The office of the International Biological Association in Asia was moved from Shangdu to Su's ancestral residence by Anne a few years ago.
It's a detached house right next to the Su family's three-bedroom lobby.
Lin Shuo walked into the room with steady steps, not at all drunk.
Ordinarily, since he pretended to be drunk at the banquet, he had to continue pretending now, or he would be in trouble.
But when Zhou Lingshi sent the news, Lin Shuo knew that something must have happened, and it was a serious matter.
The business matters, and the others are ignored.
Sure enough, as soon as they stepped into the door, Cao Yusheng and Anne in the room looked very serious.
Especially Cao Yusheng, his brows were furrowed at this moment.
After Lin Shuo made a deal with Cao Yusheng, he knew that the mastermind of the hunting gate could be said to be able to say that the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face, and the tiger tended to the back without being alarmed.
It's no small matter to make him have this expression.
"Where is it this time?" Lin Shuo asked as he sat down.
"The Red Desert of Central Asia, where Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan meet." Anne introduced, "The client is Russia."
"So complicated?"
"It's normal." Cao Yusheng explained, "In the Red Desert, there are only a few small oases inhabited by people, not many people, and the local government does not have many interests involved. When something goes wrong, it is Russia that feels distressed. .Because there are oil and gas pipelines from Russia to Iran.”
"It was the maintenance workers of the oil and gas pipeline that went wrong at the beginning." Anne continued, "After the pipeline was found to be faulty, a maintenance engineering team with a total of 16 people went to the Red Desert, but did not return."
"What about the corpse?" Lin Shuo asked, "Are there any photos of the scene?"
"No." Anne shook her head, "The four countries have sent joint search and rescue teams, two successively, but they never returned, so there are no corpses and no photos of the scene."
"What about satellite photos?"
"There are satellite photos, but everything is normal and nothing can be seen." Anne said.
"What time did it happen?"
"Three months ago."
"Three months?" Lin Shuo was a little surprised, "Why so long?"
"This is the fault of Nianqiu's mentor, Mr. Miao Guangqi." Cao Yusheng said with a sneer on his face, "This old gentleman was too generous in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and made such a big commotion. not stupid.
It was within the territory of their country, an underground city was destroyed, and all cultural relics were transferred.
I have suffered from being dumb, so do you want to suspect our Liemen, especially you, the leader who made the move yourself
If there are similar things again, will we not be given priority? "
Anne was slightly embarrassed, and then said: "For this case, Russia bypassed our Asian regional office at the beginning, but found the European office. The colleagues in the European office entrusted the emigration to the office more than two months ago. The Italian Xingmen Xing family will handle this transaction."
"The Xing family?" Lin Shuo recalled for a moment, and said, "This is the largest family of Liemen in Europe. Although it has a threshold of seven inches, there are as many as two hunters with nine inches of ability. They made a move, didn't they get it right?"
"The first trip was led by Xing Haoge, the son of the head of the Xing family and the second expert in the clan. The hunting team of six people never returned." Cao Yusheng shook his head, "The second trip, Xing Feibai, the head of the Xing family, personally The team led by eight people also went in a month ago, but there has been no news so far."
I just said, why was the entire Liemen Qicun family so active last year, but the European Xing family was silent, so it turned out that someone disappeared.
It's a pity that Xing Haoge is the same age as you, the leader, only twenty-six years old. At this age, he is already nine inches capable, and he will definitely surpass his father in the future. "
"The hunting teams led by two nine-inch hunters missed one after another. Russia had no choice but to find us." Anne said, "Lin Shuo, do you have a judgment on what is doing evil?"
Lin Shuo looked at Cao Yusheng and found that Cao Yusheng was also looking at him.
"There is too little information to be sure." Lin Shuo said honestly, "But the scope is not big anymore."
"Yes, there are only a few kinds of things that the Nine Inch Hunters can't handle, and they appear in the desert." Cao Yusheng sighed, "Boss, we have to prepare for the worst. If it is really that kind of thing, then This deal is very hot."
The three of them were talking when Anne's cell phone rang. Anne picked it up and listened for a while, then pressed the speakerphone.
From the phone, Miao Guangqi's voice came out: "Let me first declare that the matter of the Red Desert has nothing to do with me."
"Do you think I will believe what you say now?" Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes.
"Whether Cao Yusheng believes it or not, when did I care?" Miao Guangqi said on the phone, "Believe it or not, I just want to tell Anne and Lin Shuo that you should consider this deal carefully.
According to my judgment, this thing is very likely to be the Dover Demon, which ranks eleventh on Kyushu Foreign Objects. According to my standards, it is a real level nine and three S's.
With the hooked snake flying corpse, those are completely two concepts. "
"Miao Guangqi, I'm very curious." Cao Yusheng asked, "The Dover demon has three S's with you, isn't this the top? How do you decide on the top ten things on the Kyushu foreign body? "
"The top ten wild beasts in Kyushu are not something humans can compete with at all. What's the point of grading?" Miao Guangqi said, "We can only kill it slowly, hunt it? Don't even think about it. Think about it."
"The seven-color muntjac is one of the top ten alien species, and it was hunted seven years ago," Cao Yusheng said.
"That's an underage individual. The leaders of the two generations of Liemen, plus two brothers from the Su family who know the number one magic skill of Liemen, the four of them bullied a little guy and almost killed him. You let them try Adults? Believe it or not? " Miao Guangqi said, "Specific issues need to be analyzed in detail. Cao Yusheng, your brain is still in charge of Liemen's information. I am really sweating for Liemen."
"Mentor, uncle, you two seem to be getting far." Anne said helplessly, "Can we talk about business?"
"Nianqiu reminded you rightly, and said the business." Miao Guangqi cleared his throat on the other side of the phone and said, "According to the records in the Kyushu Foreign Objects of Liemen, Dover demons have never been seen in Liemen's history. Only successfully hunted once.
That was 500 and 30 years ago, in the Taklamakan Desert.
There were nine families in Liemen at that time, knowing that this thing was powerful, it was extremely rare for hunters from the nine families to cooperate in hunting.
The hunting team consisted of as many as fifty-seven people, and only one of Qicun's capable team came back in the end.
As a result, the main branch of the Nine Families broke down three of them, and the Liemen has turned from prosperity to decline.
It was only after being hunted once that this thing fell out of the top ten. However, the tragic price Liemen paid for this at that time, I feel shocking just by reading the records.
Now Liemen, with this family background, can he head-to-head with this kind of thing? "
"Then according to your opinion, don't care about this matter?" Cao Yusheng said, "This deal was originally taken by someone from your European office, and there is no intelligence support at all. Is there anyone who handles things like this? It cost two rounds." The Xing family never came back. Until now, we have to guess what it is.
Isn't it ugly enough to make a deal like this
Let's push it away again, you International Biological Association is shameless, and I still need this face! "
"Hey, how strong is the sense of collective honor?" Miao Guangqi said lazily, "Well, I'll offer you a high price of 100 million US dollars. You, Mr. Cao, will go to the Red Desert in person. You will never die. Read Qiu Linshuo stayed and presided over the peer alliance ceremony, anyway, I think Liemen will be fine without you as a mentally handicapped person."
"Come on, you still have to write 100 million US dollars, so why don't you beg me to tear up the check with a shy face?"
"Oh, can you two stop arguing!" Anne finally got impatient, "Is it Lin Shuo's decision on this matter? What are you two arguing about?"
"My daughter is right." Miao Guangqi looked very good-tempered with Anne, "I don't care about Cao Yusheng with you, Lin Shuo, answer or not, you just say something."
Although Lin Shuo can drink quite well, he was pretending to be drunk just now, but his drinking capacity is related to his physique, and he was born with it. He usually doesn't like drinking, and the quality of rice wine is not high, so he already has a headache.
At this moment, Cao Yusheng and Miao Guangqi were arguing so loudly across the Pacific Ocean, and Lin Shuo's head hurt even more.
He rubbed his temples, and slowly said: "Five hundred and thirty years ago, it was 1475 A.D., the eleventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty.
The Yun family took the lead in the sale of the Liemen, who summoned the Liemen elites to hunt in the Taklamakan Desert. The battle was brutal and only one survived.
The only surviving hunter, surnamed Lin, named Lin Tahai, was my ancestor.
That Dover demon died at his hands and was shot with a chasing master.
What my ancestors have done, I, a younger generation, dare not bear the name of the old man.
Moreover, although there are not many people in the Red Desert, they are still people.
I accepted this deal.
It's just..."
Having said that, Lin Shuo raised his head and looked at Anne: "How do you calculate the money?"
Anne froze for a moment, then seemed a little embarrassed, and said softly, "My special fund here is only less than ten million dollars."
Before the Chinese New Year this year, Miao Guangqi had handed over all the affairs of the Asian region to Anne, as well as the financial rights, and approved a total of 10 million US dollars.
It's just that people eat horse chews, and once the salary and bonus are paid out at the end of the year, 10 million yuan will not be able to keep the round number.
"I didn't ask you." Lin Shuo shook his head and said to the phone in Anne's hand, "Second Uncle Miao, what do you say?"
"Hello? Hello? The signal here is not very good." Miao Guangqi's voice came from the phone.
"Damn it, don't pretend to be a fool!" Cao Yusheng scolded, "You made 20 million US dollars in the deal in Nepal, spit it out to me!"
"Oh, I'm scared to death, as long as 20 million, no problem." Miao Guangqi said with a smile, "Don't go back on your word, the oil and gas pipeline in Russia has been broken for three months, that's really urgent , leave quickly, go early and return early, as long as you come back alive, there will be no delay in the covenant of peers one month later."
After saying this, the phone over there hung up.
Cao Yusheng stomped his feet annoyedly: "The price from Russia is definitely not low this time, so we should bite him hard."
Lin Shuo shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said nothing.
"Then who will go with Lin Shuo this time?" Anne put away her phone and asked.
Cao Yusheng thought for a while and said: "To deal with the Dover demon, if you can't stand nine inches, you will die. The leader should have no spare time to take care of Zhang Jinzhou Lingshi and them, so they shouldn't be confused.
I'm not going with me either. The peer alliance ceremony is only one month away, so I'm going to stay and make preparations.
However, the terrain like the desert has a wide field of vision, and Wei Xingshan can take it with him. He has rich experience in wild survival and good marksmanship. Lying on the sand dunes is a good fire support point.
So after comprehensive consideration, for this hunt, I recommend the leader, Nian Qiu, Wei Xingshan, Di Lan, and Xiao Ba. "
"Dylan is going too?" Anne asked.
"Yes." Cao Yusheng said, "This kind of strong labor sent to the door is not in vain. There is a mountain king living in her body. According to Cao Mian, this mountain king has many strange functions. The strength is also above nine inches, so it will definitely help.
In addition, to be honest, I also have selfishness.
As the protector of the Cao family, Di Lan suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Either it was completely unacceptable, or it was not in line with the rules, and it would be a waste of time to talk about it.
According to the old rules of the hunting gate, she had better complete a decent hunt. This principle is similar to the adult hunter of the inheritance hunter.
My Cao family has a nine-inch threshold, so Di Lan's prey cannot be ordinary things.
This time Dylan went with the leader, and the prey might be the Dover Demon. Even if it wasn't, it would still be something that two nine-inch hunters could fold in, and it must be high enough.
In this way, it will be more legitimate for her to become the guardian of the Cao family to fight on behalf of Cao Mian. "
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded upon hearing this, "Then if this is the case, let's take her with me."
