Chapter 323: Alley
The military building is located in the capital of the empire. As the center of an empire, it is still very prosperous. The overall level of civilization has roughly developed into the industrial era. However, the technology tree is a bit strange and uses spiritual technology involved.
The spiritual guide technology.
Through the use of free spirits that are everywhere in the atmosphere, people have successively invented psychic engines, spirit lamps, spirit guide robot dolls, psychic ammunition and cannons, which are roughly the World War II period in a certain Earth world
Social level.
However, compared with pure physical and chemical technologies based on steam internal combustion, kerosene and gunpowder, Lingdao Technology is much more environmentally friendly. At least compared with the environment of a certain earth world, the air pollution index here is basically maintained in the original ecology.
level.
This seems to be the result of the invisible suppression of the development of pure physical and chemical technology by Lingzi in the atmosphere.
It is rare to leave the closed environment like the institute and come to the prosperous outside society. Jiang Yan is not uncurious about everything. Unfortunately, he has a command of the adjustment and has no time or leisure to stay here.
He took a small cloth bag containing only a bottle of water and a few pieces of bread, and took the train to a country village in the empire.
"Little brother, are you alone? Where is your adult?" After the train started, a middle-aged uncle in a gray windbreaker came up with a kind smile on his face.
It is obviously quite eye-catching that a child, who is only about nine years old, takes the train alone.
"Sir, this is not your business, please don't approach me casually." Jiang Yan refused indifferently, because he intuitively felt that although the uncle in front of him seemed kind, he was a little fake.
Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but his natural keen perception and training he received in the institute can easily detect that this gray-clothed uncle was quietly looking at him, with a gaze that was definitely not good intentions in his eyes.
"Well……"
Being so simply rejected made the gray-clothed uncle's face suddenly stiff, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes. However, with so many passengers on the train, he couldn't do anything out of line to a child.
I could only turn around and return to my seat in disappointment.
The other party's seat was next to Jiang Yan, with only one aisle away from the middle.
Jiang Yan could feel that the other party's eyes still turned their eyes away from time to time, but he did not sense the threatening aura from the other party, so he ignored it and closed his eyes and went into a state of false sleep.
The small farce here did not attract too much attention from the passengers. As time passed, many people were sleepy and the train carriage fell into a quiet state, leaving only the clicking wheels and rails.
The friction sound echoed in rhythmic patterns.
While half asleep and half awake, Jiang Yan frowned secretly. His keen perception ability made him know that some malicious intention was approaching him.
Jiang Yan quietly opened a slit of his eyelids and saw the old man in gray leaning against his seat as if he was sleeping, but his eyelids were slightly opened, and the light from the corner of his eyes was staring at him, and
His hand was silently stretched out and touched the small cloth bag that Jiang Yan placed beside him.
'theft?'
This thought flashed through his mind instantly. Jiang Yan sighed, letting his contract elf, little Slime, get out of his collar, keep invisible and climb onto the cloth bag, and then aimed at the gray-clothed uncle who reached over.
A layer of fine needles was deformed in the direction of the palm.
When it was not necessary, Little Slime liked to be physically irritated on Jiang Yan. In order not to be overly eye-catching, Jiang Yan asked it to hide it in the inner layer of his clothes when outsiders were present.
The cloth bag containing only clean water and bread is not worth much, but that is also the only food on Jiang Yan's road, so naturally thieves are not allowed to move around.
The man in gray who didn't know what weapon was waiting for him in front of him continued to stretch out his palm without any awareness and pressed the "needle blanket" prepared by the little Slime in an invisible state for him.
"Ah--" Suddenly, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but scream in pain, and hurriedly pulled back his palm as if it was burning.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of people nearby, and the man in gray quickly adjusted his body and pretended to be awakened just now, and finally got confused.
Then, he glared at Jiang Yan with a vague and surprised and resentful look.
...
About half a day later, the city of Belon.
When the train arrived at the station, Jiang Yan picked up the small cloth bag and hung it on his shoulder, got off the train alone, took out a small note and looked at it.
"Well... White Bird Street, Nightingale Bar?"
The stronghold of the Assassination Force branch is also an ordinary industry on the surface, and Jiang Yan is now in a convenient place to go to this so-called Nightingale Bar.
But he didn't know the specific location. Although this small city is much smaller than that of the imperial capital, it is also a city with a permanent population of more than 200,000. Jiang Yan, who is a newcomer, doesn't give a map, think about it for a while.
Only by finding the right place can there be ghosts.
After a while, Jiang Yan simply gave up.
Forget it, just ask the locals for a way.
Just as Jiang Yan was planning to do this, a voice behind him that seemed to have heard just a few days ago suddenly came and called him.
"Little brother, what a coincidence, we've met again!"
Jiang Yan paused when he was about to take a step, turned around and saw that he had seen the uncle in gray on the train before.
Come on! It seems that Jiang Yan has been targeted. If he doesn't solve it, he might be followed all the way to the branch base.
‘What a boring trouble.’
Jiang Yan sighed, and asked helplessly to the uncle in gray who was approaching, "Is there anything wrong?"
The uncle in gray asked with a smile that seemed to be full of flaws in Jiang Yan's eyes, "Looking at your appearance, you seem to be lost? Uncle, I am a local from Bilun City. Do you need me to lead you?"
"Oh... OK, thank you, uncle!" Jiang Yan looked at him calmly for a few seconds, and saw the uncle in gray suddenly, and then he showed a seemingly innocent smile.
Street address.
Half a minute later, in a dark and deserted alley, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped looking at the uncle in the gray-clothed man who was walking ahead and leading him deeper into the alley.
"I said, what do you want to do?"
Although young, it was a cold sound, which made the uncle in gray suddenly stunned.
He stopped and turned around, looked at Jiang Yan, who was not going to continue walking deep into the alley, and then looked at the alley that was no one around. The mask of sweet smile that had been on his face finally faded away.
"Tsk, are you really alert?" He glanced at Jiang Yan's small body, which looked very thin. Although Jiang Yan's attitude was a little wrong, the uncle in gray didn't care too much.
Anyway, looking at the ordinary clothes of the little ghost, they don’t look like children from a family with extraordinary status. On the contrary, the pale complexion that looks malnourished is more like the descendants of ordinary people or even poor people.
This kind of child who has no background but looks very likable is the favorite of people like him.
I believe that after carefully packaging it, you can sell it at a very good price!
