Tavern.

Alice drank her wine, looked at the bar owner, and picked up the topic: "Kino Van Helsing? I don't think I have heard of this name."

The boss sighed and said: "It is true that he is not well-known. I heard that he used to be the civil affairs officer of Xilin Town. He was unknown until the horse bandits invaded and he became famous in one battle."

Alice pretended to be curious: "Have you seen him?"

The boss said proudly: "Of course I have seen him. When he entered the city, I was one of the people who greeted him."

Alice tilted her head thoughtfully: "He was able to annihilate so many horse bandits in one fell swoop. I guess he must be a burly man!"

The boss showed a triumphant expression and said with a smile: "I thought so too at first, but it wasn't until I met the Chino Administrator that I realized how short-sighted I was. Not only was the Chino Administrator not tall, but he also looked tall.

Very petite, um... let me think about it... probably just up to my chest."

The boss stood up and gestured. He didn't notice that Alice's eyes were wandering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The boss sat down and took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "To be honest, he is so beautiful. If you are not careful, you may even mistake him for a girl. Especially his eyes, they are as beautiful as gems!"

Alice's breathing became abnormally disordered, and her voice began to tremble: "What color... are his eyes?"

The boss said without hesitation: "Amber."

"That's him!!!" Alice lost her voice in telepathy, "Dulang! I want to leave Twilight City now!"

Du Lang said quickly: "Wait! Don't make your own decisions! Calm down first, so what if it's him? We have B-class reincarnation disguises on us, and we are very safe now."

Alice's face was pale, like a string that was stretched to the limit and could break at any time: "No, I have been exposed! He knows we are coming!"

Du Lang was silent for a few seconds, probably confirming the situation of the reincarnation disguise, and quickly said: "The B-level reincarnation disguise is still in effect, and we have not been exposed."

"You believe me! We have been exposed! You must believe me on this matter!"

"Then why were you exposed?"

"I don't know..." Alice flexed her fists tightly, with beads of sweat on her forehead. "I don't know what arrangement he made, but I am clearly telling you now that we have been exposed! Don't ask why.

, I understand how scary this person is, he must have learned the information about me through some method, it must! It must! It must!"

Du Lang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to trust Alice's judgment. He said in a deep voice: "In this case, you can't evacuate Twilight City, otherwise our disguise will be in vain."

"What do you mean?" Alice was confused.

Durang explained: "Suppose you are right, Kino recognizes you in some way and knows that the reincarnation team is coming. If you choose to escape at this time, he will know that we have analyzed the current situation and will immediately start to come up with ideas

The next strategy, and we know nothing about this strategy, the situation will become very passive.

"But if you continue to stay in Twilight City and pretend as if nothing has happened, he won't know that we know that he knows that we are coming. Do you understand?"

Alice was stunned for a long time by the matryoshka-like rhetoric, and then she understood the logic of this sentence and hummed softly.

Durang continued: "Thinking from the worst point of view, the 'camouflage effect' of the B-class reincarnation disguise has existed in name only, but it still has meaning - let us take the initiative. Chino only knows you, not the rest of us.

, our team is still in the dark, he is in the light, this is our advantage!"

Alice subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I advise you not to underestimate this madman..."

Durang: "Crazy?"

"Yes, this man is a madman." Alice seemed to remember something terrible, and her lips lost color. "Do you know how I died at that time? The organization asked me to cooperate with him in that rapid processing mission.

When we arrived at the destination, he gave me a piece of chewing gum, and because I didn't say "thank you" after taking it, he broke off my arms and legs, threw me into the basement, and then found a meat grinder and cut the limbs out.

These non-lethal parts started to twist, and they hung me for more than half an hour! While he was twisting, he was still humming that damn Beethoven's music!"

Durang: "This can only mean that he has mental problems."

Alice: "No, you are not an insider in our field, so you have never heard of the "Smiling Devil" and don't know how scary he is. I must admit that you are indeed very smart. You are a top student at Yale University and you got the diploma at the age of 15.

PhD degree in physics. But let me give you a piece of advice, you are facing an existence that is smarter and crazier than you!"

Du Lang's voice was silent for half a minute, as if he was thinking, and then he said in a deep voice: "I will also tell you one thing. Except for cancer, I have never lost to anyone, and I will never lose. I didn't before, and I won't lose now."

, and never again in the future!”

Alice said quietly: "You'd better not lose, the lives of all of us depend on your hands."

Du Lang's voice was full of confidence and determination: "Don't worry, just leave it all to me, just like the previous tasks. And I have a condition. From now on, you must obey me unconditionally. You can ask questions and give suggestions.

, but you are not allowed to question it. You must obey all my orders. Even if I ask you to stab yourself in the heart with a knife now, it must be meaningful and you must do it."

"knew..."

"You don't need to worry now. Even if Kino recognizes you, he will never take action easily because he doesn't know the location of other reincarnations. You can continue to spy on the information and get close to the boss. You have left him alone for too long.

"

Only then did Alice come back to her senses. The boss was sitting there awkwardly. He had just said a lot of things, but Alice didn't respond. He thought he had made an awkward conversation.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Alice finished her glass of wine, subconsciously glanced at her trembling hands, moved them under the table to hide them, and asked with a smile, "Can I have another glass? Dusk.

The city is colder than I thought, and I want to warm myself up."

"Of course!" The boss walked to the kitchen and brought back a cup of hot ginger wine. "The ginger is freshly ground. One cup of it will keep you warm all night."

Durang: "Ask how to get close to Kino. Ask politely, don't be too direct."

Alice pushed her hair behind her ears, peeked at her boss, and asked coyly: "You just said that Administrator Chino is very beautiful, I...is there any chance that I can see his dignity?"

"

The boss showed an "I understand" smile: "It's strange to say that little girls nowadays seem to like pretty boys, and no one likes us rough guys likes us, hahaha... But it's a pity, unless

When the Chief Executive goes out, it will be difficult for you to see him...or..."

Without needing to be reminded, Alice pressed, "Or?"

The boss shrugged: "If you plan to settle in Twilight City for a long time, and you happen to be looking for a job, you can apply for a maid in the administrative residence. The new administrator loves to be clean. It turns out that the mansion is short of manpower and is recruiting more people.

, not only food and accommodation are included, but the salary is also very good.”

Alice said in the psychic network: "This is a good opportunity, but it's a pity that he and I know each other, so we can't apply for it, otherwise we will fall into a trap."

"You don't have to worry about these things. I have my own plan." Du Lang thought for a while and said, "I have asked enough questions today. It will be suspicious if I ask any more questions. You can find a place to stay first. I'm going to sort it out.

I will continue to contact you tomorrow."

Alice pretended to be a little drunk, put the back of her hand on her face, and said dazedly: "Oh, it's a pity, I don't like the kind of job where I am inferior to others. Hiccup... Well, I drank too much. There are some good ones around here.

A place to stay?”

The boss said enthusiastically: "Our tavern is also a hotel. We have many rooms, which are clean and affordable. If you stay with us, we will give you a 50% discount."

Durang: "It's right here. The tavern is full of people and people from all walks of life are well-informed. It's a good place."

Alice smiled and said, "Okay, let's live here. Find me a room with the largest bed."
