Chapter 3346: Meeting the Rice God Again
Lip reading is generally not a big skill.
But it depends on the situation.
There are many races in the White Mirror Domain, including human, beast, strange... and even gas. With so many races, even if they speak the same language, their voice positions are different, and the lip readings presented are completely different.
For example, there is a kind of snake-like person, which makes sounds by spitting out microwaves in the air.
Different snake-like people have different body sizes and different lengths of snake tongues, and the sound position of microwaves is also changing.
The lip reading it uses is really hard for ordinary people to read.
Even if Laplace is asked to go, it is estimated that he will have a headache.
But Angel clearly saw that more than one investigator and staff in the Wanshiwu were watching the display of the snake-like people, and they were watching with relish, which means that they are likely to understand the lip reading of the snake-like people.
It must be said that the investigators and staff of the Wanshiwu are very professional.
From this detail, we can also see that in terms of intelligence search, Wanshiwu is definitely the leader in Bairijingyu.
As Angel sighed, a tall man in a burgundy tuxedo seemed to notice his sight and turned to look at them.
Judging from his uniform, this person should be a staff member of the Affairs Office.
He hesitated for a moment, as if he was guessing whether Angel and others were the client. After a few seconds, he gave up the wonderful show on the sub-display stand and strode towards Angel and others, smiling and asking if they needed help.
Angel was about to wave his hand to send him away, but Sibolov on the side stood up: "I need help."
Angel glanced at Sibolov, did not interrupt him, and let him go forward.
Angel and Laplace stood aside.
Sibolov walked to the staff, gently leaned over, and whispered a few words in the other's ear.
The staff member was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, as if he had heard some embarrassing request, and did not give an answer for a long time; until Sibolov repeatedly gave assurances, he nodded hesitantly: "Well... OK, please wait a moment."
After the staff member finished speaking, he walked aside.
Only then did Sibolov turn around and show an apologetic expression to Angel and Laplace.
Laplace did not say anything, and Angel nodded to show his understanding.
Although Sibolov and the staff were whispering just now, they did not deliberately cover up the sound. With Angel and Laplace's hearing, they naturally heard Sibolov's words.
What he said to the staff was actually to ask the staff to help check the door outside the Wanshiwu.
To see if his "childhood sweetheart" Ksenia was "guarding" him outside.
At the beginning, Sibolov came to the Wanshiwu, in addition to placing a commission, another important reason was to avoid Ksenia, the enthusiastic "pursuer".
Even though Sipolov rejected Ksenia more than once, either tactfully or directly, she seemed like a piece of plasticine that could not be shaken off, and she stuck to him tightly. It seemed that he was sure that Lie Lang was afraid of clinging women.
Sipolov was helpless about this, and he really couldn't have any feelings for Ksenia. But due to Ksenia's special status, Sipolov didn't dare to "make too much noise" with her, so he could only find a way to separate from her. Wherever she went, Sipolov would escape to another place and refused to see her.
Previously, Sipolov learned from Angel that Uncle Ku and Angel said that he and Ksenia would wait for Sipolov at the door of the Wanshiwu.
Therefore, Sipolov asked the staff of the Affairs Office to help check whether Ksenia was still waiting at the door.
Because helping to check people has actually crossed the edge of the rules of the Yorozuya, the staff hesitated whether to help... In the end, Sibolov said that he had just come out of the butler's house of the ghost butler and the dog butler, and he submitted an extremely secret commission, which is likely to be coveted by others. With the excuse of "You don't want me, the client, to have any problems", the staff hesitated again and again, and finally chose to help Sibolov.
It still took some time for the staff to confirm whether there was anyone at the door of the Yorozuya. While waiting, Angel looked at Sibolov: "By the way, this exhibition lasted for such a long time. If Ksenia is really still waiting for you at the door, it is actually very difficult."
At least from the surface, it is quite sincere.
After hearing this, Sibolov shook his head quickly: "No, in my opinion, this is not a question of 'sincerity', but a very crazy behavior."
Sibolov hesitated for a moment and continued to say to Angel: "This kind of crazy thing happened more than once. For example, I slept well in the hut of the military camp. When I woke up in the morning, a woman suddenly sat beside the bed and told me in a loving tone that she had prepared breakfast for me. Her heart fire even got into my quilt."
"And this woman is Ksenia."
"Also, my comrades and I went to the camp cafeteria to eat. The plates served were normal for others, but mine was custom-made with gold. The food in it was all exquisite and extraordinary ingredients. The reason is that she bribed the chef of the cafeteria and sent these meals from the luxury hotel in the capital."
"Also, when I was training, she replaced the water in my kettle with frost flower dew..."
Sipolov kept talking about various examples, several in a row, and then he looked up at Angel: "Sir, you can take on my role. When you are in this kind of chase, you will feel Happy?"
Angel: "..." He just mentioned it casually, and why did he enter the stage of role substitution?
However, as far as Angel is concerned, these are not big things.
But if she were to change positions, Angel would feel a little suffocated, and the things she did were a bit of an invasion of privacy, which was offensive.
But if I really like Ksenia, I think I can forgive the things she did, even if they were out of line.
Angel expressed his thoughts, and Sipolov sighed: "But the point is, I have rejected her many times."
In this case, she still got involved, and thought she had done a lot of good things for Sipolov... But in Sipolov's view, this was an invasion of privacy and just self-impression.
It's hard for Angel to comment on this. After all, he has no experience in relationships, let alone... Well, that's not right, he has actually encountered similar things.
When he was still living in Gru Town, his personal maid Ollie once mentioned that there were many fragrant love letters sent to Angel in the mailbox.
And Angel was unaware of this. The reason was that... they were all taken away by his brother Leon. The reason given was that he was too young to see these things and would wait until he grew up.
At that time, Angel was only eleven or twelve years old, so this was of course meaningless.
But later Angel entered the wizarding world, and naturally there was no follow-up to the love letter incident.
In addition, after Angel became an alchemist, he also heard that there were people who were madly in love with him. In order to pursue him, he even lived in the apprentice town house that he once rented.
But Angel has never met any of these crazy suitors in real life. The reason is... At that time, he lived on the Magic Island, and outsiders could not enter at all. Later, he lived in the ruins outside and had less contact with people.
In short, Angel also has suitors, but they are all passively isolated. The underlying reason is the status gap.
There are really no suitors with similar status.
Thinking of this, Angel had some sympathy for Sipolov's experience. He and Ksenia were in the stratosphere, with similar status and status. If there was affection between them, even their elders would be happy to see it. .
In this case, Ksenia was still a crazy suitor, and Sipolov really suffered.
But even so, Kseniya was able to break into Sipolov's house in the middle of the night in the military camp without anyone stopping him, which was really too much.
Sipolov sighed: "She did break into my room that time, and she did receive certain punishments afterwards, but these punishments were not big for her. The main thing is that Admiral Oleg is not easy to offend. She is special because of her identity.”
As for how special it was, Sipolov did not continue to talk, but his expression became more and more helpless.
Sometimes, he was forced by Ksenia to give up his identity and simply leave the Ice Kingdom to go to a free new world... But the honor of his family and the code of knights prevented him from making such an outrageous decision.
All he can do now is stay away from Ksenia through various methods.
When Sipolov felt helpless, a staff member wearing a burgundy tuxedo finally came over: "Sir, we have confirmed that the lady you mentioned is not at the door."
After a pause, the staff added: "According to the information we received, the lady was indeed at the door of Wanshiwuwu at the beginning, but about half an hour ago, when the Changhuo tribe came on stage to demonstrate, she was raped by a Yingji The clan men took it away.”
After the staff member finished speaking, he bowed to Sipolov and left.
After listening to the staff's explanation, Sipolov breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that we have left..."
Then, Sipolov, who had no psychological hindrance, and Angel and others began to walk towards the outside of the affairs office.
The next step is to go from the affairs office to the reception desk, and then leave from the reception desk. This process requires going through two long corridors.
On the way away, Sipolov said with some emotion: "The one who took Ksenia away should be...Uncle Ku. Only Uncle Ku can stop her unreasonable troubles."
Angel: "From your tone, Uncle Ku's identity seems to be very unusual?"
Before, he always thought that Uncle Ku was a steward or servant of the Kseniya family, because his previous conversation with Angel gave people the appearance of a "talker"; but listening to Sipolov's tone, this Uncle Ku doesn’t seem to be like this?
Sipolov nodded slightly: "Uncle Ku's identity is even more special than Kseniya's. I am not qualified to mention the specific identity."
To put it simply, it is a military secret.
Angel understood and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic: "The Changhuo clan came on stage, and Uncle Ku took Ksenia away. It seems that it was also because of "Broken Mirror and Broken Barrier"."
Sipolov also nodded and said: "That should be the case. No one thought that the biggest highlight of this exhibition would be the Changhuo clan..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sipolov seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added, "Also, Mengjing's login device is also another big hit."
Angel shook his head and chuckled: "No need to deliberately add this sentence."
Sipolov scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Angel didn't care about this. It wouldn't take long to find out whether the login device was good or not.
Now, the sudden arrival of the Secret Secretary Dragon, and its interest in the Login Device... This also makes many plans happen ahead of time.
For example, the matter of the Hell Puppet Hulifa was originally planned to be discussed after the party when Gleipnir went to the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons; but now it has been communicated with the Secret Secretary Dragon.
With the insight and action of the Secret Secretary Dragon, it is estimated that it will not take long for the leaders of all tribes to know about this matter.
At that time, the Login Device will be the core of the plan to deal with the Hell Puppet, and it will inevitably enter the vision of all tribes.
Therefore, Angell does not mind the reputation of the Login Device at this time, because the reputation will naturally change soon.
Not long after walking, they came to the reception.
Under the watchful eyes of the reception staff, Angell and others disappeared at the entrance of the Wanshiwu.
Returning to the cloud soil filled with faint mist, Angell felt that the air had become fresher than he had seen for a long time. The interior of the Wanshiwu is too complicated, and the space is cut into pieces, each piece is connected by a winding corridor, like a magic cube space covered with spider webs.
Even though there is no danger inside the Wanshiwu, it still feels very depressed. When I return to the outside, the depressed mood is relieved. However, thinking that Yuntu at this time is not the real outside world, but in the body of the giant city spirit, I still can't relax completely.
At this time, the popularity of the courtyard where the Wanshiwu is located is more prosperous than before. The main reason is that the main display has ended, and the sub-display stand can be seen at any time, and the various ethnic groups have begun to communicate privately.
As the intelligence center of the Bairi Mirror Domain, it is normal for the Wanshiwu to have a lot of people coming and going.
Just as Angel and others walked out of the yard, a group of people in black robes entered the Wanshiwu.
Angel didn't care about the people coming and going, but one of the black-robed people seemed to notice something when he brushed against Angel and looked back at him.
When Angel noticed it, he looked back and saw that the man had already entered the door of the Wanshiwu.
"Who was that man just now..." Angel didn't see the other person's face clearly, but he felt the other person's eyes looking at him.
Just as Angel was thinking in his heart, Laplace next to him said indifferently: "It was the human we met when we came here before."
"Human?" Angel was stunned, and a figure appeared in his mind. It was a man with a high ponytail wearing a tight uniform.
Angel: "You mean... Blood Hunter, Rice God?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes."
Angel didn't pay attention to the other person, but Laplace's perception was fully open, and he captured his figure in the blink of an eye.
It was the human who called himself Rice God who he met before.
"Rice God?" Angel whispered.
Angel had a good impression of Rice God. Perhaps because of the relationship of "meeting old people in a foreign land", Rice God showed great kindness to him and even gave him a contact badge, indicating that he could contact him if there was anything.
Therefore, it was normal for Daoshen to turn his head when he saw him.
However, he only glanced at him but didn't call him. Why?
You know, when he and Daoshen first met, he took the initiative to run over even though they were far apart.
Could it be because of the people he was traveling with?
Angel looked back at the door of the Wanshiwu. Daoshen and his group had disappeared long ago. They had obviously entered the Wanshiwu. The door of the Wanshiwu was a kind of teleportation mechanism that would assign people who entered to different reception desks. Even if Angel chased after them now, it would be difficult for them to meet.
Angel shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. After all, it was just a chance encounter.
