Judging from the two youths' sneaky glances, it was clear they were not good people. At this moment, the two were staring into the distance at a man dragging his luggage bag. Their gazes were continually going back and forth between the man and his luggage bag, with eyes moving at a frequency similar to a clock's hand.
One of them said softly, "Look at that man—his bag must contain something valuable. Besides, we haven't been able to secure a big catch for the past few days, perhaps we should snatch it? If we succeed, I estimate that we will be able to survive for another month at the very least!"
The other gazed intently at the luggage bag with the focus of a laser beam and said, "I think it's probable. Judging from the luggage bag's exterior, it seems to be made of authentic leather. Even if there aren't any valuables inside, just the luggage bag itself will be worth some value and money for us. It shall be him!"
Since they made up their mind to pursue the luggage bag, they began their pursuit immediately. With each step, the two youths gradually advanced forward, the distance between both parties instantly shortening.
At this moment, the sniper ninja under Tarō Gohon's command was expressing obvious irritation. He stood there and looked around him continually. Yet, his gaze was unfocused and he only concentrated on continually dialing his phone. Ultimately, he was still unable to gather his focus. Instead, his mind was fixated solely on his worry of number seven, wondering why he was not picking up the call. As to detecting the advancing presence of the two youths secretly getting closer to him, he remained oblivious, harboring no awareness of the danger in allowing strangers to get close to him in an unknown environment.
"Hey, buddy, do you know how to get to Lund Grand Hotel?" asked one of the two youths as he reached the ninja's side. His body faintly blocked the ninja's line of sight of the luggage bag before laughing heartily and saying, "I'm here to find one of my buddies. He said he's working at the Lund Grand Hotel, but I can't find where it is. Buddy, do you know where it is?"
F*ck, he's a Jabanese devil alright! Needless to say, the other youth picked up the luggage bag secretly and ran, while the one asking for directions took advantage of the opportunity and blocked the ninja's path, replying, "It turns out that you are Jabanese—that spells trouble... Goodbye!"
"Thief!" The ninja watched helplessly as his luggage bag got stolen before he was hot on their heels without hesitation.
This bag contains weapons. They cannot be exposed! How could they be stolen! The ninja clenched his teeth in anger and began a wild chase!
Perhaps, this thief could be of some use, with his familiarity in this line of work. As he pulled along the luggage bag and escaped wildly, his moves were as astounding and brazen as a parkour artist, with a speed comparable to Old Wang's CTRacer. Although the ninja's own skills were comparable, the issue lied with his unfamiliarity with the environment...
Therefore, as one ran and one chased, the run lasted close to one kilometer. In the end, as the thief pulled the luggage bag along and made a turn into the entrance of an alley, a tragedy occurred to the ninja who pursued after the thief used his skills...
Many a time, reality was like a coffee table, with tragedies placed on it... [1. 'Tragedies' in the Chinese language are read the same as 'cutleries'. ]
It turned out that the floor of the entrance of the alley had a manhole drain. The quality of the manhole was poor. As the thief was a citizen of the Heavenly State, it was common knowledge not to step on manholes when passing by. However, the problem was that the ninja was not a citizen of the Heavenly State.
Thus, a tragedy happened...
The ninja stepped one foot on the manhole with all his might. Afterward, he released a tragic screech...
"Ah—!!!"
The ninja flopped around with all his might in his descent. However, the problem lied with the fact that it was a gully drain he fell into. Hence, the drain's walls were covered in a slippery substance. Even for the professionals who maintained the drain, they were unable to get out of it without a ladder, let alone him!
As a result, in despair, the ninja fell into the drain with a thud—he did not know how to swim...
...
The outer area of Tianjing Mountain.
Hong Dali, Bureau Chief, as well as the others, followed the original route and made their return, reaching the outer area of Tianjing Mountain in no time. This time, as the cave resided in the mountain itself, Big Turtle would be unable to enter. Without Big Turtle, it would be depressing to rely just on walking.
After reaching this place, the only way to continue advancing forward was to rely on the strength of one's thighs. If Big Turtle entered, damage would be inflicted on this part of the forest. Besides, if it caught on the Big Turtle's shell...
As a result, this made things difficult for the Bureau Chief.
A helicopter should be requested, afraid that a calamity might appear out of the blue. Besides, walking would take up too much time. As the Bureau Chief brooded in worry, his phone suddenly rang. The Bureau Chief raised it up and checked. Unexpectedly, it was a call from Mu Huishou.
"What is this fellow up to, giving me a call at this hour?" the Bureau Chief thought strangely, before picking up his phone and accepting the call."What is it? Did something happen? I'm currently on the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. If it's not an urgent matter, let's talk about it later."
Mu Huishou replied in an exceedingly happy tone, "Bureau Chief, big news, really big news. Please wait for a while at Tianjing Mountain. We will set out to find you now, and that person will accompany us as well. We will reach in ten minutes!"
That person? Could it be...If that person came as well, the matter must be of great importance. Otherwise, what matter could cause that person to make his way here personally in a helicopter?
Following that thought, the Bureau Chief quickly instructed Hong Dali."Dali, an important guest will be visiting us later. As I have matters to attend to here, go ahead and play with everyone. As soon as I am done with these matters, I will call you again!"
"Oh, alright." Hong Dali sat on Big Turtle's back and exhaled heavily."Everyone is allowed to have some free time. However, don't wander off too far. I will be taking a nap first. This weather is simply too hot, it's suffocating me..."
Thus, everyone left to play in shaded areas, laughing and joking away.
Soon after, the helicopter's propeller's released a thundering roar. The Bureau Chief raised his head and looked up towards the sky, a smile gracing his face. It seemed that great news was going to grace him today, with just the extent of how great things were going to be unknown to him. This was turning out to be great.
"Haha, Wu Di, today is indeed brimming with good news." Upon alighting the helicopter, the mysterious middle-aged man faced Wu Di and cocked his eye at him. At once, both of them brought Mu Huishou aside, to a concealed area absent from anyone.
"What exactly is the matter that has personally brought you here?" asked the Bureau Chief.
"This matter is with regards to Hong Dali." The mysterious middle-aged man was obviously in a pleasant mood. Facing Mu Huishou, he replied, "Huishou, my comrade, why don't you explain it."
"Alright." Mu Huishou first nodded his head at the mysterious middle-aged man before explaining the process of the story softly."Bureau Chief, ever since the Angel of Misfortune visited our Heavenly State, we have been continually placing emphasis on observing his Weibo. Today, we discovered a few extremely strange things!"
"What is it?" asked the Bureau Chief curiously."As for the good news that you previously mentioned, perhaps they are related to the Angel of Misfortune?"
"Indeed." Mu Huishou took out some documents and handed them to the Bureau Chief, before he laughed and said, "Bureau Chief, first take a look at these!"
The Bureau Chief received the documents and read through them thoroughly. Then, he knitted his eyebrows and said, "A report on the death toll resulting from accidents? What's so surprising about this?"
"Hehe, take a look at the first one. It was the cause of why we discovered this in the first place." The mysterious man pointed to the document at the top of the stack before he laughed and said, "This turned out to be a real accident. If it weren't for this, I would still be on tenterhooks."
"Alright, let me take a look." The Bureau Chief began to read the document thoroughly.
For the first report, it reported the fatal process of someone falling into a gully drain. This person's death was extremely tragic. He fell into the gully drain without anyone knowing and was found rotting after being fished out from the drain...
Actually, that was not a big deal. As the Heavenly State was so large, the death toll resulting from accidents was high. However, the Bureau Chief soon discovered a piece of extremely strange information within the document.
"Based on this report, the deceased carried a luggage bag by his side that contained a Hamt M82A1 sniper rifle!" The Bureau Chief then drew in a cold breath."A sniper fell into the gully drain and drowned to death?"
"Hehe, exactly. This matter was reported by the two thieves who stole his luggage bag when they confessed their crime at the police station. The mysterious man laughed and said, "The two thieves initially snatched his luggage bag and found it quite pretty. However, they found the sniper rifle inside the bag and realized they had committed a big crime. Ultimately, they had no choice but to confess their crime. As a result, we conducted a search and discovered a big problem."
"This is strange..." The Bureau Chief shook his head helplessly. After he saw the next page of the document, his eyes enlarged momentarily."The deceased's identity is actually Toyoda Conglomerate's subordinate—a ninja?!"
"So far, it has been based on pure guessing. It's such a pity that he died, leaving us no evidence to verify his identity." The mysterious man laughed repeatedly before pointing to the rest of the documents."There are others, you can look at them again."
This time, the Bureau Chief did not dare to underestimate the document anymore and quickly continued reading."A pot placed on the balcony was blown by the wind and crashed into someone, causing his death. The deceased... Japanese? Perhaps also another ninja under Toyoda Conglomerate's command?! There is another report here—a death resulting from a car accident, the deceased's identity is surprisingly a mercenary from the world's biggest employed army group, with the code name Spade 9?! Heavens, this...""I can detect it, can detect it!" The Bureau Chief yelled in horror."The car accident, the crisis that came out of nowhere, the man that fell into a bottomless abyss.... this is precisely the duplication of the curse invoked by the Angel of Misfortune!"
"The time of death of Spade 9 as well as the first Weibo released by the Angel of Misfortune—he probably hoped for Hong Dali to be in a car accident at the same timing. The latter two, who could have possibly been Toyoda Conglomerate's ninjas, experienced their time of death not long after the Angel of Misfortune released the last Weibo." The mysterious man shook his head twice before helplessly saying, "As a result, we can currently confirm two matters."
"The curse by the Angel of Misfortune is indeed real!" The Bureau Chief nodded his head affirmatively and said, "It's no wonder that Merika has been treating the Angel of Misfortune as precious valuable. This Angel is indeed extraordinary!"
"Yes, which is why this matter is so brain-wracking. However, there is a pro from this." The mysterious man slowly said, "The curse of the Angel of Misfortune has no effect on Hong Dali!"
"Haha, indeed, indeed!" The Bureau Chief's mood became better and he laughed."It seems like the Sperm Theory we previously heard of does indeed hold the truth, a lot of truth!"
"Indeed, hehe. Based on the current situation, we can finally feel assured." The mysterious man, too, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Ever since the Angel of Misfortune entered our Heavenly State, I haven't been able to get a good night's rest. However, after today, it seems like I can finally rest well!"
After listening to the Bureau Chief mention the Sperm Theory, Mu Huishou, who was standing aside, could not hold himself back anymore and asked softly, "My... leader, Bureau Chief, this Sperm Theory that I have heard so many times, what exactly does this theory means?"
