Chapter 185: Could the three of them elope?
After a while, Lian Mo's screams gradually stopped.
But he was not dead yet, he was just burned beyond recognition.
"Whatever... your purpose is... you are against all vampires... I am waiting..."
Lian Mo made intermittent sounds, but they were nothing more than threats. In the end, he died completely, leaving only a little ashes.
A ball of resentment gushed out from his body, rolling in the air like a black cloud.
Shen Cheng raised his hand to absorb the resentment.
But this time the number of evil ghost masks did not increase any more and still maintained its position of 99 percent.
Seeing this scene, Shen Cheng was not disappointed, because he had a premonition that the resentment required for the last 1% must be extremely huge, and absorbing only a few extraordinary people would not be enough.
Unless it's a master like Yin Hong.
Shen Cheng looked at the ashes left after Lian Mo was burned to death, and there was a little white light on them.
He was not interested in Lian Mo's ability, which had obvious weaknesses, nor was he very interested in Lian Mo's memories, so he was not very excited when he saw the white light appear.
However, with the attitude that the more abilities the better, he reached out and grabbed the wreckage, absorbing the white light.
"I bet fifty cents that your last wish is to kill me."
Shen Cheng talked to himself. He had this confidence because Lian Mo looked at him with extremely hateful eyes.
There is nothing worth mentioning about Lian Mo's memory. He is not a natural vampire. His master is far away in other federal state capitals. Lian Mo joined the Scarlet Dinner only after escaping.
There is no need to worry about beating the younger one and then the older one coming, and keep doing this.
Lian Mo didn't have many memories of Yin Hong. He only knew that this boss was very powerful, with sharp strategies and tactics, and he could keep all his subordinates obedient.
At least on the surface, he seems obedient.
After reading the memory, Shen Cheng had an extra red card in his hand, with a three-star chaos ability.
But this was of no use to Shen Cheng, because Shen Cheng won the bet, and Lian Mo's last wish was just as previously guessed, which was to kill himself.
This last wish was very clear and there was no room for maneuver. Shen Cheng also had no way of faking his death to exploit the bug, so this ability with an obvious weakness was destined to disappear.
After scattering Lian Mo's remains across the mountains, Shen Cheng took out his cell phone to contact Wei Yiting.
"I've already solved it here, how about yours?"
"A little faster than you."
Wei Yiting had also successfully killed Ao Liu.
Shen Cheng was not too excited because the plan had just begun. Ao Liu and Lian Mo were just laying the groundwork, and the real big fish had not been hooked yet.
……
Bibo Bay.
In a secret room, a vampire wearing headphones was lying on the sofa, humming a song quietly while watching short videos on his mobile phone.
Suddenly, he noticed that something seemed to be approaching outside the window. When he looked up, he saw a blood-red bat flying in from the window.
The vampire froze, his eyes wide with shock, staring at the bat that flew in.
He knew what this was; it was a request for help that every minister had.
The red bats can not only bring back news about the ministers, but also locate their specific locations.
He was assigned to stay here day and night in order to detect the emergence of the request for help in time.
Now that this bat has appeared, it means that a minister is in mortal danger and needs urgent rescue.
The bat landed on the table in the room and opened its mouth to make a sound.
"Hoffa, come and save me."
Just from this short sentence, one can sense the danger that Ao Liu is facing, because he almost roared out these words.
The sound woke up the absent-minded vampire. He jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the door of the room, ready to inform Hoffa what happened here.
However, as soon as he opened the door, the vampire opened his eyes wide in surprise, because he saw Madam Yan Rui standing quietly outside the door.
"Madam, you..."
The vampire thought that Madam Yan Rui came here early because she knew about the request for help.
But he immediately realized something was wrong, because Madam Yan Rui was looking at him with a cold gaze, as if she was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.
When he wanted to react, he found that his body was completely unable to move.
Madam Yan Rui used mind control to control the vampire's body, making him retreat back into the room, and she followed him in and saw the little bat on the table at a glance.
The little bat continued to make Ao Liu's roar.
"Hoffa, come and save me!"
Hearing Ao Liu's cry mixed with anger and panic, Madam Yan Rui's mouth corners curled up slightly, and she felt refreshed and happy from the bottom of her heart.
After Yin Hong retired, the person who suppressed Madam Yan Rui the most and jumped the most was Ao Liu, and of course Madam Yan Rui had the highest hatred towards him.
Now seeing Ao Liu in trouble, of course there is a strong sense of pleasure in revenge.
Madam Yan Rui did not expect that Shen Cheng actually brought a powerful partner who could kill Ao Liu.
She did not think that Shen Cheng was hiding something from her. Instead, she thought that she did not know Shen Cheng well enough and that this was her own problem.
While Madam Yan Rui was thinking, another small blood-red bat flew in from the window, also landed on the table, and opened its mouth to make a silent sound.
"I've been attacked by the Star Rangers, come and save me."
Lian Mo's voice was relatively calm, but one could also hear a sense of embarrassment.
Madam Yan Rui was not very concerned about Lian Mo, but was very curious about what he said.
Star Ranger?
Can Shen Cheng even invite the Star Ranger to help?
Madam Yan Rui was both surprised and happy. If Shen Cheng could really find so many people to help, she would be more confident about the next plan.
……
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Hoffa hung up the phone happily and ended his conversation with Yin Hong.
Just as he guessed, after he reported the failed meeting tonight to Yin Hong, Yin Hong decisively gave the order, asking him to gather all the strength of the Red Dinner Party and directly kill Madam Yan Rui's so-called cousin.
Then he would imprison Madam Yan Rui and wait for him to come back and make his final decision.
Hoffa was not only happy that he could completely erode Madam Yan Rui's power, but he was even happier that he had once again successfully predicted Yin Hong's attitude and decision.
Having followed Yin Hong for so long, Hoffa might understand Yin Hong better than Yin Hong knows himself.
Once he could grasp Yin Hong's mentality and thoughts, would he still be willing to be a servant whose life and death were not decided by him? Loyalty?
When Yin Hong stabbed Yu Bi in the back without hesitation, the word loyalty might have become irrelevant to him.
Everyone is pursuing their own interests in private, and several ministers are no exception.
Vampires have the power of life and death over their servants, but they cannot brainwash them or prevent them from betraying them, otherwise there wouldn't be so many defecting vampires.
Even the original founder of the Scarlet Banquet was a vampire who defected from the Eternal Empire and came to human society.
In a good mood, Hoffa went to the indoor bar and mixed himself a cocktail.
He decided to relax first, and wait for Ao Liu to come back, then summon Lian Mo and Hua Jiao to discuss how to deal with Madam Yan Rui and his cousin.
Because he was in a good mood, Hoffa drank a little too much without realizing it. The alcohol paralyzed his nerves, and he had no intention of staying awake, so he fell into a half-asleep state.
When he woke up, Hoffa found that it was already dawn outside the window. He looked at the time and it was a little after five in the morning.
He felt a little strange. Ao Liu had returned to his territory to deploy troops and should be back soon. Why didn't he wake him up?
After shouting to the outside, a vampire who was guarding the door came in.
"Has Ao Liu come back?"
"No."
"Where's Madam Yan Rui?"
"They stayed in the room until morning, and around 4 o'clock, the man left."
Hoffa frowned slightly, but did not realize anything was wrong. He waved his hand to let the vampire go out, then took out his cell phone and called Ao Liu, but found that the other party's phone was turned off.
"What the hell is this guy doing?"
Hoffa was a little unhappy. He had clearly instructed Ao Liu last night to go and come back early, so why did he lose contact?
He dialed Lian Mo's number again, but it was also turned off.
At this time, Hoffa finally realized that something was wrong. He subconsciously sat up straight and called Hua Jiao.
Hua Jiao finally answered the call, which made Hoffa feel relieved.
If Hua Jiao didn't answer the call, he might suspect that these three guys were secretly plotting something behind his back.
"Can you contact Ao Liu and Lian Mo?"
"Heh, haven't they always been your followers? How did they find me?"
Hearing Hua Jiao's mocking voice, Huo Fa's voice sank: "Something is wrong. Ao Liu and Lian Mo have lost contact. Contact them immediately. If you can't get in touch with them, come here."
Hearing Hoffa's serious tone, Hua Jiao did not disagree with him anymore.
After hanging up, Hoffa tried to contact Ao Liu and Hua Jiao again, but their phones were still turned off.
This situation has never happened before. One minister may have an accident, but the probability of two ministers having an accident at the same time is too low.
Hoffa called the vampire guarding the door in again and asked him to go to Lian Mo's room to see if there was anyone there. After returning from Tailing City, Lian Mo had been living in Bibo Bay.
After the vampire left, Hoffa paced back and forth in the room, suddenly picked up the phone again and dialed another number.
This time the call was made to a close confidant of Ao Liu.
The other party was a person Hoffa had placed next to Ao Liu, and through him he could understand Ao Liu's movements at any time.
"What did you say?"
When the phone was connected, Hoffa received a surprising piece of news: "Didn't Ao Liu go home last night?"
Ao Liu didn’t return to his territory last night, so where did he go?
The vampire sent out by Hoffa also hurried back to tell him that Lian Mo had disappeared last night and his whereabouts were unknown.
The two shocking pieces of news made Hoffa's brain work rapidly. He began to suspect whether Ao Liu and Lian Mo had some kind of collusion between them that caused them to lose contact at the same time.
Or did Madam Yan Rui predict the danger and take action against these two people in advance?
It's unlikely. If she had such strong power, she wouldn't have been forced into desperate situations.
Just when Hoffa was wondering and doubtful, he heard the vampire outside reporting: Madam Yan Rui is here.
Hoffa suppressed his anxiety and said, "Come in."
Madam Yan Rui walked in from outside with a very gloomy face.
When she saw Hoffa sitting on the sofa, she immediately strode over, slapped the coffee table hard, and asked sternly, "What did you do to my cousin?"
Facing Madam Yan Rui's angry eyes, Hoffa's CPU was smoking.
For a moment, he was completely unable to understand what was happening.
How come the world is in chaos when I wake up?
The number of missing people suddenly reaches three?
Hoffa was confused and could only endure his irritability and anxiety to comfort the woman who was about to eat him: "Madam, don't be anxious. Tell me what happened. I just woke up."
"My brother is missing."
Madam Yan Rui crossed her arms and snorted coldly: "He has been out of contact since he left at four in the morning. Didn't you do it to him behind my back? If anything happens to my cousin, I will never forgive you!"
Listening to his wife's hostile words, a thought popped into Hoffa's mind - could the three of them have eloped?
Then the second thought popped up: Did Ao Liu and Lian Mo team up to kill her cousin?
The three of them couldn’t be contacted. Did they die together?
When the thought occurred to him, Hoffa almost laughed out loud.
If this is really the case, then it would be like pie in the sky for him. He can directly accept the power of Ao Liu and Lian Mo. How can Hua Jiao fight with him then?
However, Hoffa did not show his emotions. He could only comfort the anxious Madam Yan Rui and then wait for Hua Jiao to arrive.
Hua Jiao rushed back very quickly, and because he couldn't contact Ao Liu and Lian Mo, he immediately realized that something had happened.
When Hua Jiao heard Madam Yan Rui say that her cousin had also lost contact, he subconsciously glanced at Huo Fa and had the same thought as him.
Such a good thing to happen so early in the morning?
If Ao Liu and Lian Mo really died together with Madam Yan Rui's cousin, and Madam Yan Rui, who lost external support, could not cause any trouble, then wouldn't the entire Red Dinner be decided by the two of them?
Hua Jiao certainly would not show this kind of little thought. He suggested solemnly: "Let's go to the place where the request for help is received and take a look."
Hoffa immediately stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Seeing that these two people didn't even ask her a question, Madam Yan Rui was not angry, but felt slightly relieved.
If Hua Jiao didn't propose it, she would have to find a way to bring it up, otherwise she would be suspected.
The three of them came to the place where the call for help was received. Huo Fa and Hua Jiao were still calm. If Ao Liu and Lian Mo really issued a call for help, the vampires guarding here would have notified them long ago.
But when they got here, they found the door of the room wide open and the vampire guarding it was gone.
The two red bats were still on the table, mechanically repeating Ao Liu and Lian Mo's cries for help.
"Hoffa, come and save me!"
"I've been attacked by the Star Rangers, come and save me."
Hoffa and Hua Jiao both showed surprised expressions on their faces.
