Chapter 5 Chapter 2 Booby traps

Some people say that stalking is also an art, and now I kind of believe it, the people who stalked us performed this art to the fullest.Lin Zhiyan and I tried our best to get rid of him. "Damn it, what did this person do? Does he know the rules? How could he follow people like that?" Lin Zhiyan said in a low voice, gritting her teeth. That guy obviously knew he had been discovered, but he didn't mind at all, still holding a newspaper while walking and reading.God, it was already ten o'clock at night when we got off the plane. In the middle of the night, are there any idiots walking on the street while reading newspapers?It simply does not comply with the tracking law.

Generally speaking, if stalking is discovered, it should be stopped immediately, and then leave in embarrassment.This guy is really thick-skinned! "It doesn't matter, let him follow, let's go back to the hotel first, maybe we can get clues about the old man from him." I said softly. Lin Zhiyan nodded, and finally showed a trace of worry, "I'm afraid the president is really in trouble. Otherwise, why would people be attracted to follow us!" "That's not necessarily the case. With the treacherous character of the old man, how can people know the truth. I think there is something wrong with the people who followed us. It is definitely not easy."

Lin Zhiyan covered her forehead with a headache, "Trouble. I don't think anyone or a certain force will send someone to wait for us, and they will follow us as soon as we board the plane. You know, the headquarters of the detective agency is in Canada, and we boarded the plane The place is Germany!" "It's very simple. I'm afraid that person followed you when he was in Canada. Judging by his funny look, I'm afraid he is not an enemy." I was noncommittal. "Not an enemy?" She looked at me with a strange expression on her face, then looked at the handsome stalker behind her calmly, and said angrily, "Where did you find out that that weird guy is not an enemy? No Tell me it's a man's intuition!"

I laughed embarrassedly: "Hey, you guessed it right!" Lin Zhiyan stared at me completely speechless, and pinched me fiercely, "Speak seriously! What should we do now?" "Don't worry, Shanren has his own tricks." I looked back mysteriously and smiled treacherously. I dragged Lin Zhiyan along the streets and alleys that I didn't know at all, and that guy also unconsciously followed closely behind us, with a face full of ruffians like "I'll be discovered anyway, I just don't bother to pretend" expression. I smiled and was about to implement my plan.Suddenly there was a strange noise, and a bolt of lightning flashed down abruptly from the sky, and the thick and dazzling light fell on the street not far away. The concrete floor was immediately blasted by that powerful destructive force, and the smoke was confused.

We were completely stunned and had no idea what was going on.Watching the inexplicable lightning, he stood there in a daze like petrified. After an unknown amount of time, I stammered and asked, "What month is it now?" "January 11th." Lin Zhiyan also stammered. "In the geographical location of Lingshan City, will there be thunderstorms in January?" I looked dull. "I've never heard of it. I'm a local, and I've never seen this kind of vision in more than 30 years." The answer was actually the cheeky old man who was following us, and he was probably stunned by fright.

The three of us looked at each other, tacitly let go of all prejudices, and quickly ran in the direction of Luo Lei. It didn't take long to reach the place where the lightning struck, and saw that the concrete road hit by the lightning had been torn apart, and the cement fragments were flying everywhere. And under our feet, a bottomless dark pit suddenly appeared. This pothole can't tell the depth, it just has a strange chill. I randomly picked up a piece of cement on the ground and threw it down, but I didn't hear an echo for a long time.Shaking his head vigorously, he pinched his own face vigorously, after confirming that he was not dreaming, his head suddenly became dilated.

This kind of thing is simply unheard of, it is too incredible! Lin Zhiyan glanced down, put her hands on her shoulders and said, "This thing won't be like the plot in 'World War', where some aliens or monsters emerge from below, right?" I involuntarily glanced down again, and suddenly shuddered.The appearance of this cave is really weird, and the inside is pitch black. If I have to describe it, I would rather believe that it has the possibility of leading to the last layer of hell. The man who was following us stared at the opening of the gaping claws without blinking, and remained silent for a while.

I raised my head and gestured to Lin Zhiyan, and seeing her quietly walking behind the man, I slowly said: "Hey, it's you, now you can tell us why you've been following us all this time, right?" The man still didn't speak, just smiled strangely. Suddenly, a bad feeling crossed my heart.Oops, he wants to run away! Before I could hint, the old woman Lin Zhiyan rushed towards him very cooperatively.I put my hand in my pocket, and firmly grasped the pistol just issued by the detective agency in my pocket, hesitating whether to use it or not. The old woman rushed to his side quickly, hooked her left hand, trying to control his movements.Unexpectedly, that man was not a simple fellow either, he stepped back abruptly, tapped his right foot on the way back, and then changed direction to the left, avoiding Lin Zhiyan's hand.

There was a trace of solemnity on the old woman's face, it seemed that she had met a master.Her kung fu is very solid, her feet don't stop, and she kicked out a chain hook that she is very proud of in an instant. The cheeky old man seemed clumsy, but he still avoided it with unimaginable small steps. After attacking and defending like this for about a few minutes, dazzled by their fast moves, I realized that the guy was far away from my control range.Just as he was about to take out his pistol, the man glanced at me, smiled mysteriously again, and suddenly sprinted back, turning into a dark alley not far away without looking back.

Lin Zhiyan didn't chase after her, but returned to my side in frustration. "You guessed it, this guy is definitely not simple, and he has no ill intentions towards us," she said. I nodded, shook my head and smiled: "Why, how does it feel to meet another man who can overwhelm you?" "Not so good!" She gave me a hard look, "With his ability, he should be able to control our actions without too much effort in a sneak attack, but he didn't, but chose a crappy stalking. Really I don't know what he wants to do!" "No, it's not so much stalking, it's more like, hehe," I paused, and spit out two words: "Protection!"

"What did you say?" Lin Zhiyan looked at me in surprise, but with her clever mind, she quickly reacted, and her expression became even more depressed, "You are right, now that I think about it, he is indeed protecting us. Canada has been following behind to protect me, and when you show up, it will also protect you by the way." This woman, what is by the way!I shrugged my shoulders, "What? Not convinced?" "Nonsense, my mother is here, who else needs to protect me!" She roared angrily, like a human version of a Jurassic Tyrannosaurus Rex. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I said perfunctorily: "I'm afraid, he is a friend of the old man. The old man probably expected something before the accident, so please ask him. Now that he knows that he is protecting us, then this guy It won't be too far away from us, it doesn't matter, there are opportunities for revenge, now, let's go back to the hotel first." Not long after leaving the scene of the lightning strike, the sound of a police siren could be vaguely heard not far away.It seemed that the falling lightning was so powerful that even the police were mobilized. I really want to go down and see what is under the cave if I have the opportunity.Deep in my heart there is always some brooding, I don't know why, I always worry about why I can't hear the sound when I throw things down. It stands to reason that no matter how violent the lightning is, no matter how destructive it is, the hole it makes cannot be so deep that no echo can be heard.Could it be that the cave is really not simple? When I arrived at the hotel I had booked in advance, I casually threw my luggage into the corner, and then fell down hard on the bed. I'm so tired, I didn't expect to feel physically and mentally exhausted within a few hours of arriving in Lingshan City. Originally, I wanted to just rest for the night like this, but it was a pity that people didn't want it. At this moment, there was a very impatient knock on the door. As soon as I heard this unique voice, I knew that the owner must not be a good guy. I shrugged my shoulders and got up helplessly to open the door.Lin Zhiyan was about to raise her foot to kick the door impatiently, but when the door opened, she had no choice but to put her leg back in embarrassment. "What?" I asked angrily.This woman seemed to still have an expression on her face that she thought I opened the door too early. "It's no big deal, I'm going to sleep with you." She said calmly. I was taken aback. I looked like I had seen a ghost, and I stammered: "Is there something wrong with your head, or is your body functioning impaired? I'm not interested in an old woman like you!" "Tch, you thought I would be interested in your skinny body! My old lady condescended to come here because she was afraid that you would be in danger and would be flooded with kindness." She snorted coldly and wanted to come in. I tried my best to stop her: "No, I don't want my innocence to be ruined like this. I don't want to die." "Then you're going to die." She finally got impatient and kicked me in, then threw me into the bathtub without any hesitation, without any ladylike image, and fell asleep on my bed proudly. Damn, this dead woman slept comfortably at night.Facing the cold bathtub, I smiled helplessly again. Who did I provoke me, why have I always been so unlucky recently.If it was me in the past, I would have to... However, speaking of it, even the me in the past seems to be unable to beat her. Forget it, good men don't fight with old women, I will bear it, and I will wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future! With infinite fatigue, I finally fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning, when I opened my eyes, a newspaper was thrown on my head. "Look at the front page." The dead woman was wearing pajamas, drinking coffee leisurely. I rubbed my eyes, and saw these words written on the front page of the newspaper: The city center was struck by lightning at about 1:00 a.m. last night Attack, the ground was destroyed to pieces. When the reporter arrived, he saw only a large crater of unknown depth where the lightning struck. Now that police have stepped in to investigate the damage and the surrounding area has been cordoned off, traffic will be temporarily disrupted as a result.If you have friends who must pass through the city center, please make a detour. Below the front page, there is a space not smaller than the front page, which is written in large characters: Strange plants grow near the city center struck by lightning This "plant" grows extremely fast, even after being uprooted, it will continue to grow, and soon a new one will grow in place. This morning, after receiving a breaking call from readers to this newspaper, the reporter rushed to the vicinity of the city center and saw these miraculous "plants". At around 7:00 in the morning, the reporter saw near the place where the lightning struck in the city center that the "plants" that had been uprooted countless times were more than one meter long, milky white in shape, and looked like a huge ginger, covered with mud. The roots do not have any roots. And in the place where the "plant" was pulled out, an identical "plant" re-grew. It can be seen with the naked eye that the re-grown "plant" is still trembling and growing. "It's amazing, could it be an alien plant?", "Isn't it a genetic mutation of a plant?" Curious citizens speculated about the origin of the "plant". The first person to discover this magical "plant" was Mr. Zhang who got up for morning exercises. Mr. Zhang said that at about six o'clock in the morning, he found that the plant had grown about 20 centimeters, and he didn't pay attention at that time.Unexpectedly, when he was walking back after the morning exercise, he suddenly found that the "plant" had grown by about one meter. "This growth rate is too fast!" Mr. Zhang, who was suspicious, used tools to uproot the "plant" and put it on the ground. Unexpectedly, the "plant" that was pulled out grew a few centimeters tremblingly.Mr. Zhang was taken aback, and quickly called a friend of his, but his friend, a teacher in the Department of Biochemistry, had never known this magical "plant". Coincidentally, at about one o'clock last night, a strange lightning struck the ground near the "plant". It is not known what connection there is between this strange plant and lightning. Now, the relevant departments of this city have rushed to the local area to investigate, and the types of plants still need to be further verified by experts.This newspaper will give further follow-up reports. After watching the news, I immediately sat up, washed up carelessly, then grabbed my coat and wanted to go out.But Lin Zhiyan grabbed her. "Where do you want to go?" she asked. "Nonsense, of course we should go to the scene first." I replied without hesitation. "You think that going to people like this will show you, you have no knowledge! You know, the president is still missing, and we can't act rashly until we find him. Who knows what's going on in Lingshan City now!" She curled his lips. When did this woman become so sensible? "Hmph, and the bastard man yesterday, I don't want to act until I catch him." faint!I knew she was definitely planning something, a woman, being short-tempered can really kill someone.But the scene is definitely going to be there. "Well, I will go to the scene alone, and you will follow me secretly. I think that since that mysterious man may be protecting us, he should also follow me secretly. Then you will observe slowly, See if there are any other suspicious persons. I think there is at least a 60% chance of catching him." I thought about it and said. If I don't stabilize the mad woman in front of me, I probably won't even think about going out. Lin Zhiyan turned her head to think about it, then nodded with a sinister smile, "This plot is not bad, brat, I knew you would have a good idea. Your brain is so easy to use, it would be a waste not to become a politician." "Come on, I'll just take it as you are complimenting me, let's go." I put on my coat with a wry smile, and waited for her to be fully dressed before walking out of the hotel one after the other. Looking at my watch, it was already 9:45 in the morning. I went to the car dealership to rent a Passat, and then drove to the city.As soon as he turned into the First Ring Road of Lingshan City, he found that almost all the lanes had been set up as one-way streets. All vehicles entering the city had to make a detour and avoid the place hit by lightning far away. I parked the car far away in a nearby parking lot, bought a city map, and walked slowly towards my destination.There are a large number of traffic police on duty on the main road to maintain traffic order, and all vehicles that want to turn into the main road are stopped. The police also came with many people and set up a large number of checkpoints to restrict the entry of citizens and media. It seems that it is difficult for non-related people to enter. After observing for a long time, I couldn't find a way to sneak in. I just wanted to go home and discuss it with Lin Zhiyan.Someone suddenly appeared behind me and patted me on the shoulder lightly. I was taken aback. Although I didn't have deep martial arts skills like the old man and Lin Zhiyan, I was still very proud of my eyes and vigilance. I didn't expect someone to pat my shoulder without warning.I stood there very calmly and didn't look back. In this situation, I can stand in a more active position if I don't rush to look back. "Brother, do you still know me?" the man spoke.The voice was low and familiar. "I know, of course I know." I breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "My dear brother who has been following us last night, right. I don't know what's the use of looking for the younger brother?" "I saw that you looked quite distressed, so I wanted to ask if I could help you with a little favor." He also said with a smile.It looked like I guessed, and it was not malicious. "Of course I'd be more than happy if you could be of any help." I was overjoyed again. This man said that he was a local since he was a child, and his kung fu is good. I am afraid he has some skills. Maybe he really has a way to get me in.I smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I want to visit the place that was struck by lightning last night. I don't know if you can help me with this." He glanced in the direction of downtown, then nodded. "No problem, I know there is a secret passage that can take you in." "Thank you very much." I turned my head and glanced behind him, "But before that, you should solve your troubles first." As soon as the words fell, a knife in his hand slashed towards him like the wind.This man is not slow, he got my cue, quickly retreated in my direction, slippery like a loach, swayed in front of me, changed direction quickly, and just hid behind me. Lin Zhiyan's hand saber paused, and then slashed towards me without hesitation. I stood still, and when it was about to hit my neck, the hand saber jerked upwards, across my body, and accurately slashed at me. that man. The man retreated again, but the knife in his hand was coming so fiercely that he had no choice but to raise his right hand to separate it, and put his left hand tightly on his right arm to release the strength. "Why is this beauty always being aggressive towards me? Could it be that she is in love with me?" the man joked. This guy actually dared to tease a ferocious old woman like Lin Zhiyan head-on, he really deserves the cheeky nickname he gave me. "Be careful that my old lady will kill you!" Lin Zhiyan became very angry, her face was livid, and as soon as she pushed me away, she used the trick of chain legs.I saw her continuous kicks entangled and attacked the man's lower body one after another, preventing him from displaying his proud brisk movement. The speed of the two of them was so dazzling that I almost wanted to buy a pack of melon seeds and a bottle of beer, and just sit down and watch a blockbuster movie. Although the man was forced to look ugly, he obviously didn't gain the upper hand. He just dodged blindly, and he didn't see any attack.Lin Zhiyan's offensive became more and more cunning, mean and aggressive, with continuous kicks, her eyes stared more fiercely at some of the most important parts of the man, the knife in her hand was like a poisonous snake, as if she would raise her head to attack the position her eyes were looking at at any time. This woman, doesn't she want to use female self-defense techniques to make her lose her children and grandchildren?No, with Lin Zhiyan's personality, it is definitely possible. I watched from the sidelines in a cold sweat.Miss, please take it easy for me, the person who is going to be beaten is super disabled, and I have to wait until he takes me in. If you beat him up, who will I ask to take me in. I was not the only one who broke out in cold sweat, but also the brazen man who was attacked.He clearly felt the menacing aura in the old woman's eyes, the vicious aura and the part it aimed at made him shudder. That guy probably wasn't ready to end his offspring yet, so he got serious.There were a few more rounds of offense and defense. Just as I was thinking about whether to order three takeaways and eat together when they were tired, the man made a feint and quickly grabbed my arm. , ran away at an incomprehensible human limit speed.
