Chapter 17 Mission
Late at night, at Wu Yuan's house in the west of the city.
Lin Shan poked through the window paper of the wing room and saw a middle-aged fat man sleeping soundly inside, and next to him should be his wife.
After waiting for a while, I felt there was no movement, so I quietly opened the door and slipped in. I knocked the fat man on the bed unconscious and carried him outside to the yard. There happened to be a well in the courtyard, and there were buckets and ladles beside the well.
A ladle of cold water was poured on the fat man, and the fat man was shocked. Before he could shout, a long knife was already placed on his neck.
"Keep your voice down, I'll ask you questions."
A cold voice came from next to him. Wu Yuanwai, who had just been doused with cold water, his mind suddenly became excited and he immediately woke up.
He didn't dare to look up. He wasn't sure whether the assassin was wearing a mask or not. After all, he knew some of the rules on the road. If you didn't see the assassin's face, you might still be alive, but if you saw it, he would definitely die, so he nodded lightly in cooperation.
"Do you know Yelang Tomb?"
"Know know"
"You were the first to find it, right?"
"My men found it."
"What did you bring out from inside?"
"Buddha statue, golden bell."
"Gone?"
"No more."
The knife on his neck was pressed tightly again, and Wu Yuanwai felt something warm flowing down.
"Really gone?"
"It's really gone! I can ask the people below to explain it to you in detail."
Member Wu was so anxious that he almost cried.
Lin Shan tried to intimidate but still didn't get anything out of the question, and his expression turned cold: "You call all the people who have entered the ancient tomb over here, and I will keep an eye on you from behind. Don't play any tricks!"
For the sake of ancient charm, Lin Shan naturally refused to let go of every detail.
……
After a while, in addition to the naked member Wu, Lin Shan, who kept a knife on his neck, there were five shirtless men standing side by side in the yard.
These five people were all asleep when Wu Yuanwai came in and shook them awake and told them to keep quiet. Then they were led to the yard one by one, only to find a black-clad killer standing there coldly, waiting for them with a big knife.
Several people looked at each other, but Lin Shan didn't waste any words: "Besides the Golden Bell Buddha statue, what else did you bring out from the ancient tomb?"
"No more."
"No more."
"No more."
…
No matter how the five people asked, they all said there were only golden bells and Buddha statues.
"Is it true that such a large Yelang ancient tomb only brought out these two things?" Lin Shan's eyes flickered between Wu Yuanwai and the five people, wondering whether they had already colluded to confess.
It was already five o'clock in the morning, dark clouds covered the moon in the sky, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly dull for a moment.
Among the five people, there was a short and thin man with a pockmarked face. He hesitated and opened his mouth slightly: "This hero Mingjian, the young ones did find a lot of things in the tomb room at that time, but when they came out of the tomb, they encountered ghosts."
Speaking of this, the pock-marked thin man swallowed and recalled with palpitations,
"At that time, we were carrying the Buddha statue and the golden bell. A coffin at the back suddenly opened by itself, and a green-faced and fanged ghost jumped out. In order to escape, we threw away all the other tomb objects in the secret passage of the tomb, leaving only the black Buddha, which seemed to be the most valuable. and the Golden Bell.”
"You said you saw that ghost coming out of the coffin?"
Lin Shan looked shocked! Are there still zombies in this world?
"That's right!"
"Really!"
"I saw it too!"......
The people in front of them all looked confident, and the fear they showed didn't seem to be fake.
"Later we came back to spread the news, hoping that someone would go in and explore the way for us, but it turned out."
Lin Shan could guess what he said before he said anything else.
The golden bells and Buddha statues brought back by this group of people were extraordinary. After tasting the sweetness, they were naturally reluctant to part with other things thrown away from the tomb. So he encouraged the greedy people in the city to visit the grave again and serve as cannon fodder for them.
If you die, it's all over. If you come back alive, you'll be punished
Lin Shan asked other questions, such as the identity of the nobleman from the capital who bought the giant black lotus statue, but Wu Yuanwai also said he did not know. The big shot just paid for it and left no information.
Lin Shan tortured them carefully again, and after confirming that he could get no other information, he had no choice but to knock them all unconscious and throw them in the yard, then climbed over the wall and walked away.
I don’t know what thoughts Wu Yuanwai’s family members would have when they saw six men lying naked in the yard after dawn.
……
Half an hour later, Lin Shan arrived at the "Jing'an Hall" in the north of the city, where Nightingale took over the helm.
Walking into the first floor, people were still coming and going in the lobby, and killers in black came in and out from various entrances and exits from time to time.
Lin Shan walked directly to a counter next to him: "I need all the information about Yelang Tomb."
The intelligence officer behind the counter had an expressionless face: "The following members of the Dharma Protector can only check if they accept relevant tasks."
Linshan "."
Turning around and walking to the center of the lobby, Lin Shan looked at the giant mission curtain hanging from the fourth floor. After searching for a while, he finally found five or six missions in the southeast corner about Yelang Tomb:
"Investigate the identity of the missing person in Yelang Tomb and contribute 10 points."
"Investigate the strength of the ghosts in Yelang Tomb and contribute 15 points."
"Retrieve the map lost in Yelang Tomb and contribute 15 points."
……
It seems that a month has passed and there are still not a few people paying attention to Yelang Tomb.
The tasks of these employers are even more varied. Some want to know who has gone in, some want to know the strength of ghosts, and some want to get the map of the tomb passage
Lin Shan looked at the mission panel, struggling fiercely in his heart whether to accept these missions or not. After all, Wu Yuanwai's subordinates just now vividly described the horror and weirdness of the zombies in the coffin, and so many people who entered the ancient tomb disappeared like waves.
I am a young warrior who has just become an acquired warrior. Can I really have the ability to go in and complete the mission?
The rule of the Nightingale organization is that once a killer takes on a mission, no one else can take it on before the mission expires. But as long as you accept it, you must execute it!
Even if you fail, you still have to execute it!
For example, if Lin Shan accepts the task of exploring Yelang's ancient tomb, he must at least go in and either complete the task or have evidence of having performed the task.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as breaking the rules, maliciously obstructing the progress of the mission, and will be hunted down by the Nightingale organization.
At this time, people were coming and going in the lobby, and the killers passing by were busy doing their own business. Lin Shan stood in the middle for a while and turned a blind eye. The staff on the side were not surprised.
Which killer doesn't lick blood? They have seen this kind of thing too many times among novices who hesitate and struggle.
……
After struggling for a long time, Lin Shan gritted his teeth and accepted it!
He had to buy the golden clock he saw during the day as soon as possible, otherwise someone else would get there first a few months later, and the 8 o'clock ancient charm would be missed. As for three thousand taels of gold, it was simply not enough to accumulate over time, and even a little bit of it was too late to rob the rich and help the poor.
I can only find a way to get rich overnight!
After all, the five ordinary people under Wu Yuanwai were able to escape, so he himself as a warrior is not without a chance.
What's more, if you can find the funerary objects they left behind when escaping in the secret passage of the ancient tomb before the ghosts wake up, and obtain the ancient rhyme in advance, then you will have a greater chance of survival
Lin Shan came to the mission office and handed over his identity token, "I will take mission No. 75."
The Nightingale staff was very professional and quickly handed him the identity token and a sign with "seventy-five" engraved on it.
"Killer Xin Ershiyi, accept mission No. 75, to discover the identity of the missing person in Yelang Tomb, within ten days."
Lin Shan turned around and walked to the intelligence office, handed the No. 75 sign to the intelligence officer, and the other person nodded, found a pile of information and handed it to him. Lin Shan found a window, jumped out and disappeared.
What he didn't notice was that after he left, a man in black walked out from the side, with a scar looming between his eyebrows.
"Xin Ershiyi, your boy finally appeared!"
