Start a mysterious island

On the edge of the city, a bus quietly stopped by the roadside.

Two figures got off the bus. They looked at the sunset that was about to be covered by dark clouds, and their faces showed worried expressions.

"Manager Qin, it's going to get dark soon, and it's very likely to rain in this weather." The bus driver said.

"Alas..." Qin Zhi sighed slowly after hearing this, "I hope they are safe."

"Huh..."

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the surrounding plants were shaking violently in the wind. The noisy sound did not stop for a moment, floating in the air.

"Manager Qin, it's them, they are back safely...!!!" The bus driver saw a group of people appearing in the distance, and when he saw their appearance clearly, he shouted in surprise.

"Great." The worried expression on Qin Zhi's face disappeared, and now he was eager to know the results of the exploration.

"It's Manager Qin and them." Wu Kui and his group also saw Qin Zhi and the bus driver who had been waiting for a long time. The joy of surviving the disaster made everyone excited.

After a while, when everyone entered the safe zone and stepped on the flat road, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Several beast hunters relaxed their tense nerves and sat on the ground at once, and some even lay directly on the ground.

"Huh..."

"Finally safe."

"I'm so tired."

"I'm going to have a good rest for a while."

Although Qin Zhi was anxious to ask about the exploration results, he was not stupid. Looking at the tired people, he first stepped forward to comfort them, especially the injured Chen Jiaquan.

After Qin Zhi finished comforting the beast hunters, the prospector Master Wang stepped forward with a smile on his face to report today's exploration results.

"There are really spiritual energy veins there, so good..." Qin Zhi said excitedly after hearing the exploration results.

"The company will not treat you unfairly. The celebration banquet has been prepared for everyone. Now we will return immediately."

The smiles on the faces of the originally happy people were restrained when they heard the words.

"Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Qin Zhi's ability to read people's expressions far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he immediately found that the expression of the exotic beast hunter was a little wrong.

Then he felt something in his heart and quickly counted the number of people at the scene.

"Oh no, one person is missing."

The smile on Qin Zhi's face disappeared, and then he asked in a heavy tone, "Why is Mr. Lin not here? What happened?"

"On the way back, we encountered a high-level second-level purple ring snake. Brother Lin covered us..." An exotic beast hunter told Qin Zhi what happened.

"High-level second-level purple ring snake!!!" Qin Zhi was shocked and immediately determined that Lin Li had died.

"..." Everyone at the scene was silent, and the original festive atmosphere disappeared.

"Brother Lin is very powerful and will definitely come back safely." Wu Kui was uneasy in his heart, but he was very determined that Lin Li could come back alive from the wilderness.

Qin Zhi looked at Wu Kui in surprise. He knew that at the beginning, this person had a lot of opinions about Lin Li joining the team, but now he said such a thing.

"Huh..."

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the signs of rain became more obvious.

Qin Zhi wanted to ask everyone to take a bus back to the city at this time, but he couldn't open his mouth.

The bus driver on the side glanced at the exotic beast hunters who had made up their minds and wanted to continue waiting for Lin Li's return here, and raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.

At this time, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that a figure was walking quickly towards the safe zone in the distance.

"Everyone, is that person Brother Lin?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and then turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction pointed by the bus driver's finger.

In the endless wilderness, a young man in camouflage clothes was traveling alone.

"It's really Brother Lin!!!" Everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed, and the dull atmosphere disappeared instantly.

Lin Li came to the safe zone and was surrounded by everyone at once. The exotic beast hunters asked him if he was injured.

"I'm not injured, everyone don't have to worry." Lin Li said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, how did you get rid of the purple ring snake?" someone asked curiously.

It quickly cooled down, how could there be any way to get rid of it... Lin Li muttered to himself, and then responded to everyone casually.

"After you left, the alien beast was injured by my fireball, and its strength dropped sharply. After a few rounds of fighting, it should have known that it could not kill me, so it left."

"Brother Lin, you can fight a high-level second-level alien beast alone and hurt it, and finally be safe and sound. It's really amazing." Many alien beast hunters said admiringly.

"It was just luck." Lin Li said modestly.

After a while, the weather became worse and worse, and everyone got on the bus and began to return to the city.

…………

"Ha~"

A yawning sound came from the black sedan parked on the side of the road.

Gao Qiang had been guarding for a whole day, but he didn't see the bus return. He couldn't help but wonder if the target died in the wilderness.

"Are they back?"

A bus appeared in the rearview mirror of the car, and Gao Qiang, who was yawning, was instantly alert.

He stared at the bus that appeared, and when he saw it enter the park, he opened the door and got out, walked to the tree on the side of the road, and stood on tiptoe to look at the parking lot not far away.

Under Gao Qiang's gaze, after the bus entered the parking lot and stopped steadily, the door opened, and figures got out of the bus one after another, talking and laughing.

"The target is still alive."

When Lin Li appeared, Gao Qiang's face became very serious and he couldn't help but murmured, "He is still alive. Now I can't even think about resting."

In the parking lot, Wu Kui saw Lin Li preparing to leave and asked, "Brother Lin, are you really not going to the celebration banquet with us?"

Lin Li shook his head, "I still have things to deal with, so I won't attend the celebration banquet. You guys have fun..."

"Okay!" Wu Kui nodded, "Then go and do your work, and we will contact you later."

After this experience, the two of them just added each other as friends on the bus and can meet each other at any time afterwards.

Lin Li walked to the parking place. He hadn't seen him for several hours. Many leaves had fallen on the silver-white van.

"Autumn! The season of falling leaves."

Lin Li reached out to sweep away the fallen leaves from the car, then opened the door and got in. After fastening his seat belt, he started the car and left the parking lot.

Regarding the celebration banquet, Lin Li, who liked quietness, didn't want to join in the fun. He happened to check his phone on the way back and saw the message asking for help from Su Yue, so he had an excuse to shirk it.

The cars of other exotic beast hunters are usually off-road vehicles. When the off-road vehicles leave the parking lot one by one and drive quickly on the road, the silver-white bread follows them, which looks very abrupt.

Under the tree on the roadside, Gao Qiang stared at Lin Li's leaving back with an ugly expression, and then he reached out and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

…………

In the yard of a villa, there was a stooped old man with his hands behind his back, looking at the big tree not far away that had fallen leaves blown by the wind.

"Dinglingling..."

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Qin Liuhe, who was thinking about something, stopped his divergent thoughts and reached out to take out his cell phone from his pocket.

When he saw that the caller was Gao Qiang, he frowned.

"Mr. Qin." Gao Qiang greeted respectfully.

"How is the situation?" Qin Liuhe asked.

"The target is still alive." Gao Qiang said in a low tone.

"..." When Qin Liuhe heard this, he stood up straighter and his eyes narrowed.

"Mr. Qin, do you need me to do anything next?"

"You come back first."

"Ah?" Gao Qiang originally thought that Qin Liuhe would continue to arrange for him to monitor the target after learning that the target was still alive. But now that he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You go home and rest first." Qin Liuhe said.

"Yes." Gao Qiang responded before hanging up the phone.

"It's strange. Now that the target is still alive, shouldn't I be allowed to continue to monitor him? What is Mr. Qin thinking?"

Gao Qiang, who was confused, muttered. He thought for a moment and couldn't figure out what Qin Liuhe had planned next.

Then he put this matter aside and drove the car to find his lover whom he hadn't seen for many days.

"Huh..." Qin Liuhe took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"Cao Yi died, and the target came back from the wilderness safe and sound. Is there any connection between the two?"

Qin Liuhe secretly guessed that Cao Yi was killed by Lin Li. As soon as this idea came up, he was immediately rejected.

"With Cao Yi's strength, even if he cannot kill the target, it is not difficult to escape. It should be other reasons that caused him to die in the wilderness."

Qin Liuhe's expression kept changing, and the thoughts in his mind appeared one after another.

After a long time, the sky turned completely dark. Qin Liuhe left the yard and walked towards the study.

…………

"Click."

In the quiet study, Qin Liuhe opened the alloy safe again.

This time he took out a notepad from the alloy safe. After opening it, he could see that there were many phone numbers written on the notepad.

Qin Liuhe came to the desk and sat down, flipped through the notepad, then picked up the phone and called the number on the notepad.

"Dududu..."

It took a long time after the call was placed before the person on the other side answered.

"Old Qin, why are you calling me?"

A deep voice came from the mobile phone. Qin Liuhe greeted the other party for a few words, and then explained his purpose in a concise and concise manner.

"I want to ask you a favor."

"Hey, you guys never ask for help. What kind of trouble have you encountered?"

"Just say whether you want to help or not!"

"It's rare that you ask me for help. With our friendship, I will definitely help you...Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Lend me the spiritual weapon you have in your hand..."

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to deliver the spiritual weapon to you later."

After ending the call, Qin Liuhe turned his head and looked out the window, his eyes falling on the street lamp in the distance.

Cao Yi's death left Qin Liuhe with a knot in his throat. This matter must be investigated clearly in the future.

Killing Lin Li was the first thing to do now. He just borrowed the spiritual weapon from his old friend just to get rid of Lin Li as soon as possible.

"Even if you don't go to the wilderness next, I can kill you quietly."

"Cao Yi, I will investigate your matter clearly and I will not let your death be in vain."

In the quiet study, Qin Liuhe murmured to himself, his cold tone sending chills down the spine.

…………

In Xingfu Garden Community, the elevator door opened. Lin Li walked out of the elevator and came to the door.

Because he had many experiences, he easily found the door key from under the flower pot at the door and opened the door quickly.

"call……"

The wind outside the window became louder and louder, and the trees in the community swayed and shed many leaves.

Lin Li came to Su Yue's house and walked straight to the balcony. On the balcony, he saw clothes of different colors hanging on the balcony.

He raised his hand to collect Su Yue's clothes hanging on the balcony and put them on the sofa in the living room.

After finishing, Lin Li took a photo of the clothes on the sofa and sent it to Su Yue.

"Ding Dong."

In a few seconds, Su Yue, who was in the school, holding a meeting for the autumn sports meeting, saw the message sent by Lin Li, and a smile appeared on her pretty cheeks. She quickly replied.

"Thank you!"

Now the weather outside is getting worse and worse. It will rain soon. If Lin Li didn't help Su Yue collect the clothes, all the clothes on the balcony would be ruined.

"I picked up a lot of snails today. I will give you some in the kitchen later. You can deal with it when you come back."

Lin Li was about to leave, and suddenly remembered that he had picked up a large bucket of snails in the wilderness today, so he told Su Yue.

"Aren't you hunting exotic animals in the wilderness? How do you have time to pick up snails?" Su Yue looked at the message sent by Lin Li and was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"Who said that you can't pick up snails when hunting exotic animals in the wilderness?" Lin Li asked back with a smile.

"Uh..." Su Yue was speechless for a moment, because it was indeed as Lin Li said, there was no rule that you couldn't do other things when hunting exotic animals in the wilderness.

But on second thought, although you can do anything in such a dangerous place, it seems that so far, no exotic animal hunter has picked up snails as leisurely as Lin Li.

"There are plenty of snails in the market. If you want to eat snails, just go to the market and buy them.

The wilderness is so dangerous. You are picking snails leisurely. It is very likely to be dangerous. Don't do this kind of thing in the future."

"I know, but I am not leisurely when picking snails. I have always been vigilant, so you don't have to worry."

Since Su Yue was still in a meeting, it was not easy to chat for a long time, so Lin Li simply chatted with her for a few words and ended the chat.

In the kitchen, Lin Li took out a plastic basin from the cupboard, and then he thought about it, and a large bucket of fresh snails appeared out of thin air.

He filled a basin of snails for Su Yue and put it on the kitchen counter, and then Lin Li left.

"Bang."

The sound of the door closing sounded, and the elevator door opened again.

Lin Li took the elevator downstairs, and soon, the silver-white van drove away from Ping'an Garden Community.

"Buzz."

When Lin Li left, a very subtle tremor sounded in the quiet study.

On the expensive mahogany bookshelf, the plain and simple bronze mirror was trembling.

Then a light golden light appeared on the mirror surface, and then a voice sounded in the study.

"I thought there was a thief in the house, but it turned out to be the owner's friend."
