As everyone knows, Master Lu is petty.
They dared to come and provoke Master Lu when he was in a bad mood.
Those beasts have already made their way to death!
Chapter 200: Train? Snowy Day? Does this seem like a familiar plot?
"Breaking news: Northeast China is experiencing a rare blizzard, causing great inconvenience to transportation. Due to the blizzard, all flights have been temporarily suspended..."
The train moved slowly forward, and fine snow continued to fall from the sky.
The lack of lighting, combined with the dimness of the snowy day, made the city in the early morning seem like a giant beast lurking in an abyss.
The sudden blizzard caused almost all flights and high-speed trains to be shut down. Although the rare blizzard mysteriously disappeared in Inner Mongolia, it did not stop the blizzard from raging in the areas beyond the Great Wall.
On a gloomy morning, a cordon was suddenly set up at the train station, and the cold weather dampened the already sparse crowd, leaving them with no interest whatsoever...
Unless, of course, you're genuinely curious.
"What do you think this group of people are doing?"
"The underworld?"
"They couldn't possibly be here to greet us, could they?"
Two passersby stared at the two groups of people in work clothes standing straight ahead, holding banners that read "Welcome Master Lu to guide our work" and waving small flags, looking exactly like a tour group, and fell into deep thought.
This group of people looks really strange!
They said they were picking up a leader, but it didn't seem like they were a leader; it sounded more like a tourist trip...
But those men looked fierce and menacing; they didn't seem like tour guides at all.
Lu Xuan sat on the slowly decelerating train, looking speechless.
When it comes to meditation, I could sit on a train for a whole day, or even travel around the whole country by train.
The key point is that there's always a little kid yelling in my ear.
"Master Lu, Master Lu? Is Master Lu here?"
Erzhuang kept talking the whole way.
They talked about local customs and traditions, local delicacies, poetry and distant places, and everyday life, from international affairs to changes in the domestic community of extraordinary people, and also subtly touched on the current situation.
The world of supernatural beings within the pass is rife with intrigue and backstabbing, while outwardly presenting an image of the stability and peace of modern society.
But cities are full of traps, and the black soil outside the Great Wall can also bury people. The situation outside the Great Wall is no better than that inside the Great Wall; in fact, it can be said to be even more chaotic.
The death of Liu Kunsheng had nearly caused a split among the various families of the Chuma lineage.
Guan Shihua is currently the most respected person in the Chuma lineage, one of the Ten Elders, and the grandmother of Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai. She almost got into a fight with several families for Deng Youfu's sake.
With Deng Youfu's death, things seemed to have stabilized temporarily outside the pass, but everyone knew that Guan Shihua, who had lost her grandson and whose other grandson was still in the hospital, would not let the matter rest.
When the shamans are of the same lineage, they are as close as brothers and sisters, and the entire area outside the Great Wall is a united front. But if they really fall apart, they will be completely split apart, shattered into pieces, to the point where they can no longer distinguish between friend and foe.
Even now, Erzhuang doesn't dare to trust the Gao family's internal affairs.
After all, the Gao family's background is too complicated. On one hand, they have almost completely integrated into the Na Du Tong Company, and on the other hand, they are a major family in the world of supernatural beings and a large family with the lineage of shamans.
It sounds impressive, but when it actually moves, it's like a sieve, leaking air from all sides.
"Therefore, I didn't arrange for anyone from the Gao family to pick me up this time. Instead, I used people from within the company. This is absolutely confidential."
Lu Xuan immediately looked at Er Zhuang with new respect.
"I didn't realize you were so smart?"
"That's... wait? What do you mean you can't tell?"
Erzhuang: "(?_??)"
"I'm very smart, okay!~"
"Then who was the person you transferred here?"
“My father’s confidant, a high-ranking official in the Northeast region—Old Zhang.”
Erzhuang, disguised as a radish head, stood on Lu Xuan's shoulder, his face radiating confidence.
Lu Xuan: "..."
"You mean that old Zhang?"
"There's only one cadre in the Northeast region named Lao Zhang!"
Lu Xuan fell silent.
Lu Xuan sighed.
He spoke to Erzhuang on his shoulder.
"Erzhuang, don't you think there's something wrong with this train?"
Erzhuang turned her head back and forth in confusion. There were only a few people in the empty carriage. She checked everyone's information.
"some……"
"All I can say is, thank goodness this place isn't called Huanggu Village."
Lu Xuan opened his eyes.
The train slowly came to a stop.
I sensed that beneath the carriage, a power that had been suppressed for a long time in the icy and snowy landscape suddenly erupted.
Inside the station, Lao Zhang, dressed in a suit and tie, stood at the end of the two lines of members from the Nadutong Company.
He was holding an old-fashioned signal transmitter in the sleeve behind his back.
Of course, this is a specialized signal transmitter. Because of the different signal frequencies, even Erzhuang couldn't detect the transmitted signal.
As Gao Lian's confidant, he knew too much confidential information about the Na Du Tong Company. If the Na Du Tong Company hadn't classified Er Zhuang's identity information as top secret, he could have even gotten his hands on Er Zhuang's base.
Naturally, he could also find flaws in Erzhuang's seemingly perfect abilities.
The signal transmitter doesn't convey any complex information; it only transmits a single signal.
Old Zhang: On the surface, he is a senior executive of Na Du Tong Company, but in reality, he is Bi He Ren's spy planted inside Na Du Tong Company. His parents are both subordinates of Shi Chun, and the butterfly he is now using as the alias Shan Die is his teacher.
It can be said that he was the most loyal dog among the Hieiyama ninja.
Upon learning that the living immortal Lu Xuan was about to arrive in the Northeast region, and that the Chuma lineage, already riddled with internal conflicts, was about to take action with their instigation,...
The Hiaiyama ninja, who had always hoped to be reborn through a shell company, saw a golden opportunity—
If Lu Xuan could die in the Northeast region, not only would the currently conflict-ridden Northeast region collapse instantly, but the entire world of supernatural beings undergoing transformation would likely crumble instantly.
What kind of rebirth through borrowed shells will they be? They might even swallow an elephant whole, turning the world of supernatural beings into their own, and achieving the feat they couldn't accomplish before.
Greed is insatiable; trying to swallow an elephant whole is a deep-seated flaw in their national character.
Not to mention that even if the assassination fails, they have a reason to blame everything on the shamanic lineage.
Of course, their plan was very meticulous.
The area where the train was touching contained explosives powerful enough to blow the entire train into the air.
At such close range, coupled with the impact within a confined space, even a tank would be torn to shreds instantly.
At that time, the people in the nearby carriages and the employees of Nadutong Company who were there to greet him would all be buried with Lu Xuan.
A sinister gaze swept over the employees of NaDuTong Company, who were lined up in two rows.
These people were all elites from the Northeast region of Nadutong Company, and also fervent advocates for change. Upon hearing of Lu Xuan's arrival, they all volunteered to welcome him.
So many young people are going to be buried with Lu Xuan.
Looking out towards the train exit, Old Zhang quietly leaned against a concrete pillar.
The main support structure of this old-fashioned train station was strong enough to withstand the impact of an explosion at such a distance.
At the horizon, as the steam spread, a train slowly came to a stop.
The signal in my hand was sent out.
Then, the intense flames engulfed everything in front of them.
Before the deafening explosion and the intense light and heat completely engulfed everything in the train station.
Old Zhang suddenly covered his head with his hands and squatted down behind the concrete pillar, a cold smile already appearing on his face.
"Success!"
However, the expected deafening explosion, the subsequent ear-piercing shock, and the endless noise did not arrive.
The world seems to have been put on pause.
Chapter 201: You'll be able to meet soon!
Old Zhang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and quietly poked his head out from the ground. Then his pupils suddenly dilated to their maximum size.
Holy crap! Am I dreaming?
Old Zhang stared ahead in utter terror, then rubbed his eyes to confirm again.
He seemed to have witnessed a miracle.
Everything before him was just as he had seen and anticipated.
The explosion, the flames, the impact, the horrified gazes of many people, and the bodies torn apart by shrapnel still floated in the air.
It's just that time seems to have been paused.
The clamor that was about to erupt into chaos, the weeping and roaring of the crowd, and the lingering, visible sound waves all came to an abrupt halt.
Then, a dim light flashed through the train carriage.
It was as if a dream had overshadowed reality.
The train station explosion, the heavy losses of employees of Na Du Tong Company, and the chaos in the world of supernatural beings—the reality that he and the Bi He Ninja had been looking forward to was overwritten and covered by a dream.
Then, everything returned to its original state as if time had reversed.
