Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047

"Running in a bit of a hurry?"

Lin Chichi crouched down, looking at the little girl in front of her with some confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

"How should I put it,"

The little girl scratched her head, "Originally, we weren’t here,"

She raised her hand and pointed to the west, "In a big city completely different from this side, initially my parents told me we would stay there for a few days, but then suddenly they told me we weren’t staying there anymore, and dad seemed to have even canceled the hotel we had booked,"

Then she looked up at Lin Chichi, "Then we only spent half a day there, and took an overnight train to come here."

Lin Chichi looked at the little girl, somewhat perplexed, "Let me get this straight, so you changed your original plan, were you planning to travel in Mote City? And then changed plans to come to Feklay?"

She could vaguely make out that the little girl was part of the family of three she had seen getting off the train in front of her.

It’s even possible that they were on the same train as her.

She looked at the little girl curiously, pondering, "Maybe there was something that made your parents change their mind?"

"But there wasn’t anything strange though,"

The little girl scratched her head, then seemingly remembered something, looking at Lin Chichi, "There was a weird guy who handed us a flyer, after seeing that flyer, dad seemed a bit anxious."

Lin Chichi was startled, asked immediately.

The girl seemed lost in thought, "While I was sleeping on the train, I seem to have overheard my dad and mom saying that they felt that city was no longer safe, there might be some hidden dangers."

"Your dad is quite sharp."

Lin Chichi exclaimed.

The flyer the little girl mentioned must be the same one she had received before, and the girl’s father could sense that Mote City was ’not very safe’ just from a flyer.

"Before, my dad disappeared for a while, and now he is a constable in the city,"

The little girl nodded slightly, "He seems to get startled easily."

"Disappeared for a while?"

Lin Chichi was slightly startled.

She lowered her head, glanced at the grass-woven amulet in the girl’s hand, seemed to realize something, then whispered, "Are you from the Newland City-State? Was your father one of the disappeared from Newland City-State before?"

The little girl widened her eyes, "Sister, how did you know?"

"I’ve been to Newland City-State before."

With ’K Belief’, speaking Tia language, the island-style grass-weaving, she should have realized sooner.

She had even specifically published reports about the Newland City-State before.

The little girl’s father was one of the disappearees from the Underground Palace incident, such experience generally wouldn’t hire someone directly as a constable but rather into a Transcendent organization.

Newland City-State’s control over the civilian ’K Belief’ is also quite strict, the principle is pretty much the same as in the Western Lands, trying to prevent the emergence of Sect groups using ’K’ as a cover.

And as a Transcendent employee, the girl’s father would clearly understand this, so seeing the flyer, he immediately realized there was an issue with this organization.

Plus, having had the experience of ’disappearing’ and deeper contact with the Transcendent, fearing that his family might be targeted by some special sect due to the flyer, he promptly fled from Mote City.

After a moment of thought, she picked up her phone, sent a message to Yan Yue, ’Yan Yue Sister, did you receive a report about the ’Destroyer K Church’ from last night in Newland City-State?’

After a brief wait, Yan Yue replied,

’There was one, seems like an employee traveling from Newland City-State to Mote City received a flyer and then sent a warning, but by the time the report was forwarded last night, we were already on our way to the hotel, what’s up?’

It seems indeed there was a realization that something was wrong, just that they reported to Newland City-State first, then waited for them to handle it, wasting a bit of time.

’Nothing much, I seem to have met the family of that reporter.’

Lin Chichi quickly replied with a sentence.

Then she looked up, at the little girl patiently waiting for her to finish sending the message, smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, where are your mom and dad?"

"They are in that hotel over there,"

The little girl raised her hand, pointing across the street to a budget hotel, "They were too exhausted, they didn’t sleep well last night."

"So, you took the chance while your parents were asleep to come out and sell grass-woven amulets?"

Lin Chichi was taken aback.

The little girl shook her head, "I don’t speak the language here, I only speak Tia language and a bit of Central Earth language, the brothers and sisters who pass by don’t pay attention to me."

"So you saw me and came over?"

Lin Chichi reacted, laughed.

On this entire street, she’s the only person from Central Earth.

The little girl nodded, then lowered her head to look at the grass-woven amulet in her hand.

"This place is too dangerous, don’t run so far away from your parents in the future, they’d be scared to death if they woke up and didn’t see you."

During the conversation, Lin Chichi also reached into her coat pocket.

She didn’t carry a separate purse for convenience while rushing for the train, she found time to switch from a dress to light-colored loose jeans, a white T-shirt, and a khaki short jacket, and aside from the T-shirt, both jeans and jacket had many pockets.

She quickly pulled out a small wallet from an independent pocket inside the jacket.

"Also, this is the Western Lands, they don’t use Tia’s Golden Shields,"

She fished out a fifty Golden Shield banknote from the wallet and handed it to the little girl, smiling, "But it so happens, I still have some Golden Shields left from Newland City-State that I didn’t spend."

"That’s too much, I can’t change it."

The little girl glanced at the money in Lin Chichi’s hand, shaking her head.

"But sister doesn’t have any other bills,"

Lin Chichi looked at her wallet, smiled, "It’s okay, the rest is your tip."

The little girl looked at the fifty Golden Shield note again, hesitated a bit, shook her head, and took back the amulet, "Then I can’t sell it to you, it’s too much, I can’t change it."

Lin Chichi was taken aback, looked at the little girl, chuckled helplessly.

The little girl was somewhat stubborn.

Then she looked at the girl’s determined eyes, did not press further, and put away the wallet, "Let me think where I can get this note changed into smaller denominations."

"No trouble, sister,"

The little girl shook her head, "Without using Golden Shield here, you definitely won’t find any nearby."

She bowed slightly to Lin Chichi, "Thank you, sister. I need to go back, my parents should be waking up."

Then she leaned close to Lin Chichi and whispered, "Sister, put your wallet away, keep it inside your clothes pocket, there are pickpockets around here."

Lin Chichi was slightly stunned, then she looked up around, some figures by the street unconsciously turned their heads to look at her, and as she raised her gaze, those people quickly looked away.

Then she looked away and gazed at the wide street, saying to the little girl, "Shall I walk you?"

The little girl also glanced at the wide street, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you, sister."

Lin Chichi stood up and walked across the street with the little girl, entering a budget hotel.

The hotel was obviously quite old; the carpets emitted a slight moldy smell, and the elevator was not card-operated, accessible to everyone.

Lin Chichi escorted the little girl to the fifth floor, stopping in front of a room near the elevator.

The little girl pulled out a room card, swiped it to open the door, but she did not push the door open immediately. Instead, she took out the grass-woven amulet from her pocket, took it out of the plastic bag, and handed it to Lin Chichi, "Thank you, sister."

Lin Chichi glanced at the amulet, realizing that the little girl wanted to give it to her, slightly stunned, "Isn’t this what you were selling for money?"

"But sister, you also walked me back home,"

The little girl blinked her eyes, pushing the amulet toward Lin Chichi further, "Previously, a brother also exchanged my amulet for a skewer of meat, K will bless kind-hearted people."

Lin Chichi looked at the amulet and finally slowly reached out to take it, smiling, "Then, thank you."

Then she thought of something, quickly said, "This place is not safer than Mote City, you should tell your parents to leave here as early as possible."

From the recent ’thief reminder,’ she had already understood that the girl in front of her was not the reckless type who would wander alone in unfamiliar environments.

On the contrary, this little girl had rich street smarts; her actions should all be within her own grasp, but it’s possibly her first time leaving her homeland, hence lacking knowledge of foreign customs and currencies.

The little girl nodded, held the doorknob, then she seemed to remember something too, saying to Lin Chichi,

"Sister, there are surveillance cameras at the hotel entrance and on the street, there are gendarmes nearby, those pickpocketers won’t make a move around here, there’s a bus stop downstairs, you can take the bus to leave directly from here, they won’t be able to find you, but be careful of pickpockets on the bus."

Lin Chichi smiled, giving the little girl a gesture of understanding.

It seems the little girl selling amulets outside the hotel entrance had surveyed the area herself.

The little girl also nodded, turned the door handle, and walked into the room.

Lin Chichi looked down at the grass-woven amulet in her hand, then put it away, took the elevator to the ground floor, and left the hotel.

Almost the moment she stepped out of the hotel, she felt the previously disappeared gazes appear on her again.

She yawned, dragging her suitcase along the street.

Several figures walked towards her, almost at the moment she left the camera’s range, one of those figures bumped into her.

Accompanied by a series of bone dislocating cracking sounds, Lin Chichi grabbed the hand that tried to reach into her pocket, pulled it slightly forward, then raised her knee and thrust it into the person’s abdomen.

Accompanied by a cry of pain, Lin Chichi raised her hand, lightly pulled, and directly threw the person to the ground.

At the same time, several other figures nearby quickly reacted, pulled out small knives, and swung directly at her.

The girl lifted her foot and performed a high split kick on the forehead of an incoming man, whose body stiffened and then fell to the ground rigidly.

Then, while the remaining figures stood stunned, she stepped forward and knocked the group down with three punches and several kicks.

At that moment, the first one she knocked down pulled out a short dagger from his embrace, hunched over trying to get up.

In an instant, a pair of khaki and light brown thick-soled leather shoes stomped directly on his back, and with a muffled sound, his chest forcefully met the ground due to strong external forces, and the dagger in his hand also fell aside.

The girl’s gaze turned to the people lying on the ground and asked in Tia language, "Does anyone here speak Tia language?"

The crowd raised their heads, swallowing as they looked at this cute and well-behaved Central Earth girl.

Lin Chichi’s calm gaze swept over the crowd again as she kicked back, sending a man silently creeping up from behind to clamp her down to the ground again.

"I, my father is a Tia immigrant, I know a little."

A figure in the crowd slowly spoke up.

Lin Chichi clapped her hands and addressed the figure, "I am a journalist, and I have some inquiries about ’K Belief.’ I’d like to interview you and your friends here. No need to stand, just speak lying down, and translate my words to your friends."

The figure nodded, not caring whether this ’little journalist’ was a real journalist or not, and began to whisper translations to his companions around him.

Seeing this, Lin Chichi breathed a sigh of relief.

The techniques Master taught are indeed powerful. Beating people up without much effort, much easier than using brute force,

Later, I surely need to boast about my achievements thoroughly to my senior sister.

Though she was elated inside, her face remained expressionless, giving a ’cold’ look to everyone.

Meanwhile, not far behind her, a taxi slowly stopped in the blind spot of a surveillance camera.

The driver looked up at the Central Earth girl who was ’interviewing’, slowly pulling out his phone.

Feklay ’Protect You Safety’ Taxi Company Headquarters

Behind the large glass door, a young receptionist was leaning down, organizing documents.

At that time, a gentle and calm voice slowly asked, "Where is your manager responsible for managing the taxis?"

"Do you have an appointment? Unfortunately, without one, you cannot···"

The receptionist quickly replied.

But by then, the gentle voice had already echoed again.

The receptionist lifted her head, looked at the empty hall in front of her, and was momentarily confused, "Haunted?"

At that time, in front of an office on the second floor, a Central Earth-looking young man had already stopped at the doorway.

He Ao, controlling Hao Yi’s clone, looked up at the office’s sign labeled ’Business Manager,’ toyed with the coin in his hand, and gently pushed open the office door.

The man inside, who was making a phone call, lifted his head in confusion toward the door.
