"What is this?" Shen Mochen asked.

"The communication device for the Guardian Force." Xiao Xing Shuang picked it up. "Don't speak yet."

Shen Mochen wisely shut up.

Xiao Xingshuang connected with Shouxin's communication device, and commands in Roman language came through. Shen Mochen listened quietly, and he found that he could actually understand it with a bit of difficulty.

The other side ordered Xiao Xingshuang to stop the search and return to her team immediately.

Xiao Xingshuang hung up, glanced at Shen Mochen, and said nonchalantly, "What do you want to eat?"

"What do they want from you?" Shen Mochen asked tentatively.

"Let me rejoin the team," Xiao Xingshuang said frankly.

"The important person has been found?"

"do not know."

"So, you're not planning to rejoin the team?"

“I can take leave; I have time off.”

"Don't ask for leave yet!" Shen Mochen immediately stopped him.

Xiao Xingshuang looked puzzled: "Why?"

Shen Mochen sighed and patiently explained, "If you take leave at this time, it might attract attention! You'd better act as usual. Do you have any food here?"

Xiao Xingshuang said blankly, "There are biscuits and instant noodles here."

"Enough!" Shen Mochen nodded vigorously. "I'll hide here for a few days. You can come back during your vacation as usual. By the way, can you find out for me who the target on the plane is?"

Although Xiao Xingshuang might lie, her lies are easy to spot. In fact, if she lies, it would only help Shen Mochen pinpoint his target.

Xiao Xingshuang remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"You said someone wants to kill you. Do you know who that person is?"

"I don't know, this is my last memory. I vaguely remember that the other party must have had a lot of energy."

"Why would anyone want to kill you? You're just a..."

Xiao Xingshuang looked puzzled. But she swallowed her words.

She knew that Shen Mochen was very famous in Yu Pi. But ultimately, he was just a publicity star, and there was no motive or reason to want him dead... That was what Xiao Xingshuang originally thought, but then she thought of Shen Mochen's strange superpower.

Could it be related to Shen Mochen's special ability?
Even someone with no common sense would know that when a plane crashes, falling from such a height, it's almost impossible for anyone to survive. Yet Shen Mochen didn't have a single scratch on his body; he only suffered amnesia.

Besides, she had surveyed the scene. The plane didn't seem to have crashed accidentally; it looked like it had been shot down, exploding in mid-air before crashing. Apart from Shen Mochen, she hadn't seen a single body. Perhaps they had evaporated, or broken into countless small pieces.

Shen Mochen's survival might be due to his unique supernatural ability. If so, he might be the one the authorities are searching for.

Is the search for him intended to harm him, or to hand him over to Yu Pi?

Xiao Xingshuang couldn't understand it either; all she knew was that Shen Mochen now belonged to her.

"Please, you're all I have now." Shen Mochen opened his broken and pitiful eyes and held Xiao Xingshuang's hands affectionately.

"Hmm... I'm back with the team. Be careful and stay hidden." Xiao Xingshuang nodded calmly. Shen Mochen then hugged Xiao Xingshuang's full and firm body and kissed her cheek: "Take care on your journey."

Xiao Xingshuang was stunned for a moment, then, after regaining her senses, she kissed Shen Mochen's lips fiercely again. Her kissing skills were very clumsy; she simply pressed down hard once, as if to stamp something.

……

After watching Xiao Xingshuang leave, Shen Mochen immediately locked the door.

He tiptoed to turn on the old television, turned the volume down, and searched for Roman's news program.

But after watching the news for most of the day, he still didn't see his own face.

He was very disappointed and looked around the room again. It was really too small, cramped and small, and didn't even have a bathroom. Although it was relatively clean overall.

Besides the bed, the largest piece of furniture in the room was a desk piled with books.

Shen Mochen flipped through the books curiously, but quickly lost interest. There was nothing particularly special about them; aside from a few Romance language textbooks, there were some Romance fairy tales.

In addition, there was a thick notebook containing Romance language learning notes.

It's clear that she really wants to fit in with Roman.

"Roman's torchbearers should be well paid, so how come... they live such a meager life?"

Shen Mochen looked around again and couldn't help but frown. Even if she was naturally frugal, there was no need to be so thrifty.

Watchers should be highly rewarded; in any country, they should be at least in the top 1%.

Shen Mochen became increasingly curious about Xiao Xingshuang, so he carefully searched the room. Fortunately, the room was not large, and soon, Shen Mochen found a pair of glasses, as well as a stack of medical records and reports, in the cabinet.

The medical record was written in Romance, which contained many unfamiliar words. Shen Mochen took out a dictionary and slowly translated it, continuing until evening, and finally roughly understood the reason why Xiao Xingshuang was so frugal.

She was treating someone, and the medical record suggested it was most likely her mother. Her mother had a very serious illness, and Xiao Xing Shuang had chosen a customized, special treatment method. This method was extremely expensive, and even for a guardian like Roman, the most powerful empire, the cost was a struggle.

Sigh… Shen Mochen sighed and put the medical record back in its place. He felt a little more favor and sympathy for Xiao Xingshuang, and the unpleasantness he felt because of her wanting to “take” him vanished.

Shen Mochen touched the cross on his neck. It was the only thing he owned, and perhaps, it was very important.

It was already dark. Shen Mochen turned off the TV, but didn't go to sleep. He pressed his ear against the wall and listened for a while, then put on Xiao Xingshuang's knitted hat and mask, picked up the keys on the table, and quietly went out.

He wasn't worried about being secretly watched, because there was absolutely no need for it. If anyone really suspected anything, they could simply come in and search after Xiao Xing Shuang left.

Leaving the room, Shen Mochen discovered it was an apartment building resembling a hotel, but without any management staff. He quietly slipped from the second floor to the first floor, where a biting wind blew outside.

"It's so cold..." Shen Mochen shivered slightly. It was fortunate that his outfit would not arouse suspicion.

Perhaps because it was late, there were few pedestrians on the road. Shen Mochen looked around at the surroundings; the buildings were all quite ordinary, although Xiao Xingshuang's residence was the worst of them all.

He walked silently down the road with his head down, neon lights flashing along the roadside, and occasionally a drunkard would collapse on the roadside.

He didn't pay attention to anything else, but just silently memorized the route while looking around to see if there was any information worth collecting.

The surrounding walls were covered with job postings, many of which contained suggestive and risqué content. Shen Mochen remembered that the entire Roman nation was a religious believer.

He expertly rummaged through the pile of trash...

Why am I so adept at rummaging through trash? Oh, I almost forgot, I'm an orphan from the slums. (End of Chapter)
