Chapter 344: Specialist Appointment

Bai Lu, torn to pieces.

Heart Axis, soul shattered.

Ruins... the Ruins are actually still alive!

Although when Lu Feng pulled him out, only half of his body was left, with a thermal blade kinetic axe clamped on his forehead, anchor-style armor-piercing bullets nailed to his hands, and an electromagnetic shock baton in his mouth, this kind of "eating and taking" actually still had breath...

And after a shot of spiritual quality tonic, he could still cry out.

"Don't, don't hit me, don't hit me!" Wan Wu choked, his incomplete tongue squirming, making a confused sound with all his might: "I confess, I confess everything... I... I took the money... the person who directed me is..."

"Shh."

Ji Jue smiled and touched his head, raised a finger, and held it to his lips—don't say anything, don't need to say anything.

Just feel it with your heart.

For what he said, Ji Jue was neither interested nor cared.

Although those who know the times are heroes, and Feng Ge had already pried his mouth open, but people were about to die, so what they said was naturally hard to distinguish between true and false.

Who believes it?

Anyway, I already have a suspect list, at worst I'll just pluck them from top to bottom.

When the time comes, the dead deserve it, as for the living... since they can still live, there must be a problem!

Right in the brief wait, the sound of knocking on the door rang out.

The person outside the door took off his hat, held it with both hands, and smiled honestly at Ji Jue: "Sorry, I'm late."

"Just right, please."

Ji Jue moved aside: "You really helped a lot."

This is the expert brought by the Golden-Haired Boy.

Skin rough, face dark, with patches of sunspots, pale beard stubble, muscular, just like an old fisherman, cautious and humble.

In Xinquan, he was completely inconspicuous, seen everywhere.

If you want to say the only special thing... it was only that distance that seemed deliberately expressed.

Even when smiling, he still didn't look at anyone.

Enough to be called "polite."

For Heart Axis Chosen Ones, it was simply the etiquette used when treating distinguished guests, to show their own harmlessness...

No way, when facing the Heart Axis line, the attitude of Chosen Ones in general was disgust or resistance, even if it was a little better, they would keep their distance after knowing.

After all, this bunch is too insidious!

There is a saying that people's imagination is infinite, just look at the development and imagination of related abilities on a certain light green forum to know why the reputation of the Heart Axis line is so bad.

But one of the prerequisites for awakening the Heart Axis is the desire in the heart that is abnormally violent and surging compared to ordinary people!

Imagine, having such a guy living next to you, anyone would probably not be able to sleep!

Unless fully trusted, who can accept a Heart Axis as a friend? Moreover, even if fully trusted, how can you distinguish whether this trust comes from his dedication or his ability?

So-called trust is such an annoying thing, once suspicion arises, even if it is a wisp, a star, everything will be gone.

At the same time, because the operation of the Heart Axis is all full in various insidious places, to the point that... the combat power on the surface is not much different from the Ether, but it can't run faster than the Mirror.

You have to know, you plan to exterminate the Mirror's family tomorrow, the Mirror might have run away yesterday.

Even if hiding in the dark, it can't hide from the Mirror. After all, you racked your brains to catch a Mirror, it might even be a mimic disguise they made.

They can't even take shelter in a workshop like an artisan.

Therefore, the vast majority of Heart Axis Chosen Ones generally don't easily expose their identities, hiding in the dark to observe steadily, and possibly passing through several layers of isolation to ensure their own safety.

Then, it deepened everyone's stereotype of the Heart Axis as an old insidious person...

No way, to say insidious, it is indeed insidious.

If people's prejudice is a big mountain, then the Heart Axis one is the world's highest peak... Many tragic precedents have successfully forged the Heart Axis's reputation of stinking for three miles, even successfully bottoming out the contempt chain of the Twelve Goodness, saving the embers from fire and water.

"Old Fisherman," is his code name.

The cooperation between the wilderness and the wilderness market has been for many years, and in order to avoid the guy Golden-Haired Boy who has a single-track mind from messing things up, Chen Xingzhou specially sent him to be an external brain.

Barely credible.

It's just that, even if credible, it's hard to develop any friendship, at most, it's just a colleague-like relationship.

Since he had arrived, he didn't waste time.

Didn't ask much, didn't look at others.

After taking off his hat and asking about Ji Jue's requirements, he reached out and pressed on the Ruins' head.

Reaching out and pulling, thousands of threads of consciousness were pulled out from the soul like a net, those countless distracting thoughts and memories intertwined, a mess.

But Old Fisherman's ten fingers were dexterous, really like a fisherman, lightly separating those broken ends, loosening the dead knots intertwined, as if organizing a fishing net.

Tracing back along the end, reading.

"Well, there are indeed a few settlements reaching out behind..."

He observed the memory in his hand repeatedly, confirming it was correct: "A total of five people came, two are waiting in the nearby settlement, three killed the person who came to take the goods halfway, and then impersonated them to run in.

There is a mole in Xinquan, who was bribed, well, sent by someone from the beginning."

"I know, these hidden targets are all under surveillance, and they have already been controlled."

Ji Jue waved his hand: "What about the identities of these guys?"

"Well, let me see, this Ruins is a thug for the leader of the Pan Mountain Village in the Yinjiang area, there is a Heart Axis, who is a wanted criminal who committed a crime in the city and fled to the wilderness wanting to run to the Qiandao side, well... there is also one, Bai Lu, from the Gray Port side, who is a 'Water Ghost'."

Old Fisherman's movements didn't stop, repeatedly pulling thoughts and consciousness, inducing many memories in the hollow soul to emerge, piecing together from the floating light and passing shadows.

"Bai Lu's background, this Ruins thug doesn't know very well, but they have cooperated for too long, and he has some guesses, it should be under the warlord of the Seven Cities Alliance area, a scout sent by the Blood-Washing Fleet of the pirate group, it should be for this rainy season, running to Haizhou early to probe the wind."

This year, the big lord in the northern territory just changed, the new lord is trying hard to rush out of the northern territory, fight the Battle of the White River again, and the trade route is completely stopped.

These water ghosts are probably poor and crazy, running thousands of miles away, trying to make a big profit.

Now it seems that they have reached an agreement with many local settlements."

Old Fisherman let go of his hand and turned back: "Mr. Ji, you have to be prepared early."

"Okay, I know."

Ji Jue smiled, shook hands with him politely, Old Fisherman hesitated, didn't dare to neglect, reached out and shook it lightly, then separated at a touch.

Then, he took the initiative to resign.

Just kidding, even if he was invited to stay for dinner, he wouldn't dare to eat.

The Heart Axis's perception of emotions is like eating and drinking, how could there be any mistake.

In the past, seeing those cooperators who greeted with smiles, he hadn't experienced the disgust or guard under the hypocrisy, but, these things were not on Ji Jue!

It's as if he doesn't discriminate against the Heart Axis at all, under the smile, it's not hypocrisy.

Only a hollow that makes him skin crawl.

Since walking into the room, he started to break out in a cold sweat...

That kind of gentle gaze always made him feel like a thorn in his back, the warmth and consideration at this moment, rather than politeness, was more like an instinctive respect and cherishing for materials.

The longer he stayed, the more afraid he was.

Being looked at by such eyes, the longer he looked, the more he trembled!

When turning around, his heart was in his throat, fearing that he would be grabbed by Ji Jue, refined instantly, almost fell when going out, staggered two steps, walked faster and faster, and soon disappeared.

Too damn insidious!

Old Fisherman lay in the wilderness market branch of Diaomao Town, drank several glasses of strong wine, and finally caught his breath.

Lingering fear.

"Hey, this old guy, doesn't know any manners, doesn't even say goodbye."

Golden-Haired Boy, who was still at Coast, couldn't help but frown, looked at Ji Jue awkwardly: "Ji Ge, forgive him, he might have taken the wrong medicine, I'll let him come to apologize to you next time."

"No need, maybe he's not feeling well." Ji Jue smiled broadly, not caring at all.

"It's just that... that..."

Golden-Haired Boy scratched his head, solemnly guaranteed: "Although I can't say pretty words, I definitely stand on your side, Ji Ge, just order me if there is anything."

"No need, Xinquan is Coast's business, it's a big help if you manage the guys from Diaomao Town well, as long as there are no traitors colluding with others."

Ji Jue patted his shoulder, comforted him a few words: "My business, I'll solve it myself."

At this moment, Golden-Haired Boy nodded upon hearing this.

Anyway, whatever Ji Ge says is what it is, since the boss didn't speak, and Ji Ge also said no need, then he will honestly do his work, don't drag his feet and lose face again.

After politely saying goodbye, he left.

"Hi, this is a big formation."

Lu Feng grinned, walked out wearing big pants after taking a shower, sat on a chair and picked his feet, his hair was still wet, not wiped dry.

Lu Feng grinned. After taking a shower, he walked out swaggering in his large boxers and sat on a chair to pick at his feet; his hair was still soaking wet and hadn't been dried.

And for Ji Jue, the next things might be a bit troublesome.

Hefang, Tianning, Shanmen, Yinjiang...

The famous large settlements in Haizhou were probably all involved.

These large settlements in the wilderness basically couldn't be called fuel-efficient lamps. If they were strictly investigated, those leaders and high-level officials, one by one, would deserve to die even if they were shot a dozen times.

Human trafficking or illegal planting were basically commonplace, some went down to the mines covered in dirt during the day, and at night they covered their faces and became bandit gangs roaming the wilderness.

It was also expected that they were unclear with those water ghosts at sea.

In these days, everyone could still keep the well water from the river water on the surface, but that was the result of Ji Jue's massacre when clearing Diaomao Town. Ji Jue, such a ruthless artisan, backed by the Security Bureau, standing behind him were the Tong family, the Lou family, and even Haichao Industry... no one wanted to look for trouble for themselves.

But in the final analysis, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents.

In the past, when selling tricycles and small vans from the city, naturally they were affectionate, honey-sweet, after all, not taking advantage is a bastard, but now, Ji Jue actually started to enter the field, so the situation was naturally completely different.

Xinquan and Coast had long been a thorn in the side of who knew how many people.

With such fat meat, who wouldn't want to take a bite?

I'm afraid that pirate groups like the so-called Blood-Washing Fleet are just pioneers. The Endless Sea is vast, and there are more than a thousand islands? How many lunatics and pirates who want money but not life are there?

That is to say...

Ji Jue hammered his palm, suddenly realized: "After finishing this wave, I won't have to worry about free beasts of burden anymore?!"

Not just free beasts of burden, if things go well, materials can be scraped off a big wave... Where are these enemies, they are clearly my "friends and relatives" I've never met!

When can such good things come to the door?

He pinched his chin, already starting to be impatient.

And right under the same night curtain, at the entrance outside Xinquan, a rusty broken car stopped slowly, and then, several figures carrying boxes of various sizes got off the car.

Under the cold overlooking of the searchlight, the security guard at the sentry post was wearing night vision goggles, and the muzzle in his hand had already been raised.

"Sorry, please tell Mr. Ji."

The bearded man at the head grinned, revealing half a mouthful of gold teeth, and said to the person in front of the door: "Longdao Chamber of Commerce specifically came to visit."

Soon, Gou Er, who had just lain in the gatehouse for a while, was dragged up, ran over staggeringly, squinted his eyes, and looked at those sincere smiling faces.

Also revealed a smile, but for some reason, his heart was lifted.

Nerves tense.

Glanced at the guard, signaled with his eyes, before saying with a grin: "Sorry, everyone, it's too coincidental. The rainy season is coming soon, the situation is a bit tight, if you want to enter the town, you have to wait until tomorrow."

The bearded man shook his head, smiling warmly: "We are here to visit Mr. Ji."

Gou Er was silent, looked at them, and after a long time, answered decisively: "Sorry, the Factory Manager is busy recently, doesn't see outside guests."

"What are you talking about, everyone is a stranger once, familiar twice, how can we be considered outsiders?"

The bearded man leaned closer, grinned, patted his shoulder: "Besides, although the sea and land are relatively far, as neighbors who can't help but visit, we always have to meet... right?"

In the smile, the fishy, rotten blood of the sea rushed to his face! ===== CHAPTER 345 =====

Amidst the smile, the fishy, rotting scent of blood from the sea rushed toward him!
