Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

【Ding dong! 】

Obsidian Grandma: I feel like Lin Mao is making a suggestive joke...

It wasn't just Fryina who was 'scared to death,' but also Obsidian Grandma Setrali.

She misjudged it at first glance too.

The main problem was Lin Mao's words, which, combined with Alicia's "hurry up" after him, were too easy to misunderstand.

Lin Mao raised an eyebrow.

Lin Mao: I didn't expect Grandma to know so much... Did she secretly read those kinds of novels under the covers at night?

In reality, Cetalli's breath caught in her throat upon seeing the second half of Lin Mao's sentence.

Obsidian Granny: How, how is this possible!

Obsidian Grandma: Grandma is a respectable person!

Obsidian Grandma: Don't imagine everyone is yourself!

Lin Mao: That's really not it.

Xing: He usually watches openly and honestly; it would be ungentlemanly to secretly watch under the covers.

Obsidian Granny: ...

Damn it... how did this thing get associated with 'gentleman'?

Ying: Will Yaedo still release those kinds of novels?

Star: Just because Yaedo doesn't sell it doesn't mean it's not available elsewhere.

Funina: Grandma, you...

Obsidian Grandma: Stop talking, you're the grandma, I'm not as old as you.

After saying that, Sitaleie went into hiding.

No matter what others said, she remained silent, appearing to be on the defensive.

the other side.

Lin Mao also arrived in Alicia's world.

Civilization before the Collapse, before the Third Collapse.

The moment he landed, Lin Mao immediately activated his domain, his consciousness enveloping the surroundings, constantly on guard against Alicia's ambush.

"Oh!"

"welcome!"

Lin Mao almost teleported away with a single gesture.

Seeing the ribbons falling on him, his expression turned strange. "What are you guys doing?"

Alicia wasn't the only one present; there was also Hen, and even Blanca and Mebius were there.

Faced with Lin Mao's questioning gaze, Alicia scratched her head and said, "When I told you that you were coming to Changkong City, Hen suggested that I treat you to a meal in Changkong City before the Honkai arrives."

"But you always had something to do and kept putting it off, so the meal got longer and longer, and then it turned into the party we have now."

Lin Mao understood. "You should have said so earlier. You were so eager that I was starting to suspect that you were like Xing and Ying, plotting something to trick me."

“How could that be!” Alicia shook her head. “I’m not as abstract as those two.”

There aren't many normal people left in the chat group, and I'm one of them.

"Welcome, welcome!" Hen walked up, clapping his hands, his eyes revealing a knowing look that all men would understand. "Come with me tonight, I'll take you to a nice place."

Alicia's smile remained as amiable as ever, as did Blanca's, standing beside Mebius.

Lin Mao, with a straight face, reached out and refused, saying, "Sorry, my sexual orientation is normal."

You think you can't tell, huh?

This statement clearly indicates that he still harbors resentment about the time he was locked in the "Big Bird Spinning Bar" and now wants revenge.

Lin Mao decisively rejected Hen's 'good intentions'.

Lin Mao's hand was held by Alicia, who walked ahead and pulled him toward the banquet.

"Come on! Let's talk inside!"

……

Xixi Island, the residence of the Frost Moon Child.

"You're from the Secret Archives?"

"who are you?"

When Yakoda saw the person who had suddenly approached her, she looked wary. Her fair face was covered in dust, and her clothes were not exactly clean.

Clearly, they suffered a lot in their search for Lin Mao and Nefer.

However, with Lauma's help, there was no chance of starving to death on the streets.

However, given Akoda's capabilities, this situation is unlikely to occur.

Alice sized her up a few times, and her impression of her was quite good. She opened her mouth and said:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Alice, and I'm Lin Mao's... um, friend."

"He knows about your situation, but he couldn't come because of other things, so he asked me to come and help you find your boss."

"Really?" Yakoda's face first showed surprise, then she seemed to think of something and showed a hint of wariness.

Empty words.

Without evidence, anyone could claim to be Lin Mao's friend.

Who knows if the person in front of me is deliberately deceiving me?

“Of course it’s true. Why would I need to lie to you?” Alice understood Akoda’s wariness.

"I'm just here to help you find your boss; you don't need to pay anything."

You don't need to pay anything yourself?

Yakoda began to ponder.

Let her search. If she finds something's wrong, I'll just run away. With my abilities, she definitely can't catch me.

If I hide with Lauma then, she definitely won't dare to do anything to me.

Hey~

Yakoda suddenly sighed.

The boss disappeared after investigating Wild Hunt, and the others in Xia Town also had no clue. Wild Hunt is something that ordinary people dare not easily come into contact with.

They searched for the lamplighter, but had no leads.

With no clue what to do, she could only come to Xixi Island, the place that brought her and Lin Mao together, to see if she could find him.

I asked him to help me find a boss.

After all, the Wild Hunt possesses consciousness, and this information was obtained from him, so he must know something.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Time is of the essence, let's hurry and find your boss."

Alice spoke, waking Akoda.

Yakoda nodded. "What do you suggest we do? I'll do whatever you say."

"First, go to Naxia Town to find someone, then go to your Secret History Museum to look for clues, and then pinpoint the target's location."

Yakoda tilted her head. "Is this... all it takes?"

Alice nodded confidently, "That'll do."

Finding someone is a simple matter for her.

As for rescuing people if they encounter danger... let Lin Mao handle that himself.

After all, she was a woman and not skilled in martial arts.

Following behind Alice, Yakoda felt increasingly uneasy. "Will we really be able to find the boss this way?"

It feels like a lie.

Yakoda sighed inwardly. There was nothing she could do; she had no clues or leads.

Now that someone has finally appeared who claims to know Lin Mao and wants to help her, she has no choice but to go with him.

Hopefully, following her method, she'll eventually be able to find a boss.

Alice walked ahead, humming a song, looking every bit like a tourist visiting Nasha Town.

This made Akoda even more suspicious.

Following Alice, we turned left and right in the town of Naxia and soon arrived at a simple shop.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

The sound of things falling to the ground came from inside the shop, followed by an angry voice.

"Who is it! I don't know that Lord Sangge Mahabay is sleeping...sleeping...sleeping..."

The small figure who came out immediately lost all anger when she saw the person standing in front of the shop, and stammered for a long time without being able to speak.

Alice greeted him, "Long time no see, Lord Sanggo Mahabay."

"Gulp..." Dolly swallowed hard, then smiled brightly.

"Hahaha! How could I let you call me 'Master'? I should be the one calling you 'Master'! Just call me Dolly!"

While speaking, his small hands unconsciously rubbed together in front of him, giving the impression of a cunning businessman.
