Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 654: An Unexpected Noise
After stepping out of the stone forest, Tang Xiu arranged a type of three-layered array around him: an Illusion Array, a Big Dipper Array, and a Defensive Array. The Illusory Array could confuse the eyes of others so that they could not find the existence of this stone forest, whereas the Everchanging Big Dipper Array would move them outside, instead, and the Defense Array in the deepest was specially arranged to deal with the cultivators. Unless they were at the Golden Core Stage level, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through this array.
These triple arrays are connected and interlinked with each other — cleverly makes it possible to further increase.
"Completed . ”
Tang Xiu wiped away the sweat on his forehead and spent two more hours drawing the array formation. Such a layout required a high level of concentration and wore his mental strength, leaving him struggling with difficulties. It could be said that this three-layer array was the deepest array he had ever placed upon his return to Earth.
Kang Xia took out a handkerchief from the bag he always carried and carefully helped Tang Xiu wipe the sweat on his forehead, asking, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine . It only consumes most of my mental strength. "Tang Xiu shook his head and smilingly said," However, you should all remember to never tell anyone about the existence of this Spirit Spring, except to a few of our people. This Earth Spirit Spring is literally a treasure, and we will suffer great losses if known to others. ”
"understand!" Kang Xia and Andy nodded, as did Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan.
In the silence of the dead night.
The flickering Red Planet dimmed at the foot of the mountain, as a cold wave wreaked havoc toward the two SUVs there. However, some burly figures were actually standing beside the car and constantly directed their gaze to the top of the mountain under the moonlight.
Two kilometers away, Zhao Donghe stood on the second floor of a small house in the Su Family Village, watching the people next to the two SUVs with binoculars. In front of him, over a dozen uniformed policemen stood up, and the most striking sight on them was that something was protruding at their waists. It is clear that they are armed.
"Chairman Zhao, it's been five days. What exactly do they want to do here? ”Ask a young policeman whose face looked tired as he yawned.
"Are you tired?" Zhao Donghe glanced at him. “You must have the spirit of hard work and endurance as a policeman. When I was in the Criminal Case section of the city, let alone staying in one place for five days, I even stayed for half a month! These people are suspicious and tend to have bad intentions. So they should be monitored even if we have to endure this cold and exhaustion. ”
The young policeman looked embarrassed. He nodded repeatedly and replied, “I understand. What you taught me is correct, Chief Zhao. But I was really curious about what they wanted to do to actually stay behind the mountain for five days like this. ”
"The longer they stay there, the bigger the plot," Zhao Donghe said. “Alright, I'll rest for a while. Wake me up if you see anything unusual. ”
The young policeman picked up the binoculars and watched Zhao Donghe leave before using the binoculars to continue monitoring. Just as Zhao Donghe was about to descend the stairs, the young policeman's face suddenly changed and hurriedly shouted, "Chairman Zhao, there's something!"
Zhao Donghe stared blankly for a moment before immediately stepping back. He then grabbed the binoculars to observe the scene.
"imm? Isn't that … "
At the foot of the mountain.
It took five hours for Tang Xiu's group to finally come out of the mountain, and when he got there, he saw Mo Awu's three-man group that greeted him and smilingly said, “You've worked hard. Are there any unexpected events happening these days? ”
"There's a cop hiding in the dark to protect us, Boss, so of course nothing unexpected happens. The first day you climb the mountain, there are some villagers nearby who come here, and then comes the police. But no one has come back since. ”
The cops?
Tang Xiu frowned and asked, "There are cops around here?"
"Yes. "Mo Awu nodded. "They're in a village two-plus kilometers from here. We've been watching them too, and they've been watching us with binoculars. Biao Wang took the opportunity to observe them as he went to the city to buy food, and secretly sneaked there to clarify the identities of those policemen. They are from Qinghe County Public Security Bureau. ”
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "They should have received reports from people who think you all look suspicious here. Anyway, let. Let's go because this is just a misunderstanding. ”
Both cars then drove around Su Family Village.
When they got there, four police cars blocked them. Tang Xiu did not rush down and only looked at the restless police in front. As Zhao Donghe walked out with the two policemen, Tang Xiu's eyebrows pierced and then opened the car door to exit.
"Why are you here, Tang Xiu?" Zhao Donghe smiled wryly and swiftly took out a cigarette to offer it.
Tang Xiu took the cigarette and smilingly said, "If my guess is correct, we should make an unexpected sound here, Chief Zhao. I just heard from my bodyguard that the police have been protecting them in secret for these five days. Actually, I went camping on the mountain with my family members and friends. I got lost behind a mountain, so I took a detour and spent a few days getting out. ”
Zhao Donghe was stunned. He never expected that the reports from the public sent to the Public Security Bureau would turn into such an unexpected sight. The report said that suspicious people were seen walking around this place. He even had to put down all the other things he handled to stay in place for five days in such cold weather!
He looked at Kang Xia and Andy, as well as at Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan, when his mouth twitched a few times, not knowing what to say. Although Kang Xia and Andy gave her an amazing feeling, she believed that Tang Xiu would not do anything indecent with these women because he also brought children.
From her tone of speech, Tang Xiu could feel a slight complaint, so she immediately showed an apologetic look and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Chief Zhao. I was just thinking of making my family and friends happy, so I didn't expect to make such a misunderstanding. By the way, I heard that the kitchen in the Public Security Bureau office is getting old and has to be repaired. So what if I donate 500 thousand yuan as a sign of my goodwill? "
"It's…"
Zhao Donghe was inwardly clear that the goodwill Tang Xiu showed him was a way to apologize. To say that a dilapidated Public Security Bureau kitchen is just an excuse. However, she appreciated Tang Xiu's attitude in this matter, and upheld his pride, and praised Tang Xiu inwardly for his kind character. Finally, he agreed.
Since they had to leave, Tang Xiu and his convoy were escorted by four or five police cars all the way to the intersection of the highway. After saying goodbye to them, then they rushed back to Star City.
It was already morning when they returned to Star City. Tang Xiu ordered Mo Awu to send Kang Xia and Andy back home while he personally drove back to South Gate Town. Although Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan had slept for several hours on the road, she still ordered them to go to their rooms to sleep.
"Tang Xiu, there was a person named Boss Yuan Zhengxuan who came to visit here the day before yesterday. He said that he called you but your phone was turned off. I told him that you went out of town, so he left a message for you to call him as soon as possible when you get back. "Mu Qingping quickly reported when she saw Tang Xiu downstairs.
Tang Xiu's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, “Already. I'll see him after breakfast. ”
"By the way, I've already bought a flight ticket to Saipan, scheduled for noon on January 16," Mu Qingping continued with a smile.
"Why not stay home for a few more days?" Tang Xiu asked after pondering for a while.
“This place and the Island of the Nine Dragons is my home. "Mu Qingping smiled. “A long time ago I returned to the mainland. I don't feel relieved handing things over there to others for a long time. ”
"Well, then . Since you've booked a flight, just do as you plan! ”Tang Xiu's. “I'll assign two bodyguards to go with you this time. Don't think about refusing. Your safety is very important, so I have to make sure that you arrive at the Island of the Nine Dragons smoothly. ”
Mu Qingping felt warm inside, and the words he prepared to reject were swallowed back.
After breakfast, Tang Xiu picked up his 20%-filled phone%. After picking up the charger, he called Yuan Zhengxuan and made an appointment to meet at a small electronics factory in Star City.
"Here!"
After arriving at the entrance of the small electronics factory, he saw Yuan Zhengxuan waving and calling out to him from the direction of the security post. He parked the car by the roadside, got down and said with a smile, "I'm temporarily out of town, Uncle Yuan, and I just got back early today. Not an urgent matter, is it? ”
"It's okay. "Yuan Zhengxuan smiled. “By the way, I already conveyed your idea of wanting those scientists and researchers first. But they don't agree right away because they don't know the product you want to research. Everyone is now inside and wants to talk to you. ”
"No problem . Please lead and take me there, Uncle Yuan, ” Tang Xiu said.
As he drove the car to the electronics factory, Tang Xiu learned from Yuan Zhengxuan that a secret laboratory was set up here. The product the researchers were researching has been completed, so most of the security forces have also been dismissed. The place was named as an electronics factory on the surface, but it was just a place to cover up.
"Boss!"
At the entrance of the three-story building, two uniformed security guards saluted.
Yuan Zhengxuan nodded at them and brought Tang Xiu in, stopping outside the elevator installed in one of the rooms. After going through a series of verification through fingerprints, retina, password, and work card swiping, then the two can enter the elevator, when Yuan Zhengxuan then press the -2 button.
Second floor underground.
The moment the two people entered, what appeared before Tang Xiu was an enormous space. The environment inside was almost similar to the one in the movies, with all sorts of high-tech instruments and walls made of molten iron, looking like an impenetrable iron fortress.
Except for the enclosed space on the inner side, dozens of scientists and researchers were there. Some of them face desktop computers and play, some flip through magazines, while others fiddle with their phones, seemingly playing mobile games.
Clap clap…
Yuan Zhengxuan clapped his hands and spoke loudly, "Everyone, can you stop playing? I'll introduce someone to you. This is Tang Xiu, a famous figure in Star City. I think you already know his identity. ”
“Young heavenly doctor from Star City China Medical Hospital. ”
A white-haired old man in a white suit approached and greeted them. He held the picture frame in his hand as he extended his hand and smilingly said, "I am Mo Yi, the director of this research institute. You can call me Director Mo or Professor Mo. ”
