Chapter 894: The Giant Beast is Only Used to Get Away
Chapter 894: The Giant Beast is Only Used to Get Away
The Taifu's counter-espionage plan was so clever that everyone present knew that he said it on purpose.
But sometimes, human hearts are like this. Once they start to get stuck in a rut, they can't even control themselves.
Seeing that the team he had just organized was being disrupted by the Grand Tutor, Nian immediately raised his eyebrows in anger.
Just as she was about to confront the tutor, Ji Jing raised his hand to stop her.
Under Nian's puzzled gaze, Jijing stepped forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
“I want to stay away from everyone to protect them. If the Grand Master feels that his soldiers can handle the message that Qi Yan wants me to convey, I will naturally not stop him.
"You take the others back to Yumen first. I'll finish my work here and it's time to say goodbye to everyone and hurry back to Rhode Island to take care of business."
Jijing's calm attitude made Nian and others look at each other and temporarily put aside their suspicions.
But Lao Li couldn't help but worry:
"Let Miss Nian and Miss Qilin stay."
"No need."
Jijing smiled, raised his hand, and openly showed everyone a whale skeleton pattern on the back of his hand.
"This is... my Qi Yan!"
Nian immediately recognized the origin of the tattoo: "Why did Qi Yan give this to you!"
Ji Jing glanced at the Master, without lowering his voice:
“Because Qi Yan said that the matter is of great importance, and I have this giant beast by my side. If the Grand Tutor is too stubborn, he doesn’t mind coming here in person through the authority of time.
At the same time, because the matter is too urgent, when things are over here, I will rush back to Rhodes Island and take the doctor to deal with the trouble, and I will also need the power of this giant beast to hurry on. "
Nian was a little dumbfounded: "What kind of trouble is it that I have to use the power of a giant beast to get through it, and even with the giant beast acting personally, it can't solve the problem directly?"
"Even Qi Yan has given up on playing around and had to ask the doctor for help. What do you think a giant beast can do?" Jijing said with a half-smile.
The information revealed by his words left everyone present speechless for a long time.
Something big is going to happen in this land.
Moreover, it was a problem that even the giant beasts could not solve, and even Qi Yan was troubled by it.
More importantly, in Qi Yan's heart, the role that the doctor can play is even greater than Qi Yan himself!
The Master narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had heard of the doctor from Rhode Island, but he didn't think much of him.
To be precise, if we exclude Qi Yan and the mysterious Ms. Kal'tsit, Rhodes Island is not important in the eyes of many people.
But now there are various signs that the Grand Tutor can clearly judge the doctor's status.
Qi Yan trusts and relies on the doctor's abilities from the bottom of his heart!
Seeing Jijing looking at him again, Taifu put away his tentative thoughts and bowed, saying:
"Mr. Jijing has misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"Then what does Lord Grand Tutor mean?" Ji Jing didn't give any face and directly retorted.
"Be bold!"
The two imperial guards standing in front of the Grand Tutor shouted and cursed at the same time.
But this time, the situation took a drastic turn.
The mark on the back of Jijing's hand flashed, and the two imperial guards were suddenly enveloped by an unknown force, and all their actions slowed down.
The Master's eyes narrowed.
He is now certain that Nian's reaction was not an act. The mark on that mark was definitely from a genuine giant beast. Its power and authority were even more complete than Nian's, and it could avoid Nian's perception while possessed.
Ji Jing glanced at the tutor and realized that Lao Deng had really put away his contemptuous attitude, so he also stopped testing each other.
Putting away the power of the Skeleton Beast, Jijing once again issued an invitation:
"Master Taifu, are you willing to talk to me in private now?"
The Grand Tutor waved his hand to signal the two imperial guards to withdraw, and nodded, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Jijing."
Jijing waved his hand, and the two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
……
……
Yumen, an inconspicuous street in the north of the city.
A destitute figure was huddled in the corner. His tattered clothes and dirty, tangled hair and beard all confirmed that he was a homeless person.
His numb eyes stared at the trash can on the other side of the street that was illuminated by the street lamp.
The bucket was empty, obviously having been cleaned by a sanitation worker not long ago.
The homeless man seemed to be so hungry that he had no strength left. He had to try harder to cover his stomach and curl up his body.
Just as he was struggling to resist the torture of hunger, a few coins fell in front of him.
"It's so pitiful. Use it to buy something."
The man passing by bent down and put down all the change he had on him, shook his head and sighed, then continued on his journey home.
The homeless man's gaze stayed on the coin in front of him for a brief moment, then moved away without any reluctance and fell back on the trash can across the street.
The kind-hearted man walked some distance away and suddenly felt a little surprised.
"Now that the two cities are connected, I remember General Zuo specifically issued a new policy. All the homeless people in the city should receive relief from the new policy. Was that person left behind just now?"
The man stopped and prepared to go back to find out what happened. If the homeless person was really abandoned, he could send him to receive help.
But when the man turned around, he was shocked to find that there was no homeless person on the street.
Where the homeless man had huddled, there was only a trash can quietly placed there.
"what's the situation?"
The man walked quickly forward and walked around the place twice, but there was no sign of the homeless man at all.
But soon he noticed the trash can under the street light.
"Wait, this trash can is one I often see on weekdays, and the trash can that just appeared where the homeless man is is..."
A strange sense of disharmony suddenly arose in the man's heart, and he quickly turned his head to look at the place where the homeless man was curled up.
The homeless man was still gone, and the extra trash can had also disappeared.
Standing in that position is the man himself.
The man looked into the eyes of his other self and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His muscles were stiff and he could not move. He could only watch his other self move forward step by step.
The other person's demeanor, even his walking habits, were exactly the same as the man himself.
"I am going home."
The man walked up to the man and whispered in his ear, "I don't want my family to be frightened. For my family, I can pay any price... So, you can't appear in front of my family."
The man's eyes widened in horror and he wanted to scream, but his throat was tightly gripped by a pair of iron-like hands.
After a while, the 'man' walked through the streets covered by street lights as usual, and returned to his home with ease.
In the living room, the child who had just learned to walk saw his father coming back and immediately staggered over.
The man smiled dotingly, walked up to the child, held him in his arms, and kneaded the child's soft face.
The child was stunned for an inexplicable moment in the man's arms, and then suddenly burst into tears.
"What's going on?" The wife leaned out of the kitchen and asked, "Why did you make the child cry?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm hungry?"
The man looked confused, holding the child in his arms, and walked towards his wife, saying vividly, "Let me tell you, on the way back just now, I saw a very strange homeless man.
I am a kind person and I couldn't bear to see this, so I gave him some change. But when I looked back not long after I walked away, I found that the homeless man had become a trash can!"
"You must be tired and confused, you dare to scare me with these outrageous words."
The wife rolled her eyes at the 'man' coquettishly, walked out of the kitchen, took the child and kept comforting him.
But even after the child returned to his mother's arms, he continued to stare at the 'man' and cry loudly.
The wife felt strange and lowered her head to touch the child's forehead:
"He doesn't have a fever, and it's impossible that he's hungry. I just fed him."
"Maybe he likes mom more?" The man chuckled.
The wife was somewhat pleased with what she heard, and raised her head and said:
"Of course, baby likes it the most..."
The words stopped abruptly.
The figure of the 'man' disappeared, and in his place was replaced by the 'wife' herself.
