“Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, after Nico’s incident, your identity would have been exposed and your ending would have been very miserable.”
Wei Yanping’s lips moved as if he was not convinced and wanted to refute Ning Shi.
Ning Shi smiled and said, “Your plan was very thorough. However, you missed out on the most important part. You misjudged Nico’s ability.”
“You don’t understand how powerful the hot shots are. Nico will definitely be able to return to the academy safely and point out Wang Fu’s identity as a spy. You will also be implicated because you are protecting Wang Fu.”
Seeing that Wei Yanping was still skeptical, Ning Shi did not continue to explain. Instead, he asked, “Wang Fu doesn’t know your identity, does he?”
If Wang Fu knew about Wei Yanping’s identity, then he had to get rid of Wang Fu immediately.
Wei Yanping shook his head. “I don’t know. Only the Marquis of Blackbox and the Count of Golden Mountain know my identity.”
“That’s good. Go ahead and do your own things.”
After Wei Yanping left, Ning Shi turned off the lights in his dormitory and left under the cover of the night.
After activating shapeless phantom stealth for a while, Ning Shi took out his Hell Bike and arrived at the entrance of the underground tunnel of Dongpo Ridge.
The entrance to the secret passage was in a pile of rocks. Ning Shi followed the password provided by Wei Yanping and rotated a small rock several times. Then, a larger rock moved away automatically.
It revealed a deep black hole under the rock.
Ning Shi didn’t hesitate and jumped into the black hole. After he went in, the stone returned to its original position and covered the hole.
Ning Shi slid down for about twenty meters before he finally touched the ground.
The tunnel inside the cave was relatively narrow, and the road was covered with all kinds of stones. Transportation could not be used, so they could only walk. Moreover, the dark tunnel was very dark. Even with lighting equipment, visibility was not high.
This was good news. Nico and the others would not be able to pass through this secret passage very quickly.
However, Ning Shi was different. With his physique and night vision, he traveled through the secret passage at an extremely fast speed. After traveling for about ten minutes, Ning Shi saw a corpse in the secret passage ahead.
He walked closer and saw a middle-aged man who was trying to dress up.
The man’s muscles bulged like hard rocks. Even though he was dead, Ning Shi could still feel the power emanating from his body.
With this kind of attire and body shape, one could tell that he was a traditional fighter.
He was probably one of the members of the gang who captured Nico.
Ning Shi turned the man’s body around and saw that the back of his head was a bloody mess. There was a very deep bloody hole. He also saw a stone in the shape of a bamboo shoot next to him. The stone was stained with blood.
Ning Shi immediately understood that this person must have slipped and fallen. The back of his head hit the stone shaped like the tip of a bamboo shoot, and he died instantly.
Ning Shi examined the stone and found that it was actually an extremely rare sharp gold stone. This kind of stone was famous for being hard and sharp, and its value was extremely high. It had the title of mining machine killer.
Ordinary mining machines would be broken or cut off by this stone when they came into contact with the sharp gold stone.
This traditional fighter was just so unlucky. He stepped on a stone and slipped. The back of his head happened to hit the sharp metal stone and he died.
All of this seemed to be a coincidence, but Ning Shi knew that this was the great power of Nico’s ability to dispel bad luck.
The people who followed Nico would end up inexplicably unlucky. In serious cases, their lives would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Ning Shi’s nose was still faintly hurting. The memory of him crashing into the window was still vivid in his mind.
Ning Shi had never been worried about Nico’s safety because he knew that he was an unexpected guest to the Titanium Pole World.
If Ning Shi had not come to the Titanium Pole World, Nico would still have been betrayed by Wang Fu and would have experienced the crisis of being captured. However, Nico would definitely have been able to turn the tables.
Nico definitely had some trump cards and abilities that Ning Shi did not know about. Bad luck was only one of them.
Otherwise, with Nico’s intelligence, even though he cared about Wang Fu’s safety, he would not be so stupid as to let the enemy manipulate him.
