Chapter 395: Setting up a stall
The experience of joining the Ninja Academy on the 22nd is not as thrilling as the 33rd, it is more of a fireworks atmosphere of life, a little girl who thinks she is not beautiful enough gets a beautiful face as she wishes, but finds that things are not as good as she imagined, and finally she embarks on a different path...... It's a bit like a modern fairy tale.
Not all children in the Ninja Academy are like No. 33 who have lost their parents or have been abandoned by their parents, but objectively speaking, such children are not rare in the Ninja Academy, because the ability to awaken often requires an opportunity, requires extremely strong feelings and desires, and for children, events related to their parents, especially tragic events, are more likely to trigger such extreme feelings.
The other part of the children did not lose their parents, but after awakening their abilities, they completely broke with their parents because of their parents' incomprehension, or regarded them as monsters - if the parents of the 22nd firmly opposed the 22nd to study in France, then the 22nd may also embark on this path.
The rest is to hide his true identity from his parents like the 22nd, pretend to be studying abroad or working abroad, and post some relevant photos or videos from time to time to make his parents convinced.
As for the option of telling the parents and discussing, there is no such option, because the parents' mouths may not be tight, and once the news that the daughter is a transcendent ninja is leaked, it may be used by the enemies of the ninja academy, such as kidnapping the parents of a certain ninja and threatening their lives to coerce the ninja to do something detrimental to the ninja academy, or even ...... Betrayal of the organization.
No. 33, No. 22, No. 2, and many other ninjas thought of this possibility, maybe No. 15 was similarly coerced, and they had to choose between the lives of their parents or other relatives and the suzerain, so they had to betray the organization, which would make everyone's hearts feel better.
But there are also some doubts, because everyone has been told in the training camp that the leakage of identity may bring great danger to themselves and their loved ones, so everyone is very cautious, and it stands to reason that they should not make such a mistake on the 15th.
In addition, if the identity of a certain ninja is revealed, it is not enough, and now at least three ninjas have betrayed the organization, could it be that the identities of these three ninjas have all been revealed?
Finally, the vast majority of ninjas are loyal enough to the organization, and if they are threatened by the enemy to betray the organization because of their mistakes, they may not agree obediently, because they are not stupid, and it is more reliable to report to the organization truthfully than to believe in the credibility of the enemy, and use the power of the organization to rescue their parents and destroy the enemy.
So on the 33rd, they just thought of this possibility, and no one said it, and reason told them that this possibility was extremely low.
"But you said you can't remember your real face, don't you send a selfie or something to your parents?" Jiang Chanji wondered.
"Of course I would post a selfie, but that's just my own face, not my real face, and I don't know what my face would be like if I hadn't awakened and grown up normally. No. 22 smiled self-deprecatingly, "But no one cares, the selfie photo looks different from me, everyone is used to this kind of thing." ”
"What happened to Banhua, is it so popular?" he asked again.
No. 22 shook his head, "No, there are several new girl groups emerging every year, you sing and I appear, most of them are short-lived, and they disappear after a while, and they can only rely on lace news from time to time to make others remember...... There are a few members of each girl group, and there are dozens of members, and Ban Hua is not the most beautiful in her girl group, and her singing and dancing level is average, and she rarely appears in the C position when she takes the stage. Later, the girl group disbanded, and no one would care about the whereabouts of the members except for die-hard fans, Ban Hua delayed her studies due to joining the girl group, dropped out of high school, and now works as a wine escort in a nightclub, and her life is a mess. ”
Jiang Chanji: "......"
22 sighed, "Isn't that ridiculous? Now I know that the face is important, but not everything, and having a beautiful face does not necessarily bring happiness, but is more likely to give up other efforts because of a beautiful face. ”
She washed all the lead and finally realized it, but she must have experienced and witnessed it in person, so that she would have such a painful understanding, even if she travels back to the past now, I am afraid she will not be able to persuade herself when she was a child, just like adults will always point out a broad road to children, but children will always be stabbed by thorns and bruises all over their bodies in the shortcut they think will understand that adults are right.
"But if I had a choice at birth, I would still choose a beautiful face. Number 22 concluded, "Acquired hard work is important, but innate conditions are equally important, and being beautiful and working hard will always go further than being ugly." ”
Compared with the chicken soup words that parents and teachers said that the face is not important, the 22nd summed up the wise saying, even if a beautiful face can't make you get twice the result with half the effort on the road of life, at least you can take a lot of detours, you will meet a lot of noble people to help, and you will not be disliked because of your ugly face, after all, as long as you have a good face, the whole world will release kindness to you, which is what the 22nd has personally experienced.
No. 22 didn't say his experience in great detail, only took a few minutes to roughly talk about it, many of them were made up by Jiang Chanji's brain, but it should be similar to the real situation, because the things that No. 22 experienced are things that happen in daily life, and even Jiang Chanji himself has seen it when he was in his previous school, the boys will always circle around the beautiful girls in the class, and the mediocre-looking girls are not cared for, and the ugly girls are even wrong to breathe...... The world of looking at faces is like this, there is no point in even resisting, you can only lie down and enjoy it with your legs apart.
No. 33 is not very interested in No. 22's experience, because No. 33's own experience is diametrically opposed, in that orphanage in Hokkaido, only beautiful girls will be targeted by the dean, but ugly girls will escape, sometimes God is so ironic.
However, 22's account clears her own suspicions at least to some extent, and her experience is ordinary, with no reason to betray the Order.
"Senior, where did you meet No. 15?" No. 33 pulled back her most concerned question.
"The capital of a neighboring province. Number 22 said, "In addition to searching for the reincarnation of the Morichi Bodhisattva, I was on a other mission at the time, and Number 2 should be able to prove this for me." ”
No. 33 nodded officially, "I will, but please tell me more about what happened." "Yunnan
Like 33, No. 22 is also tasked with finding the reincarnation of the Morichi Bodhisattva, and they will not question the task assigned by the suzerain, but they know the difficulty of this task, if the reincarnation has the ability to stealth, how can they find it?
Number 22 has no clue, but because of her unique abilities, she is never short of tasks, and her schedule is always full, because those colleagues who need to hide their identities from their parents are counting on her, and every time she goes to a new city, she will change the faces of her colleagues, and then walk around the famous attractions in the city, take photos, Record videos, fake traces of colleagues visiting the city, and then send photos and videos to No. 2, who will then distribute them to ninjas in need, so that the parents of these ninjas think that their daughters are studying, working, traveling, traveling, and so on in the city.
In addition to these daily tasks, she is also given other tasks.
Ordinary tracking and surveillance tasks are not her turn, there are other ninjas who can complete them, and she has a mission that only she can do - infiltrate the local black market to steal information.
The rain corridor is too simple, too cheap and too effective, and it has long been popularized in the black market around the world, and it is difficult for other ninjas to sneak into the black market to steal information, but because the rain corridor is so effective, most of the black market managers have already relaxed their vigilance, feeling that as long as the rain corridor works normally, everything will be fine, which gives the 22nd an opportunity to take advantage of the laxity of the manager to infiltrate the black market and kill them.
There is a black market in the capital of the neighboring province of Red Leaf Academy, in terms of scale, it can only be regarded as a small black market compared to other black markets in the world, but whether you can obtain important information is not necessarily related to the scale of the black market, and sometimes in order to avoid people's eyes, some important information or heavy transactions will be carried out in the small black market.
Due to the existence of rain corridors, there is only one entrance and exit of all black markets, which also means that anyone entering and exiting will be seen by others, although black market managers often provide some remedies to protect the privacy of customers, but before entering or after leaving the black market, customers may still be followed, and even black eating black things happen, so the safest way is to see as few people as possible.
The 22nd was the first time she came to the black market in a neighboring province, and she had to make sufficient preparations before entering the black market, and for several days she wore a ninja costume and wandered around the black market in a stealthy state, or rubbed at the entrance of the black market, observing and looking for the regulars of the black market and noting their facial features.
The preparation for entering the black market is not complicated, because customers generally do not talk too much with each other, and if they want to gossip, they will also talk about the topic of transcendentals, and will not involve private matters in their own lives, so the 22nd only needs to imitate the appearance, voice, demeanor and personality of the same.
No. 22 chooses a few targets and waits patiently, and when she finds that one of them has left the city temporarily, she immediately changes into this person's appearance, goes to the mall to buy a set of clothes that fit the person's daily style, and enters the black market when she is ready.
The black market is not accessible to all transcendents, and is usually only open to regular customers and new faces with regular customer guarantees, in other words, to enter with a face.
No. 22 is experienced and doesn't take this small black market seriously, she imitates it vividly, easily fools the gatekeeper, and swaggers through the rain corridor in a raincoat and enters the black market.
Most of the black markets are in the form of bars as a cover, only open at night until dawn, because the bars themselves can filter out idle people such as uncles and aunts, etc., and the management fee is also very convenient to attach to the liquor, and more importantly, tradition, whether it is the ancient West or the East, taverns and teahouses are the distribution center of information.
This black market is no exception, with a very old-fashioned "night primrose bar" name, most urban white-collar workers who want to visit the bar will automatically stop when they see such an old-fashioned bar name, and they can't listen to the young girl, unless they want to soak in an aunt who can make you struggle for ten years less.
But in fact, the bar is full of young girls, as transcendental, their youth is greatly extended, even if they are really aunts, they look similar to young girls.
The 22nd came early, and there were few customers, so she ordered a rum-flavored ice cream, found a corner and sat down, eating while waiting.
Ordinary bars are mainly for men, mainly selling alcohol, but bars for the transcendental, just selling alcohol may go bankrupt, desserts such as ice cream are more popular, which is also one of the ways to distinguish between regulars and newcomers, newcomers may be stupid to order a cocktail when they come to the black market for the first time, many regulars who don't like to drink alcohol order wine, but bartenders bring out alcohol-flavored ice cream, even if they like to drink a glass or two, they often prefer to drink ice cream with wine.
Each table is a small table where only two people can sit opposite each other, and a piece of paper and a marker are placed on the table, and the customers who sit down first write down the information they want to sell or exchange or the type of items they want to trade.
To put it simply, this is the way of setting up a stall that is unique to the world of the Transcendent.
On the 22nd, "Mei Yibai, Red Leaf Academy" was written in Chinese and English on the paper, which was a topic that was a little hot in the world of the transcendent a while ago, but now it is a little outdated.
What she means is that she has secret information about Mei Yibai's incident, and the Red Leaf Academy is involved, so if anyone is interested, they can sit down and talk.
Black market managers generally do not interfere with what customers want to sell, whether the information is true or false, whether it is valuable or not, it is the business of the buyer and the seller, and the test is the buyer's vision and judgment.
As soon as a customer enters the bar and orders a glass of wine or dessert, it is equivalent to paying the management fee for the day, and until the bar closes before dawn, the customer can sit for as long as he wants, and it is not the manager's business whether the information or item is sold, or if it can't be sold, the manager is more happy, because it means that the customer is likely to return tomorrow.
A few customers who came in one after another saw her writing, shook their heads and walked away--who would buy the information of the Red Leaf Academy next to the Red Leaf Academy?
It just so happened that the 22nd wrote these words just as a pretense, pretending to be selling intelligence, she was interested in the information that others were going to sell, and she didn't plan to spend money to buy it.
