Chapter 5: Connectors

After we stayed at the Grand Palace Hotel in Tokyo, it was already early the next morning. The Fat Pig King naturally lived in a large suite with two "bodyguards", and we moved into the ordinary room respectively. Fu Chun summoned everyone to the Fat Pig King's room. Wu Dawei immediately took out an instrument similar to a digital multimeter and checked it carefully in the room. After a while, after he finished the inspection, he said to us:

"The room is temporarily safe and there is no surveillance equipment."

Fu Chun nodded and said, "It seems that no one has noticed us yet. Now I need two people to contact our contact person in Japan. Zhang Xuanbo is one, who else is willing to go?"

I thought about it and said, "Team leader, I'll go! I'm here this time to accumulate experience!"

Fu Chun pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Well, okay, after you go, you must be polite. Xiangtian is not a member of our staff, but he has been selflessly helping us over the past few years."

Zhang Xuanbo and I answered in unison: "Yes!"

Then, Zhang Xuanbo asked hesitantly: "Team leader, isn't someone in our organization? Then... is this reliable?"

Fu Chun smiled and said, "There is no problem! We have worked with him more than once! He is absolutely reliable!"

Then, Fu Chun explained the specific location and precautions of the joint.

Zhang Xuanbo nodded, then turned to me and said:

"Xiao Lu, then let's go!"

"Yes!" I answered intently.

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "By the way, you don't have to be so restrained after going out. You know, we are tourists who come for fun, and it's easy to expose your feelings when you speak..."

I scratched my head embarrassedly and said, "Haha, I understand."

We were walking on the streets of Tokyo. Although it was already late at night, there were still many pedestrians. From time to time, one or two drunkards stumbled past us. I asked as I walked:

"Brother Zhang, why are you in so many languages? I couldn't learn English well when I was in college, and I almost didn't pass the CET-4! And you can even speak Japanese..."

Zhang Xuanbo said with a smile:

"This is called having a specialty in profession! I studied at the Foreign Languages ​​College in college. I have been more talented in language since I was a child and learned very quickly. At the beginning, I just finished my professional courses and studied other languages ​​when I was bored. As a result, I learned one subject after another and became addicted to learning. Haha, I am learning Portuguese now!"

I opened my mouth wide in surprise and said, "You still learn..."

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "You're addicted! It's uncomfortable if you don't study!"

At this time, a few drunkards were shaking by the side. They held the wine bottle and spoke loudly. I turned around and asked curiously:

"Brother Zhang, what are they talking about?"

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "Isn't you complaining about this and that you are complaining about this and that you say that they have a lot of work pressure and their pace of life is very tight. The long-haired man in a long T-shirt said that their boss is a vampire and asks them to work overtime until very late every day. Then the short-haired guy next to him said that their company is in a downturn and may be going bankrupt... I didn't hear anything else clearly."

I had a sudden idea and said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you teach me Japanese! We will live here for a few more days! Although the birds of these bitches are so ugly, at least I must let me know what they are talking about! Now they are like deaf."

Zhang Xuanbo scratched his head and said, "Xiao Lu, learning language is not a matter of one or two days! This thing is not fast-acting, it depends on daily accumulation and practice."

I begged, "Just teach me! Maybe I have a good language talent! It's just that I haven't developed it!"

Zhang Xuanbo said helplessly: "Okay! I will teach you when I go back today! But tomorrow we will take action. I don't think you need to learn this thing. To be honest, I felt disgusted when I speak Japanese. This language is really ugly. If I hadn't joined Shadow and needed work, I would never have learned this Japanese word!"

I said happily: "Thank you, Brother Zhang! Haha, I'll invite you to drink when I have time! Let's just give a thank-you banquet at that time, haha!"

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "No problem, don't deny it then!"

While we were talking, we arrived at the bus stop. Zhang Xuanbo went over and looked at the stop sign and said to me:

"Xiao Lu, let's wait for the bus here. There is a bus that goes all night in Xiangtian. We'll have a bus later!"

I nodded and said, "Well, I'll listen to you in everything, Brother Zhang, I'm just here to learn, haha!"

Sure enough, after a while, the bus arrived. After getting on the bus, I found that the car was empty and there were fewer people taking the bus in the second half of the night. Zhang Xuanbo and I found a seat to sit down. I looked at Tokyo, which was bright and wine outside the window. The ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger. The car was very quiet, and only the sound of the engine was louder and deeper. I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. I couldn't explain why, it was completely my own feeling.

In order to suppress the bad feelings in my heart, I forced myself not to think about it, and then I had nothing to say:

"Brother Zhang, when did you go to college?"

Zhang Xuanbo opened his eyes and said, "A few years earlier than you! Haha, have you just graduated from college?"

I nodded. Zhang Xuanbo asked with a smile:

"Do you have a girlfriend? I heard Lei Jun say that your girlfriend is quite cute!"

I nodded and said, "Yes! A cute girl, she is still in school now! She should be in her dream..."

When he mentioned Xiaoying, my thoughts were completely trapped in my memories. The stunning feeling when I saw Xiaoying as white as snow at the first time, I still remember it freshly. My mind was completely filled with Xiaoying's beautiful appearance. Suddenly, my heart was filled with longing. The neon lights outside the car window shone in from time to time and were printed on my face. I looked outside blankly, and my heart had already flew to Chongqing, thousands of miles away, and to Xiaoying's side...

"Hey! Xiao Lu, what are you thinking!" Zhang Xuanbo pushed me.

I came to my senses and said, "Oh... nothing..."

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "Haha, you miss your girlfriend! Don't be embarrassed, Brother Zhang is a veteran, haha! By the way, after you go back this time, I will go and help you check it out if you have the chance! We Xiao Lu are handsome! Ordinary girls are definitely not worthy of you..."

I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Zhang, don't make fun of me, you are so handsome! Isn't it just a poor... a naked egg?"

I almost said that I was "poor and soldier". Although there were not many people on the bus, few people could understand Chinese. However, this mission is so dangerous, it is really good to be careful!

I smiled embarrassedly, and Zhang Xuanbo suddenly said:

"Xiao Lu, we're at the station, get off!"

"Oh... OK! OK! OK!" I agreed.

After getting off the bus, I found that this place and the hotel were just above and below, with dim street lights, dilapidated houses, bumpy roads, and a lot of water, emitting a smell of mold. A homeless man was sleeping sweetly under the billboard at the station! On the road, a few broken flyers were blowing, and the wind blew everywhere, just like paper money for sacrifices. The whole environment exuded a bleak smell, and it was very quiet, a bit weird.

I asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, are you sure it's this place?"

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "The address provided by Team Leader Fu is to get off here, walk forward for a while and arrive. Don't be too careful, Xiao Lu! People like Xiangtian are all dragons who don't see their heads and tails. There are many people here, and they are his best place to live. The so-called big hidden in the city!"

I nodded and said, "Yes! Let's go!"

Zhang Xuanbo looked at the terrain, then pointed forward, and said, "Just ahead, let's go!"

We walked along this street and met three homeless men, four wild cats and two wild dogs along the way. We carefully avoided the puddles under our feet and walked forward. After a while, I followed Zhang Xuanbo into a dark alley, and I muttered and scolded:

"What the hell is it? There is not even a street light. Tokyo is also known as an international metropolis!"

Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said, "Brother, bear it! There is a gap between the rich and the poor everywhere. Most of the people living here are foreigners, so they come to Japan to find gold!"

I whispered, "That's a shit! This dirty country, if I hadn't been for the sake of my mission, I wouldn't have come!"

While we were talking, we came to the door of a sandalwood shop with small lanterns. In Japan, there were many such small shops. Zhang Xuanbo walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened with a "creak" and a young man poked his head out and asked in Japanese. Zhang Xuanbo smiled and said in Chinese:

“We are here to buy sandalwood.”

A shiny light suddenly appeared in the young man's eyes, and it flew in a moment, and he said calmly:

"Sorry, the shop is closed!" This time he was speaking in Chinese.

Zhang Xuanbo looked at the young man and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the goods are good, I can pay half the price!"

I laughed in my heart: Who came up with such a secret code? But this can indeed prevent someone from making mistakes and saying the secret code.

Gu Jing Wubo asked, on the young man's face:

"What kind of sandalwood do you need?"

Zhang Xuanbo quickly replied: "I want to give you good Yunnan sandalwood, weighing thirteen taels, seven cents, and four cents."

The young man immediately opened the door, let him go aside, and said, "Please come in!"

Zhang Xuanbo and I walked into the store. As soon as we entered the door, I smelled a very heavy smell of sandalwood. The store was very small. Apart from the shelves, the remaining space for movement was very limited, and it was also opened in a small alley. It can be imagined that business must be very poor on weekdays.

The young man quickly closed the door and said to us:

"Please follow me."

We followed the young man into the backyard, and there was a small patio inside. After walking around the patio, there were three bungalows side by side. The young man walked to the door of the house in the middle, pressed a button on the door frame, and said:

"Brother, they are here!"

A bold voice came from the room and said, "Please come in!"

"Yes!" the young man replied respectfully, then turned to us and said:

"Our brother invites you in!"

Zhang Xuanbo nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother!"

Then we both pushed open the door and walked in. The small room was empty, with only one shrine, with a statue of Guandi on it. There was a huge red candle on both sides of the statue. The flames kept swaying, making the whole room look extremely strange. Zhang Xuanbo and I looked at each other, and at this time, a voice said:

"We are comrades from the People's Liberation Army! Haha, please don't be nervous. You walk to the shrine and turn the incense burner to the right half a circle."

I said to myself: "It turns out that there are three holes in the cunning rabbit. This Xiangtian seems not to be simple!"

Zhang Xuanbo was about to go up, but I stopped him and said, "Brother Zhang, I'll do it!"

I slowly walked to the shrine, reached out to grab the incense burner, and then slowly rotated to the right, which was quite heavy. I used eight points of strength to barely turn it. After turning half a circle, there was no reaction. I frowned and was about to speak when the voice of Xiangtian came again:

"Don't worry, if the mechanism is so simple, it will be easily cracked? Is there a light bulb on the ceiling?"

I looked up and saw that there was indeed a light bulb there, but it was not lighted up and covered with dust. I had to admire him for his disguise work being really good. I nodded, and I believe that our every move towards the sky was seen.

Sure enough, Xiang Tian smiled and said, "Screw it down."

Zhang Xuanbo and I looked at each other, turned around and moved over a chair in the room, stood up and held the light bulb, and slowly spun it down. Just as the light bulb was spun down, a wall in front of me suddenly separated, revealing a door. I said to myself: "It turns out there is a mezzanine in the wall, but this guy lives in the mezzanine, so the space is too small!"

At this time, Xiangtian said, "Open the door and come in!"

I walked over and pushed the door open, and found that the mezzanine was only one meter thick, but there was nothing here. I only saw steps extending underground. So that's it! I suddenly realized.

Zhang Xuanbo and I walked down the steps, and in a while, we came to the hall. As soon as we walked in, I opened my eyes wide in surprise. The layout here was too luxurious, and it was really in the same sky as the decorations in the shop just now! The whole hall was bright and decorated in antique. The carved tea table and the Eight Immortals table were made of rosewood. The tea sets on the tea table were not ordinary, but probably also fine products produced by the official kiln. There were marble screens next to it, and there was a couplet hanging in the hall: "The sea accommodates all rivers, and it is big to have tolerance; the wall is cut thousands of feet away, and no desires are strong." The horizontal banner actually said: "It is rare to be confused"! There is a picture of "pine and cypress" in the middle of the couplet, which is quite artistic.

On the chair of the Grand Master next to the Eight Immortals table was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. He was wearing a purple long gown and a black belt around his waist. I really didn't expect that there was someone in modern society in this outfit...

On the copper-colored face of the middle-aged man, his eyes stared at us with bright eyes. He laughed and said enthusiastically:
