Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller

In a secret room in the center of Egg City, the candlelight was dim.

The East Waiter and the West Waiter sat opposite each other at a wooden table. There was no one else in this room, or even in this place, except these two people.

The waiter took out his pocket watch and opened it with a snap. After looking at the time on the dial, he closed it again and tucked it into his arms.

His voice is magnetic, his speaking speed is neither fast nor slow, his tone is just right, and he has a magical power that makes people intoxicated.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Master Dong Shi, the king has issued an order. You and I should work together to wipe out the rebels."

The East Servant sat lazily with sharp eyes. After hearing what the West Servant said, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, the king has issued an imperial decree for you and me to suppress the bandits, but I didn't seem to see the king's entourage in the hall just now..."

Xi Shi nodded slightly and said:

"You are talking about... the attendant who always accompanies the king?"

Dong Shi leaned back on the chair, looked at him with sharp eyes, and said:

"I believe you are also thinking about this matter in your heart, why ask when you know the answer?"

Xi Shi smiled awkwardly and said:

"Master Dong Shi is still so observant..."

Dong Shi said lazily:

"In my opinion, the eunuch must have come down secretly..."

"Besides, Master Xishi, we have known each other for so many years. Do you still want to pretend to be stupid with me?"

Upon hearing this, Western Servant laughed awkwardly a few times.

The East Servant stared straight at the West Servant's face, as if he wanted to see something from his hypocritical face.

After the two of them were silent for a while, it was Dong Shi who took the lead in breaking the oppressive silence.

"The king's intention is very clear. He wants to use us as pawns and watch us fight that damn Li Ming until both of us are hurt. In the end, his attendants will reap the benefits."

"Humph! What a great imperial trick. He weakened us, eradicated the heretics, and made his rule more stable!!!"

When West Servant heard this, he immediately looked as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

The East Servant sneered a few times. He looked down on the West Servant's hypocritical behavior. He clearly felt the same as Ming Jing'er in his heart, but he still acted cowardly and incompetent.

The two of them had their own plans in mind, but there was nothing more to talk about. The candles on the table were blown out, and they each returned to their own territory.

On the way back, Dong Shi felt a little anxious.

The reason for his anxiety was not the mysterious attendant, not the Dawn that had been rampant in Egg City recently, nor even the king who wanted to weaken him.

But it was the Western servant who had just parted with him.

There is only one reason, he can easily see through everyone.

But as for Xi Shi, he always had a feeling in his heart that he was far from being as simple as he saw.

……

Dong Shi returned to his own residence.

His mansion is located in the western part of the central area of ​​Dancheng. The architectural style here is not like that of the southern city, with numerous temples, nor is it like that of the northern city, which looks like a modern city.

Instead, it is somewhat like modern Western architecture, with European-style buildings.

Dong Shi returned to his office immediately, reached out and pushed open the brass door handle. He first glanced around at everything in the room.

His sharp eyes were like a scanner. After making sure that all the layout and furnishings were the same as when he left, he sat down in the armchair behind the large retro European-style desk.

Leaning lazily on the back of the chair, he picked up the neatly stacked stack of newspapers on the desk and started to read.

The newspaper is the Egg City Daily, the only newspaper in Egg City.

The newspaper that published the Egg City Daily belonged to him, and he was the president of the newspaper.

The sequencers under his command were secretly placed in the newspaper office as editors or reporters, collecting secrets hidden in every corner of Egg City for him.

Most of the people under his command are sequencers of the [Announcer] path, and they can also play their own roles in the newspaper.

After Dong Shi quickly read through all the newspapers that were available during his absence, he threw the newspapers on the table.

In his heart, he sent a message to one of his [Tragedy Directors]:

"Come to my office, now."

Then he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of his office, and a man in a white shirt and a vest pushed the door open respectfully and came in.

"What's going on recently?"

Dong Shi didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to lie there lazily.

"Reporting to the president, there have been treasonous incidents in Egg City recently. The two lords, the North Servant and the South Servant..."

Dong Shi immediately interrupted him impatiently and said unhappily:

"I know all this, tell me what I don't know!"

The man's expression was obviously anxious, thinking, what is there in this Egg City that you don't know? This is really embarrassing for me...

Dong Shi raised his eyelids to glance at him, snorted coldly, and said:

"So what activities does our newspaper have recently..."

The man pondered for a moment and said:

"Reporting to the Lord, there are no activities in the newspaper office. According to your instructions, no new people are allowed to join in the near future, and the old people are also strictly guarded..."

Dong Shi's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said:

"You're afraid of me?! What are you afraid of?"

Then, Dong Shi laughed immediately. He laughed strangely a few times and said:

"Oh, you recently robbed some [sheep] from those nobles..."

Cold sweat broke out on the man's face. He knelt down in fear and said tremblingly:

"Please spare my life, sir. I just..."

Dong Shi waved his hands impatiently, as if to drive away an annoying fly, and said:

"Don't give me that. Just do what I told you to do!"

The man kowtowed vigorously and said:

"I will definitely get it done, I will definitely get it done..."

"Your Excellency, I have discovered something. I have found some traces of the missing reporter from our newspaper..."

Dong Shi raised his eyebrows, looked directly at the [Tragedy Director] kneeling on the ground for the first time, and asked hurriedly:

"Where did he go?"

A long time ago, a "Faceless Reporter" in his newspaper mysteriously disappeared, and the man couldn't find him after searching the entire Egg City. The sensitive Dong Shi thought there must be a mystery behind this.

And he can't just disappear, so they send this "tragedy director" to search for his whereabouts.

The tragedy director lowered his head, not daring to hide anything, and said respectfully:

"I discovered that the reporter might have left here..."

Dong Shi raised his eyebrows and said:

"Left here? This is a closed space. If he left here, where else could he go?"

The tragedy director said in a somewhat excited voice:

"I discovered that there seems to be another world underneath this place!"

"Is there a different world?"

"Yes, there is still space below the Egg City!"

"I found a hole, a bottomless cave!"

Dong Shi smacked his lips. This was big news, but he didn't plan to tell anyone else about it first.

"Okay, I get it!"

After saying that, Dong Shi stood up from the armchair and walked out of his office door.

"Let's go and check on our men to see if they have any ideological fluctuations recently!"

The tragedy director quickly stood up, not even bothering to brush the dust off his knees, and followed Dong Shi closely.

The two walked out of his office, walked down a corridor, and arrived at the Egg City Daily newspaper office.

All the sequencers under his command are here.

Dong Shi raised a playful smile and walked into the newspaper office.
