Chapter C197
You Wen and Gao De immediately pulled Zhang Chun back.
Before Zhang Chun even landed on the ground, that fellow successfully self-destructed!
"Holy shit, that was really dangerous." Zhang Chun was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
Zhang Chun turned his head to look at Xin Jingcilang who was captured by Bu Ping, and smiled, so it was better to defeat him with one strike, no matter how scheming you were, in front of the absolute power, you were nothing.
The headquarter sent Julius as head of the front line. The boss\' intention was simple, as long as enough information was found out from Xin Jingcilang\'s mouth, then the assassination association in the entire Japan would be completely eradicated, regardless of the cost!
However, Xin Jingcilang was also a tough nut to crack, and never cooperated with his work. It seemed that he would have to wait a long time for sufficient information to be obtained. The only immediate reward was the lost Miaomiao.
This way was also good. Zhang Chun\'s group could still rest for a bit.
After all, if they were to fight again, it would be a huge battle.
However, things did not go as Zhang Chun had planned. The headquarters had given him another mission, a search mission.
Zhang Chun\'s group was heading towards a castle in the Hokkaido.
According to the analysis of the informants, the mission this time was only to completely solve the mystery of the《 ladycat diagram》 and the book of ninja arts.
The approaching winter was already completely covered with snow, and the desolate wilderness was completely covered with snow. A cold wind blew, causing everyone to unconsciously wrap themselves in a thick winter robe.
Their target this time was a castle, which was said to be the residence of a noble hidden in the world. Furthermore, this noble was inextricably linked to the ninja during the war nation of the Japan. The headquarters also hoped that this would allow them to unravel the mysteries behind the ninja arts manual.
After all, the assassination association had already displayed such a powerful reserve ability, so the World Tree had to think of a way to increase it.
They drove into the wasteland. The scenery had become completely single, and the vegetation could no longer be seen on the snowy plains. Only some mountains could be vaguely seen on the horizon in the distance. However, everyone was still heading north.
"The New Gu Jian family is a very special group of people. As far as we know, their ancestors long ago possessed unparalleled wealth, and even under the circumstances of the militarism of the Japan, they were still able to maintain their stability. "
"Bu Ping began to introduce the hermit noble that they were going to visit this time. I heard that their industry spans the entire Japan and Europe, but they are very low-key and won\'t appear in front of the screen. "
All the mysterious families must have ghosts.
"According to what you said, they are so rich. Why would they live in such a desolate place?" Juve asked curiously, "And during the war period in Japan, wasn\'t the Hokkaido a place to exiled prisoners? How could an illustrious family choose to live here? "
"Rumor has it that they had to stay away from the crowd because of some unnatural disaster. These are all nonsense, but there must be some truths mixed in with the myths. "
Zhang Chun frowned, he never thought that this matter would be so complicated.
"We\'re almost there. It\'s that castle." Bu Ping pointed to a castle on the horizon far away from them.
If he did not personally see it, Bu Ping would absolutely not believe that such a towering ancient fortress could exist in such a desolate and remote place.
As they got closer, they were able to see the design of the castle clearly. The Russian-styled castle, its thick outer walls, and three towers for defense.
It could be seen that this place was often taken care of. Even though the surroundings were already covered in snow, there was not a single snowflake on the castle\'s surface.
The bus approached the castle, but the closer it got, the more uncomfortable it felt. For some reason, this majestic building no longer gave off an unpleasant atmosphere, as if it were a prison.
The feeling it gave was that it was a prison that was cut off from the rest of the world.
"To be honest, the reason I came here last time was also for boss\'s investigation of the《 ladycat diagram s》. Oh, just before I met you, Zhang Chun. "
The vehicle circled around the entrance of the castle before finally seeing the tightly shut door. It would be inappropriate to say the door, as this door was similar to an ordinary family\'s house, and did not match up at all with this majestic castle.
Zhang Chun and the rest could only park outside and press the doorbell.
After a long time, an old servant came out of a small room at the side of the castle.
The old servant\'s body was extremely weak, and he felt as if he would never be able to survive in such a harsh environment.
The old servant trembled as he opened a small gap in the fence, and looked at Zhang Chun and the rest cautiously, "Who is it?"
Bu Ping probed, "It\'s me, we met the last time."
The old servant\'s expression changed, looking quite frightened, "What are you doing here again?" We didn\'t find anything last time. "
Zhang Chun turned his head to look at Bu Ping, "What did you do last time?
Zhang Chun specifically used Chinese this time to prevent the Japanese old man from understanding his words.
Bu Ping was also depressed, "Last time, I was only investigating in a normal manner, and didn\'t do anything."
Bu Ping stepped forward, "This old man, go inform your master that we have come to visit again. Our boss has already informed your master. "
The old servant locked the door and went back to the castle to report to his master.
It seemed that this family was indeed very careful. They didn\'t know that there was a need to be so cautious in this wilderness.
After a few minutes, the old servant finally returned and opened the door, allowing Zhang Chun and the other three to enter.
He didn\'t expect that from the outside, he would seem to be cleaning a lot. There wasn\'t even snow. But this vestibule seemed to have been abandoned for quite a long time. The ground was covered with snow, and there were no plants here.
In addition, a lot of the sculptures had fallen off. For nobles, this was not something they should do.
It seemed that this place was indeed filled with a strange atmosphere.
"Are there very few servants here?" Zhang Chun\'s hair stood on end due to the atmosphere, but he still tried to beat around the bush.
"About a hundred, but most of them are in their rooms now." The old servant reported truthfully.
"So many, why are we looking for so many servants?" Zhang Chun was curious.
"Our masters are good, and they don\'t like us working in this environment for long periods of time, so they recruit two or three people for each job, taking turns."
Zhang Chun touched his chin. This kind of thing, on the other hand, was that the owner of the house only allowed the servants a very limited amount of time to observe the fortress.
Could it be that there was some kind of secret here that caused the family\'s owner to be extremely cautious?
