Daomu Biji: The Southern Archives

Chapter 50: The Hints On The Money

When Mo Yungao sat next to Zhang Haiqi, she looked at him coldly. The legendary man behind the conspiracy had apparently been suffering from insomnia for a long time. He appeared very weak, but his eyes seemed to flash with multi-colored lights like colored glaze, full of all kinds of changes.

You couldnt see through this kind of person because they had no fixed form.

Mo Yungao stroked Zhang Haiqis ear before grabbing her earlobe and piercing it with the needle. He squeezed the blood out and dripped it into the bottle.

As the blood fell into the bottle, the ladybug inside began to frantically run around.

Mo Yungao couldnt believe his eyes and shook the bottle. The ladybug fell, got up, and started flying around in the confined space. It constantly hit the wall in an attempt to get out.

Mo Yungao looked at Zhang Haiqi. You really are from the Zhang family.

He dropped to the ground in front of the sofa where Zhang Haiqi sat, covered his face, and remained silent for a while. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to her.

Zhang Haiqi didnt expect things to develop like this and stared at Mo Yungao, who didnt get up for a long time. He seemed very pious, as if he had seen a deity performing a miracle.

But he didnt untie Zhang Haiqi.

This person is a psychopath. He loves putting on a show.

After he sat back on the sofa, he said, Ive read a lot of ancient books. The last time an ordinary person caught a person from the Zhang family was during the Ming Dynasty. I dont know if the novelist fabricated it, but its said that a great genius would pose a threat to the Zhang family every once in a while.

Theres no such genius in this era, Zhang Haiqi said. The only reason you can even pose a threat to the Zhang family is because theres something wrong with the family itself.

I heard that you people are immortal? Mo Yungao looked at Zhang Haiqis face.

Nothing can live forever. Even people in the Zhang family had their own lifespan. Nothing in the world was eternal.

Mo Yungao nodded. Youre right. But why did Zhang Qishan give you to me? What do you have planned with him? Mo Yungao asked as he suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Zhang Haiqi. Its easy for people in your family to untie ropes and handcuffs, right?

The rope and handcuffs on Zhang Haiqis body were still tight and locked.

She didnt move. You should be asking him this question instead. Maybe hes sending you gifts because he wants to make a deal with you.

Mo Yungao took out a note from the side, wrote a telegram, and asked the guard to send it to Zhang Qishan.

Youve caught a person from the Zhang family, so can you not release the plague in those other places? We can talk to each other properly. What do you want to know?

Mo Yungao laughed. You can predict what Im going to do, eh? He looked out the window, Youre wrong. Im not looking for some random person from the Zhang family. You guys arent qualified to discuss those things with me. I want to meet that particular person.

Zhang Haiqi looked at him. How can you be sure hell even show up?

Because everyone else that shows up disappears. Hell know that Im looking for him. As long as your people disappear one by one, I can force him to come out and see me.

The image of that pile of corpses flashed before Mo Yungaos eyes. They arched up, as if something was about to come out of them.

He was dazed for a moment. Dont be mistaken. Youre not the first person from the Zhang family Ive found. In fact, Ive met three of you. But I have a lot of respect for your people, so your body wont be wasted.

As Zhang Haiqi looked at him coldly, Mo Yungao continued, Why hasnt my guard come back yet? Do you think he got lost because its his first time being my guard?

Zhang Haiqi frowned, finally noticing that the closed doors on both sides of the carriage had electric-powered locks.

Youre here to distract me. Someone changed his face and pretended to be my personal guard in order to find evidence of my plan, yes? Mo Yungao said, Zhang Qishan has always liked these kinds of parlor tricks.

Zhang Haiqi moved her wrists, pulling the chain on the handcuffs to the limit. If she pulled any harder, it would break.

Mo Yungao continued, Since I can fight against the Zhang family, do you think you can use ordinary peoples methods against me? You cant get what you want.

Zhang Haiyan, who was posing as a guard, took the telegraph and pushed open the door to the next train car. It was very dark inside and there werent any guards. The telegraph room was just behind this car.

He lit a flare and found that the train car was full of bottles and jars that had various organs soaking in them like wine.

He took a closer look and saw that there were hands in many of the bottles and jars. Some of the hands had very long fingers.

Then he saw a huge jar that had half of a persons body in it. Considering how pale the soaked corpse looked, this person mustve been dead for a long time. He didnt know what method was used, but he could see that the person had a Qilin tattoo.

They had died from an explosion.

Zhang Haiyan looked around. When he saw that the coast was clear, he lit a cigarette.

The flare went out, so he lit another one and glanced at the reflection in the jar. There was a girl standing behind him.

He turned around. He didnt know when the girl had shown up behind him, but she was slender and tall, and looked exactly the same as the one he had seen on the Nanan.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that something wasnt quite right. They didnt look exactly the same, but were very similar. They were twins.

Im here to send a telegram, Zhang Haiyan said quietly.

Can I have you? The girl suddenly asked him.

Hmm? Zhang Haiyan said. Is the guard having an affair with this little girl? Are we doing it now? He asked himself.

The commander is still waiting, Zhang Haiyan said. Give me a moment.

I want you now, the girl said.

Zhang Haiyan touched the girls hair. Oh, my! He thought to himself. Shes so young. She shouldnt mess around like this.

Suddenly, the little girl grabbed his hand.

**

He Jianxi took the money out and looked at it under the sun. He saw a smaller person carrying a bigger person who was carrying an even bigger person.

What did it mean?

In this sequence, the smaller the person, the greater the weight they carried, which in turn made them stronger.

**

Zhang Haiyan felt an immense pressure coming from the girls hand. This kind of strength wasnt like that of humans, but more like some kind of animals.

Zhang Haiyan had engaged in too many fights and knew things werent looking good as soon as he felt the signs of her strength.

He immediately opened his mouth wide, exposing the blades under his tongue. When the girl was distracted by the blades, Zhang Haiyan ripped his sleeve off and flipped over backwards.

The girl was already in front of him by the time he landed, fully prepared to grab hold of his hand again.

Ill have your hand first, she said.

Zhang Haiyan suddenly felt a pressure on his hand and looked down to see that his wrist was now deformed.

He immediately felt pain and used his elbow to hit the girl with all his strength. She dodged a little to the side and then quickly grabbed his other hand.
