Chapter 1687 The Real Trouble

The black Gulfstream G500 made a deafening roar, tearing through the clouds.

Sleipnir, Principal Angers's private plane, but in recent years, the person who has taken it the most has become someone else.

Back on the Sleipnir, Lin Nian was like going home, and sat down on his favorite sofa seat. Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Caesar sat on the reclining seats, looking at the clouds passing by the porthole with different expressions.

The red seal of the file bag placed on the sofa was stuck with "SS", which meant that the files in it were top secret.

As the leader of the team, Caesar took the file bag from the briefcase handcuffed to the hand of the director of the executive department before boarding the plane. According to regulations, they must unseal it when the Gulfstream takes off and enters the level flight process.

Now the Gulfstream has just taken off from Chicago International Airport, and the take-off time is 9 am. As expected, Lu Mingfei still overslept. Although Lin Nian and Chu Zihang kicked open his door, it took a long time to pack the luggage temporarily.

Even though Lu Mingfei kept explaining that he planned to take a nap last night before packing his luggage, it was obvious that his plan to take a nap was somewhat different from what he actually did.

Everyone was used to Lu Mingfei's failures, but they hoped that he would only fail at the last moment before departure. If something went wrong after arriving in Japan, it would be fatal.

"What is the Japanese branch like? I heard from the brothers in the student union that it seemed to be a 'tiger and wolf land'. When they learned that I was going to the Japanese branch to perform a mission, they looked at me as if they were watching a funeral." Caesar sat in a chair, leaning on his thighs with his elbows and slightly bending over to look at Lin Nian who was sitting on the sofa not far away.

"It's a place where the strong are respected." Lin Nian summed up the Japanese branch in his eyes very concisely, "If you have strength, then they will respect you. If you are a weak egg, they will bully you without hesitation and send you home."

"It seems that we can get along well there." Caesar is always so confident.

"The biggest problem is not the Japanese branch. They are our colleagues. What we really care about is a local mixed-race force in Japan that is opposed to the Japanese branch. It is called the Demon Clan. They are the old enemy of the Japanese branch. They are full of killers who have abandoned morality and humanity. Dangerous mixed-races are just commonplace for them. They will even actively absorb them to strengthen themselves." Lin Nian directly pointed out the real enemy of this trip to Japan. He didn't want Caesar and his team to be taken lightly and caught off guard by the Demon Clan.

"I heard that you have met the Demon Clan? What do you think of them?" Chu Zihang, holding the Murasame scabbard, opened his eyes in his seat.

"They are very difficult to deal with, just like rats in the sewers and cockroaches in the kitchen. You can kill them easily, but there are always more of them hiding in corners that are hard for you to find, and they are ready to jump out and disgust you at any time." Lin Nian said, "I may not have told you, right? The first time I went to Japan, the Ghost Clan stuffed a time bomb into my friend's house and killed my friend's sister, and left a message telling me that it was a gift for me."

Caesar and Chu Zihang subconsciously looked up at Lin Nian. They saw indifference on that face, which was a mask covering the hatred and anger from the bottom of his heart. Presumably, just mentioning the three words "Ghost Clan" can make the man on the sofa want to kill.

"Kill them if you see them, don't hold back, unless there is a need to force a confession. Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the best way to deal with them." Lin Nian said slowly, "The decision-makers of the Japanese branch responded to those people with a policy of laissez-faire and appeasement. Now the tiger has been raised to harm them. The previous experience is a lesson for the future. If the Japanese branch is determined to completely eradicate the fierce ghosts this time, then I will become their helper. This is something independent of the mission and it is also my private matter."

Caesar was silent. He could hear that Lin Nian was taking precautions. After arriving in Japan, Lin Nian would inevitably leave the group to take revenge.

He knew Lin Nian's character too well. If the time bomb was stuffed in Lin Nian's room, then Lin Nian would not be so resentful. But what should not be done is that the decision-makers of the group called the fierce ghosts stuffed the bomb in the home of Lin Nian's friend.

From the moment the bomb exploded, Lin Nian and the group called the fierce ghosts were already in a situation of life and death.

When Caesar thought of this, he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly. He and Lin Nian had become an undying enemy. He could only wish those guys good luck. Lin Nian was no longer the same as when he first came to Japan. He couldn't imagine how efficient and terrifying a killing machine he would become if he really went crazy and wanted to wipe out an organization.

To be honest, he was looking forward to Lin Nian's performance after landing in Japan. This was not a dragon-slaying game, but a private revenge killing game. Perhaps he would have a chance to see a Lin Nian who was completely beyond his imagination.

The angle of the Gulfstream flight gradually approached parallel to the ground. The noise remained, but the vibration was greatly reduced. A pleasant reminder sounded in the broadcast voice, indicating that the plane had entered the level flight stage and could unbuckle the seat belts and use the bathroom.

Chu Zihang and Caesar unbuckled their seat belts almost at the same time and sat down in front of the sofa. Lu Mingfei was sleeping in the chair and fainted. None of the other three woke him up, probably because they thought it was unnecessary.

The three people looked at each other while guarding the documents on the sofa. The plane will arrive in Japan in 6 hours. The landing time will be around 5 o'clock in the morning in Japan. They need to read and burn this document within these 6 hours. documents.

Lin Nian picked up the document, thought for a while, put it down, turned it around and handed it to Caesar, which was regarded as a sign of respect for the team leader.

Caesar raised his eyebrows, took another look at Lin Nian, took the file, opened the seal, and poured out a black and white photo, a memory chip, a Russian document with translation, and a USB flash drive.

The black-and-white photo shows a majestic giant icebreaker with a white hull and a black bridge, and a red five-star inlaid on the bow.

The Russian information is the archives of this ship. From the archives, it seems that this meritorious battleship "Lenin" is the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker and belongs to the Soviet Northern Fleet. During its service, it received many commendations and was full of honors, but after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it quietly disappeared from the battleship sequence of the Northern Fleet. Its file was abruptly discontinued on December 25, 1991, and the Northern Fleet did not trace its whereabouts. It was as if someone had erased this giant steel ship from the world with an eraser.

Caesar inserted the black chip into the card reading slot of the PAD on the table, and Norma's voice came from the PAD:

"Caesar Gattuso, your mission this time is to investigate the wreckage of the former Soviet icebreaker 'Lenin'. The meritorious icebreaker 'Lenin' is known as the red behemoth of the polar regions and is the world's first so-called 'all-ocean icebreaker'. 's polar icebreaker, because there was no ice sea that it could not reach. On the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it carried out a secret voyage to Japanese waters, disobeying the orders of the Northern Fleet. When it was close to Japan's territorial waters, it sent out a distress call. But the Lenin sank into the deep sea before the Japanese Self-Defense Force's rescue ship arrived. The Japanese branch will support your actions and the chip will be automatically formatted in three seconds. good luck."

Everyone present subconsciously counted three seconds silently at the same time. After three seconds, the pad displayed "Memory card cannot be recognized."

"Lenin? I thought what we were looking for was a dragon egg." Caesar pressed his fingers on the black-and-white photo and dragged it in front of him. He frowned slightly at the pixelated silhouette of the ship, which was blurred to the point of being pitiful. "It seems like this This mission hides secrets we don’t know.”

"Our mission is indeed to blow up dragon embryos." Chu Zihang said, "But the icebreaker is mentioned in the document. According to the intelligence reading, can we think that this ship was destroyed in December 1991? During the secret voyage on the 25th, some terrible secret was discovered, and in the end he was killed by this secret. No one on the ship was spared, and even the icebreaker itself fell to the bottom of the sea. "

"Dragon embryos were discovered in Jiyuan, Japan, and the information Norma gave us was about this icebreaker. It's hard not to associate the two." Chu Zihang reasoned reasonably, "What do you think, Lin Nian?"

He asked Lin Nian casually, but when he looked up, he found that Lin Nian had been staring at the icebreaker in the black and white photo for some time. It seemed that his whole body was attracted by the nuclear powered ship in the photo, and he completely ignored Kai. What were Sa and Chu Zihang talking about.

"Lin Nian?" Caesar snapped his fingers in front of Lin Nian. The moment the snap was heard, Lin Nian grabbed his fingers. Then he reacted before letting go and looking up at the two people in front of him. , "Well I'm fine."

"Is this how Lu Mingfei reacted when he saw the photo of his ex-girlfriend? Do you still want to say that you are fine?" Caesar handed the black and white photo of the icebreaker to Lin Nian, "Do you know this ship?"

"I don't know, this is my first time seeing you." Lin Nian picked up the photo and stared at every detail of the boat silhouette.

Yes, he searched his memory, and there was no trace of this ship in his brain's inventory. This was the first time he saw this ship, whether on the Internet or in reality.

It sounds like he was a bit crazy. For some reason, the first moment he saw the ship, he had an impulse from the bottom of his heart - he wanted to get on the ship.

Not getting on the ship in that sense, but getting on the ship in the traditional sense. He wanted to get in front of the ship and take a good look at it, touch its hull, deck and the steel wrapped around it. He couldn't wait to get on the ship. The urge and desire to get on board the ship.

It was this weird feeling that made Lin Nian get goosebumps all over his body, and he felt like he was itching but couldn't scratch it.

"If the intelligence is not wrong, then we will be able to see it when we blow up the dragon eggs after diving." Chu Zihang looked up from reading the Russian document and said, "But what I am more curious about is that Japan The branch only knows that there is a dragon egg on the bottom of the sea, but the headquarters knows that there is a ship named Lenin sleeping there - so what is the source of this information? "

"Principal." Lin Nian said, "During the previous meeting in Walter Alheim, I heard the deputy director of the Equipment Department say that this ship named Lenin has been entrusted by the principal to search for it. This time Japan found the opportunity to connect the Lenin with it. "

"Our principal has always been very mysterious. His more than 130 years have always left him with many unknown secrets." Caesar said with the tiger's mouth slightly against his chin.

"There is another USB flash drive." Chu Zihang picked up the USB flash drive, and Lin Nian took it and connected it to the PAD with an OTG cable. He searched the files in the USB flash drive and found a series of photos marked with timestamps. The preview of the photos looked like a paparazzi's sneak shot. Can such things really appear in the files of SS-level tasks?

When Lin Nian clicked on one of the photos and saw the content of the photo, Caesar and Chu Zihang's pupils shrank into needle points. They subconsciously looked up at Lin Nian, and they found that Lin Nian was expressionless at the moment, but there was clearly a flame burning silently in his pupils.

The content of the photo was no longer about the Lenin and the dragon egg. It was a street photo. The photographer was hiding in the corner of the street and used a short-focus lens, so the picture was a little blurry.

The photo was taken on a branch road in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. The street is no longer as prosperous and commercial as the main road of Shinsaibashi. It seems to be a forgotten gap in the modern city. From these gaps, the colorful light of neon signs always grows. The sunset in the distance of the narrow street is yellow and red, but the sunset can't illuminate the street at all, because there is still a thick layer of black clouds on it.

The lens of the photo focuses on a Maybach parked in front of a takoyaki restaurant on the roadside. The driver wearing white gloves and a hat is leaning over to open the door for a beautiful woman in a kimono. On the left and right of the Maybach, the gangster bodyguards with the "ghost" badge on their chests lined up along the roadside and bowed to the back of the woman. In the back seat of the Maybach, an old man wearing a noble mask sat inside with a scepter in his hand, and his head was slightly lowered as if to welcome the woman in the car.

"Damn it." Chu Zihang whispered.

The photos on the PAD slowly scrolled, each of which was a paparazzi's candid shot. The protagonist of the photo was the beautiful woman. She sometimes wore a gorgeous kimono, sometimes changed into a black haori, and sometimes appeared in casual clothes. And the places where she appeared were also numerous: the center of the intersection in Shibuya at night, the tower with red leaves blooming in Kiyomizu Temple, and the seaside where the blue sky and water of Enoshima merged. It seemed that her figure was everywhere in Japan, as if she was on a journey with no end.

The only thing that remained unchanged in these photos was the people around this woman, those who always surrounded those men wearing the "ghost" badges. This group of fierce gangsters always knelt or bowed their heads beside her in a respectful manner, and they didn't even dare to look up and look at her face. From the photos, the group of thugs accompanying her were sweating and their expressions were tense, as if they were worshiping ghosts and gods!

Chu Zihang and Caesar recognized the woman in the photo, because the photo captured each other's profile. With dark makeup on, she was no longer the intimate big sister in the psychology department of Kassel College. Her long black hair was scattered behind the gorgeous kimono like a waterfall, and the black eyeliner and lip gloss made her beautiful face so sharp and deadly.

"Lin Nian?" Chu Zihang said.

"I'm fine." Lin Nian said lightly.

For the last photo, his finger was fixed on the PAD. It was a satellite photo, a corner of the Japanese sea taken from a bird's-eye view, where a warship was sinking with flames of explosion, and on the other side of the sea, a woman wearing a black sleeve with the word "ghost" printed on it stood on a small boat. She held a long sword in her hand, and under the moonlight, she was as cold as a ghost on the sea.

"I now believe that the fierce ghosts are our biggest trouble." Caesar whispered.
