Chapter 20: Crisis
Early morning.
In the midst of dense woods.
Warm sunlight shines through the dense foliage and scatters on the ground.
A figure suddenly appeared on the uncle's branch.
He was agile, and with a single jump, he leaped to the trunk of another tree.
The continuous pace made him feel as if he was on flat ground in the air.
Even in a place where the sun was shining, he was still like a shadow that could not be captured.
He wears a strange ornament on his ear that covers the entire ear.
In the ornaments, some voices can be heard from time to time.
"30 direction, there are traces of targets."
“330,330! The target is moving at a rapid pace, the distance is close, the distance is close! ”
"Received, received! I'm getting closer...... Beware of concealment, note concealment! ”
The shadow on the branch suddenly froze in place. A hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes, and he slowly bowed down, like a taut string, condensing a huge amount of power!
"I've found the target, I'm ready to go!" Leaving a faint word, the taut string suddenly loosened, and the figure suddenly rushed out, leaving only the swaying branches, still proving that there were once people here!
Then, the figure rolled forward on the ground, and then there was a cry of surprise.
"I caught, I caught!"
"Well done! I'll come here! ”
"Hurry up, hurry up! I'll go tickle me with this little thing! Your sister I'll go, ahhhh ”
"Hold on, hold on! Hold on, but don't push too hard! Meng Meng is the pet of the lady of the foreign family, and the baby is very good! Besides, if you hurt it, we won't get any money! ”
"Your sister...... Won't I be a baby! Be honest with me, you little thing! Claws folded up to hear ...... Did you hear that...... I'm going to compete with me, come on! Your sister, ahhh My hand! ”
In the woods, screams and shouts disturbed the early morning.
"Thank you so much!" A noble lady dressed in a precious satin, holding a strange-looking creature that felt like a fox, thanked the two people in front of her.
"It should be, it should be! That's our job! One of them smiled and thanked him, he had long red hair, and he looked harmless and very young.
It was Pei Baohu.
"Thanks to you for finding Meng Meng, take it, you deserve it!" The lady took out a money bag and gave it to them with a smile.
Pei Baohu politely excused himself a few words, and finally accepted it.
After the lady left, Pei Baohu looked at the person next to him with a happy face: "Brother Yang! What a blessing to have met you! This kind of simple and easy task with such a high reward is usually impossible to touch! As soon as you come, I'll get it! ”
That's right, it was Liyang who stood beside Pei Baohu.
He was covered in rags, his face and hands were covered with scratches, as if he had fought with a wild beast, and one eye was still swollen, and he looked very miserable.
"yes...... The task is simple...... Relaxed...... The pay is high...... "Liyang's eyes are blank, and a series of blows make him listless," not counting organizational tasks......
"What's so good about organizing tasks! There is little oil and water, and it takes a lot of effort, you see how good this kind of private work is! Pei Baohu smiled and patted Liyang's shoulder, "Let's go!" I invite you to drink! ”
Liyang wants to cry without tears.
I don't want oil and water! I'm going to complete the main quest!
Early in the morning, Liyang was called up by Pei Baohu, saying that there was a big order waiting for him and he wanted to come over quickly. Liyang hurried to get up, and during the process, he also refused what task Gongsun Li said he had.
And the result! Run into the woods and catch magic pets! And...... It's actually do-it-yourself!
Although it is my own request......
Pei Baohu's agility attribute is high, this kind of thing, he becomes a tiger and can be solved in minutes, so Liyang was afraid that Pei Baohu would complete the task by himself and not Liyang, so he proposed to let him come.
Relying on the increased speed of his shoes and his data-based body, after a "hard battle", he finally completed the task.
But the result? The quest prompt didn't appear for a long time, and finally Liyang got a heartbreaking answer.
This TM is not an organizational task at all! It's just Pei Baohu's private work that came out to pull!
However, seeing the elated expression on Pei Baohu's face, Liyang had to sigh silently.
Forget it, anyway, there is no time limit for the task, and there is no rush in a moment, and ...... After all, there is money in the account.
"Let's go, let's drink!" The two of them hooked their shoulders and shouted on the streets of Chang'an, like two prodigal rich children.
After a meal of nonsense, the favorability with Pei Baohu silently rose by 5 points.
Full of wine and food, Pei Baohu took Liyang to take a good stroll on Chang'an Street.
Although it looks like ancient times, just kidding, the story of Honor of Kings is set in the future!
There are retro gadgets on the street, and there are also new things that are so novel that Liyang can't understand them at all.
For example, the craftsmanship handed down by Master Mozi, after the modification of the folk masters, created a non-lethal laser cannon, which can push people away with one shot, which is very suitable for children to play.
There are also roadside snacks, there is a fire called fire chibi, which is said to be the fire passed down by Zhou Yu in the legend, and the barbecue meat is very delicious.
After a whole morning of shopping, Liyang felt very comfortable.
In the afternoon, the organization came on a mission again. This time, there were spies entering Chang'an City, not physical work, so Ah Wei couldn't get in line, so he was arranged for Liyang.
Pei Baohu has something else to leave, and Gongsun Li is also performing routinely in major music workshops, doing his own work.
Now Liyang is going to complete the task alone.
"You really look up to me." Liyang took the task introduction in his hand, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, "I just joined the organization, and I arranged the task alone." Find a Spy...... It's not very easy. ”
Here's what I found out this morning. The guards of the eastern city noticed that there were people sneaking around outside the city, as if they were observing something.
Although he only glanced at it from a distance, the guard felt that the man did not look like a local, and behaved strangely, so he decided to come forward and ask.
But the man turned and walked away, without the slightest intention of approaching.
Strangely, the guards at the gates of the North, West, and South Castles reported the situation separately, and the people described were basically the same.
There was a man observing Chang'an City.
It's not a big deal, maybe it's not a small thing. After all, Chang'an City is famous, and it is natural for strangers to want to come and have a look.
But as an organization, it is responsible for paying attention to those things that seem to be ordinary, and those things that cannot be paid attention to on the surface.
So the organization decided to investigate and find out.
Given that the other party seemed to be a civilian, this was not a difficult task, so it fell to Liyang's head.
"The last place to be seen is in the South City...... Let's go to the southern suburbs first. Liyang flipped through the information in his hand and decided on the direction of the investigation.
The southern suburbs are the places where Liyang does his task in the morning, although he has only been here once, but the process of looking for that cute one is unforgettable, not to mention that the morning has just passed.
Liyang galloped around the woods, feeling the breeze on his face, and his mood was quite relaxed. After all, this time it's much more convenient to find people than small animals. Since discovering the digitization of the body, Liyang has enjoyed the process of running. After all, after the data, there is no physical fitness, just like when you play a game, it is impossible for the operating character to be unable to walk (except for some games with physical strength settings), and now Liyang can run at his highest speed anytime and anywhere, if in real life, he will be out of breath when he runs more than 100 meters.
After walking around the southern suburbs, he saw no one except a few farmers who had left the city.
Liyang stopped and thought about it.
Further south through the woods on the southern outskirts is a lake. There to the woods is a farmland, and there are no suspicious people. There are a lot of places left, east, west and north, and if you go around each place, it is estimated that it will be over in an afternoon. On top of that, there's no way to know for sure if you'll be able to find that person. Of course, the reply to the organization said that it was not found, and that the person had left and it was estimated that he would be able to complete the task, but if that person was really a spy, if there were any consequences at that time, it was estimated that he would not have any good fruit to eat.
Let's take the worst-case scenario. If the guy is a spy, then where will he go?
That man...... The first to go is Dongcheng, if he is a spy in a distant country, Dongcheng should be the place where he arrived in Chang'an City!
He should come from the east!
Liyang looked up at the eastern suburbs, where he could only see a little from a distance. The eastern suburbs are large meadows, and beyond that are a few hills.
Let's go over there first. After thinking about it, there was no better idea, so he walked east.
Chang'an City is not big, if you say it hard, it should only be as big as a modern county, and it is only a few dozen kilometers from the east of the city to the west of the city. With the addition of shoes, Liyang ran with all his might, and the speed was estimated to be close to the maximum speed of an ordinary battery car.
After a while, Liyang came to Dongcheng.
The meadows of the East Side, empty and quiet. Liyang walked around, feeling that he had nothing to gain, but he was unwilling to leave, after all, according to his thoughts, this was the most suspicious place.
I searched again and again, but I still didn't find anything.
Liyang sighed and sat down on the ground.
Tearing the grass on the grass casually, Liyang felt a little distressed.
At this moment, the breeze brought a few pieces of grass and broken leaves, which flew to Liyang's face, bringing a little coolness to Liyang.
The crushed leaves are wet.
So, has it been raining lately?
Liyang thought strangely. Looking at the mountains in the distance, is there a river on the other side? Even if there is a river, how can a water-soaked leaf fly so far?
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Liyang wants to take a look.
He climbed over the hill to the east, which was not high, but it happened to block the scenery behind him.
The hills here are all grass and grow tall, and it seems that no one has been here for a long time.
Also, the population of Chang'an City is already a matter, and the fields in the southern plain are enough, and no one will spend a lot of effort to reclaim the mountain.
While thinking, Liyang casually pulled a dog's tail grass and wanted to hold it in his mouth.
But as he took the last few steps, he froze in place.
The dog's tail grass slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground.
On the other side of the hill is a steep slope, and it turns out that the terrain has dropped all of a sudden.
The steep slope used to be a wasteland, and further southeast, there was a small river that connected to the lake to the south.
The view was nothing special.
It's the people who are special.
Dense people!
By the river to the southeast, a large number of troops were gathered!
How did they come about? Why did you find out on your own?
Why...... None of the others noticed?
Could it be that they have just appeared?
Suddenly, in the rear of the army, a girl looked over.
Liyang and the girl glanced at each other from a distance.
The girl discovers Liyang's existence.
Liyang fell down violently, quickly retreated, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
That one...... It's a dream man!
Her goal ...... Chances are it!
But the army ...... It's coming to Chang'an!
You have to go back quickly...... Go back and tell the others!
However, he has already been discovered...... Damn it!
Liyang knew his situation in an instant, gritted his teeth, and ran wildly!
And on the other side of the mountain, a smile appeared on Tsuki's face.
Don't you have to wait until the war is over to get what you want?
She spread her hands, and a pair of wings suddenly appeared behind her back.
"Prey...... You should run, otherwise, how can it be interesting to be arrested? ”
