"You know a lot about 'tarot'?" It was rare for Ming Xu to be interested. She leaned her head closer to the pile of documents in Li Xiang's hands. Li Xiang could smell a faint fragrance. He took a few steps back, but Ming Xu leaned in again.
"Not really, just a little bit." Li Xiang didn't dare to reveal anything in front of this girl. He put the stack of documents into his pocket, but his heart was still heavy.
Initially, he did not plan to cross paths with the tarot cards again. However, Bao Jian Ten had come to kill him for no reason, and now, Bao Jian Four had been killed as well. If this organization was as scary in this world, then he had to be extra careful.
However, he had an advantage that no one knew about. In his previous life, he had spent almost ten years to get into the upper echelons of tarot cards. He had a deep understanding of the twenty-two people and many of the mechanisms of tarot cards. As long as there were no changes, it should be effective.
If they continued to cause trouble for him, Li Xiang didn't mind fighting them to the death.
"After causing such a big commotion, people from the military should be here soon. Let's take care of the bodies and leave immediately." Li Xiang was also troubled by the sudden escape of Dong Ling and Lan. He didn't know if their departure and Lu Hai's death would affect the mid-term test's score.
Ming Xu nodded slightly and suddenly said, "Yes, we need to take care of it quickly. After my mission is done, people should be here soon."
She squatted down to help Li Xiang deal with Sword Four's body. Ming Xu was more skilled than Li Xiang. Li Xiang looked at her in surprise. She was stunned for a moment before she lowered her head and continued to deal with the body.
While cleaning up the traces, Li Xiang suddenly found a hard metal box in Sword Four's pocket. He exclaimed in surprise and took it out.
Ming Xu, who had just finished dealing with the body, also looked over.
The structure of this metal box was complicated, and there were very complicated patterns on the outside. Just the outermost part of the box had six mechanical locks, and if the lock was forcefully broken, the contents inside would be directly destroyed.
Li Xiang realized that his X-ray vision could not be used on the inside of the metal box. He could only see the mechanical structure on the outside. Unlocking the six mechanical locks required a lot of time and effort, so he could only temporarily put it in his pocket and take it away with the pile of documents.
If he had the time, he would definitely destroy Sword Four's body. Unfortunately, the bloody battle downstairs had caused quite a commotion, and the soldiers from the military were on their way here. Before they realized the situation at the Twin Lighthouses, Li Xiang grabbed Ming Xu's hand and hurried down the lighthouse.
They quietly left the Twin Lighthouses, and Dong Ling's carriage, which had arrived in time, quickly took the two of them away.
The maid who gave Li Xiang the task sat in the carriage and communicated with Ming Xu in the steam language, but she was always whispering, and Ming Xu kept nodding.
The scenery outside the carriage continued to recede, and Ming Xu's expression never changed. After a while, the maid stopped talking, and then looked at Li Xiang apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Xiang, because of my mistake, your task deviated, but according to the established track, you have successfully completed our expected goal." The maid stood up and bowed slightly. "Now, let's go to the mission settlement."
Li Xiang did not speak, and his mood was slightly better when he heard this. He looked back out of the window. The Hangzhou Steam Station was much more orderly than the Black City Station. Even if something like this happened, the anxiety of the people was quickly calmed down.
The people from the Army rushed to the Twin Lighthouses after subduing the men in the trench coats. Li Xiang was a little worried about the steam pistol that flew out of the clock tower. Unfortunately, the evacuation time was tight, and he had no chance to deal with the aftermath.
After the mission was completed, he would continue to train for the second phase of the Polar night. In the future, if there was no need, he would not come to Hangzhou for the time being.
The carriage quickly left Hangzhou. With Dong Ling's signboard, no one dared to stop it. Ming Xu leaned against the window and took a nap. The maid closed the curtains on both sides after leaving Hangzhou.
Li Xiang also leaned against the window and closed his eyes for a while. He rested while sorting out his thoughts. He had to pay attention to the tarot cards, but the biggest problem was still the Kuang Tie. This guy was trying to kill him. General Shogun was very powerful in the north, and he could even influence the south.
No matter how talented he was, he was just a seedling. If he really had a conflict with them, with the complicated situation of the Army, he would be the one to suffer. As a result, he had to give up on the Army's route that he originally planned to take.
He could not accept going to someone else's territory and being constantly threatened.
Li Xiang decided to set his sights on the Dong Ling family and the Wessex Technology Company. This mission made him realize once again the influence of power on him in the early stages. Just as Old Ghost said, he could not be detached from all this if he was not a player.
It was still necessary to rely on a big power in the early stages.
The carriage rumbled forward and finally came to a stop after a bumpy ride.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu opened their eyes at the same time. The maid got up and opened the door for them. After getting off the carriage, they realized that their destination was still the armory that they had come to before.
As expected, they had to return the equipment first. Li Xiang took out the Poison Fang and the Elemental Gun. Ming Xu waited outside, and the maid led him in to return the equipment.
"Dagger, Poison Fang, Elemental Gun, and Type III Steam-Powered Mobile Device are missing." The maid took the list and tapped it, then smiled. "Mr. Li Xiang, the missing equipment will be deducted from your future resources. Also, the seven hundred and twenty thousand Blue Astral Coins that you borrowed from me will be deducted from your future resources. Will it also be deducted from your future resources?"
The corner of Li Xiang's mouth twitched, and he nodded silently.
"Then that's it." The maid stopped smiling and suddenly leaned in close to him and whispered, "Please perform well in a while. The mission is not completely over yet."
Li Xiang was stunned. He did not understand what she meant. When he looked again, the maid had already walked out of the armory.
It was drizzling outside. Ming Xu hugged his zither case as he sat on the ground. At some point, a black carriage had appeared in the empty space, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from within.
Soft whispers floated into everyone's ears. Li Xiang could not understand the language of steam at all, but based on the respect that the people around him had for the black carriage, he could roughly guess that the person inside was the Dong Ling Clan's noblewoman who had come to the Polar night training camp.
Everyone stood there solemnly. Only Ming Xu ignored them. He sat on the ground in a daze, fiddling with the incomparably exquisite silver Elemental Gun.
The sound came to an abrupt end.
The maid bowed respectfully towards the black carriage, and the people in black around her bowed as well. It was not until a low murmur came from within that they straightened their bodies again.
"Madam said that there are still some finishing touches that she needs Mr. Li Xiang to take care of. If there are no further questions, she will send over the details of our 'Plan One' in a while, as well as the list of resources that the Dong Ling Clan provided for you when you participated in the second phase of the Polar night training. Congratulations." The maid's voice was gentle as she nodded towards Li Xiang with a smile.
Li Xiang nodded and did not say anything.
There were still finishing touches?
