He had already investigated the situation in the manor and was about to leave. Wasn't this an opportunity?!
Hearing the words of the 'balloon fish', Duanmu Lei was secretly delighted! Suddenly, he remembered his current identity and his heart trembled. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of Bevington, who was about to leave, and begged pitifully,""Mr. Bevington, please listen to my explanation…Respected Mr. Bevington, please forgive this bastard for his slip of the tongue! Please forgive me and don't chase me away. Otherwise, when my father comes back, he will definitely chase me out of the house like a stray dog!”
The 'balloon fish' struggled a few times, but it couldn't break free. It glared at Kun Li and scolded,""Bastard! Let go of me!"
"Mr. Bevington, please do it for my father…Oh, no! Please forgive me for the sake of the merciful Lord!”Kun Li seemed to be shocked by his fierce expression. He wanted to let go, but he was afraid that he would leave if he let go, so he let go of one hand and used the other hand to tug at his sleeve and continue begging.
Bevington was amused by " Kunli "'s " letting go " and burst out laughing. After a while, he slowly said,""Let go. If you don't let go, I'm really leaving! Tell me, your father is such an honest person. How did he give birth to such a scoundrel like you?”
Duanmu Lei quickly loosened his sleeves and pretended to be pleasantly surprised. He held his hand again and asked,"Mr. Bevington, do you forgive me?”
"So what if I don't forgive you? Who asked me to be good friends with your father!”Bevington said as he patted Duanmu Lei's hand.
"That's great! Praise the Lord! Praise the merciful Lord! Praise the merciful and loving Lord!" Duanmu Lei said.
"Haha, child, you should thank your father instead of the Lord. You should thank your father for having me as a good friend!”Bevington said with a sly smile.
Hearing his 'treasonous' words, Duanmu Lei couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. What was going on? As a clergyman, Bevington actually…
Seeing Duanmu Lei's expression, how could the crafty Bevington not know what he was thinking? " I used to think that some clergymen had bad tempers," he said with a smile." I didn't expect these guys to be blinded by secular power!" To be shameless to this extent just to bootlick…Alright, I won't tell you about these things. By the way, Kun Li, have you fixed the clock?”
"Mr. Bevington, it'll be ready soon. It'll take ten minutes at most!”
Although Duanmu Lei was dissatisfied with Bevington's half-finished words and was curious about what the clergyman who made Mr." Meatball " Bevington so shameless had done, he knew that curiosity could not only kill the cat, but also kill the man. Furthermore, he knew his mission, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Good! Then I'll wait another ten minutes. After the clock is repaired, you can go straight home. Your work is done!”Bevington patted Quinley's shoulder, turned around, and walked down the bell tower.
Duanmu Lei stood at the stairs leading to the tower and watched for a while. After making sure that no one was coming up, he carefully went to the wall and put away the cameras, placing them back into the compartment of the toolbox. Then, he walked to the side of the big clock and broke off a nail that had been rolled into an iron bar from the tooth surface of a huge gear. He put it into the toolbox along with other tools. He checked it carefully again and didn't miss anything. He picked up the toolbox and walked down. When he passed by the manor, he carefully looked inside. From time to time, a servant would lead a few big dogs to walk around on the grass…
Although the weather in York in May had not entered the hottest period of the year, the temperature at noon had already reached 30 degrees. Although the streets were hot, there were still many pedestrians coming and going. These ancient buildings in York had always been a favorite of tourists!
Duanmu Lei returned to Kun Li's home and walked into the bedroom. He turned on the air conditioner and rested on the bed for a while. Then, he got up and finished the junk food he had bought on the way. Then, he sat cross-legged on the floor.
After about an hour, he stood up and raised his hands from both sides of his body. His palms were facing the sky, and his feet were gradually separated. His front legs were arched and his back legs were raised, forming a lunge. After a while, his body leaned back, his palms were on the ground, and his legs were curled up. His entire body had turned into a meatball supported by both hands...
He did about a dozen of these strange actions before he stopped. He looked at the sky outside and saw that it was already red. He nodded and walked into the bathroom.
He grabbed the mirror on the sink with both hands and flipped it over, revealing a square hole in the wall. He reached his hand in and took out a palm-sized pocket. He opened the bag and took out a few flat plastic bottles. He poured some powders of different colors into the washbasin, turned on the tap, and stirred it with his hand from time to time. In a short while, the water in the washbasin turned from light green to black, from black to brown, and finally became colorless and transparent.
Duanmu Lei held the basin with both hands and immersed his face in the water. After about five minutes, when he raised his head, the young man in the mirror had already become an old man with wrinkles all over his face. His hair was stuck to his cheeks, making him look very terrifying. He raised his hands, pinched his ears, and pulled hard. The blond, deep-set eyes, and high-nosed " Kunli " turned into an Asian man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. It was completely different from the appearance when he first appeared at Richard's door! He quickly scratched his body a few more times, tore off a few pieces of flesh-colored things and threw them aside. His originally slightly bloated body had slimmed down, but his skin was a little white. It was not the kind of white that a Caucasian would have, but the paleness of a corpse that had been soaked in water for a few days!
He crossed his fingers and twisted them a few times. Slowly, his entire body began to shake along with the rhythm of his hands. The bones in his entire body made a grinding sound. His height slowly shortened from 1.9 meters to 1.7 meters!
He took off his disguise, turned on the shower, and took a shower carefully. He changed into black clothes and returned to the bedroom. He sat down cross-legged again.
If the Interpol were here, they would be shocked. So the true face of the Thousand-faced Thief, who made the international treasure tycoons tremble in fear, was actually such a handsome young man! Then what was he doing in Yorkshire, Great Britain? Judging from his past behavior, he must have taken a fancy to a treasure in Yorkshire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to hide here. However, there were not many people in York who had internationally renowned cultural relics! Could it be that he had set his eyes on something in York Cathedral?
According to the Interpol database: Thousand-faced Thief, name unknown, no photo. He had no background and looked like an Asian. She was agile and good at makeup and imitation. No matter young or old, male or female, she could pass off the fake as the real one. He is good at using cold weapons, but he is familiar with all kinds of guns and equipment. This person had superb concealment skills, and his behavior was similar to that of the legendary ninjas. He was cunning and cruel, and no one had ever seen his true face-or witnesses were killed. He had stolen countless treasures in his eight years of cultivation. Because most of the things he stole came from China, some people said that he was a treasure hunter secretly trained by China to recover the lost treasures...
Was Duanmu Lei his real name? No one knew.
He sat cross-legged on the floor and formed a spell with both hands. The scene before he left the sect appeared in his mind…
The Divine Continent of China was vast, with countless famous mountains and great rivers. Since ancient times, countless martial arts sects had risen and fallen in various mountain ranges. Of course, there were sects that had gone through hardships and passed down for thousands of years, such as the well-known Shaolin Temple. Although Shaolin Temple was famous, in terms of historical heritage, Shaolin Temple was probably not even one-tenth of the Five Element Sect. The Five Element Sect was a rather legendary sect in the history of China. It had resisted a country with its own strength for decades. After its failure, the main sect went into hiding while its branch went into exile overseas, evolving into the widely known ninja lineage!
Hidden Dragon Mountain was a branch of Mount Mang. Legend had it that there was once a divine dragon hiding here, hence its name. The Five Element Sect was also hiding here.
In a cave in Hidden Dragon Mountain, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a futon with his back against a stone wall. A man was kneeling in front of him. It was the Thousand-faced Thief.
" Taisheng, this mission is extraordinary," the old man said." The dragon head is of great significance to the Five Element Sect. Now, the dragon head was overseas and was collected by the Englishman Simps. Your mission is to bring back the dragon head in one piece!”
It turned out that the Thousand-faced Thief's real name was Tai Sheng!
Hearing the old man's words, Tai Sheng asked," Master, since the dragon head is so important to us, then back then…"
"How do you know that the seniors of the sect didn't work hard back then?”The old man smiled and replied,"Back then, the dragon head belonged to the Manchu royal family." Although our sect is powerful, if we want to fight against a country, we are overestimating ourselves!”
"Master, if we make a fake one and replace it with the real one without anyone knowing, who will know?”Taisheng seemed to have become a child in front of the old man. He was completely different from the Thousand-faced Thief who made collectors all over the world tremble in fear. He said unwillingly.
" Ha-ha-" The old man laughed heartily. His laughter resonated with the cave, causing the soil at the entrance of the cave to fall down. The old man laughed and said,"Idiot! You should really read more of the ancient books and scriptures in the treasure cave. Do you think that the Qing Dynasty placed the dragon head casually? Were the twelve beast heads placed in Yuanmingyuan just for viewing?……Silly child!"
Tai Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said,""This disciple is too stupid. Please teach me, Master!”
