Chapter Twenty-Four: Enter Lingyun City
When the beauty in red saw it, she waved her hand, and the five jack-o'-lanterns returned to the forest in disgrace, hiding in the dense grass, looking at the Queen and the three of them curiously through the gaps. Suddenly, there were countless silver fireflies flying in the gloomy woods, dotted with stars, very beautiful. The fireflies were like guides, jumping from mountain to mountain, leading several people to an inn deep in the woods.
The beautiful woman in red just arrived at the door, but she didn't dare to enter the high threshold, standing at the door with a slight smile, and said lightly: "A few people can enter directly, and the little woman will say goodbye." ”
After all, she disappeared directly, as if she had never appeared.
The three were stunned.
They looked blankly at the words "Liu's Garden" inhabited by fireflies on the plaque before they came back to their senses.
King smiled wickedly and stepped in. "It's in, but it's just a spirit, what is there to be afraid of. It's quite common in ancient tombs. There is a chance to catch one as a pet. ”
Queen sneered, "It's really a unique interest, but this spirit is also worthy of you, and it's a good story to talk about a ghost relationship." ”
The eyes on Rong Lu's round face were like a cat falling asleep, seemingly careless, but in fact he had been watching the movements in the dark hall.
But he saw nothing.
The dim chandelier has a classical atmosphere.
Rong Lu came directly to the antique bar, tapped a few times on the countertop with his middle finger, and suddenly the gray-haired old man wearing a hat under the bar got up lazily from the recliner, yawned and said lightly: "It's so late, what's the matter." ”
His eyes were shining with a vicious light in the dim light, and he was a veteran of the rivers and lakes at first sight.
The sturdy Rong Lu slowly took out an old bronze medal from his bosom and placed it lightly on the bar, and suddenly, in this space where he could even hear his breath clearly, a crisp percussion sound echoed.
"Bell!"
The old man stared at the bronze medal on the bar, squinted another eye, looked at the people contemptuously, the corners of his mouth slanted, and he casually lifted the bronze medal with his wrinkled, fingers like dead branches.
I saw him sigh at the bronze medal, blow a few more breaths of wind, wipe it with his sleeve robe a few times, and put the bronze medal in the drawer.
Rong Lu and the three of them didn't dare to make a mistake, and quietly watched the very old man bending over and looking for something under the bar.
In a trance, he handed out a big bag and a bunch of keys, and said weakly: "If you go through the secret passage on the right side, you can enter Lingyun City without knowing it, I wish you good luck." ”
Rong Lu grabbed the burden and threw it to King. He grabbed the key and looked at it again before placing a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg from the backpack box on the bar. "Thanks!"
With that, he looked at the screen on his left wrist, on which a row of words appeared: Coordinates, Lingyun City. April 1, 2030.
"Let's go!"
So the three of them quickly walked through the dark and ancient dark passage.
The old man took the ruby from the bar, lay back in his chair, and played slowly.
I saw that the surface of the ruby suddenly appeared with a trace of red aura, like a graceful ribbon wrapped around the old man's long nails, and he was also leisurely, constantly moving his fingers, and his face showed innocence.
In the dark passage, King quickly opened the baggage and threw the clothes in the baggage to Queen and Rong Lu. There was only a dim wall lamp in the narrow passage, so the shadows of the three of them quickly changing clothes stretched on the wall. In a few moments, three long shadows quickly disappeared at the dark end of the passage, without a trace.
When the three of them came out of the passage, they appeared in a corner of the bustling city.
With neon lights flashing, fountains rising into the sky, and traffic moving at breakneck speed, this is a modern city that is drunk and golden, worthy of being the capital of the mortal district.
Rong Lu looked at the screen on his wrist alertly, and whispered: "Now is the right time, at 0:18:18 local time on April 1, 2030, and meet at the villa at 0:00 on August 25." Now disperse your actions and familiarize yourself with the situation on the ground. Something to do on a conference call. ”
Queen and King hurriedly looked at the screen on their wrists and adjusted the time.
The three of them put their wrists together in unison, and when they saw that the time on the screen was the same—even the number of seconds was the same, they nodded and smiled and withdrew their wrists.
Rong Lu took the keys off the keychain, threw them to the two of them, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Queen and King also went down different lanes.
Suddenly, there was no sign of people here.
The wind blew gently, breaking up the cloudy white mist, making the streets clear and refreshing throughout the night, so clean that not even a speck of dust could be seen.
The night was quiet, so quiet that it was scary.
A gust of wind blew, like a ghost crying wolf.
In this bustling city, there shouldn't be such an atmosphere, but who made this the most high-end hotel in Lingyun City?
Suddenly, two black-clothed and masked men walked out from behind a secret door carrying Ling Jin, who was unconscious with half of his body* on his shoulders.
Miss Ling, who was sitting in the chaise longue, was wearing a golden cheongsam today, and when she saw the handsome Ling Jin's face was pale, her eyes were confused, and her bright red nails made her hands look particularly white.
She picked up the goblet next to her, which contained one-fifth of the red wine, and shook it casually, and suddenly the aroma of the wine overflowed, obviously, what she was drinking today was not rose wine, but a blended wine full of osmanthus fragrance.
She stood up suddenly, walking on her high heels on the fluffy wool carpet - even though it wasn't her city lord's mansion, the room was still enchanting and full of emotion.
While tasting the red wine, she looked at Ling Jin, her eyes were full of interest.
Suddenly, she drank the wine in one gulp and gracefully released her slender fingers.
Suddenly, the wine glass actually floated up a centimeter outside Ling Jin's body - it was like having some kind of magnetic field, which was very magical.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, grabbed her goblet again, and a bodyguard hurriedly stepped forward to pour it full of wine.
She didn't look back, she continued to look at the man in black in front of her, and asked, "Why does he have the same energy wave as the sword sent by the treasure hunter?"
The man in black replied, "Dr. Tao said that he and the sword do have the same energy wave, but after measurement, the sword is the energy source, and he must come into contact with the sword before he can temporarily generate this energy wave." ”
Miss Ling was puzzled: "Briefly?"
The man in black continued, "The exact time should be 24 hours after the comprehensive reflection with the energy source. By the way, Dr. Tao also said that if you do more detailed research, you may be able to find the existence of 'phantom substance' from the sword. Once there is enough "phantom matter", it can prevent the wormhole from closing instantaneously. In this way, using the time shuttle, you can reach the time and space journey. ”
Miss Ling's eyes showed surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "Dr. Tao has found a way to determine the location of the wormhole?"
"BOSS, Dr. Tao didn't raise this question. However, when we brought him out in the laboratory, we saw that He Shibi had a slight reaction. ”
Miss Ling couldn't help but smile, took another sip of wine, walked to the big floor-to-ceiling window, and said in her heart: It seems that the fish have come to Lingyun City.
Thinking of this, she casually threw away the wine glass, and the half glass of red liquid was like swaying plasma, rippling with blurred ripples, and sprinkled a little bewitching red flower on the beige carpet.
The bodyguard behind her grabbed the wine glass with a quick eye and grabbed the excess spilled with his black leather shoes and the other hand.
Her face reflected in the glass window smiled with satisfaction, and said happily, "Okay, then put another bait." ”
In an instant, the two men in black left the room in awe.
On the empty and bleak city streets, Ling Jin* was lying on the ground with his upper body - just now, the man in black deliberately threw him here according to Miss Ling's instructions, waiting for the "fish" entering the city to take away this beautiful male "bait".
Suddenly, a half-drunk and half-awake man who came out of a nearby bar was curious to see Ling Jin lying on the ground, and threw out the can with a little beer in his hand like a drunken man, wanting to smash it on Ling Jin. Leaving with words in his mouth in an instant, as if cursing the injustice of life.
I saw that the can did not hit Ling Jin, but floated one centimeter away from Ling Jin's body.
Queen happened to come out of the dark alley, and at a glance saw Ling Jin lying half-naked under the street lamp, and was attracted by the floating cans on his body, and couldn't help but step forward.
She stood under the street lamp and looked down at the unconscious Ling Jin on the ground, and suddenly the deep-set and three-dimensional eyes on her face, which looked white under the light, revealed doubts.
She cautiously opened a certain program on her wrist, and an invisible fluorescence swept over Ling Jin's body, and she couldn't help but be surprised: he had just entered this place like herself—it turned out that she had just entered Lingyun City's personnel database, and it was clear that there was no Ling Jin's file.
She tilted her head and slowly crouched down, gently touching Ling Jin's cheek with her slender nails, and then passed his neck and swam over his toned pectoral muscles.
But suddenly, the photo taken when she found the tornado next to the cloud lake flashed in her mind, so she immediately took out a handy camera to carefully check the picture.
Don't look at it, don't care, look at it and be shocked - the huge tornado has been mirrored, and a face stands on it. Queen compared the picture with Ling Jin's face, and it was 90% similar, and she was horrified: what kind of person is he?
Suddenly, the can fell to the ground and rolled to the side, a series of sounds that shocked Queen from her daze.
She hurriedly followed the sound, saw the can rolling aside, picked it up casually, took it to a centimeter around Ling Jin's body, and let go.
I saw that the cans fell directly onto Ling Jin's sexy upper body, and then rolled directly down to the cement pavement.
She tilted her head, tried again, and said in her heart: Could it be that Fang is dazzling?
But instead, she retracted her camera, touched Ling Jin's carotid artery, and then looked expectantly at the fashionable men and women who came out of the bar, begging for help.
However, the people under the bright lights were drunk and hazy, either kissing wildly on the street, or laughing and playing in twos and threes, no one paid attention to Queen and Ling Jin, but looked at the two of them like monsters.
Queen looked at the whole new world with a complicated expression on her face.
However, she helped Ling Jin up with difficulty, looked at the coordinates on her wrist, followed the direction indicated by the navigation, and disappeared into the night......
The neon lights flickered, and the night venues everywhere were full of people, and these "guests" who had just entered Lingyun City didn't seem to exist.
