Novel: In the river near the border, there is a black dragon hidden, which is said to be controlled by people

It was almost one o'clock in the morning, but in the temporary camp of the International Society for Biological Research, everyone had not yet fallen asleep.

Except for the mercenaries who routinely patrolled the night watch outside, everyone else was concentrated in Lin Shuo's tent.

Because the sniper threat had not yet been completely lifted, there were no lights in the tent surrounded by fortifications on all sides.

This meeting was initiated by Lin Shuo on his own initiative.

This was the first time since the establishment of the squad that everyone looked at it, except for Anne, who could talk to him a few words, and he didn't care about the others at all.

Everyone was in the darkness, waiting for Lin Shuo to speak.

No one dared to urge, because they knew that Xiao Ba had not returned after going out, and Lin Shuo's mood was actually very bad.

"Before, we all thought that the Dragon King messenger was a charlatan." Lin Shuo finally spoke, "Later, I realized the identity of the person in his door, but I didn't think about it, and now I figure it out." “

"Mr. Lin, what is a doorman?" He Zihong asked.

"In the words of ordinary people, the people in the door are actually strange people and strangers." Lin Shuo said, "Some of them are inherited from the ancient times, and some of them inherit the Hundred Sons and Hundred Families of the Spring and Autumn Period. In ancient times, they were the best in all walks of life. However, now that the times have changed, many industries no longer exist, and no one has mentioned them.

Although in the eyes of the world, their reputation is not obvious now, after all, they are burdened with inheritance, regarded as having crossed various thresholds, and their ability is different from ordinary people, so in our circle, they are collectively called men. ”

"Mr. Lin must be a member of the door?" He Zihong asked again.

"Of course." Anne replied for Lin Shuo, "Mr. Lin may have crossed the highest threshold in the world today." ”

This woman held Lin Shuo very high, but she never mentioned the identity of the person in her door.

"Gossip less." Lin Shuo said, "This Dragon King Emissary, before I didn't know what kind of doorman he really was, but now it is obvious that he is a shepherd." ”

"How do you see it?" Wei Xingshan asked.

"Because the Black Water Dragon King killed people." Lin Shuo said, "Shepherd, strictly speaking, in fact, in ancient times, it was a branch that split off from our hunting gate, and there are many specific categories, but overall, it is divided into two roads: water and drought. Water grazing raises and grazes strange creatures in the water, while dry shepherds control strange creatures on land.

They are different from us hunters, the way of treating strange creatures, they are raised, we are killed, but the purpose is still the same, that is, to avoid these strange creatures from harming human beings. ”

"What are strange beings?" He Zihong asked.

"It's the xenomorph of the beasts." Lin Shuo explained, "These xenomorphs are either powerful, extremely intelligent, or both. The strange creatures that have survived so far know how to hide from people. So people nowadays have hardly heard of them. Our target this time, the hook snake, is one of the strange creatures. ”

"Oh, it's unheard of." He Zihong shook his head.

Lin Shuo ignored the biologist's feelings and continued: "More than a hundred years ago, most of the shepherds mixed well, but since there were guns in this world, it was difficult for strange beings to survive in the world, and there were fewer and fewer shepherds who made a living from strange creatures. When I saw the Dragon King's emissary before, I thought he was just a side door left, maybe he knew the Black Water Dragon King, but he couldn't control the Dragon King.

But now, the Black Water Dragon King began to kill people, which would explain some problems.

The Black Water Dragon King had never killed anyone in the Outer Xing'an Mountains for so many years, and even if the beasts were xenomorphs, they would not suppress their instincts for so long. Therefore, the nature of the Black Water Dragon King is that of a relative. This sudden killing should have been directed by someone.

And the only one who can command such a strange creature is a shepherd in the world today.

Combined with what the Dragon King Messenger said to me, it can basically be judged that the Dragon King Messenger is the shepherd, and it should be a water shepherd. ”

"You mean that the Black Water Dragon King is actually controlled by the Dragon King's emissaries?" Anne asked.

"Hmm." Lin Shuo nodded, "I can control such a big guy as the Black Water Dragon King, his Dao is not shallow, I looked away before." ”

"Then what was his intention in killing those snipers?"

"I don't know the exact intention." Lin Shuo said, "But at least, he is showing us favors." ”

"It's normal." Anne said, "After all, he has already lured Mr. Lin over, and if he doesn't show kindness, won't he be able to save the Black Water Dragon King?" ”

"It's not that simple." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Don't forget, there is also a hook snake here." ”

……

After the meeting, the crowd dispersed, Anne was not sleepy, originally wanted to stay in the tent and talk to Lin Shuo for a while.

But she found that Wei Xingshan handed Lin Shuo a cigarette.

Lin Shuo did not refuse to accept it, and Wei Xingshan himself lit one.

Two cigarette butts burned quietly in the darkness, and the tent was so quiet that it could be heard.

Obviously, Wei Xingshan had no intention of leaving.

Anne felt that it was inconvenient for her to stay for long, so she had to stand up.

"Miss Anne." Wei Xingshan let out a puff of smoke, "You stay, I have something to tell you and Mr. Lin." ”

"Oh." Anne's heart fluttered slightly, probably understanding what he was going to say.

During the day today, Yang Tuo's doubts about the relationship between the gunman and Wei Xingshan were actually suppressed by Lin Shuo and Anne.

Lin Shuo was standing next to Wei Xingshan at that time because of logical analysis and felt that the key point was not here.

Anne didn't ask questions at that time because he knew Wei Xingshan's details and trusted this person.

"Thank you so much during the day today." The cigarette butts on Wei Xingshan's mouth flickered on and off, and Anne couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice sounded sincere.

"Captain Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it." Anne said softly, "Mr. Lin and I both listened. ”

"I really don't know those gunmen." Wei Xingshan said, "However, I may know who led their team in this operation." ”

"Oh?"

"Although it is useless to know who it is, it may not be useful. But I just want to come and go, or I want to tell you to listen, lest I be stupid and not think things through. ”

"Team Wei, please speak."

"This man's name is Yu Ruifeng, and six years ago, he was in the same unit as me. Before him, he was my best comrade-in-arms. Strong ability and solid work. ”

"Yu Ruifeng? Are you sure it's him? Anne asked.

"Our unit is a secret force, and no one knows our names except each other and the superior leaders. If someone is a mercenary now and knows me, it should be him. Wei Xingshan analyzed.

"Then, since you are a comrade-in-arms, why would he target you?" Anne asked.

"Because I turned my face." Wei Xingshan said.

"How can you turn your face?" Anne was puzzled, "The comrades in the army, especially the troops you were staying in before, the action is so dangerous, it should be a lifelong friendship." ”

"Who says it's not. I can't count the number of times we've saved each other. If you count it, I probably owe him more. Wei Xingshan sighed, "Three years ago, an operation of the troops went wrong, and a comrade-in-arms was sacrificed, and yu Ruifeng hated me for this." ”

"Captain Wei, thank you for this information." Anne said, "This person named Yu Ruifeng, although he has a personal grudge with you, should have been hired to target us." Knowing his identity, we can inquire about who he has recently come into contact with through the sources of the International Biological Society. It would be possible to find out who his employer was. ”

"I thought the same thing, so I told you anyway."

"Then why didn't you say it before?" Lin Shuo asked, "What is there to hide from this kind of thing?" ”

"I guessed it was him at first, but I wasn't sure, I was afraid of blaming him, and I was afraid of misleading you, so I simply pretended to be confused." Wei Xingshan said, "But today, when I was investigating, I wanted to come and go, whether it was him or not, and let Miss Anne check it out, and finally a clue." ”

Anne thought for a moment and then asked softly, "Captain Wei, your sacrificed comrade-in-arms is a woman, right?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Xingshan answered.

The tent suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Lin Shuo spoke, "I don't know how you are as soldiers." At least we hunters, as long as we take the deal, we can't be emotional. Once there is affection between men and women, the brain will not be clear. Between you and that Yu Ruifeng and that woman, it is such a broken thing, right? ”

"Almost."

"I saw that you look tall and big, but I didn't expect that the feelings were still quite delicate." The corner of Lin Shuo's mouth smoked, "Leave half a pack of cigarettes and go back to sleep." ”

"Hey." Wei Xingshan answered, left the whole box of cigarettes in the tent, got up and walked out.

"And you." Lin Shuo twisted his head to Anne, who was still grinding and rubbing, "Is it appropriate to stay in a man's tent in the middle of the night?" ”

"I..." Anne was embarrassed by the words, stomped her feet, and left.

After driving out the people, Lin Shuo grabbed a cigarette and walked out of the tent.

He looked sheepishly to the northwest, the smoke continuing one after another.

Little Eight flew away from this direction.
