Chapter 8 Wuhai City

boom!
  A flash of fireworks suddenly appeared in the distance, and the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him almost shattered at the same time as the fireworks appeared.

Ji Xiu didn't even feel the pain, his vision was swallowed by darkness.

When Ji Xiu opened his eyes, the front was completely white and he couldn't see anything clearly.

As expected, his soul has been transferred to the killer Li Tan.

Before his vision could clear again, Ji Xiu picked up the handbag placed beside him, staggered to his feet, and walked towards the stairs according to the scene in his memory.

There are two options next.

The first option is to repeat the experience of the original timeline. After being captured, he undergoes interrogation and torture, and finally accepts the death penalty at the execution ground and starts over as Tong Wan.

The second option is to leave before law enforcement officers surround the Starlight Building.

There is a ticket in the handbag, and the departure time is at 7pm. As long as he leaves the Starlight Building, he can avoid the pursuit of law enforcement officers.

How to choose, Ji Xiu decisively chose the latter, which had more autonomy.

There are still 6 minutes before law enforcement surrounds the Starlight Building, and he must escape within 6 minutes.

As for the sniper rifle left behind, he was not worried.

During the interrogation of the original timeline, law enforcement officials said that Li Tan had erased the fingerprints on ten fingers, and even if he left the firearm behind, it could not be traced through the fingerprint database for matching.

After opening the door and holding on to the stair railing, Ji Xiu did not continue going down.

Compared with taking the safe passage, the elevator is the best choice.

When the white fog in front of him dissipated, what appeared in front of Ji Xiu's eyes was a corridor filled with debris.

Arriving at the elevator, Ji Xiu pressed the button.

The elevator was on the 13th floor at this time, and his current floor was on the 21st floor. While waiting for the elevator, Ji Xiu changed out of the black tights he was wearing, took a new piece of clothing from his backpack and put it on while counting the seconds in his mind.

Ding!
  39 seconds later, the elevator door opened.

Ji Xiu walked into the elevator and immediately glanced at the surveillance camera on the upper right.

As he suspected, the elevator camera had been compromised.

As a professional killer, Li Tan must have thought about how to evacuate quickly after completing the mission. Taking the safe passage downstairs is undoubtedly the slowest option.

But the elevator is different. You can go directly to the first floor and leave quickly.

The feeling of weightlessness came over me, and the elevator began to descend.

During this period, the elevator did not stop at other floors and reached the first floor smoothly.

After walking out of the elevator door, Ji Xiu did not choose to avoid the position where the lobby camera could take pictures, and went straight to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, he could clearly hear the siren coming from outside.

Following the crowd out of the Starlight Building through the electric revolving door, Ji Xiu glanced across the road.

At 11 o'clock, there is an old man with white hair sitting on the bench holding a newspaper.

At 1 o'clock, a young man wearing sports headphones is shaking his head.

At the bus stop on the right front, there is a middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket and a beard.

……

Looking around, Ji Xiu found three figures with red halos floating above their heads.

If nothing else, these three figures are all part of the black hole killer organization's plan to ambush Han Yun.

But certainly not all.

There are also killers like Li Tan whose souls are strong enough to be taken away by him. There will be no red halo above their heads.

In order to kill Han Yun, the Black Hole Killer Organization has already laid a dragnet.

Even if he was able to dodge the arrows at the time, he would not be able to escape the subsequent ambush outside the apartment building.

As the sirens approached, Ji Xiu took out the car keys from his black handbag, pressed the wake button, and glanced at a black car parked on the side of the road.

After getting on the bus, he threw his black handbag into the passenger seat and navigated the route to the high-speed rail station on the display screen based on the place names on the ticket.

Stepping on the accelerator, the vehicle passed by the police cars arriving one after another.

6:42pm.

Ji Xiu parked the car in the underground garage of the high-speed rail station, left the pistol in his backpack in the car, and then started rummaging through the car.

Not long after, Ji Xiu found a new ID card, a wad of cash, and a key from under the car mat, and then took the elevator to the ticket check-in area on the first floor.

The high-speed rail tickets were checked 20 minutes in advance, and Ji Xiu passed the security check easily. The ID card he used corresponded to the ticket he purchased.

When the time came to 7 o'clock, the high-speed train departed and the destination was "Wuhai City".

Sitting by the window, looking at the brightly lit night view of Starlight City, Ji Xiu thought about his previous experiences.

There are obviously a lot of secrets hidden in Han Yun. The black hole killer organization or the people behind the black hole killer organization are very afraid of the secrets Han Yun knows. If it were not for fear, they would never arrange the assassination in this way.

All this may be related to the mysterious sacrificial ritual.

As for what to do next, Ji Xiu took out an ID card found in the car from his pocket.

The name on this ID card is "Li Tan", which is the ID card of the original owner of the body, and it is not a fake ID.

It says home address: 213, 3rd Floor, Dream Apartment, No. 04, Xinye East Road, District C, Wuhai City.

But that’s not necessarily where Li Tan lives now.

He planned to visit this place first, and then find a way to contact the Black Hole Killer Organization to investigate information about Han Yun.

As for the three mobile phones in the handbag, because they all use seven-digit password locks, it is temporarily impossible to obtain more information through the mobile phones. After the high-speed train left Starlight City, there was only darkness outside the window.

Wuhai City is 5 degrees west of due north of Starlight City and 120 kilometers away. It takes 4 hours to drive by car and can be reached in less than 2 hours by high-speed rail.

Ji Xiu checked the relevant information about Wuhai City on the Internet.

This city is adjacent to the sea and is an important port city in the Yujing Kingdom. It covers an area of ​​3762 square kilometers and has eight districts under its jurisdiction. It is called Wuhai City because of the heavy fog that comes from the sea all year round.

Although they are both cities under the management of the Yujing Church, the influence of the Yujing Church on Wuhai City has been weakening in recent years.

The carriage was very quiet at night, with warm lights on. Occasionally, a steward pushing a cart passed by and asked if he needed to buy anything.

Sitting not far away was a young woman wearing headphones, writing something furiously on a tablet.

We passed two stations on the way and finally stopped at the Wuhai City high-speed rail station.

After getting out of the car, Ji Xiu carried his handbag to the taxi stand outside. After telling the taxi driver the address on his ID card, the vehicle started.

The prosperity along the way is gradually replaced by old houses as the vehicles drive out of the main city.

40 minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of an old apartment.

Paying the fare in cash, Ji Xiu got off the bus and stood in front of the apartment.

The apartment in front of me looked very dilapidated, with large areas of wall peeling off, revealing black plaque inside. It had obviously not been repaired for a long time.

Walking into the apartment building, the air was filled with a musty smell of rotting wood.

When the old elevator ascends, the tracks and guide rails squeak due to friction.

This made Ji Xiu feel that he might have found the wrong place.

As a killer of the Black Hole Organization, Li Tan's financial situation is certainly not bad enough to live in this old apartment that is about to become a dilapidated building.

Ding!
  After stepping out of the elevator, the yellow light bulb in the hallway flickered for a few times and then lit up.

Arriving at the door of Room 4, Ji Xiu took out the key from his pocket and tried to insert it into the keyhole.

Turning the key, to his surprise, the door opened.

The room was dark, Ji Xiu reached out and touched the wall on the right.

Snapped!
  The lights light up the room.

After closing the door, Ji Xiu began to search for useful clues in the room.

The room is about a hundred square meters in size and the furnishings are very simple. It can be seen that Li Tan's quality of life is not high.

Ji Xiu frowned slightly as his eyes turned to the children's toys placed on the TV cabinet in the living room.

After walking around in circles, Ji Xiu found useful clues in the study.

On the desk in the study room is a book bound with medical records.

The above information made Ji Xiu understand that Li Tan also has a 7-year-old daughter named Li Mumu. She suffered from a genetic disease three years ago and needed to be hospitalized for treatment. The cost of treatment was very high. In order to renew her daughter's Li Tan has to pay high expenses every day.

Li Tan basically spent the money he earned through the black hole organization on his daughter's treatment.

On the yellowed paper of the case sheet, you can see the tear marks left by Li Tan when he read it.

This is the third year of treatment. Li Mumu's condition has basically recovered and she only needs one more gene therapy surgery before she can be discharged from the hospital.

But now, Li Tan still owes a medical fee on the hospital account, and he needs to pay it back before giving Li Mumu final treatment.

Just when Ji Xiu was about to continue searching for other useful information in the room, the phone rang in his handbag.

Ji Xiu immediately put down his handbag and took out a blue mobile phone from it.

The phone shows an incoming call from "unknown number".

Ji Xiu didn't hesitate and pressed the answer button.

"The mission is completed, the score is 100, and the remaining points total 982. The mission reward will be distributed at 7:20 tomorrow night. The collection address has been sent to your mobile phone. I will wait for you for ten minutes. I will not wait if you are late."

Before Ji Xiu could speak, the call was hung up.

Looking at the re-locked mobile phone, Ji Xiu fell into deep thought and didn't understand why the Black Hole Killer Organization still paid Li Tan mission rewards.

He analyzed at the time that Li Tan was an abandoned son of the Black Hole Killer organization, so he called the police in advance, which resulted in Li Tan not being caught in time when he retreated.

The situation seemed more complicated than he thought.

There is also a possibility that the purpose of claiming a reward on the phone was to get Li Tan to ambush him after he surrendered himself.

But Ji Xiu didn't want to give up the mission reward.

This is an important fund for Li Tan to treat his daughter. As long as this fee is paid, the last phase of treatment can be started.

Curing his daughter is Li Tan's obsession, or it can be said to be his wish.

He didn't want to miss such an important channel for obtaining will power.

The question now is, since the phone is locked with a seven-digit password, how can he obtain the payment address sent to the phone by the Black Hole Killer Organization?

After thinking briefly, Ji Xiu turned his eyes to the case sheet placed on the desk.

After waking up the phone screen, Ji Xiu tried to fill in Li Mumu's birth date on the case sheet into the unlock column.

5430817.

After the last digit is entered, the lock screen disappears and the phone desktop pops up.
