242 Silently Approaching Death ~
After Li Weixin and the other two took a taxi to the northern district, they looked at the low buildings that were only five to six stories tall and could not help but flash with relief.
If this was in Zhongzhou City, it was basically very difficult to find such a suitable place to commit a crime.
Even the usually timid Li Weixin’s lackey’s eyes flashed with bloodl.u.s.t.
In order to let them live, what did it matter if some country b.u.mpkins died?
Of course, although they looked down on these country b.u.mpkins in Jiangzhou City very much, they did not really kill people openly on the streets.
Instead, he found a clothing shop and bought brown wasteland traveler clothes unique to Jiangzhou City.
“d.a.m.n it! I’ve never worn such clothes in my life!”
“It’s worth it for these b.u.mpkins to die.”
Hearing his lackey’s words, Li Weixin resisted the urge to immediately take off his incomparably ugly clothes. He even felt the urge to take off his smelly clothes and waved his hand expressionlessly.
The shop owner of the clothing shop could not help but mutter when he saw that the three of them deliberately did not want the clothes that looked tattered but were made of very good materials and insisted on buying such clothes for mercenaries or refugees.
“Where did this person come from? He’s not even willing to wear such good clothes?”
“It’s good if you don’t wear it, at least sell it to me!”
Just now, the shop owner had thought of taking their old clothes.
However, after thinking about it, he decided not to.
If it was some big shot, it would cause trouble for him out of thin air.
After leaving the entrance of the clothing shop, the three of them lowered their heads slightly, no different from the pedestrians everywhere on the roadside.
However, the gazes that floated around the streets from time to time still made them seem a little different.
After wandering around for about ten minutes, just as he pa.s.sed by an alley, the highest-level whip man suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked over.
At the same time, he stopped.
Seeing the whip man’s actions, Li Weixin and his lackey immediately stopped and looked in the alley.
At this moment, a drunk middle-aged man was walking unsteadily into the alley.
He had no idea that his life had already entered a countdown.
Just as the drunk man’s figure disappeared from the alley, the whip man followed in a flash.
Li Weixin and the others sized up their surroundings. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they also followed.
In the alley, the drunk man was still walking with two steps and three steps. The whip man rushed behind this person in a flash—
“Crack ~”
After a crisp sound, the drunkard who was still swaying just now tilted his head slightly and directly fell into the whipman’s arms.
Just like that, the drunkard with a sunken Adam’s apple died silently.
After gently dragging this drunk man to the end of the alley, the whip man glanced at Li Weixin.
After Li Weixin carefully took out the rib in his arms, he looked at the runes on it and then at the drunkard’s corpse that had already been laid flat on the ground. He slowly stretched out the rib filled with runes.
When one end of the rib touched the drunkard’s corpse, it immediately “broke free” from Li Weixin’s hand.
“This…”
His lackey was about to exclaim when he was glared back by Li Weixin.
Under the three of them’s gazes, the curved rib pressed against the forehead of the drunkard’s corpse, and the runes on its body slowly lit up.
Then, they felt a strange energy flowing from the corpse.
Of course, he had only sensed it for a moment.
Then, before they could carefully observe the change in the rib, they saw the drunkard’s corpse shrivel up at a visible speed.
By the time the runes on the ribs dimmed again, the corpse had already become incomparably dry.
Seeing this, Li Weixin and the other two realized the seriousness of the problem.
“a.s.sistant Li, did… did we get in too deep?”
“How, how could this be?”
“He didn’t tell us clearly!”
Li Weixin’s a.s.sistant was slightly depressed.
If it was just an ordinary person and then collected the so-called souls, they should be able to complete it relatively easily.
There was a high chance that it would not attract much attention in the crowd.
After all, in this era, it was simply too normal for 20 to 30 ordinary people to mysteriously disappear or to see two corpses somewhere.
Although there was the Public Security Department,
However, they still had to investigate.
The old district they chose did not have surveillance cameras or anything like that.
However—
For example, if such a dried corpse appeared, it would not alarm the Public Security Department but the Mutant Federation.
After all, it was not like people did not have that blood-sucking ability.
Li Weixin looked at the dried corpse on the ground and felt a little numb.
“d.a.m.n!”
“If the spatial bracelet is still around, we can just put the corpse in.”
After complaining, Li Weixin sized up his surroundings and helplessly covered the dried corpse with the clothes they had just changed out of.
Seeing that he had barely hidden it, Li Weixin waved at the two of them.
Then, he walked out of the alley.
“Why don’t we buy three spatial bracelets?”
“Otherwise, if this happens every time, it will definitely cause the Mutant Federation here to investigate.”
Hearing the whip man’s suggestion, the lackey nodded in agreement.
However, Li Weixin shook his head helplessly and said,
“A spatial bracelet containing one corpse is already the limit.”
