In the dilapidated office, the smell of engine oil and the acrid smell of smoke mixed with each other and filled the air.
Incandescent lamps were hung from the ceiling, casting dim yellow light on the figures sitting in a circle.
It reflected several faces that were either solemn or expectant.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a slight cough broke the silence.
"Crow, can't you smoke one less?"
A voice as clear and clear as an oriole then sounded, with a hint of dissatisfaction in the tone.
"Sorry, I'm a little sleepy and would like to refresh myself."
Li Dingjian yawned and crushed the half-burned cigarette in his hand into the ashtray.
"Open the window to let in the draft."
The professor spoke in a deep voice and gave instructions.
Big Hammer Hearing this, he immediately stood up and strode towards the window.
As the window creaked open, fresh air rushed in with the coolness of the night, dispelling the turbid air in the house.
Everyone's spirits were also lifted, and they once again focused their attention on the graceful girl in the center.
She wore a long black dress and a soft Chang Fa casual shawl.
Those eyes were sparkling, as if they were hiding bright stars.
Even through the lens, people can feel the magnificent light blooming in it.
At the same time, the pen she held in her hand slid lightly on Drawing Paper, seeming to be given life and wandering freely with her thoughts.
There was silence in the house.
Apart from everyone's slight breathing, only the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper made a subtle rustling sound, as if telling scenes of stories.
Gradually, the lines meandered and unfolded, and a detailed and lifelike picture took shape.
Everyone couldn't help holding their breath, opening their eyes wide, and watching carefully.
On the white paper, the foggy forest Lin Yue appears before your eyes.
The mist twines between the gray-black tree trunks, making Woods appear deep and mysterious.
Several people holding Big Mouth cards seemed to be shouting something with all their strength.
Some strange shadows appeared behind them, hidden in the mist.
Some have stooped bodies, while others are slender and twisted, blurry and unreal, like evil ghosts crawling out of hell to choose and devour people.
Just the presentation on paper exudes a weird Aura that sends chills down your spine.
And deeper in the thick fog, the shadow of a towering tree vaguely appeared.
The giant tree towers into the clouds, and its trunk is so thick that dozens of people can hug it.
The huge Tree Canopy is shadowy in the mist, with fireflies like light spots fluttering up and down.
It adds an unspeakable mysterious color to the already weird scene.
I have to admire the painter's skill Gao Chao, who can express the artistic conception so vividly.
Li Dingjian and others were impressed, but they looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
I don't know what this painting means.
"Xiao Chu, is this what you predicted it would look like two days later?"
The professor pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the painter with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Yes."
Lin Chuqiao nodded slightly, put down the pen, raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyebrows.
After taking a long breath, he also expressed his doubts:
"I felt something was wrong when I made the prediction last time. This time I tried it, and the reaction was even weirder. I didn't even see the shadow of Golden Benba Vase..."
When the professor heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The results of the three predictions are all completely different. Obviously there is a very key variable.
Or, because Golden Benba Vase involves too many forces and the situation is complicated, the predicted results are completely different.
Or, someone is also using some kind of concealment ability to confuse the public and deliberately cover up.
As a result, Lin Chuqiao can only catch a glimpse of it occasionally and cannot accurately see the whole picture.
I just don't know which one is closer to the real scene?
While everyone was thoughtful, Lin Chuqiao then added another explanation:
"My prediction ability, as time goes by, becomes more accurate the closer it is to the real scene, so this prediction seems to be a big deviation, but in fact the reliability should be higher."
"Miss Lin means that the real Golden Benba Vase may not be in that Estate?"
Li Dingjian suddenly raised his brows, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and raised a possibility.
"That's not right!"
Big Hammer then answered the words angrily:
"According to the confessions of those guys who escaped, didn't they say that they saw the Jinba Ben bottle hidden in Estate Underground Vault?"
"Oh, Big Hammer, why don't you like to use your brain more?"
Lark, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but say.
When Big Hammer heard this, he argued unconvinced. "Why don't I use my brain?"
"Don't you know, our opponent is the dignified Conglomerates Influential Families."
Lark rolled his eyes, his tone full of hatred that iron cannot become steel:
"It's suspicious because those guys are of average strength and can still escape successfully. If Estate's defensive power is really that simple, the professor can take down all the guards by himself."
Big Hammer was left speechless and scratched his head in embarrassment.
I secretly thought to myself that this seems to be the case.
Listening to everyone talking about each other, the professor sat aside, frowning, and he was also deep in thought.
Over the past few days, team members have worked together and searched for clues non-stop, and finally locked the target in Estate, one of Mist Mountain.
But what followed was something unexpected, and many more teams were attracted by the treasure than imagined.
One by one, Sharks seemed to smell the smell of blood and poured into this small Mist Mountain one after another.
It seems that Golden Benba Vase is hidden in the hands of the Lu Family. It is no longer a secret, but news that everyone knows.
The professor noticed something fishy, so he asked Lin Chuqiao to predict again Divination to clarify the goal.
Unexpectedly, after making another prediction, the situation seemed to become even more bizarre and strange.
After thinking for a moment, the professor's eyes flashed slightly, then he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After a few rings, the phone was connected, and he spoke first:
"Monkey, how is the situation over there?"
"There is no movement in Estate. Several other teams in Woods are not restful. I have observed signs that they are moving frequently, and there are more people than yesterday."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the answer came in a low and crisp voice.
"Stay vigilant, pay attention to safety, and report any situation at any time."
The professor gave the order and then hung up the phone.
He frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "ta-da" sound, seemingly thinking about a very important question.
The room fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak and plan his next move.
After a while, the professor suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Chuqiao, with a strange light shining in his eyes:
"Xiao Chu, do you think there is a possibility that Inheritance Secret Realm of the Lu Family is actually hidden in Mist Mountain?"
Li Dingjian and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. Apparently they didn't know what the "Inheritance Secret Realm" the professor was talking about was.
Lin Chuqiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said:
"There is a possibility. Lu Family's old house is in Wanghu Town. He bought the entire mountain two years ago, and there are some sensational stories."
"And as far as I know, Lu Family has had a lot of things happen in recent years, and it has been relatively turbulent internally. Maybe this time Golden Benba Vase was used as a bait to attract outsiders to come and seize the treasure, which has something to do with their Family Secret Realm."
"That makes sense."
Seeing that Lin Chuqiao had the same idea as him, the professor's face relaxed slightly, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes:
"If the opponent only relies on using Family Secret Realm to create a maze, our team has four Mental Ability User. We will not suffer too much at this point, but will have an advantage over other teams."
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
Lark and Big Hammer were confused by what they heard, and they felt as if they were playing a riddle.
Li Dingjian seems to be remembering some past events and making vague guesses.
The professor didn't explain too much, he just continued tapping his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and whispered to himself:
"It seems that the plan needs to be adjusted a little."
Then, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Monkey has been ambushing Mist Mountain, observing the movement at a fixed point. How did you complete the task I assigned you yesterday?"
"Professor, I have not been idle these past two days. I have been training hard to ensure that the imitation will be real."
Lark heard this and immediately responded crisply, his face filled with confidence:
"If you can give me more detailed information about the key figures in Estate, I can be better prepared."
Lin Chuqiao then took out a stack of printed documents from the briefcase and said methodically:
"All the information that can be collected about the Lu Family is here. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance. It covers the main member information and industrial structure of the Lu Family, as well as their development in the real estate and security industries in recent years. It is very important for us to understand the enemy's situation."
Saying this, he reached out and distributed it to everyone.
The professor took the information, quickly flipped through a few pages, and nodded slightly.
Li Dingjian then spoke:
"I have contacted a trustworthy old friend. The ship is docked at Pier and can leave Xia Country at any time. The supplies stored on the ship are enough for us to last for a while. There is enough fuel. Even if there is an emergency, we don't have to worry too much."
"Okay."
After listening to everyone's explanation of the task execution, the professor looked solemnly and said:
"The risks of this operation are not small. What we are facing is a behemoth like Lu Family. If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that there will be no place for Eastern Capital in the future."
"So, we must consider all situations before taking action and resolve our worries before we can give it a go."
After a pause, the professor raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing some perseverance and determination:
"I decided that the original plan will continue to be carried out as usual, but just in case, we will also be equipped with a supporting Plan B to ensure that no matter success or failure, we can escape safely."
As he spoke, he briefly described the framework of the plan he had just conceived in his mind to everyone.
Everyone nodded frequently, their eyes lit up, and they admired the professor's foresight even more.
For a time, everyone started chatting, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, and improving the plan together.
Unknowingly, the hands of the clock on the wall crossed a few bars and it was almost zero o'clock.
The night outside the window is dark and the lights are sparse.
"Okay, that's it for today's party."
The professor stood up, looked at everyone with piercing eyes, and finally gave instructions:
"Plan B is our "safety valve". We must not be careless. I will be responsible for the implementation together with Big Hammer and Monkey."
"In the next two days, you should have a good rest, recuperate your energy, and wait for my call at any time. The meeting is over!"
Everyone stood up one after another, saying goodbye and leaving with different moods, either excited or nervous.
Lin Chuqiao picked up the bag and looked at Li Dingjian walking in front, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
Do you want to tell Fang Cheng about this? Or, tell Li Dingjian that Fang Cheng has the ability of Supernatural?
After all, if Fang Cheng participated in this operation, the success rate would definitely be much higher.
Although the professor's plan was very strict and thorough, what he and others faced was the veteran Noble Clan whose strength was beyond imagination.
The process during this period will inevitably be full of dangers and will not be smooth sailing. The more help you can get, the more protection you will get.
Lin Chuqiao opened his mouth, then thought about it and decided to forget it.
My nephew and uncle both kept secrets from each other, and he seemed to be a bitch by talking too much.
Lin Chuqiao shook his head slightly, thinking of the man who always made him feel dependent, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He immediately suppressed his thoughts, took out his keys, and walked towards Street's car parked nearby.
The soles of the boots hit the ground, making a crisp sound, blending into the city night like a modern girl.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, in the luxurious Hotel room.
Fang Cheng just finished enjoying the hot bath and stood up from the bathtub.
In the mist of water vapor, I stretched my body that had just been exercised comfortably, and my bones made a soft "click" sound.
Suddenly, a sneeze came out without warning.
Fang Cheng rubbed his nose, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself:
"Who else is missing me?"
This is a good thing!
After absorbing the "Distracting Thoughts Inner Demons" that bothered me, I gained 2 points of Spirit Attribute.
Fang Cheng Whether practicing Meditation or in daily life, it is rare to hear whispers that sound like prayers and nagging ghosts.
Although the ears are much cleaner, the actual income is also reduced for no reason.
According to Mental Cultivation Method taught by Mysterious Man:
"Spiritual practice is like thunder in an empty valley, one after another, one wave after another, endless, and then imprinted in the heart, connected to Other Shore."
"If you think about everything, there will be repercussions..."
Fang Cheng thought to himself.
Maybe if more people miss me, more foreign thoughts will be attracted and attached to Spirituality Fire.
Then, my Mental Power quantity will naturally increase by one point.
The warm yellow light shines on the strong body, reflecting the clear muscle lines.
After drying his body with a bath towel, Fang Cheng casually put on a loose pajamas, walked to the window, and gently opened a corner of the curtain.
Looking at YuLong Lake under the moonlight, my thoughts gradually flew away.
At this time, many people are indeed thinking about Fang Cheng.
One of them lives in a Hotel.
In a certain suite, at Midnight, the lights are still bright.
The three people were sitting on the sofa, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was slightly frozen.
"Black Wolf, who is that person you are talking about?"
Someone suddenly asked.
