Beauty Man: Cat Hero Manager

Chapter 13 A new episode of the mission

At 06:30 in the evening, Yi Guo took advantage of the time when Old Ford was out shopping for groceries, sneaked out of the house, and rushed to the vicinity of the Clock Hotel in advance.

The new member Nian Lixia had already sent a message to inform Xingguang in advance, and this time he went out with him, no one sat in front of the computer, and the video call was naturally terminated.

"I should arrange a battle recorder for her as soon as possible... Otherwise, I will follow up more and more times in future missions, and it is not a solution to not have a record..."

Ten minutes later, a slightly familiar figure kept approaching from a distance. It was a slender girl with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in a plain school uniform, struggling to take something out of the backpack in her hand.

It can't be her...

The girl took out the sunglasses and mask from her bag, put it on her face, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the clock hotel.

It's starlight.

Don't you think, kid, that you're getting a little too much attention when you start dragging in such a public place?

Yi Guo shook his head helplessly, and at the same time closed his eyes, allowing his consciousness to connect to the starlight.

"Ding!"

"Hello, Miss Starlight."

"Who?" Xingguang was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind, and accidentally called out, causing several passers-by around to cast suspicious glances at her.

"I'm Nian Lixia, a new member of the team, the boss should have notified you in advance."

"Oh, it's like this... I am Xingguang, please take care of me..."

The girl stood where she was, and stretched out a hand in a daze, wanting to shake hands with this nonexistent Mr. "Nian Li Xia".

hiss.

What should I do?
"Well... I'm not used to shaking hands, sorry."

In order not to expose himself, he could only cruelly reject the other party's kindness.

"Ah..." Looking at Xingguang who was stunned and speechless, for some reason, Yi Guo suddenly felt sorry for him.

Sorry.

The dull and distant bell rang in the distance, and after seven full strikes, a woman dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, and with a proud figure stood at the door of the Clock Hotel.

"Are you here to participate in the bodyguard mission?"

The woman's voice was full of arrogance, and her domineering appearance formed a strong contrast with the terrifying starlight standing in front of her.

"Yes... yes, Miss Alice..."

"Well, being able to call out the name directly means that you have read the details of the mission." Alice looked around, but did not find the second person, "Where is the other member of the team? I remember that I asked for two Personally?"

Listening to the other party's inquiry, the clear notification sounded again, and Yi Guo connected his consciousness with the other party.

"Hello, Miss Alice, I'm sorry that I can only communicate with you in this way because of my ability problem."

"Well, it's okay, let's go."

The woman flicked her hair and strode forward, leaving Xingguang alone at a loss.

"Where are we... going?" She looked at the woman who regarded herself as air, a little dazed.

"Let's follow." Yi Guo's voice interrupted the girl's daze, and urged her to rush to the benefactor's side.

It was seven o'clock, and the sky in early autumn had completely darkened, and the light of the street lamps cast long shadows on the ground. Under such conditions, the few people moved forward all the way, and finally stopped at the door of a coffee shop on the corner of the street.

The pace of life in the new urban area is very slow. Compared with big cities like New York, people here live a lazy and comfortable life. Although there are no places of interest around the city, if you just want to experience a leisurely life, this is indeed a place. Good choice.

"Go and help me take out the coffee I ordered, a medium cup of caramel macchiato, and keep the change you got back."

Alice greeted Starlight behind her, and pointed to a row of take-away drinks neatly arranged on the counter in the store. Her instructions were clear and she had a sense of leadership.

"Okay..." The girl looked hesitantly at the clerk who was watching them gently in the room, swallowed hesitantly, opened the door and walked in.

Dealing with outsiders has never been her strong point, let alone such a strong type.

"Relax, Miss Xingguang, you are almost writing nervousness on your face." Yi Guo saw the girl's predicament, and because he knew her character, he took this opportunity to comfort her. other side.

"I think too... the main reason is...Miss Alice inexplicably makes me feel...another strong sense of control! It's the kind that attends a school party and is drawn by the host to go all the way The feeling of performing talents in front of my classmates! She is the host who deliberately beat me!"

This kid...what is his mind pretending to be...

"What are you muttering about?" The clerk approached suddenly from behind Xingguang, and softly asked about his needs.

"Ah... next... I want..." The girl looked around blankly, her nervousness made her brain go blank, and she completely forgot about Alice's order.

"Caramel Macchiato to take away." Yi Guo reminded in Xingguang's mind.

"Yes! Caramel Macchiato to go!"

The tension made her unconsciously yell out the answer, causing several people around to look at her and laugh slightly.

"Okay, caramel macchiato, large cup? Medium cup? Or small cup?" The clerk pointed to the three bags and continued to ask questions like a girl.

"Which one? Which one is it?"

"The medium cup is ordered at 35:[-], and I made a note to pick it up at [-] o'clock."

The woman walked into the store at some point, stood behind Xingguang, and gave the other party an answer.

"Okay, I wish you a pleasant meal."

Alice took the drink handed over from the other party, glanced at the starlight beside her with her head drooping, sighed softly, leaned over and took her hand, and pulled her out of the coffee shop.

Out of the store, the two of them didn't speak a word all the way. Alice's height of 1.8 meters 1.6 and Xingguang, who was only [-] meters, stood together. It felt like a mother took her daughter out for a walk after dinner.

"Thank you." After an unknown amount of time, the girl finally squeezed out two vague words.

"what?"

Compared with Alice's voice, Starlight's thanks were like a breeze blowing gently.

"I... I say thank you!"

The woman was taken aback by the sudden thanks, but soon returned to her original domineering state. She let go of Xingguang's hand and rubbed the girl's head.

"You're welcome, try to be brave next time."

Alice raised her hand and glanced at the time. It had been almost an hour since they left the Clock Hotel. She stretched her waist and said:
"It's almost time, let's get here almost today, you can get off work."

"Okay, Miss Alice." Xingguang bowed slightly to the other party. After the episode just now, her social fear seemed to have eased a lot.

"Where's the other Mr. Invisible Man? You can get off work, come out and say hello?"

"Okay, Miss Alice." Yi Guo was basically familiar with the operation of telepathy, he gathered his consciousness and communicated with the other party.

But this time, the other party didn't seem to have received his signal.

Ok?
"Mr. Invisible Man? Are you still there?"

"If you don't show up again, I will report to your boss that you ran away and give your team a bad review!"

Telepathy, is something wrong?

Yi Guo immediately began to try to re-establish a connection with Alice, but after trying several times, he found that he couldn't even return to the star sea that represented the consciousness of life around him.

It was only then that he saw that an abnormal red light lit up on the surface of the Prophet's bracelet around his neck at some point.
