Please ask the dream.

Chapter 66 Orchard (New Year's Eve!)
Because he was not sure about the exact time of yesterday's class, Feng Xue arrived near the airport early. As the only means of transportation from the base to the outside world, it seemed a bit deserted here.

Feng Xue stayed at the airport for nearly two hours, and only seven or eight people passed by. There was a clear difference in their ages, the oldest was in his thirties or forties, and the youngest was fourteen or fifteen. Some were mediocre, while others were very talented. But no matter what, each of them gave Feng Xue a sense of danger.

Although Feng Xue felt like a fool who had been stood up and had to wait in vain, he still observed the actions of these seniors.

"Sure enough, we have to hand in the mission documents before departure..." Feng Xue watched the killers hand over familiar file bags to the ticket office staff, and then walked into the airport with the new documents handed back by the other party, secretly feeling lucky.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally a friend from yesterday's classroom appeared in sight. Then, in the next half hour, the remaining twelve students arrived one after another, but the teacher was still nowhere to be found.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the teacher with a great figure finally appeared in everyone's sight. He first glanced at the status of these children, then nodded and said:

"That's right. No one is being clever. This is your identity information. Next time, you will have to take the mission information and change it yourself!"

Watching the teacher start calling names and distributing materials again, Feng Xue nodded secretly in his heart.

"Although the rules are very strict, there seems to be some wiggle room in places like this. For example, the reason why these materials are in the hands of the teacher is probably because he is worried that someone will destroy the materials and there will be no way to exchange them directly from the ticket seller?"

While he was thinking, the teacher had already called his name. Feng Xue immediately took out the information and walked up. However, when he took the new information, Feng Xue felt a gaze sweeping from his left ear across his neck, all the way to his ankle.

The tingling sensation made him want to tremble, but the teacher just smiled and said:
"It's well hidden, but don't be too confident. These old technologies are becoming less and less useful in modern times."

"I understand!" Feng Xue didn't know whether to be serious or calm at this time, so he could only answer in the same way as the students did yesterday.

The teacher didn't say anything else about this, just waved his hand and called out the next name.

The fourteen people quickly got their own information, and the teacher said calmly:
"Here are your identification documents and activity funds for this mission, and of course the mission certificate. Now you can move freely, but remember, the time limit of your mission is one week. If you exceed this time, you will be defined as a defector. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The fourteen people responded in unison, and the teacher didn't say any more nonsense. He didn't even say a polite word like "I hope you can come back alive" like he did yesterday. He just disappeared at the airport gate.

The friends in front of him scattered. Feng Xue was stunned for half a second, then immediately realized the reason. He found a secluded place and opened the information bag in his hand.

Compared to the thick mission information yesterday, the contents of this information bag were much less -

Just three cards and a pitifully thin document.

Among the three cards, one is a boarding pass, which is also a plane ticket, and the other is probably an ID card, driver's license or something like that, with a string of numbers, a photo of a boy who matches the body, and some personal information such as blood type. As for the identity information, it is much simpler than the detailed information of the mission target, which is just date of birth, hometown, why he came out to travel at such a young age, etc.

However, compared to these, what really attracted Feng Xue's attention was the last card with a red background and black patterns.

"orchard?!"

Looking at the artistic pattern of an apple entangled by a snake on the card, Feng Xue immediately came up with relevant information in his mind -

The part of his assassination technique involving firearms was exactly that of the killer affiliated with the Orchard—Joshua Johnson!
This card is the "voucher" that the orchard killer leaves at the scene after each mission.

Although this behavior looks a bit like a thief, killers and thieves are different after all. A thief leaving a note to send a warning is just a stupid behavior because they are thieves, but it is different for killers. After all, they are doing a job and they need to be commissioned by the client. If you don’t leave evidence, how can you prove that you did it? If you don’t leave evidence, who knows that you are a orchard cow?
In a sense, this is similar to some professions where people slip small cards into the cracks of hotel doors.

Thinking of this, Feng Xue suddenly felt that the card in his hand was a bit low, but he still carefully put it away and began to look for the plane he wanted to take.

The tarmac was full of helicopters, which made Feng Xue doubt their range. However, considering that this was an idealistic world, Feng Xue shook his head again. What if the pilots directly created oil out of thin air?
After showing his ID card, Feng Xue boarded the plane smoothly. At this time, there was actually another person in the cabin.

"Two tasks appear in one area at the same time?" Feng Xue frowned and cautiously glanced at this "senior" with his peripheral vision.

"Male, estimated to be 1.7 meters tall, between 16 and 20 years old, with a square face..."

While Feng Xue was memorizing the other person's body shape and characteristics, he fastened his seat belt. When the sound of the helicopter's propellers began to cause the fuselage to vibrate, he turned his head to the window, trying to overlook the entire orchard from above.

But the helicopter only rose to a height of about twenty meters when it felt a strange sensation as if it was scratched by something, and then the entire orchard disappeared!

No, what disappeared was not the orchard, but myself!

Feng Xue stared in amazement at his hands which were slowly becoming transparent. The walls of the helicopter and the senior opposite him also became transparent!
Feng Xue's brain was confused at first. The first thing that came to her mind was a certain eraser angel. Then, after realizing that her body was still in the same place, she thought of the discussion about "transparent world" that she had seen in her previous life.

"Because the body becomes transparent, it is difficult for the retina to form an image, so the vision will plummet, and as the transparency increases, it will lead to blindness... Why is it so scientific at this time!"

Feng Xue complained in his heart. Completely blind, he was sitting in a transparent helicopter. The only thing he could sense was the vibration from the seat beneath him.

Maybe it was because of the loss of time caused by blindness, or the destination was near the base, or maybe the golden finger skipped the useless flight time, Feng Xue quickly recovered her vision and watched this not-so-big helicopter slowly landing on the helipad on the roof of a hotel building...
