Speaking of it, it was Luo Pianju’s first time to ride this thing. She felt that human beings had amazing talents in the field called science and technology.
The high-speed railway train had a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour. It was a speed that many demon beasts couldn’t achieve. Such a train could at least carry hundreds of passengers. Again, it was something difficult for demon beasts to achieve.
Legend had it that there was the Kunpeng [1] with large wings among the ancient demon beast bloodlines. Probably it could easily carry more than hundreds of humans.
With the train compared with Kunpeng, Luo Pianju immediately felt the current disadvantage of the demon beast race. The scenery of the high-speed railway train deeply attracted this butterfly demon beast, who rode the high-speed rail for the first time.
Long Xiruo was actually quite rich. Otherwise, she couldn’t maintain a veterinary hospital. However, she typically didn’t leave the hospital, so Luo Pianju did not know that having them occupy the high-speed railway train first-class cabin entirely was luxurious. Of course, there were not many seats in the first-class cabin. For example, there were only five seats in this cabin.
Seeing Luo Pianju’s hands on the broken glass of the train window, her face almost stuck to the glass. She subconsciously raised her hips high out of excitement. Long Xiruo suddenly felt grateful that she had fully reserved the place.
At first, she just didn’t like to be in the same cabin with too many humans, so she didn’t choose the front row seats. But, the decision turned into a blessing now. Fortunately, no one else saw Luo Pianju in that way.
The True Dragon of Divine Land didn’t know where to hide her face. Thinking that the attendant would walk in and witness this scene, Long Xiruo found it unbearable. So she resolutely pressed Luo on Pianju’s buttocks and gave a hard slap.
Since Long Xiruo had a relatively smaller body size, it wouldn’t hurt even if she used all her strength. But after the ‘pak,’ Luo Pianju felt a shock coming from her buttocks.
Ripples spread on the skin of the hips covered by the clothes and then disappeared. Luo Pianju turned around and looked at Long Xiruo puzzledly, not knowing why Sister Long touched herself just now.
Long Xiruo stared fiercely at Pianju this time before she said fiercely, “Sit! I have something to tell you!”
Compared with Sister Su Zijun’s fierce expression, Long Sister looked so much cuter in her stern expression. Lun Pianju couldn’t help but want to cuddle Sister Long in her arms for a while.
“Sister Long, what are you planning to say?”
Seeing Luo Pianju blinking her eyes without being serious, Long Xiruo felt this little girl would never learn her lesson.
Long Xiruo sighed and said, “We may encounter troubles during this trip to Mountain Tai. It is not convenient for me to take action now, so I’m afraid that there will be a time when you need to take action for me. In your return this time, your demon beast power grows stronger. You have faintly approached the greater demon beast level, but there is still an obstacle to it. Don’t underestimate this obstacle. Its difference marks the gap between the greater demon beast and the medium demon beast.”
Luo Pianju blinked. She didn’t understand it at all.
Long Xiruo faintly turned her forehead, “In short, I will help you grow to the greater demon beast level. You just need to do what I said!”
Luo Pianju, who was simple and obedient, nodded quickly.
Long Xiruo paused and said in a serious tone, “For cultivation matters, I will guide you after the train ride. Now, since we’re still on the commute, I will tell you the purpose of this trip. “
Knowing that Sister Long talked about something important, Luo Pianju listened attentively.
“Someone found Emperor Dongyu’s cave mansion in Mountain Tai.” Long Xiruo recalled Gui Qianyi’s call that reached her not long ago.
Luo Pianju had heard of Emperor Dongyue, but she had only heard it mentioned by the late grandfather tree demon beast. When she was young, she didn’t care too much and treated it as just a figure in myth.
“Emperor Dongyue, the legendary emperor who manages the souls of the dead?” Luo Pianju voiced her limited knowledge.
Long Xiruo nodded, “Yes. The ten chambers of Yama, the eighteenth floor of the underworld, etc. We collectively addressed them as hell. Emperor Dongyue is the only hell king. Nowadays, hell has long been closed. Reincarnation is interrupted already. This is quite abnormal. If this continues, even humanity will perish. This time, the discovery of the cave mansion left by Emperor Dongyue may solve the hell’s mystery.”
Long Xiruo was the True Dragon Guardian of Divine Land. In fact, she had been secretly investigating the mystery of the hell’s closure over the years. It was just that everyone had their role in this world. As the True Dragon Guardian, she had to protect this land. Naturally, there was another person who took charge of the souls of the dead.
To put it simply, among the positions in Divine Land, Emperor Dongyue and True Dragon could be regarded as figures of the same level. Of course, this was only part of the Taoist’s claim.
This time around, Gui Qianyi called to inform Long Xiruo of the incident and said there was already a mess in Mountain Tai.
It was about heaven and earth’s doomsday. Some prominent figures in the circles had already felt the deterrence of heaven and earth on transcended, giving a hint that their end was approaching. When they saw the emergence of the ancient emperor’s cave, they fought for it, hoping to acquire the emperor’s legacy in the hope of finding an opportunity in the cave manor.
At this moment, chaos plunged Mountain Tai. The human and demon beast pointed their weapons at each other. Both sides had been probing each other’s limits. Conflict occurred from time to time. This piece of news even spread like wildfire. Even some guys who had left overseas had quietly returned because of the war.
Once this matter went out of control, the transcended circles, which had been well hidden in this country, would be in danger of being exposed to the public at any time. At that time, even if the state tried its best to contain the news, it would still be beyond its ability.
However, Long Xiruo was still confused. Emperor Dongyue was also known as the Mountain Tai God. According to legend, he gained the Tao in Mountain Tai. If he did leave the cave manor in Mountain Tai, why hasn’t anyone discovered the cave’s existence in previous years?
As a matter of fact, Mountain Tai would have a Penglai Conference every ten years.
The discovery of Emperor Dongyue might be related to Penglai.
Long Xiruo made many speculations in her heart, but she was still clueless. She looked at the obedient little butterfly demon. There were quite a couple of inconveniences for her on this trip. Each time she used her power, she could only use it for a few minutes, and then she would need to rest for a while. Most likely, she had to rely on Luo Pianju’s aid.
But is this girl reliable?
At first, she planned to bring Sun Xiaosheng along. However, considering Sun Xiaosheng’s character to seek a chaotic world, she was afraid that bringing this guy on would only create more variables, so she gave up.
Every greater demon beast, especially those who had the qualifications to become the demon beast king, was quite prideful and stubborn. First, Long Xiruo suppressed Sun Xiaosheng because of her identity and strength as the True Dragon. Secondly, it was because Sun Xiaosheng fell in love with Su Zijun.
But when it came to that illusory opportunity, Sun Xiaosheng would hold a different attitude.
“I should never let Sun Xiaosheng know my current state!” Long Xiruo was secretly wary.
While chatting, the door of the first-class cabin suddenly opened. The attendant came in with food and asked politely. Luo Pianju blinked her eyes with her finger by her lips. The first thing she asked was, “Do you have milk?”
This girl… She can never be serious.
…
A pier in Hong Kong.
The night painted the surrounding area pitch black. Wang Yuechuan had been waiting there for more than an hour with his baggage alone.
According to 18’s instructions, he would need to stay put and hide for two days once he came to Hong Kong. Then, he received 18’s instructions again.
According to the instructions, he would take a small boat arranged tonight and enter Thailand by smuggling. As for entering Thailand, there would be a new mission identity.
Without any support, even starting in this way from the beginning, Wang Yuechuan felt the difficulties ahead. But it was precisely because of this that Wang Yuechuan became more and more convinced of the next mission.
After all, in his opinion, no one would be so bored to utilize so many forces, sending out a wanted criminal and then arranging a smuggle. Also, it seemed more convincing, with the target being an international mercenary group.
Besides, he had already confirmed the legitimacy with his adoptive father, who was also a leader, over the phone at the start. Wang Yuechuan sighed. He had already lost his original phone. Following 18’s instructions, he needed to abandon everything that could link to his identity.
Even from the moment Wang Yuechuan arrived in Hong Kong, he never contacted his adoptive father again.
At this moment, there were a few flashes on the sea level ahead. Wang Yuechuan knew that it was the secret signal from the flashlight of the smuggling ship. The light source flickered consecutively. It appeared to be Morse, which meant that it was safe to board the ship at this time.
After a while, a small ship drove to the pier with only a man in his thirties. Wang Yuechuan and the other party said a few words. After confirming the identities of both parties, he immediately went on the fishing ship still at sea.
“Why do you want to go to Thailand?”
The man driving the ship seemed to ask casually afterward, using incoherent Mandarin: commonly known as Hong Kong pidgin [1].
Of course, most of the people who were smuggled out under his aid were criminals. So he didn’t particularly want to dig further. It was just because of curiosity.
Wang Yuechuan didn’t say a word. Instead, he glanced at the man before closing his eyes.
This man was not surprised. Knowing that the man who came here must be in a foul mood.
“Do you have any cigarettes?” Wang Yuechuan suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the man.
“Yes.” The man took out a pack of red Marlboro, lit one for Wang Yuechuan, “You smoke too? You don’t seem like it.”
There were naturally no signs of being a smoker on Wang Yuechuan’s fingers and teeth. The shipman’s eyes were quite sharp.
Wang Yuechuan said indifferently at this time, “I will smoke in the future.”
He took a sip of the cigarette, and the pungent smell began to invade his throat, making him feel quite uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but frown.
The shipman suddenly discovered that this man he was smuggling was quite masculine when he frowned.
Wang Yuechuan also didn’t bother with the shipman’s thoughts at this time. The shipman just inhaled the secondhand smoke, adapting to the pungent smell. At the same time, Wang Yuechuan began to recall the information about the mercenary group he needed to contact next.
It’s called “EOK.”
“EOK” recruited almost all retired soldiers from elite troops or war criminals in the armed forces of various countries. EOK’s scale was small. There would always be only 99 members. Unless one of the 99 members were dead, otherwise no new members would be recruited.
This time, “EOK” had two recruits because of the accidental death of two members during a mercenary mission.
…
On the pier, a dark shadow completely dissolved into the night. At this time, watching the boat gradually leave, he laughed twice before disappearing.
Naturally, it was Black Soul Messenger Number 18 from the club.
Luo Qiu did not bring Number 18 and Dazhe in the club’s migration. For some reason, Luo Qiu allowed Number 18 to move freely and gave her permission to use the Border Gate.
In other words, if Number 18 wanted to go to a place, she could open the Border Gate to fulfill her goal. With that, she could easily get investors for the club.
This place was Number 18’s former territory. It was all up to her preferences. There was no time limit for her, and there was no need to hand in the investor’s data card before opening the door.
It was a holiday in disguise.
Number 18 felt that the master’s new command was a reward to her.
It was just that she thought about it for a long time. It stood to reason that she failed once on Zhu Maolin. It would be a blessing to say that she didn’t get punished. Naturally, she didn’t anticipate getting a reward.
But the permission to open Border Gate had already been imprinted on her. In the end, Number 18 had to believe all this.
She thought about it for a long time and finally vaguely felt that the reward the new master gave to her was probably related to her secretly protecting Ren Ziling at the beginning.
“Since I can use the Border Gate at will and there is no time limit…” Number 18 was in a good mood at this time. Naturally, the first thing to consider was how to nurture this ‘magician’ she was optimistic with.
“So, Sister Number 18, we have to go to Thailand next?”
Suddenly, Dazhe’s voice came from behind Number 18. Hearing this voice, Number 18’s good mood instantly became irritable.
She couldn’t help but remember the boss’s last words before he left: I will leave Dazhe under your care.
But after all, it was a supreme order from the master. Number 18 couldn’t say no.
“I heard that there are a lot of ladyboys in Thailand? Tsk tsk, this is a foreign trip, right?”
Dazhe was wearing beach pants and a straw hat at this time, completely looking like a tourist. Number 18 complained deep down her heart: Master, why did you leave this burdensome fellow to me?
…
Brazil – Rio.
The packed items were unpacked one by one. Then, the maid put them back in their original positions.
Luo Qiu felt that he shouldn’t be idle, so he took the initiative to pick up the rag and wiped the storefront window.
Behind him was the street of this slum. Instead of saying that it was a street, it was more of a winding staircase.
Opposite the initial grocery store where the club was located, there was a barbershop. The distance between the two was less than three meters. But this was already considered a relatively spacious section of this ‘stairway.’
Boss sighed towards the mirror surface of the cabinet. After wiping it, he felt satisfied, so he stopped. He planned to return to the lobby, but his eyes caught something. He suddenly saw a shoe was hung at the telephone pole not far away.
Luo Qiu remembered that the shoe wasn’t there previously.
According to the rules here, when shoes were hung up, it was a signal that there would be drug trades.
Luo Qiu heard that many slums were under the control of drug dealers and traffickers. Luo Qiu recalled the police forces could hardly penetrate their forces into the slum he picked.
Probably, something interesting would happen. Luo Qiu suddenly had such an idea before entering the door. There could be some surprises.
Originally, Luo Qiu chose to come here because he didn’t intend to stay long. He planned to stay here for a short period before the Lunar New Year to figure out some other stuff.
“The one who has a blood kinship with me is here…”
