Chapter 67
"No thanks." Ango refused.
Tang Yu wanted to say something else, but Yang Haixi had already pulled her to try other products.
Both girls were very excited, while Ace and Lin Yaoxin started playing on the side.
Ace casually input the information and then placed the membrane over his mouth.
“Hahahahahahahahaha…” Lin Yaoxin burst into laughter, “Teacher An, look! Take a picture of him!”
Ango took a look and saw that Ace's mouth was swollen like a sausage!
"Hahahaha..." Ango couldn't help laughing, and immediately took a picture of him with his light brain.
"Why are you still taking pictures? Who are you taking pictures of?"
"I'll take a picture and show it to Irene." Ango laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
"Okay, you all bully me." Ace's eyes rolled, and he picked up another piece and put it on Lin Yaoxin's face, "Look! A pig's nose!"
“Crack—”
Ango was quick to record this scene again.
“Eh…”
Lin Yaoxin didn't want to attack Ango, so he just clamped Ace's neck with his elbow, and the two of them started to fight in the store, causing chaos.
Ango was looking at them with a smile when he suddenly saw another person coming in from outside the door - it was the thin Dylan.
He came in wearing a mask and a hat, introduced by another salesperson.
The smile on Ango's lips slowly disappeared.
"Oh, you're still wearing a mask," the salesperson said softly, as if trying to comfort the customer. "But don't worry, for customers like you who don't want to show their faces, we have a special reception room to introduce our products to you."
Dylan's eyes were a little confused.
Suddenly, two or three employees came forward and surrounded him.
"Take this customer to the private reception room on the second floor - A03."
The men nodded in greeting, then lifted Dylan up and carried him into the store.
It was very obvious that Dylan had not expected such a thing to happen. His eyes were full of panic, and he was unable to speak. He could only try to struggle with his movements.
Unfortunately, as an auxiliary extraordinary ability user, his melee ability is very limited, so he could only pass by Ango.
The moment Dylan was carried past her, a smile appeared on Ango's lips again.
"What are you looking at?" Ace asked, moving closer curiously.
"Nothing." Ango stuffed the sample into Ace's hand and said, "I'm going to go check next door. You two stay with these girls first. Don't let anything happen to them. Be careful of the pagans."
"Don't worry." Ace puffed out his chest proudly, "We're all C-rank users now, and we're completely different from before."
While Dylan was surrounded by a group of shop assistants, Ango slipped out of the store when no one was paying attention.
She had a clear goal. As soon as she walked out of the door, she turned into the alley and then crossed into the next street.
People were coming and going on the street, but no one paid attention to her.
A few minutes later, Ango arrived at the door of a bar called "Wild Rose".
It's almost evening now. The neon sign at the bar flickers in the humid island air, and holographic dancers promote the bar's new drink: the Deep Sea Rose. A "Today's Special" sign is also posted on the door: "Deep Sea Rose Cocktail, let you dream of an ocean you've never seen."
As soon as he opened the door, Ango smelled the smell of engine oil mixed with alcohol.
At this time, the bar had just opened and there were only a few customers. Among them was a man dressed like a rich young man with a lazy temperament sitting in a booth.
"Welcome, beautiful lady." The bartender wiped the glass with his modified mechanical arm and greeted Ango.
"Long time no see." Xie Miao also raised his eyes and looked her up and down.
His eyes were a clear blue. In Ango's eyes, his expression was innocent, even a little stupid, but now it had a strange meaning.
There were two glasses of wine in front of Xie Mu. One had an amber luster, while the other contained a strange blue liquid with a few rose petals stuck to the wall of the glass.
Xie Mu raised his arm, and blue numbers appeared on his skin, but quickly disappeared - it was an implanted optical computer, not just a new product from some company.
"It's a little late. What's holding you back?"
Ango sat across from Xie Mu, but gently pushed the cup of Deep Sea Rose away. "Well, the journey took a while, let's finish this quickly."
She came to exchange information with Xie Mu, not to drink and chat.
"Is this drink not to your liking?" Xie Mu glanced at the drink list and asked calmly, "Would you like to order a glass of 'Sangria'?"
On the virtual screen suspended in the air, the image of the crimson "Sangria Cocktail" was enlarged, and Xie Mu tapped his fingers lightly, as if he was about to place an order.
Ango's eyes flashed: "No, I have something else to do later, I don't want to drink now."
"Tsk, what a pity." Xie Mu's eyes flickered with an ambiguous light. "We've worked together a few times, so I always thought... we should get to know each other better."
Ango frowned and met Xie Mu's eyes: "What do you want to know?"
"For example..." Xie Mu chuckled, "where you're from, what you do, what you want... I've already introduced myself to you, now it's your turn."
Ango pondered for a moment.
Xie Mu was acting strangely today. She had a vague feeling that he seemed to doubt her identity, but she couldn't find fault with his words. Now that she knew he was a businessman from Quilter, she would also want to know the details of her partner.
"I work at Sun Town Middle School. If you've been following the competition these past two days, you should be able to find my information," Ango replied. "As for what I want...it's very simple. I need to make money, and I have intelligence that you don't. I think this is the basis for our cooperation."
Xie Mu's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, I saw that you are the shooting instructor at Sun Town Middle School. However, the information you possess far exceeds that of an ordinary teacher..."
Ango smiled faintly, her expression sincere and flawless. "If I didn't have some special information channels, how would I make money? You can't take away my business secrets."
Xie Mu was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Ango to fight back like that, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, but... is Ango really your real name? I heard there's a shop selling artificial facial features on the next street. Nowadays, even facial features can be changed at will, let alone hiding one's real name..."
"I heard that Sangria from Morino City has disappeared."
Ango's heart skipped a beat - Xie Mu must have discovered something!
However, as long as the other party did not provide actual evidence, she would definitely not admit it. "If you mean I had plastic surgery, then I can admit it generously. I am quite satisfied with my appearance and have no intention of changing it. If you want to find Sangria, I suggest you go to the street corner and wait. Perhaps the believers of the An Church will show up..."
Ango paused, a smile curling up at the corner of his lips. "If you thought I was Sangria, then when we met her followers this afternoon, we wouldn't have almost gotten into a fight with the people from the An Church. Many people saw it happen. You can just ask around and find out whether it's true or not."
The second half of each of the above sentences is true, and Ango said it without any burden.
Hearing Ango say this, Xie Mu was stunned again. He frowned in confusion and looked at Ango again: "What you said... is all true?"
Ango nodded.
"Is it really all true?"
Xie Mu scratched his head, and his clear and stupid expression appeared again.
Ango said sincerely, "I think we should talk about the intelligence on the coastline. We've already wasted a lot of time. Don't you want to get your extraordinary ability back?"
She could see that Xie Mu was still somewhat confused about her identity, but he no longer had the initial tentativeness. Instead, he began to seriously discuss with her the clues from the coast.
"I didn't find any 'looting' on the coast, but I did find something else. It's the An Church you just mentioned." Xie Mu said slowly, "I heard... those one hundred artificial ability users are looking for weapons of mass destruction, zero-degree bombs, weapons that can destroy an entire island... I'm afraid they're in the An Church."
"You mean the An Church?" Ango was very surprised.
She was skeptical about the authenticity of this information. The group of pagans were scattered and insignificant, and they quickly fled when driven away by security personnel. How could they be holding weapons?
"I'm not sure which church it was, but anyway, I received news from the north that someone did purchase zero-degree bombs and shipped them to this island." Xie Mu shrugged. "In other words, we are in danger at any time."
Ango had already guessed that Xie Mu was in the arms business, so perhaps he really had intelligence that could reveal the whereabouts of these large-scale lethal weapons... This was definitely true, but the person in front of him spoke so decisively, yet his demeanor was very calm, without showing any fear.
"You say it in this tone, I even doubt whether it's true or not... Then what are you going to do? Let the clues of the robbery end here?"
If the other party uses zero-degree bombs to freeze the entire Ibilene Island, then all life on the island will be buried. Even if Xie Mu finds a way to escape from here, he will lose the clues related to his ability.
"Of course not." Xie Mu showed his two rows of white teeth, "So, I would like to invite you to go on an adventure with me later... as my second bodyguard."
"Number two?"
A gentle drizzle had begun outside the window. The pink and purple neon lights shimmered in the rain, casting a vibrant reflection in the puddles on the ground. For some reason, this reflection slowly extended... forming a flat surface like a stained glass window, gently undulating...
A man in a dark suit walked out of the plane and walked into the bar with a dark face.
The man quickly came up to Xie Mu and unhappily put down a few transformation systems and some small street gadgets. He said in a stiff tone, "This is what you want."
Xie Miao smiled and said, "The A-level Mirror Light Teleportation user is Mo Yu... and this is the B-level Tracking Eye user is An Ge."
"You two can get to know each other better. We might have a chance to work together later." Xie Mu looked at An Ge again. "Teacher An, do you have anything else to do later? Do you want to go to the coastline and check it out?"
Ango also smiled: "It's okay now."
