Volume 1 The Beginning of Chaos Chapter 172 The Mysterious Island
Clear Water Bay Wharf, the only land and water wharf in Anseong, in recent years, because of the rise of the logistics industry, seems to be more and more lively, from morning to night is a crowded scene, almost not a moment of interruption.
The other party's choice of such a place was not unexpected by Yun Lan, the more ordinary people gathered, the more scruples the administrators of the Immortal Demon Administration became, and many methods could not be revealed in front of people, but those with ulterior motives could use all kinds of means unscrupulously in this environment.
From this point of view, the other party should know the fairy and demon management bureau very well, and has deeply studied the style of the business department, it is definitely not a temporary location, but I don't know if I can see the true face of the other party this time.
In such an environment, it is really suitable for the people behind the scenes to do something, and it would be a pity if they just left a note again as before!
Following the address given on the note, Yun Lan soon came to the No. 8 warehouse at Qingshuiwan Wharf, but the area of the warehouse in front of him was really beyond Yun Lan's expectations.
Yun Lan's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes subconsciously fell on the meaningful smile on the note, secretly speculating about the intentions of the person behind the scenes.
The address given on the first note is very clear, and the location of the phone booth is deliberately marked, apparently not only for the sake of pretense, but also for a temptation, and then the second note is used to lead to the following.
In that case, all the information on the note must be useful, and this meaningful smiling face should also represent some kind of hint, otherwise it would be too difficult to find the clues you need in Warehouse Eight!
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party will appear directly, but this probability is very small, once Yun Lan arranges the back hand and deceives the other party's first round of arrangement, this kind of action is purely unpleasant!
What the hell is it? Yun Lan's eyes began to look around, and she kept walking towards the warehouse along the neatly arranged containers, not daring to miss any clues around her.
However, after looking around, in addition to successfully attracting the attention of the warehouse staff, Yun Lan never gained anything, and even began to doubt his own judgment, maybe the person behind the curtain is now hiding in some hidden corner secretly observing himself, just waiting for complete peace of mind to show up!
If this is the case, Yun Lan will be relieved, but thinking about it, she knows that it is impossible, judging from the other party's cautious behavior before, it is really impossible to make such a nonsensical move.
Raising his head and moving his somewhat sore neck slightly, Yun Lan's corner of his eyes suddenly saw an arc-shaped white line, and he subconsciously shifted his attention to the location of the white line.
"This line ......"
Following the direction of the line, Yun Lan began to move her steps, but saw that with the change of direction, the white arc hidden on the ceiling became more and more obvious, and faintly began to form the shape of a smiling face, but it was the smiling face drawn on the note before!
As the pattern became clearer and clearer, Yun Lan's orientation was gradually approaching a container in the corner, and Yun Lan, who was looking up to find the angle, seemed to be unaware of this!
Suddenly, a small knife was against Yun Lan's lower back, according to the area pointed by the tip of the knife, the other party should be an experienced veteran, as long as Yun Lan dared to make any resistance, this knife could easily pierce Yun Lan's spleen, causing a large amount of internal bleeding, which could kill people in a short time.
Of course, these are only theoretical possibilities, if the target the other party wants to deal with is just an ordinary person, this kind of attack may indeed be useful, but as an ordinary person, it will inevitably seem a little ridiculous to threaten a demon king-level master with a knife like this!
"Be honest, you should understand the rules, right?
Behind Yun Lan stood a short, middle-aged man with dark skin, his small eyes full of fierce light were full of fear, even in the face of Yun Lan, a woman who didn't seem to be a threat, he didn't relax his vigilance at all.
But that's all, no matter how vigilant the other party is, if Yun Lan really wants to take the other party's life, it will definitely not take more than a blink of an eye, otherwise he will not let the other party quietly touch his back without being guarded.
What the hell is the person behind the scenes, sending such an ordinary person, aren't they afraid that they will kill the other party directly by mistake?
Although there were some doubts in her heart, Yun Lan still blindfolded her eyes with a black cloth according to the other party's request, anyway, this way would not affect her perception, if it wasn't for the fear of arousing the other party's suspicion, Yun Lan didn't even need to rely on the other party's guidance, and could walk directly to the corresponding container.
"Stay honest, you can remove the black cloth after you go to sea, the container is equipped with a signal jammer, if you bring those things, it's better to take them out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be only a dead end if you search out!"
In addition to the short middle-aged man, there were five other people in the container, distributed in all corners of the container, with serious expressions on their faces, judging from their faces, they should not be good people!
Yun Lan was not very interested in the identities of these people, after all, the Immortal Demon Administration Bureau never intervened in the disputes of ordinary people, as long as these people did not provoke themselves, Yun Lan did not plan to do anything, and she was very cooperative when she heard the words, and she was quite a bit of a guest.
The waiting time was not long, and as the sound of several hooks and locks on the container sounded, Yun Lan clearly felt a sense of weightlessness, obviously the container was slowly rising, heading towards a certain cargo ship.
The few people around didn't react at all, obviously they had already gotten used to this change, and Yun Lan also didn't show any fuss, just a little curious about how the other party communicated with each other?
Since Yun Lan came in, he has never seen the other party have any contact with the outside world, but the outside of the container has changed not long after Yun Lan came in, and when Yun Lan came in before, there were already people secretly monitoring outside!
There was no sound in the container, and even in the extremely boring waiting process, these people had no intention of communicating with each other at all, which made Yun Lan not even have the slightest chance to find out the information, so she could only stay in place silently, looking forward to what would happen next.
After nearly half an hour, the container under him began to move, with the movement of the ship there was a slight shaking, but after a moment of effort, it returned to calm, judging from this point, the ship carrying the container should be not small.
"You can take off the black cloth now, right? It's weird to not be able to see anything, and the ship is sailing anyway, so you shouldn't have to worry about me revealing your whereabouts, right?"
Although Yun Lan didn't care about the existence of Heibu, she wanted to test the other party's attitude and see how far this trip was.
Sure enough, the short middle-aged man who was in charge of answering Yun Lan only hesitated after hearing this, and then replied coldly: "It's okay to take off the black cloth, but don't make other moves, otherwise if I accidentally hurt you, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After Yun Lan heard this, she couldn't wait to take off the black cloth, revealing a relieved and brisk expression, and then deliberately said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Why are you so mysterious, it's not to kill people and set fires, are you afraid that I will sell you?"
"The rules of this industry are like this, since the guests come, they must abide by the rules of the road, otherwise the business will not last long! If the business becomes unsafe, the customers will not come to the door, right?"
The role played by the short middle-aged man obviously belongs to the black face, and after seeing Yun Lan's dissatisfaction, another white-faced man with a smile on his face came up and patiently explained, which can be regarded as calming Yun Lan's emotions.
Yun Lan just snorted coldly when she heard this, pretending to be disdainful, and then glared at the short middle-aged man again, expressing her inner dissatisfaction.
The sailing speed of the cargo ship is not slow, according to Yun Lan's perception, it has already been some distance from the port, and it stands to reason that it should stop, otherwise the destination will inevitably be too far away from Anseong!
Sure enough, not long after Yun Lan had just risen this thought, the short middle-aged man had already pushed open the door of the container and walked out, and a breeze with water vapor blew in along the door, which made people feel refreshed.
"Let's go, when you get to the place, you can go to the island by changing to a dinghy, and then someone else will be responsible for picking you up, I hope the guests can return satisfied!"
The white-faced man before politely invited Yun Lan out of the container, but the meaning of his words made Yun Lan a little puzzled, this trip was mainly to inquire about the whereabouts of the group of mole demons, the other party could not guess this, after going to the island, he should meet some other people, could it be that the person he was looking for was on the island?
Walking out of the container with full doubts, Yun Lan became more and more curious about the person who sent the letter behind the scenes, what was the other party for, did he really just want to help himself, and he didn't want to expose his identity because of this?
The dinghy that the white-faced man said had stopped at the side of the boat, and because of the height difference, there was a pulley set between the hull and the dinghy, and you only needed to sit on the small gondola on the pulley block to easily transition to the dinghy.
These special equipment were obviously prepared in advance, and the freighter temporarily broke down after arriving at the place, so even a fool can see that there is some kind of collusion between the other party and the freighter, but I don't know what the depth of this cooperation is?
Surrounded by a group of ordinary people, Yun Lan seems to be full of confidence, even if she encounters some changes, she can protect herself with her strength, under this distance, even if she swims back hard, it is not impossible, and if there are no worries, there is naturally nothing to worry about.
However, this thought didn't last long, as the boat moved forward quickly, Yun Lan quickly sensed a looming formation fluctuation, and then a dense fog inexplicably appeared not far in front of him, covering everything around him tightly.
The dinghy did not make a detour, but drove straight forward, but under Yun Lan's perception, he could clearly judge that the course of the dinghy had unconsciously changed, and the seemingly straight direction was actually moving quickly in the dense fog along a specific route, as if an invisible hand was controlling all this.
This discovery surprised Yun Lan a lot, the dense fog around him was very weird, and he was completely disoriented before his perception extended far out, with the changes above and below the water, the people in it couldn't get in and out freely, what kind of person had laid down such a big deal here, you must know that this level of formation is not something that ordinary fairies and demons can come up with!
