On the eighth day after settling in Qingcheng City, after a week of careful preparations, Li Jingyun's shop opened successfully. Because it was during the depression, not many customers came to support them. Most of them were people who claimed to be the seven aunts and eight aunts of the neighbors - ¡ªOf course they are the plainclothes guards secretly sent by Pandora. ¨ºng.c¡ðm is the fastest updated
Compared with these familiar guys, the real original residents who were attracted by the half-price opening had no impression of Li Jingyun. However, so many people unanimously insisted that Li Jingyun was a native of this street, which actually made the aboriginals They wondered if they had forgotten Li Jingyun who used to live here because of that damn Quanling.
¡°It¡¯s really hard for them to pretend to know each other even though they don¡¯t know each other at all.¡± Wei Da watched a former resident pretending to be familiar with the plainclothes guards and said sarcastically.
"This is what the so-called three men make a tiger." Pandora, who was monitoring this scene, laughed, "Few people have absolute confidence in their own memories. Even the most stubborn guy can be fooled if he tells a lie a hundred times. You¡¯ll start to doubt yourself.¡±
"Why can you hear what I say?" Vida asked strangely. The restaurant was so noisy and he didn't speak loudly, how could this guy hear it?
"When you were in coma, I asked the doctor to implant a vibration sensor near your throat bone. Except for the loud breathing noise, the effect was pretty good." Pandora's reply soon came to my ears.
"You bastard" Vader couldn't help but gritted his teeth. This woman actually felt comfortable doing things on other people's bodies.
"Haha, instead of competing with me, you should hurry up and greet the guests. There are already people waiting at the table diagonally across from you." Pandora smiled evilly.
Vida looked in the direction Pandora said and saw two customers pointing at him. Thinking about it, it would be strange for anyone to see her as a front desk clerk standing there gnashing her teeth and muttering to herself during the grand opening days. Thinking of this, Vida decided to straighten her expression and greet the guests at the table in order not to look too weird, but before she could take a step, she was overtaken by the newcomer Malvina.
"I'm sorry to keep you two waiting for so long. What would you like to eat? The signature dish recommended by our restaurant today is roasted chicken with ginkgo. In addition, these vegetarian dishes taste quite good." The little girl greeted with a sweet smile on her face.
¡°Well, let¡¯s just take the items you recommended, plus a bottle of kiwi wine.¡± Malvina¡¯s attentive greeting dispelled the customer¡¯s unhappiness, and the customer ordered a few more items as recommended by her.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Malvina nodded lightly and walked to the stage with the menu, "Sister Vida, order for table three."
"You are very energetic, don't you feel bored?" The two of them knew each other well, and Vader was not subtle in his words.
"Isn't it great to be able to work safely like this?" Malvina smiled faintly, "It's much better than being a displaced ability user outside."
"" Wei Da was speechless at that smile for a moment. She and Li Jingyun had been spinning in the center of the storm. After getting used to the turbulent life, she suddenly found that she could no longer think about problems like ordinary people.
"UmSister Wei Da, list." Seeing Wei Da suddenly startled for some reason, Malvina reminded her in a low voice.
"Oh, let's send it to the kitchen." After reacting, Wei Da hurriedly took the order and walked to the kitchen, where Li Jingyun was working.
"The menu for table three." Vida nailed the list to one of the rows of nails above the cabinet. That thing is used to mark the order of cooking for the chef.
"Got it." Li Jingyun responded without raising his head. Although his physical condition had not fully recovered, he was already sweating on his forehead, but his mental state was very good. It seemed that he enjoyed this job.
"Am I the only one who didn't get into the mood" Unable to disturb Li Jingyun's hard work, Wei Da left the kitchen.
The hall is a peaceful world. People are chatting and laughing during the banquet, tasting the delicious meals on the plate. It is often said that delicious food brings good mood, so at this moment, both plainclothes security guards and real customers are enjoying it. Li Jingyun is in a good mood to devote herself wholeheartedly.
However, the peaceful scene in front of him felt so illusory to Wei Da, as fleeting as a soap bubble that would burst at the touch of a touch. Vida's eyes would always unconsciously move away from the smiles of the customers and focus on details that others would not notice - whether there were abnormal calluses on someone's hands, whether someone's eyes were pretending to be careless. She moved towards the kitchen. These vigilances that had long become a habit made her incompatible with the environment here.
¡°You act too tight, it¡¯s not your style.¡± Suddenly, Pandora reminded through the earphones.
?"Really?" Vader was stunned.
"Haven't you noticed it yourself? Even the customers have noticed it!" Pandora seemed very angry, "I can see clearly in front of the monitor that you and the other people's auras are the only ones in the whole restaurant. Totally different, I really don¡¯t know how you survived to this day as a killer who was once on the world¡¯s most wanted list.¡±
"" Vader did not contradict this time but chose to remain silent.
She was once able to become a famous killer at a young age. Apart from her well-honed skills, her greatest weapon was her innate ability to blend into the environment wherever she went. This made her invincible in infiltration and assassination missions. However, since the All-Soul Incident, Wei Da has been vaguely aware that she is losing this ability. Except in front of Li Jingyun, she can still show her normal side. She always unconsciously shows defensiveness and hostility to other strangers, especially When those strangers tried to approach Li Jingyun.
"Hey, are you okay? If you continue to be in such a bad state, I will continue to send more people to your side." Pandora said, half irritated and half warning.
"I'll be fine give me some time to adjust, it won't be too long, I'll leave this to you for now." Vida shook his head in distress, then turned back and walked into the kitchen.
"Ah, Vader, the dishes here are not ready yet. Tell the guests to wait a little longer." Li Jingyun thought that Vader came in to rush the dishes, because his cooking efficiency was much worse than before due to the loss of probability ability. .
"I'm not here to order food, I just want to go out for a while, I'm sorry." Li Jingyun's full energy made Vida feel guilty.
"What, are you tired?" Li Jingyun asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal. I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I'm a little sleepy today." Vida made up a reluctant excuse.
"Don't worry, go and rest. Malvina and I are here, no problem." Li Jingyun responded with a reassuring smile.
"Yeah." Vida nodded and left the crowded restaurant in despair.
"Are you putting too much pressure on this guy Everyone, please stop eating! Pay attention to new customers entering the store, especially those who try to approach the kitchen, and don't forget to bring me a piece back!" Watching Vida leave the restaurant, Pandora ordered all the plainclothes people.
Outside the store.
She said she was going out to relax, but in fact Vida didn't go far. This is a tourist city, and there are benches prepared for tourists everywhere on the street. She just found a quiet corner across the street to sit down so that she could clear her mind. There were not many people on the street, and a few lonely pedestrians walked by from time to time, which made the street look even more depressed. However, compared to the noisy environment in the restaurant, this place was more suitable for her to reflect on herself.
"What on earth did I do" Vida asked as she leaned back in her chair and looked up to the sky. No one gave her an answer, even Pandora, who usually liked to interrupt most, remained silent.
So, time passed quietly in Vader's distress. Some pedestrians passed by the store, shook their heads at the sign and then left. Some people walked into the restaurant with friends and wanted to try the taste of this new store. From time to time, satisfied diners walked through the store talking and laughing. After coming out, Vida's eyes followed the flow of people dullly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, Vader's pupils locked onto a very inconspicuous pedestrian.
"Pandora, are you listening?" Vader whispered to himself.
"I'm here, what's the matter?" Pandora replied almost immediately, she could smell the incident in Vader's tone.
"Is there anyone in your surveillance team who has the ability to cross-dress? It's not just ordinary cross-dressing, but having the ability to change one's external form." Vader raised such a strange question.
"No, what's wrong?" Pandora's nerves suddenly became tense.
"There's a suspicious guy who's always hanging around in front of the store. I'll follow him and have a look. I'll leave the security of the store to you!" Vida pretended to be casual and stood up from the bench, facing the pedestrian who had disappeared around the corner. direction.
Turning the corner, there was only one person walking forward leisurely on the street. The clothes did not look like the pedestrian that Wei Da was looking at before, but a woman. Wei Da followed him at a slightly faster pace than that person, trying to figure out where to go. He closed the distance between the two without attracting attention, but the man's walking speed became faster and faster.
Suddenly, the man started running without warning!
"Sure enough!" Vader hurriedly chased after him. There was no doubt that this guy was the target Vader had just set his sights on.
Vader¡¯s footsteps were much faster than those of ordinary people. The man¡¯s speed was limited because he was disguised as a woman and wearing high heels. The distance between the two quickly narrowed, and the man had no choice but to turn and hide in a side road.
When Vader arrived, she found that it was a dead end. The partition wall was so high that ordinary people could not pass through it, but there was nothing visible inside except three walls. Vader cautiously took out the throwing knife from his arms and ran his right hand along the wall step by step. There was only the rough texture of the wall on his fingertips.
"Did you run away?" After using her abilities to investigate around the alley, Vader found nothing but dust on her hands. She shook her head helplessly and left.
However, shortly after Vader left, a piece of ground in the corner of the wall bulged out strangely and transformed into the shape of a human.
"Huh" The man sighed with relief, patted the dust on his body and walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened.
He was proud too early.
"Bang!" The moment he stepped out of the dead end, a slender arm stretched out from the blind corner of the field of vision without warning and twisted the man's wrist. A flying knife was placed on his neck with a cold light.
"Don't move!" What was even more chilling than the light of the sword was Vader's cold warning voice.
