When the man and woman looked at Xu Le, both Xu Le and Ai Li noticed the strange gaze.
Their perception ability has been greatly improved compared to before, and this purposeful gaze can naturally be discovered.
"Hey, Xu Le, is someone watching you?"
Not only Ai Li and Xu Le himself, but even the toad noticed it. It took off its hat and started to look unfriendly.
"Yes, someone is watching me, but I don't know who it is."
Xu Le looked around and didn't find any suspicious people.
There are too many children here now, and for the sake of public opinion and the safe implementation of the plan, conflicts must not occur here.
So Xu Le could only wink at Ai Li.
"Let's go check it out together and keep our distance."
"good."
"Brother Gua, you are busy here, I will go and deal with the problem."
Toad nodded and pointed at the golden toad mark on Xu Le's hand.
"If you have any problem, just shout."
"clear."
…
Leaving the crowd, Xu Le and Ai Li began to wander around, trying to find the person who had followed him. However, after walking around the crowded square for a few rounds, neither of them found anything.
"Leaving..."
"Hi, are you Councillor Xu Le? I'm a reporter from Chaoyang Daily. My name is Min Duo. I'd like to interview you. It won't take you too long. It will only take a few minutes."
Xu Le turned his head and looked at the reporter who suddenly appeared, feeling a little surprised.
He is wearing a hat, sunglasses and a thick coat. Can you still recognize him
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do and don't have time to accept your interview."
Xu Le waved his hand to reject the other party and was about to leave, but the reporter named Min Duo actually knelt down in front of Xu Le.
“Councilman Xu Le, Councilman Xu Le, please, don’t leave… I haven’t had a job for a long time. If I don’t get important interviews and reports in the next few days, I will most likely be fired.
My mother is very old and she nags at us every day.
I have many brothers and sisters at home who need my care, and I really need this job.
I hope you can take a little time, I really…”
The female reporter's tears were streaming down her face, and Xu Le was speechless at the sight.
The mother is very old and there are many brothers and sisters in the family
Doesn’t Zion have a fertility subsidy fund
And normal Zion people wouldn’t have many children, right
The education level in Zion is relatively high. Generally speaking, the higher the education level, the lower the fertility rate will naturally be.
To be honest, families with many children are quite rare in Zion.
"You get up first."
"Has Councillor Xu Le agreed to this?"
"There are too many people here, which will cause unnecessary trouble. Come with me."
"OK."
Soon, Xu Le brought the person to his car, then sat in the car and asked the person to sit on the other side for a brief interview.
"You'll have 2 minutes, hurry up."
"Okay, Councillor Xu Le, my first question is, I heard that the Golden Toad House in the Browsing Plaza was specially founded by you. Do you hope that the ancient gods and monsters can live in peace with humans?"
Faced with this question, Xu Le suddenly hesitated.
The reporter's question was not very sharp, but the point was very precise. Sooner or later, the public will need to know about this matter.
Is it necessary to let the public know in advance through interviews
If there is a steady warm-up of interviews, will the effect be better than announcing the policy content in advance
“Did you come up with this question yourself, or was it told to you by someone else?”
Xu Le looked at Minduo and asked.
"Well, there is some research involved, but it's mostly out of my personal curiosity. Of course, if Councillor Xu Le doesn't think it's okay, I can change the question and not take up your time, right?"
Looking at Minduo's cautious look, Xu Le waved his hand slightly.
"It's okay. Regarding the issue of the peaceful coexistence of the ancient gods and monsters and humans, this is what I think..."
Next, there was an interview between Xu Le and Min Duo that lasted about 5 minutes.
It is certain that it will exceed the time limit, because Xu Le himself is also very interested in this issue. He hopes that through his attitude and expression, the public will gradually accept this proposal.
Because the biggest resistance to policy implementation is not from other legislators, but from the public.
Once the public opposition is huge, even for him, it will be difficult to implement it.
So this conversation lasted a little longer.
…
“Thank you for your answer. This interview is really important to me. Thank you.”
Minduo stretched out his hand towards Xu Le, seeming to want to shake hands with Xu Le.
With a polite attitude, Xu Le didn't notice anything unusual, so he also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Min Duo.
Then, Minduo bowed slightly to Xu Le:
"Thank you, Councillor Xu Le, this interview was a pleasure."
Minduo left naturally, and Xu Le watched her leave.
The entire process of her interaction with Xu Le was very natural, as natural as a real reporter, with real emotions and attitudes.
Xu Le once thought that this was a young reporter.
Until she left a mark on her hand.
After confirming that Minduo had left, Xu Le raised his hand slightly.
Black mist surrounded the mark, and the remaining red moon spiritual energy on the mark was incompatible with Xu Le's own dark aura.
It was like a small red dot of light suddenly appeared in a dark environment. As long as Xu Le's eyes were not blind, he would definitely be able to find it.
"What a covert method, is this a test from the Red Moon Temple
Is it about Zion itself or the lighthouse?"
The Duolei incident happened not long ago, so Xu Le naturally would not forget that woman.
After he returned to Zion, it was understandable that people from the Red Moon Temple would test and monitor him. Considering his speed of development, it was all too normal.
I just don’t know what the point of the temptation is.
If it was just a matter of Zion, then he could just follow the procedures and he wouldn't need to consider too much about the situation in the Red Moon Temple.
But if it was about the lighthouse, then he had to pay attention.
The situation of the lighthouse is closely related to him.
"The technique is very special, it must be from a very professional person. I wonder if Gu Beichen can handle it."
Xu Le waited in the car for about 10 minutes before Ai Li returned in a daze.
She took out a finger wrapped in a bag from her pocket and placed it in front of Xu Le.
"I didn't catch up with him, but I cut off one of his fingers. He's a male, about 23-25 years old, 165cm tall, and very light. He looks a bit petite, and is agile, but his physical strength is not very strong..."
Ai Li briefly described the opponent's abilities, which gave Xu Le a rough idea.
"Go back to the Crucible and tell Gu Beichen about it. He has been idle for so long, it is time for him to play the role of an informant of the Red Moon Temple."
…
That night, Duomin and Merion met at the informant station in the Red Moon Temple.
Ryan's expression was a little gloomy. One of his fingers was cut off by Ai Li.
After seeing Duomin, he immediately started complaining:
"This Xu Le's guard is a Level 4 warrior, not an ordinary warrior. If we just rely on the two of us, the progress will probably be very slow. Really, why doesn't mom send some powerful guys over?"
"You are too weak, Merion. Instead of spending time competing for your mother's favor, you should spend more time improving your own strength."
"Hmph, there's no need for you to lecture me. Tell me what you've gained."
"I have successfully contacted Xu Le and had a long conversation with him. The result was very good. I have established this connection.
Next, I just need to get in touch with him more as a reporter. If there is a chance to go further, that would be even better.”
"Have you had any contact?"
"Yes, I have left a mark on Xu Le."
"Tsk, you got there first, it's just a woman's advantage."
Duomin smiled and did not deny that she did take advantage of her status as a woman.
But so what
Many times you also use your male advantages.
"Well, anyway, our initial goal has been achieved. He is now focusing on the Ancient God Seed Shop. It seems that I guessed right. He has the idea of integrating the Ancient God Seed and humans.
What a daring guy, but the implementation of the specific plan will depend on the information from the informant here, after all, we don’t know Xu Le well enough. "
Merion nodded.
"Well, what was the informant's name?"
"My name is Gu Beichen."
Duomin and Merian then waited for a long time. The time they agreed with Gu Beichen was 12 o'clock midnight.
But they waited until after 3 a.m., almost 4 a.m., and Gu Beichen still didn't show up.
"Damn it, what the hell is this Gu Beichen? Why hasn't he come for so long? No, I won't wait any longer, you continue to wait."
Duomin glanced at Merion. She knew very well the abilities of her useless brother.
Not only does he have no skills, he also has no patience.
An undercover mission is not something that can be done as you please. Undercover agents can only appear when their own safety is ensured.
She had been an undercover agent before, so she knew it very well.
"If you don't want to wait, just leave first. I'll wait here for a while."
"Okay then. I'll be leaving first."
Merion turned and left the warehouse. Duomin knew that he was most likely going to Zion's entertainment venue.
But she had no intention of stopping it, her goal was to complete her mother's task.
The rest doesn't matter at all.
"What a waste."
About half an hour passed after Merrion left.
There were several knocks on the door.
"Who is it?" Duomin responded with a defensive attitude.
Then the door was opened with a key.
The only person who possesses the key here, besides the personnel sent by the Red Moon Temple, is the informant here, Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen was wearing sloppy clothes and his face smelled of alcohol and women's perfume.
The whole man looked like a drunk. Minduo stared at him, then took a few steps back without saying anything.
Only after the door was closed did Gu Beichen change his appearance.
The decadent aura on his body was swept away, and he looked energetic and capable, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an expert.
"Gu Beichen, the special informant of the Red Moon Temple in Zion, reports to Shangguan. Shangguan, what is your name?"
At this moment, Gu Beichen's expression was serious and his movements were standard. It was obvious that he had undergone rigorous training.
This guy looks reliable!
Duomin was suddenly delighted. In previous handover work, she often encountered some unreliable candidates.
It's rare to find someone like Gu Beichen who seems reliable.
"Hello, Warlock Gu Beichen, I'm Duomin, nice to meet you. You came so late and dressed like this, you must be working, right?"
Gu Beichen had no expression on his face, but he was surprised inside...
The reason why he dressed like this was because Xu Le allowed him to go to the club with pay, where he could call any lady and order any drink.
At that time, he had already received information from the Red Moon Temple, so he didn't understand why Xu Le asked him to do this.
But now it seems that these people from the Red Moon Temple are really good at using their imaginations!
"Lord Duomin, you are too kind. For the sake of the Holy Temple, I have no choice but to do my duty. I am here so late because I am carrying out some tasks. After all, I have a special identity and I cannot leave unless there is a reasonable opportunity."
“I can totally understand this. As an undercover informant, you need to hide your identity at all times and in all places.
Many times you have to play by ear, thank you for your hard work."
Duomin highly approves of Gu Beichen's work attitude. Although he reeks of alcohol and women, this is understandable.
Because they are undercover and working for the Red Moon Temple, this is a dedicated act.
"Let's stop complimenting each other like this, Master Duomin. If you have any intelligence needs, you can tell me now. I will tell you everything I have gathered during this period."
Seeing that Gu Beichen quickly got down to work, Duomin admired him even more.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Tell me about Xu Le first..."
…
On the other side, Merion walked out of the warehouse and came to Zion, the city that never sleeps.
As a member of the Red Moon Temple, he had also heard of this place.
After ordering the most expensive drinks and calling a few Zion-style women, Merion began to enjoy a life of drunkenness and debauchery.
"Zion's wine tastes different. It's much stronger than the soft drinks in the Red Moon Temple."
After a few drinks, Merrion put his hand on the girl next to him and started to behave dishonestly.
Just when he was feeling a little tipsy, a ferocious-looking bald man walked over.
"Silly Qiang, how dare you touch my woman?"
Merion was stunned.
Silly Qiang? That shouldn't be him, right
But he immediately sensed something was wrong. The bald man actually picked up the ashtray on the table.
Bang!
When Merion fell on the sofa, he felt a severe headache.
He is obviously a warlock with psychic powers and magical defenses... How come this guy's hand strength is so strong
