Chapter 133 A familiar stranger.
How could Amber appear here? As soon as this doubt popped up in He Ci's mind, the hairs on his body stood up in alert.
Could it be that she was chasing him? But this was not right. When she fell into the river and drifted with the waves, even He Ci himself didn't know where the current would take him. How could she know accurately that he came to Shucheng?
"It's not Amber," He Ci was puzzled when Tian Qing's voice sounded in his mind, "To be precise, this person is not even a human."
Not a human? Is it a zombie or something else? "What do you mean?" He Ci frowned, even more confused.
"Although she looks like amber, inside... at least I don't see that she has a human soul."
After hearing Tianqing say that she had no soul, He Ci felt that things were becoming supernatural.
Yan Shungang led his people to the front. The woman looked He Ci up and down and spoke first, "Are you the He Ci that Shunzi mentioned?"
It was clearly Amber's voice and Amber's face, but she didn't recognize him? Could he be Amber's twin? He Ci raised his eyebrows, "Yes."
"Come with me, let's talk in the box." The woman glanced at the noisy surroundings, frowned slightly, and walked towards a box in the back with a slight twist of her waist.
He Ci hesitated for a moment before following. Yan Shun looked around the dance floor and pulled Luo Tingyu out.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where are your claws?" Luo Tingyu slapped the hand that was grabbing the collar on the back of his neck.
"Weren't you worried just now? Why don't you go over and find out what's going on?" Yan Shun's face under the mask showed some dissatisfaction with Luo Tingyu who was only concerned with having fun.
"Is the city lord here?" Luo Tingyu seemed to have just remembered something important. Seeing that He Ci was no longer in the booth, he couldn't help but ask Yan Shun, "Where is he?"
Yan Shun pointed speechlessly towards a box at the back.
After watching, Luo Tingyu rushed over, but was stopped by two bodyguards at the door of the box.
"The man who just went in is my cousin. I came here with him. Please be flexible, brothers." Luo Tingyu pointed at the back of the man who just went in and said to the two bodyguards with a smile.
The two bodyguards stared at him expressionlessly, with an expression of disbelief on their faces, then went in and reported.
After He Ci followed the woman into the box, he got straight to the point and asked, "Are you the city lord here?"
"Sit down." The woman sat down on the sofa, raised her eyes and glanced at He Ci, then raised her chin towards the seat opposite her and gestured.
He Ci did not move. A bodyguard came in and walked past him towards the woman. After whispering a few words, the woman said impatiently, "Let him in."
As the bodyguards left, another figure came in. Luo Tingyu patted He Ci's shoulder and complained in a low voice, "Why didn't you call me? What if you say something wrong and get caught?"
The woman glanced at the two of them, and only now responded to He Ci's question, "Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Meiying, and I'm City Lord Yin's secretary. You can tell me anything you want."
When Luo Tingyu heard the charming and beautiful voice of the person sitting on the sofa opposite him, he couldn't help but look up and squint his eyes to look at her for a while. "This girl is so pretty." The man had completely forgotten why he came here.
He Ci frowned, "I want to see the city lord."
"When the city lord is away, I am the acting city lord." Phantom crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes and stared at He Ci suspiciously, "Besides, isn't your injury more important?"
"Since she is the acting city lord, her authority should be the same. It's fine as long as she can solve the problem." Compared to the male city lord, Luo Tingyu was eager to talk to this beautiful female city lord.
"Where is the city lord Yin Ju?" He Ci asked in a cold voice with some impatience. He took out a dagger from his body and threw it at the wooden coffee table in front of him. The blade of the dagger pierced deeply into the coffee table, and the exposed handle trembled.
"What? Could it be that the injury is just an excuse, and you are actually here to cause trouble?" Seeing this, Phantom did not get angry but laughed instead, because in her eyes, He Ci was just an ordinary human being, not even a superpower. Even if he really came to cause trouble, there was no need for her to take him seriously.
The woman crossed her legs elegantly and clapped her hands to signal the bodyguards and thugs outside to come in.
"No, what are you doing?" Luo Tingyu was shocked when he saw this scene. He pulled He Ci with a look of panic, and lowered his voice to persuade: "City Lord Yin didn't come, so he didn't come. Our matter is not a big deal. There is no need to take it so seriously! Just show your knife, or people might think we are here to mess things up."
Following the woman's signal, in addition to the two bodyguards who were standing outside the box door, Yan Shun and four other men also came into the box.
Seeing the dagger stuck on the solid wooden coffee table, the atmosphere in the field was obviously not right. Yan Shun's expression also became a little gloomy, and he stared at He Ci suspiciously.
"I'll say it again, tell your City Lord Yin to come out!" He Ci's expression remained unchanged, but his look became increasingly cold.
Seeing that he was determined to do so, Phantom was even more certain that he was here to cause trouble. She put away her smile and gave her men an unhappy look, signaling them to take him down.
As soon as they received the order, several bodyguards rushed forward and tried to carry away the man who dared to challenge the deputy city lord.
Luo Tingyu, who was standing by, was stunned. How could the development of the matter seem to have exceeded his expectations? Before he could react and explain a few words, Luo Tingyu was handcuffed and pressed on the shoulders by two of the bodyguards.
There was a cold flash in He Ci's eyes, and before the four hands of the other two bodyguards touched his shoulders, he quickly grabbed the collars of the two men, hit them against each other, and then threw them to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, the two bodyguards were thrown heavily against the walls on both sides. Finger-wide cracks and obvious dents were visible on the two walls, which showed that the force used was not small.
The two bodyguards who fell to the ground vomited blood, their faces were horrible and they almost lost their voices in pain.
Phantom was surprised when he saw this. The other two took out their pistols and fired several shots at He Ci.
He Ci's agile body like a ghost easily dodged countless deadly bullets. While their magazines were being emptied and replaced, he suddenly flashed towards the two men, grabbed their gun-holding hands and twisted them in the opposite direction. With the crisp sound of broken bones, the two bodyguards also cried out in pain.
He Ci snatched their guns and kicked each of them away.
Before the clawed raccoon ordered by Yan Shun could pounce on him, it was shot in the head by He Ci who had a pistol. The man's face under the mask showed surprise and a flash of pale and blue. It was a pity that his pet was killed like this.
"Who are you?" But in a flash, all her men were defeated. Meiying's face was gloomy, and she couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and stared at He Ci in the field and asked, "What is your purpose in meeting the city lord?"
The three people on the other side had already been frightened and stunned. After the two bodyguards loosened their grip on Luo Tingyu, they wanted to go forward to help their teammate, but after seeing the scenes in front of them, their hands holding the guns trembled. Not to mention going forward, the two men now just wanted to run away.
"You just need to tell me where he is." He Ci glanced at her and spoke in a cold voice.
Phantom hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the battle situation on the field. Even though she had more people, she had no advantage at all. After thinking for a moment, the woman looked at He Ci and said, "Then come with me."
After saying that, the Phantom turned around and led the way to the secret door of the box.
He Ci followed.
The woman who had just arrived at the secret door sensed someone following her. Her eyes darkened, and she turned around suddenly and attacked at lightning speed while the person behind her was not paying attention.
The woman knocked the gun out of He Ci's hand, restrained his hands and pressed him against the wall. The Phantom's eyes changed, flashing amber light, and launched a spiritual attack when He Ci looked back.
He Ci's expression flashed with surprise, but Meiying still didn't know him well enough. How could she challenge the spiritual defense of System Tianqing?
Faced with the Phantom's attempt at mental control, He Ci was not affected at all. He broke free from the woman's grip and grabbed the Phantom's throat with his backhand.
"This... How is this possible? How can you not be affected?" The woman opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were filled with disbelief. Phantom used both hands to pull at the hand that was tightening around her throat. Seeing that the situation was not good, she compromised and showed weakness again, "You, you let me go, I will take you to see the city lord immediately!"
"It's too late. I've found what I'm looking for." He Ci lifted her up slowly without any mercy, and the strength in his hands increased instead of decreased.
He didn't let go until the woman stopped breathing. The Phantom's body lying on the ground turned into a black mist and dissipated in full view of everyone.
As soon as the phantom died, a sound of vomiting blood suddenly came from the compartment that the secret door led to. He Ci raised his eyes, kicked the secret door open with a cold look in his eyes.
