I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

Guan Sheng, a native of Huaicheng.

During the Huaicheng Pearl Hotel bombing on November 11, Guan Sheng, who was a waiter in the hotel restaurant, disappeared.Suspected to be hijacked and kidnapped by bandits (book wearers), someone later witnessed suspicious people near an industrial warehouse in the development zone, and one of them looked a lot like Guan Sheng.When Red Dragon was about to deploy personnel to search and track, Major Zhang Yaojin accidentally entered the abandoned world, alarming the Beidu headquarters and disrupting several plans that Red Dragon was executing at that time.

The cunning gangster took Guan Sheng away and escaped. Red Dragon was busy dealing with a series of sabotage accidents caused by the abandoned world. With limited manpower, the case of Guan Sheng's disappearance remained unsolved until today.

China is a big country, and some places are still blind spots.

In a mountainous area in Jing Province, Guan Sheng, who was sallow and emaciated from hunger, squatted by the window, his eyes glazed over.

There were four other people in the same room, all of whom were in a strange state of mind. Some were lying straight on the bed, and some were muttering words, filling this narrow room to the brim.

The guards outside the house were smoking and playing poker.

The locked doors and windows, and the homemade shotguns around the guards all seemed a little unusual.

The sound of the engine was heard from a distance, and an electric three-wheeled agricultural vehicle came up the potholed dirt road, loaded with bags of rice, potatoes and winter melon, and what appeared to be counterfeit Master Tang instant noodles, Mavis shampoo, etc.

The four men playing cards lazily walked over to help unload the goods.

Seeing the poor food, they cursed and said, "What are you doing? You can't even drink beer if you want to eat some instant noodles in this shitty place. It's fake! The brothers have been here for half a month, and it seems like they're going to eat it." It’s the Chinese New Year, and the Red Dragon gang is still chasing it?”

"Hurry up!" said the delivery driver, with yellow teeth and a cigarette in his mouth, "When there are more and more monsters and the number of casualties increases, they still have the mind to take care of these missing persons? Hey, when you unload the goods, lighten up. , it’s not that the boss is stingy, and it’s not that I’m pocketing my own pockets, but there are only these crap for sale nearby, so there’s no choice!”

The cold wind blew, and there were several coughs in the room.

"Yo, who's sick?"

"The one who is most afraid of getting into trouble...what's his name, Guan Sheng?"

"Take a few mouthfuls of medicine, don't die." The driver bit the cigarette holder, reluctant to throw away the last mouthful, and smoked carefully.

"If you die, you will die. I heard that he is not an important figure in the book. Heiyuan's peripheral members died in an accident and got lucky. But there is a saying that this guy is a rebellious boy, and he is going to find a red man." Scorpion sold Heiyuan's information, but others didn't believe it at all, and even lost his life, hahaha."

The laughter outside the window was endless, and Guan Sheng shivered into a ball.

"What are you doing with this kind of person? Waste of food!"

"Hey, you don't understand! Although he is useless, he has a good sister! A B-level space-type supernatural being, the backbone of the Red Dragon, her brother is a good bargaining chip, how can she lose it?"

Guan Sheng's dull expression changed slightly.

Bloodshot eyes overflowed with hatred, clenched his fists tightly, and soon covered his chest again, coughing violently.

This is a deep mountain, and the sound of howling wolves is often heard in the middle of the night.The two people locked in the house last time took advantage of the cold weather and the guards didn't want to come out to watch the night and ran away. Guan Sheng was afraid of death and didn't go. As a result, within three days, the body of the escaped man was found under the cliff in the ravine. Not daring to walk on the main road, he stumbled and fell to his death.

It takes several hours to walk out of the village from the mountain, and only a private minibus arrives in the town, which takes another three hours to reach the bus station in the small county town. It is more difficult to escape than going to heaven.

As for the villagers, they didn't come here at all, even if they passed by, they would not be moved when they heard the hoarse cry for help inside.

——This house is specially rented out to foreigners, and those who will settle here are human traffickers.

Human trafficking involves not only women and children, but men as well. They are sold to black mines in remote areas, or smuggled across the southern border, and then sold to ocean fishing boats as laborers in Southeast Asia. It is a hell on earth.

The group of people who kidnapped and imprisoned Guan Sheng were not real human traffickers.

But they are heinous criminals, lunatics!Thinking of the night when the Pearl Hotel exploded, these guys hacked and killed strangers on the road, Guan Sheng trembled with fear.

"In the deep mountains and old forests, we can't meet living people for a long time, and we don't even appear in the abandoned world. If this continues, we will be dragged down by a few trash in the house! If there is no chance to awaken the power, how will we mess around in the future? "

"When the organization has a scale, it is safe enough to enter the abandoned world! Veterans like us..."

Guan Sheng still wanted to continue eavesdropping, but there was a man in the room who was a little nervous and muttered with a smile: "Supernatural powers! Yes, there must be supernatural powers!"

Guan Sheng glared at him angrily. After being locked up here, he has not been able to eat enough. He has no strength, otherwise he really wants to beat the other party to shut up.The identities of his "friends in distress" are unknown, and they seem to be kidnapped by bandits just like him.

Without Guan Ling, Guan Sheng felt that he would still be comfortably lying at home watching football and drinking beer, working to make ends meet, and having a good relationship with the female colleagues in the Pearl Hotel, maybe he would be able to find a partner next year and get married the year after!

just now……

Guan Sheng coughed dryly, no matter how much he hated in his heart, he didn't dare to swear a word.

He knew that if this group of people found out that his sister ran away from home many years ago and almost cut off contact with her parents and elder brother, they would probably turn their faces and kill people soon!

It was very cold in the mountains, and there was no kang in this house. Although there was no air leakage, it was still too cold to be wrapped in a torn quilt. Guan Sheng felt that his condition was worsening in a daze, because everything in front of him was spinning.

Shouts came from outside the window.

Guan Sheng woke up with a start, and the "friends in distress" in the same room got up in panic and ran to the door, yelling indiscriminately for help, someone slammed on the window.

A sharp foot covered with long black hair slowly stepped on the yard, and the fence fell down.

The sound of exclamation faltered, and the earthen gun rang out repeatedly.

The giant spider exposed half of its body, and the impact of the earthen gun bullets only caused its body to shake slightly, and the translucent spider silk spit out, violently pulling down a short pine tree.

The roof was smashed, the house shook violently, and the door frame was crooked, revealing a large gap.

Guan Sheng opened his mouth wide in shock, watching the driver and guards flee in a panic, and was soon overtaken by this huge monster, wrapped in spider silk, and hung in the woods outside.

Everyone in the room covered the lunatic's mouth one after another to keep him from making a sound.

The lunatic struggled and groaned a few times, then passed out on the ground due to lack of oxygen.

Guan Sheng was sweating profusely, his throat was itchy, he tried desperately to hold back his cough, but he couldn't restrain himself, he stuffed a corner of the torn quilt into his mouth in a panic, making a muffled and low voice.Even so, the people in the room still stared angrily.

The giant spider seemed to regard this place as a nest. It patiently spun silk and weaved its web, and crawled around the house. After finishing its work, the spider crawled to the side of the woods and began to eat.

Soon there were two less "cocoon pouches" hanging on the branches, and the giant spider was lying on a large net, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, and remained motionless for a long time.

Guan Sheng lasted for too long, his body was almost stiff, he looked at the door with more gaps, his eyes full of hope.

A few people panicked and carefully found something to pry open the door, widening the crack. The earth embryo wall gave them hope of escape. Finally, the hard work paid off, and a crack that could allow one person to crawl sideways was opened. At the same time, the house was a little crumbling. .

People who are pale and emaciated from hunger can easily squeeze through.

Without looking back, they fled to the end of the mountain road, and no one paid attention to the lunatic lying on the ground.No one realized that they had stepped on some spider silk when they left the courtyard gate.

Subtle tremors were transmitted along the spider web, and the resting giant spider moved its legs and slowly raised its body...

"Bang!" The cup on the table exploded, and hot water and broken glass covered the table.

Guan Ling took a step back, regained consciousness and hurried to find the broom and dustpan.

"Hey, don't move, I'll do it!" Guan Ling's task partner jumped up to help, and while sweeping the floor, he comforted Guan Ling, who was a little distracted, "After the interrogation results are out, I'll know your brother His whereabouts! It’s definitely fine, you don’t have to worry.”

Guan Ling was depressed, and after thanking her, she continued to look down at the task documents.

She has undergone short-term urban combat training, and she has only joined the Red Dragon for three days, and is still in the inspection period.

"You went a little too far when you arrested that member of the vicious organization today..." The partner gestured, obviously out of good intentions, but he didn't know how to express it implicitly.

The unlucky guy who fell under Guan Ling's hands lost two front teeth and had a mild concussion.

The partner was a little distressed and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but the intercom rang and asked him to go to another office.

Guan Ling was the only one left in the room.

Not long after there was a light knock on the door, Guan Ling saw that the person who came in was Zhang Yaojin, she stood up and gave a not-so-standard military salute.

"This is?" Zhang Yaojin's eyes fell on the broken glass in the dustpan.

"I have lived in the northern capital for a long time, and I am not used to the winter in the south. I pour boiling water into a cup without preheating, and the room temperature is low and there is no heating." Guan Ling smiled bitterly.

"You are from Huaicheng."

"I haven't been back for many years..." Guan Ling subconsciously said, and then closed her mouth again.

Zhang Yaojin said in a deep voice: "I have your detailed information. You have lost contact with your family for a long time, and you have no relationship with your elder brothers and parents, only blood ties. So what is the reason for today's out-of-control behavior?"

Guan Ling could not make a sound.

"Red Dragon currently only has you as a B-level power user. Whether it is the leader of the national power team or your future comrade-in-arms, it is also my duty to pay attention to the emotional changes of my subordinates." Zhang Yaojin walked to the chair opposite Guan Ling. sit down.

Of course, the time of Major Honglong Zhang is precious. Guan Ling didn't want to hear about her "superior value". They have other plans. Assuming Guan Sheng is a bargaining chip for them, are you planning to blackmail me?"

Zhang Yaojin nodded: "That's right, but there's no more information written in the book, and they don't have a way to find out how your relationship with Guan Sheng's brother and sister is."

"Guan Sheng is deeply influenced by my parents. He is not a bad person, but he is used to... I am used to providing him with everything at home. I work to earn money to support him to go to school, and to save money for him to get married and buy a house. As for the brother-sister relationship, I still had it when I was young. Yes, when I was bullied by my classmates, he would fight with others, but it changed later." Guan Ling said blankly, "I have read all the information provided by the 'insider', if my parents die, I will My elder brother also died, and I was notified by my household registration to collect my belongings, and I will return to Huaicheng."

"When you were in Beidu, when you heard that Guan Sheng was missing, you agreed to join the Red Dragon... I was a little surprised at the time." Zhang Yaojin's tone showed that he had kept this question hidden for a long time.

"If Guan Sheng dies, my parents will collapse. There will always be a part of the gift of childbearing that they have not squandered." Guan Ling replied with a weary expression.

Especially when she found out that Guan Sheng's kidnapping might be related to her.

"The gangsters chose to destroy the Pearl Hotel in Huaicheng as a signal to summon the members of the same organization. This hotel is one of the landmark buildings in Huaicheng. It is the same reason that another small group chose the Linjiang Bridge."

Zhang Yaojin's back was straight, and when his eyes swept over her, Guan Ling felt that her decadent state was silently criticized, so she had to brace herself to deal with the "leadership inquiry", but what the other party said later surprised her.

"...Guan Sheng works at the Pearl Hotel, which has nothing to do with you. He was kidnapped on the spur of the moment. Later, the situation changed and the expansion plan of this vicious organization was broken. If Guan Sheng is still alive, He should thank you, the entanglement in your heart is meaningless, he was kidnapped and not caused by you."

Zhang Yaojin thought about it, and did not add the three-word evaluation of Guan Sheng by the book runner: Cannon fodder who didn't even appear on the stage, the cause of death was affected by the conflict organized by two supernatural beings, and it was generally recognized as "bad luck".

"It's not your responsibility, so don't carry it on your back!" Zhang Yaojin patted Guan Ling's shoulder.

"I……"

"It's a lot of pressure, just look at the information of Jian Hua and Li Fei, they are still alive and well!" Zhang Yaojin lit a cigarette and said slowly.

The author has something to say: Although it is a cutscene, the point is——

Zhang Yaojin: If it's not your fault, don't blame it!

Guanling = mouth =

Zhang Yaojin: If you can't think about it, go and see those two bosses. They have a lot of hot pot and magic, and they are happy to make money, fight monsters and fall in love [Huh, what did I say]
