Chapter 108: Is This, a Secret Deal?
Rin reflexively straightened his body, but he heard Lan Zhu say sharply behind him, "Just look at the power of attorney on the road, don't procrastinate, go now!" ”
The shout was so loud that almost the entire floor could hear it.
But when Rin Rin heard this almost reprimanding tone, not only did she not show any dissatisfaction, but simply answered "yes", and ran away without a trace.
After all, with such an obvious early holiday, how could Rin not understand?
However, everyone else present at the time was taken aback, this team leader Lan has always been gentle, and he treats everything tepidly, which makes people not anxious.
Why did you suddenly lose your temper today, and you are so fierce to the demon envoy under you.
After thinking about it, everyone had to attribute the reason to the fact that probably Team Leader Lan felt that his half-demon identity had lost the face of his group, so he suddenly changed his temper and blamed him.
And as for what other people think and think, it doesn't matter what Lan Cha thinks.
Seeing that Rin Rin ran away without a trace without hesitation, Lan Zhucai breathed a sigh of relief, and instead reached out and tugged at his clothes, looking repeatedly in front of the common mirror at the entrance of the stairs.
"Like, it's really a little fat?"
-
After leaving the Cloud Hidden Association, Rin Rin put away the power of attorney in his hand.
Since Lan Chai said that she would be given a week, it must not be a too difficult commission. Just wait for her to finish dealing with the matter at hand and settle it in the end.
After making a decision, Rin took out the gray book from his pocket, the one he had found at the bottom of the cabinet at home.
Inside are notes written in a not-so-neat font.
That was when she had just entered the academy, because few people wanted to cross paths with her. And Rinrin, who had long been accustomed to the fearful eyes of others, didn't care, so he simply put his mind on studying.
A class in the academy once mentioned that the world is very large, towns and villages, mountains and forests, there are always some things that no one knows, and hidden secrets in the depths.
If these things are not mentioned by an insider, or if no one investigates, they will be like a grain of sand sinking into the sea, never to see the light of day, let alone know.
Although the Yunyin Association is affiliated with the largest security organization on the world's scale, it is difficult to know all the things in the world.
Therefore, under such an obvious loophole, organizations focused on information trafficking took the opportunity to seize business opportunities, and as they obtained them by various means, more and more secrets were unearthed. As a result, this secret organization has gradually grown.
As their foothold grew, the group began to evolve from an initial uncertainty to a faction of its own.
At that time, when she listened to the teacher talk about this, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
First, she has no secrets to obtain, and secondly, she ...... It was said that the price of the news was extremely expensive, and she didn't have the spare money to buy any so-called 'secret news'.
If you really have that spare money, buy some delicious food and enjoy it at home, isn't it fragrant!?
Because of this, Rin didn't listen too carefully in that class, as you can tell from her scribbled notes.
It's just that she didn't expect that after so long, such a lesson that was inconsequential to her became the last straw for Talos.
However, the trafficking of information is no longer a secret, and it is transparent enough to be written into a textbook and made public.
But after all, this kind of livelihood is not as ubiquitous as the food shops with street stalls, and it is mostly passed on by word of mouth among some big families, or people with access to it, who know the specific location of the peddling news.
Because of this, Rin Rin came to the association early, and found the relevant location of this mysterious organization in the database, and then asked Lan Zhu for a leave of absence by the way.
According to the records, this news-selling organization has a fixed dark spot, which is located in a restaurant in the center of the city.
With plenty of time, Rin went home first and simply prepared some things that she thought she should be able to use, as well as basic cross-dressing.
As the notes read, people who buy news don't want to show their true colors. After all, what they are looking for are unknown secrets and information, and it is not good to be too public.
It's just that this so-called cross-dressing is just a perfunctory mask that covers the basic appearance that can be recognized.
With everything in order, Rin stood outside the door and suddenly glanced back at the suitcase in the corner.
The soft gaze seems to have become extremely firm at this moment.
"Talos, think of it as a vacation I've given you now. When you recover, you have to pay me back with interest. ”
With that, Rin only smiled lightly and closed the door and left. Only the quiet room remained, and the wind blew the pale lotus-colored curtains.
"Plop—"
There was another heavy heartbeat, as if sensing something when no one was around, as if it was beating in response.
……
Rin arrived at the door of the restaurant in the center of the city, and it wasn't too late. According to the previous popular homework, she took a detour directly to the back of the restaurant, where it is used to dispose of food waste on weekdays.
Then, she put the fox mask she had prepared in advance, which she had bought at the temple fair a few years earlier, on her face, and gently knocked on a small door in the back kitchen.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside.
A man dressed as a chef appeared in front of Rinrin's eyes, looked up and down, and threw out a bag of garbage, "This is the back kitchen, please move to the front hall door for dinner." ”
His voice was very cold, and before Rin could say anything, he had already clearly ordered the eviction.
"Wait a minute, you can take a look at this first, and decide where to entertain me."
As she spoke, Rin took out Yunyin's work card from the inside pocket of her clothes and shook it in front of the chef's eyes.
"There's too much food waste, and someone has to clean it up and take what they need."
Rin glanced sideways at the bag of garbage that had just been thrown out, and at first glance it sounded like a casual remark, but when it reached the chef's ears, it was obvious that it meant something.
Seeing that it was Yun Yin's person, the chef lowered his guard a little.
After all, this kind of shady news trading has already offended many people in the open and in the dark. Therefore, without the guarantee of identity or regular customers, they will not easily let idle people enter and exit it.
"What, is it okay? Or do you pride yourself on the scale of this world, so you don't plan to do Yunyin's business? ”
Behind the mask, the man couldn't see the look of Rin and her expression at the moment.
I felt that the tone of the cold was too harsh, neither the cowardice and softness that a little girl of her age should have, nor the unreasonable anger.
Yes, it's just an unquestionable aura.
"How can it be, Yunyin needs us somewhere, Xiao Sheding will do his best to help." The chef was obviously defeated by the aura, and immediately softened his tone.
"Then lead the way."
Rin retrieved her ID and was about to step through the back kitchen door, but was stopped by the chef's outstretched hand.
"I'm sorry, we have our own rules here, please stay here for a while, and when it gets darker, someone will come to receive you."
With that, the chef closed the small door of the back kitchen.
Rin Rin was stunned when she saw this, why didn't she hear that the business that sold the news was still open for a limited time?
Feeling disbelieving, she reached for the door, trying to ask more clearly.
“…… Locked, locked?! ”
Rin instantly blackened, but there was no other way. After looking around again, I finally had to choose a slightly cleaner small step and sat down.
Until the night breeze struck, this small alley, which was not spacious, was actually full of people.
In this night, it is very dark, and there are no street lights, and people with different masks gather in twos and threes, which is not as eye-catching as imagined.
So, the chef didn't lie to her, she came too early?
Rin Rin, who sighed secretly, it was stupid to waste her time waiting here for so long.
As the number of passers-by on the street decreased, the door to the back kitchen finally opened again.
There were still a few bags of garbage thrown out of it, and nothing else. It wasn't until a moment later, when a sign was hung in the main hall of the restaurant that the entire alley was completely darkened.
In addition to the sound of each other's breathing, there was only the itching of the evening breeze passing through the ears.
"Everyone, please come with me."
Suddenly, a man's voice seemed to fall from the sky.
Immediately afterward, I saw a figure actually jumping down from the top of my head. Like a black crow falling from the sky, it fell defenselessly like a crowd.
And with the appearance of that person, the people who had been walking around boredly together also got out of the way.
Seeing this, Rin also stood up and joined the others, inconspicuously blending in.
"Please also trouble everyone to line up and come to me one by one~" The man's tone was very relaxed, and he patted his palm twice along with the words.
That patience is quite like teaching kindergarten children. But it's unspeakable, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
At least Rin didn't like this way of speaking.
Most of the people who saw the scene again seemed to be regular customers who had been here many times, and they had already walked over one by one without waiting for the person to say more.
Then, I saw the man stretch out his hand and gently swipe his palm over everyone's eyes.
Rin didn't know what such an action meant, but until the hand flickered in front of her eyes, she clearly felt a stream of spiritual power fall on her eyes like a drop of water.
In the cold touch, there is also a hint of numbness and crispiness.
Immediately afterward, she felt that it was pitch black in front of her, as if something was covering her eyes, and no matter how she turned her eyes, it was a dark shroud.
"It's ......"
Rin spoke, but her composure remained, without showing any nervousness or panic.
"It seems that this young lady is here for the first time. But don't worry, this is just a temporary means of protection for ourselves, and when we get inside, we will naturally recover. ”
As he spoke, the man counted the number of people present with his fingers.
And after making sure that everyone was temporarily blind, he took off the leather gloves on his hands without hurry, attached his palms to the wall behind them, and gently pushed them.
With the faint sound of the stone wall rubbing against the sand, one of the walls in the narrow alley opened like a gate.
