Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

On the roof not far from the county government office, Shen Lin, dressed in night clothes, looked at the approaching Zijing and said in a deep voice, "Why did you start ahead of schedule?"

"It wasn't our people!"

Zijing shook her head in denial, then added:

"But with something like this happening, it's impossible to act according to the plan. I've already told them to start immediately."

As she spoke, several more fires suddenly broke out in Qiulin County.

Zijing's subordinates had already begun to act.

Watching the constables who had originally surrounded the county government office scatter in all directions, Shen Lin sighed and said, "Let's go then!"

At this moment, inside the prison, Hu Dongxing frowned tightly after listening to his subordinate's report, and said in a low voice, "Something's wrong! Why is it so quiet on ordinary days, but tonight so many fires have suddenly broken out."

The Zhang family's retainer next to him asked doubtfully, "County Constable Hu suspects that the thief's accomplices deliberately caused the chaos?"

"I can't rule out that possibility," Hu Dongxing replied, and said to the messenger, "Find someone immediately and call back all the constables who left the county government office."

"But... the fire is too big. If we don't help put it out, it might..."

"There's no might or might not!" Hu Dongxing waved his hand directly and said, "This thief is of great importance, and there can be no mistakes! Moreover..."

He turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man in the prison sitting opposite Cheng Yi and drinking wine, and said softly, "County Secretary Zhong is also here, we must protect his safety at all costs!"

Qiulin County's county government office has a large number of people, but the only true officials of the imperial court, registered in the official ranks, are two people.

County Magistrate Lin Youwei, rank 7.

County Secretary Zhong Baiyu, rank 8.

These two people are the true power holders in Qiulin County.

Compared to County Magistrate Lin Youwei, this County Secretary is not well-known throughout Qiulin County.

Because after taking office, he only cared about traveling around, composing poems and lyrics, and basically didn't care much about official affairs.

Even so, when this County Secretary brought good wine and food to the prison to send his subordinate Inspector Cheng off on his final journey, Hu Dongxing could only respectfully invite him in.

At this moment, the wounds on Cheng Yi's body had been simply treated, and he sat at the table, eating and drinking in silence.

Zhong Baiyu sat opposite him, with a young man in black standing behind him, not smiling.

"Inspector Cheng, are you satisfied with the wine and food?"

Zhong Baiyu didn't seem to care about the things the other party had done at all, and asked with great concern.

Cheng Yi picked up the wine pot and swallowed a few mouthfuls, then looked at the other party and said seriously, "County Secretary Zhong, I, Cheng, have disappointed you."

"Don't say that!"

Zhong Baiyu waved his hand and asked curiously, "Is the salary I usually give you not enough for your daily expenses? Why did you become a thief?"

Cheng Yi was silent for a while, and said, "I like to gamble and owe a lot of debts, so I had to take this risky move."

Zhong Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Let's just say that, then why did you hurt people when you were stealing?"

"He saw my face, I had no choice but to do it."

Zhong Baiyu shook his head, sighed, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I think Inspector Cheng's actions are not for those gold and silver treasures, I'm afraid... you were looking for something, right?"

Cheng Yi's chopsticks paused slightly, and he continued as if nothing had happened, "What could I be looking for? It's just for money!"

"You don't have anything you need to find, but other people..."

Zhong Baiyu looked at Cheng Yi with interest, but after saying half a sentence, he suddenly frowned, paused, and suddenly smiled, "Forget it, I won't disturb Inspector Cheng anymore. We can continue to talk about what we want to talk about later."

"Later?"

Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and said amusedly, "I will be executed tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to see County Secretary Zhong again."

Zhong Baiyu smiled slightly and didn't reply. After getting up, he left gracefully.

"County Secretary Zhong, are you leaving?"

Hu Dongxing asked with some doubt.

Why were they chatting so enthusiastically just now, and in the blink of an eye, he's about to leave?

"I'm leaving!"

Zhong Baiyu left a sentence and walked out directly.

Hu Dongxing hurriedly shouted behind him, "Please forgive this humble officer for being busy with official duties and unable to escort you. Farewell, County Secretary Zhong!"

Zhong Baiyu waved his hand, quickened his pace, and walked out of the prison in the blink of an eye.

After walking to the gate of the county government office, he turned his head, looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and said softly, "Go take a look later. If she encounters any difficulties, lend a hand appropriately."

The man in black who had been following him hesitated for a moment and said, "Understood!"

After saying that, he disappeared directly in place.

Zhong Baiyu turned around, walked alone on the street, and a slight smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems... I've made a friend."

......

After seeing Zhong Baiyu off, Hu Dongxing breathed a long sigh of relief.

If, as he expected, someone really came to rob the prison tonight, then the County Secretary staying here would make him very passive, and he wouldn't be able to fully use his strength.

Now that's good, he can...

Just as Hu Dongxing was thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his arrangement, a crisp bell sound echoed in the night sky.

"There's someone on the roof!!!!"

Hu Dongxing reacted instantly, roared angrily, and drew his long saber.

Having learned a lesson from the past, because the demon cultivator was silenced in front of his eyes before, Hu Dongxing specially modified the roof of the prison.

Thin ink-colored lines were arranged on the roof, even if a cat walked over, it would trigger the bell.

At this moment, on the roof, Shen Lin looked speechlessly at Zijing, who had tripped over the thin line, took a deep breath, and punched downwards.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the roof began to collapse, and Shen Lin rushed directly into the prison.

He had chosen his position well. Directly below him was the prison cell where Cheng Yi was being held.

But just as he saw Cheng Yi hiding in the corner, a bright and shiny broadsword had already slashed over.

Hu Dongxing's reaction was extremely fast, he had almost rushed over at the same time as the roof was broken open.

But facing Shen Lin at this moment, his strength was somewhat inadequate.

Shen Lin didn't even take any more action, he just used the Qingqiu Body Tempering Art to strengthen his index finger and gently tapped it on Hu Dongxing's sword.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, Hu Dongxing only felt a huge force acting on the blade, sending his entire person flying out.

At the same time, a figure passed by Hu Dongxing as he flew backwards.

The Zhang family's retainer, the Blood Hand Monk Wang Yuantong.

Having come from the Vajra Temple, he punched Shen Lin.

In response, Shen Lin also responded with a punch.

Bang!

Fists collided, Shen Lin landed steadily.

Wang Yuantong, on the other hand, flew directly out, his right fist twisted out of shape at this moment, and some broken bones even protruded from the flesh.

Hu Dongxing and Wang Yuantong, two Open Meridian Realm martial artists who were famous in Qiulin County, couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Shen Lin.

Watching the man in black grab Cheng Yi and rush out of the roof again, the two looked at each other, their faces full of frustration.
