Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1389 635: The Truth Revealed (Part 4)
Previously on Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'...
He found the wormhole entrance and immediately dove into the wormhole.
But this time he wasn't so lucky, he spent an hour and still couldn't find an exit.
...
Dark Star Bureau, interrogation room, Shen Jingye was interrogating core member Geng Shunxi.
Yesterday, Chen Changrui discovered a security threat on the farm, and Shen Jingye immediately increased security measures.
But Shen Jingye was very aware that relying solely on strict defense would be hard to resolve the issue, so he overnight escorted the main members of Hundred Demons Workshop back to Dark Star Bureau and sent some less valuable ordinary members to Drum Garden Farm.
News came from Drum Garden Farm, a suspect's corpse was seen in the cell.
Hundred Demons Workshop was in such a hurry to silence, which made Shen Jingye judge that these core members hold some important secrets.
According to the information Li Qi found, this organization can wage war in Amikan Country, which means they can threaten the entire Huan Country's security.
Shen Jingye ordered the enhancement of the Judge's Vessel: "This is your last chance I give you, tell me what plans you have recently?"
Geng Shunxi curled up in the chair, tears streaming: "Our recent plan is to sell all organizational assets, disband all members,
we never thought of confronting you, we are just ordinary spell enthusiasts, why treat us like this?"
Relying on these two lines of tears, Hundred Demons Workshop gained public opinion support from various quarters.
Tonight, Shen Jingye ignored these two lines of tears.
Even if risking his official position, he must get to the bottom of things!
...
Du Wenming crawled out of the wormhole, looked at the boundary behind him with lingering fear.
It took him a full three hours to find the wormhole's exit, even so, this result held much luck for him.
Dark Star Bureau agents had found the corpse in the cell, the whole farm was under high alert.
Shen Jingye issued orders, the murderer absolutely cannot leave the farm.
But he really didn't expect, the murderer turned out to be Du Wenming.
Du Wenming was fully aware of the various battle plans of Dark Star Bureau, he used less than twenty minutes to leave the farm, after getting in the car, he immediately contacted Pei Yurong.
"Sect Leader, we've been tricked, Dark Star Bureau has transferred our key members elsewhere."
"So, you failed." Although the tone was still calm, Pei Yurong was quite annoyed.
Du Wenming said: "It's too early to talk about failure, I know where the core members are, but now I need your cooperation, send some men to the city to stir up cases, try to create as much commotion as possible."
Pei Yurong thought for a moment: "You want to lure the tiger from the mountain, the key is who is the tiger?"
"Dark Star Bureau's agents are the tigers, be able to lure them, my odds increase a bit, must make the commotion bigger..."
Before finishing the words, Du Wenming suddenly stomped on the brakes, a figure suddenly flashed in front.
He looked carefully, someone was reaching out wanting a ride.
In Huan Country, roadside hitchhiking is quite rare.
Du Wenming didn't want to pay attention to this person, just when he was about to drive around, he suddenly saw the person outside the car lifted his head and smiled at him.
The man's hat covered most of his face, but the slim cheeks and mustache on the upper lip made Du Wenming shiver.
Boss Lu!
How could he be here?
Du Wenming floored the accelerator, but the car wouldn't move, a row of fine-grained text tightly clung to the tires on the ground.
Du Wenming hurriedly used the communication device to contact Pei Yurong: "Sect Leader, I encountered an enemy, Boss Lu from Lu Family Bookstore, you recognize this person, I need your help!"
The white car was densely packed with text, Du Wenming had already fallen into an encirclement.
Pei Yurong said: "Don't panic, I have a way to save you."
She called Liu Cui Shan, whispered: "Activate Lu Family Bookstore's sentry."
Liu Cui Shan said: "Sect Leader, Lu Family Bookstore's sentry can only be used at critical moments..."
Pei Yurong reprimanded: "This is the critical moment now!"
Liu Cui Shan quickly called a few subordinates, swiftly arranged the array.
...
On the highway, the dense text continuously tore at Du Wenming's car, the cabin was already twisted and deformed.
Du Wenming was trapped inside the car, unable to move, unable to break free.
The space inside the car was too narrow, Du Wenming found it very difficult to perform Dance Cultivation Technique, could only rely on arm movements to try dispersing some of the text with dance gestures.
Du Wenming's means were very limited, Boss Lu's text was infinite, today he brought the entire "Xiu Shuang Collection" with the sole purpose of taking Du Wenming's life without any physical contact.
In Boss Lu's eyes, physical contact was disgraceful, more importantly, Du Wenming had a pathological condition, this made Boss Lu determined not to touch him.
Du Wenming's dance gestures gradually failed to resist the torrent of incoming characters, when the characters seep inside the car, Du Wenming became inescapable.
Boss Lu showed a slight smile, suddenly felt a heart tremble.
The bookstore was in trouble.
He opened a volume of Xiu Shuang Collection and on one page's illustration, he saw the situation at the bookstore.
The bookstore had already closed, the hall was dark.
The Magic Box on the counter spontaneously opened its lid.
Boss Lu wasn't too surprised, he knew the Magic Box was not simple.
The counter's material and lock were very special, irrespective of what came out of the box, it couldn't escape the counter.
But the next scene made Boss Lu anxious.
A man crawled out of a foot-wide box.
No need to see his face, just by his slight form, Boss Lu already recognized his identity.
Xiao Qianshou!
The Grandmaster of Stealing emerged from the Magic Box.
This was the Magic Box sold to Boss Lu by Hundred Demons Workshop!
Why would Xiao Qianshou have dealings with Hundred Demons Workshop?
No time to think about these now, because the lock on the counter couldn't stop Xiao Qianshou!
Xiao Qianshou effortlessly opened the counter, walked into the hall.
He was about to approach the bookshelf.
Xiao Qianshou had once stolen from Lu Family Bookstore, he knew the bookshelf had special formations.
If at this moment, there was a gap in Three-Head Fork's boundary, Xiao Qianshou only needed to use a specific speed to walk around a specific bookshelf twice to get into Puluo State.
If he got into the Puluo State Bookstore, one couldn't fathom how many things Xiao Qianshou would steal, he might even take away Yu Yaoming!
What to do?
If going back now, it equals letting Du Wenming escape.
If not going back now, might lose all worldly possessions.
A gust of cold wind blew, the characters around the car dissipated with the wind.
Du Wenming stuck his head out the car window and looked around, didn't see Boss Lu's figure.
Inside Lu Family Bookstore, Xiao Qianshou just approached the second row of shelves, suddenly saw Boss Lu walk out from behind the shelf.
"Dear customer, our store is closed, if you wish to buy books, please come earlier in your next life."
Xiao Qianshou laughed upward, "Zhou Badou, you want to kill me? That easy?"
Boss Lu randomly pulled out two books from the shelf: "Xiao Laoqian, you came seeking death yourself, I should fulfill this wish."
PS: Laoqian, was an old term used for pickpockets.
