Hearing Lin Shuo speak, Anne smiled slightly:
"My name is Anne, and I am the head of the Asia region of the International Biological Research Association. Our International Biological Research Association is an international public welfare organization, aiming at the research, development and application of strange creatures all over the world.
The one with me is Wei Xingshan, the captain of our Asia Action Team. "
At this time, Wei Xingshan finally woke up from his surprise at the starling bird, stood up straight, and gave Lin Shuo a standard military salute.
Lin Shuo cast a casual glance at the burly man, but he didn't make a fuss about it.
"This time I took the liberty to visit you because of this." Anne took out a white cloth package from her handbag as she spoke, slowly unfolded it, and presented it in front of Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo was originally unmoved, but when he saw this scale, his expression changed slightly.
He twitched his nostrils twice, and a lot of scent information penetrated into his nostrils.
The familiar smell made Lin Shuo's eyes hidden behind the glasses slightly narrowed. He stretched out his hand and took the scales from Anne's hand.
Observing carefully with the first hand, this scale is as big as two palms, and it looks black and shiny under the sunlight that shines into the room, shining with a strange light.
Turning the angle slightly, you can find a dark red line three fingers wide in the middle.
Lin Shuo's heart skipped a beat, his face turned livid, and he thought to himself, "Is it it?"
The starling bird on the desk flapped its wings and flew to Lin Shuo's shoulder. It also observed the scale carefully and said:
"Brother Shuo, is this impossible?"
"It was impossible at first, but it is possible now." Lin Shuo brought the scales close to his nose, and smelled it again, "That's it, and the smell is still very fresh. It won't be more than a month since this thing left the body."
"It's still alive?" Mynah flapped its wings excitedly, "It's not..."
"It's useless to talk about it." Lin Shuo interrupted the starling, and looked up at Anne, "Where did you find this thing?"
"Russia's Far Eastern Federal District, the northern bank of Heilongjiang in our country." Anne immediately replied, "Two weeks ago, 182 people disappeared in a village more than 20 kilometers north of Heilongjiang. Seventy-three of them were Chinese nationals." .
During the on-site investigation, the Russian police found traces of giant creatures crawling, and also found this scale at the scene.
Since then, the police have searched in many places, and the murderer disappeared when he arrived in Heilongjiang.
Heilongjiang is the border between my country and Russia. It is inconvenient for the Russian police to investigate, and it is related to strange creatures. Therefore, the Russian government reported it to the International Biological Research Association, hoping that we will start investigating this matter.
This matter has aroused great interest in our research association, because... "
"Stop." Lin Shuo raised his hand, interrupted Anne's statement, frowned and asked, "You mean, this scale appeared near Heilongjiang?"
"Yes." Anne confirmed.
"How is this possible?" Mynah seemed unable to believe this message.
Not to mention the bird beside him, even Lin Shuo himself couldn't believe this statement.
He knew this scale, to be precise, he knew the owner of this scale.
This is a snake scale.
A snake scale alone is as big as two palms, so how big is the body
Six years ago, he went to Kunlun Mountain with his father and saw the owner of the scales with his own eyes.
It was the largest strange creature that Lin Shuo had ever seen.
At that time, it was bathing in the sky thunder, and it was like going through a catastrophe!
According to what he saw with his own eyes, that huge strange creature had already died in that treacherous thunderstorm night six years ago.
And this scale seems to overthrow everything.
Looks like it's time to go out for a walk.
While Lin Shuo was staring at the scale and meditating, the room was quiet.
Finally, Lin Shuo asked, "Then what does Miss Anne want to ask me to do when she comes here this time?"
"Of course I captured this strange creature." Miss Anne seemed to have been waiting for Lin Shuo to ask this question, and she couldn't wait to reply, "Who in the hunter circle doesn't know that Mr. Lin is an expert in this field."
"Capture?" Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes again, "If you are pure laymen, it is understandable to say the word 'capture'. But you, the International Biological Research Association, should not be regarded as laymen. Faced with this kind of thing , can save a life, it is very good."
"This..." Anne seemed to be at a loss for words, and then said immediately, "We absolutely believe in Mr. Lin's ability."
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded, "Since you trust me, I'll be more straightforward. I can make an exception for this, but it will cost 10 million, and it doesn't matter whether I live or die."
"Ten million?" Without waiting for Anne's answer, Wei Xingshan stopped doing it first, and questioned, "Little brother, you are such a lion.
You have to know that my elite mercenary team, with a total of fifteen members in three groups, has signed a life-and-death contract, and this mission will only receive 10 million.
This ten million yuan is equivalent to the money that 15 of us worked hard for.
How dare you ask for 10 million by yourself? "
Lin Shuo looked up at Wei Xingshan, and said calmly, "I'm talking about dollars."
"You!" Wei Xingshan seemed to have been punched in the face, his face turned red, and the veins on his neck burst.
Just as he was about to say something more, the side of his knee hurt again. It turned out that Anne kicked him again, signaling him to shut up.
"I don't have enough authority for such a large amount of money. Please wait a moment, Mr. Lin. I need to ask my superiors for instructions." Anne said calmly.
After saying this, Anne made an apologetic gesture, took out the mobile phone in her handbag, and walked outside the house.
Wei Xingshan opened his eyes wide and looked at the back of this beautiful woman.
Listen to this meaning, 10 million US dollars, can you still negotiate
Wei Xingshan's whole body is not well.
Not long after he joined the International Biological Research Association, Anne was not only his nominal superior, but also the protection target of his mission.
This woman, according to the bits and pieces of news he had inquired about, was not just a Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard University in the United States.
Now look at the bird on the table, and the emaciated young man sitting on the edge of the table, dressed as a down-and-out mountain village teacher, asking for ten million dollars when he opened his mouth.
Wei Xingshan originally thought that, as a mercenary leader licking blood at the edge of a knife, he was the most abnormal person in this room. The skills you have should also be the most valuable.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all
While Wei Xingshan was in a daze, Anne had finished making the phone call and returned to the house.
She said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Lin, I have already asked for instructions. The above said that it is really not respectful to ask Mr. Lin for this price.
It's just that our research association is a public welfare organization with limited funds. Do you think this is good? Live captures will cost 10 million U.S. dollars, and dead bodies will cost 8 million U.S. dollars. 30% of the deposit is paid in advance. "
"Isn't it?" Wei Xingshan exclaimed, "The higher-ups really agreed?"
Anne ignored Wei Xingshan, but bowed slightly to Lin Shuo: "On behalf of the International Society for Biological Research, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his generous help."
"You don't have to be so polite, let's do it this way." Lin Shuo nodded and stood up: "I want to get ready."
"No rush, we'll wait for you."
…
Lin Shuo walked to the back door of the house under the eyes of the two, and pushed the door open.
Outside is a small courtyard. Beside the door is a bluestone countertop with a kitchen knife and chopping board. It is the place where Lin Shuo usually handles ingredients.
Opposite the small courtyard is a main room with a red-lacquered wooden door. Although it is the main room, Lin Shuo usually does not live in it.
Vegetables are grown in the small yard. Five or six chickens were digging the ground for food.
Lin Shuo bent down and stretched out his hand, grabbing the neck of a big red-crowned rooster.
The rooster flapped its wings violently and let out a mournful cry.
Lin Shuo picked up the kitchen knife on the stone slab in the small courtyard, raised the knife and dropped it, and the rooster's head flew into the nearby vegetable field.
A yellow dog ran out diagonally, picked up the chicken head and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Holding the bloody rooster in his hand, Lin Shuo kept walking and pushed open the door of the main room.
All this happened in just two or three seconds. Lin Shuo didn't make any superfluous movements, he caught chickens and killed chickens neatly.
Looking at Lin Shuo's actions, Wei Xingshan felt a chill rise from behind, and at the same time he was a little confused.
"What is he doing?" Wei Xingshan murmured.
"The blood of the rooster is as fresh as the yang." Anne explained softly, "It is the top grade for enshrining murder weapons."
"Worshiping the murder weapon?"
"The Lin family of Liemen enshrines an ancient murder weapon that has been passed down for eighty-six generations." Anne said, "Lin Shuo is the eighty-seventh generation descendant of the Lin family."
