From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 240 MacLehose Trail
Compared with the few files he had just looked through, the file on the missing persons case in Saigon did have a certain appeal to Jiang Yao.

Especially after hearing Huang Minghua talk about a colleague from the police force who went there and reappeared after being missing for eight years, Jiang Yao felt his eyes light up.

After all, ordinary people just want to have enough food and clothing, but among those who are already at the top of society, there are few who don’t want to seek immortality and live longer.

According to various news reports, there are already many wealthy people who have invested in various laboratories in order to delay aging. The number of such unknown institutions is definitely countless times more than those that have been exposed.

Whether in terms of power or wealth, Jiang Yao is definitely not ranked high, but in terms of personal strength, he is definitely among the best in the world.

Although there was no specific value about his lifespan on his light screen panel, he felt that he might have a shorter lifespan than ordinary people.

After all, before he practiced the Wild Dragon Fist, all the things he knew were underworld skills that no normal person could ever learn.

Even the Tiger Evil Form that looked a little more normal still needed to draw Yin Evil Energy into the body from time to time.

Every time he used the Yin Sha Body, his eyes would become dull and his bones would become bony, like a consumptive patient. He would need several days of rest before he could recover.

Whether it was being possessed by a ghost or having his mind confused in a dream, there were techniques that could not be used to circumvent this. Although he did not feel any discomfort when using these techniques, who knew whether his luck or lifespan had been greatly damaged as a result?
The man Huang Minghua was talking about died only three days after he came out of the forest in Saigon. However, his appearance did not show any signs of aging in the eight years that had passed. This was indeed the truth.

Jiang Yao was not only curious about this, but was also very excited.

If he were lucky enough to go to Saigon, he might find some secrets of eternal youth.

As soon as this thought appeared in Jiang Yao's mind, he felt eager to do something.

After all, his current strength has already far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Although many people disappeared inexplicably in the jungle of Saigon, they might not be able to trap him.

Besides, isn’t there a successful example of someone walking out of the dense forest again after being missing for many years?
An ordinary person can achieve this level. Jiang Yao, who thinks he is extraordinary, doesn't think he is worse than him.

"Mr. Jiang, with your abilities, you can go anywhere!" Huang Minghua on the side looked stunned and stared at Jiang Yao for a long time.

He seemed to know that his opinion was not being heard by the other party, so he sighed and agreed.

"With your good wishes, Mr. Huang, I will go to Saigon to take a look. There will definitely be no problem." Jiang Yao responded with a smile.

Putting down the file on the Saigon missing persons case, he picked up several other files on the coffee table in front of him and began to slowly browse through them.

In just less than half an hour, he had finished browsing all the documents.

It’s a pity that most of the cases recorded in the archives are from long ago.

The cases that happened in it may really have some unclean things involved, but their strength was too weak. They were basically the kind of evil creatures that had no actual attack power and could only rely on influencing people's perception to kill their targets.

Jiang Yao really had no interest in this kind of weak thing.

There is a female ghost named Qingqing in Jinxia Building. Jiang Yao has been paying the rent for that house and has not yet moved out.

Such a long time has passed since the last battle between the two. If nothing unexpected happens, Qingqing should have reappeared in the house.

With a better Wild Dragon Fist to practice, Jiang Yao no longer wanted to invite evil into his body again and continue his transformation into an evil corpse. He ran to Jinxia Building to continue playing games with Qingqing, which no longer had much meaning for him.

It was for this reason that, even though he knew Qingqing should have recovered and returned, he did not go to Jinxia Building again.

Even though it was obvious that there was a ghost there, he didn't want to go there. The files Huang Minghua brought over only showed places where there might be ghosts causing trouble, which couldn't arouse much interest in him.

"Regarding this Sai Kung missing case, Mr. Huang, does the police have any more detailed information?"

After putting all the files back on the coffee table, Jiang Yao pointed at the file he had placed aside and asked.

Dozens of people disappeared in the mountains of Saigon.

The file Huang Minghua brought over only contained a rough outline of what was recorded. Otherwise, if the information related to dozens of cases were combined together, there would definitely be more than just this.

"There should be. After we return to the police station, I will help you look for it carefully, Mr. Jiang!" Huang Minghua nodded and agreed.

"Thank you for your help!" Jiang Yao smiled and pointed to the other documents on the coffee table in front of him. He continued, "Except for the Saigon missing case, I don't need the other files at all. You can just take them back later."

"Over at Jin Taizi Pictures, the two films that Qingqing shot recently were both very popular."

"I heard that you seem to be very interested in this woman. In the evening, I will ask Big Brother Xiong to arrange something for you so that you can have a good time."

To drive your subordinates, you have to use both sweet treats and a big stick.

Although Huang Minghua has been controlled, it is definitely necessary to give him some benefits while making him do things for him.

This time, Huang Minghua must have put a lot of effort and thought into what he asked him to do. The Saigon missing case in the file also made Jiang Yao very interested.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Yao would naturally not be stingy in giving Huang Minghua some benefits.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang, thank you Mr. Jiang!" Huang Minghua's eyes lit up when he heard the name Qingqing.

He smiled widely and quickly thanked Jiang Yao.

Originally, he had quite good self-control when it came to women, but ever since he was dragged into this situation and started to degenerate, he has become uncontrollable in this regard.

Huang Minghua has watched the movie Crazy for You, starring Qingqing, several times. He is so greedy for the female protagonist in the movie that he is almost drooling.

It's just a pity that those female porn stars under Jin Taizi Films, which is owned by Bingzai, are not famous enough. If they are really famous, they will be cash cows and he can't just take advantage of them.

After getting the promise from Jiang Yao, he happily packed up the files on the coffee table, bowed to Jiang Yao, said hello, then turned around and walked out of the living room.

Two days later, around nine in the morning, Saigon, Mi Noodle House.

"Boss, give me a pack of cigarettes!" Wearing a stab-proof suit and holding a trekking pole in his hand, Jiang Yao got off the motorcycle.

He walked a few steps to the door of a convenience store and said to the store owner with a smile.

"What kind of cigarettes?"

"Hong Wan Bar!"

"Good Le!"

The shop owner was a bald man in his fifties. After collecting the money and handing the cigarette to Jiang Yao, he smiled and said, "Handsome boy, judging from your posture, are you here to climb the mountain? Where are your companions? You are not alone, are you?"

Saigon is considered a sparsely populated area, and we opened a store here to serve the mountaineers.

From the way Jiang Yao was dressed, one could tell what he did. The shop owner's words were purely polite.

"It's just me, without any companions. I seldom exercise on weekdays. I come here to climb the mountain, just to do some exercise to help digestion!" Jiang Yao responded casually with a laugh.

Of course, while speaking, he did not forget to leave a spiritual mark on the shop owner without leaving a trace.

After arriving near the forest, he wandered around the road for a while.

It wasn't just the owner of this convenience store. He found opportunities to leave a mark on several shop owners wherever he passed by.

Jiang Yao did this, of course, not to have any bad intentions towards them. He just wanted to use these spiritual marks to determine his position after entering the forest in Saigon.

After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

There have been more than one or two missing people in the mountains of Saigon. If something unexpected really happened and they lost their way in the dense forest, then the spiritual imprints of these shop owners would undoubtedly be a guiding light for Jiang Yao.

"Climbing a mountain alone? That's a bit rare."

The bald boss laughed and said, "From here, if you go another four or five miles, you can't ride a bike anymore, you can only walk."

"You must know the MacLehose Trail. Don't rashly cross this road into unfamiliar mountains and forests. It's easy to get into an accident!"

People who often come here to climb the mountain don’t look like Jiang Yao at all.

As if he had noticed that he was a novice, the bald boss kindly warned him.

"Well, I know!"

"I heard that some people disappeared without a trace after crossing this road. I was just strolling around. I wouldn't dare to run around!" Jiang Yao responded with a grin.

He walked a few steps back to where he parked his car, got on his motorcycle, and continued walking forward on the mountain road.

Although he seemed to have nothing with him except a trekking pole, in fact, his one cubic meter storage space was already filled to the brim.

Of course, the things he stored in there, apart from an AK and an alloy machete, were basically food and water.

As for daily necessities such as tents and sleeping bags, Jiang Yao did not make any preparations at all.

After all, he was not a newbie who had never been to the mountains. When he escaped from his hometown, he and Bingzai lived as savages in the mountains for a long time.

It is already July and August, and the weather in Hong Kong is rarely freezing cold. With his current abilities, as long as he has enough food, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to find a place to sleep in the mountains.

"Dude, you're here to climb the mountain, too? Alone?"

The mountain road became more and more rugged and steeper, and the motorcycle could no longer be ridden. Jiang Yao had just parked his motorcycle and was about to hike up the mountain when a group of climbers who were squatting on the side of the road to rest not far away greeted him with a smile.

Compared with Jiang Yao who was only holding a trekking pole, the guy who was speaking and his companion were each carrying a large backpack half a person's height. The things in the backpack, conservatively estimated, probably weighed more than ten or twenty kilograms.

"Well, what about you guys? Carrying so much luggage, are you planning to camp in the mountains?" Jiang Yao asked, nodding with a smile.

"I have this idea!" The man laughed and said, "It's just a hiking stick. You look like a newcomer."

"Walking for a while and then coming back, climbing like this is almost like taking a walk in the park, what's the point?"

"Learn from us and walk all the way to the top of the mountain. Only then will you be able to see the most beautiful scenery!"

……

Compared with Jiang Yao, these two men looked older, probably around thirty years old.

In front of Jiang Yao, the new and fresh-faced newcomer, the two men sang in unison and spoke about things related to mountaineering with great eloquence.

"Brother Fang, Brother Lin, I heard that people often go missing inexplicably in the mountains and forests in Saigon."

"You come here so often, aren't you afraid of accidents?" Jiang Yao asked with a smile after chatting with the two of them for a while.

These two guys, one is called Fang Jianzhong and the other is called Lin Xingming.

After chatting with them for a while, Jiang Yao naturally knew their names.

"It is true that some people are missing, but the people who are in accidents are those who don't follow the rules and like to wander around."

"The road we are walking on is the MacLehose Trail, one of the most famous hiking routes in the world."

"The MacLehose Trail in Sai Kung is only a part of the entire route. If you keep walking along this road, as long as you don't go into the nearby mountains and forests, you will definitely be fine."

"The steeper the mountain road, the more sense of achievement we feel when we climb it. I have walked the MacLehose Trail in Sai Kung six or seven times and never had any problems."

"Ayao, you suddenly asked this. Could it be that you came here on purpose to seek excitement?"

Fang Jianzhong and Lin Xingming looked at each other and asked with a smile.

In this world, some people have nothing better to do than to challenge their limits and seek excitement.

In some sports or in some places, people know that accidents are prone to happen and people often die, but not only do they not fear it, they get more and more involved.

"I'm just strolling around. I'm leaving now. I won't talk to you anymore!" Jiang Yao laughed and greeted the two of them. Then he strode up the mountain along the path.

Together with Fang Jianzhong and Lin Xingming? He had never thought of that.

After all, these two people were too slow, and each of them was carrying such a big bag.

With Jiang Yao's speed, he could climb mountains and cross hills as if walking on flat ground. He was much faster than an ordinary person.

Judging from the file that Huang Minghua brought over, the section of MacLehose Trail in Sai Kung should be very strange and eerie.

But now, he had only run less than ten kilometers along this rugged mountain path, and the number of climbers he saw had exceeded ten.

I don't know whether these people who run to this mountain road are unbelieving or just looking for excitement.

Jiang Yao passed by these people and had no intention of chatting with them any further.

His purpose has always been clear. He did not come here to climb mountains, but to look for something abnormal.

Seeing that the mountain path was becoming more and more rugged and the forest was becoming more and more dense, he not only did not stop, but instead crossed the boundary marker beside the trail and plunged into the forest.
