Chapter 105: The Night
Leaving the fortress and entering the old town of Canglong, it is already the time when the lights are on and the sky is full of colorful clouds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The streets of the old town are not bustling, and you can't see the tall and majestic mansions of the rich here, and most of the cheap houses on the roadside are piled up with grass and trees; There are no glittering mall shops in the market area, and the street is full of street vendors. The most common façade is the Western-style restaurant, which serves everything from potato salad to eel steak.
The three people who didn't eat lunch couldn't help but move their index fingers when they smelled the fragrance of the food.
Wu Ming chose a restaurant called "Old Hanny" and walked in with his two daughters. The restaurant's décor isn't luxurious, but the menu is marked in four different characters, giving you a sense of grandeur.
Of course, as long as there is a "panacea" system, the menu is to conjure up more than a dozen words, and Wu Ming can also recognize the meaning at a glance.
"Is it Moon-senpai, is it hungry?"
After ordering a few common dishes such as mashed potato and garlic, sauerkraut and fish sauce, Carol asked Wu Ming with a puzzled face.
Wu Ming understood what she meant, at this time, he had already changed back to the identity of "Adam", and said with a smile: "No matter who is hungry, the result is the same." ”
"Understood." Carol is not a tongue-chewer, and once she has figured out what is on her mind, she will not say more, and concentrate her mind on the meal in front of her.
All three of them are very quiet when eating, so no matter how much they eat, they will not say anything to each other. However, a few guests at the adjacent table drank too much wine, and each of them chatted at the dinner table with red faces, without taking into account the feelings of the customers around them.
"Hehe, have you heard of it, the most prominent person in Chengbei District these days is a guy known as the 'White Cloth Grim Reaper'." The thin young man with his bread hair enthusiastically threw the topic of "Death in White" to his companion as he toasted, which immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the customers, including Wu Ming.
In these days, information about the powerful will never go out of style.
"I've heard of this...... another uncle who had drunk raised his right hand, in a posture of a primary school student rushing to answer, "It is rumored that this person is a new holy area in the city, when the alien attack on the northern area of the city is about to fall, this person is armed with a sword to kill, and Yu Wanjun took several enemy generals' heads from it, and killed the alien army to the ground, saving the residents of the city from fire and water......"
The uncle's tone was excited, and when he talked about the excitement, the whole person began to dance, as if he had seen death in white with his own eyes.
What and what is this?
Wu Ming, who was sitting next to the uncle, couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and he "killed with a sword in his hand"? When will he use a sword?
The two girls in front of them laughed so much that they almost didn't hold their breath.
"!" Another tablemate quickly retorted, "How could the white-clothed god of death use a sword?" ”
That's right.
Wu Ming finally had a reliable person, but he heard the man say again, "Since it is the god of death, of course it is a sickle, and it must be a long-handled sickle, otherwise how can it match the style of the white clothes?" ”
"Poof!"
The little maid squirted out a mouthful of soup, almost splashing on Wu Ming's face.
A few black lines appeared on Wu Ming's head, and he quickly stuffed the food into his mouth, turning a deaf ear to the sounds around him, as if those customers were not talking about him, but someone else.
After eating and drinking, the sunset had sunk into the horizon, and under the quiet sky, Wu Ming left the restaurant with his second daughter and returned to the hotel in silence all the way.
Carol's residence was still some distance from the hotel between them, but she didn't seem to want to leave, until Wu Ming sent the little maid to prepare hot water for bathing, she still sat quietly on a log chair, her whole body calm like a statue.
"Sleeping here at night?" Wu Ming deliberately made a lewd look to scare her.
Carol ignored his bad habits, and she said with the same expression: "Say, what do you want me to do for you by deliberately breaking Nicole away on the pretext of boiling bathwater?" ”
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, he hesitated for a while, walked to the bedtable and picked up the wool map prepared by the hotel for customers, put it in Carol's hand, and said softly: "I want to know the address of the headquarters of the Black Gold Gang." ”
Carol was silent, and after a while, she picked up the quill at the bedside and made a black mark on the map.
"I think it's time for you to change into a night outfit, many people are staring at the white-clothed Grim Reaper, the white-clothed is too eye-catching." She handed the parchment chart to Wu Ming, and by the way, she didn't forget to remind him to hide his identity.
"I'm measured." Wu Ming nodded, he switched out of the large size, tucked the sheepskin into the placket of the hoodie, seemed to remember something, and instructed, "When Nicole finishes taking a bath, you can accompany her out shopping." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Carol to reply, Wu Ming turned around and went out directly, and only after walking a few steps, Carol's farewell voice came from behind: "Remember to come back early." ”
Wu Ming's footsteps paused slightly when he heard this, then he raised his hand and shook it in the air, striding into the night, leaving a lingering aftersound in the air.
"I'll be back when you're done shopping."
……
It was night, and the Canglong City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Demos Canglong sat in front of the low bookcase, his hands supporting his forehead, his face extremely cold. In front of him, the deputy officer of the commander of the Canglong Legion bent down and saluted, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Scattered epistolary materials are scattered all over the place.
"The Military Department, the Communications Department, the Scout Squad, the Spy Group...... As long as there are personnel who can be dispatched, I will use them for you, now what? A day and a night have passed, a big living person, all the relevant information can not be found, you just give me such a report results? ”
The military god's fingers kept tapping on the table, making a "thump" crashing sound, just like his restless heartbeat.
The bowed lieutenant's face was already drenched with beads of sweat.
"Listen, this is the last chance I will give you, if you still can't find out the whereabouts of 'Baiyi' tomorrow, then immediately roll me up and leave, take your waste men, and let me go back to the countryside to raise pigs!"
By the end, Timos was already roaring.
"Why should the city lord be annoyed."
At some point, Angela, wearing a veil, appeared strangely beside the deputy, and she waved at the deputy, who immediately withdrew from the room without looking back.
"I've seen the Speaker." Dimos was eager to get up and salute, but was stopped by Angie with his hand outstretched.
"I have other arrangements for the 'white clothes', the city lord can relax his mind and don't embarrass his subordinates." Angela's words were like a pool of clear water, instantly extinguishing the fire in Tymos's belly.
After hesitating, Timos still expressed the doubts in his heart: "I don't know who the speaker sent to deal with this matter, forgive the official arrogance, according to the intelligence information currently available, this 'white clothes' appeared too suddenly, and there is a high probability that he is a rebel above the Holy Land. ”
"No, it won't." Angela's answer was simple and clear, she looked thoughtfully at the starry sky outside the window, "I have already negotiated with the black dragon, and this time, they will take over the matter in full." ”
