After everyone arrived, Mrs. Hong spoke: "Everyone, I have invited you here today, and the only topic to discuss is to join forces to fight against the Lord of the Sharks. Everyone's intelligence channels are very advanced, and I believe that the movements of the Lord of the Sharks are also clear. Here, I just remind you to pay close attention to one point, the Lord of the Shark has crossed the line, his range of activities was originally only in the deep sea, a hundred years away, only perennial voyagers will see him, within a hundred years, the Lord of the Shark has become more and more arrogant, constantly harassing and encroaching, several times the warships of small countries have also suffered. Therefore, it is necessary to curb the actions of the Lord of the Sharks, eradicate him, and ensure the peace of the East China Sea. This cannot be accomplished by one country or one region, and it is necessary for many countries and all parties to join hands in order to achieve results. Now, I would like to invite you to express your opinions, brainstorm ideas, and come up with practical solutions to solve this problem. ”

As soon as Mrs. Hong finished speaking, a dark-skinned African sitting opposite answered loudly: "That's right, several boats under my name have been continuously destroyed by the Lord of the Mermaids, and all the people and goods have sunk into the sea and disappeared. The sea is a common transportation channel for the whole world, and the Lord of the Shark has seriously affected world peace by doing so. I have heard that the Americans are also complaining, but now, the wars launched by the US government in various countries are in a state of stalemate, so for the time being, it is powerless to attack the lord of the merman. In that case, we will stand still and wait for the Americans to send warships to destroy the lord of the merman. In general, according to this plan, we will be able to eliminate the scourge and stabilize the East China Sea without much effort. ”

On the right side, a man in a Russian robe raised his hand and spoke: "The power of the Lord of the Shark is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a huge threat to both Asia and Europe, so as long as I can eliminate it, I am willing to give ten percent of the shares of the head office as a bounty." ”

The others immediately let out exclamations, and I guess this person's head office must be rich, so ten percent of the shares is already a huge amount of money, and it caused everyone's exclamation. To be sure, piracy has done a great deal of damage to navigators, and throughout the ages, many of the best navigators and their wealthy families have been wiped out by pirates.

The Lord of the Mermaids is not a pirate, but his greed and ferocity are no less than that of pirates.

I found that some of the twelve big men were radical and excited, while others held back, just observed, and did not speak. Two of them, with a gloomy sneer on their lips, simply scoffed at the generosity of others.

Mrs. Hong raised her hand and responded to the Russian: "That's right, the lord of the merman is already a black sheep and a target of everyone, and it is best that Mr. Norgav is willing to pay." What about the others? Can you also express your own opinions? Mr. Aishan and Mr. Hu Jizun, what do you think?

Ai Shan and Hu Jizun were the two sneering people, and when they heard Mrs. Hong greet them, Hu Jizun, who had two small black beards, spoke first: "Okay, since Mrs. Hong has a life, then I will say a few words, don't be surprised if it is inappropriate." Everyone hates the hegemony of the Lord of the Sharks in the East China Sea, so why don't you look back and think about it, whose interests are affected by his occupation of the East China Sea?"

There is no doubt that his words have pointed the finger at the two superpowers on both sides of the Pacific.

There is chaos in the East China Sea, and it is the United States and China that suffer the most. As for the other small countries, they have historically been vassals of the superpowers, and in the event of war, they will send envoys to the centralized government for help. It can be said that they travel thousands of miles to the capital every year to pay tribute, precisely to obtain shelter at a critical moment.

Mrs. Hong nodded: "What you said, everyone understands, please continue." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Jizun's face, but he just sneered and didn't continue, not giving Mrs. Hong face at all.

I have formed an alliance with the Dragon Group, and Hu Jizun refuted Mrs. Hong's face, which is equivalent to slapping all the Dragon Group in the face, this contempt is really unbearable.

Ai Shan spoke: "Mrs. Hong, since the situation is so obvious, do other ignorant small countries need to be involved in the matter of exterminating the Lord of the Shark People? As long as the two superpowers come up with a way, the other small countries will do the same." ”

Mrs. Hong smiled: "What Mr. Aishan means is that there is no need for this meeting at all, is it?"

Ai Shan admitted frankly: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant, and Mr. Hu Jizun is the same. Although our business also crosses the Pacific, our share is getting smaller and smaller, and we are turning to Western Europe and Northern Europe, without worrying about the threat of the merman master. No matter how long his hand is, it is impossible for him to reach to the west and occupy the east and west sides of the Eurasian continent. Therefore, in order to resolve the East China Sea matter, Mr. Hu Jizun and I are willing to watch from the sidelines, and it is inconvenient for us to express any opinions. ”

Hu Jizun laughed and nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, we are businessmen, only doing money-making business, not loss-making business." ”

Mrs. Hong was not angry, but took out a letterhead with a green seal from the folder in front of her and showed it to the people on all sides: "This is a notice letter from Interpol, the subject of which is the invasion of the Atlantic Ocean by the men and horses of the Lord of the Mermen, and the coastal countries must be highly vigilant to prevent the mass outbreak of abnormal events." Mr. Aishan, you just said that the business has all been transferred to the Atlantic, right? Unfortunately, the hand of the merman lord is long enough to follow you westward. If you don't take precautions, you will end up losing both people and money. ”

Ai Shan's face changed: "Why didn't I receive the notice letter?"

Mrs. Hong smiled: "About an hour ago, Interpol just faxed over, so I believe that none of you here have received it." But it doesn't matter, I'll give you a little time, and we all call our respective superiors to inquire. ”

The other eleven turned around at the same time, took the phone from the bodyguard, and hurriedly dialed the number.

In fact, Ai Shan and Hu Jizun are so arrogant precisely because they have forgotten one thing - the water on the earth is connected, and the lord of the merman occupies the water world, so the four major oceans on the earth will be under his control. Starting in the Pacific Ocean, head south to the Indian Ocean, north to the Arctic Ocean, and then meet in the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

I can imagine that the power of the Lord of the Sharks is like a giant octopus, with countless tentacles and incomparably ferocious, trying to tie this blue planet to death, grinding its teeth and sucking blood, knocking out bones and sucking marrow, so that other creatures cannot survive. It can be seen that he is not only the enemy of mankind, but also the enemy of all animals and plants on the earth.

"The meeting was temporarily adjourned, and after half an hour, when everyone had checked it, we continued again. Mrs. Hong stood up, glanced at me, and headed north.

I immediately followed, and followed her into a room with a green dragon cloud pattern carved on the door.

"Close the door. She commanded in a low voice.

I closed the door silently and found it just the two of us in the room.

"Now, it's a matter of success or failure. If you can't say that the other eleven people join forces, it is impossible to easily eliminate the Lord of the Shark with the power of the Dragon Group alone. The abyss is connected to the abyss, and it is impossible for us to dry up the East China Sea and fish in the dry waters. As long as he hides in the seas of coastal countries, no matter how much work we do on the high seas, there will be a surplus. The top priority at the moment is to clear the walls of all the coastal countries and keep the lord of the merman out of the high seas. Ai Shan and Hu Jizun represent the highest interests of Southeast Asian countries, and they are businessmen, but they are actually politicians. If they oppose it, others will not dare to express their position lightly. Alas, today's business is still difficult and difficult to do......" Mrs. Hong shook her head and sighed.

Tiredness was written all over her face, only the unyielding light still shone in her eyes.

"Is that notice a fake?" I asked.

"It's true, but it's just a notification letter, and it doesn't have any binding meaning for coastal states. This round table of 12 is also a simple form of alliance, and no one can decide the will of others. In this regard, just like the vote in the United Nations, each country has the autonomy to vote for it, against it, and abstain from voting. However, I have no way out, and I must solve the scourge of the Lord of the Sharks, which is an order from my superiors and my greatest wish. If necessary, I am even willing to die with the Lord of the Sharks-" Lady Hong's expression turned grim, and her eyes were full of hatred.

"What can I do?" I asked.

"Is it okay to be my last trump card?" asked Mrs. Hong rhetorically.

I nodded lightly: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that my throat became dry when I said this.

Mrs. Hong was able to discuss such international affairs with me, which shows that she has regarded me as her own person who can entrust her life.

"The ancients threw their heads and spilled their blood for the sake of the country and the nation, and our descendants should pursue the glory of their ancestors, give up their small family to take care of everyone, and sacrifice their lives to care for the integrity of the country. Mr. Xia, I have read a lot of your information, and I also ordered Zhang Quanzhong to observe you in many ways, and finally determined that you are the future hope that the Dragon Group has been looking for. In the past, the Seven Kings Society was powerful, and there were endless young and middle-aged talents in the Society, so the Dragon Group has always taken great care of the Seven Kings Society's actions on the rivers and lakes, and consciously cultivated the young people in the Seven Gangs, such as Yan Gexing you know, and Lian Chengbi who is now lying in the hospital. Oh yes, Chu Chu from Miao Jiang is also one of the objects of our key care. There are hundreds of the same, peer-to-peer, equally talented young people, but they are still much weaker than you. All in all, you are more than 100 times more capable than theirs. So, I must use you as the last trump card, and it is even possible to entrust you with the power of the dragon group-" Madame Hong suddenly stopped and looked at the door.

Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door.

"Open the door and be silent. She commanded.

I walked over and opened the door, and there was the middle-aged man standing outside.

"Madam, Ai Shan and Hu Jizun have united the other nine people and are ready to withdraw from the Grand Alliance. According to the report, Aishan represents the desert world, and Hu Jizun represents the countries of Eastern, Central and Northern Europe. According to them, it is necessary to establish a new NATO or EU organization to protect the interests of the continental plate at the junction of Asia, Africa and Europe, and to keep the lord of the merman out of the periphery. Aishan also said that it is necessary to establish a new continental alliance with the Himalayas and Mount Everest as the core, and establish a new superpolitical system in addition to the superpowers. He declared that it would be safest to set up a military exclusion zone between the land and the sea, and that would be the safest thing to do. At the same time, Hu Jizun also put forward the idea of 'human continent and ocean world', to persuade all countries to withdraw from the sea and return the sea to the lord of the sharks. The middle-aged man reported quickly.

This may seem plausible, but humans are the primates who rule the planet, and naturally have control over the oceans. If the lord of the merman is left to do whatever he wants, then the underground water source on which humans depend will also be plundered, because the water there is also connected to the sea. In short, the merman mainly controls the water of the world, which is the greatest harm to mankind. If we don't see this clearly, the end of humanity is coming.

In many post-apocalyptic Hollywood movies, the battle for water among the survivors is intense. Water is the main element on which human beings depend for their survival, and it must not lose its control.

On this point alone, if those people were bewitched by Ai Shan and Hu Jizun, they would really be dizzy.

"Shang Que, what is the attitude of those nine people, have they resolutely followed Ai Shan and Hu Jizun?" asked Mrs. Hong.

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, the general trend is already like this." ”

"If you kill Ai Shan and Hu Jizun, will you be able to change the situation?" asked Mrs. Hong.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Madam, according to my observation, Ai Shan and Hu Jizun came prepared, completely targeting our dragon group. If you rashly send someone to assassinate you, I am afraid that you will encounter an even greater setback. ”

Mrs. Hong took the case: "Shang Que, at this time, why have you become timid? Even if Ai Shan and Hu Jizun are backed by international forces, we can't take a step back. Did you know? If we can't eliminate the Lord of the Sharks, then there will be no need for the Dragon Group to exist. Now, I have decided to assassinate Ai Shan and Hu Jizun immediately, so as not to let the divisive public opinion spread. ”

The middle-aged man Shang Que's face was like ashes: "Madam, loyalty is good for deeds, and assassination is the most unwise move." Now, what we want is to maintain stability, not to provoke another dispute. Without the cooperation of the other eleven forces, we would have become a lonely predicament. ”

I interjected in a low voice: "Madam, I will assassinate Aishan and Hu Jizun." If you miss, it has nothing to do with the dragon group. ”

The dragon group represents a superpower, and once it is involved in an assassination, it will be difficult to explain. On the contrary, I am a carefree Jianghu person, and whether the assassination is successful or not, it is only a personal matter, and has nothing to do with the diplomacy of a great power.

"You're going?" Shang Que shook his head.

"Are you going?" Mrs. Hong also shook her head, "Mr. Xia, you probably don't know the origin of Ai Shan and Hu Jizun, the bodyguards around them are more powerful than the bodyguards of the Secret Service of the President of the United States, and they are all masters of one in a million." You are my last trump card and cannot be played at this time. ”

Shang Que looked at me, his eyes full of pity: "Mr. Xia, Ai Shan and Hu Jizun are elephants and dinosaurs, and you are just ants or moths. Don't waste your efforts, stealing chickens won't make it a mess, it will only ruin Madame's big business. ”

I didn't contradict him, but said, "Give me their information." ”

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. If I get the details of Aishan and Hu Jizun, I may be able to succeed.

Shang Que and Mrs. Hong looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but the eye contact had already been decided.

"I'll give you all the information, and within twenty-four hours, whether you succeed or not, Madame will make a new decision. This time, you are an outcast, ask for more blessings. Shang Que said.

Mrs. Hong sighed and turned her back, as if she could not bear to look at me again.

"Madam, why be so sad if you don't live or die?" I laughed.

"Be careful, wait for your triumphant return. Mrs. Hong didn't look back, just waved her hand.

I followed Shang Que out and into another room.

The four walls of this room are lined with LCD monitors, and on each screen are photos and data related to the participants of the round table outside. There were eleven people sitting in the room, but they all worked silently.

"Ai Shan and Hu Jizun's information is given to me, bodyguards, weapon systems, room access routes, etc., all wanted. Shang Que commanded.

Immediately, a screen on my right flickered, and soon a picture of Aishan appeared.

"Aishan, room 1109, three floors of bodyguards, a total of twelve, light and heavy weapons. Except for going to the bathroom, the bodyguard follows at all times and does not leave for a second. The only chance to assassinate him was when he was in the bathroom. Secret Passage Nine can go directly to the top of the bathroom in Aishan's room, and before the assassination begins, the three surveillance systems in the room can be turned off without leaving a trace. "The person sitting in front of the screen reports mechanically.

"Hu Jizun's information?" Shang Que ordered again.

I raised my hand to stop: "As long as this one is enough, at the meeting, I observed a detail, Aishan can command Hu Jizun with his eyes and small movements, it can be seen that he is the mastermind between the two." Kill him, and Hu Jizun will have no backbone. Give me five hours, and if you can't do it in five hours, you won't have to think about it later. ”

Shang Que didn't say anything more, opened the drawer, and took out a gun and a dagger.

I chose the half-foot-long dagger and abandoned the pistol. If things get to the point of shooting and killing, it will alarm the police and make a mess.

"Don't need anything else?" Shang Que asked.

"Take me to Passage Nine. "I ignored his questions and only asked for my own.

The so-called "channel nine" refers to the fresh air system channel in the building, which is similar to the common central air conditioning supply duct.

Shang Que took out a location tracker, which I refused. This kind of electronics can easily make a sound at a critical moment, revealing whereabouts. Bringing it with you is tantamount to carrying one*, which may not explode at any time.

I entered Passage 9 and crawled along the directions inside the pipeline, quickly rushing to Room 1109.

The structure of the building was not complicated, and I was able to reach the top of the bathroom in room 1109. Through the vent of the ventilator, I can see everything in the bathroom. Obviously, if Aishan used the bathroom and closed the door, I could cut his throat in half a minute and get out of the way.

I lay down on my side, stretched, and rested.

In fact, the appearance of Mrs. Hong was more like a battle signal, allowing me to see a more magnificent war waged by a higher-level bigwig. Battles between thaumaturgists take place among the people, and those who participate in the round tables can decide the future of the continent. Only by reaching the status of Mrs. Hong can we truly see the general trend.

It suddenly occurred to me that "the assassination of Ai Shan must have caused panic among the others, and everyone will guess that the main messenger behind the scenes is Mrs. Hong." If we want to dispel this suspicion, then the dragon group will definitely throw a scapegoat, and this scapegoat is me. ”

In this way, I am no longer the trump card in the hands of Mrs. Hong, but the justifiable scapegoat, and I was pushed to the guillotine.

In other words, once I decided to assassinate Aishan, I had already embarked on the point of no return. When the assassination is successful, it will not be far from my death from a bullet.

If you want to kill the lord of the sharks, you have to let the dragon group unify the opinions of the round table and make everyone obey the command of the dragon group. If you don't kill Aishan, you won't be able to achieve this purpose. Then, Aishan must die, and the lord of the merman must also die. The top priority is that I flee as soon as I assassinate Aishan, and do not give others a chance to take me as a scapegoat.

I knew I was doing something like a knife licking blood. If it is done, there is no profit to speak of, and if it is defeated, there is only a dead end.

"I have to do this, otherwise the plan of the dragon group will not be carried out, and the lord of the merman will still be arrogant and continue to sit big. In that case, people all over the world would be in danger. "I rolled over and changed to a more comfortable position.

I reserved five hours for Shang Que, and I believe that Aishan will definitely enter the bathroom within five hours and give me a chance to start.

With a click, the door to the bathroom below was pushed open.

I cautiously poked my head out to look down, and it was Aishan who walked into the bathroom. Moreover, as soon as he entered, he closed the door with his backhand and pressed the secret lock again. In this case, even if there is unknown movement in the bathroom, it is impossible for the outside bodyguards to rush in at the first time.

Aishan did not use the toilet, but stood in front of the sink, turned on the faucet, and stared into the mirror.

From my point of view, what is reflected in the mirror is normal and not worth looking at for a long time.

Now, all I need to do is remove the exhaust fan and bend my knees to the ground, and I can cut Aishan's neck with a single sword, and send this unscrupulous merchant with a bald head, triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a toad's mouth to the western heavens.

No matter which force is behind him, as long as he is against the dragon group, he will die.

I put my hand on the exhaust fan, lifted it slightly, and moved it away, revealing a two-foot square hole.

"I must be crazy, I must be crazy...... Aishan suddenly muttered to himself, "Man has become a fish, an amphibious creature of the sea and land, able to explore a greater world, live in an animal form like never before, free from disease, and become a super creature that transcends time...... Is this true? Stubborn diseases that have not yet been overcome by human medicine must be saved by marine life? Forget it, no matter what, since I only have three months to live, and I have been sentenced to death by doctors, then I must always give it a try, do my best, and prolong my life. As long as I can live, I don't care about the bad things between the big countries, and it has nothing to do with me. Okay, okay, okay, cheer up, don't let Hu Jizun see it, otherwise, this guy has more ghost ideas, and if he doesn't get it right, it will be bad-"

I roughly understood these words, Aishan should be terminally ill, so he accepted a certain party's conditions, chose to become a marine creature, and restrained the terminal illness by changing the living environment.

"Who else has this power but the Lord of the Sharks?" I asked myself.

In other words, Aishan has reached an agreement with the Lord of the Sharks to deliberately sabotage the Grand Alliance Front led by the Dragon Group. Of course, if he chooses to become a marine creature, he will give up the rights and interests of human beings and stand on the side of the lord of the merman, so he will naturally have to protect the interests of the lord of the merman.

"Kill, or not?" I hesitated.

"Fuck the dragons, fuck Mrs. Hong! I'm terminally ill, and you don't...... I'm dead, this world is yours, be happy, and soar. Why? Why should I help you succeed? I am not so stupid! Now, if I can survive, I will survive—" Aishan rolled up his sleeves and looked down at his left arm.

I poked my head out and immediately saw his forearm. The surface of his foot-long skin, from his wrists to his elbows, was covered with transparent scales, as if they were deliberately pasted, pressed one by one, fine and tight.

Aishan stroked the scales with his right hand, and a strange whine came out of his throat, as if he was delighted, but also seemed desperate.

"Change began, change began, change began," he said to himself again......

As he scraped the scales with his fingernails, a hair-wrenching clatter rang out in the bathroom.

"It's mine, these are mine, these scales are mine, with them, I can go to the sea, I can swim around freely like a fish, and become the overlord of the sea......" Aishan's emotions fluctuated greatly, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes grief and indignation, and all this was brought to him by those strange scales.
