Chapter VII: The Fatal Disease (VII) 2
"Here's the thing. ' The presence of a demon next to you means that you are inseparable, which means that there is a good chance that there is a demon lurking next to you. But I'm definitely not talking about any of my companions being 'demons'. Xiang Yifei immediately explained, and at the same time, the expression on his face became serious, "This situation is very serious, the 'demon' will not do it himself, but will pass your information to the superior command system all the time. A 'demon' isn't scary, even if it's at night, it's no match for you or me, but they're good scouts, the second eye of the Hanging City. Once they are targeted, troublesome things will definitely continue. What's more, the person you're fighting against is definitely not the Earth Federation or the Ministry of Defense. ”
"Why are you so sure?" Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
"Makes sense." Ye Zifeng nodded, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and his eyes began to lose focus, obviously falling into deep thought. After a while, Ye Zifeng slowly raised his head.
"I know, I'll be careful in the future. But if you're right, the next steps might be simpler. After all, the opponent is not the Earth Federation that can mobilize this Hanging City, I think if it is just one person, even if he has an inseparable relationship with the Earth Federation, it is impossible to get the whole city to search for us. Ye Zifeng said his conclusion, "Let's go eat first." Don't talk about these things yet, I don't want my players to have too much psychological pressure in the future operations. I'll figure out what to do, but you have to keep in mind that if the 'devil' does something to us, I think it's up to you. ”
"Why!" Xiang Yifei yelled unconvinced, "I just said they would be watching"
"And then?" Ye Zifeng asked with a look of disdain. "I don't care, you can handle the 'demon' matter yourself, I don't want me to worry about this matter in the future. If the target of the 'demon' is you, I hope you can dedicate yourself a little bit to being a live target and divert the attention of the 'demon'. ”
"Count you ruthless!" Xiang Yifei glared at Ye Zifeng viciously, and turned his head away angrily.
"But we'll help if we need it." Ye Zifeng patted Yifei's shoulder, and then walked towards the dining table without looking back. Everyone at the table was looking at this side. But I don't understand what the two of them are doing there, one will yell and the other will fight.
"Hurry up and eat, I'll announce today's mission later." Ye Zifeng sat back in his position and picked up his rice bowl.
"What were you talking about, Emperor?" Alice asked immediately when she saw Ye Zifeng coming back.
"We're saying we're going back to the villa in a minute, you'd better hurry up and enjoy your breakfast." Ye Zifeng looked at Alice and said coldly, "Also, don't call me emperor here, I remember I told you about it." ”
"What's there?" Alice pouted. By the way, snorted. Guan Yi on the side touched Alice and signaled him not to say too much, which could be seen from Ye Zifeng's expression. It seems like something happened, but I haven't told everyone about it, so it shouldn't be an important thing.
"And when are we leaving?" Xia Lu put down the rice bowl in her hand, looked at Ye Zifeng and asked.
"It's about eight o'clock in the morning, but if you leave too early, the money won't be refunded, so it's best to use this as a base for the time being." Ye Zifeng said with some melancholy. "But it's not realistic, so I'm going to go back to my neighborhood."
Ye Zifeng sighed, looking like he was heartache for his money.
"That's not your money, what are you sighing about?" Alice pursed her lips uncomfortably, with a disdainful expression on her face.
"It's not my money, indeed." Ye Zifeng nodded. "It's like you sleep on the road, don't accept someone else's charity and then suffer the other person's good."
Ye Zifeng looked at Alice and was a little speechless. Alice was also a little embarrassed by Ye Zifeng's words, but the stubborn Alice snorted to express that she was still dissatisfied, and then picked up the rice bowl and ate without raising her head.
Xiang Yifei sat down next to Ye Zifeng, and also pretended to pick up the rice bowl, looked at the people around him looking here, immediately raised his elbow, and touched Ye Zifeng without a trace.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zifeng asked in a low voice.
"Don't forget, don't be careful with yourself, but also your teammates. If the 'demon' does strike, I will help, but I can't guarantee your safety. Xiang Yifei said in a threatening tone, and at the same time didn't look at Ye Zifeng, just lowered his head and ate.
"I know this, don't worry, I said I would figure it out myself." Ye Zifeng did not respond to Xiang Yifei's threat, but ate without raising his head, looking like he was fine. About ten minutes later, everyone also finished breakfast, Ye Zifeng went to the front desk to return the room card, and then left Mingshan Villa. The European-style large building was getting farther and farther behind him, and Ye Zifeng couldn't help but feel relaxed, as if the corpse of Blake he saw in the morning was like a nightmare, as long as he woke up, it would not exist.
It is estimated that even if this matter is discovered, it will not cause much commotion, this matter is originally a battle post made by the "demon" against himself, and the other party will definitely deal with the aftermath, and all he has to do is to fight with all his might.
Passing through the busy commercial area that had just appeared in the morning, Ye Zifeng and his party quickly returned to the empty villa located in the residential area of Xiyuan Temple. When he got out of the car, Ye Zifeng looked at the watch on his wrist, it was now 9:26 in the morning.
"Artoria, we're back." Ye Zifeng shouted, but no one responded. There was no suspicion in my heart, but a slight doubt, could it be that Artoria went out? Entering the villa from the right side hall, Ye Zifeng did not immediately go upstairs, but came to the main hall.
"Artoria." Ye Zifeng added again. However, his voice echoed in the villa, and there was still no response. Ye Zifeng immediately came to the entrance to confirm the situation, Artoria's shoes were indeed missing, but Ye Zifeng also found an envelope pressed under the vase. Pulling out the envelope, Ye Zifeng looked at the signature on the cover of the envelope.
"Greetings, Archer, whom I haven't seen many times before." Ye Zifeng read this sentence softly, and then the corners of his mouth twitched twice. Ye Zifeng didn't know that Archer had also come to Hanging City. It was a bit of a surprise to see the signature on this envelope, but it was a bit laughable to see such a joke written on the envelope. Turning the envelope over, Ye Zifeng looked at the mimeograph that sealed the envelope, it was not a noble badge, but turned to the traces that the real archer pressed out with the primer of his sniper rifle bullet. Gently breaking off the mimeograph, Ye Zifeng opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. I still have some heartfelt feelings, saying how people are becoming more and more retro nowadays, and they don't use glue to glue but use mimeographs.
However, Ye Zifeng has no opinion on what to use to seal the envelope. There was only one piece of stationery in the envelope, and I don't know if Archer was poor or simple.
Dear Mr. Ye Zifeng,
First of all, I think I want to apologize to you here. Some words are still written confidently, and I can feel more comfortable. The last time we met, the atmosphere was a little bad, and although I knew that I was the one who knocked you unconscious, I didn't apologize to you for it. So I should apologize to you. And I always trouble you to help me deal with the aftermath, although I didn't deal with it properly, but I still thank you very much.
My purpose in coming to the World Tree this time is not to help you, but I would be happy to provide some help secretly, after all, I have done a lot of things that are sorry for you. That apprentice of mine has caused you trouble, so I apologize to you first, but I want to warn you. You must take care of her, I ask you.
And also. I met you the day before yesterday when you first arrived in Hanging City, but I didn't meet you because I still had something to deal with, but I already knew about the amnesiac girl, so I decided to help you in this matter. So that you don't get distracted in the main task.
That's all there is to say, and I wish you all the best in your mission.
Archer
It's also very simple, just write a name. Although he mentioned the incident two years ago in his heart, Ye Zifeng really couldn't get angry, and he was in a bit of a hurry when he met last time. It mainly explores the question of the killing of Professor Guderian. I really didn't have much time to care about what happened two years ago. I don't know why, maybe Alice was infected. After all, a master who can teach such a lovely apprentice should not be a bad person. Ye Zifeng thinks so, but the two have indeed only met once, it is impossible to say that the two understand each other, and the last time was not so much cooperation as interrogation.
With a sigh, Ye Zifeng folded the envelope and restored it to its original state. When Ye Zifeng turned around, he saw Xia Lu walking towards him.
"What to do, I can't find Artoria anywhere." Xia Lu's voice was obviously anxious, and her eyes were constantly flashing, and it was not difficult to see that Xia Lu was worried about Artoria in her heart.
"Don't worry, Artoria is fine." Ye Zifeng patted Xia Lu's general, comforted softly, and handed over the envelope in his hand at the same time, "Just look at this and you'll know." ”
"Huh? For me? ”。 Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took the envelope handed over by Ye Zifeng, and followed Ye Zifeng back to the main hall. Everyone gathered in the main hall, as if they were all waiting for Ye Zifeng, and when they saw Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu coming back together, they all got up and looked at Ye Zifeng. Don't think about it, it's because of Artoria's disappearance.
"Sit down, don't worry." Ye Zifeng smiled and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and walked to the sofa at the same time, "Artoria asked Archer to take it away, so there is no problem." ”
"Huh? Let the master take it away? The most intense reaction was Alice, who immediately jumped up excitedly when she heard Archer's name, rushed to Ye Zifeng's front with an arrow step, and threw Ye Zifeng on the sofa at once, "Really, really!" My master is also coming to the 'World Tree'? ”
"What are you lying about?" Ye Zifeng was a little embarrassed, squeezed out a stiff smile and wanted to push Alice away, but after thinking about it, it was a little inappropriate, so his hand hung in the air. I don't know where to put it. This thing is still Nicholas is the most effective, and immediately grabbed Alice's collar and pulled it back hard, Alice screamed briefly, and lay on the sofa on her back, fortunately, the sofa of the empty house in Xiyuan Temple was big enough, even if it was eight people who sat down, it didn't mean to crowd.
"Sir probably doesn't want us to be distracted." Ye Zifeng comforted and said, "But Mr. Archer shouldn't have any intention of meeting us, so he didn't show up, and he also said in the letter that we should concentrate on completing the task." Ye Zifeng pointed to the envelope in his hand on the lower road, "So let's just take care of the things at hand." Today's plan of action is now announced. ”
Everyone immediately sat up straight and looked at Ye Zifeng.
"I hesitated that there was almost a small accident in my previous formulation, so we had a day to rest, but it was still a busy day." Ye Zifeng sighed, "Today's task is to find out the functions of each room in the Governor's Mansion and where our target is stored. And "
Speaking of this, Ye Zifeng paused slightly, looking a little hesitant. Ye Zifeng didn't know what he should call Ye Kexin here, whether to call Ye Kexin directly or sister. In Ye Zifeng's heart, calling Ye Kexin sister is the best choice, but this is announcing the task, isn't it too frivolous to call her sister? Ye Zifeng was a little dilemma. After thinking about it, Ye Zifeng decided to skip Ye Kexin.
"There's also the need to find out where Naoto Sakurai is being held. We're going to get them all out. ”
"Of course!" Jim immediately agreed, but it was one of the tasks that had to be carried out without his approval. He's livening up the atmosphere. Jim felt that something was wrong with Ye Zifeng since the morning, it was too gloomy, and he didn't speak along the way. Ye Zifeng was not like this in the previous mission, although it can't be said that he was talking and laughing, but he would smile when he heard himself talking, but today is different. Along the way, Ye Zifeng just had a poker face, looking worried.
Ye Zifeng heard the meaning of Jim's words. Now that his team members have expressed their positions, Ye Zifeng certainly can't let them down.
Xiang Ye Zifeng stood up from the sofa.
"I know that high-intensity actions will bring a lot of psychological pressure to everyone, and I think about it, I shouldn't hide anything from everyone. We've now officially been put on a war post, and the Defense Department is fighting us to the death, and we certainly can't let them down. Ye Zifeng looked around at everyone. His eyes were full of confidence and brightness, "I wonder if you have the confidence to defeat the defense department!" ”
Ye Zifeng asked loudly.
"Yes!" Jim and Alice immediately responded loudly, the two of them were most easily infected by the atmosphere.
Ye Zifeng's right hand clenched his fist and stretched it out. Everyone got up, also in their right fists, and their fists were tightly pressed together, and they felt each other's determination.
"I'm glad to see you so confident." Ye Zifeng nodded, and then whispered, "Victory." ”
"Victory!" Counting Ye Zifeng, everyone shouted together and waved their fists.
Although he said that, today's things are still a little difficult to do, although Ye Zifeng also thought of sneaking into the Governor's Mansion alone to find out, but in fact it is not allowed. When Ye Zifeng felt that he should think of a way, the note that Archer left for him in Mingshan Villa suddenly lit up in Ye Zifeng's eyes.
So after returning to the room to confirm that the progress was correct, Ye Zifeng knocked on Alice's door.
"Oh, here it is, here it is!" Alice's response was heard in the room, and she opened the door only to find the Commander standing outside the door who had embarrassed her that morning. Ye Zifeng looked at Alice with an apologetic smile and scratched her head a little embarrassed. The smile on Alice's face immediately cooled, and she looked at Ye Zifeng, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, who do I think it is, isn't this sir?". Alice snorted and said in an obviously awkward tone, "Why are you looking for me?" ”
"Don't be like this, it's me who is bad in the morning, I'm here to apologize." Ye Zifeng nodded hurriedly, and the smile on his face was even worse.
"Oh, I can't afford it, sir, please go back." Alice turned around and turned her back to Ye Zi Feng.
- This little girl!
Ye Zifeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth helplessly.
Although I really hope that Alice can change back to the way she was before, but "it doesn't matter what emperor you call me", even if there is no outsider, Ye Zifeng will definitely not be able to say it.
"Forget it, I don't care about you." Ye Zifeng stood up straight and coughed lightly, "How is it?" What are you interested in meeting someone with me this morning? ”
"Who?" Alice turned her face and looked at Ye Zifeng obliquely. To say that she is not interested in her heart is all nonsense, Alice is not the kind of girl who can stay at home, of course she is happy to hear that Ye Zifeng wants to go out by herself, but her stubborn temper does not allow her to turn around.
"Hmph." Ye Zifeng's face was determined to win, and he hugged his arms in front of his chest, "You can say whether you want to go or not." ”
"I" Alice just wanted to blurt out "I'll go, I'll go, of course I'll go", but just after the words were said, Alice was forced to hold back, "That, it's not impossible if you have to let me go"
Ye Zifeng discovered Alice's tsundere attribute for the first time, but Ye Zifeng didn't bother with Alice, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's go, I'll take you to meet Archer, I haven't seen you in a long time."
