Man at the top of the food chain
Volume 2 Blood Sea Chapter 6 Surge
Royal Hotel, VIP room.
There were only two people, Xu Lichuan and Brother Huo, on the huge round table. The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.
As the most luxurious hotel in Zhongdu, it has always been a gathering place for the upper class in Zhongdu. All kinds of tricks that ordinary people would never think of are performed here every day. The amount that ordinary rich people spend in a day here is enough to make ordinary people feel desperate.
It is said that the wine and meat of the wealthy family are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road, it is nothing more than that.
"Huo Qing, the mayor is very dissatisfied with what you have done." Xu Lichuan exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Brother Huo condescendingly and said, "You usually just let it go, but now you don't even care about the second son's matter. Dare you take care of it? Who gave you the courage to do so?”
Huo Qing, also known as Brother Huo, frowned at this time, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, but after hearing Xu Lichuan's words, he did nothing after all. The mayor of Zhongdu City, Shang Anguo, stood behind Xu Lichuan. That was a power he could never provoke.
So Huo Qing just smiled and said: "Haha, Mr. Xu, I misunderstood, how dare I interfere with the second master's affairs." After saying that, Huo Qing toasted Xu Lichuan a glass of wine and said: "I was looking at Mayor Shang's calendar. Wanji, you don’t have time to care about such trivial matters, so you want to worry about the mayor.”
Xu Lichuan snorted coldly: "You just did it, but the people you sent were killed instead. Do you know that this makes us very passive?"
Huo Qing patted his chest and said, "Mr. Xu, I was careless this time. I have sent people to investigate, and I promise to bring Li Anping to you within three days."
"Why do I want that trash?" Xu Lichuan patted the table and said, "Li Anping is just a pawn, he has a useless purpose. Someone must be behind this this time and wants to use Li Anping to attack Mayor Shang."
"Mr. Xu is right." Huo Qing nodded.
"So our key now is to catch those who are hiding behind the scenes. We cannot let the small group of illegal elements retaliate against Mayor Shang. It affects the unity of the people and social stability." Xu Lichuan was also a civil servant. The clichés are quite smooth.
Then he said calmly: "But what you just said is correct. You still have to investigate from Li Anping. You just said three days, okay, I'll give you a week. If you can't find out, don't go there." Stayed in China.”
"Mr. Xu, don't worry. Within a week, no matter whether he is a dragon or a tiger, if he dares to go against the mayor in Zhongdu, he will be dead." Huo Qing toasted Xu Lichuan another glass of wine: "Speaking of which, it's still Mr. Xu It’s so far-reaching that you can be Mayor Shang’s right-hand man, and your words are so sharp. I heard that you were also responsible for Mr. Shang’s case some time ago. You’re such a capable person.”
Xu Lichuan smiled and said lightly: "It's just some small tricks."
Next, Huo Qing praised him again, which made Xu Lichuan, an old man in the world, feel a little elated.
After three drinks, when it was almost time to finish, Huo Qing stuffed a thick red envelope into Xu Lichuan's arms. Xu Lichuan nodded with satisfaction, then calmly accepted Huo Qing's arrangement and asked two of Dihao's red-card girls to fly together. After he followed the mayor, he resigned from his official position to facilitate his work, and now he had no scruples in enjoying himself.
After Xu Lichuan left, Huo Qing sat down, lit a cigarette, exhaled, and said to the empty hall, "How was it?"
Behind him, in the originally empty place, a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes slowly appeared. This man seemed to have been standing here for a long time. He only showed his figure after hearing Huo Qing's words.
He pulled out a chair, sat on it, picked up the wine bottle on the dining table and drank.
"This Xu Lichuan is just a scumbag. Brother, why do you need to look at his face?" The young man said with an unhappy look.
"I'm not looking at his face, I'm looking at Shang Anguo's face." Huo Qing sneered: "This Xu Lichuan has been handling some illegal things for Shang Anguo for many years, and he can be called Shang Anguo's spokesperson in the underground world of Zhongdu. As long as we can establish a relationship with him, our status in Zhongdu will be safe."
Seeing that the young man still looked unhappy, Huo Qing didn't take it seriously and continued: "Even if Shang Anguo didn't mean it, I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened to A Lang and Lao Nuo. Brother, it's related. If you have the ability, it’s up to you to check it out. With your ability, you can do this with half the effort.”
"Are you sure the opponent is also an esper?" Seeing his brother's conclusive tone, Huo Fei asked curiously: "Although Alang's ability is good, if the opponent has more guns, he may not be able to kill him. As for Lao Nuo, although he has rich experience , But after all, we are just ordinary people. It is normal for our physical strength to decline as we get older.”
"You wouldn't say that if you saw their two bodies." Huo Qing said, taking out two photos from his arms and placing them in front of Huo Fei.
Even with Huo Fei's many years of fighting experience, he couldn't help but frown when he saw these two photos: "Are these the bodies of A Lang and Lao Nuo? They look like they are powerful ability users."
"It's hard to say. There are many different abilities. It's useless to just look at the results. It's up to you to investigate the details."
Huo Fei suddenly said: "The two of them went to kill Li Anping, but both of them died, and Li Anping disappeared. Do you think it is possible that Li Anping awakened his ability, killed the two people and escaped?"
"How is that possible? Stop thinking about it." Huo Qing said with a smile: "Li Anping is an ordinary person and has no fighting experience at all. Moreover, his body is disabled. Even if he awakens his abilities, how can he defeat Lao Nuo? The two of them have experienced hundreds of battles. You are also an experienced master, and you should understand that the superiority of ability is never as reliable as the power a person possesses.
Unless that Li Anping got lucky and awakened some incredible super power. "At this point, he himself shook his head in disbelief.
At this moment, Huo Qing's cell phone rang, and there was an anxious voice coming from it. After a few words, his expression completely changed.
Huo Fei asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Chang Zheng is dead." Huo Qing slowly closed the phone, his face becoming extremely gloomy: "Someone called the police. After the police entered his factory, they found more than 30 corpses, including Chang Zheng. All but one of the hostages are dead."
Huo Qing held the phone and made an overwhelmed squeaking sound. He said in a cold voice: "I just asked him to investigate Li Anping's affairs, but he was all over it at night. It is very likely that the person who saved Li Anping took action. Brother , you can check it from this clue now.”
"Okay." Huo Fei agreed: "I haven't worked for several months. If I don't do something, I will get rusty."
Watching Huo Fei slowly disappear into the air, Huo Qing said harshly: "No matter who they are, anyone who dares to kill me will naturally have to pay the price, but it doesn't matter if others are killed. Li Anping and the person in charge, you have to Bring it, it can be used to sell Shang Zhenbang and his father a favor. "
…
…
Li Anping hid in the corner opposite the factory building. When he saw the police car arriving, he left quietly.
He walked in the shadows, feeling the boiling power in his body slowly calm down, and said to Hei in his mind: "Hei, tell me about your abilities."
After a moment of silence, Hei laughed softly: "After being possessed by me, you can absorb human souls by touching them when killing people, or directly eat their bodies to strengthen your body and spirit. Your Muscle endurance, flexibility, agility and even memory, reaction, etc. will be strengthened.
In other words, you can keep getting stronger by eating people. However, judging from the hospital, your ability level is still very low. Ordinary people can directly suck it by contact, but for people with abilities, they have to kill the opponent before eating it. "
Hearing this this time, Li Anping did not show the disgusted look he had in the past, but calmly thought about what Hei said.
"Does it have to be a human being? Isn't it okay to eat animals?"
"Hahahaha." Hei Kuang laughed and said, "Try letting tigers eat grass and lions eat vegetables. Human beings are the food we need."
"Food?" Li Anping said calmly: "So, you are not a human being anymore?"
"Humans?" Hei disdain said: "My position in this world is much higher than yours, but this is not something you can know now. Li Anping, don't think that you have been reborn after you have an epiphany. Although you have liberated your thoughts, you still have a long way to go before you can turn your thoughts into real power."
"Okay, but when I was in the hospital and in the factory, what was that sudden burst of power?" Li Anping did not delve into Hei's words, but then asked the question he was interested in: "I feel that in that state, I am much stronger than I am now, and my body is getting bigger. And it’s not just physical, it’s like there’s a voice in my head telling me what I should do.”
Hei replied: "When eating people, I can choose to use the energy to strengthen the body or store it. When the energy is stored, it can heal the body at critical moments, or it can explode your potential and enhance your physical fitness. So energy storage The more of them that are able to burst and heal, the harder you are to kill.
Just like in the factory just now, you ate a total of 34 people, and I helped you store the souls of 10 people. Even if your head is cut off, it can be cured by pressing it back with your hands. However, as you become stronger and the quality of your body becomes higher and higher, more and more energy is required to heal injuries.
There is not enough food for so many people. It's a pity that you gave up so much fresh meat. "Hei's tone was full of regret.
"I will not eat human flesh." Li Anping frowned: "And I will only eat the souls of those who deserve it. So when absorbing souls, how do you choose to strengthen the body or store it?"
"You know, they have been in your mind for a long time." Hei said: "Compared to memories, it's just that you subconsciously chose the way to talk to me to obtain this part of the memory."
Li Anping ignored him, just thought about it for a while, and sure enough he understood how to use energy to enhance himself and store energy.
"There's something else I'm very concerned about." In the streets late at night, shadows slowly emerged in Li Anping's mind, including grandma, Anna, Wei Shishi, Shang Zhenbang...
"The person who was sent to the hospital to kill me that day was also a person with abilities? Are there many people in the world with abilities?"
"I advise you to give up your plans for revenge for the time being and build up your own strength first. The forces you have to fight against are very strong, and not just ordinary people like Chang Zheng. If you want to take revenge, the police and even the army may become your enemies. ”
Hei saw through Li Anping's thoughts at a glance and persuaded him: "And you are not the only one with abilities in this world. According to my information, there are many powerful people with abilities among you humans. I heard that they divide people with abilities into ten levels. I don't think you are even at the first level now."
Hei's words were beyond Li Anping's expectations. He never thought that such a terrible fact would be hidden under the seemingly peaceful world.
He can kill more than 30 bloody men in the factory by himself, but among the people with abilities, he is actually the bottom one?
"But it doesn't matter." Seeing Li Anping's shocked look, Hei laughed: "As long as you use my abilities well, keep eating people to strengthen yourself, and accept my training, it won't take long for you to become the strongest person in the world."
"Training?" Li Anping suddenly stopped in the alley, and before he knew it, a pair of greedy eyes had been staring at his face.
In the alley, four gangsters surrounded Li Anping and looked at him with ill intentions.
"Hand over your wallet, bank card, and bank card password."
"Boy, I advise you not to be upset, otherwise you will get a few holes in your body." One of the yellow-haired men took out a butterfly knife and said.
When he saw the other party take out the knife, a cold light flashed in Li Anping's eyes.
Because after taking out the knife, the meaning of the incident has been completely different.
At the same time, Hei's laughter sounded in his mind: "Yes, now is the first lesson, kill them."
A few seconds later, screams and begging for mercy sounded in the darkness. This night, Zhongdu City was destined to become different.
