"...If according to what you just described, sir, I have indeed met that girl." The old lady thought for a while and then said slowly, "Is it a little girl wearing a hoodie? About a month ago
A while ago, around three or four in the morning, a little girl with a hat so low that her face was covered came here."
"She asked me about information about the Spirit Shadow Society, and said that it had something to do with the Spirit Shadow Society. I told her part of the information I knew, and then she left. That's what I knew. As for what happened to her later
Where he went, I don’t know.”
After thinking for a moment, Linyao replied: "By the way, there is not a building of the Spirit Shadow Society nearby - the headquarters building of the Spirit Shadow Society. The white-haired girl should have gone there."
The old lady answered vaguely: "I'm not sure about this either. It was already late at night when the little girl came to the store, and the headquarters building was closed at that time."
Looking back on Ayasi's previous actions in proactively contacting the ASEAN City police, it was also consistent with the characteristics of playing hard to get.
Linyao paid the amount of the goods and said gratefully: "Old man, thank you for cooperating with the work of the ASEAN City Police Department. I have other things to deal with later, so I will leave first."
"You're welcome. Walk slowly, sir."
It was not in vain that Linyao kept working on his rest day, and he got important information.
Linyao thought for a while and then left the ASEAN city center area.
Through the government's special transmission line, Linyao sent a message to all police members to "pay special attention to the Spirit Shadow Society, especially the Spirit Shadow Society headquarters building."
"Although results have been achieved, there is still a long way to go."
…
Lingyinghui main base.
After that failed negotiation meeting, Xiang Yu was picked up by a special car and finally returned to the main base of the Lingying Society safely.
The official notice from the ASEAN city government has been sent out. The Lingying Association has already learned about the failed outcome of this business negotiation meeting.
President Mo Tong was a bit abnormal. He did not discuss this matter with Xiang Yu. He just told him not to care. He did not need to bear any responsibility for this mission.
At this point, the matter has almost come to an end.
.But Xiang Yu could not let go for a long time.
Xiang Yu thought to himself, has he really changed after meeting Ling Si or after joining the Spirit Shadow Society?
The answer is uncertain, and there is no standard answer to such a multi-faceted matter.
Sandwiched between the two leaders, Mo Tong and Ling Si, he tried his best to follow the trend and try to meet everyone's requirements. When he thought of this, Xiang Yu felt a heavy sense of powerlessness lingering in his heart.
Xiang Yu couldn't figure out what he should do. Besides, trusting the mysterious humanoid girl (referring to Lingsi) was also very risky. Should he start thinking about his own future after Lingsi failed to defect from now on?
Escape plan?
"I didn't expect that time waits for no one. As soon as I open my eyes and close my eyes, just over ten years will pass." Xiang Yu, who couldn't get the answer, leaned on his chair melancholy.
After a long time, Xiang Yu finally came back to his senses.
Xiang Yu looked at the table in front of him. He reached out and opened the top drawer. There was an electronic compressed file inside. It recorded Xiang Yu's memories of the past ten years.
The life of a mercenary for more than ten years was still deeply etched in Xiang Yu's mind.
At first, no one in the Federation knew him. He was just a traveler wandering around.
For some unspeakable reasons, he forgot his hometown, abandoned his relatives, and wandered around various places alone.
A few years later, Xiang Yu was just an unknown person, a humble underground mercenary active in the eastern part of the Federation.
While accepting mercenary missions in the black market, he wandered aimlessly. For a meager bounty, he walked alone on the edge of a knife.
Xiang Yu has a very strong desire to survive. It can even be said that it is his desire to survive that has allowed him to survive until today. Although the money obtained from the black markets in various places is not very clean, in order to survive, Xiang Yu can do anything no matter what the situation.
Choose patience.
Ten years later, Xiang Yu gradually made a group of trustworthy friends.
Through additional information sales and exchanges during the execution of mercenary missions, Xiang Yu can earn some tips. He clearly knows where there is money to be made. The keen sense of smell developed by being in society for a long time allows him to sniff out money skillfully.
the taste of.
Everything is for survival, for the soul that I don’t want to destroy
.
What makes Xiang Yu feel a little incredible is that he has basically never killed anyone himself.
In more than ten years of mercenary career, he has gained a certain reputation in the industry, but he is a rare non-killer in the mercenary world.
In order to maintain the principle of not killing, Xiang Yu chose to cowardly escape. However, escaping could not solve the conflict, and Xiang Yu's industry was extremely cruel. Almost all of his friends were dead or injured, and almost all of them lost contact.
Although Xiang Yu's avoidance of trouble allowed him to successfully save his life, the cowardice in his heart gave him no comfort. He also returned to his original life of being alone.
He realized that he had fallen into an invisible trap. The originally glorious name of "Non-Killer" had long been tainted by jealous people with an impure color.
When Xiang Yu was isolated and helpless, some rumors spread. They said that Xiang Yu pretended to be pure and pure, kept his hands that had never been stained red, and then borrowed other people's hands to commit crimes.
Xiang Yu felt a sense of fear as he saw himself being portrayed in an increasingly negative light and being misunderstood by the world.
Xiang Yu also tried to issue an announcement to explain, but the incompatible values themselves cannot prove themselves. When human beings look at existences that are different from themselves, it is easy to disagree and not face up to them.
Regarding the disputes he had caused, Xiang Yu chose to be temporarily forbearing. He believed that as long as he disappeared for a period of time, the matter would naturally pass away.
However, the goddess of luck still favored Xiang Yu at that time. While he was waiting passively, an opportunity for a slight change appeared.
A few years ago, when Xiang Yu was on a mission in ASEAN City, he happened to see an unprecedented special commission.
The client of the mission is the Spiritual Shadow Society, an emerging organization in ASEAN City. The goal of the mission is to search for a humanoid girl, covering the entire Red Federation, for a period of ten years.
Xiang Yu has received many requests to find missing persons before. This kind of thing relies on connections and luck. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu has failed in both of these tasks recently.
But Xiang Yu still accepted this task without hesitation, his intuition told him that he might be able to accomplish this task.
