A secluded base on the outskirts of Chidu, surrounded by green hills, except for a highway not far away, only a towering signal tower on the top of the hill is still conspicuous. The mountain has been hollowed out and turned into a steel fortress. This base has been used for special military missions, but today it belongs to the Directorate of Countermeasures.

After Li Si hung up the phone, he walked into a reception room that had been temporarily cleaned up, put on an appropriate smile, and said to the distinguished guests inside: "Miss Sakurako, for some reason, we will not directly provide you with too high a level of protection. But the good news is that we have found a reliable helper who will be able to take care of several security issues during this time, and I hope you can have a good mood in Dongzhou. ”

"Thank you very much, Director Li."

Moon Shadow Sakurako opened her mouth in standard Dongzhou official dialect, but her tone was a little tired, her eye bags were a little heavy, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night. The originally gorgeous long skirt on her body has been replaced by ordinary clothes, and Ayako is sitting next to her, and Huang is still dressed in that costume, holding the first quarter moon and standing behind the two of them meticulously.

"I wonder who this reliable helper is?"

"The ninth in the secret net killer - the judge."

Sakurako was slightly surprised, and said, "This is really surprising, does the judge also have anything to do with your countermeasures bureau?" I've heard that it's not that easy to ask him to help. ”

"There are some, but it's just reciprocal and he doesn't want to be controlled. I used some special channels to contact him, as long as there is money and the nature of the task is not a problem, it is not so difficult to hire a judge. Of course, we will pay this fee on our behalf, which is also a little sincerity on our part. ”

Li Si sat across from the three of them and filled the table with tea for a few empty teacups.

"Is it reliable?"

It was Huang who spoke, and there was distrust in her tone.

"His task completion rate is 100 percent, and according to the past situation, as long as he is willing to accept the task, there will naturally be no major problems."

Sakurako nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

"But ......" Li Si paused for a moment, and said seriously: "Just like I said just now, he doesn't like to be controlled, although I paid some price to invite him to help, but after all, this time he is facing Ying, he requires to ensure his own safety first, and then he will try his best to complete the task of protection." However, in a short period of time, we will not be able to find another bodyguard of the same level. ”

"This ...... Understandable. ”

Seeing that Sakurako still had some doubts, Li Si added: "In addition, he has only taken on the task for three days, and I hope we can solve all the problems smoothly in these three days." However, you can rest assured that our countermeasures bureau has other plans to keep you safe as much as possible while also leaving some unforgettable memories for that shadow. ”

Sakurako exchanged glances with the other two, and then said, "Director Li, thank you for your arrangement, these three days are enough time for us to make some arrangements, including the things we just mentioned." ”

"Haha, okay, I'll be relieved if I have Miss Sakurako, and before you get on the plane, the countermeasures bureau will definitely do its best to show our sincerity, and I hope that our future cooperation can go smoothly."

After that, Li Si raised the teacup in front of him and saluted Sakurako, who also raised the glass elegantly, saluted back, and took another sip.

Lu Yuansheng went home first, and he still needed to do a good job of disguise before going on this mission.

Sitting in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at the newly unsealed fake skins in the box, he reluctantly pasted them on his hands and face. This special fake skin has only a thin layer, and although it fits firmly to the skin without any potions, it still hurts the skin, and it cannot change the obvious face shape, only the appearance.

If it weren't for the fact that this mission would take three full days, he was afraid of being exposed, he really didn't want to post this thing again, it would take too much to do this business, and he hoped that he wouldn't touch this thing again in the future.

In the mirror, he looks ten years older, and he still has some acne marks on his face, as if he is already another person.

The pendant-style virtual shield around his neck was taken off by him again, and placed close to his body in a place where he could not see it, so as to prevent his identity from being revealed.

Finally, he took a voice-changing sugar pill, and his voice gradually thickened, and then he was satisfied with his luggage and his iconic panda mask and went out.

According to Li Sifa's information, he walked around in the mountains before he finally found the entrance before evening.

The guard at the gate had obviously been instructed in advance, and as soon as he saw Lu Yuansheng wearing a panda mask, he immediately let him go, and at the same time notified his commander.

Lu Yuansheng, led by several guards, walked to a closed door in the depths.

He had been watching the security of the facility all the way, but to his great disappointment, he walked all the way unimpeded, except for the guards on duty, there was no active defensive fortification, not even an intelligent security system.

But this seems to be a relatively advanced military base, why is it so careless? There are also important mission objectives hidden in it, is it possible that you want to play empty city plans with the shadow?

Lu Yuansheng believed that Li Si's old fox had a deep meaning in doing this, and he could know as long as he went in and asked.

He stood in front of the door, but did not rush in, but first threw his backpack to the side, moved his wrist, and then opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a figure pounced on him, but he was prepared and used his ability after pushing the door open.

In the black and white still world, he saw the figure clearly. The other party is a very beautiful little girl, taller than the previous Ayako, holding a long knife with a sheath in her hand, the length alone is almost as tall as a little girl, but this time he will not simply treat the other party as a junior high school student.

The little girl is a phoenix who has been waiting for a long time, and she burst out with the greatest strength the moment Lu Yuansheng opened the door, wanting to defeat the enemy with one blow.

Lu Yuansheng didn't immediately disarm his ability or fight back, he first took a look around the temporarily arranged living room. In the room, Li Si sat there and maintained a calm posture of drinking tea, obviously knowing about this incident for a long time.

And a tall woman and Ayako, who had saved her before, sat opposite Li Si, staring at this side as if watching a play.

He secretly said something bad in his heart, Ayako had heard his true voice at the beginning, and he had close contact with him. Although he wore a mask at the time, and he made sufficient preparations this time, who knows if the other party will recognize him from some details.

At the same time, he made up his mind that he could no longer be a good man in the future, and he would be soft to pick up everything he saw at home.

As for the girl who was still in the air, it was obviously the highest force value of the three. The long knife was simple and heavy, but it was gorgeous under the decoration of various patterns, and holding such a long and heavy long knife, the posture and movement of the girl's hand were still steady, and the position of the tip of the scabbard corresponded to the chest of Lu Yuansheng to the vicinity of the throat.

As you can imagine, without the scabbard, this would have been a fatal blow.

Knowing that the other party just wanted to test himself, Lu Yuansheng also decided to keep his hand.

He took the position of entering the door first, sideways the long knife that Huang stabbed straight at, flicked the whip leg, and kicked the opponent's thigh from the side.

The stationary world re-rotates when it is about to hit the target.

In the eyes of everyone, the panda-masked man who had just entered deftly avoided the long knife, and the phoenix that had been violently kicked away by him with a side kick instead.

Huang quickly adjusted her posture in the air and landed steadily, but the hot pain on her left hip made her feel a little humiliated, so she pulled out the long knife in her hand, the silver-white blade was mixed with light golden substances, and the cold light of the forest was a gorgeous beauty under the illumination of the lights in the room. And her exposed arms and calves were also tense, and the strong lines hid a huge force that was about to burst out.

But no matter how it is, it can't be faster than Lu Yuansheng, he once again stood still in the world, still thinking in his heart: "Won't this girl grow up eating Yaojing like Ayako, just now I specially picked a place with a lot of meat to kick, how does it feel like kicking a wooden plank." Or has this guy done some kind of transformation? ”

Seeing that the other party was fine, he decided to be ruthless, so he took out a thin blade, went around behind the phoenix, and stuck the blade on the opponent's neck.

The ability was lifted, and Huang heard a cold and rough voice from behind him: "Is it enough?" ”

At the same time, there was a cold touch on her neck, she couldn't understand when the other party was close, she didn't react at all, but her tense body still didn't relax.

"Smack, smack, slap......"

The tall woman applauded to break the deadlock, and when she heard this voice, Huang's body relaxed, and she took the initiative to put down the hand holding the knife, indicating that she had given up resisting.

Although Ayako's eyes were also a little surprised, she seemed to remember something, but she was not very sure in her heart, so she simply continued to say nothing.

Lu Yuansheng also removed the blade, and the cold light flashed and he didn't know where it was hidden, and Huang also dodged to the side close to Sakura for the first time, and slowly closed the long knife.

Sakurako stood up, gave an apology, and said, "Mr. Judge, please forgive Huang for being rude, we just want to confirm your skills, the ability you have shown is simply amazing, I am impressed." ”

"Speak normally."

Lu Yuansheng didn't like this kind of literary tone.

"It's rude."

But Sakurako only lowered her head slightly, looking at her without wanting to change.

Lu Yuansheng guessed that the other party was the target he wanted to protect, and only the old nobles of Sun Moon Continent had always adhered to this kind of troublesome etiquette.

Li Si also stood up and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Mr. Judge, I also admire it very much, if I am still young, then I must also want to have a good time with Mr. Judge." ”

Lu Yuansheng scolded in his heart: "You didn't beat me less when you were young. ”

He didn't make a sound, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, his hands crossed in front of his chest, both pretending to be and giving Li Si time to continue talking.

"Then I'll introduce it to you first, first of all, this is the judge who ranks ninth on the killer list, presumably everyone has a certain understanding of Mr. Judge's strength just now."

Li Si walked between the crowds, first signaled to Sakura and the others, and then turned to Lu Yuansheng and said: "This is the target that needs to be protected in this mission, the head of the Moon Shadow family, Moon Shadow Sakurako, next to her sister, Ayako, who just fought with you is Sakura's personal guard, Huang." ”

Lu Yuansheng nodded, and said hello, Li Si said again: "It's tiring for us to stand and talk, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”

Lu Yuansheng was not polite, he walked directly over to find a place to sit down, cocked Erlang's legs, Li Si also beckoned the other three to sit down, and when everyone was seated, he filled up the tea for everyone one by one, and then sat next to Lu Yuansheng.

However, Huang still stood rigidly behind Sakura, staring at Lu Yuansheng with an unkind face.

This made Lu Yuansheng feel a little uncomfortable, and said secretly: "As for it?" ”

"Huang, you can also sit down and rest, don't neglect our distinguished guests."

Sakurako sensed that something was wrong with the phoenix and moved out of the way so that she could sit next to her.

Then Sakura raised her teacup again and said to Lu Yuansheng with apologies: "Lord Judge, we trespassed just now, I will toast you first and apologize." ”

"Alright, let's get to the point, is dragging here trying to buy time for Ei to kill you?" Having said that, Lu Yuansheng still picked up the teacup and took another sip, which was considered a return gift, but he said again: "Li Si, your tea is a little cold." ”

"Well, I'll go get another pot."

Li Si smiled, even though the tea had just been boiled for a long time, and it was even a little hot, he still neatly picked up the teapot and pushed the door out.

Sakurako understood that the judge wanted space to talk alone with her, so she took the initiative to ask, "I wonder what the judge has to say?" ”

"I want to explain three things clearly, if you don't agree, even if Li Si pulls down his old face and invites me to come, I will turn around and leave, don't expect him to have a big face, I have my own principles."

"Speak, please."

Lu Yuansheng raised his index finger and said, "First, I only protect you within my ability, if I feel that it is beyond my ability, then you will ask for more blessings, I am not here to sell my life." ”

Sakurako nodded, Li Si had already told them in advance.

"No problem."

Lu Yuansheng stretched out a second finger, and continued: "Second, these three days are subject to my command, you had better trust me unconditionally, if you don't follow the instructions and act at will and have an accident, it has nothing to do with me, and I may even choose to evacuate according to the situation." ”

Sakurako glanced at Huang, saw that the other party was expressionless, and replied, "Yes." ”

"Third, change the way you speak to me, I'm too tired to listen."

Lu Yuansheng shook three fingers, which was unexpected by Sakurako, she smiled and said, "Okay." ”

"Any questions? If you have, hurry up and make it clear, don't delay the time. ”

Sakurako turned her gaze to the phoenix next to her, or rather at the first quarter moon, and said, "We hope that Mr. Judge will take this long knife as the most important object of protection when protecting us, it is more important than our lives." ”

Lu Yuansheng frowned, although the other party couldn't see it, he asked puzzledly: "What is the meaning of these things when people die?" ”

"It's faith."

"Then you might as well put it in a safe place in advance, Li Si must have a way, if it doesn't work, leave it to me for safekeeping."

But as soon as Lu Yuansheng's words fell, the three of Sakurako said in unison: "No! ”

Yes, Lu Yuansheng didn't force it, he couldn't understand these people's dedication to faith.

Seeing this, Sakurako also explained, "This knife is an important token of our clan, and its significance is very important, so please understand." ”

"Alright, I just hope the guy with the knife doesn't run around." Lu Yuansheng glanced at Sakura.

"Don't worry."

Sakurako paused, her beautiful eyes wandered, and she said in a soft tone, "Besides, I don't know if Mr. Judge is interested in taking on a new task." ”

But Lu Yuansheng decisively refused Sanlian: "No, don't think about it, I'm not available." ”

"The remuneration is negotiable, and it will definitely not be disadvantaged to you."

Lu Yuansheng shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of money. ”

"100 million."

"It's not ...... Money is a problem. ”

"It is a general business volume of 100 million around the sea."

"This is not ......" Lu Yuansheng's heart jumped, he had never seen such a large number, and the words were paused, but he quickly squeezed the words that had already come to his lips...... Money is a problem. ”

"If you have other requirements, you can continue to do so, and if you are willing to join our Moon Shadow family, the annual salary will be more than this number, and there are other supporting ......"

"I've said it all......"

"The way you join our family can be through marriage with our people, or even ...... My sister, Ayako. As Sakurako spoke, Ayako's face was already slightly red, but she didn't express any objections.

"Enough!"

At the same time, accompanied by a "snap", this was the sound of Lu Yuansheng slapping his slap on the table, which calmed the other party.

Only then did he say in a cold voice: "I said that time is limited, and I won't accompany you if you continue to talk about it." ”

"It's rude." Sakurako saw that she couldn't talk about it, and she didn't force it, and at the same time owed a slight bow.

Lu Yuansheng's face softened slightly, I don't know if he was heartbroken about the loss of billions of big business just now or if he didn't like the other party's words.

Seeing that there was nothing left to talk about, he shouted, "Li Si, where's our tea?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Si's voice came from outside the door: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

The door opened, and he was carrying a teapot of the same style as before, and as soon as he came in, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this place to make tea is a little far away, and I will just come back." ”

First poured tea for Lu Yuansheng and Sakurako, he also rolled up his sleeves and sat down and asked, "I don't know where I just said?" ”

Everyone present also tacitly agreed, and Lu Yuansheng took the lead in speaking: "We need a safe place to live, preferably almost closed. ”

Li Si nodded and said, "I also have this idea, and I have already arranged for someone to prepare it in advance." ”

"And give me a detailed map, I need to familiarize myself with the environment in advance." Lu Yuansheng added.

"Yes."

Lu Yuansheng pointed to the phoenix again and said, "She also came with me." ”

Huang glanced at Sakura beside him, and saw that the other party had no opinion, so he also nodded.

Lu Yuansheng drank all his tea, slightly gestured to the empty cup, and then turned to Huang and shouted, "Let's go." ”

But he was secretly scolding Li Sibu in his heart, this tea is really cold now, this old fox is so lazy to even change the pot of tea, he has been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, but fortunately he resisted the temptation.
