"It's so cold!"
Ning Xin felt the chill and she couldn't help but shiver. She crossed her arms and cursed at the guy who had transferred her to the Combat Division.
He didn't know how to take care of women at all!
Ning Xin's voice caused Old Zhang to pause for a moment. Just as he was about to open the door again, the captain who was at the side, with a cigarette in his mouth, said with a cold sweat,"
"Old Zhang, he just came out of the house and you still want to go in to check. Aren't you suspecting this little brother?”
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment. Then, he walked to the door without saying a word and said softly,"No problem."
Then, Old Zhang turned to Lu Yu and said,"
"I'm sorry!"
He was not a man of words, but he had indeed made a mistake. After all, Lu Yu had just come out of the house. If he went in to check again, he would be suspicious of him.
"It's alright."
Lu Yu waved his hand. He did not expect the other party to be so polite. After all, the other party was an Awakened. If he could apologize to an ordinary person, it meant that he had a good personality.
However, it was better if there was no conflict. Unless the secret was exposed, Lu Yu did not want to kill.
The captain nodded and said,"Then let's go to the next one. There are still several buildings to check!”
With that, the captain turned around and left. Ning Xin, who was at the side, cast a few reluctant glances at Lu Yu's handsome face, waved goodbye and followed after him.
Lu Yu looked at her leaving figure with some pity. This girl was really interesting. If he had not been interrupted by the captain just now, he would have obtained a lot of useful information!
However, Lu Yu did not mind. He yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.
As for the trio from the Department of Mysteries, they continued walking forward. When they reached a corner, Ning Xin said apologetically to the team leader,"
"Sorry Captain, I'm talkative again. I definitely won't do it again!”
The captain glanced at her and said,"Then I guess you'll have to sew your mouth shut to stop talking nonsense!"”
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Ning Xin retorted loudly, but when she looked at the captain, she lost her confidence and her eyes turned to change the topic,"
"Captain, is there really an ancient existence in this city that has revived?”
The captain glanced at her, then looked around the corridor and saw that no one had appeared. Then, he said indifferently,
"Whether or not you have it, you still have to do what you should do. Don't think about slacking off.”
Ning Xin's face turned red but it quickly disappeared as she retorted,"
"I'm not slacking off. I just want to understand the mission better so that I can complete the mission more efficiently.”
"Then go home and play games, right? When your dad came, he told me to let you see the cruelty of the world more and not play games all day.”
The captain had seen through her teammate's thoughts with a single glance and Ning Xin was speechless. She rolled her eyes and said,"
"Captain, don't be like my dad, that old-fashioned guy. I don't think playing games is a bad thing. It's just like smoking. It's a hobby.”
The captain took out a piece of gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth to refuse. He said indifferently,
"As long as you complete the mission, I don't care about your interests. Also, don't leak the secret again, or you'll be punished.”
If it was possible, the captain really did not want to bring a woman along. Not only did he dawdle and make a fuss, but sometimes he would also cause trouble when he panicked!
" Isn't it because that guy is handsome, so we chatted a little more…"
Ning Xin's voice became softer as she looked at the disdainful expressions of the two captains and quickly changed the topic,"
"Let's discuss how to find that ancient existence first.”
After the captain blew the bubble, he chewed and complained,
" Do you think ancient existences are cabbages? That kind of existence has already transcended the passage of time and has terrifying power that we can't imagine. Moreover, the higher-ups only said that the other party was holding a yellow balloon and wearing a mask. They're asking us to look for a needle in a haystack.”
Ning Xin nodded her head thoughtfully and asked curiously,"
"In other words, do we need to look for clues from the balloon?”
"Wrong!"
The captain looked at Ning Xin's puzzled face and said slowly: "
"We only need to deal with the affected residents. As for this mission, let fate take its course. If there are any clues, report them.”
"Why? Isn't this our mission?”
Ning Xin stood rooted to the ground, not understanding why the Captain was so perfunctory about this mission.
The captain took a deep breath and slowly blew out a smoke ring. He glanced at the puzzled Ning Xin and said in a roguish tone,"
"Don't you know how to slack off and laze around? Occasionally, you'll report a work-related injury to get some subsidies. Isn't this life beautiful? There was no need to do so much work. Even if they found out, there was not much benefit. It was better to pack up early and go back to sleep.”
"Old fox!"
Ning Xin rolled her eyes, but she did not deny the other party's point of view. He also wanted to go home early to get some beauty sleep, so he quickly followed after her.
The captain walked in front and looked at the dark night sky through the corridor. The roguish expression on his face disappeared and he said silently in his heart,
" Because I don't want anyone else to die…"
How could an ancient existence be so easy to spy on? Even if the other party had no ill intentions towards humans, taking the initiative to spy on them would also attract disaster and misfortune!
His former companions all met with misfortune because of this, leaving him alone to survive.
It was not because he was powerful, but because he had something to do and had to leave. This feeling of being powerless was something that others could not understand.
Old Zhang, who was at the side, knew about the captain's past, but he was still curious. He whispered softly,
" An ancient existence holding a balloon. What does it represent? The sky, the air, or the moon…"
He believed that there must be a deeper meaning behind the other party holding the balloon, but he still could not understand it. He believed that as long as he kept flipping through the ancient books, he would definitely be able to discover the other party's identity.
Unfortunately, he probably couldn't figure it out until he died. The other party took the balloon because the balloon was stronger than him. Everything was done by the balloon. The entire plot was made up by them!
Thus, the three of them continued to carry out their tasks.
As for Lu Yu, the culprit, he was lying in his room sleeping. He did not know that the mysterious strong identity he had fabricated had been upgraded into an unknown ancient existence with authority because of the balloon.
