"The eighth time. Ghost Talisman
Chapter: 6755 Words
My phone rang. I took out my phone. The caller ID was unknown. I pressed the answer button. "You already know, right?" The other party's voice sounded. "Who are you?" I asked softly. "Who I am is not important. What is important is who you are.”"What do you want?" "I don't want anything. I just want to play a game with you.”"What game?" " Let's wait until you walk out of this alley alive…" The other party hung up.
I put away my phone and drank the tea in my cup in one gulp, suppressing the strong smell of blood in my throat. He turned around and walked out of the courtyard. The silver-white moonlight shone on the alley, making it quiet and sad.
I slowly walked along the street, stepping on the bright moonlight.
"Sou!" A sharp blade cut across my cheek, and blood dripped down from the wound. A flying knife sank into a crack in the ground. I bent down to pick it up. This must have been done by a peerless expert. Otherwise, ordinary people would not have the strength to shoot a flying knife into a crack in the ground!
I surveyed my surroundings. The night was very quiet, and there was no one around. In fact, other than my own aura, I couldn't find any other aura…
A gust of cold wind blew behind him, bringing with it an unknown fear. I held the sword in my left hand and stepped forward. A black shadow suddenly flashed across the roofs on both sides of the street. It seemed that the other party had already locked me in this alley. If that was the case, I definitely wouldn't be able to get out. Then…
At the other end of the alley, an old man in ragged clothes pushed a small wheelbarrow full of straw over. I hid in the darkness. When he passed by me, I picked up a stone and threw it behind him.
"Who is it?" He looked back to see who was making the noise in the middle of the night. I immediately took advantage of the moment when he turned his head to get into the haystack and let him push the cart out of the alley.
After I left the alley, I came out of the haystack. The old man looked at me in surprise as I ran towards the hotel.
When I returned to the hotel, I rushed to the basement. Uncle Tai was feeding Jin. "You're back." Seeing that I was safe and sound, Ember's eyes calmed down. His body was still very weak and he did not have the strength to get up again.
I walked over and sat beside him.”"It's nothing." said Jin. "Where are Chi Ze and the others? Didn't you guys retreat together?”I asked," I told them to leave first and came back to pick you up. In the end, I met an expert.”"Expert? How strong is he?" "I can't explain it, but it's not something that you and I can handle with our current abilities.”What kind of expert was it that caused Jin to be so heavily injured? "How many rounds have you exchanged?" " One round?" What? Just one round was enough to make Jin unable to fight back, and he was so heavily injured!
"His speed is too fast. I can't even see his moves clearly. It seems that there are still many profound martial artists in this world that we don't know about.”Jin sighed.
" Rest first," Uncle Tai said to Jin." Your body is very weak now. You need to recuperate."”I motioned for him to have a good sleep before following Uncle Tai out of the basement.
"The old man told you everything, right?”he said. "Yes, I know." "Then what do you plan to do?" "Find the remaining blueprints and use them to find the mysterious treasure. What the old man meant was that there was something very important to us in this treasure trove. We had to find it, but we couldn't let it fall into the other party's hands.”I said.
My phone rang again. I knew it was from the other party."Hey, I've already come out alive. How do we continue the game?”"I really didn't choose the wrong person. Hehe, he's an expert.”"How do you want to play?" "Find me within three hours first.”The other party hung up the phone again.
"Uncle Tai, please take care of him. I'll go and meet them first.”I said as I walked out of the hotel. "Be careful." Uncle Tai said as he watched me walk out of his sight. How can I find them? I don't even know who they are. Where can I find them? There were no clues at all…
Wait a minute, since the Black Tiger Gang is baiting me, then they must be related to the Ghost Talisman. If we find the Ghost Talisman, can't we start from the Black Tiger Gang? The Black Tiger Gang can be the catalyst to deal with me, but why can't they be the catalyst to deal with Gui Fu?
He walked out of the hotel and walked alone in the night. The breeze lingered in the sky as if it had no direction. The silver-white moonlight enveloped the quiet ancient town like a veil.
There were sounds of punches and kicks and groans of pain coming from the front. I carefully walked over and saw the bald man and a dozen people surrounding and beating up a person.
I concentrated my strength on my left fist and rushed over. They weren't prepared. The dozen or so people scattered and ran into the distance in a sorry state. I went up to help the man up.”"Nothing, thank you." He raised his head. In an instant, our expressions froze in the air. The person in front of us was the son of the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Ziqing!
"Yes... It's you." He whispered in surprise. "Why did they chase you?" I asked." Because I know some secrets that I shouldn't know.”I helped him to the side of the road and sat him down on the curb.
"Actually, after the last incident, I realized that I was wrong in the past. I made so many mistakes, so I decided to change. This time, my father didn't tell me at first. He and the organization called Ghost Seal lured you out. I accidentally overheard this matter and wanted to tell you in advance, but I was chased and beaten up.”As Ziqing spoke, two streams of tears flowed down. "Let bygones be bygones.”I patted him on the shoulder. I believed that he had made up his mind to turn over a new leaf and was willing to be a good person.
"Ziqing, take me to your father.”As I spoke, Ziqing and I walked towards the south of the town. "I heard that everyone in that organization called Gui Fu is very powerful. How do you deal with them?”Ziqing asked. "I naturally have my ways." I smiled. "No matter what, I will help you from now on. I will use my actions to atone for my past sins.”I looked into his eyes. They were very sincere, completely different from the Ziqing I had seen before. At that time, he was just a hooligan. He was very arrogant and frivolous, and his words were always filled with gunpowder.
"Can I have a request?" he suddenly asked. "What request?" I asked. Tell me." "I've been living a barren and superficial life for eighteen years. No one can be sincere to me, and everyone only cares about their own interests. I want to ask you to promise me to be your friend, a real friend, okay?”I nodded. The current Ziqing was worthy of my concern. He was worthy of me being his true friend and treating him sincerely.
Ziqing took me to a private bungalow. "He's on the third floor." Ziqing pointed at the room with the lights on. I took the keys and told him to go to the hotel to find Uncle Tai. Be careful on the way. Then I approached the house alone and opened the door gently. I fumbled my way up to the third floor and hid outside the door of the room.
I peeked through the crack of the door and saw a man in his sixties looking at a leather map under the light. It was a treasure map! He had one too! Could it be that the Black Tiger Gang and the Ghost Coincidence were working together to collect the blueprints?
I picked up my gun and broke in. By the time he reacted, the muzzle was already pressed against his temple. "What do you want?" He asked calmly. I didn't say anything and just took the blueprint from his hand. Then, I took out my phone and called him back."The leader of the Black Tiger Gang is now in my hands.”
"Is that so?"
"If you don't believe me, you can listen to his voice.”I kicked him hard and he snorted in pain.
"It doesn't matter. He has no meaning to us now. He was just a chess piece before. However, you are very smart and know how to use this trick.”The other party sneered.
The Black Tiger Gang was just one of the chess pieces they used? Just how strong was the other party?
"What if I tell you that I have two treasure maps? You should be very interested in this, right?”I said with a smile.
" I believe you won't destroy the blueprint…" The other party was very confident.
"Why?"
"Because you don't know how to."
"Is that so? If I told you I was in a bad mood, I might burn it. This thing is meaningless to me…"
"Wait for me. I'll come and find you in ten minutes.”The other party was finally willing to show up…
"Kid, you can't beat them.”The leader of the Black Tiger Gang spoke. "I don't think so," I said, pressing the gun against his temple. "Not to mention you, even your master, the leader of the White Wolf Gang, can only fight twenty rounds with the weakest person among them.”
How did he know about my relationship with the old man? And he even knows the old man's identity. Could it be that he knows everything about me like the back of his hand?
There was a slight and uniform sound of footsteps outside the door. I turned around and saw a man in a white casual suit and white sneakers walking in. I sized him up. He was only about three years older than me. His appearance was dignified and delicate, but he did not lose the heroic bearing of a man.
"Mu Jifeng, we finally meet.”He smiled. "Do we know each other?" I sneered.
"Perhaps you don't know me, but I've known you for a long time. At the age of eleven, you fought alone against the joint attack of five university bullies without learning martial arts. At the age of twelve, he became the disciple of the former leader of the White Wolf Gang and learned martial arts. In the same year, he single-handedly challenged the ruthless character who had been the champion of the three-time city free-fighting competition and won; At the age of thirteen, he broke the provincial records in the 100m sprint and marathon, but it was only because of the referee's mistake that he was not recorded. When he was fourteen, he and Xiao Tianjin had defeated a challenge from one of the three boxing champions. At the age of 14, he participated in a wild expedition with Xiao Tianjin. He was the first member of the team to successfully cross the jungle and endure the harsh living environment. At the age of fifteen, his martial arts had improved significantly, especially in kickboxing and swordsmanship. His internal energy cultivation was also not bad. At the age of 15, he participated in a world-renowned university's thinking competition with Xiao Tianjin. His spatial sense and model shocked the physicists and mathematicians who hosted the competition. At the age of fifteen, he made his first public appearance with Xiao Tianjin, Yifan, Zhiqian, and Guoluo, causing a sensation in the underground music circle. He was rated as the most talented and thoughtful young musician. At the age of 16, he could use his own thoughts to construct advanced physics and advanced mathematical formulas, as well as establish one-dimensional to four-dimensional spatial models. At the age of sixteen, he could skillfully use and master music, literature, drama, art, dance, and other arts. The classical music composed by 16-year-old and Zhi Qian had the ability to stimulate people's thinking; At the age of 16, he fought with Xiao Tianjin against more than 100 thugs from the Black Tiger Gang. The Twilight Maple who used the Golden Left Fist.”
Listening to him talk about me, I didn't expect him to know so much about me!
"I am Kong Shi of Gui Fu." As he spoke, he reached out his hand. I reached out my hand as well. The moment I touched it, my hand immediately went numb as if it had been electrocuted. It might be static electricity…
"Let's go back to the organization with me." he said. "Back to the organization?" I asked. "That's right. You're a ghost now, and so is your friend Xiao Tian Jin.”He smiled faintly. That kind of smile was very plain, but it also had a fatal seduction. Jin was also listed as a ghost talisman? "Why are you looking for us? We are not some top experts. There are many people with good skills." I said, still standing there. He turned around." You might not think that you're an expert, but we all think so. "Also, the other people who are good at fighting don't have your extraordinary thinking.”
I followed Kong Shi out of the house. Ten minutes later, we walked out of the old town and headed in an unknown direction. "Since you want Jin to join, why did you heavily injure him?”I asked Kong Shi.
"When you see him again, he is already stronger than before. I only opened up his meridians and let him experience that feeling on the verge of life and death to increase his strength.”Kong Shi told me.
I vaguely saw a car parked in the darkness. Kong Shi led me over and I saw that it was a roadster. He took out the remote control and pressed the start button. I sat in.
He started the accelerator and drove forward. "You'd better fasten your seatbelt." Kong Shi said. "Why?" Before I could finish asking, the car suddenly sped up from 70 to 240 miles per hour, and my body felt like it was floating.
Half an hour later, we arrived at another city. The car drove to a building. Kong Shi stopped the car and brought me into the building. The entire building was empty and eerily quiet. The dim safety lights were emitting a faint green light. When we reached the elevator, Kong Shi opened the elevator door. We stood in the elevator and watched the blood-red numbers rise rapidly.
A minute passed and the elevator stopped in midair. We walked out and reached the top floor. The corridor was very dark, and the end of the corridor could not be seen. It was even more terrifying.
"We're here." Kong Shi stopped at the door of an office. After he entered the password on the password reader at the door, the door automatically opened. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
Kong Shi walked in, and I followed behind him, but he suddenly disappeared into the endless darkness.
'I can't even see myself in this darkness…'
"This is your first lesson." Kong Shi's voice came from the darkness," Many times, you can't see your opponent due to the environment you're in, but you have to know where he is next to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you were attacked.”I listened to his words and immediately thought about it. When the eyes couldn't see, there were still ears.
I heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of bones rubbing when he clenched his fist. He was attacking me. The footsteps were on the right, so I immediately turned to the left. "Not bad." He smiled. Then he attacked me again. The footsteps were on the left, so I quickly turned right.
"Ah!" My chest suddenly felt like it was pressed down by a huge stone. Kong Shi's fist smashed into my chest. "Don't be so naive as to think that your opponent will use the same move after failing. Sometimes your judgment is wrong." It turned out that he had only created an illusion for me. In fact, he had attacked from the right.
I knew that when the other party attacked again, I would have to change my mind. Suddenly, Kong Shi's footsteps disappeared. Where was he? I went to search in the darkness again, but there was probably only darkness.
My neck was strangled by a hand that was like a steel rod. I couldn't breathe and could only feel my breathing getting weaker and weaker. "When your sight, hearing, and touch are all useless, what should you do?”He continued to strangle me." You have to learn to judge with your heart and feel with your heart.”After he finished speaking, he let go of me.
The room instantly lit up, and all the lights were switched on. The darkness was pierced by the light and disappeared before his eyes.
There were nine people in front of him, nine experts with mysterious auras. They should be members of Ghost Seal.
Kong Shi said to a young man who looked like a street dancer leaning on the sofa,""King, haven't you always wanted to fight with Mu Jifeng's Golden Left Fist? Isn't it possible now?" The man adjusted his wide hoodie, and the wide brim covered one-third of his slender face.
King got up from the sofa and stretched out his left hand from his jeans. A dazzling silver ring shone on his ring finger. "Shall we play?" He smiled. I raised my left hand and clenched my fist.
Before I could even blink, he had already rushed in front of me with lightning speed and his left fist ruthlessly smashed into my right shoulder.
"Ah!" I groaned in pain. I had never seen such a ruthless character. His attack was five times stronger than my left fist!
"You're more durable than I thought. Then I have to be more serious.”King made a slightly surprised expression. "What? You haven't used your full strength yet?”I was shocked. "I only used 30% of my power in that punch.”He smiled to himself, but his smile soon disappeared in the shadow of the brim of his hat.
He threw a punch at me, and I raised my fist to meet it. Since I couldn't dodge his speed, the only way was to meet it head-on. Perhaps I had a chance. I used all my strength and concentrated all my strength on the heart of my left fist. It even exceeded what I could withstand.
Just as the two fists collided, his left fist suddenly turned into a palm and grabbed my fist. I could only feel that my blood was unable to flow and my bones were about to be crushed by him.
"You haven't used your true ability yet? I hope you can be my real opponent next time.”As he spoke, he let go of my hand. At this moment, I felt that my entire left arm was numb. I had no strength to gather my strength in my palm.
"Welcome to Gui Fu, Sunset Maple.”A middle-aged man in a suit walked in. He was in his forties and looked very handsome.
I believe that many people will think that he is a high-level leader of a big company or a key member of the government.
"General." Kong Shi and the others respectfully called out to him. Could this person be the leader of Gui Fu? "I hope we can work together happily.”As he spoke, he walked to his desk and sat down.
"Steve, go make Kaede a cup of coffee.”He said to a young man who was leaning against the table and immersed in music. While listening to the music, he walked to the cabinet and made a cup of coffee.
Why were the members of Ghost Seal almost all very young, with an average age of around twenty years old? The general seemed to have noticed my confusion."The Ghost Symbol Organization will have new members joining from time to time. The old members will retire, and you will be one of our new members.”
"What treasure is described in the treasure map?”I asked. The general smiled." This is a treasure that very few people know about. However, almost everyone thinks that it is some kind of wealth. However, what I want to tell you is that this so-called treasure is a scripture that records an ancient curse.”
Curse? This was what they were looking for. I understood what the old man meant. This curse definitely couldn't fall into their hands. Even though I didn't know what this curse was, my instincts told me that I had to protect it. What should I do then…
The general took out three blueprints from his body. They had already collected three, and with the two in my hand, there were five. Where could he find the remaining three? The blueprints were scattered all over the world, and the old man spent more than ten years to collect one. It could be said that it was very difficult to find.
"As for the remaining three blueprints, we have already found the whereabouts of one of them.”Steve handed me the coffee." That drawing is in a museum, but those people don't know what it is. They just think it's some valuable cultural relic.”Kong Shi continued Steve's words,""Therefore, our mission this time is to take it out of the museum. I was stunned. Robbing a museum? The cup in her hand slipped. In a flash, Steve caught the cup, and the boiling black liquid did not spill. "Be careful." He handed me the cup."
"Unfortunately, Haruki Miyagi sacrificed himself in the last mission.”A person who was playing video games said. "Yeah, Miyagi Haruki is a great sniper. But, Keith, don't we have Xiao Tian Jin? He was also a great shooter, although his marksmanship was far inferior to that of Haruki Miyagi. But at least he's better than the gunners in the special forces. I believe that with his talent, he should be able to catch up to Haruki Miyagi soon, or even surpass him.”King said.
"Alright, this is the first time Mu Jinfeng is meeting us, you should introduce yourselves.”the general said to them. With his laptop in his arms, Keith said,""Gui Fu No. 7, hacker, responsible for network attacks and interference.”"Gui Fu No. 4, ninja, in charge of sneak attacks."”"Ghost Seal No. 6, Fighter, be in charge of the vanguard.”Steve said," No. 8 Ghost Talisman, left wing. You're in charge of attacking and defending on the left.”
"Ring, No. 10 Ghost Talisman, center, responsible for the overall structure.”A man with long hair who was trimming his nails said. "Xiao Yu, Gui Fu No. 7, Shadow, you are in charge of intelligence.”A fashionably dressed person who was sitting with another person and flipping through a thick book said," He is Big Dipper, Ghost Seal No. 3, right wing, responsible for right attack and right defense.”Xiao Yu pointed at the man in his thirties. A person who was standing by the window and looking at the night scene said to the person who was looking at the brightly lit city,""Black, Ghost Seal No. 5, Phoenix Tail, you will be responsible for covering the rear and providing support.”
"That is Jiang Zhi, Ghost Seal No. 2, a fake body.”Kong Shi pointed at a person sitting in the corner and said," I didn't notice him at first. He's an old man wearing sunglasses and holding a wooden crutch." "He can't see, he can't hear, he can't speak. However, don't think that he's just a disabled old man. He's a very powerful martial artist in our Gui Fu, and he also has astonishing intelligence.”Black said as he leaned against the window.
"Alright, you know all our members. " Three weeks later, we'll be preparing to retrieve the blueprint. You and Xiao Tianjin go ahead and prepare. We'll contact you at any time.”The general said," Steve, send Sunset Maple back to the old town.”
"Where are my friends?" I asked. And how did Pi die?" "Your friends have all returned to Urban area safely," Kong Shi said with a smile. As for Pi, he is a member of the Black Tiger Gang and has nothing to do with us. We are only using the Black Tiger Gang and now the Black Tiger Gang has no value. We killed Tu and the Jade Snake Gang, and I handled the square. I also killed the third brother of the deputy leader of the Plum Blossom Gang just to make you show yourself. But don't worry, we've always done a good job in this area and won't cause any trouble.”
"Do you believe that I will work for you wholeheartedly?”I asked. The general smiled faintly.”It seemed that the other party had already grasped everything that I was concerned about, as well as my thoughts. Now, I can only keep going and try again.
Steve took me to the elevator back to the ground floor. He walked into the garage and drove out in a high-end sports car. I got in and drove towards the old town. Steve said to me, who was sitting in the back row,"How about some music?" As he spoke, he took out a CD and put it into the record player. The intense rock music flew on the empty highway, leaving a broken echo along the way.
