The car was cruising at a speed of 80 miles per hour on the ring road, and Jane still had her eyes closed as if she was asleep.
Yu Zhesen didn't know where they were going. On one side of the road was the majestic steel jungle of Xingzhou City, and on the other side was the agricultural area with endless greenhouses.
They passed many forked roads, some leading to the urban area and some leading to the agricultural area. Yu Zhesen suddenly thought of a question - where would they end up if they kept driving on the road towards the agricultural area?
In the past, shuttle travel between revitalizing cities relied on aviation, ports, or high-speed rail trains, but there was never an option to drive yourself because there were very vast development areas and even foreign areas between different revitalizing cities.
It is said that the distance between the revitalized cities is only an insignificant corner of the entire planet, and it is difficult to measure just this distance with a wheel, let alone the more peripheral civilized deserts.
Xingzhou City has been expanded several times. The urban area is very large, and the ring road is also a bit scary. There are scattered service areas for passers-by to rest along the way.
Yu Zhesen drove the car into the service road leading to the service area. The obvious downhill feeling made Jane in the passenger seat still open her eyes. She glanced at the scene outside the car window and asked uneasily: "Where is this?"
"Can't you see the big sign in front? Parking, Eating, Gas, Toilet."
"Highway service area? Why did you bring me here?" Jane was still confused.
"Parking, eating, gas, toilet." Yu Zhesen lazily answered her by repeating what was written on the sign.
Jane still glanced at the dashboard: "Isn't there still half the fuel? Do you think I can't read the fuel gauge?"
"It's polite to fill up the gas when driving someone else's car." Yu Zhesen said righteously.
As expected, he drove the car into the gas station in the service area to refill the fuel, then drove into the parking lot and found a spacious parking space.
"Get out of the car, little Jane."
"Are you sure?" Jane still unbuckled her seat belt and put her hand on the door handle, "How dare you bring me to a place like this? Aren't you afraid that I might cause trouble later and hurt innocent people?"
Yu Zhesen didn't take it seriously: "Your weapon was dropped outside the underground processing factory, and your superpower is locked again. No matter how much trouble you make, you won't be able to stir up trouble."
Jane still "hummed", opened the car door and got out of the car, and touched the limiter collar on her neck with a look of displeasure.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat, and let's talk about the whereabouts of Min Yuan and Cheng Taiyi." Yu Zhesen walked up to Jian Yiran and patted her on the back as before.
There were many large and small fast food restaurants in the service area, but it was still early for lunch, so Yu Zhesen chose the Burger King chain store to save trouble.
He used his mobile phone to scan the order code on his seat and threw it to Jian Yiran, saying generously that he could order whatever he wanted to eat.
Jane still hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the phone and clicked wildly, then skillfully entered the payment interface and approached Yu Zhesen's bracelet.
The bill displayed in real time on the bracelet made Yu Zhesen feel a little bit sad. The food Jian Yiran ordered was obviously beyond the scope of dining for two people. She probably did it out of revenge.
But since he had already told her to "eat whatever you want", no matter how much he felt sorry for the waste, he couldn't show it. Yu Zhesen quickly figured it out on his own. If he could regain his relationship with Xiao Jian, spending a little money wouldn't be a big deal.
, anyway, he didn’t plan to get back the large sum of money he borrowed before.
"How did you get in touch with the Black Dragon? Xingzhou City is an unfamiliar place to you." Yu Zhesen asked her while waiting for the meal.
Jane was still waiting for her with her eyes wide open and without a smile, and she still said angrily: "We have a complete intelligence network, and the sect has been operating for many years."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhesen knew that she was deceiving him, and said with a drooping face, "This is not funny at all."
"You don't care how I found the 'Black Dragon'?" Jane still pouted, "I can find them anyway."
"Okay, so where are they?"
"I will tell you naturally when Min Yuan and Cheng Tae Yi pick me up."
"Huh? Are you negotiating terms with me?" Yu Zhesen couldn't help laughing, "Selling out the 'Black Dragon' in exchange for your own freedom?"
"It's not about betrayal, I just came to trick them." Jane still smiled lightly.
"But to me, your value is obviously higher than that of the Black Dragon." Yu Zhesen deliberately showed a very conflicted expression, "Just providing information about the Black Dragon is not enough to exchange for your freedom."
Jane still glanced at him coldly: "Senior, do you still want to face me? Not only did you plot against me based on my trust in you, but now you are bullying me and threatening me."
"Since you are a high-ranking priest of the Advent sect, is it your fault for trusting me?"
"It's you who thinks you are at odds with us, not me!"
Jane was still very angry again and gritted her teeth.
As soon as the burger was delivered, she grabbed it and took a big bite. With her gloomy expression, she seemed to be telling Yu Zhesen that she wanted to "eat the meat raw" from you just like she did with this burger.
Yu Zhesen held his cheek with his hand and looked at her with a half-smile: "You were not like this when you were crying and begging for mercy in the car just now."
"I'm not crying, you must be hallucinating." Jane still turned her back and refused to admit it.
"There is a video on the driving recorder. Do you want to make a copy and take it home as a souvenir?"
"You..." Jane still almost couldn't help but swear at him.
However, she suddenly realized that she almost missed the hidden information in Yu Zhesen's words. After thinking about it carefully, she asked in surprise: "Did you just say...'take me back'? Will you let me go back?"
"You really don't want to stay?" Yu Zhesen asked seriously.
Of course not, Jane still said so in her heart, but she did not answer immediately.
She heard the "shadow" tugging at her mind, saying this was the only chance to change sides.
Changing sides didn't appeal to her at all, and of course she wouldn't consider it, but "Shadow" immediately said that this was also an opportunity for her to get back on good terms with her "seniors".
Shut up! Jane still scolded "Shadow" for trying to shake the morale of the army.
What does it mean to get back together? They have never been "good" at all! Jane still firmly believes that all the kindness and tenderness that Yu Zhesen showed towards her was for the non-existent phantom that was played out in the past, the new member of the special service team Xiao Jane.
phantom.
She chewed the food calmly, slowly finished swallowing, and then said: "I can't let my real self stay in a place where she doesn't belong, and there are still many people waiting for me."
"Really?" Although Yu Zhesen had anticipated the answer, he still felt regretful.
He felt that his loss at this time was surprisingly similar to "broken love", just like the loneliness and sadness he felt when he left Xingzhou City resolutely after hearing that An He was going to participate in the blind date arranged by the Marriage and Education Bureau.
"Thank you for your kindness." Jian Yiran's dialogue was also very similar to that of a girl who had just rejected her suitor. "The plan has not kept up with the changes. At the beginning, I had planned to stay by your side in that disguised identity, not to mention permanently.
It’s also in the long term. Because according to Mr. Friedheim’s plan, it can be foreseen that the sect will not launch attacks on Renaissance City at least within a few years, and I don’t have any special tasks to do.”
"Then why is it different from what you planned?" Yu Zhesen was curious.
"Because... I found that there is still something I can do. Even without the teacher's instructions and without the support of Ark." Jane Yiran's eyes when she answered these words gave Yu Zhesen a strange feeling, and there was something strange about her body.
A temperament that does not match the stereotype, like a cold and wise leader.
"The defeated army that gathered into Taiyi, and the two bereaved dogs, Min Yuan and Alitanova?"
"Don't put it in such a bad way, senior. Although it's almost the same..." Jane still shrugged, "I am not a bereaved dog myself. Isn't it also a heartwarming story of a bereaved dog and a bereaved dog hugging each other for warmth? Haha... I'm joking, actually.
My thought is very simple, since some people are willing to believe in me even though I have the title of high-ranking priest, I cannot let down their trust."
"So you betrayed my trust?"
"Pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful is of no use to me, senior, because my impression of you has already been set." Jane still couldn't help laughing, "Leave this side to those girls who really love you."
"Which side?" Yu Zhesen pretended to be stupid.
"A puppy caught in the rain." Jane still dodged her eyes and repeated in a low voice: "Aggrieved puppy soaked in the rain, that's probably what it feels like. But it's useless to me. I know you are a ferocious lion."
