Soon, the train to Yungui District arrived at its station.
The human trafficker was not in a hurry to disembark the train. Instead, he stared at the black crows that were flying across the sky before he took out his phone to make a call. “Boss, I think I've been marked. No, it isn't the police, but it's a group of spooky things. These supernatural beings are obviously determined to disrupt our work. With them following me, I have absolutely no way of getting the goods onto the train. Can you get the master to cast a spell for me so that I can get rid of them once and for all!”
After listening to his explanation, the person on the other end of the line hung up. The Boss the human trafficker was calling was Yungui District's local tyrant. He was also known as Master Six. He was usually involved in the illegal trading of little children and women. Generally, it was not a difficult task to transport goods with the train. Even if they slipped up and attracted the attention of authorities, it was easy to cut off loose ends. But this time, for some reason, not only the legal authorities were scrutinizing them, various triads were checking up on them too. Consequently, it had cost him a few deals.
Initially, he thought that he might have offended someone. However, now that he was informed about the supernatural beings, he decided not to put up with it anymore. He turned and entered the meditation room on the second floor.
If there was nothing important, he would never dare come up to disturb her here.
However, he could no longer hold it in. He reached out to push the door open. A 30-year-old woman was sitting inside the room, clad with an Indian kasaya with many prayer beads around her neck. She was teaching a child how to read. From the side, she looked extremely gentle. Surprisingly, the child seemed extremely frightened and could not learn anything at all.
The woman tightened her grip around the ballpoint pen as if she was trying to suppress her emotion. She took a deep breath before she rose to her feet. Her face was truly exotic while her waist length black hair cascaded down her back. Her eyes were filled with Buddhist aura as she lifted her head to look at Sixth Brother. She asked in an indifferent tone, “How can I help you?”
“Master, something happened. Seventh Brother seems to have gotten into a bit of trouble. He said that he might have been targeted by some supernatural beings. These beings could very well ruin our work. By then, the children of single-parent households who you wanted…” Sixth Brother sounded hesitant, hoping that she could help solve this problem.
He had never believed in the existence of ghosts or spirits in this world, nor was he scared of them. Until he met this woman a while ago, it was then that Sixth Brother realized that there were things in this world that could not be explained by science and logic. For instance, there was a rumor that was spreaded across the city, saying that one would be hypnotized and followed his or her abductor willingly simply by a tap on the shoulder. The secret behind this was not some special potion, but a mere talisman. He had also learned about killing spells and tricks to raise a ghost. Each of them were extremely powerful.
Until today, Sixth Brother still had no idea about the background of this master. Despite that, his earnings had increased more than three folds since he got help from this woman!
Previously he was only in charge of the trading of the goods. He would help the independent traffickers to trade the abducted children. He could earn a great amount by being the middle-man.
Now he had officially founded an organization, the number of children transported to Yungui district had amounted to a five-figure number within a month time. The master had an odd temperament. She never asked for money. Instead, she would pick the children she liked from the kidnapped lot.
However these children would only stay with her for three days. Three days later, the children would vanish. No one knew where the children went and no one dared question her.
Sixth Brother understood that she approached him because he was working in this industry. But, what did the master do to those kids? Has she eaten them?
Sixth Brother did not want to recur to the idea. He bowed his head quietly and respectfully before the woman.
The woman threw a glance at him before she asked in an unvarying tone, “Where is he now?”
“The train has just arrived at the station. He has probably disembarked the train by now.” Sixth Brother said as he took out his mobile phone. “Do you want to speak to him?”
The woman did not receive the phone. Seemingly, she had paid all her attention to the child. She picked up the ballpoint pen before she answered, “That's not necessary. It's easy for one to set a tactical formation at the train station. Tell him to utilize the talisman paper I gave him, bite the finger of his right hand and draw a cross on the ground with his blood. Then, the problem will solve itself. Leave the call connected and put it on the speaker so I can hear everything.”
Sixth Brother's eyes lit up as he realized that she was going to take command personally. Therefore, he quickly turned on the speaker.
Listening to the instructions from the other end of the line, the human trafficker rubbed his hands together as he looked at the black crows outside his window again. A hint of excitement and wickedness flashed across his eyes.
These thoughtless beings must think that peace is boring and want to dig an early grave for themselves!
He put on a sinister smile as he violently zipped his jacket. Then, he strode off the train.
The master said that the tactical formation must be placed at a place far from the exit…
At this moment, Little Qingchen was half awake in his coach. He did not realize that the train had arrived at the terminal, but was merely disturbed by the noise. He stretched out his tiny hands to rub his eyes. Having just woken up, his hair was still frizzy.
Baili Shangxie could tell that Little Qingchen was reluctant to move. Therefore, he lifted Little Qingchen up in a domineering manner. Having Little Qingchen in his arms, he slowly trudged forward. As his vision was blocked, he had to tilt his head in order to see the road ahead. He put on an earnest expression as though he was resolved to finish this mission.
There was not a single onlooker who did not make way for them when they saw the two boys. Some of them even took out their mobile phones to take pictures and upload it to Weibo with a caption saying, “They're so cute! I wish I could take them home with me!”
Baili Shangxie disregarded the bystanders. He merely thought that it was strange to be surrounded by a group of adults as all he could see were their legs that resembled the roasted turkey legs. If he lost his patience, he might grab one of them and chew on them.
However, since he was carrying Little Qingchen, Baili Shangxie had no more hand to spare. Hence, he continued to play as the caring elder brother along the way.
Even Baili Shangxie might not have realized that he was more gentle than ever when he was taking care of Little Qingchen.
When they got off the train, the black crows flocked together and perched on the branches near the railroad.
There were so many birds and the workers were not able to shoo them away. Besides, they were also too afraid to do so. After all, black crows are nothing like sparrows. This was a rare scene. However, it was common to see black crows at night at the sustainable campus overseas.
Meanwhile, this was an unprecedented episode at Mainland China, where the railroads were covered with black feathers.
The people who were exiting the station could not help but turn to look at the black crows.
Helian Wei Wei was standing on the other side of the railway. The BMW Tomahawk was a brilliant automobile. Coupled with Helian Wei Wei's superb driving skills, she sped forward, flew across the railroad and landed on the opposite tar road. A red sports car was parked there. The driver seemed to be waiting for someone. He was engrossed in his phone when the superbike landed before him. Its wheel drew a perfect curve on the ground at the speed of light.
“That was so cool!”
“Are they shooting a movie?”
“Did that bike come from the sky? Is this a work of wires and pulley?”
“I don't think so.”
“These days, people feel the need to show off even if it's just a bike.”
“D*mn! Do you even know what bike is this? This is a BMW Tomahawk! Judging by the appearance, it's apparently a cla.s.sic one. I reckon that it has been very long since they last produced this bike. You can't buy this even if you have the money, idiot!”
The traffic around the train station became a mess because of the advent of the BMW Tomahawk. There were only a handful of people in this small town who knew about automobiles. Even in the bigger cities, everyone was more interested in sports cars while they a.s.sumed that all bikes were cheap, save Harley-Davidson.
This was also why many of the socialites thought Helian Wei Wei was exceptionally poor.
In fact, Helian Wei Wei's BMW Tomahawk, like what the driver mentioned, was a rare vehicle. It was not a model that anyone could buy.
Helian Wei Wei did not get off her bike. She went between the two sports cars as the night wind swept past her hair and clothes. With a fiery brake, she stopped at the train station's square. Her long legs supported her bike as she removed the helmet on her head.
The crowd had already been astonished by the previous scene. Now that Helian Wei Wei revealed her face, they were glued to the ground as they stared at her beautiful face, eyes widened and mouth agape.
Helian Wei Wei ignored the commotion she caused. Instead, she fixed her eyes on the flock of black crows as she raised her brows. There are so many black crows? A little demon's power should not be enough to maneuver so many black crows. Anyone who had learned the Yin and Yang of exorcism would know that the black crows were, in fact, the true manifestation of demons. After they evolved into demons, then only they would be able to take the form of a human and become magical beings that were avoided by the Blood Tribe even.
Black crows were an ancient and elegant tribe. They were common in England and usually lived in castles. However, it was almost impossible for them to appear in China and in such a large number, unless an influential figure was approaching them…
In the train station, Baili Shangxie was still carrying Little Qingchen as they made their way out. As he staggered forward, he appeared like a humpty dumpty.
After Little Qingchen rubbed his eyes, he was finally awake. He turned to look at the exit. He thought to himself, is pretty Wei Wei here yet?
“What is your mother wearing?” Baili Shangxie asked in a charismatic manner.
Little Qingchen paused and said, “It doesn't matter what she is wearing. Her vehicle is very distinguished…”
The two little kids' vision were completely blocked by the adults. Even if Baili Shangxie was not carrying Little Qingchen, it would still be hard for him to see through the crowd.
It was a different story for the human trafficker though. His tactical formation was set right opposite to the exit. He could see the duo, who were walking toward the staircase hand in hand, at first glance. He could not see the elder one clearly, but the little one was obviously the boy who had nearly gotten him into trouble!
