The old man was very happy.

"You are here, the village above..."

"Everything has been resolved."

I told the mountain god everything from beginning to end.

What I couldn't understand was what kind of connection there was between my grandson and the mandrill.

"I don't know about the mandrill, it is not within my protection. But I have some guesses about my grandson."

"I am all ears."

For the doubts in my heart and for my burning gossip soul, I chose to listen to the mountain god's guess.

"Before my grandson disappeared, I dare to guarantee that there were no evil creatures like mandrills on this mountain."

Before he disappeared?

I just remembered that the old man once said that his grandson disappeared on the way back from school!

"The mandrill brought back from school?"

But according to the description in "Wudang Shiyi Lu", mandrills mostly appear in the mountains and forests of Sichuan and Chongqing and other places where few people go.

"Yes, his school is on the next mountain."

The mountain god seemed to have some feelings. After solving my doubts, he showed an embarrassed smile, "After I became a mountain god, my usual fun is to eavesdrop on the conversations between villagers. I heard this information from my grandson himself."

Good guy, everyone has a gossipy heart, even the mountain god.

Three days later, the grandson who woke up from a coma also proved the mountain god's conjecture.

Unlike his cousin who was infected by the black air, the grandson was only in a coma for three days because he lost some of his energy due to possession and was caught under the armpit by the mandrill.

As soon as the grandson woke up, Li Guanhai took him to the ninth inning.

"The mandrill you are talking about is not Xiaoli, right?"

"Xiaoli?"

Li Guanhai and I said in unison.

The Xiaoli mentioned by the eldest grandson is a girl he met in the back mountain of the school.

The eldest grandson's school is on another hill. Because the school is located on the mountain, the transportation is not convenient. In order to be self-sufficient, he enclosed a piece of land in the back mountain to grow vegetables.

Once when he went to the back mountain to grow vegetables, he found Xiaoli who was unconscious.

The eldest grandson brought water and food to Xiaoli, and Xiaoli was very grateful to the eldest grandson.

But when the eldest grandson asked about Xiaoli's background, Xiaoli hesitated and refused to reveal it.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson stopped asking more questions, but every time he came to take care of the vegetables, he could always see Xiaoli's figure.

After a while, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

Although Xiaoli's background was a mystery to the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson was completely devoted to Xiaoli.

One day before going home from school, the eldest grandson suddenly had an idea and wanted to take Xiaoli home with him, and Xiaoli agreed.

But Xiaoli suddenly disappeared. The eldest grandson searched around the back mountain for several times, but couldn't find Xiaoli, so he had to go back to the village alone.

Now that I think about it, Xiaoli was already on him at the time and went back to the village with him.

"It turned out that I harmed the villagers and my grandfather..."

The eldest grandson found it difficult to accept this fact.

"In fact, you can't be blamed for this. Xiaoli didn't want to hurt the villagers at the beginning. If you want to blame someone, blame that alien species!"

I comforted the eldest grandson.

He was carrying the pressure of being the culprit of the village's destruction, and it was not something that I could get rid of with just a few words of advice.

What we can do is to catch the real culprit as soon as possible.

...

Li Guanhai and I went into the meeting room alone and closed the door.

"There are already clues."

"So soon, didn't you say it would take a long time?"

I didn't understand and was shocked.

Is it that the Nine Bureau is too efficient, or is it that the alchemist is too careless?

"I can't help it. Who told me to find out so quickly?" Li Guanhai also had a look of long-awaited experience, "It's like they deliberately put the clues in front of us to lead us to investigate."

Dangerous.

These four words are all I can think of.

I'm not a master, and I've been living under the care of Si Niang and Fusheng.

I had to back off when I was asked to go to a foreign country alone to face the dangers.

"This matter is so dangerous, why don't we just forget it..."

"No!"

I thought Li Guanhai would reject my proposal, but I didn't expect him to reject it so straightforwardly.

"This matter is of great importance. Even if we know there is danger, we have to bravely step forward to investigate!"

Brother, I'm the one who's stepping forward, where's the "we"?

"Considering your lack of experience and lack of contact with foreign countries, we will send an experienced team member to go abroad with you."

Li Guanhai's words implied

What he meant was that I had little education and might starve to death if I didn't speak the language when I went abroad.

But it was good that someone would go with me, so I wouldn't have to be the one to die.

"What about him?"

I didn't have high hopes for my partner.

"She will meet you at the airport tomorrow morning. I will explain the mission to you in detail next."

I leaned forward slightly and listened carefully.

"This alchemist entered the country two weeks ago and left the country immediately on the same day."

"So fast, it seems that he has no good intentions!"

Li Guanhai nodded: "Indeed, the city's surveillance cameras captured the moment when he released the artificial synthetic substance, and the angle seemed to be deliberately for us to see clearly."

"What happened after that?"

"After that, he didn't make any suspicious movements until he left the country. Thanks to his arrogance, we took a photo of his front face."

Li Guanhai sent a screenshot to my mobile phone. The photo showed a bearded man in a black robe, wearing brown wooden-framed glasses, and looked to be in his thirties.

The man in the photo stared at the camera with his big mouth smiling brightly, as if he was provoking.

"He is dressed like this, and no one doubts him?" I pointed at the black robe and asked.

This outfit is not a good person. In movies and TV series, he is either a villain or a cult.

"This... He is free to wear and it is not illegal, but thanks to this outfit, we noticed him first."

As Li Guanhai said, the man's dress and behavior all show that he is very suspicious and hope that we will send someone to investigate him.

"It's hard to say, this appearance is all disguised?"

"That's right, so when you go abroad, remember not to look for people based on appearance alone, be careful not to lose your life."

"What are they trying to do by doing this?"

I don't understand.

"I'm afraid you can only know it when you see him."

For a long time, Daxia and foreign alchemy have kept their distance from each other.

This provocation from the other party may be the beginning of a dispute in the future.

"Okay, I get it. So what country am I going to?"

"It's very close to us, Neon."
