Chapter 488 Villain
late at night,
Chen Ling and Yang Xiao walked out of the airport gate side by side.
"Why do we have to come out? Didn't the airline arrange a special bus to take us to Suzhou?" Yang Xiao looked at the quiet road around him and asked doubtfully.
Because the flight was forcibly changed to its destination, the airline compensated every passenger. However, Chen Ling did not take the bus they arranged. Instead, she took Yang Xiao away directly. At this time, there were no vehicles or pedestrians at the airport gate. , there were only a few taxis or online ride-hailing cars waiting aside, and beyond that was the dark night.
"The bus is too slow." Chen Ling said calmly, "Although we have temporarily delayed [Sirius], with his strength, he can escape easily...he will catch up with us sooner or later, so now every day Every minute is too precious and cannot be wasted.”
"There are no planes or high-speed trains here. How can we get to Suzhou without taking a bus?"
"I will drive."
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Where did we get the car?"
Chen Ling smiled slightly, walked straight to the nearest taxi, and knocked on the driver's window.
When the dozing driver saw someone, he immediately rolled down the window and asked sleepily: "Where are you going?"
"I'll transfer you 300,000 yuan and lend me the car to drive for two days."
"……What the hell???"
Three minutes later.
Chen Ling fastened her seat belt and stepped on the accelerator to the floor. The yellow taxi roared out with a roar!
At the desolate airport gate, only the taxi driver was sitting on the roadside blankly, looking at the extra three hundred thousand balance on the card, his hands were shaking...
After a while, he made a trembling phone call and murmured dreamily:
"Mom, I'm so rich!"
…
Buzz—!
Yellow taxis flash across the road.
The howling wind swept into the car wildly. Yang Xiao shook it with his hand for a long time before slowly closing the window. His hair had been blown as messy as a chicken coop.
"Three hundred thousand, just borrowing it for a few days?" Yang Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Even if this car is brand new, it's not worth three hundred thousand, right?"
"It doesn't matter, money in this era is just a number to you and me, just rob the rich and give to the poor."
Chen Ling spoke nonchalantly.
Chen Ling's foot stepped lower and lower on the accelerator. The hum of the engine was like the roar of a wild beast. As the pointer on the instrument panel gradually increased, Yang Xiao subconsciously grabbed the door handle.
"Are you speeding?"
"Yeah, but the speed cameras won't catch us."
"...Hacking accounts, stealing money, evading fares, hijacking planes, seizing cars, speeding... Why do I feel like we are the villains?"
"To be precise, it is to crack down on illegal transactions, earn reasonable commissions, protect passenger safety, expand the second-hand car trading market, and...well...speeding is speeding. Compared with Jiujun's life, a few tickets are nothing. What?"
Yang Xiao:......
With Chen Ling's current observation skills and reaction speed, even driving at high speed will not pose any safety risks. He put one hand on the window and controlled the steering wheel with the other hand, speeding on the highway in the dark night. At this speed, They would definitely reach Suzhou in an hour and a half.
"Speaking of which, what happened to the person on the plane?" Yang Xiao asked in confusion, "I thought the Fourteen Divine Ways you mentioned only exist in the future."
"No, Shinto is the embodiment of 'profession' in human civilization. They have existed since the birth of human civilization." Chen Ling answered unhurriedly, "For example, Ying Fu and Bai Qi, they were in ancient times He found Shinto in his time, and it became part of the ancient collection of Shinto after his death... So theoretically, there will also be Shinto owners in this era, but the number is very small. "
Chen Ling took out the flip phone from her pocket and handed it to Yang Xiao, the passenger, "Look at the videos in the album."
Although Yang Xiao was confused, she still opened the flip phone.
The first thing that caught his eye was a selfie wallpaper of Chen Ling's scissorhands, and Yang Xiao's expression suddenly became a little weird.
"Do you usually like to use selfies as wallpaper?"
"...No, that was just an accident."
Yang Xiao opened the photo album, and there was only one video in it. The picture was of a foreign casino. A figure in a floral shirt won a bet against another man. The next moment, the man began to age visibly, as if something had taken him away. life.
In the past, Yang Xiao would have felt that this video had been processed, but after experiencing something personally, his perception had changed.
"The one in the video is also a Shinto owner?"
"Well." Chen Ling said thoughtfully, "As I said, Shinto is the embodiment of 'profession', and the characteristics of 'profession' are different in different eras, so maybe in our era, there is also Shinto that belongs to this era. path……
However, with the rapid development of material civilization, the spiritual civilization brought about by 'profession' is constantly flattening. People are losing their professional spirit, or professional belief, and are gradually becoming mechanized tools... Such spiritual civilization is It cannot be recognized by Shinto, so there are very few Shinto owners in this era.
On the contrary, when the Red Star passed by and human material civilization began to regress, spiritual civilization was gradually rebuilt in the disaster. Therefore, in the era of the Nine Realms, there were far more Shinto owners than now. "
Yang Xiao thought carefully for a long time and roughly understood Chen Ling's thoughts.
"According to what you said, the [Sirius] on the plane should be considered extremely rare?"
"That's right... He should have experienced some things that ordinary people can't experience, and coupled with his own extraordinary talents, he was able to embark on this Shinto." Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, "In this era, Shinto Not having many owners means that the power of the [Emperor] is greatly limited... which is a good thing for us."
"It's a pity that we can't obtain relevant information about [Sirius]." Yang Xiao sighed, "If we could know more about him, we might be able to grasp his weaknesses, and we wouldn't be so passive."
This sentence was a wake-up call for Chen Ling, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Yes, this era is different from the era of the Nine Realms. In this society where information networks are everywhere, everyone will leave traces more or less... and there is a place that may store what they want to see. .
"Who said it's impossible to obtain his information?" Chen Ling smiled slightly, "Don't forget, that guy... should still be questioned and interrogated in the Public Security Bureau."
"You want to infiltrate the public..." Yang Xiao stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
"No, I just copied a document."
Chen Ling reached out and tapped on the flip phone, and an electronic file automatically started downloading. Within a few seconds, it showed that the download was completed.
Yang Xiao looked at the secret file on his phone that was supposed to be locked in the local area network, and smiled bitterly.
"Very good... Now he really becomes a villain."
