Chapter 1685 Black Brick
Mo Tan is thinking, thinking very hard and attentively, but he knows very well that no matter what the final result will be, it will always be just unfounded until tangible evidence is obtained. It's just a guess, at most it just gives you a direction for your investigation.
Given how busy Mo Tan is in [The Boundary of Innocence], it is almost impossible for him to have the opportunity to personally conduct investigations on related matters. In the end, he will have to let the experts from his Harlequin Card and Wanderer Hotel Junwu or other third-party forces can help.
So in the final analysis, after asking others to help pay attention to the situation in the northwest continent, Mo Tan's current thinking is simply useless. He knows this, but he still can't stop thinking about it. .
However, due to some special circumstances, he didn't actually think about it for too long before he was forced to concentrate on dealing with the trouble.
Let's not get too close here. The trouble Mo Tan has to deal with is - the crowds.
What exactly is the popularity? To put it simply, it is the morning rush hour of the Monday subway in City B!
As a metropolis with a population of nearly 30 million, the morning rush hour in City B can be said to be very, very, very crowded, and September 13th is not a special day, so this During that time, most of the subway lines were very scary, and even those with a weak constitution would not know whether they would survive if they entered.
Mo Tan is actually mentally prepared for this. After all, he has lived in city B for so many years, and usually takes the bus and subway to go to school, so it is not bad, but Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao These two girls have never seen such a battle before.
This is not because the two girls are some otherworldly young ladies. The main reason is that although the first-tier city in J Province where they used to live has a lot of people, the morning rush hour is far less powerful than this. Bian Da, and after arriving in City B, the two sisters usually take a taxi to school. It’s not that they are willing to spend money. The main reason is that they only have classes on Monday morning, so they don’t want their sister to go to Ji Xiaodao where the subway is crowded during rush hour. I decided to take a taxi to school once a week.
Therefore, for the above reasons, the two of them have never experienced the Monday morning rush hour subway in City B. Today, because they are going to school with Mo Tan, Ji Xiaodao is worried about the latter's mood (she already knows Mo Tan's economic conditions Average), so I didn’t mention taking a taxi and just followed the bus and subway.
At this moment, Ji Xiaodao vowed that if God could give her another chance, she would put a knife on Mo Tan's neck and convince him to take a taxi with her sisters!
Too! squeeze! Got it!
It’s really too crowded!
Although they chose routes and trains with relatively few people (so that the staff would not push people in from the outside), the sisters still felt overwhelmed and uncomfortable while being shocked by the huge crowds.
Fortunately, Mo Tan, who was mentally prepared, quickly pulled them away, barely squeezed a path with his own body, and escorted the sisters to a triangular area near the door. Although the surroundings were still crowded with people, at least they were far away. There is a risk of being squeezed to the point where your feet are off the ground after the next stop.
In this way, Mo Tan, who is not very tall and is only two centimeters taller than the sisters of the Ji family, holds the armrest and rests on the outermost edge, while Ji Xiaodao occupies the space that Mo Tan cannot take care of. The route that directly threatened his sister was well prepared, but Ji Xiaoge himself clenched his little fists excitedly and looked around. Although his pretty face was a little frightened, he was more curious about new things.
Of course, this curiosity does not conflict with her thoughtful approach of curling up as much as possible and trying to reduce the pressure on Mo Tan and her sister.
The reason why the two of them are so vigilant is actually not difficult to understand.
To put it simply, it is summer now, and although sisters Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao are not wearing the relatively cool summer uniforms of Tanhua University, they are short-sleeved + denim shorts + leggings. The youth group is still quite charming...Okay, maybe this look is nothing special, but I have to admit that the two sisters are the kind of beautiful girls who can make people shine.
Especially Ji Xiaoge, even though she had short hair, wore a peaked cap, and even had some supernatural means applied to her, it was still difficult to completely offset her heart-stopping beauty.
So under the current personality, Mo Tan will naturally take the initiative to become the flower protector. In this aspect, thanks to his experience as a "mo" in the game, he can basically be said to be instinctively familiar with it.
As for why Ji Xiaodao is a guardian rather than a guarded character, it is because her individual combat effectiveness is very high and her reaction speed is extremely fast, so she can always stop those who do not intentionally hit her in time. People who come here can also secretly teach those scumbags who deliberately want to get around and take advantage of them.
Of course, thanks to the improvement in the per capita quality of the current society, there are really few people with evil intentions along the way, so although Mo Tan and Ji Xiaodao are working hard, it is just hard work.
As a result, just when the subway was about to arrive at Tanhua West Station, which was underneath the school's second cafeteria, an unexpected accident happened.
When the announcement that they were about to arrive at the station sounded and the group of three people just breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps it was because the driver used a little too much force when operating the driver's control, which caused the inertia during the deceleration process to be slightly greater, which caused many people to They were caught off guard and fell into an unstable state.
However, at this moment, a man who looked like he was in a suit and holding a briefcase suddenly came towards the three of them, looking like he was going to throw himself directly into Ji Xiaodao's arms.
As for the latter, while standing firm, his eyes were fixed, and suddenly he raised his arms sideways, and let the young social beast with impure motives bump his elbow with his belly. As expected, , the man immediately let out a cry similar to the crow of a chicken, staggered and fell back the way he came.
Obviously, a crisis of this level is unlikely to cause any harm to Ji Xiaodao, but the problem is that while she was fighting back against those with ulterior motives, she was inevitably distracted, so much so that she found herself at home. My sister's footing was unstable and she was half a beat too slow when she almost fell.
To be honest, we can’t really blame Ji Xiaoge’s foot plate for not being solid enough, because the not-so-smooth braking just now caused most of the standing passengers to stumble, but Ji Xiaoge The current position is somewhat dangerous.
If she completely loses her center of gravity, she will probably hit the door next to her. Although she will probably not be injured, now that she has completed the braking, the door will probably open immediately. At this time, she relies on the ability of the school director. When the 'Tanhua Station' was built, almost no one would get on the bus. In other words, Ji Xiaoge would most likely fall out the moment the door opened.
Of course, given that the current safety measures are still in place, the most she can do is fall and get a scratch, and basically there will be no more serious consequences, but this is still Ji Xiaodao didn't want to see it.
So even though it was a little too late, she still stretched out her hand to hold her sister.
It’s a pity that things went counterproductive. After cleaning up the gangsters, she was not in a good position to immediately catch Ji Xiaoge who fell in the opposite direction, so——
“Be careful. ”
Subconsciously shouting out this line that he shouted to Ji Xiaoge countless times in the game, Mo Tan took a half step back like lightning, put his left arm between the other party and the car door, and his right hand Instinctively, he touched the place where [Akatsuki] hung on his waist.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the next second, he should hold the girl's waist to protect her from injury. Then everyone will blush politely, and Ji Xiaodao will exude some murderous aura. That's how things went.
But——
【Huh? 】
When Mo Tan came back to his senses, he found that he was just standing on the spot. Although his right hand was indeed on his waist, his left hand that was originally stretched out was hanging peacefully by his side.
On the other side, Ji Xiaodao, who was reaching out to try to pull his sister, also changed into a posture with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the subway ring, his eyes seemed a little confused.
Ji Xiaoge, who was about to hit the door, stood firmly in his original position, his expression looked a little baffling, and then he subconsciously turned to Mo Tan and said: "Mo... Uh..."
"Mo Tan. "
Mo Tan immediately put on an expression that said, "So you forgot my name" and continued the words seriously. : "Ink's Mo, Sandalwood's Sandalwood, I met you last Christmas, and we are currently studying in the same school." Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, waving his hands and saying: "No, no, no, I have not forgotten you, just now..."
Mo Tan blinked and asked curiously: "What happened just now?"
"I can't tell, I didn't react. It was a bit weird anyway. In short, I almost mistook you for another person."
Ji Xiaoge, who suddenly stopped mid-sentence, frowned and pondered for two seconds before replying. He didn't say anything like 'maybe it was my illusion'.
Mo Tan, on the other hand, touched the tip of his nose with a normal expression, and said with a wry smile: "How should I put it, this is the trouble that everyone faces."
Ji Xiaoge waved his hand, and then After opening the car door, he jumped out happily, turning his head playfully and sticking out his tongue at Mo Tan and Ji Xiaodao who were following him: "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood before, so let you Two are worried.”
"Sister..."
Ji Xiaodao looked at Ji Xiaoge, who was smiling as bright as usual, with some uneasiness, pursed his lips, and hesitated to speak.
"Okay, it's okay. You really don't have to worry about me. Whether it's a game or life, everything will never be smooth sailing. I still know this~"
Ji Xiao Ge Ge hugged his sister from the side and rubbed the latter's face with a smile: "Don't underestimate me, sister!"
Faced with his sister whose mood turned from cloudy to clear, Ji Xiaodao also grew up. He breathed a sigh of relief, nodded obediently, and then turned to Mo Tan and suggested: "Where do you want to go? Let's see you off."
Mo Tan's face froze: "Uh..."
"Yes!"
Ji Xiaoge also clapped his little hands suddenly and said seriously: "Anyway, the two of us still have Class will take more than half an hour. If you don’t care about Mo Tan, you won’t even know if you can find the classroom before dark.”
At the end, Ji Xiaoge’s eyes suddenly widened. He let out a very low decibel cry.
Mo Tan was immediately startled and said hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"The person I mistook you for just now is the one you met in Academy City before, and his sense of direction is terrible!"
Ji Xiaoge looked at Mo Tan with burning eyes, frowned and said: "Okay Weird!"
Although his heart stopped for a moment, Mo Tan, who knew that the other party did not doubt his identity at all, still laughed calmly and complained helplessly: "Look at what you said. Do idiots have no human rights? Neither I nor that person named Brother Mo are equal human beings like you, and we should not be discriminated against because we can’t distinguish between east and west.”
As a result, Ji Xiaoge hadn't spoken yet, but Ji Xiaodao, who had been expressionless since just now, smiled and nodded: "That's it."
This smile like a melting glacier gave Mo Tan a smile at that time. It was partly a matter of being dumbfounded and a little surprised, but more importantly, we had known each other for almost a year, and the number of times Ji Xiaodao laughed like this could be counted with one slap.
Ji Xiaoge was also surprised, and then he hugged his sister hard and rubbed her face wildly, saying with ecstasy: "Our Xiaodao is so cute!"
"Ahem, you guys talk first, I have to go to class."
Mo Tan pointed to the little genius phone watch on his wrist and smiled at the two sisters hugging each other in front of him: "Don't worry, how can I get to the academy from here? I still know, come out from mouth B After you go there, just keep walking and look to the right when you go upstairs. Bye."
After that, he waved to the two of them and blended into the crowd and left quickly. As for the reason, on the one hand. It was indeed because he was in a hurry to go to class. On the other hand, he felt that the topic just now was very dangerous. After all, Ji Xiaoge twice associated himself with the person named 'Mo' in the World of Innocence. This was definitely considered It's not a good thing.
In short, it is definitely a wise move to leave the scene quickly.
In this way, Mo Tan smoothly followed the route he had memorized by rote, and with the help of the little genius's phone, he left the underground from Exit B, which had only one way. After nervously turning his head and looking to the right, he felt relieved. Take a breath.
Thank God, he did not lose himself this time, but successfully found——
Cang! ! !
With a crisp sound coming from a short distance away, Mo Tan felt his eyes go dark, and then lost consciousness due to a strong headache.
……
Time flies, years flies
About twenty minutes later, Mo Tan, who was destined to be late for signing in, slowly woke up in a utility room, and then——
"Yo~"
He has messy black hair, is reasonably good-looking, and wears an unconventional black T-shirt ('Fresh Flying Syndrome' is printed on the front, and 'Forbidden to Like First Graders' is printed on the back in mysterious cursive script) , jeans and sneakers, with a listless look on his face as if everyone owed him a few dollars, the man raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and greeted him: "Are you okay?"
"I am …”
"You were hit from behind and fainted. Fortunately, your skull was not injured. I have checked it for you. If nothing else goes wrong, you shouldn't even have a concussion."
"Thank you, then you are..."
"The person who just hit you with a brick."
