Chapter 169 The truth is about to be revealed
"You're awake, come over and eat."
Early the next morning, Luo Feng was taken to a secret basement.
At this time, the middle-aged man was wearing a scarf, still wearing the yellowed white shirt, and was cooking simple home-cooked meals.
Cucumber and egg soup, sour shredded potatoes, and duck meat with soy sauce that I don’t know where it came from.
He looks very ordinary, wearing glasses and honest, like a programmer who sits in front of the computer all day.
It can be said that even if it is thrown into a sea of people, nothing will be seen out of the ordinary.
Luo Feng knew very well that he had no chance to escape now. He just watched the middle-aged man place the food in front of him, then sat down and immersed himself in eating.
It was as if the bloodshed last night had nothing to do with him.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Luo Feng said solemnly.
"It's time to eat and sleep. Now it's time to eat," the middle-aged man said.
Luo Feng grabbed his chopsticks and ate quickly, "Can we talk now?"
The middle-aged man did not answer, but cleaned up the dishes alone, sat down with the thermos cup, looked at Luo Feng, smiled and shook his head.
"why are you laughing?"
"Let me ask you a question, for you, is Department Store good or evil?"
"There has never been absolute justice or evil in this world," Luo Feng said with his arms crossed, "The whole power lies with people."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, obviously very satisfied with Luo Feng's answer, "It seems that there are also sober members in Department Store."
"You haven't answered my question yet, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?"
Luo Feng frowned, "Many people in Department Store say that you are here for money, and you will do things for anyone who gives you money."
The conversation changed, "I thought so when I first joined, but it seems that's not the case now."
"How should I put it?" The middle-aged man discovered that Luo Feng was not only a talented person, but also had terrible judgment.
Luo Feng said calmly, "If it was just for money, you should have left the Imperial Capital long ago, instead of killing each other here with the people from Department Store and sacrificing so many people."
"This morning, I suddenly thought about something, that is, is there something or someone in the Imperial Capital that makes you care, so you can't leave?"
If the middle-aged man was surprised at Luo Feng's judgment just now, now he feels shuddering.
The middle-aged man took out a cigarette and lit it. It was not a good cigarette, but in fact it suited his temperament.
He took a deep breath and nodded, "You guessed it right."
"Is it a person or a thing?" Luo Feng asked.
"This is not something you should know. Sometimes knowing too much is not good for you. I just saw that you are a talented person, so I didn't want to tell you. Maybe this is because the Heavenly Master and your master have been sparing no effort.
The real reason for keeping this secret."
"What is the secret?" Luo Feng was secretly surprised. He glanced at the middle-aged man and asked in a different way, "What effect do you want to achieve in this operation?"
"The effect, how should I put it," the middle-aged man pondered, "it should have been achieved, although the sacrifice was a bit heavy."
"Old Heavenly Master, right?" Luo Feng frowned, "That Rune Master has never been here. He must have gone to deal with Old Heavenly Master. I heard your people talking. He has been sacrificed, which means he has faced
An opponent he cannot face, and this person is the Heavenly Master."
"That's right."
"So..." Luo Feng took a deep breath, "Master Tian is dead?"
The middle-aged man burst out laughing, "It would be great if the old Heavenly Master could die so easily. He is an old immortal who has lived for more than 180 years. In terms of cultivation and creation, no one can pry into it.
.”
"In the whole world, except for your master, the old madman, who is a peerless strongman from the old era who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the old Heavenly Master, I'm afraid no one can kill him."
"But..." the middle-aged man said with satisfaction, "but he is also a human being. He will die eventually, and he will also have emotions and desires. Once a person has emotions and desires, there will be flaws."
The colorful beads that Mr. Ye took from the Yin Yang Family, each bead was engraved by the lifelong skills of successive heads of the Yin Yang Family.
"That string of beads?" Luo Feng asked, "What is that?"
"Actually, it's not a great thing, it just can amplify people's seven emotions and six desires," the middle-aged man said lightly, "Mr. Ye deliberately used past events to anger the old Heavenly Master, so that the last colorful bead represents an angry curse.
The seal will fully exert its effect."
"You can't kill the old Heavenly Master, but at least this operation can make him incapacitated. You can see clearly and the goal is clear. Is it worth it to sacrifice so much?" Luo Feng became more and more curious about what is in the imperial capital.
They were actually willing to do this.
"It's worth it, everything is worth it," the middle-aged man smiled lightly.
Just then, there was the sound of soft footsteps at the door, and the woman in the middle stage of Dragon Peak walked in with a cold face.
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Feng without any hostility, "Little brother, you are a good person, at least compared to many people in Department Store. I don't want to hurt you. I can let you go after this mission is over.
But you have to promise me something."
Luo Feng was slightly startled, "What's going on?"
"Stop fighting for those people who are above you. They are not worth your efforts. With your talents and brains, you can completely stay away from the world. You will make great achievements in less than ten years."
"Can you agree?"
Luo Feng pondered, "I have never thought about working for anyone."
"That's good," the middle-aged man patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, "Work hard. When I see you, I seem to see my former self. You go down and rest first."
Luo Feng was then taken to the stone prison in the basement, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.
The middle-stage Dragon Peak woman came over reluctantly with a thick quilt in her arms, threw the quilt heavily on the wooden bed, and said in a deep voice, "This is Mr.
Stay here and build it for you."
"Sister, what's your name?" Luo Feng smiled and stood up to please.
"Stop trying to get close to me. If you talk too much, I'll kill you."
Luo Feng sighed, "I just think my sister is so beautiful, I'm just curious."
The woman's face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Luo Feng coldly and blurted out, "February is red."
"February is red?" Luo Feng was startled.
The woman explained, "We have never had a real name, and even if we have a real name, we are unwilling to use it. Everyone you see here has a tragic fate, do you understand?"
At this point Luo Feng saw endless anger and grief on Er Yuehong's face.
"Is it related to Department Store?" Luo Feng asked tentatively.
"It's not Department Store, but the entire martial arts world, and there are more forces you don't know about," Er Erhong clenched her fists and said gloomily.
At night, Luo Feng did not fall asleep.
In fact, Luo Feng didn't know if it was already night. He thought a lot in this dim stone room with only one oil lamp.
What are the First Heavenly Master, his own master and others hiding, and why can they provoke so many people to resist?
What kind of role is the Second Department Store? Internally, they are the laws of China and the martial arts world, but on the side of middle-aged men, they are hypocritical.
The third and most important point is, what are the origins of the people and things that exist in the imperial capital, and why are middle-aged men willing to pay such a high price and get something.
Everything seems to have surfaced, but no useful information seems to have been obtained.
At this moment, wailing sounds came from the corridor, and Er Erhong walked in carrying a thin homeless man, and then left him next door to Luo Feng.
"It's unlucky for you. You don't have to spend the night anywhere, but you come here. Don't worry, I won't kill you. You can leave after we handle the matter."
"What on earth are you doing? I was just passing by and wanted to find a place to sleep. Who did I offend?"
Luo Feng heard that the voice next door was very familiar, but because he couldn't see his neighbor, he tentatively called out, "Brother, do we know each other? Your voice sounds like a friend of mine."
