Chapter 399: That Morbid and Paranoid Game Development Character (38)
It would be impossible for a middle-aged man to not have the strength to lift a medicine bottle, but in fact, it took all of Long Si's strength to raise his skinny hand.
When the other party of the transaction with Long Fei did not want money, Long Si knew that he had no way out.
Long Fei saw Long Si's hesitation and remained calm. He was not worried that Long Si would refuse. A father could give beyond imagination for his only son.
Although he scoffed at this, he had to admit that Long Si was a good father in the traditional sense.
It would be a shame not to exploit such an obvious weakness.
There was nothing on the table except two teacups. Long Fei pretended to be concerned, "How is your son?"
"...Thanks to your concern, I feel much better now."
"Really, that's good."
He just said a casual word of concern, but before he could say any more pleasantries, the noise outside made him unhappy.
"What's the noise outside?"
Soon, the gang guarding the door pushed open and walked in, their voices filled with fear, "Master, this is bad!"
Long Fei did not forget his character and said in a gentle voice, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"
The gang member was trembling with his teeth chattering. The physical fear made him almost breathless. He squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Three of our brothers died, died..."
Long Fei's eyes narrowed, and he said to Long Si, "Come with me to take a look."
Long Si had no right to refuse.
As they were going downstairs, the gang members following behind trembled and said, "The body has been brought back and is now in the yard."
"Also, there is more..."
When Long Fei walked out of the open door, he saw the crowd in chaos. The corpses were surrounded in the center, leaving a large gap. He was wary and frightened.
Came the last words from the panting gang member.
"Their deaths were exactly the same as those of the four people around Young Master Long Ming!"
Three people were lying flat there, their limbs twisted, their broken bodies pieced together and covered with a piece of clothing. At least judging by their stunned eyes, they looked no different from ordinary corpses.
The scarlet liquid turned the ground beneath them into a pool of blood. The strong smell of rust was nauseating. Even Long Fei, who had killed someone with his own hands, couldn't help but turn pale.
The same is true for other gang members.
It's not that they haven't seen corpses before. They have at least two or three lives on their hands, but whether it's the four people yesterday or the three in front of them, they all make them feel absurd.
This is no longer just murder.
It was a massacre.
Someone said "The young master is coming", and they made way for him. Long Si was surprised to find that there was a person squatting in front of the corpse.
This burly man with a beard was estimated to be about two meters tall. His delicate movements did not match his calloused hands, but no one dared to disturb him.
Only when he heard Long Fei coming did he stand up and give him a look, "All three were cut in half, and they lost their lives without realizing it. The patrol team is composed of three people, and no one is allowed to act alone without orders."
He glanced at the bodies on the ground and said, "These three people are from the same group."
Long Fei's expression was not very good. It was partly because he was acting, but also because he was frightened by the tragic state of the corpses. He said, "You mean, they were cut in half before they could react?"
Some people couldn't help but speak out.
"This is impossible! How much strength does it take to cut a person in half? Could it be that three strong men suddenly appeared and cut these three people in half at the same time?"
"Who said there were three people?"
The air around them suddenly became quiet.
The bearded man seemed unaware of how horrible his words were.
The first member of the gang who spoke uttered a breathy sound, "What a joke... There are not three people, could it be just one——"
"Yes."
The bearded man looked serious, "It's just one man, a man with immense strength, beyond imagination."
"..."
This is a lie, isn't it?!
Long Fei took a deep breath and said, "It's really hard to believe what you said."
"The man was cut in half with one strike, and the three of them didn't even have time to react. There simply aren't weapons of this quality in the Lower City."
The bearded man sighed, "When strength and speed reach a certain level, the quality of the weapon is no longer that important."
A three-year-old child holding a magical weapon, even if this magical weapon can cut hair, is not as good as a rusty paper cutter held by a young man.
It can be seen from this that the focus is not on the weapons, but on the people who use them.
No matter how unwilling he was to believe it, Long Fei had to admit that a master with great strength who liked to chop people in half appeared in their Dragon and Tiger Gang's territory. This master came and went without a trace, like a silent ghost.
"In my opinion, what you need to worry about most is your own safety." The bearded man twitched his face. "Yesterday it was someone close to Master Long Ming, today it is a member of your patrol team, who will be the next one?"
The bearded man asserted.
"He has a grudge against the Dragon and Tiger Gang."
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why they would catch and kill the people from the Dragon and Tiger Gang. People with such abilities would not be restricted by the environment, so this is the only possibility.
Not only Long Fei heard the bearded man's words, but everyone else heard it clearly as well. For a moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and a layer of haze covered the eyes. The corpse was lying right in front of them. Under the tremendous pressure, some people stepped back suspiciously and looked around.
Afraid of becoming the next corpse.
Panic.
"calm!"
He clenched his hands on the sides of his legs to suppress his trembling. No one could remain calm when hearing that there was a terrifying killer hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to strike, and Long Fei was no exception, but he had to force himself to remain calm.
Not only that, he also has to appease his frightened subordinates. Those who can be in the yard are all his people, Long Fei, and anything that makes people unstable must not be allowed to happen!
"Everyone, don't think too much of the enemy. After all, he is only one person. If we gather together, what can he do?"
"If you are worried, my house has enough rooms. You can live with me for the time being. If the killer comes, we can catch him in the trap!"
Humans are creatures with a herd mentality. As long as there is a leader, they will follow the crowd and make choices. When there are more people, they will have unlimited courage.
"Master is right. With so many of us, are we still afraid of just one person?"
"I will be here to protect the young master tonight. If that man dares to come, I will show him which is faster, his knife or my gun!"
"As long as the killer is not caught, we will stay here!"
"Yes!"
The bearded man did not comment on this. He was not considered to be Long Fei's man, but just a hired personal bodyguard. In most cases, he did not participate in the affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Gang.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were calmed down, he dropped another bombshell.
"You can also take precautions in advance. The assassin's first target was the people around Young Master Long Ming, the second was Young Master's men, and the third target was..."
The bearded man's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice as if he was afraid of alarming something, "It's most likely the gang leader."
The people who had just mustered up their courage were stunned.
Yes, it is possible.
But they can't protect the gang leader, right? To be honest, they are also afraid!
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"..."
Long Fei thought more, and while he was feeling palpitations, similar thoughts like 'how can I use this to improve my status in my father's heart' popped up in his mind and could not be shaken off.
His heart beat faster. Such a great opportunity was right in front of him. How could he not be excited?
"What you said... makes sense."
"It's getting late today, so I won't keep you here. We can discuss countermeasures tomorrow."
The bearded man nodded, stepped over the corpse and left. The following words belonged to the internal affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Gang and were not suitable for him to hear, and he was not interested in them.
"Is the matter done?"
The bearded man who was supposed to leave did not go far, but came to an abandoned house and bowed respectfully to the boy on the wooden chair, "It's done."
"Under my guidance, Long Fei will not give up this opportunity. He will probably tell Long Hai tomorrow."
"very good."
The black-haired boy looked up, revealing a familiar face, and smiled, "Foster father said that you have the most flexible mind, and you are a rare person who is good at both civil and military affairs. Now I see that it is true."
"Don't worry, when this is over, I will speak well of you in front of my foster father."
The bearded man said modestly.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
