He opened his mouth to scream for help, but as soon as he did, he felt a large amount of wind rushing into his mouth.
“Are you awake?”
Xu Yang stopped and placed the driver on the ground, happily saying, “You woke up just in time. I need to get to Lintong County as soon as possible… Do you know any shortcuts?”
Driver: ” ”
He sat on the ground, looking up at the sky and then around him.
There was a wide road beside him, with vehicles speeding down it.
There was a road sign in front of him, with the words “Lintong – 82km”
written on it.
“Did I travel through time?”
He muttered to himself, “Could it be a parallel world where there is also Lintong? Or did I not travel through time, but some mysterious force arrived, causing some changes in this world? But why hasn’t my golden finger been activated?”
“???”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but smile and scold, “You didn’t travel through time, you’re still you, and this world is still this world. It’s just that there are many things in this world that an ordinary person like you can’t touch.”
Driver: ” ”
“No!”
“I don’t believe it!”
He seemed a bit disappointed and let out a few loud roars, then suddenly yelled at Xu Yang, “You owe me a car-that car cost me 80,000 dollars. I used it to commute to work, pick up my children from school, and do some odd jobs on the side… Now that the car is gone, how am I supposed to live?
80,000 dollars?
Xu Yang didn’t have that much cash on him.
However, last time Liu Shishi and Yang Yin set up a stall at the Ghost Market, they made quite a bit of money in gold, silver, and jewelry. He took out two gold bars, “These are gold bars weighing a kilogram each, enough to compensate for all your losses… Alright, stop complaining like an old woman!”
The driver took the gold bars, bit into one, and couldn’t help but rejoice when he confirmed they were real. He quickly got up and said, “Boss, I do know a road to Lintong County… That road was originally the only way from Zhouzhi to Lintong County, but later the government planned and rebuilt this main road, so that road was abandoned.”
“Great!”
Xu Yang picked up the driver and said, “Lead the way!
To be honest, being held like a chicken by Xu Yang, the driver felt quite resistant deep down. However, when he thought of the gold bars, he instantly became enthusiastic and pointed in one direction, “Go about seven or eight hundred meters ahead, and you’ll be on that road… It’s quite deserted, and poorly maintained.”
Whoosh!
Before he even finished speaking, Xu Yang had already taken off.
This time, he also used a Movement Talisman.
With the assistance of the Movement Talisman and the Land Flight Skill, Xu Yang’s legs left afterimages as he ran. In no time, he reached the path and following the driver’s guidance, arrived at Lintong County in only 40 minutes.
It was now 7 pm.
The sun hadn’t set yet, but the temperature wasn’t as high as during noon.
The streets of Lintong County were bustling with people and vehicles. Because of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors, there were many tourists on the streets, and foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, as well as black people, could be seen everywhere.
Xu Yang took out his phone and located the Lintong Yuet Chun Hot Springs Hotel.”
Soon.
They arrived at the hotel.
Yun Mengxi led the way, saying, “According to that old man’s memory, there are nine people in that gang, including him. We’ve killed three, and the remaining six are staying in this hotel, all on the fourth floor.
A hotel staff member approached, but before she could speak, Xu Yang said, “We’re from the criminal investigation team. Take us to the fourth floornow!”
Since he started cultivating the Dao, his temperament lias changed drastically, and ordinary people can even feel an invisible sense of oppression.
As soon as the word “now” was uttered, the staff member shivered and quickly led Xu Yang, Yun Mengxi, and Yue Yuluo to the fourth floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Yang turned to Yue Yuluo and said, “Yuluo, go invisible first and act accordingly later.”
“???”
The young hotel staff member looked confused, thinking she had misheard.
Invisible?
Do criminal investigators have that ability now?
Then she watched as the beautiful girl gradually disappeared from her sight.
She subconsciously wanted to scream, but Xu Yang covered her mouth and whispered, “Don’t shout… Mengxi, which room are they in? Where are Shishi’s bones?”
“404!”
Yun Mengxi whispered, “According to that old man’s memory, Shishi’s bones are in the gang leader’s room. His real name is unknown, everyone calls him Zhang San, who claims to be a descendant of the Tomb Raider Corporal. He has no reputation in the martial world, but three years ago, he suddenly became a Grandmaster.”
Outside room 404-
Xu Yang gestured for the hotel staff member to open the door.
She stuttered, clearly scared, “I… I don’t have a room card, I need to go to the… front desk to get one!”
Just then.
The door to the room opened automatically.
It was Yue Yuluo. She had entered the room and opened the door from the inside, then reappeared and said with a worried expression, “Husband, Mengxi, there’s no one in the room… Shishi’s bones are also missing!
Yun Mengxi’s expression changed slightly, “They have a lot of people, and they also rented three other rooms: 405.408, and 410. Go check if they’re in the
other rooms!”
