It's noisy here, and other places are not quiet either.
Huaguosu City, City Hall.
Director's Office.
Ye Ming and Lin Miao put their heads together, watching the video playing on the mobile phone screen on the table. The director, who had already finished watching, stood by the window and looked at the empty space downstairs, his face solemn.
Luo Xiling sat on the sofa in the middle of the room, holding the Yueming Sword in both hands, mumbling something incomprehensible.
"Director." Ye Ming raised his head, "I can confirm the authenticity."
"Yes." The director nodded and turned around. "They are progressing very quickly, at least faster than us. We must speed up."
After saying that, the director looked around the room and asked, "Where are Zhao Qi and Yue Ruo?"
"Uh..." Lin Miao scratched her head, "Sister Yue is busy looking for the person who received the token of entry, Brother Zhao..."
"What's up with him?"
"He seems to be having some conflicts with Taoist priests and monks lately."
"Huh?" The director looked puzzled. He obviously didn't understand why Zhao Qi would cause trouble for the Taoist priests and monks.
"Call him and tell him to come back."
"Yes!"
Chapter 200 Are you free? Go to Yingguo to grab tickets
When Zhao Qi hurried to the director's office, he saw Luo Xiling who was "burning incense".
I don't know where this girl found the altar from. She placed the Yueming Sword horizontally on the table with a wooden sword stand, and also placed an incense burner with three smoking bamboo incense sticks in it.
Looking at Luo Xiling kneeling in front of the table and kowtowing devoutly, Zhao Qi was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Sacrifice."
“Why do we need to offer sacrifices?”
Luo Xiling's face was serious: "After returning from the top of the mountain, I have been trying to chop out the sword of my master, but I always fail."
"So you burn incense?"
"Have a relationship with the sword spirit."
"Xu Xianren didn't say that the Moonlight Sword had a sword spirit?"
"Let her be." The director interrupted the two and asked, "Why do you look for Taoist priests and monks every day?"
“They cheated me out of money!”
"Alright, alright."
Waving his hand to stop Zhao Qi from complaining, the director first recounted the story of the Hogwarts documentary, and then asked:
"You and Yue Ruo are responsible for finding the disciple that Immortal Xu has taken a fancy to. Do you have any news?"
"Director." Hearing this, Zhao Qi made a bitter face, "I've been searching for half a month, but I haven't found the root of the hair. I guess Xuxian hasn't released the token yet."
Ye Ming stood up and said, “I think so too.
With the speed at which information spreads on the Internet, even a little rumor can spread across the country in a short period of time."
This is a very well-founded opinion and the director agrees with it.
But it was obvious that he had come into contact with the "supernormal" first, but someone else had taken the lead in learning about the "supernormal". Moreover, he had no idea what the relationship was between the other party's magician and the cultivator on his side, so it was inevitable that the director felt anxious.
He pondered for a while: "Ye Ming, what you said makes sense, but we can't just sit there and wait... and I doubt whether the person who got the token is likely to be in a remote area with an underdeveloped economy."
Perhaps seeing what he was worried about, Ye Ming smiled and said, "Director is worried that they will master supernatural powers before us, and will it pose a threat to us?"
"inevitable."
“I think there’s no need to rush this.”
"How to say?"
Organizing the language in his mind, Ye Ming began to explain: "We once mentioned the matter of the magician to Xuxian, and Xuxian said that they dare not come."
"I believe in the Immortal Xu."
The director crossed his arms over his chest and said, "But we can't always passively wait for Xuxianren to help us solve our problems. Otherwise, how will Xuxianren see us?"
Feeling that what the director said was right, Ye Ming thought: "Then let's do this.
Before meeting Xu Xianren again, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau conducted investigations in villages across the country that had difficulty communicating, including mountain villages that had no internet access and were isolated from the outside world. "
This is undoubtedly a task with a huge workload, but as the director said, it always looks like a child waiting to be fed by its parents. What does Xuxianren think of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau?
"There is no time to lose, do it immediately."
"Yes."
Ye Ming walked out of the house: "Xiao Miao, contact Sister Yue immediately. Luo Xiling, stop knocking. Follow the working group to the countryside.
You have the Moonlight Sword, so perhaps you will react to the token of the Immortal Xu.
Brother Zhao..."
Speaking of Zhao Qi, the director suddenly said, "Isn't he very idle?
I just happened to be thinking that Hogwarts should also take a look at the situation, so let him go to Yingguo to grab tickets."
"This... that Brother Zhao..."
"I'll go, I'll go." Zhao Qi patted his butt and went out of the house, probably to buy a plane ticket.
……
Three days later, it was Lundun.
The Queen's magic show is under intense preparation, and the five people have not received any practice notice yet. Anyway, there is nothing to prepare for this thing.
They were just freshmen and had learned limited things, just a few simple magics.
Besides, apart from the time with Dumbledore, magic has never been demonstrated in reality. If something was really not right when it was performed, how could the audience tell?
Do you understand what the “final right of interpretation” means?
Therefore, these days, the five of them are resting at home.
Toby went home to be with his wife and daughter. After all, he was a family man and couldn't go anywhere alone like Leon.
The reason why Lyon didn't stay at home was because of the quarrel with Claysey.
The two men engaged in a heated debate over who to pledge allegiance to.
Clancy said that Suleiman was the prince of the Kingdom of Ying and the legal next in line to the throne.
The agreement signed by him and others was to work for the royal family. Isn't Suleiman a member of the royal family?
Lyon angrily accused him of talking nonsense that ignored the facts, as the agreement clearly stated that he was loyal to the queen.
The two sides were evenly matched in the argument, and Lyon slammed the door and left in anger, finding a hotel to stay in.
Afterwards, perhaps because he felt bored staying in the room every day, he went out to wander the streets.
But the streets of London at this time are not suitable for sightseeing.
Pushed to the side of the road by a group of people marching with banners, Lyon, who hadn't been paying attention to the news, was a little confused as to what they were protesting against.
I stopped a passerby and asked, only to find out that they were asking the royal family to open the ticket sales channel for the magic show.
For some reason, despite the huge outcry from the public, the royal family turned a blind eye and has been reluctant to announce how to obtain the tickets.
In response to this, someone posted a short article online, saying that the seats must have been occupied by the powerful and wealthy.
It fits the image of greedy nobles that people imagine.
The outcry for support was loud for a while, and then it intensified.
At the call of an anonymous netizen, the residents of London printed banners, put on custom-made coats, opened their doors and went out onto the streets, forming a mighty procession like streams converging.
After checking the news, Lyon put his phone back in his pocket and looked at the group passing by. He guessed that there were probably more than just London residents, but also quite a few tourists from other places and even foreign countries.
He even saw Asian faces.
The other person's expression was very strange, full of struggle, as if he was being swept forward by the crowd.
After watching for a while, he found that the man was trying hard to squeeze out of the team. Lyon suddenly realized that it was not a likeness!
He rushed to the edge of the crowd and stretched out his hand, and the man understood and grabbed it.
"I'm so fucked!" The man who was dragged out by Leon uttered something in Chinese that Leon couldn't understand.
But judging from his angry expression, he was probably cursing.
"Thank you, you helped me a lot." After the man finished cursing, he changed to whimpering to express his gratitude to him.
Can whimper.
Leon breathed a sigh of relief: “No, it’s just a small matter.
Um, how did you get caught up in the parade?"
Marches are not riots and generally avoid downtown areas.
They also use loudspeakers so that uninformed pedestrians can spot them from a distance and go to the roadside in advance.
Normally, others will not be dragged into the team.
That's why Leon just stood there in a daze until he saw the man trying to push his way out, then he reacted and came to help.
"Don't mention it, I fucking ..." Perhaps because he felt it was rude to swear at a stranger, especially one who was helping him, the man stopped talking and introduced himself, "My name is Zhao Qi, what's your name?"
"Leon."
"Are you from London?"
"Yes."
"That's great!
I have something to consult you about, and I want to thank you for your help. Can I treat you to a meal?"
"Uh, I'm fine."
