Even hybrid monsters have their day

"What did you discover?" Huangfu Aoxuan asked curiously.

"Look at those streetlights!"

Xu Ruwen: "..."

Huangfu Aoxuan: "..."

Seeing that they didn't speak, Geng Miaowan realized that they were inside her sea of ​​consciousness and couldn't see what was happening outside. She quickly took out her phone and took a picture of what was happening outside.

She glanced out the window again, lost in thought, before sitting back down. She picked up her glass, took a sip of juice, and her eyes caught a glimpse of a note on the table where her glass had been. She looked around the banquet hall; everyone was busy with their own things, and no one seemed to be paying any attention to her.

He picked up the note with a puzzled look, opened it, and saw a few words written inside: Tomorrow night at 10 pm, Jingrun Hotel, Anhe Road, Room 2121, alone.

The signature below...

No.

Geng Miaowan looked up at the banquet hall again, searching for the person who might have left the note. However, everyone's expression was incredibly natural, and most importantly, no one noticed her in that corner at all.

From afar, she saw Qiu Pi walking towards her from the crowd, looking around as if searching for something. Geng Miaowan quickly crumpled the note into a ball in her hand, but dressed in a simple dress, she had nowhere to hide it. Just as she got up to throw the note into the trash can, Qiu Pi saw her and walked towards her with a smile.

She had no choice but to clutch the note tightly in her hand so he wouldn't see it. This action happened spontaneously before her brain could process it, so much so that she herself didn't know why she didn't want Qiu Pi to see the note.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened at the subsequent banquet. When Geng Miaowan and Qiu Pi returned to the hotel, it was nearly midnight. Qiu Pi personally escorted her to her room and watched her enter before turning to leave.

He was very gentlemanly and polite from beginning to end.

Qiu Pi was so gentlemanly that Xu Ruwen couldn't stand it, because this completely overturned his impression of Qiu Pi, making him feel that the difference was too great.

As soon as Geng Miaowan returned to the room, she had the two of them check the entire room. After confirming that there were no cameras or listening devices, she was still not satisfied. She turned on the TV and sent the room service staff away. Then she had Xu Ruwen activate the protective barrier before showing them the photos she had taken.

"This...this isn't..." Xu Ruwen was so surprised he couldn't speak.

Huangfu Aoxuan remained relatively calm, saying, "The pattern formed by these lights is exactly the same as the emblem of the Silver Alliance."

As the political center of the country, any change to anything within the city requires the approval of the highest-level leaders. Especially after the state issued regulations prohibiting the use of streetlights at night, getting streetlights back on in the city is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

This person not only lit up the streetlights in the city, but also brazenly displayed such ostentatious patterns, demonstrating his immense influence in the city. No wonder Qiu Pi said the other party had too much backing. Without solid evidence, no one dared to touch him.

It's like the police knowing full well that someone is a criminal, but lacking evidence, they can only let the criminal go unpunished.

"Do you think the leader of this Silver Alliance is really Peng Yuxian?"

Xu Ruwen: "Just by listening to Peng Yuxian's voice, you can tell he's arrogant. If it really is him, I wouldn't be surprised." Huangfuxuan didn't speak, looking thoughtful.

"Oh, right, let me show you this too." With that, Geng Miaowan took out the slip of paper that she had clutched so tightly it was almost beyond repair, and slowly unfolded it. She smoothed out the creases and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Don't tell me you're going..." Xu Ruwen said this, but in his heart he had already agreed, he just didn't want to admit it.

"Hmm." That goes without saying.

“I don’t approve of you going either,” Huangfu Aoxuan also disagreed with her going to the appointment. She didn’t even know who the other party was, so why would she go? “According to what you said, if those who attacked you are really from the Silver Alliance, then they must all be highly skilled. You are no match for them. If you go, wouldn’t you be falling right into their trap?”

"But I have to go and see who it is and what they're up to." She wasn't going to change her mind no matter what. Seeing that Huangfu Aoxuan and Xu Ruwen seemed to have something to say, she spoke up again, "Think about it, we have no relatives or enemies here, yet we were attacked on our very first night here, and now this mysterious little note has appeared. Maybe there's some connection between them."

In fact, what she said was exactly what they were worried about: "What if it was done by the people who attacked you?"

"Even if they did it, I don't think they would do anything to me. Didn't they bring me back unharmed last time? If they really wanted to do something to me, that day would have been the perfect time. Why go through all this trouble now? Besides, you guys went too, it's not like I'm alone."

Hearing this, Huangfu Aoxuan and Xu Ruwen both felt ashamed. After witnessing the power of the robots in this world, they feared that even if they were present, they wouldn't be able to protect her...

The following evening, Geng Miaowan arrived at the Jingrun Hotel at the agreed time. Before entering the hotel, she looked around carefully to make sure she wasn't being followed without her knowledge.

She felt like she was playing the role of a spy, but Xu Ruwen thought she looked more like she was going to a hotel to meet her lover. Anyway, she finally arrived at the hotel as agreed.

Geng Miaowan asked the hotel receptionist for directions to room 2121, and the receptionist called a waiter to take her to the room. Looking at the waiter's perfect smile, Geng Miaowan knew this was another robot. In a society where robots looked more like humans than humans themselves, Geng Miaowan felt she would eventually develop a split personality.

Soon, led by the robot waiter, she arrived at the door of room 2121. After the waiter left, she knocked on the door. A moment later, the door opened from the inside.

Geng Miaowan took a deep breath, silently telling herself, "Calm down, child," before stepping inside. The door closed automatically after she entered the room. (To be continued.)
