Chapter 553

Rin raised her eyebrows: "I'm dressed like this, can you still recognize me?"

He is now wearing the clothes that are typical for young boys working in factories or selling newspapers.

Work overalls, yellowed shirt, old-fashioned cap, black leather boots.

His face is also made up to be a darker wheat color from frequent sun exposure.

"You can smell it and recognize it at a glance."

Rin forgot that Xiye is now a dog-eared girl, a half-beast dog, with a good sense of smell.

Of course, the second half of her sentence is not exaggerated.

The two of them did not make an appointment, but came here at the same time.

Xiye missed Lin and wanted to know how he was doing.

Rin predicted her thoughts in advance.

"Is there a secluded and safe place?" Rin asked.

Xiye thought about it, took his hand and was about to leave.

"Wait, we can't go together. You are very famous. If there is another person around you, it will definitely be conspicuous. In addition, our relationship can be easily found out, and your identity will be suspected."

"It doesn't matter. I will beat anyone who wants to take you away."

Rin's eyes turned and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, sister, are you considered a person related to this event?"

The word "sister" immediately made Xiye's expression as gentle as water, and the stars in her eyes turned.

"No, I'm just a personal guard. Besides, Lady Eve has given me a seven-day holiday, and I have no official duties."

Rin's eyes suddenly lit up, with a smile on his brows. Even his dark face was like the sunshine in spring, which almost melted Xiye's heart.

"That's great. How about letting me hire Sister Xiye these days?"

Xiye was a little surprised: "As long as my brother tells me to, I will do my best. There is no need to hire."

"No, I have a reward for you."

At this point, he finally showed his true colors, with some teasing and some bitter bad intentions.

"For example, use yourself as a reward or something?"

Chapter 80 Can't afford to play?

Xiye's dark red eyes obviously lit up.

"Really?"

"No deception."

Rin gestured at his body with a smile.

"Sister, you can take any place you like."

Xiye's white dog ears tickled, and the tail behind him shook out a residual shadow.

"Of course, all of it."

After saying what he wanted, the loyal dog swordsman obviously felt his heartbeat faster, looking eagerly at his perfect (?) brother.

Rin said that he really liked such a frank and highly desired sister.

This made his heart burn with heat, burning all over his body from top to bottom, and his eyes looking at Xiye also had other meanings.

Unfortunately, it was not the right time yet, Iris and Emilia were still waiting for him.

Moreover, he was still being chased, and if he was found in the middle of the exam.

Let alone how depressed the magic device would be, given Xiye's temper, he might really chop people with a sword.

"As for the reward, I will pay it after the hide-and-seek competition is over, and I will definitely pack myself up and deliver myself to your door."

Lin felt regretful in his heart, but he made a solemn promise.

Xiye's ears turned red and her throat was a little dry just thinking about that scene.

However, she was the most tenacious and the best at endurance, so she quickly restrained her voice and nodded.

"So, brother, are you hiring me to help you deal with those people?"

"Yes, as the last insurance, once someone really surrounds us, it's time for you to take action."

Lin said: "Even if we don't make it in time, we can be the 'ghosts' with my sister here, so it's easy to catch them."

Xiye agreed and raised the sword in his hand confidently.

"I will definitely follow you closely to protect you."

"Well, you don't have to follow. Let's agree on a few locations and signals first. By the way, is there any place to stay at night? Hotels are too unsafe, and there is no way to rent a house or something."

Xiye said without hesitation: "Then let's go to my house."

"Hey? Don't you live in the Duke's Mansion?"

"That's just to protect Lady Eve closely. I have my own residence, but... I don't clean it often."

"It's okay, as long as there is a place to live. Tell me the address, and Iris and I will be there soon."

When checking the address with Xiye, the people coming in and out of the tavern were already looking at them curiously.

Lin always felt that the look in his eyes was guessing whether he was a challenger and how much money he could get by selling his information.

As mentioned before, Xiye was a celebrity, and she was a super beauty that could make people look at her like a fool and bump into street lights. She was really too eye-catching.

Lin waved to Xiye and ran away.

He realized that someone was following him, so he turned around and successfully got rid of the person.

Alas, now all the residents in the city are temporary agents, so you still have to be careful when you go out.

However, at night, it can cover Iris's flight very well, especially after Iris awakened the light system and completely cured her night blindness.

That night, they moved into Xiye's house.

Xiye's house is in a mansion in the inner city, with only a small courtyard and a two-story house.

In the setting of the illusion, she is the adopted daughter of an old nobleman. The old nobleman's family is down and out, and only this house in the inner city is valuable. After his death, he left it to Xiye.

Although the house is small among the nobles in the inner city and is located in the most remote area, it is still much better than the outer city.

It covers a total of 170 square meters. When Lin arrived, Xiye had just finished cleaning the living room.

After that, it was Rin and the other three who helped clean up for an hour before it was time to tidy up.

The three of them were very tired and went to their own rooms to rest.

Xiye sat alone in the living room, practicing calligraphy and keeping vigil for them.

Whether it's Elise, Emilia, or Rin, as long as they see Yuye, they feel a sense of security in their hearts and sleep peacefully.

I spent two consecutive nights at Xiye's house, and there was no danger during the day.

Through Xiye's information, I also learned about the current situation of other challengers.

In two days, five teams have been eliminated.

Huadu City is too big. Even if there is a signal, by the time you get to the nearest location, the opponent has already run away, and you can't be sure which direction he ran in.

We can only narrow down the scope based on other intelligence investigations, and it is safest to search for signals at that time.

So in fact, the advantage of ghosts in the early stage is relatively small.

It will not be until there are more and more ghosts in the future and the net cast becomes wider and wider that they will start to take advantage.

And from the third day onwards, all challengers’ nightmare came.

At seven o'clock in the morning, every "ghost" team was gearing up, turning on their instruments and preparing to receive signals.

Then suddenly I was a little dumbfounded...

One of the challengers rubbed his eyes.

"Baby, I'm so dazzled. Why are there so many more beacons on No. 96 all at once?"

"Let me see."

The other person also took a look and was shocked.

"1,2,3^23?! What the hell, is there something wrong with the annunciator?"

"Go to the referee quickly!"

However, just as they were getting ready to set off, horns all over the city suddenly rang.

"Here is the challenge referee panel. We noticed that there were 20 more numbers 96 in the signal receiver. We immediately conducted debugging and inspection and now announce.

"There is nothing abnormal about the receiver and the signals are normal. Players please don't panic and continue your game."

"I'll blanch it!"

A certain challenger almost smashed the instrument in his hand.

"It's already like this, why do you say it's normal?"

A middle-aged man dressed professionally as an alchemist pushed up his glasses.

"I suddenly remembered that this signal can actually be copied."

Another teammate's eyes lit up: "Is there anything you can do?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. At least it can only be done by a high-level alchemist."

…

In a breakfast restaurant in the city, a young man wearing a long gown turned pale. He could no longer maintain his elegant posture and slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"You cunning boy, you actually pulled this trick!?"

The woman on the side glanced at him cautiously and asked in a low voice: "No. 96, is Rin's team?"

"snort."

The young man snorted coldly: "I just learned his serial number from an observation officer last night, so I turned into a "ghost" on purpose. I plan to defeat them today and save those ignorant people and that stinky woman..."

Another chubby young man said while stuffing his buns: "Brother, isn't this bad? Contacting the observer must be considered cheating."

"Simple hypnosis is all it takes. He doesn't even know it himself. Who can say that I cheated?"

The young man gritted his teeth, looking angrily.

"Damn, it's so disgusting, can't you play with it?"

Chapter 81 What a strange group of people (1/5)

Young A is a wind magician with strong mental power and is proficient in mental hypnosis.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a genius magician with two elements.

Moreover, he is also the legitimate son of a well-born earl and Eve's suitor.

Many people didn't know what Duke Gioral looked like before, but he had been lucky enough to see him once with his father.

From then on, I couldn't forget Eve.

Although he could only see her once a year, he still confidently believed that he was Eve's future husband.

As a duke, he definitely doesn't need to marry other nobles, he just needs to find a man to marry into.

Their family is a loyal fan of Eve, and he is a rare genius magician, so he is definitely the best choice.

This time he chose to participate in the challenge, firstly to express himself, and secondly because he wanted to get married.

He heard his father mention that among all the collections in the Duke's Palace, one was passed down from Eve's grandfather.

Their family has been headed by women for three consecutive generations, with men entering the family. This thing has been passed down from the previous generation, which can be said to be a symbol of the male head of the family.

His goal was this treasure, and he took the opportunity to confess to Eve, with a success rate of at least 80%.

Originally, he wasn't that hostile to Rin at first, but he felt very unhappy that this "future brother-in-law" had taken a step ahead of him and moved into the Duke's Palace.

He could actually see Eve every day, even though he could only see her once a year.
