Chapter 17 Mission
Chapter 17 Mission
Late at night, at the residence of Mr. Wu in the west of the city.
Lin Shan poked a hole in the window paper of the wing room, peeked in and saw a middle-aged fat man sleeping soundly inside, and next to him should be his wife.
After waiting for a while, he felt no more movement, so he quietly opened the door and slipped in, knocked the fat man on the bed unconscious, and carried him to the yard outside the house. There happened to be a well in the yard, with buckets and ladles beside the well.
A bucket of cold water was poured on him, and the fat man shuddered. Before he could shout, a long knife was already placed on his neck.
"Keep your voice down. I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them."
A cold voice came from the side, and Mr. Wu, who had just been poured with cold water, suddenly felt his mind startled and he immediately became more sober.
He did not dare to look up. He was not sure whether the assassin had a face mask or not. After all, he knew the rules of the underworld. If he did not see the assassin's face, he might still be alive. If he saw it, he would surely die. So he nodded gently in cooperation.
"Do you know about the Yelang Tomb?"
"I know"
"You're the first one to notice it, right?"
"My men discovered it."
"What did you take out of there?"
"Buddha statue, golden bell."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
The knife pressed against his neck again, and Mr. Wu felt something warm flowing down.
"Really gone?"
"It's really gone! I can ask someone down there to tell you in detail."
Mr. Wu was so anxious that he almost cried.
Lin Shan still didn't get anything out of him after threatening him, and his face turned cold: "Call everyone who has been into the ancient tomb. I'll be watching you from behind. Don't play any tricks!"
For the sake of ancient charm, Lin Shan naturally would not miss any details.
……
After a while, in addition to the naked Wu Yuanwai, Lin Shan with a knife at his neck, there were five shirtless men standing side by side in the yard.
The five people were all fast asleep when Wu Yuanwai came in and shook them awake, telling them not to make any noise. Then he led them to the yard one by one, only to find a killer in black standing there coldly, holding a big knife and waiting for them.
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Shan didn't waste any words: "Besides the golden bell Buddha statue, what else did you take out of the ancient tomb?"
"Nothing."
"Gone."
"Gone."
...
No matter how the five people asked, they all said there was only the golden bell and the Buddha statue.
"Is it true that only these two things were taken out from such a huge Yelang Tomb?" Lin Shan glanced back and forth between Mr. Wu and the five people, wondering if they had already colluded with each other.
It was already five o'clock in the morning. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the moon was obscured. The atmosphere was terribly depressing.
Among the five people, there was a short, pockmarked, thin man who hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth slightly: "My dear hero, we did find a lot of things in the tomb, but we encountered a ghost when we left the tomb."
Speaking of this, the pockmarked thin man swallowed his saliva, and recalled with a look of palpitation,
"We were carrying the Buddha statue and the golden bell when a coffin suddenly opened and a ghost with a green face and fangs jumped out. In order to escape, we threw away all the other burial objects in the secret passage of the tomb, leaving only the black Buddha and the golden bell, which looked the most valuable."
"You said you saw that ghost coming out of the coffin?"
Lin Shan was shocked! Are there still zombies in this world?
"That's right!"
"real!"
“I saw it too!”…
The people in front of him all looked very confident, and the fear they showed did not seem fake.
"Later we came back and spread the news, hoping someone would help us find the way in, but...
Lin Shan could guess what was said even though he didn't finish the conversation.
The golden bell and Buddha statues brought back by these people were not ordinary items. After tasting the sweetness, they naturally didn't want to give up the other things thrown away in the tomb. So they encouraged the greedy people in the city to explore the tomb again and use them as cannon fodder.
If I die, it's all over. If I come back alive, I'll just rob the gangsters.
Lin Shan asked other questions, such as the identity of the Beijing nobleman who bought the giant black lotus Buddha statue. Wu Yuanwai also said he didn't know. The big shot just bought it with money and didn't leave any information.
Lin Shan interrogated them carefully again, and when he was sure that he could not get any other information, he knocked them all out and threw them in the yard, then he climbed over the wall and left.
I wonder what kind of associations Mr. Wu’s family would have when they see six men lying naked in the yard after dawn.
……
Half an hour later, Lin Shan arrived at "Jing'an Hall" in the north of the city, the Nightingale branch of Zangke City.
Walking into the first floor, the lobby was still crowded with people, and assassins in black were coming in and out of the various entrances and exits from time to time.
Lin Shan walked directly to a counter nearby: "I need all the information about the Yelang Tomb."
The intelligence officer behind the counter said expressionlessly: "Members below the level of Guardian can only check it if they accept relevant tasks."
Lin Shan "."
Turning around and walking to the center of the lobby, Lin Shan looked at the giant task screen hanging from the fourth floor. After searching for a while, he finally found five or six tasks related to the Yelang Tomb in the southeast corner:
"Investigate the identities of the missing persons in the Yelang Ancient Tomb, contribute 10 points."
"Investigate the strength of the ghosts in the Yelang Ancient Tomb and contribute 15 points."
"Retrieve the map lost in the Yelang Tomb, contribute 15 points."
……
It seems that even after a month, many people are still paying attention to the Yelang Ancient Tomb.
The tasks of these employers are even more varied. Some want to know who has been in there, some want to understand the strength of the ghosts, and some want to get the map of the tomb.
Lin Shan looked at the task panel, struggling in his heart whether to accept these tasks. After all, Wu Yuanwai's men had just described the horror and weirdness of the zombies in the coffin, and so many people who entered the ancient tomb disappeared like waves.
Do I, a loser who has just become a post-natal warrior, really have the ability to go in and complete the mission?
The rule of the Nightingale Organization is that once a killer accepts a mission, no one else can accept it before the mission deadline. But once you accept it, you must execute it!
Even if it fails, you have to execute it!
For example, if Lin Shan accepted the mission to explore the Yelang Ancient Tomb, he would have to at least go in once, either to complete the mission or to have evidence of having carried out the mission.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as breaking the rules and maliciously obstructing the progress of the mission, and you will be hunted down by the Nightingale organization.
At this time, the lobby was bustling with people. The killers passing by were busy with their own things and ignored Lin Shan who was standing in the middle for a while. The staff next to him were also not surprised.
Which killer doesn't live on the edge of a knife? They have seen many novices who hesitate and struggle in such situations.
……
After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, Lin Shan gritted his teeth and accepted it!
He had to buy the golden bell he saw during the day as soon as possible, otherwise someone else would get it first in a month or so, and he would miss out on the 8 points of ancient charm. And three thousand taels of gold was not something that could be accumulated day by day, and even if it was just a little bit, there was no time to rob the rich and help the poor.
The only way is to get rich overnight!
After all, the five ordinary people under Mr. Wu were able to escape, so as a warrior himself, he was not without a chance.
What's more, if we can find the burial objects they left behind when they escaped through the secret passage of the ancient tomb before the ghosts wake up, and obtain the ancient charm in advance, then we will have a better chance of survival.
Lin Shan arrived at the mission office and handed over his identity token, "I'll take mission number 75."
The Nightingale staff was quite professional and quickly handed him the identity token and a plate with the number "Seventy-five" engraved on it.
"Killer Xin Ershiyi, accept mission number 75, to investigate the identity of the missing persons in the Yelang Ancient Tomb within ten days."
Lin Shan turned around and walked to the intelligence department, handed the number 75 sign to the intelligence officer, who nodded and handed him a stack of information. Lin Shan found a window, jumped out and disappeared.
What he didn't notice was that after he left, a man in black walked out from the side, with a scar between his eyebrows faintly visible.
"Xin Ershiyi, you finally showed up!"
