Stop In The Deep Sea

"Come here and give me a shoulder squeeze~" Xu Meng leaned on the sofa and said lazily.

That voice was as charming as a ripe peach.

If he had heard this sentence in other places, Lao Scar would have become excited.

But at this moment, he was so frightened that he was covered in sweat.

Who is the other party?

That was Xu Meng, who was at the same level as his boss - Cheng Ye! Xu Meng, one of the twelve owls of the Mimicry Alliance!

How dare he pinch Mr. Xu's shoulders? Isn't this looking for death?

With his thick old scar, he could kill people, but he couldn't serve them.

But he had to obey the other party's orders.

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Scar wiped the sweat from his bald head with his suit and stepped forward cautiously.

He walked behind the sofa, tentatively put his hand on Xu Meng's shoulder, and pressed it gently.

From this angle, the scenery is unobstructed.

But Lao Scar was not in the mood to appreciate it.

Half of his mind was focused on the intensity of squeezing his shoulders with both hands, not daring to be too hard or too gentle; the other half of his mind was thinking about the purpose of Mr. Xu calling him here today.

In the Mimicry Alliance, twelve lords are in charge of the twelve regions, and their subordinates do not interfere with each other.

Lao Scar's immediate boss is Cheng Ye. Logically speaking, Mr. Xu should not assign tasks to him. So why did Mr. Xu call him here today?

After a while, Xu Meng stretched, opened her lips and yawned.

"Well, comfortable~"

She glanced back.

"I have always heard that Cheng Ye said that he has an old scar under his hand, that he is diligent and reliable, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today."

Lao Scar stopped his hands and rolled his eyes: "Mr. Xu is so complimentary. If you need anything, just ask me."

The two of them have actually met several times, but since Xu Meng said this, he must not just understand the superficial meaning. He probably needs Lao Scar to do something, so before doing it, give him a sweet date and praise him.

People at their level like to communicate in a cryptic manner and only speak three points.

When Xu Meng heard this, she laughed twice with satisfaction, then pointed to the corner sofa next to her and motioned for him to sit down with a look.

Lao Scar walked around to the front, hesitated for a while but didn't dare to sit down, and stood aside honestly.

Xu Meng put away her smile and said seriously: "I called you here today for two things."

"Please speak."

"First thing, the alliance leader asked me to see how Cheng Ye is recovering. I'm too lazy to move. You are his right-hand man, so you naturally know better than me."

After hearing this, Lao Scar carefully thought about the meaning of Xu Meng's words, thinking that he was too lazy to move. He clearly didn't want to see Mr. Cheng and wanted to put aside his relationship with Mr. Cheng.

As far as he knew, Cheng Ye and Quan Henan seemed to have a very close connection with an organization called the Palace of Hell, and the others in the Twelve Owls were extremely repulsive to this organization.

So on weekdays, Lao Scar only had close contact with Quan Henan's men, and had little contact with others.

But the secrets at that level were beyond his reach, and Lao Scar didn't bother to care.

As long as you do what you are doing well, carry out Mr. Cheng's instructions, and put the money you deserve in your pocket, that's all.

"Mr. Cheng has almost recovered now. He just took advantage of the dormant period to transplant the second piece of elastic mithril. It is estimated that he will wake up in a few days." Lao Scar lowered his head and said.

Hearing this answer, Xu Meng's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, but she regained her composure instantly, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

After a while, she continued to speak.

"The second thing is, I want to ask you for a favor."

Lao Scar quickly answered: "You are out of touch now. I can share Mr. Xu's worries because Mr. Xu thinks highly of me, Lao Scar. Just ask, and I will do my best."

When Xu Meng heard this, she smiled coquettishly.

Then, she pointed to the dark place next to her.

Lao Scar was confused and looked in the direction she pointed. The spotlight above his head only illuminated a small area near the sofa, and he couldn't see anything in the dark surroundings.

He walked over, and after a few seconds, his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and Mu Ran saw two tied-up people at his feet.

Among them, the man was covered in blood, and his long hair was messy and covered his face. The other woman's condition was slightly better. There were no wounds on her body, but her face was pale and she seemed to be frightened.

Lao Scar squatted on the ground and used his fingers to peel off the hair on the man's face, distinguishing it carefully, but did not recognize the man's identity.

He turned around and asked in confusion: "Mr. Xu, is this...?"

Xu Meng stood up and said while pacing: "Why did you forget your water ghost brother so quickly?"

When Lao Scar heard this, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Needless to say, the grudge between the two of them was gnashing their teeth in their dreams, wanting to eat each other alive.

Unexpectedly, the water ghost finally fell into his hands today.

"Is this the true appearance of the water ghost?" Lao Scar stood up and asked, with a cruel smile on his face.

Xu Meng crossed her arms in front of her chest and nodded: "This is the person."

She continued: "The second thing is that I hope you can investigate the 'Ancient Locust of Life'."

Lao Scar scratched his bald head and asked doubtfully: "The Ancient Locust Tree of Life? Is it the legendary sacred tree?"

"That's right."

"Mr. Xu, why do you suddenly want to investigate the ancient Sophora japonica of life?"

After Lao Scar said this, he suddenly realized that he was talking too much, and quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, Lao Scar will do his best to investigate."

Although he said this, Lao Scar started to murmur in his heart.

Isn't this a joke?

The sacred tree is just a legend, how can it be possible to find out the results of the investigation.

Regarding this sacred tree, there is an extremely mysterious legend in the ancient martial arts world.

According to legend, the ancient locust tree once appeared in the mysterious East, and its trunks contained extremely pure spiritual energy.

Just one locust leaf can make flesh grow on white bones and rejuvenate dead trees.

At that time, this legend caused quite a stir. If true, it would be enough to cause a bloody storm in the ancient martial arts world.

Lao Scar had investigated it four or five years ago. At that time, ancient martial arts were at their peak, and everyone wanted to find the sacred tree and get a chance.

Unfortunately, there is very little news related to it, and ultimately nothing was found.

I don’t know why Mr. Xu suddenly re-investigated the matter, and what it has to do with the water ghost in front of him.

Xu Meng seemed to have noticed Lao Scar's doubts, and immediately said: "The real name of the water ghost is Wang Xin. He knows the secret of the ancient locust tree of life. As long as you torture him severely, you will definitely be able to find out something."

Lao Scar suddenly realized, and then he leaned over and said: "Old Scar will not let Mr. Xu down."

"That's very good." Xu Meng picked up the wine glass on the side and took a sip, "Mr. Cheng is in a dormant state, and no one will take you to familiarize yourself with the new headquarters. In this way, let Xiaohai take you around for a while, and I will Send these two people to the interrogation room."

Lao Scar bowed his head and thanked him. He knew that the Xiaohai Mr. Xu was talking about was the waiter who just brought him here.

After leaving the room, Lao Scar spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the wall next to him, with a fierce face on his face, and said to himself:

"Damn it, it turns out your name is Wang Xin, and you even tricked me into calling yourself a water ghost. Water, you damn ghost, finally fell into my hands this time. I will make you a real water ghost."
