The Special Affairs Department chased from the inner city to the settlement of the people in the outer city, which shows that they found certain clues, so they were able to catch up shortly after Xu Ling and his group arrived.

But after reaching this position, they encountered difficulties. First, the level of urbanization here is very low, the lack of light and roads, which increases the difficulty of tracking. Second, the operators of the Special Affairs Department actually have little understanding of this place.

They joined this official institution not for ideals, beliefs and sense of responsibility, but for material conditions.

In the Immortal City, only the bureaucratic class can have the best resources. To put it bluntly, everyone joins this department for money and power. It is really a bit difficult to expect them to come to the outer city to understand the people's conditions when they have nothing to do.

Like Xu Ling and the others before, the officials in charge of the pursuit also needed guidance from local people. Otherwise, they would just find an unknown little woods cat, and no matter how powerful the God-Selected Person was, they would not be able to find it.

So at this time, when someone said that someone in this settlement had gone out and did not come back, the God-Selected Person in charge of the leader was extremely interested.

"You said, who didn't come back?"

He approached the accused villager who was in charge of negotiating with him, "Tell me, and then you can go back to the inner city with us."

But the other party showed obvious hesitation. He didn't know who reported the secret, so that the chosen one in front of him knew that someone was absent, but he knew very clearly who was not there. As a companion who was in this area to keep warm, he did not want to betray the other party.

The same is true for others. I just heard about the conditions that I could enter the inner city, and they all irresponsibly lied and tried their luck because they didn't know the targets arrested by the Ministry of Affairs and were outsiders.

Now that the situation has changed, no one has provided any information, because they don’t know what these guys who came to arrest people in the middle of the night are going to do. What if they confessed the person who led the passerby and the latter was captured by the other party.

The leader of the God-Selected Person narrowed his eyes impatiently: "Don't pretend to be stupid, I heard it just now, someone said someone hasn't come back yet."

It turned out that it was not someone who reported it secretly, but was heard during a secret conversation. Ordinary people underestimated the hearing of the God-Choose.

But even if he asked, no one answered.

The God-Selected One obviously knew exactly what to do with such a situation. He was not manic or furious. He just calmly took out his pistol and pointed it at the villager who had been laughing at him just now.

"I count three times, and after that I will hear the answer to the question."

He did not emphasize what would be done if he did not hear the answer, but it was obvious that those who lit the house to illuminate it would definitely not be ruthless.

At this time, the atmosphere between the venue seemed a little cold, even colder than the weather in the snow field late at night.

"I, my husband, he went to the field to watch, and he hasn't come back yet."

Suddenly, a somewhat weak woman came from behind the crowd. It was obvious that she was the wife of the guide and could not bear to see the innocent person die because of it, so she had to stand up.

The chosen one smiled, but did not put away his gun, and continued to ask, "Oh, how far is his vigil?"

“Not far.”

After the panic at the beginning, the woman gradually calmed down and showed surprising strength. "You can get there after walking for a short while."

The chosen one raised his eyebrows slightly: "So... there was such a big noise in his home, wouldn't he come back to see it?"

The woman shook her head and said nothing.

In fact, this is also a question in her heart. After all, she doesn't know what happened to her husband.

But information gaps often lead to misunderstandings. The leader of the God-Selected Person does not know that she does not know. From his perspective, this woman, and even everyone in this settlement, just want to hide something.

So his hands tightened the gun.

At this time, what was even more anxious was the guide who was squatting with Xu Ling.

"Sir, what should I do?"

He subconsciously wanted to seek help from this obviously unusual young man.

Xu Ling didn't have time to speak. He calculated in his mind how he acted and what kind of results would be caused, and whether such results would be accepted.

Because of his large amount of thinking, he could not respond immediately, but in the eyes of the guide, this was silently rejecting his request for help.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a pile of silver coins from his arms, which was the deposit he received after he agreed to lead the way.

"Sir, I should not bother you anymore. I, please help me keep the money. If I can live, it would be best if you can give it back to me, but I think they might take me away, but, I, I, can't watch my wife and companions die for me."

Xu Ling's thinking was interrupted by this behavior. He wanted to speak to stop him, but found that there was no sufficient reason.

Just when hesitated, the guide had already run out from behind the back slope.

"I'm back!!"

"Sir, don't shoot! I'm back!"

When Xu Ling saw a pile of coins thrown at his feet, he understood in his heart that this showed that the talkative man did not intend to sell him out. He did not bring money just to prevent him from being searched later. Once people from the Special Affairs Department found that he had a large amount of money from unknown origin, it would be impossible to deny it.

At the same time, he felt that it was a bit funny that the guy didn't forget to say that he remembered to pay back the money before leaving, but now he couldn't laugh.

Because he saw that after he led the passerby ran out, he was immediately controlled by several operators from the affairs department and was taken to the leader of the God-Selected One.

"Oh? You seem to be a little late, sir."

The chosen one looked at him with a smile, "What have you done for so long?"

The lead man forced himself to look straight into the other person's eyes, and the fire was jumping in his eyes: "I'm watching the night. Sir, I ran back when I heard the sound here, but the road at night was too difficult to walk, and I was not as strong as you, so I couldn't run fast."

The chosen man touched his chin with the hand that did not hold the gun, obviously evaluating the credibility of this statement, but not long after, he gave up doing so and changed his hand with the gun in a different direction.

"No! Sir, I swear to the Holy Spirit, what I said is true."

The lead man was anxious because he saw that the gun was pointing at his wife.

The chosen one looked expressionless: "I count three times, and before that, I will hear something useful, otherwise I will shoot."

This is not because he has confirmed that the leader must have something to hide from him, but because he doesn't care whether he will kill an innocent person by mistake. Unless he can get what he wants, he will definitely shoot after counting.

The person leading the way was paler than the snow in the middle of winter, and his conscience was undergoing great suffering.

And his wife, that woman, is not much better. She has lived together for many years and knows her husband is lying. He must know something, but he just doesn't understand why he refuses to say it.

"three."

The chosen one spoke coldly.

"Tell me, tell me, what do you know!"

The people around them couldn't stand it anymore. For them, no matter who the fat man the Special Affairs Department was looking for, it would be fine if the pharmaceutical company said it.

The leader's eyes flashed, and his simple sense of morality and hostility towards these operators made him not want to speak easily.

I wonder if the chosen one likes to see others suffering from anxiety, or because he knows that the other party cannot hold on, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But at this moment, he felt the signs of danger.

bite!

The tiger's mouth was shocked and the gun was out of hand. He didn't figure out what knocked the thing away.

But the next second, the feeling of danger rose sharply. After experiencing actual combat, he knew that this was an attack.

Just as I figured out the reason, a ghostly figure appeared on his face out of thin air.

"Damn it!!"

Before he could see clearly what it was, he subconsciously cursed and hurriedly took out his weapon and attacked it.

The burning sword and a sharp axe were slashed together, and the fire was splashing everywhere, making it even more gorgeous than the burning wooden house in the dark.

Xu Ling used all his strength to press on the hilt of the sword, and he did not lose any disadvantage in the battle.
