On the empty street, two figures slowly walked out from the grocery store.
"In the end, that old man still refused to say what the major mission actually is." Li Shangfeng clicked his tongue. "Hiding and concealing, what's going on?"
"The larger the mission, the stricter the secrecy, this is very normal." Lin Xi responded calmly. "The two of us are both rookies. Since the Grey King didn't speak clearly with us when issuing the mission, naturally, Old Fan as an ordinary liaison wouldn't easily reveal it either..."
"Then how do we know what we should do and when?"
"Didn't Old Fan say it? First lie dormant in the Ruoshui Bastion, and wait for the Grey King's instructions."
"Tch..."
Li Shangfeng was sowhat helpless. This was quite different from the mission he imagined... Things like lying dormant were the most troubleso, and he also didn't know when it would co to an end.
The Dusk Society couldn't possibly make him lie dormant here for half a year or a year, right?
"Hey, Eight of Clubs, how do you plan to lie dormant?" Li Shangfeng turned his head to look at Lin Xi.
"The Grey King has already arranged legal identities for us. The next step is nothing more than finding a place where information flows frequently and the good and bad are mixed... Not only can we collect so intelligence ourselves, but we can also use the dense crowd flow to make ourselves more inconspicuous," Lin Xi pondered for a mont.
"Alright, then I'll follow you."
"?" Lin Xi looked at him bizarrely. "Why are you following ?"
"My brain is dumb, what I'm worst at is lying dormant. You kid look very smart, following you I can save a lot of trouble." Li Shangfeng grinned. "Not to ntion we are both rookies, isn't helping each other what we should do?"
Lin Xi sized up this seemingly careless youth from top to bottom a few tis, seeming sowhat disdainful... But what he said was also right. Since this mission was major, it must also be very dangerous. It would always be sowhat better for rookies to help each other.
Just as Lin Xi was about to say sothing, by the roadside, a figure wearing a Chengtian Prefecture uniform walked straight towards here.
Seeing the person from the Chengtian Prefecture, Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi's hearts tightened simultaneously!
What's the situation?
Just arrived at the Ruoshui Bastion and got discovered?!
Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi exchanged a glance. Although the two hadn't had any cooperation before, this single look was full of tacit understanding. Li Shangfeng silently placed his hands behind his back, a gun barrel equipped with a silencer silently revealed... Lin Xi grasped the Paintbrush in his pocket, ready at any ti to obscure the surrounding environnt and run away imdiately after killing the person.
Just when the two of them were highly tense, that person from the Chengtian Prefecture smiled slightly at them, and then handed over a flyer:
"Hello."
"This is the Ruoshui Bastion Security Prevention Publicity Committee, please learn so ergency shelter knowledge popularization!"
After respectively stuffing the two flyers into Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi's hands, he didn't look back and continued walking along the street, leaving only two dumbfounded figures standing in place like sculptures.
After a long ti, Li Shangfeng looked at the flyer in his hand with a bizarre expression...
"...What the heck is this?"
"Has the Ruoshui Bastion's security popularization already reached this level?" Lin Xi carefully flipped through the exquisitely crafted popularization flyer in his hand, his expression incomparably surprised.
Besides outputting many relevant ergency escape matters in the form of comics, it also marked the corresponding ergency shelter locations of the blocks. At the very bottom of the flyer, it even listed a series of public welfare speeches on security prevention awareness that would be carried out this week... Basically, there was one every day, and as long as you participated, they would give you eggs.
"I heard that recently in the Ruoshui Bastion, Calamity attack incidents occasionally occur... is it because of this?" Li Shangfeng spoke doubtfully.
"It's possible." Lin Xi nodded slightly, seeming to have discovered sothing. "However, it shouldn't just be because of recent events... Look, this lecture has already reached hundreds of sessions, they must have started this kind of publicity at least two years ago."
"But this matter is also quite bizarre. I've lived in the Chengtian Domain for so many years, and have never heard of any Calamity attack incidents."
"Never?" Lin Xi glanced at him. "Nine years ago, didn't a World-Ending Calamity attack the Chengtian Domain... and even wipe out an entire Xuanwu Great Avenue?"
"Uh... that one doesn't count."
Li Shangfeng's expression suddenly beca sowhat subtle.
Lin Xi didn't notice his abnormality, rely lowering his head to ponder for a mont before speaking:
"Then let's go to the Central Plaza first... I saw several cafes there, we should be able to hear a lot of news."
"Alright."
Li Shangfeng followed Lin Xi, walking straight towards the direction of the Central Plaza.
"Right, Eight of Clubs... regarding that Red King, how much do you know?" Li Shangfeng asked tentatively.
"Red King?" Lin Xi froze for a mont. "I guess I know nothing at all? I just heard that he created the Dusk Society and is very powerful, but hasn't shown his face for many years..."
"Regarding his identity... and things like that?"
"Identity? What identity?"
"Nothing..." Li Shangfeng hesitated for a mont. "Then how did you join the Dusk Society?"
Lin Xi fell silent. He seed to have fallen into so kind of mory. After a long ti, he finally spoke complexly: "Many things happened... I always feel like there's an invisible force guiding to join here."
Lin Xi opened his mouth, but still said a strange sentence:
"Sotis I always feel... there's another beside ... or, a group of people? I can't say it clearly either... but regardless, I thank fate for helping overco the difficulties."
"Perhaps joining the Dusk Society is also an arrangent of fate."
Li Shangfeng's eyebrows arched up slightly.
Sure enough.
The other society mbers didn't know about the matters of the previous world... nor did they know who the Red King actually was.
Because Li Shangfeng had co into contact with Chen Ling nine years ago and witnessed too many things, the Grey King answered all his questions according to Chen Ling's instructions... Not all society mbers knew of the existence of Phantom mbers from the previous world, rely attributing everything to wonderful fate.
Li Shangfeng naturally wouldn't talk too much, rely nodding:
"So that's how it is."
The two chatted casually while arriving around the Central Plaza.
Li Shangfeng felt this youth was very interesting, and was also shocked by the other party's talent. His expectations for the Dusk Society also grew higher and higher... If the Dusk Society mbers were all a group of geniuses like this, he couldn't even imagine what kind of earth-shattering big things they could do.
The two found a cafe and sat down, sitting from dawn to dusk, pricking up their ears and listening to the conversations of the guests at the surrounding tables one after another.
"Hey, did your child go to the Red Dust Bastion for an exchange study recently? Hasn't returned yet?"
"Not yet... Sent a telegram a few days ago, saying a formidable Professor ca from the Chengtian Domain side, the opportunity was rare, so the exchange ti was extended again."
