Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 430 Members of the Scientific Expedition Team
We stayed in an unknown small courtyard in Dihua for two days, and finally got to meet all the members of the Kunlun Mountains expedition team this time.

The captain of the investigation team this time is a powerful figure in the operation department of the Tianji Department, named Peng Jianxiong. He is one of the three generals under Deputy Director Tian. For introverted.

At first glance, this person does not seem to have much strength, but he gives people an indescribable awe, and he is a person with great leadership ability.

In addition to Captain Peng, Zhang Jie, Teacher Zhang, is a senior researcher in the National Library who enjoys special allowances from the State Council.

Although she is in her 60s and has white hair, she is not a practitioner, but she is familiar with countless collections and has studied many allusions and geographical knowledge of Kunlun Mountain. She is an expert consultant specially invited this time, and she is well maintained. He is full of energy, not at all like an old man who is over sixty years old.

Teacher Zhang also brought a student, a doctoral student she brought, named Huang Xueer, who was in his 30s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses with thick beer bottle bottoms, looked a little dull, and didn't talk much. , It seems that reading is stupid.

In addition, Xie Ning, the inspector sent by the Ministry of Supervision, is a 27-year-old woman with a pretty appearance, but her lips are thin, and she always squints her eyes, with a look of scrutiny. The female cadres of the same style have short hair, which makes people really unapproachable.

Of course, this person is also a hidden master of cultivation.

In addition, Captain Peng also brought two assistants, one named Chen Jing, and the other named Xia Longfei, one of these two was from the Mohist family and had a good understanding of organ techniques, while the other was the god of sackcloth. In the same vein, but he doesn't look at people, but specializes in the study of magic circles, and he can be regarded as a technical talent.

In addition to these few people, through the coordination of the Tianji Department, a squad of soldiers was also coordinated from the military.

The temperament of these people is very similar to the soldiers we met on the plane before, but the unit numbers are different and the armbands are also different.

On the armbands of these people is a white tiger that chooses and devours.

They were not ordinary soldiers, but because they didn't wear epaulets, their ranks couldn't be distinguished, and these ten people were directly led by a captain named Huang Ming.

The entire expedition team, including myself, Ma Yi'ao and Tang Dao, has a total of 19 people.

For such a configuration, I personally feel quite strange, especially the ten soldiers, although it can be seen that they are all specially trained steel warriors, and all of them are top-notch figures, many of them even I can also do hard qigong, but I still haven't figured out what effect they have on this investigation.

But later, when they got all the communication equipment and other precision instruments carried by the individual soldiers, I realized that in addition to protecting the members of the expedition team, they also took on the responsibility of communication and contact.

It can be seen from this that the scientific investigation organized by the Tianji Department actually took a lot of thought.

I thought so, but when there was no one around, Ma Yi'ao told me in a low voice, saying that this might involve some constraints and struggles within the Gongmen.

Of course, this has nothing to do with us.

Ma Yi'ao and I went this time, and the main task was to protect the members of the investigation team.

Of course, this is just an excuse for us to join. In fact, the main purpose of our coming here is for Ujin in the White Tiger Secret Realm, that is, the medicine guide that can help me overcome the catastrophe.

After all the members arrived, Captain Peng notified us, saying that he would give everyone half an hour, and then they would directly enter the state of secrecy, confiscate everyone's mobile phones and communication devices, and redistribute them.

From then on, until the end of the inspection operation, no one is allowed to contact the outside world privately.

I used this half an hour to make a phone call to my parents who were far away in Tanzhou. Listening to my mother's nagging and concerned words on the other end of the phone, my heart became inexplicably peaceful.

When the time came, Captain Peng collected everyone's communication equipment, and held a meeting for everyone in the temporary conference room.

Several things were determined at the meeting, the first was the principle of confidentiality, the second was several rules that all members of the inspection team must abide by, and the third was about the destination of the trip.

The principle of confidentiality is the basis of this operation, and it needs to be implemented after the meeting, and the following rules are also the same.

Captain Peng especially emphasized the principle of "obeying orders and obeying commands". When he said this, he specifically asked Ma Yi'ao and me, and said unceremoniously: "You two, I don't care who you left. Lu Zi came in, but I said ugly words before, if you can't do this, then I will exercise my captain's power as soon as possible. So if you can't stand it, there is still time to leave now..."

Ma Yi'ao and I naturally expressed our attitude and expressed that we would follow his leadership.

Of course, this is just a word of mouth. If Captain Peng asks us to die, we will never be able to resolutely carry it out.

After talking a lot, Captain Peng finally told us the destination of this trip.

The ridge line of Sare Kol Ridge, the area around the Uzbeli Mountain Pass.

Hearing this name, I was almost at a loss, because I had never heard of this place name before, and after listening to Captain Peng’s explanation, I realized that it was the border area between my country and Tajikistan. One of the important passages from the hinterland of the Pamir Plateau to China's KS.

As for the specific location, Captain Peng did not say.

As a matter of fact, only a few high-level members of the Tianji Department know the specific location of the White Tiger Secret Realm, and in our investigation team, only Captain Peng and Kunlun expert Zhang Jie know it. As for the others, they only got a general idea after the meeting. .

But even so, the goal is much smaller.

After all, Kunlun, known as Kunlunxu, China's first sacred mountain, mountain of ancestors, Kunlun hill or Yushan, is a large mountain system in central Asia and the backbone of mountain systems in western my country.

The mountain range starts from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, traverses between XJ and XZ, and extends to the territory of Qinghai. The total length is 50 kilometers. , so even if you know that the White Tiger Secret Realm is in Kunlun, it is absolutely impossible to find it.

And even if you know that it is in the Uzbeli Mountain Pass area, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack if you want to find the specific location.

Even so, Captain Peng was still very cautious and directly announced the principles of information control and confidentiality.

Ma Yi'ao and I looked at each other, and we both felt that the higher authorities attached great importance to this scientific expedition.

After the meeting, Captain Peng, Inspector Xie, and Captain Huang, the military leader, still have some things to discuss, so let's adjourn the meeting first.

When Tang Dao came out, the man named Xia Longfei stopped him immediately. The two chatted in a low voice for a while, and then went to another room to talk. I saw Tang Dao's attitude towards Xia Longfei was pretty good. We know each other, and they are quite familiar.

Ma Yi'ao approached Zhang Jie, the general counsel, and said, "Mr. Zhang, when you were at Yanda University, I listened to your great lecture on the national territory theory of the medieval Silk Road. It was quite exciting."

Teacher Zhang was wearing a pair of glasses. She raised the frame and said with some doubts: "Are you... a student of Yanda University?"

Ma Yi'ao shook his head, and said no, I'm from Mizuki, but occasionally I go around taking classes.

Ma Yi'ao and I are folk masters, so Mr. Zhang didn't care at first, and didn't even pay attention to us. Now that Ma Yi'ao revealed his academic background, he immediately became more cordial.

But she didn't listen or believe, but asked which class Ma Yi'ao was in, and then asked who his tutor and department head were, and then confronted him with words that I couldn't understand at all, and these Ma Yi'ao One Ao can answer one by one fluently.

After saying this, Teacher Zhang Jie finally believed it, and patted Ma Yi'ao's shoulder and said, "Young man, the next investigation, safety and security, you bother a lot."

Ma Yi'ao nodded, saying that you are being polite. By the way, do you know what it means to be in the Eightfold Cold Realm of Hell?

When Teacher Zhang Jie heard this, she immediately became vigilant, saying, why are you asking this?

Ma Yi'ao smiled, and said that I heard that the White Tiger Secret Realm is on the edge of the eightfold cold realm of hell. I want to know more about it, so that I won't be too late to deal with it——You are an expert in ancient mythology and Kunlun, can you chat with us? chat?

Teacher Zhang Jie was very kind at first, but after hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, and said very seriously: "Let's talk about this matter when we get to the place."

After speaking, she left in a hurry without even saying hello.

Ma Yi'ao and I went back to the room, and I asked in a low voice, "What is the eightfold cold realm of hell? Why are Tang Dao and this teacher Zhang Jie so pale when they talk about it?"

Ma Yi'ao said: "I've asked someone before, but I haven't replied, and my master doesn't know, but one thing is for sure, that thing should be quite scary. Teacher Zhang doesn't want to say it, because he is afraid that it will reveal the morale of the army. Unstable, we, or others will retreat, so we don't want to talk more."

I said but we are still going there after all, so secretive, but a bit of a mystery, everyone is full of doubts, how can we work together?
Ma Yi'ao shook his head, saying that I don't know, let's read it later—by the way, have you finished writing your suicide note?

I laughed immediately, and said to write a few, people like us with their heads hanging on their waistbands, when do we need this?
Ma Yi'ao patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's better to write one."
