Chapter 3: Spies

Located in a neighborhood full of high-rise spires, Wenchen's private residence is decorated in a simple and refined Rococo style that differs from the intricate baroque periphery. The master's room is full of gold and ivory, and the extremely asymmetrical light curves of the furniture design add to the feminine femininity; Shells, whirlpools, mountain stones, flowers and birds and other decorative themes curl grass and flowers, wanton and unrestrained, very natural form; The delicate, rose-red wall is adorned with the owner's favorite wall mirror, which is undoubtedly the most dazzling "furniture" in the owner's room.

It's not an ordinary wall mirror, it has a double-sided mirror design, but the people inside and outside the mirror show completely different details in terms of details. The person outside the mirror is blue pupils, and the people inside the mirror are purple pupils; The hair color of the person outside the mirror is black, and the hair color of the person inside the mirror is white; The brooch pinned to the person outside the mirror is a camellia, and the brooch pinned to the person inside the mirror is a blue violet flower.

At this time, the owner is standing straight in front of the mirror.

"They're already following the script I designed, and they'll find you soon." "Decay" appeared behind the man.

"Really? That, I hope we have a good time working together."

"One thing I'm curious about, why did you find me?" The man asked, still not looking back.

"I also wonder why you agreed so easily." "癸" asked rhetorically.

Then the man turned his head and smiled at each other, "Because of interests"

"Occasional finger claws on the mud, Hongfei that recounts things"

"Oh?" "Gui" sneered: "I think our cooperation will end here, Wen Chen." With that, he pulled out the dagger hidden behind him.

"Don't worry" The man captured the small action of "Gui", squinted his eyes, and "waited and watched"

"Everyone has experienced the matter of people walking in the tea and cooling, the clouds are illusory, the snow is easy to disappear, and no one can always clean themselves, including you and me" He instantly turned to the back of "Gui", grabbed the dagger and threw it on the ground.

"If you want to fall out with me today over this, I promise you won't be able to get out of this room," the man who had removed his disguise put away his fake smile, his eyes like a pool of stagnant water, reflecting no light.

"Also, don't call me by my full name next time"

The drill and I were forced to run to the main road, and the black shadow followed us closely behind us, according to the known intelligence, "Gui" can freeze the water into ice and then manipulate the ice to make it into various forms, he also has a doppelganger, the main body and the doppelganger will not appear at the same time, the "black shadow doppelganger" is chasing us, where is the main body? What are its capabilities? Little did we know that danger was imminent, and my instinct reminded me that I had to keep running.

"Drill, we still have to stay as far away from the river as possible, in case it has the same ability as the main body, it will be bad!"

We ran against the side of the residential area away from the river, and the shadow followed us, and for so long it did nothing but chase us. The main road is an excellent terrain for "Gui", he can attack us at any time at such a close distance, the black shadow is the doppelganger of "Gui", and it is also one of his abilities, but according to the current situation, the black shadow does not seem to be able to freeze water into ice.

To confirm my suspicions, I ran to the side of the river, this distance is estimated to be non-existent in the next second if the "Dec" is chasing me, but if it is a black shadow, there is a small chance that it will not use the water to attack. These are just speculations, what if it just wants us to let our guard down and launch a sudden attack? I had to look back at the shadow every few steps to prepare for an emergency, but he never attacked me.

It seems that my guess was correct, and after crossing the bridge in front of me, I entered another style of neighborhood, and I was lucky along the way.

"Roar—" The shadow roared like thunder.

The drill running on the other side found an anomaly, "Xiaobai, step!" ”

Because it was not far from the neighborhood where Hou Yu was located, I got a little carried away as I ran, and I didn't look back to observe the black shadow's actions after I tacitly acquiesced in my mind that the black shadow could not manipulate the water, but this negligence allowed it to take advantage of the loophole.

The floor tiles I stepped on actually fell, and there was only one pit left in the original position, which was really dangerous, but it was not a big problem, as long as I crossed the bridge, the facilities with water were reduced by half, and I ran over it a little faster and held on.

"Roar—" The shadow roared again, and flew in front of us.

"Not good, go left, quick!" Before his brain could react, his legs had reflexively headed towards the place where he could escape.

We fled several times faster than before, the shadows were closer to us, and our ears could still hear the sound of the floor tiles falling one by one. My mind was blank, I couldn't bother to wipe the sweat on my face, and I only had the thought of "running forward" in my heart.

"Don't run, it's like a dead end ahead, turn right!" The drill bit remained calm, dragging me away from the "rampage".

I had lost my ability to think in a panic and followed the drill without thinking about anything, but the drill was wrong and we would not have any more leeway.

The drill bit stood in front of me blocking my view, and he stopped. I looked back and was surprised to find that the shadow was gone.

"Xiaobai, I have bad news for you"

"Drill, I have good news for you," I said to him, talking with my back to him.

"The bad news is that the road we are taking is a dead end"

"The good news is that the shadows are gone". The drill didn't show much joy when he heard it, and he said word by word with mechanical emphasis: "I also have good news, Ah Jue has found it"

"Found it?" I walked around the drill bit and really saw Ah Jue frozen, the ice wrapped around his upper body had partially melted, but his eyes were still closed and unconscious.

"I'll take a look" The drill touched his arm, and the clammy and cold feeling was suddenly transmitted to the whole body of the drill through his fingers, and the drill reflexively shrank his hand, if he hadn't seen the faint rise and fall on Ah Jue's chest, he would have thought that he would never open his eyes again.

"Is his ability so terrifying? It's like stuffing it in the freezer and freezing overnight, to put it bluntly, this temperature is not a normal person's temperature."

"What are you talking about, Ren Wei's ability is about the same as '癸', I think she should be able to help" I glanced at the drill bit whitely, silently recited the "Dusk Luo Bookmark", spread out my palm, the largest point of light in the center floated up, and the slightly smaller points of light around it floated up one after another, gathering into a bookmark with a dark green tassel tied at the end.

"Ren, 苼" I drew her name on the bookmark one by one, and when the writing was finished, the words on it turned from black to purple, and curly purple runes appeared in the blank part outside the name, and when the runes appeared, it represented the ability of the bookmark to be activated.

The purple characters slowly floated above the bookmark, forming a diamond shape, the first diamond shape to copy the same diamond shape on both sides, and then copy two identical diamond shapes downward, the five diamond shapes formed a complete pattern, the pattern slowly slipped down, and after disappearing, a beam of white light in the shape of a human appeared.

"Congratulations on your success," Ren Yi appeared in front of me.

"Succeeded? What succeeded? "I scratched my head and couldn't figure it out.

"Control the characters in your own work, that's what you're capable of"

I hesitated for a few seconds, and after repeatedly confirming that the Ren Mo in front of me was really Ren Wei in the pedestrian street, my expression changed from hesitation to abnormal excitement, and I grabbed the drill bit and shook it all the time. "Did you hear that? She said this is my ability, am I Superman hahaha"

The drill bit of the "advanced middle and second disease" gave me a blow.

"Okay, okay, no kidding" I quickly calmed down my excitement, and my expression returned to its usual indifference. "Ren Wei, the purpose of my summoning you... Let's say it's 'summoning' for the time being, I want you to use your ability to melt the ice on Ajue's body."

"I've also heard the word 'summon', but it shows a contractual relationship, and here the relationship between me and you is manifested as a subordinate relationship, and it is completely possible to explain the relationship with 'command', which is an absolute coercive behavior" Ren Tao introduced me to the relationship between "author" and "role" like a textbook.

She walked up to Ah Jue and quickly melted the remaining ice on his body, but when she accidentally touched his skin, she frowned, and asked the same question as the drill: "Strange, why is this child's body surface temperature so low?" Even if it's frozen, won't it? ”

"Isn't it caused by the ability of '癸'?" I heard her muttering and asked.

"No, it can't be, if it's transformed into an ice pick, something like an icicle can cause him substantial damage, you can wrap him in ice just stop him, and under normal circumstances, his body temperature can't be cold like this"

"Did that guy play some other trick?" I shook Satoru's head, hoping to shake him awake.

Ren Mo shook his head, still worried. "I can't see it, but when he wakes up, I have to pay more attention to his movements, I'm afraid there is a problem"

"Where are you going?" Her whole body was enveloped in a layer of white light, which was about to disappear soon.

"When the 'character' completes the 'author''s order, it means that this order is invalid, and I have to go back, and the smashed gate is still waiting for me to repair it."

"Okay, okay" I raised my hand and lowered it, watching her disappear. "Shall we wait here for him to wake up before leaving, or will we carry him behind our backs?"

"The whereabouts of 'Gui' are uncertain, and every time it disappears inexplicably, in order to ensure safety, we still have to find the person you said as soon as possible to know his whereabouts in advance."

"I'll take turns carrying him with you, let's go" The drill picked up Ah Jue with some difficulty, and we continued to walk to another block.

The two of us were busy carrying him, and the other was busy observing the movements around us, and neither of us noticed that one of Ah Jue's fingers moved, and a smile of unknown meaning was wiped from the corner of our mouths.

Along the way, I thought about a lot of etiquette words that should be used when visiting other people's homes, starting from entering the door of other people's homes, you should always pay attention to your words and deeds in every move, although you are looking for your own characters, which can be regarded as "acquaintances", this is the so-called "death to save face".

Wouldn't it be too cautious? This thought was completely extinguished when we confronted the two security guards.

We didn't say anything, but we just stepped on the ground outside his door, and they suddenly attacked us without waiting for us to explain, and we were pushed to the ground by them without any mental preparation, and they tried to attack us with the power of "electricity". Seeing that they are such scoundrels, even Wen Chen, a person who has failed to build a personality, and their family were blacked out by me together, who let you, as the security guard of Wen Chen's family, leave a bad impression on me when we first met, and you must erase this character from the manuscript when you go out!

"Hey, what's the matter with you guys? We just stopped at your house for a few seconds and were inexplicably beaten by you? Okay, I actually met a group of social people! I was still angry, I opened my mouth and scolded, and I didn't care about any "first impression", an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

"Xiaobai, calm down, we don't know what tricks they are going to play yet, it's better to be cautious" The drill slapped the dirt-stained clothes, got up and shook the fist I was about to punch.

"Cut, this is a tear in the face, when I first came over, I thought you were a white-faced scholar," one of the security guards crossed his arms and mocked us in an extremely yin and yang tone.

I laughed angrily, "Oh, it's not because you did it first!" Are rich people so horizontal? Besides, it's nothing new for people to have two faces."

"Yes, yes, it's really cold in the world, and someone dares to make trouble in the Wen family, let's just do what you want!"

The word "we" obviously regarded himself as a member of the Wen family, but unfortunately he was a hired security guard, and he had nothing to do with Wen Chen and indirectly lowered his image.

Suddenly, the word "dogleg" came alive in my head, and it seemed that I couldn't teach him a lesson.

"Ah San, don't talk nonsense with them, just do it, I think these two boys owe a lesson!" Another security guard egged on.

The security guard named "Ah San" punched the ground, and the floor tiles under the fist shattered, and the crack continued to expand, and the row of floor tiles next to the broken floor tiles were shattered one after another, leaving a long crack on the ground in front of the gate, and the electric light drilled out along the crack, "climbing" on the leg of the drill bit like the tentacles of an octopus.

"Get out of the way!" I threw the drill down and moved away from the trajectory of the electric "crawl". A sea of fire ignited in his mind for a moment, but the tone of his voice felt cold and bitter, as if he had spoken it through the mouth of another person.

"You hurt him". After that, the bookmark appeared in front of my eyes out of thin air, the purple runes on the surface of the bookmark appeared, and the two security guards were tightly wrapped in a cloud of white light at the same time, and after the bookmark disappeared, they were trapped in the nodules formed by the white light, unable to break free.

"Wen was negligent at some time and failed to meet him from afar, please forgive Mr. Pu"

A humble gentleman with a gentle appearance as jade paced, the tuxedo dress set off the figure of the person in the future more slender, the coat and trousers were all without any patterns or patterns, plus this kind of clothing is just the same among men, there is no novelty, if it is not for the luxurious fabric to support the face, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that he is the son of the powerful.

I was angry when I saw him, but in any case I spoke politely, and it didn't do me any good to do him a move. I clenched my fists to suppress my anger, and barely curled the corners of my mouth to respond to him: "It is rude for us to break into the Wen family rashly, and please bear with Mr. Wen."

He and I knew what the other party had done, but we still refused to tear our faces on the spot because of our feelings, and rationally left a proper negotiation space for the other party.

Looking at the two trapped security guards at the door, I took advantage of the reason to chase after the victory, "The extra greetings are avoided, do you see the two security guards in your house?" "I didn't say anything else, waiting for Wen Chen to add it to himself.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely discipline the servants strictly in the future" Wen Chen's docile appearance made me have to be vigilant, Wen Chen's character I designed is not like this, by the way, he is also very good at acting.

"Xiaobai, Ah Jueta..." The drill poked me. We left Ah Jue within the range of the mansion next door to the Wen family, and now he is still unconscious against the wall, and we were afraid that the Wen family would have an ambush and would take the lead in attacking the unconscious Ah Jue before putting him in a relatively safe place.

"Please wait a minute" I ran to Ah Jue to check, he was still unconscious. Suddenly remembered that Wen Chen's character had the identity of a doctor, maybe he could heal Ah Jue, thinking of this, I carried Ah Jue back to the Wen family's mansion.

"You must have come to me for something, did you have some trouble?"

"That's right, we were attacked halfway by a man named 'Gui', he hurt our friend, Xiaobai said that your ability can track him" The drill looked at the stranger in front of him, and instinctively took a few steps back before speaking.

"I can indeed provide medical care to your friends, and I can track his whereabouts, but..." Wen Chen's eyes glanced away when he mentioned "癸", as if he didn't want the drill to notice anything.

"What are the conditions? I knew that you wouldn't easily agree to others," I asked, walking up to him with Ah Jue on my back.

"It's worthy of being the 'author', then I'll get straight to the point, I didn't have the special medicine for treating special frostbite with me, I remember putting it in the research institute, can you get it for me?"

"For? Hmph, what tricks are you going to play? "I rejected his offer and conjured up a bookmark to attack Wen Chen.

"Don't be like this, don't do this, it's hurtful and angry" Wen Chen spread his hands, he didn't mean to attack me, but his tone was still aggressive. "I'm no match for you with your 'privilege' ability, but your friend is different, and the damage effect of 'Dec' will not be affected in any way even if it is melted, unless special drugs are used."

His eyes are like those of a hunter staring at his prey, waiting for it to step into a trap and attack immediately. He was waiting for my answer, knowing that I had no regression and could only compromise with him.

I'm not going to abandon my friends.

"You once abandoned a man and killed him," a voice retorted to me.

"Ruthless, you ruthless, okay, this is the Wen Chen I am familiar with" I held the bookmark to his eyes, like draining a pool of stagnant water growing in his eyes, leaving his ugliest side to dry in the scorching sun.

"I haven't killed anyone, I haven't, I've got to prove myself"

"Where's the institute?"

"Find Yanfu Road, see a statue of an eagle and turn east, the institute is on the side of the road, you can find it one by one on the first floor of the institute, there is a room with my name written on the office, there is a rectangular medicine in the shape of a cube"

I put away my bookmarks and glared at Wen Chen before leaving. "Let's go!"

After we had gone a long way, Wen Chen stood in front of the windowsill, conjuring a flower like a trick, and he tugged at the outer petals one by one, from the outside to the inside, in circles, until the innermost petal was left with a different kind of petal—the only black petal among the many white petals.
