Chapter 142
142 A mysterious package
Fred, put the box on the ground in the yard.
said link as he stood at the door with his arms crossed.
Fred didn’t know what was going on, but he still did as his boss asked and put the box on the ground.
“Have you ever thought that there might be a bomb in the box?” Asked link.
The smile on Fred’s face froze. “no, no way? isn’t it forbidden to use explosives in shandu?”
when the thugs around him heard this, they were so frightened that they immediately retreated and shrank back to the door of the room.
I think the box is quite light. Could it be an explosive? ” Fred’s face turned pale with fear.
this kind of mail is the easiest to forge, ” link said with a smile. just give a fake sender’s name and address. After the explosion, even if the Shatu military wants to investigate, they won’t be able to do anything. besides, you said that the name of the box is ‘painter John’. Don’t you think that others will be curious when they see such a box? How can we just send it to the link gang?”
Fred thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
Various industries in the sand City were controlled by families or forces, and the mail business was no exception.
The painter John was a famous figure on wasteland planet. Who wouldn’t be curious about the package sent by such a Supreme Being?
“Boss, is it really possible that the enemy sent this bomb in John’s name?”
Link looked at the chest and said, perhaps this is a warning or a threat. This is an empty box.
Earlier, link had already asked the treasure-hunting mouse to sense the box. It was empty.
An empty box?
Fred was stunned for a moment. He immediately walked up and cut the box open with a knife. There was nothing inside. It was just as his boss had said.
“Boss, it’s really an empty box!”
Link’s face was expressionless, but third brother frowned.”Who sent this? is it a prank or a warning?”
Just as everyone was still in shock over the strange empty package, the voice of the courier came from outside the alley again. “Link, help me! There’s a bag for you!”
Another bag!
With their boss’s reminder, no one dared to go out to pick up the package.
Seeing this, Fu raised his hand and squeezed out of the crowd. “I’ll go if it’s not possible!”
when the others heard this, they all had an incredulous expression on their faces. they never thought that the one who stood up at this time would actually be brother fu.
Seeing that even brother Fu had stepped forward, Fred gritted his teeth and stepped forward. “Brother Fu, I’ll go with you!”
Fu waved his hand and pushed Fred back to the team. “Forget it. If it really explodes later, I’ll have to spend time and effort to protect you.”
Link nodded and gestured for Ah Fu to get it.
Fu had the ability to spiritualise his body. As soon as he noticed something wrong, his spiritualism would immediately disappear, and the physical damage of the explosion would not do anything to him.
Fu walked to the entrance of the alley and glanced at the courier. He didn’t see anything different about the courier. He was the type of person who would forget after one look and blend into the crowd.
Fu signed for the package and weighed it in her arms.
The package was very light, and he didn’t hear any movement even when he shook it.
As they walked into the alley, Fu cut open the package with a knife and showed it to everyone. “Another empty bag.”
The hot-tempered Bob couldn’t help but curse, ” another empty bag. If I find out who’s trying to trick us, I’ll kill him!
boss, this … third brother was at his wits ‘end. If the packages were to continue to be sent in this manner today, they would not be able to do anything!
Link stared at the two empty boxes on the ground, trying to figure out what the other party was up to.
“Hello, there’s a parcel for link. Please come out and sign for it!”
Everyone’s spirits were lifted. Again!
Everyone turned to look at their leader, link, hoping that he would have a solution.
“Everyone, disperse and do your own things. Don’t loiter around in the courtyard. Fu will be in charge of retrieving the package.”
“Also, bring me a chair.”
Link’s expression was calm and collected. He wasn’t distracted by a few empty bags at all.
His calm performance was like a stabilizing force. The thugs who were panicking just now were all appeased when they saw their boss’s appearance.
Everyone followed the boss’s instructions and scattered.
Only the macaw beside link was still cursing,”The person who did this is too much of a thief. If they have the ability, come out and fight it out. Doing such a shady thing is really a bad Yin Yang person! this is a f * cking memorial tablet hidden in the dark. where’s the f * cking worship?”
fu made another trip, and this time, it was still an empty box.
Link held his coffee cup and bathed in the cool afternoon breeze. He looked peaceful as he sat and watched the show of the mastermind.
The macaw behind him was already furious. “F * ck, if I find out who the f * ck did it, I’ll use my indestructible diamond mouth to directly poke the dog’s head! If you like to hide in the dark and act cool so much, you’ll just be a pair of underwear in your next life! I’ll definitely hit your mother with a carrying pole until she doesn’t know what year it is in the heavenly Palace!”
The hellhound at the side raised its head and barked in protest.
Did the dog head offend you?
“boss, it should be just these five, right? It’s been half an hour since I last received a package.”
fu stood in the yard and looked down at the five empty bags.
Lin Ke put down his coffee cup and walked to the yard. He squatted down to pick up the empty paper box and looked at it.
It was just an ordinary parcel box, nothing special about it.
However, to be safe, link still let the treasure-hunting mouse out to check it carefully.
The treasure-hunting mouse rolled back and forth on the front and back of the paper box, sniffing and sighing. Suddenly, its eyes lit up and it pointed at the paper box, squeaking.
Link turned around and gestured for the macaw to translate for him.
The macaw gulped down a mouthful of water and said,”little treasure is saying that he can smell a faint human scent in the box.”
The scent of the person in the box?
Link frowned. He picked up the box and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn’t see anything different.
The treasure-hunting mouse jumped into the box in Link’s hand and rapped on the bottom of the box with its claws.
“You’re saying that there’s something inside?”
The treasure-hunting mouse nodded.
link’s eyes flashed as he thought of a term-interlayer!
He carefully cut open the other sides with a knife. Looking at the bottom of the yellow paper box, link saw a wisp of white from the side. It was sandwiched between the gaps of the paper.
Link’s eyes lit up. He tore the paper apart and pulled out a white, translucent drawing paper.
On the paper was a lifelike sketch of a magnificent modern building.
All kinds of light and shadow intertwined and appeared through a pencil. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was ‘wondrous.’
The skyscraper on the paper was the United Pharmaceutical company that link had been to before.
On the lower right corner, link saw the artist’s signature.
“Eh, there are words behind this!”
the macaw had somehow run up to link and looked up at the words on the back of the paper.
P.S. [ first update: I have to go to my partner’s house for dinner tonight. I’ll probably be back late, but there will be a lot of updates. I’ll stay up late to write after I’m back. ]
