Chapter 301: Immortal Formation (2)
"I've gathered all the information related to the Caucasus Mountains, but none of them have anything to do with the ancient stage. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? The Falcon murmured.
As the head of a major country, it is understandable that he cannot control the global situation, but he cannot even get to the bottom of his own domestic problems, which is really depressing.
The translator still wanted to speak, but the falcon pointed far away, and the translator immediately shut up.
Actually, I'm also tired of the kind of people who chatter and talk nonsense in key situations, and they are constantly noisy, completely torturing other people's ears.
There was silence for a few minutes, and the interpreter approached me and gently tugged on my sleeve.
I looked back at him, his lips moved, barely made a sound, and only communicated with his mouth: "Borrow a step to speak." β
"Please." Seeing that I had no intention of moving, he opened his mouth again, and looked at me with a begging look in his eyes.
I didn't want to save face continuously, so I retreated with him behind a row of pine trees.
"Mr. Long, I have read your country's legendary novel "The Legend of the Righteous Demon", and there is a story in it, which is exactly the same as what happened today." That translator said.
Of course, I know what kind of book "The Legend of the Righteous Demon" is, it is a collection of ancient folk legends, full of unbelievable strange stories between humans and demons.
"Similar to today?" I don't understand what the other person means.
"Snake, a big snake in Emei Mountain, cultivated into a fine and repaid the story by the West Lake. In that story, the snake fought the monk, and the monk was defeated, and finally hid in the shell of the crab, remember? The preface of the translated words does not match the afterword, but as long as you are familiar with Chinese folk tales and hear "Emei Mountain, Big Snake, West Lake, and Repay Kindness", you will know that it must be the story of "The Legend of the White Snake".
After the big snake cultivated to adulthood, he assumed the pseudonym Bai Suzhen, and was called the "White Lady" by the folks. The monk who was defeated by the White Lady was named Fahai, and finally hid in the crab shell and became the object of hatred and ridicule from all over the world.
"Okay, go ahead, let's talk about the key issues first." I nodded my head repeatedly, indicating that I understood what he was saying.
"The monk hid in the crab, and as long as he opened the crab, he could see a whole person. Here, people who disappear from the Caucasus Mountains will appear in another place, called the 'Summoning Mirror, Echo Wall'. According to my guess, if the woman did disappear into the stone wall, she would have appeared there. The translator said.
I understood what he meant, and immediately asked, "Where is the 'Summoning Mirror and Echo Wall'?" β
He looked around, and after identifying the direction, he pointed to the west of the monitoring station: "The straight-line distance from here is about ten kilometers, at the end of a mountain stream. β
I suddenly remembered the last words "hidden words" left by Jian Pengfei that Jian Rong had relayed, which was also related to "the end of the water".
"How do you get there?" I continued to ask.
"You can get there in an hour by car - you can take a general's helicopter in fifteen minutes." Translate the answer.
I immediately nodded: "Okay, let's go report to the general, borrow his helicopter, and go to that place." β
By the time I got back to the Falcon Den, he had calmed down and was punching and kicking his legs and exercising.
I was initially excited to hear the news, but as I walked back, I immediately analyzed the translated words carefully.
Fahai hiding in a crab shell is a folklore that represents the simple idea that the common people will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Back to reality, no one believes that it is true, even if every time they peel a crab, they see the thing that "meditates on the human form on their knees", they will not think that it is the real body of Fahai.
Someone who can work as a translator and secretary by Denfalcon's side must not be too ill-sighted, will he believe this nonsense?
So, what will he mean by pointing the finger at the so-called "summoning mirror and echo wall"?
"General, I have something to report." That translator said.
I watched from the sidelines, and I would never take credit.
"What?" The electric falcon glanced at me.
I turned around and looked out into the endless distance.
Disappearances occur every day around the world, and many disappeared people are never left behind as a mystery.
I don't want Jian Rong to leave the world in this way, Jian Pengfei died, and she disappeared with her, which means that the Jian clan lost two generals in one day, and the doom of the clan is not far off.
If I could find other clues, I'd rather it was a Pentagon-directed kidnapping.
Over there, the interpreter had already reported his opinion in Denfalcon's ear.
The Falcon nodded repeatedly, clearly impressed by the translator's words.
"Long Fei, let's take a helicopter together." The electric falcon stood up.
I quickly realized that the helicopter could carry only two bodyguards, and could only carry light weapons such as pistols and *, and its defense capabilities were extremely limited, which would greatly reduce the safety of the falcon's travel.
The interpreter gave the order over the walkie-talkie, and soon a helicopter flew from the foot of the mountain and slowly docked on the roof of the monitoring station, the propellers slowly turning, blowing snow all over the place.
"Let's go." Electric Falcon greets.
I felt that the translation was a little suspicious, but I didn't say it explicitly, but pretended to be kept in the dark and quickly followed the falcon.
When I arrived at the monitoring station to board the plane, as I expected, there were only two bodyguards on the plane.
"The others came by jeep, and the location was the Summoning Mirror, the Echo Wall, in the Cheka Town. Be vigilant along the way, and immediately set up a one-kilometer defensive circle when you arrive. The translator continued to order.
According to him, there is a big difference in the time between an airplane and a jeep. The planes arrived first, and if there was an exchange of fire, the jeep would not be able to catch up at all.
The pistol has an advantageous range of 20 meters,* and its lethality within 50 meters. As long as the enemy attacks with assault rifles, the two bodyguards will not be able to defend themselves.
After the plane took off, I noticed that the interpreter slowly breathed a sigh of relief, inserted his right hand into his arms, and groped for a long time before gently pulling it out.
One-handed*, twisting*, and popping the safety bolt all require long-term training to master, and as a civilian, he must rarely do this kind of work, so it will be more difficult.
I didn't want to be his first target, so instead of wearing a seat belt, I adjusted the length of the seat belt to the limit, which was two and a half meters. At critical moments, the seat belt can be used as a soft whip, wire lock, and rescue rope to kill people and save people.
Soon, the plane began to descend, and below was a village surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with about seventy or eighty households.
"Have you heard of that place?" The falcon looked back to me and asked.
I shook my head, and the electric falcon laughed: "Those legends are very old, they can't be found in international sources, and they are only published in the literature of the Chinese language." You know? In order to establish the international image of our country, we have done a lot of reforms, both domestic and foreign propaganda, the external propaganda has always taken the road of high-end atmosphere and justice, and internally, it has preached the advanced nature of the nation, the superiority of the system, the uniqueness of the country, and the integrity of officials...... It's like that in all countries, isn't it? β
The translator laughed, but the words of the electric falcon were not funny. Therefore, the laughter of the translator became extremely abrupt.
"Isn't it funny?" Denki asked.
The translator nodded: "Yes, yes, the general's words have always been very profound, and his subordinates are in reverence." β
I sneered in my heart, knowing that the translator was insincere.
The translator's appearance is quite good, but his eyes are flickering, looking left and right, and he has always looked restless.
The plane continued to descend and landed in a small square in the center of the town.
"When you get off the plane, go to the right, and the target is at the end of the road." The interpreter took the lead and jumped off the plane.
I didn't express my feelings to the electrofalcon, the translator was his person, but he was the opposite, not me. Therefore, this can be regarded as an electric falcon's family matter, and it is better for others not to interfere.
The town is very quiet, all the doors and windows facing the street are closed, and not a single person can be seen on the street.
At the end of the road, there is a white three-story building built against the mountain, and there is no figure on the surface.
Our group walked briskly through the deserted street, flashed into the building, and ascended to the third floor by a spiral staircase.
The third floor is just a hall, the hall is surrounded by walls on three sides, and one side is directly on the stone wall of the mountain.
The area of the stone wall is about eight meters wide and four meters high, and the left half is smooth as a mirror, which must have been polished with a special technique, showing a mysterious blue color, which can reflect the human figure. The stone wall in the right half is unusually rough, undulating, and wavy.
The Falcon waved his hand, and the interpreter leaned close to the stone wall and stood in front of the left half.
"It's a folk witchcraft in the mountains of the Caucasus, where people who see it in a mirror can protrude from the stone wall next to it. If you're lucky, you'll be able to pull it out right away and return to the world for great luck. If you're unlucky, the person you're going to summon will turn into a 'mountain ghost' and die under the stone wall. "The electric falcon introduced me.
I looked carefully at the undulating stone walls on the side, and I was shocked to find that all the "rising" stone walls were in the shape of human beings and human faces, and there were all kinds of struggles, all of which were trying their best to squeeze out, but in the end they could not break through the barrier of the stone wall and were trapped to death.
This stone wall turned out to be a "dead wall", suffocating countless people to death in it.
If, as the translator said, Jian Rong also entered here through mysterious channels, I am afraid that there is no hope of survival.
The interpreter stood in front of the mirrored stone wall for several minutes, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
I looked out the window, and it was quiet, and there was no crisis for the time being.
Since the beginning of the 21 st century, there have been constant frictions between various countries, and in some regions, several forces are in full swing, all of which are backed by the strong support of the superpowers.
It can be said that the variables are getting bigger and bigger, the conflicts are intensifying, and the great powers are unable to fully control the situation.
International observers have frankly admitted that if this development continues, a third world war will inevitably break out within five years.
In the past, the electric falcon was absolutely safe on the territory of his own country, and there was no need to worry about coups, mutinies, air raids, beheadings, etc., but now, when his head reward becomes as unattainable as Mount Everest, there are always gangsters who are not afraid of death, greedy for money, and lucky enough to dare to take this single job, and sneak into the northern powers with the attitude of moths to the fire, in a vain attempt to take his head.
I kept looking at the translator's back, and if he dared to draw a gun, he would die in an instant.
"Your Excellency, something is strangeβ" The interpreter turned back and put his right hand into his bosom again.
The electric falcon strode over and stood side by side in front of the mirror with the interpreter.
"I felt the presence of that Chinese girl, but she refused to show up. Now, I have to go out and find someone to help me miss for a few minutes. The translator said.
Without hesitation, I answered: "Okay, it's dangerous outside, I'll go out with you." β
The town is flat, and if someone occupies the high ground and shoots, everyone will be trapped in this building.
I hope that the interpreter will reveal his true colors as soon as possible, so that he can move from passive to active as soon as possible and see clearly the enemy's intentions.
The interpreter did not refute and went downstairs with me.
"How sure are you coming here?" I asked.
"Very sure." The interpreter replied with a smile.
"Principle? How did the people who mysteriously disappeared from the mountains come here? I asked.
"There are no principles, and many things in the world are always known to human beings but not to know why. As long as you can save people here, why bother so much? The translator asked rhetorically.
"If you can't save people, won't you delay Miss Jane's life?" I also asked rhetorically.
"Haha, delayed her life? You simply don't know if she's still alive, and if you don't, is there a good way? The interpreter laughed teasingly.
I sneered and stopped answering.
At that time, we had just taken the last step and stood in the hall on the first floor.
Suddenly, my feet went limp, and my body fell involuntarily, into the endless darkness.
