Chapter 42: The Male and Female Ghosts' Lieutenant

  For the extermination team, there is also a member Chen Cigang who has become a reporter, he as an old overseas student still knows some importance of news papers. When he knew that Su Ershou had just turned into a member of the extermination team, he couldn't help but admire his boss's way of recruiting people.

  As Xu Fei returned near dawn, Chen Cai, who had been waiting for half the night, was rushed back to his room to sleep by Xu Fei, and then Xu Fei himself also returned to his room and immersed his mind in the system.

  Adding the eight people he killed in the suburban warehouse today, Xu Fei now has 41 remaining merit points. Adding the 60 merit points that can no longer be used after breaking through the opening period, it is calculated that one-fifth of the 500 merit points have been completed.

  Xu Fei had already decided to use up 16 points of merit to exchange for bullets, which meant that he would need a total of 425 points of merit to reach the fusion period.

  Xu Fei scratched his finger and calculated, for being able to obtain more than 20 merit points after getting rid of the three gangs and the dancing girls was purely unexpected, so he didn't mind the merit points that would be consumed in exchange.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The third ringing of the phone after moving into the hotel woke up Xu Fei, who was drowsy with sleep. He glanced at the color outside the curtains, and the sunlight was now shining on the east-facing window. A bright red light indicated that it was no longer early morning.

  Xu Fei reached for the phone with one hand and pulled out the antique pocket watch from under the pillow with the other, seeing that it was already past 9 o'clock.

  "Hey, Mr. Xu, I'm Chen Zhaoqing, are you available now? Mr. Hani is waiting for you inside the firm. By the way, that high-ranking officer from the revolutionary army is also in Mr. Hani's office, I guess he wants to have a competition between you two."

  Chen Zhaoqing's revelation made Xu Fei smile, Chen Zhaoqing didn't know the inside story of the revolutionary army at this time, but Xu Fei knew that the revolutionary army was so poor that they were struggling to make ends meet. Even if they robbed the wealthy and fought against the landlords, the money they got wouldn't be enough to support those few thousand people. They were also timid, when killing a landlord, they would do it secretly, fearing that the Japanese devils would catch their trail and eliminate them. This time, they came out to buy military supplies, apart from spending money to buy things, they probably had other plans to take advantage of others' misfortune.

  Xu Fei was forced by his master to study various historical materials from the First Sino-Japanese War to the time he crossed over, so he had a good grasp of the difficulties faced by this revolutionary army. Therefore, Han Ni's Mo Wan's tricks were nothing to Xu Fei, and without him saying a word, the people in the revolutionary army knew what to do.

  "Manager Chen, I'll rush over right away. Can you help me keep an eye on whether that revolutionary army person has anyone accompanying him?" Xu Fei said with a hint of a smile after a moment's thought.

  "Ah, okay!"

  Hanging up the phone, Xu Fei put on his clothes and walked out of the room after washing up. Chen Cai was already sitting at the table eating a big meat-filled bun with gusto. Seeing Xu Fei all dressed up, he knew he was going out again. Chen Cai hastily swallowed a few mouthfuls of the bun and said to Xu Fei:

  "Boss, I've been staying in this hotel for two days now. If I stay any longer, I'll start to mold."

  Xu Fei grabbed two buns from the table and took a bite before smiling and saying:

  "Heh heh! You little scamp wants to go out, wait a bit longer, I have to go discuss some military affairs today, after we're done discussing, we'll disguise ourselves and sneak out to gather intel on the enemy's situation, once we've gathered enough information, we can leave Yingkou at any time."

  "Hmm..."

  Chen Cai Gang gloomily finished eating the bun in his hand, looked at the two remaining on the plate, but Xu Fei stopped eating and drank porridge instead. He then grabbed one with each hand and took a big bite.

  "Rickshaw, go to Haining Foreign Firm!"

  As soon as Xu Fei went out, he hailed a human-powered rickshaw unique to this era. Under the nimble feet of the rickshaw puller, it took only ten minutes to cover the nearly three-mile distance from Tianyuan Hotel to Haining Company.

  After paying the rickshaw driver, Xufei tidied up his clothes and headed towards the foreign firm.

  Just as Xu Fei entered the Hanyang Foreign Firm, at the Japanese Kawasaki Brigade's headquarters three streets away from the Hanyang Foreign Firm, three puppet soldiers were standing timidly in a room with a sun flag bearing Japanese names. Across from them, a slender and handsome young Japanese lieutenant colonel with jet-black eyes, two thin eyebrows shaped like willow leaves, and pale skin was glaring at them with anger, shouting loudly:

  " Bah! Bagya deer...... Are you guys telling lies?"

  "Kawasaki Ta, we don't dare to lie! You told us to inform Hakuto Ta about the shift change, but when we arrived at Koroyama Town, we saw slogans and notices everywhere saying that the 'Destroy Japan Squad' had killed Hakuto Ta and other Ta three days ago and burned them to ashes."

  They also said that the captain of the Extermination Squad announced that all devils who did not leave Chinese territory... no, Taikun! He would kill them all and burn them to ashes as fertilizer, so that the spirits of the Taikun could never return to their hometown. One of the three pseudo-military men, who seemed a bit bolder, explained this to the Japanese lieutenant.

  The originally effeminate-looking Japanese dwarf was actually a great team leader under the command of Murayama Iwao, Kawasaki Yoshio. He had thought that defending the mouth of the harbor and its surrounding areas within the occupied territory would not be a big problem. Those Righteous Brave Army and Revolutionary Army were at least over 200 kilometers away from here. At most, it was just those mountain bandits who were troublesome.

  Just a few days ago, dozens of puppet troops were killed. He was preparing to send out a company of devils and some puppet troops to the mountains to suppress bandits. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to inform Bai Tiao Hongyi to prepare for the shift change, suddenly even Bai Tiao Hongyi and eleven devils inside were all killed and burned.

  For the oni, they weren't afraid of death, but what they feared was that their souls couldn't return to their hometown. Now, with Xu Fei scattering their ashes on the ground as fertilizer, Kawasaki Yoshio felt his anger value increasing, and to make matters worse, one of the students he was in charge of, Shiraha Hirokazu, had also died. This left him unsure of how to report this matter to Village Chief Murayama Iwao.

  "Liu Sang! Come in for a moment."

  Kawasaki Yoshio shouted loudly outside the door, and Liu Hansheng hurriedly ran in from outside with his turtle box on his back, asking:

  "Captain Kawasaki, is there something I can help you with?"

  "Liu Sang, I indeed have a big matter to discuss with you."

  Kawasaki Yoshio turned to face Liu Hansheng and nodded, then immediately turned to face the three fake soldiers and shouted:

  "Get out, this news is temporarily not allowed to be known by anyone, otherwise you three will die."

  "Hi!"

  Three pseudo-soldiers hastily learned the devil's words and nodded their heads in response, then quickly turned around and left Kawasaki Kozo's command room.
