17: One man is worth a hundred!

Boom!

Dark clouds hung over Cangnan City, and a muffled thunderclap was deafening.

Zhao Kongcheng looked up at the sky. "Thank you, but I won't eat. However, can you lend me an umbrella?"

"My Aunt's cooking is really good!" Lin Qi Ye wanted to persuade him to stay.

"Haha, not this time, really. When you train with me later, I'll be able to freeload on meals as your teacher!"

Zhao Kongcheng was in a good mood; the young man in front of him was a God's Proxy.

And he, an ordinary person without even a Forbidden Territory, could actually be the teacher of Michael's Proxy.

Doesn't that mean he's on the same generation as Michael?

A pure profit!

On the way back, Lin Qi Ye asked, "Uncle, who exactly was that Ghost-Face Man that night?"

Speaking of Song Zhong, Zhao Kongcheng got a headache.

So far, they had no clues.

"You mean 136? We haven't confirmed his identity yet!"

"136? Uncle, I remember your Squad's number is also 136!" Lin Qi Ye suddenly recalled this.

"That's right, but he has nothing to do with us; it's just a coincidence that the numbers are the same!"

Thinking of how the Ghost-Face Man skillfully peeled off the Ghost Face's skin in the alley that night, Lin Qi Ye felt a chill.

"Uh, Uncle, the Ghost-Face Man seemed to know me!"

Lin Qi Ye hesitated for a moment but decided to tell him.

Zhao Kongcheng's eyes flickered. "You mean that guy also knows you?"

Lin Qi Ye nodded; he keenly caught the word "also" in Zhao Kongcheng's reply.

"He knows my name, and he seems to know that I possess a God Ruins!"

Zhao Kongcheng's brows furrowed; the situation had become complicated.

That Ghost-Face Man knew the captain, seemed to know Lin Qi Ye very well, and even called him General Zhao!

Why would he know so much about the Night Watcher and Lin Qi Ye?

Zhao Kongcheng carefully searched his memories since coming to Cangnan, but he couldn't find any information related to Song Zhong.

"Well, Lin Qi Ye, go back and get me an umbrella first; I'll wait for you here. Leave the other problems to us!"

Lin Qi Ye nodded and walked towards his home.

Seeing Lin Qi Ye walk away, Zhao Kongcheng called Chen Muye.

"How is it, Kongcheng? What's Lin Qi Ye's attitude?"

"Captain, Lin Qi Ye has agreed to our plan, but now there's another situation!" Zhao Kongcheng said.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Muye's brows furrowed into a frown.

They had already found clues about the Ghost Face King and were currently investigating suspicious areas.

"Captain, when I was talking to Lin Qi Ye just now, he said that 136 knows him!"

"Hmm?" Chen Muye's heart tightened!

Zhao Kongcheng continued, "And that guy also knows me! Captain, do you think that guy might be related to the Ancient God Church?"

Based on what 136 Squad currently knew, Song Zhong was definitely not a normal person.

Logically, his style of doing things was indeed somewhat similar to some of the individuals in the Ancient God Church.

Chen Muye's voice came from the phone, "Probably not. Although this guy is crazy, if he were from the Ancient God Church, he would have taken Lin Qi Ye that night and wouldn't have waited until now!"

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Kongcheng asked.

"First, focus on eliminating the Ghost Face King. I'm going to the night market now, so I'm hanging up!"

Beep, beep, beep!

Zhao Kongcheng didn't expect the captain to hang up directly.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the captain was a bit strange today!

Old City, Night Market!

Chen Muye stood on a rooftop, looking at the bustling crowd below.

"Me, Zhao Kongcheng, Lin Qi Ye! 136 is very familiar with all of us!"

Chen Muye's heart was very heavy!

"Could it be a coincidence?" he murmured to himself.

These three people shared a common characteristic that only Chen Muye knew.

All three of them had been in Cangnan City ten years ago...

"Uncle! Your umbrella!"

Lin Qi Ye ran over with an umbrella.

Zhao Kongcheng took the umbrella.

"Lin Qi Ye, since you've agreed, starting tomorrow, you'll train with me! It'll be after evening self-study, an hour and a half every day!"

Lin Qi Ye nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, Unc... no, Teacher Zhao!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Kongcheng's smile was incredibly smug, like a small person having their way!

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Qi Ye was a bit confused.

"I'm your teacher, the teacher of a God's Proxy, haha!"

Lin Qi Ye was speechless. "According to you, I have a bunch of teachers at Second High!"

Zhao Kongcheng shook his head. "It's different. I'm your guide in the Mysterious world!"

"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy!" Lin Qi Ye was speechless.

Zhao Kongcheng looked at the sky and said, "It's about to rain. You should go back, or you'll get soaked later!"

Lin Qi Ye looked at Zhao Kongcheng's cheeky face and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance.

However, he quickly dismissed that thought.

They had only known each other for a few days; what reluctance could there be? It must be an illusion.

Boom!

The thunder in the sky rumbled again!

"Hurry up and go. Look, even the heavens are urging you home!" Zhao Kongcheng said.

Lin Qi Ye left!

Looking at the young man's retreating figure, Zhao Kongcheng stared blankly, wishing he could go back to being a child.

Plop!

A drop of rain fell on Zhao Kongcheng's face!

Boom!

Thunder rolled, and the wind howled!

Then, a torrential downpour began.

Zhao Kongcheng, holding an umbrella, ran quickly and ducked into his van.

The rain was heavy, and the wipers frantically swayed, but they couldn't clear the glass below.

"Luckily I have a car, otherwise this umbrella wouldn't be much use. But with such heavy rain, the car can't be driven for now."

"Sigh, I wonder if Captain and the others found any trace of the Ghost Face!"

Zhao Kongcheng subconsciously touched his chest, only then remembering that the emblem had already been given to Lin Qi Ye.

That kid really got a good deal!

Thud!

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from under the car!

Zhao Kongcheng sat up straight.

He remembered clearly that when he parked, there was a manhole cover under the car.

Danger!

This was Zhao Kongcheng's intuition, honed over many years!

He picked up his weapon and warning sign, opened the car door, and rolled out.

Then, he heard a bang.

The manhole cover under the car flew up.

Immediately after, there was another loud bang, and the asphalt road around the manhole cover collapsed.

Even Zhao Kongcheng's van flipped to one side.

A black monstrous claw stretched out from underground, followed by a head.

There was a deep, bone-deep wound on that head!

Ghost Face King!

A foul stench assaulted his nostrils; even the heavy rain couldn't wash away the Ghost Face King's odor.

Zhao Kongcheng's heart rate suddenly accelerated!

He didn't expect to meet his opponent in this way.

Damn it, Captain and the others missed him, and his car was also damaged by this guy.

"Hiss!"

The Ghost Face King looked at the human in front of him. It could feel that this human was very delicious.

Eating one of him was worth a hundred others!
