A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

Old concrete factory.

1:12 AM.

Liu Jianguo was asleep, and his breathing was unusually steady.

The four corners of the bed.

The protective charms left by Luo Shouzhou were all still lit.

everything is normal.

Luo Shouzhou squatted by the bed, holding half a cigarette in his hand without lighting it.

He stared at Liu Jianguo's ankle.

That deadly black line lay quietly on the skin.

They were even more well-behaved than yesterday.

Luo Shouzhou suddenly reached out his hand.

He grabbed the life-saving talisman tightly.

"stand up."

The talisman paper was lifted off the ground.

next second.

Snapped!

He actually took the picture himself.

Luo Shouzhou raised an eyebrow.

Lift it again.

Snapped!

It was pushed back again.

This time.

They are significantly stronger.

Liu Jianguo's ankle suddenly twitched.

"Who?"

No one answered.

There was only wind in the factory.

call--

A breeze blew through the broken window, and the chandelier swayed gently.

Luo Shouzhou lowered his head and turned the old compass upside down on the cement floor.

thump.

The bottom of the plate has been reached.

The three copper needles spun wildly in an instant.

Ding--

So fast it was almost invisible.

Sudden.

Snapped!

Stop everything.

They all pointed southeast.

Luo Shouzhou was about to reach out his hand.

A sudden change occurred.

The black line on Liu Jianguo's ankle suddenly twitched!

down.

laugh!

It was like a nail driven directly into the ground.

next second.

The entire bed suddenly shook.

Liu Jianguo was forcibly dragged half a foot towards the center of the bed.

"what!"

The old man woke up with a start.

"What's wrong?!"

Luo Shouzhuo pressed down on the edge of the bed.

"Don't move!"

All four protective charms lit up simultaneously.

hum-

The earth's energy instantly subsided.

The formation was supposed to shield Liu Jianguo from disaster.

At that moment, he was pinned firmly to the bed.

Liu Jianguo struggled, but couldn't move.

"Master Luo... Master Luo..."

"What's going on?"

Luo Shouzhou did not answer.

He stared intently at the ground.

Under the lights.

The shadow of Liu Jianguo.

There's an extra layer.

The gray shadow was originally close to his body.

But below the gray shadow.

There was also a dark shadow.

thin.

long.

Like a shadow nail driven into the ground.

Luo Shouzhuo extended two fingers.

He pinched the dark figure.

Snapped!

The fingertips just touched it.

A bloody gash suddenly appeared on the back of his hand, and blood gushed out instantly.

Luo Shouzhou glanced down and pressed his bleeding hand directly to the ground.

Blood fell to the ground.

The old compass resounded with a loud thud.

clang--!

The needle spun wildly.

Four talismans beside the bed floated up at the same time.

Luo Shouzhuo whispered:

"The Luo family of the South, protect my life."

"Recognize the Lord!"

boom!

The gray shadow suddenly swelled.

They collided violently with the dark figure.

The entire cavern felt as if it had been hit by something.

boom!

The wall plaster cracked.

The light bulb flickered.

Liu Jianguo felt a tightness in his chest and coughed up blood.

Luo Shouzhou immediately stopped.

The shadowy figure fell silent again, still fixated on Liu Jianguo.

They didn't mean to hurt him, they just didn't want him to leave.

Luo Shouzhuo stared at it for a few seconds.

He slowly stood up and took out three life-protecting plaques from his pocket.

Liu Jianguo

[Shi Zhiyuan]

Zhou Heng

They were placed side by side on the table.

The light shines.

Three cards.

Six Paths of Shadow.

A gray shadow is above.

A dark shadow looms below.

Luo Shouzhou grabbed Liu Jianguo's piece.

Move it to the side.

The wooden sign was moved.

The shadowy figure didn't move.

next moment.

Snapped!

The wooden sign was violently pulled back by an invisible force!

Great strength.

It smashed the glass on the side of the table.

Snapped!

Fragments flew everywhere.

Liu Jianguo felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

He suddenly arched his back.

"Well!"

Luo Shouzhou stopped touching the tiles, his expression grave.

Hengtai Headquarters.

1:45 a.m.

underground garage.

Luo Shouzhou's beat-up bread cart had just come to a stop.

Two security guards were already waiting at the elevator entrance.

"Mr. Luo."

"Mr. Zhou is upstairs."

Luo Shouzhou had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Did you know I was coming?"

No one answered.

"OK."

He chuckled.

"They even calculated when I'd get angry."

The elevator went up.

eighteen.

nineteen.

twenty.

The numbers are jumping around very fast.

You can do this when you pass through the eighteenth floor.

Luo Shouzhou suddenly looked up.

Ding.

The numbers flashed.

eighteen.

It only lasted for less than half a second.

It then became nineteen.

Boardroom.

The door opened.

Zhou Heng sat at the end of the long table.

Ayako Kamishiro was right next to her.

Dark gray suit.

Her black hair was styled in a bun.

A cup of tea is beside me.

He was dressed like a perfectly normal business consultant.

Luo Shouzhou entered the room.

Let's look at Zhou Heng first.

Look at her again.

The meeting room lights were very bright.

Luo Shouzhou paused for a moment.

Ayako Kamishiro bowed slightly.

"Luo Jun."

"So late."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Shouzhou ignored him.

Snapped!

The three life-saving talismans were slammed onto the table.

Zhou Heng frowned.

"Sect Leader Luo?"

Luo Shouzhou pointed to the cards.

"Who disturbed my formation?"

"What?"

"Don't pretend."

He pressed down on three cards with one finger.

"Shi Zhiyuan."

"Liu Jianguo".

"you."

"Three lives."

"Now I've tied them all up somewhere else."

He looked up.

"Who did it?"

The conference room was so quiet that you could hear the cars passing by downstairs.

Ayako Kamishiro gently put down her teacup.

"About this."

"It's for protection."

Luo Shouzhou smiled.

"Protect?"

"Yes."

"Opening is approaching."

"External dangers are increasing."

"The three individuals under protection will be temporarily moved into the core area of ​​the South District."

"It will be safer."

Luo Shouzhou remained silent.

Reach out.

They pushed Liu Jianguo's card out.

Half an inch.

Snapped!

The wooden sign bounced back.

Then Shi Zhiyuan was recommended.

Snapped!

Rebound.

At last.

Zhou Heng.

Snapped!

Let's come back.

Three cards.

Like three living people with their necks tied.

You can only move within that small area of ​​the desktop.

Luo Shouzhuo looked at Ayako Kamishiro.

"Is this what you call protection?"

Ayako Kamishiro's smile remained unchanged.

"After opening."

"It will be resolved naturally."

"Who made that decision?"

"That's the technique."

"Whose technique is this?"

Ayako Kamishiro remained silent.

Luo Shouzhou slowly leaned back in his chair.

"Little girl."

"What you're saying is like saying that death doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhou Heng's face darkened.

"Sect Leader Luo."

"The bad guys have posed a real threat to Hengtai."

"The police are also keeping an eye on it."

"The South Zone is currently the safest centralized protection site."

Luo Shouzhou looked at him.

"Then why not take them to the police station?"

Zhou Heng paused for a moment.

"Even within the police force, safety is not always guaranteed."

"You're aware of the problems Hengtai has been facing recently."

Luo Shouzhou did not refute.

That's not entirely untrue.

The most difficult masters to fool never use lies to deceive.

Take eight parts truth and two parts poison.

Luo Shouzhuo tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Sudden.

Luo Shouzhuo stared at Ayako Kamishiro for two seconds.

He suddenly spoke.

"Hand out."

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

Ayako Kamishiro's smile remained unchanged.

"What's wrong, Mr. Luo?"

"stretch."

The tone was not harsh.

Ayako Kamishiro glanced at him, but still extended her right hand.

Fair-skinned.

slim.

Long, slender fingers.

It's very well maintained and there are no abnormalities.

Luo Shouzhou glanced at it.

"The other one."

Ayako Kamishiro raised her left hand again.

Equally clean.

There was nothing there.

She looked down at her hands.

Then he chuckled softly.

"Luo Jun."

"Although we are Japanese songstresses."

"However, according to your local saying..."

She tilted her head slightly.

"Performing arts for a living."

"I don't sell myself."

Luo Shouzhou, however, was amused.

"rest assured."

"I'm not interested in old women."

Ayako Kamishiro's expression clearly turned sour.

Luo Shouzhou had already lowered his head.

His gaze fell on the ground at her feet.

"My hand is fine."

"And what about your shadow?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

He then lowered his head.

The conference room lights shone down from directly above.

There is a shadow on the table.

The chair has a shadow.

Zhou Heng has a shadow.

Even the teacup next to Ayako Kamishiro cast a faint shadow on the table.

But only at her feet.

There was nothing there.

Clean and tidy.

This person wasn't even standing here.

Zhou Heng was stunned. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Ayako Kamishiro simply glanced down at it.

"shadow……"

"Is it important?"

Others are not important.

Luo Shouzhou slowly leaned back in his chair.

"You are very important."

He held up one finger.

Gently tap the three life-protecting talismans on the table.

Liu Jianguo

The dark figure trembled.

Order again.

[Shi Zhiyuan]

Another shudder.

At last.

Zhou Heng

The third dark figure tightened its grip at the same time.

Luo Shouzhou raised his eyes and looked at Ayako Kamishiro with a half-smile.

"You are not without a shadow."

"What kind of trick did you pull? You tore yourself apart!"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Ayako Kamishiro's professional smile remained on her face.

They did not admit it.

There was no denial.

Snapped.

The overhead light suddenly flickered.

Extinction.

It shines brighter.

It lasted less than a second.

Zhou Heng's pupils suddenly contracted.

On the wall that had just gone dark, eight shadows suddenly appeared behind Ayako Kamishiro.

They are different in height.

The postures are different.

Eight women.

But they all faced the long table.

It looked like they had been standing there for a long time.

The lights are back on.

The walls were now completely empty again.

Zhou Heng subconsciously looked at Ayako Kamishiro.

Ayako Kamishiro acted as if nothing had happened.

He even picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Luo Jun."

"Some things."

"If you see it too clearly."

"It will be quite tough."

Luo Shouzhu grinned.

"What a coincidence."

"I'm old."

"Nowhere else will do."

"His eyesight is passable."

He grabbed the wine jug.

He tilted his head back and took a gulp.

Snapped.

The wine pot was placed on the table.

The sound wasn't loud.

The atmosphere suddenly turned somber.

Ayako Kamishiro also put down her teacup.

The two people stared at each other across the table.

No one laughed anymore.

Zhou Heng glanced at Luo Shouzhou.

She glanced at Ayako Kamishiro one more time.

Finally, he spoke.

"Alright."

"Both masters were invited by Hengtai to solve the problem; they just have different technical approaches."

"Miss Kamishiro is also thinking about getting rid of the black lines on Liu Jianguo and Shi Zhiyuan as soon as possible."

"Since we have the same goal, there's no need to fall out over this."

Luo Shouzhuo glanced at him sideways.

"You make it sound so easy."

"Someone has infiltrated the formation and altered things; you won't even know how you die."

Zhou Heng didn't respond to that, took a sip of tea, straightened his cuffs, and said:

"This matter."

"It was Hengtai that handled it improperly."

"Miss Kamishiro should indeed have communicated with Sect Leader Luo before activating the formation."

Ayako Kamishiro looked at him.

Zhou Heng continued:

"Master Luo is a renowned figure in the martial arts world. It would be beneficial for you to learn from him, Miss Shendai."

"From now on, when it comes to Sect Leader Luo's formations, Miss Shendai, please inform him first. As long as it is reasonable, Sect Leader Luo will naturally cooperate. There is no need to act on your own."

Ayako Kamishiro remained silent for two seconds.

He then stood up and bowed slightly to Luo Shouzhou.

"Since Mr. Zhou has made this decision..."

"From now on, I will explain to Mr. Luo in advance."

Luo Shouzhou did not express his opinion.

He simply picked up the wine jug.

I took another sip.

Zhou Heng frowned.

That old man is still angry.

He simply took out his phone.

"in addition."

"Alright then, Sect Leader Luo."

"What happened today has gone beyond the original scope of the commission."

"Hengtai will add an extra one million RMB on top of the original 50 RMB commission fee."

"Calculate the additional costs of changing the formation and Hengtai's apology to Sect Leader Luo."

"Boss Zhou, how much did you say again?"

Just as Luo Shouzhou was about to drink, he raised the wine pot halfway up the ground, then slowly lowered it and flicked his ear with his little finger.

Zhou Heng looked very serious.

"Yes, one million."

"After tax?"

"..."
