At the foot of Mount Lushan, in the evening, in a village.
"...Lan Ke'er is still missing and the local police are continuing to investigate the matter."
In front of the TV, staring at the footage and listening to the news reports, an old man with gray hair and beard looked solemn and silent.
After a long time, the old man lifted up his wide robe, stood up slowly, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Taoist Master, are you leaving?"
"Well, your husband's condition is no longer serious, so Pindao will naturally say goodbye."
"No, no, no, no, Taoist priest, don't leave. At least you have to eat before you leave."
"No, it's still early. I can go back to the mountain and eat again."
"Look what you said, for the sake of my man, you come here all the time. You don't even charge for medicine. If you don't even pay for a meal, how will you let the neighbors look at me? Look, the food in the kitchen is almost ready. There are spicy chicken and braised dishes specially prepared for you.”
"Well, well, if that's the case, then it's better for me to be respectful than obey my orders."
Two hours later.
The sky was dark and starry, and the world fell into silence. Only patches of starlight enveloped the earth, reflecting a majestic and huge mountain.
Inside the Taoist temple in the mountains.
"Eh? This tastes...spicy chicken! Oh my god! Master, you are so treacherous. You actually went down the mountain to beat me to the tooth ceremony while I wasn't paying attention!"
"Hehehehe, it's not my fault. I just wanted to go to the town to buy some things. Unexpectedly, I happened to hear that Chen Laosan was possessed by an evil spirit when I passed by the village. I just helped him to settle the matter. I originally left after finishing the work, but what happened to Chen Laosan?" The third daughter-in-law is too enthusiastic and insists on begging me to leave after dinner. I am also forced to have no choice."
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it. Why can't I share this kind of good thing? I have gone down the mountain to do things for you, Master, many times, but why doesn't anyone invite me to dinner?"
"Okay, okay, you little brat, stop yelling. It's getting late. Go back to your room and go to sleep. Otherwise, you won't have to sleep tonight. I'll punish you by copying the Tao Te Ching all night long!"
The young man muttered and curled his lips and left.
Seeing this, the old man stopped talking, looked up at the stars, turned around and pushed the door back to his room.
Light the candles and sit down at the table.
After a moment of silence, the old man moved. Instead of washing and going to bed as expected, he reached into his sleeves, pulled out several pieces of yellow paper, and then placed the yellow paper on the table in the five-element orientation.
Finally, a bronze compass was placed in the middle of the wooden table.
The old man closed his eyes and said nothing, just stood in front of the table and pinched his fingers.
until……
Until there is no wind, the compass pointer automatically turns to a certain direction.
At the same time, in front of the table, the old man who had closed his eyes for a long time suddenly opened his eyes.
Next, a sigh.
The old man sighed and said something to himself, something that was puzzling:
"You are rushing at the time of the birth. In the direction of Kunqian, evil spirits are soaring into the sky. Lan Ke'er, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I am separated by an ocean and I can't do anything."
………
Bah.
A few minutes later, as the roar disappeared and the hatches opened, the hell train finally stopped. Seeing this, the executioners stepped off the train one after another, and with all kinds of uneasiness, they stepped out of the car door and entered the outside world.
As expected, as soon as they left the car, the surroundings fell into darkness, and everyone was enveloped in darkness. After waiting for about a minute, the vision gradually returned to clarity.
Along with it, there were bursts of noise.
Leaving aside how the newcomers turned around and looked for the inexplicably missing train, as their visual perception was completely restored, the seniors were the first to find that everyone was on a city street.
Listening to the noise in the ears, looking around, I saw that the place where everyone was standing was a wide street, with bustling pedestrians on both sides, shops on both sides of the street, and a constant flow of vehicles in the center. Not only that, if you look carefully, you can further spot the pedestrians passing by. Either blond, blue-eyed or dark-skinned, white or black, combined with street advertising, there is no doubt that, as expected, the performer is in an American city, a well-known city called Los Angeles.
Because he was well-informed, the exotic scenes around him did not have much impact on the seniors. Only Smith showed excitement after observing the environment. He first yelled, walked out of the team, opened his arms, and mouthed He said excitedly: "Oh god! It's Los Angeles. This is my first time here. I lived in Virginia before, but I didn't expect to come to Los Angeles today. This is cool!"
At present, Smith is very happy. After all, he is a black American. Sure enough, as he entered the mission world and found out that the location was actually the United States, the black man couldn't help but dance. Smith's behavior also showed that Everyone was quite astonished and secretly sighed that the way Americans express their emotions is really unique.
Regardless of how black people express their hometown complex, since most of the executioners are from the country Z, and they are gathered together in one place, during the gaze, in addition to the executioners observing the environment, passers-by also cast curious glances from time to time. However, they are curious and sideways. , but for He Fei at this moment, he no longer cared about observing his surroundings or paying attention to anything else. After just observing for a moment, the young man was able to find the target and the key. In an instant, his solemn eyes locked on the opposite side, staring straight ahead at the road. .
Opposite, there is a building, a luxury hotel.
The large English sign on the first floor of the hotel is clearly engraved with cecilhotel (Cecil Hotel)!
(found it!)
Seeing that the target was found, He Fei did not dare to neglect, first scanned the time on his watch, and then told everyone around him: "Follow me, let's go there!"
………
"The Cecil Hotel has a certain history, and its English name is Cecil Hotel. It integrates catering and entertainment. It is also a mid-to-high-end hotel located in downtown Los Angeles, California. The entire hotel has 14 floors and more than 600 rooms. Of course, These are not the main points. The main point is that the Cecil Hotel is a hotel where many murders have occurred in history. Among them, the most famous "Black Dahlia" victim, Elizabeth Short, died here and was found dead in 1947. Next to the corpse road, an insider said that the other party was last seen at the Cecil Hotel, so in general, although the Cecil Hotel is very famous, it is a hotel with a bad reputation."
Currently, a group of executors are standing collectively at the entrance of the Cecil Hotel. The above narrative with some introduction comes from the mouth of Smith, a black man. Even though he has never been to Los Angeles, he is also an American after all. In any case, some well-known places in the United States are better known than the Chinese people in the team, but then again, it is precisely because the Cecil Hotel is really famous that Smith can hear about it.
After listening to Smith's tedious introduction that was comparable to that of a tour guide, he glanced at the hotel door. Out of instinct, everyone turned around and looked at He Fei. The meaning of the inquiry was self-evident, but the strange thing was...
As the team leader, the young man did not lead everyone directly into the hotel as expected. Instead, he stood in front of the door and lowered his head to ponder. After a moment, the college student slowly raised his head, frowned and said to the side Cheng Ying: "The cursed space has its own language translation function. , it’s not a problem for us to communicate with the locals, so, can you get some weapons in half an hour?”
As soon as He Fei said this, everyone was stunned at first, and then looked suspicious. Most people were also puzzled by the young man's order. First of all, they must understand that they are here to perform a supernatural mission. In this case, for now, press the command as soon as possible. The mission requires that entering the hotel is the first key, but unexpectedly the result is... He Fei not only did not enter the hotel, but he hoped to get some weapons? What is going on?
Faced with He Fei's strange request, it is true that most people cannot understand it, but it does not mean that everyone cannot guess it. At least Cheng Ying has a vague understanding and has long-term trust in the youth. As He Fei asked, the professional killer directly answered the question. He nodded and replied: "Well, it's not a big problem to get guns here. After all, the United States is a country that allows gun ownership. There are also weapons stores selling guns in many places, but... you need a gun certificate to go to a regular weapons store. Purchase, and you only gave me just half an hour, so I can’t guarantee that I can quickly find the nearest weapons store.”
After hearing the answer, just when He Fei thought that the other party was about to express his helplessness, Cheng Ying abruptly changed the subject and continued: "But if it is a private transaction, well, I can give it a try, half an hour is probably enough. "
Upon hearing this, the college student's heart that was about to sink suddenly rose again! With a happy expression on his face, he hurriedly ordered: "Very good, you go and do this immediately, but you have to remember, no matter whether you get the gun or not, no matter how many you get, you must return within half an hour. You must enter the hotel, everyone and I will wait for you in the hotel lobby."
"no problem."
Time was limited and the situation was urgent. He Fei had just finished speaking. The next second, Cheng Ying turned around and left without hesitation after saying the next sentence. She walked across the road towards another street and disappeared into the crowd in the distance within a moment. .
"He Fei, what are you..."
Perhaps he was still confused by the young man's request. Seeing Cheng Ying leave and scratching his smooth scalp, how could Peng Hu still hold back? He was about to ask, but was stopped by the young man with a wave of his hand.
As for He Fei...
Wuzi raised his head, stared intently, and after taking a final look at the notorious hotel in front of him, he took a deep breath, the university came to life, and rushed to the hotel door first.
"Come on, let's go in!"
