Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it carefully... She didn't seem to have any news about death, so why did the person opposite her have the expression as if he had seen a ghost
Yuan Yuanyuan actually didn't want to come here. It would have been so nice to just stay in the tavern... But there was no other way. She heard that the top leaders of City C seemed to have made some moves recently. The tavern didn't have a deep understanding of the top leaders of City C, and the few spies there were also eliminated in an operation last month.
At first, Yuan Yuanyuan complained about why the top executives in City C were so awesome, but then the lady boss solved the question with just one sentence -
There are many descendants of the former members of the 17th Army among the high-ranking officials in City C.
Yuan Yuanyuan let out an "oh" as if she suddenly understood something, and then decided not to continue to talk about it.
This doesn't seem to be the point. The point is that they are currently unable to break into City C. Because the attitude of the Mask Organization has been rather strange recently, everyone is worried that they have discussed something among themselves, but they cannot send new spies in for the time being, so they urgently need to send someone out to gather information.
Yuan Yuanyuan discussed with the proprietress for a few days, and finally they decided on a plan - to have Yuan Yuanyuan go there in person to ask.
Although it was still a secret that she was not dead, it was actually okay to tell it to others, because those people would not be able to find her anyway. The situation was quite urgent, so maybe it was the best plan to go straight to the person. Maybe this move would scare the other party and make them say something they shouldn't.
Fearing that something might happen, Yuan Yuanyuan made sufficient preparations before coming here this time. The lady boss gave her a talisman, so that if something happened, she could just crush the talisman and come back. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this thing was very similar to the ability of the boy who could turn into light in the mask organization, a bit like a teleportation talisman.
But Yuan Yuanyuan didn't intend to rely on this completely. With her strength, it would not be easy for those people to keep her.
She now appeared in front of a colleague she was quite familiar with when she was working there before, a little demon who seemed to admire Yiqi. She thought that this little demon would not be too excited to see Yiqi, nor would he sell her out as soon as they met.
The little demon opposite kept looking at Yuan Yuanyuan with a look of seeing a ghost. Yuan Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable under his stare. She thought to herself, did she find the wrong person? No, she had considered it for a long time before coming.
Just as she was about to speak, the little monster opposite suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yuan, Master Yuan, you are not dead yet?"
Nonsense, the one in front of you is a ghost when he dies.
Yuan Yuanyuan walked over and found that the little monster opposite did not move. Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and thought that although the little monster was a little stupid, he was still very considerate.
The little monster asked Yuan Yuanyuan, "My Lord, you are fine, that's really great... Then why didn't you come back for so long?"
The place where the two people met was a dark alley with moist moss growing in the corner. The sunlight shone through it, casting mottled light on the alley.
Yuan Yuanyuan on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and her face hidden in the darkness gradually appeared. The sunlight hit half of it, making her face half bright and half dark.
The little monster on the opposite side couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He stuttered a little, "Master Yuan, Master Yuan, there is another master in front. Do you want me to take you there?"
Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned.
She didn't expect that there was a big monster nearby. She only saw this small monster when she came here. However, if there is another big monster ahead, then some of her plans should be changed. Originally, she thought that if there was no one nearby, it would be no problem to take the small monster away directly.
The little monster opposite might have sensed Yuan Yuanyuan's intention and that's why he suddenly spoke. He is actually quite smart.
Yuan Yuanyuan followed him without saying anything. The little monster next to her was sweating profusely and kept trying to strike up a conversation with her, asking some meaningless questions, "My Lord, why did you come back just now?", "Where did you go before?", "We have been looking for you, why didn't you give us any news?"
Regarding these questions… She wanted to ask the guy next to her directly if he hadn’t read comics recently? There were so many troubles in and out of comics, and now he was asking her such questions…
Although there were many points to complain about, Yuan Yuanyuan did not say anything. She even turned her head to look at the little monster, trying to figure out whether he really didn't know or was pretending. Later, after seeing the little monster's performance, she realized that the other party was probably pretending not to know.
I was dodging and evading, not even daring to look her in the eye. Yuan Yuanyuan wanted you to come and see me, so what
The two of them maintained a very strange atmosphere. The little monster knew where Yuan had been during this period of time, and Yuan Yuanyuan knew that the little monster knew where she had been during this period of time, but neither of them broke the window paper.
The little monster pretended not to know, and Yuan Yuanyuan pretended that she didn't know but the little monster knew.
Then the two of them walked to the front. Yuan Yuanyuan saw a person standing over there and felt vaguely familiar. She should have seen him when she was in City C, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
Opposite him was a man who looked a little lazy. He turned around when he heard the shout, and when he saw Yuan Yuanyuan, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he quickly jumped down from the platform. Before that, he was leaning on it in a very lazy posture.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the man opposite her. He was handsome and attracted her a little. In addition, he looked familiar, so Yuan Yuanyuan's favorability increased greatly.
The first words this man said further raised her favorability, "Master Yuan, welcome back."
Lin Gutou looked at Yuan across from him, and his mind was swiping the screen like crazy. Oh my god! This guy is not dead! How come he suddenly appeared here? Why didn't he ask Miss Lian for a calculation before he left today
He lowered his head. He was not so respectful when facing Yuan before. But recently everyone knows that there may be big problems behind this person. There may be various forces intertwined behind him. If he is slightly involved, he will die without a burial place.
Sometimes he even thought the man in front of him was incredible. If anyone else got involved in one of these things, they would most likely end up dead on the street. But this man was involved in so many things in a row, yet he was still standing here intact.
It's just terrible.
Although Lin Gutou had a lot on his mind, his face was very respectful. He actually had respect for this man.
When Yuan first disappeared, there was a lot of commotion in City C. Some of them swore that Yuan had betrayed them, and even spies sent into the Mask Organization said they saw Yuan.
The entire city of C was on alert against Yuan. Anyone who looked like Yuan was required to report it. The situation was very chaotic and lasted for a long time.
Although Lin Gutou didn't participate too much during that period, he also experienced that kind of atmosphere. He actually always felt a sense of disillusionment, because if Yuan really joined the Mask Organization, it would really be a joke in his eyes. The person who opposed the devil so much in the past actually became a devil in the end.
Later, Lin Gutou talked to Miss Lian, who was also a little depressed during that time. The two sat on the wooden corridor. As one of the people who had the most contact with Yuan, Miss Lian was actually quite uncomfortable.
The two talked for a long time that day, and finally Miss Lian suddenly said, "In fact, Lord Yuan was also seriously injured... If Lord Yuan was still the same as he was back then, I don't think he would do such a thing."
Lin Gutou held the bottle and thought about it. This was indeed true.
Sacrificing the interests of a few for the benefit of the majority... This is actually something Yuan can do. The situation is different now, and the current situation of the monsters may be very unacceptable in the eyes of an old monster like him, so he wants to take a gamble.
But this did not stop him from feeling melancholy, and he took another sip of wine when he thought of this.
After the memories ended, Lin Gutou looked at the person in front of him again and lowered his head a little more. Some of the recent reversals were simply overwhelming them. He observed Yuan in front of him, wanting to see what his physical condition was like, because the comics said that his health was very poor.
He quietly looked up, but couldn't tell anything from the surface... But in the comics, this person should have been fighting in the sky when he suddenly ran out of energy and fell down. His situation should be very bad now, right
Then this person... Does he know that those things were drawn in the comics? This question suddenly popped up in Lin Gutou's mind.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what the people behind her were thinking, she just walked forward on her own. Lin Gutou kept looking at Yuan in front of him from behind, and a vague thought came to his mind - he couldn't be unaware... If he knew, how could he be so calm
He had done something big... If he really knew about it, how could he have such an attitude? The little monster who had just brought him here was scared like this. It was very likely that Yuan was still subconsciously pretending in front of him and didn't know that his disguise had been exposed.
If it was him, I would have to explain it when we met... No, maybe this guy didn't read the latest comics, and no one told him about it? He didn't seem to have contacted anyone recently, so it's very likely that he didn't know the news outside. Maybe he had just come out recently after a narrow escape from the river and recuperated in a closed place for a while.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and just happened to meet Lin Gutou's eyes. Lin Gutou suddenly lowered his head, which scared her.
What are you doing…
Lin Guotou’s mind was spinning wildly… Although the possibility seemed very small, what if he really didn’t know
He suddenly had an idea - pretend that he didn't know the things in the comics, and talk to Yuan Lai like before, answering whatever he asked, and as for the things revealed in the comics... he would never mention them.
Although the other party was seriously injured, Lin Gutou couldn't beat him for the time being. If the other party really didn't know, what if he told the other party and provoked him? Yuan was a murderer, and he didn't want to gamble on those possibilities at all.
I don't know why, but after making this decision, he actually felt a little excited. Of course, there are many people who don't read Monster Records, and many people have an attitude of not caring about it, but Lin Gutou is not like that, but he has to pretend now.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that Lin Gutou's eyes were creepy... How should I put it, she always felt that he looked very scary... Was he wondering why a dead person would come back to life
She didn't reveal her position right away, because she didn't know what the attitude of the top management was. But the things in the comics made her feel a little uneasy. Has this person read the comics? If he has, he must know her attitude by now... If he hasn't, then he can still fool her.
… Then just pretend that the other party doesn’t know, and also pretend that I don’t know. Anyway, the comics are not stamped, what if the other party is really a member of the mask organization, she can then claim that she is still a traitor, and it doesn’t matter if the comics are just drawn by Ji Qiu.
The two people who actually knew the truth started acting out the situation... During the intense performance, Lin Gutou asked Yuan Yuanyuan, "Master Yuan, your sudden return is a bit difficult to handle. Do we need to inform the city lord?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yuanyuan's footsteps faltered. Lin Gutou also stopped suddenly and looked over nervously, "Are you okay?"
He suddenly remembered that Yuan was seriously injured, but now he had to pretend that he didn't know about it. He suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Yuan Yuanyuan calmed her pounding heart to show that she was fine. She looked up at the sky in surprise, wondering what happened today? Why did she always feel that others were strange to her, and why did the goose bumps on her body never go away
