Chapter 61: The Person Picking Up the Goods, and the Statue Sacrificed at the Center

The text message wasn't long, but it contained a staggering amount of information; Feng Mu's brain momentarily overloaded, and he wanted some quiet.

The reward has arrived, the courier is here.

My goods weren't lost, my courier didn't get lost; the 【Destiny】 member who died in the old dilapidated community isn't my courier~

Did I guess wrong from beginning to end?

Feng Mu felt a mix of emotions; after thinking for a while, although he still couldn't see the full picture clearly and had a vague sense of seeing flowers through fog, the contours of the flowers had become somewhat clearer, and he proposed two answers.

Answer 1: I was needlessly alarmed; for the time being, it seems I don't need to run away.

Answer 2: The goods have arrived, and the courier seems to be that sinister and ruthless guy Ma Bin~

The answers I deduced this time shouldn't be wrong again... right~

Feng Mu thought with a dry mouth and tongue, then suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking of an extremely terrifying and absurd guess.

If Ma Bin is really the courier, why is there a one-hour difference between the times of the two overlapping locations?

The first hour was to meet me as a 【Destiny】 online member;

The second hour was to meet me as a 【Lame Stranger】.

Ma Bin clearly harbored ill intentions; he wanted to use my former self's strength to ambush and kill my later self~

Bad news: Ma Bin is indeed sinister, ruthless, and dishonest; he wants to kill me.

Good news: He has become my downline!

Feng Mu exhaled a long turbid breath, his mood complex as he withdrew the text message he was editing and composed a new one to reply to Ma Bin:

——Alright, Zheng Si's head is mine, no one can snatch it, see you in two hours.

……..

Time rewound slightly, roughly when the masked man was slaughtering indiscriminately in the old dilapidated community; inside a certain abandoned unfinished building, another story and massacre were unfolding simultaneously.

The dark stairs wound upward; because the walls weren't yet sealed, one had to walk carefully, otherwise a careless stumble could lead to a fall and being smashed to pieces.

"Why not bring everyone back to the Blood Rose?" Zheng Si said in a hoarse voice, his lone eye full of brutality.

Ma Bin lowered his head to lead the way, explaining: "Too many people were kidnapped, the commotion was too great, there were many Patrol Bureau vehicles on the road, so I could only choose a new, secluded, uninhabited place."

Zheng Si let out a cold snort, not particularly satisfied with Ma Bin's explanation: "Wasn't I telling you to deal with Li Shang?"

Ma Bin lowered his voice and sighed: "I sent people, but unfortunately they failed."

What he thought in his heart was: "Hmm, I not only sent people, I sent two batches, one to rob, one to rescue."

Zheng Si furrowed his brow fiercely: "Waste."

Ma Bin had no way to refute, and could only bury his face deeper, preventing Zheng Si from noticing anything.

He said: "A total of 49 people, all brought back; anyway, the person who killed Xiao Hang must be among them. Since they are in our hands, finding the real culprit is just a matter of time."

Zheng Si, avenging his son, was nearly insane: "If you can interrogate them, interrogate them; if you can't, send them all down to accompany Xiao Hang. It's too lonely for him down there alone."

Ma Bin agreed.

The top floor wasn't sealed; an iron door was installed, a door Ma Bin had installed, specially reinforced. The door was currently ajar, and the noise of crying and shouting seeped through the crack.

Ma Bin half stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Killing intent surged in Zheng Si's chest; he gave a ferocious laugh, yanked open the iron door with one hand, and strode in.

Pong!

The iron door was slammed shut, and the lock cores popping out with a series of clicks nailed the door firmly into the load-bearing wall.

"Boss, I'm sorry. You've completely gone mad, but I can't stand by and watch you drag the Green Wolf Gang into the abyss, so..."

Through the thick iron door, Ma Bin's hoarse shout, straining his neck, came in, his voice seeming to contain intense struggle.

The sudden betrayal cleared Zheng Si's mind for an instant, and then he saw several fully armed captains standing before him.

There were no 49 kidnapped suspects; only a tape recorder on the floor was looping noise.

Li Shang raised his shoe sole and stomped the tape recorder to pieces; Chang Erbing and others raised their gun muzzles, aiming at Zheng Si.

"Ma Bin, do you dare betray me?" The anger in Zheng Si's eyes burned like flames, and the killing intent in his roar seemed as if it would drill through the door crack and tear Ma Bin into pieces.

He slammed a heavy fist onto the door; Ma Bin, leaning against the door behind it, trembled along with it.

Ma Bin grinned with a mysterious smile, but his tone was as respectful as ever: "Boss, I'm sorry, but don't worry, Captain Li Shang promised to leave you a complete corpse; I'll order you the best coffin for a grand burial..."

Blue veins bulged on Zheng Si's forehead; his thick arms burst through his clothes as he crazily hammered the door again and again.

Boom boom boom!

The iron door trembled violently, its surface dented with deep and shallow fist marks; each time it seemed it could blast the door open, but each time it ultimately lacked that bit of strength.

Li Shang couldn't bear to watch and sneered coldly: "Boss Zheng, don't waste your effort; this iron door was specially custom-made for you by Ma Bin; your fists can't blast it open."

Zheng Si stopped upon hearing this, turned around, and glared at Li Shang, gnashing his teeth; the anger in his eyes seemed ready to devour people.

"Why help Ma Bin?" Zheng Si warily stared at the gun muzzles aimed at him and asked in a hoarse voice.

Li Shang touched the faintly aching wound on his waist and laughed in anger: "You wanted to kidnap my wife and children; what do you think?"

Zheng Si didn't quibble; he thought the meaning in Li Shang's words was what he thought it meant, and now he understood Ma Bin had betrayed him.

So, he only thought Ma Bin hadn't done this at all but had directly confessed to Li Shang, but in fact... Ma Bin not only did it, but did even more than what he confessed.

Zheng Si laughed in extreme anger, his laughter insane: "You wronged my son and obstructed my investigation into the murderer?!"

Li Shang's eyes were cold, devoid of warmth: "The Patrol Bureau never wrongs anyone; you're just too insane!"

"Die!"

Zheng Si roared, suddenly tearing his clothes apart to reveal muscles as strong as iron blocks; he stomped his foot and pounced like a mad tiger.

"It's you who dies~"

Li Shang sneered, gave an order, and several captains who had taken positions in advance pulled their triggers; bullets pouring from all directions like howling torrential rain engulfed him.

Outside the door, at the instant the gunfire suddenly rang out, Ma Bin walked downstairs with light steps toward the underground garage; a man wearing a black hat walked out of the darkness: "Contact Person, I'm here to pick up the goods."

Ma Bin stared at him expressionlessly.

The latter lightly pressed down the brim of his hat, revealing a pair of sinister dead fish eyes, and spoke the contact password: "My goods are not my goods!"

Ma Bin's hand in his trouser pocket loosened slightly, a faint black radiance silently dissipating from the back of his hand, and he replied: "The diving fish has no light."

The contact passwords matched.

"The goods are inside," Ma Bin said as he pushed open the door to the Underground Garage; instantly, a rich and fresh fishy smell rushed toward them.

The Black Hat man walked in and saw forty-four corpses of Hooligans from the Green Wolf Gang lying on the ground; none had obvious wounds, and each had a faint smile at the mouth corner before death, their deaths quite Qiyi.

The Black Hat man was stunned for a moment, curious in his heart how the Contact Person, who knew no martial arts, had killed these people, but after hesitating a moment, he did not ask aloud.

Respecting every member's privacy and Secret is the rule of Destiny; he only needed to Pick Up Goods.

On the ground, the blood of the forty-four corpses had been drained, drawn into a Qiyi Ritual Diagram on the floor; in the center of the Ritual Diagram, forty-four blindfolded people lay limp, motionless, like a giant snake coiled on the ground with head and tail joined.

The Black Hat man counted the number and frowned, saying: "The goods are short by five."

Ma Bin sighed: "Five died during transport; count it as Normal Loss."

The Black Hat man nodded, then walked step by step into the center of the Ritual Diagram, taking out a palm-sized Statue from his bosom and reverently and fanatically placing it at the center of the "giant snake."

If Feng Mu were here, he would surely recognize that the face of the Statue was none other than his face from his previous life—Feng Mu.

The Black Hat man withdrew from the Ritual Diagram, nodded to Ma Bin, placed one hand over his chest, and said in a deep voice: "For Fate, Offer Death!"

Ma Bin, always Cold/Ruthless and venomous, also had a solemn expression; he likewise placed one hand over his heart and said fanatically: "For Fate, Offer Death!"
