Chapter 293: Little Droplets?
The remote ecological area that Menqi chose is called Meilin, and it is a nature reserve that requires "permission" to enter.
In an area like this, where others are not allowed to enter, it is not easy to apply for a permit.
During the period, you either have to pay a lot of money, or you have to pay a lot of energy and time.
But the Hunter's License itself is the most useful pass to save Moyu and Menqi from these troubles.
On the way to the Meilin Ecological Zone, Menqi temporarily crammed and began to browse and memorize some information and regulations about the Meilin Ecological Zone.
In such artificially protected natural ecological areas, there is usually a list of prohibited animals and plants, which animals and plants cannot be harvested or hunted.
Because of this protection and regulation, there will always be poachers who venture into the Merrill Lynch ecoregion to hunt those extremely valuable animals.
According to Menqi's words, this phenomenon linked to interests cannot be eliminated.
As a result, every food hunter who explores new ingredients in the wild will sooner or later encounter poachers and engage them with fire.
Mo You always listened quietly to the common sense about food hunters that Menqi had popularized.
In fact, it doesn't matter to him, he just eats it anyway.
Five days later, the spacecraft landed in a country called Tebi.
Moyou and Menqi, who were holding hunter licenses, entered the country visa-free and did not rush to the Merrill Lynch Ecological Zone for the first time, but walked around a local town called Rubiru.
In addition to preparing some essential supplies for survival in the wild, that is, to taste the local specialties.
Anyway, Mo You went with the flow and left the decision to Menqi throughout the process.
As long as Menqi decides to do something, he will raise his hands in approval.
"Master, here, here......
"Master, there is a problem with the spices at that barbecue stall, don't buy it."
"Master, come on, this is maple sugar, a rare natural candy, I didn't expect to see it here."
"Master......
Along the way, the smile on Menqi's face never disappeared.
As if she didn't know what tiredness was, she took Mo You to walk from morning to night, and visited all the shops or stalls related to food on the local street.
Thanks to Mo You's ability to eat, he cooperated to eat from the street to the end of the street, and then from the end of another street to the street, which greatly satisfied Menqi's desire to share.
However, Menqi's knowledge reserves shocked Mo Yu again.
Anything that has to do with food, Menqi can always give a rough idea, giving people the feeling of being here before.
But in fact, it was the first time for Menqi to come to Rubiru.
And some of the delicacies she introduced today were some of the things she had come into contact with in other places, and some of them were learned through materials.
"No wonder I can be the youngest one-star food hunter."
At the end of today's food tour, Mo You once again sighed at the skills that Menqi possessed.
In contrast, the bounty hunter path he chose, which allowed him to accumulate merit based on strength alone, seemed simpler.
Since the two of them walked from morning to night, the trip to the Merrill Lynch Eco-Zone could only be put on hold for a day, and instead decided to stay in the town for one night first. ….
And yet—
There are not many inns in the town, and each one is small.
Mo You and Menqi searched all the way down the street, but they couldn't find a hotel with empty rooms.
"This is the last inn in town."
Eventually, Moyo and Menqi arrived at an inn furthest from the center of town.
If there were no rooms in this hotel, they would have to find another way.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, the bell hanging from the top of the door suddenly made a pleasant and crisp sound.
"Welcome."
At the counter facing the entrance stood a smiling young girl wearing a white cloth scarf and freckles on her cheeks.
Inside the inn, there is a restaurant-like furnishings.
There are three dining tables in a small space.
Two dining tables are next to the window, and one is leaning against the corner of the wall, next to the wall pillar.
Mo You and Menqi walked into the inn, first at the smiling freckled girl, and then at the table next to the pillar.
At the dining table, there sat a short black haired girl with a petite figure but a plump curve.
Because it was sideways facing the entrance door, it was difficult to see the face.
Mo You and Menqi's eyes fell on the black-haired girl at the table.
There is no other reason.
The black short-haired girl had soft telekinesis wrapped around her body, and there was no doubt that she was a telepath.
This is also the reason why Mo You and Menqi will look at it for the first time.
Menqi then quickly withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at Mo You.
It is also a small probability event to be able to meet a telepathic person in such a remote small town.
Mo You signaled with his eyes that Menqi didn't need to pay too much attention, and immediately walked straight to the counter, looked at the freckled girl, and asked with a smile, "Is there a room please?"
"Yes."
The freckled girl also smiled, glanced at Menqi behind Mo You as she spoke, and said softly, "But there is only one left."
"It's a single ......"
"One room is enough."
Moyu also wanted to ask if it was a single or double room.
As a result, before he finished speaking, he was taken by Menqi to take the lead, and even took a step forward and directly took out a large banknote and put it on the counter.
is so vigorous and resolute, it can be said that she has always implemented her style of acting.
Because there was no choice, Mo You didn't think there was anything, so he checked in.
"Come with me, both of you."
The freckled girl accepted the money, then walked to the staircase, bent down slightly, and motioned for Mo You and Menqi to follow.
Menqi walked over first.
Moyu followed, and before ascending the stairs, he glanced back at the short-haired black girl at the dining table in the corner.
From the angle he was in now, it was clear that the slightly green face of the short-haired girl in black was wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses that covered half of her face, and she wore a cross necklace around her neck.
"No......
Mo You withdrew his gaze without a trace, and then walked up the stairs.
After further seeing the appearance of the short-haired black girl, a name flashed through his mind.
Droplet?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
There was a burst of surprise in Moyu's heart.
However, based on those common characteristics alone, it is not directly certain that the other party is Xiao Di, the No. 8 member of the Phantom Brigade in the original book. ….
Even if the other party is really Xiaodi, he hasn't joined the Phantom Brigade at this time.
"Could it be her?"
Moyu's mind turned.
He was thinking—
Do you want to try to make contact with the girl?
After all, for him, every character who appeared in the original book is basically marked with some kind of potential reward.
If the other party is really a droplet, then no matter what he decides later, he can at least get a reward from the "perception".
"Master?"
Menqi's voice interrupted Moyu's thoughts.
Mo You came back to his senses and realized that he had come to the door of the room.
When the freckled girl who led the way heard Menqi's name for Mo You, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, but she quickly adjusted and explained some precautions to Mo You and Menqi with a smile.
After explaining some necessary things, the freckled girl left the key and turned to leave.
"Master, what were you thinking just now? I'm so fascinated by it."
After the freckled girl left, Menqi put down her pack and stared at Mo You with a scan-like look.
"Nothing."
Mo You said casually.
"Oh~~~!"
Menqi didn't believe it, and deliberately made elongated syllables.
She wanted to say if it was because of the black-haired girl downstairs, but in the end she hid it in her heart.
The night is getting darker.
The last remaining room in the inn is a single room.
Although there are all the things that should be there, after all, it is a single bed, and it is still a little crowded for two people to sleep.
So Mo You ignored Menqi's words of "just squeezed a little, it doesn't matter", and chose to lay on the floor next to the bed, just a thin sheet, barely making do.
In a dark room.
Menqi made a silent grimace at Mo You, who was lying on the ground, and then lay on his back to look at the darkness above, and slowly closed his eyes.
Even if she happened to meet a person with the ability to read at check-in, as long as the Master was around, she would be able to fall asleep without any worries.
Moyo turned his back to the bed and looked out at the small round window that was covered by the curtains.
At this time, he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply closed the sperm holes of his whole body and started the cultivation of "absolute".
I don't know how much time has passed, but Mo You suddenly opened his eyes.
"Huh?"
As far as the eye could see, the street outside the inn was half bathed in moonlight and half shrouded in darkness.
It's late at night, and the quieter environment amplifies footsteps.
Now.
The two figures, accompanied by the slight sound of footsteps, walked straight towards the inn along the black and white border.
With the help of the shadows' vision sharing, and the moon peeking out from behind the dark clouds, Mo You "saw" the appearance of the two figures.
One man and one woman.
The man has a slender body, thin eyebrows and wide eyes, a dark spot on his left cheek that appears to be a birthmark, and a black spike about a meter long in his hand.
The woman's figure is plump, phoenix eyes and a small mouth, and there is a white mark on her right cheek that looks like a fire molting, and when she walks, she holds a dagger and throws it up and down.
The shadow placed outside by Mo You quietly stared at a man and a woman walking along the street, and could see the unconcealed telekinesis of the man and woman.
and the ability to read......
I met three telepaths in half a day, and they were in such a remote town. ….
To say that it is a coincidence, it is really not convincing.
Could it be that he came for the black-haired girl who was suspected of being a droplet?
"Those two people are ......."
After seeing the appearance of the man and woman, Mo You's previous information about wanted criminals showed its effect, and he quickly recognized the identity of the other party.
"B-class wanted, wings."
Mo You raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to the information registered on the bounty billboard, Wings is a two-person criminal group that has committed several crimes with egregious effects.
The man's name is Reagan, and the woman's name is Pommel, and what these two people like to do most is kill people and get out of the way.
Now that the origin of the other party has been confirmed......
Then in Mo You's opinion, the other party is already two walking merits, and the experience points that can fill the "all" level.
"Let's wait and see."
Mo You stood still and gently slapped Menqi awake.
Outside the inn, on Stone Street.
Reagan and Pommel made a beeline for the hotel.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
Reagan, who had a black birthmark on his face, tilted his head slightly and looked at the floor above the hotel sign.
Pameyan took the falling dagger in his hand and did not speak, but his expression was hideous, full of real anger.
Reagan glanced at his companion's reaction and kicked open the door without hesitation.
Bang Dang!
Bell Bell Bell –
The door slammed into the ground, and the bell hanging from it made a loud noise.
This sudden loud sound suddenly pierced the silence of the night.
Located at the hotel
The lights quickly lit up in the partition room on the first floor, and even the houses on both sides of the stone street outside were lit one after another, obviously awakened by the loud noise.
"Who is it?"
The freckled girl who received Moyo and Menqi came out of the next room, and immediately saw Reagan and Pommel standing in the inn.
"You ...... What do you want to do......
The freckled girl, who didn't know Reagan and Pommel, looked frightened, and the clothes pole in her hands was clinging to her pajamas on her chest.
Reagan didn't care about the existence of the freckled girl, but tilted his head slightly, looking focused, as if sensing something.
And Pammel beside him just glanced at the clothes pole in the freckled girl's hand, and with a slight movement of his arm, he was about to send the dagger in his hand into the freckle girl's head.
The idea of this kind of thinking is no different from stepping on an ant to death.
Because in the eyes of the wings, an ordinary person is indeed no different from an ant.
"Strange."
Just as Pommel raised her hand, a female voice full of doubts suddenly came from the staircase.
The person who spoke was the short-haired black girl with glasses.
She stood at the top of the stairs neatly dressed, looked at Pommel and Reagan with a rather surprised look, and raised her index finger to her lower lip, and wondered:
[In other words, it is best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@, install the latest version.] 】
"I should have cleared the trail when I ran away, so how did you find here?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the girl's words, Reagan's face changed slightly, and the hideous Pame, who had a hideous expression, could not hide the anger in his heart.
"Cleaning up the trail? Don't forget to provoke when you're dying, you stinky rat!"
Reagan stared fiercely at the black-haired girl.
The black-haired girl was even more puzzled, tilting her head slightly.
"Why do you think I'm provoking?"
「……」
Reagan frowned, and he felt that the black-haired girl was really seriously seeking a solution.
"Stinky rat, after you stole the 'Black Widow's Tears' from us, you didn't mean to cover up your whereabouts at all, and now you say that you have cleared the traces, do you think this is a play house?"
"Talking nonsense with her."
Pommel made a move.
The dagger wrapped in condensed telekinesis flew out of his hand, slicing through the air and shooting straight into the black-haired girl's face.
"It's weird, it's common sense to clean up your tracks when you run away."
The black-haired girl muttered to herself as she raised her hands in a gesture to hold something, and her telekinesis floated, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a vacuum cleaner with eyes, teeth, and tongue.
"Did I forget?"
The girl swung the embodied vacuum cleaner inlet and knocked the flying dagger down.
This scene that happened in the hotel was "watched" by Mo You.
