Volume 2 The Chapters of the Girls [Muses] Chapter 231 Fragments of the Past
Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to try this extremely difficult bounty task. After all, the bounty proposed by the Shadow Society was very tempting, and the client was the legendary wealthy Shadow Society.
At the same time, Xiang Yu also became a little interested in the information given by the Spirit Shadow Society, would that white-haired humanoid girl really have the kind of anti-heaven power in urban legends?
After accepting the commission, Xiang Yu obtained a copy of the basic information of the humanoid girl from the Spirit Shadow Society.
In fact, Xiang Yu himself is very unclear whether he can complete this task. After all, the scope of the search is the entire Red Federation, and without specific information, this kind of behavior is simply equivalent to looking for a designated grain of sand in the sea.
However, Xiang Yu still set off, and he also wanted to relax himself. He's tired of the mercenary missions all year round, and it's good to go out and wander once in a while.
In this way, Xiang Xiang followed the wandering route of the past, all the way to the west.
Along the way, Xiang Yu stopped and appreciated the customs and customs of various places.
Just as Xiang Yu came to the border of the capital city of Keno, a mercenary who Xiang Yu knew stopped him.
The mercenary resolutely said to Xiang Yu: "Mr. Xiang Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You're actually coming to the capital, aren't you...... Are you here to challenge the impossible? ”
"Well, are you too?"
"If you really want that big sum of money, I advise you not to waste time in the capital. I've been looking in the capital for a month, and the white humanoid girl isn't there. The mercenary's eyes were like torches, and he put his hand on Xiang Yu's shoulder.
But his intuition told him that he couldn't fully follow the mercenary's words, and that he had to go to the capital to find it himself.
Xiang Yu smiled slightly, then turned away from the mercenary's hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to confirm it with my own eyes." Maybe I'm lucky enough to meet it. ”
"Hmph, don't you even believe the words of your acquaintances? Sure enough, it's Bingqing Yujie, pretending to be a tall you. The mercenary said something unpleasant and walked away.
Xiang Yu wanted to talk to the mercenary before he left, but what the mercenary said just now made him feel a little cold, and he never mustered up the courage.
Is he a dispensable person for them?
"Maybe I'm really that kind of person. But no matter what, even if I am alone, I have to go on, and if I don't move forward, I have to go backwards. ”
I've made my own choice, so let's go down even if I'm crawling and kneeling.
In this way, Xiang Yu adhered to the path he chose, and came to the most prosperous city of the Red Federation, the capital Knocheng, alone.
This is also the first time in so many years that Xiang Yu has come to the capital of the Federation.
Due to the special political environment here, the underground mercenary mission avoids the capital, and none of the missions are related to the capital.
Next, Xiang Yu will settle down and carpet his way through the huge capital to find the humanoid girl codenamed [Muse].
In order to be able to carry out the search for a long time, Xiang Yu first had to find a place to stay in the capital.
Rents in the suburbs of the capital are twice as low as in the city centre. This made Xiang Yu more pleased, he could use the money he had saved for many years to rent in the suburbs outside the capital for half a year.
The problem of accommodation was solved smoothly, and the next step was to change clothes and stock up on food
。 Xiang Yu prepares food from a convenience supermarket on the outskirts of the capital, and then goes to a specialized mall to buy a few sets of clothes he likes.
The next step is to make a daily plan for living in the capital, and although most of the time is spent looking for mission goals, life still needs some fun.
All kinds of preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and Xiang Yu felt as if he had settled in the capital, and he actually began to think about these things like starting a family.
For the next six months, Xiang Yu has been settling in the declining area on the outskirts of the capital. There's nothing to pay attention to, just that the living conditions are much worse than in the central area.
In the process of searching for muses, Xiang Yu pays great attention to technique.
Xiang Yu is in his forties. If you don't use your brain, you're likely to say, "Hello, I'm looking for a white-haired girl who looks like she is in her teens." This is a strange misunderstanding.
In the eyes of others, a middle-aged uncle who asks about the whereabouts of underage girls everywhere on the street will definitely be called to the police as a pervert.
But there was little better way to ask a stranger. There is not a single person or organization in the capital, and the search from scratch seems to be far away.
If Xiang Yu can have some connections in the capital, the familiar Terrans, even if Xiang Yu is in the fringe area, it will not have any effect. It's a pity that Xiang Yu didn't have anything, so he could only put on a neat formal dress every day and go to the central area of the capital to look for [Muse] in person.
Every day when he goes back to his room to sleep, Xiang Yu thinks about one thing.
Why would you want to spend a lot of your savings and take a huge risk to complete a bounty that seems like a distant time?
Is it just because of those huge bounties? Or enjoy the sense of adventure with both risk and benefit?
Xiang Yu felt that the reasons for wanting to complete the task were complex, not only the ones mentioned above, but also many, many and different reasons.
- I want to prove my name as a non-killer, I want to know about a humanoid girl I've never seen before, and I want to get ......
However, Xiang Yu fell directly into a dream without reaching a conclusion every time.
……
During the month-long exploration, Xiang Yu basically grasped the specific situation of the capital. This is due to the fact that he usually insists on going to various places in the capital every day to collect information about the white-haired humanoid girl.
Later, in order to improve the efficiency of obtaining information, he also hired several trusted private detectives in the capital. Let them help him investigate the matter of the white-haired humanoid girl together.
As for those peers who may be the first to strike, Xiang Yu keeps a close eye on their whereabouts in the mercenary discussion forum on the Internet to avoid unnecessary trouble.
On the secret discussion forum of mercenaries on the Internet, there is no mercenary mentioning this mission that most mercenaries have directly abandoned by most mercenaries, let alone the capital city of Keno.
And just a week before Xiang Yu's rent expired, Xiang Yu finally got some relevant information from a hired private detective. The detective spotted a white-haired girl who resembled Muse.
Xiang Yu made an appointment with the detective to meet in a public place in the suburbs of the capital. There is basically no human race there, and it is a secret base that Xiang Yu found by chance.
The detective hired by Xiang Yu saw the client, Xiang Yu, and walked over.
He took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Xiangyu." ”
Friendly to the oracle
He shook his head: "Hello, Detective, are you sure that girl is the target I requested?" ”
The detective replied directly: "No, I can't be absolutely sure of it, but that girl does roughly match your description." ”
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "That's great, can you tell me about the specific situation?" ”
The detective noticed the urgency of Xiang Yu's words, but after all, it was his client, so he didn't ask more.
"Don't worry. After spotting the white-haired girl, I quietly followed. Then, on the basis of making sure that she was not discovered, I had already confirmed the approximate range of the girl. The detective said without reservation.
Xiang Yu let go of his high heart and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I am relieved." Where is the white-haired girl in the capital? ”
The detective spoke: "She probably went to the suburbs of the capital, and the direction is the southeast side. ”
Xiang Yu pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Is it a suburban villa circle in the southeast?" I've never been to that place. It seems that it was missed...... Thank you for the information. When I find her, I'll give you a pretty penny. ”
"Then I will quietly wait for the good news from Mr. Xiang."
"Hmm."
……
Through this vague clue, Xiang Yu set his sights on the suburban villas of the capital.
Xiang Yu finally has a glimmer of hope that he will be able to find [Muse]. The investigation and pursuit of the previous nearly half a year were worth it.
Try a little harder, and victory is in front of your eyes.
However, with this information alone, Xiang Yu still couldn't determine the specific location of the [Muse], but the search range was a lot less.
For the next week, Xiang Yu wandered through that range day after day.
The hard work paid off, and three days later, Xiang Yu was lucky to find the white-haired girl. That's indeed the target of the Spectral Society's heavy bounty - the humanoid girl [Muse].
This time, Xiang Yu was unwilling to hesitate, and he risked being discovered and directly found the place where the humanoid girl belonged.
- In the case of narrowing down the scope, the address of [Muse] was officially confirmed to the oracle.
It was a large villa located in the suburbs of the capital. It is not too far from the core of the capital and the outer suburbs.
According to Xiang Yu's cautious investigation, there was also a pair of brothers and sisters living in that villa, and they were supposed to be well-wishers who took in Muse.
If Xiang Yu chooses to go directly to the door and discuss with the humanoid girl about taking her out of the capital, he may have a misunderstanding and hostility with them. For the sake of safety, Xiang Yu thought carefully. He sent a letter to Yuchen's family, and the letter showed his intentions.
By writing a letter euphemistically, he sent an invitation to the oracle to [Muse] that was hard to ignore.
By marking the word "muse" on the recipient and saying the temptation of past memories, the amnesiac humanoid girl may choose to obediently follow Xiang Yu to the Shadow Society in ASEAN City for the sake of her past life experience.
If all goes well, Xiang Yu will be the lucky one to complete the commission.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu was still a little excited, after all, his life in the capital in the past six months was not useless.
- These are the stories before Xiang Yu and Aya Si met.
