Chapter 42: Temptation
Under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, Qu Junyan bought himself half a month of cultivation time. With Qi on the side, she is not worried about the learning of Gang Qi and soul power, the only thing she is worried about is the Rising Sun group, she has disappeared for a few days, and she doesn't know how they will feel.
The timing could not be delayed any longer, and Qu Junyan made up his mind to test Xue Wei that night. In the middle of the night, Qu Junyan had just walked away, and only the safety exit indicator light was on in the dark villa. Xiao Yi sat up from the bed, his expression was unpredictable in the dark, he just stared at Qu Junyan's hidden door crack, and frowned.
Z city is adjacent to F city, and compared to the busy traffic of F city, Z city is quite a paradise. Z City is a very small city, the whole city of aborigines combined is only 10,000 or 20,000, but this is the most prosperous place in the area, as long as you enter the city, you can see the streets full of quaint houses, vendors everywhere. Z City is a city with ancient buildings as the core, and the rampant film and television industry has driven the tourism culture here, where as long as you are willing to spend, the aborigines can solve most of the problems for you.
Qu Junyan arrived in Z City at noon the next day, wearing a dark suit, and walked into this city of ancient buildings. Although it was noon, the streets of the ancient city were crowded with bustling crowds, who gathered in groups in front of small stalls to select suitable souvenirs, and from time to time there were people holding machines to take pictures.
Chongming Road is located in the northernmost part of the city, which is much quieter than the previous crowded city, with rows of ancient buildings built on the mountain, and No. 87 is no exception. Qu Junyan looked at the small building on stilts at the end of the street from a distance, turned around and left, and found a hotel to settle down first.
"I haven't asked you, where did you find the Spirit Stone?" Feeling Qu Junyan's fingertips rubbing against the necklace, he asked the doubts in his heart.
"Spirit Stone?" Qu Junyan blinked his eyes, as if he remembered something: "You mean this rhodium element metal?" ”
"Hmm." A faint voice came from the spiritual world. "In my world, it's called the Spirit Stone."
"I stumbled upon you reacting to it and bought it." How much money did you spend......
"Buy small." Without hesitation, he blurted out a complaint, and Qu Junyan swore that if Qi stood in front of her, he would definitely look disgusted.
Rolled his eyes very unimaged, uncle, do you know how expensive this thing is? A lump the size of a fingernail almost bankrupted her...... She'd dreamed of buying big chunks! What chemistry student doesn't crave an inexhaustible supply of materials for experiments? The only question now is.....
She's poor!
Qu Junyan can be said to have a breeze on his sleeves, and his pocket is cleaner than his face. Although rhodium is not as expensive as californium, it is not a rotten cabbage, and this kind of thing is several times more expensive than gold, and with her meager savings, it is already the limit to be able to buy a fingernail cover.
As an intern who has not yet received a salary, as a class teacher who has been on leave longer than the time he has been in school!
Nanchuan No. 4 Middle School didn't let her get out, it was all for the sake of her injury in the line of duty, how could she give her that kind of thing called "salary"? Wait a minute...... It looks like a bonus has been sent!
"Limited ability......" decisively admitted, she would never admit that she still has a small treasury!
"Let's go." Qi felt the thoughts in Qu Junyan's heart, and a smile flashed in his eyes, hidden in the depths of his soul.
…… ……
Lang Lang, the streets of Z City are crowded, and a trace of afterimage shuttles freely among the crowd. Frequently appeared in the various ancient buildings on Chongming Road, and stretched out those sinful claws to those pure and loyal wallets countless times.
Qu Junyan looked at the gradually plumping pockets, and had to sigh that the "occupation" of prayer is good, the thief has wood! Money is as good as a stone on the ground. At first, Qu Junyan was worried that he would be filmed by the surveillance, until he saw Qi raise his hand and wave, the camera was covered with a layer of mist, no matter how tight your security system is, Qi can accurately loot property in a few breaths, just like taking something in a bag.
Qu Junyan could already imagine that when the sun shone on the earth in the early morning of the second day, there were bursts of mournful wails erupting in the major ancient buildings of Z City. Tsk tsk, madness......
In the evening, "Qu Junyan" returned to the room unsatisfied, in order to avoid catching fire, Qu Junyan forbade praying for jewelry, first, it is not easy to get rid of it, and second, I am afraid that the other party will have traces to follow. A total of 117,482 cash was harvested in this operation, and in the Internet era, it is really getting more and more difficult for thieves to do business!
When I go back this time, I must let Bai Zhi check carefully, what corrupt officials and corrupt officials are in F City! These good people are just trying their skills, and they won't feel guilty about how those corrupt officials exploit her! They didn't dare to call the police......
A certain beast smiled treacherously, but an old man who was wiping antiques in F City suddenly shuddered.
…… ……
As soon as the sky was darkened, Qu Junyan changed into a set of dark tights, the soft fabric wrapped the girl's delicate curves, and blended her into the night.
According to the previous stepping point, Qu Junyan came to a small building on stilts with a light car, and his figure was hidden in the alley opposite. Compared with other bustling streets, Chongming Road is not only remote, but even the buildings inside look a little dilapidated.
The whole street was pitch black, and at the end of the empty street stood a land temple that symbolized the wind and rain, and in the faint moonlight, Qu Junyan looked at the temple that was already a little dilapidated. She went to a lot of streets in the afternoon, but the whole Chongming Road seemed incompatible with the bustling ancient city.
Pray quietly touched the front of the stilted building, the tall building stood quietly under the moonlight, looking up, you can see the red tiles on the second floor of the small building.
Through the window lattice on the second floor, you can clearly see a crystal lamp lit in the small building, and under the soft light, the inner room is empty.
Excluding the unstable factors in the room, he naturally wanted to go into the building to investigate, as a thief, he touched any building silently, that was his housekeeping skill.
In the blink of an eye, Qi had slipped out of the door to the top of the eaves, leaning over to look at the still lit dim citrine lamp, but before he could make a move, he suddenly noticed something, turned over and hid in the moonlight.
Qi cautiously looked at a place on the corner of the street, and said to Qu Junyan in the spiritual world: There are people nearby.
There were a few breaths nearby, and although the other party had tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, that breath couldn't escape the sense of prayer. After experiencing the scene in the misty forest last time, he became more and more cautious, if he woke up one hour and a half late that time, I was afraid that he would be separated from this little girl forever, and he was afraid for a while.
Qu Junyan frowned slightly, who would hide around here? Could it be a person from another world who is with Xue Wei? The wound on the chest that has not healed long ago is inevitably painful......
Just when Qu Junyan was puzzled, a familiar figure in the small building on stilts slowly walked into the afterglow of the crystal lamp.
"It's him!" Qu Junyan's heart jumped, praying that she didn't show up because of the abnormal movement around her, but the eaves where she was hiding now were only a meter away from that person, and the familiar figure made Qu Junyan more and more sure that this person was the person who collided with her in the temple at that time! If he was really someone from another world, it was difficult for her to guarantee that the other party would be aware of her presence.
How did he end up here?
Qu Junyan's premonition became stronger and stronger, and for some reason she always felt that Xue Wei was the person she had been looking for. Xue Wei's facial features gradually merged with the man's figure, and Qu Junyan's heart was overwhelmed. His appearance must have something to do with herself, and she has an inexplicable defense of him in her heart.
The gambler in the eyes of the world is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Xue Wei stood in front of the crystal lamp with a hint of a smile, and under the dim light, he looked at the place where Qu Junyan was hiding with a smile.
Qu Junyan was taken aback, it seemed that this Xue Wei had sensed her presence, and he was like a fierce beast waiting for an opportunity to move, walking towards Qu Junyan's hiding place step by step.
Sure enough, it was him! As he got closer, Qu Junyan's guess was confirmed. Qi was still quietly prostrate in place, Qu Junyan didn't dare to make too many movements, she wasn't sure how Qi had recovered his strength now.
Judging from the data, Xue Wei is just an ordinary person, and the information of the past 20 years or so is no different, and Qu Junyan also dared to act rashly with such a mentality......
Qu Junyan's heart was beating faster and faster, and her feelings told her that once Xue Wei found herself, she was afraid that things would be very difficult to handle, and she could even feel the dangerous aura on this person.
Seeing that Xue Wei was about to walk under the eaves where he was hiding, Qu Junyan's heart rose to his throat.
"Pray, the situation has changed, don't rush for a while." Qu Junyan hurriedly reminded her in her heart not to be impulsive, she didn't have enough chips to deal with people from other worlds now, so it was the best strategy.
"Okay." The voice of prayer entered the spiritual world, and Qu Junyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If you want to get out of the way, you are absolutely sure of it.
Just as Qu Junyan was about to flee, a slight sound of footsteps came from the end of the alley not far away.
Four slender figures are rushing in the direction of the stilted building, tiptoeing to the front door, watching the movements of several people, as if discussing how to pick the lock!
Qu Junyan frowned slightly, looking at the four people who were unconscious, and the consternation in her heart made her stunned in place.
Bai Zhi, Jennard, Xiao Yi, Duan Yu! How did these boys appear in Z City?
Xue Wei frowned thoughtfully, looking at the few people who were openly picking their locks, and the doubts between his eyebrows deepened.
