Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 10 Xing accepted the mission of traveling together

In the end, Serris took Xing out for a walk.

On Narcissus Street, Xing walked like a cat on the curb, with her hands stretched out to maintain her balance, making sure she would not fall off the curb.

"What are you doing?" asked Cyrus.

Xing turned her head and answered seriously: "My feet can't touch the ground, otherwise I will die."

"Childish." Serris shook his head with disdain and strode forward.

Xing, who was standing behind him, noticed that Serris's steps were sometimes long and sometimes short, so he quickly rushed over to ask, "How come you take such a long stride after every few steps?"

Serris looked down at the uneven road and answered seriously, "I can't step on the gaps between the tiles, or I'll die."

While replying, Serris accidentally stepped on a gap. He paused, then continued forward as if nothing had happened: "It didn't start just now, it only starts now."

Xing looked disdainful: "Childish."

[You two are the same, so don't criticize each other.]

Xing put her hands on her hips, quite proudly saying, "I'm only one year old, the age of innocence."

"And him," Xing pointed at Serris again, sighed, and shook his head with a look of regret, "this kind of person will still drool even after being cured."

"What naivete?" Ceris's face was almost filled with disgust. "I think your brain is underdeveloped. Your cerebellum is completely undeveloped."

Xing rolled up his sleeves and wanted to let Ceres see the power of the great Galaxy Batman.

She stretched out her hand to scratch at Serris, and Serris did the same. Their palms clashed in mid-air, then were forced downward by the combined force.

Seeing that the other party dared to resist, Xing became even more excited and used both hands to tickle Serris, alternating hands and tickling faster and faster.

Not to be outdone, Serris reached out and fought back.

The two of them fought faster and faster.

You two are like two fighting cats.

Looking at the two people playing and fighting on the roadside, passers-by couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to be young. I was also..."

The conflict between the children was over as quickly as it came. In just a moment, the two shook hands and made peace. Congratulations, congratulations.

Then, Xing said that Serris was in the way and suggested that he open the map himself.

…………

ten minutes later.

Xing, who was running around in Mantingen, searching for a treasure chest, seemed to have sensed something.

She followed the quest guide (crossed out) instinctively, wandering around in circles, mumbling incomprehensible words like "quest" and "main storyline."

Finally, she made her way to Zouteland Street and saw an old man with gray hair wearing a classical black robe on the side of the street. The old man seemed to have sprained his ankle and was limping when he walked.

Although there was nothing above the old man's head, Xing always felt that he saw a faint blue exclamation mark.

Xing felt like he was hallucinating, as a line of words flashed before his eyes. But it didn't matter, the great pioneer was already accustomed to this kind of situation.

Trigger the task and talk to the old man (0/1)

Xing walked quickly forward, stopped the old man and greeted him: "Hello, grandpa." The old man's name was Neil, and everyone who knew him called him Old Neil.

Old Neil seemed to be having a bit of bad luck today. Perhaps because he stayed up too late studying the occult last night, Old Neil woke up five minutes late this morning, causing him to miss the public bus. He figured since it wasn't far, he might as well walk, but he twisted his ankle just as he was about to reach the office building.

Normally, at this time, he should be sitting in his weapons room, sipping tea and reading the newspaper. But bad luck kept happening one after another, and Old Neil couldn't help but wonder if he'd been praying to the goddess too frequently for her reimbursement of bills lately, causing her to get angry.

At this time, a young girl ran up to him in a hurry to greet him.

Old Neil was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect a stranger to come to him, but he still smiled kindly: "Hello, ma'am. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at the old man in front of her, Xing tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly it dawned on her that the image of Old Neil seemed to overlap with that of someone else.

Then she took out the 10 pounds of pocket money that Cerus had given her that morning and handed it to Old Neil. "I am a Fader. Please tell me what Tops stands for."

Old Neil's brows were obviously twisted together. He frowned and thought for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what the Faders were and what Topps' position was.

He pushed back the gold pound that was being offered to him. "Excuse me, ma'am, I think you have the wrong person. I don't know the Faders, nor do I know what the Topps Stand is."

Old Neil thought for a moment and added, "If you need help," he pointed in two directions, "that's the police station, and that's the church of the Goddess of Night. You can go there for help."

Looking at Xing's clear eyes, Old Neil asked with some concern: "Do you need me to take you there?"

Xing was immediately displeased when the old man in front of her dared to question her and the great pioneers. She raised her right hand and flexed her muscles, indicating that she was in great shape.

Old Neil became even more worried.

Looking at Old Neil's complicated expression, Xing didn't feel embarrassed at all. But she felt the need to prove her strength and bestow her blessings.

She is simply an angel.

Xing did not listen to Old Neil's suggestion to take her to the police station, but instead asked Old Neil where she was going.

Although Old Neil was puzzled, he still told Xing that he was going to Blackthorn Security Company on the second floor of 36 Zouteland Street. This wasn't something that needed to be kept secret. After all, he had worked there for so long that he was familiar with the surrounding shops. Many people knew where he worked.

After getting a clear destination, Xing took a big step forward, hugged Old Neil and put him on his shoulder, turned around and ran towards No. 36 at full speed.

"Ah!" Old Neil was startled and thought he was kidnapped. He was wondering if he had offended someone again and was thinking about his escape plan.

The wind from running whistled past Old Neil, making his hair messy.

But before Old Neil could come up with a solution, Xing had already put him down at the door of the Blackthorn Security Company.

"Ah?" Old Neil's eyes were full of confusion. He touched his body up and down several times to make sure he was not short of weight.

Xing's face was filled with pride, and she patted her chest loudly. "No need to thank me. I, Ms. Sambo, never leave my name behind when I do good things."

After saying that, she turned and ran away. This behavior of doing good deeds without leaving a name is really admirable.

She is simply an angel.

Xing felt extremely refreshed, just like a game that had been idle for a long time suddenly had a mission.

…………

[Accepted the companion mission: "If You Can't Save Her"]

"Huh?" Sierris, squatting on the side of the road chewing an apple, was startled by the sudden appearance of Erha. He brought the apple close to his eyes and examined it carefully. "What the hell, eating it can bring about a companion mission? Is this still an apple?"
