Feeling a little uneasy, Luo Xiling took off the Yueming Sword from behind and held it in her arms: "No matter where we go, we can't just wander around like this, right?"
"Let's deal with the hair first."
Ye Ming took out the bag given by Senior Brother Zhou from his backpack and opened it. Inside were some mission supplies.
After rummaging through a pile of things for a while, I finally found the map.
He spread out the map and his eyes wandered over it: "Jewelry store, jewelry store, jewelry... Got it, follow me."
Ye Ming had an excellent memory. He simply tucked the map under his arm and turned left and right in this small town with a huge terrain difference. He crossed the alleys from time to time, walked along the main road for a while, and stopped in front of a shop with its door closed.
He looked up at the sign to make sure he was in the right place, then he went up and knocked on the door. "Shopkeeper, is anyone there?"
No one in the store responded, only the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor.
Seeing this, Luo Xiling said in a gentle tone: "Shopkeeper, we are not bad people."
Perhaps because he heard the woman's voice and felt that it was not the evil spirit that had been wreaking havoc for many days, the owner's footsteps slowly approached the door.
"crunch-"
Chapter 293 You are monsters!
NH coast, mountains.
Inside the mountain base, the director was busy at the computer desk in his room.
"咚咚-"
"Enter."
The director turned his head and saw that it was Lin Miao who walked in. He turned his attention back to the computer screen: "Xiao Miao, why are you back too?"
"Brother Ye..." She stood behind the director, "I was worried about his safety, so I went home to see my parents and quickly took a plane back."
"Don't worry, we have Immortal Xu..."
"Knock, knock—" A knock on the door interrupted him, "Come in."
"Director." Yue Ruo opened the door holding a stack of documents and said as he entered the room, "I've already informed you about the public's reaction to the video... Hey, Xiao Miao?"
"Sister Yue."
Yue Ruo gave him a look, indicating that she would go to her room to talk later, and then put the file next to the mouse: "It is roughly consistent with the director's expectations.
The public kept urging for follow-up.”
"Ok.
Abroad, especially in China."
"Over there..." She scratched her face, "The reaction is quite subtle."
The director turned his chair to face her and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"They are very concerned. After all, Ying Country and we are the only two countries on Blue Star that have extraordinary people appearing.
It just feels like Yingguo is not too panicked and seems to be confident. "
"Confidence..." The director pinched his chin in thought, "Hogwarts?"
"I guess so."
After thinking for a while, the director waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them. Hogwarts is under the hammer of Xuxianren anyway.
We just need to move forward steadily, and when Ye Ming's training is finished, we can announce the progress."
He was very confident, but Yue Ruo looked worried: "The plan is fine, but... can we get the training process?"
"Don't worry, Ye Ming and I have explained it to you."
The director patted his chest as he said this, but secretly felt somewhat guilty.
During the three-day holiday, Xuxianren did not show up. When they saw him, the six of them set off again immediately. There was no time to confirm with Ye Ming whether the matter was done.
As for why he acted so confident.
First, judging from the aerial photos of the town taken by Xuxianren, his request would not be rejected.
Second, as a leader, he has long been accustomed to maintaining a calm image in front of his subordinates.
Sure enough, seeing him like this, Yue Ruo's frown relaxed: "Then I'll go first, Xiao Miao, let's go..."
The phone next to the director's right hand holding the mouse suddenly rang.
Glancing at the incoming call number, he suddenly stood up and picked up the phone: "Old Chief!"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"Uh, I don't quite understand..."
"Don't you know what you did?"
After realizing it was about the video, the director's nervous expression suddenly relaxed: "Hey, I thought something else happened.
Don't worry, old leader, there will be absolutely no mistakes."
"No mistakes? Absolutely?
"Have you considered whether the mission might lead to the inadvertent disclosure of intelligence? Will the enemy be able to find out the truth?"
After being scolded, the director was not panicked at all and said calmly: "Xu Xianren said it's okay."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then the old leader's calm voice came: "Well, you did a good job, and it is worth my careful teaching in the past. Put everything else aside for the next few days.
Just focus on getting this done.”
"Yes!"
"Okay, I'll hang up...By the way, remember to send me a copy of the video when it comes out."
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, the director waved his hand and sent Yue Ruo and the other man away.
After the door closed with a click, he sat back in the chair and rubbed his nose with his hand: "Ye Ming... I'm counting on you, don't let me down.
If I can’t get the video, the director will tear me apart.”
…………
"Strange, why do I feel like someone is thinking about me?"
In a jewelry store, Ye Ming leaned against a half-person-high counter and suddenly shivered all over.
Luo Xiling sat in front of an antique dressing mirror, and the charming proprietress stood behind her, combing her hair.
Hearing Ye Ming's muttering, she smiled without turning her head and said, "Sister Xiao Miao must be missing you. Hurry up and touch your ears to see if they are hot."
"You keep talking nonsense all day long. Stop moving around, or your hair will fall apart again."
"Oh."
After suppressing Luo Xiling, Ye Ming looked at the three young men on the other side.
They no longer dress like modern people. Their short hair has become long hair, and they wear hair crowns and tie their long hair into ponytails that drag down to their waists.
One of them felt uncomfortable and scratched his hairline: "Brother Ye, where did you get this wig?"
"I knew I needed to... so I asked the director to prepare a few for me."
"Brother Ye is still very careful." Luo Xiling, who had finished, came over and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful?"
"Senior Sister, you are pretty." The three of them immediately flattered her. Even the girl who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror took time out of her busy schedule to say something.
"Hehe." She happily touched the bun on her head with her palm and asked, "Brother Ye, we..."
As soon as she said this, Ye Ming interrupted her with a fixed look in his eyes. At the same time, he looked at the proprietress who was fiddling with her hair with her back to him. The few of them didn't understand what was going on and shut their mouths.
There was a sudden silence behind her. The proprietress felt strange. She subconsciously raised her eyelids to look at the bronze mirror, but her gaze met Ye Ming's scrutinizing gaze.
Feeling the other person's gaze was very oppressive, she lowered her head hurriedly, and her hands, which had slowed down slightly due to distraction, speeded up again, even with a hint of haste.
Seeing this, Luo Xiling suddenly realized what was going on and ran to Ye Ming, whispering, "Is it her?"
When he came to his senses, he looked puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about?
We have just arrived in the town and haven't even started the preliminary investigation. How can I determine the identity of the murderer? "
"Then why are you staring at her so fiercely?"
"Um, did I look vicious just now?"
Luo Xiling raised her thumb and pointed over her shoulder at the three young men behind her: "Ask them."
Ye Ming looked over and the three of them nodded sincerely.
He was a little embarrassed and walked closer to the proprietress: "Sorry, I was just thinking about some personal things, so..."
"Sir, there is no need to do this. It was my fault for being rash.
Here, it is done. "
The girl stood up and happily admired herself in the bronze mirror: "What a great craftsmanship!"
"Excessive praise."
It seemed that the proprietress was a little frightened. Ye Ming didn't know whether it was because of his unfriendly look just now, or the influence of the recent evil incident.
Probably both.
When the job was done, the other person was very scared, so he didn't waste any more words, just asked the price and took out a piece of change to pay.
The proprietress went behind the counter and took out a handful of copper coins from the drawer, about twenty coins, and gave them change to a few people.
Ye Ming took it, thanked him, and led the five newly dressed people out of the store and turned right.
The main road of the town is built along the hillside, so there are steps every few steps. You need to be focused when walking to avoid stepping on empty steps, but it is still spacious enough for six people to walk side by side.
The five men's swords were wrapped tightly in linen and held in their arms.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, with only the sound of footsteps echoing. Luo Xiling felt a little uneasy, and she tightened her arms and hugged the Yueming Sword tightly:
"Brother Ye, where are we going?"
