Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed
Chapter 607: Leak of Secrets
This modern bow possessed everything a modern bow should have, making it the best-configured modern bow Good Person Jiang Ran had discovered in Ding Dali's apartment.
Especially since this modern bow even had a quick-detach arrow quiver.
Actually, calling this type of bow a 'modern bow' is a bit inaccurate; its true name should be the modern compound bow.
Good Person Jiang Ran, now holding this modern compound bow, was extremely fond of it.
Then, in Ding Dali's apartment, he switched to a maximum-capacity back-mounted quiver.
He filled this quiver with arrows.
Of course, the arrows weren't all of the same type; he took a few of this kind and a few of that kind.
At the moment, Good Person Jiang Ran stared at his own outfit and laughed heartily, "From now on, I am the lone wolf in the forest, the world's greatest hunter."
"If those few people don't find out who the scum throwing objects from high altitude is before 12 o'clock tonight, they will become my prey."
Good Person Jiang Ran assembled this outfit precisely for the night's hunt.
The hunt for Yang Kang, Jia Tao, and others who weren't properly completing their tasks.
Of course, if they really did find that person, then Good Person Jiang Ran would keep his word and absolutely would not lay a hand on them. After all, his personal disposition wasn't the type that particularly enjoyed slaughtering the innocent.
Just as Good Person Jiang Ran was fiddling with the modern compound bow, his phone suddenly rang.
The phone in his right pants pocket buzzed incessantly, annoying Good Person Jiang Ran. He didn't know who was calling him at this time.
He answered the phone and asked.
"Who is it?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Is that Jiang Ran? It's me, Yang Kang."
"Oh, it's Yang Kang. Why are you calling me at this time? Could it be you've already found that person who threw the object from high altitude? Not bad, not bad, your efficiency is higher than I imagined. But if you dare to fool me by picking someone at random, you should know the consequences."
"No, we haven't found that person yet, it's not that easy to find."
"Hmm? Haven't found the person? Then why are you calling me? Could it be to beg for mercy? To beg me to let you off?"
"Of course not. I'm calling you about something extremely, extremely important, something that concerns your life and death. I believe you'll be very grateful to me after hearing what I have to say."
"Something that concerns my life and death? What is it? Tell me."
"Before I say it, I want you to give me a guarantee. If what I tell you matters a great deal to you, then the death threat about us finding someone, concerning me, Wang Zhong, and the other four of us, will be rescinded. How about it?"
"No problem, go ahead. If this matter truly is something I care deeply about, something concerning my life and death, of course I can withdraw the so-called death threat from before."
"Alright, then I'll tell you. Previously, when you asked us to find someone, besides the four of us, you also asked Jia Tao to find someone."
"Jia Tao probably didn't look for anyone. He told this matter to someone called The Artist."
"This Artist is the boss of a criminal group within Alice Apartment. He has at least thirty or forty subordinates, all of them deranged criminals, deranged serial killers. In short, they are all murderous perverts steeped in evil."
"Now, because of your previous death threat to Jia Tao, this Artist has decided to mobilize the entire group's strength to encircle and hunt you, to hunt you down."
On the other end of the phone, a string of words initially made Good Person Jiang Ran's face, which had been listening with interest, gradually turn calm. After the calm, it became extremely dark and gloomy.
The Artist? This Artist person, he seemed to have no idea who that was at all.
However, having always stayed within the inner landscape world, he often observed the outside situation and also knew that there seemed to be groups within this apartment. But they were just those few groups wearing the white ghost-face mask outfits, at most a handful of people, right?
A criminal group of thirty or forty people all at once, wasn't that too exaggerated?
"How do you know about this?"
Good Person Jiang Ran asked.
On the other end of the line: "Because The Artist also invited the few of us to participate in their encirclement and hunt operation against you, figuring more people means more strength."
Good Person Jiang Ran: "In that case, what is their action plan?"
On the other end: "The action plan is simple. They've all scattered now, searching for your location, trying to pinpoint your position."
"Once they confirm your position, thirty or forty people will launch an attack on you together."
"It's essentially a human-wave gang-up tactic."
Good Person Jiang Ran fell silent, not speaking for a long time. ๐ป๐๐๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ท๐โด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธโด๐ฎ
After a long while, he replied to the other end of the line.
"Alright, I know. If this matter is true, then my death threat about you finding someone is hereby rescinded. But if it's false, you'd better weigh the consequences carefully yourselves."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely true. We wouldn't joke with our own lives."
After exchanging a few more words, both sides hung up the phone.
On Yang Kang's side, after the meeting in Building No. 1, Yang Kang and the others returned to Room 501, Building No. 2.
After returning to Room 501, Building No. 2, they began to ponder this matter. After pondering for quite a while, they decided to play the role of double agents.
The idea of being double agents was proposed by Yang Kang. Wang Zhong was the first to agree after hearing it. The remaining two, Kong Haoxia and his influencer girlfriend, somewhat confusedly agreed as well.
So Yang Kang made that call to Good Person Jiang Ran.
Even though he felt that making such a call to Good Person Jiang Ran only served as an early warning, perhaps still unable to change his fate.
After all, The Artist's side simply had too many people; they were numerous and powerful.
But being able to make Good Person Jiang Ran and The Artist's group fight each other like dogs, wasting each other's time and delaying things, was advantageous for them.
Best case scenario, this delay would last until the end of the week, and they could leave.
If they didn't warn Good Person Jiang Ran, letting him die early, he was truly afraid that The Artist's group wouldn't keep their word and would focus their energy on them, delivering them despair.
Yang Kang wasn't unwilling to believe The Artist's words.
It's just that, a person who could live in Alice Apartment.
Who knows what kind of sins they have committed.
Do you really dare to completely believe the words spoken by such a person?
Not to mention someone like The Artist; even in the outside world, when Yang Kang received certain promises from ordinary people outside, he didn't dare to believe them completely.
Because in this world, the kind of people who value promises and vows extremely highly and would not break them.
Are not too many.
'A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold' is just an ancient story.
So, him calling Good Person Jiang Ran was simply laying down a precautionary move for himself in advance.
