Chapter 261: Another Supporter

~7 min read 1,271 words

That was an iron door that was so rusty it could fall apart at any time. As if it had already known of their arrival, the door opened with a "creak." In this silent culvert, the sound was so harsh.

"Welcome." A low voice accompanied by a rotten smell came from inside the door, echoing in the culvert, as if from another world.

As the voice sounded, the lights came on. For the four people who had just become accustomed to the darkness, their vision was all white for a moment.

"Xi He! I found you according to the agreed time, let my father go," Qi Fei shouted loudly.

A person's head poked out from the door, but it was not Xi He, but Feng Yongfu.

"God said, to see him, you need to confess all your findings." He crossed his hands in front of his chest. Because he escaped in the muddy cattail bushes, he was dirty all over, but his face was pious, as if he were a medieval ascetic.

"God?" In Qi Fei's mind, a person's image appeared involuntarily—the Ying Shuigen who called himself "Great Immortal Golden Snake." He once worshipped Xi He as a god. It seems this Feng Yongfu is another supporter of Xi He.

Qi Fei pulled out his gun and aimed it at Feng Yongfu: "Tell me, is my father inside?"

A ferocious smile appeared on Feng Yongfu's face: "Officer Qi, you have patiently peeled the cocoon for the past ten days, you wouldn't suddenly lose patience at the last moment, would you?"

"Qi Fei, don't be provoked by him," Zhong Xiaoyu's voice came from behind Qi Fei, reminding him that this was the other party's trick.

It was strange that Feng Yongfu, who heard Zhong Xiaoyu speak, had no reaction, as if for him, Zhong Xiaoyu was just a stranger.

He just continued to say to Qi Fei: "God said, he really wants to know your answer sheet. And..." Feng Yongfu's gaze fell on the gun barrel Qi Fei aimed at him, "This place is full of magnetic fields. Your guns can't hurt anyone. Everyone must abide by the game rules set by God."

Wu Shanqiu muttered in a low voice: "I don't know why, but anyone who gets involved with Xi He becomes god-like."

"He's right, a player who doesn't play to clear the level is not a qualified player." Qi Fei signaled Wu Shanqiu not to speak, stared at Feng Yongfu and continued: "My suspicion of Zhong Kui was wrong. It was you who deliberately revealed the news of Feng Yongshou's disappearance to Zhong Kui, because you knew that one day, Zhong Kui would find me.

No, it should be that Xi He knew that one day Zhong Kui would find him.

This game was not a whim, but was designed from the moment Zhong Kui appeared."

Feng Yongfu grinned: "Guessed half right." As he spoke, he looked over Qi Fei's shoulder at Zhong Xiaoyu, "Great Immortal, you finally revealed your true body. When you appeared in Sanwu Town that year, I knew you were coming for me."

But Zhong Xiaoyu took half a step back and accidentally bumped into Jiang Tianyi.

Jiang Tianyi hurriedly reached out to support her.

Zhong Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Tianyi in a panic, murmuring: "Senior brother, I can't do it, I can't do it..."

"Xiaoyu, don't force yourself. If you are willing, I will take you away from here now," Jiang Tianyi said softly.

However, just after he finished speaking, the expression on Zhong Xiaoyu's face suddenly changed. She suddenly reached out and pushed Jiang Tianyi away, disgustedly tore off the hair tie, and glanced at Qi Fei: "Heh, overestimating your capabilities, do you really think you can handle this scene?"

Hearing this tone, one knew that Zhong Kui was back. It seems Zhong Xiaoyu could not bear the pressure of facing Xi He, and finally chose to let Zhong Kui come out to block all this for her.

It's just that I don't know if Zhong Kui said this to Zhong Xiaoyu or Qi Fei.

Obviously, Zhong Kui knew about Qi Fei giving Zhong Xiaoyu the hair tie.

Zhong Kui walked to Qi Fei's side and looked at Feng Yongfu arrogantly: "Old Feng, it's amazing that you haven't shown your flaws after being fished for so long."

Feng Yongfu lowered his eyebrows: "It's also amazing that you could think of starting from me."

"To study an opponent, of course, you have to start from his background. Nothing is more useful than the information provided by Xi He when he was having psychological counseling with Zhong Xiaoyu.

As long as you trace Xi Ziyun, it's not difficult to trace you." Zhong Kui looked at him straight, and just as she was about to say something else, a "whoosh" sound suddenly rang out in the culvert. Following that, Feng Yongfu's face changed, and that sinister face was distorted beyond recognition due to shock and pain.

He fell forward to the ground and didn't move.

Qi Fei hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see a dart deeply embedded in the place where Feng Yongfu's back of the head connected to his neck. It was precise and fatal, killing him instantly without even giving him a chance to speak.

Visually, this dart was not made of metal, but more like ceramic, similar to a ceramic fruit knife, which could hit the target without being interfered with by the magnetic field in the culvert.

If Xi He could kill Feng Yongfu, it meant he could kill anyone in this culvert.

"This is a trap!" He looked around vigilantly and said to the other three, "You guys withdraw along the original path immediately, I'll handle the rest myself."

However, the three people suddenly had a tacit understanding and didn't move their steps.

Qi Fei was anxious: "What are you doing? Xi He designed these things because of me, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Qi Fei, you're wrong. He designed these because of me, you are just a part of it," Zhong Kui said to him mercilessly.

Qi Fei knew what Xi He meant to her, so he didn't say anything more, and instead urged the other two: "Shanqiu, Dr. Jiang, you guys hurry up and leave!"

"Fei Ge, this is a major criminal case, not your private matter, I'm not leaving," Wu Shanqiu insisted as well.

"You and Xiaoyu need me," Jiang Tianyi followed closely.

At this time, from the depths of the rusty iron door came the sound of unhurried applause, from far to near, followed by Xi He's cold voice: "It's really moving, Qi Fei. You always have so much love, it makes people envious and jealous."

Xi He appeared in front of them, his white clothes out of place in this old and dirty culvert.

"You killed Feng Yongfu?!" Qi Fei stood by the corpse and questioned indignantly.

However, Xi He didn't even look at the corpse. He just raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the three words "Feng Yongfu" and said to Qi Fei: "Let's have a peaceful conversation. I can tell you first that Qi Dongjun is not here. If you want to find him, complete the final chapter of the game. It's really something to look forward to!" This had made it clear that they couldn't hurt him here, otherwise Qi Dongjun would have to be buried with him.

As he spoke, his gaze moved from Qi Fei to Zhong Kui. After looking her up and down, he grinned: "Hmph, I thought I would see an old friend today, disappointed."
