"Are you sure we're on the right track?" Ye Chong asked.
"Err, who knows?" Shang answered irresponsibly.
Ye Chong smiled wryly as he looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. Moving from one unfamiliar environment to another, Ye Chong did not feel much of a difference. It was just that he remembered that Shang did not have a map of the area, and the result of letting Shang lead the way was obvious.
Compared to the Hort District, the Rest District was orderly. The passersby looked relaxed. Ye Chong had been here for a long time, and had not seen a single fight on the streets. If it was the Hort District, it would be unbelievable.
Archaic brick buildings could be seen everywhere, and they were of all different styles and oddities. However, most of them were short, unlike the houses in the Hort District. While they were also brick buildings, the height of 10 to 20 meters was only average, and looked more like a warehouse.
There were many shops on both sides of the street, and the occasional technological product from outside the Orbits could be seen. It was clear that the Orbits was not as isolated as the rumors said.
Most of the shops here were related to mechs. Unlike the Fal galaxy, where one could place an order in the virtual world and have it delivered to one's door, the Orbits seemed to reject such convenient and advanced shopping methods. Instead, it was a very primitive way of shopping on the spot. All the mechs were lined up in a row in the shops, and one could take their time to choose, or even ask to pilot one.
The mechs sold here were more commonly seen in the Five Galaxies, but rarely seen here. Most of them were models that Ye Chong had never seen before, and this piqued his interest. This was the first time Ye Chong saw such a unique style!
However, as Shang urged, Ye Chong could only withdraw his longing gaze.
"Ask for directions?" Ye Chong asked.
"Of course, what if you don't ask for directions when you're lost? Do you have a better idea? "Shang retorted sarcastically.
"No!" Ye Chong answered straightforwardly.
"Eh, Ye, look 30 degrees to your left! Wow, what a great body! And you're wearing a mask? Hehe, a mere mask can't stop me! "Ye Chong could tell from his tone that Shang was extremely excited.
30 degrees to his left, Ye Chong shifted his gaze.
"What can I see?" Ye Chong muttered to himself. The person was completely covered in a purple robe, and her face was also covered by a mask. Only the faint rise and fall of her body could tell that it was a woman.
"What do you know?" Shang said disdainfully, "Any woman of the highest quality will naturally have an air of elegance and elegance when she stands there! Sigh, talking to you about this is like talking to a cow! Let me scan it first! "
"Hmm, you're already showing off just by standing there? Could it be his aura? Wasn't this something only a master could do? Could it be that the best women are all experts? "Ye Chong thought hard.
"Ahem, ahem …" Shang, who was scanning, was confused by Ye Chong's words. "Err, Ye, your imagination is not bad at all!"
Ye Chong was confused, but he knew that he must have said something wrong.
"Eh! Isn't this Feng Su? "Shang was shocked." Why is she here? "
"Who's Feng Su?" Ye Chong asked.
"Heavens! Yezi, you don't know about Feng Su? How sad, how sad, this kind of life is so boring. Feng Su was the most popular female celebrity in Fal! She was the female celebrity with the highest net worth! She was also the most mysterious female celebrity! Tsk tsk, I'm her most loyal fan. Back in the day, when she sang her masterpiece, the entire audience was silent for 15 minutes. This grand occasion was unprecedented! What? Ye, you don't even know this? As expected, you've long been influenced by Mu into a beast, how despicable! Looks like the responsibility of teaching you will fall on me! Hehe … "Shang teased.
Ye Chong knew that once Shang fell into this state, he would not be able to recover in a few minutes.
Shang suddenly shouted, "Ye, didn't we want to ask for directions? Go ask her! Hehe, Ye, this is a great opportunity I've created for you! Sigh, too bad there's no photon processor here, or else I'll show you her beauty, and you'll fall head over heels in love with her! She's the dream lover of countless young boys! Hehe, I still have the standard measurements from the scan just now. This is first-hand information, compared to those in the virtual world, the accuracy is definitely on a different level! "Shang's words were full of temptation.
Ye Chong was unmoved. "Not interested! Why ask her? Besides, if she's a celebrity and she's here, don't you think it's strange? Something must be wrong! "
Shang was surprised. "Ye, you've become smarter now! Hmm, you're right, it's a little strange, why would she come here, no wonder she's so mysterious! Sigh, Ye, there must be something strange here, then all the more we should investigate, maybe we can get some exclusive secrets! "
"Shang, it's not worth our time to waste on this, we have more important things to do!" Ye Chong was dissatisfied.
Shang could not help but grumble, "We're only going to ask for directions, how much time will we waste?"
Ye Chong thought for a moment, and walked towards the direction of Feng Su. "Hello, do you know how to get to 22nd Street?" Ye Chong asked the woman, whose face was covered, Feng Su.
Feng Su turned around and studied the young man who asked for directions. He was calm, but could not hide the coldness in him.
Feng Su opened her mouth. Her voice was soft and misty. "Oh, Route 22. Go straight from here until you reach the third intersection. Then, turn right for about five minutes and you'll be there!" It was just a simple sentence, but her voice was so soft and gentle that it made people's hearts flutter!
Obviously, the woman's grasp of the melody surprised Ye Chong. He paused for a moment, but recovered quickly, "Oh, thank you!" He turned and left.
"Shang, are you satisfied now?" While he did not understand why Shang would be interested in this, he would try his best to satisfy the man's request as long as it was within his capabilities! Shang did not respond for a long time.
"Shang, what's wrong?" Ye Chong asked curiously. Did he crash just from the sound? Probably not.
"Wow, that's beautiful! Heavenly sound! Heavenly sound! Heavens, there's actually such a beautiful sound in the world! Ye, don't you feel anything? "Shang was so excited!
"Hmm, not bad!" Ye Chong said plainly.
"How about, Ye, let's go talk to her again. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, one in a hundred years, oh no, one in a thousand years! Ye, let's go one more time, please? Just one more time! "Shang begged.
Ye Chong was unmoved, "We're going to 22nd Street now!"
Shang knew Ye Chong's character, and muttered, "Sigh, you've never seen her holographic image, or else you'd fall head over heels in love with her! Hmm, but … That's not always the case, your request is different from the others! Hah, I know, Ye, don't tell me you're still secretly in love with the girl in the white training garb? "
"Nonsense!" Ye Chong retorted, but he could not help but think of the white silhouette floating in front of his eyes, as if he could smell the strange fragrance and the lingering silkiness at the tip of his tongue. Suddenly, he felt his blood boiling in his chest. Ye Chong knew something was wrong, and quickly suppressed his thoughts to calm down.
"Haha, Ye, it must be, you can't hide it from me. Your brain waves just now were 30% stronger than usual, and your heart was beating faster, so was your blood flow! Hmm, but that girl is not bad, too bad we can't return to Blue Ocean anytime soon, she said she's going to marry you! But Ye, don't give up the whole forest for a tree, compared to Feng Su, that girl is still lacking! Hehe … "Shang snickered as he did not forget to insult Ye Chong.
Ye Chong rolled his eyes and followed Feng Su's directions to 22nd Street, ignoring Shang's complaints in his mind.
Number 103, 22nd Street!
This was the address given to him by Jia Zhuo. An accomplished mentalist lived here, and also Ye Chong and Shang's target! Ye Chong spent a lot of effort to find the mentalist's house. It was far from the main road of 22nd Street, in a secluded grove.
It was a low, retro style brick and wood house, with many wind chimes hanging under the slanted eaves. Whenever there was a slight breeze, the melodious tinkling of the bells would rise and fall. The window on the second floor was slightly open, but not tightly shut. The house was surrounded by a large grove, and it was obvious that the mentalist did not like to be disturbed! However, this gave Ye Chong a great deal of convenience, enough for him to do the deed without worry.
"Shang, do you have any good suggestions?" Ye Chong asked.
"Hmm, you better act as soon as possible. We know too little about mentalists, we don't know what kind of strange attacks they have. He's on the second floor now, too bad the house is too small, I can't even enter, or I might be able to help! " Shang was serious now, like a completely different person from before. Hmm, more like two PSI!
"Hmm, makes sense!" Ye Chong agreed. Mentalists were too mysterious. Jia Zhuo's Qing Xin alone was unbelievable to Ye Chong, and he was quite wary of mentalists!
"Oh, by the way, we usually have to wear a black scarf when robbing, in case someone recognizes us in the future!" Shang reminded.
"There's such a thing? Where did you hear about it? "Ye Chong asked curiously.
"From the movies, of course, all robbers wear this!" Shang said matter-of-factly.
Ye Chong could not find a black mask no matter how hard he tried. Fortunately, the mask with serial number F-58, which he used to wear in Black Cove, was always in his waist pouch. It was much more practical than any black mask. It's been a long time since I last used it. Ye Chong touched the black mask on his face gently, his mind full of thoughts.
"Did you bring that thing?" Shang reminded.
"Hmm!" Ye Chong shook his wrist.
Ye Chong was as agile as a leopard, and climbed to the second floor, while Shang hid in the grove outside, in case of an emergency.
The wind chimes hanging on the eaves muffled the noise Ye Chong brought.
Ye Chong scanned the interior of the house. Other than some necessary wooden tables and chairs, there were no other decorations. The entire second floor was made entirely of wood. Ye Chong did not have time to wonder how much it would cost outside, he could only try his best not to squeak when he stepped on it.
There was only one room on the second floor, but the door was shut tight. The guy must be inside!
"Who is it, how dare you trespass my house!" The sinister voice rang in Ye Chong's mind. At the same time, the wooden door creaked open, and an old man stared at Ye Chong with a dark expression. Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat!
When the old man spoke, Ye Chong knew something was wrong. Just as the wooden door opened a little, Ye Chong saw the old man sitting opposite the door.
Before he could react, Ye Chong felt his body sink, as if filled with lead, and his vision blurred. In his shock, Ye Chong did not have time to think, and used all his strength to twist his wrist!
The movement seemed to have drained Ye Chong's stamina. Ye Chong could no longer resist the force binding him, and fell to the ground with a thud. Ye Chong felt the world spinning around him, and the colorful halos left him in a daze.
Then there was another thud, and he heard the old man's scream.
Ye Chong felt his body lighten, and the force binding him was gone! After a few minutes, Ye Chong's vision returned to normal!
Ye Chong struggled to get up from the ground. His muscles were still trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat was dripping down his back.
The old man was tied up like a coconut, and could not move at all. He did not stop cursing, and shouted fiercely, "Who are you? I am a mentalist, do you know what you are doing? Attacking a mentalist, you will be hunted by the Sanctuary for eternity! " Then his tone changed, "I am a reasonable person, if you need any help, as long as you let me go, and we can talk peacefully, I will help you! You know … "
Ye Chong ignored him, and moved his limbs, feeling lucky in his heart! What Ye Chong shook out was a thin rope with two heavy objects attached at both ends. This was Shang's idea. Once the rope was shaken and spun, it would entangle anything it touched. Ye Chong's strength was astounding. The two heavy objects may not be big, but they were heavy. Ye Chong shook them out, and once they touched the old man, they immediately entangled him! His attack was interrupted, and Ye Chong regained his freedom!
"What a strong mentalist!" If he did not react fast enough, he would have become a helpless captive! Ye Chong could not help but shudder!
The old man had an aquiline nose and eyes, and his eyes flickered as he cursed incessantly.
Ye Chong did not plan to respond. He grabbed the old man and jumped out of the window. Interrogation was a job for Shang!
