"How's it going?"
In the real world, in a mansion villa in the downtown area of Hualan City, a man in black dressed like a bodyguard opened a door in front of him, and the faint voice of a woman who echoed inside suddenly became clear.
: "Hasn't that guy Lu Yang made a decision yet? If he doesn't decide yet, there's no need for us to continue waiting for him——"
"...That's right, that's right, the joint letter has been finalized, and now we are waiting to submit a formal protest application to the alliance...Wait a minute, what did you say?"
"Have they consulted the alliance in advance? Did anyone go to the hostile camp to consult for advice? Are those guys going to rebel? You go to them and then - no, forget it, no need to ask."
"Let's remove them from the list. The trend has been established. At this point, even I can't take into account the thoughts of one or two hesitant people."
After gently pressing the screen in front of her, the woman named Lou Yushang let out a complicated sigh. Covered in a long veil, she raised her right arm and slowly placed the communication ball in front of her.
On the exquisite communication platform, his eyes gradually turned back following this action: "What's the matter?"
"Miss, there is news from the free world." Without any change in his lowered head, the guard in black replied in a low voice: "Jianghu and Wizard asked people to send us the news, everything is ready.
alright."
"It's in line with what we agreed on at the beginning." The corners of his serious mouth raised slightly, and Lou Yushang's unattractive expression softened a bit with the words of the man in black: "Beforehand
Can the 'big move' that was promised be put into action now?"
"People from the Long family have confirmed this issue to us before. They seem to be very interested in the matter that you once proposed, Miss." He stood up and kept his head down, as if he did not dare to look directly at the building in front of him.
The man in black continued to whisper in a low voice: "As for Wizard, Luo Riguyan himself did not show up. They seem to be continuing to be busy in the game world."
"Wizzard...hum."
As if recalling some bad memories, Lou Yushang let out a heavy snort: "He and that scheming scholar must be planning how to make a lot of money from our actions now, no.
We have always regarded them as our allies, and we must be prepared for the final insurance."
"Mr. Wu thinks so too. He instructed us to make backup arrangements." The man in black nodded his head and bowed slightly and replied in a low voice: "As long as they dare to show up in any way in the final action,
If there are any abnormalities, we will take immediate action to exclude them from the plan."
"Time is running out, right?" Lou Yushang showed a mature and charming smile with satisfaction. Lou Yushang's eyes that looked a little tired due to busyness then moved to the side of the screen that continuously displayed light, shadow and data: "The New Year's Eve is approaching.
, the next time the league announces the hosting of the UEFA Cup will start soon..."
"Hopefully everything will change at that point."
Her eyes gradually became dull. The woman with wavy curly hair waved her hand casually. The guard in black who noticed this action also stood up and stepped back. He wanted to leave the room but was stopped by the next moment.
A voice interrupted: "Wait a minute."
"How's the situation inside...?"
The voice became softer, and Lou Yushang, who pointed forward, asked with a tired look on her face. The hesitation and restlessness on her face appeared at that moment, and the next moment it slowly disappeared as she lowered her head and stroked her forehead.
In the midst of the flashing light screen flowing with a large amount of data: "He...are they doing well now?"
"They have arrived in the City of Freedom, and they seem to be on some important mission." The guard in black turned around and lowered his head and reported solemnly: "Including Miss Ninglan, everyone is currently here.
If you are moving in an orderly manner in the city, you should have found the direction of your mission."
"...Have you found out the whereabouts of that girl?"
After spending a period of silence to digest the information just passed on by his subordinates, Lou Yushang also sorted out the thoughts in his mind from the sentimental state: "This is the person I told you before."
"We found her real-life address, which is not too far from our place." The voice of the report was obviously stunned. The man in black, who had recalled for a while, then replied in a low voice: "She now lives in Tianlin, District D.
In a rented room near the hospital, there is also a younger brother who is hospitalized in Tianlin Hospital. It is said that he was transferred from a welfare community in the suburbs and suffered from Anticru syndrome since he was a child——"
"I know all these things." He frowned and interrupted his subordinate's words. Lou Yushang waved his hand: "It's that terminal disease that is difficult to cure, right? Has she moved to live nearby?
Where does her money come from?”
"We don't know where she got the medical expenses, and we haven't had any contact with the target." The man in black replied quietly: "And according to our tracking and investigation, this girl has not appeared in the hospital for a long time.
"
"What?" Lou Yushang's expression changed slightly: "Did they—"
"Miss, don't worry, she should be fine." Holding down Lou Yushang's immediately raised voice, the man in black hurriedly explained: "She has been staying at home and has not gone out, and there is no trace of her life.
We didn't disturb each other's life, but from the observation of Team 8, she should, should..."
"It should be that he has been in the game world and has not come out."
He said these words, and then his voice was silent for a long time. Lou Yushang, who noticed something abnormal in this silence, then slowly raised his head, and his face and expression changed.
Extremely serious: "Could it be that she... no, she can't, she has neither learned how to use the Yi Sword, nor has she the ability to activate it to that point."
"Her current situation in the game world can be described as extremely difficult, and no one knows her whereabouts now." The man in black lowered his head and continued to report: "He in the game world is also currently actively tracking down the girl.
There seems to be some clues about his whereabouts now."
"Continue to secretly guard the whereabouts of both sides."
After taking two deep breaths, Lou Yushang's expression returned to its original calmness as her chest gradually relaxed: "There are still too many problems that have not been resolved. I don't have time to take care of these things yet."
, even if we solve the problem in the free world, it will not help the overall situation."
"For that moment to come."
She said this with a firm voice, and then gradually lowered her head as the man in black gradually bowed his head and exited the room. The long gauze figure belonging to this mature woman also appeared in a period of silence.
He walked to the other side of the second floor of the luxury villa and gently knocked on the door on that side: "...I have something to ask you."
"Ninglan is very busy now."
The feeling of silence continued for a while on the other side of the door, and then was suddenly broken by Ninglan's response: "Is there anything wrong with Miss Lou?"
"You...he..."
Suddenly she became a little overwhelmed, and the mature woman's eyes began to waver as she looked at the simple maid uniform that was half a head shorter: "Have you been in the City of Freedom recently?"
"yes."
Without the smile and warmth she had when facing Duan Qingzhi, Ninglan replied in a calm voice. The eyes that looked directly at the other party perfectly revealed her unwillingness to say a word, which also made her originally a little bit confused.
The hesitant Lou Yushang became a lot more irritable: "Are you... are you tracing the whereabouts of Mengzhu?"
"Since Miss Lou knows everything, there is no need to ask Ninglan anymore."
The breath behind the crack in the door became colder and colder, and Ninglan's ruthless eyes gradually turned towards the invisible darkness: "Just use your skills."
"wait wait wait!"
Lou Yushang hurriedly stopped the other party from trying to close the door. Lou Yushang's speech became much faster: "Then did you find her? What's her condition now?"
"We haven't found her yet. Your husband is also preparing for the next step." Ninglan's voice sounded in the darkness of the room where she couldn't see: "Ninglan also has a task assigned to her by her husband. She is offline and upstairs.
Meeting the young lady has already violated Ninglan's principles, so——"
"If Miss Lou really wants to see Mr. Lou, please go online to find him yourself."
The door was finally closed.
"Based on the action plan Mr. left before, he should be located near the hermit camp."
**********************************
"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."
At the same moment, in the bustling crowd near the hermit camp in the free world, the gray-robed magician who had just been dragged out looked helplessly at the female player in front of him, and at the same time rubbed himself a little bit due to the forceful tug.
Swollen wrist: "Is there something that can't be discussed inside, so we have to drag people outside to talk about it?"
"Do you think what you and I are going to say between you and me are just things that can be listened to by casual people?"
The tall and heroic figure of this female swordsman, who has short chestnut hair, a pair of beautiful big eyes that are half exposed, and a slightly rounded chin, also shrank a little as she moved closer to Duan Qing: "Even if there is a hidden...
The existence of the player camp is also a place where the players of Liberty City are intensively active, and don’t you still know what kind of style the players of Liberty City are like?”
"This is the real wilderness of the Free City." The thick eyebrows exposed between the short hair were slightly raised, and the female swordsman's eyes became much more serious: "It would be any other place in this area.
, Fresh meat like you might have been chewed up to the point where no bones are left!"
"Without a bad heart, people cannot survive in this city that symbolizes freedom - this sentence is also widely circulated here." He touched his nose and let out a bitter smile.
Duan Qing then turned back and glanced at the gate of the camp he had just walked out of behind him: "I have just experienced the customs and customs here. The so-called hermit camp was probably established to fight against this evil spirit.
.”
"So this - uh, Miss Smiling Cat."
Duan Qing gradually frowned, and then looked at the head of the tall, slender-legged female warrior standing in front of him with doubtful eyes: "By the way, your name looks a bit familiar."
"Ah? Really?" As if she had just realized this problem, the female warrior scratched her cheek and then looked a little embarrassed: "Have you seen this name elsewhere? I am usually careless and uncultured.
The level is not as high as others imagined, and the ID name I came up with is not of any level, and it sounds very ordinary..."
"If the name overlaps with that of any friend you know, just call me Miss Cat." She waved her palms in front of her, and a carefree smile appeared on her face again: "Or call me Meow Meow.
Cat Lady or something like that will do, but of course Cat Lady’s words are best.”
"It seems that you care about this title." So Duan Qing smiled bitterly and wiped the cold sweat on his head: "So - Sister Cat, you suddenly stopped me and pulled me out because you finally found out that I am a magician.
Is the alchemist worth it?"
"Yes, of course."
The words that seemed to be choked echoed again with the sassy voice of the warrior player. The smiling cat then patted Duan Qing on the shoulder in an encouraging manner: "I have been paying attention to you since just now. Listen.
You said you are now eager to find a team to join our hermit camp, right?"
"I want to borrow the power of a certain powerful team to pass a high-level task for us." In line with the other party's obvious prevarication, Duan Qing put away his doubts and replied with a smile: "Sister Mao, are you?
Are you going to give me a hand?"
"Uh... I don't have such a strong fixed team."
Her face became a little more embarrassed. The short-haired swordswoman then smiled and pointed at her chest covered by light armor: "But I have a higher-ranking mission."
She took out a small wooden sign from her waist, and then waved it at Duan Qing proudly: "As long as you have a high-ranking mission in hand, the team and other things are not easy to come by!"
"Uh, that is to say -" Duan Qing's smile twisted a little: "You are just one person?"
"Of course." He glanced at Duan Qing with a normal expression, and the smiling cat's bright smile began to slowly change: "Wait a minute, aren't you a team? Where are the others?"
"The members of our team are currently running around in other places. I am the only one here." Duan Qing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and replied in a low voice with an expressionless face: "I originally thought that things were going on here.
It will be very simple, I didn’t expect it...forget it, can you let me see the content of the task first?"
"You want to do it? Just for the two of us?" Her eyes widened in surprise. The female swordsman's movement of covering the wooden sign to her chest also seemed to loosen a little with Duan Qing's palm: "This is a hunter."
Kill the mission!"
"With just the two of us, it's impossible to complete this task."
