Chapter 183: The Ghost in the Trap and the Angel that Came to the Door
The next day.
The news of the Blood Demon Lord's arrival at Longmen was eventually blocked from civilians. Only Wei Yanwu, his old companions, and the Guards knew about it.
But when this news was delivered to Chen Huijie's desk, Officer Long, who had been exhausted by pressure from all sides during this period, could only click his tongue lightly and then put it on the pile of documents beside him that was already half a person's height.
These documents are about slum survey.
Originally, there were not so many. They went to the slums only to search for Theresa, but while searching for Theresa, they had conflicts with local gangs many times and found many problems in the slums.
Perhaps with the idea of taking this opportunity to completely realize his goal of governing the slums, Chen Huijie repeatedly mentioned eradicating local evil forces during the investigation and asked the police officers of the Guard Bureau to sort out some issues in the slums that should have been the responsibility of the Guard Bureau and the Longmen government.
These are the documents in front of Chen Huijie now.
Wei Yanwu turned a blind eye to Chen Huijie's actions. Longmen could not lose the slums, but his niece had always been obsessed with slum management and would definitely not give up this opportunity. However, Chen Huijie acted with discretion this time. Slum management only meant improving the living conditions of the slums, and she did not say anything unrealistic or empty talk about letting the people in the slums enjoy the same rights as the citizens of Longmen. This made Wei Yanwu quite relieved, and he naturally turned a blind eye to her little actions.
As for eradicating the gang, that was originally the job of the Guard Bureau, and Wei Yanwu couldn't say anything. However, Lin Gerui made a lot of efforts in secret.
Of course, although he didn't say anything, Wei Yanwu secretly influenced Chen Huijie's actions through various methods. Those who were now wiped out by Chen Huijie were just a group of people that Longmen really didn't need, and even if they disappeared, it would not have any impact on Longmen. As for those guys who were already intertwined with Longmen... now is not the time to touch them, at least it is not the time to let Chen Huijie touch them. Chen Huijie can't touch them now.
But accidents always happen before plans. Wei Yanwu wanted to carefully arrange some necessary steps for Chen Huijie's future, but the tools to implement these steps were smashed to pieces by others in the next second.
Rubbing his nose, Chen Huijie took the document down again.
"Why is the Lord of the Sarkaz Royal Court coming to Longmen again? The Blood Demon Lord, huh? He just arrived in Longmen and wiped out several gangs in the slums?"
Chen Huijie had several questions in his head as he held the report.
This information was handed directly to the Director of the Imperial Guard by Wei Yanwu, who then distributed it to each senior police superintendent. In other words, the above information was confirmed to be correct by Wei Yanwu.
It wouldn't matter if he just wiped out a few gangs when they were causing trouble, but... this Blood Demon Lord seemed to have only wiped out the gangs, and did not take any action against the innocent people in the slums, and... after wiping out a few gangs, this guy's actions fell silent and he no longer took action. It seemed that he was only using the act of killing a large number of gang members to tell Longmen that he, the Blood Demon Lord, was here.
This...if we only look at what we have now, this Blood Demon Lord seems...to be a pretty good person.
"what."
Chen Huijie laughed at herself and wondered why she had such an idea.
But the gangs that this Blood Demon Lord eliminated...
"Wait, this gang I remember is..."
When she noticed the name of one of the gangs, Chen Huijie frowned. She remembered this gang. Half a year ago, she had planted an informant in this gang. That informant...
Chen Huijie suddenly had a bad feeling.
Tap tap tap tap.
Footsteps came closer and the office door was pushed open.
"Old Chen."
Hey~
The bright red eyes swept over Xingxiong, and Chen Huijie understood the source of the bad premonition.
"Look at this."
It was an envelope, which Xingxiong handed to Chen Huijie, who took it and glanced at it.
The envelope had been opened, but it was still sealed with wax, a very old-fashioned way of doing things.
Chen Huijie could somewhat imagine what was inside, but... could it really be like that? If so, why would the Blood Demon Lord know such a thing?
No one should know about that except me, or maybe I'm just overthinking it?
What Xingxiong took over might just be a letter of protest thrown by someone unknown. After all, although Chen Huijie's extreme actions in recent times have improved the environment of the slums a lot, they have also caused dissatisfaction among many people.
However, when Chen Huijie opened the envelope and saw the photo inside, she knew that things were heading for the worst.
On it was a ghost hanging up, its black horn had been broken off, and its entire body was covered in bright red blood, which had formed a small pool under it.
"It's Ah Fa."
Chen Huijie did not pretend not to know. After all, this ghost named Afa was once the younger brother of the good partner in front of him. Xingxiong was also a big sister of the Longmen gang at that time, but was later recruited by the Guard Bureau.
After Xingxiong was recruited, the gang she belonged to was disbanded. The younger brothers who once gathered under her name also went out to make a living on their own at Xingxiong's suggestion and no longer had contact with the gang. Although some of them found that they were completely unfit for normal work after trying to find a job and returned to the gang again, Xingxiong didn't say anything. Everyone has their own choice.
The Afa in the photo is one of Xingxiong's former brothers. After Xingxiong left, this guy borrowed some money from his former brothers to open a small bar, but not long after, Xingxiong found that the other party's store was closed and she could no longer contact Afa.
Even when asking his former brothers, they all said they had no idea where Ah Fa had gone. However, those who had lent Ah Fa money said that Ah Fa disappeared after paying back the money he owed them.
She always thought that Ah Fa left Longmen because of business failure, but she didn't expect that when she saw him again today, it would be like this.
"I always thought he had left Longmen, but I didn't expect..."
"Afa is my informant."
Before Xingxiong could finish, Chen Huijie interrupted him.
The former did not feel strange or show any surprise, but just glanced at the latter.
"When did this happen?"
"Half a year ago, he was infected with oripathy."
"You should have told me this."
"..."
Chen Huijie didn't say anything. Xingxiong picked up the photo and turned to leave.
"Star Bear."
"Don't worry, Lao Chen, I won't act impulsively."
"If you put it that way, then you're probably going to act on impulse, something you haven't done in a long time."
Chen Huijie had no intention of letting the other party go. Xingxiong didn't know who the other party was, but Chen Huijie knew.
Blood Demon Lord.
Although she didn't know why the other party knew that Afa was her informant and also knew that Afa had a relationship with Xingxiong, she didn't even know why the other party did this.
But now it seems that at least the other party's apparent purpose is to lure himself, Xingxiong or the Guard Bureau to the slums.
Such a blatant action and such a clear statement, Chen Huijie could completely regard it as a provocation to the Guards Bureau.
But Chen Huijie couldn't respond, at least not right away.
How powerful was the Blood Demon Lord? Chen Huijie didn't know, but she knew that the Blood Demons were a bunch of extremely disgusting guys, and as the leader of the Blood Demons and the monarch of the Blood King Court, his strength should not be underestimated.
The Royal Guards couldn't go out on their own. Chen Huijie felt sorry for Ah Fa, but the Royal Guards weren't...
"emmmm..."
Chen Huijie suddenly remembered something.
"Star Bear."
"Ok?"
"I will report to Commander Wei and dispatch the Xiumajia troops."
Xiu Majia?
Xingxiong frowned. She remembered that mechanical army. In the previous operation to eliminate the gangs by the alien banshee, this army performed exceptionally well. And in several operations related to the slums after that, this mechanical army also participated and showed quite outstanding strength.
Not afraid of pain, obeying orders, and not afraid of death.
These three points alone are enough to make these Xumagia surpass most ordinary police officers.
Coupled with its excellent conventional weapons and equipment and the hand cannons produced by Rhodes Island, Xumajia's strength is far superior to the security forces of the Guard Bureau.
Now this force is directly under the charge of Governor Wei Yanwu. Although this force belongs to the Guard Bureau, even the director does not have the authority to mobilize it without the Governor's order. The previous expedition to wipe out the gang Xiumajia was only approved by Wei Yanwu, so Chen Huijie could also go to wipe out those gangs with complete confidence and without hindrance. However, because of this, the gangs Chen Huijie wiped out were also the gangs that Wei Yanwu agreed to let her wipe out.
And now...
When Wei Yanwu was connected to the dedicated line, Chen Huijie reported the situation truthfully.
"The Blood Demon Lord is causing chaos in the slums. Although his actions have now become silent, he is still extremely dangerous. To protect the safety of Longmen, we must take immediate countermeasures.
I agree that you should lead the Xumajia forces to suppress the rebellion immediately. Furthermore, Black Suo will accompany you. In addition, the Rat King will also lead his men."
Chen Huijie looked at Xingxiong with his pupils shaking.
What did she hear?
Black Coot? Rat King? Act together?
Ordinary guards were unaware of the existence of the Black Robe, and the Rat King had become something of an urban legend. However, as a senior superintendent of the Longmen Guards and Wei Yanwu's niece, Chen Huijie naturally knew some inside stories unknown to outsiders.
The fact that Wei Yanwu was able to dispatch Black Cape and ask the Rat King to help him at the same time also showed that the strength of the Blood Demon Lord was indeed beyond their imagination.
"By the way, don't let those ordinary Royal Guards officers follow us. Let Shi Huaiya dispatch a drone formation to assist in the operation."
"Yes."
After hanging up the call with Wei Yanwu, Chen Huijie put on his coat and took his sword and walked past Xingxiong.
"Let's go find the barbecued pork cat."
Xingxiong nodded and followed Chen Huijie.
"Thanks, Lao Chen."
"We're just carrying out our responsibilities as members of the Imperial Guard. Ah Fa was the informant for the gang I sent there. The Blood Demon Lord attacked that gang and used Ah Fa to threaten us, so naturally I have to take responsibility."
Although I don't know how that guy knew about Ah Fa's relationship with the Guard Bureau, was Ah Fa already exposed before he attacked that gang?
But none of this matters now; the most urgent thing is to act quickly.
Judging from the photo, Ah Fa probably doesn't have much blood left to bleed. Considering the time it took him to gather people and get there, even a delay of one second could cause Ah Fa to die from blood loss.
No, it is better to prepare for the worst. Given the character of those Blood Demon guys, they might just suck Ah Fa dry after taking the photos.
But it has to be done as soon as possible anyway.
Although that guy has stopped taking action for more than twenty hours, Chen Huijie and the others are unsure of the Blood Demon's thoughts. Perhaps after threatening the Guards Bureau, this guy will take action again.
The Guards were gathering manpower as quickly as possible, while in the slums, Lord Blood Demon was looking at Ah Fa who had been put down in front of him with an expressionless face.
"You have great willpower to have been able to hold on until now. At first I thought you were just an ordinary ghost, but now I may have to change my mind a little bit."
From an ordinary ghost to a ghost with strong will.
"..."
Facing the teasing of the Blood Demon Lord, Ah Fa did not respond at all. He just knelt on the ground with his head lowered and looked at the ground. His body was covered with fine wounds, and there was dried blood around those wounds.
He looked pale, but still did not fall down.
"You want to use me to trick the Guards into coming? That's impossible. I'm just an ordinary informant. You did something so outrageous in the slums that the Guards will soon catch on. They know how powerful you are and they won't send anyone here just because of me."
"So I didn't send it to the Imperial Guards. I sent it to a senior superintendent named Xing Xiong from the Imperial Guards."
After hearing the Blood Demon Lord mention that name, Ah Fa quickly raised his head.
"How do you know..."
"That's not the question you need to ask."
The Blood Demon Lord gently pressed his head, stroked the broken section of the horn on his forehead, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"You are also Sarkaz. Although the guys in your tribe always say that we blood demons are cold-blooded and ruthless, we also do not want to harm our own kind. Now we have no choice but to do this. For the great cause of the revival of the Sarkaz tribe, and to let those who have persecuted the Sarkaz in this land feel our wrath, we can only make a small sacrifice for you and your group."
tui!
Ah Fa did not respond, but his spitting behavior showed his attitude.
"Well, you're quite a strong-willed kid. In fact, I'm a little curious. If someone as determined as you is corrupted by an alien history, will you become a slave to history, or will you finally be able to uphold your own will after going through countless hardships?"
The Blood Demon Lord seemed quite interested in this question, but then he restrained his expression.
"But unfortunately, I don't have the extra time to study you in this situation. All I need is a tool to escalate the situation and draw those guys' attention to me. Tools don't need self-awareness."
"Vampire!"
An alien blood-sucking monster appeared in front of Ah Fa.
"How ugly."
As if knowing that his death was approaching, Ah Fa did not show any fear. His gray-black eyes looked at the Blood Demon Lord with contempt.
Pfft!
The sharp blood fangs pierced Afa's neck.
