Chapter Eighty-Six: On the Road
Pei Yuanxiu bypassed one more building, and he could see the main entrance of the Beishan Academy of Sciences. The streets were lit up with light, and the buildings, cars, and withered plants in the green belt all shone with colorful light, like a fairyland. It's still a short street from here to the main entrance, and it takes a minute or two to speed up.
He turned his head to look behind him and listen, but there seemed to be no movement.
The two blocks passed through were quiet and unguarded. But it's also possible that the lurkers are hiding in the shadows, and the target is not him.
Li Qingyan's phone is not in the service area. Pei Yuanxiu glanced at his phone again. Where will he go?
That's when I heard a voice: "Looking for me?"
He immediately looked up - on the windowsill on the second floor sat a man in a white shirt.
Li Qingyan jumped down and didn't make a sound: "What are you going to do? Let's rush in and kill the Quartet?"
Pei Yuanxiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved: "I'm still worried that you ran in first." Qingyan, they are well prepared here. Our follow-up troops may ......"
Li Qingyan raised his hand to interrupt him: "I'm here to help you, don't think about anything else." I will do what you say. ”
Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly, was stunned for a while, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? ”
Li Qingyan's appearance has not changed. The difference was that the shirt was unbuttoned in two, the hem was tucked into the pants, and the sleeves were rolled up to the top of the elbows. This kind of dress actually looks a bit chic...... But the question is whether it is his friend's old style.
He used to look like a "gentleman" in ancient times, speaking gently, with a careful and responsible attitude, and very well-dressed, he would never call himself like this...... Looks like a rebellious teenager.
Li Qingyan smiled: "It's nothing." Just figuring out a few things. Yuan Xiu, after helping you finish this time, I'm leaving. ”
This time and place is not a good time for small talk. But Li Qingyan's smile and tone made Pei Yuan realize that something had indeed happened to him. He subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"
"Get on the road. Li Qingyan leaned against the wall with his pocket and turned his face to look at him, "I will resign after this incident." ”
Pei Yuanxiu looked at the Academy of Sciences, retracted his body, walked in front of him and stood down. After thinking about it, he said, "Do you find the work of an undercover agent annoying, or because of this operation...... You're being excluded from the inner circle and bored?Qingyan, I promise you, I'll give you credit for this as soon as it's over. Within the Secret Intelligence Agency system, you can go wherever you want to go for positions below level 8. ”
Li Qingyan smiled: "You know I don't care about this. I just don't like wasting energy on things that don't mean anything. Like now—"
"I stayed in the promotion association for a year, and I spent a lot of effort to do a few things, called ......," he thought for a moment, "to protect the Huayang International Center from the terrorist attack of the promotion association, and to call the explosion of the Beishan Immigration Bureau. It can be regarded as saving the lives of at least one or two hundred innocent people. ”
"Now, more than one or two hundred people are dying a day today. There may be more, and Kitayama may have to be put in. Why this is happening, you should know better than me. So I don't think it's interesting. What I'm doing is worthless, and the problem is not with the promotion association, but with something else. ”
Pei Yuanxiu looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I know the problem you said. Quite a few people know about it. So we can change it together – if everybody chooses to run away, it's really a big problem. ”
"Yuan Xiu, this is a very noble concept, I admire you. But I've got to figure out my own business first. Some people are lucky enough to know what they want from the very beginning. But for others, who have been on the road all their lives, the meaning of life is all about experiencing and experiencing. I think I'm that kind of person. Whether or not to do something like saving the world depends on whether it's exciting and interesting enough for me. But frankly, now I find it boring. ”
Li Qingyan straightened up and pulled out his hand: "You know me, you should know that you can't persuade me." And, now we're going to have to get busy. ”
At some point, there were people standing on the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the street leading to the main entrance of the Beishan Academy of Sciences in front of them.
The buildings on the side of the road are not high, most of them are four- or five-storey. Therefore, you can clearly see the faces and outfits of those people.
They look like they've come out of a theatrical ...... They all wore robes with collars and combed their hair in buns. Holding all kinds of Qimen weapons in his hands, there is a treasure light circulating on them, which is obviously a magic weapon. The physiognomy is slightly different from that of a human - some have fangs at the corners of their mouths, some have horns on their heads, and one has an exposed tail that looks like a leopard's tail. It is decorated with gold and silver, and it is obvious that I am used to this appearance on weekdays.
It's all demons...... Or rather, demons. In the eyes of the natives, "demon clan" is a neutral term, while demon refers specifically to those who are unruly and refuse to accept the restraint of drugs.
In this era, it is already quite easy to demonize into a human form. This is because the exercises required for the transformation are carefully selected and verified by local experts. The demon clan who opened up the spirit and wisdom cultivated this method and transformed into shapes, and all of them looked no different from people.
But only forty or fifty years ago, including in ancient times, things were not like this - at that time, the demon clan was transformed by chance to obtain the method of cultivation, but often because of their own lack of cultivation, slight problems with the exercises, and the timing and methods were not mastered well, they finally ended up like a half-man and half-beast. For example, these people in front of them still have some animal characteristics on their bodies.
The fox fairy in folklore will always accidentally show his fox tail, probably because of this.
But this beastly trait in them does not mean that these people are weak. Contrary...... This shows that they have practiced. It is not the Republic of China's own simplified castration safe version of the transformation method, but a serious supernatural technique.
Li Qingyan subconsciously went to look at their luck - he found that everyone was firmly locked on themselves, and no one cared about Pei Yuanxiu beside him.
"I received word that someone had come from outside, and it seemed to be them. Pei Yuanxiu cautiously straightened up and touched a black jade ring on his middle finger. The golden sword slid out silently, swimming around him. He pinched two more tricks in a row and stepped on the Beidou step. In the void beside him, two bearded golden warriors appeared, each holding a sword.
The body shook slightly. A round of golden light appeared from the back of his head, as if he had been sanctified in the flesh at this moment.
Having cast these prohibitions, he exclaimed, "Friend, come out!
