Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

The basement was eerily quiet, everyone held their breath, the only sound was the creepy sucking sound.

"Gulu, Gulu~"

The several living dead behind the iron bars, whether dead or alive, all shrank visibly. In the blink of an eye, they turned into mummies with only a trace of oily skin left.

The dark red vines branching out from the dog's tail were nourished by flesh and blood, and were as plump as snakes and pythons, bright red and purple.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are countless densely packed barbs on the surface of the vine, which make one’s scalp tingle just by looking at them.

"Shua~"

In less than 10 seconds, under the stunned gaze of everyone, several blood vines rolled back like lightning and turned into long dog tails again.

The Nightmare's bloodshot eyes returned to normal black and bright dog eyes, slightly squinting, and it even licked its tongue to suit the occasion, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

"Boss, what on earth is this dog? A monster?"

Guo Fu got goosebumps all over her body. She swallowed subconsciously and asked with a stutter.

In fact, everyone knows that this black dog is very powerful and is the combat ceiling of the evil spirits in Hong Kong Island.

In the past, the abilities that Nightmare has demonstrated include terrifying physique, strength, speed, sensory ability, and self-healing ability. In addition, it also possesses large-scale hypnotic abilities.

However, the sudden transformation into a completely different unknown creature like just now still shocked the whole audience.

Du Weiguo rubbed Nightmare's head and replied with a smile:

"No, Nightmare is not a monster. It is just a special dog. You can think of it as a dog with special abilities."

"A dog with special abilities? Sir, just now, its tail turned into a vine. Is it still a dog?"

Du Tie also came back to his senses at this moment and shouted in shock.

"Of course. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things."

Du Weiguo rolled his eyes at him unhappily, as if to say he was ignorant.

"Some time ago, I killed a birdman in the Sahara Desert. That guy was even more awesome. Not only could he transform into a crowned eagle, he could even transform into a wild wolf."

"Fuck!" Du Tie's eyes almost popped out of his head as he exclaimed:
"Oh my goodness, is this true? Can it transform into an eagle? And also into a wolf? Isn't that the legendary 72 transformations?"

Perhaps because he has been hanging out with Hanwen for too long, Du Tie can now speak fluent Beijing dialect and even swears all the time.

The others also had astonishment on their faces, as if they were listening to some Arabian Nights fairy tale. Even the knowledgeable Miss Hu showed obvious curiosity.

Hearing Du Tie's yell, Du Weiguo was also slightly stunned:
"Tsk, you're right. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Maybe there have been strange people who can change their forms in Chinese history."

While speaking, Du Weiguo subconsciously turned his head to look at Miss Hu with an expression of confirmation.

After all, she is a genuine monster and one of the most powerful demons in the world. In addition, she has extensive knowledge and knows countless unknown mysteries.

"Yes, there was indeed one, and more than one."

Miss Hu's expression was a little unnatural, and she changed the subject a little abruptly.

"But now is not the time to chat about these trivial matters. There is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. We should quickly think about how to find out the mastermind behind this!"

Du Weiguo keenly noticed that Miss Hu did not want to talk about this topic, so he followed her lead and said:

"Yes, that's right, Chunsheng, have you found any clues?"

Chunsheng's predictive ability is not limited to finding people. He can also foresee the future of an area, which can be a building or a city.

He could even use some objects to deduce fragments of the related person's future, but this method was a bit inconsistent.

Chunsheng shook his head in annoyance, his tone full of apology:
"I'm sorry, Boss. I disappoint you. I didn't find any useful clues."

"I have tried to foresee the future of this city and everyone here since I got off the plane, but I haven't found any trace of the poisoner."

Hearing this answer, Du Weiguo was a little disappointed, but he still patted Chunsheng on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile:
"It's okay, Chunsheng, you really think you are a god, omniscient and omnipotent."

"Besides, as long as you are in charge of Kayseri, if they dare to make another move, you will definitely predict it in advance. By then, we can prevent tragedies from happening. This is the most important thing."

"That's right, your name is Chunsheng, right?"

Miss Hu suddenly came over, she even held Chunsheng's arm and said warmly:
"Chunsheng, your ability to predict the future is extraordinary! It is like a bottom-line insurance policy that can save millions of citizens in the city in disguise. This is a great merit!"

Speaking of this, let me digress.

Now, Kayseri is the largest city in Persia, far larger than the capital Ankara and Istanbul, which was originally ranked first.

Miss Hu's governance methods may not be as delicate as Moran's, but she is more courageous and more domineering.

In just a year and a half, Kayseri's urban area has expanded more than four times, and its population has soared from around one million to nearly four million today.

At this moment, Guo Fu suddenly came over, pushed away Miss Hu's arm without any hesitation, and pulled Chunsheng behind her.

"Chunsheng, come here quickly! Stay away from certain people. You are not smart enough, be careful not to be led astray by others."

Her little face was tense, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Because Du Weiguo was present, this was Guo Fu's most polite response. If it were in St. George's, her home court, she would probably have pulled out her gun.

Miss Hu was not angry, she just crossed her arms and glanced at her with a half-smile:
"Little girl, are you very hostile to me? Why? Have I ever offended you?"

Guo Fu was immediately furious: "Hu, why are you acting so senior? Who are you calling a little girl?"

The skin of Miss Hu now is a symbiotic one with Momoyo Sakurai. She is so tender and young. Moreover, she is only 18 years old, which is indeed not even older than Guo Fu.

"Heh~" After being scolded by Guo Fu, Miss Hu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Little girl, don't you recognize me?"

A hint of dark red suddenly flashed in her eyes, and Guo Fu's eyes also lit up with a gleam of light almost at the same time.

A long-forgotten memory suddenly flashed back to her mind.

Two years ago, at the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong Island, she slept soundly while hugging a big fiery red fox, and then she gave it a bath and confided her true feelings.

Guo Fu suddenly raised her head and looked at Miss Hu in disbelief. In her sight, her enchanting eyes gradually overlapped with the eyes of the big fox in her memory.

Guo Fu was dumbfounded: "You, you~"

"Hey~"

The smile on Miss Hu's face became even wider. She winked at Guo Fu, put a finger in front of her lips and made a hushing gesture.

For a long time afterwards, Guo Fu was in a trance-like state.

Her eyes were a little out of focus. Occasionally they would focus on Miss Hu, and occasionally she would look at Du Weiguo with an inquiring gaze.

A moment later, during lunch, Du Weiguo caught a glimpse of Guo Fu, whose eyes were fixed and who had lost her appetite. He could not help but lean over to Miss Hu's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Hu Da, what did you do to her?" Miss Hu Da glanced at her:
"What? Are you feeling sorry for your little lover? Don't worry, I'm just helping her recall some of the past and revealing my origins in disguise."

"Your background? What do you mean?" Du Weiguo frowned slightly.

Miss Hu's tone was teasing and a little resentful:
"Yes, it's just as you think. I saw this little girl when I first went to Hong Kong Island with you. At that time, she wasn't your lover yet?"

"Uh~" Du Weiguo looked a little embarrassed and changed the subject abruptly:
"Um, Hu Da, did this zombie incident cause a lot of damage?"

Miss Hu rolled her eyes, but she didn't continue to stab him. Instead, she sighed and said in a muffled voice:

"It must be big. The plague has spread to seven cities, including the important port city of Mersin."

"Preliminary estimates show that at least 30 people died, 5 of whom were Chinese immigrants. The financial losses are incalculable."

"Yeah." Du Weiguo nodded calmly.

His heart is as hard as iron now. He has long been numb to things like death. No matter how many people die, it is just a number to him.

"By the way, what's the reaction from the Persian government?"

"Tsk!" Miss Hu sneered disdainfully.

"Forget about those barkworms in Ankara!"

"They heard that an unknown plague that could be transmitted from person to person had broken out in Kayseri. They were so scared that they immediately blocked all the passages connecting East and West Persia."

Du Weiguo was also amused and confused:

"No support, no troops? It seems that they really don't want this piece of land in eastern Persia anymore."

Miss Hu curled her lips and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe he is planning to pick peaches after I tinker with Xingwang."

"Heh~" Du Weiguo sneered:

"They must have good teeth, and I wish they would have the heart to do so."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Miss Hu said tactfully.

Taking out a cigarette box and lighting a cigarette, Du Weiguo said coldly:
"As long as they dare to think this way and put it into practice, there will be no need for the country of Persia to continue to exist."

"Really?" Miss Hu's eyes suddenly lit up.

As soon as he saw the change in her eyes, Du Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that she might have taken it seriously and had some evil intentions.

With Miss Hu's means and courage, she is fully capable of directing and acting in this matter herself, making it happen, and swallowing up the whole of Persia in one gulp.

In recent years, the evil spirits have been expanding wildly, and their territory has been expanding like a snowball.

Hong Kong Island, Pattaya, Bandar Baru, Guyana, East Persia, the Six Indian States, French Guyana which signed the lease agreement today, and Borneo Island which is about to be annexed.

If these territories are fully digested, the total area will be nearly 200 million square kilometers, ranking among the top ten in the world and easily joining the ranks of major powers.

From this perspective, completely annexing Persia doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But in fact, this is an extremely dangerous behavior.

It might even become a fuse, causing all countries in the world to unite and besiege the evil gods.

Although the evil spirits seem to be at their peak now, they have actually reached the edge of a cliff. One more step forward will lead to the abyss.

The previous series of plundering behaviors by the evil gods had offended almost most of the sovereign states and interest groups.

The whole world has reached its limit!
Persia's location is too sensitive, with half in Europe and half in the Middle East. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the throat of the world.

The most important thing is that Persia is a real sovereign state, not a colony of any country, nor a war-torn and ownerless land like Kalimantan.

The invasion of such a sovereign country is enough to break the already taut string!
"Hu Da, don't do anything rash!" Du Weiguo warned in a deep voice.

"What are you doing?" Miss Hu pretended to be stupid.

Du Weiguo was not a person who was prone to illness. He slowly calmed down and spoke in a serious tone.

"Huda, you know exactly what I am talking about. Don't plan to occupy all of Persia."

Miss Hu frowned slightly. She didn't say anything, but stared at Du Weiguo deeply with her pair of charming eyes.

Du Weiguo looked at her calmly and said word by word:

"Hu Da, we can't afford the consequences of annexing Persia, at least not now."

"Hu~" After a few seconds, Miss Hu exhaled and spread her hands.

"Well, you are the boss, you have the final say."

Seeing that Miss Hu finally did not offend him, Du Weiguo appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he felt relieved and suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

In fact, as the territory of the evil gods grew larger and their strength grew stronger, the sense of being out of control he felt became more and more intense.

In his two lifetimes, Du Weiguo was not a wise and brave ruler, and he was not even competent for the duties of a general.

He is the most powerful assassin, his personal combat power is invincible in the world, but his command talent is very limited, the limit of which is to command a battalion of troops.

That's why he chose to delegate power, hand over all the territories to his harem and confidants to manage.

They did not disappoint Du Weiguo's trust. Each of them was capable and managed their territories very well.

However, they all have their own ideas, selfish desires, and ambitions. As the power in their hands continues to grow, the situation becomes increasingly out of control.

Fortunately, the territories are far apart from each other, otherwise, they would easily fight among themselves.

Du Weiguo was lost in thought and didn't notice until the cigarette butt was about to burn his hand. Miss Hu reached out and helped him pull the cigarette butt out.

"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are fixed."

"Oh, nothing." Du Weiguo suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and casually changed the topic.

"Hu Da, have you contacted the Pasteur Institute today? When will the results of the pathological study on the living dead be released?"

"Not so fast, but I have informed them in advance and they will tell me the results as soon as they are available."

In the afternoon, the Kunpeng Special Operations Brigade and the reinforcements from the Russian Bear had been settled in. More than 8000 elite troops entered the city, and everyone felt reassured.

At the door of the study, Guo Fu stopped Du Weiguo who was going to the toilet, and pulled him into an empty room next door without any explanation.

Guo Fu pushed him against the wall with her body, her little face flushed red, and her pair of moist peach blossom eyes shone like stars.

"Head~" Her voice trembled and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"No, Guo Fu, what are you doing?" Du Weiguo's blood almost boiled on the spot. (End of this chapter)
