Chapter 211 Wandering in the Mortal World
Ji Mo stood up and helped Lin Miaomiao, who had calmed down.
Having just broken through the second level, one must be physically and mentally exhausted.
Ji Mo patted her back lightly, and Lin Miaomiao, who was immersed in the breakthrough, came back to her senses.
"Hey, Master, what is this for?"
"You've just achieved a breakthrough, and your body is still feeling unwell. Breaking through consumes a lot of energy, both physically and mentally. Don't practice tonight."
"Go back to your room and rest."
"I'm fine, Master."
Having said that, Lin Miaomiao did not struggle.
Just quietly being taken away by the end of the season.
……
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Snow fell from the sky again.
Facing the snowflakes, we arrived at the underground cemetery as promised at the end of the season.
The scene here remains the same, without any change, the elder smoking tobacco leans against the coffin.
Puffs of white mist came out of his mouth and nostrils.
"You came early today."
“More motivated than I thought.”
Ji Mo nodded, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
If I hadn't come earlier, who knows what strange ideas you would come up with.
At the beginning, Ji Mo arrived on time and never late, but the elders thought that it was a professional quality for an assassin to scout the place in advance, and then they abused him. Since then, Ji Mo was too lazy to pay attention to the elders and always arrived much earlier.
Although the two had never set a time agreement, Ji Mo knew that if he did not arrive after eight o'clock in the morning, he would definitely be abused.
Although the pain doesn't matter anymore at the end of the season.
But it is always better to have less trouble than more.
"What happened today?"
The elder pinched the tobacco in his mouth with two fingers, placed it on the coffin lid and tapped it a few times to shake off the burnt ashes.
"That's very clever."
"There is indeed something going on."
He shook off the ashes and brought the cigarette to his lips again, taking a deep breath.
White smoke drifted out of his nostrils.
"The intelligence from your last reconnaissance has been verified."
"It is indeed as you said, a level three porcupine."
"Due to your limited strength, this matter is no longer under your jurisdiction, but you also have a new mission."
"Starting tomorrow, return to the Ji family, contact the branch, join the branch's team at the Ji family, and follow them in their mission activities."
Ji Mo frowned slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"literal meaning."
The elder flicked off the ash.
"I'm not your babysitter, and you have no right to refuse."
"Don't become more aggressive and forget the priorities just because I've been nice to you lately."
“If in doubt, think for yourself.”
"Anything else you want to ask?"
The elder smiled rarely and explained to Ji Mo.
But this smile is chilling, and it implies that if you say one more word, you will be cut into pieces.
"Yeah, I got it."
Ji Mo nodded.
The elder threw the burnt tobacco in his hand to the ground and stomped it out.
He clapped his hands and cleared his throat.
"Okay, today's mission is over. Go back and pack up. Be on standby in the cafeteria tomorrow morning. Someone will be there to find you then."
After saying that, the elder pushed Ji Mo out of the room and told him to get out.
On the way home, snowflakes were dancing in the sky and falling on Ji Mo's head, turning into clear water, bringing a little coolness and wetting Ji Mo's clothes.
"Going back to Ji's house?"
"Or should I say, are we finally going back?"
Ji Mo had anticipated this mission long ago. He had this premonition since his first contact with the elder.
After all, he was serving the entire branch, and the elders' "careful training" was definitely not intended for him to be a scout.
But he really wanted to murder some people in the Ji family. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a loss to go through so much trouble to save himself.
The walking season suddenly stopped. He raised his palm and caught the snowflakes falling from the sky. The snowflakes fell into his hand and melted. No matter how long he waited, not a single snowflake would remain in his palm.
He exhaled a breath of white air.
"It's later than I expected."
"But what does it mean to infiltrate the team?"
"Do I need to arrange another identity for myself?"
"Or does he follow the team on expeditions during the day and hide himself to carry out assassinations at night?"
"Or are these teams all assassins they carefully trained?"
If you think about it, such a thing is unlikely to happen.
As an assassin, you can only be most effective when you are alone.
Contact with people will most likely only increase the risk of exposure, and Ji Mo has never learned how to cooperate with others to carry out assassinations.
Besides, Ji Mo didn't trust them. As for going out to fight during the day and assassinating at night, it was impossible.
Just the preparations before the assassination would take at least a week at the end of the season to scout the area and collect intelligence.
"So what does this mean?" Ji Mo couldn't figure it out.
"But now that we are here, let's make the best of it and wait for what happens next."
The cold wind blew from afar, and the wet clothes were a bit biting. At the end of the season, I took out the scarf that was stored in the storage ring.
Wear it around your neck to keep out the cold.
……
The sky was gloomy and the snow was still falling.
Walking on the streets of the small town at the end of the season, there were very few people on the road at this moment, and only a few shops were open with people shouting inside.
White steam wafts out of the steamer, carrying the aroma of buns into the nostrils of passers-by.
"Is it noon yet?"
At the end of the season, the mouth is tucked under the scarf to protect against the cold.
This time he did not use spiritual energy to dry his clothes, nor did he use spiritual energy to resist the severe cold.
He was like an ordinary person, not knowing how to use any means, not holding an umbrella, and walking aimlessly in this cold winter.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the street, Ji Mo felt a little hungry.
He originally wanted to buy some snacks on the street, but after a careful look, he found that there was no money in his storage ring, so he gave up.
It’s not that Ji Mo cherishes these spirit stones, but he doesn’t want to attract other people’s attention now.
Spending spirit stones would definitely attract attention in this mortal street.
At the end of the season, he looked around and finally came to a tavern.
It is cold now, and there are many customers in the tavern. Many tourists and merchants passing through the town stop here.
The tavern was very lively. Ji Mo walked to a secluded corner, and the waiter quickly noticed this strange man with snowflakes on his head.
But the clothes at the end of the season are quite good, and they don't look like beggars on the street.
After serving the previous table, he came to Ji Mo and put down the menu.
"Sir, what do you want to eat?"
Ji Mo stared at the menu, unsure of what to do, and he glanced over.
The waiter holding the paper was waiting with a smile.
Looking at Ji Mo's eyes, the waiter instantly understood what he meant.
"Is this your first time visiting our shop?"
"Would you like me to recommend some of our fine products?"
Ji Mo nodded.
The waiter began to talk incessantly.
I have to say that these people who live in the mortal world have excellent eloquence.
At the end of the season, he reluctantly picked a few dishes from his words.
"Okay, one serving of green peppers stuffed with meat, two ounces of beef, a bowl of wontons, and a pot of warm wine."
"Sir, please wait a moment, it will be here soon~", and then the waiter turned around and left with the menu.
