Chapter 47 The Price
"Damn it!"
Zhou Liu punched the table with his fist, and the dull sound was accompanied by the sound of tables, chairs and teacups knocking over.
The hot cocoa flowed onto her hands, and she didn't realize the pain.
The reluctance in my heart was far greater than the pain I felt at this time.
Finally, he caught a clue and let people escape again.
It is true that the amount of information obtained this time is already large enough. Compared with before when we didn't even know who the enemy was, it was already a huge improvement.
But what's the use?
Apart from making the report more substantial, it is of no use at all!
I don’t even know who the other party is, what organization it is, its purpose and actual operation process!
And this Zhou Du...
Zhou Liu herself has read his personal information more than a dozen times, and has actually talked and inquired about him in person. Since she became the night watchman of the Chang Yesi branch, she has also dealt with him once or twice. , regarding legal education and student internships, she had a very good impression of Zhou Du and did not believe that he would do such a thing.
And Zhou Du had no reason to do this. He had been a teacher for decades, and he was full of reputation. Could it be that he had been pretending for decades just to kill more than thirty students?
Absolutely ridiculous.
But it just happened, and the truth is before our eyes.
Zhou Liu had to hate his own powerlessness...the other party was not an ordinary criminal gang, not just a transcendent, but also a transcendent who controlled the mystery.
Even the third-level transcendent cannot touch the mysterious. Only the fourth-level and above are qualified to touch the 'mystery'. The mysterious is not the supernatural...it is more advanced than the supernatural.
Most people are powerless in the face of mystery, even extraordinary people.
Because mystery is a type of rule, and does not need to follow the common sense of the world or the constraints of an extraordinary system.
Unless it is a higher-level mystery, it cannot be broken...and Zhou Liu has not yet reached this level. She is just an ordinary Jianli tribe.
"Team Zhou, Teacher Zhang is here."
"...let him come in." Zhou Liu came to his senses and said.
The door was pushed open and Zhang Chushan walked in: "Captain Zhou, are you looking for me?" "
Well, I want to know some information about Zhou Du, and there are some..." Zhou Liu began to inquire about these things. I want to ask in detail.
After talking for about a few minutes, Zhou Liu noticed that Zhang Chushan licked his lips several times in succession, and said, "Stop for a moment and drink some water. You seem to be a little dry."
She turned around to get a spare . of mineral water.
She didn't notice that after she exposed her back, Zhang Chushan's expression began to change, just like a feline creature seeing its prey with its back turned to her, and its pupils instantly released a sharp gaze.
...If she does it now, she won't have time to react.
...You can take action, why not! Do it quickly!
...They all forced Lao Zhou to death and avenged Lao Zhou!
Zhang Chushan stood up silently, and the chair made a sharp scraping sound on the ground.
He surged up like a cheetah, pounced directly in Zhou Liu's direction, struck with his fist, and struck with the full force of a second-level martial artist, carrying a billowing mist of energy.
Zhou Liu reacted, but it was too late to turn back. The attack was so close!
But this punch did not hit Zhou Liu directly.
Rather, it hits something in between.
It suddenly appeared between the two.
When Zhang Chushan's fist landed on this thing, the latter made an extremely clear sound, like the sound of a gong or the beating of a big drum.
All the power poured into the smooth mirror, like mud flowing into the sea, and the next moment it rebounded all the power and returned it the way it came.
The impact force reacted on Zhang Chushan's body, and his fist fell on his own chest as if it was reflected in a mirror.
The human body hit the wall like a rubber ball.
boom--!
With a roar, the latter was lying in the classroom behind the wall, and books, tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor.
The buzzing gradually subsided, and Zhou Liu reacted in the next second and looked at the breast mirror that appeared out of thin air behind him.
This breast shield is one of the rare objects, and is kept by the custody department of Changye Division. She applied for this rare object this time to protect Bai Yu's safety.
I didn't expect to show up here, so I protected myself.
She looked out the window and saw the boy standing in the moonlight.
Bai Yu held his knees, panting heavily, and ran for a hundred meters. At the end, he took out the goggles and threw them over. In order to ensure accuracy, he instantly activated the heroic spirit projection and used his advanced precision talent.
It just happened to be stuck at the moment when Zhang Chushan burst into action.
It was too dangerous... Zhou Liu would be beaten to death in only 0.5 seconds.
A sneak attack from behind is impossible to guard against.
Bai Yu jumped in from the window, and then picked up the breast goggles suspended in the air. He stepped over the half-collapsed wall and the brick floor and looked at Zhang Chushan, with an extremely unspeakable silence in his eyes.
"...Laoban."
Zhang Chushan shook his head, and his eyes regained a little clarity.
He held his face: "I just..."
He wanted to ask what he did, but there was no need to ask.
He knew what he had done, what he wanted to do, what he wanted to do... The
intention to kill was real, and the action was also real. It was his idea, but it was not his will.
But he was still reluctant to speak, and he didn't want to admit this embarrassing fact.
Zhang Chushan spit out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand up while holding on to the table at his side: "I'm different from Lao Zhou, right..." "
Old Ban, there is more than one lackey." Bai Yu interrupted: "You too ...The same thing."
"Do you still remember what Zhou Du said to us before he died?"
"He was looking in our direction. Those words were not only spoken to me, but also to you."
"This is impossible..." Zhang Chushan shook his head in denial. He would never agree that he was the shepherd's lackey: "I am a transcendent, how could I be a lackey? I can't be...he doesn't You may be able to control me, but the different paths to transcendence will conflict with each other. The path I took is..."
Bai Yu said: "So... what if you were selected as a lackey from the beginning?"
"One... Start?" Zhang Chushan murmured.
"When you fell into the shadow world..."
Bai Yu said slowly: "Old Ban, you told me that you once encountered disasters in the shadow world, but you ran away." "
But, this is a lie. In reality...you have no brothers at all, you don't have a fat brother...You were an only child, you were very fat at that time, and you ran very slowly, so you fell into the shadow world."
"There, you encountered almost the same thing as me."
"We both met the Shepherd."
"Then... you left the shadow world and returned safely to reality; just like me... and we They all paid a high price."
"I lost my shadow, and you...became one of his pawns." "
Although you became a transcendent, the seeds were already planted long ago." "
You can't resist. Because this is the... price you have to pay!"
"You are already his lackey!"
Boom——!
Every word fell in Zhang Chushan's ears like thunder.
The violent roar almost shattered his original will.
Just when his mentality almost collapsed, he finally remembered the memory that he had almost deliberately forgotten and modified.
'——Do you want to live, kid? '
'——If you want to survive, make a deal with me...'
'——The price? You don't need it now, you can't afford it, but when you need it, I will take it from you... Hehehe,
he has no brothers, only himself.
At that time, he fell into the dark shadow world, feeling lonely and desperate. The only life-saving straw left was that transaction.
He had long forgotten what the specific content was.
He forgot the memory and the deal itself.
But this is a kind of debt after all. After more than 20 years, he finally came to his door and asked him to repay the price.
He needed to exchange and compensate for his life back then with everything he had now!
His dignity, life, and value were all shattered at this moment.
I'm afraid, the same is true for Lao Zhou...
"Ha..." Zhang Chushan finally remembered, and he sneered from the depths of his throat, laughing at himself: "It turns out, ahem, I have been looking for the murderer for so long... ...It's me, what a ridiculous answer...I am the real culprit who pushed all the students to hell."
Bai Yu denied: "No! It's the shepherd! Old class, you are an innocent victim!"
"Weapons kill people. , are weapons not guilty?" Zhang Chushan's eyes turned red: "Can you say this to others?" "..." "No one will
forgive
me, including myself..." The head teacher clenched his fists , the fingertips trembled: "I really deserve to die, I should have died there twenty years ago!"
"Old class..."
"Get away! Do you want to die! How dare you come close to me!" Zhang Chushan gritted his teeth: " I am already a murderer! He is heinous!"
His hands slowly clasped tightly, he picked up a piece, turned his head and slapped it hard on his forehead, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
"Hurry up, let's go!"
"...His voice echoes in my mind!" "
...I may lose control at any time. I don't want to kill my students with my own hands."
Zhang Chushan pressed his forehead . , blood was flowing, like a beast in desperate situation, with cowardice, pain and madness alternately intertwined in his eyes.
Bai Yu was about to step forward, but was held down by a hand on his shoulder.
Zhou Liu took out the walkie-talkie and ordered, while rolling up his sleeves with one hand, revealing his extremely strong and muscular forearms.
"All personnel listen to the order and help me control Zhang Chushan! Try your best not to hurt his life."
Bai Yu was controlled by Chang Yesi's people. In the eyes of everyone, he was a young man who couldn't do anything. If you arrive, going in will cause even more chaos.
The head teacher's will did not last long, and he soon fell into a semi-violent state. His eyes were bloodshot and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
It was as if he had been used as an abandoned son by the shepherds, in order to cause a big fuss and completely cut off all clues without leaving any traces.
As long as all the lackeys die, his existence will be kept secret forever, and the mystery of creating the lackeys is hard to detect...
No one can immediately detect whether a person has been converted. There are so many ordinary people, and it is impossible to check them all. .
The reason why he was not ordered to commit suicide immediately was probably because of Shepherd's bad taste. He wanted to see both sides killing each other, and it would be best to also cause some casualties to Chang Yesi.
When it comes to losing their humanity, neither the Rose Girl nor the shepherds are too generous. Cruelty and insidiousness seem to be something engraved in their souls.
The animal trainer was also turned into a lackey by the shepherd and driven around at will. This shows that the companions of the organization are nothing more than tools in his eyes.
This chaos lasted for a long time.
Due to the chaos caused by the temporary change of the arrest target, and Zhang Chushan's considerable strength, Chang Yesi was unable to shrink the encirclement in time, and his insistence on catching people alive also led to missed opportunities.
He seemed to be in too much pain, and the struggle of his will reached its limit. By the time he reached the end, he was actively seeking death, eager to be killed.
But Zhou Liu was unwilling to give up his last chance - he could have died a hundred times, but where could he find the shepherd and where could he save the students!
In the end, neither party got what they wanted.
Zhang Chushan, who was severely injured, fell into the shadow world, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is uncertain.
Changyesi also suffered heavy losses. Although no one died, more than a dozen people were injured and went to the hospital.
Zhou Liu took several people to the Shadow Realm to pursue him, but returned in the morning with no results.
At dawn, Bai Yu didn't go back. He sat in the school classroom all night waiting for the results.
The results obtained were also disappointing.
He was a little disappointed and prepared to get up and leave.
Before leaving, when his finger touched the door of Class 1, Grade 3, a prompt lit up and flame characters were woven into shape.
