He opened the backpack.
Inside were six heavy pieces of Black Gold.
Beside the Black Gold, there was also a note and a set of keys.
This was given to Lu Xun by Old Octopus outside the airport.
The keys naturally belong to Old Octopus's home.
The note listed a long inventory—

"Damn, you can't even bear to throw away an old chopping board and want to give it away to someone, Old Octopus must be crazy!"
Lu Xun couldn't help but complain.
This guy listed all his old furniture, decorations, appliances... even several pet cats in the inventory.
He wanted Lu Xun to help mail them to his acquaintances, friends.
Sending cats is understandable, but who wants those useless junk?
Fortunately, technology is advanced now, and courier companies have delivery drones and loading robots.
Old Octopus had already made arrangements with the courier company in advance.
He didn't need to do it himself.
Just go over and open the door, wait for the courier company to arrive, and they can pack and send everything in just ten minutes.
"Let's end it early, put an end to everything."
Lu Xun reluctantly got up, put on the backpack, and went downstairs.
He negotiated with the staff at the hotel front desk on the first floor, paid some money for accidentally damaging the floor.
Then he prepared a disguise, hailed a cab, and headed to Old Octopus's house.
...
A standalone three-story small building, relatively remote location.
Surrounded by walls, there was a small courtyard inside.
This was the ancestral house of Old Octopus, passed down for several generations, unfortunately, it will not be passed down anymore.
Lu Xun took out the keys, opened the large iron gate on the outside, and went inside.
Through the courtyard, he came to the front of the main building and inserted the key into the lock again, giving it a gentle twist.
"Ka—"
The door opened.
Lu Xun entered the room and the next instant, his nose caught the scent of blood, his complexion changed slightly.
His eyes quickly scanned the room, and soon he saw two cats in the corner not far away, one blue and one black.
To be precise, it was the corpses of cats!
They seemed to have been dismembered by sharp objects, died a gruesome death, and their blood had stained the carpet red.
'Who killed the cats of Old Octopus's house? How insane!'
'No, this is not the main source of the blood scent!'
Lu Xun's pupils contracted violently, and he suddenly raised his head to look upstairs.
Someone had arrived before him, had come here ahead of him.
'If it was a patrol officer investigating the slaughterhouse fire, it's unlikely they would break into someone's house directly, let alone kill their cats!'
'The intruder is the mysterious force pursuing the masked man!'
At this point, the first thought in Lu Xun's mind was to withdraw!
All traces of the illegal clinic had already been erased, and Old Octopus had flown away from Jinghai City.
He had completely detached himself from this matter and did not want to get involved again.
But the scent of blood from upstairs gave Lu Xun an extremely ominous feeling!
If he didn't go upstairs to take a look, he might regret it for the rest of his life!
"Damn it, hope it's not what I think."
Lu Xun gritted his teeth, slowly placed his backpack down, and then stealthily proceeded upstairs.
Following the scent of blood, he reached the third floor.
A bedroom door was open, the lighting was dim.
Blood was flowing out from inside to the outside of the door.
"Squeak~ squeak~"
A strange noise sounded, something was moving inside, accompanied by the screeching sound of twisting a metal lid.
Suddenly, Lu Xun smelled the pungent odor of gasoline!
'Are they going to set fire to the house?'
He realized this, and then dashed inside, agilely, entering the room in a few steps.
The sight in front of him shocked Lu Xun to the core.
A corpse lay on the ground, blood flowing everywhere, eight mechanical "tentacles" severed by sharp objects, scattered all around.
No words could describe the horror in his heart at this moment!
Because the deceased was clearly Old Octopus!!
A robot with mechanical structure stood by the corpse, it had humanoid limbs and torso, a cone-shaped head.
At this moment, it was holding a bucket of gasoline, making a motion as if ready to pour.
Upon hearing the noise, it stopped, slowly turned its mechanical head, and looked towards Lu Xun standing at the door with glowing green eyes.
"...Witness detected...Action exposed...Initiating combat mode..."
"...Annihilate...Annihilate!"
As the intermittent mechanical sound rang, the eyes on its cone-shaped head suddenly turned a dangerous red.
The next moment, the robot dropped the gasoline bucket, with a "zing," two blades over a meter long shot out from its arms, gleaming coldly.
Its mechanical legs sprang like a spring, rushing towards Lu Xun!
Whoosh!!
The blades broke through the air.
The speed was incredibly fast.
In the moment of life and death, Lu Xun's breath halted, adrenaline surged wildly, there was no time to think about anything else.
He instinctively leaned back, the blade's light brushed past his eyelashes, narrowly avoiding the terrifying attack.
But as if the robot had calculated his reaction, while cutting with one blade, it immediately followed with an extremely fierce spin kick, hitting Lu Xun's abdomen.
Bam!
With a muffled sound, he was kicked six or seven meters away, his body like a broken kite, crashing heavily into a pile of debris, buried by it.
"Annihilate...Annihilate!"
The robot repeated its command while rapidly approaching the debris pile, raising its blade ready to stab.
Boom!
Suddenly, a giant hand emerged abruptly, like squeezing an apple, the thick fingers closed tightly, grabbing the robot's head.
"Die!!!"
A two-meter tall muscle giant roared, lifting the hundreds of kilograms heavy robot with one hand and smashing it onto the ground, creating a deafening thud!
The concrete floor was deeply dented by the impact, multiple structures of the robot got damaged, sparks flew.
Lu Xun had transformed at some point, explosively raised muscle groups protruded, back fascia fibers stretched, stacked muscles formed a grimace...
The towering body burst open his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts still intact.
With red horns on his head, blue-faced and tusked, the sense of oppression was intense!
After knocking down the robot, he lifted his big foot and stomped down hard.
Boom!
The floor couldn't bear it anymore, collapsing in a large section directly.
Both sides fell to the second floor, and then smashed through the second floor, falling to the first floor.
Dust rose, thick gray scattered.
The robot broke into two parts from the waist, with electrical cables exposed in the abdomen, sparks scattered.
"Annihilate! Anni..."
It dragged its upper half with its left hand, its right arm fiercely swung the knife at Lu Xun's chest.
Only to hear a "clang," its alloy combat knife was bounced off by the strong chest muscles!
"What's with the annihilate thing! Die for me!"
Lu Xun roared, punching its cone-shaped head hard.
The alloy head immediately sank into the ground, deformed, making a sickening sound of metal twisting and lamenting.
Boom!
Another punch, the head instantly shattered.
Metal shards and various components scattered everywhere.
The robot finally stopped moving.
To prevent it from coming back to life, Lu Xun continued smashing with several more punches, also crushing its body and arms.
"Breaking into the house and killing someone is bad enough, you didn't even spare the cats."
He looked at the two dismembered cats in the distance, and simply wrecked the robot's hard drive, chips, motherboard, and all those parts!
With the enemy dealt with.
Only then did Lu Xun's anger subside slightly, calming down a bit.
At the same time, a huge question emerged in his mind—
Why was Old Octopus dead here?!
He had already flown away, Lu Xun had personally watched him leave with binoculars!
'Could I be mistaken? Perhaps the deceased isn't Old Octopus?'
Harboring a glimmer of hope, he decided to go upstairs and take another look.
