Where there are people, there is no hiding secrets, the company into the thief this quickly spread all over the place.
Everyone would talk about it consciously or unconsciously, speculating about who the mole was and why Boss Huang didn’t call the police.
But none of this had anything to do with Lu Yao.
He still commuted to work as normal, as long as his salary arrived on time, nothing else mattered.
That day after work, Boss Huang called Lu Yao and told him to get in the car.
Boss Huang drove his BMW X5 all the way out of the company’s downstairs parking space and onto the viaduct.
“Little Lu, how am I usually treating you?”
As soon as the boss opened his mouth, Lu Yao felt bad.
This was the meaning of having tricky things for himself to do.
“Actually …… boss I want to take a leave.”
Lu Yao used the advance as a retreat: “My parents have always wanted me to get married earlier and have been pushing me to go on a blind date for a long time.”
“My parents said that if I don’t go on a blind date, they’ll let me go back to my hometown to work as a temporary labourer.”
Boss Huang froze.
Finally he sighed, “Young man, indeed family has to be considered as well. Amy would be good if she listened to her family as much as you do …… to take a few days off?”
Lu Yao looked out the window.
From the moment he left the company, he had a strong feeling that there was someone staring at him in the dark.
Through the rearview mirror, Lu Yao clearly saw a white Mondeo behind him. This car had followed all the way.
Driving the car was a man wearing sunglasses.
The physiological enhancement brought about by the population growth within the simulator allowed Lu Yao to see clearly that the man in sunglasses was Fu Chenggang.
He himself was being followed by Fu Cheng Gang.
Which part of the process had gone wrong?
Or was the target that Fu Chenggang was aiming at in the beginning himself?
Lu Yao couldn’t be sure.
However, he knew that he had to find a way to get rid of Fu Chenggang.
The current priority was to go home and shake people with the simulator.
“Boss Huang, I want to start taking leave tomorrow, for three days.”
Lu Yao’s words surprised Boss Huang a bit.
However, he still nodded, “Good. Go back and have a good blind date, and I’ll keep an eye out for you if there’s a suitable girl. You take a break too, you’ve been busy lately.”
Lu Yao was polite with his mouth, his eyes kept glancing at the rear view mirror.
Fu Chenggang bit the bullet and followed the BMW all the way.
Lu Yao pushed that he was a bit unwell and asked Boss Huang to send him outside the neighbourhood.
……
Once back in the house, Lu Yao unlocked the door. He flew to his computer, opened the Temple interface, and nimbly summoned Isabelle.
This was not enough security for him, so he called Blood Knight Nevid to the real world as well.
Nevid almost crushed the computer desk when he came over, but Lu Yao couldn’t care less at this point.
“Be on guard.”
“Yes, Lord God.”
Nevid answered in a jarred voice.
The Blood Knight was a villain in the Pixel World and only revealed his true form when he came to the real world, his height of around two metres gave people a sense of natural oppression.
Nevid wore a black armour covered in scratches, the material of the armour was somewhere between rock and metal, and glowed with a ghostly light under the incandescent lamp. He is wrapped tightly in the black armour and carries a two-handed sword that is dark red in colour.
The cross-shaped hilt and tsuba were long and thin, making the sword appear even broader and heavier.
Lu Yao glanced at it and found that the greatsword’s blade was stowed in the knight’s back armour and fixed very securely.
Due to his full armour, at this time, Nevid wore a white bone ram’s horn helmet on his head, the [Withering Crown] exuded a cold and evil aura, and his pitch-black eye grottoes harboured a deep and restrained demonic nature.
The Blood Knight’s neck was completely wrapped by a scale armour gauntlet, on which hung a necklace-like [Flayer’s Statue], and a black and grey ancient scissors was inserted into the locking curtain at the back of his waist, which was [Mocking Scissors].
Lu Yao searched around and found that the [Head of Greed] was originally glued to the two-handed sword.
It was like a mass of dispersed creamy white paint, extending a thin tentacle that wrapped around the border between the tsuba and the sword, forming a grotesque stamen-like pattern.
The Blood Knight was really a bit striking in this appearance.
Lu Yao ordered, “Take off the armour.”
“Lord God, the armour is me, I am this armour.” There was no emotion in the Blood Knight’s voice.
Lu Yao drifted off.
It turned out that the armour was the body.
That’s right.
The Blood Knight was originally a special being created by the [Whistle Blower].
Lu Yao had assigned the [Ghost White Horse] to the Blood Knight, and with the advanced camouflage, he wasn’t afraid that he would be easily detected.
Isabelle, who was guarding the window, said, “My lord, a suspected Demon Apostle has been found.”
Lu Yao’s heart tightened.
He looked along with Isabel’s guidance and saw Fu Chenggang standing outside on the street.
Fu Chenggang was wearing a brown duck-tongued cap, he lit a cigarette and seemed to be looking around at the pedestrians with some inactivity. Beside him was a man wearing a mask.
Mask man wearing a dark blue air force jacket, head set knit cap, body and Fu Chenggang similar. It was just that he was coughing from time to time and didn’t seem to be in good health.
The Demon Apostle that Isabelle was talking about was the masked man.
“Can you tell the strength?” Lu Yao asked.
“The Flame of Faith is weak, but it could be a sign of weakness in disguise.” Isabelle was careful with her words, “We can only know if we’ve exchanged blows.”
Lu Yao felt justified.
Fu Chenggang waited for a while before splitting up with the Apostle. The masked man walked towards the back parking alley, while Fu Chenggang went in the other direction.
Lu Yao thought to himself, “It’s a good thing that he called the Blood Knight over, there’s no shortage of manpower.
He asked Isabelle to put a [Forest Sword] status on the Blood Knight before following Fu Chenggang and waiting for his follow-up order.
Relying on the eyes left behind by Isabelle, Lu Yao could keep an eye on Fu Chenggang’s side in real time.
With the Blood Knight sitting at home, safety was guaranteed.
Through the eye, Lu Yao found that Fu Chenggang was very vigilant. He had been circling around everywhere, going through the vegetable market, entering the shopping mall and then strolling through two floors before coming out, unable to see the exact purpose.
A thought flashed through Lu Yao’s mind: could he be creating an alibi?
The focus might not be Fu Cheng Gang, but the masked man.
Lu Yao grabbed the binoculars and looked out the window.
At this time, the sky was already dark.
In the parking alley, the masked man stood under the streetlight, his body shaking slightly, still coughing.
Lu Yao made an instant decision, ”Nevid, take out that apostle. Use the white horse to hide your whereabouts and don’t be seen.”
“Yes, Lord God.”
The Blood Knight’s thick and tall body leapt down from the balcony. While in the air, a white stallion manifested and caught him steadily.
The ghostly white horse transformed into a phantom on the street and ran silently all the way. The surrounding passersby did not have any abnormalities, no one noticed that such a knight was charging with his horse.
The masked man seemed to sense something as he raised his head and looked in the direction of the alleyway entrance.
This twisted his head, and his head suddenly flew up.
The headless corpse was still frozen in place.
His body went limp as if it had melted, leaving a trail of clothes and a blurry black shadow.
Lu Yao wiped a cold sweat as he watched.
Luckily, I am more skilled.
