Who is it?

Jiang Yao hid behind the curtain and quietly looked at the shadow outside the window, and soon found that it was not Lu Xingyue, but a thin maid.

Huh? This person...... Isn't it the same ...... before?

Jiang Yao remembered the thin maid who was almost caught by the horse's belly before, obviously it was this person who appeared in the alley now, but at this time she seemed to have no previous frightened expression, but looked around calmly, and after confirming that no one was following, she quickened her pace and walked towards the far corner of the alley.

Jiang Yao looked at the woman downstairs, there was always an indescribable weirdness in his heart, his eyes followed the other party, trying to see the other party's actions clearly, but unexpectedly, the woman suddenly paused, turned her head to look in the direction where Jiang Yao was.

"......!" Jiang Yao was startled, and quickly retracted his body behind the curtain, and when he looked out the window again, he saw that the thin maid had disappeared at the end of the alley.

What's going on? I always thought that man was a little weird......

Jiang Yao thought about it, but he didn't bother too much, at this time, he was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the leisure to care about others. He watched cautiously for a moment, and when he was sure that there was no one in the alley outside, he opened the window, jumped on the ledge, and climbed down the hose outside the window. Fortunately, the windowsill on the second floor was not high, and although it was inconvenient to wear a long skirt, Jiang Yao still went down to the alley outside.

"Anyway, what about the boy......? Shouldn't he run away by himself?" As soon as he thought of Lu Xingyue, who had left him running away earlier, Jiang Yao was angry, and at this time he didn't notice at all that a shadow had quietly appeared behind him.

"Click......

"Who!?" The abrupt sound of stones suddenly aroused Jiang Yao's consciousness, but before he could react, someone violently covered his mouth and dragged him back. Jiang Yao was shocked in his heart, and the purple light in his palm spread again, but at this moment, he heard a familiar voice ringing eagerly from his ears:

"Don't make a sound! It's me!"

Lu Xingyue!?

Jiang Yao recognized the other party's voice, turned his head and saw that it was indeed this kid, only to see Lu Xingyue making a "silence" gesture at Jiang Yao with a serious face, and then pulled him to hide behind a garbage heap, and Jiang Yao found that two horse-bellied guards were walking over from outside the alley.

Jiang Yao stared nervously at the two guards, only to find that the other party was swaggering and pacing, chatting while unbuttoning his trouser belt in the corner of the alley in front of him.

"Alas, I said, there have been a lot of strange things near our city recently, people have broken into the city from the outside world, and women in the city have disappeared or something, because of these things, we have a lot more patrol work than before!" one of the guards peed and complained.

"Oh, patrolling also has the benefit of patrolling, let's just talk about the spatial turmoil not long ago, I heard that although a "mouse" fell in, it also dropped a treasure at the same time!" said another guard.

"Baby"?

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue were stunned at the same time and glanced at each other.

"Yo, what kind of treasure is that?" asked the guard next to him.

"I haven't seen it either, it's a very rare treasure anyway, and now that treasure has been sent to Lord Si You's treasure house in the 'Imperial City', the lucky guy who picked up the treasure was rewarded by Lord Si You!"

"It's so cool, then we have to work harder, maybe we can find some other treasures, and then we can send it~ Hahahaha......"

……

The two guards talked nonsense one by one, and immediately left the alley after peeing, and Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue were finally able to lean out from behind the garbage heap.

"The 'baby' in the mouth of those two men...... Could it be the 'Dragon Bone Key'?" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue and asked.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Lu Xingyue looked at the direction in which the two guards left, and her brows furrowed slightly. "I heard from them that the 'Dragon Bone Key' was sent to the 'Imperial City' and hidden in Si You's treasure house, which is a troublesome ......."

"I heard you say before, the 'Imperial City' is very tightly guarded, and even the King of Hades can't attack it, is there any way for us to sneak in?" Jiang Yao asked.

"This stumped me...... It's not that easy to infiltrate the Imperial City. Lu Xingyue shrugged, looking helpless. "But if we don't have the 'Dragon Bone Key', sooner or later we will have to explain to this netherworld, and we have to think of a way quickly. ”

"I don't know if I can pretend to be a guard...... Jiang Yao thought about it, suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Lu Xingyue. "By the way, can your spells be disguised? like your eyes......"

"You say this?" Lu Xingyue blinked his ordinary brown eyes, stretched out his hand and brushed his eyes, and after the pale golden light passed, those eyes returned to his original gold and silver color. "Actually, my spells can only be used to disguise the color of my pupils, which I am more proficient in, but I can't change people's faces with spells, and I have to use props to change my face. ”

"You...... Do you usually use spells to cover your pupils?" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue's beautiful pair of gold and silver pupils and blurted out.

"Yes, after all, if I usually live in human society, my eyes are too conspicuous and easy to get into trouble. Lu Xingyue shook her head and said seemingly indifferently. "My yin and yang eyes are born to distinguish between monsters and ghosts, and my perception of demonic power is stronger than that of ordinary people, probably because of the relationship between my eyes, my parents will be scared to throw me, right?"

“…… Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. ”

Jiang Yao was a little reluctant, but Lu Xingyue looked calm, patted Jiang Yao's shoulder and smiled:

"It's okay, it's okay~ Anyway, I don't have the memory of my biological parents, for me, my stepfather is my only relative...... And the most important person to me. ”

Lu Xingyue paused, a trace of loneliness and sadness faintly brushed across his smiling face, he glanced at Jiang Yao, and then put that bright smile on his face again.

"But now is not the time to discuss these, we have to speed up our actions now, you must know that the 'time dimension' of the Three Realms is different, the time of the Earth Realm passes much faster than the Netherworld, don't look at the time we have not been in the Netherworld for a long time, maybe several days have already passed in the Netherworld!"

"What!?" Jiang Yao was shocked. "Isn't it a long time since I've been missing from the Realm......?"

"So, we can't delay any longer. Lu Xingyue said solemnly. "Let's get out of here first, find a safe place and discuss in detail the countermeasures for invading the Imperial City. ”

Lu Xingyue said, tidied up the yellow dress women's clothes on her body, turned around and walked to the corner of the alley, as if she was planning to use this dress to swagger through the market for the time being, but just after turning the alley, she suddenly received a slap in the face and fell to the ground on her back.

"Lu Xingyue!!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yao's face changed instantly, and a dark purple light immediately appeared in his palm, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed movement behind him, and before he could react, he was hit hard in the back of his head, and he immediately lost consciousness.

"Hmph...... Caught two more. An indifferent voice sounded from beside Jiang Yao's fallen body, and two shadows appeared in the alley one after the other.

"Take it away. ”

The cold breeze blew through the uninhabited alley, and the two shadows disappeared into the depths of the alley in a blink of an eye, along with the unconscious Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue.

------------------------

"Seven days. 」

A deep male voice echoed in the dim and chaotic virtual conference hall, and at the huge round table of light and shadow in the center of the hall, seven pillars of light were seated on the side one after another, and the male voice came faintly from one of the blue pillars of light.

"It's been a full seven days since that 'colorless physique' surnamed Jiang was brought into the Netherworld, and ...... There was no news. 」

The vague figure in the blue pillar of light continued. "Although we have temporarily arranged for him to travel abroad, it is not a long-term solution. The resolution of the board of directors is to discuss the follow-up treatment of this person. 」

"That's right, as far as I know, Jiang Yao's friends and the heirs of the Zhou Group, Zhou Wentao and Zhou Wenhai, are still suspicious of Jiang Yao's so-called 'sudden trip abroad', and we can't hide Jiang Yao's disappearance for a while. If they notice that there is something wrong behind it, it may cause something extraneous. 」

This time it was a female voice that spoke, and I saw another figure slowly appearing in the cyan pillar of light next to it.

"Then it's better to package that kid surnamed Jiang as 'dead', anyway, he was dragged into the netherworld, and it is basically impossible for him to return to the human world. A rugged man's voice sounded from the green pillar of light on the side.

"Hmm...... I'm afraid it's enough to just carry out 'death processing', I think the Zhou brothers probably won't give up, if they find something that shouldn't be discovered, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to deal with it in the future, just like the last 'Yuanqiu Mountain Incident', there are too many people involved......" The figure in the purple pillar of light hesitated.

"Hmm...... Now that Jiang Yao's life and death are unknown, you are thinking about how to deal with him next, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" A calm and gentle female voice came from the orange pillar of light, as if questioning the previous topic.

"Hmph, a guy who has been targeted by Hades, does his life and death still need to be determined?" The male voice in the blue pillar of light was aggressive in his tone. "Speaking of which, from the moment we found out that Jiang Yao had a 'death mark' on his body, our council did not approve of his involvement in the Lingyutai case, just because we were afraid that such a situation would happen, for this ...... Leader Lu, don't you have anything to say?"

The man in the blue pillar of light said goodbye and glanced at the red pillar of light at the main seat of the round table, and the figures in the other five pillars of light also seemed to involuntarily move towards the silent and calm figure in the red pillar of light.

"Given the slim chance that Jiang Yao will be able to return from the Netherworld, I suggest ...... It's time to start preparing for the 'erasure procedure' against him. The man in the blue pillar of light said coldly.

"What do you think? 」
