Chapter 522: The Underworld Tracks and Reveals a Surprising Plan
The giant pink chicken rushed around with a "cluck-cluck" sound, knocking the men in black to the ground. The scene was very funny for a while.
Wu Hen stood on the chicken's back, arrogantly commanding this pink "mount", with a lot of inner drama: "Tremble, mortals! Feel the fear from another world!"
The system popped up at the right moment to make its presence felt: "Congratulations, host, for completing the 'Pink Storm' mission. Reward: one ton of chicken feed! Please keep up the good work, host!"
Wu Hen complained furiously in his heart: "Chicken feed? Are you kidding me? What use would I have for this thing?! Can't you come up with something more practical, like a more powerful mount?"
In the chaos, Lin Qiye grabbed Wu Hen and pointed at the flash of metal reflection on the back seat of a black car not far away: "There's a gun."
Yunari also saw it, her face suddenly turned pale, and she nervously grabbed Lin Qiye's sleeve: "Qiye, they... they have guns! What should we do?"
Wu Hen jumped down from the giant pink chicken, brushed off the non-existent dust, and stroked his chin, pretending to be serious: "Tsk, it seems that things are not simple. Following, carrying guns... Could it be the underworld?"
Yunari's eyes widened: "The underworld? Could it be... those from before?"
She recalled the gangster incident she had encountered with Lin Qiye before, and felt even more uneasy.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, and various possibilities flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed: "No! This is not an ordinary gangster revenge! They and the police..."
"With the police?" Wu Hen and Yunari asked in unison.
Lin Qiye said solemnly, "I suspect this is a setup. The police and the underworld are colluding, using the relics as bait to set a trap..."
He paused, glanced at the two of them, and said word by word: "And we are the target."
Yunali took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qiye in disbelief: "How...how is this possible?"
Wu Hen suddenly smiled, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Interesting! Looks like there's going to be something good to watch tonight!"
He turned to look at Lin Qiye, a sly smile on his lips, "Brother Qiye, it's been a while since we fought side by side, right?"
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and nodded, a sharp look flashing in his eyes: "Let's go and meet them." He glanced in the direction of Yamazaki Bridge and said meaningfully, "Let's solve it there tonight."
Lin Qiye's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the surroundings.
He clearly noticed that the men in black were not just chasing them blindly, but were intentionally or unintentionally driving the three of them towards the Yamazaki Bridge.
"They are preparing for both scenarios. First, they use the underworld as a cover to attract our attention, and then they use the special terrain of the Yamazaki Bridge to catch them in a trap!" Lin Qiye said in a low voice, analyzing the layout of the underworld.
Yunari's pretty face turned pale when she heard this. Her small hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes and she said anxiously, "Then... then haven't we really fallen into their trap? What should we do?"
She looked up and around, and felt the air become heavy, like an invisible cage.
Wu Hen was not panicked at all, but smiled and patted Lin Qiye's shoulder.
He spoke in a veteran tone, "Brother Qiye, I know your tactics! They want to play the game of 'closing the door and beating the dog'? Then let's turn the tables and directly wipe out their lair!"
In his heart, he was madly complaining: "System, this gangster is quite good at playing games. Can't they give me a golden finger that can instantly kill everyone?"
"Like, like One Punch Man? That would save me from all that effort every day!"
The system responded unyieldingly, "Host, please note that 'One Punch Man' is too brainless and doesn't fit the 'anti-routine' training path tailored for you by this system! Now issuing the quest: 'Outsmart the Mafia'. Reward: A random exotic creature summoning card! Please perform your best!"
Wu Hen rolled his eyes inwardly and reluctantly accepted this "weird" task. "Alright, it's 'weird' so be it. It's better than nothing at all."
He turned his head with a playful smile on his face and said to Lin Qiye,
"Brother Qiye, what do you think we should do now? Should we just charge out and fight them head-on? Or...find another way?"
Lin Qiye looked at the Yamazaki Bridge vaguely visible in the distance, his expression solemn, a hint of determination between his brows: "Running away is not the solution to the problem. Since they want to play, we will accompany them to the end." He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a "crackling" sound.
Yunari looked at the serious expressions on Lin Qiye and Wu Hen's faces, and her worries grew even stronger, but she also knew that now was not the time to retreat. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and followed closely behind the two of them.
Wu Hen stroked his chin, scanned his surroundings, and muttered to himself, "It seems this game is unavoidable. In that case, let these guys have a taste of the despair that comes from 'anti-routine'!"
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a cunning gleam in his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed. He stared ahead and said in a low voice, "Strange, they...seem to be waiting for something?"
Wu Hen followed Lin Qiye's gaze and noticed something was wrong.
There was an unsettling atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm. In the next second, something bad would happen.
"Waiting to watch the show? Okay, the show is about to begin..."
A strange smile appeared on Wu Hen's lips. He slowly raised his hand, and a strange-looking creature loomed in his hand, uttering a chilling whisper...
"Capturing him alive is a good idea!" Wu Hen snapped his fingers. "Brother Qiye, can I borrow your car roof?"
Without waiting for Lin Qiye's response, Wu Hen darted over to the taxi, opened the door, and said to the bewildered driver, "Master, can I borrow your roof for a bit? I'll give you a big red envelope when the job is done!"
Before the driver could react, Wu Hen had already jumped onto the roof of the car.
He took out a highlighter, muttered something, and began to draw strange patterns on the roof of the car.
The driver leaned out his head and looked at the increasingly bizarre patterns on the roof. His face turned pale with fear: "You...what are you doing? What the hell are you drawing on my roof?! Get off right now!"
Wu Hen didn't even raise his head, his hands moving non-stop while he said, "Don't panic, Master. I'm drawing a magic circle and will take you flying later! Just imagine, your taxi turning into a magical chariot, wouldn't it be cool?"
As he spoke, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it into the driver's hand. "This is a deposit. There will be a big reward after the job is done!"
The driver's eyes widened as he looked at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand.
He swallowed, his original anger instantly vanishing, replaced by a broad smile: "Master..., please just paint! Just tell me what you need! I promise to cooperate fully!"
Wu Hen nodded with satisfaction and quickened his movements.
Fluorescent green lines intertwine on the roof, forming a complex pattern that emits a strange light.
"It's done!" Wu Hen shouted softly, and the magic circle suddenly lit up, and a powerful energy wave spread from the roof of the car.
Lin Qiye and Yunari also came to the side of the car, looking at the magic circle emitting light on the roof, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Yunari couldn't help but ask, "What is this? It's amazing!"
Wu Hen smiled mysteriously: "Secret weapon! You will know it later!"
He turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Brother Qiye, are you ready? The show is about to begin..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a roar of engines in the distance, and several black cars came speeding towards them, obviously heading towards them.
Wu Hen had an evil smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"It's finally here..." He stretched out his hand and waved gently, "Mummy brother, prepare to appear!"
A withered arm slowly stretched out from the magic circle...
The taxi driver looked at the strange green light on the roof and the withered arm that slowly stretched out, and was so scared that he almost threw the steering wheel away.
He asked tremblingly, "Master, what...what on earth is this?"
Wu Hen chuckled, patted the driver's shoulder, and said mysteriously, "Don't panic, Master, this is just an appetizer! The main event is coming next! By the way, how are your skills? Can you give us a Fast and Furious?"
Lin Qiye looked at the trouble Wu Hen was making on the roof of the taxi, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. After all, this guy always did something unexpected.
He walked to the car door and said to the driver, "Master, please drive to the Yamazaki Bridge. It's more suitable for 'chatting' there."
When the driver heard they were going to the Yamazaki Bridge, he panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there's a speed limit there! If you get caught, you'll be fined!"
Wu Hen poked his head out from the roof of the car and grinned at the driver, revealing two rows of white teeth. He pulled a thick stack of bills from his pocket and slapped it on the dashboard. "Master, is this enough? If not, I'll add more!"
The driver stared at the stack of red banknotes in front of him, his eyes wide open. His original worries were instantly thrown out of the window. He slammed the steering wheel and said excitedly, "Master, hold on tight! I'm going to take you flying!"
The taxi rushed out like a wild horse, and the tires made a sharp scream as they rubbed against the ground.
Inside the car, Yunari held onto the seat belt tightly, her body swaying with the violent shaking of the car body.
Her face turned pale as she asked cautiously, "Qiye, are we...are we really going to go directly to the Yamazaki Bridge? Isn't it too dangerous there?"
Lin Qiye held Yunari's hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." He turned to look at Wu Hen with a questioning look in his eyes.
Wu Hen winked at Lin Qiye and smiled meaningfully.
He pointed at the mummy that was slowly crawling out from the roof and said, "Brother Qiye, this is a 'surprise' I specially prepared for you. You'll know its use later! Miss Yunari, stay with me and I will protect you."
The system popped up at the right moment to make its presence felt: "Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering the 'Horror Rental' mission. Reward: a Mummy Summoning Card with the skill 'Bandage Wrap'! Please use it wisely!"
Wu Hen internally complained furiously, "Bandage wrap? This skill sounds so useless! Can you make it more powerful?"
But on the surface, he said confidently: "Don't worry, everything is under control!"
The taxi sped all the way and soon arrived at the Yamazaki Bridge.
At this time, there were fewer vehicles on the bridge, and it seemed a bit empty.
Lin Qiye asked the driver to pull over, and then said to the driver: "Master, if things don't go well later, you can take Yunali and leave first, don't worry about us."
The driver hesitated for a moment, but looking at Wu Hen's face that said, "If you dare to ask, I'll let you see a mummy," he nodded: "Okay, okay, Master, I will definitely listen to you!"
Wu Hen laughed and patted the driver's shoulder: "Master, don't worry, I, Wu Hen, am here to ensure your safety!"
At this moment, several black cars came up from different directions like ghosts, surrounding the taxi. The people in the cars jumped out one after another, holding various weapons in their hands and staring at them fiercely.
