The woman has beautiful burgundy long wavy hair, very fair skin, and a tall figure that is different from most women in the Xia Kingdom.
It's easy for people to see his mixed-race identity.
The woman was wearing a long dark green dress with elegant fabrics and carrying a delicate black bag. Her attire and aura seemed incompatible with everything around her.
Apparently she was aware of this herself and checked the signboard several times at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
It wasn't until he made eye contact with Lu Yuan that he finally walked in.
It wasn't Lu Yuan's outstanding appearance and temperament that attracted her and made her decide that Lu Yuan was the one she wanted to "face" soon.
But Lu Yuan was the only one in the breakfast shop, and he was still waving to her with a smile.
The woman walked up to Lu Yuan, took off her sunglasses, revealed a pair of lake-blue eyes, and said hesitantly: "Lu Yuan?"
The woman speaks Xia Mandarin fluently without any accent.
"right."
Lu Yuan nodded, he always used his real name to surf the Internet.
"I am Bai Cao Yingying, you can call me by my Xia country name - Bai Ying."
"Um."
He ordered two bowls of hot soy milk from the proprietress, and then called to the woman, "Sit down and chat while we eat."
The woman looked at the old wooden tables and chairs in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then put down her bag and sat down in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan handed her the bowls and chopsticks that had been prepared long ago and said with a smile: "There are no high-end cafes in this small place in Jiaoyan.
I guess you are tired of those drinks, so I thought I would take you to try these local snacks.
The buns here taste good.”
"Thanks."
Bai Ying used disposable chopsticks to pick up a bun and put it in the white porcelain bowl in front of her. She paused and said, "Bao buns are not considered a local specialty.
In fact, I lived in Xia Kingdom until I was fifteen years old. I have eaten most of the things you have eaten.
However, this is indeed a taste that people have not seen for a long time.”
Bai Ying gently took a bite of the bun, her movements were very graceful, and she looked like a member of the upper class.
After politely tasting the "delicious food" recommended by Lu Yuan, she put down her chopsticks and glanced around.
After seeing the breakfast shop owner and his wife who were busy inside and no one else, he whispered to Lu Yuan: "How is your friend involved in the Ganesha Cult doing now?"
"It's my sister."
Lu Yuan picked up a bun and dipped it in some chili sauce.
The hot sauce of this breakfast shop is specially made by itself, using raw green peppers. It is sour and spicy, which is very suitable for Lu Yuan's taste.
"She's doing fine now.
But she had an elder mentor who disappeared not long ago."
"Is your surname Xia? Your name is Xia Weimin?"
Baiyinghu's blue eyes flashed and he said quickly.
Lu Yuan had a "surprised" expression on his face, "How did you know?"
"Also in the archaeological community, I have heard some news."
Bai Ying replied vaguely, and then said seriously to Lu Yuan: "Actually, the real purpose of my coming here this time is to advise you.
Don’t pursue this matter any further.”
"Why?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown, and put down the bun he originally planned to bite.
"My sister's archaeological team really encountered a terrifying monster, the same sketch photos I sent you before.
I am now convinced that the Ganesha cult’s curse is real, and I will not rest assured until I understand the truth of the matter and remove the possible curse on my sister.”
Bai Ying frowned as if he wanted to say something, thought about it for a moment, and then said in a complicated tone: "But the truth may be more complicated than you think.
The Xia Kingdom archaeological team that excavated the ruins of the Elephant God Cult and the monsters they saw in Xisu were just the tip of the iceberg of the horror of this incident.
I’ll tell you straight”
Bai Ying paused and said in a deep voice: "Your sister's senior mentor, Professor Xia Weimin, should be dead.
Because he took the 'key' privately."
"key?"
Lu Yuan caught the word in Bai Ying's words and his eyes flashed.
"Yes, a key to unlocking the dusty history of the Ganesha Cult."
Bai Ying emphasized: "Many people want to get this key. This is a huge vortex, and you are still outside the vortex.
But if you continue to pursue it in depth, you will probably be caught in the whirlpool and eventually be torn into pieces."
"Can you be more specific?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the breakfast shop proprietress who came up with two bowls of soy milk.
Bai Ying said nothing, and waited until the proprietress put down the soy milk and left, then she said seriously to Lu Yuan: "What I say next may be a bit shocking, but I guarantee it is true.
Just be mentally prepared."
"you say."
Lu Yuanduan took a sip of the hot soy milk that had just been served.
Bai Ying took a breath, and then said slowly and extremely seriously: "Do you believe that there are really ancient gods like God in this world?"
"Um?"
Lu Yuan's expression changed. He held the soy milk in his hand and looked at Bai Ying intently.
"Although I have been engaged in related archaeological work, I have always felt that the gods recorded in the myths and legends passed down are just some conjectures of ancient ancestors about the unknown power of nature.
But now"
She shook her head, "I found that I was wrong. The world is far more mysterious and vast than we imagined.
I only recently learned that there are a group of people in this world who have been searching for the backs and traces of ancient gods.
And they've even gotten some strong evidence."
At this point, Bai Ying stopped, then stared straight at Lu Yuan, and said word by word: "Have you ever seen someone who can master the power of gods without relying on any means of technological transformation, and can do it by himself alone?"
A super human who can compete with mechas and guns?"
"Ahem——"
Lu Yuan choked on the soy milk and looked at Bai Ying with a "shocked" expression.
Bai Ying seemed to have expected such a reaction, and continued with an understanding face: "I know this is ridiculous.
But it's true, I've seen this kind of person with my own eyes.
They can control thunder and fire, control crows, rats, and bats as messengers, and even their physical appearance has become completely different from ordinary people.
They claim to be messengers of gods, walking between light and darkness."
Lu Yuan looked "confused".
Bai Ying continued: "The 'key' is their key to unlocking the treasure of the gods.
This time the Xia Kingdom's archaeological team unearthed the 'key'.
Therefore, the Ganesha cult incident this time involves something very deep and very dangerous."
Bai Ying glanced at Lu Yuan and said comfortingly: "I know you have a certain amount of strength and are much better than most of your peers.
But this is really not something that ordinary people like you can get involved in.
Your sister doesn't have a 'key', so she should be fine.
So you'd better give up the investigation now and get out of this matter.
Whatever I tell you today, treat it as a secret and keep it in your stomach."
Bai Ying stood up, picked up her small satchel, looked at Lu Yuan earnestly, and whispered: "Think about it carefully, I hope we can have a chance to meet next time."
After saying that, Bai Ying turned around and quickly left the shop.
Lu Yuan sat alone in the breakfast shop, silently drinking two bowls of hot soy milk.
As if pondering what Bai Ying just said.
In fact, he is using his authority to search for information, and by the way, he is giving the order to "escort Bai Ying away" to Bai Xiong who is hiding around.
"key"
Lu Yuan searched Huang Xiong's internal database and quickly got the information he wanted.
"Most evil mysteries are open-ended.
However, there are a small number of evil mysterious realms that need to be opened through special prop induction.
Generally, the latter has a higher degree of danger and exploration value.”
Lu Yuan looked at the information displayed on the file and thought to himself: "So the luminous stone balls dug by the sisters in Xisu are the key to the secret realm of the Xiangshen Cult.
Then this secret realm of Xiangshen Cult is quite important, right?
This time it was indeed Huang Xiong who ignored it.
wrong."
He quickly shook his head in denial.
"I am a Golden Bear now. Since I have paid attention to this matter, it means that the Yellow Bear has paid attention to it and participated in it.
Not only for my sister, this matter should also continue to be investigated."
Looking at Bai Ying's leaving figure, Lu Yuan recalled the way she had just explained the existence of the Evil God's Attendant to him in a serious manner.
I couldn't help but smile softly, and then continued to eat my unfinished breakfast.
"Deng-deng-deng——"
Bai Ying stepped on high heels and walked quickly to a black business car.
The door of the commercial vehicle opened and she quickly got in.
"Finished?"
A tall blond man in the passenger seat asked her in Havel language.
Bai Ying nodded, "I've already reminded him of everything that needs to be reminded. If he continues and something happens in the end, it's not my fault."
The tall man smiled and said calmly: "This netizen of yours is the core descendant of a certain ancient martial arts fighting school in Xia Kingdom, and his strength is considered very good at the level of ordinary people.
Maybe this is the source of his confidence."
Bai Ying shook her head and said: "Some people are always accustomed to using their current knowledge to measure and speculate on the entire world.
But the results often only prove their ignorance and ignorance.
This is sad”
"Okay, now that you have brought the words, there is no need to focus on these insignificant little characters."
The tall man said: "The organization speculates that the secret realm of the Xiangshen Cult that appears this time is very likely to be the most valuable secret realm in the past few decades.
Xia Guo doesn't seem to realize this yet, but sooner or later he will find out and get involved.
What we have to do is to get as many 'keys' as possible before Xia Guo reacts.
In this way, when the secret realm is truly opened, you can have more say and get greater benefits.
Miss Irina, you are an expert on the history of Ganesha.
In the next actions, we will inevitably need to rely on you, and I hope you can cooperate with us as much as possible."
"I see."
The tall man received Bai Ying's affirmative reply and glanced around through the car window.
He whispered: "Xia Guo's extraordinary organization has a really good nose, so they are eyeing it.
We have to leave here as soon as possible before they discover our true purpose."
After saying that, the man directed the driver to start the car and left here quickly.
At the breakfast restaurant, when Lu Yuan was eating the last steamed bun, he found a request from a subordinate for a call.
The applicant is one of the white bears stationed nearby, codenamed "Peregrine Falcon".
This was the first time Lu Yuan had a face-to-face conversation with the subordinate members of Huang Xiong.
He hesitated for a moment, then chose to connect.
"grown ups."
The person on the other end of the signal seemed much more nervous than he was, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
Come to think of it, most white bear guards don't have many opportunities to come into contact with red bears.
Not to mention a golden bear like him.
In the old city circle, he is truly a super big shot in the clouds.
"explain."
Lu Yuan did not deliberately hide his voice, and answered while slowly chewing the bun.
"The Javier woman you met has left.
She seems to be followed by Javier's Sleepless Ones."
"Sleepless one?!"
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"Sorry to disturb you, sir. Goodbye, sir."
Peregrine cut off the communication.
"The sleepless one."
While Lu Yuan was dipping the buns in chili sauce, he searched for information about this organization.
Discovered that the "Sleepless Ones" are an official supernatural organization of the Kingdom of Javier.
Similar to the yellow bear of Xia Kingdom.
The Far Star Federation also has a similar organization called "Sunkeepers".
"The sleepless one is the sunkeeper."
Lu Yuan briefly wrote down the names of these two organizations, finished the last basket of steamed buns, and drank the last sip of soy milk in the bowl.
Then he paid the bill and walked out of the breakfast shop with a normal expression.
