Chapter 392: Scavenger’s Manual
Chapter 392: Scavenger’s Manual
The two of them quickly swept up all the valuable items, ran to a hidden spot, took cover, and began taking inventory.At this moment, the Cleaner in his twenties sniffed the air with a somewhat disdainful expression and said,
"Hey, have you been smoking? This is a mountain forest, be careful not to start a fire."
The Cleaner in his thirties said, "It wasn't me. Have you ever seen me smoke while on a mission?"
The Cleaner in his twenties was very puzzled. "If it's not you, then who is it?"
It was already early morning now.
Therefore, visibility was still decent.
He then saw what seemed like a tall, dark shadow looming over him from behind.
A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
He slowly turned his head.
And saw a black leather belt.
This belt was worn on the outside, clearly expensive at a glance.
And he had only seen this belt on one person.
That was the Platoon Leader who had led several squads today.
Sure enough, when he looked up again, he could see the Platoon Leader looking down at them, a cigar in his mouth.
The Cleaner in his thirties also noticed the Platoon Leader.
He was shocked. How was this Platoon Leader like a ghost?
Appearing right behind them without making a single sound?
Of course, he didn't dare say to his superior's face, "Are you a ghost?"
He stammered, "P... Platoon Leader..."
The Platoon Leader held the cigar in his mouth, his eyes coldly sweeping over the two men with their humble expressions and the hidden items like phones behind their backs.
The Platoon Leader spoke. His voice, like his appearance, was steady, carrying an indescribable sense of indifference:
"The Cleaner Handbook. It seems you two have forgotten it? What is Article 99?"
The Cleaner Team Member in his twenties immediately said fearfully, "When... when tidying the... the scene, one must not steal... or privately conceal the belongings of the deceased..."
After speaking.
The two Cleaner Team Members immediately kowtowed to the Platoon Leader, admitting their mistake. "We're sorry! We're sorry!"
"Platoon Leader! Please spare us this once!"
"This is our first offense!"
The two of them kowtowed, their heads hitting the ground louder than anyone else's.
Right at that moment, neither of them noticed the silenced black pistol that had somehow appeared in the Platoon Leader's hand.
That pistol fired two bullets.
One each, fair and square, both headshots.
After being shot, the two men fell to the side.
They would never get up again.
"First offense? I'd say it's the first time I caught you. Who knows how many times you've done this before."
This Platoon Leader continued smoking his cigar, then took out his phone and called other Cleaners to come clean up the area.
Soon, four Cleaners arrived.
These four Cleaners, upon seeing the bodies of the two Cleaners, all showed fear on their faces. Because none of them knew what had happened. How did teammates die?
The Platoon Leader said, "These two violated the Cleaner Handbook by stealing and concealing the deceased's property. They have been executed by firing squad."
With that, the Platoon Leader strode away, leaving behind the four now-enlightened men.
The Platoon Leader strode over to the campsite.
By now, over a dozen Cleaners had already begun collecting the bodies and packing up the tents.
They were going to clean up everything from this campsite.
Including the bloodstains that had seeped into the soil.
They wanted to make it seem as if nothing had ever happened here.
At this moment, a Cleaner Team Leader walked over to the Platoon Leader who was smoking his cigar and requested instructions:
"Platoon Leader, the Desk Cleaners handling the handover with us are asking how we should deal with the disappearance of these people, and the police report?"
Hearing this, the Platoon Leader seemed somewhat impatient. "Isn't that something for those Desk people to consider? Why ask me?"
This Team Leader chuckled nervously, playing along. "It seems to be a new regulation. They also need us on-site personnel to propose a solution."
The Platoon Leader rubbed his neck with his left hand.
His left hand was covered in calluses, and besides that, his palm was very large.
It looked extremely powerful, with a strong grip.
He said, "For the people who died in 'I Want to Be the Treasure King,' make it that they came to Qingfeng Mountain for tourism and were killed by wild beasts."
"As for these university classmates, the outsiders who came hiking, also make it that they came for tourism, encountered wild beasts, and suffered varying degrees of casualties."
"As for the police report filed by that outsider, let the Desk side handle contacting and resolving it themselves."
The Team Leader noted this down, then walked to the side, took out his phone, and began contacting the Desk side.
The Platoon Leader held the cigar between the fingers of his left hand, exhaling a long stream of smoke from his mouth.
This stream of smoke was instantly scattered and vanished without a trace by the cold morning wind on the mountain.
He lowered his head again, staring at the bodies the Cleaner Team Members were currently collecting.
He murmured to himself, "The poor will always be slaves to the rich."
"Including me."
...
The timeline returns to when the alternate personality was in control of the body and was shot to death by Liu Sha.
After being shot.
The alternate personality returned to the inner landscape world.
This alternate personality who returned to the inner landscape world.
Had the same appearance and build as Jiang Ran.
But what was extremely different from the other alternate personalities, who were all highly distinctive,
Was that his attire was very ordinary, just like the normal Jiang Ran.
However, the one thing that allowed you to distinguish the two at a glance was that
Their auras were completely different.
Jiang Ran was just a very normal, ordinary person, a handsome guy.
But this Jiang Ran's eyes revealed a lifeless, deathly feeling.
The overall feeling he gave off was like he had just come out of a graveyard, or a funeral home.
It didn't feel like a living person.
It felt like a corpse.
The Dead Jiang Ran appeared in the inner landscape world, still in that same old place, by the fountain statue.
As soon as he appeared.
All dozen or so alternate personalities originally in this area immediately started backing away.
Maintaining an absolute safe distance from the Dead Jiang Ran before them.
Among them were the blue-haired Jiang Ran, the Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran, the Noble Jiang Ran, and the Sissy Jiang Ran.
These alternate personalities weren't exactly afraid of this Dead Jiang Ran.
But they were cautious, careful.
These individuals had all set aside their usual attitudes and were looking at the Dead Jiang Ran before them as if he were an enemy.
Dead Jiang Ran was also one of the six slumbering alternate personalities.
Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran, Noble Jiang Ran, Dead Jiang Ran.
Currently, three of the slumbering alternate personalities had awakened.
Correspondingly, because Jiang Ran had been taking medication continuously,
The yin-yang balance was maintained.
The other alternate personalities would be forcibly pulled into slumber due to their awakening.
Moreover, the awakening of one of them would cause several other alternate personalities to fall into slumber.
"You could clearly have dodged those arrows. Why didn't you?"
At this moment, the blue-haired Jiang Ran questioned the Dead Jiang Ran.
He had warned the Dead Jiang Ran when Liu Sha fired the arrows to ambush Wilderness Brother.
Therefore, there was no reason for the Dead Jiang Ran to be unable to dodge the subsequent arrows.
Yet, this guy didn't dodge at all.
He must have had some scheme.
After all, this guy was pure, unadulterated psychosis.
No one knew what he was thinking from one moment to the next.
