Chapter 3 Clues

"Okay, I'm sorry...I admit to being too arrogant again this time."

In the room at the Mercenary Exchange Center, Zhao Jie bent down sincerely to apologize.

"I just don't understand. Since I have told you about the ability of the female ghost, other time travelers have already investigated, why do you still have to test it yourself?" Jerami expressed his confusion about this.

Zhao Jie shrugged and said, "There's no way. If I'm not sure about her true abilities, I'm afraid I can't feel at ease. After all, time travelers are hostile. If they say less or say something wrong to mislead us, then will we be unlucky next time we meet that female ghost?"

The little loli put his hand on the table and supported his head and asked, "Sister, do you have a complete grasp of that female ghost's true ability?"

"I can only have a rough understanding..." Zhao Jie thought for a while and said, "After all, I haven't forced that female ghost to a dead end yet. A monster of a boss level like this should have the final trick."

"It's probably great to know about it. We spent two hours with a group of fools at night." Zhan Gui said depressedly.

Zhao Jie looked at Jeramy: "Have you found anything?"

Jerami nodded and said, "These time travelers are also incompatible with each other. The doom Statham and the vampire Vladimir are allies... Or Mommy and Magneto are allies, and they don't like each other with Song Luan under the command of the sword god, which should be because there is a gap. In addition, the Shadow Fist Akali is also somewhat inconsistent with the new star Zhao Jun of Frost. Perhaps this is just visible from the side that there are alliances and hostilities between the Nine Sons of the Tianlong, and between the Nine Sons of the Tianlong and the Abyss troops. The only one who can speak in the entire team is Ling Heng. It can be seen that everyone is very afraid of the Fire God, so no one is willing to go against Ling Heng. This is why only he can summon all the time travelers together to act."

"What about the other time travelers?"

"They?" Jeramy curled his lips and said, "They were just some passers-by and time travelers who happened to join the main line. Although their strength seemed to be good, they basically depended on their own under the various 'thighs' and became their lackeys, so they can be ignored."

"I understand," Zhao Jie nodded and said, "What are their attitudes towards you?"

"The attitude is still a bit ambiguous." The little loli showed two big dimples and smiled: "These so-called elites should all think that we will take out the strongest people as the storefront, but in fact the team is both old, weak, and women and children. So except for a few guys who respect the uncles, the rest of the people did not pay much attention to us."

"I think this is a good thing. Their neglect gave us enough time to complete the task. Maybe when they discovered our strength, we had already returned with treasures." Jerami pressed the temples in his ears behind him and looked at Zhao Jie with a charming look.

Zhao Jie smiled bitterly and said, "We can't hide it for too long. I haven't told you before that on the way back, we met the Ming Dynasty Qingyue who has the ability of Yagami. In order to come back quickly to heal my injuries, Leona has released her pseudo-domain. I believe that the gunman under the command of the Vulcan God will be recruited soon."

"Does he want to avenge that little girl?" Zhan Gui showed two rows of white teeth excitedly.

"He comes back to win us over." The smile on Jerami's face disappeared, and he showed a sad look: "Although everyone gives him face, he is the most isolated and helpless. I just heard Raphael say that Vulcan does not allow his subordinates to recruit followers without authorization, so Ling Heng only has the "Beautiful Girl Team" for him to drive in this main mission, and even the others are Akali or Zhao Jun, they each have several Time Traveler teams."

"If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Now we seem to be safe in the Mercenary Exchange Center, but in fact we are in the whirlpool of struggle. The building is full of time travelers, which means that the eyeliner of major elites is everywhere. If he comes to us, the purpose of his coming will not be long before... Our idea of ​​completing the task in a low-key manner will be shattered." The little loli also looked depressed.

Zhao Jie smiled and said something was about to say, when he suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell, and then laughed and said, "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here."

Without opening the door, Zhao Jie could also see Ling Heng and Ming Jianli, both of me through the reconnaissance guards placed in the corridor by him... This is also the reason why he could find that Ming Jian Qingyue had been following him. This man has a very good habit of inserting his eyes wherever he goes and taking insight into the surrounding situation at any time.

Zhan Gui walked to the door and opened the door, facing Ling Heng with a cold face outside the door, said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Ling Heng, a man, should be a very handsome one among yellow people, especially his hooked nose and thin lips, which look very much like the Chinese movie star Andy Lau. Just a glance will make people feel good. Seeing that the war ghost opened the door, he immediately smiled kindly and said, "Can I find Captain Xiubit?"

The war ghost placed his body in front of the door and said without any hesitation: "Our captain is injured, so it's the same to tell me if you have something to do."

"This..." Ling Heng hesitated a little, not that he looked down on War Ghost, but this kind of thing involved the joint of the two teams. It seemed a bit inappropriate to talk to War Ghost, the non-captain.

After thinking about it, Ling Heng said in a humble and arrogant manner: "That's right. I want to talk to your captain about some clues about this mission. I heard that he is a very smart person. I hope he can find the answer to the question from the clues I got."

He said this, the War Ghost was in a dilemma. If Ling Heng directly proposed the two teams to join forces or asked the American girl team to support him in such a thing, the War Ghost would definitely bring the sect pia to his face with the door frame, but if he said this, the War Ghost would be unable to make up his mind.

Zhao Jie, who was sitting on the sofa, naturally heard Ling Heng's words and said lightly: "War ghosts, let Mr. Ling Heng come in."

At this moment, the injuries on his body had been cured by Xiuslan. Although his face was still a little pale, he was basically fine.

Ling Heng heard Zhao Jie's words and smiled at the battle ghost and walked into the room. In fact, he felt a little unhappy. After all, as the subordinate of the God of Fire, he was called by someone "adults" and "adults" wherever he went. Many times he wanted to cooperate with others, and he just looked at him, and others would come up to ask for his help (this is also the cleverness of many time travelers under the God of Fire. If he only talks about cooperation and does not talk about driving, he will not be punished by the God of Fire for attracting followers). But now he came to the door on his own initiative, but after taking such a soft nail, he naturally felt unhappy.

However, this man is also a scheming person. After entering the room, he did not express his thoughts. Instead, he clasped his fists at Zhao Jie and said, "Captain Xiubit, I'm sorry that Qingyue is determined to stop you. But since she has suffered a loss, can you ask Captain Zhao Jie to forgive her for my own brother?"

Zhao Jie was stunned. This man was indeed amazing. He went as far as he was concerned, but he was offered the same kind of ancestor as his ancestors. However, he was able to sincerely... or apologize sincerely on the surface, and also expressed his brother-sister relationship. Although he also had the intention of using the power to suppress others, the steps were indeed set up for Zhao Jie. With just one word of his words, the grudges between both sides would be eliminated.

Although I really want to say, "It's okay, we almost scared the little girl to pee her pants before. I think I'll forgive her this time. I'll support the scene and then go down, but the problem is that once we agree to reconcile with Ming Jianli, how can we refuse if Ling Heng proposes cooperation?

Zhao Jie thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a way to refuse, but the little loli said first: "Actually, that woman didn't treat my sister, we didn't have any grudges, so we should reconcile, just want to ask, which team should use the name of the Beauty* Girl Team?"

As soon as she said that, Ling Heng and Ming Jianli looked a little bad on my face, especially Ming Jianli, who almost wrote four words on my face.

Ling Heng's reaction was obviously one step away from me. Before she spoke, she reached out and waved her hand and said, "Hey (second voice) Miss Xiao said, the name of the time traveler team was originally a code name, but my sister and the others were too serious. In fact, it was nothing if everyone called this name."

The little loli smiled and waved her index finger: "This is wrong. It was their people who said it first. If two teams of time travelers with the same name meet each other and don't want to fight to the death, then there is only one way, which is to change the name of one of the teams."

Ling Heng was stunned and immediately understood the implicit meaning of the little loli's words. He believed that Ming Jianli, I must have thought of this, but the problem was that although she could think of this as a trap for the little loli, could she really not jump in?

"Bad bastards, you are still behaved when you get a bargain, right? Although there is no one in our team who can understand the pseudo-field, if you fight with it, you may not be the opponent of the rest of us." Ming Jianli shouted loudly.

(really……)

Ling Heng held his forehead helplessly, and Jeramy and Zhao Jie next to the little loli also laughed.

This little girl is so smart that she actually used this incident to choke Ling Heng's words back into her stomach.

"Since that's the case, let's despise it. Of course, you are the subordinates of Lord Vulcan, but we have no thighs to hold. Although we can easily destroy you, Vulcan will never let us go. So why not let's fight a lot of wits. Whoever starts the whole main mission first, even if anyone wins, the failed person must willingly change the name of the team." The little loli smiled sly, like a little cat who stole a fish.

"That's all." Ming Jianli's gritting teeth drowned her neutral temperament, and instead showed strange cuteness.

"Hmph" Ming Jianli and I snorted coldly at the same time. The former turned around and left, while the latter turned around and quietly made a ok gesture to Zhao Jie.

"Oh," Ling Heng sighed helplessly and said, "Captain Xiubit... Forget it, although you have a competitive relationship with the team that is free from me, after all, our goal is to complete this mission, so..."

He took out a piece of printing paper and put it on the coffee table and said, "This is all the information I have obtained. Although there may be information in the hands of others that I do not have, there are some exclusive information in my information."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Zhao Jie smiled and signaled Xiuslan to put away the printing paper and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Ling Heng considered a foe?"

"To be honest, I'm really tired of this ghost place." Ling Heng said seriously: "So no matter who finds a way to end this battle, I will be very happy. Say goodbye."

In the corridor, Ling Heng whispered to Ming Jianli me: "Ghost girl, a person who is usually very smart, why can't hesitate so much this time? Do you know how helpful a strong man who masters the power of the pseudo-domain is to us?"

The angry expression on Ming Jianli's face had disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Brother, haven't you seen it yet? That woman didn't plan to cooperate with us at all, so that little girl came up with such a bad way to provoke her."

"Oh, it seems that this matter will depend on our own strength in the end..." Ling Heng sighed.

"Brother Stupid, it doesn't matter whether we cooperate with them. If that woman is really smart enough to allow her seventh-level time traveler to accumulate thousands of attributes, then this puzzle that is almost unsolvable for us may not be able to stump her, let alone if she is not sure, how could she refuse our alliance?"

"You mean..."

Ming Jianli showed a complicated look in my eyes: "Brother, I think the smartest thing you have done is to give him all the information we have. Although I didn't feel it before, now I think that her subordinates can understand the pseudo-domain for thousands of attributes, and he may not have no pseudo-domain... Such a person is only at the seventh level, and his mission is completed so much. This woman is probably the most terrifying and wise person we have ever seen. She should be able to solve this puzzle."

"The obliterated memory interferes with my mind."

On the other hand, Zhao Jie threw the paper on the bed and said lightly: "It can be confirmed that after entering Carl Xilan, some of the things in our minds have been erased. This should be done by the mission publisher to hide some things. Although it is impossible to judge the reason for his doing so, it can be predicted that the erased memories must be related to the two female ghosts this time... Movie, who have you ever seen a movie about female ghosts?"

"Movie?" The little loli's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed: "It seemed that I had thought of something just now, but I couldn't find it right away."

"Me too," said Jeramy: "The two words of movie, female ghost, are connected together, which makes me feel strange. This feeling is both familiar and unfamiliar, but I just can't catch it."

"I never watch movies," Leona said. "The only leisure activity I have when I come back on the battlefield is playing games."

"Although I have watched some, I rarely watch ghost movies." Zhan Guidao.

Xiuslan shrugged, "No."

Zhao Jie nodded and said, "So, the fragments about this part in our memory have indeed been erased, and more importantly, whenever I think of something related to these, I can't remember them immediately. I think this is why other time travelers have not found the answers to the prompts so far...the thoughts are disturbed."

"Then what can we do now?" The War Ghost once again acted as the doll in "Hundred Thousand Whys".

"No……"

"I haven't thought of any information that can unlock the prompts so far." Zhao Jie said helplessly.

For the first time, he felt so powerless.

"You all go back and rest, I want to be alone and quiet."

Zhao Jie rarely said such words. Everyone, including Little Loli, looked at each other and left the room.

Zhao Jie walked to the bar and poured himself a glass of red wine, closed the bedroom waiting, walked to the swivel chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down, holding the wine glass and looking at the bright moon in the sky. This feeling of powerlessness became heavier and heavier.

Haoyue didn't seem to want Zhao Jie to be so depressed. The bright moonlight hit Zhao Jie through the floor-to-ceiling window, covering his body.

"What does the Ancient Moon... mean? It seems that I really have to go to the library tomorrow. But when I see the miserable situation of the museum, I hardly dare to imagine what the library was ruined."

Zhao Jie said to himself gentlely to the moonlight.

The moon's light still seemed to have no intention of talking to Zhao Jie.

"Haha, you look bored too." Zhao Jie turned his goblet and laughed out loud: "Maybe you are laughing at my stupidity, right? Forgive yourself and feel sorry for yourself."

"But why didn't I feel lonely at this time?"

He looked back at the long shadow that was pulled, raised his goblet and pointed it at the moon, "Maybe it's because of that poem? I'll raise my glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows are three, it seems..."

Looking at the moon through the goblet, the moon seemed to be a little red under the cover of red wine, but Zhao Jie's movements were frozen on the spot.

Suddenly, the man opened the glass door in front of him like crazy and rushed to the balcony, stretched out the wine glass in his hand far away and looked down at the glass.

In the wine glass, the red wine reflects the moon and moves slightly with the light waves.

"So that's what it means? The ancient moon does not look like a moon or an antique symbolizing the moon, but a moon reflected by liquid in a carrier made of antiques?" Zhao Jie looked at the moon in the cup and couldn't help laughing.

.........

"What? You still have to go to the museum? I don't agree." Jeramy firmly denied Zhao Jie's words.

"And, it's already daytime now. Even if that female ghost is still lingering in the library, it's impossible for her to be so rampant, right?" Zhao Jie comforted.

"That won't work. Your injury hasn't healed yet. If you really want to go, let me and Leona go together."

Zhao Jie smiled and said, "That won't work. I have another task to you."

"I want you to go to the library with War Ghost and Xiaofan to check out the records of supernatural phenomena that have occurred in this city, as well as the well-known lakes and antique cups and basins of this city. This matter requires careful observation, so you and Xiaofan must do it together."

"Don't worry, this time, I'm here." Xiuslan said to Jeramy behind Zhao Jie.

Whenever, this man will follow Zhao Jie's actions without hesitation.

Jeramy looked at Zhao Jie seriously and finally sighed: "Okay, but the Knight of the King..."

"The Knight of the King follows you this time. After all, no one can guarantee that there are no evil ghosts in the museum. Don't worry, whether it is my sun grass, Xiuslan's sacred ability, and Leona's hell flame can effectively cause damage to the soul body, so you should be more cautious." Zhao Jie smiled.

So, on the second day after arriving in Karceland, the American women's team once again, but this time the two teams will no longer be able to support each other because the distance between the museum and the library is 20 kilometers apart. The only thing that is thankful is that although the sky outside is still covered by black clouds, according to Ling Heng's information, ghosts will not appear even in the dim daytime.

When Zhao Jie and the other two left the mercenary exchange center again, all the elites received news. Zhao Jie was right. Ling Heng's visit last night was already seen by everyone. Of course, Ling Heng was blocked by the war ghost and did not look angry. Eventually, some people even said that Ling Heng knelt outside Zhao Jie's door for three hours before he was received by Zhao Jie.

Of course, several elites would not believe this kind of rumor, but Ling Heng attached great importance to Zhao Jie's affairs and they still believed it. So this time Zhao Jie and others went on a trip, each elite sent one or several beautiful women teams who secretly followed the division.
To be continued...
