The First Order

Chapter 160: Tiger and pig

The video ended abruptly during the third recording. It seemed like the follow-up research was either meaningless or could not be carried out any further.

But after watching the three video clips, Luo Lan had a feeling the young man was guarding unspeakable secrets. He lamented, “So it turns out this is the legendary Demon Whisperer? It seems like his superpower was awakened during the hypnotism process.”

Tang Zhou asked, “Should we bring him with us?”

“Bring him with us?” Luo Lan shook his head. “I, Luo Lan, still know myself well enough to understand that I can’t control someone like him. Moreover, we don’t know what kind of trouble he’ll cause if we let him out. You don’t know how many people in this psychiatric hospital have died because of him.”

“Demon Whisperer” was a title given by the organizations to supernatural beings who possessed extreme hypnotism methods.

Everyone was unsure about the level of hypnotism they possessed, but Luo Lan was surprised after watching the video. What made it even more scary was that the person in the video had probably only just awakened his superpower at the point the third video clip was being recorded.

Tang Zhou said, “Why don’t we just capture him and bring him back to do research on?”

“Qing Zhen and I do not do such things,” Luo Lan scorned. “Don’t bother about him, we will only take with us the No. 2 test subject.” Luo Lan then continued heading upstairs.

By this point, the platoon had already cleared the entire building. No one was alive other than Test Subjects No. 1 and 2.

The Qing Consortium’s troops performed their tasks efficiently. The Pyro Company would not have been so badly battered by them otherwise. Of course, this was also because the Pyro Company had not expected Luo Lan and his men to suddenly appear there. Furthermore, force Dawn under the Pyro Company had also not participated in the battle.

When Luo Lan passed by the soundproof room that Test Subject No. 1 was isolated in, he subconsciously moved away from it. It was as though he were afraid some beast would suddenly jump out of there.

Luo Lan and Qing Zhen’s father had passed away many years ago. He had died of lung cancer and could not be saved. At that time, their old man called them to his bedside and told them he was actually not worried about Luo Lan. He was more worried about Qing Zhen.

Because of the pride ingrained into Qing Zhen’s bones, it made him a very showy person. If the first half of his life was not smooth sailing, the latter half might not end well.

But Luo Lan was different. As an illegitimate child, he was extremely adaptable to circumstances. Even if someone threw mud on his face, he would not take it up against those he could not afford to mess with.

The younger and older brothers were like a tiger and a pig, respectively.

The younger brother was obviously stronger, but their old man kept reminding Luo Lan to protect his younger brother before passing away. No one could understand what the old man was thinking.

By this time, the platoon had carried Test Subject No. 2 off the operating table. Luo Lan took a look at her, then he curled his lips and said, “She’s too young. She must only be 10 or 11 at most? She could even be my daughter, so how is she supposed to help fight in the battles?!”

“Boss, the Li Consortium’s fighting force has been deployed. We’ve got to hurry and leave now.” Tang Zhou said, “The vehicle is standing by.”

Just as he finished speaking, Luo Lan and Tang Zhou heard a few rumbling sounds outside. They looked out of the operating room’s windows and were surprised to see that the vehicle standing by in the secluded area had exploded. It was as though they were watching a brilliant fireworks show in the middle of the night.

Luo Lan flew into a rage. “Who the fuck is destroying my new vehicles every day for no apparent reason?! I’ll take this to the bitter end with them!”

“Boss, stop yelling. We have to quickly get down into the sewers.” Tang Zhou dragged Luo Lan along as they ran out.

...

It was the wee hours of the morning. When Ren Xiaosu returned to the shop, everyone was still awake as they were worried about his safety. No one could sleep even if they wanted to. As Ren Xiaosu was now the mainstay of the entire family, no one would feel at ease if he wasn’t back.

However, Dong Funan was the one who suffered the most. She really wanted to sleep, but Chen Wudi said that she had to pray for Ren Xiaosu’s safe return together with them.

Dong Funan was dumbfounded. ‘Isn’t it good enough that you people are praying for his safe return? Why should I have to pray as well?! Are you all still human?! Never mind that I’ve been tied up and beaten, you’re even refusing me sleep now?!’

After Ren Xiaosu returned, he sat in the shop and waited quietly, because he reckoned... Luo Lan would probably come over later.

Right as Luo Lan and his group were about to leave the site, a battle ensued between them and the Li Consortium. Ren Xiaosu believed some people in Luo Lan’s group would get injured. If they needed any treatment, his first choice would definitely be to head to Ren Xiaosu’s place.

Luo Lan and his group got caught up in the battle because Yang Xiaojin had blown up their vehicle again. This girl was really good at sabotaging others, and her mind was probably filled with all kinds of trickeries.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before Ren Xiaosu heard the sound of a manhole cover being lifted up outside the roller shutter door.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu was a little curious. How did these people accurately locate the manhole cover that was outside their shop’s door?!

Ren Xiaosu raised the roller shutter door and let them in. Luo Lan whispered, “Hurry up and give treatment to these two brothers of mine. I’ll pay you!”

“Mhm, it’s easy since you’re paying,” Ren Xiaosu said slowly. He had a look at the injuries of the soldiers and then said to Xiaoyu, “Big Sister Xiaoyu, remove the bullets from them before you suture their wounds and apply the medicine.”

Then Ren Xiaosu looked at the girl in Tang Zhou’s arms and asked, “Who is this?”

Seeing that the girl was still in a coma, Tang Zhou explained, “This is our boss’s younger cousin.”

Ren Xiaosu nearly burst out laughing. ‘How shameless are y’all to lie like this?’

Chen Wudi also came over to have a look. He scrutinized the girl for a long while. Suddenly, he said to Ren Xiaosu, “Master, she looks like...”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Luo Lan got so angry he laughed. “What? Does everyone look like the White Dragon Horse to you now?”

“No.” Chen Wudi shook his head and said, “She’s not the White Dragon Horse but a carrying pole.” ¹

Luo Lan was confused. Ren Xiaosu was speechless.

Luo Lan got really irked this time. “How can such a cute and beautiful little girl be a pole? Even the carrying pole has achieved spiritual awareness?!”

The girl was still unconscious from the anesthesia she received during the operation earlier in the night. Honestly, Ren Xiaosu could not understand. How could the people in the stronghold do such a thing to a little girl? Even if she were a supernatural being, they still shouldn’t do something like that, right?!

Luo Lan glared at Chen Wudi. “It’s fine if you want to go seek the scriptures yourself, but why are you always eyeing the people I bring back?”

Chen Wudi said patiently, “Like you’d understand anything, Benbo’erba!”

Luo Lan sneered. “If you claim that she’s a carrying pole, does that make her a carrying pole? Would she agree to that?”

All of a sudden, the girl snorted and slowly regained consciousness. She looked around at the strangers around her, and then her gaze fixated onto Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi.

Chen Wudi tested her by saying, “Carrying pole?”

The girl stayed silent for a moment before saying, “Senior Apprentice Brother?!”

Luo Lan was confused. Ren Xiaosu was speechless.

‘What’s with a carrying pole like you randomly addressing someone as your senior apprentice brother?!’

Luo Lan felt like his intelligence had been insulted again. How could these two lunatics figure out the secret signal?! Just who were the ones going crazy?!
