Chapter 231 Fragments of the past

Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to try this extremely difficult bounty task. After all, the bounty offered by the Spirit Shadow Society was very tempting, and the client was the legendary Spirit Shadow Society with a lot of money.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also became somewhat interested in the information provided by the Spirit Shadow Society. Does that white-haired humanoid girl really have the kind of heaven-defying power in urban legends?

After Xiang Yu accepted this commission, he obtained a basic information on the humanoid girl from the Spirit Shadow Society.

In fact, Xiang Yu himself was not sure whether he could complete this task. After all, the search scope required was the entire Red Federation. Without specific information, this behavior was basically equivalent to searching for a designated grain of sand in the sea.

However, Xiang Yu still set out, and he also wanted to relax. He was a little tired of the long-term mercenary missions, and it would be good to go out for a wander once in a while.

In this way, Xiang Yu followed the wandering route in the past and headed west.

Along the way, Xiang Yu stopped and walked, appreciating the customs and customs of various places.

Just when Xiang Yu came to the border of the capital city of Kenuo, a mercenary whom Xiang Yu knew stopped him.

The mercenary said decisively to Xiang Yu: "Mr. Xiang Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are actually coming to the capital. Could it be that...are you here to challenge that impossible task?"

"Well, so are you."

"If you really want that large amount of money, I advise you not to waste time in the capital. I have been searching in the capital for a month, and the white humanoid girl is not there." The mercenary looked at him with piercing eyes and held his hand.

On Xiang Yu's shoulders.

But his intuition told Xiang Yu that he couldn't completely listen to the mercenary, and he had to go to the capital to find it himself.

Xiang Yu smiled slightly, then turned around and broke away from the mercenary's hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to confirm it with my own eyes. Maybe I am lucky enough to meet you."

"Hmph, don't you even believe the words of acquaintances? You are indeed pure and innocent, but you are pretending to be noble." The mercenary said something unpleasant and left directly.

Xiang Yu wanted to talk to the mercenary before he left, but what the mercenary said just now made him feel a little chilled, so he never plucked up the courage.

Are you a dispensable person to them?

"Maybe I really am that kind of person. But no matter what, even if I am alone, I have to go on. If I don't move forward, I will retreat."

You have made your own choice, so you have to go on even if you are crawling or kneeling.

In this way, Xiang Yu insisted on the path he chose and came alone to Kenocheng, the capital of the most prosperous city in the Red Federation.

This is also the first time that Xiang Yu has come to the capital of the Federation in so many years.

Due to the special political environment here, underground mercenary missions avoid the capital, and none of the mission content is related to the capital.

Next, Xiang Yu will calm down and search the vast capital for the humanoid girl codenamed "Muse".

In order to conduct a long-term search, Xiang Yu first had to find a place to stay in the capital.

House rents in the outer suburbs of the capital are twice as low as those in the city center. This makes Xiang Yu happy. He can use the money he has saved over the years to rent in the outer suburbs of the capital for half a year.

The problem of shelter has been successfully solved, and the next step is to change clothes and stock up on food.

.Xiang Yu prepared food from a convenience supermarket in the outskirts of the capital, and then went to a specialized shopping mall to buy a few sets of clothes he liked.

The next step is to make daily plans for living in the capital. Although most of the time is spent looking for mission goals, life still needs some fun.

All kinds of preparations were going on in an orderly manner. Xiang Yu felt as if he had settled in the capital, and he actually started to think about things like starting a family.

In the next six months, Xiang Yu has been settling in a declining area on the outskirts of the capital. There is nothing to pay attention to there, but the living conditions are much worse than in the central area.

In the process of searching for muse, Xiang Yu paid great attention to technique.

Xiang Yu is already in his forties. If he doesn't use his mind, he is likely to say, "Hello, I'm looking for a white-haired girl who looks to be in her teens." Such words can easily lead to strange misunderstandings.

In the eyes of others, if a middle-aged man goes around asking about the whereabouts of underage girls on the street, he will definitely be regarded as a pervert and call the police.

However, Xiang Yu had almost no other better option besides asking strangers. He didn't know anyone or any organization in the capital, and the search from scratch seemed far away.

If Xiangyu can have some connections and familiar human races in the capital, even if Xiangyu is in a peripheral area, it will not have any impact. Unfortunately, Xiangyu has nothing. He can only put on neat formal clothes every day and go to the center of the capital in person.

Search for [Muse] in the area.

Every day when he goes back to his room to sleep, Xiang Yu will think about one thing.

Why should I spend a lot of my savings and take huge risks to complete a seemingly impossible reward mission?

Is it just because of the huge bounties? Or is it the sense of adventure that brings both risk and reward?

Xiang Yu feels that the reasons why he wants to complete the task are very complicated, not only the ones mentioned above, but also include many, many various reasons.

——I want to prove my reputation as a non-killer, I want to understand the humanoid girl I have never seen before, I want to get...

However, Xiang Yu fell directly into a dream every time without reaching a conclusion.



During a month of exploration, Xiang Yu basically grasped the specific situation of the capital. This was due to his insistence on going to various parts of the capital every day to collect information about the white-haired humanoid girl.

Later, in order to improve the efficiency of obtaining intelligence, he hired several trustworthy private detectives in the capital to help him investigate the matter of the white-haired humanoid girl.

As for those colleagues who might be the first to take action, Xiang Yu paid close attention to their whereabouts in the online mercenary discussion forum to avoid unnecessary trouble if they encountered them.

In the mercenary secret discussion forum on the Internet, no mercenary mentioned this mission that was abandoned by most mercenaries at all, let alone the capital city of Keno.

Just a week before Xiang Yu's rent was due to expire, Xiang Yu finally got some relevant information from a hired private detective. The detective discovered a white-haired girl who looked very much like Muse.

Xiang Yu made an appointment with the detective to meet at a public place in the outskirts of the capital. Basically no humans would visit there, so it was a secret base that Xiang Yu found by chance.

The detective hired by Xiang Yu saw his client Xiang Yu and came over.

He took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello, Mr. Xiang Yu."

Xiang Yu is friendly

He held it up and said: "Hello, Mr. Detective, are you sure that girl is the target I asked for?"

The detective answered directly: "No, I can't confirm it with complete certainty, but the girl does roughly match your description."

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "That's great. Can you tell me the specific situation?"

The detective noticed the impatience in Xiang Yu's words, but he was his client after all, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't worry. After discovering the white-haired girl, I quietly followed her. Then, while ensuring that I was not discovered, I have confirmed the approximate range of the girl." The detective said without reservation.

Xiang Yu let go of his high spirits and said slowly: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Where in the capital is the white-haired girl?"

The detective said: "She probably went to the villa circle in the suburbs of the capital, towards the southeast."

Xiang Yu pondered for a while, and then replied: "The suburban villa circle in the southeast? I have never been to that place. It seems that I have omitted it... Thank you for the information. When I find her, I will pay you

I'll leave it to you every penny."

"Then I will quietly wait for the good news from Mr. Xiang Yu."

"Um."



Through this vague clue, Xiang Yu set his sights on the suburban villas in the capital.

Xiang Yu finally had a glimmer of hope that he could find [Muse]. The previous nearly six months of investigation and pursuit were all worthwhile.

If you work harder, victory will be right in front of you.

However, relying on this information alone, Xiang Yu was still unable to determine the specific location of [Muse], but the search range was indeed much smaller.

Over the next week, Xiangyu wandered around that area day after day.

The hard work paid off, and three days later, Xiang Yu was lucky enough to find the white-haired girl. That was indeed the target of the Spirit Shadow Society's huge bounty - the humanoid girl [Muse].

This time, Xiang Yu didn't want to hesitate. He risked being discovered and directly found the destination of the humanoid girl.

——After narrowing down the scope, Xiang Yu officially confirmed the address of [Muse].

It was a large villa located in the villa circle on the outskirts of the capital. It was not too far from the core area and outer suburbs of the capital.

According to Xiang Yu's careful investigation, there is also a brother and sister living in that villa. They should be kind-hearted people who took Muse in.

If Xiang Yu chooses to come directly to discuss with the humanoid girl about taking her out of the capital, there may be misunderstandings and hostility between them. To be on the safe side, Xiang Yu was careful. He sent a letter to Yu Chen's family.

He expressed his purpose of coming.

By writing a tactful letter, Xiangyu sent an invitation to [Muse] that was difficult to ignore.

Write the word "Muse" on the recipient of the letter and mention the temptation of past memories. The amnesiac humanoid girl may choose to follow Xiang Yu to the Spirit Shadow Society in ASEAN City for the sake of her past life experience.

If everything goes well, then Xiang Yu will be the first lucky person to complete this commission.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu was a little excited. After all, his life in the capital for the past six months was not in vain.

——These are the stories before Xiang Yu and Ling Si met.
