After driving about 20 kilometers, there was a small fork in the road ahead, and Liu Xun decisively turned down. At this time, there was only one tank of fuel left. There was no reserve fuel in the trunk, and Liu Xun didn't want to be trapped on the long road.
After filling up the gas, Liu Xun looked at the time. It was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon, so he asked Situ Ying, "Let's go eat something and stay overnight before leaving, or?"
"Let's eat. I'm a little hungry." Di Yi spoke before Situ Ying could say anything.
In this way, the four of them came to a barbecue restaurant. Liu Xun and Situ Ying didn't care about eating barbecue. Di Yi would eat anything edible, but for Mu Feiyan, it was the first time to eat such food.
"It's so greasy, won't I get fat if I eat it?" Mu Feiyan asked softly, looking at the 'greasy' skewers of meat.
Liu Xun smiled when he heard this and said, "Actually, being fat or thin has nothing to do with eating barbecue. When you need to gain weight, you will gain weight just by drinking cold water. But you can't stop eating because of this, right?"
"It's okay. She can save money by not eating. Besides, I'm not afraid of getting fat. I can just eat it for her." Di Yi seemed to be really hungry. He was holding more than ten skewers of barbecue in his hands and talking while eating.
"Who said I don't eat!" Mu Feiyan hated to hear Di Yi say such things. She got angry when she thought about the roasted sweet potatoes a few days ago.
Liu Xun glanced at Mu Feiyan, then glanced at Di Yi who was wolfing down his food, and finally looked at Situ Ying and smiled knowingly.
At this moment, a car suddenly stopped not far away and seven people got out of the car. All of them were wearing sunglasses and came from different countries. They had a murderous aura, but judging by their clothes, they looked a little disheveled.
One person, speaking in a not-so-fluent Chinese language, ordered enough skewers for seven or eight people, and walked towards the vehicle, saying to the six people in English as he walked, "Get out of this damn place, it's damn unlucky."
A companion on the opposite side also said: "I will never come to this damn place called China again. I actually encountered some troubles!"
After saying that, the seven people got into the car one after another and left. The car was heading towards the long-distance road and soon disappeared from sight.
"What are they talking about?" Di Yi and Mu Feiyan did not understand English, so they just asked out of curiosity.
Liu Xun looked at the place where the vehicle disappeared and whispered, "They are the EO mercenary organization, but why did they appear in a place like this?"
The last time I met EO was because Situ Ying was kidnapped and became a hostage. At that time, because of Tianhu, Liu Xun took Situ Ying out.
"Have mercenaries appeared too? This is normal. I heard from my master that mercenaries also appeared during the last battle! It seems that this battle is already brewing." Di Yi said softly.
"I'm not curious about why they appear here, but their conversation." Liu Xun frowned. What kind of thing happened to cause the world's strongest mercenary organization to suffer a setback
After saying that, Liu Xun closed his eyes. He tried to resonate with his surroundings, and then he knew the answer he wanted to know. After a moment, Liu Xun opened his eyes and said softly: "There is a small mountain village 50 kilometers southwest. EO has been there before."
"You mean... after we finish eating, we should go there and take a look?" Emperor Yi looked at Liu Xun and asked softly.
"Let's go and take a look. EO can't appear here for no reason. They come here for only one reason, and that is the mission." Liu Xun replied casually.
"What's worth seeing in a small mountain village? Maybe they are just passing by." Mu Feiyan wiped his hands with a tissue and said with a frown.
Liu Xun smiled and said, "It was because of this small mountain village that I decided to go and take a look. An ordinary small mountain village actually has something that can attract the attention of EO's employer. This thing is definitely not a simple thing!"
You know, EO's asking price is very high. For any random task, the lowest price is hundreds of millions of US dollars. Is the employer a fool? Spending such a high price just to let them check a small mountain village
And from their conversation, combined with Liu Xun's prediction, they definitely didn't know what had happened, otherwise it would be impossible for these battle-hardened mercenaries to say such words.
"Let's go and see what's going on there." At about six o'clock, Liu Xun and his companions finished their meal and paid the bill, then headed southwest. With a lineup like theirs, they were not afraid of any unexpected events. Of course... they were just talking about events that were within common sense.
Night had fallen by then. Fifty kilometers was not very far, but also not very close. As the road beyond twenty kilometers was all mountainous, it took Liu Xun and his party an hour to reach the small village.
"Strange, there is not a single village within dozens of kilometers of this village. It's really weird." Di Yi was looking around all the way.
"Maybe it was dark and you didn't notice it." Liu Xun said casually.
After parking the car outside the village, Liu Xun and three others got out of the car one after another. The moment they got out of the car, they were all stunned, because the lights in front were bright, and many villagers were shopping in the market. However, the reason why the four people were stunned was not this, but this market... It didn't look like a modern market at all.
Although the villagers' clothing and appearance are modern, the things sold in the market... are not.
"It smells so good. There's food for sale up ahead. I wasn't full just now." Mu Feiyan said, and was about to enter the village and walk towards the stall, but at this moment, Di Yi grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" Mu Feiyan looked at Di Yi in confusion. Situ Ying was also a little surprised when she saw this scene. He just went to eat something, was it necessary to be like this
At this time, Di Yi's pupils were extremely strange, and under the light of the lamp, they sparkled with brilliance. Liu Xun frowned. Although he didn't say anything, this village... gave people a very strange feeling.
"Liu Xun... the nine-character mantra, you should be able to relate to it, right?" The emperor looked at Liu Xun, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Uh... what's wrong? But isn't that thing used to deal with ghosts? It's just a way for our ancestors to comfort themselves in ancient times." Liu Xun said, and as soon as he finished speaking, his face changed. He looked at Di Yi and said, "You're not saying..."
"First of all, I want to correct a misunderstanding and a cognitive error of yours! The misunderstanding is... they are not ghosts, but another kind of real creatures. It is just because people are afraid of them that they are called ghosts!" (To be continued)
