Chapter 545: Tracing the Roots
I immediately got up and went to close the blackout curtains first.
Sure enough, the effect was very noticeable, and as the room went from bright to dark, I immediately felt that the feeling of being blocked in my nostrils seemed to loosen slightly.
Slightly loosened, but still unable to breathe.
I looked around and felt that the blackout curtains were not obvious enough, because I could still see clearly in the room, so I immediately picked up the quilt on the bed, went into the bathroom, and closed the bathroom door.
The reason why I went in with the quilt was because the bathroom door was stained glass, which was not see-through, but it was light-seeping.
After that, I shook off the quilt and held the corners of the quilt with both hands, trying to cover the entire glass door as tightly as possible.
I did cover it tightly, because the bathroom was immediately plunged into darkness with no fingers visible.
In that instant, my nostrils cleared and my mouth sounded.
I was greedily breathing and gasping for breath almost through my nostrils and mouth.
Even though the smell in the bathroom was not good, at that moment, for the first time in my life, I felt that the air was so sweet and delicious.
At the same time, in my heart, there is a sense of happiness and gratitude.
I'm glad I'm still alive, and I'm grateful to the Genting Daoist for letting his disciples pass on my breath-holding kung fu, so that I can survive this catastrophe, almost escaping death.
I don't know what happened to the shadow, but I don't think it's going to go away.
It's just that in the complete absence of light, it is no longer able to control me, and it may even crawl through the crack in the door to the place where there is light outside.
But I can't stay in the bathroom all the time, and I still have to get out of the bathroom to face this strange and terrifying black shadow to get rid of this threat once and for all.
Thankfully, I already knew how to survive, so I'll be back in the bathroom in a minute.
So I took a deep breath and started to work on the breath-holding kung fu, and then I put down my arm that was already sore, held the quilt in one hand, and opened the glass door with the other and walked out.
The shadow seems to be gone, and probably understands that it basically can't do anything about me, at most it's just a waste of time with me.
I opened the curtain and looked carefully, and it was true that the shadow had not reappeared, it was really gone.
I didn't dare to go back to sleep, and it wasn't very far from boarding anyway, so I just packed up and went out and took a taxi straight to the airport.
Unexpectedly, when I was still in the taxi, Jin Yuan called me and said, "Brother Gao, that ...... The Shadow came to you? ”
I was about to ask him how he would know, and then I thought that they had surveillance equipment installed in my room.
Yesterday, I originally wanted to transfer to another hotel, but because Plang went back to country F, I immediately booked a ticket to fly to country F today, thinking that I would just stay one more night, and there would be no trouble in transferring to a hotel.
So I changed my words.
"Yes, the black shadow has looked for me, since you saw the surveillance, why didn't you hurry in to save me?"
"Brother Gao, you really misunderstood us! We installed this surveillance, just in case, never dare to monitor your behavior at all times, this is also just the security manager confirmed that you have left the hotel, after consulting my opinion, ready to delete all the surveillance video in your room, inadvertently found that you behaved abnormally, this quickly notified me! ”
His words made me feel a lot more comfortable.
So I softened my tone and said, "If that's the case, I can understand!" Don't worry, I already know how to deal with this strange black shadow, and I will definitely find a way to investigate and find out who is behind it! ”
"Yes, yes, we believe, we really believe! I really didn't expect that Brother Gao would have such a great ability at such a young age! I see you...... I fell to the ground for more than ten minutes, as if I couldn't breathe all the time, more than ten minutes, how could it be...... It's incredible that you survived, it's incredible! ”
"It's nothing, I've practiced a kind of kung fu, and if I don't breathe for a while, I won't die!" I replied calmly.
"Yes, it's very, very remarkable! But...... What should others do if they encounter this kind of thing? I saw you close the curtains first, and then follow ...... It seems to have gone into the bathroom with a quilt, but after that the light in the room was too dark for the surveillance video to see anything clearly, and it was only about ten minutes before you came out of the bathroom. What did you do in the bathroom? The Dark Shadow...... Have you already killed you? ”
"If I had the ability to kill that black shadow, I wouldn't have to rush to Country F now!" I replied with a wry smile, "It's just that I know how to deal with that black shadow, and that black shadow knows that it can't help me, so it's automatically gone!" ”
"That's that...... What to do with the shadow? Jin Yuan blurted out a question.
"Quite simply, under what circumstances does the shadow not exist?" I asked rhetorically.
Jin Yuan paused there for a moment before asking tentatively.
"I see you...... Carrying the bed quilt into the bathroom, isn't it...... Complete darkness will make the dark shadow ...... Can't hurt anyone? ”
"That's right!" I smiled, "So you might as well prepare a fully enclosed dark room at home, stay calm when attacked by this dark shadow, just hide in the dark room, and you'll be fine!" If there is no dark room, then prepare a thick quilt, as long as you can isolate the light source, you should be able to get rid of the dark shadow! ”
"Good, good, great! Brother Gao, you don't know how scared I am these days, for fear that the black shadow will find me next! Now that I've heard you, I think I've saved my life! Brother Gao, don't worry, as long as you can save your life, I will urge our chairman to fulfill his promise! ”
His so-called chairman's promise is naturally to pay us $30 million for the "supernatural" investigation alliance.
I knew that Jin Yuan was extremely trusted by Li Hanxiang, but listening to his words today, it seems that I still underestimated his status in the Dingzhen Group.
I was busy thanking Jin Yuan on the phone, and when I hung up the phone, I also felt very happy.
Since joining the "supernatural" investigation alliance in the past few years, he has received a high salary from the alliance every year, and until today, he has finally earned a considerable profit for the alliance.
I used to think that the alliance would only run on fundraising, but now I suddenly realized that a survey from a large group like this is probably the biggest source of revenue for our alliance.
For example, the 30 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is nearly 200 million, and then converted into 1 million per year, which is enough to pay the salary of 20 investigators for the entire ten years.
Therefore, my high salary is not high in comparison, and I can be more at ease when it comes to receiving my salary in the future.
I found a restaurant at the airport to eat, and after waiting for a while, I got on the plane and flew to country F.
Gao Lingkai's plane from the southern city of our country arrived in Anila, the capital of country F, two hours earlier than me, and when I got off the plane, he had already booked a hotel.
I went directly to the hotel to meet Gao Lingkai, put down my luggage and went to dinner.
When I was having dinner, I told him about this case in detail, and Gao Lingkai first listened to it again and again, and said: "Why are the cases we encountered more bizarre than the other, and one more weird than the other?" The shadow can also move automatically, and it can also block people's mouths and noses, and when you think about it, you feel hairy! ”
"yes!" I nodded, "When I first came into contact with this case, I felt that a shadow would actually move on its own, it was unimaginable, but ...... Before I came here today, the shadow actually found me directly! ”
I told what happened this morning, and Gao Lingkai was so shocked that he swallowed his saliva again and again.
It wasn't until I finished speaking, that I was sitting in front of him intact, and he couldn't help but ask me more: "Are you really okay?" ”
"Of course it's fine, you think you're talking to a ghost right now!" I looked at him amusedly.
Gao Lingkai let out a long breath and said, "This is you, if I encounter this situation, I will definitely die!" ”
"Not necessarily!" I said, "Don't forget that you are bolder than me, and you dare to open up at every turn!" So if you were in this situation, you might not be as flustered as I was! ”
Gao Lingkai was a little embarrassed by my praise, scratching his scalp and laughing.
The territory of country F is composed of thousands of islands, large and small, of which the two largest islands, one in the south and one in the north, occupy 70% of the land area of country F. And Plang lives in the city of Orange, which is the southern island of Orang and the second largest island in country F.
To get from Anilla to the city of Aurang, it takes a whole day to get there by boat. I thought that Plangue had left a day before me, and that even if he had taken the boat, it would be time to return to Orange.
And it was really torture for me to take a boat with Gao Lingkai for a whole day, so although we were not very worried about the domestic low-cost airlines in country F, we still chose to fly from Anila to Aurang City.
Arriving in Aurang in the afternoon, we first found a hotel to put our luggage in, and then went out to find Plange according to the address given by Jin Yuan.
Long before I came to country F, I had already learned from the Internet that country F not only has a huge gap between the rich and the poor. On the surface, it is a democratic system, but in reality the whole country is in the hands of the wealthy aristocracy and political families. The so-called democratic votes are nothing more than the emperor's new clothes.
In addition, Country F is also a world-famous "kidnapping country", with many gangs and gangs in the country, and underworld forces are rampant.
Plangue himself is the leader of a gang, and his gang is one of the largest in the city of Aurang.
This gang is called the Black Shark Gang when translated into Chinese.
We hailed a taxi and asked the taxi driver to take us directly to the Black Shark Gang's main hall.
I don't want the driver to be so old for a long time that he told us something that shocked us.
