Chapter 185: Chuunibyou
It was just past noon when Mei Cheng'an returned home.
He quickly took off the uncomfortable official uniform, washed up simply, and took a leisurely nap.
This time he did not use his true Qi to dispel the drunkenness. He had to sleep anyway, and he could sleep better when he was slightly tipsy.
As expected, he slept very soundly for an hour and a half.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the early afternoon.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Mei Cheng'an got up and left the house. After strolling around the yard, he sat in the porch and read a book.
The afternoon passed quietly.
The news that the Supervisory Council had captured ten Northern Qi spies in one fell swoop had spread throughout Kyoto.
The City Guards (City Patrol), the Ministry of Justice, the Kyoto Prefecture, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and all the other ministries were all shocked and sighed, and were extremely jealous of the Supervisory Council.
These are real Northern Qi spies. Kyoto hasn’t seen one in many years, but the Supervisory Office caught ten of them at once.
"Don't even mention ten! Even if Kyoto Prefecture can get just one, it would be a great achievement. Ha, ten wouldn't be enough to kill him! What a pity!"
After dinner, Mei Zhili started complaining to Mei Chengan.
Mei Cheng was happy and replied to his father with a smile.
"Haha, since Dad wants it so badly, why don't you send someone to the Overwatch Council to rob him? I think Crab Brother is okay, so I'll send him. One person won't be too much, but two will be enough to cover the cost."
Mei Zhili also laughed.
"Then forget it. I only have this capable person under my command. Don't let Xie Bantou scare you into quitting your job."
"Ha ha ha ha."
……
After chatting and joking with his father for a few words, Mei Cheng'an returned to his own yard, took a walk to digest the food, and then rested for a while. Then, with the help of his maid Hongshu, he changed into a black tight-sleeved suit.
I had just changed my clothes when Fan Xian arrived.
When they met, Fan Xian looked him up and down and nodded.
"It's okay, pretty handsome, where's the face towel?"
"What face cloth?"
"A face covering."
“Why do you want to cover your face?”
"Sneak in secretly, big brother!"
Mei Chengan spread his hands.
"With my face covered, what if someone finds me? What if they shoot me without giving me a chance to take off the mask?"
"..."
"If you haven't been discovered, there's no point in covering your face. If you've been discovered, there's even less point in covering your face. They'll only stop when they see your face, so why cover your face?"
Fan Xian hissed, crossed his arms and rested his chin on them to think. After thinking for a long time, he said something.
"That makes sense. We're not going to kill anyone or burn anything. Why should we hide our faces?"
Mei Chengan snapped his fingers.
"Look, this is your habit of thinking. You subconsciously think of yourself as a thief."
Fan Xian patted his forehead and pulled the mask off his neck.
"That makes sense. We are not going to be thieves. We are going to uphold justice and judge the witch. We should do it openly!"
"Snap" another snap of fingers.
"correct."
"Then let's go."
"Let's go!"
……
This time when they went to the Supervisory Office, the two of them did not take the long route. They went straight to Tianhe Street after leaving Mei Mansion, and then went straight to the Supervisory Office after reaching Tianhe Street.
The two of them were not moving very fast, because Fan Xian thought Mei Cheng'an did not know martial arts, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Secondly, this matter is really not urgent. If you go too early, what if Yan Ruohai or Zhu Ge hasn’t left?
So the two of them strolled towards the Supervisory Office at a leisurely pace, chatting as they strolled.
"I went to see Wan'er this afternoon, and heard Ye Ling'er tell me something strange."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Ye Ling'er said that he ran into Lin Gong when he was leaving the city early yesterday morning, and Lin Gong was also going out of the city."
"so?"
"Don't be anxious. The strange thing is that Ye Ling'er greeted Lin Gong across the carriage, but Lin Gong completely ignored him."
"So what? She didn't see him because he was in the car. What if it wasn't Lin Gong? Even if it was Lin Gong, would he pay attention to her? What if he didn't hear her?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Ye Ling'er confirmed that it must be Lin Gong inside. She and Wan'er are best friends, and Lin Gong often visits Wan'er, so Ye Ling'er and Lin Gong are very familiar with each other."
Although Ye Ling'er did not see Lin Gong in person, she recognized the guards who often followed him, so it must be Lin Gong in the carriage.
Moreover, Ye Ling'er just passed by the carriage at that time, and Ye Ling'er's voice was very loud, so it was impossible for Lin Gong not to hear it.
The most important thing is that Lin Gong and his group looked very hurried, as if they were particularly anxious to leave the city.
There is something very wrong with this matter! There must be something fishy going on. What do you think, Yuan Fang?"
"I don't care what the hell it is!"
"Tsk, aren't you curious about why Lin Gong hurried out of the city so early in the morning?"
"Outing?"
"Fuck! Can you be serious?" "Why is a picnic not serious? Oh, fuck, you attacked me, you bastard, stop, that's enough, okay, okay, I'll be serious, going back to visit my relatives?"
"You can't go back to your hometown to visit relatives without bringing anything, and there's no need to be so anxious, let alone ignore people."
"Having a secret meeting with a mistress outside the city?"
"Lin Gong hasn't even gotten married yet, is there any need for him to have a mistress outside the city?"
"Who can say for sure? What if the mistress is not allowed to be seen in public? Maybe she is Lin Ruofu's concubine or something, and the father and son..."
"Stop! Are you going to die? I stabbed you in the kidney."
"Damn, do you have an imagination? What I said is very likely."
"Can you please restrain your imagination of filthy, dirty and melodramatic plots?"
"Tsk, how tasteless! Since you've rejected all the possibilities I mentioned, after thinking about it, there's only one possibility left."
"What's possible?"
"arrive."
"What's arrived?"
"The Overwatch Council has arrived!"
Fan Xian was stunned, and turned his head to look diagonally to the right where Mei Cheng'an pointed. Where else could it be but the Supervisory Council? The gate of the Supervisory Council stood there, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast hidden in the darkness.
……
Fan Xian stroked the stone tablet left by his mother Ye Qingmei for a long time without saying a word.
Mei Cheng'an leaned against a pillar with his arms folded, watching quietly without disturbing anyone.
Fan Xian's voice was a little low.
"Now I understand why she wants to change the world. She must have long been fed up with this world that treats human life as worthless."
Mei Cheng'an curled the corners of his mouth, and it was hard to tell whether he wanted to laugh or mock.
"Witnessing the tragic death of the general's family, did that shock you?"
Fan Xian smiled and looked away from the stone tablet to look at Mei Chengan.
"Do you think I'm a bit of a saint?"
"Yes!"
"..."
"Not only is she a saint, but she is also hypocritical. Is that lieutenant innocent? He sold arms and participated in the murder of others. His death is not a pity. Are his family members innocent? All the food, drinks and other things they use are from the dirty money from selling arms.
It's not that I don't allow you to have compassion, but at least you shouldn't be compassionate to their family. If you want to change your mind and want to inherit your mother's legacy because of them, I have to say that you are simply stupid!"
Fan Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You think too much. I'm just expressing my feelings."
Mei Chengan shrugged and put down his arms.
"Come on, virgin bitch, it's time to go in."
"Fuck! You're the saintly bitch! Your whole family is saintly bitches!"
Fan Xian raised his middle finger towards Mei Cheng'an's back and whispered back.
You know what, the emotions in his heart were shattered by his fellow villager's few words. Fan Xian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and without thinking about anything else, he quickly followed.
Hiding all the way and avoiding the inspectors, the two quickly arrived at the gate of the Overwatch Council dungeon.
It wasn't until he saw the patrol guards stationed outside the gate all run away during the shift change that Mei Cheng'an was so speechless that he burst out laughing.
Are you kidding me? Is this how you switch defense? Can you be more obvious? Can you act more seriously?
Fan Xian was unaware of this. When he saw that everyone had left, he quickly slipped out from behind the pillar and greeted Mei Chengan.
"Stop smiling like an idiot and leave now while no one is around."
After saying that, he took the lead and ran quickly towards the dungeon door using the Hokage movement posture.
"..."
Very good, double speechless!
Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes. Fan Xian was so stupid that he couldn't even see this. He was stupid too. Even if he saw it, he would still have to follow Fan Xian and be stupid.
Damn it, it’s okay to be stupid, as long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who are embarrassed!
Mei Cheng'an forced himself to comfort himself, posed as Ultraman and trotted after him.
After the two of them entered the gate, the guard who had just disappeared stood back again, in the original position, with the original person, as if nothing had happened.
……
Entering the dungeon gate, there is a corridor with a huge lantern hanging on the ceiling in the middle, making the entire corridor exceptionally bright.
Fan Xian was observing cautiously, while Mei Cheng'an was looking around curiously.
There are all kinds of traps on the walls on both sides, but it seems that they have been put away and stopped for the time being.
There is a pool of blood at the bottom of each side of the corridor. I don’t know if it is real blood, but it is bright red. There should be reflective fluorite at the bottom of the pool, which makes it look like a light strip laid in the pool.
I have to say, it's pretty good looking!
At the end of the corridor, there is another big door. Only after passing through this door can you truly enter the dungeon.
After closing the door, Fan Xian and Mei Cheng'an stood side by side in front of the door, looking at Si Lili who was sitting on the ground in the diamond-shaped dungeon in the middle of the pool.
The pool, like the blood pool outside, should also be paved with luminous fluorite, illuminating the dungeon as if it were daytime, so the vision is not obstructed and both sides can see each other clearly.
Si Lili looked at the two people at the door in bewilderment. Fan Xian was okay, as she had met him once and knew he was from the Supervisory Council. But the person next to him, if she was not mistaken, was Mei Chengan???
Si Lili knew Mei Cheng'an very well. Before Fan Xian came to Kyoto, Mei Cheng'an was her first target! It was a pity that Mei Cheng'an, this talented man, was not romantic at all, and she had never had the chance to meet him. She did not expect to meet him here.
Si Lili subconsciously tidied her hair, then came to her senses and remembered that she was already a prisoner and no longer the dark plum blossom Si Lili, and she suddenly felt ridiculous.
