Chapter 148 - Chaos and Confusion (2/2)

“Ah, how stuffy!”

Bai Li had grown to dislike staying in her bestial form now as she could not fiddle with the communicator, nor was she able to wear pretty clothes in that form, boring her out of her mind.

Qin Feng poked at her cute tiny nose. “Alright, after I’m done resting, let’s go buy a new outfit for you!”

“Hubby’s the best!”

Bai Li wrapped her arms around Qin Feng and licked his cheeks playfully, disregarding the fact that he had not washed himself for the past few days.

They quickly looked for a random hotel to check into. One in which Qin Feng was able to take a nice, long bath. After thoroughly scrubbing himself clean, he threw on a fresh, casual outfit for the first time in what seemed like ages.

Qin Feng, who was not wearing his school uniform but was sporting a casual outfit, appeared sharp nonetheless. Apart from that, due to his height and toned muscles, nobody was able to make out that he was in fact, only a teenager.

On the contrary, most people whose eyes met his would immediately be intimidated by his threatening presence.

An F6-tier ancient warrior.

After waving down a taxi, he brought Bai Li to a marketplace where she was given total freedom to pick whichever item she wanted. It was then that Qin Feng picked up Chen Ming’s communicator.

However, there was a password set on the communicator. Luckily, Qin Feng understood Chen Ming inside-out, and after three failed attempts, he unlocked it on his fourth try.

“Liang Kan!”

It did not take long for Qin Feng to find this name.

However, to avoid alerting said person, he refrained from immediately dialling his number and instead, quickly noted down the number.

Qin Feng switched on his own communicator and connected to the battle net, on which he looked for a secret web page.

“Secret door!”

Secret door was a special intelligence agency who, given the right price, would be more than willing to sell any information that you were looking for. They also kept their secrets well-guarded, making them more secure than any other agency.

Qin Feng handed them Liang Kan’s name and the number of his communicator. He then stated that he needed a simple overview on the individual before paying forth a million yuan.

To buy such information with one million yuan was way overkill. In fact, so long as the person remained in Chengyang, Qin Feng could discover way more information about Liang Kan for free if he were to put in a small bit of effort.

However, he did not wish to go down a rabbit hole which he felt was inevitable and what was more, he did not have too much time to spare at the moment.

After merely half an hour, the information he seeked was sent over.

“Liang Kan—28 years old—E-tier ancient warrior—Second-in-command of the external patrol unit of Chengyang colony!”

“Liang Kan’s photo!”

“Joined Chengyang colony three years ago…”

More and more information about the man appeared below but Qin Feng’s eyes were locked onto one of the photos provided.

It showed a close-up of Liang Kan posing during a training session. It must have been a scorching day when the photo was taken as glistening sweat could be seen covering his body. The sweat however, had made the weird tattoos around his neck even more obvious.

Qin Feng stared at these tattoos for a while.

“They look so familiar. I must have seen it somewhere in the past!”

Qin Feng shut his eyes and went searching through his memories. His consciousness was spinning rapidly, like the gears on a train. Memories flashed through his mind like a film reel, moving at near light speed but everything appeared to him, as clear as crystal.

Finally, a scene floated into Qin Feng’s mind.

It was before his rebirth, when he was around eighteen years old. At that time, he had already reached F5-tier as an aptitude user. He was wandering around Fu City when he encountered the infamous Black Python Organization.

Of course, back then, the organisation was in its infancy stage with only around a hundred members or so. They were made up completely by mutants, none were aptitude users.

They mainly operated by ransacking caravans and robbing logistic convoys. By sheer coincidence, Qin Feng was working as a guard for one of the targeted caravans. After receiving return fire from the caravan, they retreated back where they came from. One of the guys who went for Qin Feng’s position was killed on the spot and had tattoos that looked just like the one in the photo right now.

Obviously that man was not Liang Kan.

“Still, could it be possible that there’s a connection between them?”

Somehow, Qin Feng felt that this was merely the tip of a colossal iceberg; he would be facing more chaos and confusion in the near future.
