Chapter 10: Ghost Forest

Wang Tao and the three of them just got into the car, and before they had time to take a breath and rest for a while, they heard Akai start to talk about business: "Wang Tao! You have made the right choice, and with me, your progress will only be greater than your progress in the Elemental Academy! As for the school, Ye Xin will help you arrange it! It doesn't matter how high your education is, only what you learn here is what the real world needs! ”。

"What?" Lu Zhenliang asked uneasily: "You mean, we don't have to go to school in the future?" ”。

"Huh! Almost! It's just that you don't have to learn less than you do in school! By the way, I want to tell you that unlike the Elemental Academy, they provide food, but we don't......"

"Watts!" As soon as he heard that he would not be able to provide food, Lu Zhenliang began to complain: "Wang Tao! I'll tell you to choose the official, you have to listen! You see, do you rely on the family to give those few pieces and drink the northwest wind? The two of us just watched the rain boy eat? Oh! I forgot, the rain boy won't let you go hungry, so... Then I see you two eating? ”。

Akai, who was driving the car off the highway, glanced helplessly at Lu Zhenliang, who was chattering, in the rearview mirror, and then said slowly: "Guy, don't be too excited!" I'm not done yet! I've got to tell you something briefly! The organization we work in is called the Spiritual Society, and like the Human Alliance, the Spiritual Society, which has branches in various important regions. It's just that the branches and headquarters of the Human Alliance are called the Deacon Hall, for example, the one managed by Wang Tianyou is called the Dali Deacon Hall. And the Lingyin Society is called a branch, such as the Dali branch. But we don't belong to the Dali branch of the Lingyin Society, and our four groups are directly managed by the headquarters. We belong to the Investigation Section of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are four groups, and we are the fourth. That's all you need to know, but I'm telling you that you're not part of the Spiritual Hidden Society! You are just my apprentices, if one day you want to join the Lingyin Society, then you have to wait until you have the ability, and then take the assessment! Therefore, before the assessment, I can't say much about the too many affairs of the Lingyin Society! As for the issue of eating, you don't have to worry, I will provide food in the near future, and when you have some ability, I will delegate tasks to you, and it will not be as simple as providing food when you complete it, and I will directly give you some reward! Think of yourselves as bounty hunters now! ”。

"Cool!" The three of them were very excited when they heard this, and they didn't think about whether these tasks would be dangerous or anything, they just felt that they could make money, learn skills, and have such a popular title, they were already intoxicated by it.

Akai drove the car back to Gucheng District, and when he was not far from his destination, he continued: "It is worth mentioning by the way, whether you are here and what you have experienced, whether you should say it or not, you know it in your own hearts!" Even if you say it, no one will believe you! In addition, the first taboo is that when you have the power of nature, you are not allowed to use any force of nature on ordinary people! If you use it, you do it at your own risk! What the force of nature is, I'll teach you later! ”。

With that, Akai drove the car into a small alley, and after not much in, the car stopped. After Akai and Ye Xin took Wang Tao and the three of them to get out of the car, they walked along the rugged path and walked around for a while, and not far in front of them, a small shop appeared, and you can see this quaint little shop from a distance, and there is an old but elegant wooden signboard hanging in front of the store, called "Minor Tone Cafe".

As soon as I entered the minor key café, a relaxing music sounded in my ears, and everyone felt extremely relaxed.

As soon as Mu Yutong entered the café, he climbed on the table unrestrainedly, and said lifelessly: "It was like being kidnapped just now, you said yes, Taotao!" ”。 Wang Tao and Lu Zhenhao didn't seem to hear Yutong's words, and they were all obsessed with observing this café with a strong aroma of coffee, classical furnishings, and basically wooden objects. Although the wood is very old, it looks very comfortable, and the comfort makes the two of them wonder, how can such a classical small café make money when it is opened in such a remote way?

"Bang Bang!" Akai knocked on the table and said to the three of them, "Follow me, I'll take you to another world!" The real world! ”。 At the end of the sentence, Akai lit a cigar and led Wang Tao and the three into the warehouse behind the café, and Ye Xin followed closely.

Akai walked in front to lead the way, and Wang Tao and the three followed behind. It's a big warehouse, full of goods, and the goods are piled up to the point where there are only a few trails, and there are forks in the paths between them, like a mini labyrinth. Wang Tao and the three of them were dumbfounded, and they all secretly wondered how much they would get for these goods!

"You don't have to be so surprised, most of the goods inside are fake, just to have a pattern, only the outermost ones are genuine. For a normal person, anyone who can have such a large inventory can retire directly, can't they? Akai, who saw the thoughts of the three people, explained while leading the way: "Now the two forks on the right can go to the store on the street outside, where there is our foreign hotel, red hotel and cigar shop. Of course, these are also what I like, and they are also used to cover up, and by the way, I can make some extra money, the Lingyin Society is not as rich as the Human Alliance! But it's the front door that comes after the most important thing! ”。 With that, Akai led them to a door in the deepest part of the warehouse.

While everyone was still looking around, Wang Tao's eyes were fixed on the sign above the bronze wooden door. The logo is a vertical diamond shape, and there is a very special pattern in the logo, and this pattern is very similar to an oil painting. In the drawing, a half-figure with his back to the emblem is wearing a black cloak suit, and the half-figure is wearing a cloak hat looking back at the outside of the sign, but only a little of the corners of the mouth and a third of the left side of the face are exposed. The background looked like an old, dark green mixed with earthy yellow, and in addition to the background, he could feel that the person seemed to be being in the rain, and it seemed that there was no rain.

Without waiting for Wang Tao to ask about the sign, Akai slowly twisted the door open, and stood at the door with a very gentlemanly gesture to invite in: "This is my base, welcome to the new kingdom!" ”。

The three of them walked into the room one after another, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Lu Zhenliang, who was walking last, shouting: "Hey, let's go!" If you enter the door and don't leave, why are you leaving? As he spoke, he stretched out his head to look at the room, and sighed involuntarily: "Wow... High! Lu Zhenliang looked intently at the various instruments in the room. Although he thought that the Human Alliance must be more high-end and high-end, it was already very good here.

"This is" Mu Yutong didn't look at those technological devices, but looked at the strange models placed in the room. Wang Tao is different, he neither pays attention to the technology products on the right, nor does he pay too much attention to the monster models on the left, but keeps staring at the books that look more special in front of him.

After Akai entered the room, he closed the door with a "snap", which frightened the friends and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

"Don't be nervous!" Akai tilted his head, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't just look at it!" ”。 He pointed to the small conference table in the center of the room and said, "Sit down!" ”。

The three of them sat down with their backs to the strange models, and Mu Yutong, who was sitting at the small conference table in the middle, glanced back at the strange models worriedly, and then looked back at Akai who was sitting opposite. Akai himself sat crookedly on the big table with one foot high and one foot low, and after taking a deep puff of cigar again, Akai joked: "I'm not a Frankenstein, and I won't be like Wang Tao who holds books like unsolved mysteries and scientific explorations all day long!" Just when Wang Tao wondered that this Kai brother even knew what books he liked to read, Akai pointed to the ninth model and said, "See this!" Do you still have any impressions? These models are all real things! ”。

Wang Tao and the three turned around and were stunned by the ninth model, although they didn't recognize the appearance of this thing, they recognized the green big feet.

As they looked at the model in amazement, Akai explained, "Ghost Forest, tall." The average height of an adult is 2.4 meters or more, and they have a long, slender and hairless tail with a tip like an arrow in a bow and arrow, and the tail is colored. However, we don't know what the difference is between the colors. Maybe it represents their rank, or maybe it is ability, but it is still unknown. Humanity may have known about it, but it has now been forgotten. Onimori also has four-toed soles, and the four fingers are about the same size, but the forefoot is much wider than the hind foot. The complexion is grayish-white, with sharp teeth and long pointed ears. Onisen muscles are strong, in my impression and in the records of the books in the organization, none of the onimori is fat, each onimori has eight-pack abs, very strong! They are generally dressed in leather goods, and in order not to be discovered, they will wear some disguise when they are haunted, if one day, you see a wild man, or hear that there are wild people, it is probably them, because they have been hidden in the forests and mountain streams for thousands of years. ”

"This foot is about the same as what I saw that night! But what we saw at the time were green feet? Wang Tao carefully observed the ghost forest.

"Yes, most of the Oni Forests have some green marks! It's not uncommon for Onimori to have green markings, but if one day you come across a pure gray-white one, be careful, that guy is definitely not an idle person! Before Akai could finish explaining, the chatter question came again: "So what are these guys?" Ghosts? ”。

Akai stared at Lu Zhenliang and explained impatiently: "Can you kid not split his mouth!" His name is Onimori, not a ghost! Because he has been hidden in the forest for a long time, he is called 'Onisen' by humans, he has his own name, he has his own culture, just like the Mayans, they are just a race! As for why people don't know about their existence, it's because ......". Without waiting for Akai to explain too much, his team knocked on the door and whispered a few words in Akai's ear. Akai's expression changed slightly, and he said to Wang Tao and the others: "You guys go back first!" Come here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock! ”。

After seeing Wang Tao and the others leave, Akai took the letter in the hands of the team members, opened it and saw that it was just six words, but Akai couldn't help wiping a cold sweat!

The letter said: "Don't contaminate Wang Tao! ”。
