Chapter 421 - Both have two brushes
It didn't take much time to get Ho to put on the trench coat that Osvia had brought, and with Tias's translation from it, he quickly understood our intentions and was more than happy to cooperate. Despite the helpless expression on my face, I was not able to escape this troublesome matter with Senior Sister Lan Yu in the end, and then I was dragged by the pseudo-prophet and the true ancestor of the blood clan towards the military base in the city.
Of course, even though the soldiers standing guard at the gate knew me and Senior Sister Blue Feather, our group was still unceremoniously blocked out - who made the orcs with trench coats wrapped in their bodies and wearing sunglasses and masks look suspicious no matter how they look!?
In the end, Colonel Ding Xiangchen, who still learned about this, sent Wang Yiping to bring us in.
In the command tent of the familiar (?), everyone met Mr. Colonel, who was reviewing the text.
"Say it, Zhou Yi. Ding Xiangchen put down the text in his hand and looked at it with a smile, "What are you going to do when you don't rest at home and come here to make a trip?" Are you worried that Wang Yiping, this kid, will abduct Miss Harris?"
I was completely unmoved by Mr. Colonel's ridicule, and beckoned back to Huo to take a few steps forward: "Ah, that's indeed a positive aspect, but that's not the main thing." Uncle, can you let the other people in the tent go out before we get down to business?"
Ding Xiangchen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and the adjutants, assistants, and orderlies who were busy beside the colonel couldn't help but turn their heads to look at this side in amazement;
"I see. The colonel only pondered for about a few seconds, then nodded in agreement, "Except for Wang Yiping, everyone goes out." โ
After the last person left the tent, I lifted Huo's trench coat and hood and removed his sunglasses and mask. His human-like but distinctly different face was revealed.
Ding Xiangchen and Wang Yiping suddenly turned into hard stone carvings, and after a long time, Mr. Colonel was the first to come back to his senses, raised his arm and bit the back of his hand hard, and then said with a short breath: "My God, isn't he a legendary orc!?"
"That's right. โ
After trying to calm down, Ding Xiangchen turned his head to Wang Yiping, who was still in a daze next to him, and ordered, "Go down and invite Miss Harris and Lu Yin over." That's right. and Liu Tao, isn't this his specialty? โ
This time, it was my turn to be surprised to hear an unexpected name of Yan zhรฒng, and I was shocked: "Wait a minute. I don't know if I heard it wrong, you mentioned Liu Tao just now, right?"
"Well, it's Liu Tao. โ
I was not calm at all, and I immediately went crazy: "Why is that kid here!? I mean, he must be just an avid lover of mysterious events, and it is impossible for him to be of any useful help to the investigation below!"
The Colonel touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "Well, that's how you think of your friend?" But that's not the case, he always gives us a lot of advice on things related to ancient myths, and most of them are quite useful. Besides, he also signed a non-disclosure agreement and volunteered to participate in the operation. It's normal to be here, isn't it?"
Speaking of which, when he fought against the giant maze demon yesterday, it was Liu Tao who proposed the use of flashbangs. Although it didn't get the desired effect, it was much more useful than just tickling the boss with a rifle.
Ahh
So in the inexplicable gaze of everyone, I turned gray and turned ORZ on the spot and went to the ground in tears.
"That, that, I said Zhou Yi, what's wrong with you?" Ding Xiangchen, who was dripping in cold sweat, scratched his scalp in annoyance and sneered. "All of a sudden, I felt very lost and depressed. โ
"I'm not depressed, I'm just lamenting life. With black lines on my head, I raised my hand and waved weakly. "Anyway, leave me alone, it's only right to invite Emilina and them over first. โ
Wang Yiping also reacted to what I said, turned around and walked outside: "That's right. Wait a minute, I'll bring them all. โ
The second lieutenant had already walked out as he spoke, leaving Ding Xiangchen in the room staring at us. I'm sure Mr. Colonel had noticed Tias a long time ago, but it was clear that it was not a good idea for ordinary people to take the initiative to talk to the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan. So he decided to talk to me.
"Zhou Yi, where did you meet him?" Ding Xiangchen raised his chin at Huo and asked, "Are there any other witnesses nearby?"
I shook my head dryly: "No, it just so happens that our group of people are witnesses. At that time, Huo, who was the name of the orc, probably snatched the lunch that Osevia-senpai bought for her sister because she was hungry, and as a modern horse monkey shochu, I mean the magician's senpai, naturally could not tolerate such behavior. So he chased after him violently. Senior Sister Lan Yu and I were about to cross a small alley to eat at a food stall when we happened to meet the two of us, and then ...... Well, that's it. After discovering that Huo was an orc, Sister Osevia set up an enchantment so that ordinary people would not approach, and then Tias, who noticed that someone was casting a spell nearby, rushed over to take a look, so the team became the lineup you see now. โ
โ...... You really didn't discuss it beforehand?"
"Not all super unfolds are the same as spy war movies at eight o'clock in the evening, and there is a situation called coincidence in this world. โ
Mr. Colonel shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Indeed. So what is this orc named Huo here for? Where is his hometown, it can't be in the sewers, right?"
When I heard this, I suddenly had sweat on my head, and I couldn't wipe it clean: "I have to admit that the city sewers are a rather magical place, whether you encounter aliens, predators, transformers, alien invaders, zombies, big spiders, tentacle monsters, or other curious things in it, it won't be strange at all, but that's not the reason why the legendary orcs chose to make their home in it!" In fact, the grey-green skins and their neighbors all live underground, and have been attacked by Belloc, and seem to be on the verge of extinction. Huo came here to ask for military assistance from mankind. โ
As expected, Ding Xiangchen immediately stroked his chin and fell into a deep groan, but he quickly changed to a relieved expression, smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "This kind of thing is not something I can do, it must be done through the nod of the person above." I'll report it anyway, and when will the heads make a decision......"
Rao was as indifferent as Tias, and she couldn't help but show a painful expression on her face.
In order to avoid a complete coldness, Mr. Colonel changed the subject without waiting for us to break out in a cold sweat: "Let's not mention this first. Miss Harris has already set up the lift table for us, and is currently working on a way to remove the magic from below so that the instrument can work properly. You must know that the interference became stricter last night, and most of the instruments connected to the detection devices in the base have failed, so it is very likely that we will continue to borrow her for two days. During this time, you can rely on your own power generation to solve the problem. โ
"Poofโโ!! I didn't expect Uncle Ding Xiangchen, who usually looks very serious, to play like this, I sprayed all over the ground on the spot, but I couldn't say a word, I could only desperately widen my eyes, stretched out my hand and pointed at Mr. Colonel, as if I was about to point out the murderer to others.
Then, by chance, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a group of mermaids led by Emlina strode in.
"What's the situation, why did you encounter a murder incident as soon as you entered the door?" Lu Yin immediately rushed to the front with lightning speed and grabbed the hand I stretched out, "Zhou Yi, although I will never be widowed for you, I will definitely help you avenge your hatred! Don't worry, I'm very strong, you can just finger the murderer out!"
"You're definitely an accomplice of the murderer, hey!? If I hold my hand hard like this, how can I still point to people, how can I fix it!" I stomped my foot and said frantically with hatred, "Can't you be a little serious? You must know that the hometown of the family (pointing to Huo next to him) is being devastated by the demon at the moment, and it is not surprising that it will perish at any time." โ
Emilina and Luyin's hair looked a little messy and tired, as if the two girls had been busy late yesterday and had started to be busy again in the morning without combing. Although I looked at them and felt a little distressed, the blonde girl didn't care about it at all, and walked up a few steps in front of the orc, looked at it carefully, and said, "Hmm, orc." But why is he here? I mean, based on what Ruin said before, humans shouldn't have a good relationship with other races. Asking for help from humans is such a thing as a last resort, and the other party will definitely not do it, so what happened?"
Although there were some troubles, I chose to reintroduce the situation at that time: "That's how it ......"
A few minutes later.
"I see. Emilina nodded lightly, "That makes sense why we found that kind of thing below, and confirms my suspicions." Sure enough, it was Belloc who was messing with it inside. โ
Noticing the girl's words, I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Did you find something interesting down there?"
"Of course. And don't you think there's one less person here, you're playing down there admiring that thing. (To be continued......)
