Chapter 55: The Way Back (2)
The cobblestone pavement at sunset reflects a faint golden light, as if coated with a layer of gold leaf. The fragrance of lotus flowers, accompanied by gusts of lake breeze, escaped far away, and finally filled a large space.
Ai Yan walked, stepping on the golden pebbles, and walked towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Shirley, what a coincidence. Ai Yan took the initiative to say hello.
Xue Li's shoulders trembled obviously, and she turned around to look at Ai Yan behind her, but as soon as she turned halfway, she was stopped by Shengsheng.
Xue Li turned back again, was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I heard the old housekeeper grandpa say, you are going back tomorrow?"
Ai Yan stopped two meters behind Shirley, "Well, there is an order from the organization that we must go back." ”
"Oh, that's it......" Shirley's hands caressed the wooden railing of the pavilion, the scent of wood running through her fingers.
"This time, I'm sorry for you. ”
Xue Li suddenly turned to Ai Yan, and looked at Ai Yan with a pair of rippling eyes, "You, are you looking at me?"
Ai Yan was a little confused, she just wanted to express her gratitude! She was thinking too much, right? Ai Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly covered up the embarrassment with a light cough, "Xueli, actually I ...... it"
"No need to explain, I just want to ask you one question. Shirley interrupted Ai Yan.
"Okay, you ask, if there's something I can answer, I'll tell you. Ai Yan didn't talk too much, there were some that he didn't want others to know.
"Ina, you didn't hurt her, did you? Don't ask me why I asked, because I know that you left alone to chase her, to see who the person behind the scenes is. ”
Ai Yan didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes, I went after her, but I really didn't hurt a hair of her." ”
Shirley lowered her head, "Are you doing this because of me?"
Ai Yan remembered everything before, was it because of her? maybe, but even if he hadn't promised her, he wouldn't have been able to bring Ina back, and he didn't know if he was the opponent of the mysterious woman......
"Well, sort of. After all, I promised you, I really won't hurt her again. ”
Xue Li smiled, with a jasmine-like smile on her beautiful face, calm and elegant, "Thank you, the answer I wanted to get, I have already got." ”
Suddenly, Xue Li took a few steps forward, kissed Ai Yan on the cheek of Ai Yan who was stunned, and stepped on the cobblestone road one by one, and made a face at Ai Yan at the end of the road, and disappeared into the path among the weeping willows.
Ai Yan didn't react until this time, and her fingers brushed over the place where her cheek had been "forcibly kissed", and fell silent.

On the sixteenth floor of the Dark Evil Bureau, a conference room that has reviewed various major changes is brightly lit at this time.
Gesbodeau and Godot sat in the guest seats. At this time, Gesbudo took off his animal skin coat, and his black robe was covered by the light, emitting a unique dark light.
On the other side, Ouyang Zhuang was looking at a letter, which was brought by Gesbudo.
I have to admit that the patriarch of the aristocracy still has a deep understanding of Chinese culture. ”
"Director Ouyang may have misunderstood, this letter is ghostwritten, and I wrote it. Gesbudo laughed.
"Oh?" Ouyang Zhuang was a little surprised, "I thought that the Great Elder was just Chinese speak well, but I didn't expect to have a certain understanding of the font of Chinese, which is really rare among nobles." ”
"It's rare, but that doesn't mean it's none. Instead of looking at Godot sitting on the sidelines looking at him with a bewildered expression, and then at Ouyang Zhuang, he completely ignored his pitiful eyes, even though they looked so much like a good dog.
"The Great Elder's talent seems to be very high. ”
"Deputy Director Long is polite, it's just a small fight, and he can't get on the stage. Gesbudo looked at Long Mo, who had been sitting beside Ouyang Zhuang, and said indifferently.
"The elder is too modest. Ouyang Zhuang put down the letter.
With such an auspicious and insipid conversation, no one would think that this was a meeting with murderous intentions hidden everywhere, but its essence could not be concealed......
"For the request of the wolf king Mr. Kai'an, it really frightened us, I didn't expect that the royal family of the nobles would be imprisoned in our secret prison. ”
Ouyang Zhuang's hypocritical smile made Gesbudo snort coldly in his heart, and the acting was as if it were real......
"Great Elder, please rest assured, since the Wolf King has said so, we will definitely release him, but it may take a while for the Great Elder to wait, we need to check the list of prison prisoners in the Dark Evil Bureau, so that we can find out the noble prince. Of course, we're not sure if we can find it, and if not, there's no way around it. ”
"It's okay. Gesbudo knew that the meeting was coming to an end, "I'll be here for a while, and if you have a result, you can tell me at any time." ”
"Very well, the Great Elder, please stay for a few days, and then we will give the nobles a satisfactory answer. ”
"In that case, then we won't waste your time here, and we'll leave here today. Gesbudau stood up and saluted, and Godot followed suit.

In the training base of the Dark Bureau, two figures walked in the night.
"Great Elder, what are we doing here?" Godot asked the question he had been holding back as he walked.
"I still remember the kid who brought us here before and then had a good attitude, he seemed to be called Sunsha, and he told me that if I came here, I would have unexpected gains. ”
"That guy, Great Elder, if he lied to us, I'm worried about ......"
"Oh, Godot, what danger do you think we will be in the shadows? We are here as negotiators, and they must be very serious about our wolf clan's position, which means that they will not easily plot against us, because they cannot afford to do so. ”
"It's still the Great Elder's long-term vision, and I'm still too superficial. Godot said respectfully.
"Okay Godot, don't slap my ass. It's not a safe place, even if it's like I said, it's not a safe place, it's a mixed bag, people of all races and factions, and we have to be careful. But tonight, we will not be in any danger, because it will take enough time for the group to discuss a result, and we will all be safe in the midst of it. ”
"Great Elder, everything is up to you. Godot straightened his face.
The two of them stopped, looked at the pie-shaped building in front of them, and Gesbudo sighed: "The gap between our wolf clan and these races is really very big. They are also alien races, but they have such a high level of construction, but our wolf clan is too far behind, which cannot be changed in a short time, and we can only choose to admit it. ”
"Great Elder, is it true that our wolf clan is so backward?" Godot didn't believe it.
The world is different from what it used to be. It's only been a few years, and it feels like a blink of an eye. Gesbudo sighed, "Sometimes, I really feel sorry for the wolf people. In order to escape something, we wolf people hid underground, and lost too much because of it. Think about it, even if we have tens of millions of troops, how many will we have left if they drop an atomic bomb at random?"
"But we also have weapons, right?" Godot still disagreed, "Our wolf clan's thermal weapons are not weak, and they won't be abused like that, right?"
Gesbudo looked at Godot, he didn't blame him, after all, he was still young, "Godot, there is one thing you have to know, it's not that we are strong enough with thermal weapons, you have to clear it, technology is the most important thing, even if you have strong enough thermal weapons, if you don't have technology, you are still weak, because you can't see the essence through the problem." You think you're strong, but when you see your opponent with a laser weapon, do you think that? Then it's too late, because you might be dead. ”
Godot understood Gesbudo's words, "So Great Elder, are we also going to learn technology?"
"It's not like we wolves haven't done this in the last few decades, but we've not seen good enough results. The wolf hereditary disease makes it impossible for us to integrate well enough into society, and our characteristics that are different from others are too obvious. Every full moon night, we're forced to transform to resist abilities and bodies. Wolf Transformation isn't a stable ability, but we've relied on it to defend our race for thousands of years. Our dependence on it has led us to think more and more that Wolf Transformation is the source of our power, but not to think about what will happen to us when we lose our abilities. This is the biggest weakness of our wolf clan! But you and I really can't change this concept, even I thought so a long time ago, and to change it, it will take blood! A bloody way for us to recognize ourselves!"

Star Language:
The structure of "Alien" is getting bigger and bigger, and many stories have to start multi-line operations. It's inevitable to spend brain cells, (=^▽^=), but Starry Sky still feels very happy, because the alien world is getting better and better, which is a success in Starry Sky's writing.
A lot of times, I think about personal value or something, but then I figured out that being able to write something that satisfies readers and makes me happy is my value.
It's really, really nice to be with all of you. (^~^)
