Pharaoh's Street.

Hong Lang and the others stood in front of the ancient building and looked at it in a daze, with strange expressions on their faces at the same time.

Gentleness widened her moving eyes: "Library, you let us come to the library?"

Shen Yi had already walked in front of everyone: "The Los Angeles Central Library, one of the three largest national libraries in the United States, is also the oldest public building in Los Angeles. Built in 1926, it caught fire in 80 years and reopened six years later with twice the size. I've been here before when I was here and loved the atmosphere, but unfortunately I haven't been here since, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to revisit it today. ”

"But......" Ah Kai stammered as he pointed to the library before he said, "But is this place suitable for hiding?"

"Why is it not suitable?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically: "Los Angeles is so big, where to hide is not to hide? Whether Hercules can find us or not depends on our ability to hide, but on their ability to track. Since it's the same everywhere, why not find a place you like?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled: "After fighting for a long time, the spirit has been in a tense state for a long time, isn't it good to find a quiet place to sit, drink a cup of tea, read a book, adjust your spirit, and relieve your tension?"

The fat man stuck out his tongue: "I thought you would give you a place that the enemy couldn't even think of...... For example, the most dangerous place is the safest place. ”

Shen Yi pursed his mouth: "How can you believe that kind of thing? Where can you hide in a big place, you have to hide under the nose of the enemy to feel safe? This kind of nonsense is enough to listen to as a joke, if you really want to be the truth, you don't know how to die." Next time, remember, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and that's! You never expect me to be neighbors with Hercules, and pray that he doesn't tilt his eyes to the side when he goes out!"

Hong Lang suddenly realized that he pointed at Shen Yi: "It's the same because it's actually the same wherever you hide, so you pretend to be public and private, and run here to get away?"

Shen Yi laughed: "It's still Langqiu who understands me." ”

Gentle said: "Since that's the case, let's go, since I entered the city, I haven't calmed down to read a book for a long time." By the way, Shen Yi, since you have been here once, then lead the way. ”

The Los Angeles Central Library has four floors above ground and underground, each floor has a different book classification and reading room, the reading room is not all long tables, more like a small café-like small seats, each reader can find their favorite place to sit down, order a cup of coffee, and then sit quietly there to spend the afternoon.

The reason why Shen Yi chose to come here is because there are not many people here, and even if there are people, most of them pay attention to the books themselves, and rarely pay attention to other people. Second, it's a relatively quiet environment. The quiet environment is conducive to them to find out what is going on outside in the first place, and it also allows them to maintain a calm mind.

The Great War is coming, and the peace of mind helps them to face the battle in the best condition.

When we entered the library, everyone scattered to pick out some of their favorite books, of course, most of them were fiction books to pass the time.

Shen Yi strolled alone on the second floor of the library.

He didn't look for the book he wanted to read, but wandered around the library, wandering around, as if looking for something.

It wasn't until his eyes fell on the young blonde that a smile finally appeared on his face.

The blonde woman was looking down at a book, and there was a vacant seat across from the coffee table. Shen Yi casually took the book in his hand and walked over and sat down in the empty seat.

He looked down at the book in his hand, and said seemingly casually, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a reading room for construction machinery rather than art, why do I see a girl sitting here holding a Norman Rockwell album?"

The blonde in front of her raised her head slightly to look at Shen Yi, and she said, "There are fewer people here, and it's quieter." ”

Shen Yi looked at the blonde: "So I bothered you?"

The blonde said casually: "It depends on who it is, some people are not popular, and some people can enjoy special treatment." ”

"Wish I was the latter. ”

The girl looked up at Shen Yi again, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "You didn't sit here by coincidence, did you?"

Shen Yi shrugged: "There are enough empty seats here, but when there is a choice, it is always more pleasing to sit in front of a beautiful girl." ”

"Looks like you're not here to read the book. The girl snorted, stood up, and sent the album back, and when she pulled out another album, she was already seated on the other side.

Shen Yi sat in his position, but his eyes chased the girl's figure, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The sound of crisp high heels sounded in the back.

A gentle voice rang out: "She doesn't seem to welcome you?"

"It's no surprise that she's the kind of person she is, always wary of strangers, but if you get acquainted with her, you'll find that she's actually a very nice girl, very warm and gentle. Shen Yi replied casually.

"Listen to your voice, as if you knew her. Gentleness bypassed Shen Yi and sat down where the blonde had been sitting before.

"Yes. Shen Yi replied: "Remember when I said I had been here?"

Gentle looked back at the blonde girl, and she understood a little: "She is a real being on Earth, and you knew her before you entered the city?"

"Her name is Mia. Shen Yi replied casually: "Mia Kolezi, American and Russian mixed race." Two years before I came to the city, I had come to Los Angeles on a business trip, and it happened that the client's affairs were more troublesome and needed to be solved for a while, so when I had free time, I went to the nearby Central Library. That's when I got to know her. Mia is the daughter of the librarian, so she will look for books in the library every day, she grew up here, and developed the habit of reading books every day, and I came here every day during that time, so I gradually became familiar with her. ”

"But now she doesn't know you. ”

"It's no wonder, she's not the real Mia after all, she's just a replica of the city. Shen Yi drank a cup of coffee.

"I know you're not here for no reason. Gentle smiled. She knew that the relationship between Shen Yi and Mia was not as simple as he said, but a smart woman would never chase after her man's past, and Shen Yi was obviously not the kind of man who would delay his business for the sake of a duplicate lover.

Sure enough, Shen Yi nodded: "I just want to see my old friend." ”

"How did it turn out?"

“...... You see, unwelcome. ”

Shen Yi looked at the blonde girl in the distance, lowered his head and smiled: "When I met Mia, she was only eighteen years old, and now she has grown up. ”

"Are you saying that the creation of the world in the city is actually completely based on the current situation of the earth, and every time it is made, it is simply to remove some content related to tasks and adventurers?"

"Yes. Shen Yi replied: "When I met her, she was in the most desperate moment of her life. Her mother died, she failed to get into Polytechnic University, she broke up with her first boyfriend because she was seduced by a cheerleader, she was in the most disappointing and decadent period of her life, and she even wanted to commit suicide at one point. ”

Listen softly and quietly.

Shen Yi continued: "I met her when she was most disappointed in her life, and I told her about my experience and let her know that in her life, the hardships she went through were nothing at all...... I stayed with her for about half a month, and during that time we met every day in the library, then went out for a walk together and became good friends. ”

"Maybe it's more than just good friends. Gentleness finally couldn't help but say a word.

Shen Yi pretended not to hear it, and continued: "She came out of the shadows of life, and I returned to China for work reasons. But we kept in touch after that until I entered the city and came here in another way. ”

"You're disappointed?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "Yes, but it's not important." What matters is how Mia now survives that dark time without a memory of me. ”

Gentle: "What did you say?"

Shen Yi has said leisurely: "The city uses the earth as a blueprint to make the background, and at the same time erases the memories of everyone related to the mission and adventurers, but there are mutual influences between people themselves, and some influences can never be erased...... Like your parents, like your beloved. ”

He looked at the blonde in the distance and sighed leisurely, "You say, if I try to awaken her sleeping memories, will she become another system moth?"

Gentle humming: "You must have left an indelible mark on her...... Or maybe you've erased a mark, but don't use that to relive old dreams. Also, the Supreme Council won't like you to do that. ”

"I wasn't going to do that, I said I was only here to see old friends. ”

"But I always felt that it wasn't that simple. ”

Shen Yi smiled: "I really don't have that kind of thought." A few days before I entered the city, I received an email from Mia. She told me she was married and that she was pregnant. Do you think I'm going to find a mother of a child to do something?"

Gently stunned, she looked at the blonde girl and blurted out, "Then she doesn't look like a mother." ”

Shen Yi smiled: "It's really not." ”

Bite.

Blood Empalss sound prompt:

"The duration of the non-war agreement ended. ”

The time has finally come for them to sign a non-war agreement with Hercules.

Shen Yi didn't seem to be worried about Hercules' possible pursuit at all, just stared at Mia Kolezzi in the distance, and his mind seemed to travel through time and space, and returned to the beautiful memories of the old acquaintance.

There was one thing, he lied.

That is, he has not been to Los Angeles once, but several times.

And before he returned to China from Germany to carry out his revenge plan, he went to Los Angeles once.

That was the last time he saw Mia.

Mia is not married.

PS: In the previous chapter, Vampire Touch leaked inlaid vampire fangs, three two percent, three three percent, and one five, for a total of 20% more effect.

In addition, Shen Yi himself has a lifesteal enhancement, and the lifesteal effect is increased by 50%, so the maximum lifesteal effect is (30+20+9)*1.5=88.5, and the lowest is (20+9)*1.5=43.5.

I didn't introduce it much in the previous battles.,There is no value that needs to be specially introduced.,Make a special life here.,43.5% of the bloodsucking effect is eternal by default when Shen Yi uses the Vampire's Touch attack.,Of course,It's ineffective against mechanical bodies and undead bodies.。
