Chapter 16: Seek the Light or Step into the Darkness?

Based on real events

When Chu Wan and Mingxin came to the street, it was still very early, and there were not many people coming and going, and there were mostly small merchants and vendors on the roadside preparing what they wanted to sell.

Chu Wan unconsciously tightened her hood and tightened Mingxin's sleeves - she occasionally came out to stock up on supplies before, for fear of being recognized, but now she is walking on the street so openly, which makes her a little unaccustomed.

Mingxin felt Chu Wan's movements, and held Chu Wan's hand pulling his sleeve with his hand, and gently rubbed it on it, as if he was comforting the other party.

Chu Wan unconsciously calmed down and relaxed a little, but he still couldn't help but look left and right.

"Hey, the one over there, the one in the black cloak, it's you, take off your hat!" Chu Wan couldn't help but be startled when he heard someone shouting, and subconsciously clenched Mingxin's hand, trembling and wanting to hide.

Seeing this, the person who stopped her immediately became suspicious, stepped forward and pulled her hat, and subconsciously tried to cover his face, but completely forgot that he was now using a completely different face from the original.

"What, sneaky, I thought you were on a wanted list." The man said in disappointment.

"I'm sorry, this friend of mine is more afraid of life." Mingxin stepped forward and blocked the first pull to play a round.

"Then tell your friend, don't come out in a black cloak next time, we heard the news that the guy on the wanted warrant is used to wearing a black cloak to buy a lot of supplies and go back to hoard, that person has been at large for so long, and the administrator can't catch it, we can't give it to her, sooner or later let her show her stuffing!" The man crossed his waist and frowned, and took a "puff" on the ground.

"So that's the case, we just came here, and we don't know the place well, thanks to you for telling us this, otherwise we will suffer, thank you." Mingxin smiled.

"That ......" Chu Wan used magic to change her voice, in order to maintain the life-fearing character that Mingxin had forged for herself, she carefully raised her head, lowered her voice and asked, "Is the news that this wanted criminal will wear a black cloak to come out, is it reliable?" ”

"Of course it's reliable!" The man patted his chest very heartily and said, "You strangers may not know, but this is news from the Intelligence Group, Intelligence Group!" They're better informed than the administrators. ”

"Don't talk too much to them, be careful that the news leaks to that wanted criminal, we haven't seen her in a while, we can't guarantee that someone in the intelligence team who doesn't have her will give her a tip-off, and you are blatantly yelling on the street, in case she hears it, go back and change her clothes." Qin Yufeng didn't know where to come from, and glared at Chu Wan gloomily, "Also, you foreigners, it's better to ask less about these things." ”

With that, she walked away with the man who had come out to undress her cloak.

Seeing them walk away, Chu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Listening to them say this, it's better not to wear a hat today, I'm sorry for the trouble for you, I was a little stressed just now." ”

"It's okay, I understand." Mingxin patted Chu Wan's back, "Do you want to go to the intelligence group to take a look, I think it's a little suspicious, maybe you can find out what you want." ”

"It's useless." "The last time I wore a black cloak and sent that letter of apology, they have strengthened their guards, and now people must go through magic verification when they enter - probably because they know that I have been there after reading the content of the apology letter, and the kind of verification that can easily see through my disguise, I can't get in at all." ”

"Did you forget something?" Mingxin smiled and approached Hatsuwan's face.

"What?"

"You can't get in, but I can."

"Let you go to that kind of smoky place? No way. ”

"Eh, I guess it's fulfilling my wish to go and see it." Mingxin said coquettishly.

Chu Wan couldn't refuse her look, so he held his forehead and shook his head, sighed and said, "Okay, I lost to you." ”

Mingxin showed a particularly innocent smile as if she had succeeded, which made Chu Wan feel that this did not match her heart at all. But since that's all the same, what else can be said? So the two of them set off for the group.

Since Chu Wan couldn't go in, she waited on the bench outside, while Mingxin went in.

It was not unreasonable for Chu Wan to be a little uneasy about letting her go to that kind of place, where there was a mixture of fish and dragons, information flying all over the sky, and the truth and falsehood were all mixed together, and she was afraid that Mingxin would be exposed to some remarks about herself and something like that, so she would abandon herself or somethingβ€”she had to admit that she had developed an unusual dependence on Mingxin.

Mingxin entered the intelligence group, and the space of the intelligence group is not particularly large, all kinds of information are piled up on the long table, but at least half of them are Chu Wan's wanted notices, travel methods and habits, weapons, ways to move, how to prevent and other intelligence items, Ming Xin glanced at it, and the level of detail of the things recorded on it was like someone was following Chu Wan.

"Hehe, there's a new guest coming, what are you looking for?" A man sitting on a stool smoking a cigarette asked, "We have everything you want." ”

Mingxin said bluntly: "I want to investigate this person." ”

"Just by name...... Who sent you? That wanted man? The person in the chair and the people who were currently in the intelligence group all looked at Mingxin in unison, as if they were very vigilant.

"No, I'm a foreigner, and when I went into the city, I heard someone talking about her, so I was a little curious." Mingxin remained calm, but Shan was actually a little flustered.

"No wonder you don't look like our person when you hear it, I don't doubt your credibility for the time being, since you're from a foreign country, it's not a bad thing to know more about her, after all, she's an out-and-out demon, and she can make us disappear at any time, if you meet her, don't tell your real name." The man picked up a stack of information slips and handed them to Mingxin, "No, this is what you want, stranger, I advise you to come to a place like the intelligence group, you should come less in the future." ”

"Why? Isn't it convenient to inquire about information from here? Mingxin took the information slip and asked.

"You're so curious...... It's up to you to think about it. Plus, if there's nothing else you want, you're good to go. The man waved his hand in the chair.

Mingxin had no reason to stay, so he came out with the information and motioned for Chu Wan to go to a farther place with her.

Chu Wan followed Mingxin to a hidden alley, and began to read the information, maybe the content of the information was too detailed, Chu Wan began to tremble all over his body halfway through reading, and the trembling information strips were shaking together.

"Are you alright?" Mingxin noticed the change in Chu Wan and looked at her with concern.

"No, it's fine...... I was even more curious about where I got all this information, so they almost wrote down how I went to the bathroom. "Coupled with what happened on the street just now, I feel more and more that I am not ......."

"Watched?" Mingxin picked up the unfinished words of Chu Wan.

"Yes, it is possible that that person came today just to test the reliability of their intelligence officer's intelligence, but where are those people spying on me? Didn't reveal where I'm hiding...... No, what if they didn't explode on purpose? Chu Wan frowned, the trembling of her body and the unusual cold made her unable to concentrate and think, so she crouched down and curled herself up, "I'm sorry, I can't control it." ”

"Your hands are so cold." Mingxin squatted down and held her hand, "Are you cold?" ”

Chu Wan shook his head, his breath obviously unstable: "That's not it...... It's just that...... The thought of someone might be watching me all the time scares me. It feels like ...... Fear that there is nowhere to escape. Maybe now even if I'm friends with you and disguised myself, they'll know about it...... If it's debunked again this time......"

"Don't be afraid." Mingxin raised his hand and touched Chu Wan's head, "Now that I am with you, I will accompany you no matter what, we are one step closer to finding out about you when we come into contact with these things...... We'll figure it out someday. ”

"I'm sorry." Chu Wan raised his head, and his tone trembled a little: "But I can't let you participate in this matter, if it affects you......"

"Chu Bang." Mingxin frowned, seemed a little dissatisfied, and interrupted her, "I said a long time ago that I didn't care. ”

"But I care!" Chu Wan was a little excited, and yelled for a while, but soon her tone calmed down again, "I'm sorry, but, you won't be the same as me, there won't be an abusive note in front of your house, you don't have to be afraid to go to the street, you don't have to worry about your hiding place being exposed, you don't have to live to be scared, you don't have to worry about not being able to make friends, but I will, I will!" ”

As she spoke, she felt that her eyes were a little wet, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, pulled up her hood and hid her face in the shadows, Mingxin didn't say anything, and gently held her in her arms: "I know, so you have suppressed emotions, you don't have to endure it in front of me, you don't have to be afraid that I will leave you, and you don't have to be afraid of the impact you have on me, because I am friends with you, and I am ready to face all this." Chuwan, you have to remember that people who really want to be friends with you will not abandon you because of these things. ”

Chu Wan endured it and didn't cry, but she hugged Mingxin, grabbed her clothes tightly, and whispered, "Don't leave me, okay?" Don't abandon me like everyone else......"

"I swear, I'll never leave you." Mingxin patted her gently, waited for her to let go of her hand, stood up and stretched out her hand to her, "Chu Wan, cheer up, let's face it together." ”

Chu Wan looked up at her. For some reason, she felt as if a blinding light and burning heat emanated from Mingxin's body. She realized in a split second that the feeling she was emanating from her body might one day stab herself.

But...... She enjoyed the feeling of the light coming to her, and was willing to embrace it like a moth to a fire.

In this regard...... It's okay to be selfish, right....... She thought.

Chu Wan hesitated for a moment and took her hand, slowly stood up from the ground, took a long time to take a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and decided to read the rest of the information with Mingxin.
