The Riddler Get Out of Terra

——Hao Wenyuan]

Wei Yanwu gently put down the thin envelope in his hand, was silent for a while, and lay down on the hard chair as if he was exhausted.

This is his personal habit. In order to avoid wasting time lying on soft chairs, the chairs in the Government Affairs Bureau are all hardwood chairs. There is no serious problem in a short period of time. However, long-term use has the same symptoms as stiff neck, and it also comes with the debuff of back pain.

Wen Yue, who was wearing a traditional Yanguo cloak beside her, picked up the letter and read every word in the letter carefully under the warm morning sun.

"Wen Yuan is leaving?"

Even though she was well-informed, Wen Yue couldn't help but be surprised by Hao Zhao's determination:

"But he did his best in Xiacheng District. Almost everyone supports him to integrate into Longmen. How could he..."

"Is someone secretly slandering him?"

Wen Yue subconsciously began to think about whether those civil servants in Longmen Shangcheng District had done something - Hao Zhao was too good, so good that as long as he existed for one day, the fig leaf of many people in Longmen would be nakedly lifted, and they were incompetent and stupid. The truth can no longer be concealed.

Could it be because someone was secretly trying to drive Hao Zhao away?

The noble man from the Eastern Kingdom who married into Longmen briefly went through the intricate interpersonal context of Longmen's political situation in his mind. He was about to guess which group of people was behind the plot, but was overturned by Wen Yue herself in the next second:

"No, Wen Yuan is not a person who will be bound by rules at all. He will not accept it if he is really wronged. Even if he breaks his face in front of everyone in the Guards Bureau, it doesn't matter to him. How can anyone dare to exclude him?"

"So...he wants to leave on his own?"

Wen Yue's reasoning to herself was of course not meant for her to hear. Wei Yanwu, who was lying on the hardwood chair with his eyes closed for a while, waved and took out the paper bag Hao Zhao had prepared separately from under his desk.

"Let's see, Wenyue, Hao Wenyuan... is also a person with his own pursuits."

Qilin Ancestor glanced at her husband, then opened the brown hard paper bag and took out the resignation information that Hao Zhao had filled out long ago:

[Mr. Wei, hello, Mrs. Wenyue, I am Hao Wenyuan.

As of today, Wen Yuan has been working as an officer of the Guards Bureau in Longmen for more than half a year. Now that I think about it carefully, I have done a lot of ridiculous things. I have also done some things to share the worries of Duke Wei and his wife. I have gained a lot of insights. .

But... there are still many things that cannot be answered in Longmen, and there are still many sufferings that cannot be escaped, which are still circulating in this ancient land, ebbing and flowing, but never drying up.

Wen Yuan came out of a remote town in Dayan and came to Longmen. He also swam through the mountains and rivers of Dayan with a few friends. Compared with the past recorded in history books and the town where Wenyuan was born, Dayan has indeed become better. It has improved a lot and allowed more people to survive with food, clothing and clothing.

But Wenyuan always felt that something was wrong, and there were always some words stuck in his heart that he could not speak out. There were more fundamental shortcomings that were always there, but they were always covered up in various ways, and people who suffered from these difficulties were unwilling to speak out. Even muddle along.

This kind of thing is very common, and it is also very common on the land of Terra, but young people's blood is hard to cool down, and Wen Yuan always wants to find the answer, find the essence, and be able to speak out what is being held back in his heart.

Therefore, I want to resign from the Guards Bureau and continue to search for Dayan to complete the things that I have been unable to say and cannot be believed.

I also hope Wei Gong Haihan. 】

"Is he still an idealist?"

Wen Yue's eyes softened and she looked at the new handwriting, which was clearly written after careful consideration many times recently. One of the leaders who ruled the entire Dragon Gate smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, idealist."

Wei Yanwu quietly raised his neck and stared at the tall buildings in the distance shining in the sun.

Who was not?

In front of the governance gantry, who of the two people sitting in this room is not an idealist with a burning heart?

Edward, Lin Gerui, Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue... the people who gathered in Longmen to fight against the famous Ursus monster, who didn't want to build a paradise in Longmen with sincerity?

It's just... After all, the world does not revolve around a few people. The foundation of the paradise requires thousands of times more blood, tears and fatigue to build. Idealists cannot compete with reality. They have to face more suffering than they imagined, and they have lost more. I felt more empty than I expected, heart-wrenchingly empty, and what I got was far from enough.

When Zhuge Kongming came to Longmen for the first time, he pointed out the country, praised the words, and talked about how the bomb in the lower city of Longmen would destroy all Wei Yanwu's hard work after it was detonated. He even laughed at Old Wei himself as an old man with insufficient talent and energy. people.

But in this land where there is no hope, Longmen has become a utopia that many people can't even imagine.

Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue couldn't possibly ignore the fact that there were people among the younger generation who could think like they did in the past. Hao Zhao had already established a firm foothold in Longmen. With the springboard of Xiacheng District, he would be able to move into Longmen's political situation and influence the political situation.

But at this moment in full swing, Hao Wenyuan actually found a successor early, and even trained him for more than two months in advance. He tried his best to cut it off and destroy his irreplaceable position bit by bit...

Either this person has no ambitions and just wants to live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and a little good stuff will satisfy him, or...

He had endless compassion and expectations in his heart. He was so compassionate that he couldn't settle down in Longmen. He was so hopeful that he was willing to give up Longmen, which was considered fair treatment in the Yan Kingdom, and go to the land of Dayan to find an answer.

Lao Wei and Wen Yue looked at each other, and the two idealists, both passionate and cold-blooded, saw a familiar light in each other's eyes.

But... here comes the problem.

"Why didn't you agree?"

Wenyue put away the letter submitted by Hao Zhao and asked her tired husband.

"You also know, Hui Jie...sigh——"

The old dragon seemed to have aged more than 50 years, and the stern face of the Dragon Gate ruler was extremely tired.

"Isn't there yet..."

Wenyue wanted to speak but stopped.

Wei Yanwu smiled like he was crying. It was hard to believe that the dragon's face with protruding bones of the ancestors could still show such an expression. However, what happened a month ago was so urgent that just recalling it, the old dragon said it from the bottom of his heart. Anxious.

"I plan to talk to Wenyuan."

He finally made up his mind.

Chapter 54 Side Quests

"Come on, Wenyuan, try it. This is refined tea produced only in Shang Shu. Non-distinguished guests are not allowed to drink it in the mountain city teahouse. I have traveled there, and I have won the favor of the teahouse owner. I got a few cans, and you can try it too. .”

In Duke Wei's office at the Longmen Government Affairs Department, Hao Zhao sat on the coffee table where Wei Yanwu was meeting guests, with his back straight, and while thanking him, he took the tea that Duke Wei of Longmen had cooked himself.

As soon as Fang got it, Hao Zhao couldn't help but admire:

"It's really a good tea, worthy of being a product of Sichuan."

The tea soup in the tea cup is red and clear, with a fragrant aroma. The hot steam carries a clear and delicate taste, wandering in the nasal cavity, which can be called pure and elegant.

"My friends and I wandered around the Yan Kingdom for a while. Sometimes we went into the town and went to the Big Bowl Tea Shop to drink a little tasteless tea. Sometimes we had no contact and had to live in the wild and boil water to drink.

"Shang Shu has been there too, and had a banquet given by owner Du of the mountain city teahouse to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

"Boss Du is a very particular person. We were scratching our heads and wanted to give some gifts, but we were short of money, but we didn't expect the old man to directly invite us in. He didn't look down on him at all. Drinking it with tea now feels like it was yesterday."

Hao Zhaofu grinds the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand. Wei Yanwu deserves to be born in a famous family in the Yan Kingdom. He is experienced and skilled in the method of making tea. Three awakenings and three scaldings are extremely standard. When it comes to boiling tea, boiling tea, and frying tea, they are all in line with the etiquette of the Yan Kingdom. His movements are graceful and graceful. Just making tea is an audio-visual enjoyment.

He even used Origin Stone spells to control the temperature of the tea. When Hao Zhao took it, the warm tea was ready to drink, so the orange cat took a sip in front of Wei Gong unceremoniously.

"It's a little bitter, but the aftertaste is long - well, why does it look so much like the tea brewed by the master at Boss Du's Shancheng Tea House?"

The orange cat commented subconsciously. It took a moment to realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly looked at Mr. Wei, only to find that the old dragon was not angry at all, but was actually quite happy:

"It seems that my tea skills are getting better and better, and I can actually compete with that old master!"

"You also know Master Li?" Hao Zhao's eyes widened.

"I do know that my current tea-making skills were mastered by Master Li himself back then. It has been almost ten years now."

Thinking of the teahouse in Shang Shu, Old Wei smiled.

Of course, Hao Zhao could not have started traveling ten years ago. He and Wei Yanwu were almost ten years apart in time, but they arrived at the same place again in space, walked the same mountain road, walked the same stone street, and even drank The same delicious tea brewed by the master chef himself...

...

The wonder of the word fate made Wei Yanwu stunned. After a moment, he shook his head as if he was mocking himself:

Why do you suddenly feel sad for spring and autumn?Are you really old?

"That's it! If I have a chance to pass by Shang Shu in the future, I will definitely tell Master Li! Tell him that Mr. Wei, your tea skills have not fallen behind after all these years!"

Hao Zhao noticed Wei Yanwu's sadness and said very insightfully.

Sure enough, being distracted by Orange Cat's words, Wei Yanwu's bleak and vicissitudes of life disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the appearance of the leader of Longmen.

"Forget it," he refused with a smile: "Back then, I spent two days fishing and three days drying the nets. Master Li was so angry that I was so angry. If you let him know that my half bucket of water is not as good as yours. Show off, I’m afraid the old man will take his family from Shang Shu to Longmen to quarrel with me.”

"By the way, Wen Yuan, when I first went to Shang Shu, I heard a tea guest tell some stories about what happened in the north and south of the world. Among them was a record of a good man who turned into a murderer because of his inner strength practice.

"I was young and vigorous at that time, and I had also practiced the secret inner strength of Great Yan, and I argued with him for a long time. You have been successful in practicing inner strength, but have you ever seen anything like this?"

Although the turn was a bit abrupt, Wei Yanwu still turned the topic in another direction. Hao Zhao took a sip of tea to sort out his words and secretly glanced at Wei Yanwu's state.

In the spiritual vision of [Light in the Eyes], when Lao Long talks about the story that happened in Shang Shu, his mental state is completely opposite to Feng Danyun Qing’s external performance. Especially when it comes to being possessed by demons, the mental body symbolizes tension, uneasiness, and excitement. The color has expanded to occupy half of the mental body.

He didn't seem to invite the orange cat here because of Hao Zhao's resignation. Instead, he was more interested in the demon in his inner energy. Could it be that there was something unspeakable?

The orange cat couldn't help but think of the long-lasting black airflow in Chen's mansion. When it spread to Xiacheng District, even if it had faded to the point where only a little bit of black settled in the air, the crime rate in the entire Xiacheng District had increased by more than [-]%. .

Could that be obsession?

Hao Zhao couldn't help but become interested: in the past month, whether Wei Yanwu had his own method or Chen was determined and stepped out in time, the black air flow had gradually faded away.

This land seemed to deliberately repel the malice emanating from the possessed. Hao Zhao used [Light in the Eyes] to see that subtle spiritual energy and demonic energy reactions were spreading throughout the entire Mansu, tearing and destroying this thing bit by bit. , annihilated in the invisible, knowing that this thing is never easy to mess with.

Wei Yanwu actually has a way to suppress the black energy?

Has Yan Guo's exploration over the years actually yielded good results?Obviously, they don’t even realize what Mansu and psychic energy are...

The orange cat rolled his eyes, and the minimum speed of [Length Overclocking] was turned on, allowing him to observe Wei Yanwu's expression more carefully.

It doesn't look like he's informed.

"I'm from a mountain village, so I don't know much about the drawbacks of inner energy cultivation," Hao Zhao smiled sheepishly: "I only heard from my master that people who practice magic will have a drastically changed temperament and become cruel and bloodthirsty. There will still be illusions of demons that deceive people's minds, and they must be restrained with a strong spiritual state."

"Or maybe you are practicing orthodox internal skills and are so eager for success that you go crazy. Either you have bad luck and become paralyzed and die, or you lose your mind and become a murderer. I don't know which one you are talking about?"

Seeing Hao Zhaoming thinking hard, Wei Yanwu had some thoughts in his mind.

Chapter 55 Side Quests

The sun had just reached noon when Hao Zhao left Wei Yanwu's office. The location of Longmen was close to Kazdare, and the climate was naturally not much different from that of Sakaz's hometown - it was hot almost all year round.

Hao Zhao's shadow shrank into a small, pitch-black ball in the sunlight filtering through the Government Affairs Hall, swooping back and forth with the movement of the orange cat's strong long legs.

What Wei Yanwu hopes Hao Zhao will do after he leaves can be summed up in these few sentences:

[Ding, hello, you have a new side mission arriving in your account, please receive it in time~]

[Mission goal: rescue Inspector Chen Sir]

[Task Conditions: Reach Revered in Longmen’s reputation and join the force Longmen]

[Mission content: Perhaps because of obsession, perhaps because of being unable to face it, Miss Chen, the inspector of Longmen Shangcheng District, disappeared from her mansion for well-known reasons. According to Hei Li's investigation, Miss Chen has left Longmen and wandered around Yanguo.

Her method was inexplicably several times stronger, and her disguise was so perfect that even the surveillance cameras set up by Longmen at the entrance and exit couldn't capture Ms. Long's figure - of course, if Hei Lai sent out a large number of carpet patrols, Sir Chen still wouldn't be able to escape. .

However, it goes without saying that Longmen Heiwei, as a well-known Longmen force among the top leaders of the Yan Kingdom, would send out a large number of people. They could only send out a small number of elites to look at the vast land, looking for a glimmer of hope.

At this time, you, who were about to leave Longmen to travel to Great Yan, came into the sight of Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen. In the Baiwu incident, your single-handed approach was so heroic and cautious that you firmly suppressed the leader, ability and character of a Yan army. Obtained the dual recognition of the Rat King and the Black Capsule.

In this case, why not invite Mr. Hao Wenyuan to participate in the search?Chen still favors your promotion. As Mr. Hao Wenyuan is the former director of the Xiacheng District Guards Bureau, he will definitely agree to such a thing, right?

But they don’t know what kind of person Hao Zhao is secretly...]

[Task requirement: Find Chen, find

At the end... (a burst of malicious laughter)]

[Task reward: Hmm...maybe it's the friendship with the senior officials of Longmen?Maybe a hilarious adventure?Maybe a journey to find your soul?None of this matters, after all, Hao Wenyuan is Hao Wenyuan, right? 】

【…】

[If you really have nothing to do, I can contact Evil and ask her to invite Nian Beast to chat with you instead of playing the system in my ears. 】

Hao Zhao walked out of the Government Affairs Office building with an expressionless face. The black coops hidden in the darkness may be invisible to many people, but to Hao Zhao, who has an amazing spiritual sense after practicing inner energy, their existence is like black on a white cloth. The points are equally clear.

The heat is high, the soul is not matter, the existence of Hei Li is so much beyond ordinary people that even if they are hidden in the crowd, Hao Zhao can still see that extremely aloof soul standing out from the crowd.

【Eh?Really?Well, thank you very much. How about you contact Vicious now and ask her to call Anian out? 】

Kong Ming's voice of pretense of surprise sounded teasingly in the private passage of the Spiritual Energy Sea, and Hao Zhao couldn't help but frown:

[What happened to the alloy department?The matter was so big that Nian Beast was involved? 】

[Colombia’s consciousness metal has been obtained by Klein, and he has also found a good Li Boli as a companion there! 】

【...A living person? 】

【?Why have such unrealistic fantasies?Xiao Ke always looks for scumbags and bastards to be his secret puppets. Will Li Boli be a good thing if he can take his fancy? 】

[…Forget it, let’s talk about my going to Yan Country to look for opportunities. Do you have the space ability Feather?Please share his ability formula with me as soon as possible. 】

[Do you want something more powerful? 】

【who? 】

[Leisan can throw things from the present into the future. In other words, if you maintain the ability, you can make your luggage exist in the future. When you want to access it, you can call it out by canceling the ability~]
