Chapter 131 Familiar Strangers
The follow-up incident was resolved because Ilia brought Shuli into the Rainbow Theatre.
After entering the troupe, Xiuli had the opportunity to get in touch with her dreams directly. Iriya, who temporarily brought Xiuli back to live, also had a free labor to help him clean up the room. Everyone was happy.
After the incident was resolved, Shuri was cleaned by Iriya and Lixia, and after changing into clean clothes, he could finally see his appearance clearly.
Although he is still young and has not yet opened his figure, his pretty little face looks much more pleasing than his previous dirty look.
Ilia forced Xiuli to return to the Rainbow Theater, who was still a little disgusted, and Lixia stayed to complete the final task order with Ryan.
Ryan and Lixia took advantage of this rare rest time to stroll to East Street. Along the way, the two of them used voice transmission to exchange some latest information.
“d∴g sect?”
Lixia showed a surprised expression on her face, "I heard from my father when I was in the Republic. He said that he was an absolute evil heretic, but weren't they completely destroyed in the multinational cooperative extermination war 6 years ago?"
Ryan frowned and nodded, "I originally thought so, but Joshua's speculation is not groundless. Combined with my recent discoveries, I even began to doubt whether the original origin of the Order was in this Closebell Autonomous Prefecture."
"How could it be..."
Lisha asked in disbelief, "According to the information you provided, the D∴g Clan has a history of more than 500 years. The Closebell Autonomous Prefecture has only been established for 70 years. What do you mean?... Did they take root here since the dark age of the Middle Ages?"
"Um."
Ryan explained with a serious expression, "Closebel has been a place of war since ancient times. He has changed the sect leader five times in the past 500 years. For those who have ill-behaved, this place beyond the law should be the best place to hide."
"Think about the Stars Tower we have been to before. The strange activity of the upper three attributes in the tower is obviously abnormal. I have seen this situation before in Erebonia. Usually, there is nothing good about this local alienation."
"I guess... the Order should have some connection with the alchemist who once lived in Closebell, but there is still a lack of evidence to verify it."
"It's not only the Tower of Stars, but also the Sun Fortress on the ancient battlefield, I can also feel a similar aura. I haven't had time to check the Moon Monastery, but according to the three names of Sun, Moon and Star... there is probably some connection."
"Sun, Moon and Star..." Lixia held her chin and showed a thoughtful expression. "Some ancient books in the Tower of Stars are recorded. Alchemists like to use these three names when observing astrological signs. You said this to me a little creepy..."
"Ha~ don't be so nervous."
During the conversation, the two had already walked to the door of the Guerrilla Association. Ryan gently held Lixia's hand and said gently, "After I'm busy with the founding anniversary, I'll go to the Monk Monastery to investigate. If you can take time out then, go with me."
"Well~" Lixia also showed a gentle smile on her face. "Golden Sun, Silver Moon's rehearsal is already very skilled. It should be relatively relaxed after the celebration. Choose the time to tell me, and I also want to figure out the truth hidden in the dark on this land."
At this time, a helpless and bold voice came from the gate of the association, "Two, can you stop placing flash bullets at the gate of the association... I will drive people away if I affect the visiting guests."
"ah!"
Lixia hurriedly let go of Ryan's hand, her cheeks flushed and she tidied up her hair in a panic, bowed slightly to salute Michelle who was walking out of the door.
"Hello, Mr. Michelle, I'll deliver the previous commission. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Where is it~" Michelle closed his right eye, waved with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Lian will ask you to take care of him in the future, no matter which aspect it is~"
Ryan pushed Michelle in anger, "Go in. After this task is completed, there should be other things to do. Don't stand silly at the door."
After the task of following the prisoner, Lisha quickly ran away with a red face as Michelle joked. The other tasks for the next half day were relatively ordinary, and most of them could be completed by running errands in the city.
However... in the afternoon, Ryan was preparing to return to the association to deliver the last task and accidentally discovered an "acquaintance" on East Street.
An old lady who was marching like a flying woman was rushing towards him from outside the East Gate, and she shouted loudly along the way, "The fool in front! If you don't want to be knocked away, get out of here!"
"Um?"
Ryan frowned and looked at the old lady. Although the other party changed a lot after putting on makeup and disguising on her face, based on her loud shouts and extraordinary running speed... Ryan remembered a smuggler incident he encountered when he first came from Zhizhou.
As the old lady passed by Ryan, he smiled and stretched out his feet to stir up the road that the other party must pass. The old lady who was charging forward suddenly rushed forward and turned into a rolling gourd.
"Ouch! You... a little brat! What have you done!!"
Ryan looked at the smuggler who was struggling to get up in surprise, "Oh, are you quite energetic? Old lady, your body is really tough."
"Stop! Don't run!"
At this time, the shouts from outside the East Gate came again, and the four-member team of support departments led by Royd were rushing in from outside the door panting.
“Ha~ha~”
Royd and others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old lady falling to the ground. The four of them stopped in front of Ryan and gasped.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of other tourists on the East Street. An oriental beauty with long black shawl hair in the crowd was looking at Ryan with interest.
‘Haha~ Did that little guy grow up to this point? Time is really unforgivable.’
"Huh?" Rann frowned and looked around, but the person who was secretly observing him was very alert. Rann could not find out anything through his breath.
"Is it an illusion?"
At this time, Royd finally adjusted his breathing. He walked up to Ryan and said thankfully, "Ryan, thank you for your help, otherwise this fake businessman would have a high chance of escaping our pursuit."
"Fake it... OK, have you changed your identity this time?"
Ryan looked at the old lady who was pressed by the sheathed knife and could not get up. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "No need to thank me, I just happened to pass by, and it was not the first time I met this old lady, so I made up for the regret last time."
When Randy and Royd set up the old lady who was still cursing, Ryan walked up to Tio and patted Maoluo's head, "Teo, you probably have no other tasks next?"
Ellie looked through her search notebook and nodded to Teo with a smile. "It's true that there is no more, and then it's Teo's private time. I heard that she is going to help Jonah."
"It's just right! My mission today has just ended."
Ryan picked up Teo and put it on his broad shoulders. "Let me go with you for the task of that yellow-haired devil. I also want to see how you two catch the kitten."
The petite Tio sat steadily on Ryan's right shoulder. The tourists around her were shy with various meanings. She twisted Ryan's ears and accused unhappily, "You still treat me as a child... I am already 14 years old!"
Ryan, who was twisted by his ears, grinned with a grin, "It hurts! Isn't 14 still a child? Isn't it that the Semlia continent is 16 years old? Isn't it considered an adult?"
