Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Lantian sat quietly on the slightly old wooden chair in the room, his back straight, his hands naturally placed on his knees, his face as calm as water, only a hint of alertness was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

She seemed to be listening to the conversation between Wang Jinsong and Xiao Li casually, but in fact she was carefully considering every word in her heart.

She was thinking about how to reveal the suspicious connection between Liu Jun, Xia Jun and Song Xiang without leaving any trace.

She raised her eyes slightly, and her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Xiao Li. She said in a calm and natural voice:

"I occasionally see Liu Jun, Xia Jun, and Song Xiang together in the village. They look suspicious and I don't know what they are whispering about. But it sounds like they are all related to the black market. I also heard him mention some organization, but I'm not sure. I have seen them several times in remote corners of the village carrying packages on their backs. The shape of the packages doesn't look ordinary."

After saying that, Lantian's eyes remained indifferent, as if he was just chatting casually.

But her heart was not calm, she was secretly watching Xiao Li's reaction.

Xiao Li frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and thought flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously glanced at Wang Jinsong, then turned his gaze back to Lantian, as if trying to find more information from her expression.

At this time, Wang Jinsong had already heard clearly what Lantian said. He stood beside Riemann with an upright posture and a serious and focused expression.

He folded his hands over his chest, nodded slightly, and motioned Lantian to continue.

Lantian looked encouraged by Wang Jinsong and continued:

"One time, I saw them arguing in the woods outside the village. Xia Jun and Song Xiang looked panicked, while Liu Jun had a fierce look on his face, as if threatening them. This seemed very strange to me. We were all from the same village, so how could this happen?"

As she spoke, she gently fiddled with the corner of her clothes. This subtle movement revealed a hint of nervousness in her heart.

After all, as an educated youth, telling these gossips, especially about his enemy, was seen by others as a bit of a frame-up.

Therefore, Lantian made himself look a little uneasy, eager to express that he was not wrongly accusing anyone. This was a normal reaction.

At this time, the midday sun was already setting, and the bitter winter wind was swirling and whistling through the yard, making the windows rattle, as if urging something.

Wang Jinsong turned around and walked Li Man from the yard into the room. Li Man was in poor health and had already fallen asleep.

His movements were gentle and careful, his eyes filled with concern.

Lantian followed him into the room and together with Wang Jinsong lifted Riemann onto the bed.

After leaving the house, there was a bit more scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Lantian.

Lantian noticed that Xiao Li looked thoughtful and knew that he had listened to her words silently.

She slowly lowered her eyes and said no more.

She thought silently in her heart that at this moment, the key clue had already been revealed, and saying more might arouse suspicion.

Next, we can only wait for Wang Jinsong and Xiao Li to conduct in-depth investigations with their professional abilities, and let the truth gradually emerge like a stone under the water in subsequent actions.

The sun had already set at noon, the coolness was slowly rising, and there was a hint of chill in the wind.

Lantian couldn't help but tighten his clothes slightly. The chill came not only from the weather outside, but also from the hidden dangerous atmosphere in the village. The whole village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, which was unsettling.

She secretly made up her mind to secretly assist Wang Jinsong and Xiao Li to completely eliminate this danger and restore Liujia Village to its former peace.

At this time, Liu Jun was hiding alone in a stronghold covered by dense vegetation in the back mountain of Liujia Village.

The light inside the stronghold was dim, and there was a damp and oppressive atmosphere all around.

In this small, cramped, dimly lit space filled with a rotten smell, Liu Jun's figure swayed back and forth like a trapped beast.

His footsteps were quick and heavy, and with every step he took, the dust that was raised seemed to carry the torment and anxiety deep in his heart.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slowly slid down his temples, and his brows were tightly locked into a deep "川" character, revealing his extremely tangled mood at the moment.

For him, taking the path of black market transactions was a desperate and risky move.

Deep down in his heart, he had an instinctive resistance to this kind of behavior that was full of unknown risks and uncertainties.

After all, he is a spy, and it is better to avoid being noticed as much as possible.

A penny can make a hero fall. What can he do without money?

The black market is a dark world that exists on the edge of the law, full of deception and the law of the jungle. Anyone who steps into it feels like they are dancing with the devil.

This was especially true of the Kingdom of China during this period.

However, the organization's funds have been completely spent, and so far, the power plant has not been damaged at all.

When Ma Pingyuan is transferred here, he will definitely create chaos again.

Otherwise, even if he captured Ma Pingyuan, he would not be able to take advantage of the chaos to transport him back to the island country from the sea.

The increasing shortage of money and supplies was like a shaky sword of Damocles hanging over his head, pressing him relentlessly at all times.

The ever-decreasing funding figure, like a countdown clock, buzzed in his mind, making him unable to sleep or eat.

In order to raise enough funds to maintain their series of carefully planned, intricate and dangerous secret activities in Liujia Village, he could only grit his teeth, bite the bullet, and reluctantly embark on this precarious black market journey.

It happened that at this time, Xia Jun and Song Xiang, two young people who showed an extreme desire for money and could not resist the temptation in difficult situations, became pawns in his hands. He took advantage of the situation and pushed them to the forefront of black market transactions, letting the two of them come forward to do those shady activities.

At the beginning, he always took Xia Jun to the black market. Every time he set foot in the black market, Liu Jun felt that the tense and suffocating atmosphere was like an invisible net woven by darkness and fear, wrapping him tightly and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The places where transactions take place are often some remote corners or abandoned warehouses, and the air is filled with a pungent stench of decay.

When he confronted his trading partner, his eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion. Every subtle movement and every whispered word might contain hidden secrets.

His heart was always in his throat, like a fragile wind chime that would tremble violently at the slightest disturbance.

He knew very well that in this dangerous game, the slightest carelessness could trigger the deadly mechanism hidden in the dark.

Those enemies hiding in the dark may be greedy bad elements or law enforcement officers who are secretly monitoring him, especially him, and they must not be exposed.

Therefore, he always felt that danger could come at any time like a surging, overwhelming tide that would completely drown him and leave him with no chance of recovery.

But the situation was so urgent that he was like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation. He had no other choice but to continue struggling in this dark abyss.

What made him even more upset and uneasy was that his right-hand man, Liu Jianjun, had not shown up for a long time at this most critical moment that determined success or failure. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, with no news at all.

Ever since the last time he asked Liu Jianjun to meet Cilangjun in the hidden and eerie dense forest on the mountain, he had completely lost contact with him, just like a kite with a broken string.

At the beginning, he still had a glimmer of hope and kept comforting himself in his heart, thinking that perhaps Liu Jianjun encountered some minor troubles on the way and delayed his trip.

Or maybe he is hiding temporarily to avoid possible pursuit, and will return safely sooner or later.

However, as so much time passed and the days went by, there was still no trace of Liu Jianjun. His heart gradually sank to the bottom and he no longer held any hope.

All kinds of terrible thoughts involuntarily emerged in his mind, and he felt that Liu Jianjun was most likely arrested by the Public Security Bureau.

After all, the activities they engage in are inherently dangerous, like walking in a minefield, and a single carelessness could trigger a disaster.

But he secretly comforted himself in his heart that Liu Jianjun probably did not give him away, otherwise, he would probably have been imprisoned long ago.

Now, faced with this difficult situation, the remaining tasks can only be completed by him alone.

He felt unprecedented pressure, which was like a heavy rock, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Liu Jun knew very well that in such a complicated and dangerous mission, now that he had lost his right-hand man Liu Jianjun, many of the plans that had been carefully planned and linked together were like precision instruments that had lost key gears and could no longer operate smoothly.

His heart was eroded by endless darkness, and the anxiety was like a surging tide, surging towards him wave after wave, completely drowning him.

He was like a poor and helpless ant, trapped on a blazing hot pot, surrounded by the boiling bottom, without a trace of coolness or comfort.

Just as he was in this suffocatingly cramped stronghold, with his brow furrowed and deep in thought, his whole body shrouded in sorrow, a slight sound that seemed particularly abrupt in the silent environment broke the oppressive silence.

The sound was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly arousing Liu Jun's vigilance.

Liu Jun suddenly raised his head, with a hint of panic and tension in his eyes.

Only then did he realize that the emergency receiving device, which he had always carried carefully on his body and regarded as important as his life, suddenly rang without any warning.

The sharp and rapid ringing sound echoed in this small space, it was the countdown clock of death.

His face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood, and the blood solidified in his veins at this moment.

You know, this emergency communicator is not an ordinary communication tool. It is like a silent guardian on weekdays and usually does not make any sound.

It will only be activated in the most urgent moments, when it comes to life and death.

Or there is extremely urgent and pressing intelligence that needs to be transmitted, and that intelligence may be related to the success or failure of the entire mission, or the life or death of many people.

Or the user will use this last straw when he is in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies, his life is seriously threatened, and there is no possibility of escape.

His hands began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

In a panic, he hurriedly took out the communicator from his pocket.

The movement seemed a little clumsy due to nervousness. There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But he still suppressed the waves in his heart and concentrated on recording the flashing band on the communicator. That was his only ray of hope in this dark abyss.

At the same time, in the quiet little courtyard, Lantian was standing there quietly.

Her eyes flickered slightly, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, revealing a subtle depth and wisdom.

She knew clearly that Wang Jinsong and Xiao Li had not left yet.

This sudden situation made her realize that the situation had become more complicated and subtle.

She secretly weighed the pros and cons in her heart and thought about how to deal with it.

Lantian sighed helplessly, with a forced smile on his face, and had to invite them to stay for dinner.

Her voice sounded calm, but inside she was turbulent. Wang Jinsong had already been considering staying to observe further, but upon hearing Lantian's invitation, he and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, and then they both readily paid two yuan each for the meal.

The action was quick and decisive, without any hesitation. It seemed that they were just ordinary visitors who came to enjoy a home-cooked meal, rather than being in the tense atmosphere of investigation and being investigated with undercurrents and dangers everywhere.

Lantian sighed secretly in his heart, his heart full of helplessness and emotion.

This person has not yet been ruled out as a suspect, but what can be done?

Well, let’s just eat and deal with the current situation first.

She turned silently and walked towards the kitchen to prepare cooking. Her back looked a little lonely and desolate.

At this time, Wang Jinsong took advantage of Lantian's busyness in the kitchen and began to carefully check her house.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He did not miss any corner, carefully examined every gap, and gently turned over every object to check.

However, after an inspection, nothing suspicious was found. It was just an ordinary farmer's house, simple and rustic, with no signs of hiding any secrets.

Lantian was concentrating on cutting vegetables on the stove, the knife in her hand rising and falling rhythmically, and the vegetables on the chopping board gradually became uniform shapes under her knife.

Xiao Li was helping to put firewood under the stove and add fuel to the fire. While adding firewood into the stove, he would look up and glance at Lantian from time to time.

There was a look of vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes, as if he wanted to find some clues from Lantian's every move.

While cutting vegetables, Lantian lowered his eyes secretly, but his mind drifted away involuntarily, staring at Liu Jun closely.

She secretly wondered in her heart, what news had Liu Jun received?

Is there any new conspiracy?

She was well aware of Liu Jun's danger and cunningness, and her heart was in her throat.

At this moment, in that hidden stronghold, Liu Jun's heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and his heart was beating fast in panic.

Ever since he sneaked into the Flower Country, he has experienced countless storms and dangers and has already developed a tough heart. Ordinary storms can hardly move him.

But now, he was as nervous as a novice.

He is a well-trained and experienced spy.

In previous missions, he had faced countless life-and-death tests.

For him, the threat of death is nothing. He can always respond calmly and resolve the crisis skillfully.

However, at this moment his emergency communicator rang without any warning.

The sharp ringing sounded particularly harsh in the silent space.

He knew clearly that this communicator would only be activated in extremely urgent matters that concerned life and death.

His hands trembled slightly as he picked up the communicator. Beads of sweat covered his forehead, and there was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.

He translated the frequency band as quickly as possible. The moment he saw the content of the message, his eyes instantly became sharp and cold, like stars in a cold night, flashing with icy light.

News came from the headquarters that Ma Pingyuan will arrive in Dongyuan City soon.

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge wave of shock in Liu Jun's originally calm heart.

Ma Pingyuan, who has long been listed as the most important person on the list of their enemy spy organization, holds a crucial position. Every piece of news and every movement of his may affect the layout and direction of the entire organization he has established in Liujia Village.

His arrival must indicate that a major action is about to begin.

And this is exactly Liu Jun's ultimate goal of lurking here.

Liu Jun knew very well that a battle that would determine his fate had begun.

He must give his all and not slack off in the slightest.
