Under a sunhat that was particularly incongruous in the Stellaris, he was wearing huge sunglasses that covered most of his face like that of a tourist.
But she was not wearing a fluttering white dress, but a rather capable woman's suit and leather boots.
The visitor tilted her head and looked at him, looking at his shocked and seemingly frightened expression with a faint smile.
Huai Shi was sluggish for a long time, "Why are you here?"
"Hmm? Let me think. "
Ai Qing thought for a moment and said seriously, "Probably to prove that the boss who blacklisted you because you screwed up the hike is not so cold and heartless, right?"
It's really hard for you to say such a long string of words in one breath!
Huai Shi's eyes widened to defend himself, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that to everyone!"
He quietly calculated in his heart.
He just said one, two, three, four, five … eight times, eight times only!
"…"
Ai Qing didn't speak, just looked at him until Huai Shi put his hands together and sincerely bowed his head to beg for mercy, "Sorry, I was wrong!"
"I feel that this time it's not Yoo Dong-ri who came, which seems to have disappointed you?"
Ai Qing glanced back at the shop, "Or, did I disturb your date with a young girl who is suspected of being in the Good Night Society, which made you have a sense of panic of being caught cheating?"
"Isn't the premise of cheating that I have a girlfriend?"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, "You also found her suspicious?"
"Thanks to an emergency report from someone, all the members of the East Asia No.4 Decision Room had to stay up late last night to check all the 120,000 passengers on the ship. More than 4,000 people were preliminarily classified as suspects."
Ai Qing said, "By the way, I'm one of the people who stayed up late. This woman you're looking at hasn't slept for forty-eight hours, and she has to watch her former subordinate go shopping with the suspect and talk about art. Please be nice to her."
Is there a kind girl who is nicer to a poor man who was blacklisted and abandoned after a failed elopement?
Huai Shi really wanted to say this, but when he thought about how she had actually rushed here for his urgent report after disappearing for so long … To be honest, he was a little touched.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"That's quite sincere of you."
Ai Qing nodded in satisfaction and took a step back. She raised her hand to show the ID in her hand and pointed the golden Astronomy Society badge at his face.
"Inspector Huai Shi from Xin Hai …"
She announced, "Due to your outstanding resume and upright conduct, you have been temporarily recruited by the Central Command. Welcome to the former Dark Army."
Following her words, the projection of the stars representing his military officials quickly appeared above Huai Shi's head. Immediately after, a shadow-like gray edge appeared and adorned the stars.
The Thorny Thorn Emblem, which represented the authority of a field officer, was wrapped around it.
The temporary authority change was completed, which meant that Huai Shi's identity had jumped three levels within the Astronomy Society.
Ai Qing watched as Huai Shi stared at the Star Indicator above her head with a curious expression. Only after he had his fill did Ai Qing wave her hand and disperse the projection.
"From now on, until you get out of the car, you have to listen to my orders. In short, if I tell you to jump out of the car, you will jump out of the car. If I tell you to take the blame, you will take the blame —"
She paused and asked seriously, "You should understand that I'm not making an analogy, right?"
"I'm too familiar with this. I used to do it every day."
Huai Shi sighed. He patted the suit on his body and bowed to Ai Qing. "Your tool, Huai Shi, is online. Do you have any orders, madam?"
"Then, this will be the first order."
Ai Qing raised her hand and pointed to the cigarette in the corner of her mouth. "Light a fire for your boss."
Huai Shi raised his hand, rubbed a wisp of alchemy fire and handed it over. Ai Qing lowered her head slightly, leaned forward, and took a deep breath. The spiraling smoke blurred her face.
"Welcome back." Huai Shi couldn't help but laugh.
Only now did he feel that Ai Qing was close to him.
Ai Qing shook her head. "I'm just passing by. Don't be happy too early."
"What's the specific task?"
"Do what you're supposed to do. Act as yourself and listen to the command when necessary. The work content is the same as before. Be a qualified target."
She took out a box from her pocket and threw it over. "Take this."
"What's this?"
Huai Shi asked casually. "Is this a special product for me? Where did this love token come from? Or is it an engagement ring from someone who has a conscience? Isn't our relationship a bit too fast? I'm only seventeen. I haven't reached the legal age yet … Aiya, should we start by holding hands? "
Through the sunglasses, he could feel Ai Qing's gaze that said, "Son, the whole family is disappointed in you."
"It's just a Bluetooth headset. Don't think too much, okay?"
The box was opened. Inside was a piece of mechanical creation the size of a pinky nail. It was just enough to stick into Huai Shi's ear without attracting attention.
After seeing Huai Shi put it on, Ai Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Now, if you can't control your mouth, I can blow up the bomb in your ear along with your head."
"…"
"It's almost time. You should go back. Next, continue shopping with the suspect." She turned around and waved her hand. "Don't worry. Use your cowherd instincts. I have confidence in you."
"What about you?" Huai Shi asked.
"I still have things to do. See you tonight."
She walked out of the alley. Her figure blurred for a moment and disappeared into the crowd on the street.
It was as if she had never been there.
Only Huai Shi stood in the alley with a deep face, lost in thought.
Was he going to start doing illegal business under the orders of the emperor?
.
Three minutes later.
"Thank you for your guidance."
In front of the shop, Yuan Yuan, who was carrying a piano case, nodded to Huai Shi and said goodbye. "Since I have bought the piano, I won't waste your time."
"Huh? You're leaving? "
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time. He was ready to fight a battle of wits, but he didn't expect that Yuan Yuan would leave. He didn't even have a chance to start illegal business?
She really only bought a piano!
Was she playing hard to get?
You're underestimating me, Yuan Yuan. A true Saint Seiya would never be fooled twice!
Although he thought so, he couldn't help but politely say, "Do you want me to send you back?"
"No, Uncle Ping has already come to pick me up."
Yuan Yuan nodded and looked at the old servant waiting at the corner of the street not far away. She nodded to Huai Shi and said goodbye. "Thank you for your help. Let's say goodbye."
After she turned and walked two steps, she stopped and turned back to ask, "Will Mr. Huai Shi also come back to the banquet tonight?"
Huai Shi spent a long time to remember that she was talking about the invitation letter sent to him by the host of the concert hall.
It seemed that the organizers had specially organized a banquet for the luxury cabin passengers with status on the Stellaris. Originally, he would never miss such an opportunity to eat and drink for free, but after the incident with the Fine Night Society and the Queen of Rotten Dreams, his heart was filled with worries about the safety of the present and the safety of the world.
He was not in the mood to eat and drink.
"Maybe." He replied ambiguously. "There may be other things at that time."
"Then I look forward to seeing you again."
The girl in the gray skirt nodded and said goodbye, then turned and left.
Only the confused Huai Shi was left in the same place, not knowing what was going on.
He wasn't sure if Yuan Yuan had anything to do with the Fine Night Society, but there were still too many mysteries that he couldn't solve, leaving him puzzled.
But when he turned and left, he heard a distant and fragmented voice behind him.
It was like an illusion.
But it made Huai Shi feel like there was a knife on his back.
He stiffened for a moment and turned back abruptly, but he saw nothing.
Only in the depths of the crowd, the slender figure of the girl gradually walked away. Her fluttering gray skirt was swallowed by the crowd and could no longer be seen.
.
.
In the captain's room of the Stellaris.
It was not a narrow and cramped carriage, but more like a glorious and gorgeous palace. Under the exquisite decoration, the rare sunlight shone down from the mimicry window overhead and fell on the desk.
"Someone from the Astronomy Society?"
The dignified old man lowered his head and flipped through the report, looking at the overly young face in the information, and couldn't help but sneer. "After so many years, the Directorate is getting more and more outdated. Any cat or dog can be an inspector …"
With that said, he looked up and ordered his assistant. "Send someone to contact him, tell him to behave and don't make trouble on the bus. There's no need to be rough. Didn't the information say that he has a rotten relationship? Give him a few women and let him have fun happily and get out of the car. "
The assistant nodded and left.
Then, he threw the information into the trash can.
Work continued.
Until the internal phone rang again.
"Mr. Rudolph, a commissioner from the Directorate is here to visit."
"… The Astronomy Society again?"
Rudolph frowned unhappily, but in the end, he adjusted his bow tie, straightened his body in the chair, and said to the internal phone, "Let him in."
"Shall I prepare tea for you, Mr. Rudolph?"
"No need."
The old captain shook his head. "I'm afraid that the person who comes is not someone who can be satisfied with tea. Just don't let anyone disturb us."
The internal phone call was hung up.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
After Rudolph invited the person to come in, it wasn't a stern-looking middle-aged man who pushed the door open. Instead, it was a woman who looked younger than Rudolph had expected.
Only when he took off his sightseeing sunglasses did his sharp eyes give off the feeling of a commissioner of the Directorate of Administration.
Unfortunately, she was still too young.
In this day and age, any random person could criticize his work.
When he thought of the pests on the bus who came to play with women, he became even more unhappy.
He was afraid that this person was not friendly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Rudolph."
The young woman greeted politely. "I hope my arrival did not disturb your afternoon tea time."
"Please sit down, madam." Rudolph pondered for a moment and said, "I believe your purpose is not as simple as afternoon tea, right?"
"Since you asked so directly, I will not beat around the bush —"
Ai Qing sat in the chair and said seriously, "In short, I need your cooperation to perform a search mission on the train."
"Sorry."
Rudolph shook his head and flatly refused. "That's impossible."
