Chapter 78 I think we have a good relationship
That person's recommendation was indeed very useful. At least Li Li did get a brief understanding of the entire empire through this book.
An Heyu had said before that there were only ten SS-rank psychics in the empire, and during the time recorded in this travelogue, there were a total of fifteen SS-rank psychics in the empire.
The travel notes started fifteen years ago and were completed and published seven years ago. According to Li Li's analysis from a God's perspective, the protagonist of the travel notes is most likely the author herself, and this author should be an S-rank expert. Her conversation and knowledge show that she is also a noble.
The protagonist calls herself a traveler. She starts from the floating city and passes through the territories of various nobles along the way, including the unincorporated Somemu City, Zhusheng City and other cities, including Jiaohuang City.
It can be said that after reading this book, one can understand the distribution of power in the empire seven years ago, the tendencies of aristocratic rulers, and local customs.
But these were incidental. What surprised Li Li the most was that she found a piece of information hidden under the traveler's writing.
Eight years ago, the traveler came to a place called Dawn City, where she met a man she called Mr. They talked by candlelight at night and exchanged their own ideas about the world.
In the previous records, the traveler would not interfere with what she encountered. She compared herself to a recorder of a story and rarely changed the original trajectory of the story. Only occasionally, she would experience life and pretend to be a weak person to feel the local customs and customs. It was also because of this that she saved some people and accepted a little apprentice.
There is no doubt that the traveler's gaze is otherworldly, like a pair of eyes wandering outside the world.
But after meeting 'Mr.', she changed.
The traveler praised in the book: Mr. made me realize my arrogance and complacency. My records are just a condescending view, and I have never really known this world. I will not stay here for too long, but I am willing to help Mr. during this period, understand this world, and accompany them to change this world.
This sense of déjà vu and this time period made it hard for Li Li not to think of a former supernatural guild.
Considering the time period, perhaps it should be called the early days of the supernatural guild.
This was a pleasant surprise for Li Li. She had never expected to see news related to the former Supernatural Guild in a travelogue.
The Empire is erasing the existence of the former supernatural guild, and the nobles are suppressing and slaughtering the remnants of the former supernatural guild. It seems that the glorious years of the past can only be remembered by those who have actually experienced them.
At this time, Li Li got a glimpse of something from this travelogue. Of the five SS-class psychics who died in the past few years, the former psychic guild had at least two or three of them before the travelogue was finished. Although the traveler wrote it in a rather obscure way, it was not difficult to see that they hated the empire's system and wanted to change this gloomy world.
However, the last record of this travelogue was seven years ago, and it did not mention the major change in the former Supernatural Guild six years ago.
Li Li could only speculate based on the existing information, but one could imagine how tragic the incident that caused the destruction of the former Superpower Guild six years ago was.
By the time she finished reading the travelogue, it was already dusk. She closed the book and was about to get up and put it back on the bookshelf.
At this moment, the book deliveryman who was sitting at the table opposite her, across an aisle from her, and who had been sitting there for the same day as her, said, "Very good work, isn't it?"
Li Li realized that this person might want to talk to her.
Just as she would usually read forums and readers' analyses, she was also willing to hear what other people besides herself thought about the book.
So she smiled and replied, "Very good. If there is a second volume of this book, I will read it now."
"It's a pity that there is no copy." said the courier.
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, a white shirt and a mid-length skirt, with a ponytail, and looked like an artistic young woman. But her face revealed a tired and numb expression, as if she was just
There is only a body left, and it feels like you can die at any time.
That is the look of a broken or lost goal.
At this time, she seemed to have some questions that needed answers, and she wanted to ask Li Li.
"What kind of person do you think the gentleman in the book, the man who made the traveler change, is he?" she asked.
"He is an idealist, but also eloquent and inspiring," said Li Li.
She read the conversation between the traveler and the 'gentleman' recorded and had to admit that the other party was very good at speaking, expressing his ideas, and inputting his ideas into other people's minds.
"Yes, he is very good at misleading people." said the woman nearly two meters away.
Because the book tells the story from the perspective of a traveler, it is difficult for Li Li to have any negative feelings towards "Mr." after reading this book.
He is just in his actions, open-minded in his thoughts, and gentle in his words. He is on a path to change the world, and treats his potential enemies, the noble-born travelers, equally.
But it is true that he can deceive people. After all, the traveler did change himself for the sake of the 'Mr.'
The courier's tone was very calm when she said this, but because of the wording, Li Li could sense her aversion to "sir".
Or maybe it should be called disgust.
"Why do you hate him?" Li Li became interested. She put down the book, supported her chin with the backs of her hands, and looked forward with a smile.
The 'Mr.' in the travelogue clearly stands on the side of the common people and low-level psychics, and his behavior and language are impeccable. Why would a common person hate him?
The woman who delivered the letter raised her head and looked at Li Li with her empty eyes.
"He changed a person's mind with just a few words," she said. "Isn't that scary?"
"This is a novel angle." Li Li said with a smile.
But she couldn't agree, after all, she also liked to play psychological warfare.
For Li Li, as long as the moves were useful, she couldn't understand why the woman who delivered the letter found it scary.
Sighing inwardly, Li Li felt that there might indeed be some neurological differences between science students and liberal arts students, and she, who was used to fighting and killing, could not get along with the literary young woman.
She stood up and said politely, "Thank you for your recommendation. I'm leaving now."
Just as she stood up, pushed the library chair back to its original place, turned around and walked towards the bookshelf to return the book, the literary young woman behind her spoke.
"I hope to see you again," she said. "I don't know who you are, but I think we are close enough to know each other by name."
Li Li pretended that she didn't hear anything. After all, what she was doing was not something that should involve ordinary people.
Then she heard the woman behind her say, "My last name is Lin."
lin?
Her last name is Lin? Her last name is Lin in Ranmu City? !
Li Li paused.
She turned around and saw the woman looking at her with empty eyes and a face that had not changed at all from the beginning.
Then he continued speaking as if this sentence was important.
"Two-tree forest."
The smile on Li Li's face never changed. She tilted her head naturally, as if to indicate that she heard it.
"I'm sorry, we have nothing to do with each other." Li Li also emphasized.
Then he turned around and put the book back on the bookshelf according to his original idea.
After doing all this, she looked at the cover of the travel diary and was silent for a moment.
Then he continued to smile and left the library.
...
Who was that person? What did the word "Mr." mean in the book she recommended? These were all things that Li Li thought of when she heard the last name "Lin" in the library.
As for the Shuangmulin mentioned later, she didn't believe it completely.
In fact, if you step out and think about it calmly, you will feel that there is something wrong with that person, and the remaining question is who this person is.
Although the Lin clan has only four high-ranking members, there are many members in its branches. It is possible that the person is a member of the noble family who experienced the incident six years ago.
Of course, the most coincidental, and the most creepy thing about it was that she might be the least likely one.
"But she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions." Li Li thought for a while.
The situation of the Lin family is much more complicated than that of the Yue family, but it only makes Li Li more curious.
Even if she really is that person, judging from her attitude, she won't do anything until the next time they meet.
Li Li was thinking about whether she should tell An Heyu about the strange passerby she accidentally met, so she went to District 3 at dusk.
Of course, another reason was that An Heyu was determined to leave Ranmu City in women's clothing, and Li Li became very interested in watching An Heyu.
She admitted that she had a bit of a bad taste, but the chicken mom with long red hair, short skirt and black stockings was really interesting!
Having only worn women's clothing for one day, An Heyu was clearly not used to it. Even in front of his subordinates in District 3, he would occasionally pull at his cloak. Seeing Li Li watching them, he just said helplessly, "Have you eaten yet?"
Li Li jumped off the container and walked openly in her high heels for him to see.
"Yeah." Li Li said with a smile, using the universal perfunctory phrase.
Only when the eternal night came did Li Li ask An Heyu what impression he had of Lin Ran.
An Heyu thought for a moment and said, "Even if she is in the floating city, she doesn't go out often. I haven't seen her."
In short, he is a stay-at-home, a very stay-at-home, who completely ignores the social interactions of the aristocracy.
Speaking of this, An He guessed based on his rich experience: "What happened?"
Li Li narrowed her eyes at him, and An Heyu continued to give examples, "For example, you broke into the Lin family's house during the day?"
"You have a big misunderstanding of me." Li Li shook her head.
"That's right, I thought too much." An Heyu nodded in agreement with Li Li, and then said, "If you really want to do this, you will take me with you."
After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will you call me?"
Li Li smiled: "Yeah, your misunderstanding is very deep."
Is this because he suspects that she will sneak into the Lin family's house alone and cause a big commotion?
No, she really won’t. At least she will bring you as tools!
At this time, they were heading to the new base prepared by An Heyu. He was seriously managing this force, and it had taken shape in a few days.
Let's go there tonight and let Li Li and his new look show up in front of the little boss, confirm their female identity, and then give this organization a name.
"You must not just call it a small area." An Heyu began to worry on the way, "It's not nice to call the underground organization in District 3 a small area."
"You really don't know how to name something." Li Li raised her eyebrows, "Why not call her Xiao San?"
An Heyu: "...No, really not."
Li Li shrugged nonchalantly. Anyway, if she really called her Xiao San, An Heyu would accept it.
But just as they were about to see the building of the organization's base, she saw a man in white standing outside the gate of the base from a distance.
That's the uniform of the psychic guild.
With the help of her supernatural power, Li Li quickly saw the man's face with the help of the illusion.
This was the man she had seen the night before, walking with Lin Ruye and another Lin noble. He should be a subordinate of the Lin clan. He was also the man who raised suspicion about Li Li.
The crow circled in the night sky, taking everything within its range into Li Li's view.
He came alone. Li Li confirmed this.
When they approached, the man in white uniform turned around and saw Li Li and An Heyu beside her.
"I have something to ask you," he said, using the superior tone often used by superiors.
This made Li Li dispel some of her speculations, but...
Li Li smiled: "What a coincidence, I also have a question for you."
She can start from this person and learn a lot.
