Chapter 64: Against heaven and earth (23)
I’m back! No longer dead
Teacher Ren keenly noticed that young master Qin’s gaze carried a hint of gloom, but he couldn’t figure out what the reason was. “I hope that the people you hired are indeed professionals in their field. Then, when the ti cos, we can completely wipe out the enemy.”
The two of them then directly left the house. Since there were no street lights on the island, it was extrely dark at night. Although there was natural moonlight shining down from the sky, it was fortunate that today was the start of the new moon. Hence, the entire island was pitch black, more than enough to conceal Ren Zhu and Qin Cong’s movents.
Qin Cong opened his wrist watch, which was actually a small tracking device. Although there was no signal on this island, his watch could track a fixed signal within a specified range. Hence, young master Qin easily found the direction in which they needed to walk.
“Go west.” Qin Cong said.
Ren Zhu nodded and quickly headed west with Qin Cong. At the sa ti, he also thought of the topographic map he had previously seen of the island and said: “There’s a cave on the west coast. Perhaps the people you hired are waiting for us over there.”
Qin Cong also thought of the map of the island. “I suppose so. There are plenty of large shoal rocks there for them to hide. Let’s go along the beach. Although it’ll be a bit of a detour, the path is relatively flat and it won’t be easy for us to be discovered.”
With the billowing winds and heavy waves on the seaside, it was very difficult for the surveillance caras to tolerate such conditions.
The two of them briskly ran along the beach under the moonlight. If this wasn’t to rendezvous with others in the middle of the night, it would actually be quite romantic. After running for more than an hour, Qin Cong’s watch issued a beep. Clearly, their target was close, and the other party should have already discovered them.
.
The black silhouette next to the large shoal rocks was proof.
“If you want to get rich overnight!” The instant the black silhouette saw Qin Cong and Ren Zhu, it said this phrase. When Ren Zhu heard this, he slightly frowned. Just how short of money were these people such that they would co up with this kind of secret code?
However, he quickly realised that this secret code was definitely not sothing those rcenaries had thought of, because the person beside him excitedly answered: “Find a thigh to hug!” Clearly, the thigh was referring to Qin Cong himself.
Such an annoying chuuni phrase was definitely not sothing that those rcenaries would have co up with. And in the next second, he was proven correct.
“Young master Qin, can we change our code next ti? I feel so ashad every ti I say this code.”
But young master Qin didn’t agree: “You’re expressing the desire of so many people with this secret code ah! Look, aren’t you a lot more fortunate than them? They don’t even have a thigh to hug, whereas you guys have a golden thigh shining right in front of you!”
The rcenary leader: “……” I’ll have to kneel to your logic. However, what makes sad is that Laozi really doesn’t have the ability to make a lot of money and turn myself into a golden thigh.
“Alright, what have you found? Is there anything to tell us that we should take note of?” Seeing the sad expression on the big tall man in front of him, Teacher Ren quickly changed the topic.
The rcenary leader wiped his face and said: “This is not a small matter. We really do need you two to co and take a look.” When saying this, the rcenary leader’s expression looked extrely grave and also carried so ruthlessness.
Ren Zhu’s heart couldn’t help but jump.
Following the rcenary leader, they arrived at a secret base that had been set up in a gap under the shoal rocks of the island. Ren Zhu looked around in disbelief: “Wow, you guys are quite capable!” From outside, it looked like there was only a small hole in the rock, but once they walked in, there was a space of more than 100 square tres in size.
In the cave, there were 7 or 8 people doing their own things. Everyone was extrely focused; they could occasionally be heard muttering to themselves.
“Of course, we’re all professionals, although when it cos to professionalism, I think that those people who hollowed out the mountain are even more professional.” rcenary leader Jack Chen lanted: “This little island has already beco theirs. If it weren’t because we were vigilant and used special equipnt to inspect the rocks before coming here, we probably would have been discovered before we even climbed ashore. When I was walking around just then, I realised that the monitoring on this island is simply insane! There was a pinhole cara every few steps! Zeze, won’t the people watching the monitors get bad vision? Well, they are clearly surveillance amateurs. There’s so many caras; it’ll be easy for them to overlook sothing important.”
“But even if it’s like this, to be able to completely hollow out a mountain and make it their base, those people certainly aren’t ordinary.”
Hearing the last sentence, Ren Zhu couldn’t help but scoff: “Far from being abnormal, they’re simply psychos.”
His words quickly drew the approval of soone else in the cave: “Yes, they really are psychos! Those children are so young, yet these people still dare to harm them!”
Hearing the voice, Ren Zhu and Qin Cong looked over and saw a fat youth sitting in front of 3 computer monitors, eating chips while gnashing his teeth in anger. This kind of scene would always make people think of those die-hard otakus, but the person before their eyes was clearly an otaku who used high tech equipnt. He was actually looking through the surveillance monitors.
“You?”
The fat otaku turned his head, and after seeing Ren Zhu’s and Qin Cong’s face, he revealed a very cold unfriendly expression: “Stay away from . We’re not of the sa dinsion.”
Ren Zhu: “……???”
Qin Cong: “…………” I finally t soone who’s even more chuuni than .
Jack Chen ca over and explained: “Ah Hu doesn’t like handso guys. He thinks that handso guys are all two-dinsional and fake. Only soone like him is a real 3-dinsional ordinary person. Of course, he is a computer genius among the ordinary people. Look, Ah Hu has already intercepted dozens of surveillance caras in the major locations on this island. He also found us a lot of information.”
“Ah Hu, look at the west side.” Jack Chen patted the fat otaku’s shoulder. The latter then quickly magnified 4 surveillance images.
After Ren Zhu and Qin Cong looked at the monitors, their expressions imdiately sank. Ren Zhu couldn’t believe what he was seeing: “They actually directly gave the children sleeping pills?! Are the four teachers of Class 9 and 10 all working for the other side?!”
Jack Chen nodded: “It must have been like this, otherwise the children in Class 9 and 10 would have definitely shown so resistance. You can see from the monitors that these children were all carried into the mountain and then disappeared without a trace. The organisation must have wanted to deeply conceal the entrance to their base and hence didn’t install any caras around it. So at present, we don’t have any way to find the entrance of their base. And if we dispatch people to go find it, we would most likely alert the enemy. Hence, we will entrust this difficult task to you two.”
Ren Zhu nodded. “Tell us the rough direction and we will look around in the next few days. But that’s not what’s important. I’m very worried for the safety of the children who were taken away.”
Jack Chen clicked his tongue: “I don’t think they’ll do any harm to the children’s physical safety. After all, they are all the successors of rich and powerful conglorates. Having this island transford to this state, the organisation must have operated for many years already. Dingdian School cos to this island every year for winter vacation activities. If they really did cause harm to the children, then this organisation would have already been discovered. But since they haven’t, then from my understanding……”
“They will control the children through hypnosis and drugs.” Ren Zhu coldly said. Before he ca to this island, he already had a hunch, but when he found out that this hunch was pretty much spot on, he was still extrely angry and his gaze was filled with ruthlessness.
Jack Chen shrugged. Actually, in his line of work, they have encountered a lot of cases like this, so they were all used to it. However, it was the first ti that they have co across such a crazy and daring organisation. As an old fox himself, he couldn’t help but admire the brains of the organisation’s leader. He planned to silently and effortlessly control the economy and politics of the entire world! If this were in a manhua, then this plan would definitely belong to a chuuni villain. But unfortunately, this organisation’s leader had already succeeded with his plans for several years. If it weren’t because young master Qin and Teacher Ren discovered it this ti, then he would probably be able to control many of the powerful families!
“Tell us so other information. Since the teachers of Class 9 and 10 are all their people, they were able to silently disappear. But there are still 8 classes remaining. At least, there’s no problem with the Class 5 teachers on our side. How can they make sure that the teachers won’t stop them from taking the children away and then send out a ssage?” Ren Zhu raised this question and frowned.
Standing beside him, young master Qin imdiately replied: “Ha! What’s so difficult about that? They can just spray so chloroform while everyone is sleeping.”
Ren Zhu: “……”
Young master Qin: “…… Um, I’ll shut up.”
“Well, even if they used chloroform, they still need to send a photo every morning at 8 o’clock. How would they……” Ren Zhu suddenly paused and shut his mouth, because computer expert otaku had turned around and looked at him with an expression that said ‘you stupid mortal’. En, right, it was just sending a photo. That could easily be forged.
“Well, tell which classes the suspicious teachers are in. We’ll try and alert the other teachers to stall for ti.” He didn’t intend to continue talking to this group of otakus.
Jack Chen quickly answered: “There’s no problem with the teachers of Class 1, 2, 5, 7 and 8. However, you two should get a move on. Every day that passes is another day of tornt for those children.”
