Chapter 5 The storm is coming
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay. Bai Yu looked around and said.
The mirror suppressed the doubts in his heart, and there was no objection to this.
"May I ask where there is an inn in the city?" Bai Yu casually stopped a passer-by and asked.
"Inns? That's everywhere. But the most famous one is none other than Liuyun Inn. However, the cost there is too expensive, and if it weren't for some big men with military ranks, ordinary people like us would not be able to afford to live. The passer-by saw that it was two little girls, so he kindly reminded him again, "It's the first time you have come to Qingcheng." I'm telling you, it's lively during the day, but it's best not to go out at night. ”
"......?" Bai Yu and Kagami were puzzled.
"Oh," the man looked at the mirror and Bai Yu with a blank face, and said with a bitter look, "After all, this is a border pass, and at night, it's not peaceful." The other day the general also imposed a curfew. And I've heard that there have been ghost spies getting in recently!, so you two girls should be careful!"
The passer-by didn't know that the two little girls who looked to be teenagers standing in front of him at this time were the ghost clan spies he was talking about.
The two hidden ghost clan spies and little girls suddenly realized.
"Thank you!" Mirror and White Feather thanked him.
The passerby waved his hand, turned away, and disappeared into the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
"Are we that terrible?" the mirror turned his head and suddenly said very seriously to Bai Yu.
"What do you think of the Terran spies lurking in the ghost clan?" Bai Yu asked rhetorically.
"It is impossible to prevent it, it is endless, the means are ruthless, insidious and cunning. Kagami thought about it seriously and replied.
"So do we for the Terrans. Bai Yu replied softly.
Is it the same? Maybe.
"Let's go, let's do the important things first. "The most important thing is to find an inn.
So, Bai Yu pulled the mirror and plunged into the crowd.
Moments later, two girls appeared in front of a building.
"Yuehua Inn..."Jing looked up and gently read out the name of the inn on the third floor in front of him.
Although this inn is not as prosperous as the Liuyun Inn in the mouth of the passer-by before, judging from the flow of people coming in and out, there are definitely not a few people here.
"Two guest officers, do you want to eat in the hall or stay in the hotel?" Before entering the door, a junior second ran over, asking the mirror and Bai Yu with a smile on his face.
When I looked at it in the mirror, I saw that the first floor was similar to a restaurant, and from the second floor up, it was the real place to live.
"Stay. Bai Yu said.
Cultivators like them hardly need to eat on a regular basis, and even if they do, it's just a taste, and they can do it at any time, so there's no need to rush it.
After they paid for a room, the shopkeeper led them to the guest room on the second floor.
After settling down, the mirror didn't have much to do, so he planned to take a break and breathe on the spot.
Bai Yu sat down on the spot, slightly closing his eyes to recuperate. After a few moments, she stood up and tried to push the door open. At her cuffs, a reflective metal object was revealed, and when she looked closely, she was holding a short knife.
"Where are you going?" Sensing Bai Yu's movements, Kagami opened her eyes and asked, "It's time now." ”
"Spy on the intel. Bai Yu didn't look back, her voice was faint, no sadness or joy, "Go and go back." ”
"As soon as possible. Jing didn't say much, if Bai Yu, who was comparable to her cultivation, really wanted to do something, she couldn't stop it.
...... ......
A touch of plain color walked out of the Yuehua Inn. It was already nightfall, and there were only a few people on the road, the same as the passer-by said during the day.
The figure twisted and wounded several times, and even deliberately detoured the road once, before turning into a remote alley. Looking at him, it seems that he is hiding from someone's tracking.
When the figure walked out of the alley again, it was already wearing a dark robe, and the plain robe was nowhere to be found.
After leaving the alley, the figure did not make a detour, but went straight to an unnamed restaurant and stopped.
The entrance of the restaurant is bustling and crowded, which is in stark contrast to the entrance of the Yuehua Inn. At first glance, you can see that this is the center of the entire Qingcheng.
He paused for a moment, then walked into the restaurant.
The inside of the restaurant is as crowded as the outside of the restaurant, and those drinkers all have smiles on their faces, chatting and laughing with others. But how much of that smile is true and how much is fake is unknown.
There were so many people coming in and out of the restaurant that no one noticed the inconspicuous figure entering.
The figure, on the other hand, seemed to be a little disgusted with the luxurious atmosphere in the restaurant, and quickened his pace and walked up to the second floor.
The second floor of the restaurant is a private room.
He searched for the house number to a room and knocked on the door.
It was pitch black inside the house, and there was no light. The figure didn't seem surprised, walked in, and closed the door.
"You're finally here. In the room, a man's voice sounded, lazy and lazy.
"What, are you afraid that I will break my word?" Listening to the voice, the owner of that figure was Bai Yu.
"It's not... Are you afraid that you won't be able to kill your partner for many years?" said the mysterious man. His tone was skewed, some mocking, others laughing.
"I'm not going to joke with the credibility of the Shadows. Bai Yu muttered.
"You, are you still a shadow person?" The mysterious man may feel that Bai Yu's words are a little funny, and said in a flirtatious tone, "The shadow people, will betray their companions?"
"I..." Bai Yu was speechless, but the next moment, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Since I agreed, I will definitely do it!"
She let it go. Since you've poisoned the mirror, let's betray her to the end.
Anyway... She will die, whether it is at the hands of Shao Nian, the target of this assassination, or she will die in her betrayal earlier, isn't it?
So, her death wasn't entirely because of her betrayal, right......?
Bai Yu comforted himself.
"Good. Seeing that Bai Yu was ruthless, the mysterious one continued to ask, "Is it poisoned?"
"Down. At this time, Bai Yu no longer hesitated.
"Address?"
"Room 5 on the second floor of the Yuehua Inn. ”
"Alright. The mysterious man's voice suddenly relaxed after asking, "Then tonight, in Room 5 on the second floor of the Yuehua Inn, there will be a ghost clan spy whose identity is exposed, and he resisted too much during the arrest process, and the captors killed him by mistake." ”
"One last question," the mysterious man's voice became serious, "why did you betray her?"
Bai Yu, who had always been extremely calm before, suddenly stood up when he heard this question, and even knocked over the table in front of him. Her hand clenched in her sleeve into a fist, and the suppressed cultivation exploded, and a breath of romance swept through the entire private room.
Seeing that the wooden door of the private room was about to be crushed by this wave of air, another breath rose from this room.
That aura was powerful and gloomy, with a strong smell of blood, and it was stalemate with Bai Yu's breath, but it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
And that aura was emanating from the mysterious man who had been sitting on the other side of the private room.
"Calm down. The mysterious man who exuded a powerful aura didn't expect Bai Yu's reaction to be so fierce, so he had to persuade, "You don't want your identity to be exposed, and I don't want to be convicted of colluding with the ghost clan." Besides, this question is purely out of my curiosity, so I won't answer it. ”
"No, I said!" Bai Yu also realized his gaffe. But after she put away her aura, she roared, "I betrayed her, because every time it was clear that we went out on a mission together, we completed it together, and after returning to the door, she was the only one who was praised and sought after! Every time I tried my best to protect her! But every time we were in danger, she always refused to exert even a little bit of strength! I wanted to use her identity to intimidate the enemy, but she refused, so that we both almost died without a place to be buried! Glory belongs to her, and I, like a shadow, follow her! Why? I'm not weaker than her!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he began to gasp for breath, but his mood was inexplicably more relaxed.
"Is that so?" muttered the mysterious man after listening to Bai Yu's words.
Bai Yu looked at the mysterious man's blurred face, and suddenly felt that he was very similar to him, the kind of unwillingness to stand in the shadows behind the aura of others forever. She didn't know why she felt this way, but her gut told her that she was right.
"Let's go. The mysterious man came back to his senses, "Little... Heart. He didn't know why he was telling him to be careful with this woman who was not familiar at all and had betrayed her companion.
Bai Yu bowed to the mysterious man: "May it never be seen." Then he blended in with the inconspicuous crowd as he had come.
After Bai Yu left, after a long time, the mysterious man got up, walked to the edge of the room, stretched out his hand, and opened the window that no one had noticed.
Looking out of the window, you can see the most lively downtown in Qingcheng, and the farther and farther away..... Until the area where there was no light.
There, it's the gray area.
"Heh," the mysterious man's gaze looked into the distance, not knowing where to focus. He suddenly chuckled and said to himself, "Today is destined to be a sleepless night. ”
"Someone. He clapped his hands suddenly, "Room 5 on the second floor of the Yuehua Inn found a ghost clan spy, so you will go and bring someone to arrest you as soon as possible." There was no one else in the room but himself, and it was not known who he was talking to.
"Yes. Several figures were already standing behind the mysterious man, "We will be fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
After the figures left silently, the mysterious man fell silent again.
After a long time, he muttered, "Jealousy...... It's a maddening thing. ”
He suddenly frowned again, rubbed his eyebrows, and wondered, "But why, I don't think that betrayed ghost clan creature will die so easily?"
He had an inexplicable uneasiness.
No one can answer, though.
