Although there are many treasures and artifacts in the thaumaturgical world, there are very few like the Divine Water Mirror, which can directly determine the outcome of the war from a certain aspect.

"I don't know where it is, and whatever it is, it will never be in my hands. I answered bluntly.

"However, national informants around the world understand that the Divine Water Mirror is being manipulated by a person surnamed Xia. The disappearance of the surname Xia, the mirror is also missing, and there has never been a strange incident of an entire team of soldiers being swallowed by the mirror since then. Therefore, if you find someone with the surname Xia, you should be able to find a mirror. If you were me, would you think the same way?" asked the big man.

This logic is completely correct, and I can't argue with it, I can only nod my head.

"We found the genealogy of the Xia family, the one surnamed Xia-"

I raised my hand to interrupt the big man, who was leading all sorts of topics to me. If you go on any more, these topics will lock me up. If this kind of news spreads around the world, my time of death is approaching.

"Don't say it, you want to kill me? No matter how you deduce, I have nothing to do with the Divine Mirror. I can sit down and talk to you because I want to solve the current predicament of the plane, not to voluntarily fall into the trap you have set. Don't be smart, for no one else is stupid. I sternly refuted the other party.

The big man smiled: "I have enough evidence in my hand, and as soon as I release it, the global intelligence agencies will know that it is possible to find the Divine Mirror if they find you." When the time comes, you will be the target of the public, and wherever you go, there will be countless pairs of eyes following you, which is more attractive than the most dazzling stars in the entertainment industry......"

I sneered twice, closed my eyes, stopped looking at each other, and ignored each other's nonsense.

"This is a farce, a farce directed and acted by a Japanese bigwig!" I silently told myself in my heart not to mess around.

Since it's a farce, it's up to the clown to perform it himself, I don't speak, don't respond, don't participate, and let the other party jump up and down. When he has had enough trouble and is tired, this matter will be over.

"Mr. Xia, why don't we cooperate. There are so many intelligence agencies in the world, you have to find a backer in the end. You think that Area 51 can be a backer, but you don't know that their purpose is just to do a good job as a Pacific police officer and conquer the world with guns, and they don't pay attention to the strange things that happened in history. I'm different, as long as you nod your head, you get everything right away. If necessary, I can even ask the emperor to cede half of the country to you, how about it?" said the big man in a earnest tone.

I laughed at his last words, because it was a fantasy. For the sake of the water mirror, Japan is willing to give away half of the country, which has become a big joke. If I believe this, it is better to believe that dogs can change their nature of eating.

"Mr. Xia doesn't believe me, I can call the emperor right away. Said the big man.

I believe that he dared to call the emperor, and with the prestige of a big man today, he would say nothing at home, and the emperor would consider any suggestion he made.

"Forget it. I raised my hand to signal that it was time to end the conversation.

"Cooperate, I will provide you with any help, as long as you need it, as long as I can provide it, absolutely responsive. Said the big man.

"Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I can't accept it. The Divine Water Mirror is just a legend, and to this day, no one knows its whereabouts. I said.

The people and horses of the Seven Kings Society gathered in Jinan for the sake of the Divine Mirror, but so many people died, so many battles were killed, and the artifact never appeared. Even the big guys can't do anything, so how sure can I find it?

The big man turned sideways, took a folder out of a black briefcase, and threw it on the table.

"With these, I believe you must be easier to get your hands on than others. He said.

I wanted to refuse, but I took a deep breath and opened the folder. This is not the time to be self-willed, so if you can get clues from the Japanese people, why not do it?

Inside the folder were more than a dozen yellowed black-and-white photographs, as well as five pages of tattered old-fashioned vertical letterhead, all written in small letters with a brush.

I looked at the photos first, and two of them were of a large lake, one far away and one close, but it was certain that it was the same place, except that the first one was a macro picture, and the second one was a micro close-up.

Both photos were taken of Daming Lake, because I can see from the weeping willows, Tiegong Temple, Zeng Di, Beishuimen, Huxin Island and so on on the shore. Moreover, there are similar photos in the old photo museum on Qushuiting Street today, but from a different angle.

The close-up photo is of the North Water Gate, with no people or boats, only the lake and the arch, and its angle is taken from south to north, the water is extremely gentle, flowing out of Daming Lake, through the iron fence, and running downstream.

Decades have passed, and not much has changed in the North Water Gate. Comparing the past and the present, only the moss on the stone wall at the water's edge has increased or decreased slightly.

These two photos are not placed at the top, but I saw them at a glance and it seemed that there was something in them that attracted me. However, after repeated viewing, the photos are not much different from the common old photos.

"Your sixth sense is precise. The big man sighed.

I picked up the photo, looked at it twice, and slammed it upside down on the table.

In many cases, the human eye will have the phenomenon of "blind sight" due to inertia. At this point, by moving the photo away and revisiting the scene in the photo from memory, you can conduct an in-depth analysis and notice what is unusual about it.

I ignored the big guys, but slowly closed my eyes and let the scenes and objects in the old photos float up and down in my mind.

The North Water Gate is one of the outlets of Daming Lake, which can be used by boat in ancient times for soldiers to go out of the city to fight or cargo ships to transport grain and grass. During the war years, there were not only iron fences in the water, but also steel plates and iron gates on the inside of the door, which could cut off the waterway and prevent the enemy from sneaking in if it fell at a critical moment.

In the second detail photo, there seems to be something in the water, slightly reflective, like a net. It has a blocking effect, blocking a small part of the camera lens, so what is shown in the photograph is not the complete North Water Gate.

"There is something in the water, it is a mirror, although it blocks the scenery outside the North Water Gate, but it is the lake that reflects it, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find anything abnormal at all. "That's my initial idea.

In this case, the presence of the mirror will only be noticed when entering and exiting the North Water Gate.

"If it is a divine water mirror, then anyone who walks under the North Water Gate will first hit the mirror, and then they will repeat the strange thing of people being swallowed by the mirror. In other words, someone deliberately chose a hidden passage to set up a divine water mirror, and its intention must be to destroy the enemy unknowingly without causing panic among the enemy's groups. "I speculate further.

I opened my eyes, and the big man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it strange that this seems like a test?" I asked.

The big man nodded deeply: "That's right, it's a test." If you can't even pick out these two photos, we will lose confidence in you, and the cooperation will not continue. ”

I sneered and shook my head.

"Sorry, but this test is part of the cooperation. Said the big man.

This was the second time he had apologized to me, and his arrogance was gone, leaving only an endless sense of admiration.

Among the remaining photos, two more are taken of Zeng Di under the moon. Not surprisingly, at the upper entrance of an arched bridge, the mirror reappeared.

"Since someone has taken this mirror, isn't it like digging for something when they get it?" I asked.

The big man first clarified one point: "Mr. Xia, the photo is from World War II military reporter Kyotama Ohno, all the shooting was carried out on the spot, and there was no forgery." I searched for the materials with the same question in mind, and the answer was what was said on the following paper. The materials in the folder are all originals taken from the National World War II Archives - for fear that you may doubt their authenticity. Let's take a look at the text first, and we'll talk about it after we've finished it. ”

The text was concise and to the point, using kanji rather than Japanese.

You must know that most of the reporters accompanying the army in World War II were Japanese spies who had been hiding in China for a long time, and all of them were China experts. Their mission is not only to spy on intelligence, but also to take over the local government in the future. Therefore, this special spy force is composed of high-level Japanese intellectuals, all of whom are experts in the military, culture, and folklore.

What Kyotama Ohno wrote was as follows: "What I photographed was not a mirror, but something like a blister, which should not be touched, and would shatter when touched. The military department's telegram repeatedly reminded that this kind of thing is the monster that devours soldiers. I don't believe in blister cannibalism, but guess it's some kind of Chinese thaumaturgy. Although the soldiers of the military department are known for their loyalty and bravery, in the face of thaumaturgy, they fall like ice cubes into the furnace, and no matter how hard they are, they will eventually turn into water. Therefore, I propose to ask the military headquarters for help and send more war correspondents to find out where there may be blisters and minimize the casualties among soldiers. In addition, it is recommended to ask for help from Tokyo and send all the elites of the Mt. Fuji thaumaturgist sect in China to the battlefield in North China to fight the Chinese thaumaturgists to the death. The Chinese are not tofu, but leather bands, which seem soft, but are actually quite tough. We have defeated the defenders, but we may not be able to conquer the people here. I believe that there are too many hateful Chinese thaumaturgists in the city of Jinan, and it is not a good thing for us to occupy this place, but it is like sitting on a red-hot stove. If this happens all the time, we will end up burned to the ashes and unable to be loyal to the Emperor. ”

This is a conscientious proposal, and it seems that Ono Kyotama is a die-hard loyalist of the royalists, and between the lines, it is all for the sake of the expeditionary plans of the Japanese military department.

"If there are enough cannibalistic blisters, the Chinese can kill the occupying forces and retake the city of Jinan without a single shot." "I feel sorry for it.

Thaumaturgy is a double-edged sword, and the thaumaturgy in the world appears in pairs, where there is a spear and a shield, where there is fire and water, where there is ice and snow, there is a hot sun, where there is a stream and a lake, there is a bridge, restraining each other, growing and dissipating each other, and there will be no one-sided situation.

After the disappearance of the three wings, the Japanese military department must have taken the strictest precautions to stop the continuous success of the person who manipulated the Shenxiang Water Mirror.

"What does this information say?" I asked knowingly.

"Of course, it means that the Divine Water Mirror is in Jinan City, and the person who manipulates it must be from Jinan. Said the big man.

The basis for his judgment is not to mention that he also knows that because the manipulators have been attacking the Jinan occupation army for a long time, the first large-scale killing was on the south side of the Luokou pontoon bridge, and people with a slight view of the overall situation can see that everything he did was to "protect the city".

"You also said that countless spies have infiltrated Jinan, and they have dug three feet inside and outside the city, and they have found nothing. Now, taking out all this information probably won't help. I said.

In fact, at this moment, I already have an idea in my heart that is gradually taking shape, but I don't want to tell the other party. Even if it wasn't a war time, I wouldn't want to help the Japanese achieve any of their wishes.

"Mr. Xia, are you lying?" The big man was very shrewd, and my words just now were perfunctory, and he immediately saw through them.

I shook my head: "Lying? Now that everyone doesn't know the truth, how can they lie?"

The big man slowly stood up and stared at my face.

I calmly met his gaze, my heart was like a cold pool, calm and calm.

"The Japanese also know physiognomy, they know how to read minds, they know how to read people, and they know how to have a sixth sense......," he said.

I didn't answer, if my guess is correct, then the Divine Aspect Water Mirror is in Daming Lake. There must be water before there are blisters, and in Jinan, the place where blisters can be produced and some valuable things can be hidden is Daming Lake.

Of course, I was able to get this answer, and the most important thing was with the help of my sixth sense.

When the sixth sense makes a judgment, it does not need any basis, any reason, any empirical evidence, but just a finger in the hand, and the direction is extremely correct.

According to the official history, Daming Lake has never dried up. As for the folk saying, it is said that the deepest part of Daming Lake is 80 meters to 100 meters, the largest grass carp in it is 4 meters long, and the grass turtle weighs 100 catties, which are rare and strange things in the world. Therefore, it is not easy to drain the water of Daming Lake, knowing that there are treasures hidden in it, but it is unattainable.

"Okay, since Mr. Xia doesn't want to talk about your new discovery, then I can't force it. The big man suddenly changed his attitude.

I didn't let my guard down, after all, the other party attached great importance to the Divine Appearance Water Mirror, and after providing me with these secret information, I was definitely not willing to return in vain.

"It's not that I won't cooperate, it's that I really don't know, I can't see anything. "I lowered my posture and deliberately remained humble.

"Okay. The big man put the photo and letterhead back in his briefcase, "My people will send you away, so stop here." ”

His calm attitude surprised me, and he really had no intention of keeping customers, and seemed to have despaired.

The big man walked out, and then Han Yingzhen walked in.

"Mr. Xia, we can go. There is an airstrip on this island for our planes to take off. During the landing, Mr. Quinn accidentally had an accident and suffered an abrasion to his ear wheel, but he was properly treated and was not in any danger to his life. The rest of the crew were safe enough to take us back to Area 51. Han Yingzhen said.

"Do you want to go back?" Miss Han, your identity has been exposed, and going there will only be a dead end!" I asked in surprise.

Han Yingzhen replied: "This is an order from the boss and must not be disobeyed." Even if you know that it is a moth throwing fire, you have to go. ”

This really is the saddest fate of a spy, who cannot rely on the organization to protect him, and is instead thrown out like a used rag to appease the anger of Area 51.

"That's really...... What your boss is doing is really incomprehensible. I can only smile wryly.

I'm not the creator, so I can't solve Han Yingzhen's problem.

This is the result that Quinn is happy to see, take Han Yingzhen away, at least he can give an explanation to the organization and shirk his negligence.

Han Yingzhen has become the only victim, she is a knife warrior, she is a fish and meat, and she doesn't even have a little autonomy.

"Please, Mr. Xia. She said.

"Maybe you should make your own request to your boss instead of throwing yourself into the net. Live well, it's more important than anything else. "That's all I can say.

Han Yingzhen was very calm and took me all the way out.

When he saw Quinn, he was curled up on a wooden plank and fell asleep.

"Mr. Quinn, we can go. Han Yeong-jin woke up Quinn.

"Where are you going, don't kill me, don't kill me!" Quinn's emotions had collapsed, and he rolled over, clutching the plank, refusing to let go.

Seeing his performance, I was very emotional.

Before these spies were captured, they were all big people. In an instant, they fell from a high altitude to the mortal world, becoming a prisoner on the verge of death, and it was difficult for them to accept this, and they could not face death calmly at all. Compared with him and Han Yingzhen, the latter knew that he would die after returning to Area 51, but he was surprisingly calm and did not show a trace of fear.

"We have been released and are going back to District 51. I said.

There is surveillance in this cell, and Quinn's ugliness will definitely fall into the eyes of the big guys, and he will lose the face of District 51.

"What?" Quinn didn't understand, looking at me in a daze.

I pulled him up and repeated again: "Miss Han will send us back to Area 51, we have been released and can go." ”

Quinn was silent for more than ten seconds, convinced that I was telling the truth, and then suddenly leaned on my shoulder and cried, like a terrified country woman.

The big man did what he said, and Han Yingzhen led me and Quinn out without encountering a single obstacle.

Out of this building, I saw a runway stretching out between the sea and the sky due east, straight as an arrow, and the momentum was terrifying.

In addition to a Boeing plane with no nationality indicated, there was also a helicopter gunship parked on the runway next to it, which was supposed to be the car of the big man.

The range of helicopter gunships is limited, and I can deduce from this that this small island is very close to the Japanese mainland, almost within 200 kilometers.

There was no danger in this forced landing, and it was not a bad thing to meet the Japanese bigwigs. The only thing that worried me was the sudden change of attitude of the big man at the end, and the quick eviction order caught me off guard.

"The only explanation was that I didn't have any attraction to him at the time, and he didn't think it was worth wasting any more time on me - mind reading! He must have been a master of mind reading, and after applying mind reading on me, he learned about my judgment of the Divine Mirror. Alas, it's still careless!" I was annoyed.

The big man was a civilian official, who had been the chief of staff of the former prime minister a few years ago, and had not heard of him practicing thaumaturgy. Further back, although he was also born in the police industry, he has no historical record of firearms and fighting, and has always left the impression of being polite and weak in the eyes of everyone.

If he were a master of mind reading, he would be able to read my heart. Of course, if he wants to find the Divine Water Mirror from the vast Daming Lake, it is not a huge project that can be completed in three days and five days.

"Quinn, hurry up. I whispered.

If we can successfully board the plane and take off, then I will immediately contact Mrs. Hong and ask her to send someone to stop the big operation that the big man is about to launch in the city of Jinan.

The weather is fine and the white clouds are long, which is the best time to fly high.

When we reached the tarmac, the ramp had already been lowered.

Quinn pushed me away, stumbled forward, got up the gangway first, climbed as fast as he could, and slammed into the cabin like a startled bird.

"He was terrified. I said.

"yes, he didn't expect to land on this island, and he was already caught as soon as he woke up. I put two sleeping pills in his teacup, which was a work plan that had been made for a long time. Han Yingzhen said.

"Miss Han, I will advise you one last time. Let's go back, even if you are disposed of by the organization, it is better than going to the 51 area to be punished. I know it's a trap, so why jump off?"

At this moment, I am already standing on the first step of the gangway. If Han Yingzhen stops, I can board the plane and leave quickly.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, you are really a gentleman. Han Yingzhen said, and then lowered her voice again, "Be careful, someone is using mind reading to explore the secrets of your heart." ”

"Big shot?" I asked.

Han Yingzhen nodded slightly, and then followed onto the gangway.

I couldn't stop her, so I had to board the plane.

As soon as I sat down on the plane, before I could fasten my seatbelt, I had a strange sensation in my heart.

It was like someone was sticking a soft brush into my body and slowly sweeping it over my internal organs, disturbing but very useful. Later, not only did I have that feeling on my chest, but also the temples on both sides, the Tianling Gaibaihui acupoint, and the jade pillow acupoint at the back of my head all had the feeling of being "cleaned".

I threw up my hands and clasped my temples.

The sensation on my temples grew stronger, and under my fingertips, I could feel something inside rushing outward, trying to break through the flesh and fly straight out.

"Mr. Xia, don't resist desperately, the result of the collision of the brains of the two sides will only turn you into an unconscious vegetative person. It's better to let it be, and take whatever the other party wants. Only in this way can we save our lives. Han Yingzhen said with a serious face and a low tone.

She sat on my right side, and at this moment she stretched out her left hand and pressed it on my heart.

"I ...... I couldn't help but resist, because I felt the power that was going to swallow me. I had to fight as hard as I could to make sure my sanity wasn't controlled by the other side. Miss Xia, if I can't hold on and become an idiot or a vegetative person, then please help me and end my life directly, please. I said.

I underestimated the strength of the Japanese greats, and they deserved to suffer this catastrophe.

Han Yingzhen smiled bitterly: "We don't know who will die first!"

The plane started and began to race towards the end of the horizon. Later, as long as it rises in the air, we will be safe.

Quinn, who had been obscene and afraid of death, suddenly stood up and walked towards the cockpit of the plane.

"What is he going to do?" Han Yingzhen immediately stood up.

"Leave him alone, please take a seat. I stretched out my right hand, pressed Han Yingzhen's shoulder, and made her sit down obediently with a slight force.

Quinn entered the cockpit for half a minute, and immediately came out with a bunch of keys and opened the equipment safe on the right side. Soon, he got a long gun with a scope, and at the same time carried a * crossbody over his shoulder.

This is a special plane in the 51 area, and the weapon system is fully guaranteed.

Immediately, I noticed that the plane was flying and circling in the sky, and I had no intention of leaving the island.

"Kill them all!" cried Quinn, throwing * at me.

I subconsciously took the gun with both hands, and even if I didn't agree with his approach, it was perfectly correct to have a gun to defend myself, at least to avoid being pointlessly restrained again.
