It was impossible for the two of them to continue in this strange confrontation, so Muriel quickly gave in.
She put on a light smile and said: "It is true that I underestimated you. What did you want to talk about just now? Go ahead."
While saying this.
Muriel tentatively leaned back slightly. Seeing that the young man had no reaction, she quickly jumped back to widen the distance between them.
She touched her neck with lingering fear, which still seemed to be cold, and looked at the person opposite with some fear.
Xu Shuo also took back the fruit knife and smiled slightly at Muriel who landed not far away: "I didn't say anything just now, now can I continue?"
Muriel smiled without embarrassment: "People with strength always have to show some respect, right?"
"Yeah."
Xu Shuo was noncommittal.
He casually let go of the fruit knife in his hand, but the blade did not fall to the ground. Instead, it stayed motionless in mid-air, as if it was being pulled by something and fixed here.
Then the tip of the knife slowly turned towards Muriel.
He looked up.
The smile in the sapphire blue eyes was very bright: "But I don't want to continue, because you don't seem to know anything."
——Whether it was when he mentioned the mayor's illegal orders or when he explained the departments of the New Security Bureau and the inspection team, this woman acted calmly.
But in fact, the hidden doubts were also obvious in Xu Shuo's observations.
The other party really doesn't have much information here.
Although this may also be caused by information asymmetry.
After all, for players who enter this world for the first time, it is basically difficult for them to understand the worldview and the relationship between forces unless they are specifically informed of the character information.
After all, the character information in the player's handbook will only introduce the information related to the character.
But Xu Shuo once attacked the script of this world.
And he left an impression.
So it was originally in the area of intelligence collection.
He should naturally have an advantage over other players.
result……
This script seems to be unconventional.
The "Inspection Team", a new human specialized force directly affiliated with the Imperial Council of Representatives, can now be directly ordered around by a small administrative mayor, and it unconditionally obeys the command of a mayor's secretary.
What's more, in this empire that is encroached and ruled by nobles and plutocrats, an administrative mayor can actually invade the territory of the Hafed family at will.
A landed family is no longer a small noble.
At least not the kind of petty noble who can be hunted down at will.
Thinking about this.
Xu Shuo suddenly had a strange illusion.
just like……
Everything in this world is turned upside down.
The original order is distorted, the original cognition is destroyed, and everything new is assembled into an upside-down world.
Oh, except there are still impenetrable classes.
…
"Since you don't plan to talk anymore, I guess you won't just take me back without any help, right?"
Muriel's sudden voice brought Xu Shuo back from his wandering thoughts.
Xu Shuo glanced at her.
The slender mechanical rifle she was holding before had been thrown away, and what Muriel was holding now was a black soft whip.
Judging from the opponent's attack method just now.
This woman is probably not good at hot weapons.
Xu Shuo didn't say anything to her.
The fruit knife that was just stagnant in mid-air quickly flew over there. It was indeed like a straight line being pulled. It rushed straight along this track towards the woman on the opposite side.
Muriel quickly raised her arm, and the soft whip in her hand flew up like magic, instantly knocking away the incoming fruit knife.
And when she blocked the blow with a whip.
The young man opposite had also turned around and left the place. In the dust and smoke surrounding him, his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the ruins.
Muriel had actually noticed it a long time ago.
But she didn't continue the pursuit.
Just as the other party just threw a small fruit knife over to disturb his vision.
She also slowed down half a beat perfunctorily.
Because the other party was right about one thing before——
She really had no intention of actively pursuing this group of people.
So whether it was when going to the slums to arrest people, or after finishing the space storm problem in Tongliao Port, or when getting the news about the mission and rushing to the Hafed family territory.
——She is quite unmotivated.
Mainly because Muriel focused on researching information about her character.
——
[She feels very tired, because every day she opens the micro-end, it is full of indistinguishable work tasks day after day. Whenever she sees these tasks, she feels depressed and breathless. 】
[Of course, she is not tired because she needs to run around, but because of this unchanging daily routine. 】
[The mayor would not waste time communicating with her. He would only send out and accept her work step by step. This made her feel like she was just a cold robot. After losing all her emotions, she became step by step and unchanging. . 】
[She has begun to forget why she wants to guard this city, because every boring day here will no longer give her any sense of accomplishment. 】
[It will only make her want to escape crazily. 】
——
So as soon as Muriel returned to the administrative building, she immediately wanted to test the mayor there, but in the end she couldn't even get through the office door.
She even suspected that there was no one there at all.
After all, it’s easy to make remote calls in this world.
But mainly she wanted to find out.
What kind of world is this?
What kind of world would be so depressing that the mayor's secretary, who is inferior to one person and outnumbers ten thousand people, just wants to escape from here.
After all, here, whether it is the inspection team of the empire's top troops, or the so-called nobles and new humans, she can easily step on her feet.
She just had to do the job the mayor issued.
Oh, and it also needs to cooperate with the work of the brain.
But is the job of dealing with space storms so oppressive?
…
When Muriel thought of this.
The microtip on her hand rang.
The harsh electronic sound brought her back to her thoughts almost instantly. It was almost like an instinct. When Muriel reacted, she had already raised her hand to open the micro-end.
Muriel: "..."
What a terrible work spirit.
She complained in her mind, opened the email from the mayor, and looked thoughtfully at the message floating on the screen.
[Kill Master Hafed at all costs. ]
Muriel's eyes flickered.
Master Hafed - is he the red-haired girl from before who has a fetish for cross-dressing?
That was the person who initially lost something for her to find in the beginning.
really……
Just like what the guy just said.
The mission issued by the mayor was strangely inconsistent.
Since I have long been afraid of the young master of the Hafed family, and in fact, I am not afraid of the other party's aristocratic power.
Then why not control the other party from the beginning, but first urgently ask her to go to the slums to find a garbage-picking boy who is not even mentioned now?
even.
Muriel vaguely guessed.
If it weren't for those few people who fled into Hafed's territory while evading the pursuit of the inspection team.
She doesn't seem to be aware of this even if she is given a task?
It's almost like...
Totally being played.
