other wards. Official The Way of the Extraordinary were stationed in the corridors and at the elevator entrances.

Guan Ya, who had the ability to observe, took over the hospital's monitoring room, while Xiao Lücha was in the next ward, using props to monitor the surrounding movements.

They were just waiting for the assassin to arrive, and everyone would attack him together.

Wei Yuanzhou spun a can of beer in his hand and smiled, "To be promoted to deacon, you have to make at least three C-level merits, or one B-level. Everyone says that a B-level merit is exchanged for life, and only elders can obtain an A-level merit. You are a genius and don't understand the hardships of ordinary The Way of the Extraordinary."

"No, no, no, my merits are also exchanged for life." Zhang Yuanqing retorted, sighing, "I thought you were like Baihu Wansui said, not going along with the crowd, so you were ostracized."

Wei Yuanzhou said sternly,

"Maintaining one's position is the bottom line. I am indeed not very gregarious, but it's not to the point of being ostracized. As long as you focus on your work, the organization will always notice you, it just takes time."

"I was superficial. I'll punish myself with a cup." Zhang Yuanqing raised his canned cola.

He admired this gentle and caring Plague God very much, and was thinking about whether to poach him to Songhai. Although his merits were not enough, he couldn't be a deacon in Songhai, but he could recommend him to Fu Qingyang and let Wei Yuanzhou serve as the patrol captain.

Because the patrol team chased after wanted criminals, it was more suitable for accumulating merits. When Wei Yuanzhou accumulated enough merits in the future, he could return to Jinghai City to serve as a deacon. It was still very difficult to serve as a deacon in Songhai. As a municipality directly under the central government, deacons were usually level 5 or 6 Saints. There were not many level 4.

Wei Yuanzhou smiled and raised his beer can, taking a sip. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Captain Wei, have you considered…"

Suddenly, Xie Lingxi's urgent voice came from the earpiece,

"Brother Yuanshi, I heard the patrolling colleagues in the corridor fall to the ground. There was a brief exchange of blows. Their heartbeats are still there. They are not dead, but just unconscious."

The attacker really came! When did he sneak into the hospital? Why didn't Guan Ya give a warning? There were no monitors in the corridor. He chose to clear out the enemies in the corridor first… Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stood up.

Wei Yuanzhou, across the table, also put down his beer can, his face solemn. He was also wearing an earpiece and had heard what Xie Lingxi said. Zhang Yuanqing pressed his earpiece and said,

"Did you hear the attacker's footsteps? In which direction?"

Xie Lingxi's cry came, "He's coming, coming to our floor… um~" The sound in the earpiece stopped abruptly, replaced by Xiao Lücha's delicate moans.

The next second, Zhang Yuanqing and Wei Yuanzhou, sitting at the round table, felt their legs go weak, their heads dizzy, and a strong feeling of fatigue and sleepiness surged through their bodies. At the same time, Zhang Yuanqing heard the sound of The Way of the Extraordinary in the corridor collapsing. Wei Yuanzhou quickly took out a tender green leaf from his item bar, held it in his mouth, and said in a deep voice:

"It's a colorless and odorless paralyzing gas. The source should be the ventilation ducts or the central air conditioning. The toxicity is not strong, but it will seriously weaken our combat power…"

He immediately judged the attacker's method based on the situation of his colleagues.

The stronger the Gu poison, the stronger the smell, and it would be detected immediately. The attacker was very smart. He used the hospital's ventilation system to cut flesh with a blunt knife, slowly paralyzing the official The Way of the Extraordinary in the building. Zhang Yuanqing chuckled, "Guessed it."

What tactics would a Soul Bender who was good at using poison take when fighting more with less? When the patrol team discussed it privately, Li Chunfeng's prediction was — using the ventilation ducts to deliver poisonous gas.

So Zhang Yuanqing arranged for Xiao Doubi and Ghost Bride to guard the central air conditioning and ventilation ducts, and gave each official The Way of the Extraordinary on duty a detoxification pill made by the Wood Fiend. Unexpectedly, they still fell for it.

Zhang Yuanqing estimated that before the Soul Bender acted, he held a grand prayer, adding a buff to his actions.

He unhurriedly summoned the Mountain God Scepter, held this very powerful prop with a great price in his hand, and activated the prop's Super Strength function.

In an instant, a powerful force gushed out from the scepter, merging into his limbs, and the weakness and fatigue of his muscles instantly dissipated.

Zhang Yuanqing carried the Mountain God Scepter and rushed out of the lounge, just in time to see a man in a black coat, hunched over, wearing a mask, rushing towards the special care ward in the brightly lit corridor. "篤!"

He planted the Mountain God Scepter at his feet, and a ripple of green light rippled out. The potted plants placed around the corridor came to life, grew rapidly, and extended into vines, entangling the oncoming enemy.

The enemy, draped in a coat and hunched over, was exceptionally agile. He sidestepped, jumped, and dodged the vines. Finally, he jumped up and stepped on the wall to escape the whipping of a vine, and came right in front of Zhang Yuanqing.

Under the black coat, an arm wearing a steel bracer protruded, with a hand like a large rodent's front paw, with sharp nails. "呼!"

The claws brushed through the air, making a clear whistling sound, easily tearing the young man holding the scepter. But this was just a phantom.

The hunched Soul Bender was stunned for a moment. Then, he leaned his body to the left, his back pressed against the wall, as if dodging something.

"砰"

The floor tiles at the place where he was originally standing were shattered into pieces. The young man holding the scepter showed his figure.

With the rod missing, Zhang Yuanqing immediately kicked up, showing super flexibility, kicking the Soul Bender's chin with the tip of his toe. At the same time, he saw half of the Soul Bender's face clearly, rat-like, black, gleaming eyes, white hair at the temples, and deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He was very old.

The Soul Bender's body suddenly collapsed, dodging again nimbly. 冬!

Zhang Yuanqing's venomous kick left a deep pit in the wall. He cast Star Escape without hesitation, his body turned into a dreamlike starry official, dodging a claw sweeping towards his ankle.

Zhang Yuanqing's figure appeared dozens of meters away, his face pale, and worm-like objects protruded under his skin, crawling slowly. He was poisoned and had been invaded by insect eggs.

The air was full of poisonous gas and dust-like insect eggs, entering the human body with breathing. "Cough, cough..."

The Soul Bender suddenly coughed violently, feeling tightness in his chest, discomfort in his throat, and difficulty breathing. His forehead was also burning up.

He was sick, and bacteria were attacking his immune system, bringing various discomforts. This was because Wei Yuanzhou in the lounge had released bacteria.

At this time, in the corridor, a certain door was kicked open violently. A red-haired girl rushed out, without saying a word, letting her petite body ignite a violent flame, like a meteor, crashing into the Soul Bender.

The Soul Bender, in a state of discomfort, was about to cross his arms, trying to block the meteor strike.

However, a ghostly figure in a bright red wedding dress, holding a baby in her arms, appeared silently behind the Soul Bender, completing the possession. "轰!"

The meteor hit the Soul Bender's chest squarely, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood wildly, his chest scorched black. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yuanqing, with the Night Wanderer's powerful vitality, suppressed the Gu worms and Gu poison, held the Mountain God Scepter in his left hand, summoned the Bloodthirsty Blade in his right hand, and pursued the possessed Soul Bender at a faster speed. The sharp willow knife plunged into the enemy's chest.

But Zhang Yuanqing knew that such an attack was not enough to be fatal to the Soul Bender's vitality. Calmly drawing his knife, he slashed at the opponent's neck, intending to complete the decapitation.

And the seriously injured Soul Bender, after landing heavily, his hands and feet seemed to become less agile, clumsily swiping a few times, unable to make effective avoidance. This was because Xiao Doubi had exchanged his agility.

Dealing with a level 4 Soul Bender, still with more fighting less, he didn't need to use all his props, nor did he need to use skills such as Howl at the Moon or Spiritual Travel.

Just then, there was a loud bang, and the floor-to-ceiling window in the ward next to Zhang Yuanqing shattered.

A black shadow broke through the floor-to-ceiling window, swept through the ward in an instant, rushed into the corridor, and knocked Zhang Yuanqing away.

This figure was so fast that he didn't react. In a hurry, he could only roll over while casting Night Wander, hiding his figure. But the black shadow did not chase after him, but grabbed the Soul Bender's shoulder, carried him into the ward, and flew away from the broken floor-to-ceiling window.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes chased after the opponent, and in the sound of helicopter propellers, he saw the sexy wasp abdomen with black and yellow spots, and saw a familiar and unfamiliar back. Xiao Yuan. He was stunned.
