"It turned out to be the real person who smuggled talismans! No wonder..."
"However, this thing has been seized, but no one has come to check the goods. I'm afraid the joints have been opened up and down."
"I……"
Cao Yanyue hesitated for a moment, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "What does a person with an imperial wanted order on his body have to fear?"
Cao Yanyue searched carefully and did not find the second box of special goods. He used the Xiuli Qiankun Technique, one of the seventy-two miraculous arts of the Kunlun Sword Immortal School, and put away the box containing the real Fu Lu, and it was done smoothly.
I packed seven or eight boxes of energy bars, cleaned up the traces a little, and left.
After about three and a half hours of walking, a group of men dressed as loaders and wearing smart sunglasses pried open the warehouse door.
They searched but found nothing. The burly man in charge was furious even through his smart sunglasses. He connected the communication and shouted in a low voice: "The news has leaked. Someone is taking advantage of us and robbed the place before us."
"Public Fu Lu Zhenren."
On the smart sunglasses, an electronically encrypted image popped up on the retinal light curtain. The electronically encrypted image wearing a lion mask asked angrily: "How can the news be leaked? Only a few of us know about it."
The burly man leading the team retorted: "This is not my problem. I didn't know where the goods were before I set off. There were surveillance cameras along the way. The problem can only be on your side."
The two argued for a while and broke up unhappy.
The sturdy man led his men to restore the warehouse and left quietly despite the raging anger.
In a luxuriously decorated office somewhere in the city, someone severely crushed the smart glasses.
Cao Yanyue didn't know what happened after he left.
He used the Ruyi Immortal Body of the Seventy-Two Secret Techniques of Kunlun to slightly change his appearance, so as not to be scanned by ubiquitous surveillance cameras and compared with the database of wanted orders, thus exposing his hidden identity.
His practice of this thaumaturgy is very average. He can only change his body shape slightly and his face can only change his appearance to a small extent, but it is enough to cope with surveillance.
As a media person, he is well aware of the characteristics of big data and has a priority for everything.
Even if he uses the Ruyi Immortal Body to change his appearance, he cannot completely avoid big data, but as long as he can postpone the priority, he can temporarily "get away from the database".
Cao Yanyue has never been in contact with the Black Warrior Group and has no connections, but he knows the dark corners of this city. Normally, he would never go to those places, but now he can only take a risk.
Cao Yanyue had no way to take transportation, let alone take to the air.
Fortunately, his body lightening skills are pretty good and his walking speed is not slow.
Cao Yanyue wandered around, just like an ordinary young man who just learned how to control Qi, moving from the warehouse area to the outer city, and gradually leaving the direction of the city center.
Modern cities have been divided into dozens of functional areas. It is said that such planning can reduce duplication of construction.
For example, schools no longer need to build separate libraries and self-study classrooms. Public libraries and public self-study classrooms in college districts can fully cover most schools and meet the needs of students.
For example, in the martial arts area, there are various venues and competitions of different levels all year round. Even if you want to practice alone, there are retreats for rent, and even temporary martial arts trainers, you can easily find a lot of choices.
Not to mention the tranquility of the business district, which is simply two different worlds from the tranquility of the residential area. The lights are brightly lit all night long, and it is so noisy and lively that it seems like the sun never sets and people never need to rest.
The outer city area is actually a general term. All areas that are not listed for development by the municipal government can be classified as the outer city area.
Many of these outer city areas do not even have formal police and security bureaus. Apart from tax agencies, there are no law enforcement agencies. The situation is unimaginably complicated.
Cao Yanyue is an ordinary wage earner, but after all, he is not at the bottom of society. He has never been to the outer city and has only heard about it through hearsay.
After several twists and turns, he entered the outer city area and could no longer see the surveillance cameras everywhere. The occasional few had been deliberately damaged.
Normally when encountering this kind of situation, Cao Yanyue would be worried about encountering criminals and not being able to quickly get protection from police and security forces, but now he could only breathe a sigh of relief and relax his tense nerves.
He didn't know what the situation was like in the outer city, so he could only wander around randomly. Occasionally when he saw a pub or a shop with a special sign, he would go in and have a look.
I don’t know if the news about the outer city that I usually browse is not true enough.
Cao Yan walked around for a few hours, but he didn't meet anyone who looked like a criminal. Instead, he saw some low-level people who he had only heard of but never seen, struggling to make ends meet.
These are people who have not been able to obtain citizenship and have only obtained civilian status. They cannot enjoy full citizenship rights, and their lives and work are affected.
Although Cao Yanyue was vigilant, he was an Internet celebrity after all and was not good at counter-reconnaissance. He didn't know that he was wandering around like a fat sheep and was being watched.
Cao Yanyue came out of a tavern and was very frustrated. This tavern had a tough style and looked like a place where criminals gathered. However, after sitting in for a while, he only saw that everyone was polite and not frowning at all.
Not even cold.
"Is the security of the empire really that good?"
“All the news I usually see is fake?”
"Usually the news is full of black warriors causing trouble, killing people, setting fires, smuggling, and committing all kinds of evil. I've been walking around the outer city for so long, and I haven't even seen a black shop that collects smuggled goods..."
He vaguely asked several weapon shops, wanting to sell a set of real Talismans, even if he suffered a small loss, but no one accepted illegal goods. Every shopkeeper spoke upright, and even swore on his business license that he was selling it.
They are all genuine goods and have the imperial industrial and commercial license.
Cao Yanyue was very frustrated. He got a glass of water at a free public facility, found a secluded place, took out an energy bar, and then bit open the outer package. He heard a rough voice shouting: "It's him who stole us."
Stuff in the store.”
A big man with energy embroidery on his body, leading seven or eight others of his kind, strode forward with an imposing manner.
Cao Yanyue hadn't arrived before the little white rabbit, so he believed that these people had misunderstood. He grinned and said, "Hand over the cash and the flying sword, and I will spare your life."
Even in the outer city, killing was a big deal, so Cao Yan agreed to follow the local customs and threatened not to maim the other person.
He really isn't afraid of these villains.
After all, he, Xiao Cao, is also a graduate of Kunlun Sword Immortal Academy. He is a genuine high-level Taoist priest with strong fighting ability.
Usually he is reluctant to take action because he is afraid that if he kills or maims someone, his meager income will not be able to compensate him. Now that there is an imperial wanted order, how can he be afraid?
Cao Yanyue spent the whole day in vain, and there was an inexplicable anger in his heart that he could no longer hold back.
The big man with energy embroidery on his body grinned wildly, looked around, and shouted: "Did you hear that? This little rabbit actually asked us to hand over cash and flying swords, and even spared our lives?"
Cao Yanyue stopped talking nonsense and concentrated slightly. The White Lotus Art of Troubled Times circulated around his body and he suddenly took action.
