Siheyuan: I don't mind if I break up the marriage

Taoist Sima seemed to be remembering some bad things again. She was already quite old, and after experiencing these things, she immediately looked much older.

He sighed deeply, and then said slowly:

"After the three of us gathered, we began to carry out the tasks required by the bureau."

"We made a huge mistake while going through the mission."

Sima Laodao looked into the distance with a deep gaze, and for a moment, he was choked with sobs.

Jiang Yueshen, Hu Bayi and the others also saw it, but did not step forward to ask the other party's intention.

"According to the clues provided by the bureau, the three of us came to the town we were in before."

"After finding a place to stay, we decided to rest for the night and discuss it the next day."

"But that night, there were noises of fighting and vandalism coming from downstairs."

"And it was accompanied by the sound of a child crying."

"You have also been to that town, so you should know the situation there."

"In the slums, life is already difficult for people, and the pressure is so great."

"When we looked, we saw two men trying to snatch a child from a woman."

"The mother of the child kept crying and begging the two men to let her child go."

"My child also kept crying and screaming, and the scene was in chaos for a while."

"My eldest sister and I were both moved. We saw a four or five-year-old child being snatched away. To be honest, in a place like this, no one knows what will happen to the child who was snatched away."

"So Sister Zhang and I decided to go down and try to dissuade the other party."

"And what Xiaoling meant was that it's better to have less trouble than more. After all, this is not the Forty-Nine City. In a place like this, the fate of ordinary people is much worse than that of ants."

"Plus, we have a mission tomorrow, so Xiaoling means to keep us out of our business."

"But the child's pleading and the adult mother's pleading seemed to tear the hearts of me and Sister Zhang apart."

"We really couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so we ignored Xiaoling's advice and headed downstairs."

"Now that I think about it, Xiaoling is right. Less trouble is worse than more."

"If Sister Zhang and I had listened to him, we might not be in this situation now."

"It's still uncertain whether Xiaoling and Sister Zhang are alive or dead, alas."

Jiang Yueshen asked, "Did that woman and that child collude with those two men to put on a show for you?"

Taoist Sima was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect such a simple trick. Jiang Yueshen revealed it in one sentence.

But he and Sister Zhang didn't see it.

Sima Laodao nodded and continued, "After we came downstairs, we negotiated with the other party."

"We couldn't understand what they said, but they had guns, so we didn't dare to do anything rash."

"In the end, it was a young man who could understand Chinese and started the negotiation between us."

"It turns out that the other party wanted to rob the girl because she owed their family money."

"That's why you want to use the little girl to pay off your debt."

"The two men said that if we paid the money, they would release the little girl."

"Sister Zhang and I didn't have much money on us during this mission."

"But we scraped together some money and managed to pay off their debts."

"After I gave them the money, they left."

"The little girl's mother thanked us profusely and asked us to visit her home."

"Even if it's just to drink a glass of water, he should thank us for saving his life."

"Sister Zhang and I didn't want to go at first, but the other party's overly polite expression was indeed a bit too exaggerated when I think about it now."

"When we arrived at the girl's house, it prepared some simple food for us."

"Little girl, and she even served the meal for us herself."

"But who could have imagined that our kindness would become a tool for them to exploit."

"It wasn't more than a few minutes before we were unconscious."

"Although we have some special abilities, we are still ordinary people after all. Under this kind of anesthetic, we have no power to resist at all."

"When I woke up, I found myself in a cave and was locked in a cage."

"The cage is only big enough for an adult to bend over and stand up."

"When I tried to get away, I found that all my abilities were gone."

"Not only that, his body is covered with scars."

"And all the luggage and backpacks that I carried with me were gone."

"The backpack contains important items for our mission in Southeast Asia. How can we explain to our superiors if we lose them?"

"I looked around, but I didn't see Sister Zhang and Xiaoling."

"It was at this time that the young man who knew Chinese came over."

"It was only then that I realized that this was all their conspiracy, and that this young man who knew Chinese was also one of them."

"I don't know what kind of evil magic they used. They used something like a small bottle to absorb most of the magic skills in my body."

"I was already seriously injured, and finally they damaged my supernatural powers."

"If I didn't have superpowers, I would be no different from an ordinary old man in his seventies or eighties."

"They beat me up first, then forced me into the car. When I woke up again, I was already in the skinning warehouse."

"Later, I met Comrade Jiang Yueshen."

"If it weren't for you, I would be dead now."

"As for Sister Zhang and Xiaoling, are they dead or alive? Where are they being held now? Or where have they escaped to? I have no news about them."

Having said this, Sima Laodao sighed and felt extremely regretful.

If he had known that the other party was taking advantage of his sympathy, he would have said nothing and would not have meddled in other people's business.

Now, not only is the life or death of their companions unknown, but even the mission items assigned to them by their superiors have been lost.

For Sima Laodao and his team, this mission can be said to be a complete failure.

Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he also lost his life.

Most of his magic power had been sucked away, and he had become a useless person.

"At the critical moment, you saved my life regardless of your own safety." Jiang Yueshen said with some gratitude.

Taoist Sima smiled and said, "That was the last bit of spiritual energy I had in the past few decades."

"I used it forcefully, and that destroyed the source of my life."

"Not only have all the spells dissipated, but my life span will also be greatly affected."

"I guess I don't have much time left to live."

When Sima Laodao talked about his own life, he seemed particularly indifferent.

However, he held Jiang Yueshen's hands tightly and said:

"Comrade Jiang Yueshen, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

"We must find Sister Zhang and Xiaoling."

"Even if I die, Ma Laodao kneels down and begs you..."
