Chapter 31: Cover-up
At the entrance of the underground parking garage, the silhouettes of people are gathering.
Li Dongze, with a cane in one hand and a gun in the other, rushed into the underground parking garage and quickly scanned the scene with his sharp eyes.
The first thing he saw was the unconscious Xu Yingying, then the not-so-obvious bloodstains on the ground, and several private cars with body damage. As a scout, it was not difficult for Li Dongze to see that a brief but vicious battle had taken place here.
The fact that Xu Yingying was not dead, on the other hand, meant that the situation was not at its worst.
Several Spirit Realm Walkers swept over the scene with the same vigilance and speed, and then, in a whirlwind, they saw a figure step out from a short distance to the shadows of the rear of the car.
Instantly, everyone instinctively turned their guns to aim at him.
"Don't shoot, it's me ......"
Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly raised his hands high while sizing up the Spirit Realm Walkers beyond Guanya and Li Dongze.
The burly man in a fitness suit looked like a gym instructor, at least one meter nine in height, his muscles swelled with a sense of strength, and he wore red half-finger gloves on his hands.
The beautiful woman wearing an ink-painted cheongsam, pulling her classical hair in a bun, with a graceful and graceful body, her age doesn't look small, but her face is well-maintained with a fair and delicate face, with no wrinkles in sight.
Wearing a miner's cap, dressed in dark brown construction site clothing of middle-aged men, dark skin, full of frost.
Wearing a white racing suit of young women, melon face, white skin, eyebrows color thick flying, heroic, hand carrying a black long knife.
The other two gunmen, their temperament and appearance were nothing special.
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing who came out from the shadows, Li Dongze and Guanya's taut expressions visibly loosened as if they were relieved.
After finishing the meeting, they received a call from Wang Tai, saying that Yuan Qi had discovered Ou Xiang Rong at Song Hai University, and that the other party had hijacked Xu Ying Ying in order to do something untoward.
Li Dongze and Guanya were startled, and immediately called on the few captains who hadn't dispersed yet and hurriedly rushed to Songhai University.
Li Dongze had a taut face and a heavy heart along the way, fearing that Yuan Shi would have a hot head and strike regardless.
After a newcomer becomes a Spirit Realm Walker, the first time they experience transcendent power, they tend to become inflated, and coupled with shallow experience and not knowing the depths, they tend to get carried away.
At this moment, both of them were relieved to see Zhang Yuanqing unharmed.
"He's that Nightwalker?"
The impatient Big Muscle Buster first asked Li Dongze, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he looked around the underground parking garage and asked in a gruff voice:
"Kid, where is Ou Xiangrong, which way did he escape?"
In his opinion, a level 3 Demon of Compulsion was not something a level 1 Night Wanderer could deal with, and after the two sides briefly exchanged blows, Ou Xiangrong fled in a hurry for fear of the official Spirit Realm walkers arriving.
If Ou Xiangrong hadn't fled for a long time, if they pursued at this moment, they might be able to catch up with the tracking ability of the scouts.
Li Dongze, Guanya, and several captain-level figures stared at Zhang Yuanqing, waiting for his reply.
"He didn't escape!" Zhang Yuanqing said.
Didn't escape? The crowd was in awe, and they raised their guns, looking left and right in consternation and vigilance.
Then they heard this rookie, who had just joined the profession, point to the shadows behind him and say, "He was killed by me."
What did he say? Fire Master Big Muscle Buster almost had to pull out his ears, wondering if he had a hearing problem, he whirled around and his violent temper got the better of him, urning his voice and saying angrily:
"Don't joke with me, this is not an occasion for you to show off your humor."
Li Dongze and the others were also stunned, then frowned, looking at Zhang Yuanqing with a little more caution in his eyes.
Why are you so fierce, can't you talk properly? You guy wouldn't be from the Red Fire Gang, right ........? Zhang Yuanqing patiently explained:
"I'm not lying, his body is at the back of the car, if you don't believe me, go over and see for yourself."
Big Muscle Bully looked over there for a moment, the pillars protruding out of the wall and the body of the car formed cross shadows, and he couldn't see the situation in the corner from his position.
Instantly he was about to go over and check it out.
"Wait," the middle-aged man with a miner's cap on his head stepped forward, swept a glance at Zhang Yuanqing, and said to the lanky man, "I'll go look."
Seeing his fellow colleague's grave face, the big muscle man seemed to have remembered something, looked at Zhang Yuanqing warily, and nodded his head.
Zhang Yuanqing noticed that Li Dongze and Guanya looked a bit strange, while the gazes of the others were tinged with undisguised wariness.
At this moment, the middle-aged man wearing a miner's cap on his head approached the rear of the car with a slow but steady pace, then he stared blankly at a certain place, his eyes wide as if he were a clay sculpture.
"Boss Tang?"
Big Muscle Buster watched his companion reveal a stunned and bewildered look, his heart flinched, his upper body muscles suddenly expanding, ready to strike.
The several captains of Qingtou White Dragon were immediately on guard.
Tang Guoqiang's appearance looked like the way he looked when he encountered compulsion.
But soon, they saw Tang Guoqiang "recovered", stooped down and dragged out a corpse, dragged under the spotlight, dragged into the line of sight.
This body wearing loose camouflage pants, black undershirt, black jacket, face bloody, eye sockets hollow, the outline of the features can be vaguely identified identity, is indeed Ou Xiangrong.
The underground parking garage was quiet for a moment, and the crowd stared blankly at Ou Xiangrong's body.
Li Dongze's expression transformed a little bit from serious to stunned, muttering:
"Oh my god, my god ......."
Guanya looked at the corpse and then at Zhang Yuanqing, and then she thought of something, pondering.
The beautiful woman wearing an ink-painted cheongsam, stepping on her high heels and walking briskly, she stopped by the corpse and after scrutinizing it carefully, she pursed her lips and said:
"It is indeed Ou Xiangrong."
After saying that, she looked up at Zhang Yuanqing with some complexity.
Big Muscle Buster's eyes rolled up and he opened his mouth to say, "How did you do it?"
Several captains' gazes were focused on Zhang Yuanqing, repeatedly sizing up the fact that Ou Xiangrong had actually been taken out by a level 1 little guy, despite the fact that this person was not at his peak due to serious injuries.
This was a great feat for the second team, what kind of luck did Li Dongze have? Recruiting such an outstanding subordinate.
How did you do it? Isn't this just a matter of having shoes ...... Zhang Yuanqing didn't reply but looked at his superior.
Li Dongze immediately stepped forward and coughed:
"Yuanqing, well done, you have made a great achievement, just a moment ago, when you couldn't contact us, we were being scolded by our superiors in the conference room."
These words were a good distraction, and several captains had relaxed smiles on their faces, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Zhang Yuanqing squinted at him, "Then why did you guys point your guns at me just now."
"Demons of Compulsion in the Transcendent Realm can briefly affect a person's mind, if they are given a certain amount of time to repeatedly compel and deepen their influence, they can achieve the effect of manipulating their target. Compared to believing that you killed Ou Xiangrong, we feel that it is more likely that you were compelled." The young woman in a white racing suit, carrying a knife, came and looked Zhang Yuanqing up and down, nodding her head in satisfaction:
"We were all wrong, introduce yourself, White Dragon, Level 3 Water Demon."
This female captain had an unspeakable valor, the reserve and squirming of a woman could not be seen on her, looking around with a godly vigor, as if anyone was a stinky brother.
"Yuan Shi Tian Zun." Zhang Yuanqing said.
The several captains froze for a moment, "Good name ......"
Good indeed, the very sound of it made people want to beat him up.
White Dragon laughed, "Let's call you Yuan Shi, okay, I've always thought that boys your age would take strange and weird names."
"Like what?" Zhang Yuanqing smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
White Dragon was stunned, not expecting this boy to be so self-conscious and actually ask himself a rhetorical question. In theory, in the face of a superior's flirtation, shouldn't a normal person be modest for a few sentences or have a restrained face.
"Like the big muscle bully." Guanya came along with a smile and picked up the conversation for Bailong.
Big Muscle Bully: "...... The meaning of my name is: dominant muscle."
"That's what I mean ah." Guanya had a face of innocence.
Big Muscle Bully was speechless.
While they were talking, several more Official Spirit Realm Walkers hurriedly arrived, carrying stretchers and body bags in their hands.
They had just received a call that the murderer had been killed, so they rushed over to mortuary, and by the way, carried Xu Yingying out as well, sending her to the hospital for treatment.
Li Dongze did not delay any longer and said, "Yuan Shi, you come back with us to take a look at Ou Xiangrong's memories."
"No, can't let him come." Tang shook his head:
"Ou Xiangrong was contaminated by an evil force, and we're not sure if his spirit body suffered contamination as well. In addition, the Demon of Compulsion is bloodthirsty and brutal, and his spirit body's negative energy is strong, it's not something he can withstand. Yuan Ting will return to Songhai in the afternoon, just leave it to him."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the encounter with the devouring spirit body in the hospital, and there was a pang of scorn, but on second thought, the passage of him killing Ou Xiangrong would be seen by the other night wanderers if they saw it.
The Red Dancing Shoes wouldn't be able to hide it, of course, it wasn't that once it was exposed, it would definitely attract contention and covetousness, but one should still keep a low profile.
"It's not a problem, I'll find a way to defuse it for him." Li Dongze waved his hand in a strong manner and said:
"Ou Xiangrong's memories are important, the sooner we ask the spirit, the better. We can't tell how much memory a contaminated spirit can still retain."
Tang Guoqiang thought about it and nodded slightly.
He still didn't agree with Li Dongze's approach, but the person was killed by their second team and had the right to dispose of him.
At this time, the beautiful woman in the cheongsam came forward and asked with concern:
"Are there any injuries? Do you need treatment."
Her tone was gentle and her attitude was eager, as if Zhang Yuanqing was her beloved.
Li Dongze smiled and introduced:
"This is Captain Qingteng of the Hundred Flowers Society, specializing in healing, within the Five Elements Alliance, the Wood Demons are also known as Reply Warlocks, so feel free to talk to her about any injuries you have."
Reply Warlock? Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself that this Reply Warlock of yours is positively unorthodox ah, will it force others to seize the future?
Li Dongze went on to introduce the lanky strong man and the miner's hat:
"Big Muscle Buster of the Red Fire Gang, and Tang Guoqiang of the Atrium. Both captains are experienced Spirit Realm walkers."
Sure enough, the Red Fire Gang's ...... Zhang Yuanqing immediately said, "Hello, two captains, please take care of them."
Big Muscle Buster nodded in satisfaction:
"Do you want to add a friend?"
"This is fine!" Qingteng and White Dragon nodded in agreement.
Tang didn't say much, but took the lead in pulling out his cell phone.
Li Dongze's mouth twitched.
After Zhang Yuanqing and the several captains added their friends, Li Dongze said:
"Let's send the body back first, the rest of the team will stay behind and cooperate with the vigilantes to clean up the scene. Yuanqing, you take Guanya's car back to your unit and write a report up."
A few moments later, the official Spirit Realm Walker drove into the underground parking garage in a business car and blue sports car.
"Shishang, can I ride in your business car." Zhang Yuanqing had something he wanted to say to Li Dongze alone, such as asking him to delete the surveillance content.
"No, you're too dirty now, not elegant enough." Li Dongze shook his head and refused, turning to look at the several captains, "Let's go back together."
Zhang Yuanqing opened his mouth, wanting to speak, and finally watched helplessly as Li Dongze and the captains left in a commercial vehicle.
Guanya's eyes flickered as she glanced at him and laughed:
"Shishang took away all the people who were in the way, let's go, I'll take you to delete the surveillance."
...... Zhang Yuanqing looked at him with his eyes and nose.
.......
The blue sports car sped through the spacious streets, Guanya wore sunglasses and held the steering wheel, humming a small tune in her mouth, seemingly in a good mood.
She tsked:
"You kid is so lucky, you just became a Spirit Realm Walker and got a Rule Class prop."
She felt that she was also lucky, having just lacked merit badges, she came to merit badges.
"Did you guys know this already?" Zhang Yuanqing was not embarrassed, but instead delivered a horse's ass, "Scouting deserves to be the most perfect profession."
As someone who was good at socializing, he was able to adjust his mindset well.
"It was just a guess before, remember, insight is the talent of a scout." Guanya laughed, "The fact that you were able to understand my hints to conceal the rule-based props means that you're not too stupid."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately side-stepped:
"The organization won't make me turn in my props."
"It won't force it, but if you voluntarily turn it in, the organization will gladly accept it and reward you with merits and money. But the human heart is complicated, you're a rookie holding rule-based props in your hands, spreading the word will definitely attract some people to take desperate measures."
Guanya sagely taught, "The shiksa can hide it for you for a while, but not for a lifetime, you can consider finding yourself a backer, such as a superior's superior."
"That centurion can cover me?" Zhang Yuanqing said in his heart, how can you guarantee that the superior's superior won't see the treasure.
"That guy comes from a rich family, grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, he is high-minded and proud, I don't know about the other deacons, but I can still guarantee his character." Guanya laughed:
"And that guy always boasts of convincing people with virtue, in reality, he likes to spread coins, he is a big dog, a rule-based prop is not enough to shake his pride.
"But he has high eyesight, he can't look at ordinary people and likes elite talents."
Zhang Yuanqing let out a "hmmm", didn't agree or reject, skimming over the topic.
Guanya grunted twice:
"You've made a big splash today, after your deeds spread, within the Five Elements Alliance, there will surely be people digging for you both explicitly and implicitly. Be careful of beauty tricks, there have been instances of color seduction in the past, those two female captains were quite interested in you."
Zhang Yuanqing said righteously, "I am loyal to the second team, I will never fall for a beauty trick."
Unless one can't help it! He added in his heart.
"But you're a Scorpio." Guanya bristled.
Huh? What does this have to do with Scorpio ...... Zhang Yuanqing was at a loss.
"Ever heard of the astrological proverb, Pisces male dogs don't talk about it, Scorpio male dogs are on it."
"......."
............
In the black business car, Li Dongze personally drove the car, he eyed the front and said with a big smile:
"Oops, oops, accidentally finished everyone's work, I'm a member of the team, it's not fair, I'm sorry ah everyone, didn't let you get the credit."
What are you complacent about ...... The four captains' faces darkened.
"When the bonus comes down, I'll treat everyone to dinner." Li Dongze laughed, "Don't be envious everyone, it's all coincidence, this kid passed the She Spirit Tunnel by coincidence, and killed Ou Xiangrong by coincidence, it's no big deal."
"You talk like you owe a beating." Big Muscle Buster urned.
"Be graceful and don't be so grumpy all the time. I'll report to Centurion Fu first."
He pulled out his cell phone in the gazes of the captains who wanted to punch someone and dialed Centurion Fu's number.
In the Ou Xiangrong incident, because of their mistakes, Centurion Fu had taken no small risk.
Now that Ou Xiangrong had been killed, as a subordinate, he had to report it up in time.
This kid, Yuan Shi, had given him too much face.
