Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 44: The unexpected encounter, using a mask to isolate the truth

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

The silence did not last long in the room. When the noise of the city rolled up from the streets, the bells representing the daytime echoed far away in the night city.

Lin Xuancai realized that it was actually already daytime.

Because of the time and space characteristics of the [Demon and Netherworld], there is no difference between day and night here.

Whenever you look up at the dome of the sky, it is boundless and dark. You can neither see any starlight nor feel the warmth of the rising sun.

In order to ensure the normal life of the people under its rule.

In the city-states in the demonic and ghostly war zones, a large clock is often set up in the center of the city.

Its name is "Fuso Bell Tower".

It is said that the prototype of this building also came from the underworld, and was one of the self-protection measures taken by the human civilization of that time and space after facing eternal night.

It's not just a big alarm clock for everyone.

It also has the combined effects of exorcising ghosts, warding off evil spirits, purifying the land, and blocking out strange rules.

And with the help of many spirits from the broken time and space for more than a century, this large bell tower has integrated many talismans and Yin-Yang techniques.

The Alliance also successfully built hundreds of replicas in the war zone to ensure the safety of residents in every city-state.

Replace "sunrise" with "bell ringing".

The sound of bells is reality.

It is like a lighthouse that never changes its direction in the dark night, leading lost people out of the quagmire of the underworld.

Even now, these towers were built with the efforts of people from two worlds in the eternal night filled with disasters and evil spirits.

For most ordinary people, it has become a death warrant reminding them to work 996 hours a day, and a lateness bell that will cause students to have a cardiac arrest.

Whenever I hear the bell ringing, I can't help but mutter a few words.

——But isn’t this kind of boring peace what our ancestors hoped for?

After finishing the meal.

What surprised Lin Xuan was that it was Xia Shimi who took the initiative to request separate actions.

"Sorry, I have other things I want to do today."

The girl carried the gun, which was almost half her body length, on her back, covered her delicate face with the hood, and tucked her eye-catching long silver hair into her clothes.

She pushed the door open and walked out of the hotel.

Turning her head, she looked at Lin Xuan with calm eyes, "If possible, can you go shopping alone?"

"Ah" Lin Xuan was slightly stunned, then nodded, "It's not a problem. I have roughly memorized the location from the city map I looked at yesterday."

“There are indeed many places that are of interest to me.”

"If Mu Yuqing informs me after handling the matter, they can also contact me using the temporary communication device, and then we can go to that branch to gather together."

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan didn't ask Xia Shimi what she was going to do.

Even if the time together was short.

But he knew that this white-haired girl was actually much more mature than he thought.

Her previous uneasy emotions were probably just a manifestation of her unfamiliarity and lack of adaptability.

After all, before this, the people closest to the girl were the elderly people in their seventies and eighties in that nameless town, and they treated them like their granddaughter.

Regardless of whether he is a spirit bond or not, there is a young man like Lin Xuan who looks similar to his peers.

They are all strange existences to Xia Shimi.

Even freshmen would get nervous when they saw their deskmates, worrying whether they would be easy to get along with.
What's more, the relationship between the Qi Ling Envoy and the Qi Ling is far closer than that of classmates.

As long as this period of time passes, it will be fine.

As we all know, by the middle of the semester, it no longer matters whether your deskmate is a boy or a girl.

Will you put a pack of toilet paper on the table for everyone to use? And will small groups gather around during breaks and occupy your seat?

The question will change from gender to whether it is anthropomorphic.

"Well, she has her own things to do. I relaxed for a day yesterday, and now it's time for me to do my own things."

The petite figure of the girl disappeared from the crowd coming and going on the street.

Lin Xuan also raised his head and put on a relaxed yet somewhat complicated smile again, looking towards the landmark Fuso Bell Tower, which was hundreds of stories high and was located in the center of Linye City.

The hands of the clock were approaching noon.

He stood on the street, put one hand on his waist, and looked around this busiest and noisiest intersection.

Look left and right.

I didn't see anyone approaching me.

“That guy Jingli,” Lin Xuan muttered helplessly, “clearly said that he would send someone to inform me after I entered the city.”

"I've been here for almost a day now, where are the people?"

"Has the test of sincerity evolved to the point where we need to rely on exhaustive methods to forcibly deduce the address?"

[My girlfriend said she was going on a date, but didn’t tell me the time or place. She only said, “This is the place where we first met. You should still remember it.”] - be like.

I remember it, but you also gave me the decoding book!

Just give the password to see what!
The thing that Lin Xuan hated most in his life was to be a riddler in a romance story.

Can I skip this step and go straight to the battle?
Lin Xuan said that compared to the ups and downs of his favorability, he still liked the health bars of the bosses more. "It seems that waiting for me for a moment seems to make you impatient?"

The ethereal girl's voice sounded calmly.

It was like a gentle breeze that instantly smoothed the rippling water in a pond into a mirror.

The originally noisy and bustling intersection, at the moment when the fox-eared girl's voice rang out, became a waveless surface of water reflecting the azure blue sky.

A transparent evil aura spread all around.

Like countless broken mirrors reflecting each other.

After covering Lin Xuan, the passers-by seemed to be oblivious to the figures of the two.

Even if they looked towards them, they would only see the scenery of the other side of the street. Although they were in the bustling city, it was a quiet space that belonged to only the two of them.

The fox-eared girl, wearing a blue and white shrine maiden costume, walked up to the slightly stunned Lin Xuan, wearing wooden clogs that made clear sounds.

The pair of light golden eyes looked at him.

A deep gaze.

After a while, she said calmly: "Well, now I have changed my mind."

"We haven't seen each other for such a long time. It's a bit too easy for you to be allowed to enter my residence just like that."

"Before that, just walk around with me."

After finishing speaking.

The fox-eared girl turned away calmly, and just like her character, she would not give the other party a chance to refute. It was like a decree from the gods, and the visiting pilgrims could only nod and accept it.

She said calmly, "I can also take this opportunity to let you see with your own eyes what the civilization you risked your life to protect has become now."

The black-haired boy still stood there.

He looked at the fox's back, the sleeves hanging down his shoulders, the long light blue hair falling, and the ethereal temperament that no one could imitate.

Because of the fox ears that droop to the person it trusts, and the tail that swings behind it.

He looked at her quietly for a few more times, his eyes dark and calm, without any ripples.

"Oh, that's okay too."

After a light sigh, less than a second passed, and no one would notice the difference in time.

Lin Xuan shrugged and chuckled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. After all, you are the host."

"Since you've said that, I can only obey you, right?"

After the words fell.

He calmly followed the back and steps of the fox-eared girl, walked with her towards the bustling city, and left the intersection.

And soon after both of them left.

A timid girl with a panicked expression and a small mirror in her hand came to the intersection.

"Ha ha."

She was breathing slightly, as if she was in a hurry to complete the task and had rushed all the way here.

This girl is a little special.

On her somewhat mottled white hair, there are a pair of fox ears that look like a monster.

However, there is no mark of the spirit in her body, and she looks more human.

There's not even a tail.

Such a strange appearance naturally made the spirits and humans on the street couldn't help but look at her.

As a soul incarnated in flesh, Qi Ling cannot give birth to the next generation - this makes the girl's existence seem very different and out of place in any context.

"woo"

Seeing the gazes from all around cast towards her as an "alien", the girl seemed to have not been exposed to the outside world for a long time, and her eyes were timid and evasive.

But when I thought about the sacred mission assigned to me, which was personally conveyed by that adult.

She mustered up her courage again.

The girl stood at the crossroads, looking around anxiously.

Glancing at the 'mark' in the small mirror that had stayed at the intersection and had not moved until now, she was sure that she had finally found the right place.

Phew, luckily I didn’t mess up this important task.

It's just a little late, so it shouldn't be a problem.

"Lord Lin Xuan? Lord Lin Xuan, are you nearby?"

The white-haired fox-eared girl mustered up her courage and shouted loudly.

"I am the messenger sent by the witch to take you there. My name is Xiaobai."

"Master Lin Xuan, you are here, er, right?"

"."

"."

"Wow, what should I do? I might be scolded to death by everyone."
