Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1025 Yan Ou
"Ah? Ah!" Lei Fu suddenly exclaimed, "Junior brother, you are too bold. How can you say that?"

[Why is this fat guy so shy? Are all Aurora people like this? ]

"Ah," Shangluo covered his forehead, "Just think of it as providing evidence. If you don't mind, can you tell me whether there is one or not?"

"Ah, this... Of course not. She once asked me if I wanted to do this activity, and I was scared. I thought that the Ryukyu people were really open-minded, but I was still a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid what will happen if she suddenly doesn't like me anymore. I'm afraid by then, I still have friends who like me now. I'm afraid that after we go further, there won't be any friends who like me anymore."

[I understand. It's not in front of the Aurora people, he is just particularly introverted. ]

"Oh, that's fine." Shang Luo shook his head, "Then there is no answer. Then, I still want to ask, when you go out to eat with her, have you noticed anything special?"

"Eat? Yes, yes. She eats very little. She only eats one bowl of rice for each meal."

"Isn't one bowl of rice a normal amount of food? Is there anything else? Didn't you notice anything unusual when you were eating?"

"Abnormal? Ah. Um. No. I just feel that she always smells good. Eating with her makes me more hungry."

[Of course. My stomach is full of spiced broad beans, and that tastes good with rice. It's a feast for the eyes.]

"Okay, I'll hang up first."

"Ah! Wait a minute." Lei Fu suddenly asked, "Is she still alive? Now, is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"All I can say is that she's getting involved in more and more complicated matters. Do you have any other information to offer?"

"All I can offer is that commemorative coin."

"coin?"

[It is the coin from Miss Teng that was handed to him before. According to your request, he has handed over the coin. You went to get it last night.]

"Tsk, I almost forgot. Because things were focused on other things for a while, I almost forgot this information."

Shangluo hung up the phone and took out the wallet that Lei Fu had handed over yesterday from his bag.

The wallet was placed in a silk bag, presumably to prevent fingerprints from getting on it and interfering with the case.

Shangluo certainly didn't have to worry about fingerprints. He took the wallet out of the brocade bag with his hands.

"Hmm?" Shangluo held the wallet, feeling something was wrong. It felt like artificial leather, with a smell of cheap industrial products.

He turned the wallet over and saw -

“???” Shangluo was completely stunned.

[What? Have you ever seen a white cat with blue ears? ]

"No wonder it smells so good! This isn't it."

[Ah!] Apollonia also searched it out using keywords, [Isn’t this the little brother who smells so good!]

"Then the coins in here may be the same." Shangluo reached in and touched it. It felt a little wrong, as if it was a little bigger than ordinary coins.

He took it out and took a look.

[Five hundred? Such a large denomination. Uh, the year number on it seems to be different? This is really overstepping one's authority.]

"Tsk." Shangluo zipped up his pants again. "It looks like the evil wind on the island is getting stronger. There's actually something like this. I'm afraid it has something to do with me."

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Shangluo," Lu Huaiyang said on the phone, "Our people just went to Huitong Hall, where the Japanese envoys once lived. Behind their residence, we found unusually lush vegetation. After testing the soil, we found many traces of watering with food. The food they provided was used to cultivate the soil - it wasn't wasted, it was taken from the soil and returned to the soil, at least it wasn't thrown away randomly. What's the progress on your side?"

"Wait, let me sync the information with Phaethon. There is one last one, one last one that has not been caught. We will meet up after she is caught." Phaethon replied quickly in the channel: "Damn it! How can she run so fast?"

"You can't catch up?"

"No! She seems to know where I'm going to block her, and always turns before I get there. I can't just cross over the street, so I can only jump on top of the building. But she always manages to dodge from my blind spot."

"Apollonia, let's lock on her trail."

[Okay, leave it to me.]

Shangluo and Apollonia stood there, and the scene in front of them began to change - the time was still last night.

[Let me see, first find her last night, then fast forward all the way to now. According to the signal, the target should have been at Qinhuai River last night? What was she doing there. Wow. Wow! Wow! So exciting! Wow! ]

The picture on Shangluo's side has not been refreshed yet: "What did you see?"

[Shangluo, no need to ask, the functions are complete! It seems the price is quite high! It's almost the same as the Oiran. ]

"???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "This business scope is quite wide!"

【Would you like to take a look? 】

"We'll move the thread back a bit. We don't need to look at the part that's showing off the 'rich and diverse functions'. Let's look at it after the guests leave."

[I think so too. I don’t want to put this image into my mind for now. Cute girls can do this, but men can’t.]

Apollonia pressed the fast-forward button, and the scene in front of her switched to that of a "boudoir".

The step-out bed and the red-shaded lamp. Qinhuai River has not changed much from hundreds of years ago, because people of all ages have similar appetites and needs.

Only the radio on the table that provides background sound gives the scene a more contemporary feel.

When the two arrived, the door behind them had just closed and the guests had just left.

The bed curtains were half drawn, and light could be vaguely seen coming from inside.

“So this is what the old Qinhuai River looked like.”

【Have you never seen it? 】

"I have definitely never seen this." Shang Luo shook his head. "As for that Miss Teng..."

Although she felt a little dizzy, Shangluo still wanted to confirm whether it was him. According to Phaethon, every puppet she caught was exactly the same.

He walked to the front of the bed curtain and was about to look out -

A cold hand suddenly stretched out from behind the curtain and grasped his palm. The cold and stiff feeling reached him directly.

"You are... How come this is on your body?"

A faint voice came from behind the bed curtains, and that voice was indeed the same as Miss Fuji's before.

"Apollonia! Isn't this the image from last night?"

[That is true, but it is not correct. The 1% function does not include this part.]

"Tell me," the voice was still asking, "Is she still alive? Why is it in your hand?"

The bed curtains were spread open, revealing a face that looked like a peach blossom covered in dew. This face was exactly the same as the previous "Miss Fuji", with the same bones, joints, fur, teeth and hair, except for a touch of red between the eyebrows. She was an oiran who sang to the rhythm, danced to the season, and was ever-changing, just to please her.

"So, is the time coming? Are you the one sent by Master Xu to ask for medicine? My time has finally come, right? But my medicine is not ready yet. At least, give me another three months. I will give the medicine to Master Xu after I repay Mr. Luo's favor."

"Wait, the Xu Zhenjun you are talking about is Xu Fu???"
