Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 336 Temporary Truce
Every time Ling'er came out, she didn't say anything and just looked at Liu Yonglu.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to kill this man, but her unlucky brother and the witch stay in the house with nothing to do every day, so it’s quite difficult to kill them.

So she changed her thinking and decided to keep working hard and accumulate over time.

According to her idea, humans would be more or less mentally affected if they looked directly at gods, but the guy in front of her seemed... except for being startled by himself occasionally, there was no obvious mental discomfort.

"You unlucky kid, just stay aside for now... wait until I'm done, then we can have a good chat..."

Liu Yonglu's mouth was full of toothpaste foam, and he spoke incoherently. He didn't plan to call Xiaohu. After a few days of fighting wits and courage, he also understood that as long as Xiaohu and Mili'er appeared, she would run away. After the two of them left, she would come back later. At such a young age, she still knew how to fight guerrilla warfare. Why not just have a chat.

"Hululu..."

After brushing his teeth, Liu Yonglu held his saliva in his mouth and tilted his head back to rinse his throat, while Ling'er looked at him with a frown.

Who is this person that my brother follows every day?

"Please sit down and let's talk it over. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this."

Liu Yonglu closed the toilet lid and sat on the toilet. Ling'er sat on the edge of the bathtub. The two of them were in the bathroom preparing to start a bilateral negotiation.

“If you have any demands, just tell me, okay?

You have explained clearly what is going on in the Lost Sea. If your request is reasonable, I am not a pushover. I will definitely give you the green light if I can."

For the first time, Ling'er felt that it was difficult to listen to others:

“A window is both a barrier of isolation and a hole for peeping into. Through it, you can see the light but cannot touch its warmth.

The secret of the Lost Sea? You, like the person in the window, can only peek, but can never cross the border.

It is a mark of unworthiness and a barrier to fate.

Forcing it open would only allow the cold wind to rush in, shattering the glass and hurting those who shouldn't be implicated.

Don't you understand? This is not a disrespect for you, but a maintenance of the rules - something inappropriate, once encountered, is enough to bring about an endless chain reaction.

As for my brother, it was a natural thing, like the sunlight coming through the window, destined to dissipate in every corner.

It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, because the window won't ask the wind whether it wants to or not."

After Ling'er finished speaking, Liu Yonglu was still the same as before, he was speechless and hesitated. It took him a long time to finally utter a sentence:
"Well... after all this talk, are there windows?"

Ling'er looked at Liu Yonglu, and Liu Yonglu looked at Ling'er. The two of them were competing with cockfighting. After a long while, the little girl shook her head.

"So you're heading for the window this time? Right?"

Ling'er nodded, because she could indeed answer this way in her own rhetorical expression.

"Okay... let's do this, see if it works.

I agree that Xiaohu can go with you, but there is one thing: you have to make sure that he is safe after he goes with you."

"I don't understand the dangers you're talking about, and I can't guarantee it."

Ling'er is better than Xiaohu in this respect. Not only can she speak, but her voice is also very nice, just like a little sparrow.

"But... you have to promise not to act up at the Expo today and stay quiet. I'll do my best to help you with the rest."

"If you think you can influence me, then you are too arrogant. This arrogance comes from your inherent fanaticism and ignorance. The enlightenment trend that attempts to analyze everything has made you lose your judgment.

But the little bit of ancient knowledge that leaked out under the starry sky will easily make you fall into madness and self-doubt. This is a meaningless dispute and paradox..."

The two of them were talking about different things, it was like talking at cross purposes.

Liu Yonglu didn't really want to send Xiaohu away. He did not lie to Ling'er, but he left half of his words unsaid.

For example, "Xiao Hu can go with you. I agree to this."

The second half of the sentence is "But I have to follow."

Anyway, Liu Yonglu's idea was to temporarily appease this knowledgeable and unspeakable little ancestor, and talk about anything in two days. What if she disappeared from the Expo every now and then, every now and then, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Let's make a deal today. You, just stay by Xiaohu's side. When the expo is over, I'll get the window done for you right away."

Ling'er seemed to feel that Liu Yonglu understood her rhetorical techniques, and nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, let's make a deal. What would you like to eat for lunch? I have to call the restaurant to order food later."

Liu Yonglu didn't feel like breathing a sigh of relief at all, because he knew that he probably had only appeased the little ancestor temporarily, and there was no telling what kind of trouble he might cause later.

“I want to drink that soup…”

It took Ling'er a long time to utter these words. There seemed to be a pattern to Ling'er's appearances and disappearances, which was that she always came at mealtime. If Liu Yonglu ordered takeout from Tianying Restaurant, she would also eat a bite.

"Nicholas turtle soup?"

Ling Er nodded. "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare two more skewers of turtle eggs for you. I see you like to talk nonsense."

……

There is still one hour until the Continental Expo opens.

Liu Yonglu brought Millie Tang, Xiaohu brought Ling'er, and the four of them had already entered the expo venue.

Liu Yonglu was still wearing the same good coat today, but his face was covered with a mask of a skinny and mean old man. Today, he was an exhibitor with his own booth, so he could not show his true face.

Millie Tang was still dressed as a woman, wearing an elegant beige coat and a khaki skirt, but the hat on her head was also covered with a fashionable cream-colored mesh veil, making it difficult to see her true appearance.

Xiaohu was still wearing Millie Tang's childhood clothes and holding a cotton candy in his hand. There were many small vendors outside the venue of the Continental Expo. The Mosesada Security Bureau specially set aside an area for them to sell various goods and snacks.

What about Ling'er... she was still the same, wearing a black shirt and black skirt. Liu Yonglu also suggested that Mi Li'er find a piece of girl's clothes that she wore when she was a child for Ling'er to change into, but both sides disagreed. She also held a marshmallow in her hand at this time.

"This is our stall. Wait a minute, I'll keep an eye on the stall and any suspicious people coming and going.

Mi Li'er, please keep an eye on these two children."

Liu Yonglu's subtext is that you and Xiaohu should keep an eye on Ling'er.

Millie Tang was not happy about the sudden appearance of such an "enemy" and made a "hmm" sound with her nose.

"Oh my, it's quite a big event. I haven't seen many of the things before."

Liu Yonglu put his hands on his hips and looked around. The venue was very large, with walls supported by steel and special glass. The sunlight poured in and shone on the strange steam machines, giving Liu Yonglu a sense of unreality and fantasy.

At this time, foreign guests and local celebrities of Mosesad had not yet entered the venue, and the merchants were busy setting up their stalls.

All kinds of strange steam machines were assembled. Some small objects were fine, but some large objects were connected and wrapped with rivets and iron sheets, and were stacked up as high as a floor. Liu Yonglu was afraid that they would poke through the glass dome above his head.

At a stall not far from Liu Yonglu, three people were carefully pushing the Calabash Brothers device to the most conspicuous place.

A young man with his hat pulled down, holding his ribs and taking a breath after each step, was Alva.

An old man with a hunched back and bent waist, his face full of deep wrinkles like dried orange peel, is Wordsworth in disguise.

The last one was a clean and cheerful middle-aged man. He was also busy beside the device, but his eyes were wandering, as if he was feeling something.

"Father...Mr. Francis, have you found Ricky?"

"No, it should be a disguise, but I sensed another extraordinary presence."

The god named Francis continued to work, and said meaningfully that he did not dare to slack off for a moment, as he was able to discover the other party because the other party did not conceal it.

But could the other party sense him... He was not sure. Although he was good at hiding his aura, he relied on this skill to hide in the Seven Valley and sleep without being discovered for tens of thousands of years. But now he was so close and the other party's status was so high... He was not completely sure.

Today they disguised themselves as exhibitors. As for the Calabash Brothers' device, it was purely used to make up the numbers. Since the invention couldn't be started anyway, it might as well be recycled.

"Something seems wrong. How come I don't see any investigators?"

Wordsworth whispered that it was a little unusual that he only saw the sheriff when he came in.

"Maybe it's a trap for us," Alva added.

"So don't act rashly."

Francis also thought of this possibility. He was shocked at first. Could it be that these investigators were all-powerful? Every step of his infiltration plan was flawless. Ordinary people should not be able to see any problems...

If Xiaohu can influence the growth and prosperity of all living things, Ling'er knows almost all the wisdom in the endless world.

Then Francis boasts that he can calculate every corner of the development of the movement.

But why did I get a bad feeling the moment I entered the Expo?

"Hey... where did they go?"

Not only Alva and the other two discovered the disappearance of the investigator, but Liu Yonglu also noticed it. According to the original plan, Lin Brown and the others should have entered the venue an hour earlier than himself, but at this time there was no one to be seen.

The venue of the Continental Expo is shaped like a scallop. The arc-shaped area at the top is an open venue, and at the end there is a row of rectangular separate rooms for guests to rest.

At this time, in a room, Chief Norman and Sir Gregory were sitting behind a table.

Lin Brown, Kogan, Carol, Marquette, and the little genius brother and sister stood in front of the table, all looking at the letter on the table.

His face looked solemn!

Hey, I have seen everyone’s suggestions.
