Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it carefully...she didn't seem to have any news about death, so why did the person opposite her have the expression as if he had seen a ghost?
Yuan Yuanyuan actually didn't want to come here. It would have been so nice to just stay in the tavern...but there was nothing she could do. She heard that the top management of City C seemed to have made some moves recently. The tavern didn't know enough about the top management of City C, and the few spies they had were eliminated in an operation last month.
At first, Yuan Yuanyuan was still complaining about why the high-level executives in C City were so awesome, but then the lady boss solved the question with just one sentence:
There are many descendants of the 17th generation among the senior officials of City C.
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized and said "oh", then decided not to continue to complain.
This doesn't seem to be the point. The point is that they can't get into City C at the moment. Since the attitude of the Mask Organization has been rather strange recently, everyone is worried about what they have discussed among themselves. However, they can't send new spies in for the time being, so they urgently need to send someone out to gather information.
Yuan Yuanyuan discussed with the proprietress for several days, and finally they decided on a plan - to have Yuan Yuanyuan go there in person to ask.
Although it is still a secret that she is not dead, it is not a big deal to tell it to others, because those people will not be able to find her anyway. The situation is urgent now, and maybe it is best to go directly to her. Maybe this will scare the other party and make them say something they shouldn't say.
Fearing that something might happen, Yuan Yuanyuan made sufficient preparations before coming this time. The lady boss gave her a talisman, and if anything happened, she could just crush the talisman and come back. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this thing was very similar to the ability of the boy who could turn into light in the mask organization, a bit like a teleportation talisman.
But Yuan Yuanyuan did not intend to rely solely on this. With her strength, it would not be easy for those people to keep her.
She now appeared in front of a colleague she was quite familiar with when she worked there before, a little demon who seemed to adore Yiqi. She thought that this little demon would not be too excited to see Yiqi, nor would he sell her out as soon as he met her.
The little monster on the opposite side kept looking at Yuan Yuanyuan with a look of seeing a ghost. Yuan Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable under his stare. She thought, did she find the wrong person? No, she had considered it for a long time before coming.
Just as she was about to speak, the little monster opposite her suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yuan, Master Yuan, you are not dead yet?"
Nonsense, when you die the one in front of you will be a ghost.
Yuan Yuanyuan walked over and found that the little monster opposite did not move. Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although the little monster was a little stupid, he was still very considerate.
The little monster asked Yuan Yuanyuan, "My Lord, you are okay, that's really great... Then why didn't you come back for so long?"
The place where the two people met was a dark alley with wet moss growing in the corner. The sunlight shone through it, casting mottled light on the alley.
Yuan Yuanyuan on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and her face hidden in the darkness gradually appeared. The sunlight shone half on it, making her face half bright and half dark.
The little monster on the opposite side couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He stuttered a little, "Yuan, Master Yuan, there is another master in front, do you want me to take you there?"
Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned.
She didn't expect that there was a big monster nearby. When she came here just now, she only saw this little monster. However, if there is another big monster in front, then some of her plans should be changed. Originally, she thought that if there was no one nearby, it would be no problem to take the little monster away directly.
The little monster on the opposite side might have sensed Yuan Yuanyuan's intention and that's why he suddenly spoke. He is actually quite smart.
Yuan Yuanyuan followed him without saying anything. The little monster next to her was sweating profusely and kept trying to strike up a conversation with her, asking some meaningless questions, "My Lord, why did you come back just now?", "Where did you go before?", "We have been looking for you, why didn't you give us any news?"
Regarding these questions... She wanted to ask the big brother next to her directly, "Hasn't he read comics recently?" There are so many disturbances in and outside comics, why is he asking her such questions now...
Although there were many points to complain about, Yuan Yuanyuan did not say anything. She even turned around and glanced at the little monster, trying to figure out whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to know. Later, after seeing the little monster's performance, she realized that he was probably pretending not to know.
I was dodging and evading, not even daring to look her in the eye. Yuan Yuanyuan wanted you to come over and look at me, so what?
The two of them maintained a very strange atmosphere. The little monster knew where Yuan had been during this time, and Yuan Yuanyuan knew that the little monster knew where she had been during this time, but neither of them broke the window paper.
The little monster pretended not to know, and Yuan Yuanyuan pretended that she didn't know that the little monster knew.
Then the two of them walked to the front. Yuan Yuanyuan saw a person standing there, and she felt vaguely that he looked familiar. She should have seen him when she was in City C, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
Opposite him was a man who looked a little lazy. He turned around when he heard the shout, and when he saw Yuan Yuanyuan, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he quickly jumped down from the platform, where he had been leaning in a very paralyzed posture.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the man opposite her. He was handsome and attracted her a little. In addition, he looked familiar, so Yuan Yuanyuan's favorability towards him increased greatly.
The first words this man said further increased her favorability towards him, "Master Yuan, welcome back."
Lin Gutou looked at Yuan across from him, and in his heart he was swiping the screen like crazy, "Oh my god! This guy is not dead! How did he suddenly appear here? Why didn't he ask Miss Lian to settle the accounts before he left today?"
He lowered his head. He had not been so respectful when facing Yuan before. But recently, everyone knew that there might be big problems behind this person. There might be various forces intertwined behind him. If he was slightly involved, he would die without a burial place.
Sometimes he even thought the man in front of him was incredible. If anyone else had been involved in one of these things, they would have been dead on the street. But this man had been involved in so many things in a row, yet he was still standing here intact.
It's just horrible.
Although Lin Gutou had a lot on his mind, he looked very respectful. He actually had respect for this man.
When Yuan first disappeared, there was a lot of commotion in City C. Some of them swore that Yuan had betrayed them, and even spies sent into the Mask Organization said they had seen Yuan.
The entire city of C was on alert for Yuan. Anyone who looked like Yuan was required to report it, and the city was in an uproar for a long time.
Although Lin Gutou didn't participate too much during that period, he also experienced that atmosphere. He actually always felt a sense of destruction, because if Yuan really joined the Mask Organization, then in his eyes it would really be a joke. The person who opposed the devil so much in the past actually became a devil himself in the end.
Later, Lin Gutou talked to Miss Lian, who was also a little depressed during that time. The two of them sat on the wooden corridor. As one of the people who had the most contact with Yuan, Miss Lian was actually quite uncomfortable.
The two talked for a long time that day, and finally Miss Lian suddenly said, "Actually, Master Yuan was also seriously injured... If Master Yuan was still the same as he was back then, I don't think he would do such a thing."
Lin Gutou held up the wine bottle and thought about it. It was indeed true.
Sacrificing the interests of a few for the benefit of the majority... This is actually something Yuan would do. The situation is different now, and the current situation of the monsters may be very unacceptable to an old monster like him, so he wants to take a gamble.
But this did not prevent him from feeling melancholy, and he took another sip of wine at the thought.
After the memory ended, Lin Gutou looked at the man in front of him again and lowered his head a little more. The recent twists and turns were simply overwhelming for them. He observed Yuan in front of him, wanting to see what his physical condition was like, because the comics said that his health was very poor.
He looked up quietly, but couldn't tell anything from the surface... But the man in the comic should have been fighting in the sky when he suddenly ran out of energy and fell down. His current situation should be very bad, right?
Then this person...does he know that those things were drawn in the comics? This question suddenly popped up in Lin Gutou's mind.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what the people behind her were thinking, she just walked forward on her own. Lin Gutou kept looking at Yuan in front of him from behind, and a thought came to his mind vaguely - he couldn't be unaware of it... If he knew, how could he be so calm?
He had done something big... If he really knew about this, how could he have such an attitude? The little monster who had just brought him here was scared like this. It was very likely that Yuan was still subconsciously pretending in front of him and didn't know that his disguise had been exposed.
If it was him, I would have to explain it to him when we met... No, maybe this guy didn't read the latest comics, and no one told him about it? He didn't seem to have contacted anyone recently, so it's very likely that he didn't know the news outside. Maybe he had just come out recently after a narrow escape from the river and rested in a closed place for a while.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and just met Lin Gutou's eyes. Lin Gutou lowered his head suddenly, which scared her.
What are you doing...
Lin Gu's mind was spinning wildly... Although the possibility seemed very small, what if he really didn't know?
He suddenly had an idea - pretend that he didn't know the things in the comics, just talk to Yuanlai like before, answer whatever he asked, and as for the things revealed in the comics... never mention them.
Although the other party was seriously injured, Lin Gutou couldn't beat him for the time being. If the other party really didn't know, what if he told the other party and provoked him? Yuan was a murderer, and he didn't want to gamble on those possibilities at all.
I don't know why, but after making this decision, he actually felt a little excited. Of course, there are many monsters who don't read monster records, and many people have an attitude of indifference, but Lin Gutou is not like that, but he has to pretend now.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that Lin Gutou's eyes were creepy... How should I put it, he always seemed scary... Was he wondering why a dead person would steal corpses?
She didn't reveal her stance right away, because she didn't know what the top management's attitude was. But the things in the comics made her feel a little uneasy. Has this person ever read comics? If he has, he must know her attitude by now... If he hasn't, then she can still fool him.
…Then let’s just pretend that the other party doesn’t know, and also pretend that I don’t know. Anyway, the comics are not stamped, and if the other party is really a member of the mask organization, she can then claim that she is still a traitor and that the comics were just drawn by Ji Qiu.
The two people who actually knew the truth started acting out the situation... As the acting got heated, Lin Gutou asked Yuan Yuanyuan, "Master Yuan, your sudden return is a bit difficult to handle. Do you need to inform the city lord?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yuanyuan's footsteps staggered, and Lin Gutou suddenly stopped and looked over nervously, "Are you okay?"
He suddenly remembered that Yuan's injury was extremely serious, but now he had to pretend that he didn't know about it. He suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Yuan Yuanyuan calmed down her pounding heart to show that she was fine. She looked up at the sky in surprise, wondering what happened today? Why did she always feel that others were treating her strangely, and why did the goose bumps on her body never go away?
