Chapter 120 Arena
It's Monday again, and there's explosive news: the Seven Kills terrorist group launched an attack in three counties in Kyushu, Japan on Sunday night. The title doesn't seem explosive, but the content is very explosive. Unlike the Blue Enchantress tragedy, where the Seven Kills won, this time the Seven Kills suffered heavy losses. To be more precise, the Seven Kills fell into a big trap.

The Seven Killers attacked three targets. At 11pm, they attacked the research institute, the underground laboratory, and the marine climate research laboratory on the island near Kyushu at the same time. At first, the Seven Killers made smooth progress and quickly broke through the three targets, but when they entered the building, Guo Xing Bingci took command and mobilized the Japanese special police to surround the Seven Killers.

After a four-hour battle, the SWAT team took full control of the situation. According to the final statistics, the attack resulted in 57 deaths. The Seven Killers who participated in the attack paid a heavy price of 14 deaths, 4 serious injuries and arrests, and the entire team was annihilated.

Like Blue Enchantress, the Seven Killers who attacked this time wore two kinds of logos, one with an inverted cross and one without. Those with the logo are official members of the Seven Killers, and those without the logo are reserve members of the Seven Killers. After statistics, it was determined that the Seven Killers lost at least six main killers and one hellhound in this attack. The biggest gain was that the leader of the Seven Killers, nicknamed the Butler, was arrested and is currently being rescued in a Belgian hospital.

The Japanese police held a press conference at 9 am. At the press conference, Anderson, the leader of Ice Thorns, told reporters that the Seven Kills terrorist group had been destroyed and had lost its ability to move. Ice Thorns had a lot of information and was currently working closely with police from various countries to catch the fish that had slipped through the net.

The reporter asked if there was another killer still on the run from Qi Sha?
Anderson replied: It is not certain at the moment, because the emblems worn by three of the criminals were destroyed. In addition, there are indeed seven Seven Killers, but it is possible that new members have not yet been added. Anderson believes that even if the worst happens and there is still one Seven Killer on the run, it will not cause any waves. At present, Ice Thorn's main task is to chase the Hellhound.

Just before the press conference, two would-be Hellhounds were arrested.

Anderson explained that the housekeeper's name was Ruth, a 50-year-old Swedish woman who shot herself before being arrested and is currently being rescued.

A reporter asked whether the arrested seven murderers would receive a fair trial and whether Bingci would torture them to extract confessions during the interrogation.

Anderson replied: Of course not.

The reporter showed a video he had just received before attending the press conference. In the video, a plainclothes officer stopped the stretcher, pinched the injured person's wound with his hands, and forced him to tell the whereabouts of the hellhound.

Anderson didn't care much and replied: I can't be sure that the characters in the video are members of the Ice Thorns and Seven Kills Organization.

The reporter looked at his phone and said, "Mr. Anderson, when I received the video, I also received a message. The other party asked you to promise within 24 hours that you will treat all arrested Seven Killers in a legal manner and abide by your promise. You are required to severely punish the person who forced a confession in the video within 24 hours. Otherwise, all members of the Ice Spikes, whether retired or in office, will become legal targets of attack by the Seven Killers."

Reporter: "Can we say that Bingci used many illegal means in the process of handling the case, including but not limited to forced confession?"

Anderson did not answer immediately. Although the Seven Killers had fallen, there were still remnants. The Ice Spikes were not as good as those targets, and could only protect themselves. The Seven Killers' assassination was pervasive, and without the help of the command and the hellhound, it was possible that they would vent their anger on the Ice Spikes with weak defenses.

After thinking for a long time, Anderson replied: "I don't care about the threats of Qi Sha, but I can promise to treat all arrested Qi Sha personnel and any other criminals legally. At the same time, we will investigate the authenticity of the video. If there is any illegal behavior, he must be severely punished."

Cui Jian put down his phone and went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Today's lunch soup was pork offal cooked in rice soup, and there was also a dish of stir-fried vegetables and braised pork intestines. Cui Jian liked to eat large intestines, but he never ate them outside. He had to wash them himself before eating.

Ye Rannuo got up in a daze and went to the bathroom. She walked into the kitchen and looked for a while, then rubbed her eyes and left. She returned home in the early morning. Cui Jian came home yesterday, so Cui Jian bought the ingredients for lunch today.

Coming out of the bathroom, Ye Rannuo asked at the kitchen door: "Cui Jian, can we have someone else at noon? Sasa said she'd come over for dinner."

Cui Jian turned around and asked, "Who is Sasa?"

Ye Rannuo was very happy with this question, and answered with a smile on his face: "It's my friend."

Since there was no formal introduction, Cui Jian just greeted her even during the outing. In fact, today he knew her name was Sasa, but he might forget her name in a few days. Because Cui Jian didn't care what her name was, otherwise he would ask her what her surname was.

Since there were three people, Cui Jian decided to add a vegetarian dish.

"Hello." Cui Jian answered the phone.

Bai Qi: "Would you like to come out and practice boxing this afternoon?"

Cui Jian was a little confused: "Me and you?"

Bai Qi: "That's right, come out and practice. I'll send you the address."

Even though something big happened in the early morning, the earth still keeps moving as usual.

Before lunch, Sasa came, nodded to Cui Jian, looked at the dishes on the table, and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. Soon the meal was served.

The atmosphere was still the same, but Ye Rannuo and Sasa were interacting more. The two sat opposite Cui Jian and looked at the phone in Ye Rannuo's hand, whispering, "So young."

Cui Jian looked at the company's APP and asked casually: "What do you mean young?"

Ye Rannuo looked at Cui Jian: "Yesterday, terrorists attacked Kyushu in Japan, and many people died. Most of the attackers were young people in their twenties."

Cui Jian looked up at Ye Rannuo and asked, "You are talking about the Seven Kills, the same Seven Kills from Blue Enchantress."

Ye Rannuo smiled and said, "Now change the name to One Killed, or Not Killed."

Cui Jian still answered casually: "These people killed innocent people indiscriminately, they deserved it."

Sasa said, "There is indiscriminate killing, but not necessarily innocent people."

Cui Jian looked up at Sasa and said, "Where have I heard you say this before... I think Duanmu once said something like this."

"That Duanmu? She's very pretty." She obviously wanted to end the conversation with Cui Jian, pointing at her phone: "Aishashi is going to launch a limited edition winter earrings."

Ye Rannuo liked it at first sight: "This one is so beautiful."

Rushing fingers: "I like this one better, but it won't be available until three weeks later, so I won't be able to make it in time for the party next Sunday."

"You're going to participate? What about Xiao Bai?"

Sasa: ​​"There must be a driver."

Ye Rannuo smiled.

The two girls chatted, Cui Jian watched a short video, and finished lunch. After lunch, Cui Jian went to the sun room for a walk, still feeling uneasy. He took out his spare phone and saw a new message from the Five-Headed Dog. Because of a betrayal by a captured Quasi-Seven Killer, his instructor resisted stubbornly at the dock and was shot dead by the police on the spot. This traitor, like Cui Jian, was an apprentice of this instructor.

Cui Jian put away his phone, sat on the bench, lowered his head and took a deep breath, feeling a splitting headache.

Sasa appeared at the staircase and walked to the sun room on the other side to take care of the flowers and vegetables. She looked at Cui Jian and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Not bad." Cui Jian stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the scenery below. He wanted to contact Liu Sheng to ask about the instructor, but he also remembered the housekeeper's warning that it was only a matter of time before Liu Sheng was exposed, and he should never have any contact with him again. Maybe Bing Ci was next to Liu Sheng now.

Cui Jian squatted with his hands on the guardrail, and his head lightly hit the wall. He couldn't contact the five dogs, so he could only wait for them to contact him. Even though so many people died before, Cui Jian was still calm, but the death of the instructor made him feel pain for the first time in his life, and for the first time he felt that he still had sadness.

The instructor was the person closest to Cui Jian. Every bit of memory of those four years came to his mind, making his soul tremble.

Hearing the footsteps coming towards him, Cui Jian held onto the railing and did a few squats. He stood up, met Sasa's concerned gaze, nodded to her, and went downstairs.

……

After taking a nap, Cui Jian arrived at the fight club according to the location given by Bai Qi. After communicating with the front desk, Cui Jian was allowed to enter because of Bai Qi's instructions. There were eight rings in the club, and the people on the rings wore protective gear, either practicing or fighting.

There weren't many people in the club at this time, but there were still more than ten people standing by the ring. The protagonists of the ring were Bai Qi and Li Ran. Li Ran was strong and fierce, while Bai Qi was flexible and changeable. The difference between the two was not big. They fought back and forth, and kept provoking each other. As the third round began, Bai Qi's physical strength was greatly depleted. He couldn't withstand Li Ran's aggressive attacks and retreated repeatedly. His occasional counterattacks did not cause much damage to Li Ran.

Li Ran was even more unreasonable, playing a lose-lose game. If you want to defend, you can only be beaten. If you want to hit me, you have to take my punch first. However, Li Ran still suffered a loss. He didn't expect that his old acquaintance Bai Qi had a backhand and suddenly used Muay Thai. A few knee strikes made Li Ran put away his attitude of underestimating the enemy.

Facing the fierce Muay Thai, Li Ran started wrestling, kneeling you, hugging you and throwing you sideways. Li Ran's wrestling fighting skills are his trump card, integrating grappling, Jeet Kune Do, karate and the rare Barton technique.

In the fourth round, Bai Qi surrendered. Applause broke out from the audience. Duanmu's voice came: "Manager Li, are you willing to fight with me?"

Seeing Duanmu's eager expression, Li Ran said, "Go change your clothes first. Cui Jian, go to the front desk to go through the membership procedures and register under my name." Li Ran paid the membership fee.

Cui Jian did not refuse and went to the front desk to handle the formalities. He wrote Li Ran as the recommender and paid the membership fee himself. Just kidding, he is now a multi-millionaire. As long as he does not exchange Korean won into US dollars, he is a rich man.

Cui Jian bought some basic equipment at a small shop nearby, and went to the locker room to change his clothes. Bai Qi raised his hand and asked Cui Jian to sit over. He had already ordered a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for Cui Jian.

On the ring, Octopus Duanmu faced Li Ran, who was proficient in various fighting styles. The fight between the two was not exciting, at least not as eye-catching as the fist-to-flesh fight between Bai Qi and Li Ran. The two hugged each other and rolled on the ground, you grabbed my wrist and I grabbed your thigh. Since the two were only wearing fighting shorts, the scene was really a bit eye-catching.

Bai Qi praised: "Duanmu is very good at using softness to overcome hardness. Old Li likes to hit people and get hit vigorously. Today he has met his nemesis."

As he was talking, Li Ran used brute force to stand up, hugged Duanmu's back and tried to throw him down, but Duanmu wrapped his legs around Li Ran's waist, and the throw turned into a smash, and the two of them hit the ring together, making a loud noise. Then the two of them tangled together again.

Cui Jian had fought with Duanmu before, so he knew too well how Li Ran felt now that he was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it. Li Ran struggled to free his arm, but Duanmu continued to hold it. When he pulled out his thigh, it was immediately rolled up by Duanmu's thigh, causing Li Ran to roar in anger.

Bai Qi said: "Duanmu has a fatal weakness."

Cui Jian: “Oh?”

Bai Qi said: "The purpose of Duanmu's body lock technique is to control the opponent's explosive power. To break Duanmu's technique, you must have a short-range explosive move."

Cui Jian: "Inch punch?"

Bai Qi tilted his head and said something in Cui Jian's ear without comment. Cui Jian immediately smiled, stood up and said, "Manager Li, you take a rest first. I'll meet this octopus." After that, he went to the locker room and came back with a pair of fingerless boxing gloves.

Li Ran had already stepped down from the stage, and sat next to Bai Qi with an unhappy look on his face, complaining non-stop: "This is the first time I've seen such a shameless fighting technique."

Duanmu looked at Cui Jian in the audience with a smile and said provocatively: "Oh Huo, I haven't abused you for many years, right? Let me serve you well today."

Cui Jian stretched his body, pulled the rope to the ring and went on stage: "Today we will settle all the old and new accounts together."

They punched each other and retreated. The audience banged the gong. The two fought without any nonsense. Within 5 seconds, Duanmu came up and knocked Cui Jian down. The two rolled on the ground again. Then Duanmu screamed: "Ouch."

"Ouch, ouch, damn, you are such a shady guy, ouch, ouch..."

Duanmu seized the opportunity to break free, stood up and quickly retreated to the edge of the ring: "Don't come over here." His body was covered with bruises, all from being pinched. The parts that were pinched were either the tender flesh on the inside of the arms or the tender flesh on the inside of the thighs. The aggressiveness was almost non-existent, but it was painful.

Duanmu angrily accused Cui Jian: "How can you pinch someone in the ring?"

Cui Jian didn't care how Duanmu pestered him, he just pinched wherever his hands touched. You can lock my hands, but can you also lock my fingers?
Cui Jian raised his hands, pinched his thumb and index finger together to make a crab shape: "Come again."

"I'm not coming." If I want to come, I will have to wear thick clothes.

Duanmu left the court, and Bai Qi and Cui Jian started to practice. Cui Jian's moves seemed to be as aggressive as Li Ran's, but the aggressive moves were just an illusion, and he was actually very vicious. It was also Bai Qi's first time fighting with such a boxer, and he suffered a lot at the beginning. Li Ran reminded him that strength can defeat skill, so Bai Qi changed to Li Ran's aggressive style and fought Cui Jian head-on. Although Bai Qi suffered a little in terms of physical strength and power, Cui Jian did not take too much advantage.

Duanmu gave Cui Jian a bad idea: "Hold him and wrestle him."

Cui Jian is bigger and stronger than Bai Qi. After the wrestling, Bai Qi had to resist Cui Jian's 10kg weight advantage. Bai Qi was forced to pinch his flesh, but Cui Jian was not as good as Duanmu. Pinching flesh hurts, but Bai Qi was hit by a fist, so Bai Qi was obviously at a disadvantage.

Bai Qi was defeated and Li Ran came on the field.

In the fight between Li Ran and Cui Jian, Cui Jian was at a disadvantage, because Li Ran was really aggressive and Cui Jian had to parry or dodge, and could not find any chances to sneak attack. The two had similar attack power, but in terms of resistance to blows, Li Ran was much stronger than Cui Jian.

The four of them took turns fighting on the ring. More and more people gathered to watch, and several members who interrupted the fight were defeated in the first round.
