Chapter 16: First Arrival at Ice City

However, Gu Junming's call was obviously wishful thinking.

Yu Chunbing, who was in a state of emotional distress, didn't even want to see Luo Xiaonan and Ji Leer, who had gone over to accompany her, let alone Gu Junming, who gave her a headache when hearing sounds.

The call simply didn't get through.

The infatuated Gu Junming was so disappointed.

Yong Bowen ignored Gu Junming and contacted Liang Tingting himself.

Liang Tingting and Lu Xiangbei were both Yu Chengshi's generals. When they went to Japan, because the stakes were so important, Yu Chengshi took them both with him. Usually, there was no need for both of them to go out at the same time. According to the usual arrangement, they always

It was Lu Xiangbei who was in charge of overseas operations, while Liang Tingting was in charge of domestic operations.

This time Liang Tingting brought six people to Chuncheng, but they were all masters of the Dongting Sect.

The Dongting Sect is a local sect in Jilin that just emerged in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Holy See and the Wizards Guild allied forces invaded and massacred Chinese magicians. The local magicians in Jilin suffered heavy casualties. In order to protect themselves, they organized

They form associations to spontaneously fight against aggression, and their members are all kinds of tricks. There are witches and gods who dance with great gods, there are spiritual boys and saints who are born psychic, there are worshipers who support the family, there are gentlemen who set up stalls and tell fortunes, and they are basically low-level mages at the bottom. On weekdays,

They are also begging for food among ordinary people, and the really rich and powerful people don't even bother to ask for them. It's just like buying things nowadays. The rich and powerful people naturally use international famous brands, but the ordinary people buy them.

Usually knockoffs are used.

Because there are no powerful figures in the sect who can stand on the stage, neither the co-believers nor the big alliance have any interest in this small, almost rotten sect. They neither win over nor attack them, leaving them to fend for themselves.

.However, this Dongting sect has backbone. Since taking the oath to establish the religion, it has been defending its hometown and launched an indomitable struggle against the European invading coalition forces and the Japanese Shingon sect and Onmyoji who invaded China.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Dongting Sect produced a strange man named Liang Zhuzhu. After integrating the unattractive spells in the sect, he created a unique thaumaturgy called Big Grip. Although this name is rustic, it is very powerful.

No small matter. Liang Zhuzhu took this opportunity to ascend to the position of leader, revise the canon rules, and train the followers. Since then, the Dongting Sect has developed from the initial loose alliance into a well-organized sect with clear goals. Although it is called the Dongting Sect,

The believers have a variety of beliefs, so outsiders also call them the Dongting Sect.

After years of development, by the third year of liberation, the power of the Dongting Church had expanded to the entire three eastern provinces. Many of the young people in the congregation were veterans of the four fields. Although they believed in Marxism-Leninism and worshiped the Taizu of the current dynasty, they did not

He delayed the practice of magic. The leader Liang Zhuzi was awarded by the Red Dynasty for his meritorious service in organizing the congregation and was invited to participate in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. With these connections, in the early years of the Red Dynasty, during the campaign against the reactionary Taoist sects,

The Dongting Sect was not affected, but under the strict orders of Liang Zhuzi, they all restrained themselves and did not use magic. Today, the old sect leader Liang Zhuzi is still alive and living in the countryside of Jilin. At that time, the local government had to appoint leaders every year.

A veteran who goes to express condolences and visit.

The current leader of the church, Liang Tingting, is Liang Zhuzi’s great-granddaughter.

Compared with Yu Chengshi's Maoshan Sect and Yong Bowen's Taiping Dao, which were sects that moved to the Northeast due to various reasons such as seeking refuge after the Red Dynasty Dingding, the Dongting Sect is truly a native-born local leader who has strong connections in the three northeastern provinces.

There are so many twists and turns, since it was an accident on the ground in Northeast China, Dongtingjiao is the perfect candidate for the investigation team.

After the group met at the entrance of the expressway, they took the expressway to Bingcheng.

In the evening, we arrived at Ice City.

Zhao Xuan, the chairman of the Spring City Master Association, had been notified in advance and personally led people to greet him at the exit of the highway.

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhao Xuan is still a subordinate of Yong Bowen, because she is the manager of the Bingcheng branch of Wanglian Express.

This was the first time Yong Bowen met the only female president in the Northeast. On the way, Liang Tingting introduced that Chairman Zhao is now thirty-six years old, still single and unmarried. She comes from Shamanism and is a native sect in the Northeast. Her father is

Today, Zhao Guodong, the chairman of the Heilongjiang Masters Association, is also the leader of shamanism.

When he saw Chairman Zhao, Yong Bowen was slightly surprised.

Although she is thirty-six years old, Zhao Xuan still looks like she is ten years old. Standing next to Aliyun and Liang Tingting, she definitely looks younger than Aliyun and Liang Tingting, and probably a little older than Mei Yaxuan.

Chairman Zhao is only 1.6 meters tall, petite and exquisite, with short, lean hair. He wears a women's suit. Although he is shorter, he looks extremely smart and capable.

The intersection was not a place for talking, so the two parties briefly exchanged greetings and introduced each other before getting in the car and heading into the city.

Zhao Xuan has already arranged for everyone to stay in a hotel, which is located in Songtaoyuan next to the headquarters of the Bingcheng Mage Association. This is a hotel run by the Heilongjiang Mage Association. Needless to say, the conditions are good. What is even more convenient is that the burning Internet Express

The Bingcheng branch is right across from the hotel. Sitting in the room, you can see the burnt black Net Express Bingcheng branch building through the window. It is also very convenient to go to the site to survey.

Liang Tingting was an impatient person. When she arrived at the hotel, she took a short rest and didn't even eat dinner, then she proposed to go to the site immediately to inspect.

We are all magicians, so it doesn’t matter if we miss one or two meals.

Zhao Xuan also knows the seriousness of the loss of the ghost converter - her father, Zhao Guodong, is Yu Chengshi's brother and can be regarded as a die-hard ally. He is one of the few people who knows the true function of the ghost converter, so she also knows -

—Without much persuasion at the moment, he personally took everyone to the branch building of Netlink Express.

This building only has six floors. It is an old-fashioned building from the early days. It was originally the site of the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative. After the supply and marketing cooperative moved, the building was bought by the Bingcheng Master Association. They initially did some foreign trade business with Russia, but the results were not good.

Okay, it stopped soon and remained idle until the opening of Netlink Express, and then it was reactivated. For the sake of confidentiality, Zhao Xuan arranged for people to dig a layer underground, and the ghost converter was placed on the underground layer, where it is usually used to transport goods.

After being downloaded from the Internet, it is carried out by the Chinese Master and sent to the delivery class using a conveyor belt before being transferred to the hands of ordinary employees.

The fire started in the tea room on the first floor in the early morning and quickly spread to the entire floor. He had not yet gone to work at that time, and the guard on duty promptly called the police and escaped from the building. The fire brigade arrived quickly, but the fire was out of control. By the time it was extinguished, the entire building was

The building has been burned to the ground, and even the underground floor has not been able to escape. It was completely burned. After the Mage Association personnel entered the building after the fire was extinguished, the first thing they did was to go to the underground floor. Not only were there ghost converters

, and two mages on duty! It was only then that they discovered that the ghost converter and the two mages on duty had disappeared.
Chapter completed!
