Chapter 17 The First Mission Journey(1/2)
"Awaited."
One p.m.
Chen Lusi was finally ready.
"It's been a long wait."
Wu You stood up and said listlessly: "For the first time, I discovered that visiting other people's homes is so painful... Lu Si, you should learn what it means to be a guest."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would welcome guests?"
Chen Lusi asked rhetorically.
Wu You was speechless and could only ask Li Tian to go out together.
Chen Lusi followed closely behind and was about to lock the door, but found that Xia Panqiu did not leave, but instead wandered around his room.
Chen Lusi was a little curious, but didn't ask any more questions.
He doesn't have any dirty secrets, just go shopping.
"..."
Xia Panqiu put the recovered camera into her pocket, turned around, and found Chen Lusi standing at the door with two others, looking at her.
...looks weird.
Xia Panqiu quickly realized something was wrong.
After all, this is someone else’s house...
So after a moment of silence, she looked at Chen Lusi and asked proactively: "Is your 'shadow' following you?"
"shadow?"
Chen Lusi was stunned for half a second and then realized: "She has disappeared."
"Disappear...got it."
Xia Panqiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Because while talking, she had already walked out of the room.
Chen Lusi gave her a strange look, but finally closed the door without saying anything.
Officially started his first mission trip.
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Lusi and the team arrived at the destination-Wucha Town.
This is a small town under the jurisdiction of Jiangchang City.
It's not far from Chen Lusi's hometown.
So after arriving at the destination, Chen Lusi just got out of the car. Before he could do anything, Wu You came up to him and hooked his neck: "Brother, have you been here before? Do you have any special products to introduce?"
"I've never been here before, so I don't know what the specialties are." Chen Lusi shook his head.
Wu You said in disbelief: "Isn't your hometown just next door?"
"I don't like to go out much."
Chen Lusi looked around and answered casually.
"..."
Wu You sighed, shrugged a little boringly, and turned towards Li Tian.
Chen Lusi continued to observe this small town only more than ten kilometers away from his hometown.
Currently they are in the town's bazaar where they regularly gather and trade.
Although the market is small and well-equipped, including banks, supermarkets and shops, it is obviously not a market day. Although the shops are open, there are not many people and it is very deserted.
And the arrival of these outsiders did not attract much attention.
After all, although Wucha Town is a bit remote, it is not a remote mountainous area in the true sense.
At this time.
Chen Lusi noticed Xia Panqiu next to him.
She stood quietly next to the car, unlike Chen Lusi and Li Tian who could tell at a glance that they were outsiders.
Look from a distance.
Compared with her peers, she has a petite figure, a cute face that is not too clear-cut, and a youthful atmosphere that is accentuated by her simple and light outfit.
All this made her look less like a foreigner and more like a student who skipped classes.
The only difference between her and Chen Lusi's impression of a high school girl was her long flowing hair.
Maybe she just felt that her long hair looked younger, so she cut it short?
Just like she deliberately wore old clothes, was it just a way to show her maturity?
Chen Lusi stared at her pretty short hair that reached her shoulders, and while thinking about it, she took the initiative to talk: "...What should we do next?"
"...Wait a minute, let me ask the locals if they have any famous legends about monsters."
Xia Panqiu turned around, hesitated for a while, and replied: "Although it is often useless, this is the only thing we can do. Most of the time, Kunlun can only give an approximate location and an approximate time, but
We have no way to deal with it in advance, we can only wait for thunderstorms and then try to control the situation."
"that's all?"
Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu's beautiful eyes under her glasses and was a little curious: "This is going to be a thunderstorm, won't it spread widely?"
Talk about it.
He didn't seem to have heard anything strange happened recently in the mainstream online community.
"One of the characteristics of the legendary activation is that there is no way to retain images of its body and related abnormal phenomena, and it can only be seen to be believed."
Xia Panqiu reached out and gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of her small nose, and replied: "There have been no examples of large-scale legend activation in urban centers. In most cases, legend activation occurs in remote small towns and
There won't be many witnesses in the deep mountains and forests, so we will use collective hypnosis for these witnesses to deliberately let them downplay the relevant memories."
"Most eyewitnesses have difficulty recalling specific scenes. Even if someone slips through the cracks and reports what they saw and heard without any evidence, do you believe it? In this world, various ghost stories can be made into a series.
The age of video.”
"oh……"
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and nodded, but soon he discovered a blind spot: "What about people like us? Why not hypnotize us to forget too? How can you be sure that we will not spread the word?"
"If you forget the relevant memories and then use your abilities inadvertently, it will be even more troublesome."
Xia Panqiu replied directly: "It's better to rely on a gimmick like the 'Mysterious Department' to shut you up first. Most people will most likely stay calm for a while after listening to the explanation, even if there are a few people
If you want to spread it out, we can control it.
And half a year later, most of the empowered people's abilities will be uniformly deprived of their abilities. At that time, the only evidence will have disappeared, and the words of those who have personally experienced it will be regarded as dreams."
"deprivation?"
Chen Lusi became even more curious.
Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi.
"can not say?"
Chen Lusi reacted.
But Xia Panqiu still didn't speak.
"Feel sorry."
Chen Lusi understood, smiled and apologized, and then said: "I'm also sorry about the rooftop matter... I shouldn't have said those words, especially calling you an idiot."
"...Wu You uses his heart's voice to guide what he expresses from his heart."
Xia Panqiu's face was tense, and after holding it in for a while, she forced herself to say this.
"But there are things that should be said and things that shouldn't be said."
Chen Lusi smiled and explained: "Don't we all live like this? For example, I just wanted to tell you directly that you are actually suitable for long hair and short skirts, and then I commented that your legs are slender and straight. You can try white silk.
What do you think?"
Xia Panqiu was stunned, then gritted her teeth and said, "...I'm sick."
"That's the truth. Even if it's from the heart, there are things that should be said and things that shouldn't be said, so I'm sorry."
"..."
Hearing this, Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi who lowered his head slightly, straightened his chest and took a deep breath.
Sorry.
Although what I was thinking was that you were an idiot, I shouldn't have said it.
To be continued...
