Tavern.

Alice drank her wine, looked at the barkeeper, and picked up the topic: "Chino Van Helsing?" I don't think I've heard the name. ”

The boss sighed and said: "It's really not very famous, I heard that he used to be the civil affairs officer of Xilin Town, and he was unknown until after the invasion of the horse bandits." ”

Alice pretended to be curious: "Have you seen him?" ”

The boss said proudly: "Of course I have seen it, and when he entered the city, I was also one of the people who greeted him." ”

Alice tilted her head thoughtfully: "He can annihilate so many horse bandits in one fell swoop, I guess, he must be a burly man!" ”

The boss showed a smug expression and said with a smile: "I thought so at first, but it wasn't until I met Executive Chino himself that I realized how short-sighted I was. Administrator Chino is not only not burly, but is very petite, well... Think about it... Probably right up to my chest. ”

The boss stood up and gestured, he didn't notice that Alice's eyes were drifting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The boss sat down and took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "Seriously, he is so beautiful that if he is not careful, he will even mistake him for a girl." His eyes, in particular, are simply as beautiful as jewels! ”

Alice's breathing became unusually disordered, and her voice began to tremble: "His eyes... What color? ”

The boss didn't hesitate: "Amber." ”

"That's !! him" Alice had lost her voice telepathically, "Durang! I'm leaving Twilight now! ”

Du Lang hurriedly said, "Wait! Don't make your own decisions! Calm down first, what about him? We have B-class reincarnation camouflage on us, and we're very safe now. ”

Alice's face turned pale, like a string that was taut to the limit, and it would break at any moment: "No, I've been exposed!" He knows we're coming! ”

Du Lang was silent for a few seconds, probably confirming the situation of the reincarnation disguise, and quickly said: "The B-level reincarnation disguise is still in effect, and we have not exposed it." ”

"You believe me! We are exposed! You must believe me in this matter! ”

"Then you say, why is it exposed?"

"I don't know," Alice clenched into her fists, beads of sweat on her forehead, "I don't know what he did, but I'll tell you now very clearly that we're exposed!" Don't ask why, I know how terrible this man is, he must have learned about me somehow, definitely! Certain! Certain! ”

Durang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to trust Alice's judgment, and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, you can't evacuate Twilight City, otherwise our disguise will be in vain." ”

"What do you mean?" Alice was puzzled.

Durang explained, "Assuming you're right, Chino somehow recognized you and knew that the reincarnation team was coming. If you choose to flee at this point, he will know that we have analyzed the situation and will immediately start thinking of the next strategy, and we will not know anything about it, and the situation will become very passive.

"But if you stay in Twilight and pretend to be nothing, he won't know that we know he's coming, understand?"

The matryoshka rhetoric made Alice stunned for a long time, and then she clarified the logic of this sentence and hummed softly.

Dulang continued: "At worst, the 'camouflage effect' of B-class reincarnation camouflage is dead in name, but it still makes sense – to put us in control. Chino only knows you, not the rest of us, our team is still in the dark, he is in the light, this is our advantage! ”

Alice subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I advise you not to underestimate this madman..."

Duran: "Crazy? ”

"Yes, this man is a madman." Alice seemed to remember something terrible, and her lips lost their blood, "Do you know how I died?" In that fast machining task, the organization asked me to cooperate with him. When we arrived at our destination, he gave me a piece of chewing gum, and because I didn't say 'thank you' after taking it, he broke my hands and feet, threw me into the basement, and then found a meat grinder, and started to twist these non-lethal parts of my limbs, and strangled me for more than half an hour! He's wringing and humming that damn Beethoven's music! ”

Du Lang: "It only shows that he has mental problems. ”

Alice: "No, you're not in our industry, so you haven't heard of the Smiling Devil and don't know how scary he is. I have to admit that you are indeed very smart, a top student at Yale University, who received a PhD degree in physics at the age of 15. But I'll give you a word of advice, you're dealing with a being that's smarter and crazier than you! ”

Du Lang's voice was silent for half a minute, as if he was thinking, and then said in a deep voice: "I will also tell you one thing, except for cancer, I have never lost, and I will not lose, not before, not now, and not in the future!" ”

Alice said quietly: "You better not lose, all of our lives are in your hands." ”

Du Lang's voice was full of confidence and determination: "Don't worry, just leave it to me, just like the previous task." And I have a condition, from now on, you must obey me unconditionally, you can ask questions, you can give advice, but you are not allowed to question. Thou shalt obey all my commands, even if I tell you to stab thyself in the heart now, it must be meaningful, and thou shalt do it. ”

"Got it..."

"You don't need to worry now, even if Chino recognizes you, he will never do it lightly, because he doesn't know the location of the other reincarnators. You continue to spy on the intelligence, close to the boss, you have been hanging him for too long. ”

Alice came back to her senses, and the boss sat there awkwardly, he had just said a lot, but Alice didn't respond, he thought he had talked awkwardly.

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted." After drinking the wine in the glass, Alice subconsciously glanced at her trembling hand, moved it under the table and hid it, and asked with a smile, "Can I ask for another glass?" Twilight was colder than I thought it would be, and I wanted to warm up. ”

"Of course!" The boss walked to the back kitchen and brought back a glass of hot ginger wine after a while, "Ginger is freshly ground, this cup can warm you all night." ”

Du Lang: "Ask how you can get close to Chino, ask tactfully, don't be too direct." ”

Alice tucked her hair behind her ears, peeked at the boss, and asked a little wryly, "You just said that the administrator of Chino is very beautiful, and I... What chance will I have to get a glimpse of his honor? ”

The boss showed a "I understand" smile: "It's weird to say, the little girls nowadays seem to like beautiful boys, and we rough men have no one to care about, hahaha... But unfortunately, unless the administrator is out one day, it's hard to see him... Or..."

Without reminding, Alice asked, "Or?" ”

The boss shrugged, "If you're going to settle in Twilight City for a long time and happen to be looking for a job, you can go to the government mansion and apply for a maid." The new administrator loves cleanliness, and it turns out that there are not enough people in the house, so he is expanding his recruitment, not only with food and housing, but also with a good salary. ”

Alice said in the psionic network: "This is a good opportunity, but it's a pity that he and I know each other and can't apply, otherwise I will be caught in the net." ”

"You don't have to worry about these things, I have my own plans." Du Lang thought for a while and said, "I've asked enough questions today, and it's easy to be suspicious if I continue to ask, so let's find a place to live first, I'm going to sort out my thoughts and continue to contact you tomorrow." ”

Alice pretended to be a little drunk, put the back of her hand against her little face, and said dizzily, "Oh, alas, I don't like that kind of subservient work." Belch... Hmm, I've drunk too much, is there a place to stay near here? ”

The owner said warmly: "Our tavern is also a hotel, there are many rooms, clean and affordable, if you stay with us, you will be given a 5% discount." ”

Du Lang: "It's a good place to be here, the tavern is mixed and well-informed. ”

Alice smiled and said, "Okay, then stay here and find me a room with the biggest bed." ”

"No problem~"
