Chapter 57: Hand-to-Hand Combat

  We headed west towards the village, but didn't drive directly to the old house area. About a mile away, Lu Yu Feng turned off the engine.

  It just so happened that there were a few pieces of candy in the glove compartment, so I took them all out and stuffed them into the silly old men, coaxing him to sit in the car by himself, and we'll take him to eat something good when we're done.

  The silly old men nodded, and we two felt at ease getting off the bus, hunching our backs, and quietly making our way towards the old residential area.

  This old residential area looks very scary at first glance, with a sense of desolation similar to that of a remote village. However, no matter how you put it, the remote village still has people living in it, whereas here there isn't even a single person's shadow. I'm really afraid that when we pass by one of these houses, a female ghost will suddenly emerge from inside.

  Lu Yufeng's eyes are sharp, he even deliberately found a earthen wall to climb up and observe from afar. After coming down, he told us that there was a light on in an old house, the murderer must be hiding inside.

  I nodded in agreement with Panzi, and Lu Yifeng led the way. We two sneaked over quietly. What Panzi and I meant was that we should jump into the backyard from behind, catching the murderer off guard.

  But Lu Yifeng holds the opposite view, he thinks the murderer is a master of mechanisms and must have set traps in the backyard. If we want to rush in quickly and safely, going through the front door is the way to go. The front door is the only way for the murderer to enter the house, he wouldn't make it uncomfortable for himself.

  I completely agree with him. Let's just do what he said.

  I noticed that there was no motorcycle parked in front of the old house, so the murderer probably pushed it into the house as well. I had originally wanted to put air in the motorcycle's tires, but now I have to give up on that idea.

  Lu Yifeng in the front, Panzi in the back, we three stood in a straight line at the front door. Lu Yifeng gave us two a preparatory gesture and then took the lead to kick open the door with one foot, immediately followed by rushing inside.

  I hurriedly followed, not wanting to fall behind. But I didn't expect Lu Yifeng to slam on the brakes as soon as he entered the door, and by the time I thought of stopping, it was too late, and I crashed into Ah Feng's back.

  Don't even mention Pan Zai, he was so big and sturdy that he completely pressed me from behind, making me open my mouth in shock.

  I stuck my head out to see what was going on up ahead.

  I'm really impressed by the murderer. There's actually a tombstone inside his house door. This is my first time seeing something like this, and he even put it at the entrance, without worrying about bad luck.

  Lu Yifeng stared at the tombstone for a moment and said to us, "This tombstone has something to say, let's go around it and catch someone."

  I answered first and I was afraid that Panzi, this beast with a bad heart, would kick the tombstone, so I deliberately pulled him to make him walk with me.

  We were careful around the tombstone, but still missed something. When we were closest to the tombstone, it suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and a green smoke came out from inside.

  I secretly thought it was bad, and I said to myself that the murderer must have something like a remote control. He found out we were coming in and manually activated the mechanism. And this green gas doesn't look like anything good at all.

  No one dared to utter a word of reminder, nor did anyone dare to open their mouth at this time. Everyone covered their noses and turned their heads to retreat outside.

  I find this green gas too eerie. As long as any part of my body comes into contact with the green gas, I feel uncomfortable, like being bitten by ants, all numb and itchy.

  We rushed out of the old house and greedily inhaled the fresh air. I was still worried and asked Ah Feng, "Will we be poisoned?"

  Lu Yifeng's face sank, he didn't answer me, it was clear that he also had no confidence in his heart.

  Pan Zi took advantage of the gap and asked another question. He said that since the murderer knew we were following him, he must have escaped. How could the two of us block him?

  This old house has four sides, and even if we two people guard one side each, it's still not enough manpower.

  I was thinking about what to do next when I didn't expect the murderer to have no intention of escaping.

  A series of "tutu" sounds came over, and through the green gas I couldn't see what was going on inside the door, but I could be sure that it was the sound of a motorcycle engine.

  We were both crowded in front of the door, he rode a motorcycle out and would definitely hit us.

  Lu Yufeng shouted a sentence Let's hide quickly. It was also narrow, we had just vacated the place, and the motorcycle came out.

  The murderer wore a helmet, and I still couldn't see his face.

  He was really fierce and had great driving skills, turning his motorcycle left and right, trying to scrape us.

  We had no way out, and could only retreat backwards. Panzi and I were also hit several times. The perpetrator knew that Luyu Feng was formidable, so he abandoned us and turned his head, aiming the motorcycle at Afeng and charging forward.

  Lu Yifeng originally raised his watch and shot several needles at the murderer, but the murderer's clothes were very thick, and the silver needle did not harm him at all.

  With this delay, the motorcycle rushed in front of Lu Yu Feng. As soon as Lu Yu Feng saw that something was wrong, he hastily turned around and escaped.

  He played a trick and used an S-shaped escape method in an attempt to shake off the motorcycle.

  However, the murderer made the motorcycle very agile. When Lu Yifeng turned a corner, the motorcycle also followed him around the bend. The two of them chased and fled like this, running quite far away.

  I got anxious and didn't want Lu Yifeng to be so passive, so I shouted at Panzi, telling us to hurry up and go on stage to help Yifeng out of the predicament.

  I reacted quickly and chased after the motorcycle at high speed, soon catching up to it from behind. At this point, I had already pulled out my baton, thinking that since the perpetrator was wearing a helmet, hitting him on the head would be useless, so I'd stab him in the back of his heart, causing his heartbeat to become irregular.

  I was doing pretty well with my abacus, but as soon as I started, the killer made a sneak attack on me.

  The motorcycle exhaust pipe suddenly spewed out a large amount of yellow smoke, and I inhaled several mouthfuls without paying attention.

  This yellow smoke is too smelly, even if it's a toilet that collects the feces of hundreds of families, it would be weak in front of it.

  I feel my stomach churning violently, stars flashing before my eyes, and my body weakening, then I kneel down on the ground with a thud.

  Pan Zai Geng was more concerned about my safety, he ran over to ask me what's wrong? He glared at the perpetrator with hatred, covered his nose and rushed up.

  Pan Zi had a burst of energy, he jumped onto the motorcycle, sat on the back seat, and handed the baton from behind to the front to strangle the killer's neck.

  We really underestimated the murderer, especially with this motorcycle, there are too many cat hairs on it.

  The murderer pressed a small button on the handlebars of the car, and I heard a "pa" sound. The entire rear seat of the motorcycle actually popped up.

  Under the back seat, I don't know how many large springs are supporting it, the power is really great. Panzi was suddenly bounced up vertically, and if I had to say, he was at least two meters off the ground.

  Pan Zidong was frightened on the spot, his hands and feet were used in the air to flail wildly, at first glance, he looked a bit like a birdman.

  The murderer took the opportunity to drive the motorcycle away, and when Panzi fell down, he was knocked to the ground without any cover, still face down, like a fallen old horse, and didn't move either, probably because he was stunned.

  The two of us mixed it up, although we didn't catch the killer, but Lu Yufeng escaped, he also caught his breath, and with a loud shout, turned around to launch an attack on the killer.

  Lu Yifeng started sprinting from a distance, when he was two meters away from the killer, he jumped into the air, his legs forward, and kicked the killer with all his might.

  This move is fierce, if it's a real kick, it will definitely hurt the murderer. The murderer isn't stupid either, he quickly dodges to avoid it, but he's one step too late and gets kicked in the left shoulder by A Feng.

  He was kicked off the car and fell to the ground with Lu Yifeng, but both of them were tough guys and quickly sprang up from the ground.

  Next, the two of them started fighting fiercely. Seeing this, I felt a sense of pride in my heart, thinking that Ah Feng's nickname "Ghost Hand" was not undeserved. With his iron pincers, even if the murderer wore a helmet, as long as he hit several major acupoints on his body, he would definitely lose his ability to move.

  It's unknown what happened, but Lu Yifeng's physical strength suddenly weakened by a large margin. To say nothing of fighting, even his reactions were slower than ordinary people by half a beat.

  The murderer touched his waist, pulled out a two-foot-long small leather whip, and used the whip to severely beat A Feng. The whip as a weapon is not like a knife, it has a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, in short, Lu Yu Feng was completely at a disadvantage.

  The crackling sound was endless, and I couldn't bear to watch. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu Feng's body was covered in bloodstains.

  Perhaps it was seeing my companions being beaten that I suddenly came up with a burst of viciousness, struggled to get up from the ground, and without using a stick, pulled out my belt and stumbled towards them.

  I was thinking that I would use this belt to tie up the murderer somewhere, even if it's just holding onto his thigh, in order to create an opportunity for Ah Feng.

  The murderer also noticed me, he launched a fierce attack on Lu Yu Feng several times, and after kicking him out with his foot, he turned his head to stare at me.

  I was taken aback by him and didn't know what to do for a while.

  He didn't know what he was thinking either, and suddenly laughed out loud, as if I had rushed over to him. His speed was also very fast, and in a few strides, he rushed to my face.

  I thought he was going to punch me with this speed, so I quickly got into a horse stance to defend myself, but unexpectedly, he shot himself out like a cannonball, and even led with his head.

  He was wearing a helmet and used such a weird move that I couldn't resist at all, and he really bumped into me.

  I was blown away by the impact and almost flew out with my feet off the ground, but I didn't let go empty-handed. I took advantage of the opportunity to grab the assassin's helmet and pulled it down.

  After I thudded onto the ground with a bang, the murderer also stood up. He looked at me and finally revealed his true face.

  I stared at him in astonishment because I knew him, he was that little rascal who had delivered both barbecue and express mail to us.

  He no longer has messy hair, but a head of black hair, and his eyes are very cold, filled with murderous intent.

  All of a sudden, I thought of many things. Since he was the murderer, then his previous barbecue gift was to probe us and confirm our residence. And we were poisoned, left phone calls at night and other strange things, all of which were his doing.

  They say you can't judge a person by their appearance, and now I've learned my lesson. This ordinary-looking guy was able to kill Black Son, Thin Ghost, and Knife Guest, and even took care of the two of us together.

  The murderer saw me stunned and seemed to enjoy the feeling. He deliberately said with a smile, "Wú Liàng Tiān Zūn! Xiǎo Dào has reason!"

  This sentence sounds confusing at first, but I suddenly understood it because I remembered a person, that is, the little Taoist boy beside the divine brush method master, and that Taoist boy was also disguised by him. I said why did he look so familiar to me back then.

  I'm filled with some resentment towards myself, why did I have to be so blind and not recognize him, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many deaths.

  But sometimes hatred is useless, all that can be said is that the murderer's disguise technique is too powerful, how to solve him, this is the key.
