Chapter 6 Clouds from all directions
The first woman in a blue knee-length tight skirt, the voice just now was made by her, with short black hair, outstanding posture, but there was a hint of fierceness at the eyebrows, slender fingers, a little blue in the rounded nails, flesh-colored stockings below the knees, and a pair of high heels of the same color as the clothes, although the posture was graceful, it always gave people a strong sense of alienation.
Among the few people who followed behind, there were two men in black who seemed to be siblings, both of them were tall and strong, with a face that looked like a butcher in a butcher's shop, a pair of fleshy palms seemed to contain violent power, and on almost identical faces, others could only distinguish the two from the difference in the scars on their faces.
The other two men, one tall and one short, were well-proportioned, and even in the room they were dressed in gray masking cloaks, and the pattern of the handshakes of weapons exposed from their waists was suspiciously discerning that the tall man was a thin sword, and the short man was two daggers.
The woman who fell at the end was masked with a light veil, her face could not be seen clearly, and she was wearing a long black loose skirt, so that outsiders could not see her figure, but the green hair was impressive. Although I didn't see any movement from her, I only felt that the air around her body was hazy, as if she was constantly changing between illusion and reality.
Several people came to stand in front of Trist, glanced at the wooden staff in Trist's hand again, and then bent down in unison to salute.
"Well, all three of you have arrived. Liana, how long has it been? Trist didn't stop and walked towards the restaurant on the left on the first floor.
"It's been three days since I arrived with Blackfire, the Vess brothers arrived yesterday morning, and Hart and Rune arrived early this morning. The woman in blue named Liana replied respectfully.
"How's the preparation going, the message from the elders is that everything you need is with you. Trist sat at the head of the table, put the wooden staff aside, leaned back on the high-backed chair, and the whole process should have been a habit that had been cultivated for many years.
"Everything was brought. As she spoke, Liana waved her hand, and saw more than a dozen metal parts, large and small, flying out of the hem of her skirt and neatly placed on the dining table.
"Davis, Hart, take out what you've got. Trist continued to order.
"Yes, sir. Among the Vis brothers, the big Tris and the tall Hart with scars in the corners of their eyes gestured, and each took out a broken stone and placed it in front of Trist's eyes. Trist looked at the stone in front of him, and took out one from his pocket, but it was larger than the other two, and the three stones seemed to sense each other's presence, floated into the air, and then merged into one to form a regular hexagonal stone, with complex patterns carved on it.
As soon as the stones merged, Trist took them in his hands, played with them twice, flicked his wrists, and the stones disappeared into thin air.
"Okay, just stay here for a few days, don't go out, just let a few local shadows pass on the information, and change the outfit according to the identity of the original personnel in this house. It has been found out that the main opponent this time is Feng Kun, who used to be from the Judge Advocate General's Office, this is his information, take a good look. Hart, your group is on guard. As he spoke, several stacks of documents appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
"Yes, sir. Everyone shouted in unison. Although they all feel that Trist's caution this time is a bit excessive, the boss is the boss after all, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"Nine Lives" Trist, a high-ranking rebel who has been rewarded with 50 million by the federal government, is described in the files of the Department of Homeland Security as "cautious and ruthless." And this caution has also allowed him to live to this day, and the state security department does not even know his true appearance.
... I'm the dividing line...
After coming out of the Education Bureau, Ye Wenqin was still thinking about the silver-haired figure he had seen before, he had been patrolling that area for a period of time during his apprenticeship, and he had some understanding of the residents of that courtyard.
"According to the situation of Mr. Wilson's family, there should be no access to such a master. He thought to himself, a little confused.
With this suspicion, he did not go home, but drove to the police station, ready to find out something.
On the way to the police station, from time to time you will see all kinds of people with a fierce atmosphere, "Sure enough, it's almost time for the contract ceremony, and Wusong City will be lively for a while." ”
Every year, on the eve of the contract ceremony, Wusong City is also very lively, and many outsiders also pour in. He also asked Ye Mingxuan about this.
The conversation between the two at the time was like this.
"Although the contract ceremony can also be carried out at the town level, the city level ceremony will be carried out in the city if conditions permit, because it is more prepared and larger, and can better connect with the spirit world and increase the probability of success of the contract.
Moreover, Wusong City is a little special, according to the scale of the provincial capital city, the ceremony can reach the effect of the capital city, so every year many people from other places in Siqi Province, even people from non-Siqi Province, want to come here in Wusong City to participate in the contract ceremony.
In this regard, the municipal government also stipulates that under the premise of ensuring that local people in Wusong City participate in the ceremony, according to the number of local personnel participating in each year, 1,000 to 2,000 mobile places will be allocated to allow outsiders to participate by drawing lots.
I heard that for such a place, someone on the black market marked a price of 500,000 yuan. There are also many outsiders who try their best to move their children's household registration to relatives here. At that time, Ye Mingxuan replied.
"I've heard about the ritual level, and the literature says that it was a small fishing port hundreds of years ago, and it was because of the contract ceremony that it was developed. Ye Wenqin also sighed with emotion, there are always various reasons for the development of a place.
"It is said that there have been visits by transcendental researchers who have studied the environment in the past, but there has been no progress in decades, and I don't know if there are still people studying this matter. ”
"I mean, no wonder there are so many outsiders suddenly appearing at this time of year. Ye Wenqin touched his chin.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenqin was a little hesitant, would he just come to participate in the ceremony.
But after thinking about the flickering bright spots in his memory, as he grew older, he had also seen contractors of various ranks, and he had a certain understanding of the brightness response of the bright spots, you must know that when he first observed his grandfather in the spiritual vision, the old man gave him the feeling like a turbulent sea, but the energy level he felt on this silver-haired man this morning was more terrifying than that on his grandfather Ye Qiaoshan, if Ye Qiaoshan was a wave of more than ten meters, this was already a monstrous wave.
"It should be at least the middle level of the control realm, you must know that there are few such masters in Wusong City. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Wenqin had already come to the police station with a familiar car, found a few familiar police officers in charge of the area and asked some questions, and then went to the archives to ask people to help check whether there were any registered silver-haired masters in Wusong City.
After an investigation, his suspicions about the silver-haired figure deepened even further.
"I still have to tell my father about this. Ye Wenqin secretly made up his mind, he knew that the police department did not have enough people to deal with enemies of this level, so he did not mention this matter to the people in the police department.
... I'm the dividing line...
At the same time, on the avenue in the north of the city, three men in strong suits and two teenagers were entering the city, all five of them were wearing hats and carrying a war knife around their waists, and the style was a bit like the horizontal knife of the Tang Dynasty in the previous life.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Tong, this is Wusong City, the contract ceremony in a few days is here, you still have to do a good job of preparing for the contract ceremony in the next two days, especially the tokens and materials to be used at that time, you must remember. The man in the lead said to the two teenagers.
"Uncle Lan, you have said this almost a hundred times, and Xiao Tong and I have both remembered it. The young man named Xiaofeng replied, and then continued to admire the cityscape that he had never seen before, the two were rural teenagers who had never entered the city, shouting along the way, making the man named Uncle Lan next to him and the other two clans have a headache.
... I'm the dividing line...
In Wushu District, outside the gate of the Wusong City Branch of the United Guild of Contractors, several dusty people jumped from a large pickup truck, and a teenager suddenly shouted, "I, Zhang Long, are back again." Several people who got out of the car together hurriedly flashed to the side, looking like I didn't know him, at this time, the second middle school boy stretched out a foot behind him and kicked Zhang Long away, and then a serious teenager walked into the branch courtyard as if nothing had happened.
"Situ Qingtian, you wait for me. Oh, my waist!" Behind the young man, there was a roar of Zhang Long's anger.
A few people next to him also laughed at the branch courtyard they entered.
At the edge of a pond deep in the courtyard, next to a figure who was fishing, a piece of paper was burning to black ash.
... I'm the dividing line...
To the west of the city, on top of a water tower, eight or nine figures wearing strange masks stood or crouched, scanning the city, as if looking for something, and the employees of the water plant who walked nearby did not seem to find any trace of these people.
... I'm the dividing line...
In a bar in Songhu District, a team of people dressed as mercenaries were sitting around a private room, "Brothers, business is coming again, this time it is commissioned by a government agency, everyone should not run around for a while now, and be on call at any time." A tall man with a large shield said to the group below.
... I'm the dividing line...
On the outskirts of Wusong City, on the top of a tower more than fifty meters high, an old man in a robe looked at the photo stone sent by the raven in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I'm old and old, and I still have so many troubles, I'm working hard." Then with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew, and the old man disappeared to the top of the tower.
... I'm the dividing line...
From this day on, Wusong City has attracted countless people of all kinds like the eye of a typhoon.
