"Mr. Ji Xun, where are we going now?"

"Refugee camps."

“...”

This underground world is boundless, and the mechanical city is like a gopher everywhere.

Hundreds of miles from Bolton City are dangerous no-man's land.

Ji Xun is now in a weak state and can barely protect himself, but he can't guarantee that he can bring a Song Yu who is also weak in combat power to arrive in other cities safely.

What's more, neither of them had any intention of leaving.

Ji Xun was very interested in the source of the vampire's pollution, and there were all kinds of indications that there seemed to be some high-level transcendent secrets involved behind it;

And Song Yu also has to wait for the lord handover procedures from the Federation, and she also has to take care of her Rose Chamber of Commerce.

After weighing the pros and cons, it is only safer in refugee camps.

On the side of the dark mountain road, Ji Xun led Song Yu and the little turtledove to hide in the corner.

They did not go directly to the camp.

Instead, they plan to wait here for the next wave of new refugees, and then blend in as a reasonable person.

This will be a lot less troublesome.

The little turtledove is not very old, but it is already very sensible.

Just now, Ji Xun jumped off the mechanical city like a chicken, not only did he not feel dangerous, but he was full of excitement.

Even if you know the danger.

Because at this moment, he already knew that the gentleman he picked up by chance in the morning was a very, very powerful card master.

Not only the breathing method was taught, but also the boxing technique.

This is already a blessing from heaven in a refugee camp where a piece of black bread can fight for people's lives.

Of course, at this moment, the little turtledove has not yet realized the value of these exercises.

didn't realize that meeting Ji Xun was an accelerated turn of the gears of his fate.

The little turtledove has been a refugee for a long time, and is not afraid of the dark wilderness. At the moment, I am meditating with my eyes closed and diligently practicing the introductory tips of breathing.

On the other side, Song Yu and Ji Xun were also chatting.

The eldest lady of the chaebol family still feels like she is dreaming until now.

On weekdays, I don't say that I come to the wilderness to stay overnight, but I rarely go out at night.

It was frighteningly quiet and windy.

Occasionally, there was a terrifying howl from some unknown monster, which made people's hearts chill.

The cold light source of the alchemy gem illuminated the face on the opposite side, which was extremely indifferent from beginning to end, and Song Yu glanced at it from time to time, and his heart was inexplicably stable.

The cold environment also cleared her mind.

She knew very well that if it weren't for the "Mr. Chaoyang" who suddenly appeared in her world in front of her, whether it was her aunt's vicious calculations or internal ghosts, it would be enough to make her die many times.

It's hard to put into account this life-saving grace.

Now her trust in Ji Xun is like a long-time best friend.

He said to go, and she followed without hesitation.

And after experiencing this drastic change in life, Song Yu's mentality has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

But when she came back to her senses, she also knew that the situation was not good.

Song Yu looked at Ji Xun, and the kind girl's eyes were full of apologies: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji Xun, I've bothered you." I didn't expect that to be the case."

Originally, I just wrote a letter to meet up.

The scene in her vision, the two may have a very pleasant date.

Walking by the river, talk about life ideals, talk about history and literature, and talk about those business ideas that transcend the times.

I didn't think it would be such a way to meet.

The "rising sun" came as promised, but it was also involved in a huge death crisis.

If he didn't care about himself, he wouldn't be in any danger at all, would he?

I'm really sorry.

Song Yu thought so.

But looking at that indifferent look, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Mr. Ji Xun is really amazing.

Obviously not the kind of outrageous top-level card master, but he always feels that he can handle all threats calmly.

This kind of indifference is not only strength.

There seems to be a kind of certainty about the future destiny.

I'm sure they'll be safe.

"Huh. It's not a big deal."

Hearing that, Ji Xun smiled.

Nor did I know how to respond.

If it were to be changed to other places, even if it was Ji Xun's mentality, he would still feel that the situation in front of him was full of dangers.

But because he really came from a hundred years later,

Knowing some of the "results" in the future.

So a lot of things are pushed back and you will find that things are predictable.

For example, the little boy next to me.

When he met Little Turtledove before, he didn't feel anything.

I thought it was a child with excellent talent who I met casually, and I was interested in clicking my finger casually.

However, after chatting with Song Yu at the dinner party, I learned that the timeline was a hundred years ago.

Substituting this condition, things are different again.

Take a closer look at this small facial features, isn't it the top master "Mr. Dove" who handed over the letter to him before?

At this time, Ji Xun finally understood why when he submitted the letter before, it was obviously the first time they met, but the Mr. Dove would say "I've seen it before".

It can be seen that the little turtledove really lived to a hundred years later.

And according to Ji Xun's conjecture, Song Yu should also be like this.

Otherwise, this girl really died now, and no one would remember those letters in a hundred years, and she would have been looking for herself for a hundred years.

So.

Knowing the result, and then thinking about the cause, doesn't this make sure that they can't die?

It's just that the process is unknown.

This is also the situation that he thinks is the most likely after analysis.

Even if it is really a "parallel universe", after he travels through, what he does can change the direction of the future world, and the future is uncertain.

But one thing can be assured of the fact that one of the consequences is that they survived.

Then the time closed loop of "→ sending letters → crossing after a hundred years" was completed.

Since it is not certain death, there is nothing for him to worry about.

Ji Xun's mind was complicated, and he didn't feel implicated at all, and some just sighed at the magic of traveling through time and space.

On the contrary, he was also grateful to meet Song Yu and gave him a wonderful life experience.

Ji Xun was no longer polite, and instead said, "Everything else is a trivial matter. You think about who the inner ghost might have been the one who arranged it. Since I already plan to kill you, I will do it in the future."

"Hmm."

Song Yu also nodded.

The girl's mind was much more complicated, and her pretty face was full of sorrow.

Worried that she didn't have much, she still felt that she was burdening her friends.

Food is being distributed here in Bolton Mechanical, which is good news for war refugees.

So in recent times, hundreds of refugees have been arriving almost every day.

Ji Xun and the three of them waited for a few hours on the side of the three roads, and then they saw a team of hundreds of refugees coming on foot from a distance.

The three of them also took the opportunity to sneak in.

These refugees come from all over the town, large and small, and are always being joined and left behind.

No one cared about the three extra strangers.

Ji Xun went to the team to "smooth" some civilian clothes, and of course left money.

After changing their outfits, it wasn't long before they arrived at the Bolton Formation again.

They set up their tents in shanty towns outside the town and quietly blended in with the army of refugees.

The days in the shantytown are very boring, except for the occasional walk around the shantytown, and most of the time you can only stay in the tent.

In order not to attract attention, Ji Xun and the three of them also made a simple tent.

The little turtledove breathing method is just getting started, and it has not yet reached the level of replacing sleep with meditation.

I spent a night of hard work last night, and now I'm very sleepy, and I'm sleeping.

Ji Xun and Song Yu were meditating on the side.

Ji Xun can endure loneliness and is used to all kinds of harsh environments.

Whether it's in the Machine City or in the tent, he can meditate efficiently.

And the environment of the tent is a bit bad for Song Yu.

The Mai fabric was as rough as thorn weaving to her, a chaebol lady who had been worsted since she was a child.

The burrs touched her delicate skin, making her uncomfortable.

The mixed stench in the air also made her uncomfortable, and her brows frowned slightly.

But.

Not adapting is really not adapting.

But she didn't show any hypocrisy.

Song Yu was well aware of his situation and never complained about anything, but tried to adapt to the environment.

Ji Xun also saw it.

This girl is really good.

The three of them stayed in the tent like this all morning.

There was enough food in the storage ring, and they didn't have to worry about it.

After lunch, Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation and said, "I'm going to inquire about the information." The little turtledove is in the tent. ”

Little Turtledove nodded: "Oh, okay. Mr. Ji Xun. ”

This little guy has a lot of acquaintances in the refugee camp, and it's not convenient to go out and show up.

Before Ji Xun finished speaking, he saw a pair of waiting eyes looking at him.

The girl obviously wanted to go along, because it didn't give her any security.

Except for Ji Xun.

But Song Yu was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he could only ask weakly: "Can I go with me?" ”

"Of course."

Ji Xun looked at her timid appearance and smiled.

Staying in a refugee camp is not safer than hiding in a tent than hanging out outside.

If the enemy really wants to find it, the behavior of hiding in the tent is even more suspicious.

Saying this, Song Yu's pretty face, which had always been melancholy, finally stretched out.

She thought of something, and took the linen headscarf beside her, covering her face and hair, and even her eyes were covered with worn-out goggles.

This disguise is full of flaws in Ji Xun's eyes.

Song Yu caught Ji Xun's pouting micro-expression, and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Ji Xun, I didn't do a good job?" ”

Ji Xun pondered the words for a moment and said, "It's okay." It's almost pointless, though. ”

Song Yu heard that "it's okay", but it was "too bad" at all.

To put it so tactfully, it is completely about taking care of your own feelings.

She was a little frustrated, and muttered in her heart: Obviously, she passed the first place in the costume ball of the academy before.

But she also removed her headscarf and said sincerely, "Can you help me?" ”

I don't know why, she looked at the smile on the corner of her mouth, and always felt that the other party had a way.

It's a matter of life, and you can't be careless.

"Well, I'll try."

Ji Xun didn't grind much, reached out and buckled a piece of yellow mud on the rocky ground, and then after making it sticky with a little water, he wiped it directly on Song Yu's face.

Chi Peng's cheeks were fingered, a touch of coolness, and Song Yujing's eyes trembled for a moment.

It's the first time that someone of the opposite sex has touched his face like this.

It's not an intimate gesture, but it's just to give her a kind of . A slight startled feeling.

Ji Xun is a professional actor, and makeup is just a basic life skill.

He is like a painter, focused, steady and quick.

Soon, Song Yu looked at his fair face in the mirror and turned rough and yellow. It's also amazing that because of the contrast in light, the layering is created, so that the face shape is visibly changed with the naked eye.

This disguise is much more natural than what she made herself.

"That should do."

Ji Xun quickly finished painting, and then took the unused mud and brought himself such a set.

Looking at this magical change, Song Yu was also surprised: "Mr. Ji Xun still wears makeup?" ”

"Hmm. I used to be an actor. ”

Ji Xun explained casually.

Song Yu blinked when he listened, and his previous apprehension instantly calmed down.

It's really anything.

The two of them made some simple disguises and walked out of the tent.

Walked all the way in the tent area.

Ji Xun also told Song Yu about the basic knowledge of disguise from time to time.

"Relax a little. Don't look around. You have to give yourself a psychological hint, this is the stage play, you are now playing a textile worker, don't be so curious, don't be so unconfident, you have done a good job. ”

"Oh. Mr. Ji Xun, what about this? ”

"Pretty good. In case you encounter a suspicious gaze, don't dodge, and don't instinctively want to hide. That will attract more attention. You can even deliberately show a little face and look at each other with suspicion"

"Hmm."

“.”

I have to say that Song Yu is really smart.

The little tricks that Ji Xun told him, she could learn quickly.

Eyes, shape, walking posture, momentum. Something.

With a little pointing, you can learn well.

As Ji Xun expected, when they were walking in the tent area, they encountered several guys who were suspected of being scouts.

Some were commissioned by the Rose Chamber of Commerce to find people, some were enemies, and some were thieves or something.

Ji Xun didn't show any flaws.

This kind of performance has been integrated into his bones for him, and it is easy to come by.

Whatever he plays, that's what he is.

It did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.

Song Yu beside him gradually entered the state. After using Professor Ji Xun's camouflage skills to hide from several suspicious people, her mentality quickly became confident from the previous apprehension, and then she was full of adventure and small expectations.

This young lady of the chaebol family is also a real experience of the life of the people at the bottom.

This immersive play gave her a very different experience.

It was a feeling of being filled with a rich soul.

And the most important thing is that Song Yu thinks that the script of brother and sister played by Ji Xun is really novel.

Soon, Song Yu has fully adapted to this role, and she can calmly hold Ji Xun's hand and point around.

After wandering around, the two came to the bustling trading market.

War refugees are not beggars.

They are just ordinary people whose homes have been eroded and displaced by the war.

A lot of people are actually quite wealthy.

Doctors, teachers, craftsmen, merchants. There are all kinds of professions.

The shanty towns also have their own trading markets.

There are stalls where all kinds of goods are traded, as well as juggling and taming, humble burlesque, magic shows and even taverns run by speculative merchants.

Except for the environment, it is no different from the lively town.

Ji Xun and Song Yu plunged into the crowd.

"Wow, look at that magician, he turned into a flame teleporter!"

"It's just a bit of an alchemy potion. Prop magic, not too difficult"

"Hey, Mr. Ji Xun, the little ball just now was obviously in this bowl, why did it go to the other side."

"That's the real thing. I changed it when I buckled it before."

"Look, how does that man have three hands?"

"That's a thief. The one that is exposed is a fake hand, and the one below is the real hand. ”

"Huh?"

“.”

Although Song Yu was already very restrained, he was still very excited.

This chaebol daughter is the first time to integrate into civilian life as a civilian.

On weekdays, she doesn't go to the civilian neighborhood at all, and she doesn't see those strange low-level tricks.

It was as if the door to a new world had been opened.

She's like a curious baby, curious about everything.

Ji Xun didn't think it was anything.

With his observation by his side, even if this girl shows some flaws, it is not a big problem.

After all, the two of them came to inquire about the news, so they deliberately went to the notice board to take a look.

It's lively and crowded.

Song Yu was afraid that he would get separated, so he unconsciously grabbed Ji Xun's arm and didn't let go.

The two squeezed through.

This look, as expected.

The most conspicuous position on the notice board is the missing person notice.

Song Yu's hand-painted avatar is at the top.

The Rose Chamber of Commerce has offered a million-dollar reward.

Predictable.

After all, this is also the best means of finding people.

At the same time, there is a wanted warrant.

The avatar above is someone from him.

Ji Xun looked at his wanted warrant, and the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, which was not strange at all.

After all, judging from the situation at the scene, Mrs. Mela died, the guards died, and Song Yu, who was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was also missing

The biggest suspect is, of course, the unknown "Mr. Chaoyang".

Song Yu on the side looked at his missing person notice, and couldn't help but worry in his heart: Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce must be very worried.

But in a blink of an eye, looking at Ji Xun's wanted warrant, the guilt in his heart instantly came out again.

Only she, the client, knows that the person on the wanted warrant is not only not a criminal, but has also saved her life many times.

If you die, you can't explain it clearly.

At the same time, the two million-dollar bounty warrants and missing person notices also attracted a large number of onlookers.

There was a lot of talking.

"Oh my God, Miss Song from the Rose Chamber of Commerce has been kidnapped?"

"Oh, such a kind young lady was kidnapped by bandits, I really hope she comes back safely."

"I should have guessed. That guy is a gang of bandits, otherwise how could it be so coincidental! These hateful thieves, damn it."

“.”

The vast majority of civilians are very simple-minded and can easily be influenced by public opinion.

In their solidified minds, the person on the wanted warrant is the most vicious criminal.

Pointing to Ji Xun's avatar one by one, all kinds of vicious curses were spoken.

Ji Xun doesn't care.

But Song Yu on the side had never experienced such a thing.

She listened to those evil words, and at this moment she only had a strong thought in her heart, wanting to explain to everyone who was pointing around: Mr. Ji Xun is a good person! It's my savior!

But she knew that those could not be said now.

The contradiction in her heart made her hold a breath of turbidity that she couldn't exhale, and it was very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Song Yu glanced at Ji Xun beside him again, and could only say weakly: "I'm sorry"

"Huh"

Ji Xun smiled disappreciatively in response.

He never took it seriously.

After all, he has never been on the wanted list in this world, and his heart has long been undisturbed.

It's just self-deprecating that I traveled back a hundred years ago and was wanted again. That's a bit of a coincidence.

Wanted Physique?

After all, I'm here to inquire about the news.

Ji Xun and Song Yu were not in a hurry to go back.

After wandering around, I also found out a lot of information.

What Baron Bolton attaches great importance to and looks for people everywhere; The people of the Rose Chamber of Commerce are also looking for her, and all kinds of forces are looking for her.

Things turned out to be similar to what Ji Xun expected.

After Song Yu "disappeared", the topic became to find someone, not assassination.

However, these civilians know the truth limitedly, and Ji Xun is not much interested after listening to it for a while.

However, he heard something else.

"Hey, have you heard of 'vampires'? It is said that some demon soldiers have appeared on the battlefield and they will suck human blood"

"Why haven't you heard of it! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. Those bandits have become blue-faced, fanged vampires, and they can't be killed with guns. It's horrible."

"Be careful. I've heard that it's a 'blood plague', and when you're hungry, you want to get infected if you get bitten by a bloodsucker. It is said that there are vampires in the middle of the night in the refugee camp who come and secretly suck blood, and last night I saw a couple of men in black take two bodies from a tent."

“.”

As Ji Xun walked, his ears also cleared up the complicated conversations of pedestrians on the street.

He heard about "vampires".

"Some kind of blood plague."

Ji Xun was also pondering in his heart.

That's okay with that.

With such large-scale pollution, it is difficult to spread it through ordinary means.

The plague is also justified.

But looking at the signs, it's a bit out of control.

If it were a plague, this highly populated refugee camp would be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's brows tightened.

While he was thinking, the two of them walked to a row of tents and small stalls.

Song Yu was still curious about everything, and at this time she saw a tent shaking, and made some strange noises, and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what is that shop selling?" It's weird."

Ji Xun glanced at it and said casually: "That's the 'Liuying House'." ”

Hearing an unfamiliar word, Song Yu instinctively asked, "What's that?" ”

Seeing her so curious, Ji Xun suddenly had a heart together and said: "The wandering warbler is a kind of bird with a gentle song, which is usually used by people to describe some special sounds. ”

Song Yu: "Oh? That's selling birds? ”

"Nope."

A hint of banter appeared on Ji Xun's face, and he corrected: "In layman's terms, this is a low-end Fengyue field. ”

Song Yu listened very seriously at first, thinking that Ji Xun wanted to give him some knowledge.

But when she heard the explanation behind, she immediately understood what the situation was with the movement, and her pretty face was instantly hot, shocked and ashamed: "Ah? ”

Saying this, the girl drooped her head, hiding the shyness in her eyes, and didn't dare to be curious anymore.

Ji Xun looked at her like this, grinning with white teeth.

The two of them walked around, and they were almost ready to go back.

But at this time, Ji Xun felt as if he had heard a familiar voice: "Poker divination, peek into the secret of fate, Xiao Chao Extraordinary mysteries, come and take a look, you are not allowed to ask for money."

No matter what the world, there is no shortage of gods.

Poker divination is the mainstream divination method in this world.

Some people in the "Prophet" sequence are indeed proficient in divination, and Ji Xun himself has encountered it.

But the vast majority of soothsayers on the market are liars.

Ji Xun was originally not interested in this kind of thing.

But the voice was familiar.

Attract him to stop.

Ji Xun turned his head and looked into the mysterious tent that was blocked by the curtain, and a lewd old face came into view.

The old man who drinks wind with his front teeth, who is he if he is not Old Man Xu?!

"Is it really this one?"

Ji Xun saw the person clearly, and he was also very surprised in his heart.

In fact, yesterday he suddenly saw this old man among the refugees.

At the time, I thought it was a mistake.

Now look at it, that obscene temperament, that appearance. Absolutely not mistaken!

Ji Xun looked at the old man and immediately thought of something: "It's really an exaggeration." A hundred years ago, this old man's appearance did not change in the slightest."

When he heard from Caterina that this guy's appearance hadn't changed in two hundred years, he was just surprised.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Ji Xun has another feeling in his heart.

It was as if time had no effect on the old man.

It's really like a bug-like character.

The more you know, the more mystery comes to you.

But.

This guy is not a hunter, and he doesn't know what "things" he is looking for.

Actually came to be a soothsayer?

While amazed, Ji Xun's eyes flickered, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

He thought of another layer.

As it turns out, every time this person appears, it's not easy.

The cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is even more exaggerated and dangerous than his own [Aura of Doom].

It also means that if he appears here, there may be some "big event" around here.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also guessed: "Could it be that this old-timer is also here because of that 'vampire'?" ”
