old dream

Chapter 164 Mask, Trap

"If nothing else happens, Linus should have predicted your transport route by now." Ji Lian asked:
"So the bootleg liquor reserve for the next few months has been completed?"

The glass windows have been covered with curtains, and the street lamps are passing by outside the car, leaving only spots of dim light penetrating into the car, retreating neatly.

"Canado and the others have been living on the cargo ship for five days."

Colin turned the steering wheel welded by thin steel pipes, and said:
"Another group of people rowing boats along the coast recently had to pick up goods three times a day. They were so tired and dizzy that they barely managed to bring them in last night."

"Enough to consume for the next three months."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the piston connected to the horn to drive away passers-by, and then pressed the brass accelerator lever with the other hand, or the manual "throttle".

The price of this car is 850 Ori, and there is no such thing as a driver's license test, so he bought one and drove directly on the road.

Although it is a trendy cheap mass-produced model, it still has an old and familiar taste.As products of similar craftsmanship, their general appearance is quite similar to some classic designs on Earth before World War II.

It's just that the operation is much more complicated, and most of the time you need to control two joysticks and several pedals at the same time.

In addition, the horn is nearly one meter away from the driver's seat, and the manual wipers can only be reached by standing up.Driving a car like this feels like doing some kind of weird dance of hands and feet.

There is no speedometer, and there is no reminder of redstone consumption. You need to remember how far you have driven from time to time, otherwise you may run out of power at any time and stop halfway.

This made him ponder, if some simple designs on the earth are moved here in the future, is it possible to become a car king?

"Actually, I really want to take a look at the so-called redstone engine."

In the narrow back seat, Ji Lian hugged her legs and said with great interest:
"I can't even sense any trace of spiritual essence. How did I get to this point?"

When the mystical theory is combined with mechanization, it seems to usher in a new leap in recent years.

"After you are cured and I unseal the seal." Colin stretched out his foot and stepped on the reverse gear pedal and said:
"You can dismantle as much as you want."

In order not to expose his daily activity route, Ke Lin did not hire a driver, but took a little time to get used to this kind of car.

"It'll be here soon," said Colin.

"The front is our new warehouse."

After learning that Linus was using reverse resonance prediction, Colin also responded immediately.

First of all, before the other party finds out his smuggling route, the transportation and storage for the next few months are completed in advance.And guarantee the safety of this batch of new goods.

Since the opponent can obtain additional information from the samples, Ke Lin also tacitly assumes that they can already find out all the current warehouse addresses.

So he started to build a new secret warehouse, and the bootleg wine that entered this warehouse will not flow into the market for the time being, lest they fall into the hands of opponents and expose their positions.

The old car stopped slowly, turned off the engine quietly, and Colin pulled out the brass key.

Inspired by the previous northern organization, he also chose a grain warehouse in the northern suburbs.The land here is sparsely populated, and there are hundreds of similar small warehouses.

In order to prevent anyone from using witchcraft similar to "finding objects", it only accepts goods that have just floated from the sea, and changes several trucks during transportation.

Ke Lin put on the burn mask silently. There was no light in the car, and this weird and hideous face was reflected in the rearview mirror, looking like a ghost.

"This kind of fun makes people feel a little disgusted."

Ji Li'an looked at this face with some disgust, it seemed human yet inhuman, with a blood-stained smile.At this moment, Colin was arranging his hair in front of the mirror.

"Disgusting?" Colin said with a smile:
"But there are many people who like this mask more and more."

"What they like is what is expressed behind this mask, banter, years of anger, and even extreme revenge." Ji Lian said:
"Can the current 'Lieutenant' bring them these?" She asked:
"After opening the magic box with your own hands and returning the violence to them...can you really control this mask?"

"Wait in the car for a while."

Ke Lin didn't answer Ji Lian's question, but walked towards the warehouse after a brief instruction.

There are a few soldiers who stay here specially, not in contact with the outside world.In order not to let them see Ji Lian's face, Ke Lin sent them back to his temporary residence.

Ji Lian got out of the car with her arms around her elbows, took a breath, and tightened her short shawl.The weather is getting cooler, and it feels more pronounced in open spaces.

The huge door made of thick wooden slats and planks was slowly pushed open by Colin.

Ji Lian followed him into the barn.Under the brush-like thick eyelashes, she raised her lowered eyes and saw a sea of ​​bootleg wine.

The strong aroma filled the hundreds of square meters of the barn, as if just inhaling it could make people drunk.

All kinds of wine boxes and wine barrels are piled up layer by layer, forming a mountain, from here to the place where the light disappears, it seems that there is no end in sight.

"Here, how many are there..."

she murmured.

Ji Lian's impression of the bootleg warehouse is still on the small shelf in her apartment.

And the more than a thousand bottles of ouzo stacked there have turned into... an entire warehouse in just one month?

"The shipment is too urgent, and it is not clear now." Colin said:

"A conservative estimate, around 570 tons."

"Cough cough..."

Not knowing whether she was choked by the number or just caught cold outside, Ji Lian covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed.

Colin pushed the heavy door panel up again. After the squeak and bang of the huge metal shaft, the huge barn suddenly became quiet again.

Their task today is to reversely use Lynas's prediction method to make some manipulations on the sample medium.

"Don't let other people come over to help?"

Ji Li'an took a breath and asked quietly.

"Don't let them see your face," said Colin:

"After all, I will be found too."

"But here are..."

570 tons.

"It only needs to modify thirty tons of them." Colin said:

"Anyway, it only takes five to six days."

To anticipate the new information, Linus needs to adjust the direction of the ceremony.

The closer the samples are in time, the more accurate the results will be.Moreover, the medium that has been used once will gradually become invalid, so he needs to collect samples from the market again.

This round of forecasting will probably take another five to six days.

But starting tomorrow, all bootlegs on the market will be replaced with another batch.

And Ji Lian and Ke Lin are going to bury wrong information in this batch of goods in advance tonight.

"People at Linus' level will make some subtle changes to their own symbol system, which is like a code to prevent others from interfering with the ritual."

"Knowing this set of codes is like losing the most important protection, which is equivalent to knowing how to disturb the final result."

However, Elena unsuspectingly told herself about the symbol system Linus used:
"It is not to block the occurrence of resonance, but to allow correct results to produce wrong expressions."

The information Linus wants to obtain this time is the location of the secret warehouse of the Stade Agency.

In other words, letting the ritual tell him a wrong position can lure him into a certain trap.
