Shadow led Ye Qi through the characteristic old streets of Landingburgh, and stopped in front of an open-air café, and Shadow and Ye Qi walked straight into the alley next to the café at a distance of about six or seven yards, which was located in the center of Landingburgh, and even in such a small alley, it was full of all kinds of shops.

"This is where we agreed!"

About twenty yards away from the target, the shadow pointed to one of the shops without a trace, and said with his head half-bowed - there was a shop selling books and vinyl records, and in the window of the shop, a newly released hand-cranked gramophone was placed there, attracting the attention of passers-by; Especially when a piece of vinyl was put into it, the beautiful singing made people walk in the alley not far away.

"Under what circumstances will that Thousand-Faced Monster come to the appointment?"

Ye Qi nodded, and then, the whole person moved into the crowd unobtrusively, and at the same time, the sound reached the ears of the shadow with great accuracy—at this moment, just looking at his appearance, Ye Qi was completely like a pedestrian attracted by the records in the gramophone.

"As long as I eat at the open-air café before and leave the corresponding code word!"

The shadow obviously didn't know anything about vocal music, and the beautiful singing voice and rhythmic coordination made him feel a little irritated - the shadow who was born as a killer preferred to stay in a quiet place to sit and meditate or practice martial arts, even if it was to read a book, but any sound appeared. Whether it's noise or music. It's the same for shadows who prefer quiet. It just upsets him.

"So, Mr. Thousand Faces loves the food at that café before! Let's go, let's go there separately, and then, hopefully, the Mister Faces will arrive on time! With that, Ye Qi motioned for the shadow to leave first, and the shadow, who had already felt his irritability, received Ye Qi's instructions. Immediately turned around and walked towards the mouth of the alley.

But Ye Qi stood quietly in place, waited until all the vinyl records were broadcast, learned from the people around him, and let out a long breath - Ye Qi does not know much about music than ordinary people, he can only feel very simple whether it sounds good or not, as for the art and the author's intentions and the like, it has nothing to do with him; However, this does not prevent Ye Qi from following people who really understand to imitate.

Several people in front of the window, including Ye Qi, looked at each other and smiled after letting out a sigh. Then, some turned and left. And some walked directly to the store - this can be regarded as a kind greeting between like-minded people, and Ye Qi, who was mixed in the period, walked into the store under the friendly gaze of the few people who were left.

However, he was not prepared to pay for the vinyl record, as those few had guessed, but took the opportunity to look at the whole store—the whole store was divided into left and right sides in awe, with all kinds of books on one side, and a full of vinyl records and several gramophones sold at a price; It is very clean and tidy, and with this clear layout, the whole store gives people a comfortable feeling; At the very least, there weren't a few posters or an exaggerated banner to attract attention.

"What do you need, sir?"

The employees of the shop had apparently noticed the man who had entered the shop and had begun to look around—a decent dress, a calm bearing, and a beard that was not carefully groomed, but with a hint of the true charm of a mature man; Coupled with the friendly behavior between the other party outside the window and a few regular customers in the store, this employee immediately branded Ye Qi with a label of 'true art'.

After all, the people outside the shop window were not only regular customers of the store, but also well-known musicians and singers in Landingburg, as well as performers; The only people who can make these people show goodwill are naturally only those who really understand art, not some so-called followers.

"The previous record, give me one!"

Ye Qi said slowly-after looking around the shop for a long time, if he came out empty-handed, it would obviously cause unnecessary trouble; Whether generous or stingy, in the eyes of such employees, they are deeply memorable.

"Eighty-five, sir!"

The employee quickly took out the record he had played before and handed it to Ye Qi; Ye Qi took out ninety yuan and handed it to the other party, and gestured a gesture that he didn't need to look for - in such a store, a tip of five yuan would neither seem too much nor too little, it belonged to the kind that was just right.

"Thank you for your patronage!"

With a friendly smile on his face, the employee bowed and escorted Ye Qi out of the door.

will choose such a place to prove that Mr. Thousand Faces knows a certain amount of art, and has a certain artistic accomplishment.

Walking out of the store, looking at the situation of a few more customers entering behind him, Ye Qi thought silently - obviously if it is selected as a concealment, both the location and the flow of customers here are unqualified; Putting this aside, then it is undoubtedly from one's own hobbies or habits; Coupled with some of Shadow's descriptions of the Thousand Faces, the other party undoubtedly likes to read, sing, and play musical instruments.

However, out of caution, the agreed meeting place has been 'developed' in this way, so the exploration before the meeting will be extremely detailed!

And this kind of extremely meticulous investigation, which cannot be completed by one person; It will inevitably take some manpower......

With this idea, Ye Qi immediately turned around and walked out of the alley, and went straight into the open-air café - because there were still a few hours before the noon meal, there were not many people in the entire open-air café, most of them were tourists from other places and some business house owners who had quite assets to live a leisurely life.

However, in this group of people, Ye Qi found two stranger tourists - although they were dressed as tourists, their eyes did not have the excitement and joy of traveling, even if they looked around, but that kind of slightly serious expression. But it's more like a spy of the military and police than a tourist. And even a secret agent. It is also the most unqualified kind.

Amateur!

After Ye Qi gave such an evaluation, he picked an empty table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What does the gentleman need?"

The waiter walked up and asked.

"Give me a muffin and a cup of coffee!"

Ye Qi gave himself a menu according to the recipe of 'Finger'.

"Good sir!"

The waiter bowed away, and Ye Qi's gaze looked around again without a trace - he remembered the two very obvious 'tourists' in his heart; More attention is paid to distinguish the real stalkers of the other party; If you just use these two people, the other party is too bold, and it is simply a child's play with their own lives.

It's bait!

Ye Qi was very aware of the positioning of these two too obvious tourists, and what he was looking for was definitely not a bait, but a real stalker - Ye Qi, who put the record he had just bought on the table and held a cup of coffee, and then the coffee cup was blocked, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A beggar crouching in the street across the street from the café and a violinist not far from the beggar came into his field – because there were no tall buildings in Landingburg. As a result, there aren't many locations that can take in the entire café and the shop in the alley, except for a limited number of locations in the café itself. Only the beggar and the entertainer on the opposite side were in their place.

Among them, the position of Mr. Beggar is undoubtedly a little better; However, that kind of drunken appearance, the fluctuation of the same information that had already been reflected from the [Blind Fighting Perception], it was difficult for Ye Qi to believe that the other party was a stalker; And the performer who plays the violin, but rarely looks at the money box in front of him, and his eyes scan the café and alley from time to time, is undoubtedly much more likely.

But even if you connect to this amateur stalker, plus those two completely unqualified guys, will the Thousand Faces be relieved?

Ye Qi, who put down the coffee and picked up the muffin, asked himself; And the answer is undoubtedly yes - there must be a professional person around; However, there is no doubt that the existence of this profession is not so easy to discover; At the very least, after Ye Qi's muffins were half-eaten, no trace of the other party had been found.

At this time, sitting not far from Ye Qi's right hand, the shadow of the three tables had already gotten up to settle the bill; Without making any eye contact or making any gestures with Ye Qi, the shadow turned around and entered the alley next to him again, and began to wait for the appearance of the Thousand Faces - this was the agreement between him and Ye Qi before, as long as he left a secret message to tell the Thousand Faces when they would meet at the agreed place, and then go there and wait for the arrival of the Thousand Faces.

The rest is naturally handed over to Ye Qi!

And just as the shadow figure had barely turned into the alley, the violin seller on the opposite side ran over, looked through the menu on the table, and compared the rest of the food—the code of the shadow and the thousand faces, which was entirely composed of the price of the food, of course, was only the simplest part of time; If you add anything else, you need a professional password book as a basis.

"You guy, you're making trouble again!"

The waiter who came to gesture for the tableware couldn't help but shout when he saw the performer looking at the menu-Obviously, this is not the first time that the other party has done this, and this time it has undoubtedly touched the waiter's bottom line; Very unceremoniously, the waiter rolled up his sleeves and expelled the entertainer in front of him; However, it is very obvious that the entertainer did not fully record everything he needed, and stood still for a long time.

"Bastard!"

The act of the entertainer was naturally regarded as a provocation for the waiter, who was already angry, and he threw a punch at the other party with a low roar; And when the fist came in front of him, the showman had a little reaction, instinctively wanting to dodge; However, there is a lack of systematic training and corresponding actual combat; As an ordinary merchant, it is impossible for him to dodge this punch as smoothly as he imagined.

Bang!

In the muffled sound, the performer who was hit on the shoulder took a few steps back; Then, frowning at pain, he looked at the waiter in front of him, his face obviously flushed with anger; However, the entertainer was undoubtedly a man who kept his promise, and he glared at the waiter in front of him viciously, then ran back to his stall, gathered his things, and walked away quickly.

"Inexplicable fellow! Still a coward! ”

After punching. The waiter thought that a heads-up fight was inevitable. But the other party retreated. This made the waiter, who had just prepared, couldn't help but curse in a low voice; And this skirmish naturally attracted the interest of the people present, especially a few tourists who were good to do things, and asked the waiter loudly; Although Ye Qi also joined in, he had been locking the fluctuations of the entertainer through [Blind Fighting Perception].

When the other party was about to exceed the range of 100 yards of [Blind Fighting Perception] at this moment, Ye Qi checked out to the waiter who was still foaming at the mouth and introduced the previous artist, and chose to leave the open-air café and chase in the direction where the artist left - Ye Qi's tracking and search skills are not very good; However, on the premise of having [Blind Fighting Perception], if Ye Qi knew the fluctuation in advance. Then within the scope of [Blind Fighting Perception], Ye Qi is undoubtedly a top tracking expert.

Under normal conditions, the limit of [Blind Fighting Perception] is a range of one hundred yards, while Ye Qi basically uses a distance of eighty to ninety yards as the distance to track; At such a distance, not to mention an ordinary entertainer, even a good witcher cannot find it - after all, most of the time, people's best line of sight is always limited to forty yards, and once it is beyond this range, it will make it difficult to pursue the target because of the line of sight; Even if it's a trained existence. It's just about ten yards more than ten yards in this range.

Of course. If it is some famous sharpshooter or clairvoyant, this range can be increased, but it still does not exceed the range of about sixty yards; Once it exceeds this range, it needs considerable strength as support; However, even with such visual power, it is not so easy to find Ye Qi who is tracking, and the distance within a radius of one hundred yards is enough for Ye Qi to find a fairly safe tracking method without startling the snake.

In fact, such a method is simply too big to use against an ordinary entertainer!

After the entertainer turned into a hotel, the other party didn't notice Ye Qi's existence - in [Blind Fighting Perception], the other party obviously entered a room and had a conversation with someone who was already waiting in the room; When the entertainer came out again, the previous hurried face was replaced by the joy on his face, looking at the other party's bulging waist, it was not difficult to know that the other party had a satisfactory harvest.

About five minutes after the artist left, a man dressed like a foreign tourist, but with a sturdy pace and a sturdy body, appeared in Ye Qi's sight—the other party's fluctuations told Ye Qi that he was the one who came into contact with the artist; And the fluctuations that the other party reacted to were higher than ordinary people, coupled with the way the other party behaved, undoubtedly explained the identity of the other party: dark mercenary.

The one on his body with the unique fluctuations of magic props was enough for Ye Qi to distinguish it carefully.

The dark mercenary obviously had a more mature route than the entertainer and the means to prevent being followed, and after changing two cars in a row, and repeatedly entering several pedestrian streets with the most people in Landingburgh, the dark mercenary embarked on a more accurate route - the other party's destination was close to the outskirts of Landingburgh, not far behind the remnants of the old city gate of Landingburgh, this one stopped, stood in front of a house on the side of the road, and waited quietly.

And Ye Qi also followed the other party and waited patiently for the appearance of the thousand-faced monster; However, as time passed, Ye Qi's brows furrowed involuntarily - according to the code given by the shadow, the time they agreed on was twelve o'clock at noon, and at this moment it was only less than half an hour away from this time, even if the Thousand Faces Monster set off from here, it would be impossible to get it at the appointed time.

It's been discovered!

This was Ye Qi's most direct thought at the moment, and the next moment he saw the dark mercenary he had followed all the way suddenly return the same way with a relaxed face, which proved his guess; Almost without any hesitation, Ye Qi ran towards the shop he had first visited.

When he walked into the shop, the same store employee who had asked him about it immediately walked up—

"Welcome back!"

The employee smiled professionally and bowed slightly, took out a vinyl record, and handed it to him: "This is left to you by a friend of yours, and he has paid enough money to rent a listening room for you, where you can try out this record, according to your friend's words, this is the record you have been waiting for a long time!" ”

After nodding, Ye Qi followed the employee and walked to the inner hall of the store - with the introduction of the enthusiastic employee, Ye Qi went straight into one of the listening rooms, and after closing the reinforced soundproof door, Ye Qi immediately put the vinyl record on the gramophone in the room.

"Mr. Finger, the first time I spoke to you, it was in this way! I'm so embarrassed......"

With a hint of apology that could not be distinguished from the false, as the vinyl record turned, came out of the gramophone.
