Chapter 436
Chapter 436: The Frenzy of the Evil Card Masters!
Luo Sheng dropped off Xu Yourong near the black market on his way.
He then rode his police motorcycle towards Sima Shengnan’s direction.
About 3 minutes later,
He arrived at an abandoned, desolate factory.
The dilapidated factory had been abandoned for many years, with tabletop instruments covered in thick layers of dust. Walking slowly through it would stir up large amounts of dust.
Near the security booth at the factory entrance.
Luo Sheng saw Sima Shengnan, holding a long spear in her hand, looking eager to get started.
Seeing Luo Sheng finally arrive, her expression carried a hint of reproach: “Why are you so late?”
“There was traffic on the way, I already sped to get here,” Luo Sheng explained.
Sima Shengnan didn’t seem to listen, instead turning her head to look inside the factory.
Luo Sheng asked curiously, “By the way, what case did you call me here for?”
“I found traces of Evil Card Masters.”
As Sima Shengnan was speaking, she suddenly rushed in without Luo Sheng noticing.
Clearly, she had called Luo Sheng over purely to satisfy the bureau chief’s requirements.
Sima Shengnan didn’t treat Luo Sheng as a true partner.
Seeing her charge ahead alone, Luo Sheng was quite exasperated.
This girl was simply too reckless, actually going in alone. Knowing there was still a platinum-level Evil Card Master, if she encountered them, she’d likely lose her life.
He really didn’t know what she was thinking.
Luo Sheng sighed, put on a black mask to cover his face, adjusted the power of his white ring to conceal his aura as much as possible, preventing enemies from discovering his true identity.
He followed her into the factory unhurriedly.
Sima Shengnan was originally on high alert.
Suddenly feeling someone pat her shoulder, she immediately turned around, her long spear ready to strike.
But that person grabbed her spear handle.
“It’s me, don’t be alarmed, I’m on your side,” Luo Sheng’s voice came.
Confirming it was an ally’s voice, Sima Shengnan withdrew her spear, her expression slightly odd, “How did you hide your aura?”
“In such a dangerous situation, you’re not hiding your aura?”
“I’ve always been open and aboveboard.”
“Miss Sima, you may be open and aboveboard, but the enemy won’t be open and aboveboard with you. Hiding your aura is for self-protection, and also to prevent enemies from discovering your whereabouts.”
Luo Sheng felt he was worrying too much for her.
Inwardly, he silently criticized Yuchi Ouyang, what kind of person had that guy assigned to him?
Entering enemy territory so blatantly.
Was it to show the enemy’s incompetence?
At this moment, Luo Sheng just wanted to properly criticize Sima Shengnan.
However, Sima Shengnan said indifferently, “You don’t need to manage me, I have my own methods. Since you’re my partner, please don’t interfere with me.”
“Fine, I won’t interfere with you… but you should at least tell me why you think there are Evil Card Masters here?”
Based on the information provided earlier by Dongli Yuyan, Luo Sheng knew this abandoned factory was not an Evil Card Master stronghold.
Their stronghold was openly placed in a densely populated area.
Sima Shengnan pointed to a certain location, “Look, those traces there are almost new. I’ve observed for several days and found people frequently coming in and out of here. Besides Evil Card Masters, I can’t think of any other criminal group that would be here.”
“It could be homeless people.”
“If it were homeless people, there would be a rotten smell here, but there isn’t.”
Sima Shengnan said meticulously.
Her observation was very careful.
Luo Sheng glanced inside the factory, indeed it was as she said.
Very fresh footprints appeared on the ground, and the machinery inside the factory showed signs of being touched.
If there were other homeless people, or curious children, they wouldn’t walk purposefully inside the factory.
They would have a more aimless attitude.
Judging from the footprint traces on the ground, the people came and left hurriedly.
There weren’t many footprints in other areas.
It seemed that, as Sima Shengnan guessed, people were secretly meeting or talking here.
She added, “Moreover, this is a lead someone else gave me.”
“Alright, I believe you.”
“Stay a bit further behind me, don’t make any noise. If a fight breaks out, I can’t protect you.”
“…”
Luo Sheng looked at her giving him orders.
He originally thought she would treat him as an equal.
Unexpectedly, Sima Shengnan directly treated him as a rookie.
If it weren’t to satisfy the bureau chief’s requirements, she might have really gone in alone.
Obviously, in her eyes, he was just a burden.
“Fine, I’ll just record from behind.”
Luo Sheng casually took out a recording device and slowly retreated about 10 meters away. He only turned on the video mode, without transmitting the footage in real-time to the Security Bureau.
It wasn’t his work hours now, this was a holiday, so there was no need to bring work on vacation.
Luo Sheng quietly released his spiritual power.
Suddenly feeling several blurry human figures inside the factory.
Luo Sheng was startled, “Hm? There’s an ambush.”
…
…
Meanwhile.
The platinum-level Evil Card Master Murong Yu was meeting with a man in black in the control room deep inside the abandoned factory.
This hidden place was their special contact point.
Very few people knew about it.
Even among the high-level Evil Card Masters, most didn’t know.
Murong Yu only brought two gold-level followers.
At this time.
The man in black said, “I heard you suffered heavy losses, and your headquarters in Yuncheng was also raided. The family head expresses concern about your strength.”
Murong Yu laughed disdainfully, “You’re indeed very pragmatic, thinking we’re no good so quickly?”
“Can’t be helped, family interests come first. After all, we’re now a big ship that’s hard to turn around, we need to be careful in everything we do.”
“Tell your family head not to worry. Although our headquarters was kicked, our main fighting force is still here. Moreover…”
Murong Yu looked at him with a meaningful smile.
He took out a cigar from his pocket.
Leisurely smoking it, he sat on a dust-covered executive chair.
His gaze carried a hint of contempt as he said, “We’re about to welcome a powerful assistant official, sent from Harbor City. You should know about his strength without me saying, right?”
The man in black was slightly stunned.
An assistant official in the Evil Card Master organization was similar to a minister’s position.
Although Murong Yu and his people were high-level in the Yuncheng organization, his position rank was only equivalent to the level of a police inspector in the Security Bureau.
An assistant official was equivalent to the position of the Security Bureau chief.
His strength would definitely be more terrifying.
It’s likely he could be on par with the current Security Bureau chief Yuchi Ouyang.
In that case, the future Evil Card Masters in Yuncheng would have an even more enormous force.
The man in black clicked his tongue, “Is it necessary to send such a high-ranking person over?”
Murong Yu took a deep drag of the cigar, exhaling a large cloud of smoke, and said slowly, “Because we’ve already fully taken root in Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is now very important to them. Moreover, we’ve already investigated the Yuncheng otherworld dimension training area clearly. It’s very easy to incite those monsters to riot.”
The man in black said, “Then why don’t you start now?”
“There’s no need. A riot here would be quickly suppressed. You think the Yuncheng Alliance is vegetarian?”
Murong Yu shook his head.
He took another sip of the cigar.
Flicking off the ash.
Supporting his head with one hand, he said, “Our current plan is to compete with those bastards from the Soul Ferryman for people.”
“Compete for people?”
“Yes, they have a large number of souls in their hands, and so can we. As long as we imprison the souls of employees from every department in Yuncheng, we can grasp a large amount of their secrets.
At that time, slowly infiltrating Yuncheng and controlling this place wouldn’t be an easy task?”
Hearing this idea, the man in black felt it was incredible.
He cursed, “You’re really a bunch of lunatics. If you do this, it will also provoke crazy retaliation from the Yuncheng Alliance.”
“Hahaha, we’re not afraid at all. Once the assistant official arrives, this plan will begin to be implemented.”
“Then how will you deal with the Soul Ferryman?”
“Them? We’ll see who can outfight whom.”
Murong Yu took the last puff, turning the cigar to ash.
He unhesitatingly threw it on the ground and stepped on it heavily.
Then he said, “If you want to stop cooperating with us, I have no objections, but you should be careful of your own family members. They might easily become souls in our hands.
After all, with the development of soul cards, the ways to control them have become easier, especially through controlling them with spirit stones. They will become an army under our control.”
As Murong Yu said this, his eyes were filled with madness.
The man in black swallowed.
But just then, Murong Yu frowned slightly, “Someone followed your tail and sneaked in!”
