Chapter 106 Chapter 106 The Case of Kidnapping with Superpowers (Part 3)
Just like the old truck before, the yacht prepared by Lin Chengren's gang was naturally not in very good condition. One could faintly smell the fishy smell of some seafood in the cabin. Yuyin felt that her sudden seasickness must be related to the fact that this old yacht was too shabby.
But leaning against Atobe, feeling the boat swaying slowly with the waves, Yuyin felt her heart gradually calm down.
"Thank you, I feel much better now."
Atobe Keigo shook his head: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this kind of thing. It's me who has implicated you."
"You forgot, I am..."
Yuyin spoke in a low voice, worried that the kidnappers would hear what she said next, so she deliberately stopped halfway through. However, Atobe Keigo naturally understood what she meant.
She meant that she was originally Atobe's bodyguard and it was her duty to protect him, and there was no question of who was implicating whom.
However, such a conversation based on guesswork is inconvenient after all. When Yuyin and others' seasickness symptoms eased a little, they quietly used spells without talismans to communicate with Atobe.
Spells without talismans are a type of spell that is more difficult to perform. They refer to spells that are performed directly using spiritual power (mantra power) without the use of talismans or spells. Few people can master them.
Yuyin had also experienced so many worlds, and at this moment she was very close to Jibu, the person she needed a mental connection to communicate with, so she was able to perform it successfully in one go.
[Don't worry, Jingwu. When I find the opportunity later, I will let you run first.]
When he suddenly heard Yuyin's voice, and the content was the same, Atobe Keigo was stunned.
While he was stunned, Yuyin quickly said, "You don't have to say it out loud. This is a conversation between our minds connected by magic. You just need to think about what you want to say to me in your mind."
"I understand." Atobe tried it out and soon succeeded. Then he said worriedly, "I left, what about you?"
"Don't worry, I'll protect myself." After a moment's thought, worried that Atobe might not understand the seriousness of the situation, Yuyin added, "This group of people are criminals wanted by official supernatural agencies for a long time. They're extremely dangerous. I've been acting in front of them to lower their vigilance so I can gather intelligence. When I take action, leave in the direction I indicate. There are some powerful supernatural users among them, and I'll hold them back."
You only worry about my safety, but what about your own?
After hearing her say this, Atobe just wanted to ask back.
But he actually knew very well that if he stayed at the scene, he would probably only hinder Yuyin.
Atobe has always been proud of his "omnipotence", but he is also very self-aware and understands that what Yuyin has experienced is something he cannot support or help with for the time being.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
[Keigo?]
After not getting his answer for a long time, Yuyin asked.
"I understand," Atobe nodded, and promised with difficulty, "I will follow your instructions when the time comes. I will definitely not delay."
Yuyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that Atobe would show off his strength and stay at the scene at the critical moment. After all, according to the information provided by Fushimi, none of the hostages at the scene where the unknown psychic activated his supernatural powers survived.
Although she was confident that she could deal with the opponent, or protect Tezuka's life from the enemy, just in case, she still hoped that Tezuka would leave early.
Thinking of something, Yuyin suddenly asked: "By the way, do you have the talisman I gave you before?"
She saw that Totoro was suddenly captured after the game and was only wearing simple sportswear and a jacket. She was worried that he came in a hurry and did not have the talisman she gave him. In this case, the risk of him escaping alone would increase.
"Yes," Atobe said without hesitation, pulling out the amulet from around his neck. He explained rather sheepishly, "You said you wanted to carry it with you, so I made some of these amulets into amulets and carry them with me."
Japanese people have always had the habit of carrying amulets or special commemorative items as amulets. Atobe grew up in the UK and didn't believe in these things at first, but after Yuyin gave him these amulets, he studied them and made them into lucky amulets that he could carry with him.
During the game just now, he kept the amulet close to his body in his pocket. He only took it away for a while when he was taking a shower in the lounge, and then put it on his neck when he came out.
Tamane was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that Atobe would make it into an amulet. As a native islander and a shrine maiden, she certainly knew the custom of lucky amulets. Now she was the one who felt embarrassed.
She stammered, "This... isn't a valuable item. It's not worth using as your amulet, Jingwu."
If the exorcists or sorcerers heard this, they would curse her for showing off her skills unconsciously. After all, it would take a lot of effort for an ordinary sorcerer to make such a high-level talisman. Only a high-level sorcerer like Saionji Gyoon could casually say "it's not a valuable thing", making ordinary sorcerers envious and jealous.
But in Yuyin's opinion, it was indeed so, and she sincerely felt so.
Ordinary talismans use paper and ink as carriers to carry spiritual power or spell power to cast spells. The more special the paper and ink, the better the effect.
In addition to the special paper and ink, there are also special wood and jade, which are better carriers of talismans.
Thinking about how much Atomo cherished the talisman she gave him, Yuyin naturally wanted to give him something better in return. After all, given Atomo's wealth and his daily habits of using things, precious gems would of course suit him better.
Thinking of this, she said firmly: "When we return from here, I'll give you a better one. Don't worry, it will be absolutely gorgeous and worthy of your status."
Atobe laughed and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
*
The yacht stopped only when it reached the center of the sea. Standing on the deck and looking around, you can clearly see the surrounding situation and whether there is an enemy attack.
This was exactly the strategy that Lin Chengren and his men had decided on from the beginning. They would first make a feint to the east and attack in the west, pretending to kidnap the daughter of the wealthy Wood family from New York, USA, who was the sponsor of the competition. Then, while the people chasing them were diverted, they would attack the real target, Atobe Keigo, and use their supernatural powers to teleport to a pre-prepared warehouse, transfer to the dock by truck, and finally head straight for the sea.
Even if the government lackeys tracked him down afterwards, they would be able to find out that something was wrong at the first time while they were at sea. Even if the other party tracked him down here later and laid a dragnet on the sea, Lin Chengren would be able to escape with his spatial ability [trap] and continue to be at large.
It has to be said that this series of plans was very careful. When Lin Chengren was on the deck sending a ransom email with photos to the email address of the Atobe family that he had found out in advance through the encrypted network, he was even thinking complacently that maybe the group of lackeys could not find their whereabouts at all, and he would have already gotten the huge ransom and fled away.
In fact, he didn't really want to kill people for things that could be resolved peacefully, especially killing the hostages of wealthy families. If he did this too many times and his reputation spread, what would he do if he couldn't collect the money in the future?
Look how kind he is. If it weren't for those government lackeys pressing him step by step, who would be willing to kill the hostages and ruin his own reputation if he hadn't cared about so many things in order to protect himself?
I just hope that the people of the Atobe family can be more sensible this time and pay the ransom quickly, otherwise when those lackeys catch up, he can only say to the Atobe family innocently: "I'm sorry, if you want to hate you, go hate those lackeys."
"Boss Lin, there's no need to be so cautious." The first to raise an objection was the tall and strong man Kamei. "With your ability, those henchmen won't even be able to touch our tails."
Kamei flattered and laughed heartily.
Lin Chengren narrowed his eyes. Kamei joined their team later. It was said that he used to be a gangster in Yokohama. Unfortunately, after the Port Mafia became the king in Yokohama, his organization was defeated by the Port Mafia in the competition. He was forced to make a living on his own.
Considering that this operation required a ship, and this guy was familiar with ships, ports and things at sea, after checking his resume, Lin Chengren specially recruited Kamei into the gang.
Lin Chengren casually replied, "Why, you make a living on a ship, and you still feel bored at sea?"
"Boss Lin, you don't allow us to go online, play cards or drink, so I'm a bit bored." Kamei smoked a cigarette, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
In the past, in their gang, even if they smuggled guns, ammunition and other supplies, they still had to drift on the sea for many days. But at that time, he could eat meat and drink with other gang members, gamble and play cards whenever he wanted, and the days on the sea were very comfortable. It was not like now, where you are not allowed to do this or that, and apart from smoking, you can only stare at the sea on the deck, which is suffocating.
Lin Chengren glanced at him and warned, "You'd better give up those little thoughts as soon as possible. I warned you before I accepted you in. This is different from your lazy gang life in the past. We are in a business that can cost you your life."
Kamei was a little unconvinced: "I used to do business that was also very risky."
"Smuggling, huh?" Lin Chengren commented casually. "Back then, at most you were chased by the Coast Guard and patrols. As long as you weren't caught, you were fine. It wasn't a life-or-death business. But our gang is different. You know the Supernatural Special Agents Division, right? They're Yokohama's most secretive and servile supernatural management agency. Once they get their hands on someone, no one can escape."
In order to raise his own status, Lin Chengren rarely praised his old rival organization.
"They don't even look at ordinary cases. It's just our team, whose wanted list has been upgraded from C to A, and is said to be going up to S-rank now, that's being pursued relentlessly by them. Tell me, when you were involved in smuggling with the gang, did the Special Ability Department give you any trouble?"
Kamei, cigarette in hand, shook his head in astonishment. "That, that Special Ability Division? I only heard from the old gang members. Back when there were still a few psychics in the gang, they seemed to have caused trouble for us. But after the earthquake that year, when all the psychics in the gang died, they haven't bothered with us since."
"Oh, a big earthquake?"
Lin Chengren snorted coldly when he heard this. If he had not seized the opportunity and left Yokohama early, he would probably be one of the victims of the earthquake now.
"Anyway, you better be alert! Don't even think about distracting yourself with other things, especially surfing the internet, playing cards, or drinking. The enemies we're dealing with are completely different from the good-for-nothings you used to deal with in the □□ organization. We could be in trouble if we're not careful."
Lin Chengren finally turned the topic back and warned again.
This time, Kamei shrank his neck and stopped protesting.
Just then, Lin Chengren's phone vibrated, reminding him that he had received a new message.
Lin Chengren originally thought it was a reply from the Atobe family, and thought the action was quite quick. He casually glanced down and his expression suddenly changed.
Then he pretended to be normal and instructed Kamei again, "Alright, I won't say any more. You know more about things at sea than I do. Anyway, you'll be in charge of patrolling the deck for now. Gaoshan and I will go and rest first. If you find anything wrong, come in and let us know immediately. Remember!"
He secretly glanced at Gao Shan, who had been hiding in a corner silently. Gao Shan was stunned by the signal, and then the two of them went into the boat together.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Lin Chengren's face darkened. "Oh no! The foreign aid from Tokyo that the Special Ability Special Agents Department found is moving much faster than we expected. They've already found the warehouse where we were transiting."
Gao Shan was stunned and said subconsciously, "...No, that's impossible. Even if the other party has that energy exploration device, your space jump is not that easy to crack. If we want to analyze and crack the energy fluctuations of the space jump, such a short time is definitely not enough!"
"I originally thought so too," Lin Chengren said, pacing around with an extremely grim expression. "This is the information Mr. D gave us. It can't be wrong."
As he spoke, Lin Chengren handed the phone to Gao Shan for him to check.
Gao Shan took it and looked at it. On the phone screen was the interface of a new email from Mr. D received in the secret mailbox. There was a photo attached to the interface. Gao Shan recognized it at once. The photo was a picture taken from a distance of two strangers in the transit warehouse where they had stayed before.
The shooting time shows that it was exactly five minutes ago.
