Chapter 2 Bargaining
Hearing Lin Shuo speak, Anne smiled:
"My name is Anne and I'm the head of Asia for the International Biological Research Association. The International Biological Research Society is an international non-profit organization that aims to research and develop the application of strange creatures around the world.
The one I was traveling with was the captain of our Asian team, Wei Xingshan. ”
Wei Xingshan finally woke up from his surprise at the starling bird at this time, stood up straight, and saluted Lin Shuo with a standard military salute.
Lin Shuo glanced at this sturdy giant man lightly, and didn't take a stubble.
"I took the liberty of visiting you this time because of this. As she spoke, Anne took out a white cloth package from her handbag, slowly spread it out, and presented it in front of Lin Shuo's eyes.
Lin Shuo was originally unmoved, but when he saw this scale, his expression changed slightly.
He twitched the wings of his nose twice, and a large amount of odor information penetrated his nostrils.
The familiar smell made Lin Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly behind the lenses of his glasses, and he reached out and took the scales from Anne's hand.
If you look closely, you can see that the scales are the size of two palms, and they look black and shiny in the sunlight that spills into the room, shining with a strange light.
Deflect the angle slightly, and you can find a dark red line three finger wide in the middle.
Lin Shuo's heart chuckled for a moment, his face turned pale, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is it it?"
The starling bird on the desk fluttered its wings and flew to Lin Shuo's shoulder, and also carefully observed the scales, and said:
"Brother Shuo, this can't be, right?"
"It couldn't have been, but now it's possible. Lin Shuo brought the scales close to his nose and sniffed it again, "That's it, and the smell is still very fresh, this thing will not leave the body for more than a month." ”
"It's still alive?" the starling flapped his wings excitedly, "It's not ......"
"It's not helpful to say more. Lin Shuo interrupted Starling's words and raised his head to look at Anne, "Where did you find this thing?"
"The Russian Far Eastern Federal District, on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River in our country. Anne immediately replied, "Two weeks ago, in a village more than 20 kilometers north of Heilongjiang, 182 people went missing. Seventy-three of them are Chinese nationals.
When the Russian police investigated the scene, they found traces of the giant creature crawling, and also found the scale at the scene.
Heilongjiang is the border between China and Russia, and the Russian police are inconvenient to investigate, and it is related to strange creatures, so the Russian government reported to our International Biological Research Society and hoped that we would investigate the matter.
This matter aroused the great interest of our research group, because ......"
"Stop. Lin Shuo raised his hand, interrupted Anne's statement, and asked with a frown, "You mean, this scale appeared near Heilongjiang?"
"Yes. Anne confirmed.
"How is that possible? The starling bird couldn't seem to believe the message.
Not to mention the bird next to him, even Lin Shuo himself couldn't believe this statement.
He knew the scale, to be exact, the owner of the scale.
It's a snake scale.
Just a snake scale is the size of two palms, so how big will the body be?
Six years ago, he went to Kunlun Mountain with his father and witnessed the owner of the scales.
It was the most gigantic strange creature Lin Shuo had ever seen.
At that time, it was bathing in thunder, like a catastrophe!
As far as he could see, the huge strange creature had died on that turbulent thunderstorm night six years ago.
And this scale seems to overturn all this.
It seems that it is time to get out for a walk.
While Lin Shuo stared at the scale and pondered, the room was silent.
Finally, Lin Shuo asked, "Then what does Miss Anne want to ask me to do when she comes here this time?"
"Capture this strange creature, of course. Miss Anne seemed to have been waiting for Lin Shuo to ask this sentence for a long time, and couldn't wait to reply, "Who in the hunter circle doesn't know that Mr. Lin is a master in this area. ”
"Capture?" Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes again, "If you are pure laymen, it would be forgivable to say the word 'capture'. But you International Biological Research Society should not be considered a layman. In the face of this kind of thing, it would be nice to be able to save a life. ”
"This ......," Anne said as soon as she seemed to run out of words, "we absolutely believe in Mr. Lin's abilities." ”
"Good. Lin Shuo nodded, "Since you believe me, I'll do it better." I can make an exception for this, but it will cost 10 million, and it will be alive or dead. ”
"Ten million?" Before Anne could answer, Wei Xingshan stopped first and questioned, "Little brother, you are a lion's mouth."
You must know that my elite team of mercenaries, with a total of fifteen people in three groups, have signed life and death contracts, and they will receive 10 million for this mission.
This 10 million yuan is equivalent to the money of 15 of us.
You dare to ask for 10 million for just one person?"
Lin Shuo raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Xingshan, and said indifferently, "I'm talking about dollars." ”
"You!" Wei Xingshan seemed to have been punched head-on, his face turned red, and the green tendons on his neck exploded.
Just as he was about to say something more, the knee sore again, and it turned out that Anne gave him another kick and motioned for him to stop.
"Such a large amount, my authority is insufficient, please Mr. Lin wait for a while, I want to ask my superiors. Anne said in a calm tone.
With that, Anne made an apologetic gesture, took out the phone in her handbag, and walked outside.
Wei Xingshan opened his eyes and looked at the back of this beauty.
Listen to this meaning, 10 million US dollars, can you still negotiate?
Wei Xingshan's whole person is not good.
Shortly after he joined the International Society for Biological Research, Anne was both his nominal supervisor and the target of his mission.
This woman, according to all the news he heard piecemeal, is not just a Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in the United States.
Now look at the bird on the table, and the emaciated young man sitting at the table, dressed as a down-of-the-town village teacher, who asks for $10 million when he opens his mouth.
Wei Xingshan originally thought that as a mercenary leader who licked blood from the knife edge, he was the most abnormal in this room. The skills you have should also be the most valuable.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all?
Just when Wei Xingshan was stunned, Anne had already finished the call and returned to the house.
She said with a smile on her face, "Mr. Lin, I have already asked for instructions. The above meaning, using this price to ask Mr. Lin to make a move, is really not respectful.
It's just that our research group is a public welfare organization with limited funds. You see if that's good, 10 million dollars for a live capture and 8 million dollars for a dead body. The deposit is paid in advance. ”
"Isn't it?" Wei Xingshan exclaimed, "Did you really agree?"
Anne ignored Wei Xingshan, but bowed slightly to Lin Shuo: "On behalf of the International Biological Research Association, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his help. ”
"You don't have to be so polite, just do it. Lin Shuo nodded and stood up: "I want to prepare." ”
"Don't worry, we're waiting for you. ”
......
Under the gaze of the two, Lin Shuo walked to the back door of the room and pushed open the door.
Outside is a small courtyard, next to the door is a bluestone countertop, on which is placed a kitchen knife board, which is where Lin Shuo usually handles ingredients.
Opposite the small courtyard, there is a main house with a red lacquered wooden door, although it is a main house, but Lin Shuo usually does not live in it.
Vegetables are grown in the small yard. Five or six chickens were digging the ground in search of food.
Lin Shuo bent down and stretched out his hand, grabbing the neck of a big red-crowned rooster.
The rooster flapped its wings violently and let out a mournful crow from its mouth.
Lin Shuo picked up the kitchen knife on the stone slab in the small courtyard, and the rooster head flew into the vegetable field next to him.
A yellow dog scurried out, picked up the head of the chicken and ran, piercing the eyes and disappearing.
Carrying the body of the rooster that was constantly bleeding in his hands, Lin Shuo kept walking and pushed open the door of the main house.
All of this happened in just two or three seconds. Lin Shuo didn't have the slightest superfluous action, catching chickens and killing chickens, neatly.
Wei Xingshan looked at Lin Shuo's actions, and felt a chill rise from his back, and at the same time, he was a little unclear.
"What is he doing here?" Wei Xingshan muttered.
"The rooster is bloody to the yang. Anne explained softly, "It's the best of the best." ”
"Offering murder weapons?"
"The Hunter Lin family enshrines an ancient murder weapon, which has been handed down for eighty-six generations. Anne said, "Lin Shuo is the eighty-seventh generation of the Lin family. ”
