Chapter Four Master Bai
Early Saturday morning, Ping An Town.
The east side of Ping'an Town is a place with the best Fengshui.
The locals know that the east side of the town is a good location. There is a small park and a small mound that can barely be called a "mountain". The scenery is good.
Next to this unnamed hill, there are several small country villas with gardens. These are the places where the important people in Ping'an Town live.
And at the easternmost position of this area, which occupies a large area, lives the big man of Ping'an Town, Master Bai.
Speaking of this Master Bai, he has a good prestige in several nearby towns, and even in the nearby Jinying City, he can say a few words.
Lei Yi and Li Goudan, a well-known gangster in the town, came here together, and stopped in front of a decent single-family villa.
This is Master Bai's mansion, the two of them came here on invitation, to put it bluntly, they came to ask for a meal.
"No way, people always have to eat!" Lei Yi comforted himself while waiting for the Lord to appear.
After a week of devastation from the sea of questions, he felt more comfortable working out than doing exam papers in the classroom.
Now when he thinks about those exam papers, he feels like throwing up, especially when he sees a pile of dense white papers, he feels a sense of fear.
"Tch, you boy have come here honestly, why are you pretending to me!"
When Li Goudan saw Lei Yi appearing, he was very disdainful.
However, Lei Yi noticed that the current Li Goudan was not as careless as he used to be, and even had a somewhat reserved attitude except when talking to himself. It seemed that Master Bai's reputation in Ping'an Town was indeed not low.
While Lei Yi and Li Goudan were waiting, several people from the town came here one after another, obviously they were all called by Master Bai.
At this moment, a roar sounded in the distance, and a cloud of dust rose from the yellow mud.
A dozen or so jet-black "steel behemoths" were approaching Master Bai's residence, with a huge roar like a herd of bison galloping.
"Three hundred years after the Alien Beast War, some thermal weapons have failed, but the car is still there. But with its shape and size, it looks like a steel fortress!" Lei Yi murmured as he looked at the huge car passing by.
Not only him, but the townspeople gathered in Ping'an Town also paid attention to this convoy.
Because they have lived in such a big small town all their lives, and have never seen such a battle. At most, they have seen Master Bai driving a car.
The convoy quickly drove into the garden in front of Master Bai's house, the team disappeared, and the people in the town looked back.
Lei Yi curled his lips and continued to wait, but the appearance of that team still shocked him a lot.
"The breath is not right, is there something dangerous in the convoy?" He watched the convoy disappear, muttering in wonder.
He felt a sense of danger in the convoy, it was like an intuition that there was something or someone in there that made him very uncomfortable.
"I'm not a woman, what kind of intuition do I trust!"
Lei Yi shook his head, then suppressed this thought.
While waiting, more than 30 people gathered here one after another.
After these people gathered together, some of them were also whispering, and the surrounding voices were very noisy.
Lei Yi and Li Goudan also waited outside for ten minutes, bored.
Probably because he knew it was not good to make people wait too long, a strong man came out in a timely manner.
This person is nicknamed "Biao Ge", and he is the number one officer under Master Bai.
Master Bai called him A Biao, and everyone he knew called him Brother Biao, but no one remembered his full name.
This person looks tall and thick, with a thick back and a hulking waist, and looks a little simple and honest, but don't be fooled by these appearances.
This brother Biao is said to have learned a few kung fu, although he is not a martial artist,
But the combat power is not weak, and four or five big men are no match for him.
Master Bai also took a fancy to his ability, so he recruited him to be the chief guard of the Bai family.
"Listen, people outside, Master Bai is going to take people to Yuanqiao Village this time. Those who are willing to go stay, and those who don't want to go can leave!"
As soon as Brother Biao spoke, there was a commotion. Lei Yi was a little surprised. Is this Yuanqiao Village very famous?
"Oops, why is it Yuanqiao Village!" Li Goudan also exclaimed after hearing this.
This made Lei Yi a little curious, and quickly asked: "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with this Yuanqiao Village, seeing your surprise?"
"Not only is it famous, but I heard that strange beasts have appeared in Yuanqiao Village recently, specializing in eating people. There are even rumors that there may be fish that escaped the previous attack by strange beasts!" Li Goudan explained with a flustered expression.
This incident is said to have caused quite a headache for the mayor of Pingan Town. Jingui City even sent people to investigate, but no clues were found. This incident is still an unsolved case.
"So, does Master Bai have a clue, or know who or what is causing the disturbance recently?"
Lei Yi immediately became interested when he heard it, because he seemed very sure of what Master Bai meant.
Because the most talked about by the people around just now are "dead", "very dangerous", "what's so evil recently" and so on.
Now, after hearing that the place they were going to be this time was Yuanqiao Village, there were only about ten people left among the thirty or so people outside.
Li Goudan was not very courageous, and of course he was afraid of death, so he left the team while saying that he could not go to that place, and really chose to run away.
"Several people disappeared before and after, and several people were bitten by wild beasts, but compared with the legendary beasts, this destructive power is really smaller, it should not be beasts!"
Lei Yi didn't take it seriously, and seeing Master Bai's plan, he should be sure.
He is skilled and bold, so he plans to stay and see.
He has no income at this stage, and only by working for Master Bai can he earn some credit, earn enough to eat, and continue to study.
A Biao saw that the timid people outside had almost left, so he let Lei Yi and others into the yard.
It was the first time for Lei Yi to see such a big house. There was actually a small pond outside the house, and there was even a big garden beside the pond. It was really amazing.
I have to say that Master Bai deserves to be a big shot in Ping'an Town, he really knows how to enjoy himself, this is the place where people live.
In comparison, their factory building, which was used as a temporary residential area, was nothing more than a few dilapidated houses.
Soon, Lei Yi saw the rumored Master Bai, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples, wearing suits and leather shoes all over his body, looking a little imposing.
But his hair was thinning, and there was some sadness between his brows, and he didn't give the impression of being domineering, but rather haggard.
"It seems that the big man Li Goudan talks about doesn't always go his way!" Lei Yi muttered in his heart.
But what surprised him was that at the gate of the mansion, there were not only master Bai and the guards in suits from the Bai family, but also many men in black trench coats and barrel black hats.
And among them there is a man wearing a black face scarf who is the strangest. His face covers his entire face, only revealing a pair of pointed eyes, which gives people a sense of eerie.
There was a white skull embroidered on this person's face scarf, which was so unique that Lei Yi took a few more glances at him.
Lei Yi felt that this person had a much stronger aura than the other men in black around him, and that feeling was as unique as standing out from the crowd.
After seeing it, he secretly speculated that the man in the skull mask and the group of people in black trench coats were quite mysterious.
"This person is a bit powerful. Could it be that the danger I sensed before came from this person!" He stared at the man in the skull mask, judging in his heart.
Master Bai was communicating with the group of people in a low voice at the moment, but to Lei Yi's surprise, Master Bai, who had always said one thing in Ping'an Town, was the audience this time, and the leader of the group of men in black was giving orders, and the host and guest were reversed.
This surprised the townspeople who were used to Master Bai giving orders, and they all thought that these men in black were more powerful figures than Master Bai.
The origins of this group of men in black are mysterious, and their style of doing things is also unexpected.
Lei Luo thought that among the group of people, the one who could give orders must be the mysterious man with the most dangerous aura, but it was an ordinary team leader, and the mysterious man seemed to be planning to act secretly.
Ten minutes later, the team leader of the men in black had a discussion with Master Bai, and A Biao hurried out after receiving the instructions.
"Fellow folks, the place we are going this time is Yuanqiao Village, and the purpose of going there this time is to catch the culprit who caused panic in the past few days. I believe everyone has heard of it. It is to eliminate harm for the people!" A Biao mobilized loudly.
However, only a few of the dozen or so people left reacted to his speech, and the rest were still in low spirits.
"Ahem, this time Bai is in charge, as long as the culprit is caught, everyone can come to me to receive a bonus of 1,000 credits!"
Master Bai is an old man, so he obviously knows what some people want.
He's got a lot of credit for just opening his mouth, and he doesn't bat an eye when he promises a big payoff.
There is a saying that more money makes things easier. As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone cheered up.
"Master Bai, I don't know what we are going to catch this time. Seeing how confident you are, we all need to know something, don't we?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Haha, don't worry everyone, what we are going to catch this time should be a wild beast, not a legendary beast. Don't tell me there are so many of us, are we still afraid of a mere beast?" Master Bai wrote lightly.
After hearing that it was a beast, everyone murmured and whispered to each other, but their expressions relaxed a lot.
"In that case, everyone will follow Master Bai to make meritorious service!"
"Yes, go to make meritorious service and eliminate harm for the people!"
The crowd became agitated, and most people echoed their words.
Lei Yi also pretended to agree with the crowd, and at the same time counted the number of people.
More than ten men in black, more than ten townspeople from Ping'an Town, plus Master Bai's bodyguard, A Biao, the total number of people in the team was close to thirty, and there was no need to be afraid of any wild beasts.
But for some reason, he always felt that things were not so simple this time, especially the mysterious man in black, which gave him a very unusual feeling.
According to Master Bai's estimate, it should be a wild beast that made a disturbance recently, but does the wild beast need to send out so many people to hunt it down?
At least Lei Yi didn't believe it, there was obviously something wrong with it.
