Chapter Seventy-Six: The Note in the Crystal Ball
After learning from Rubio that the Guardian Clan had been wiped out, Lin Yuedong was ready to embark on an Indiana Jones-style adventure in the entire ruins, a carpet search to find the magic stone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info didn't expect the Holt company to be so sensible, and specially kept Xie Lifa, who guarded the magic stone, as a living mouth, which is really lucky.
Of course, it's not that they specifically help Lin Yuedong, it's just that they also need to leave a living mouth to ask for the way to the inner ruins.
But in this way, the situation is much simpler: as long as you manage to rescue Xie Lifa, you can get the magic stone and leave, without thinking too much about other problems.
Speaking of which, cooperating with the Holt Company, interrogating Xie Lifa together, and forcibly seizing the magic stone after asking for the passage is also a way. It's just that Xie Lifa has been in their hands for a long time, and until now they haven't been able to pry Xie Lifa's mouth open and get information to open the inner ruins, which shows that Xie Lifa's will is very tenacious, and he doesn't know how to torture to extract confessions, and it is useless to cooperate, so he can only try to be gentle.
It's just that in this case, the badge that he deliberately threw away in order to get information from Rubio becomes an obstacle. If she hadn't had that, she wouldn't have believed herself even if she had gone to great lengths to rescue Shella from the Holt Company, which was stronger than Baxter and Rojos combined.
I should have gotten a replica if I had known...... No, Rubio and others are not stupid, it is easy to be seen through with fakes, and at that time they had to use the real thing, so there was no choice.
In short, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, first find out enough information, and then talk about rescuing people. This Antonio is so clear about the situation of Cherifa, I am afraid that it is not only out of the instinct and curiosity of the intelligence officer.
"Antonio, I'm guessing you didn't just investigate this Cherifa." Lin Yuedong said with a smile.
"Haha, as the head of intelligence of the Baxter Gang, it is my job to collect all the intelligence that can be gathered, and the intelligence of the Holt Corporation is naturally no exception. Why, do you want to know more? I didn't expect you to be so interested in Holt. Antonio said meaningfully.
"Do you doubt what I think about Holt? My interest is to make money, not to die. Lin Yuedong scoffed at the meaning of his words, "To tell you the truth, I do have some ideas about the treasures in the ruins, but that is also under the premise of having a life flower." I wouldn't do a business that's too risky. ”
"It's best if you think so. The Holt company is a behemoth, don't provoke it if you have nothing to do. Antonio warned.
"Don't worry, I'm sure. But you should tell me more about this Xie Lifa, if I can help the Holt Company open the inner ruins, how much will it cost! Lin Yuedong looked very yearning.
"You don't necessarily make money from this person, Xie Lifa has been in the hands of the Holt Company for two months, and the Holt Company has not been able to open the inner treasure until now, it can be seen that this person is extremely tight, and you can't do anything." Antonio said disapprovingly.
"Don't be so hasty to make up your mind, maybe I have an idea, and there is a way? Tell me about it. Lin Yuedong instigated.
"Actually, I don't know much. Aside from the existence of Shelifa, all they know is that they seem to be keeping Shelifa together with some stupid thief who once sneaked into the ruins to try to get something. Speaking of which, they use the word 'prison' when they talk about that place, but who would be bored to build a prison around the ruins of the hidden treasure? I guess it's a synonym for the place of detention. Antonio said.
"Locked up with some stupid thieves?"
"yes, what is it that is trying to steal things under the nose of the Holt Corporation, not a stupid thief?"
Not necessarily. If Scarlett Fox is still alive, eighty percent of them are among these "stupid thieves". However, Lin Yuedong didn't plan to tell Antonio about this speculation: "That's what I said." In this way, I really don't have much room to play. ”
"If you want to make more money, you better concentrate on helping our Baxter gang. Now that we have unified St. Miguel and annexed the business of Rojos, we can use this as a basis for development in the whole country, not on the whole continent, in the whole world. Everyone here has a bright future! Antonio imagines the future.
"That's right. But I'm having a bit of a headache right now - where can I find this two-course cook? Lin Yuedong said jokingly.
"Far away, close at hand." Antonio moved a little further towards the center of the long table, "I didn't say those two dishes casually, it was because I knew you could get the cook that I asked for it." ”
Lin Yuedong looked in the direction of his finger, but it was Lin Xiaonuo who was sandwiched between several business representatives with an impatient face.
"She'll still cook those two dishes? That's a very demanding cook! Lin Yuedong said.
"Didn't she tell you? Her parents are both very good chefs, and they can be regarded as family education. Although her parents died young, the recipes and some special techniques were recorded and passed on to her, and she is now the best Chinese chef in town. Antonio said and sighed, "Ah, I have lobbied her several times to open a Chinese restaurant, but she didn't agree, it's a pity." ”
Lin Yuedong rolled his eyes secretly. Nonsense, her parents died at the hands of the gangsters, so it's strange that she would cook for you guys. It's better to say that she is still willing to open a tavern, which is already forced by life.
At the beginning, the Holt Company did not invite her to help in the banquet, and in the end, the Holt Company specially invited the chef from China. But if you ask for it, she'll say yes. After all, that's the kind of relationship you have with her. Antonio said with a winkled glance at Lin Yuedong.
"You've got it right!" Lin Yuedong laughed, "Okay, I'll lobby you!" ”
When he walked to Lin Xiaonuo's side, he saw that she was boredly poking a snail with a knife, scattering it like a lump of meat puree. Her seat happened to be between several representatives of the Baxter Gang's important business partners, which meant to look at the sister and respect the sister. It's just that Lin Xiaonuo and those forty or fifty-year-old shopping mall/underworld bosses have any common language? Sitting here without even saying a word, it also hurt her.
"Arnold, come here." He patted Lin Xiaonuo on the shoulder and gestured to the door.
Lin Xiaonuo immediately put down the knife and fork, folded the napkin casually and threw it on the chair, and followed Lin Yuedong to the corridor outside the door: "Oh my God, I'm so bored, I don't even have someone to talk to, I really shouldn't have agreed to their invitation to come to the banquet in the first place." ”
"Banquets are such things, you should have prepared them in advance." Lin Yuedong shrugged his shoulders, "I came out of you because I just found out a piece of information from Antonio that may be very important, and in return, I promised him to persuade you to make him boiling cabbage and fried double crispy in oil." ”
"Huh? Do you want me to cook for him? Don't even think about it! No surprise, Lin Xiaonuo refused.
"I knew you were going to say that...... It's never too late for you to listen to this information before refusing. Antonio said the Holt company caught some of the thieves and put them in jail. If your sister fell into the hands of the Holt company, then I think it's probably in this prison. Lin Yuedong said.
Of course, there is also a possibility that it will be killed when it falls into the hands of the Holt company, and then everything will be over. However, a master of this level should not die so easily. After all, according to Lin Xiaonuo, Scarlett often acts without superpowers, and she must have a hand in how to save her life without superpowers.
"Then we must get her out!" Lin Xiaonuo became excited.
"Of course. It's just that the strength of the Holt company is not ordinarily strong, and it should not be acted rashly. Besides, this is just a guess on my part, and it is not necessarily true. ”
"So what do we do?"
"If only your sister had left some clues. At present, the information is not complete enough to make further judgments. The Holt company is so mysterious that even the people of Baxter don't know whether their regional head is male or female, and what he looks like......"
Lin Yuedong suddenly felt that something was wrong. The regional head of the Holt company is so mysterious that he doesn't even show up for the reception, could it be that it is the same as last time, "in fact, it is Leto"?
Probably not...... The person in charge of that region was here two months ago, and Leto shouldn't have been in this world for so long, otherwise he would have taken the magic stone and left.
"Clues...... Lin Xiaonuo pondered hard, "My sister should have suddenly encountered a crisis at that time, and it is unlikely that she will leave any clues." If anything, it's a crystal ball, but that only means she's in danger. Besides, a transparent crystal ball can't hide any clues......"
"Transparent?" Lin Yuedong was stunned, "No, there is a white mist in that ball, which is not completely transparent." ”
"Mist?" Lin Xiaonuo Huo Ran raised his head, "Impossible, the crystal ball made by my sister's ability is completely transparent!" Unless...... Lin Yuedong, take out that crystal ball and show it to me! Isn't it my sister's thing? ”
"Damn, don't tell me this is an oolong at this time!" Lin Yuedong only felt speechless for a while. Obviously, she swore so much, and she grabbed it herself, so maybe not? I knew I should have investigated it first, "There's a camera here, let's go to the bathroom." ”
The two quickly flashed into the cubicle of the women's toilet, and Lin Yuedong took out the crystal ball from the storage space and handed it to Lin Xiaonuo.
"Well, that's it, your sister made it, didn't it? Please, don't say no! I'm at the risk of falling out with Baxter for this! ”
"Yes, this is indeed the crystallization of my sister's ability, but such a mist ...... I know! There's a clue here! Lin Xiaonuo's eyes suddenly lit up, "My sister's crystal ball is generally transparent, and making it look like this can only mean that there are some things in the sphere that she doesn't want others to see!" Lin Yuedong, you smash it and try it, be careful not to splash the debris elsewhere, collect them all! ”
"Smashed? Are you sure it's okay? "Lin Yuedong still wants to use it more.
"No problem, trust me. Even if it is smashed, its function will not change, but it can reveal the secrets hidden inside! It's a secret that only our sisters know! Lin Xiaonuo said firmly.
"Since you say so......"
Lin Yuedong condensed an ice bowl on the ground, threw the crystal ball into the ice bowl, and immediately manipulated the ice to extend upward, and the ice bowl quickly turned into a hollow ice ball, sealing all the fragments in the ice ball.
And among the large and small fragments, there is a note full of words placed there!
