...............
About ten minutes ago, Gong Yangzhen was walking while listening to the phone and chatting casually with the person on the other end of the line.
"Me? It doesn't matter. I'm free right now."
"Send someone to pick me up? Why? Did you change the venue?"
"…Um, I'm—"
After walking to an open intersection, he told the other party the location and hung up the phone. Gong Yang Zhen felt quite puzzled.
He has been to the underground boxing ring in Los Santos twice and knows the route by heart.
I had always been walking there alone before, so why did someone suddenly come to pick me up this time?
Moreover, there was no information given to the opponent in advance, and there was no sign that a match was about to be held.
Could it be that the big thing that Masao Kawamoto had prepared has already been completed?
"..."
After thinking for a while without any idea, Gong Yang Zhen gave up thinking.
Never mind. It’s a good thing to have a fight. I just hope that this opponent is strong enough so that I can stack Heart of Steel a few more times.
Not only the triggering of the Fighting Spirit Arena reward stage but also the completion requirement of "Mission: Steel Your Heart" requires Gong Yang Zhen to face powerful opponents, especially the "Mission: Steel Your Heart", which has only been completed 78/400 so far, and there is still a big gap from obtaining the mission reward.
I want to fight!
When he saw the level of Heart Steel soar from 400 to 2000, he couldn't imagine how cheerful he would be.
Your heart must be filled with the joy of harvest.
However, he didn't have time to think about it for too long. The driver sent by Masao Kawamoto was very efficient and drove to his side shortly after he received the call.
"Mr. Ram, please get in the car."
"Ah."
The sky gradually darkened and it was time for night to fall.
The black luxury car gives passengers a very stable feeling.
Gong Yangzhen sat in the back seat, watching the scenery outside the window gradually switch to the familiar neighborhood. Suddenly, he heard the driver in the front seat sigh and say, "There are a lot fewer vagrants on the streets here recently..."
Are you talking to yourself?
Gong Yangzhen glanced at the other person's eyes fixed on the road in the rearview mirror and said casually, "Really? I haven't lived here before, so I can't really tell."
"Haha, that's right. People who don't live here probably can't really feel the changes at night. In the past, if you walked alone at night, you might get robbed by armed kids."
“The law and order has improved.”
It seems that he is indeed chatting with himself.
Gong Yangzhen casually continued the conversation, and then heard the other party's slightly disapproving voice: "No, the public security has always been just like that... Mainly because Mr. Kawamoto has been cleaning up this neighborhood recently. Well, it started about half a month ago."
About half a month ago?
Gong Yangzhen suddenly seemed to remember something and showed a subtle expression.
The next words he heard confirmed his guess: "It seems that it started because the female companion of a certain important person was harassed by street thugs in this area, and Mr. Kawamoto found out about it. Hmm, it seems that there were three people? Not sure.
"Anyway, those unlucky guys were beaten up and sent to the Inugami Group next door. The boss over there seems to be researching some new punishment for the organization's criminals, and he needs living people as samples.
"Then we started to clean up the idle people in the streets and alleys. Now the results are remarkable. It is now safe to take deserted alleys in the middle of the night."
"..."
Inugami Group?
Gong Yangzhen showed a subtle expression and was silent for a long time. He changed the subject and said, "I see. This is a good thing... By the way, this doesn't seem to be the way I usually take to go to the bar?"
"Bar? Crazy Los Santos? We're not going there. There's no boxing match today, Mr. Ram."
"……what?"
At the same time, in an abandoned underground parking lot belonging to the Tragic Tooth Group.
The woman, who had her long hair tied into two buns on top of her head and braided the remaining length at the bottom, scratched her hanging temples and straightened her slightly wrinkled sleeveless cheongsam and trousers.
Then, under dim light, I started doing standing splits to stretch my ligaments.
From her effortless look, one can tell how flexible her body is. She must be able to perform all kinds of difficult martial arts moves with ease.
The bright red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes makes her look like an opera artist at first glance, but there is no exaggerated facial makeup, and only a little powder on her cheeks, which makes her look pretty and charming.
It is the solemn expression that makes people feel terrified.
"Well, you won thirty million from me, and you hired me for three hundred thousand, damn Kawamoto, you're just throwing yourself on the street like a beggar? Do you think I'll surrender?"
"Numb... really good at judging people."
At this moment, Li Youba hugged his raised left leg with one hand, thinking about the cause of the incident.
"Although I have said that Canglang's skills currently only show his decent boxing skills, there is still room for improvement."
"But let me, a kung fu practitioner from a completely different field, guide him? Will I make a mistake?"
"But I..."
It was simply impossible to refuse.
Now the small treasury that had been saved was declared completely bankrupt. Even if I wanted to take a chance and turn the bicycle into a plane, there was no way to do it.
After all, gambling requires capital, and I'm on vacation recently, so I can't get the appearance fee from the "Killing Fighting Association". This 300,000 yuan can really solve the urgent problem.
The question is how should I guide Canglang? Teach him to dismantle Nice Kung Fu?
...I feel it's not a bad idea.
But first, he needs to know the dangers of society!
--------
PS: I was visiting relatives the whole day and thought I would be home by nine or ten o'clock, but I got home before eight o'clock. I drove home as if God had helped me and there was no traffic jam at all. Maybe God was letting me go home to write.
Anyway, the first update is here, and the second update will be later.
Today's update is a little late, please bear with me.
Happy New Year, New Year's Day.
Chapter 36: To cheat or to launch a sneak attack?
"Just go in from here. I'll wait for you at the stop ahead and take you home when you're done."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It should."
"By the way... do you know what's waiting for me here? Can you tell me?"
"Well... I'm not sure, but if Mr. Kawamoto arranged for you to come here, it must be related to fighting? Then I wish you all the best, Mr. Gongyang."
Perhaps because this underground parking lot has been abandoned for a long time and has not yet been redeveloped, there is a bent railing at the entrance, and there are large and small pieces of gravel on the ground that no one has cleaned up, so cars cannot drive in.
Therefore, you can only park your car at a paid parking spot on the roadside.
Watching the car slowly drive forward, then turn on the turn signal and drive into the white line, Gong Yang Zhen turned around and looked at the dark entrance.
"..."
Although you said you wish me all the best, it is still unknown what will happen next.
Looking around, Gong Yang Zhen realized that this was a place he had never been to before, and he was a little confused for a moment.
According to the driver, there is no boxing match today.
So why did Masao Kawamoto ask me to come to such a shabby place?
Adventure? Are there any traps or vicious beasts inside?
Or will a few big guys jump out from behind and attack me as soon as I enter?
For a while, he stood there and stared at the dark entrance for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't make any sense of it.
After all, he is a low-profile Wolverine, not a low-profile Superman, and he doesn't have the X-ray vision to see what's really going on inside.
Never mind, let’s just go in and take a look.
If an enemy comes, I will fight him; if a flood comes, I will block it with earth... There can't be a ghost here waiting to attack me, right?
He let out a long sigh, his face calmed down, and he finally took a step forward and walked towards the depths of the entrance.
The ground, which had not been cleaned for a long time, had some mottled marks left by unknown things. The automatic lifting rod in the front that was originally used to intercept vehicles had lost its driving force and hung there weakly.
Gong Yang Zhen leaped over the lifting pole and paused.
too dark.
The scenery around me gradually darkened, and the faint sound of horns and the voices of people around me gradually disappeared.
Darkness fell, everything was silent, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the sound of your heartbeat, which was slightly rising due to your vigilance, became obvious.
Fortunately, he quickly adapted to this level of darkness. Gong Yang Zhen's pupils dilated and he was able to gradually see the situation inside the garage.
Although not completely clear, at least the road ahead can be seen more or less clearly.
However, I immediately found something wrong.
“…Is there light?”
Perhaps because the light source is a little far from the entrance, it is not very clear.
After walking a dozen more steps, Gong Yang Zhen was now certain that someone had indeed set up a light source inside this abandoned parking lot.
And I am moving closer in that direction.
"Is there someone waiting for me inside? Someone arranged by Mr. Kawamoto?"
"Looking for a private fighter? Or a martial arts instructor? Or a sparring partner?"
Not ruling out the possibility of being attacked, Gong Yang Zhen remained extremely alert, paying attention to any movement around him while moving slowly forward.
I kept walking while thinking, and soon the concrete floor around me had a huge color difference from the initial color.
Gong Yang Zhen also found the source of the light.
A lamp - a large lithium-ion lamp that shines directly into the dome and looks like a mining lamp.
"…But what about the people?"
The light has great power, and it shines like a pillar of light in the dark environment, illuminating the surrounding environment.
It's not bright, but it doesn't affect the action at all.
But looking around there was still no one.
With some hesitation, Gong Yang Zhen slowly walked forward, then bent down slightly to pick up the light.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
"!"
Feel the strong wind coming!
Gong Yang Zhen, who had been secretly alert, caught a glimpse of the fleeting black shadow in his peripheral vision.
what is that?
After processing the information from the eyes in an instant, the brain quickly gave an answer: a right foot with a black thousand-layer sole kicked forward sideways, heading straight for Gong Yangzhen's calf.
——Poke your foot!
The toes are as straight as a cone. If they hit the target, it will definitely shock the calf muscles and bones, greatly impairing the person's ability to move.
however.
As if a stone fell into the sea, the right foot that came with fierce force fell into a somewhat soft state, and the integrated force was eliminated in an instant.
That was Gong Yang Zhen's palm. At this moment, his eyes were fierce and he was about to stand up while grabbing the attacking foot.
Damn it, I've been waiting for this for a long time!
……what?
