Nightmare Apostle

After finishing the work in the town, Yang Xiao could not stay for long. After all, he had promised Taoist Qingfeng that he would not set foot on the territory of the Peace Hotel within three months. Now that the deadline has not yet arrived, he has broken the rules by coming here.

The three magic tools are inconvenient to carry, so after storing them separately in a special silver box, they are handed over to Ling Yanyu for safekeeping.

The silver box containing the teacup magic tool is taken out separately and marked. At the same time, Ling Yanyu is told that if he sees a short, child-like old Taoist coming to the door, he should give him the things in the box and let him accept them.

After handing over all the things to Ling Yanyu, Yang Xiao left alone before dawn. He first went back to the Qinghe Town Factory, thinking of carefully examining the golden snake and digging out everything he knew, but when he entered the mirror world, he found that the golden snake that was "stuck" to the wall had been unable to bear the pain and bit its tongue to commit suicide.

Now it was meaningless for him to stay, so he stopped a black car outside the town and drove all the way back to Rongcheng. When he arrived, it was already bright outside. Looking through the car window at the familiar streets of Rongcheng, a long-lost sense of relaxation emerged in his heart. Only in this city can he feel a little bit of home.

He had breakfast first, then went back to the apartment to take a hot shower, and slept comfortably on his familiar little bed. When he woke up again, it was already afternoon. He didn't know if his teammates in the patrol station had gone off work at this time, but Director Nalan Shuo must still be there. He changed into new clothes and planned to go to the patrol station to take a look and chat with the director.

This time, the time to go to Yunqi City was not short. After taking such a long leave, Nalan Shuo never urged him. Such a good leader is rare.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Patrol Office, Yang Xiao ran into Ximen Xiu, who was carrying several bags of takeout, in the lobby on the first floor. After seeing Yang Xiao, Ximen Xiu was about to burst into tears and cried to Yang Xiao, saying that the investigation team had recently suffered a big setback, and Beibei and Yu Shu were both injured and are still in the medical room.

"When did it happen?" Yang Xiao was shocked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Just yesterday, we knew that you, the captain, had your own things to do, and Beibei said not to disturb you." Ximen Xiu explained aggrievedly.

Following Ximen Xiu all the way to the medical room, he pushed open the door of the ward and saw that Beibei and Yu Shu were both there. Daxiong was sitting on a chair between the two beds, peeling an apple. Beibei was lying on the bed, with his right leg bandaged and hung up. Yu Shu's injured left arm was also tied and hung in front of his chest.

"The captain is back!" Beibei was chewing an apple, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yang Xiao coming back. Yu Shu was watching a drama and eating potato chips.

Seeing that the two were in good spirits, Yang Xiao finally put down his heart, and Daxiong immediately gave up his chair.

"Who did it?" Yang Xiao asked after sitting down.

"It was a wanted criminal. I don't know how he ran to our Rongcheng. Sister Bei and Yu Shu were waiting at an intersection. I didn't expect to run into him. It turned out like this." Daxiong explained the whole story to Yang Xiao.

"Did you catch him?"

At this point, Beibei looked embarrassed, but then smiled again, "No, he ran away."

As they were chatting, suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When they turned around, they saw Sister Wen pushing the door in, holding a basket of fruits in her hand. Sister Wen was not surprised to see Yang Xiao, but just smiled faintly, "Captain Yang, you are back."

"Sister Wen!" Seeing Sister Wen coming, Beibei showed a friendly smile, "Sister Wen, you are too polite, just come, what else do you want? "

Sister Wen nodded to Yang Xiao, then walked towards Beibei with the fruit basket, stretched out her finger and touched Beibei's forehead, and smiled, "You are the only one with a thief's eye among so many people." After that, she took out two envelopes from the fruit basket, stuffed one to Beibei first, and then turned around and put the other one on Yu Shu's pillow, "This is what the director applied for you specifically, not through public channels. When you recover from your injuries, there will be another one from above, so you can rest assured to recover."

Pinching the envelope with two fingers, Beibei's smile on his face became more and more unconcealed, "Sister Wen still loves us."

"It's not me, it's the director who knows it's not easy for you." Sister Wen said some considerate words, and then turned to look at Yang Xiao, "Captain Yang, the situation in the city is more complicated now. The director is waiting for you in the office, you go now."

Arriving at the director's office, Huang Qiang was also there. Seeing Yang Xiao coming, Nalan Shuo sent Huang Qiang away with a few words and let Yang Xiao in.

"Have you visited Beibei and the others? "Nalan Shuo, who was sitting on the sofa, put out his cigarette butt. The office smelled heavily of cigarettes, like a fairyland, with smoke everywhere and a map on the table.

"I've seen it." Yang Xiao said truthfully.

"What do you think?"

"This thief is too arrogant. He dared to attack our patrol officers. It would be inadequate to correct the atmosphere if he is not brought to justice." Yang Xiao stood at attention and answered decisively.

"This guy is much more arrogant than you think." Nalan Shuo pushed aside the cigarette box and pointed at the map. "Look, this man fled westward after killing someone in Yiling City. He killed 4 people who were chasing him along the way, and was beaten and injured even more."

"Yiling?" Yang Xiao frowned, "Isn't that the territory of Yiling Academy?"

"Yes, it's them. This person attacked a convoy transporting magic weapons belonging to Yiling Academy in Yiling City. Not only took away the treasures, but also killed several guards, and also killed a direct family member of Yiling Academy. The disciple was seriously injured and almost killed." Nalan Shuoshun. Looking at the red line marked on the map, he introduced the situation to Yang Xiao, "This wanted order was also issued by Yiling Academy through the Apostolic Federation. Due to the relationship between our Patrol Department and Yiling Academy, we have to assist this time. Also, I heard that the Chamber of Commerce is also planning to help.”

"Have all the three major forces come to an end?" Only now did Yang Xiao realize how big a fuss this incident had caused. It seemed that Yiling Academy had spent a lot of money to capture this person.

"Yeah, but we are just going through the motions. We can catch the best, and if we can't catch it, we can sell favors. Although Yiling Academy is one of the top three bookstores, it has also been in a state of flux since the disappearance of their old dean. It's getting worse every day," Nalan Shuo said bluntly.

When the conversation changed, Nalan Shuo looked at Yang Xiao and his tone became deeper, "Xiao Yang, this is an opportunity for you. I just received news that the superiors plan to set up a joint agency in Rongcheng for the purpose of In an emergency, we need to coordinate the cooperation between the three forces of the Patrol Department, the Apostolic Federation, and the Chamber of Commerce.”

“The level of the new organization is probably the same as that of the Apostolic Federation and the Chamber of Commerce, which is also the Vice-President. This new organization has a commissioner who is also the top leader of the new organization.

"We old people are inconvenient to serve because of our status and age. The new commissioner will be selected from the younger generation. In theory, one candidate will be selected from each of the three families. The candidates for the Apostolic Federation and the Chamber of Commerce have been basically determined. They are all your old acquaintances. ”

"The federation elected Fu Qingzhu, vice president of Xinpu, and the chamber of commerce chose Chi Dan. Her current position is secretary-general of the chamber of commerce. Only the choice of our patrol department was controversial. Director Huang recommended Qu Muzhi, and we Lift you up."

"Xiao Yang, you have a good resume and a clean net worth. Your previous performance is remarkable. Everyone sees it. Captain Yang from the Provincial Office and your Uncle Cui have many good words for you, but you It's still a little bit worse now,

A level difference. "

Nalan Shuo gave instructions step by step and tried his best to plan for Yang Xiao, "As long as you can do this well, catch or kill this person, I will immediately report to the Provincial Office to ask for credit for you, and use your past With the results, and with a little more work, a deputy-level captain will not be a problem. By then, you will have the capital to compete with Qu Muzhi. Once you win the position of joint commissioner, this will become a new starting point in your career. "

"Thank you, Director!" Nalan Shuo was thinking entirely about himself. He was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart for meeting such a good leader, Yang Xiao.

"Don't be too happy too early. This person is not weak in strength, but he has exhausted his energy due to running away and fighting in the past few days. As long as you are more careful, I won't have a problem in taking him down."

Nalan Shuo opened the map and revealed another map below. Yang Xiao took a quick look and saw that this was a map of the urban area of ​​Rongcheng. The entire city was divided into three parts by colored pens, marked with the words Lian, Xun, and Shang respectively. .

"This represents the defense areas of the three forces, is that what you mean?" Yang Xiao stared at the map, which is easy to understand.

"Yes." Nalan Shuo moved his finger to the center of the defense area marked with the word "Patrol", "This is the area where Beibei and the others were attacked. According to my judgment, this person was injured and must not have been able to run far. He should still be there now." In our defense zone, wait until nightfall to continue escaping Run away." Nalan Shuo focused on the next marked red circle, "If you move quickly, go here, intercept him, and kill him quickly. Once you let him go, he will escape into the defense zone of the Apostles Federation. , By then, it will be inconvenient for us to enter the federation’s defense zone to pursue them.”

The leaders have paved the road for him. Yang Xiao knows that once the opportunity is missed, it will no longer be available. "Don't worry, Director, I will not let you down!"

After saying that, Yang Xiao planned to leave. The soldiers were very fast. Although it was not yet night, he still wanted to go there to check the terrain, choose an excellent ambush point, and wait for the prey to come.

"Wait!"

Before he could go out, he was stopped by Nalan Shuo again. Yang Xiao turned around in surprise and saw Nalan Shuo getting up and rolling up the map on the table. He walked forward and stuffed the map into his arms, " Take it with you and be prepared.

After leaving the director's office, Yang Xiao took the elevator downstairs. When he arrived on the first floor, the door just opened and he saw Yu Shu standing outside the elevator door with his arm hanging, obviously waiting for him.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiao was curious, "Why don't you recuperate in the ward?"

Yu Shu raised the book in his hand and saw a sentence written on it: Sister Bei and I will take you there. The car is in the underground garage.

He followed Yang Xiao to the underground garage, where a black off-road vehicle was waiting for him. He opened the door and saw Beibei sitting in the back seat of the car with a pair of crutches next to him. Yu Shu walked to the passenger seat and Daxiong sat in the driver's seat. Wear sunglasses and drive.

After Yang Xiao got in the car, he subconsciously thought that Beibei Yu Shu couldn't swallow the bad breath and wanted to see Yang Xiao avenge them with his own eyes. But before he could say a few words, he realized that the atmosphere was wrong. Beibei hesitated for a moment and then spoke. , "Captain, can I ask you a favor?"

"You said it." Yang Xiao nodded.

"Can you please not kill this man?" Beibei added after finishing speaking, "What I mean is... try not to seriously injure him, just capture him alive."

"Why?" Yang Xiao was stunned. He remembered that the orders given by Nalan Shuo were as if they were alive and dead. In this case, the dead were obviously more cost-effective.

Swish, swish, swish. Yu Shu, the co-pilot, began to write. After putting down the pen, he raised the writing board with his only remaining right hand: That man is much stronger than us, but he only shot and injured me and Sister Bei. At that time, I was holding the gun with my left hand, and Sister Bei wanted to capture him with a scissor kick.

"That is to say, he didn't want to kill you, but just wanted to injure you to the minimum extent so that he could escape." Yang Xiao probably understood.

"Captain, I asked the doctor about the injuries of Sister Bei and Yu Shu. The injuries are very light. The bullet grazed the bones and only left a small hole. The doctor said that it was only a wound, not a disability, and it would be fine after a period of rest." Da Xiong said in a muffled voice without turning his head.

"Master." Yang Xiao understood, "He's also a very particular person."

"We are not his opponent, but he is definitely not your opponent, Captain. Please don't kill him. Yu Shu and I want to meet this person." After a pause, Bei Bei explained, "Of course, if the situation changes, Captain, you have to do your best. Yu Shu and I are just thankful for his mercy, but you are our brother."

"I understand." Yang Xiao nodded and agreed, "I will try my best to spare his life, but if he resists arrest violently, you can't blame me."

With his current level, Yang Xiao also felt that he was qualified to say such things. Now, ordinary Li-level apostles are not even in his eyes, and this person has come all the way here, killing and injuring mostly Yuan-level apostles. Moreover, he has been on the run for so long, and he is injured. His current strength is good enough to be half of his peak period, and he is about the top of the Li-level. The old guy he killed last night was more than this level.

After coming out of the dark competition, Yang Xiao's mental strength has also improved. Although it is not as fast as the real nightmare world, it is also rare. Think about it, he has used magic tools so frequently recently, it seems that the next nightmare mission is not far away. Yang Xiao has a hunch that he may receive a ghost script in the next few days.

"Puh, puh, puh..." Yang Xiao cursed in his heart, "Crow's mouth! I, Yang Xiao, have been doing good deeds since I was young, and I will never receive that kind of dirty things in my life!"

After arriving at the place, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yang Xiao got off the car alone. He walked around nearby and found a cafe along the street to sit and drink coffee.

While drinking coffee and observing the movements nearby, Yang Xiao was not in a hurry. He was waiting for nightfall, and that guy must be waiting too.

He believed in Nalan Shuo's judgment. This was a good leader worth relying on. Nalan Shuo treated him well. If there is a chance in the future, he must repay him.

Before leaving, Nalan Shuo promised Yang Xiao that he was the only one guarding the area, and the other two families would not send anyone to disturb him. This was a disguised way of telling Yang Xiao that he could let go and use his own magic weapons that were inconvenient to display. As long as he did it cleanly afterwards, there would be no problem.

After studying this person's behavior, Yang Xiao focused on the rotten factory area behind the street, which was very suitable for hiding. Although the captain had searched it for a hundred days and found nothing, it strengthened his confidence that this person was hiding there.

It was completely dark, and Yang Xiao walked out of the coffee shop, his figure disappeared into the night. With the help of the soul-capturing mirror, he quietly sneaked into the rotten factory area, where there were many abandoned factories, some of which had collapsed iron roofs, and the rusty fence gates were closed. There was a sign on the door, most of which reminded people not to enter dangerous buildings, and those who violated the rules would bear the consequences.

With the help of puddles and glass plates everywhere, Yang Xiao shuttled through the abandoned factory area like a ghost. With seven top-grade magic tools, including a theatrical robe, a ghost whisk, a human bone stick, a Taoist ghost, a soul-catching mirror, a kitchen knife, and a ghost lantern, Yang Xiao felt more powerful than ever before.

After dealing with this guy and getting the status of the Joint Special Agency Operations Specialist, Yang Xiao would have made a name for himself.

"Why write ghost stories in the future? With my good sister in hand, I, Yang Xiao... will tell the most terrifying stories!!"
