The Road To Slaying God: Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25: A REAL KILLER VISITS

The book not only consisted the family’s household but also the detailed information of the family members and characteristics, and even the records of the relatives and close friends of these households. The people would come frequently and stay for a long time inside. The most shocking thing for Zhang Yang was that inside the book, there were actually indicated about the people of respective fields and their influence in those areas, who had to be immediately informed …

Turning over to the second half, Zhang Yang was stunned. There were a hundred or more household in the alley and to his surprise this second half section consisted of the all the floating population inside the alley, including scavengers, selling vegetables and so on … all of them were recorded clearly.

Looking at this thick data, Zhang Yang could not help but look towards Xiao Yuanxing with respect. The amount of  manpower and material resources needed to gather such complete information was simply unimaginable.

In the end, what kind of organization is this?

Zhang Yang looked at the bookshop owner who was pretending to be concentrated in arranging the old worn out books, clearly, the owner was in charge of this alley except that he did not know what his specific work was?

“Young man, what is it?”

“Ah … no …. …” as the bookstore owner suddenly raised his head, with the lens shining, Zhang Yang startled and jumped.

“Do your own thing, you only have a week to look at these information.” The bookstore owner lowered his head.

“Oh.”

Zhang Yang once again strongly felt that the owner with glasses looked just like the librarian at the school. The only difference was their gender.

The information were certainly very important, a week, so he has a week to remember this account information, and then contrast these data to monitor the alley which was undoubtedly a difficult task for an ordinary person.

Zhang Yang suddenly understood why Liu Biao could not find any men. It can be reckoned that whoever sees that thick account book will certainly have a headache.

“Can I leave here after this week?” Zhang Yang asked.

The bookstore owner raised his head in astonishment, his pair of eyes tightly pegged on Zhang yang. Zhang Yang felt a cold breath spread in the midst of the air, he couldn’t understand why this feeling evolved but this sensation was absolutely real.

“Cough … cough … I just wanted to look inside the alley, to be familiar with … …”

“Yes you can.”

The bookstore owner’s eyes relaxed as he said in a faint voice.

“Thank You.”

The owner’s voice faded as Zhang Yang had already run out just like a streak of smoke. The shop owner was surprised for a moment to see that the resident information book was still on the table. His face could not help but throw a trace of sneer, and without a hitch he grabbed the residence booklet and put it away.

The alley extended up to more than two hundred meters, it seemed to be a straight line in distance, but in fact, in the middle there were a few curves which were extremely ingenious. Exactly a car was unable to enter the alley in addition to a several obstacles which made it incapable of adding motorcycles and bicycles.

More than two hundred meter inside, after a small turn Zhang Yang had a sudden feeling that the surface area inside was not that small. There were rows of bungalows and some children and women were playing in front of the houses in the sun.

Just when Zhang Yang entered inside, at first glance he saw a two-storied building, which was the only two storied building at that place. The building was located behind a row of crowded houses. Zhang Yang guessed that the casino was there, because, he saw that the periphery had several pairs of vigilant eyes.

Zhang Yang was strolling for more than an hour now. Although the area inside the small alley was very large, there was but only one passage of getting out, except from the alley’s entrance, no one would be able to get out.

Zhang Yang wandered inside the alley until noon, then he came out and returned to the bookstore panting.

“There’s a piece of bread and also a bottle of mineral water.” The bookstore owner saw Zhang Yang return and pointed his fingers towards the bookshelf above.

“He he! I just happen to be hungry.” Zhang Yang smiled obsequiously.

“This is only the first time and also the last time, and it won’t be repeated. I’m not here to provide free meals.” The owner didn’t even lift head as he speak.

“Oh … oh.”

Zhang Yang finished the bread in just three mouthful to look at the time. He looked at the owner sitting on a chair from the book shelf and reading a fictional book as he was totally engrossed in reading. It seemed that he had nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

“Boss, My surname is Zhang, and other people call me Zhang Yang, Can I know your name?” Zhang Yang turned a few pages but couldn’t find anything interesting so he put the book back to the shelf. He couldn’t find any other words as he looked for something to talk about.

“Call me Lao Li.” The bookstore’s owner shifted his eyes but still did not raise his head.

“Oh … Lao Li … …. Can this bookstore even support to feed people? Evidently, it seems that the business is not that good.” Zhang Yang glanced at the dilapidated old books above the shelves, it was clear that this bookstore couldn’t keep up with the internet. So, there should be no business.

“I’m not short on money. I’m waiting for a man here.”

“Who?”

“You won’t understand.” Lao Li with a desolate expression on his face.

“ … … Lao Li, Song Tao’s here. I’ll get going now.”

Zhang Yang saw Song Tao sadly walked in, he immediately stood up and greeted Song Tao before escaping that place. The house was just like a coffin, generally lifeless. Zhang Yang did not like the atmosphere there, and Lao Li also seemed to be uninterested to talk.

Zhang had bought folders and papers from the bookstore right away as now he had to do one important thing. After seeing the residence booklet, Zhang Yang had a thought that Liu Biao simply couldn’t remember all of the information in a short period of one week, not to mention memorizing everyone who are familiar to the alley. As Liu Biao’s friend Zhang Yang wanted to re- order the information in a new residence booklet for easy memory.

…………

“Dong Dong ...”

Zhang Yang was pretty busy when suddenly he heard several gentle knock on the door. This made him feel very strange, as you know, they have keys inside the dormitory and more importantly, currently the door is ajar. A gentle push should open the door so who would still need to knock on the door?

“Dong .. Dong “ The sound of knocking on the door still continued. Although the sound was very low, Zhang Yang didn’t know why but he heard a rhythm in the sound with a hint of firm implication. It seemed that the person outside was unlikely to leave even if no-one responded to the door.

“Come In!” Zhang Yang had no choice.

“ZHANG YANG!!”

The door had just opened when a voice full of anger was heard which terribly scared Zhang Yang that he basically jumped on the bed like a spring.

“You … What on  earth… you doing?”  Zhang Yang stammered as he looked at the doorway, it was Xiao Yiran.
