…Su Muqiu, whose actual age is 16, laughed, thinking that it was a good thing he was in City H. If this was in Shangcheng District, his identity information would have to be strictly verified, so it would be really hard to get away with it. …
☆、Chapter 26 27: Mermaid's Tears (old version)
The author has something to say: starting from chapter 27, there are two branch lines, one leads to the end, and the other leads to the end of the second part.
Old Version→End
Modified version → Doomsday
Before Su Muqiu opened his eyes, he felt a warm liquid on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.There was a dull pain in the back of the head, with a sense of dizziness that could not tell the direction, and the voice in the ear sounded hazy and vague, as if separated by an extremely long distance.
On the far side, it seemed that someone was sobbing suppressedly.
His intuitive reaction is not right—generally speaking, when he wakes up, no matter if he wakes up from cold, heat, or stuffiness, there will be a head resting on him, using him as a pillow, or wrapping a pair of No matter how bad his fish tail is, there will be another steady breathing sound.
So he didn't open his eyes immediately, but maintained his posture calmly, and began to sort out all the fragments that could be fished out of his mind, and waited for the dizziness to subside by the way.
Because of the promise to make breakfast, Su Muqiu got up early and prepared to cook a particularly hearty breakfast, preferably one that Ye Xiu would never forget.
It was a bright night after winter, although it was early morning, the room was still dark.He gently moved away Ye Xiu who was lying on his chest. There was not much movement, but the latter woke up immediately: "Mu Qiu."
"Are you used to looking for me as soon as you wake up? How old are you?"
"..." The young man counted with his fingers.
"…Are you awake?"
"Awake." Ye Xiu huddled under the blanket and replied.
Su Muqiu couldn't help laughing out loud, this guy looked sober, but he could tell from his eyes that Ye Xiu was actually sleepy.
Probably, he didn't rest until midnight again.Su Muqiu suppressed his smile, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ye Xiu, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to pull Ye Xiu's messy black hair out of the quilt, and put it on the pillow: "I just went to lie in the toilet, it's not yet dawn, Let's sleep a little longer."
Hearing his rare gentle tone, Ye Xiu was about to get up in a jerk. A vein stretched out on Su Muqiu's forehead, and he patted him on the head, telling you to sleep. Ye Xiu finally lay down with peace of mind, squinting his eyes. fast asleep.
Su Muqiu pinched his face, and then walked out of the room with black lines all over his face.Although he asked Ye Xiu to help him last night, he still wouldn't really take action against such a heartless thing as sending a fish that stayed up all night to watch the door.
When Su Muqiu was standing in the kitchen rolling up her sleeves, Su Mucheng got up. As soon as she heard that she was going to make breakfast, she volunteered to help her brother. Su Muqiu rubbed the top of her hair and asked the little girl to help take the ingredients out of the refrigerator.Su Mucheng responded, and filled the table with materials, and finally tilted her head and said, "Brother, I've run out of eggs."
"Is that so?" Su Muqiu looked at the time and took off his apron: "It's still early anyway, I'll go to the market and I'll be back later."
"I also need to go!"
"Okay."
Seeing that the sky outside was gloomy with light drizzle, Su Muqiu held up an umbrella, locked the door, and led Su Mucheng out.
In the middle of the journey, the brothers and sisters had just turned a corner when suddenly someone jumped out from behind the flower garden. Su Muqiu's heart tightened, and he immediately put his sister behind him. After a careful look, he saw that the person standing in front was only a young man of the same age. Dressed like a street punk.
The other party shouted excitedly: "Stop! Rob!"
He yelled this sentence with full of air, and the volume was so loud that he wished that all the residents within a hundred miles could hear it and immediately call the police for the victim.
"Don't get excited, I will cooperate, but do you think I have the money to grab it for you?" Su Muqiu spread his hands, letting the other party see the popular Taobao models and counterfeit sneakers on his body.
The other party looked at it seriously: "No."
"That's right!" Su Muqiu looked apologetic, "It's not good to waste your time as soon as you start work in the morning, and it's a waste of your time. Why don't you let us go first, and then find another one. We promise not to make any noise."
Su Mucheng hid behind her brother and made a movement of zipping her mouth.
"Sounds very reasonable." The young man nodded, turned around and ran away, Su Muqiu was still thinking about the unexpected, and saw the young man running to a van on the street, banging on the black paint. Painted car windows: "He said he has no money to grab! Should we change our target!"
The car window was rolled down a crack, and the man behind had a distorted expression: "Fuck you... If you say it a few times, it's not a robbery, we're going to kidnap for ransom... Damn! Baozi, the target has escaped, go after him!"
"Oh!" The steamed bun boy turned his head, and saw Su Muqiu, who was experienced and seasoned, made a decisive decision, and had already dragged his sister away. He had the advantage of having long legs, and he ran away a long way in a short while.
Baozi quickly caught up, looked left and right, grabbed a loose brick from the edge of the flowerbed, shouted and looked at the brick, after a very standard discus throwing preparation posture, in the clear sound of breaking the air, the brick swished It flew out, drew a beautiful parabola, and attacked Su Muqiu directly.
Hearing the whistling wind behind his head, Su Muqiu moved quickly, the umbrella blocked him again, and the brick passed by. Into the rain, blinked his eyes, just this moment of distraction, he accidentally tripped over the unrepaired hole in the street, and hit the back of his head straight.Before Su Mucheng fell into a coma on the spot under the nervous cry, there was only one thing in his mind, that is, how many years will it take for the damn floor tiles to be repaired...? !
In vain of his fame... No, what happened to Mucheng? !
Su Muqiu opened his eyes abruptly.
Directly in front of him, not far away, was the rogue-looking teenager with dyed blond hair, who was staring at him eagerly.
The brick in the hand of the lost boy is too familiar. He is an old acquaintance. Not long ago, he almost touched his head intimately. The corner was still stained with blood. It is probably the blood that flowed out after he fell into a coma. Completely indirect murder weapon.
Su Muqiu shouted depressedly: "Damn, who are you!"
Without warning, the boy raised up the bloody brick in his hand.
Su Muqiu smiled like a flower: "What's the name of this hero?"
The boy replied loudly: "Oh, I'm Baozi!"
"Then you know my sister..."
"elder brother!"
Su Muqiu heard the reputation and looked over, and saw his sister leaning against her feet, her small face was covered with dust, there were still some tears, her tied hairstyle was messed up, and she was staring at him with red eye circles.Su Muqiu tried his best to show a calm smile, and wanted to reach out to wipe her face clean, only to realize that his hands were tied behind the chair.
Su Muqiu looked around and found that they were in a small old room, which was full of debris that could be classified as tattered. The abandoned old sofa was covered with dust, and there were spider webs hanging on the corners.There are no windows in the room, only a thick iron door that was obviously added later. There is a ventilation window near the ceiling, but it is equipped with a deadly iron railing.
No matter which city you are in, this kind of place is not uncommon.
Su Muqiu clearly realized that he and Mucheng had been kidnapped──he remembered that there was a car parked on the side of the street at that time, the boy obviously had other accomplices, and this crime was not a temporary one.Perhaps these kidnappers were among the people who had been following him and Ye Xiu.
And he was sitting on the only usable chair in the room, his hands were bound, but his body was not bound, but when he lowered his head, his eyes turned black, and blood dripped down on the half-stained skin. On the shirt, it looked particularly miserable.
No wonder he always felt dizzy, and he was not tied up and thrown into the corner, probably because he didn't seem capable of resisting at all.
I don't think I can wear this dress anymore...
Su Muqiu was thinking about something unimportant, when Baozi Tianwai said, "Are you a mermaid?"
"What... a mermaid? Me?" Su Muqiu was stunned.
"The group of big brothers said, 'This guy has a lot to do with the mermaid, he must be able to ask for a lot of money', and they chased him from City B, so you are a real mermaid? Will mermaid tears turn into pearls?" Baozi explain.
"This... no!" Su Muqiu was ashamed. When ordinary people heard that sentence, wouldn't they directly understand that this person is rich because he has an acquired mermaid? "You misunderstood. Mermaids were originally human beings the day after tomorrow, and human tears will not turn into pearls."
"But human beings can become mermaids, and they can have children!" Baozi boy asked seriously, "Why don't mermaid tears turn into pearls after such strange things happen?"
Su Muqiu was not in the mood to continue explaining, he said something to make me think about how to answer, and then he acted like he was in deep thought, actually thinking about ways to get out of trouble.Baozi nodded, and really squatted aside patiently waiting for the answer.
Now, there are only Su Muqiu, Su Mucheng and this bun in the room.With his blood remaining and restraint, Su Mucheng moved freely and didn't cry. There was a little scratch that didn't bother him, but the hand that was holding on to his trousers trembled slightly.Su Muqiu felt a little sorry in his heart, knowing that Su Mucheng would be so worried, probably because he bled too much, which was shocking.
However, Su Muqiu felt that his body was fine. Although the blood flow was terrible, apart from blood loss and dizziness, there seemed to be no other major problems.
Then, Su Muqiu looked around. Although there were many sundries in the whole room, it was a pity that they were all far away from him. In short, it was not within the distance that he could get it in his hand quietly. Even if he could get it, there was nothing useful here. Items, probably the kidnappers disposed of them in advance.
This bun is still able to communicate, maybe it's an opportunity.
After deciding on the direction, Su Muqiu asked tentatively: "Before I answer you...can you tell me how you got together with 'those big brothers'?"
"You're telling me, you're an undercover agent?" Baozi said seriously.
"No, how could I be an undercover agent." Su Muqiu reasoned with him, "I'm covered in blood and tied up, how can I look like an undercover agent? This is called a hostage, isn't it normal for a hostage to ask questions?"
"Really?" Baozi was suspicious.
"Yes." Su Muqiu replied, and he said sincerely, or I can change the sentence, who am I, who are you, where am I? Why did you kidnap me?
Baozi suddenly realized and agreed with his statement.Then Su Muqiu, with blood all over his head and face, said miserably that if he was going to die, let him die. Su Mucheng, who was next to him, shed tears under Su Muqiu's hint. Describe what you know.
The reason why the public security and inspections in Shangcheng District are so strict is that besides being a core city where many political and business dignitaries live, it is because there are many acquired mermaids living there.Any mermaid is worth a lot of money, depending on its quality, the price can vary by several grades. Therefore, even if you are caught kidnapping or selling a mermaid privately, you will be punished with severe punishment, but if you catch it One can lie down and count banknotes without removing one's hands. Many people can't resist the temptation of huge profits, and they are still doing this business relentlessly.
The mermaid party in City B was well-known in some circles. The organizers had a way to ensure that so many mermaids got together at the same time. Naturally, they were a little capable, but they didn't care about things outside the scope of the villa.
The group who kidnapped Su Muqiu has been secretly kidnapping mermaids for several years. They were originally the one who strongly opposed the existence of mermaids, and later they even started kidnapping to make money. They usually pick collectors who bring a lot of mermaids. And will never grab the best quality inside, very cunning.This caused headaches for those collectors, and they hesitated whether to put in effort to hunt them down, but considering that the robbed mermaids were nothing special, and that most of those mermaids were related to black market population, they might as well consider themselves unlucky.
It's a pity that although they will pick their targets, it still doesn't mean that they are completely risk-free, and they were almost caught by the police several times.
However, this year, there was a boy who took a private car from a building, and brought a mermaid wearing a brand-name custom-made model to the party alone. There was no bodyguard, and he looked like he was running away from home...
Su Muqiu: "Wait a minute, is that person talking about me?"
Although I don't know where I sent the mermaid halfway, I'm still a bit smart, but I foolishly ran to City H to experience life and live in a place where there is no security at all...
Su Muqiu: "..."
Baozi: "The group of big brothers said that instead of selling mermaids, it is better to let your family pay to redeem you. Maybe you can get a thank you fee if you catch the young master who ran away from home."
Alone, bring the expensive mermaid to the upper-level exchange gatherings, and then go to the old city... Su Muqiu heard that, and felt that he would steal someone.
"Then why did you hang out with them? It doesn't sound like you are in the same group." Su Muqiu asked.
"I was helping to watch the scene nearby. They suddenly appeared a few days ago and said that the little brother next to you is too vigilant. You must ask me for help. Just stop you."
Baozi felt that the answer was irrelevant to the question, Su Muqiu patiently made a few indirect remarks, and finally guessed the reason - Baozi was about the same age as them, and the kidnapper guessed that this might make the two of them take it easy and create a chance for them to use the phone, so they found a reason to frame Baozi. help.Unexpectedly, Su Muqiu, the rich n-generation in the eyes of the kidnappers, took the little girl out alone this morning.
"So, your mission is complete, why are you still here?"
"I have a new task. I'm responsible for watching you. If you wake up, tell them." Baozi thought for a while, then touched the communicator on his waist: "I'll let you know!"
Su Muqiu was taken aback, but before Baozi touched the communicator, the radio-like device heard a rustling sound of electricity, and a rough male voice sounded quite dissatisfied: "Hey, is that young master still awake? "
"Wake up! We're talking."
There was a noise of pushing tables and chairs from the communicator, the male voice cursed a few foul words, and there was the sound of a door being knocked open, and then the communication was cut off.
This is by no means a friendly message.
Su Muqiu's whole body tensed suddenly, he glanced around hastily, saw Su Mucheng who was holding back his fear, he immediately made a judgment, decided to put all his eggs in one basket, his eyes fell on Baozi who was beating on the communicator suspiciously.
"Hey! I'll tell you a secret."
"Although I'm not a mermaid, I know a real mermaid, and that's why they caught me. Baozi, do you want to see a real mermaid? I wonder if a mermaid's tears will turn into pearls?"
He couldn't hide his eagerness, so his tone was a little more serious. His tone of aggressive salesmanship was like that of someone selling pots, pans, and knife sets on a TV show, but his expression was completely opposite.
After making sure that Baozi looked at him, as if he was curious about what he mentioned, Su Muqiu spoke very quickly, but whispered very clearly: "I can take you to see the mermaid, there is only one condition, that is, no matter what happens later , you must protect my sister—"
Just when Baozi nodded solemnly, and Su Mucheng called out anxiously for brother, the iron door was angrily pushed open, and a bearded man stepped into the room. He cursed with a ferocious expression: "Damn! I told you to watch him, not to chat with him!"
Baozi was quite serious: "I have been watching him! There is absolutely no slack!"
"I'm telling you... Forget it!" The thick and thick man was angry, the muscles on one side of his face were crookedly stiff, he turned his head and stared at Su Muqiu with a sneer: "Master, how did you sleep well?"
Su Muqiu originally had no emotion on his face, but after hearing this sentence, a voice like someone lazily saying, "It's not bad, but the chair is a bit hard" floated in his mind, and he could almost imagine the lazily shaking With its silver tail fin, he couldn't help laughing for a moment.
The rough man only took the low laugh as a sarcasm, his facial muscles twitched, and seeing the boy getting more and more upset, he raised his leg and kicked his knee away from the side.
The knee hit Su Muqiu's side hard, and Su Muqiu, who was blocked from moving, was kicked out on the spot, including the chair, and hit the ground hard.There were a few slaps on his forehead, and a lot of blood fell on the ground again. Su Muqiu felt a burning pain in his side, his face was pale, his arm was bitten by the chair, and he was numb and unable to exert any strength.
"Okay, young master, after saying hello, I think we can introduce ourselves now." The big man squatted in front of Su Muqiu, looking at the blood-stained boy, "Who am I? You don't need me." I know, as for you, we have searched for so long and found nothing except your fake identity in H city, so you'd better tell your identity background honestly, so we can contact your family and spend a little money to take you Go back, will you?"
"I…"
"What?" The big man leaned closer.
It took a while for Su Muqiu to restrain the slight trembling caused by the pain in his voice, and said, I have no money.
The big guy oh oh twice, and he said yes, I'm sorry to tie up the wrong person, then he clenched his fist, the muscles in his upper arm stretched, and the fist came down with a bang, hitting Su Muqiu's abdomen hard, the latter grunted and retched Lying on the ground, panting uncontrollably.
"You still naively think that we don't know where you took the mermaid? You say you have no money? Then your family must have money!?"
Su Muqiu was silent.
The big man punched him a few more times, and there was a muffled sound as the fists slammed hard. Seeing that the dying Su Muqiu just clenched his teeth, even though the pain was so painful that he bit his lip, he still had a face of forbearance. You, ask your sister instead! Where is the little girl—come here for me!"
Su Muqiu's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. Half of his vision was stained red with blood, and the colors he saw were chaotic and mixed. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the big man approaching Su Mucheng who was huddled in the corner.Her small body shrank into a ball, her eyes were full of tears, and she was visibly trembling, but just like her brother, she stubbornly refused to cry.
When the thick and burly man stretched out his arms with hideous tattoos to pull her hair, Bao Zi rushed out and stood in front of the little girl without hesitation, refusing to back down even a single step.
"Hey, you still suddenly want to play a game of heroes? Get the hell out of my way. When we get the money, do you want anything?" The big man sneered.
"No!" Baozi replied.
"It's not that you're blocking here?!"
"Can't let it go."
"Is it possible that you, a street gangster, will suddenly repent?"
"I said no." Baozi frowned, with a look of reproach for why you couldn't understand people's language.
The big man stared at him for a while, but he really couldn't communicate, and it was too troublesome to beat him up--the kid was still holding a brick in his hand.The big man's anger was rising, he gave up on Su Mucheng, looked back at Su Muqiu who fell weakly on the ground, and kicked him violently again to vent his anger.
"I...really... cough, cough, cough!" Su Muqiu trembled in pain, arched his back, coughed heart-piercingly, and lay down in a small pool of blood, breathless.
Seeing that the man would lose his breath if he beat him again, the big man stared at the blood stains on the upper of his shoe with hatred, wiped the blood on his clothes casually, and then threw down a sentence in a rage, "Give him chili water and see if he can be tough." By the time ' left.
After the sound of the other party's heavy footsteps disappeared, Su Mucheng immediately rushed to Su Muqiu's side. She took out a clean white handkerchief and carefully pressed it next to the wound on the back of her head. After a while, the whole handkerchief was soaked in blood, and the little girl burst into tears. live tumble.Su Muqiu seemed to be going into the coffin with only one breath left, but when Su Mucheng held him tightly, he opened his eyes and winked at her.
His eyes are sober, and there is a little light in his light-colored pupils, which is a hint every time he wants to play tricks. Su Mucheng's eyes brighten up, and she winks firmly at him.
Baozi lifted Su Muqiu up from the chair, followed the instructions of the big man and brought a large bucket of red liquid. He twisted the lid to make sure that Su Muqiu's eyes hurt from the burning smell after a long distance.In addition to irritating the wound, the chili water will also hinder the healing. If he was really drenched all over his head, he guessed that he would be able to explain it here just by losing blood.
Su Muqiu was quick to wit: "Wait! I suggest you don't do this."
Baozi turned his head: "Why?"
"If it were you, would you be angry if you were beaten and doused with pepper water?" Su Muqiu put on a weak appearance that would faint at any time, emphasizing that if you continue to struggle, you will have to go to the resurrection point to find him, and followed the persuasion: "You See, I've been very cooperative, right, if you make me faint or die, how do you know who to ask for blackmail, and how do you ask me to call for help when you call, and get the money to redeem me?"
Su Muqiu himself felt that this passage was a bit unconvincing, but Baozi's brain circuit was obviously different from ordinary people. He nodded in agreement, took the chili water back, and praised Su Muqiu for his quick response. Su Muqiu blushed again and thought for a while. After the meeting, he quietly asked, will you help us escape?
"No, it's a matter of morality." Baozi said solemnly, although he felt that this group of people was not a good thing, but he promised to be the first to take care of them.
Su Muqiu originally asked without expecting, and was not surprised to get this answer.
He calculated all the things that could be used at the moment, and quickly conceived the way to escape. For a while, his mind began to dizzy again, he felt a little weak all over his body, and his abdomen ached.Knowing that he was not in good condition, Su Muqiu leaned on the chair to reduce physical exertion, and said helplessly, "Anyway, I'm sorry, I feel that I might...before that, can I have a private conversation with my sister..."
"What constellation are you from?" Baozi asked suddenly.
"Libra." Su Muqiu followed him to answer.
"Oh, this constellation, your constellation is like this. But don't worry, I checked, your injury is not serious, and I bleed a lot when I fell last time." After Baozi finished speaking, he ran to the corner and carried his back. He covered his ears to the two, indicating that he would never eavesdrop.
Although the reaction was a bit heavenly, Baozi really helped protect Mucheng, and he didn't tell the big brother that he looked miserable, but it was actually a good thing, otherwise he might have suffered a lot.At least on this point, Su Muqiu said thank you in a low voice.
Because he didn't know when the bearded man would stand up and beat someone up again, every second counted, Su Mucheng tried to untie the rope for Su Muqiu but failed, so he asked Su Mucheng to take off the hair ornament in a low voice.
The hair accessory was in the shape of an inconspicuous orange, and upon closer inspection one would find that it was made of exquisite metal workmanship, and it was brought to the little girl by him and Ye Xiu when they went to City B.With her hands behind her back, Su Muqiu groped and deftly removed the small green leaves on the hair ornament, and asked Su Mucheng to dip the orange hair ornament into the blood-stained handkerchief, almost completely dyed bright red, and then carefully removed the From the inconspicuous position by the crack of the door, the hair ornament was pushed out.
After Ye Xiu found out that they were missing, he would definitely come to look for them.
I hope this will speed up the speed of finding them a little bit... The handkerchief is too obvious, if they are discovered, it may make them more troublesome.
At this time, Baozi happened to turn around and asked if they agreed. He saw Su Mucheng by the door, and also saw her actions. He probably didn't violate the item of "looking good at people", and he didn't stop the little girl.
Su Muqiu exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and tried his best to recover as much time as possible. He flipped his wrist, clamped the metal leaf less than the size of a fingernail, and cut the rope on his wrist calmly.
Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu...!
...
The black-haired and black-eyed boy raised his head thoughtfully. The torrential rain continued outside the eaves, with rumbling and muffled noises. The air was so humid that it seemed to be immersed in water, which made the humans who belonged to terrestrial species become irritable.
The few tall and strong men who carried him were obviously depressed by the rain. In order to express their irritability, they laughed at Ye Xiu who was looking up at the sky: "Hahaha, kid, don't you have the guts to barge into our place to ask for someone?" , but you don’t have the guts to be afraid of thunder?”
"Oh, I just feel that I heard someone call me through gritted teeth, saying that if I don't go to escort, I will wait to be chopped up by him."
Several people laughed louder and laughed wildly: "Don't worry, you will be chopped up by us later!"
One of them was grinning, and pushed open one of the doors of countless old houses: "Hey, boss, we found a kid outside, saying he came to please us—"
Ye Xiu blinked, staring straight at the people in the room.
A burly man was sitting at the table drinking tea with a displeased face. The blood stains on his collar and shoes were all Ye Xiu's familiar smell.
"What kind of garbage did you bring back?" The big man snorted coldly, "Another kid playing hero games?"
The group of tall and burly subordinates laughed and pushed the boy's shoulders, but did not push.
They laughed for a moment.
Ye Xiu struggled easily, then escaped from the restraints, loosened his shoulders leisurely, and said thank you, thank you for leading the way, you are really a dedicated watchdog.
One of them immediately said angrily, "What did you say—"
He had only spoken half a sentence.
He took half a step towards the ignorant young man.
In such an instant, with a touch, mixed with a slight cracking sound that made the scalp tingle, the 1.9-meter-long man crashed down without a sound, and the warm bloody red liquid slowly overflowed, flowing over the At the feet of the people who couldn't react to the sudden change of the situation.
Ye Xiu shook off the blood on his fingertips, and raised his head slightly. At this moment, the thick and thick man quickly grabbed the hot iron kettle on the table, and slammed it hard on Ye Xiu's forehead with a loud bang. occasion.
The scalding hot tea mixed with the rich green herbal incense was poured on Ye Xiu's body, and the latter quickly covered his eyes, letting the tea splash all over his body, and the boiling hot water created a small stream of steaming water.
Being doused with scalding hot water, no matter how severe it is, as long as it is a human being, it will be scalded. The big man smiled sullenly, and was about to order his subordinates to arrest him and treat the kid who had eaten the heart of a beast, but he did not expect that He squinted his eyes from the heat, his complexion was slightly reddish, but there was no reaction.
The big man was close enough, close enough to detect the surface layer of what looked like human skin, with the outline of delicate scales looming. He widened his eyes, while Ye Xiu calmly let the tea flow down, and smoothed his bangs that were still dripping. Stretch back.
Outside, in the gloomy sky, a flash of thunder suddenly fell, the thunder was deafening, and after the dazzling white light, there was a crackling sound, and all the lights in the room were suddenly extinguished.
Humans fell into a panic for a moment, but the mermaid was not affected by this darkness. Ye Xiu took a few steps lazily, picked up the communicator that the big man threw on the table, and with a little force, amidst the sound of teeth grinding against metal, only Hand twisted into pieces.
"I'm sorry, my Patriarch told me that if you want to cut it, you should cut the phone first, and use this instead."
"He also said that if you want to do something, you need to bleed some blood first."
Ye Xiu let go of his hand and let the fragments fall. He had a lazy smile on his face, the corners of his mouth were curved, and he looked up at the ugly bearded man.
In the dark sky, the pair of golden eyes belonging to predators pinned on each other, revealing the calm appearance, and the coldness underneath.
☆、Chapter 27 28: Turn into Bubbles (Old Version)
28- (1)
Earlier, Ye Xiu stood behind the group of humans, quietly waiting for them to check the monitor.
Because of the rain, Su Muqiu's smell has faded away. He can catch that vague breath, but with the help of human technology, he can locate a more precise direction for him.
He glanced at Zhang Xinjie who was giving instructions to the H city police unit.
No matter who this Zhang Xinjie is, why a person affiliated with the research institute can command the police, and why he seems to be very used to taking on such a role, it is undoubtedly a great help now.
Several computers were placed in the temporarily dispatched large car, and the police were busy checking all the monitors around the crime scene, dragging the time bar to confirm each frame of the picture, suddenly, a person shouted : "Report, found it!"
"Where did he go?" Zhang Xinjie asked.
"Mr. Zhang, the person your research institute is looking for...he didn't leave by himself. According to the surveillance footage, he should have been attacked and taken away after being knocked out."
"Kidnapping?!" Startled, Xiao Chen stepped past Zhang Xinjie and asked loudly, "How is his injury? Where did the kidnapper go!?"
The personnel quickly called up the video.In the small fuzzy window with a rather low resolution, the boy dragged the girl and ran quickly across the street, and another boy with dyed blond hair chased after him a few steps behind. It took only a blink of an eye for their figures to pass through the screen.
A few minutes later, an ordinary black box car drove by and stopped at the corner of the screen. The door was opened, and a figure flickered. The blond boy carried Su Muqiu who seemed to be in a coma, and threw him into the car inside.Su Muqiu's shirt is light-colored. Even in the video, where the color difference is very close to black and white, it is still easy to see that there are large blood spots on the back collar of his shirt.The blond boy got out of the car again. Holding an inexplicable brick in one hand, he took the struggling Su Mucheng from a tall and strong adult man, and threw him into the car as well. He got in the car and closed the back door. He returned to the driver's seat and the car drove away quickly.
The police officers acted quickly, and immediately started the program to identify the license plate number, trying to find out the identity of the kidnapper, and switched the monitor records according to the direction of the vehicle's departure. Another person beside him was drawing the traveling route on the map.The team leader of this search operation looked at it for a while, and drew a dummy on the road map with his fingertips, pointing out the possible range: "Mr. Zhang, the prisoner is likely to take the hostages to the west of the city, and there is likely to be their hiding place in this area." Place."
In a low voice, he instructed his subordinates to call up the area map, which was the gray area of City H in the old city.
Some black households and people with complex identities are mixed together, living in narrow and tight illegal farm houses, plus various unscrupulous workshops, and even illegal activities such as human trafficking secretly, the composition is very chaotic.
Nowadays, while the difference between the upper urban area and the old urban area is getting bigger and bigger, the dark areas in these cities continue to expand like black ink dripping into the water, and it is difficult to eradicate them. There was no way to find out where the target was hiding for a while.Regardless of the reason why the kidnappers took Su Muqiu away, that was indeed the most likely hiding place.
Moreover, there is a great chance that before finding Su Muqiu and Su Mucheng, the other party took advantage of the favorable location to transfer them and escaped from City H smoothly, making it difficult to track them down.
At the same time that Zhang Xinjie nodded, the security manpower dispatched by the research institute had already cooperated with the supporting riot armed police, and several teams left quickly in an orderly pace.
Zhang Xinjie wanted to talk to the mermaid's relations, but found that Ye Xiu was not there. He glanced around, only to see two young men and women running in from the door.Those two people seemed to know Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu, and they were waiting for the result in the car with the former, but for some reason they came running from outside at this moment, and they both seemed in a hurry to ignore the rain that wet most of their shoulders.
Zhang Xinjie was about to ask, but the other party took the initiative to explain the situation.
"Ye Xiu left alone... He ran too fast and suddenly disappeared. We missed him." Yu Wenzhou frowned.
"he left?"
"After confirming the direction, he rushed out..." Yu Wenzhou guessed, "Maybe he went to find Su Muqiu by himself."
"I understand, I'll let them pay attention." Zhang Xinjie immediately turned to tell the police that there was a 15-year-old boy added to the target.
The young policeman walking next to Zhang Xinjie nodded. Seeing them taking a step forward and preparing to drive to the scene, Tang Rou caught up with her and insisted on helping to find someone. She promised that as long as Ye Xiu was found, she would return and wait for the result. It will affect the arrangements of the police.
Tang Rou was a little worried about Ye Xiu. She still remembered that when Ye Xiu saw the pool of blood at the scene, he showed violent mood swings for a moment.Tang Rou was afraid that he would lose his mind and run into the prisoner by herself, causing an accident instead.After all, she was an acquaintance, she didn't want to just sit and wait.Yu Wenzhou came here with Tang Rou, out of emotion and reason, he would not watch a girl go into danger alone, he stood beside Tang Rou, expressing his attitude.
The police struggled to convince the two to stay here. They were going to catch the kidnappers, in case they were armed?What if there is an ambush?All kinds of emergencies may not necessarily take their safety into consideration.
"Take them." Zhang Xinjie said suddenly.
"Huh? But...Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The police officer hesitated for a moment, but still followed the instructions and arranged for the two to set off with the first team.
Even so, halfway through, the policeman still couldn't help dissuading him in private: "Isn't that good? This kind of thing is somewhat dangerous, and ordinary citizens shouldn't participate. If they are implicated and injured, the higher-ups will investigate it... "
"I will take responsibility." Zhang Xinjie pushed down his glasses, "And, taking them is for safety reasons to avoid loss of personnel."
The policeman was surprised: "What do you mean? Are they very powerful?"
Just as Zhang Xinjie was about to explain, he noticed that Xiao Chen, a researcher, was following him. He maintained his usual obedient and cooperative assistant and walked obliquely behind, so Zhang Xinjie didn't speak anymore, and let the policeman look confused.
His considerations were indeed quite different.
It has nothing to do with the safety of that Ye Xiu, but he assumes that in the worst case, the mermaid is stimulated and out of control, then no amount of people will be enough to kill the out-of-control male mermaid. Familiar people and things are present, maybe it can To ease the situation.
Zhang Xinjie didn't consider the possibility of not finding the mermaid.
Ye Xiu, who broke into the research institute alone, didn't know that his eyes clearly proved that he would find Su Muqiu no matter the cost, and he would definitely find Su Muqiu.Since they will not be separated, finding one is tantamount to grasping the whereabouts of the other.
——In this way, it doesn't matter who is the mermaid, Ye Xiu or Su Muqiu.
The place where the group of prisoners hide is twists and turns, the narrow and dirty houses are closely connected with each other, full of dark and narrow alleys, and only one person can pass through, like a huge ant nest in the city, it is estimated that a fire can be burned for three consecutive days Days and nights.
Compared with driving around from the outside, walking is not much slower. After confirming the marked area, Ye Xiu immediately turned and walked into the rainstorm.
What's more, he didn't have the patience to accompany the group of humans to form a team. He counted the equipment before setting off slowly.
He can wait, but he is afraid that Su Muqiu will not be able to wait.
Ye Xiu closed his eyes, put the glaring bright red streets behind him, and focused all his energy on finding Su Muqiu and Su Mucheng, and suppressing Yuwei who wanted to restore his original state.
In this heavy rain, the humid air made the scales swell like knives, piercing fiercely into the flesh of his legs, interfering with Ye Xiu's movements all the time.But he still walks quietly and quickly, without any instability, and the research institute with an unknown position is just behind, and he knows that he must not lose the chain at this time.
Otherwise, it would be ineffective to rescue him, and Mu Qiu would be angry.
He smiled silently.
The torrential rain seemed to wash away all the dirt accumulated in the city for a long time. The sewage seeped into the shoes, and the fine fish scales at the ends came into contact with the wastewater mixed with unknown chemicals, and became more sore. Ye Xiu ignored it and controlled his slightly twitching legs Step forward step by step, chasing the residual smell in the air.
The rain came so unluckily and so immediately, the rain made him consume a lot of energy to lock up his instincts, and at the same time, it was of great benefit to him, who was originally an aquatic race.
Ye Xiu found the man in the surveillance screen who handed Su Mucheng to the blond boy outside a narrow room that exuded a pungent smell.
The other party pretended to be a homeless person, monitoring the surrounding wind and grass, and rolled his treacherous small eyes. The moment Ye Xiu met his eyes, he walked over, kicked the plastic chair the other party was sitting on, and slammed into the embarrassing The man who fell to the ground and ate shit raised his eyebrows.
The other party blushed,
☆、Chapter 26 27: Mermaid's Tears (old version)
The author has something to say: starting from chapter 27, there are two branch lines, one leads to the end, and the other leads to the end of the second part.
Old Version→End
Modified version → Doomsday
Before Su Muqiu opened his eyes, he felt a warm liquid on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.There was a dull pain in the back of the head, with a sense of dizziness that could not tell the direction, and the voice in the ear sounded hazy and vague, as if separated by an extremely long distance.
On the far side, it seemed that someone was sobbing suppressedly.
His intuitive reaction is not right—generally speaking, when he wakes up, no matter if he wakes up from cold, heat, or stuffiness, there will be a head resting on him, using him as a pillow, or wrapping a pair of No matter how bad his fish tail is, there will be another steady breathing sound.
So he didn't open his eyes immediately, but maintained his posture calmly, and began to sort out all the fragments that could be fished out of his mind, and waited for the dizziness to subside by the way.
Because of the promise to make breakfast, Su Muqiu got up early and prepared to cook a particularly hearty breakfast, preferably one that Ye Xiu would never forget.
It was a bright night after winter, although it was early morning, the room was still dark.He gently moved away Ye Xiu who was lying on his chest. There was not much movement, but the latter woke up immediately: "Mu Qiu."
"Are you used to looking for me as soon as you wake up? How old are you?"
"..." The young man counted with his fingers.
"…Are you awake?"
"Awake." Ye Xiu huddled under the blanket and replied.
Su Muqiu couldn't help laughing out loud, this guy looked sober, but he could tell from his eyes that Ye Xiu was actually sleepy.
Probably, he didn't rest until midnight again.Su Muqiu suppressed his smile, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ye Xiu, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to pull Ye Xiu's messy black hair out of the quilt, and put it on the pillow: "I just went to lie in the toilet, it's not yet dawn, Let's sleep a little longer."
Hearing his rare gentle tone, Ye Xiu was about to get up in a jerk. A vein stretched out on Su Muqiu's forehead, and he patted him on the head, telling you to sleep. Ye Xiu finally lay down with peace of mind, squinting his eyes. fast asleep.
Su Muqiu pinched his face, and then walked out of the room with black lines all over his face.Although he asked Ye Xiu to help him last night, he still wouldn't really take action against such a heartless thing as sending a fish that stayed up all night to watch the door.
When Su Muqiu was standing in the kitchen rolling up her sleeves, Su Mucheng got up. As soon as she heard that she was going to make breakfast, she volunteered to help her brother. Su Muqiu rubbed the top of her hair and asked the little girl to help take the ingredients out of the refrigerator.Su Mucheng responded, and filled the table with materials, and finally tilted her head and said, "Brother, I've run out of eggs."
"Is that so?" Su Muqiu looked at the time and took off his apron: "It's still early anyway, I'll go to the market and I'll be back later."
"I also need to go!"
"Okay."
Seeing that the sky outside was gloomy with light drizzle, Su Muqiu held up an umbrella, locked the door, and led Su Mucheng out.
In the middle of the journey, the brothers and sisters had just turned a corner when suddenly someone jumped out from behind the flower garden. Su Muqiu's heart tightened, and he immediately put his sister behind him. After a careful look, he saw that the person standing in front was only a young man of the same age. Dressed like a street punk.
The other party shouted excitedly: "Stop! Rob!"
He yelled this sentence with full of air, and the volume was so loud that he wished that all the residents within a hundred miles could hear it and immediately call the police for the victim.
"Don't get excited, I will cooperate, but do you think I have the money to grab it for you?" Su Muqiu spread his hands, letting the other party see the popular Taobao models and counterfeit sneakers on his body.
The other party looked at it seriously: "No."
"That's right!" Su Muqiu looked apologetic, "It's not good to waste your time as soon as you start work in the morning, and it's a waste of your time. Why don't you let us go first, and then find another one. We promise not to make any noise."
Su Mucheng hid behind her brother and made a movement of zipping her mouth.
"Sounds very reasonable." The young man nodded, turned around and ran away, Su Muqiu was still thinking about the unexpected, and saw the young man running to a van on the street, banging on the black paint. Painted car windows: "He said he has no money to grab! Should we change our target!"
The car window was rolled down a crack, and the man behind had a distorted expression: "Fuck you... If you say it a few times, it's not a robbery, we're going to kidnap for ransom... Damn! Baozi, the target has escaped, go after him!"
"Oh!" The steamed bun boy turned his head, and saw Su Muqiu, who was experienced and seasoned, made a decisive decision, and had already dragged his sister away. He had the advantage of having long legs, and he ran away a long way in a short while.
Baozi quickly caught up, looked left and right, grabbed a loose brick from the edge of the flowerbed, shouted and looked at the brick, after a very standard discus throwing preparation posture, in the clear sound of breaking the air, the brick swished It flew out, drew a beautiful parabola, and attacked Su Muqiu directly.
Hearing the whistling wind behind his head, Su Muqiu moved quickly, the umbrella blocked him again, and the brick passed by. Into the rain, blinked his eyes, just this moment of distraction, he accidentally tripped over the unrepaired hole in the street, and hit the back of his head straight.Before Su Mucheng fell into a coma on the spot under the nervous cry, there was only one thing in his mind, that is, how many years will it take for the damn floor tiles to be repaired...? !
In vain of his fame... No, what happened to Mucheng? !
Su Muqiu opened his eyes abruptly.
Directly in front of him, not far away, was the rogue-looking teenager with dyed blond hair, who was staring at him eagerly.
The brick in the hand of the lost boy is too familiar. He is an old acquaintance. Not long ago, he almost touched his head intimately. The corner was still stained with blood. It is probably the blood that flowed out after he fell into a coma. Completely indirect murder weapon.
Su Muqiu shouted depressedly: "Damn, who are you!"
Without warning, the boy raised up the bloody brick in his hand.
Su Muqiu smiled like a flower: "What's the name of this hero?"
The boy replied loudly: "Oh, I'm Baozi!"
"Then you know my sister..."
"elder brother!"
Su Muqiu heard the reputation and looked over, and saw his sister leaning against her feet, her small face was covered with dust, there were still some tears, her tied hairstyle was messed up, and she was staring at him with red eye circles.Su Muqiu tried his best to show a calm smile, and wanted to reach out to wipe her face clean, only to realize that his hands were tied behind the chair.
Su Muqiu looked around and found that they were in a small old room, which was full of debris that could be classified as tattered. The abandoned old sofa was covered with dust, and there were spider webs hanging on the corners.There are no windows in the room, only a thick iron door that was obviously added later. There is a ventilation window near the ceiling, but it is equipped with a deadly iron railing.
No matter which city you are in, this kind of place is not uncommon.
Su Muqiu clearly realized that he and Mucheng had been kidnapped──he remembered that there was a car parked on the side of the street at that time, the boy obviously had other accomplices, and this crime was not a temporary one.Perhaps these kidnappers were among the people who had been following him and Ye Xiu.
And he was sitting on the only usable chair in the room, his hands were bound, but his body was not bound, but when he lowered his head, his eyes turned black, and blood dripped down on the half-stained skin. On the shirt, it looked particularly miserable.
No wonder he always felt dizzy, and he was not tied up and thrown into the corner, probably because he didn't seem capable of resisting at all.
I don't think I can wear this dress anymore...
Su Muqiu was thinking about something unimportant, when Baozi Tianwai said, "Are you a mermaid?"
"What... a mermaid? Me?" Su Muqiu was stunned.
"The group of big brothers said, 'This guy has a lot to do with the mermaid, he must be able to ask for a lot of money', and they chased him from City B, so you are a real mermaid? Will mermaid tears turn into pearls?" Baozi explain.
"This... no!" Su Muqiu was ashamed. When ordinary people heard that sentence, wouldn't they directly understand that this person is rich because he has an acquired mermaid? "You misunderstood. Mermaids were originally human beings the day after tomorrow, and human tears will not turn into pearls."
"But human beings can become mermaids, and they can have children!" Baozi boy asked seriously, "Why don't mermaid tears turn into pearls after such strange things happen?"
Su Muqiu was not in the mood to continue explaining, he said something to make me think about how to answer, and then he acted like he was in deep thought, actually thinking about ways to get out of trouble.Baozi nodded, and really squatted aside patiently waiting for the answer.
Now, there are only Su Muqiu, Su Mucheng and this bun in the room.With his blood remaining and restraint, Su Mucheng moved freely and didn't cry. There was a little scratch that didn't bother him, but the hand that was holding on to his trousers trembled slightly.Su Muqiu felt a little sorry in his heart, knowing that Su Mucheng would be so worried, probably because he bled too much, which was shocking.
However, Su Muqiu felt that his body was fine. Although the blood flow was terrible, apart from blood loss and dizziness, there seemed to be no other major problems.
Then, Su Muqiu looked around. Although there were many sundries in the whole room, it was a pity that they were all far away from him. In short, it was not within the distance that he could get it in his hand quietly. Even if he could get it, there was nothing useful here. Items, probably the kidnappers disposed of them in advance.
This bun is still able to communicate, maybe it's an opportunity.
After deciding on the direction, Su Muqiu asked tentatively: "Before I answer you...can you tell me how you got together with 'those big brothers'?"
"You're telling me, you're an undercover agent?" Baozi said seriously.
"No, how could I be an undercover agent." Su Muqiu reasoned with him, "I'm covered in blood and tied up, how can I look like an undercover agent? This is called a hostage, isn't it normal for a hostage to ask questions?"
"Really?" Baozi was suspicious.
"Yes." Su Muqiu replied, and he said sincerely, or I can change the sentence, who am I, who are you, where am I? Why did you kidnap me?
Baozi suddenly realized and agreed with his statement.Then Su Muqiu, with blood all over his head and face, said miserably that if he was going to die, let him die. Su Mucheng, who was next to him, shed tears under Su Muqiu's hint. Describe what you know.
The reason why the public security and inspections in Shangcheng District are so strict is that besides being a core city where many political and business dignitaries live, it is because there are many acquired mermaids living there.Any mermaid is worth a lot of money, depending on its quality, the price can vary by several grades. Therefore, even if you are caught kidnapping or selling a mermaid privately, you will be punished with severe punishment, but if you catch it One can lie down and count banknotes without removing one's hands. Many people can't resist the temptation of huge profits, and they are still doing this business relentlessly.
The mermaid party in City B was well-known in some circles. The organizers had a way to ensure that so many mermaids got together at the same time. Naturally, they were a little capable, but they didn't care about things outside the scope of the villa.
The group who kidnapped Su Muqiu has been secretly kidnapping mermaids for several years. They were originally the one who strongly opposed the existence of mermaids, and later they even started kidnapping to make money. They usually pick collectors who bring a lot of mermaids. And will never grab the best quality inside, very cunning.This caused headaches for those collectors, and they hesitated whether to put in effort to hunt them down, but considering that the robbed mermaids were nothing special, and that most of those mermaids were related to black market population, they might as well consider themselves unlucky.
It's a pity that although they will pick their targets, it still doesn't mean that they are completely risk-free, and they were almost caught by the police several times.
However, this year, there was a boy who took a private car from a building, and brought a mermaid wearing a brand-name custom-made model to the party alone. There was no bodyguard, and he looked like he was running away from home...
Su Muqiu: "Wait a minute, is that person talking about me?"
Although I don't know where I sent the mermaid halfway, I'm still a bit smart, but I foolishly ran to City H to experience life and live in a place where there is no security at all...
Su Muqiu: "..."
Baozi: "The group of big brothers said that instead of selling mermaids, it is better to let your family pay to redeem you. Maybe you can get a thank you fee if you catch the young master who ran away from home."
Alone, bring the expensive mermaid to the upper-level exchange gatherings, and then go to the old city... Su Muqiu heard that, and felt that he would steal someone.
"Then why did you hang out with them? It doesn't sound like you are in the same group." Su Muqiu asked.
"I was helping to watch the scene nearby. They suddenly appeared a few days ago and said that the little brother next to you is too vigilant. You must ask me for help. Just stop you."
Baozi felt that the answer was irrelevant to the question, Su Muqiu patiently made a few indirect remarks, and finally guessed the reason - Baozi was about the same age as them, and the kidnapper guessed that this might make the two of them take it easy and create a chance for them to use the phone, so they found a reason to frame Baozi. help.Unexpectedly, Su Muqiu, the rich n-generation in the eyes of the kidnappers, took the little girl out alone this morning.
"So, your mission is complete, why are you still here?"
"I have a new task. I'm responsible for watching you. If you wake up, tell them." Baozi thought for a while, then touched the communicator on his waist: "I'll let you know!"
Su Muqiu was taken aback, but before Baozi touched the communicator, the radio-like device heard a rustling sound of electricity, and a rough male voice sounded quite dissatisfied: "Hey, is that young master still awake? "
"Wake up! We're talking."
There was a noise of pushing tables and chairs from the communicator, the male voice cursed a few foul words, and there was the sound of a door being knocked open, and then the communication was cut off.
This is by no means a friendly message.
Su Muqiu's whole body tensed suddenly, he glanced around hastily, saw Su Mucheng who was holding back his fear, he immediately made a judgment, decided to put all his eggs in one basket, his eyes fell on Baozi who was beating on the communicator suspiciously.
"Hey! I'll tell you a secret."
"Although I'm not a mermaid, I know a real mermaid, and that's why they caught me. Baozi, do you want to see a real mermaid? I wonder if a mermaid's tears will turn into pearls?"
He couldn't hide his eagerness, so his tone was a little more serious. His tone of aggressive salesmanship was like that of someone selling pots, pans, and knife sets on a TV show, but his expression was completely opposite.
After making sure that Baozi looked at him, as if he was curious about what he mentioned, Su Muqiu spoke very quickly, but whispered very clearly: "I can take you to see the mermaid, there is only one condition, that is, no matter what happens later , you must protect my sister—"
Just when Baozi nodded solemnly, and Su Mucheng called out anxiously for brother, the iron door was angrily pushed open, and a bearded man stepped into the room. He cursed with a ferocious expression: "Damn! I told you to watch him, not to chat with him!"
Baozi was quite serious: "I have been watching him! There is absolutely no slack!"
"I'm telling you... Forget it!" The thick and thick man was angry, the muscles on one side of his face were crookedly stiff, he turned his head and stared at Su Muqiu with a sneer: "Master, how did you sleep well?"
Su Muqiu originally had no emotion on his face, but after hearing this sentence, a voice like someone lazily saying, "It's not bad, but the chair is a bit hard" floated in his mind, and he could almost imagine the lazily shaking With its silver tail fin, he couldn't help laughing for a moment.
The rough man only took the low laugh as a sarcasm, his facial muscles twitched, and seeing the boy getting more and more upset, he raised his leg and kicked his knee away from the side.
The knee hit Su Muqiu's side hard, and Su Muqiu, who was blocked from moving, was kicked out on the spot, including the chair, and hit the ground hard.There were a few slaps on his forehead, and a lot of blood fell on the ground again. Su Muqiu felt a burning pain in his side, his face was pale, his arm was bitten by the chair, and he was numb and unable to exert any strength.
"Okay, young master, after saying hello, I think we can introduce ourselves now." The big man squatted in front of Su Muqiu, looking at the blood-stained boy, "Who am I? You don't need me." I know, as for you, we have searched for so long and found nothing except your fake identity in H city, so you'd better tell your identity background honestly, so we can contact your family and spend a little money to take you Go back, will you?"
"I…"
"What?" The big man leaned closer.
It took a while for Su Muqiu to restrain the slight trembling caused by the pain in his voice, and said, I have no money.
The big guy oh oh twice, and he said yes, I'm sorry to tie up the wrong person, then he clenched his fist, the muscles in his upper arm stretched, and the fist came down with a bang, hitting Su Muqiu's abdomen hard, the latter grunted and retched Lying on the ground, panting uncontrollably.
"You still naively think that we don't know where you took the mermaid? You say you have no money? Then your family must have money!?"
Su Muqiu was silent.
The big man punched him a few more times, and there was a muffled sound as the fists slammed hard. Seeing that the dying Su Muqiu just clenched his teeth, even though the pain was so painful that he bit his lip, he still had a face of forbearance. You, ask your sister instead! Where is the little girl—come here for me!"
Su Muqiu's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. Half of his vision was stained red with blood, and the colors he saw were chaotic and mixed. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the big man approaching Su Mucheng who was huddled in the corner.Her small body shrank into a ball, her eyes were full of tears, and she was visibly trembling, but just like her brother, she stubbornly refused to cry.
When the thick and burly man stretched out his arms with hideous tattoos to pull her hair, Bao Zi rushed out and stood in front of the little girl without hesitation, refusing to back down even a single step.
"Hey, you still suddenly want to play a game of heroes? Get the hell out of my way. When we get the money, do you want anything?" The big man sneered.
"No!" Baozi replied.
"It's not that you're blocking here?!"
"Can't let it go."
"Is it possible that you, a street gangster, will suddenly repent?"
"I said no." Baozi frowned, with a look of reproach for why you couldn't understand people's language.
The big man stared at him for a while, but he really couldn't communicate, and it was too troublesome to beat him up--the kid was still holding a brick in his hand.The big man's anger was rising, he gave up on Su Mucheng, looked back at Su Muqiu who fell weakly on the ground, and kicked him violently again to vent his anger.
"I...really... cough, cough, cough!" Su Muqiu trembled in pain, arched his back, coughed heart-piercingly, and lay down in a small pool of blood, breathless.
Seeing that the man would lose his breath if he beat him again, the big man stared at the blood stains on the upper of his shoe with hatred, wiped the blood on his clothes casually, and then threw down a sentence in a rage, "Give him chili water and see if he can be tough." By the time ' left.
After the sound of the other party's heavy footsteps disappeared, Su Mucheng immediately rushed to Su Muqiu's side. She took out a clean white handkerchief and carefully pressed it next to the wound on the back of her head. After a while, the whole handkerchief was soaked in blood, and the little girl burst into tears. live tumble.Su Muqiu seemed to be going into the coffin with only one breath left, but when Su Mucheng held him tightly, he opened his eyes and winked at her.
His eyes are sober, and there is a little light in his light-colored pupils, which is a hint every time he wants to play tricks. Su Mucheng's eyes brighten up, and she winks firmly at him.
Baozi lifted Su Muqiu up from the chair, followed the instructions of the big man and brought a large bucket of red liquid. He twisted the lid to make sure that Su Muqiu's eyes hurt from the burning smell after a long distance.In addition to irritating the wound, the chili water will also hinder the healing. If he was really drenched all over his head, he guessed that he would be able to explain it here just by losing blood.
Su Muqiu was quick to wit: "Wait! I suggest you don't do this."
Baozi turned his head: "Why?"
"If it were you, would you be angry if you were beaten and doused with pepper water?" Su Muqiu put on a weak appearance that would faint at any time, emphasizing that if you continue to struggle, you will have to go to the resurrection point to find him, and followed the persuasion: "You See, I've been very cooperative, right, if you make me faint or die, how do you know who to ask for blackmail, and how do you ask me to call for help when you call, and get the money to redeem me?"
Su Muqiu himself felt that this passage was a bit unconvincing, but Baozi's brain circuit was obviously different from ordinary people. He nodded in agreement, took the chili water back, and praised Su Muqiu for his quick response. Su Muqiu blushed again and thought for a while. After the meeting, he quietly asked, will you help us escape?
"No, it's a matter of morality." Baozi said solemnly, although he felt that this group of people was not a good thing, but he promised to be the first to take care of them.
Su Muqiu originally asked without expecting, and was not surprised to get this answer.
He calculated all the things that could be used at the moment, and quickly conceived the way to escape. For a while, his mind began to dizzy again, he felt a little weak all over his body, and his abdomen ached.Knowing that he was not in good condition, Su Muqiu leaned on the chair to reduce physical exertion, and said helplessly, "Anyway, I'm sorry, I feel that I might...before that, can I have a private conversation with my sister..."
"What constellation are you from?" Baozi asked suddenly.
"Libra." Su Muqiu followed him to answer.
"Oh, this constellation, your constellation is like this. But don't worry, I checked, your injury is not serious, and I bleed a lot when I fell last time." After Baozi finished speaking, he ran to the corner and carried his back. He covered his ears to the two, indicating that he would never eavesdrop.
Although the reaction was a bit heavenly, Baozi really helped protect Mucheng, and he didn't tell the big brother that he looked miserable, but it was actually a good thing, otherwise he might have suffered a lot.At least on this point, Su Muqiu said thank you in a low voice.
Because he didn't know when the bearded man would stand up and beat someone up again, every second counted, Su Mucheng tried to untie the rope for Su Muqiu but failed, so he asked Su Mucheng to take off the hair ornament in a low voice.
The hair accessory was in the shape of an inconspicuous orange, and upon closer inspection one would find that it was made of exquisite metal workmanship, and it was brought to the little girl by him and Ye Xiu when they went to City B.With her hands behind her back, Su Muqiu groped and deftly removed the small green leaves on the hair ornament, and asked Su Mucheng to dip the orange hair ornament into the blood-stained handkerchief, almost completely dyed bright red, and then carefully removed the From the inconspicuous position by the crack of the door, the hair ornament was pushed out.
After Ye Xiu found out that they were missing, he would definitely come to look for them.
I hope this will speed up the speed of finding them a little bit... The handkerchief is too obvious, if they are discovered, it may make them more troublesome.
At this time, Baozi happened to turn around and asked if they agreed. He saw Su Mucheng by the door, and also saw her actions. He probably didn't violate the item of "looking good at people", and he didn't stop the little girl.
Su Muqiu exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and tried his best to recover as much time as possible. He flipped his wrist, clamped the metal leaf less than the size of a fingernail, and cut the rope on his wrist calmly.
Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu...!
...
The black-haired and black-eyed boy raised his head thoughtfully. The torrential rain continued outside the eaves, with rumbling and muffled noises. The air was so humid that it seemed to be immersed in water, which made the humans who belonged to terrestrial species become irritable.
The few tall and strong men who carried him were obviously depressed by the rain. In order to express their irritability, they laughed at Ye Xiu who was looking up at the sky: "Hahaha, kid, don't you have the guts to barge into our place to ask for someone?" , but you don’t have the guts to be afraid of thunder?”
"Oh, I just feel that I heard someone call me through gritted teeth, saying that if I don't go to escort, I will wait to be chopped up by him."
Several people laughed louder and laughed wildly: "Don't worry, you will be chopped up by us later!"
One of them was grinning, and pushed open one of the doors of countless old houses: "Hey, boss, we found a kid outside, saying he came to please us—"
Ye Xiu blinked, staring straight at the people in the room.
A burly man was sitting at the table drinking tea with a displeased face. The blood stains on his collar and shoes were all Ye Xiu's familiar smell.
"What kind of garbage did you bring back?" The big man snorted coldly, "Another kid playing hero games?"
The group of tall and burly subordinates laughed and pushed the boy's shoulders, but did not push.
They laughed for a moment.
Ye Xiu struggled easily, then escaped from the restraints, loosened his shoulders leisurely, and said thank you, thank you for leading the way, you are really a dedicated watchdog.
One of them immediately said angrily, "What did you say—"
He had only spoken half a sentence.
He took half a step towards the ignorant young man.
In such an instant, with a touch, mixed with a slight cracking sound that made the scalp tingle, the 1.9-meter-long man crashed down without a sound, and the warm bloody red liquid slowly overflowed, flowing over the At the feet of the people who couldn't react to the sudden change of the situation.
Ye Xiu shook off the blood on his fingertips, and raised his head slightly. At this moment, the thick and thick man quickly grabbed the hot iron kettle on the table, and slammed it hard on Ye Xiu's forehead with a loud bang. occasion.
The scalding hot tea mixed with the rich green herbal incense was poured on Ye Xiu's body, and the latter quickly covered his eyes, letting the tea splash all over his body, and the boiling hot water created a small stream of steaming water.
Being doused with scalding hot water, no matter how severe it is, as long as it is a human being, it will be scalded. The big man smiled sullenly, and was about to order his subordinates to arrest him and treat the kid who had eaten the heart of a beast, but he did not expect that He squinted his eyes from the heat, his complexion was slightly reddish, but there was no reaction.
The big man was close enough, close enough to detect the surface layer of what looked like human skin, with the outline of delicate scales looming. He widened his eyes, while Ye Xiu calmly let the tea flow down, and smoothed his bangs that were still dripping. Stretch back.
Outside, in the gloomy sky, a flash of thunder suddenly fell, the thunder was deafening, and after the dazzling white light, there was a crackling sound, and all the lights in the room were suddenly extinguished.
Humans fell into a panic for a moment, but the mermaid was not affected by this darkness. Ye Xiu took a few steps lazily, picked up the communicator that the big man threw on the table, and with a little force, amidst the sound of teeth grinding against metal, only Hand twisted into pieces.
"I'm sorry, my Patriarch told me that if you want to cut it, you should cut the phone first, and use this instead."
"He also said that if you want to do something, you need to bleed some blood first."
Ye Xiu let go of his hand and let the fragments fall. He had a lazy smile on his face, the corners of his mouth were curved, and he looked up at the ugly bearded man.
In the dark sky, the pair of golden eyes belonging to predators pinned on each other, revealing the calm appearance, and the coldness underneath.
☆、Chapter 27 28: Turn into Bubbles (Old Version)
28- (1)
Earlier, Ye Xiu stood behind the group of humans, quietly waiting for them to check the monitor.
Because of the rain, Su Muqiu's smell has faded away. He can catch that vague breath, but with the help of human technology, he can locate a more precise direction for him.
He glanced at Zhang Xinjie who was giving instructions to the H city police unit.
No matter who this Zhang Xinjie is, why a person affiliated with the research institute can command the police, and why he seems to be very used to taking on such a role, it is undoubtedly a great help now.
Several computers were placed in the temporarily dispatched large car, and the police were busy checking all the monitors around the crime scene, dragging the time bar to confirm each frame of the picture, suddenly, a person shouted : "Report, found it!"
"Where did he go?" Zhang Xinjie asked.
"Mr. Zhang, the person your research institute is looking for...he didn't leave by himself. According to the surveillance footage, he should have been attacked and taken away after being knocked out."
"Kidnapping?!" Startled, Xiao Chen stepped past Zhang Xinjie and asked loudly, "How is his injury? Where did the kidnapper go!?"
The personnel quickly called up the video.In the small fuzzy window with a rather low resolution, the boy dragged the girl and ran quickly across the street, and another boy with dyed blond hair chased after him a few steps behind. It took only a blink of an eye for their figures to pass through the screen.
A few minutes later, an ordinary black box car drove by and stopped at the corner of the screen. The door was opened, and a figure flickered. The blond boy carried Su Muqiu who seemed to be in a coma, and threw him into the car inside.Su Muqiu's shirt is light-colored. Even in the video, where the color difference is very close to black and white, it is still easy to see that there are large blood spots on the back collar of his shirt.The blond boy got out of the car again. Holding an inexplicable brick in one hand, he took the struggling Su Mucheng from a tall and strong adult man, and threw him into the car as well. He got in the car and closed the back door. He returned to the driver's seat and the car drove away quickly.
The police officers acted quickly, and immediately started the program to identify the license plate number, trying to find out the identity of the kidnapper, and switched the monitor records according to the direction of the vehicle's departure. Another person beside him was drawing the traveling route on the map.The team leader of this search operation looked at it for a while, and drew a dummy on the road map with his fingertips, pointing out the possible range: "Mr. Zhang, the prisoner is likely to take the hostages to the west of the city, and there is likely to be their hiding place in this area." Place."
In a low voice, he instructed his subordinates to call up the area map, which was the gray area of City H in the old city.
Some black households and people with complex identities are mixed together, living in narrow and tight illegal farm houses, plus various unscrupulous workshops, and even illegal activities such as human trafficking secretly, the composition is very chaotic.
Nowadays, while the difference between the upper urban area and the old urban area is getting bigger and bigger, the dark areas in these cities continue to expand like black ink dripping into the water, and it is difficult to eradicate them. There was no way to find out where the target was hiding for a while.Regardless of the reason why the kidnappers took Su Muqiu away, that was indeed the most likely hiding place.
Moreover, there is a great chance that before finding Su Muqiu and Su Mucheng, the other party took advantage of the favorable location to transfer them and escaped from City H smoothly, making it difficult to track them down.
At the same time that Zhang Xinjie nodded, the security manpower dispatched by the research institute had already cooperated with the supporting riot armed police, and several teams left quickly in an orderly pace.
Zhang Xinjie wanted to talk to the mermaid's relations, but found that Ye Xiu was not there. He glanced around, only to see two young men and women running in from the door.Those two people seemed to know Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu, and they were waiting for the result in the car with the former, but for some reason they came running from outside at this moment, and they both seemed in a hurry to ignore the rain that wet most of their shoulders.
Zhang Xinjie was about to ask, but the other party took the initiative to explain the situation.
"Ye Xiu left alone... He ran too fast and suddenly disappeared. We missed him." Yu Wenzhou frowned.
"he left?"
"After confirming the direction, he rushed out..." Yu Wenzhou guessed, "Maybe he went to find Su Muqiu by himself."
"I understand, I'll let them pay attention." Zhang Xinjie immediately turned to tell the police that there was a 15-year-old boy added to the target.
The young policeman walking next to Zhang Xinjie nodded. Seeing them taking a step forward and preparing to drive to the scene, Tang Rou caught up with her and insisted on helping to find someone. She promised that as long as Ye Xiu was found, she would return and wait for the result. It will affect the arrangements of the police.
Tang Rou was a little worried about Ye Xiu. She still remembered that when Ye Xiu saw the pool of blood at the scene, he showed violent mood swings for a moment.Tang Rou was afraid that he would lose his mind and run into the prisoner by herself, causing an accident instead.After all, she was an acquaintance, she didn't want to just sit and wait.Yu Wenzhou came here with Tang Rou, out of emotion and reason, he would not watch a girl go into danger alone, he stood beside Tang Rou, expressing his attitude.
The police struggled to convince the two to stay here. They were going to catch the kidnappers, in case they were armed?What if there is an ambush?All kinds of emergencies may not necessarily take their safety into consideration.
"Take them." Zhang Xinjie said suddenly.
"Huh? But...Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The police officer hesitated for a moment, but still followed the instructions and arranged for the two to set off with the first team.
Even so, halfway through, the policeman still couldn't help dissuading him in private: "Isn't that good? This kind of thing is somewhat dangerous, and ordinary citizens shouldn't participate. If they are implicated and injured, the higher-ups will investigate it... "
"I will take responsibility." Zhang Xinjie pushed down his glasses, "And, taking them is for safety reasons to avoid loss of personnel."
The policeman was surprised: "What do you mean? Are they very powerful?"
Just as Zhang Xinjie was about to explain, he noticed that Xiao Chen, a researcher, was following him. He maintained his usual obedient and cooperative assistant and walked obliquely behind, so Zhang Xinjie didn't speak anymore, and let the policeman look confused.
His considerations were indeed quite different.
It has nothing to do with the safety of that Ye Xiu, but he assumes that in the worst case, the mermaid is stimulated and out of control, then no amount of people will be enough to kill the out-of-control male mermaid. Familiar people and things are present, maybe it can To ease the situation.
Zhang Xinjie didn't consider the possibility of not finding the mermaid.
Ye Xiu, who broke into the research institute alone, didn't know that his eyes clearly proved that he would find Su Muqiu no matter the cost, and he would definitely find Su Muqiu.Since they will not be separated, finding one is tantamount to grasping the whereabouts of the other.
——In this way, it doesn't matter who is the mermaid, Ye Xiu or Su Muqiu.
The place where the group of prisoners hide is twists and turns, the narrow and dirty houses are closely connected with each other, full of dark and narrow alleys, and only one person can pass through, like a huge ant nest in the city, it is estimated that a fire can be burned for three consecutive days Days and nights.
Compared with driving around from the outside, walking is not much slower. After confirming the marked area, Ye Xiu immediately turned and walked into the rainstorm.
What's more, he didn't have the patience to accompany the group of humans to form a team. He counted the equipment before setting off slowly.
He can wait, but he is afraid that Su Muqiu will not be able to wait.
Ye Xiu closed his eyes, put the glaring bright red streets behind him, and focused all his energy on finding Su Muqiu and Su Mucheng, and suppressing Yuwei who wanted to restore his original state.
In this heavy rain, the humid air made the scales swell like knives, piercing fiercely into the flesh of his legs, interfering with Ye Xiu's movements all the time.But he still walks quietly and quickly, without any instability, and the research institute with an unknown position is just behind, and he knows that he must not lose the chain at this time.
Otherwise, it would be ineffective to rescue him, and Mu Qiu would be angry.
He smiled silently.
The torrential rain seemed to wash away all the dirt accumulated in the city for a long time. The sewage seeped into the shoes, and the fine fish scales at the ends came into contact with the wastewater mixed with unknown chemicals, and became more sore. Ye Xiu ignored it and controlled his slightly twitching legs Step forward step by step, chasing the residual smell in the air.
The rain came so unluckily and so immediately, the rain made him consume a lot of energy to lock up his instincts, and at the same time, it was of great benefit to him, who was originally an aquatic race.
Ye Xiu found the man in the surveillance screen who handed Su Mucheng to the blond boy outside a narrow room that exuded a pungent smell.
The other party pretended to be a homeless person, monitoring the surrounding wind and grass, and rolled his treacherous small eyes. The moment Ye Xiu met his eyes, he walked over, kicked the plastic chair the other party was sitting on, and slammed into the embarrassing The man who fell to the ground and ate shit raised his eyebrows.
The other party blushed,
