Ellen, the capital of the Republic of Jordan

The morning light sprinkled on the bright streets, and He Ao passed through the scattered shadows between the trees and arrived at the door of the office building.

Ding——

The facial recognition device in the office building made a light sound, and then the glass door opened to both sides.

This is the headquarters of the Research Institute of the Republic of Jordan.

"Good morning, Mr. He."

As soon as He Ao walked into the glass door, a gentle voice came from behind the door.

He Ao looked up and saw a woman with a neat short ponytail, silver round-frame glasses, a white shirt jacket and a small suit, a hip skirt wrapped in matte black pantyhose, and pointed black high heels.

At this moment, the woman was holding a thick stack of documents in her arms, staring at He Ao, and her eyes under the lenses were shining.

"You are..." He Ao looked at the woman dressed as a workplace beauty, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recalled, "Yan Yue? When did you arrive in Ellen City?" Although the Republic of Ruodan is now jointly managed by the Institute, Moonlight, and World Tree, it has actually become a three-party joint management under the leadership of the Institute. In addition, both sides will ask the Institute for its opinions before doing things. Therefore, He Ao, as the temporary head of the Institute in Ruodan, is now barely considered the person in charge of the entire Ruodan Republic. However, He Ao himself did not want to manage people, and he did not know when he would leave Ruodan, so he asked Li Cheng for a "secretary" with management skills and willing to come to Ruodan. Li Cheng recommended Yan Yue. Yan Yue herself is a D-level extraordinary person. She has been to the ruins and has also been the head of a large coastal city in the south. Her code name within the Institute is "Organizer". Judging from her resume, she has very rich management experience. He Ao himself did not have any opinions, so he directly decided on her, but according to the original plan, Yan Yue should have arrived in the capital of Ruodan, Ellen City, today. "Last night," Yan Yue nodded with a serious expression, and then she opened the documents in her arms, "I took advantage of last night to organize all the recent materials." "So you didn't sleep all night?" He Ao looked up at her. "Yeah," Yan Yue didn't seem to expect He Ao's focus here. She paused for a moment and then explained, "I slept for a long time on the plane. I have to adjust to the time difference when I come here, so I did these tasks by the way." Workaholic. He Ao looked down at the documents in her hand, reached out to take it, and asked as he walked forward, "So is there anything big here that I need to deal with recently?" "Everything is in this document," Yan Yue's expression returned to seriousness. She followed He Ao's steps in high heels, and explained as she walked, "There are two more important things." "Yeah." He Ao nodded while flipping through the documents in his hand, motioning her to continue. "The first thing is that there have been many missing persons cases in the border city of Enke, which borders the Republic of Ika in the north of Jordan, in recent days. That place is directly under the jurisdiction of the institute," Yan Yue continued, "According to the local person in charge, the local gendarmerie initially thought that it was a crime committed by some roving transnational trafficking groups, but there were no clues after investigating for a long time, and these missing persons were suspected to have received calls from deceased "friends" or "relatives" before they disappeared." "Received a call from a "dead person"? It sounds like some hidden power is at work," He Ao paused while flipping through the information and commented, "So they found us?" At this moment, they had come to the corridor of the office area, and the frosted glass walls divided the office area into different rooms. Staff members kept passing by along the way and greeted He Ao enthusiastically. "Yes," Yan Yue nodded, responding to He Ao's evaluation, "But the local person in charge has investigated for a long time and has not found any clues. They suspect that some kind of C-level secret power is "eating people", so they sent the file here and hope that we can send someone to investigate." The person in charge of Ruodan's place is at most D-level, and even many E-level. C-level extraordinary events are basically beyond their capabilities. "Okay," He Ao nodded lightly and stopped, "Arrange a car for me to "Enke City", I will go directly there." "You go?" Yan Yue also stopped at the same time and looked at He Ao in surprise. "I am the only C-level person in Ruodan now. Since they suspect it is a secret C-level force, it is naturally most appropriate for me to go there," He Ao smiled and closed the information in his hand, "and Enke City is a famous tourist city in Ruodan. If there is nothing serious, I will just go there for a trip." "Then do you need to arrange for an entourage?" Yan Yue took out a small notebook and took off the pen stuck in the notebook. "No, I can go alone." He Ao shrugged, then he looked back. Two girls in casual clothes who looked like Middle-earth people were following him not far behind. When they saw him turn around, the two girls immediately turned their heads away and pretended to discuss something. "Have you just been transferred from Middle-earth? What's the matter?"

He Ao looked at the two little girls with confusion. They had been following him since he first entered the office area.

Hearing his question, the two girls trembled at the same time, then turned around awkwardly and looked at He Ao.

Then, with the shoulder of the girl on the left constantly pushed, the girl on the right slowly walked over, her face red and hot.

She took out a postcard and a pen and handed them to He Ao nervously and tremblingly, "He, He, can you sign your name for us?"

He Ao looked down at the postcard.

Printed inside was the photo of him looking back during the Velora incident, and it was also the most popular photo of him in the institute forum.

······

"Can,"

He raised his hand, signed the postcard, and then handed the postcard and pen back to the girl behind him at the same time, "If you have something to talk about in the future, we can help each other directly because we work in a foreign country. We are not used to living here. You can also apply to be transferred back, but remember not to work with emotions.”

"Um!!!"

The girl took the postcard and nodded seriously and firmly, "He Bu, I will work hard!"

······

"Were they transferred here with you?"

After watching the two staff members leave, He Ao looked back at Yan Yue.

"Um,"

Yan Yue nodded, keeping a serious expression, "We took the same flight and arrived in the same batch, but we don't know each other. They should be staff from Dongdu."

"How many of the new employees are here for me?"

He Ao rubbed his eyebrows.

He still remembered that there was a post on the forum's hot list for a long time about 'How to be transferred to a department'.

Hearing his question, Yan Yue paused and said slowly, "Part of it."

"They should all be good people,"

He Ao turned around and continued to move forward, "But decisions made because of admiration and love are often impulsive, and the reality is that they need to work in a foreign country where the climate is not suitable for them. This can easily lead to gaps and discomfort. I don't want to The meeting will always be in Ruodan, so the coordination in this area will be troublesome for you. "

Yan Yue raised her head, looked at He Ao's profile, and nodded, "Okay."

"Yeah, right,"

He Ao also nodded slightly, and then asked casually, "You just said there are two things. Apart from the things in Enke City, what is the other one?"

"The other thing is not as important as the matter in Enke City, but it is related to China-Earth,"

Yan Yue explained, "Lin Chichi, a special reporter from the institute, applied to come to Ruodan tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to conduct an interview and investigation on the tripartite joint management."

"Lin Chichi?"

He Ao was slightly stunned when he heard this name.

"That's the girl you rescued on the Velora."

Yan Yue explained.

Of course He Ao remembered Lin Chichi.

This girl solved the murder mystery with him on the Verora, the former Verora. Although the tea was full of tea, she was able to completely entrust her life to He Ao's hands at the critical moment.

Of course, He Ao used the identity of 'Hao Yi' at that time.

The only encounter between Lin Chichi and the 'He'ao body' was at the end of the Velora, when the body participated in the rescue.

"She's a special correspondent now? What is she doing now?"

He Ao nodded and asked casually.

"Based on the schedule I got from my friend,"

Yan Yue opened the notebook in her hand and took a look, "Her schedule before coming here should be to 'interview' Hao Yi in Newland City State."

These things were not within the scope of work of the Ruodan Research Institute branch, but they were within the scope of what the 'He Department' might ask about, so she was prepared in advance.

"Yeah, I get it,"

He Ao nodded. He also remembered that the institute did tell him that he wanted to interview 'Hao Yi'. He just didn't know that Lin Chichi was also responsible for this matter.

At this moment, the two of them had reached the door of He Ao's office.

There was a layer of fine dust on the door wrench. He knew this office but had hardly ever been here.

He put his hand on the door handle and said casually, "Is this interview and investigation a publicity matter? Let her come over. Then the department here will try to cooperate with her and notify Moonlight and World Tree."

"OK."

Yan Yue nodded.

At this time, He Ao had already turned the door handle and pushed open the office door.

"What department."

Yan Yue on the side suddenly spoke and called He Ao.

"Anything else?"

He Ao looked back at her.

Yan Yue opened the notebook with her slender fingers, unfolded a three-inch postcard inside, and handed it to He Ao, "Can you sign it for me?"

He Ao:?

Looking at He Ao's eyes, Yan Yue's serious expression changed slightly. She slowly looked away and said in a weak voice, "I didn't make an entirely impulsive decision."

Newland City-State·Vinland Island

In a secluded small courtyard by the sea, the clone of He Ao's Hao Yi was sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard and taking a nap.

Due to the time difference, Jordan's morning happened to be Newland's afternoon.

The twilight shines on the undulating sea, and the sound of waves lapping against the gravel slowly echoes.

The sea in the main world is much quieter and gentler than the dungeon world. Although there are still storms on the sea, they are not everywhere like the Storm Sea.

The slightly moist wind was like a gentle hand across He Ao's cheek.

This small beachside courtyard has become He Ao's 'residence' on Vinland Island.

The three major organizations had already 'given' Newland City State to 'Hao Yi' last time. In theory, the entire Newland City State is now under the management of 'Hao Yi'.

This kind of management is different from the broad 'management' of Ruo Dan. He Ao can intervene in all the affairs of the entire city-state, and he has essentially built his own management team.

However, as the de facto ruler of this city, he still prefers to sit in the small courtyard by the sea and enjoy the breeze.

Bang bang bang—

There was a crisp knock on the door.

"Please come in."

He Ao spoke slowly.

The person outside opened the door carefully and peered into the courtyard until she saw He Ao sitting in the center of the courtyard looking at her and smiling.

"Dang, bang, bang, bang!"

The girl entered the yard, closed the door, walked quickly to He Ao, and turned around excitedly.

The light floral skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing the girl's delicate white calves, "Brother Hao Yi, it's me! Surprise or not, surprise or not!"

"There's a seat in front of you, reserved for you."

He Ao raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite.

"Hey! Aren't you surprised to see me?"

The girl pouted, sat across from He Ao, and then took out a small and exquisite 13-inch laptop from her bag, "I tried so hard to hide it for a long time, and even begged the dean not to tell you it was me. Come."

He Ao looked at the girl's cunning little fox-like eyes, nodded slightly, and said without any fluctuations in his tone, "I'm very surprised."

"Wow, what an emotional surprise,"

Lin Chichi glanced at the teapot on the induction cooker on the table in front of him, opened the lid and found that there was no tea.

Then she naturally picked up the tea leaves and poured them into the teapot with one hand. She picked up the kettle next to her with the other hand and poured water into the teapot.

"Brother Hao Yi, should your tea be lighter or stronger?"

"It will be all right."

He Ao said calmly.

"Then I'll cook it lighter?"

While she was talking, she poured tea leaves and glanced at He Ao's cheeks. After making sure that He Ao's face did not change after hearing the word "light", she carefully stopped her movements, turned on the induction cooker and started to make tea. .

After making tea, she took out an insulated lunch box from her bag and placed it on the table. She looked at He Ao with a smile and said, "Brother Hao Yi, guess what this is."

He Ao glanced at the lunch box and said casually, "Xiaolongbao?"

The girl's eyes widened slightly for an instant, then she blinked quickly and opened the lid of the lunch box, revealing the steaming steamed dumplings inside.

"If my brother is so smart, there will be no surprises."

"Where did you get the xiao long bao?"

He Ao raised his hand, and the girl naturally took out the chopsticks from her bag and handed them to him.

In the Verola, he only ordered three kinds of dishes, twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, and xiaolongbao. It was obvious that Lin Chichi remembered his preferences.

The first two were dinner dishes, and it was already past dinner time, and Lin Chichi was not sure whether He Ao had eaten or not.

Only xiaolongbao can barely be regarded as a hot snack, and Lin Chi Chi picked up the lunch box very lightly, and it was obviously not as if he was bringing delicious mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork with rice, so He Ao directly guessed xiaolongbao. .

"This is Chi Chi's little secret."

Lin Chichi watched He Ao pick up the steamed dumplings and smiled.

He Ao glanced at her, picked up the steamed dumplings and put them into his mouth without asking any questions.

The soft and thin dough is torn apart instantly in your mouth, bursting with rich and fragrant juice.

The dough is very light and soft. It is most likely freshly made and the buns are freshly made. It was cooked not long ago and is kept fresh with an insulated lunch box.

There are one or two small steamed dumplings from China in the city-state of Newland. He Ao has eaten them, but the taste is not very good. The steamed dumplings made by the Chinese Restaurant in the Tia Empire have basically been modified. They should be Chinese. Made by a local chef.

He raised his head and glanced at Lin Chi Chi, "Did you bring a chef?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my brother."

Lin blinked slowly but did not deny it.

He Ao glanced at her satchel and said, "You brought more than just a pair of chopsticks, right? Let's eat together."

"hey-hey."

The girl didn't refuse. She took out a pair of chopsticks from her bag, picked up a small steamed bun, and put it into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes into crescent moons and said, "It's so delicious."

"You little girl,"

He Ao looked at her and said with a smile, "He is full of evil thoughts."

If she really wanted to offer a treasure, she would have taken out her insulated lunch box as soon as she came in, but she just held back, took out her computer, and even made tea before taking out her lunch box.

The idea was to draw He Ao's attention first, and then do something unexpected and highlight his 'intentions'.

"Chichi has no ability and is not strong."

Lin Chi blinked his eyes and picked up a small steamed bun, "I just have to work hard in other places."

She ate up the steamed buns in a few bites, then watched He Ao finish all the steamed buns. After putting down her chopsticks, she quickly put away the lunch box and poured boiled tea for He Ao.

After everything was done, she put her hands on the keyboard and looked at He Ao seriously.

"So, dear Mr. Hao Yi, let's start the interview?"

"good."

He Ao looked at her with a smile.

The evening breeze in the twilight blew through the rippling tea and the hair of people in the courtyard.

——

Republic of Jordan

In the car heading to Enke City, He Ao picked up his old mobile phone and glanced at the time.

It's almost noon.

Yan Yue acted quickly and arranged a vehicle for him in a short time. However, starting from Ellen City, the capital of Ruodan, to Enke City in the north, the road is not easy to walk, and it is most likely that he will not be able to arrive until late in the evening.

He yawned and glanced at his palm.

The fine bloody lines are still looming under his skin, which is the 'damage' left by using the Eye of Truth.

However, if the damage is not major, the body can repair itself.

With every breath he took, a steady stream of energy overflowed from the jade pendant on his chest, supplying it to his martial arts practice.

His physical fitness also slowly increased with the passage of time.

He picked up the 'disappearance case' information next to him and flipped through the pages.

I wrote more, it will be later.
