Chapter 468 - 466: Chen Tianlong Lends a Hand
"So, we haven’t found the breakthrough to the problem, but once we find the right direction, all doubts will be resolved."
Chen Tianlong explained.
"Oh, I know, but... this is really terrifying."
Lin Wushuang pouted, thought for a moment and said, "Chen Tianlong, I think a school is a sacred place, and there shouldn’t be murders like this. After all, there are so many lovely classmates here. It should be filled with beautiful memories, not fear."
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. To him, Lin Wushuang is pure, and letting her worry and fear during such a beautiful youthful season really makes him feel a little guilty.
"Miss, don’t worry, I want to help with this matter." Chen Tianlong decided to step in, not for any other reason, but for Lin Wushuang and Wu Mengting to return to their carefree and fearless days.
Lin Wushuang was stunned but recalled all the extraordinary things Chen Tianlong had done in the past, then nodded. This man always made her feel safe, as if there was no danger with him even if the sky fell.
That night, fifty police cars had circled South Sea City countless times, but not a single person was found.
However, traffic accidents and missing cases were increasing, and the police station’s emergency phone was ringing non-stop, making Zhao Bing want to jump off a building.
Early the next morning, around six o’clock, a dark figure appeared at the gate of South Sea No.1 Middle School. The school guard had just woken up and was stunned when he saw the visitor, then realized it was Zheng Dong, the recently deceased.
"Ghost! It’s a ghost!"
The old man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, not daring to look again.
But the shadow flashed in directly, entering the campus. The old man sensed something was wrong, quickly ran out of the guard room, saw the figure slowly leaving into the campus, his hands trembling, and ran back into the guard room.
Suddenly he thought, this early, the principal and others hadn’t come to work yet, so he mustered up the courage, grabbed a stun rod and chased after him.
Although the guard is an old man, he is devoted to his duty. For the safety of the students, he would risk his old life to stop it, whether it’s a ghost or not.
Holding a flashlight and an electric baton, the old man quickly chased after.
Sure enough, at the library entrance, Zheng Dong was standing dumbly, staring ahead motionlessly.
Seeing this scene, the old man truly thought Zheng Dong’s ghost had returned, since he died here.
Suddenly, Zheng Dong turned his head sharply, his eyes red, hair disheveled, and his whole body exuded an eerie aura. Seeing this, the guard quickly turned on the electric baton and shone the flashlight over.
"Zheng... Zheng Dong, I’m the guard grandpa, don’t harm me, I don’t know why you died, just hope you won’t harm others anymore, have a good life in heaven."
The old man stammered; he didn’t know if the ghost could understand him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the electric baton fall to the ground with a clatter, as Zheng Dong grabbed his neck, evidently intending to strangle the old man.
At the critical moment, three silver needles flashed out of nowhere, directly piercing the three major acupoints on Zheng Dong’s head, precise beyond compare.
As Zheng Dong withdrew his hand, the old man fell to the ground, clearly passed out.
Chen Tianlong flashed out, probed the nose of the guard for a while, and, finding nothing wrong, was relieved.
After sending Wu Mengting back to the dormitory last night, Chen Tianlong thought about it, installed the pinhole cameras he bought earlier next to the library entrance, then opened the mobile software with an alert sound.
Early this morning, the alarm went off, and Chen Tianlong quickly got up, dressed swiftly, and ran out without saying a word.
He was just in time, if he had been a moment later, the old man might have lost his life.
Zheng Dong clearly sensed the threat, hurriedly turned around wanting to attack Chen Tianlong, but found his head was in a daze, unable to muster strength.
It’s no wonder, he was hit by Chen Tianlong’s silver needles, and the three vital acupoints in his brain had been sealed.
After all, he wasn’t a pure undead, and some brain cells were not fully controlled by the virus, so after the acupoints were controlled, he couldn’t exert the expected power.
"Haha, it’s the virus causing trouble again, is it that Xu Fei guy?"
Chen Tianlong recalled the previous super virus, which was brought into the school by Xu Fei, and this time was evidently much more formidable. Even the hospital couldn’t find the cause, the Mo Family’s medical skill is truly superb.
"Stop messing around, lie down for me!"
Suddenly, a group of people rushed over from not far away, each holding guns.
These people were Zhang Yufei and Zhou Qiang, they had been tracking all night, finally found Zheng Dong’s figure in the surveillance video at South Sea No.1 Middle School’s gate, and rushed over.
However, Zheng Dong clearly lacked awareness and began slowly moving toward the police.
Chen Tianlong was shocked, hurriedly shouted, "Everyone don’t shoot!"
Zhang Yufei was stunned, she seemed to hear a familiar voice, hurriedly ordered her men to put down their guns. After a while, Chen Tianlong quickly walked up to Zhang Yufei.
"Ah? Chen Tianlong, why is it you... how come you’re with..."
"I’ll explain later, want to capture Zheng Dong first." Chen Tianlong laughed bitterly, unable to explain at the moment.
"Alright, then let’s go have some morning tea!"
"No problem!"
Chen Tianlong nodded.
"Cuff him and take him back to the police station!" Zhang Yufei ordered, and then left with Chen Tianlong, leaving Zhou Qiang and his men to handle the old man and Zheng Dong.
Ten minutes later, in a morning tea shop.
"Chen Tianlong, what exactly is going on, why were you with Zheng Dong, and what happened to Zheng Dong?"
As soon as they sat down, Zhang Yufei poured out all her doubts.
"Hmm, I’ve been investigating in secret all along, later I heard you suspected the Mo Family, and I recalled some things, so I was waiting at the library."
Chen Tianlong clearly ignored many details, he didn’t want to reveal too much, to prevent Zhang Yufei from frighten the snake. Chen Tianlong figured if these two events were done by the Xu Family, there must be a big conspiracy.
Xu Kan, that old guy, was so weird, lightly patting Wu Mengting last time made her hit by the Heart-Burning Gu poison, not knowing how many more vicious tricks the old guy has.
Without a hundred percent certainty, Chen Tianlong indeed dared not act recklessly.
"How did you know Zheng Dong would definitely return to the library?" Zhang Yufei wondered and directly asked.
"Would you believe it if I said it was a guess?" Chen Tianlong clearly didn’t want to explain much and directly fooled.
"..."
Zhang Yufei was speechless for a while, but she wasn’t stupid, this was clearly Chen Tianlong’s unwillingness to speak. Anyway, the matter had already ended, and she didn’t want to dwell on it.
"However, I remind you all, Zheng Dong is not that simple. Although he’s been captured, the stuff in his head could explode at any time. I suggest you lock him up properly, or things could get worse."
Chen Tianlong was merely speculating, based on Xu Kan’s character, spending so much effort to get such a person, to be easily dealt with by himself.
This phenomenon only had one possibility, which is, Zheng Dong was just an experiment.
