Even though it's a comfortable first-class cabin, a flight of more than ten hours is still an ordeal. Fortunately, there were no further accidents during the flight, and the four of them landed safely at Los Angeles International Airport.

Xinyun walked out of the airport first, directly stopped a taxi, commanded Chaoyang to sit in the passenger seat, sat in the back seat himself, and beckoned Jiang Xiao to sit beside him.

The driver was a young black guy, dressed in a fancy dress and wearing exaggerated sunglasses, shaking his head to the spiritual song in the car, and after the four of them got into the car and closed the door, he drove forward with a foot of floor oil: "Hey, buddy, where are you going?"

"California Institute of Technology. Xinyun gave the address in English, and the black driver's brother nodded, and immediately stepped on the floor oil.

Los Angeles in a broad sense is not just a city, but a huge urban agglomeration on the southwest coast of California. Pasadena, where Caltech is located, is one of those urban agglomerations, at least thirty miles from Los Angeles International Airport.

"You...... Don't you want to contact the other party?" After the car started, Jiang Xiao asked Xinyun in a low voice.

"The more you connect, the greater the risk. Who knows if the academy has listened to our phone calls, and who knows if the academy has listened to Isaiah's phone calls?" Xinyun commanded Chaoyang to sit in the passenger seat, sat in the back seat, and beckoned Jiang Xiao to sit beside him: "After all, the academy is a huge organization, and in addition to the forces on the surface, I don't know how much power they have hidden in the dark. Even ......"

Xinyun secretly glanced at the black driver brother in the front row: "Even the driver of this taxi...... It could all be an assassin sent by the Academy. ”

"Isaiah, is that your friend's name?" Jiang Xiao had only heard Xinyun say before, she had a friend who was a professor of oceanography at the California Institute of Technology, and she could go there to get equipment to dive to the bottom of Lake Baikal, but it was the first time she had heard him mention the name.

Xinyun just nodded, but before he could answer, the black guy in the front row suddenly turned around, took off his sunglasses, and showed an exaggerated smile: "Hey, buddy, although I don't know who is planning to assassinate you, but you really think I look like an assassin?!"

Jiang Xiao and Xinyun's previous conversations, except for the initial announcement of the place name with the driver, have always been in Chinese. But unexpectedly, this black brother not only heard it clearly, but also turned his head and plugged it in.

What's even more bizarre is that what he said turned out to be an out-and-out Beijing film, and the standard couldn't be more standard.

Seeing the surprised expressions of Jiang Xiao and Xinyun that he expected, this black brother suddenly became even more excited: "Why! Look down on me, buddies? You Chinese, when you come to the United States, you always feel that this group of foreigners are stupid, they can't understand Chinese, they open their mouths and close their mouths without a door, and they run trains with their mouths full." Hey, in fact, on the west coast, take a submachine gun on the street and sweep a magazine, which will definitely kill two people who can speak Chinese! So ah, you still have to be careful when you talk in the future, don't fight that others can't understand what you say, and you can't grin nonsense at every turn. ”

This string is even more smooth, like firecrackers, which makes Jiang Xiao and Xinyun stunned at the same time.

"You...... Speak Chinese well. Jiang Xiao looked at the driver brother in front of him in a daze. Curly black skin, big mouth and nose, a big gold chain around the neck, and three lip rings nailed to the lips, how to look at how it looks like an indigenous person from a black neighborhood.

"But no!" The black brother suddenly became happy, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and patting his chest with the other: "I have been driving a taxi for so many years, and I have not pulled Chinese, but I really have never met a person with an accent more authentic than me!

"Alright. Give me a good drive. Xinyun frowned and said impatiently. She wasn't interested in listening to the driver's poor words: "Send us to our destination, don't talk much." ”

"Deller, please please!" The black guy snapped his fingers and was about to turn back again, but his expression suddenly froze: "You...... You're a priest?!"

Jiang Xiao and Xinyun looked at each other and were stunned.

It's bizarre enough to meet a black Native American who is fluent in Peking films. But they weren't going to ask too much. It's just a driver, and when they are sent to the place, they leave separately, and they will not meet again.

But......

Stop the car casually, and even stop a taxi driven by the Awakened?!

"You...... Didn't you tell me before that the awakened are not bad for money?" Jiang Xiao looked at Xinyun with some suspicion, and then looked at the black brother in front of him.

Xinyun said categorically before, the awakened will never lack money in terms of money.

And the black guy in front of him...... Why don't you be reduced to the point where you need to drive a taxi to make ends meet, right?

"Hey, where is it to make money! Where is it to live with this thing?" Hearing Jiang Xiao's question, the black brother showed his snow-white teeth and laughed: "It's just that I'm idle and have nothing to do, and being a brother is also a pastime, and I can't brag to the passengers and tease the boring people." ”

After speaking, he turned to Xinyun again, and looked up and down carefully: "Although I have been awakened for so many years, this is the first time I have seen a living priest. Well, I don't want the fare for this trip, it's a tribute to you. Do you think so?"

"Whatever you want, you're not bad for money anyway. Xinyun shrugged and said indifferently. For a person like her, what can such a small fare be counted?

"But...... It's better for you to talk less. After Xinyun finished speaking, she glanced at the black brother in front of her again: "Concentrate on driving." ”

"No problem!" the black guy stretched out his hand and made a zipper gesture on his mouth, and sure enough, he immediately turned around and concentrated on driving, without saying a word.

Jiang Xiao and Xinyun glanced at each other, and they both saw a confirmed look in each other's eyes.

It should be just a coincidence that I met this black brother awakened. If the Academy did send an Assassin, it would not reveal its identity as an Awakened Person so bluntly.

After more than thirty miles, it took half an hour to arrive at the California Institute of Technology, and nothing unusual happened along the way. The black brother really didn't charge Xinyun's fare, and when he saw Xinyun and the others get out of the car, he suddenly honked the horn twice, and shouted to Xinyun who was about to leave: "Which one...... Can you wait?"

Xinyun stopped and turned around: "What are you doing?"

"That's ......" the black guy grabbed his curly head: "You...... I think I've talked about assassins or something like that...... I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but ...... If you need help, feel free to let me know. Or...... If you're going to use a car here in Los Angeles these days, I'm always available. ”

After speaking, he stepped out of the car, took out a business card from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Xinyun with both hands: "You keep this film, if you need it, call me at any time." ”

Xinyun thought for a moment, took the business card, and looked down: "Joel Westbrook?"

"Hey!" the black guy patted his head: "My brain twitched, I forgot to print my Chinese name." We are all our own people, so we will call me by Chinese name in the future. ”

"What about you...... What is the name in Chinese?" Jiang Xiao looked at this black brother with a mouth full of Beijing films, and always wanted to laugh in his heart. I don't know where this guy learned such an authentic accent.

In front of Xinyun, this black brother was quite restrained, and when he turned to Jiang Xiao, he showed a smug and excited look on his face again: "The old man in Xia Wang, surnamed Sun, named Li Xiuzhen, called Ouyang Qingsong, known as Hood Bailing." Friends in the rivers and lakes are generally called by the name of the old man. Tell me, you guys, get me water. ”

Get......

Jiang Xiao understood it.

No wonder this product is so slippery with a bite of Beijing films, and it is a mouth full of running trains......

It turned out to be a fanatical cross talk ticket holder!

But...... A black brother in Los Angeles actually loves to listen to cross talk to the extent that he is crazy, and Jiang Xiao really didn't expect it.

"Cheng ...... I kind of get it. Jiang Xiao nodded, and asked Xinyun to put away the business card: "If there is a need, we will contact you." Well...... Get water. ”

The black brother got the water, but he didn't match his words, only looked at Xinyun fixedly, waiting for her answer.

"Got it. We will contact you if necessary. Xinyun could only repeat Jiang Xiao's words, Yu Deshui nodded with satisfaction, made a standard greeting with Xinyun, and watched them walk into the building until then, then turned around and got in the car and left.

"The longer I spend with you, the more I realize how useful this priest's name is. Walking into the building, Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly and looked at Xinyun beside him: "The role of rank among the awakened is really the same as the caste in India." ”

Fang Cai's black brother Yu Deshui's attitude towards Xinyun is obviously completely different from others. Obviously, it was her priesthood who sensed it.

"What do you think...... How did the surname system in India come about?" Xinyun glanced at Jiang Xiao, and there seemed to be a smile on her face: "Since the bloodline has not been severed, do you think that culture is ...... Will it disappear completely, leaving no trace?"

Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed. Xinyun hurriedly grabbed his hand again and shook it lightly: "But you believe me, I definitely didn't use the priest's spiritual coercion! Before that, I didn't realize that he was an awakened person. ”

"Yes, of course I believe you. Jiang Xiao smiled: "But...... Since you didn't reveal your identity, he was still able to recognize you as a priest...... Does that mean that the Awakened of the priesthood can be easily discovered by other Awakened Ones?"

"Hmm...... In theory, that's right. Xinyun tilted her head and thought for a while, and nodded: "Although in general, the awakened cannot be identified by each other, but because the spiritual power is strong enough, the priest is like a torch in the night in the mental world of the other awakened, and it can be seen at a glance." ”

"So...... There are also pros and cons......" Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment: "Although few people will take the initiative to make enemies with the priests, if we encounter our current situation, it will naturally add a little risk." ”

"Then I can't help it. Xinyun shrugged. As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the door of an office.

"This is it, old Isaiah's office. I've been here once before and hope he hasn't moved out. Xinyun said and pushed the door open.
