Chapter 297 Little drop?
The remote ecological area chosen by Menqi is called Meilin, and it is a nature reserve that requires "permission" to enter.
It is not easy to apply for a pass in an area like this where no one else is allowed to enter or leave.
During the period, either pay a lot of money, or spend a lot of energy and time.
But the hunter license itself is the most useful pass, which can save Moyou and Menqi from these troubles.
On the way to the Meilin Ecological District, Men Qi crammed together and began to browse and memorize some information and regulations about the Meilin Ecological District.
Such artificially protected natural ecological areas usually have a prohibited list, which states which animals and plants cannot be picked and hunted.
Because of this kind of protection and regulations, there will always be some poachers who venture into the Merrill Ecoregion to hunt those extremely valuable animals.
According to what Men Qi said, this phenomenon of being linked to interests is absolutely unavoidable.
Therefore, every food hunter who explores new ingredients in the wild will sooner or later encounter poachers and exchange fire with them.
Moyou was always quietly listening to the common sense about gourmet hunters that Men Qi popularized.
Actually, to him, it doesn’t matter what happens, anyway, he just eats it.
Five days later, the spaceship landed in a country called Tebi.
Moyou and Menqi, holding hunter licenses, entered the country visa-free. Instead of rushing to the Meilin Ecological District immediately, they wandered around a local town called Rubiru.
In addition to preparing some necessary materials for survival in the wild in the town, that is, to taste the local specialties.
Anyway, Moyou followed the crowd and left the decision to Menqi throughout the process.
As long as Men Qi decides to do something, he will support it with both hands.
"Master, here, here..."
"Master, there is something wrong with the spices at that barbecue stall, don't buy them."
"Master, come here, this is maple syrup, a rare natural candy, I didn't expect to see it here."
"Master..."
Along the way, the smile on Men Qi's face never disappeared.
She didn't seem to know what fatigue was, so she took Moyou for a stroll from morning to night, and visited all the shops or stalls related to food on the local street.
Thanks to Moyou’s ability to eat, he ate it from the street to the end of the street, and then from the end of another street to the street, which greatly satisfied Men Qi’s desire to share.
However, Men Qi's knowledge reserves still surprised Mo You once again.
Anything related to food, Men Qi can always give a general idea, giving people the feeling that she has been here before.
But in fact, it was the first time for Menqi to come to Rubiru.
And the delicacies she introduced today, some of which she has come into contact with in other places, and some of them are learned through information.
"No wonder I can become the youngest one-star food hunter."
After finishing today's food tour, Moyou was once again impressed by Men Qi's abilities.
In comparison, the path of bounty hunter he chose is simpler because he can accumulate achievements based on strength alone.
Since the two of them strolled from morning to night, the trip to the Meilin Ecological District could only be temporarily put on hold for a day, and instead they decided to stay in the town for one night.
However-
There are not many hotels in this town, and each hotel is very small.
Moyou and Menqi searched all the way along the street, but failed to find a hotel with vacant rooms.
"This is the last inn in town."
Finally, Moyou and Menqi came to a hotel farthest from the center of the town.
If there is no room in this hotel, then they will have to find another way.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, the bell hanging on the top of the door suddenly made a pleasant and crisp sound.
"welcome."
In the counter facing the door, stood a smiling young girl wearing a white cloth scarf, with freckles on her cheeks.
Inside the hotel, there are furnishings similar to restaurants.
There are three dining tables in a small space.
Two dining tables are near the window, and one dining table is in the corner, adjacent to the wall studs.
Moyou and Menqi walked into the hotel, first looked at the smiling girl with freckles, and then looked at the dining table next to the wall post.
In front of that dining table, sat a girl with short black hair who was petite but could outline plump curves.
Because he was facing the entrance door sideways, he couldn't see his face clearly.
Moyou and Menqi's eyes fell on the black-haired girl at the dining table.
There is no other reason.
The short-haired girl with black hair is surrounded by a gentle mind power, and she is undoubtedly a mind capable person.
This is why Moyou and Menqi will look at the past immediately.
Men Qi then quickly retracted her gaze, and turned her head to look at Moyou.
It is a small probability event to meet a person with telekinetic ability in such a remote small town.
Moyou signaled Men Qi not to pay too much attention with his eyes, and then went straight to the counter, looked at the freckled girl, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is there any room left?"
"some."
The freckled girl also smiled. When she spoke, she glanced at Men Qi behind Moyou, and said softly, "But there is only one room left."
"It's single..."
"One room is enough."
Moyou also wanted to ask if it was a single room or a double room.
As a result, before she could finish her sentence, Men Qi answered her first, and even took a step forward, directly took out a large bill and put it on the counter.
Being so resolute can be said to have carried out her usual style of doing things.
Because he had no choice, Moyou didn't think there was anything, so he checked in like this.
"You two, please follow me."
The freckled girl accepted the money, then walked to the stairs, bent slightly, and signaled Moyou and Men Qi to follow.
Men Qi walked over first.
Moyou followed behind, and before climbing the stairs, he looked back at the girl with short black hair in front of the dining table in the corner of his eye.
From the angle he is in now, it can be clearly seen that the girl with short black hair is wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses that can cover half of her face on her slightly green face, and she is wearing a cross necklace around her neck.
"No way…"
Moyou retracted his gaze without any trace, and then walked up the stairs.
After further seeing the appearance and attire of the girl with short black hair, a name flashed in his mind.
Little droplet?
It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
Moyou was surprised.
However, based on those few common features alone, it cannot be directly determined that the other party is Xiaodi, the No. 8 member of the Phantom Brigade in the original book.
Even if the other party is really Xiaodi, he has not joined the Phantom Troupe at this time.
"Could it be her?"
Moyou's thoughts turned.
He was thinking—
Would you like to try to get in touch with that girl.
After all, for him, every character who appeared in the original book basically has some kind of potential reward.
If the other party is really Xiaodi, no matter what decision he makes later, at least he can get a reward from the "look and feel".
"Master?"
Men Qi's voice interrupted Moyou's thoughts.
Moyou came back to his senses, only to find that he had come to the door of the room.
The freckled girl leading the way was surprised when she heard Men Qi addressing Mo You, but she quickly adjusted and explained some precautions to Mo You and Men Qi with a smile.
After explaining some necessary things, the freckled girl left the key and turned to leave.
"Master, what were you thinking just now? You were so fascinated."
After the freckled girl left, Men Qi put down her luggage and stared at Moyou with scanning eyes.
"nothing."
Moyou casually said something perfunctory.
"Oh~~~!"
Men Qi didn't believe it, and deliberately proclaimed the elongated syllable.
She really wanted to ask if it was because of the black-haired girl downstairs who read the ability user, but in the end she kept the words in her heart.
The night is getting darker.
The last remaining room in the inn is a single room.
Although there are everything you need, it is a single bed after all, and it is still a bit crowded for two people to sleep.
So Moyou ignored Menqi's words of "it's just a little squeezed, it doesn't matter", and chose to make a bed next to the bed, with a thin sheet, barely enough.
In a dark room.
Men Qi made a silent grimace at Moyou who was lying on the ground, then lay on his back looking at the darkness above, and slowly closed his eyes.
Even if she happens to meet a person with the ability to read when she checks in, as long as Master is by her side, she can fall asleep without any worries.
Moyu turned his back to the bed, looking at the small round window covered by curtains.
At this time, he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply closed the fine pores all over his body, and started the "absolute" cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, Moyou suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ok?"
In the field of vision, half of the street outside the hotel is bathed in moonlight, and half is shrouded in darkness.
It is late at night, and the particularly quiet environment will quietly amplify the sound of footsteps.
At the moment.
Accompanied by slight footsteps, two figures walked straight towards the hotel along the black and white border.
With the help of the shared vision of the shadows and the moon peeking out from behind the dark clouds, Moyou "saw" clearly the appearance of the two figures.
A man and a woman.
The man is tall and slender, with slender eyebrows and wide eyes. There is a black spot on his left cheek that looks like a birthmark, and he is holding a black spike about one meter long in his hand.
The woman has a plump figure, phoenix eyes and a small mouth. There is a white mark on her right cheek that looks like shed skin from burning. When she walks, she holds a dagger and throws it up and down.
The shadow placed outside by Moyou quietly stared at a man and a woman walking along the street, and could see the undisguised power of the man and woman.
It’s a person with the ability to read again...
In half a day, I met three people with the ability to read, and they were still in such a remote town.
If it is a coincidence, it is really not convincing.
Could it be aimed at the black-haired girl who is suspected to be Xiaodi?
"Those two people are..."
After seeing the appearance of the man and woman clearly, the wanted criminal information that Moyou had memorized before showed its effect, and he quickly recognized the identity of the other party.
"B-rank wanted criminal, wings."
Moyou raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to the information registered on the reward bulletin board, Shuangyi is a criminal group of only two people who have committed several crimes with a bad influence.
The man's name is Reagan, and the woman's name is Pam. The two people's favorite thing to do is to kill and rob.
Now that the other party's origin has been confirmed...
In Moyou's view, the opponent is already two walks of merit, and experience points that can fill the "all exhausted" level.
"Let's wait and see."
Moyou stood still and patted Menqi lightly to wake him up.
Outside the hotel, on Stone Street.
Reagan and Pam went straight to the door of the hotel.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
Reagan, with a black birthmark on his face, raised his head slightly and looked at the floor above the hotel signboard.
Pameyan caught the falling dagger and didn't speak, but his expression was ferocious, full of substantive anger.
Reagan glanced at his companion's reaction, and immediately kicked open the door of the hotel without hesitation.
Bang!
Ring ring ring—
The door panel hit the ground heavily, and the bell hanging on it made a loud sound.
The sudden loud sound pierced the silent night.
The lights in the next room on the first floor of the hotel were quickly turned on, and even the houses on both sides of the stone street outside were also lit up one after another, obviously awakened by the loud noise.
"who is it?"
The freckled girl who received Moyou and Menqi came out of the next room, and immediately saw Reagan and Pam standing in the hotel who were not friendly.
"What do you... want to do..."
The freckled girl who didn't know Reagan and Pam had a frightened expression on her face, and the clothes picker in her hands was tightly pressed against the pajamas on her chest.
Reagan didn't pay attention to the freckled girl's existence, but tilted his head slightly, with a focused expression, as if he was sensing something.
Beside him, Pame just glanced at the clothes picker in the freckled girl's hand, moved his arm slightly, and was about to send the dagger in his hand into the freckled girl's head.
The generation of such thoughts is no different from trampling an ant to death.
Because in the eyes of Shuang Yi, an ordinary person is indeed no different from an ant.
"strangeness."
Just as Pam raised her hand, a female voice full of doubts suddenly came from the stairs.
The person who spoke was the black short-haired girl wearing glasses.
She stood neatly on the stairs, looked at Pam and Reagan with a rather unexpected look, and raised her index finger to lightly touch her lower lip, wondering:
"I should have cleared the tracks when I ran away, so how did you find this place?"
"Ok?"
Hearing the girl's words, Reagan's face changed slightly, and Pam with a ferocious expression couldn't hide his inner anger even more.
"Clean up the traces? Don't forget to provoke when death is imminent, you stinky mouse!"
Reagan stared at the dark-haired girl fiercely.
The black-haired girl became even more puzzled, tilting her head slightly.
"Why do you think I'm provocative?"
"..."
Reagan frowned, feeling that the black-haired girl was really serious about seeking answers.
"Smelly mouse, after you stole the 'Black Widow's Tears' from us, you didn't mean to cover up your whereabouts at all, and now you say that the traces have been cleaned up. Do you think this is just playing tricks?"
"What nonsense are you talking to her about?"
Pam suddenly shot.
The dagger entwined with concentrated thoughts flew out of his hand, split the air and flew straight towards the black-haired girl's face.
"That's weird, it's common sense to clear your tracks when you run away."
While talking to herself, the black-haired girl raised her hands to make a gesture of holding something, and then her thoughts floated, and a vacuum cleaner with eyes, teeth and a tongue materialized in the blink of an eye.
"Did I forget?"
The girl swung the materialized air intake of the vacuum cleaner and knocked down the flying dagger.
The scene that happened in the hotel was all "seen" by Moyou.
