Chapter 81: Boom! Recently, there have been several groups of unidentified people...
Chapter 81 Boom again!
Yan Jiuru rode his bicycle like a Hot Wheels to the office.
"Oh, you look so happy!" Yan Jiuru was punched on the stairs.
We've all been through this, so there's nothing we don't understand when we see his expression.
Yan Jiuru said with a smile: "Director Liang, long time no see."
I don't know what the other party is busy with recently. He came two or three times but didn't meet him.
"It's been a while. I heard you applied for university? How's that going?"
"It's not bad. I answered all the questions I know, and there are very few questions I don't know. Hahahaha~"
"Hey kid, if you have good news, remember to treat us!" The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.
Yan Jiuru arrived outside Director Wu's door.
The door was ajar.
"Come in."
Director Wu had heard the noise a long time ago and immediately called people in.
Director Wu also saw his cheerful look, and snorted inwardly in dissatisfaction, but he had to admit that he was indeed unable to do the job due to his old age.
Ahem, luckily this kid gave him some Cynomorium songaricum last time and made some good wine.
"Looks like you did well on the test? Did you get an estimate of your score?"
"It's okay, I estimated 350 points."
Director Wu was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "That's not bad at all, it's quite good."
He knew Yan Jiuru was not the kind of person who would brag about his abilities. He said he estimated 350 points, and the final score should be no more, no less.
With this score, I can’t say I’ll be the top student, but I’m sure I’ll get into a top university.
"By the way, how did your wife, Xiao Chen, do on the exam?"
"She always had better grades than me when she was in school, and this time, too, her estimated score is more than ten points higher than mine."
"Well done, good job."
***
Speaking of work, Director Wu took out a few pages of documents from the inner room and handed them to Yan Jiuru, saying, "Take a look first and then we'll talk."
Yan Jiuru quickly browsed through it.
He noticed a newspaper clipping from April 1945, which reported that a certain Japanese ship was sunk by an American warship.
It was the end of World War II. Before the Japanese were defeated, they evacuated a large number of senior Japanese military officers and their families who had come to Southeast Asia during the occupation, as well as many Japanese businessmen who had followed them to make a fortune.
It is said that during the retreat, a huge merchant ship was forcibly requisitioned, carrying more than 2,000 Japanese officers and their families, entourage, and many treasures and supplies.
However, whether the information was leaked or it was a coincidence, the large ship was intercepted by a US warship and sunk in the southeastern waters of my country.
There are two more documents at the end which are related investigation reports.
Yan Jiuru pointed at the '40 tons of gold and 20 tons of silver' and asked, "This?"
Director Wu nodded. "Recently, several groups of unidentified individuals have appeared in the nearby waters. They are likely searching for and attempting to salvage this batch of supplies."
"Doesn't this investigative report say that this might be fake news, and that the real gold and silver were actually transported to the Japanese country through other channels?"
If this is true, is it worth it to exchange the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers and their families for 40 tons of gold and 20 tons of silver?
Director Wu paced slowly with his hands behind his back, shaking his head. "It's hard to say. We originally thought so, but the situation has clearly changed recently."
Let’s not talk about silver for now, 40 tons of gold, not to mention the gold those people secretly looted in Southeast Asia, we have to take it seriously again.”
"The message from above is that you should go and try to confirm it. It would be best to find out whether it exists or not. Only then can we make a decision."
Yan Jiuru nodded: "Okay, no problem for me."
They have been traveling all over the country recently, but have never been to the sea.
"When do you leave?"
Director Wu waved his hand. "Don't worry. The seabed is tens or even hundreds of meters deep. I'll arrange for you to learn how to dive and swim first, just in case."
***
Yan Jiuru actually knows more about the seabed than many people.
After all, it was common for the former Demon Lord to travel to heaven and sea.
When your cultivation is shallow, you will have the help of water-repellent beads. When your cultivation is deep, you can walk freely on the seabed with your own strength.
There are not only various fish, shrimps, crabs, clams, sea pearls and corals on the seabed, but also jellyfish, conger eels and other highly poisonous creatures. Of course, there are also many good things. He also dug several high-quality spiritual veins on the seabed in the past.
Although it is not the same interface, the dangers on the seabed still exist.
Not to mention how much ammunition and shipwrecks have been thrown into the sea during wars over the years, the seabed itself often has unfathomable trenches and canyons. Once you fall into one, you will probably become food for fish and shrimp.
***
Since he had accepted the task, Yan Jiuru waited for arrangements from above.
When he was going upstairs, he passed by 501 and saw a sign that said "Investigation Team", but there was no one in the room.
Tsk tsk, judging from the name, it seems like it’s a job that requires running errands everywhere, there’s no leisure time.
Yan Jiuru returned to his office and looked at the fish tank first. Several goldfish were still swimming leisurely, shaking their tails. It was obvious that they were living a good life.
During the time he was away, the flowers, plants and goldfish were kept alive by the spiritual energy brought by the Qi Gathering Talisman. Director Wu would occasionally help him put some fish food and water the plants when he came back, but no one else was allowed to enter their office.
Yan Jiuru boiled some hot water, made a cup of tea, burned incense, and after he felt calm, he picked up the brush and continued to draw the talisman.
This time he dug out a few talismans from his memory that might be useful, such as the water-repellent talisman.
After this talisman is activated, it will form a protective film that covers the person, allowing them to walk and breathe freely in the water. However, if the level is too low, the effective time will be relatively short, and it will collapse when encountering strong winds, waves or impacts.
Another example is the water-dividing talisman, which can split the water into two sides, revealing a path for walking, but if the level is low, the effect is not great and it will dissipate quickly.
There is also a Golden Bell Cover Talisman, which is a main defense talisman, only for attack, and has no other effect. In addition, there is an Anti-Pressure Talisman, a hedge talisman for the Thousand-Force Talisman; there are also Fire-Starting Talisman, Ice-Sealing Talisman, Light Body Acceleration Talisman, etc.
Yan Jiuru wasted a bunch of high-quality yellow paper in the morning and drew a stack of finished products.
Well, the good news is that as his spiritual awareness grows, the level of the talismans he draws increases; the not-so-good news is that if he uses them, such as the Five Thunders Evil-Repelling Talisman, it may be more troublesome.
It's just that the level has been raised, and as long as his realm does not drop, it can't go down. It's not like he can draw at a lower level just because he wants to.
This is mainly because his previous foundation was too good. Alas, it’s also worrying.
***
At noon, go to the cafeteria to eat.
The chef made braised pork slices, spicy braised pork belly and dried eggplant, homemade fried tofu, mustard cabbage, radish and bone soup, and a large bowl of red pickled radish and fragrant mustard greens.
The staple food is mixed flour steamed buns, which are plentiful.
Yan Jiuru had consumed a lot of physical energy last night and had consumed his spiritual energy by drawing talismans in the morning. At noon, he couldn't help but have a big appetite. He picked up a small basket of steamed buns and made a pot of vegetables to eat first.
The master chef saw him and whispered, "Xiaoyan, well, look, when is it convenient for you to exchange amulets with me, okay?"
Yan Jiuru raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Okay, I'll take some time this afternoon to draw a few and leave one for you."
"No, it's really hard to open your mouth, at least leave three or five for me."
Yan Jiuru glanced at him.
The master chef quickly explained: "I use it for my own family, I don't want to mess with this treasure."
"That's what it is. My son's company finally allocated him an apartment, but he ended up living there for two months and still feels uneasy."
The child cries day and night, and it's no use coaxing him. My wife also says she feels terrified at night. In short, I don't feel good.
But it is so hard to get a house, so no one will let it go easily.
Just a few days ago, when he came back to have dinner and talked about it, he thought of the "big shot" in his unit.
I happened to meet him today, so I quickly asked him to give it a try.
Fortunately, their unit does not prohibit this kind of petty social etiquette. As long as you don't do anything stupid, they will turn a blind eye.
"Didn't you ask Taoist Master Tan?"
When Yan Jiuru heard what he said, she felt that there might be something unclean in the house.
The chef rolled his eyes, pointed upwards, and muttered, "The shelf is too big, we can't reach it."
After lunch, the chef came over while he was washing dishes and stuffed a roll of something into his hand. "See if it's enough. If not, I'll give you something else later."
Yan Jiuru didn't even look at it, but nodded and said, "Okay."
When he returned to the office, he took a look: there were three foreign exchange coupons with a face value of 100 yuan, a TV ticket, three one-pound meat tickets, and a camera ticket.
Okay, although the talismans he draws now are no longer the lowest-level ones in the past, and can be regarded as priceless treasures, he is just a colleague and a nice person, so he will just do it for his own good.
However, it is better to make things clear.
***
In the whole afternoon, he drew some dust-removing talismans and Qi-gathering talismans for daily use, and then went on to draw the Five Thunder Evil-Repelling Talisman, the Water-avoiding Talisman, the Golden Bell Cover Talisman, the Anti-Curse Talisman, and so on.
As the workday was almost over, the chef came to see him.
Yan Jiuru led the people to the guest seats outside: "Let's sit down and talk."
The master chef knew that one shouldn't just look around a place like theirs, so he just glanced at the emerald green and bright flowers all over the room, and the faint fragrance lingering in his nose. He was secretly amazed in his heart: He is indeed a master. Look at this room, how can it be so full of life?
Seeing that he didn't look around, Yan Jiuru nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'll accept the things you want to exchange, but..."
The other person immediately sat up straight, looked at him nervously, and said, "How much is missing? I'll make up for it for you tomorrow."
As soon as he took a look at the other person's house, he realized that he was not well prepared.
Yan Jiuru waved his hand, "It's okay, that's not what I want to talk about.
Let me put it this way. The talismans I drew before were of the lowest level, and you know the effects. Now my talismans have reached a higher level, and once activated, if they really hit something, the effect will be even more intense. Do you understand?"
Oh, huh?!
The master chef's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted again: "This..."
Yan Jiuru spread his hands, there was nothing he could do about it.
Yan Jiuru gave him a Five Thunders Talisman to ward off evil spirits, plus three Golden Bell Cover Talismans, and explained how to activate them.
"It's best to apply to the institute. If there's anyone who's good at this, we can go and take a look together. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we'll both be embarrassed to explain it."
"Okay then. I'll do as you say."
The master chef remembered that the lowest point last time caused such a sensation, and this time it was raised again, so he was afraid something might happen.
***
The next day at lunch, the chef excitedly told him, "The director agreed. The people from your neighboring investigation team will be back this afternoon, and someone will go with you to see it."
As a result, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jiuru heard a loud "boom" coming from the northwest on the fifth floor!
Yan Jiuru rushed out of the door and jumped onto the roof.
Not long after, Director Wu rushed back from outside in a rage. After answering a few phone calls in the office, he went up to the fifth floor cursing.
He knocked on the doors of 501 and 502 one by one and called out to everyone: "You, you, all follow me!"
Yan Jiuru and 501 poked their heads out to look around, looking confused, but no one dared to provoke Old Wu who was almost furious.
***
The jeep sped towards a factory area in the northwest.
Director Wu frowned, but he was no longer as angry.
After all, this matter was also approved by the institute.
"Oh~" Old Wu sighed.
The person on the phone said that more than half of the back wall of the third floor had collapsed, and the key point was that the people from their investigation team and the master chef's son were "missing".
