Chapter 33 Here, ruthless people are lined up in rows.
Half an hour later.
Inside an unfinished building deep in the mountains.
What was originally a secret meeting for temporary workers has now taken on a somewhat bizarre tone.
Su Wuxian sat comfortably on the oil drum in the main seat, holding an ice pop that Wang Zhenqiu had given him as a gift.
Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong sat on folding chairs and drank tea.
The temporary workers from the region stood neatly opposite them, like schoolchildren who had made a mistake.
"Tell me about it."
Su Wuxian took a bite of his popsicle and glanced at the group:
"Is the company planning something big by gathering all of you problem children together?"
"Problem child?"
Wang Zhenqiu pointed to himself, somewhat unconvinced.
"What? Did I misspoke?"
Su Wuxian pointed at Wang Zhenqiu:
"Your name is Wang Zhenqiu, right? I think you're just a scoundrel. You have a bunch of messy tricks up your sleeve. You even dared to practice that old devil Xia Liuqing's god mask? Aren't you afraid of developing a split personality?"
"He gave you the mask of divinity so you could play around like this?"
Wang Zhenqiu was startled and awkwardly shut his mouth.
This old immortal is like someone with X-ray vision; he knows everything with just a glance, as if no one has any secrets in his eyes.
Su Wuxian then pointed to the black tube:
"You look pretty strong, but if someone gets close to you, you'd probably be a violent maniac."
The clarinet remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
Finally, Su Wuxian's gaze fell on Old Meng in the corner.
"And you, you must be Lao Meng."
"Stop pretending to be socially awkward. I already said, you're a... master at manipulating biological instincts. This mission is probably most closely related to you, isn't it?"
Old Meng trembled, raised his head, and his eyes were bloodshot:
"Senior...you knew all along?"
"Of course I know."
Su Wuxian threw away the popsicle stick, his expression turning serious:
"Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong, Cultivation Furnace."
"And that... the Gu-body Saint Child, Chen Duo."
The atmosphere instantly turned serious when Chen Duo was mentioned.
Black pipe stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Senior, since you already know, we won't hide it from you anymore."
"The orders from above are: destroy the cultivation furnace; if Biyou Village resists, kill them without mercy."
"As for Chen Duo... she must die."
"Must he die?"
Su Wuxian sneered, stood up, and that oppressive feeling descended once more:
"Who made these rules?"
"Liao Zhong died; it was an accident, and also a tragedy for that girl. What? Just because the company can't manage its employees, does that mean it has to destroy the products?"
"Senior, this is the board's decision," Black Pipe said, forcing a smile. "The Gu-body Saint Child is too dangerous. If it gets out of control..."
"Danger?"
Su Wuxian interrupted him, pointing to himself and then to Zhang Zhiwei beside him:
"Is it more dangerous than my senior brother's situation?"
"In terms of uncontrollability, is there a danger as great as my uncontrollability?"
"Why doesn't your company send someone to destroy our remains as well?"
Black Pipe: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This is just too shameless.
How can these be the same?! Are you two nuclear bombs? They ignite at the slightest touch, how are you supposed to destroy them?
Chen Duo is a biological weapon; neither of them are to be trifled with!
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
Su Wuxian waved his hand, taking the initiative in this temporary meeting and issuing new instructions:
"I'll join this operation too."
"Your mission can continue, Biyou Village can be destroyed, and I don't like that kid named Ma Xianhong either, so beat him up as you please."
"but!"
Su Wuxian raised a finger, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present, especially towards Xiao Zizai:
"Chen Duo, I'm taking her with me."
"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on that girl..."
Su Wuxian pointed outside:
"I hung him on that crooked tree outside, to keep Wang Ai company."
"Did you understand?"
"Also, you're all temporary workers, so you should already know what Wang Ai's fate is, right?"
The scene was deathly silent.
The temporary workers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Who doesn't know that Wang Ai, one of the famous Ten Elders and the head of the Wang family, has become a three-year-old with dementia?
It's all thanks to this big shot in front of me.
Who dares to say no now?
But... what is this?
Was it forcibly taken over?
Old Meng, however, was so excited that he trembled all over, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed to Su Wuxian:
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior! As long as you can save Chen Duo, my life is yours!"
He was the only one among them who didn't want Chen Duo to die.
The original plan was to ask the temporary workers not to lay a hand on Chen Duo.
But it seems unnecessary now.
A big shot has already made an offer.
Xiao Zizai also pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice:
"Since it is your decree, senior, I will naturally obey. However... how will I explain this to the company?"
"Explain?"
Su Wuxian took out his phone and, in front of everyone, made a video call to Zhao Fangxu.
beep - beep -
When the call connected, Zhao Fangxu's haggard face appeared on the screen.
"Feed? Master Su... Master Su? What's wrong with you again?"
Upon seeing Su Wuxian, Zhao Fangxu reflexively began searching for medicine.
"Fatty Zhao, just letting you know."
Su Wuxian pointed the camera at the temporary worker group behind him and said with a smile:
"These kids are now under my command."
"I've taken a liking to Chen Duo and plan to bring her back to Longhu Mountain to raise as my granddaughter."
Do you have a problem with that?
On the other end of the video, Zhao Fangxu stared at the impressive lineup and remained silent for a full three seconds.
Then, he took a deep breath and gave a smile that looked more like a grimace:
"No...no objection."
"Whatever makes you happy."
"If you can control Chen Duo, I have no objection to how you deal with him."
"As long as you don't demolish the company headquarters, everything is negotiable."
hang up the phone.
Su Wuxian put his phone away and shrugged at the dumbfounded temporary workers:
"See, it's done."
"Let's go, into the village."
"Go see what kind of crappy furnace that Ma Xianhong built that has made him so arrogant."
Deep in the mountains.
Following the winding mountain road, this team, which can be described as the "top-tier" in the world of supernatural beings, finally arrived at their destination.
What comes into view is a small village nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery.
White walls and blue tiles, neat houses, and even people working in the fields.
At first glance, this place looks like a secluded paradise.
"Is this Biyou Village?"
Tian Jinzhong turned down the power of his electric wheelchair, stopped it at the village entrance, and looked at it with curiosity:
"It looks quite respectable, not like some kind of filthy place. The air quality is also good; it's suitable for retirement."
"Senior brother, you can't judge things by their appearance."
Su Wuxian stood beside a large rock inscribed with "Biyou Village" and tapped it.
"This stone is covered with traces of Qi. It seems that the village chief is a very controlling person, not even letting go of a stone."
"And..." Su Wuxian pointed to the villagers who looked somewhat dazed but were working tirelessly:
"Look at those people, their eyes are fanatical yet empty. This isn't a village; it's clearly a giant pyramid scheme."
Several temporary workers followed behind the group.
Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses and looked at the village.
Although the murderous intent was suppressed, that professional scrutinizing gaze still sent chills down one's spine:
"The senior is right. The atmosphere here is... chaotic. It seems peaceful on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging beneath."
While everyone was still gossiping at the village entrance.
"Master Wang Ye! Old Wang!"
A surprised voice rang out.
A young man wearing a white martial arts uniform, with long white hair and a string of large red prayer beads around his neck, strode out of the village.
He had a handsome face and clear eyes, and looked quite like a celestial being.
It was Ma Xianhong, the village chief of Biyou Village and the successor of the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements" of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.
Behind Ma Xianhong followed Zhuge Qing, who looked helpless.
"Hey, Lao Wang, you've finally arrived!"
Ma Xianhong greeted him warmly, grabbing Wang Ye's hand as if he were seeing a long-lost brother:
"I knew you'd come! We're the same kind of people! Only here can you find your true home!"
Wang Ye awkwardly withdrew his hand and pointed to the large group of people behind him:
"Um... Old Ma, I didn't come alone. I brought my whole family with me, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Ma Xianhong then noticed the "huge lineup" behind Wang Ye.
He first glanced at Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, his brows furrowing slightly.
Then he glanced at the group of strange people behind him, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
What is this?
Why are there so many people?
Finally, his gaze fell on the elderly group in front of him.
What's going on with this bunch of old men?
Is he using this place as a nursing home?
Looking at Tian Jinzhong sitting in his electric wheelchair.
There was also Zhang Zhiwei, wearing sunglasses and carrying a backpack.
And Su Wuxian wearing a floral shirt.
Ma Xianhong was taken aback for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on his face:
"Old Wang, are these... your family elders?"
"Was it because your uncle was worried about you that he specifically sent an elder from the family to check you out?"
"It's alright, it's alright. Guests are always welcome, please come in! My Biyou Village is spacious enough to accommodate everyone!"
