This demon concubine's attitude changed so quickly, I was puzzled for a while, and asked her: "What deal?" ”

The demon concubine said, "I can help you find the person you are looking for." And you only need to do one thing for me, what do you think? ”

I smiled and said, "Demon Princess, you are such a strange person. Why do you think we're going to make a deal with you? You know who we are, we know your background, do you think there is a possibility of a cooperative transaction between us? ”

The Demon Concubine ignored my sarcasm and said, "Then I'll speak more thoroughly." You don't even know where Shen Mengzhe is now, and you don't even have the slightest clue about your companion who disappeared last night, and you have lost the equipment you brought. Again, this is not your territory, and many things are far more complicated than you think. ”

After a pause, the Demon Concubine continued: "Since I can find out about you, I can naturally find out the information you need, I don't think you need to doubt this, right?" So the deal I'm proposing is still very good for you. ”

An Beimo and I glanced at each other, thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you need us to help you do?" ”

The Demon Concubine was silent for a moment and said, "There is an island in the eastern part of Japan, with an area of about 3,000 square kilometers. It doesn't have a name yet, it's a nameless island. Of course, there is no name because it is not in the territory of Japan at all. ”

Speaking of this, the Demon Concubine looked up at us, and said in a low but serious voice, "I want you to help me get this island. ”

I think what the demon concubine said at this moment is a bit fantastical.

Qixing didn't hold back and asked directly, "How is this possible?" Who do you think of us? What can we do to help you get an island from the Japanese government? You're kidding! ”

The demon concubine said seriously: "I never joke! This island emerged from the bottom of the sea, and as for when and why it appeared, I don't know, and probably no one knows. But I know for sure that it's not part of Japan. It was also by chance that I discovered it. ”

Seven stars wanted to say more, but I stopped them with my eyes.

The demon concubine looked at me and said, "Don't misunderstand what I mean, what I mean by getting it is not that I need the consent of the Japanese government, but that you can let my people land on that island smoothly." ”

She obviously had something to say, which couldn't help but arouse my curiosity. I said to the Princess, "Then please explain to us what it means to get your people on that island!" As for whether we can help you, I will find out before I can give you an answer. ”

The demon concubine smiled lightly and said, "Things are not as complicated as you think. So, after the island appeared, I sent several groups of people to investigate the site, but all the people who went there lost contact, and no one has returned, not even the boat. ”

As she spoke, the Demon Concubine glanced at all of us, and finally looked at me again, saying, "I'm curious about what's going on there. I heard that you are a professional team in dealing with unknown and mysterious areas. So I'd like to ask you to come to the island and help me investigate what's wrong with that island. ”

Shen Hao couldn't help but say, "You don't even know what's on that island, your people may have already died there." You let us go, didn't you let us go to death? We won't accede to your request. ”

The demon concubine looked at me, ignored Shen Hao's words, and asked me, "Who of you has the final say?" ”

I said, "These are my teammates, we are equals, different from your subordinates. And he's right, you're risking our lives. ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry!" The concubine replied to me, "All I ask is to ask you to do what you are good at, and I will solve for you what you are not good at." I think this deal is fair! ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, the Demon Concubine continued: "Maybe the situation is not that serious, my people are just trapped there. Maybe you go and the problem will be solved. Of course! If you don't dare to go, you can refuse me, and today I will not come. ”

It was obvious that the provocation in her words was provoking me, and I naturally would not be impulsive because of two sentences. I mentally weighed the pros and cons, and maybe this deal was viable.

I thought about it for a moment and looked at my teammates. They understood what I meant from my eyes, An Beimo and Qixing nodded slowly, and Shen Hao glared at me.

After getting everyone's reply, I said, "I can promise to make this deal with you, but I have one condition!" ”

The demon concubine raised her hand and said, "Please speak!" ”

I said, "I asked to see my two teammates, as well as Shen Mengzhe, when we came back from the island. In other words, you have to find them and bring them to us unscathed. ”

The demon concubine's thin eyebrows twitched slightly, and she was silent for a while. I could tell she was thinking that the conditions I had proposed were not so easy to do.

"If you don't think you have the ability," I chuckled, "you can say no!" "When I found an opportunity, I unceremoniously countered her.

My request was in line with my teammates, and they all stared at the princess to see how she answered.

After about a minute, the Demon Concubine said, "Okay, I can promise you. But I have to make it clear in advance that they were all alive until I found them, otherwise I wouldn't be in breach of contract. ”

I readily agreed, "Okay, no problem! ”

An Beimo, who had not spoken all this time, spoke at this time: "We need some equipment and weapons, and we need the demon concubine to prepare them for us." ”

The demon concubine replied: "No problem, you can make a list of what you need, and I will let my subordinates arrange it for you." With that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

The sound of footsteps came, Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai walked over together, stood behind the demon concubine, bowed together and said respectfully: "President! ”

The demon concubine said to me, "We should not have seen each other since we left here today. They will take care of everything that follows. If you have any needs, you can tell them, and they can represent me with full authority! ”

After speaking, the demon concubine got up and said goodbye. I stood up and shook her hand, and the deal was done. The Demon Princess's hands were very thin and slippery, and they were a little cold.

Sending us back to the room, Kobayashi Arashi handed me a cell phone and told me that it had her and Haruko Sakai's phone numbers in it. The phone is secure, no one will listen to them, and they can be contacted at any time within 24 hours.

I thanked them, and they left.

After closing the door, Shen Hao couldn't bear it anymore and immediately asked me, "Why did we agree to make this deal with that demon concubine?" It's a conspiracy. ”

I said, "Haven't you found it yet?" Our every move is under their watch. They just waited until we were in trouble and had no choice before they showed up to talk to us. One more day of delay in saving people will be more dangerous, and we simply can't refuse. ”

Shen Hao said disapprerovingly: "We can contact the country to send reinforcements, there is no need to rely on them." ”

Qixing said to Shen Hao on the side: "Our situation cannot be given any help by China, we are acting secretly, and we can only find a way to solve any problems that arise." At present, this transaction with the Demon Concubine is the most direct and effective way. ”

In fact, Shen Hao, who said Qixing, also understood that he was a little unwilling to be at the mercy of others. After listening to Qixing's words, he sat down on the sofa a little dejected and stopped talking.

I asked An Beimo: "Why do you think this demon concubine is so interested in a desert island?" ”

An Beimo replied: "It is estimated that there is an important energy source hidden there, and I guess it may be a mineral deposit." She leaned back on her desk, crossed her arms and shoulders and continued: "Japan is a country with extremely scarce mineral deposits, and some people even jokingly call Japan a 'metal resource standard country', and many minerals are imported from Japan, which shows how much demand they have for minerals." ”

I agreed, "In other words, if the Demon Princess's organization can control a rich mineral deposit, then their status in Japan will not be the same. It is not even impossible to enter Japanese politics through this. ”

Shen Hao said in a staggered manner: "My God, if this is the case, this demon concubine's ambition is big enough. I really can't see that she, a Chinese woman, can mix to such an extent in Japan. ”

I said, "I guess there is a bigger force behind her." So I think rescuing Hugo, Burton, and Shen Mengzhe shouldn't be a problem for her, and it's worth the risk! ”

Seven Stars said, "I hope she can do what she says." ”

Then we started talking about what equipment we needed, and there were special equipment that was only available to D.R.T. and we had to look for alternatives. After an hour of busyness, a list was made.

I immediately dialed Kobayashi's phone and took a picture of the list and passed it to her. Kobayashi Lan said on the phone to give her a little time, and let me know as soon as she was ready.

Considering that things have changed one after another, I feel it is necessary to report it. So I went out on the street and used the public phone to get in touch with my superiors in the country and report everything that had happened to us.

For us, the superiors did not give any instructions, let us follow our own plan, and if the leader has any orders, we will be notified separately.

This result was similar to what I expected, we carried out the tasks outside, and basically all of them acted autonomously, and the leaders did not interfere too much. However, after putting down the phone, I was still a little disappointed.

Another day later, in the afternoon, Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai came and said that everything we wanted was ready, and it was in the basement of this hotel.

I didn't expect them to be quite efficient.

Haruko Sakai spread out a map of Japan on her desk and invited us to come closer, and she pointed out where the island was on the map.

Looking at Haruko Sakai in the sea area on the east side of the map of Japan, she drew a mark with a pencil and wrote down the specific coordinates there.

She told us that the seabed is very complicated, with many deep-sea canyons, so the surrounding sea conditions are not very good. In addition, there is a long period of rainfall, and the climate is relatively harsh, so there are generally no boats going there.

I asked her what was going on on the island, and she said it was mostly rocks and countless caves. Moreover, there is no communication signal there, not even satellites can survey it, and the only bit of information that is now is taken by a camera on the periphery of the island.

When it comes to the lack of information, Haruko Sakai keeps apologizing to us, saying that they have done their best, but they can only get this information. I don't think so, because the nature of our work is to explore the unknown, so little or no information doesn't affect us much.
