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 Gusu?" Yang Xiao looked at the quiet road around him and asked in confusion.

Since the flight was forcibly changed to a different destination, the airline compensated each passenger, but Chen Ling did not take the bus they arranged, but took Yang Xiao away directly. At this time, there were no vehicles or pedestrians at the airport gate, only a few taxis or online car-hailing cars waiting on the side, and the dark night was in the distance.

"The bus is too slow." Chen Ling said calmly, "Although we have temporarily delayed [Tianlang], with his strength, it is easy for him to escape... He will catch up with us sooner or later, so every minute and every second is extremely precious now and cannot be wasted."

"There are no planes or high-speed trains at this point. How can we go to Gusu without taking a bus?"

"I'll drive."

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Where can we get a car?"

Chen Ling smiled slightly, he walked straight to the nearest taxi and knocked on the driver's window.

The dozing driver saw someone and immediately rolled down the window. He asked sleepily, "Where are you going?"

"I'll transfer 300,000 yuan to you and lend me the car for two days."

"...What the hell???"

Three minutes later.

Chen Ling fastened her seat belt and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The yellow taxi whizzed out with a roar!

At the desolate airport gate, only the taxi driver was left sitting on the roadside in a daze. Looking at the extra 300,000 yuan balance on the card, his hands were shaking...

After a while, he trembled and made a phone call, mumbling like a dream:

"Mom, I'm rich~!"

...

Buzz——!

The yellow taxi passed the road like lightning.

The whistling wind swept into the car. Yang Xiao shook the window for a long time before it was slowly closed. His hair had been blown into a mess like a chicken coop.

"Three hundred thousand, just borrowing 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 think of it as robbing the rich to help the poor."

Chen Ling said nonchalantly.

Chen Ling's foot pressed lower and lower on the accelerator. The hum of the engine was like the roar of a beast. As the pointer on the dashboard gradually increased, Yang Xiao subconsciously grabbed the door handle tightly.

"Are you speeding?"

"Yes, but the speed camera won't capture us."

"... hacking accounts, robbing money, evading fares, hijacking, seizing cars, speeding... Why do I feel like we are the villains?"

"To be precise, we are cracking down on illegal transactions, earning reasonable commissions, protecting passenger safety, expanding the second-hand car trading market, and... well... speeding is speeding, compared to Jiujun's life, a few tickets are nothing?"

Yang Xiao:...

With Chen Ling's current observation and reaction speed, there will be no safety hazards even if he drives at high speed. He put one hand on the window and the other hand on the steering wheel, speeding on the highway in the dark. At this speed, they can definitely reach Gusu within an hour and a half.

"By the way, what's the situation with that person on the plane?" Yang Xiao asked doubtfully, "I thought the fourteen Shinto you mentioned would only exist in the future."

"No, Shinto is the embodiment of 'professions' in human civilization. They have existed since the birth of human civilization." Chen Ling answered slowly, "For example, Yingfu and Baiqi, they found Shinto in ancient times, and became part of the ancient Shinto collection after their death... So theoretically, there will be Shinto owners in this era, but the number is very small."

Chen Ling took out a flip phone from his pocket and handed it to Yang Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Take a look at the video in the album."

Although Yang Xiao was confused, he still opened the flip phone.

The first thing that caught his eye was a wallpaper of Chen Ling's scissor hand selfie, and Yang Xiao's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Do you usually like to use selfies as wallpaper?"

"...No, it was just an accident."

Yang Xiao opened the album, and there was only one video in it. The picture was a foreign casino, and a figure in a flowered shirt won a bet against another man. The next moment, the man began to age visibly, as if his life was taken away by something.

If it were before, Yang Xiao would definitely think that this video was processed, but after he personally experienced some things, his perception has changed.

"Is the person in the video also a Shinto owner?"

"Yes." Chen Ling said thoughtfully, "As I said, Shinto is the embodiment of 'profession'. The characteristics of 'profession' are different in different eras, so perhaps in our era, there are also Shinto paths belonging to this era...

But under the rapid development of material civilization, the spiritual civilization brought by 'profession' is becoming increasingly flat, and people are losing their professional spirit, or professional beliefs, and are becoming mechanized tools bit by bit... Such spiritual civilization cannot be recognized by Shinto, so there are very few Shinto owners in this era.

On the contrary, when the red star passed and human material civilization began to decline, spiritual civilization was gradually rebuilt in the disaster, so in the era of the nine realms, there were far more Shinto owners than now."

Yang Xiao thought seriously for a long time and roughly understood Chen Ling's thoughts,

"According to what you said, the [Tianlang] 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."
