God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 121: Intelligence Exploration: The Fog Clears

The fishy air was mixed with the fragrance of soil after the rain. Chu Feng curled up behind an empty trash can, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

Deep in the alley, the shadow assassin's curses gradually faded away and were eventually swallowed up by the hustle and bustle of the city.

He wiped the rain off his face and took out the information he had bought with a large sum of money from his pocket.

Under the dim street lights, the words on the paper were like wriggling worms, twisted into meaningless symbols.

Chu Feng frowned, his heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.

He spent a lot of effort and even risked his life to get this information. He thought he could find the key to turning the situation around, but he didn't expect it to be a bunch of gibberish.

He rubbed his eyebrows hard, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Damn it!" He cursed and held the information tightly in his hand.

At this moment, Pan Yue's voice came from not far away: "Chu Feng! Are you okay?"

Pan Yue's appearance made Chu Feng feel slightly relieved, but he soon became nervous again. After all, they were still in danger.

"I'm fine," Chu Feng lowered his voice, "but there's something wrong with the intelligence."

Pan Yue ran over to Chu Feng, glanced at the paper in his hand, and his expression turned serious. "Is it encrypted?"

"And the level of encryption is far beyond my imagination," Chu Feng said dejectedly, "It's like... like we worked so hard to catch a big fish, only to find out it's just a piece of stone wrapped in fish skin."

Pan Yue patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way."

Suddenly, a charming voice sounded behind them: "Two young men, it seems that you have encountered a problem?"

Lin Xiao appeared at the entrance of the alley at some point, holding an exquisite little umbrella in her hand, looking at them with a half-smile.

Chu Feng's heart was filled with alarm. This woman's appearance was too strange.

"Don't worry about it." Chu Feng replied coldly.

Lin Xiao didn't get angry either. She just smiled gently and said, "Young man, don't be so angry. There are some things I can help with." She paused, her eyes falling on the information in Chu Feng's hand, "For example, this."

Lin Xiao took a step forward, and Chu Feng subconsciously hid the information behind him.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled even more meaningfully: "It seems that this thing is very important..." She stretched out her hand, and pointed at the information with her slender fingers, "Is it more important than your life?"

Chu Feng's fingers were tightly gripping the information, his knuckles turning white.

Lin Xiao's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing his most vulnerable spot.

This information is indeed more important than his life. It concerns the fate of too many people and whether he can change this tragic ending.

But he would never easily trust the woman in front of him. Her appearance was too abrupt and her purpose was too unclear.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Feng's voice was low and hoarse.

Lin Xiao smiled sweetly, but didn't answer directly. Instead, she turned to look at Pan Yue and said, "Young man, what do you think?"

Pan Yue stared at Lin Xiao vigilantly without saying a word.

He felt that this woman exuded a dangerous aura, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

At this moment, Chu Feng's gaze suddenly fell on the lower right corner of the information, where there was an inconspicuous symbol, like some ancient text.

He had been so focused on the distorted symbols that he overlooked this detail.

"Wait..." Chu Feng whispered, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and an inexplicable sense of excitement surged in his heart.

He had seen similar symbols in ancient books. It was a special encryption method that required a specific method to decipher.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He began to try to crack the intelligence using the methods recorded in ancient books, taking every step carefully for fear of making mistakes.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air around seemed to freeze.

As the last symbol was unlocked, the text on the intelligence gradually returned to its original state.

Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he finally saw the truth hidden behind it.

"It's done!" Chu Feng said excitedly, but soon his face became solemn again.

The content of the intelligence was far more complicated and more dangerous than he had imagined.

Just then, a light sound of footsteps was heard, getting closer and closer.

Chu Feng looked up suddenly and saw Lin Xiao walking towards them with a meaningful smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.

Chu Feng's heart sank, he knew he had to make a choice.

He quickly stuffed the information into his arms, then grabbed Pan Yue's arm and whispered, "Let's go!"

Lin Xiao looked at the direction the two people fled, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Interesting... It's getting more and more interesting..." She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the remaining warmth in the air. "It seems that I have to speed up..."

Chu Feng pulled Pan Yue and shuttled through the intricate alleys.

He glanced back and saw Lin Xiao's figure looking particularly charming in the dim light, yet with a hint of elusive danger.

He felt mixed emotions. The appearance of this woman was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"Who is she?" Pan Yue asked breathlessly, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Chu Feng shook his head. "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that she is very dangerous, and... is related to what we are looking for."

They ran to an abandoned factory, surrounded by rusty machines and debris.

Chu Feng looked around and quickly set up some simple traps.

He knew that with Lin Xiao's skills, these traps might not be able to trap her for too long, but at least they could buy her some time.

"We must crack the intelligence as soon as possible." Chu Feng said as he spread the intelligence on the ground.

Those distorted symbols came into view again, giving him a headache.

Lin Xiao appeared at the factory gate with a faint smile on his face.

"You run pretty fast." She glanced at the crude traps around her with contempt, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

The trap was triggered, and several steel pipes fell from a height, blocking Lin Xiao's way. Chu Feng took the opportunity to pull Pan Yue away from the other side of the exit.

"Want to run?" Lin Xiao snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he avoided the fallen steel pipe.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue hid in a dim warehouse filled with the smell of dust.

Chu Feng lit a candle, and the dim light illuminated the surrounding environment.

"This information... seems to be related to the auction." Chu Feng said, pointing to a pattern on the information.

It was a strange symbol that he had seen in Auctioneer Zhao's office.

"Auction? Could it be..." Pan Yue seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became serious.

Chu Feng was concentrating on deciphering the intelligence when he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching... He raised his head and saw the leader of Sun's dark forces staring at him viciously with a cruel smile on his face.

"Got you……"
