Chapter 82: Old Friends
At the top of Lingxi Mountain, in the jungle closest to the black pillar of fog, an old man with a sackcloth mask was jumping among the canopies, followed by two middle-aged people with solemn faces.
Although the old man was thin, he seemed to have endless strength, and his body was as light as a swallow shuttling through the forest quickly, compared to him, the two middle-aged people who followed behind him were more difficult, and they barely kept up with the old man's moving speed.
"Director, are you sure you have an acquaintance here?"
Hearing this, the old man just smiled and continued to take them through the mountains and forests.
This old man is Zhou Jun, after wearing the cotton and linen mask, his temperament has also changed slightly, compared to the gentle and kind before, at this time he is exuding a strange aura, the rough mask has no pattern depiction, only a simple cloud of dirt similar to ink.
The ink-like dirt trail seemed to be alive, and when he breathed or spoke, the ink would be deformed to a certain extent, sometimes like a dark cloud, sometimes like a moth, constantly changing its state from beginning to end.
Soon, Zhou saw an acquaintance standing in the canopy in front of him.
"You're really here......" Zhou Tuan suddenly laughed, his voice was different from usual, and he sounded a little hoarse.
Hearing this voice, the old man standing in the canopy glanced back at him, as if he had expected him to appear, and the expression on his face was not surprised.
"You're an old immortal?" The old man still had half a burning cigarette in his mouth, and the expression on his face looked a little impatient, "What are you doing here if you don't deal with the matter of your secret bureau?" ”
Hearing that someone dared to speak to his director like this, Yan Qingdixiao, who was standing behind Zhou Yan, couldn't help frowning.
Who are you?
How dare you talk to the director like this with one mouth?
As soon as they stood firm in the canopy and looked up at the old man who was talking, the idea of cursing vanished in an instant.
"Ge Ci, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still so polite when you speak." Zhou Jian laughed, jumped lightly and jumped onto the canopy where the old man was, almost standing shoulder to shoulder with him, "Ning Chuan has such a big thing, I knew you would come." ”
"Fuck off." The old man frowned, and looked at Zhou Jian a little unhappily, "Why do I think you are a little gloating?" ”
The old liar was in a very unhappy mood, since he saw Chen Xian lose his hand in Lingxi Mountain, and was forced by that abnormal life to play bullshit hide and seek...... The old liar has always been on fire in his heart, although he also scolded Chen Xian in private for a few words that are really fucking useless, but in the end, he still feels sorry for Chen Xian, and that feeling is the same as his own child being bullied by outsiders.
If it weren't for Chen Xian's face.
If it weren't for the fact that this strange case was too big.
The old liar may have gone to Jiuling Mountain to slaughter that thing a long time ago!
He had suppressed the anger in his heart from beginning to end, his mood was quite stable, and his mood was gradually calming down, but he never imagined that Zhou Jian would jump out at this time......
"As soon as I arrived at Lingxi Mountain, I smelled the smell on your body, and I couldn't help but come to see you when I thought that I hadn't seen you for many years, why did you have a nose and eyes that weren't your eyes when you first met?" Zhou Tuan was very dissatisfied with the old liar's attitude, and his tone was ten thousand dissatisfied, "Can you be polite to me?" ”
The old liar glanced back at him, and when he saw the strange mask Zhou Yan was wearing, his brows instantly furrowed even tighter.
"How many years have you been wearing this broken mask? Don't have enough of it? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tuan smiled quietly, but he didn't laugh, just replied softly: "Get used to it." ”
"Pretending to be a ghost." The old liar snorted coldly.
"Boss Ge, can you be a little respectful when you speak to our director?" Di Xiao, who was standing not far away, couldn't listen anymore, his face was full of hostility, "Our director is also a respected alien, and he is a peer with you, he ......"
"Do you believe that I will smoke you?" The old liar gave him a blank look, and his speech was still so polite, "What do you mean by interjecting when I talk to your director?" Or do you think the minister of the secret bureau is the best of the day? I'm going to have to sell you face, old thing, don't I? ”
Without waiting for Di Xiao to say anything more, Zhou Jian suddenly turned around and gave him a look, signaling him not to mess around, this old thing surnamed Ge is holding back an evil fire, don't do anything to add fuel to the fire at this time.
At this time, Yan Qing, who was standing behind Di Xiao, pulled him.
"The two of them have always communicated like this, and it's not the first time you've seen each other." Yan Qing persuaded in a low voice, "This old thing's identity is not lower than that of our director, and the two of us won't have much trouble when they communicate at the same level." ”
"I can't get used to it." Di Xiao said with a frown.
There may be many people who don't know the identity of the old liar, but it is impossible for Di Xiao Yanqing, who is the head of the secret department, not to know.
The seemingly obscene and gangstered old man in front of him is the leader of thousands of yin markets in China, and he is also the "master" who needs to be worshiped by the boss of the yin market in every city.
To put it simply, all the yin markets in the country currently belong to his personal assets, and those abnormal lives that can walk in the sun with certificates are all under his management.
If the Secret Bureau is in charge of face, then this old man is in charge of Lizi, and the most disgraceful dark creatures live under his protection...... and all of them worship him as God.
Perhaps the hard power of the Yin City is not comparable to the Secret Bureau, but it is undeniable that they have a transcendent status in the country, and they are recognized by the Inhuman Circle as the most powerful "anomalous" organization outside of the Secret Bureau, not only to contain those anomalous beings from the north and south of the country, but also to accept those who can't find a home or can't see the light.
As far as the current domestic situation is concerned, except for the Secret Bureau, no Inhuman organization dares to say that it can overpower the Yin Market, even those major families who are high in the Inhuman circle, they do not dare to offend the Yin City at will, and even more afraid of the Yin Market than the Secret Bureau.
The Yin City is a legal organization, and the internal members also know the law better than most Inhumans, and because they understand the law, they have countless ways to circumvent the legal constraints so that you can't die well, not to mention that the strength of the Yin City is too frightening, and those who have dealt with the Yin City know that the power of the Yin Market on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg, and this small part of the power ..... It's enough to suppress most of the Inhumans in the country.
What's more, the "master" in the mouth of the members of the Yin City has been hidden behind the scenes and never shows up, no one knows how powerful this alien (or abnormal life) who dominates the Yin City is, of course, over the years, many people have speculated and analyzed in private, maybe the strength of the Lord of the Yin City should be comparable to the director of the secret bureau, even if it is weak, it will not be too weak.
If he didn't have this kind of unreasonable strength, how could he suppress the thousands of abnormal lives in the country? And how to restrain them so that they understand the rules and obey the law?
Once, the ministers of the Secret Bureau also talked with Zhou Tuan at the meeting about whether to further restrict the Yin Market, but in the end this proposal was vetoed by Zhou Tuan himself, as for why he vetoed it, Zhou Tuan never gave an explanation.
"Looks like you're in a bad mood today." Zhou Jun said.
"Nonsense, Lao Tzu's face is full of unhappiness, can't you see it?" The old liar frowned, looking at the black pillar of fog not far away, his face became more and more gloomy, "This thing is a bit tricky, it's different from the qi I've encountered before, and it may not be so easy to solve." ”
"Do you still find it difficult?" Zhou Jun laughed.
The old liar did not say anything, was silent for a while, and suddenly looked back at him.
"Since you're here, I won't be involved in this matter, I'm going to go to Jiuling Mountain to have a look."
Hearing the words of the old liar, Yan Qing Di Xiao couldn't help frowning, because in their impression, Ge Ci was a master who didn't like to meddle at all, and how far he could go when he encountered trouble...... Go to Jiuling Mountain at this juncture? What did he do in Jiuling Mountain?
"Go ahead, I'm here to watch." Zhou Jian nodded, the voice coming out of the mask was a little dull, he seemed to have known that the old liar would have the idea of going to Jiuling Mountain, so he was not surprised, "We have a descendant in the secret bureau who is also in Jiuling Mountain, if it is convenient for you......"
"It's inconvenient, let's go."
After the old liar said this, he jumped off the canopy, and disappeared the moment he landed, as if he had disappeared out of thin air from this world, and that strange way of disappearing made Di Xiao Yan Qing's brows couldn't help jumping.
At the same time, Zhou's mobile phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and didn't rush to answer the phone, first moved to a position far away from Di Xiao and them, and then looked left and right for a while, making sure that the old liar had gone away, and then answered the phone.
"Hello? Lao Ge? Why did you suddenly think to call me? ”
"Old Zhou! I just met your director! ”
As soon as he heard the old liar's words, Zhou Jian instantly showed a smug smile, but this smugness was well hidden by him, and he pretended to be surprised: "You met our director?" He is a dragon-like figure, and he usually has no end in sight...... Where did you meet it? ”
"I met him at his grave." The old liar scolded on the phone, "He is an old immortal who wears a hood when he meets me, pretending to be mysterious, not to mention how much he owes a beating!" ”
"Oh...... That's ......" Zhou Tuan's expression was a little embarrassed.
"The live broadcast was interrupted before, I suspect that something happened over there, I'll go to Jiuling Mountain to take a look now, you can give a report to your upper echelons, just say that your director pretended to be forced to be killed by me on the spot, and no one in the fog pillar of Lingxi Mountain was dealt with, let them send reinforcements over quickly!" The old liar scolded unceremoniously, and then added, "It should be no problem for me to have me over there in Jiuling Mountain, don't worry about beckoning a bunch of oil bottles to come over." ”
The corners of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched a few times, wanting to scold but he still resisted the urge to scold, and barely tightened a calm tone.
"Okay, I see, be careful yourself."
As soon as the voice fell, he hung up the phone directly.
At this time, the old liar was rushing to Jiuling Mountain, and when he saw that the phone was picked up by the person over there, he immediately showed a very bright smile, and he looked like he had won a big victory, and he was still scolding and muttering in his mouth.
"I really thought I didn't know your identity or what....... Fuck still pretending to be ...... with me I've been playing for decades and I'm not tired...... You old ......."
After hanging up.
Zhou Lian took more than a dozen deep breaths, and then he felt a little calmer.
Looking back, Di Xiao and Yan Qing were looking at themselves from a distance and kept waving their hands.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jian immediately returned to their side and asked suspiciously, "Why are your expressions so ugly?" What's going wrong? ”
Di Xiao was still holding a mobile phone in his hand, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat that had been rushed out.
"Director! The area of Jiuling Mountain that we blocked is gone! ”
"Gone?" Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't immediately understand Di Xiao's words.
"It's just gone!" Di Xiao anxiously explained, "The reinforcements sent by our headquarters arrived at the top of Jiuling Mountain ten minutes ago, but they haven't found the place where Chen Xian and the others went until now!" At present, the technicians have ruled out the possibility of "domains"! The technician said that the area had disappeared incomprehensibly, and now they are still searching, Director, should we go to Jiuling Mountain......"
"It's okay, that old thing will definitely be able to handle it."
Zhou Yan's voice was a little hoarse, his hands behind his back trembled faintly, and the restless mood in his heart was concealed by him.
"Our task is to deal with this pillar of fog, which is the biggest threat facing the people of Ningchuan City..... We can't go. ”
