Chapter 9 Fengjia Night Market
The plane arrived.
Passengers get up and take their bags from the luggage racks. The three of them and Xie Mengqi stepped off the plane together and walked to the exit of the airport.
A man holding a small sign with a four-man number standing outside the pick-up gate came up to the man, who looked down and checked the pictures of several people, and pouted at the four small lockboxes at his feet.
"Take the lockbox with your number on it."
Lin Lexuan and the four of them stepped forward to pick up their own boxes and followed the man to the exit of the airport.
Out of the airport, a heat wave from mid-June hit my face. Several middle-aged women with smiling faces stood at the airport gate and handed each of them a leaflet. The leader took it with a smile, watching his movements, and the four Lin Lexuan who followed him also took the leaflet.
Lin Muhan wanted to see what was written on it. But the leader said lightly: "Don't look at it, it's all a brochure of a certain skill." Just go out of the airport and find a trash can to throw it away. ”
"Isn't that a cult?" Lin Xiangyu frowned and asked.
"It's legal in Taiwan."
The man shrugged his shoulders and he walked out the door and threw the flyer into the bin. He walked to a bus with the four of them, handed each of them a business card, wiped the sweat from his head, and said:
"I'll bring you here. I know that the mission instructions say that the target is still in Taichung, and I have booked a hotel there, and you have everything you need in the box. Including the equipment, documents, and money you applied for in the mission item management section, and some miscellaneous things, it is enough for you. Further mission instructions are in box 75. Get in this car now, and you'll be in Taichung in three and a half hours. Here's my business card, take one for each person and call me if you need it. Remember to pre-dial the encrypted number in front of it. ”
"Huaheng Brokerage Company, Zhang Jiaxi." Lin Lexuan looked at the business card and read.
"Yes. Something to contact. ”
The man winked at them, and he gestured to the driver to tell him he was ready to drive.
The driver nodded, and the car left the airport and drove onto the road.
In the car, several people opened the lockbox and began to rummage through the contents of the box. Lin Xiangyu took out a brown paper bag with the word "top secret" written on the cover, he tore open the bag and pulled out a piece of information.
Three days ago, the liaison officer of Yan Huang's office in Taiwan last spotted Raphael and his party at a rental apartment called "Xintai" next to the Fengjia Night Market in Taichung. Then the liaison disappeared, and from the analysis of his last news, we suspect that Raphael will make a move in Taichung. Important events that will occur in Taichung in the near future include: on June 27, Chairman Zhu Yanping delivered a speech in Taichung to win public votes; On 29 June, Ma Ying-wu, president of Taiwan and chairman of the Kuomintang Party, visited Taichung. July 3 ......"
"Raphael's plan shouldn't have anything to do with these political events, right?" Lin Muhan asked.
"Probably not, after all, there is an international anomaly law, and he does not dare to rashly interfere in the political life of ordinary people. By the way, what is Taiwan's paranormal organization called? Lin Xiangyu asked.
"Taiwan Secret Police Station." Xie Mengqi said coldly.
Lin Xiangyu ignored the mockery in Xie Mengqi's tone and continued: "Then let's go and see what business trips they will have in Taichung in the near future." ”
"I'll look for it."
Lin Lexuan took the information in Lin Xiangyu's hand, he looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No." The Secret Police Department will not come to Taichung until mid-July to inspect it, and the Taichung Branch Office has not taken any major actions in the near future. ”
"Then what did Rafael go to Taichung for?" Lin Muhan frowned and thought.
"Since these possibilities have been ruled out, then of course their target is for the life alchemist clan." Xie Mengqi said.
"The Fortune Alchemists? What is that? Several people frowned, looked at Xie Mengqi and asked.
"You don't know?"
Xie Mengqi's cold expression finally relaxed, she looked at the three of them in disbelief, and said, "This is the task of the great enshrinement to us." ”
"Isn't the mission of the Great Offering to let us kill Raphael?" Lin Lexuan asked.
"He secretly gave us a mission before we came out."
Looking at everyone's confused looks, Xie Mengqi's gaze gradually changed from disbelief to a trace of doubt: "Don't you know? ”
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. We know. ”
Lin Muhan's brain turned the fastest, and he hurriedly said. Lin Xiangyu and Lin Lexuan also instantly became clear.
"Really?"
Xie Mengqi still looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What kind of instructions did the Great Offering give us?" ”
"Forehead ......"
Lin Muhan left a drop of cold sweat on his face, he opened his mouth and did not speak.
"What is the order?"
Xie Mengqi asked, and gradually, a trace of genuine killing intent flashed in her eyes.
"Let's contact the Alchemist clan and befriend them." Lin Lexuan's eyes flashed, he stared at Xie Mengqi, and said in a deep voice.
"That's pretty much it."
Xie Mengqi nodded, and the killing intent in her eyes slowly converged. She looked everyone in the eye and said in a cold voice:
"I really don't know how you guys have brains that you forget such important things. I repeat that you'd better not get in my way during the mission, or I'll kill you before I can continue the mission. ”
"No problem." Lin Lexuan said.
Xie Mengqi didn't speak again, she turned around, leaned on the seat of the bus and began to close her eyes.
The three exchanged a shocked look and wiped the cold sweat from their heads.
………………………………………………
Time passed quietly, and it was getting dark.
After a three-and-a-half-hour drive, the bus finally arrived in Taichung. The car stopped in front of a motel, and they opened the door and walked into the hotel with suitcases.
"I'll sleep in the room across from you, don't disturb me."
Xie Mengqi coldly dropped this sentence and walked into the room opposite several people.
The three of them walked into their hotel room, Lin Xiangyu looked outside vigilantly and locked the door.
As soon as the door closed, Lin Muhan glared at Lin Lexuan and asked in a low voice, "What did you think at that time?" ”
"I've heard of this family of life alchemists."
Lin Lexuan explained: "They are a mysterious race that has been passed down from ancient China to the present. Teacher...... Lin Chang only mentioned to me by chance that legend says that they can capture and control their fate, and use the power of fate to live and fight. But 700 years ago, with the Mongol invasion of the Central Plains, this ethnic group gradually went into decline, until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they migrated to Taiwan and secretly took root here. As for why I told Meng Qi like this......"
Lin Lexuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm Meng." ”
Lin Muhan and Lin Xiangyu looked at him speechlessly, Lin Lexuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Because no matter how you say it, the life refiner is also a Chinese." Our task is to deal with the Southeast Asians, and it is likely that we will reach them. So I thought the content of the mission would be more likely to be good with them, and that's what I said. ”
"What if you didn't guess correctly?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"What do you think so much about......"
Lin Lexuan lay down on the bed and said with a wry smile: "Didn't I guess right now, can I relax." ”
"It's just a little scary." Lin Xiangyu also lay on the bed and let out a sigh of relief.
"What are we going to do in a moment?" Lin Muhan looked at the two people lying on the bed in a large shape and asked speechlessly.
"It's only seven o'clock in the evening, why don't you go to Fengjia Night Market first?" Lin Lexuan said.
"Are we called Mengqi?" Lin Muhan asked.
"Forget it, she is now a big worshipper, can she not be called or not."
Lin Lexuan pursed his lips and said, "Moreover, can you stand her current appearance of 10,000-year-old ice?" ”
"Yes. Then let's go on our own. Lin Muhan sighed and said.
"Then I'll take a shower and wait for me." Lin Xiangyu sat up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.
At this time, watching Lin Xiangyu walk into the bathroom, Lin Muhan glanced at Lin Lexuan, and said with a slight warning: "Don't talk about Mengqi like that in the future, this is not what she is." ”
Lin Lexuan snorted undeniably, he turned his head to look at the bustling scenery outside the window, and a dim light flashed in his eyes.
…………………………………………
An hour later.
The three of them left the hotel and came to the nearby Fengjia Night Market.
It's one of the largest night markets in Taichung, with one shop after another on the street, mostly clothing stores and food stalls. Bustling crowds are constantly surging between these shops, queuing up to buy a variety of goods and snacks.
There are dozens of snacks in the night market, and each one looks delicious. Lin Muhan looked at the food stalls around him, a little moved.
"Buy some and try it." Lin Xiangyu nodded.
When the three of them came out, they brought a lot of NT$ with them, and they walked to the front of the food stall and bought a few large chicken cutlets and a box of fried chicken balls with chili powder. The rich aroma completely whetted their appetite, and they quickly devoured the snacks.
Lin Xiangyu looked at the empty carton and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want to ...... Buy some more? ”
"Wait, we'll be here for a few days, don't delay the mission." Lin Lexuan said.
Then, he pointed forward and said in a deep voice: "And the rental apartment we are looking for has arrived." ”
The two followed Lin Lexuan's gaze, only to see that in front of them on the right, a small five-story building that looked a little old stood quietly on a street next to the night market, a faded signboard hung upstairs, and the dim neon tubes spelled out a few vague big characters: Xintai Apartment.
"That's it."
The three of them nodded and threw the carton in their hands into the trash. Silently, they climbed over the red brick wall between the two streets and walked to the door of the apartment.
