Most of the exorcists are still nervously hunting down the Japanese Onmyoji, making everyone feel a little disappointed. Regrettably, the Japanese Onmyoji seems to have suddenly disappeared. Even though everyone turned San Francisco upside down, they didn't notice the slightest.
With Zhu Bajie's guarantee, everyone is unable to connect the Japanese Onmyoji and me for the time being. So I didn't panic at all, and found the clerk early the next morning.
"These are the information about the task I was talking about. Take down the task information and read it slowly. After reading it, come over and tell me if you are willing to take on this task. Just like the previous task, whether you want to take on this task or not, you have to Keep the content of the task completely confidential."
Hearing what the clerk said, I nodded and was about to leave, but was called to a halt by the clerk.
"Miller, the reward for this task is pretty good, but I hope you can take it on."
"Thank you for your reminder!" I whispered to the clerk, with an involuntary vigilance in my heart. Because I don't believe so much, that the clerk will really consider me. After all, there have been conflicts between us.
When I came to a quiet corner with no one, I opened the task details. Read it quickly and simply.
"As the clerk said before, this task is a security task. It is protecting a group. There are five people in this group, five of whom are from China. Four of them are archaeologists and the remaining one is a policeman. "
"Why did our Chinese archaeologists and policemen come to San Francisco?" Yan Feixue asked me curiously.
"According to the record in the mission details, it was because when the policeman was arresting a bad guy, he accidentally got a broken map from the bad guy's hands. Later, after investigation, it was discovered that the ancestor of the arrested bad guy was in San Francisco. Worked as a laborer."
"San Francisco was in chaos back then. In addition to the gold mine owners, there were a lot of smugglers. Smugglers. Among these smugglers, there was a smuggler named Marshall. The smugglers were very famous. Marshall was not just walking. A private businessman, or a robber, he likes to take his men to China for looting. At that time, China was ruled by the Manchu Qing government, and the Manchu Qing government was weak and fearful of foreigners."
"Marshall took the bandits under him and ransacked a Taoist temple that had been passed down for thousands of years. After they packed the contents of the Taoist temple, they quietly placed them on a slave ship. There were more than 300 people on the slave ship. Huaxia Labor. The ancestor of the bad guy who was arrested was one of more than 300 laborers."
"Later, the slave ship transported more than 300 Chinese laborers to San Francisco with the stolen treasure. In order to conceal people's eyes, Marshall ordered everyone to temporarily hide the treasure in a mine. Not long afterwards, the laborers in the entire mining area were forced to Dissatisfied that the labor was too strong, an unprecedented riot broke out. The conscientious laborers did not want the treasures left by their ancestors to be bought and sold by foreigners. So taking advantage of the outbreak, the turmoil quietly hid the treasures that Marshall had robbed. stand up."
"The topography of the mining area is complicated, and there are passages everywhere like a maze. After the baby was hidden, Marshall did not see any trace of the baby after he was concealed, despite Marshall's frantic search for several years. Later, as time moved slowly, the baby's Things were gradually forgotten. It was not until the broken map appeared in the hands of the Huaxia policeman that people's attention was once again attracted by the treasure."
"The broken map is related to the treasures that Marshall robbed. The police brought four archaeologists to San Francisco to find the treasures, and then brought these lost treasures back to China."
Hearing what I said, Yan Feixue was silent for a moment and asked: "The baby is in America now, are they willing to return the baby to China?"
"There may be some people who are unwilling. This time the Exorcist Guild will send me to protect five of them, perhaps because they are worried about what will happen."
"The deity is a little curious, why did they choose you, a junior exorcist, to protect them? Will the sincerity of the Exorcist Guild be less? Or maybe the Exorcist Guild has other ideas?"
What Yan Feixue said has a certain truth, after all, what Marshall snatched from China was a bunch of treasures, not a bunch of broken copper and iron. The people of the United States are descendants of robbers. It is entirely possible that they will be jealous when they see good things.
"How long do you need to protect them?"
"From the day after tomorrow they arrived in San Francisco until they arrived at the mining area. If nothing else, the entire mission process will not last too long."
"Wait until they reach the mine
After the zone, the task is over? "
"Yes, when they arrive at the mining area, there will be a team of archaeological experts from San Francisco to meet. At that time, there will be professional personnel responsible for their safety. In addition, according to the instructions on the task, I must come back after the task is completed. When handing over tasks, you can’t stay where you are."
"The deity feels like something is wrong!" Yan Feixue paused for a moment, after thinking about it, and then said: "Boy, is there no information about the person you need to protect in the mission?"
"Yes, I haven't gotten too anxious just now."
I smiled slightly and took out a small file bag.
There is a string of English written on the file bag, which roughly means the target details.
I opened the file bag and pulled out five stacks of materials from it.
When my gaze swept across the first stack of materials, I couldn't help frowning.
"Min Chaohui, the policeman who needs to be protected is the Captain Min I know."
After the shock, I smiled and shook my head again and said, "It seems that the fate of the two of us is pretty good, and we can still touch it in this place."
I smiled and took out the second stack of materials.
"Li Shanzhong, a professor at China Southwest Archaeological Institute, is 63 years old today."
"Ma Bohong, deputy captain of the China Southwest Archaeological Team, 65 today."
Seeing this, I shook my head involuntarily. Li Shanzhong and Ma Bohong are both elderly people. If something happens, the two can't stand the toss.
"Ma Minxin, a member of the Southwest Archaeological Task Force."
"Zhang Batian, a member of the Southwest Archaeological Task Force."
Seeing the names of Ma Minxin and Zhang Batian, the corners of my mouth couldn't help showing a smile.
"Do you also know the last two people?"
"Yes, I have talked to them before. They were not members of the archaeological team, but Chinese Taoist priests. Ma Minxin was from Maoshan. When I knew him, he was a third-level Taoist. Zhang Batian was from Longhushan. When I met him, he was a second-level Taoist priest. It has been more than two years, and I don’t know how strong the two of them are."
"One is from Maoshan, the other is from Longhushan, kid, it seems that they are also prepared. This time the treasure hunt, I am afraid it will not be too easy."
