In a small town on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, a new Chinese teahouse has recently opened.

Since the opening of this teahouse, there have not been many customers, and it is no wonder that the people in this place have no habit of drinking tea in the first place.

The teahouse is located on the edge of the town, and the street in front of it is very deserted, and the half-hidden carved mahogany gate seems to indicate that it is still unattended today.

There are more than a dozen sets of Seiko tables and chairs, and a screen printed with classical paintings divides the lobby into several small private rooms, and at the end of the lobby, a dusty wooden staircase leads to the second floor, which is too lazy for the owner to take care of because no one is patronizing.

This teahouse is full of oriental leisure and elegance, and it is at odds with the scenery of a small North African town just across the door.

Inside the counter, a fresh and handsome boy who looked eighteen or nineteen years old was absentmindedly wiping the purple clay pot in his hand.

"When is this day going to be a head!hey~" The boy muttered to himself, looking up at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, as if he was speeding up the hands with his eyes.

Putting down the teapot, the boy took out a stack of papers from under the counter, and after being dispatched here, he would repeat reading them several times a day to deepen his memory, although there was a feeling that it was not useful at all.

The top document, looking at the avatar pasted on it, should be the identity information of the boy himself.

Name: Lai Jinyi

A member of the 437th Combat Group of the Star Alliance

A current student of Star Royal Academy

This mission: Go to a small town in northern Africa, disguise yourself as a teahouse owner, and secretly investigate and track down enemy members. This mission requires strict confidentiality, and team members need to ......

The next few documents contain detailed information about the enemies, most of whom belong to a mysterious organization called the Passive Web.

Interestingly, the last sightings of these enemy groups were in Southeast Asia, South America, a 108,000-mile distance from North Africa.

It must have been because some of the things he said at the conference last time angered the school leaders that he was sent to Africa, Li Jinyi thought so more than once.

"Ding~" The wall clock on the wall rang.

Li Jinyi looked up. At five o'clock in the afternoon, it's time to close today.

After all, it was a mission, and even if there were never guests, you still had to commute to and from work on time every day.

He put away the papers on the counter, turned off the water and electricity valves in the store, closed the windows, walked out of the teahouse, locked the mahogany door, and looked down at his phone as he walked towards the residence a few hundred steps away.

There are less than 10,000 people in the town, and the purpose of opening a Chinese teahouse in this kind of place is to go undercover to investigate, and if there is really an enemy, before others are exposed, they will be targeted first. Worried about information leakage and personal safety, Li Jinyi often can't sleep well at night.

A new message popped up on the interface of the "Ding~" mobile phone.

He clicked on it to check, and it was a message from a member of the Star Alliance.

Could it be that the higher authorities have decided to recall me? I just said, talents like me still have to stay at the headquarters, Li Jinyi's heart trembled, and he was overjoyed.

However, the truth is always disappointing.

After reading it, I found that it was a message from his friend Lu Xin:

"Brother, I discovered a big treasure on Cloud Peak Star Island today! I guarantee that 99.9% of people don't know, it's inconvenient to say on the phone, I must take you to see it when you come back, ahaha." ”

The person who sent the message and Li Jinyi have known each other since childhood, named Lu Xin, although he has not achieved anything, but he has also seen the world, what exactly did he find that made him so excited, and he can't say it in detail in his mobile phone, is it a political secret within the alliance? Li Jinyi couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity.

However, he was more eager to receive a recall from headquarters.

"Oh. He replied callously.

Before he knew it, he had already walked downstairs to the residence. At that moment, a strange sensation came over and stopped him. It's as if some kind of consciousness has been inexplicably touched, but I can't tell what it is.

Looking around vigilantly, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and he hesitated for a moment before heading upstairs. It was a six-storey apartment, unmanaged, in disrepair, with yellowed and even peeling melamine paint on the walls of the hallway, and cobwebs covering the corners and mosquito shells.

Suspecting that he was just having a nervous breakdown, Li Jinyi clicked on the ghost animal video on his phone, wanting to relax. While playing with his mobile phone and stepping up the fifth floor, Li took out the key and prepared to open the door.

When he put down his phone and looked up to find the door lock, the sight he saw made him almost break out in a cold sweat -

The door is open!

Did he enter the thief? Or did the enemy investigate his location first? This sudden sense of crisis made Li Jinyi's heart rise to his throat, and his left hand quickly and skillfully weaved a magical barrier in front of him, and the shield made of light blue energy condensed floated in front of him, looking solid and reliable. His right hand subconsciously pressed on the star-energy gun on his waist, bowed down, and cautiously approached the door.

As he replayed all kinds of fighting techniques in his mind, thinking about every possible ambush in the room, and stepping on his breath, he didn't dare to let his guard down for a moment.

Moving to the gate, Li Jinyi leaned out with bated breath and quickly observed the house, from the door he could only see some information about the front hall and the kitchen, there was no one in the two rooms, and there was no trace of being turned over. The corners of his mouth were deflated, and he suddenly felt that things were not good, since he was not here to steal something, he must have come to find someone, in this unfamiliar place, except for the enemy, who would deliberately come to the door in order to find someone?

At the same time, the voice of a person speaking could be heard in the main hall.

Li Jinyi gritted his teeth, leaned his back against the wall, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the main hall, and those voices sounded like there was more than one person.

What if he can't deal with it? Could it be that the enemy has already set a trap? Worries echoed in his heart, but as a member of the Star Alliance Combat Team, that sense of honor did not allow him to retreat, and besides, there was still a lot of important information in the alliance hidden in his home, and he must not fall into the hands of people in the Passive Net.

"Hehehehe~"

Suddenly, there was another ...... in the main hall Girl, pleasant laughter?

Whether or not the laughter sounded pleasant, for Lai, the sound had only one effect, and that was to allow him to confirm the specific location of the intruder. He leapt into the main hall and unfurled his magic barrier as he pulled out his star gun and shouted at the source of the sound:

"Hey!"

On the sofa in the living room sat a girl with her back to the entrance to the main hall, with long black hair and a white pearl feather hairpin pinned to the right of her head. The ears of the temples are tied at the back of the head, tied in small knots, and then scattered into strands. A silver ribbon tied around the hair bundle next to his left ear trembled slightly with Li Jinyi's angry shout just now.

A bag of potato chips that Li Jinyi had just bought yesterday was torn open on the coffee table, but it was not opened by him before, I am afraid that the girl did it.

Li Jinyi looked around, there didn't seem to be anyone else, there was a black talk show on the TV, and the sound of talking before should have come from the TV, and the girl's laughter probably came from the intruder. Li Jinyi didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and pointed his gun at her.

The girl stood up slowly, wearing a white dress with a faint gold pattern on the skirt and a carefully carved grass-colored lace.

Li Jinyi frowned, wondering, this girl looks very decent in her clothes, not like the group of people from the Passive Net, could it be that another student has been sent to Africa? Hmm~ It is very possible, after all, if you can do such an uneducated thing as breaking into a private house and stealing potato chips, she must be arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she is regarded as a thorn in the side of the upper class. But strangely, I didn't seem to have seen this person in the academy before.

"Hey!"

The other party replied and pulled Li Jinyi back from his contemplation.

He looked at the girl's face and inadvertently paused for breath.

The girl in front of her, with a fairy face and moon appearance, is just like the goddess who makes the sun blush in the legend, and her eyes are clear, like a jade wheel reflected on a clear and quiet pond at night.

Li Jinyi subconsciously put down the weapon in his hand, a little distracted. is not only amazed by the girl's beauty, but also has an inexplicable ...... for her Familiarity?

"What are you yelling at?!!scare me!!" the girl scolded, as if she was angry at the angry shout of Li Jinyi as she rushed into the main hall, and the expression on her face showed it.

Hearing that she was so unreasonable, Li Jinyi immediately relieved himself, and the accumulated dissatisfaction began to explode at this moment.

"Ahh

"Hmph, I came to talk to you about things with good intentions, and you actually pointed a gun at me, and sure enough, the people of the Star Alliance are a bunch of stupid people!" the girl folded her hands in front of her chest and turned her head to the side angrily.

"Smear my Star Alliance? you...... It can't be someone from the Xingjie's side, right?" Li Jinyi put away his weapon and said with his hands on his hips.

"Bingo! That's right, this girl Yin Yuyao is the strongest star!" the girl looked proud.

At this time, the talk show on TV happened to broadcast the audience's laughter, "Hahaha, hey, hey, ......". I don't know if it's just right or out of place, in short, Yin Yuyao feels that she is being ridiculed.

She turned around and picked up the remote control, slammed the shutdown button at the TV, and slammed the remote on the couch with all her might.

Seeing this scene, Li Jinyi couldn't help laughing: "Poof, as far as you are the strongest star, I am also the leader of the Star Alliance." I won't have anything to do with you, Xingjie, have something to do with me?"

"Hmph, we can talk about business later, but now there is another thing to do first. With that, Yin Yuyao supported her body with one hand and easily flipped over the sofa, and the corners of her skirt flew up in a graceful arc in the air. As soon as she landed, she walked straight towards Li Jinyi with a fierce attitude.

Hmm, what is she doing? Li Jinyi muttered in his heart.

Before he had time to think about it, Yin Yuyao had already walked quickly in front of him, and Li Jinyi subconsciously took half a step back, touching his back against the wall.

"Smack!"

Yin Yuyao, who was half a head shorter, propped up his right hand on the wall next to Li Jinyi's head and gave him a stiff wall knock......

The reason why she did this was because she was really startled by Li Jinyi's angry shouts when she burst into the living room, and felt that she had suffered a little, so she thought of this way to get back on the field. Yin Yuyao knew that she was beautiful, and wanted to use this situation to calm Li Jinyi, so that he fell into a tangle between reality and fantasy, and finally his self-perception collapsed, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and apologized.

But she seemed to be thinking too much, the wall dong didn't play a role at all, Li Jinyi was not nervous at all, just looked at the girl in front of her with a puzzled expression, this action lasted for a while, neither of them spoke, and the embarrassing atmosphere spread, but Yin Yuyao blushed first.

"Die!" she angrily punched Li Jinyi in the stomach

"Hmm!!" Li Jinyi took a heavy punch, the expression on his face was confused and painful, he clutched his stomach, and squatted down against the wall with his back.

"Hmph~ Let's see if you dare to yell at me in the future. Yin Yuyao patted off the wall ash on her hands, and then said, "By the way, it is said that you are here to help Star Yumeng run a teahouse?

Li Jinyi rubbed her stomach, thinking that she was really unlucky today, and she was worried that she would continue to make trouble, so she was forced to nod.

"You go downstairs and wait a while, I'll clean up the house and come." ”
