The sky was clear and the air crisp, the sun like a flowing, dazzling golden sphere, casting clean, bright light from between the pure white clouds and the azure sky. The morning light here had always been so beautiful, from ancient times to the present, which is why it was called Liming City.
However, although the long night had passed, the traces left by the residents in the darkness were not so easy to dissipate. On the streets near Xiang Niangzi Cave, water trucks sprayed like high-pressure water guns, washing away the new graffiti on the street from last night. In front, sanitation workers grumbled and cursed as they swept up the garbage scattered everywhere.
In the shadows of the corner, several drunkards lay sprawled out, sleeping soundly. It looked like they wouldn't wake up until the afternoon. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
From a distance, a girl with a serious expression walked out of the Xiang Niangzi Cave area, carrying large and small bags of luggage. She stopped on the side of the street, and behind her followed three children with red-rimmed eyes.
From the small building deep within Xiang Niangzi Cave to the side of this street, Fei Liang hesitated the whole way. Finally, he mustered up the courage and asked Hua Xieyu, "Sister Hua, can't we not be sent away?"
Hua Xieyu opened her mouth, repeatedly wanting to speak but stopping herself several times. Then, she grinned and slapped Fei Liang on the back of the head, saying, "You little brat, it's rare for someone kind to be willing to take care of you. Why are you so insensible?"
"Do you know? The place you're going this time is on the east bank of the Thames River. Besides studying and living, you can visit the Greenwich Observatory anytime."
"You like those stars the most, don't you? Now you can see them to your heart's content."
Fei Liang looked at Hua Xieyu's profile, his eyes shining with fervent light, but it quickly dimmed. He mumbled, "If I have to leave everyone, leave Sister Hua, I..."
"Fatty, what the hell do you know! This woman Hua just doesn't want us anymore!" Before Fei Liang could finish speaking, Xiao Feifei interrupted, glaring at Hua Xieyu as he spoke.
"She probably finally realized that we're a burden, right? Since she doesn't want us anymore, why should we shamelessly follow her?" "You little brat, you're not allowed to talk about Sister Hua like that!" A-Tian grabbed Xiao Feifei's ear and yelled at him fiercely, "Sister Hua is clearly doing this for our own good!"
"When we achieve something in the future and make a lot of money, Sister Hua will take us back." As she spoke, she turned to look at Hua Xieyu, "Am I right, Sister Hua?"
Hua Xieyu looked at A-Tian, seeing those eyes full of expectation, as if she were looking at the sun, unable to look directly. She avoided A-Tian's gaze, smiled, and mumbled in response, "Mhm, mhm!"
I'm sorry, A-Tian, if possible, I hope you leave and never return to this damned place.
Hua Xieyu said to herself in her heart, looking gently at the sulking Xiao Feifei, and vigorously rubbed his head. "So, you have to work hard. In the place you're going, there are many other trainees. You have to be proficient in singing, dancing, and rap to surpass them."
Xiao Feifei rolled his eyes, "Got it, got it, you're so annoying!" Ten minutes later.
A black van stopped by the roadside and picked up the three children.
Hua Xieyu stood by the roadside, watching the car drive away, finally disappearing from sight, heading towards an unknown place. She sighed silently.
Footsteps came from behind her; someone was approaching.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the man who appeared behind her, raised her chin, and said seriously, "Let's go, let's set off! Where is the person you mentioned?"
"The man looked at Hua Xieyu's profile and asked somewhat doubtfully, "Don't we need to wait for them to get there and observe for a while?" "No need." Hua Xieyu pouted, "The sooner we go, the sooner we return!"
In fact, when the man brought the Sun Gang leader to meet her last night, she had already basically believed the man.
Afterward, for safety, she also asked someone to investigate those educational charity funds, which added a few points of credibility to the man's promise.
It seems that this job really has to be done by me.
Since that's the case, it might be better to be a little more proactive. Business is about sincerity! At worst, it's just the word "death"; anyway, I have a worthless life.
In Hua Xieyu's opinion, if she could exchange her small life for the bright future of the children, it would be worth it.
The man silently watched Hua Xieyu for a moment, then quietly opened the briefcase in his hand and handed a file bag to her. "The place you are going is Hua City. Inside are the plane ticket and documents corresponding to your new identity."
"There's also a mobile phone. After you get there, someone will contact you. If you encounter any problems or need any support, you can talk to him."
"Then how do I find the target?" Hua Xieyu asked, "You're asking me to go fish for a rich guy, you have to at least tell me where to find him, right?"
"Don't worry." The man explained, "I have a friend who has long been dedicated to researching human emotions. He will make the arrangements."
In fact, among the subordinate organizations of the Eclipse Society, besides those like the Black Sun Brothers Technology Association that study the existence of Psychic and urban legend from a biological perspective, there is also the Heliocentric Society, composed of dozens of the world's top psychologists, which studies the psychological problems of Psychic and urban legend.
Unbeknownst to them, matchmaking a man and a woman is a trivial matter for the Heliocentric Society, which has hundreds or even thousands of successful cases of brainwashing and defecting Night Watch operatives and high-level urban legend.
Again with the "I have a friend"?
Your friends are all so powerful, how come you're so... Hua Xieyu rolled her eyes.
"Have you heard a saying?" The man suddenly spoke, "When two people are destined to fall in love, the whole world will create opportunities for them."
His tone when he spoke was strange, as if deliberately trying to create a romantic atmosphere, but he failed, and failed completely.
Hua Xieyu only felt greasy.
"You didn't have to say that last sentence," she said, "Do you know? I feel like someone just force-fed me two large spoonfuls of lard."
The man, ""
While the man was silent, Hua Xieyu took the file bag he handed her, gave him an "OK" gesture, and said, "Since you said so, I'll be leaving now. See you!"
With that, she walked along the street towards the airport bus station for the Liming City night market and quickly disappeared at the end of the street—
On the plane from Shizhou City to Hua City.
When the broadcast announced that the plane had taken off smoothly and WiFi was available, Lu Yibei took out her phone, found a friend in her QQ chat software friend list whose avatar was a night view of Bu Ye Street, and sent a message.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: T/doge】"
That seemingly obnoxious dog head emoji, like some kind of secret code, was quickly followed by a string of messages from the other party after receiving it.
Mumu Jinxin: "1. Almost all of the Pink Fluffy Rabbit followers in Shizhou City have been taken away by the Night Watch in the past week, their whereabouts unknown. 2. The Tulip Club in Amsterdam recently held a float parade. Among the participating floats was a pirate ship-shaped float with Pink Fluffy Rabbit ears, which was quite popular.
3. Recently, the Night Watch, Eclipse Society, Miracle Order, and a large number of overt and covert Psychic organizations are all paying attention to Yumen Pass, for unknown reasons.
4. The Alchemy materials you wanted have been found. Once the price is negotiated, they can be bought and sent to Hua City..."
17. I have contacted several Psychic who have been to Liao Zhai Tavern, and have not found any common characteristics on them for the time being." Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Thanks!"
The person with the ID "Mumu Jinxin" was none other than Lin Nian, who called herself the Shizhou City Baixiaosheng.
Kind reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (screenshots are recommended for saving). We apologize for the inconvenience caused!
Lu Yibei resolved the Pink Fluffy Rabbit crisis, indirectly helped her avenge Grandpa Three, and even used Directional Soul Summoning to let her see her Grandpa Three for the last time. She was so grateful that she almost offered herself to him.
But
Lu Yibei always felt that "offering oneself" was not a reward at all, but revenge. So he preferred others to work like oxen and horses.
The kind that don't need grass!
Thus, Lin Nian gained a part-time job—an informant for Disaster.
Although Lu Yibei could obtain almost all the information he wanted through the Night Watch and the Monster Story Chat Group.
However, obtaining information from the Night Watch carried the risk of revealing his identity, and the Monster Story Chat Group charged quite high fees. If possible, Lu Yibei still wanted other sources of information.
Bu Ye Street is a large gathering place for Psychic, with a very complete intelligence network. And Lin Nian, an information dealer who has long been active in Bu Ye Street, is an unusually professional informant!
"Young man, can you help me with this WiFi?"
Just as Lu Yibei exited the QQ software and was about to log in to the Night Watch forum to see if any major events had happened recently, a slightly hoarse voice entered her ears.
Following the sound, she took a deep breath. She was startled.
A sense of decadence assailed her, with thick dark circles under her cloudy and numb eyes, and a pale face as if she could die at any moment.
It was an old woman who resembled a thousand corpses, but Lu Yibei always felt that she was more like a social animal who had worked overtime for a week and was about to be squeezed dry.
But, this old woman looked like she was seventy or eighty years old, right?
At such an old age, does she still have to work late into the night?
Has society become this 'involutionary' now?" "Young man?"
The old woman called out softly again, and only then did Lu Yibei recover her thoughts. She took the phone from her hand, lowered her head and fiddled with it, connecting to the WiFi in a few quick steps. She quickly handed the phone back.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but when she saw the old woman, she inexplicably had a bad premonition. "Thank you, young man, you're really a good person."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to have too much to do with the old woman. She was worried that the old woman would die in her arms, and even more worried that the person was one of her predestined partners. What the hell kind of twisted twilight romance!
However, although it was a bit absurd, what if?
Generally speaking, when a "good person card" is issued, it means that a relationship has ended. However, this theory does not apply to the elderly.
If an elderly person thinks you are a "good person", they are very likely to automatically switch to a "matchmaker" mode, wishing they could introduce you to the daughter of their neighbor's second uncle.
Unfortunately, Lu Yibei met such an old woman." "Young man, what's your name?"
"Lu, Lu Yibei."
"Good name, good name!" The old woman smiled and nodded, "How old are you this year?" "Nineteen."
Subconsciously answering the old woman's question, Lu Yibei frowned. Strange, why did this conversation feel so familiar?
"Nineteen? Still studying, right? Then where do you go to school?" the old woman asked again.
Don't you use your phone? If you don't use your phone, why are you connecting to WiFi? Lu Yibei mumbled inwardly, answering expressionlessly, "Huacheng Institute of Technology."
"Li Gong University?" A flash of excitement flickered in the old woman's cloudy eyes. "Li Gong University is good! My granddaughter is also a student at Li Gong University."
"Young man, my granddaughter is coming to pick me up later. Shall I introduce you? I think you'll get along and can become friends."
"Let me tell # Nоvеlight # you, my granddaughter is excellent. She studies well, is kind-hearted, and beautiful too." Lu Yibei, ""
Is it starting? I knew it!
No, I kindly helped you connect to WiFi, why are you trying to harm me?
Damn it, when I get to Hua City later, I have to leave quickly. I must not get entangled with this old woman. At this time, Lu Yibei finally understood where that ominous premonition came from. She had no interest in the granddaughter the old woman was talking about.
Not only did she have no interest, but she also completely disbelieved any description the old woman gave of that Miss.
In a place like Huacheng Institute of Technology, a girl who is truly "beautiful, kind-hearted, and studies well" wouldn't need her Grandma to introduce her to others, right?
She would have been eyed by countless restless young men long ago, and her reputation would be well-known, right?
Of course, Lu Yibei didn't think the old woman was lying, but the old woman must love her granddaughter very much, and this "love" would invisibly add a filter to her granddaughter.
Slimming, whitening, big eyes, skin smoothing, with all kinds of special effects maxed out. What's more, I already have Meow sauce, Lu Yibei thought.
She really wanted to tell the old woman straightforwardly that she already had a "girlfriend".
But the old woman's current mindset was like having a treasure in her palm, unable to resist showing it off, boasting about it, and sharing it with others, but not necessarily actually giving the treasure to others.
At this time, suddenly saying something like "I already have a girlfriend" would appear very self-important and could very well be a terrible social death.
Therefore, at this time, a different approach is needed.
"Look, this is my granddaughter." The old woman found a photo on her phone and handed it to Lu Yibei. "Grandma, actually, I have a boyfriend. He doesn't like me getting close to other girls." Almost simultaneously, Lu Yibei spoke. Thus, the hand holding the phone stiffened slightly, suspended between the two.
The old woman, "???"
The phone displayed a photo of a girl.
She had a delicate and small round face, beautiful eyes that even glasses couldn't hide, long black and shiny hair, and was wearing a pure white dress. She was walking on the Flower Avenue, holding a thick poetry collection, and when she looked back, her smile was as beautiful as flowers.
Lu Yibei, "???"
Oh, I actually misjudged?
Okay! I admit the old woman's granddaughter is very beautiful, only slightly less so than Leader.
But being beautiful doesn't mean I have to interact with her, right? Lu Yibei thought.
