Chapter 21 Encirclement
After returning from the hospital, Liu Chun washed up and went straight to sleep. Now, all he needed to do was find a role to play as soon as possible, while keeping the factory staff from finding him, so that he could inherit a skill from that person.
Xiao Tianxuan, who wields a long halberd, Gui Zong, who wields a long sword, and the short Zi Wutuo, who uses underhanded tricks, all three of them came from different places toward Liu Chun's residential area and are now gathered in the activity area downstairs.
"You've already located Liu Chun's position, so where is he now?" Xiao Tianxuan asked urgently. The last time Liu Chun, who wasn't very strong to begin with, escaped from his grasp was a huge humiliation.
Gui Zong, like a fortune teller, took out his five fingers and calculated in a serious manner. After a while, he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed: "I did indeed plant a tracking technique in his body. The target was very clear when we were chasing him, but now... for some reason, the tracking technique has disappeared."
The short Ziwu Tuo glanced at him disdainfully and sneered: "With your lousy tracking skills, it's already good enough if you can actually lock onto one person. There are always problems. You shouldn't have dodged that finger strike in the first place. It would have been much better if I had been the one tracking."
"Where did the tracking technique finally disappear to?"
Ignoring the other party's rudeness, Gui Zong looked down at the ground and said with absolute certainty, "The tracking technique disappeared right here. I think his house should be in this neighborhood. Why don't we look for it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianxuan's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Gui Zong with a "you're not serious, are you?" expression: "No... can't we think of other ways? No matter what, there are at least several hundred, maybe even a thousand, residents in this community, and there are only three of us at most. How long would it take to find them?"
"Then you'd better think of some other methods." Wu Tuo looked speechless, his face full of helplessness: "If Liu Chun had still been discovered by the three of us by now, it would be fine, but the problem now is that he has completely escaped our pursuit. If we want to plant something on him again, we can only see if we have the opportunity to meet him again later."
Gui Zong turned to Xiao Tianxuan and sneered, "Didn't you previously boast about piercing his body with your halberd? What? Now you don't think he's worth our time to find?"
Xiao Tianxuan was in a terrible mood. Although he was warlike, he had also become a bit arrogant, which was why Liu Chun had escaped his control last time. He never expected that these two guys would still remember it.
I think you guys did it on purpose.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's get going. I don't want to fall behind you or anyone else."
The after-school tutor chuckled helplessly, "Looks like he's still the same as ever; he can't afford to lose face no matter what."
Gui Zong said solemnly, "Then let's set off as soon as possible."
And so, the three of them began to enter the adjacent floors, preparing to search for Liu Chun's whereabouts from house to house.
As Xiao Tianxuan entered someone else's house, he saw people drinking in the dark living room. Even though someone had barged in, they didn't say anything, but just said as if it were commonplace, "You're here. Hurry up, you're the only one we've been waiting for."
The man who had just finished playing cards looked towards the entrance door, but the other person had already vanished.
"Hmm, where are they?"
Gui Zong had barely entered someone else's house when he quickly retreated, panting heavily and his complexion fluctuating.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard heavy breathing coming from the direction of the bedroom; it sounded like the man in the room was chopping meat.
"Ugh, damn it!!! What kind of mess is this?!"
His instinctive reaction led him to move closer to the door to eavesdrop, but he quickly pulled back: "Don't look at what you shouldn't see. Let's find Liu Chun first. If we have any anger later, we can take it out on him."
Finally, after the short boy went in, he heard a series of heavy, labored breathing sounds coming from the bedroom. Startled, he didn't even need to check if it was Liu Chun before he immediately retreated from the room.
"May the Bodhisattva protect us! ... Do not look at what is improper!..."
……
As dawn approached and the sky was just beginning to lighten, the roosters kept in the residential area immediately began to crow loudly towards the western horizon.
"Ugh... Ugh!"
The three of them stopped at the same time, walked to the window in the corridor, and looked at each other.
At that moment, Gui Zong once again successfully sensed the location of Liu Chun's hidden home.
He pointed to one of the windows on the seventh floor opposite the other two, indicating that the "Liu Chun" they were searching for was inside.
"Time is running out."
They jumped out of the window, using the momentum to leap, and no matter how far away Liu Chun's house was, they could rely on drifting and adjustment to successfully land on Liu Chun's living room windowsill.
Be careful!
The three entered the living room and no longer felt unfamiliar with the layout, since their living place was similar to this one, or perhaps even worse.
"Isn't Liu Chun being a bit extravagant?"
"That's more like it."
Afternoon Tuo looked around and said, "He's not in the living room. He must be sleeping. Let's go and catch him quickly."
"it is good."
At that moment, Liu Chun, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly sat up and opened her eyes completely a minute later, hearing a noise coming from the living room.
He tiptoed out of bed, picked up the baseball bat from the bedside table, and approached the bedroom door with rhythmic steps, preparing to launch a surprise attack on any intruders.
"They only came to my house when it was almost dawn. Even the two debt collectors from before weren't this diligent. Besides, they knew where my house was."
Liu Chun thought back carefully and realized that the people he had recently provoked included the "mercenary" squad leader and three strange guys who claimed to be from ancient times.
who can that be?
Just as he was trying to hear how many people were outside, the entire living room fell silent, with only faint breathing sounds audible, but these did not reveal anything to Liu Chun.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Chun gripped the baseball bat in his hand even tighter, knowing that the other party would come into the bedroom once they realized that he was nowhere to be seen outside.
The three men outside the door quietly approached the bedroom door, ready to launch a surprise attack.
After looking around, Gui Zongchongxiao Tianxuan and Wu Tuo opened the bedroom door.
The bedroom windows were closed, making it pitch black, without a single ray of light, as if I were in some terrifying place in hell.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Just as Xiao Tianxuan took a step forward, a baseball bat made entirely of steel suddenly swung out from within. Although he managed to grab it in time, the force and inertia caused the bat to strike his face, dragging his hand along with it.
"Who dares to ambush me?"
Seeing that the other party had gained control of the baseball bat, Liu Chun in the bedroom quickly loosened his grip and retreated into the room.
Xiao Tianxuan angrily slammed the baseball bat to the ground, then prepared to turn on the bedroom light.
"Tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock..."
He tried several times, but the bedroom light still showed no sign of turning on.
"The lamp is broken!"
Gui Zong sheathed his longsword in its holster and said in a low voice, "There are three of us here, but he's still just one person. Kill him before dawn, and once you catch him, throw him out the window and smash him to pieces!"
Without further hesitation, the three rushed into the bedroom, not caring whether Liu Chun inside had any other means to deal with them.
It's so dark in the bedroom, it's uncertain whether the "Consider and Combine" technique will actually work.
