Stephen woke up in a daze, opened his eyes to see a ray of moonlight shining on his face through the window, and moved his eyes to find himself locked in a small, dirty room with a dusty floor and cobwebs all over the roof, and I don't know how long no one had been here.

"Oh, it hurts." Stephen groaned, but found that the sound was not coming out, because his mouth was stuck with duct tape, and his hands and feet were tied firmly with rope.

Soul is weak, these guys are really ruthless!

Stephen cursed in his heart, and at the same time felt glad that he was still alive.

After struggling to sit up, Stephen leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief, his ears listening to the movement around him.

Quiet, very quiet, with the occasional ethereal sound of the waves, and a damp smell of salty water in the air.

By the sea, I must be by the sea.

Immediately afterward, Stephen saw a tattered poster on the wall.

The poster is already a little yellowed, it looks like it was pasted in the last century, at least ten years old, and it is painted with a general imposing ship.

The shipyard, I'm in a shipyard near the sea, and judging by the dilapidated environment, this shipyard has been out of business for some time.

Stephen gathered some useful clues and closed his eyes to his arm, and suddenly, his arm shrunk and the rope was loosened.

Bone reduction.

Stephen's martial arts cultivation is not high, but he can use the bone reduction technique that few people can use.

After escaping one hand from the bound rope, Stephen did not rush to untie the rope on his body, but rolled to the door and lay on the ground to look through the crack in the door.

A few feet walked back and forth not far from the door, but they didn't make any sound, so it was clear that they were all masters.

Stephen was sure that he wouldn't be a match for the men even if he did, and since the door was locked from the outside, the chances of him trying to escape were slim. In addition, the air window above his head is too small, even if he uses bone reduction surgery, he can't get out of the air window, and he may be caught by these people again.

After weighing the pros and cons, Stephen decided to come to the rescue.

He moved to the farthest distance from the door to make sure that his voice would not be heard by outsiders, and he kept his voice as low as possible.

"Hey, did anyone hear that?" Stephen reached out and whispered to the communicator hidden in his ear, "Did anyone hear me?" Hurry up and answer, I need help. ”

There was no response in the communicator, and Stephen called continuously for a while, and just when he wanted to give up, Zhao Guoqing's voice finally came.

"Stephen, where are you now?" Zhao Guoqing asked eagerly.

Stephen's eyes lit up, and the people became excited: "I've been arrested and locked up in an abandoned shipyard by the sea. "Didn't you say that you could find my location through this communicator?" Why haven't you come to save me yet? ”

"I'm sorry, I think there's probably nothing I can do about it." Zhao Guoqing replied apologetically but helplessly.

"Can't do anything? What do you mean by this, wanting to give up and save me? Stephen said incredulously, and continued, "Don't forget, you're a hunter mercenary group, and you and I have made a deal. If I die here, do you think anyone will look for you in the future? Hurry up and save me, do you hear me? ”

Zhao Guoqing still said helplessly: "I know, I know." Mr. Stephen, please calm down and listen to me first, okay? ”

Stephen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you say, you'd better give me a perfect explanation." ”

Zhao Guoqing said unhurriedly: "Mr. Stephen, we did sign an agreement with you to protect your safety. But.."

"But what?" Stephen exclaimed, a little annoyed.

Zhao Guoqing sighed lightly and said, "Stephen, don't you think you deliberately hid some important news from us?" He paused and spoke in an unforgivable and reproachful tone, "It is because of your concealment that my team has suffered important losses, and I believe that if this news spreads, people will not blame us, but will sympathize with us." So.. Please forgive me, Mr. Stephen, for not being able to do anything about it, and you are to blame for it all! ”

Stephen froze for a moment, remembering the explosion on the highway where more than half of the Hunter Mercenary Regiment was occupied.

My fault?

It's really my fault.

If I had told them the truth in the morning, they would have been on guard, and perhaps there would have been no tragedy on the highway.

Stephen began to blame himself, but more of a panic.

"No, don't. Head Guo, please listen to me! Stephen hurriedly shouted, for fear that Zhao Guoqing would just end the call and leave him here.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Zhao Guoqing asked with a curious look.

Stephen hurriedly said, "Captain Guo, if I tell you everything, are you willing to come and save me?" His voice fell slightly, and then he added, "Of course, I will give you an extra sum of money as compensation, as long as you can save me and continue to protect me!" ”

"This.." Zhao Guoqing deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It depends on whether you tell me everything." ”

"All, absolutely all!" Stephen exclaimed, and then began to talk incessantly.

It turned out that Stephen's grandfather was not an ordinary islander, but a ninja of the Koga faction. His name is Fuji Tai, the most legendary ninja of the last century, and there is no one.

Fuji Tai was seriously injured in a mission and was rescued by Stephen's grandmother during the trip, so a spark broke out between the two.

Later, Fuji Tai Hao left Stephen's grandmother for some reason, and was never seen again.

According to Stephen's grandmother, Fuji Tai had many enemies and left because she didn't want to bother her.

Before Fujitaro left, he left Stephen's grandmother a map, which is said to be the source of the treasure that Fujitaro had buried.

No one knows exactly what the treasure is, because Grandmother Stephen never looked for it.

However, there is a rumor in the outside world that as long as you find the treasure of Fuji Tai, you can get what Fuji Tai Hao has learned all his life and become the most famous ninja in the island country.

It is because of this that Stephen's grandmother was attacked and killed, and then there were repeated attacks and attempts to kidnap Stephen for the purpose of the treasure buried by Fuji Tai.

In addition to fulfilling his grandmother's last wish, Stephen's main purpose in coming to the island country this time is to find the treasure left by Fuji Tai.

"Head Guo, this is what the whole thing has happened. If you're willing to save me and help me find my grandfather's treasure, I'll pay you $10 million! Stephen preached eagerly, and even increased the honorarium tenfold, wanting to use money to impress Zhao Guoqing.

One thing Stephen got wrong, that is, Zhao Guoqing is by no means a person who can be bought with money.

However, Zhao Guoqing really didn't intend to leave Stephen alone, especially after learning that the other party's grandfather used to be a ninja of the Koga faction.

How to find the Koga faction was a clue for Zhao Guoqing, because the Koga ninjas were not like the Iga ninjas, who had been hidden behind the scenes of history since the Great War of the last century, and had rarely heard of them for decades.

Stephen undoubtedly provided an important clue, since so many people want to get the treasure of Fuji Tairo, the Koga ninja should be no exception, and perhaps the village of the Koga ninja can be found through Fuji Taro's treasure.

"Mr. Stephen, that's all?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Stephen hurriedly replied, "Yes, I've told you everything I know, I swear!" ”

"Did your grandfather really leave a treasure and give your grandmother a map of the treasure?" Zhao Guoqing then asked.

Stephen suddenly became alert, and said in a low voice: "Captain Guo, I can guarantee that what I said is true, and the map does exist. But I won't tell you where the map is until you rescue me! ”

This guy thinks too much.

Zhao Guoqing knew that Stephen mistakenly thought that he wanted to seize the treasure, so he just smiled, but did not give any explanation, but just said: "Mr. Stephen, don't worry, I will save you out." ”

"When?" Stephen asked hurriedly.

"Soon." Zhao Guoqing replied and ended the call.

In fact, Zhao Guoqing and the entire hunter mercenary group were near this abandoned shipyard, and they relied on the signal sent by Stephen's communicator to follow all the way here, but they didn't take action, deliberately waiting for Stephen to contact them and find out what the other party was hiding.

After ending the call, Zhao Guoqing tuned the communicator to another encrypted channel, which could only be heard by the members of the Hunter Mercenary Regiment.

"Susan, how's the scouting going?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Susan replied, "This should be a temporary base for the enemy, there are thirteen guards who can be seen, and there should be someone else in the building." I can deal with the people on the outside, and the people on the inside will have to rely on you. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Guoqing nodded in response.

"Are you going to get started?" Danny asked in a low voice.

Zhao Guoqing was just about to give an order, when Susan's voice suddenly came again.

"Wait, there's a car driving in." Susan preached.

"Danny." Zhao Guoqing turned around and shouted.

Danny immediately clicked a few clicks on the computer next to him, turned on the surveillance camera that everyone had placed during the previous reconnaissance, and found the car.

The car stopped in front of the building where Stephen was being held, and three people stepped out of the car, too far away to see each other.
