Chapter 36: The Ghost Castle
The ghost hunting castle was originally a ruin of the Common Era civilization, it is said that there was a powerful puppet here at that time, and later the ghost hunter regiment hunted it, and also forcibly occupied this place, and surrounded the entire ruins with a wall, as a corps base, because it is located in the shadow area, the Sanye Port government did not ask at that time.
However, after many years of hunting by the Ghost Hunter Corps, the Ghost Hunting Castle has been connected with the safety zone of Sanye Port, and is currently located at the outermost edge of the eastern suburbs of Sangang, and the city walls on both sides of the northeast of the castle are just the dividing line between the shadow area and the safe period.
Being able to establish a stronghold in the shadow area, and being able to keep it safe and sound for a few years, also made the reputation of the originally little-known Ghost Hunter Corps spread rapidly, and under the leadership of Adam, the "Ghost Hunter" who is known as the strongest Lv.4 capable hunter, the Ghost Hunter Regiment quickly grew into the First Hunting Regiment of Sanye Port.
When the Chassesse's Castle came into view, Nanbo was a little disappointed, as it was more like a walled mountain town than a huge castle where a prince or a dragon lived in a fairy tale. But the name always has a source, Nanbo stood on a big tree a hundred meters away from the ghost hunting castle and observed for a while, the whole hunting castle is built on a small hill, there is a stone road leading to the top of the hill within the wall, it is not long about five or six hundred meters, there are one or two story low houses on both sides of the road, only on the top of the hill at the end of the road, there is not so much a small castle, but a hilltop villa in the shape of a castle, the name of the hunting castle probably comes from this.
Nanbo observed for more than ten minutes, except for finding that there were fewer people in the castle, there was nothing abnormal, but it was not uncommon for people to be few, after all, people who went out to hunt at this time could not come back.
I didn't see any problems, but Nanbo didn't leave immediately, but habitually analyzed the terrain of the Hunter Castle, noted the location of some important facilities such as energy depots and parking lots, and planned a few reasonable evacuation routes, before coming down from the tree, checking the equipment, taking out the MX-7 and pinning it to his waist, and cautiously put the three days and moons in the hidden butt on the outside of his calf, and then looked at the time, and at 5:17 in the afternoon, he walked towards the Hunter Castle.
The Ghost Hunt Castle is indeed far from the port of three leaves, but Nanbo relied on the help shoes to take a shortcut, and it should have been there before 4 pm. The reason why it has been delayed until now is because I met an acquaintance on the way.
Shortly after leaving the city of Sanye Port, Nanbo, who was galloping in the dense forest of no man's land, unexpectedly encountered a convoy, the convoy only had 3 cars, but they were all able to move cars, and drove to the shadow area at a very fast speed, Nanbo was a little curious, what kind of character, so few people dared to swagger into the shadow area.
Nan Bo was half out of curiosity, half out of caution, and decided to follow and take a look, and Nan Bo, who had been hanging behind the convoy for half an hour, was surprised to find that the people in the convoy turned out to be Jiang Baiyuan and his party.
The three moving cars drove to the edge of the shadow area, and stopped, a total of 8 people walked out of the car, Nanbo found that he actually knew 6, it was Jiang Baiyuan, Lu Sen, Helena and others, the only two people Nanbo couldn't recognize, one was a middle-aged man in a military uniform, who seemed to have a low military rank, and the other was a young man with red hair, who looked a bit like frivolity, like a kid playing with his crotch.
However, what shocked Nanbo was that the white giant chariot that several people boarded after getting off the car, although Nanbo was far away, he could still see a huge and quaint "Yin" character in front of the chariot.
This white chariot is the largest land-based mobile machine that Nanbo has ever seen, and it is better to say that it is a chariot than a mobile fortress, even if the Devourer, Ouranos, can only be regarded as a small thing in front of this giant chariot.
"Is this what you have to do to hunt the Devourer, Ouranos?" said Nanbo to himself, then turned and left, galloping towards the Ghost Hunt Castle. He was curious about the duel between the two giant chariots and the Devourer, Ouranos, but this kind of big hunt was not a matter of a day or two, and the search for the Devourer alone could take days or even weeks, and he couldn't follow it all the time, so it was important to get down to business for now......
"Click"
After Nan Bo handed the delivery slip into the Ghost Hunt Castle, he waited for about 10 minutes before a small door on the right side of the gate that only allowed one person to pass through opened. A middle-aged man with glasses walked out and said to Nanbo, who was leaning against the door and casually observing the surroundings, "Okay, come in." ”
Nan Bo looked for prestige, and the person who came out to pick him up was a little unexpected, not like a hunter, but a bit like a profiteer, but he still followed the other party into the ghost hunting castle.
"Then why don't you contact you and come here! I really don't know the rules. ”
Nan Bo followed the middle-aged man all the way, and the middle-aged man interrogated Nan Bo as he walked, and when he heard Nan Bo say that he decided to send it over without authorization, he said with some annoyance.
"Hehe, uncle, don't be angry, I'm not afraid that you will be in a hurry, afraid of delay." Nanbo said with a smile.
"Hmph, you're afraid that you won't get paid, little guy." The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"I can't hide anything, uncle, if I hand over the goods, but I can't get anything, how can I explain to the upper family, isn't this smashing the signboard of our wind chaser, I will definitely be dismantled by Boss Lu when I go back." Nan Bo pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"You are the carrier pigeon of the Wind Chaser, no wonder you dare to run over alone, then who are you in the house, such a simple transaction has to find the Wind Chaser as a middleman, this is not to believe in the credibility of our Ghost Hunting Regiment." The middle-aged man glanced at Nan Bo from the corner of his eye, and said with some displeasure.
"I don't know who the upper family is, it's Gray's Su boss's line, of course we don't dare not take it, but I see that the upper family seems to be a woman, and the thief is beautiful, and the body is hot! There's really nothing to say. ”
Nan Bo deliberately said that he was Lu Kui's person, just to test whether he was a wind chaser, but he didn't expect the other party to suspect it at all, and he didn't seem to be interested in this topic. And although the middle-aged man covered it up well, Nan Bo naturally heard it, the other party seemed to care about the identity of the family, and then remembered that if the other party deliberately let him leave his contact information and address, then it was very likely that this matter was aimed at Fran. So Nan Bo hurriedly withdrew a few lies, and dragged Su Zhe into the water by the way, which also meant a bit of a fox and a fake tiger.
"Hmph, you're starting to think about women. Su Zhe? Pretty woman? Could it be Roland? The middle-aged man asked casually, but the corner of his eye kept staring at Nanbo.
"No, no, Roland is a beautiful woman, how could I not know it, listening to that woman's voice is not like that of the Western Wilderness, like from Zhongzhou." Nanbo intentionally or unintentionally pulled the water to Jiang Baiyuan and his party.
The middle-aged man asked seemingly casually, but he kept staring at the owner of the radar, which made Nanbo very vigilant, seeing that this stone road was about to be completed, and the gate of the castle on the top of the hill was only a few dozen meters away, Nanbo was wondering if he should find a reason to slip away, after all, if this matter was really aimed at Fran, I am afraid that it would not be as easy to deal with as he imagined.
But just as he wanted to open his mouth to urinate, Nanbo felt a sudden flash in the dark corner of the castle hall with the open door in front of him, and the fleeting reflection made his heart cold. Since Nanbo was injured and became color blind, he is more sensitive to the intensity of light than normal people, which makes it a fact that blind people's ears are better than normal people.
Therefore, the fleeting reflection just now is very close to the same thing in terms of shape and position, and light perception.
Nanbo looked carefully into the depths of the hall again, but because the sunlight outside was too strong and the inside was dark, he couldn't really see it. It can only be seen that the hall is designed with a cathedral insulating glass roof.
Nan Bo silently calculated, the angle of the sun, his position just now, and the refraction angle between the luminous points, and found that the reflective surface just now was really facing him, which made Nan Bo's heart half cold.
"What are you going to do?" The middle-aged man who was obviously walking in front pretending to be very casual asked sharply at the moment when Nan Bo put his hand into his waist pocket.
"Huh? When I take the goods out, don't I want to trade? Uncle, what are you nervous about, I'm afraid that I'll take out a gun, do I want to rob the headquarters of your Ghost Hunter Corps? Nanbo took out the energy detection radar, shook it in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and then said with an innocent face.
"Hmph, don't move when you go in, you can answer whatever the adults ask you." The middle-aged man said sharply as if his face had changed.
"Oh." Nanbo replied casually, but thought in his heart, "Are you too lazy to continue acting?" ”
Then he hurriedly looked at the energy detection radar that was secretly activated by himself in his hand, and in an instant, Nanbo seemed to have fallen into the icy lake in the Arctic, and he was cold from head to toe.
Nanbo took out the energy detection radar and secretly activated it, originally just to determine whether the reflection he saw just now was really a sniper. Now the flashing points of light on the screen of the energy detector give the answer, there is! And it's Lv.5, and moreover! There are 3 of them!
Nanbo looked at the 3 cyan points of light flashing on the screen, and almost wanted to turn around and run wildly. It's a pity that now I've been locked by a sniper.,And the opposite side is a Lv.5 hunt.,I don't necessarily outrun others.。
Fortunately, this kind of test of life and death is not the first time for Nanbo after all, Nanbo took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, looking at the three points of light on the screen and analyzed. Cyan, which represents the energy core of Lv.5, should be two beginner-level Lv.5 and one medium-level Lv.5 from the intensity of the light spot.
From the position, it can be seen that the beginner Lv.5 sniper in the corner is hidden, and the other two should be sitting in the middle of the hall.
"After all, I didn't miss any flaws today, maybe the other party really regarded himself as a carrier pigeon, took the goods and asked a few questions, and let himself go not necessarily, in short, to be calm, only to take one step at a time." Nan Bo thought so in his heart, and naturally followed the middle-aged man in front of him into the hall.
The step of stepping into the hall from outside the door happened to be a step from light to shadow, and this strong contrast of light and darkness made Nanbo feel as if he had stepped from the world into hell.
And when Nan Bo saw clearly the two sturdy men in front of him, one black and one white, who were called 'adults' by middle-aged people, Nan Bo could already be sure that he had indeed stepped into hell with one foot, which may be the closest moment he came to death after escaping from prison three years ago.
