Chapter 191 Elaine, are you home? Boss line
Something magical is happening in the woods near Wind Town.
At least Chu Xiuyan thought it was very magical and subtle.
He moved a chair and sat facing south, interrogating the members of the treasure map organization who were suspected to be mostly undercover agents one by one.
Nearly fifty people, lined up in two teams, came to Chu Xiuyan one by one, then took off their wide hat brims to reveal their faces so that he could identify them.
...He couldn't recognize it, but the system could tell whether the other party was suspicious through subtle changes in facial expression and heart rate.
The system complained: [Speaking of which, Ming? Ming? You are the biggest undercover agent on the scene. ]
Chu Xiuyan's face was full of seriousness: [You must be joking. I am the one who established the treasure map team! ]
The system slowly types out a string of ellipsis marks.
Rodney and Cui Zhiyong surrounded the team on both sides to prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos.
Chu Xiuyan now knows that the treasure map team was originally from the Sky Church, but now, it seems to have gone astray.
"Hello, Boss. My name is Jon. I'm from the neighboring town of Mu. I joined the church last year. Absolutely? I have no extra thoughts. I am devoted to the treasure map. No, I am devoted to Lady Elena..."
"Chief, you look so young. I'm Meili. I came from a small village near Hua Town three years ago. The world outside is so big. Oh, right? I joined the church because three meals a day are free here. If there is anything else he is thinking about, it should be whether he is tired of eating mashed potatoes at noon, can he change it?"
"Next, next, it's me! Hello, boss! My name is..."
Chu Xiuyan's mind was empty as he listened to the people in front of him reporting their situations one by one. He slowly repented for a second in his heart, and his mind was in a mess as he thought about what he had eavesdropped on before, the people from outside the Holy City of Aletta, the countless cities that fell into the abyss, and the suspicious positions of Fuen and Sabrina and other Aletta Palace personnel, and what kind of situation [Sky] Elaine was in.
Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but complain, "I hate solving puzzles?..."
"Ahahahaha! I really hate solving puzzles too!"
A familiar and hearty voice entered his ears, Chu Xiuyan's eyelids jumped, and he slowly raised his eyes. The first thing that came into his sight was a head of golden hair that was particularly dazzling and full of vitality under the light.
The man was wearing a loose black robe, with messy blond hair and a bright smile. He blended into the church members without any sense of disobedience and began to introduce himself proudly: "My name is Jing Heng, from a remote village far away. I almost starved to death on the street because I got lost and was saved by Mr. Rodney. So I joined the church to repay the favor. I am very good at finding treasure maps or forging treasure maps!"
The system is ruthless: [The first undercover agent has emerged! It’s you, Boss Lion! ]
Because there were so many complaints, Chu Xiuyan didn't know what to say for a while. He slowly regained his senses and asked, "...what's the new habit?"
System: [Is there something wrong with this focus? Wow! ]
The lion boss touched his head and said, "Some people say that hahaha sounds too silly, so they asked me to change my habit of speaking, so that it will be easier to get along with others."
Chu Xiuyan had a bad feeling, "Who?"
The lion boss moved to the side, revealing a man behind him who was slowly taking off the brim of his hat.
Another familiar handsome face, it was Wu Gaoyuan who seemed to be here to join in the fun?
At this moment, this guy had a smile on his face, and his slightly long hair was tied into a braid and hung on his right shoulder. He looked like a little brother next door, making people feel like they were bathing in spring breeze.
"Because you get tired of hearing the same way of speaking too much, so changing the way of speaking is more fresh. After all, you don't usually speak well, and if you die, you can't say anything nice."
Spring? The wind is also very cold.
Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but lean back.
Cui Zhiyong, who was on guard on the right side, noticed the movement here, walked a few steps to the north, and looked in front of the team. When he saw Boss Lion and Wu Gaoyuan, he was stunned on the spot. After a few seconds, he began to observe the figures of the team members suspiciously.
"That shouldn't happen, right? We in the desert are all serious people. We won't come in to join in the fun, right? That's impossible..." he muttered.
Chu Xiuyan began to wonder if the superpowers in the ruined city were a little crazy because they were under too much pressure in their daily lives. He waved his hand and asked Boss Lion and Wu Gaoyuan to go to the team that had "no problem".
Then? His eyelids began to twitch wildly.
Treasure Map Team Jiantian? A large group of familiar figures gradually emerged from the team of the Sky Church.
One superpower person in the ruined city, one superpower person in the desert base, one superpower person in the ruined city, and one more superpower person in the desert base...
As the number of people queuing in the team decreased little by little and more and more people came to the ruined city and the desert base, Chu Xiuyan became more and more panicked.
His hands were shaking as he began to count again. Cui Zhiyong had already squatted down and was thinking with his head in his hands.
The last person in the team, with black hair, short hair, green eyes, and a cigarette in his mouth, looked a bit unruly. He lowered his eyes to look at Chu Xiuyan for a while, biting the cigarette and said vaguely: "Du Wei, joined five days ago. The place where I used to live was invaded by outsiders, so I just went out to make a living."
System: [Normal expression, normal breathing rate, normal heartbeat... Tsk, no lie.]
Chu Xiuyan waved him over and said blankly: [But this is the last person. ]
The system didn’t detect any suspicious undercover outsiders…if you count Boss Lion and his gang, there should be a lot of them.
But the problem is, among the extra half, some are Boss Lion and his team, and the rest are members who have just joined recently, and there is no sign of lying at all.
System: [Either they are good at lying, even fooling themselves, or they don’t think they are lying. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [It is not likely that all of the dozen or so people are good at deception. In other words, they actually think that they are a member of the treasure map team, er, the Sky Church? They were originally just outsiders, and now they have returned to the organization?]
Rodney approached the thoughtful black-haired boy and asked in a low voice: "Did you figure out who the undercover is?"
Chu Xiuyan looked at him with a sidelong glance, suspecting that this guy was not right? He was very nervous, but on the surface he maintained a calm and nonchalant look, "Of course, but you don't need to know what happens next, I am sure of it."
Rodney seemed to be thinking: "So this is how we can lure the snake out of its hole..."
Cui Zhiyong also came over, his expression very serious, and made a throat-cutting motion with his hands, and lowered his voice and said: "Yun Yan, do you want to kill your relatives for the sake of justice?"
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
He touched Cui Zhiyong's head lovingly and sighed, "It's over. It's all Fu En's fault. You seem to have really gone stupid."
Choi Ji-young: "How is it possible? Let me perform a three-second recall of lost memories on the spot."
He squatted down again and scratched his head in deep thought.
After saying a few words to the huge group of fifty people, they dispersed and returned to the Aletta Palace. Gradually, some familiar faces came to him.
Wu Gaoyuan smiled and said, "The treasure map team is very lively, right?"
Chu Xiuyan tried to poke his ticklish spot but failed. This guy wasn't ticklish at all. "So what are you guys doing?"
Boss Lion walked to the right, chewing some dried meat in his mouth, his voice unclear, "Checking something, it seems that in addition to the Holy City of Aletta, there are some people who can live in the ocean, and recently these people are heading to the Holy City of Aletta in batches. The rumors about the treasure map in Wind Town have caused chaos in the area. They may think that this may be convenient for hiding, so almost all of them have entered the cult in Wind Town..."
Chu Xiuyan looked left and right, thankfully saying, "Luckily, Brother Chu Li didn't participate in the undercover operation, otherwise it would have been OOC... Wait, why didn't Xuan Wu participate?"
The one who answered was Wu Gaoyuan, "He took out his game console two days ago and found that the ranking of almost every game had been surpassed by the same nickname [I'm the youngest, so let me go], and he was only one place higher. So recently he has been crazy about games, cursing while trying to overtake and regain his own ranking."
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
He whistled guiltily.
Cui Zhiyong was still thinking about his missing memory. He couldn't remember it for three seconds, nor for thirty minutes. It was as if a thread was missing and he couldn't find the original feeling.
After entering the Aletta Palace, Chu Xiuyan separated from everyone else and planned to look for Fu En.
However, the system searched the entire palace but could not find any trace of Fu En.
"Hidden?"
Chu Xiuyan squatted on the railing and talked to himself, feeling a little distressed.
Then he slowly looked up at the ceiling inlaid with countless mysterious and delicate patterns.
An hour ago, before the Treasure Map Squad and the Sky Cult were disbanded, Rodney explained that they would prepare for a night raid tonight and cooperate with the neighboring cult.
He jumped off the railing, without trying to hide his movements, and quickly ran up the stairs to the fifth floor. The huge door that was almost touching the ceiling was tightly closed, inlaid with complex and mysterious patterns, giving him a strange feeling that he couldn't understand.
Chu Xiuyan walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on it.
"Elaine, Elaine, open the door, I'm coming to see you."
There was no sound inside.
"Elian, where did you take Vaughn? He bullied my friends and I'm very angry now. Elaine, Elaine, open the door."
Still no response from behind the door.
Chu Xiuyan continued to knock on the door.
"I found a lot of branches, but I haven't had time to investigate them in depth... I always feel that something is wrong. I don't think I have seen you before, so I came to you directly. Elaine, answer me, why don't you open the door?"
"Bang, bang, bang, Elaine, if you don't say anything, I'm going to bomb your house tomorrow night."
"Boom boom boom, Elaine, are you dead or alive now?"
"Boom boom boom, Elaine, are you an enemy or a friend?"
"Knock, knock, knock. Question: In the world behind the door, is it Elaine or Elaina..."
Success? Chu Xiuyan, who had successfully displayed his annoying skills, hadn't finished speaking when his hand, which was about to knock down, passed through the hard door panel.
He looked up and saw that the huge door began to twist strangely, with countless colors mixed together to form a dizzying vortex, like a strange portal.
When Boss Lion said that he had contact with Elaine, he did not mention that the fifth-floor gate would become a twisted portal.
But Chu Xiuyan still stepped in.
Compared to solving puzzles, he was more suitable for rushing in... well, the kind of rushing that wrote a letter to Boss Lion and the others in advance to leave a reminder.
His brain cells are dying, so he lets others do the side quests first and he will finish the boss story first.
The system hastily added several layers of barriers to the host's soul to prevent external invasion, and then stood ready and said: [I'm ready! I'm ready! ]
