Chapter 46: Old Friends
Wei Yanwu, the supreme person in charge of Longmen, has made a great contribution to the development of a small town located on the border of Yanguo, which was originally so desolate that almost no one cares, that it has now a permanent population of more than one million, and the issuance of currency can circulate in a small half of Terra. Even the doctor, who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, and dared to say yellow jokes in front of Kelsey, mentioned this governor of Longmen, and his words revealed a bit of admiration and respect.
After returning to Rhode Island from the dirty sewers, in addition to caring about the situation of the two Ursas sisters, Misha and Zoya, he was thinking about how to probe Chernobog again, and find out the traverser who was still hiding according to the clues provided by Wendy.
It's a pity that the flowing water is ruthless, and the falling flowers are intentional, he didn't expect to see Wei Yanwu, but Wei Yanwu asked to see him by name, so that when he came to the most majestic and tall building in Longmen, Zhao Xi still felt incredible. "Anyway, why did he see us, so familiar with each other?"
"If the mind of the big man is easy to speculate, he can't call the big man --- ho!" Raising his hand at the oncoming blue-haired woman, the doctor was the first to speak, "Beauty, be happy, we're not late this time." ”
Completely ignoring someone's ridicule, Chen Huijie, who looked cold, made a gesture to keep up, and turned around and left without any delay. Busy with his steps, he led him through the layers of defense, and Zhao Xi arrived at the top floor of the building, a spacious and bright reception room.
"Sir, these two are the representatives of Rhode Island," there was dissatisfaction in his eyes, but the introducer still suppressed his resentment and introduced it in a proper manner. "Doctor, and Miller."
"Good work, Officer Chen." Bowing slightly, the man sitting on the sofa narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "It's just a humble house, and the layout is shabby, and I hope the two old people don't dislike it."
Humble House? Sweeping his gaze over the seemingly precious murals, well-made wooden furniture, soft and thick blankets, and the crystal chandelier above his head, Zhao Xi couldn't tell whether the other party was pretending to show off, or really thinking that the arrangement was shabby, or just being polite. Sitting down on the sofa with some restraint, the young man took a few sips of tea and took the opportunity to observe the rulers of Longmen.
Looks like the Dragon King of the East China Sea in Journey to the West, the orange-haired dragon-headed male wears a modified version of the same color horse coat and a black leather coat, dressed in a modern style. The wrinkles that are faintly visible at the corners of the eyes, and the thin fingers that are difficult to hide even from gloves, make the body of the epiphany, which has been tempered by the years, no longer be described by youth.
But Zhao Xi did not slack off in the slightest, but sat more and more upright, with his intuition that was not very skilled, he could feel the flow of power from the gestures of the middle-aged man opposite, and the majestic aura of looking at the world.
Secretly sighed that the first place in Longmen was worthy of the name, and as soon as the young man put down the teacup in his hand, there was an extra box of cigarettes in his sight. "Uh, thanks, I don't touch this."
Nodding with a sigh, he seemed to be unimpressed by Zhao Xi's refusal, Wei Yanwu, who put the cigarette case in his pocket, untied the cigarette gun on his waist and hurriedly filled it with tobacco. "Drinking?"
"Uh, this..."It was a bit rude to think about refusing twice in a row, and Zhao Xi quietly cast his eyes for help to the people around him, but he didn't get any response. Make no mistake, now is not the time to watch jokes, the young man can only stretch out his hand in the end, and pick up the beautifully shaped wine bottle and put it in his pocket with a sore face. "I, let's get down to business first, thank you for your kindness, I'll take these back and drink them."
"Hey, Miller, don't be too ---" His eyes were about to attack, and the man on the sofa suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Chen Huijie from speaking. "They are guests, Officer Chen, and they must not be rude."
“... Yes, sir. ”
Miss Kelsey had proposed that they all attend this meeting together," and Wei Yanwu silently swallowed the clouds and smoked the smoke, his eyes like a torch watching the two back and forth. "But I refused."
"Because this is a private meeting?"
"Yes, 'Doctor.'" The pronunciation of the salutation was accentuated, and the head of the dragon gate leaned back on the sofa, his expression even more blurred due to the smoke.
"It's said that you and Miller both have amnesia, is that true?"
As soon as his heart said so, Zhao Xi shook his head like garlic; Beside him, the Doctor repeated the action, taking the initiative to explain:
"It's a bit unbelievable, but it's such a coincidence that the two of us were seriously injured and forced into a deep sleep......"
In order to make it easier to move, Zhao Xi impersonated a mercenary named Miller, and considering that the latter was somewhat famous, Kelsey and the Doctor made up an excuse to face the inquiries of some people who knew Miller well-
Amnesia, the saying of rotten streets, but combined with Zhao Xi's performance of knowing little about the history of Terra's customs, it is unexpectedly convincing.
Unlike Chen Huijie's expression of looking at a fool, Wei Yanwu just buried his head in a cigarette, and sometimes interrupted the doctor to interject a few words. After the latter finished talking about the cause and effect, he took off the cigarette gun from his mouth and said meaningfully:
"Despite the loss of memory, the doctor still knows things like a god, why not show this intelligence and judge the next actions of the younger ones?"
"What's so difficult about this, all kinds of signs are negative, the next target of the integration movement is the dragon gate, referring to the tactics of the slums, they are very likely to send more capable men......"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was gradually harmonious, Zhao Xi, who thought that the flickering had succeeded again, breathed a sigh of relief. Picking up the water cup and wanting to drink a little more, someone who found that there was only tea residue left in it subconsciously stood up and walked towards the water dispenser placed by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"No, I'll do it myself." Turning down the dragon girl who tried to help, Zhao Xi was in a happy mood and pressed the water switch. As he waited, his eyes cast out of the window, and he immediately caught something with a tail flame moving through the buildings in an irregular trajectory.
Climbing and descending, sometimes in a clockwise circle in the air, sometimes swooping into the street in a zigzag pattern, causing screams and complaints from the crowd on the ground.
What the hell, big fireworks. Blinking suspiciously, he noticed that the young man who was almost full of water had closed the water outlet, and when he looked up again, he found that his target had regained his balance and was rushing straight towards the building beneath his feet.
In broad daylight, the dragon gate is really... Wrong! The sight caught a person under the device spraying hot gas, and the opponent's black tactical suit and gas mask were reflected in the pupils, and Zhao Xi, whose brain was running at high speed, immediately overshadowed the other party's motives.
"The integration movement is coming!"
Carrying a jetpack, the man dressed as a skeleton climbed at a 45-degree angle with all his strength and crashed headlong into the Longmen Governor's Palace; As if signaling the shattering of glass, a large number of masked people suddenly appeared on the rooftops of nearby buildings, firing crossbow arrows with steel wires, creating solid 'lines' between their positions and the target buildings, and the swollen and almost inhumanoid mutant infected lifted the sewer manhole covers, roaring and charging towards the location of the Dragon Gate Commander.
