Chapter 17: Zu Lingman
Listen to Shaq. Gray mentioned that the person they were looking for was named Zu Lingman, who was a very rich and handsome, well-known, involved in many fields, and was now the CEO of the "Lingyan Group" in the magic capital. Fan Li has seen his photos and found that his appearance is not ordinary, it must be the type that causes girls to scream wherever he goes, the only fatal flaw in the ointment is that he has a mouthful of uneven messy teeth, so he never shows his teeth when he speaks in public, nor does he smile, if necessary, he just smiles, no one has ever seen him laugh when he was out of shape.
In fact, Fan Li thought that they could go and see Xie Ling's whereabouts again, but Shak. Gray and Jialan agreed that Xie Ling had been targeted by the people of the "Ant Nest", and if he appeared in the Water Snake Corridor in vain, he would definitely not get a good result.
At this moment, it was a quarter of an hour in the afternoon, and they were sitting in the lounge waiting for Zu Lingman's arrival. The equipment here is magnificent, massage chairs, fine teas, all kinds of coffee, but let Shaq. Gray was annoyed that there were no cigars here.
"I've only taken three boxes of cigars with me since I left the 'Ant'Nest', and now that I've finished smoking, I really miss the aromatic smell." Sark. Gray said, rubbing his hands together.
"Then why don't you go and ask Qin Ziyang, she must have a lot of cigars in stock."
"It's not that simple, where there is Qin Ziyang, there may be paparazzi, and there are also Sandlet's spies, he attaches the most importance to Qin Ziyang's position, and he asks her for cigars, isn't he throwing himself into the net?" Sark. Gray said with his tea.
"By the way, I've never heard of you talking about Zu Lingman, didn't he quit the old knights early?" Fan asked Li.
"That's right, Brad was the first to quit, and he's the second. Like Brad, he felt that war was the end and that he was not fit to live in the strife of the 'ant nest'. He prefers to be in business, after decades of hard work. He has already laid down a piece of the world and is in the lead. ”
"So Sandlet isn't eyeing him?"
"Sandlet is just one of Rampa's helpers, he is not a god, and it is impossible for him to know the secrets of the 'Ant Nest', let alone the size of the Old Knights. In fact, many, many of the agents who have been left out are branches developed by the old Knights, and they are scattered all over the place, waiting to return at any time, and this is the complexity of the 'Ant Nest' personnel. There are some people you may be able to see every day until you get bored, and there are others. You'll never see them in your life, or you won't even know who they really are. ”
"It's complicated."
The door in front of him was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked over, his steps were steady, and he didn't look surprised, but that face didn't fit such an identity. Gray's old face, he could even be his son.
"Long time no see, big shark." Zu Lingman sat across from them. I took a sip of the tea I had already brewed.
"I'm sure you've heard the bad news about the 'Ant Nest' too?" Sark. Gray asked.
"Yes, they're after the Old Knights, but I don't think I should be worried."
"After that war, my brothers Justin and Nospol fled to the South. With Crumb. Yang and Jin Ke. Kidd cut contact, and the week before, Sandlet's men had suddenly appeared at our retreat, and the Northpol brothers had been blown up in their car to cover us. Justin and I also lost contact. ”
"What!" Zu Lingman put down the teacup, although he did not show rage, but his slightly trembling hands were able to give an answer. "They...... He's dead? ”
"That's right. Can't come back. The rest of the old knights were hunted down, even the younger agents, and the remnants of the 'Ant Nest' were in danger. ”
"And what do you want me to do?" Zulingman understood Shaq. Gray's words. "I've vowed not to participate in your wars again, but if I can do my part for the legacy of the Ant'Hive and the Rampa, I'm willing."
"I know that I will not touch your principles. We need to resist, but it's a long and painstaking process, first of all, we need a safe place, a hard-to-trace amount of money, and some resources that can at least allow us to make bombs, and I don't think that's too much for you. ”
"That's right, it's not too much, I'll send someone to find such a place as soon as possible, I'll arrange a place for you to live first, you are only three light commanders now, and you don't have an army, why declare war on them." Zulingman looked at Shaq. Gray, in those big black eyes, is a gaze that easily pierces the truth. That's right, Shaq. Even though Gray is powerful, he needs to think about this.
"We have a plan." Sark. Gray raised the corners of his mouth.
"We still have Ye ......"
"Don't think about her just yet." Sark. Gray interrupted Fan Li. "We must find the most stable way, settle down first, I still have a lot of veterans of the 'Ant Nest', gather the other down-and-out 'Ant Nest' people, maybe we can create an army that can resist Sandlet, after all, everyone doesn't want him to completely dominate the 'Ant Nest'."
Out of Zulingman's company, Shaq. Gray took them to settle in a coffee shop, and when he saw the white-bearded old man inside, Fan Li was much more relieved, this was the former stronghold, but Sandlet controlled the inside of the "ant nest" and cut off contact with many contact points on the outer edge, but the clever Shaq. Gray always had a way to reach them.
Fan Lixi was lying on a small bed, and Jialan was lying beside her. His mind was full of scenes of Zhang Xin being killed, regardless of Jialan and Shaq. No matter how Gray persuaded him, he always attributed Zhang Xin's death to his own negligence, he felt that the deaths of Jiao Yang, Konggu, Rose, and Yuan Xiaoxiao were all his fault, but he didn't know what his fault was.
He looked at the ceiling with his arms crossed, and his eyes were getting darker and darker, and he didn't seem to see the light, nor did he see the shadow of Jialan.
He found himself walking on a stone path, and in front of him was a wall, surrounded by fog, and he seemed to see countless phantoms swaying in front of his eyes, they were fluttering, and he could see no details, only outlines.
Where is this?
He was surprised that he had not come to the prairie or the forest, and looked up at the sky, and could not see the sun, moon, or stars, but in the haze, through the mist, he saw something like a spire, and the wall in front of him was the outer edge of a tower, but the edge of it could not be seen to the left and right, as if it were infinitely large.
With such curiosity, Fan Li walked towards one end, and sure enough, next to the wall was the fog, and behind the fog was the wall, and he couldn't walk to the end, but he found that he had been spinning in circles, but when he looked down at his feet, he walked in a straight line. Just as he was puzzled, a large door appeared in front of him, about three or four meters high, and there was a person standing by the door, looking familiar.
"Rose?" Fan Li asked curiously, because he recognized the thin silhouette, the other party did not hear his words, and still stood there quietly, waiting until he walked over, and then suddenly turned his head.
Her speed startled Fan Li, who found that her body was translucent, wearing a school uniform, combing her braids, and looking delicate. Seeing Fan Li, she was also a little puzzled.
"Fan Li?" She asked.
"yes, why are you here?" Fan asked Li.
"yes, why are you here?" Rose also asked. "This is not where you should be."
"But I just came, and when I came, I was safe, an old man told me." Fan Li said and walked towards the gate behind her, not knowing where the courage came from.
Rose grabbed his arm, he had seen Rose translucent before, and thought she was a soul, but now she was real, she could grab her own hand, and he could even feel her body temperature.
"What are you doing, it's not a place for you to get in." Although Rose was anxious, her tone was flat and contradictory.
"I know, and I know it's my dream." Fan Fox broke free of the roses, walked in, and found a gloom, blue filling the whole world, flashing blue floors, bubbling blue oil lamps, and hanging ...... from the ceiling Blue corpse ......
Seeing those things, Fan Li was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, those were human corpses, one by one their faces were rotten, shrouded in blue light, it was even more terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that they were only less than half a meter away from Fan Li, and this look up was clear to see.
"I've said it, this isn't the place for you." Rose explained.
"Damn, it's been a long time since I've seen anything like this, and if it was, I'd be able to withstand it." Having walked past those dead people, Fan Li still didn't forget to look back at them, they each stared at the front with wide eyes, just now Fan Li happened to walk under the person, the other party was staring at him, can he not be afraid.
"By the way, why are you okay?" Fan Li looked back at the rose, and when she heard this, she bowed her head slightly.
"Maybe, I shouldn't have come, I've been here for a long time, and I haven't been able to find my place."
"Where is this?" Fan asked Li.
"I ...... I don't know, I thought I was dead, I saw my own body, I saw your failure, but then, I floated to this place, and when I opened my eyes, I saw all the blue, but except for blue, it was blue, and now, I was sad, I couldn't find my way, I didn't know how long I had been dead, did I have to forget myself here? ”
"No, I think I have a way." Fan Li said, the blue flame had already rushed out of the back of his hand, merging with the surrounding environment, and at this time, a gust of wind howled in front of him, blowing away the smoke on the back of his hand, and he subconsciously pushed the rose behind him.
"Who?" He shouted in front of him, all blue light in front of him, all blue, no different from all black, still he couldn't see anything, but he could feel what was in front of him, because there was already a faint sound in his ears, it seemed to be a slight dog barking?
At this time, a giant beast rushed out of the blue, Fan Li's rose knocked down, the giant beast crossed his head, and then another, it just ran in front of Fan Li, only to hear a thunderclap, it lost its ferocity, turned around and ran behind him, at this time, a concave and convex figure appeared in the blue light, it was a woman, who looked in excellent shape.
