Chapter 122 Fishing Village, Demon Appears
Their identities have been frozen, and they now have to use their ID cards on most of the more developed modes of transportation in China.
Even without an ID card, you still have a mobile phone, and you can use an electronic ID card on your mobile phone.
These "old sixth-generation mentors" not only confiscated their ID cards, but also their cell phones, leaving them a group of people without identities.
No matter what they do, they must avoid the police. If they are caught by the police, the National Government Team instructor will have to come and take them away, and then their training will be considered a failure.
The consequences of failing the training are severe, because the National Government Team has other alternative teams besides theirs. If they fail, there will be plenty of people in the alternative teams who want to join.
"If that's the case, even if we find a ship to Japan, wouldn't we still be considered illegal immigrants?" Mu Nujiao said.
"Yes, so we'd better not get caught. If we do, we'll have to reveal our identities. Once we do, our training mission will be considered a failure, and we'll be replaced by someone from the backup team... Usually, replacements start with the substitutes." Jiang Shaoxu said, glancing at the four substitutes in the team.
"Let's go to the fishing village first and ask around," Ai Jiangtu said.
He was appointed captain by the five mentors, and everyone in the team had to follow his orders.
Once Ai Jiangtu spoke, everyone stopped chattering and headed towards the backward little fishing village.
The small fishing village wasn't far away. Passing through the seemingly non-existent grass fence, you could see a dozen or so low, flat old houses made of wood and stone. Over the years, the sea winds had eroded them, making them look somewhat damp.
The group of fourteen people entered the fishing village in a grand procession, but they ended up seeing fewer people in the village than they had come.
The children squatting by the door playing in the mud had probably never seen so many young and beautiful older brothers and sisters before. They blinked their eyes, and when the children got closer, they ran back into the house in a flash, hiding by the window and peeking out.
"It's you again! Don't think we're easy to bully just because we're poor and uneducated. Let me tell you, this old man isn't one to be trifled with!" An old man in slippers, his skin dark, rushed out, carrying a rowing paddle.
The old man stood in a horse stance, his eyes gleaming, his strong, capable hands gripping the oars tightly, looking ready to fight them to the death.
Seemingly encouraged by the old man, several young men from the fishing village also rushed out carrying their belongings.
There were only about seven or eight people, not many.
The young men seemed to have never seen such striking girls before; their eyes were practically glued to them.
They thought the village beauty who had married out of the village was already the most beautiful woman in the world, but they never expected that there would be someone even more beautiful and with fairer skin!
"Uncle, I think there's some misunderstanding. This is our first time here," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Stop pretending! They're building a few cement houses that look like resettlement housing, and then they let those wavering villagers try to persuade us all to move there. They even say it's for our own good, but they're just after this land!" the old man cursed.
The group of people who came were indeed well-dressed; after all, to become a member of the National Team, one must be either rich or noble.
Even if they come from ordinary families, they are all mages, and it's no big deal for them to make a sum of money with their own abilities.
The old man could tell that these people were not ordinary, but he felt that no one but those unscrupulous developers could come here.
"We're an independent tour group, traveling along this coastline to Beitou. We're here to ask where there's a relatively large port," Nan Jue said.
"It's an unlicensed tour group," the old man nodded in realization. He had thought it was one of the developers.
He then pointed out the way for everyone: walk along the sea reef, and after crossing a large bay, you will see Bird Harbor.
After thanking them, they left the fishing village without stopping and walked along the rocks towards Fei Niao Port.
They hadn't gone far when a skinny boy caught up with them, panting heavily.
"You guys walk really fast! It took me ages to catch up with you, even running like this," the skinny boy panted.
Mo Fan, who was walking behind, smiled. They were all mages, and their physical abilities were definitely stronger than those of ordinary people.
Although they walk, they move much faster than ordinary people.
"What's wrong?" Mo Fan asked.
"Here's the thing, there have been reports from other places recently that sea monsters have been spotted on the coast, causing serious damage in many areas. So when you're on your way, you should stay away from the coastline to avoid encountering sea monsters," the skinny boy said.
"Isn't this the safe zone? How come there are sea monsters here?" Jiang Shaoxu stroked the beauty mark on her lips, deliberately teasing the skinny boy, and stuck out her lips at him.
The young man, still possessing some composure, earnestly stated, "It's been a while, but I don't know why the higher-ups haven't sent anyone to exorcise the demon. I heard that people from several fishing villages next door haven't returned from their fishing trips."
"We're not afraid of sirens, young man. Why don't you lead the way for us and take us to the port? I'll reward you!" Jiang Shaoxu tapped the young man's shoulder with her finger and said with a smile.
"Well..." The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Alright, anyway, the village chief won't let us go out fishing, so there's nothing to do in the village."
"If you don't fish, what will you eat?" Mo Fan asked.
"We'll just eat our stockpiles, but I doubt they'll last much longer. We'll take advantage of this trip to Asuka City to ask the higher-ups when they'll get rid of the roaming sea monsters. If the sea monsters aren't eliminated, we won't be able to go out fishing," the big boy said.
"What do you need them for? You just guide me, and I'll get rid of the sea monster for you. It's a piece of cake," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"I'll lead the way for you, but as for the sea monster... forget it. I heard from Da Hu in the next village that the sea monster is four or five meters tall and can swallow half of our fishing boat in one gulp. It's terrifying!" the big boy said earnestly.
Jiang Shaoxu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Through subsequent conversation, it was learned that the boy's name was Liu Meng, and he had only attended school for a few years before going out to sea to fish with his family.
Led by Liu Meng, the group headed towards Asuka City.
It's seventy or eighty li (about 35-40 kilometers), and it would take some time to walk there.
Liu Meng had no idea that this group of people were highly skilled mages, whose ordinary steps concealed different types of magic, making their pace relatively fast.
Liu Meng was exhausted from the journey, while Ai Jiangtu felt that this was a waste of time.
Fortunately, some roads were difficult to travel, requiring Liu Meng to lead the way; otherwise, given his speed, he would probably have been left far behind.
