Chapter 186: Misfortune Comes from the Mouth
I used to think that Boss Tang was a character, and he could speak from all sides.
Later, as I experienced more, I saw more and more strange people of all kinds, and I suddenly felt that Boss Tang was not very good.
After raising so many corpses, I didn't see how powerful he became.
Boss Tang was used to my cold tone, and said with a smile: "Zhou Tianqi? What are you looking for him? He's a big problem right now, and whoever gets caught in it is unlucky. ”
It seems that Boss Tang doesn't know the relationship between Zhou Tianqi and me, let alone the black and white group's Jin Xieyu dealing with Zhou Tianqi, is actually for me.
I said impatiently, "Why is it so hard?" Do you say it or not? If you don't say it, I'll ask someone! ”
Boss Tang hurriedly replied: "Don't! Don't mind! ”
"Let me tell you, today he took a group of people to the Black and White Group to talk about things! Good guy, that's really a master! ”
"Wutai Mountain, Berlin Zen Temple, Guangji Temple, and even the people of the Ludong Tie family are here! That scene, tsk! The one surnamed Zhou has a lot of friends! ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhou Tianqi hadn't had an accident.
Besides, Zhou Tianqi is not a soft egg, since he failed to find red ginseng and invited so many masters to come over, the black and white group must give him some face.
I said, "Thank you, Boss Tang!" ”
On the other end of the phone, Boss Tang was still shouting, saying that the news was a favor and would be returned in the future. I didn't care about it, hung up the phone directly, and went straight to the branch of the black and white group.
Speaking of the Black and White Group, it is headquartered in Kyoto and has a board of directors.
According to the division of the thirty-six town guards, thirty-six branches were set up to serve all the exorcists in Middle-earth.
In the early days of the Black and White Group, the relationship between the Special Cases Division and the Black and White Group was indeed very good, at least all the materials needed by the Special Cases Department were collected from all over the world by the Black and White Group's exploration team.
It's just that with the development of the times, with the increase in demand for exorcists, and as the monetary interests become more and more moving, the black and white group has slowly changed its taste.
They tried to monopolize the trade in magic weapons in the entire Middle Earth, monopolizing all the raw materials produced in the Yin and Yang worlds, but they were strongly resisted by the Special Case Division.
At this time, the special case department finally realized the strength of the black and white group, after all, in a sense, the black and white group has become a sharp sword in the hands of capital.
If the black and white clique is not contained, I am afraid that even the war preparation materials needed by the special case department will have to be purchased from the black and white clique at that time.
The Special Cases Division will not allow the black and white group to jam its own throat.
So I don't know when, a war without gunpowder began.
This is not a business war in the ordinary sense, but it must also be done within the rules.
To this end, the Special Case Division has set up four ghost markets to dilute the monopoly of the black and white group.
The first, second, and third, research institutes have been vigorously developed, so that researchers have been suppressing the black and white group at the technical level.
At the same time, an order was also issued to the thirty-six town guards to develop their own exploration teams to explore all the supernatural things within their borders and even outside their borders.
Over the past few years, the market share of the black and white group has gradually decreased, and the Special Cases Division has finally taken all the armaments and materials and technology into its own hands.
But at this time, people found out that the center of gravity of the black and white group has gradually shifted abroad.
In addition to the nominal headquarters in Kyoto, in fact, only eighteen of their one hundred and eight exploration teams remained in Middle-earth, and the rest were all outside the country to open up new markets and new resources.
Even the black and white group has many important partners overseas.
Middle-earth is actually very helpless, after all, he can manage his own one-third of an acre, and he is really powerless against exorcists abroad.
They are also worried that the black and white group will become more and more powerful, and eventually become a powerful force that monopolizes the world, but they can't reach it, so they can only sigh secretly.
Jin Xieyu is the general manager of the Black and White Group in North China, in charge of all material transactions and personnel management in North China. It can be regarded as a high weight.
The location of the branch is also the most prosperous area in the urban area, Guang'an Street.
Although I hadn't taken a bath or slept for several days, Chang Wanqing and I, in line with the idea of saving people first, didn't even have time to rest, and hurriedly drove the car into the underground parking lot of the Black and White Group.
The security guard in the parking lot was well-informed, and although our car was dusty and dirty, he did not underestimate us in the slightest, and walked over quickly, saying, "You two, are you the exorcists who are here to participate in the black-and-white meeting?" ”
Chang Wanqing rolled down the window and said lightly: "Chang Wanqing, the demon hand of northern Jin." ”
When the security guard heard Chang Wanqing's name, he hurriedly bent down and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Chang from Jinbei, please!" ”
He took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Mr. Chang Wanqing, the demon slayer in the north of Jinbei, bring your disciples to the meeting, and the reception above." ”
As he spoke, he trotted briskly to the elevator entrance and greeted us respectfully.
I stood next to Chang Wanqing and never said a word, that fat man named Jin Xiyu had bad intentions towards me, and he could keep a low profile.
Anyway, the other party recognized me as Chang Wanqing's disciple Ah Qi, so let them be.
The elevator went up quickly, and soon it reached the 28th floor. After the elevator door opened, a man in a security uniform stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Chang, please!" ”
Don't look at me and Chang Wanqing's whole body is dirty, it is estimated that there is a rancid smell on our bodies.
But most of the security guards hired by the black and white group are some exorcists who have just entered the industry, and they know that exorcists are unkempt, not to mention us who are in a hurry, even if there is a corpse chaser with the smell of corpses all over their bodies, they will not change their faces and greet each other with a smile.
The security guard led us down the hallway, and suddenly we turned a corner into a large conference hall.
There were a lot of people in the conference hall, some standing, some sitting on chairs, and some leaning against the corner, looking at the whole room.
I swept my gaze and saw Zhou Tianqi at a glance.
Compared with Zhou Tianqi before, he is now much thinner and darker. He was wearing a casual suit and his breath was a little disordered.
The main thing is that there seem to be two small holes in his neck, which are constantly bubbling black gas.
That black gas is more like a kind of yin qi, that is, I don't know if it was a zombie or an evil ghost.
I think this is the injury he left after going to Changbai Mountain, and it has not healed until now.
Zhou Tianqi sat on the chair on the stage, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was recuperating.
Next to him, several monks, dressed in robes or holding Zen staffs, also sat motionless on the ground.
Although there were many people in the hall, there was no sound coming out.
Chang Wanqing and I saw that the atmosphere was weird, and we didn't dare to speak. It's just that Chang Wanqing stabbed me lightly and whispered, "The town guard in North China!" Fang Jian Pavilion! ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, I saw a tall young man sitting in the guest seat.
He was wearing a black combat uniform and carrying a long sword on his back, not a rune combat knife of the Special Crime Division. His waist was like a long sword, straight as if he couldn't bend down.
Probably aware that we had just come in, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at us, and then silently closed his eyes to rest.
I almost shuddered when he looked at him like this, this guy's eyes were like swords, and the eyes of the stabbing people were very uncomfortable.
Seeing that he is young, he actually sits in the position of the town guard in North China, on an equal footing with those fifty or sixty-year-old guys, this guy is really a bit of a doorway!
I was afraid of attracting his attention, so I didn't dare to look more, but found a place with few people and stood there quietly.
During this period, I kept looking at Zhou Tianqi and found that he never opened his eyes, and the black qi in the wound on his neck was getting thinner and thinner, which should be suppressed with the help of the yang energy emitted from the exorcist here.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit depressing, and I was at a loss.
It's just that after a while, a few more exorcists were brought in by the security guards, just looking at their vague steps and the aura on their bodies, they are not great masters.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly said loudly, "The shelf of the golden evil jade is too big, right?" More than 200 exorcists here are waiting for him, how long do we have to wait? ”
I looked at the man, and I saw that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an angry face and angry at some of the staff.
Those staff didn't dare to offend him, and they apologized one after another, but another exorcist sneered: "Hurry a fart!" You suddenly visited the Black and White Group, and you didn't even say hello beforehand! ”
"What's the matter? As soon as Zhou Tianqi came, our general manager had to put down everything to greet him? Does he deserve it? ”
The young man was furious: "If Brother Zhou is not worthy of letting him come to meet!" Who is still eligible for this? ”
"The general manager of the Black and White Group, is it amazing?"
The other side said coldly: "If you don't want to, get out, no one here is stopping you!" ”
"A group of exorcists who forgot their righteousness for profit and stole red ginseng dared to bring people to the black and white group to reason, is it a shame? If I were you, I would have crashed to death on the steps! ”
The exorcists present frowned when he said this, to be honest, the exorcists of Middle-earth regard face as more important than life.
If the word of stealing gets out, the reputation will be ruined.
An elderly man with white hair said lightly: "What the hell is going on, there is no conclusion yet, young man, it is better to have a doorkeeper on your mouth, you should still understand the truth that the trouble comes from your mouth, right?" ”
The man on the other side sneered: "Come on, what they did, we can't say?" Even the North China town guard personally convicted them, and they were both stolen! You still want to turn the sky upside down, don't you? ”
"Tell you, don't think that if you find someone to intercede, that's it! Middle-earth is a place of rules! Even if the Grand Commander himself comes! I can't save those two thieves! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cup suddenly flew out of the crowd and smashed it on his mouth with a thud.
The force was so great that half of the teeth of the person who only smashed it were shattered, and his mouth was full of blood, and he roared in pain.
Someone said lightly: "Boy, disaster comes from the mouth, and that's what it means." Don't talk so much in the future, it's easy to get beaten! ”
