Cataclysm King

Chapter 158 The Third Mysterious Letter

Ji Xun and Dong Qi are both good-natured people, with no superfluous emotions of arrogance and coquettishness.

After being happy, the two returned to their usual way of getting along, each doing their own thing.

They stayed quietly in the room without going out.

One is studying mechanical blueprints, and the other is consolidating the extraordinary realm after advancement.

Lion City is the territory of the Lionheart family, which is the territory of the enemy.

"1981 Titan Institute" was cleared before, and now there must be a large number of people outside looking for people who have cleared it in every corner of the city.

But because of the 30 people who entered the different-dimensional space, only Ji Xun survived.

The other party couldn't find any useful clues.

As for the Hunters Guild.

The two of them had already taken care of all the troubles when they signed up, so it wasn't a big problem.

And with Baron Charlie's identity as a cover that can be traced, there's a high chance that trouble won't come to them.

The two of them stayed like this for another day and night.

The next day, after lunch.

Ji Xun was still meditating while flipping through the books he was reading.

However, as he looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some mysterious call.

This feeling has come twice.

very familiar.

Ji Xun knew what was about to happen, so he looked at the exquisite bookmark.

Sure enough, after paying attention for a moment, the words left on the bookmark began to fade away.

Then a new line of text appeared: "Mr. Chaoyang? Sorry, I couldn't help you last time. Later I asked other teachers for advice, and they still had no better way to deal with your kind of mental aberration. I I don't know if you are well. Oh, fate will definitely take care of you."

Ji Xun smiled slightly when he saw this.

If it weren't for this mysterious pen pal's letter, he would never have thought of a way to go undercover in the Silver Moon Sect.

This one helped him a lot.

The previous words are generally all kinds of apologies and concerns.

Ji Xun continued to read.

The text on the letterhead continued to appear: "I'm sorry that this letter may bother you. But I have encountered another problem that troubles me. I can't tell anyone about this problem, so I can only write a letter to tell you. Oh, forgive me for being a little confused. The thing is, after the coming-of-age ceremony, I won the first place in the family assessment. Then...then there were many people coming to propose marriage. You should understand this kind of trouble, right?"

When Ji Xun saw this, he had roughly guessed what he was going to write next.

According to the exchanges in the previous letters, this fisherman should have been born in a very wealthy family.

She won the first place in the assessment.

This is likely to involve family inheritance rights or something.

With regard to the current system of centralized aristocratic power in the Federation, marriage is inevitable.

Especially women.

Sure enough, the text behind it is: "My mother said that the family elders have already discussed and decided that I will be engaged in two months. I want to marry a young master from a noble family. But... I have never even met that person." My good friend helped me find out. He was a romantic and a bad guy who contracted many diseases. My mother loved me very much. She knew that I didn’t like it, but she also said that this was the duty of female members of the family. Can I marry Being a high-ranking noble is already my best life. Sorry, I don’t know what to express. I just feel very unhappy. My father, and even my dearest grandfather, they also said that I should follow the arrangements of the clan, that way This will make the family stronger. This makes me confused. Maybe, as everyone said, I should agree to this arrangement and live my whole life? But the more I think about the future, I feel very, very unhappy. I think Let me ask Mr. Chaoyang, do you think so too?"

Notes on letterhead stop here.

Ji Xun read every word carefully.

I also felt a lingering melancholy and confusion between the lines.

That mysterious pen pal is very unhappy.

As if it was a clown's occupational disease, Ji Xun thought about it, decisively picked up the pen, and wrote a reply: "Oh no, Miss Yu, your previous advice helped me find some special methods. My current mental aberration has been cured. Suppressed. Thank you very much. As for your question, I am not in your situation and cannot fully understand your troubles. But I can express my superficial views on this kind of thing."

He went on to write: "In my opinion, 'Love is voluntary, no regrets' is the best attitude towards feelings. It is also the attitude towards one's own life. Life is short and fragile, and we must be brave to pursue freedom and respect My own inner choice. From the beginning to the end, life is blooming for myself, not for others. This is the meaning of life I understand. If it were me, I would definitely choose the life I like. I wish you a happy heart Live every day of your life.”

Ji Xun didn't talk about the benefits of family marriage to the family.

In his eyes, life and death are not the most important, let alone other things.

Since the other party asked, he also expressed his true opinion.

Ji Xun didn't think much about it.

He could only express his own thoughts on the emotional issues of a young girl.

Apart from writing a few words that don't hurt or hurt, there is nothing else that can be done to help.

As he wrote this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Since he has already received a letter, why not ask more questions?

This kind of one-way letter opportunity is rare.

It was this person who helped him solve the problem of mental aberration last time.

Now I just encountered a new problem.

"Miss Yu, I also have a new confusion to ask for help. That is, I encountered some problems when I advanced to the third level card master. I practice multi-element breathing method, and it will be very difficult to understand my own 'curse seal' ,do you have any good advice"

Although he had just entered the second level, Ji Xun had to consider this issue in advance.

If you want to reach the third level, you must understand the "curse seal".

This is a test of the card master's understanding of the rules, not just a matter of attribute data.

Many card masters are stuck in this bottleneck their entire lives.

Moreover, Ji Xun's learning is a multi-element breathing method. In theory, the threshold will be many times higher than others.

He didn't think he would be able to make it through.

At least for a long time in the future, he felt that he had no clue at all.

Since I met him, I just asked him once.

After all, judging from the information exchanged, the mysterious pen pal doesn’t seem to be very powerful himself.

But the level of resources that the family behind her has access to is very high.

Maybe there will be some special surprise like the previous Jing Mystery Magic.

After Ji Xun finished writing the letter, he didn't take it to heart that he didn't know when he would receive a reply.

Once again, the letterhead was stuck in the classics.

He continued to meditate and read the classics.

Coincidentally, Ji Xun thought of something and took out the [Silver Moon Mirror] as usual and checked it out.

After all, he also has the identity of being an undercover agent of the Silver Moon Sect, and he has to always pay attention to the messages from the leader.

There is no movement on weekdays.

But when I took it out today, there was a whisper from the devil in the mirror.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, picked it up skillfully and deciphered some information: "The Lion Heart Family Dance tomorrow night, take care of it."

"What does this mean?"

Ji Xun failed to fully decipher those demonic whispers.

But I also guessed from those fragmentary information that the Silver Moon Sect was going to cause trouble.

"The people in Bureau X haven't figured it out yet?"

Ji Xun didn't know what was going on, but he was ready to take a look.

It happened that he also wanted to meet Xie Guozhong.

The life of aristocrats has always been simple and luxurious.

In addition to dancing every day, there are dinner parties for various reasons.

Ji is now using the disguised identity of Baron Charlie, and has been receiving various invitations every day recently.

Before he wanted to advance, he was not interested in wasting time on useless interactions.

But now that I have received the secret order from the leader of Silver Moon, I naturally want to go there.

He was also very curious about what those old believers were going to do.

The next day, seven o'clock in the evening.

Ji Xun went out.

Lion City is now beginning to take shape, and there are already several two-way main roads running north and south within the walls.

The headquarters of the Lionheart Family is at the crossroads in the center of the city, in the building with the golden lion flag hanging in front of the door.

Ji Xun changed into a handsome suit and took a car to the building.

He was already familiar with the procedures of noble banquets.

Under the guidance of the servant, we took the elevator to the seventh floor.

This is the banquet hall. When Ji Xun arrived, there were already many well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, as well as young and beautiful noble ladies.

The band played lively music, and the lights were soft and ambiguous.

Familiar high society ballroom atmosphere.

Baron Charlie is already well-known in Innocence City. When Ji Xun came here, he met many acquaintances along the way.

After saying hello politely, he walked to the snack buffet and ate the dessert with great interest.

Before, he was keen on socializing with the upper class because he wanted to break into the Silver Moon Sect.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it would be better to keep a low profile.

After all, he had just deceived the Lionheart family in the 1981 space.

I have to say that these nobles really know how to enjoy life.

As far as food is concerned, this buffet contains delicacies that may not be seen in civilian recipes in a lifetime.

Not to mention the taste.

Ji Xun was eating and drinking in the corner from time to time, looking around.

He also wanted to see if the Silver Moon leader was here.

But before the leader of Silver Moon could wait, a strong man quietly hid in the shadow of the pillar.

Xie Guozhong's voice came to his ears: "You kid, why are you involved with the revolutionary army again?"

During the last battle at Honglou, the deputy leader of the revolutionary army, "Valkyrie" Qin, appeared.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire federal leadership.

As the ace agent of Bureau X, he naturally had to investigate immediately.

Although there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Innocence City, legendary strong men are not easily encountered.

Thinking again about the mysterious person who took action when Governor Cao Yu was killed, it was not difficult for Xie Guozhong to guess that it was that person.

After investigating the various interpersonal relationships of Hong Lou's senior management, he was even more certain.

The informant said that there is a guy who is close to Dong Qi, the eldest daughter of Honglou, who has been in Honglou many times recently.

He knew it was this guy.

Ji Xun sounded a little helpless when he heard this, and said, "I have nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army. I only just found out about that person's identity."

He didn't think Xie Guozhong was here to cause trouble for him.

He said it casually.

Sure enough, Xie Guozhong believed it immediately and just complained: "Why do I feel like there will always be big trouble around you?"

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing, and answered in his mind: Maybe it's because of the 'bad luck gambler'?

He didn't respond and said, "But what's the situation on your side? There is definite news tonight that there will be some action within the Silver Moon Sect."

Xie Guozhong was also slightly surprised when he heard this, "Any action tonight?"

Ji Xundao: "Yes. But I don't know what they are going to do. They just asked me to take care of it. I think... maybe they want to steal something? Or assassinate?"

He had thought about it before coming. Since the leader of Silver Moon asked him to take over, he definitely wasn't interested in his combat prowess.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Lion Heart Family, and it is impossible to force it.

If he doesn't fight, he is most likely trying to use his identity as "Baron Charlie" to cover something.

"Ah."

Xie Guozhong nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "After the destruction of Hong Tower, the situation in Sinless City has become more and more complicated recently. Not only the Silver Moon Sect, but also some remnants of other old god sects have also appeared. Oh. , um. Is there any news about your friend who is a remnant of Oran?"

Ji Xun knew as soon as he heard that he was talking about the ninth day of the lunar month, and asked, "No. What's wrong?"

Xie Guozhong said: "There is news that the remnants of the old era have been active recently, and it is said that there is something going on internally. The new king seems to be planning some very dangerous big move when he comes to power."

new king?

The nominal brother Wang on the ninth day of the lunar month?
Ji Xun had heard from Nan Jing before and knew that the king of the Oran survivors had been critically ill for a long time, and it was normal for him to die now.

But he didn't sound worried at all.

This level of turmoil is what the federal leaders have to worry about, and it has nothing to do with a little guy like him.

On the contrary, he felt that it would be better to be more lively.

At this time, Xie Guozhong thought of something and reminded: "Also, the Cao family recently personally sent people to investigate the assassination of the two lords of Innocence City. It is said that a very powerful detective came from Longcheng. You Be careful yourself."

"Ah."

Ji Xun felt a sense of crisis when he heard that it had something to do with him.

The dinner was an ordinary aristocratic dinner.

The Lionheart family entertained these "heroes" who came to actively build the new city.

It is also a resource exchange gathering for the upper class.

The whole process is eating, drinking, dancing, and talking business.

Baron Charlie had little resources and nothing to communicate with, so Ji Xun pretended to wander around the crowd for a while, then sat in the rest area and drank.

He also glanced at everyone here.He still has to wait for the order from the leader of Silver Moon.

However, before the order was given, an acquaintance walked into the rest area.

Catalina, wearing a burgundy evening dress, entered the banquet hall and saw Ji Xun at first sight.

She now lost interest in those interactions, and after thinking about it, she walked to the rest area.

Looking at Ji Xun, Catalina took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, Baron Charlie, long time no see."

Ji Xun also stood up in a gentlemanly manner and performed a breast-protecting ceremony, "Beautiful Miss Carter, long time no see."

After Catalina knew that the guy in front of her was from Bureau X, her attitude became less guarded.

With her skirt closed, she sat elegantly on the sofa and asked casually: "Got a mission?"

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally: "What if... I mean, you came here to see Miss Carter?"

"Oh?"

Catalina naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

There was a half-smile on her pretty face, and she turned around and said, "Your cousin Sophia is gone. I thought you would disappear too."

"."

Ji Xun was not surprised when he heard this.

Xie Guozhong has already mentioned this situation before.

Once Sophia is exposed, his identity as Baron Charlie will also be exposed immediately.

But she had just received news from the leader of Silver Moon before, which meant that she did not use the identity of "Sophia" to cause trouble, but had a better plan.

Now Ji Xun could only think of one possibility, that is, the person who used her "Thousand-faced Moon" ability to transform into anyone present.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Ji Xun's expression remained unchanged, but he changed the topic: "How is Miss Carter's engagement?"

Hearing this, Catalina's crystal eyes flashed with strange color. After a moment of silence, she said lightly: "Not very good."

Ji Xun was just asking casually and didn't want to go into details.

However, without thinking, when this topic was mentioned, Catalina seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "Can I ask you a very presumptuous question?"

Ji Xundao: "Miss Carter is too polite. It is my honor that you are willing to share."

Catalina said calmly: "I don't really want to get married now. Do you have any good suggestions?"

She couldn't say this to anyone around her.

She didn't know why, but when she saw this guy, she remembered the scene when they went to the roof together at Rose Manor last time.

I mentioned this topic casually without thinking too much about it.

Ji Xun listened and chuckled: "Because you don't like political marriage?"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but think of the mysterious pen pal who wrote the letter yesterday.

Do these noble ladies have these troubles?

Catalina said: "Pretty much. I have no expectations at all for that kind of engagement."

Destiny fluctuates.

The [Fate Gold Coin] divination suggested that her choice was right.

But now, it's not so sure.

There seems to be some change in fate, and the gold coins often point to unknown directions.

She was rarely confused.

Ji Xun didn't want to talk too much on this topic, and responded to his point of view again: "Love is voluntary, and there is no regret."

"Ok?"

In a simple sentence, Catalina didn't think anything about it.

But after pondering for a moment, a thoughtful look gradually appeared in Jing's eyes.

And the more I think about it, the more I feel like these words completely answer my doubts.

Isn't my own confusion the fear of regret?

Sure enough, you asked the right person.

She glanced at Ji Xun, with a hint of surprise hidden in her eyes, and chuckled: "Thank you, Baron Charlie, for clearing up the confusion."

"where."

Ji Xunben just dealt with a few words casually.

He just responded with a smile, but suddenly, a familiar female voice came to his ears: "In 2 minutes, someone will hide something in the flower bed on the third wall pillar in the southeast. You must take it out. .”

Leader of Silver Moon!

Are you really here to steal something?
When Ji Xun heard this spiritual message, he immediately knew who it was.

He also made no move to search for the source of the subpoena.

But the moment her eyes froze, Catalina seemed to have discovered something, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun stood up, bowed and stretched out his hand and said, "I'm wondering if it's an honor to invite Miss Carter to dance again?"

Catalina glanced at him and agreed happily: "Okay."

Before I knew it, it was like I was dancing with this guy for the third time.

There seems to be no reason to refuse.

Ji Xun took advantage of the situation and took the delicate hand into his palm, but he had already calculated the time and distance in his heart instantly.

In 2 minutes, the flower bed is 52 meters away.

Ji Xun didn't show any abnormality during the whole process, but he kept counting down in his mind.

2 minutes is not a long time, a dance only lasts a few beats.

The two have danced several times and are not strangers to each other.

While Ji Xun was dancing, he was observing the entire banquet hall from the corner of his eye, and took the young lady in the predetermined direction.

Almost on time, he watched as a security guard in a suit walked into the house.

The guy followed the path and passed the third wall pillar in the southeast!

He didn't stop and headed straight for the window glass.

Ji Xun paid close attention to his surroundings. He also noticed that after this guy came in, there were dense footsteps outside.

"Being surrounded?"

Ji Xun already had a rough guess in his mind.

This guy seemed to have stolen something and was discovered immediately.Knowing that he couldn't escape, he left his things in the banquet hall and asked himself to be escorted out.

There is nothing wrong with this plan.

Before he had time to think about it, a group of people in black suits rushed in.

Catalina also noticed something unusual, and her expression was slightly different.

The guy before didn't dare to stay any longer. Before everyone could react, he rushed towards the glass and slammed into it.

"Bang!"

The window glass of the banquet hall was smashed and the guy jumped off the building.

At almost the same time, a dozen guards from the Lionheart family also rushed out.

This movement was not small, and there was a moment of panic in the banquet hall.

When Ji Xun saw this, he took advantage of the moment when everyone's eyes were attracted to him. He happened to be dancing next to the flower stand, so he calmly picked up the thing and stuffed it into his sleeve.

What a good thing that can’t be put in a storage ring.

Everyone was confused by the scene in front of them.

Nobody knows what happened.

Jian, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager, explained that he was trying to calm down the thief, but it didn't cause much panic.

Catalina seemed to have guessed something. She raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't take it seriously.

After all, they were dance partners. Ji Xun got the things and was still holding this person's other hand.

However, he also discovered that something very important seemed to have been lost. People from the Lionheart family had surrounded the entire banquet hall.

Ji Xun also frowned, and muttered in his heart: "It's troublesome."

Even with the identity of Baron Charlie, if the things lost by the Lionheart family were too important, he did not feel that he could safely carry the things out.

However, just as he was thinking about how to leave in the chaos.

Miss Catalina's amazing intuition once again surprised Ji Xun.

She seemed to have guessed something and asked directly: "You invited me to dance just now because of that thief?"

When Ji Xun heard this, the feeling of slight numbness in his scalp immediately hit his heart.

He knew that some of his actions had been discovered.

The strange thing is that it stands to reason that being discovered by the eldest lady of the Lionheart family, the situation could not be worse.

But at this moment, he didn't feel panic at all.

On the contrary, there is a thrilling feeling of walking on the edge of a knife.

Some of the restless thoughts in my heart couldn't be restrained immediately.

Ji Xun didn't make any excuses. The corners of his mouth gradually raised and he asked, "How did you find out?"

Catalina gestured to the hand the two were still holding and said calmly: "You are too calm. In the situation just now, a normal person would be at least a little surprised. But your heart rate has not changed at all. So, I guess you should know something in advance."

After a pause, she added: "And I noticed that guy just now when he came in. The path he took happened to coincide with the path we danced on here. The timing is too coincidental."

Ji Xun listened and sincerely praised: "Miss Carter is indeed the 'Silver Mist Rose', and she truly deserves her reputation."

Who would have no trouble remembering the walking route of someone among the hundreds of people in the banquet hall.

But as luck would have it, this woman paid attention.

This ability of observation and keen intuition are truly worthy of being the most talented woman in Silver Mist City.

After being discovered, Ji Xun not only did not panic, but also felt a sense of anticipation that he would meet his opponent and want to play a game.

win or lose.

It's hard to find a good friend.

Ji Xun looked at the pretty and calm face in front of him. The smile on his face became more and more exaggerated and dangerous.

Catalina raised her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly: "So, are you going to attack me? If you kidnap me, you still have a chance to get out alive."

Ji Xun shook his head with a chuckle.

He didn't get angry, but leaned forward and kissed the back of Carter's hand in a gentlemanly manner, praising her charm: "Such a beautiful lady, how could I be willing to hurt you."

This appreciation is not only about her appearance, but also about her intelligence.

He did think so.

And the fact is exactly the opposite of what Carter said.

If you don't kidnap this guy, he still has a chance to escape.

If he is really going to be hijacked, he will definitely die!

"Oh?"

When Katerina heard this, her intuition made her feel that kind of sincere admiration.

She thought of something and smiled slightly, "Let's go. I'll take you out."

Ji Xun grinned: "Thank you."

Seeing his demeanor, Katerina glanced more and more in her heart, and asked, "Why don't you ask me to help you?"

In this situation, even if he has X Bureau status, he will definitely not be able to recover if he is caught.

But in such a situation, this guy is so calm?

Ji Xun rolled his eyes and said casually: "The internal problems of your Lion Heart family. It's not easy for me, an outsider, to intervene."

Catalina chuckled upon hearing this: "You are very smart."

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

The relationship between the two was just a nod, not familiar enough for her to betray her family's interests to help an outsider.

The only reason why this person is willing to help is because of the conflict of interests within the family.

The inheritance battle between the eldest and second eldest brother of the Anka family has always been bloody, and he has heard about it for a long time.

This Silver Mist Rose is not as weak as she looks on the outside.

There is no need for two smart people to speak too clearly.

Catalina didn't want to say more on this topic, but suddenly thought of something, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Also, if there is another time, can you not invite me to dance for other purposes? It's very rude of you. ."

This memory, three times of dancing, is the same every time.

He seems to be a tool man.

Ji Xun grinned and replied, "Okay."

This woman has changed too much from when she went to Hong Lou to gamble and fight.

The two of them walked out while chatting.

With this eldest lady escorting them, no one in the Lionheart family dared to stop them.

Ji Xun also took the things out smoothly.
