duplicity

"I really didn't expect the destination to be so close to your home." Standing at the intersection of the deserted road, Nokulos and Xue Ran were standing on the side of the road chatting.

Nokulos held the fully expanded map in his hand and patiently found their current location. Xue Ran leaned on the road sign pole and watched the second hand on the watch move slowly one frame at a time.

All in all, they got lost.

"It's no big deal to spend more money to go there by car. What are you in such a hurry for?" Xue Ran said with a slight complaint.

"It's just that I don't want to be crowded in the car with a bunch of people. Besides, you didn't agree with me when I suggested it." Noculos replied.

"That's because you promised me at the beginning that you would not go on a wrong road. You should have studied the map more than a dozen times!" Recalling Noculos' promise before, Xue Ran regretted it now. And, sometimes excessive trust may not be a good thing, but the premise is that Noculos has been partnering with him for a long time, and she has never done things wrong. Xue Ran has always been assured, but this time they really are I stumbled.

"Flying at supersonic speed is more convenient than traveling in a car. What's more, even if you get lost, it's a big deal to find a nearby hotel to stay overnight and then go on the road tomorrow." They will not use the satellite navigation system issued by the organization unless it is a last resort. Because coming out this time was not a task issued by the organization, if colleagues find out, I'm afraid it will become a laughing stock for a while.

"So, you have wasted this time refuting me, right? What do you see from the map?" Xue Ran asked.

"I need more time, Blood Ran. (Ineed more time, Bleed.)" Nokulosbi looked at their location and the landmark building, then looked at the map and looked for the location with eyes wide open like a treasure hunt. Blood Ran was still on the side Relying on not going forward to help.

"Don't bother, someone will drive by in a few minutes, just ask the driver." The blood-red eyes glistened a little under the harsh midday sun.

"Okay, I give up." Noculos decisively put away the map. "Will you ask later or should I ask?"

"No action is needed, the driver is a proactive person."

"Police? How could (police) be in this kind of place?"

Why not in this kind of place?This is not a wilderness in the true sense. The crop circle that Noculos mentioned earlier is roughly located in Kansas (Kansas), and the characteristics of that place are still vivid.One is that he listened carefully to the lectures when he was in school, and the other is that a famous alien vigilante comrade grew up there, didn't he?

The development of agriculture and animal husbandry is its characteristic, and the direct expression is that the farmland is widely distributed. When I flew over and looked down on the entire ground from above, I am afraid that the farmland appeared the most.

Xue Ran doesn't care what his colleagues think, because no matter what they think, he can guess what they are thinking from the nuances of their heartbeats, so if you want to be friends, it's better not to think about anything.

"Okay, I see, the police. (Ok, Isee, police.)" Nokulos has used her extraordinary hearing and eyesight to see the blurred figure of the police car, so the next thing to do is to memorize the advice of being tall luggage.

Neither of them worried about being identified as suspicious by the police. The main reason was that the two of them looked and dressed too harmlessly, and the attributes of underage high school students who got lost unexpectedly when they went out to play were too high.

"Hi, what are you doing here, do you need help? (Hi, Whatwereyoudoinghere, needhelp?)"

Sure enough, as predicted before, the policeman driving by stopped and rolled down the window to ask kindly.

"...We got lost. (Welost.)" Xue Ran pretended to be embarrassed to speak, and answered after five or six seconds.

"Yes, we wanted to see the scene of the crop circle we discovered before, but we didn't know how to go here." Noculos said.

"Oh, I know where you are going, but why are you two alone here? Where is your guardian?" The policeman looked around and took a general look at the two of them.

"We came out on our own." This is the shortcoming of Asians. It looks like how old you are, unlike Europeans and Americans who basically can't tell the exact age from the age of 16 to the age of 30. After all, Asians at this age develop much later than Europeans and Americans, so it is understandable for Mr. Police to suspect their age.

"Because that place is very close to an old house of Ran's distant relatives, the two of us originally planned to live there for two days, during which time we could visit the mysterious alien ruins." There was an obvious hint, while Noculos explained, he also wrapped his arms around Xue Ran's arm intimately.

It should be thankful that they chose a weekend when they could come out to play instead of a weekday, otherwise Mr. Police would definitely question why they ran out for vacation instead of attending school, if they could not give appropriate The answer is that they may have to be forced to ask for their home address and be forcibly sent back.

Ugh, the troubled American education system...

"Well, ok, comeon, I can pick you up [-]% by the way. In fact, that place is not too far from here, or should you tell me where you live and I will send you there first?" The police finally judged Xue Ran and Nuo in their hearts. Kuros was not the kind of idler who would hold back his parents, school and society. After a friendly smile, he opened the back door and let them come up.

"Thank you, sir. (Thank you, sir.)" Xue Ran, as a polite teenager, naturally wants to thank the policeman, while Nokulos wants to play a slightly introverted girl and smile at the policeman implicitly.

"It doesn't matter, there was a time when I drove past there before and I always saw some people walking around the scene with quite professional props or self-made props, doing all kinds of things back and forth. Observing the experiment, sometimes there will be congested traffic nearby. I don’t know what is worth studying. The broken wheat is still wheat no matter how you observe it under a microscope. "The policeman seems to be a very talkative person, and after Xue Ran and Nokulos got into the car, he started the topic about the magic circle on his own.

"Are you also planning to go there to study wheat? The timing is not bad. The wheat fanatic researchers have calmed down a lot. The traffic of crop circles has dropped a lot. Before, the traffic police had to keep an eye on them every day. Look there, and listen to one of my traffic police buddies say..."

It's not 01:30 o'clock. In order to maintain his polite side, Nokulos still insisted on smiling, as if he was a friendly audience, and nodded to confirm Mr. Police's topic, but Relatively, Xue Ran was much more relaxed, because he had been looking at the wheat field scenery outside the car window with his chin propped on his hands.

Who made Nokulos's work unfavorable this time, let her listen to Mr. Police's long speech for a while, maybe she can hear some useful information from it, after all, it is Noku who is really interested in this matter Ross is not blood ran.

Thinking of the home that he had mentioned to Mr. Police before, Xue Ran recalled some past events, which were when he and his parents first came to the United States.

The small villa in Kansas means the upper level of the Black Flag, because at that time the Humanoid Department of the Black Flag had been established for a while, but there were no members with superpowers that could be described as powerful, and it happened to be at that time His super powers awakened without warning...

The upper echelons who are both guides and leaders, Xue Ran has not seen a single individual of human race from inside. How bad is the black flag's intelligence network? He was still living in China at that time, and the black flag was far away. On the other side of the sea, why did they realize that they have superpowers and go overseas to China to find him?

"It's here. Let me tell you that it's not far away. It's like this for foreigners. When you get to a strange place, you can't tell the direction, but you can't help it. You can only turn around in a hurry." The topic of Mr. Police When the destination finally came to an end, Nokulos's smile had become very stiff. She pushed Xue Ran beside him, who was still distracted, and signaled him to get out of the car.

"Thank you!" Noculos waved towards the police car that was gradually going away, and Xue Ran, who was in a daze, also waved, and then the two officially started their journey of searching for clues to the alien ruins.

"What were you thinking about so preoccupied just now? Are you okay? (you ok?)" She could tell at a glance that her partner was in a different state from usual, so she asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something from the past." Xue Ran stretched his waist, looked at the watch on his hand, it was already time to go to bed at noon, and there should be fewer people visiting at this time.

"I put a few sandwiches in my bag, let's make do with it for lunch." Now that they both arrived at their destination, they were not in a hurry, so they sat on the side of the road and each held a sandwich to fill their stomachs .

"When I have time, I will take you to an authentic Chinese restaurant." Xue Ran said after wiping the corners of his mouth.

"Didn't they all tell you to take a bite, you will make people sad." Noculos squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly.

"It's not aimed at you, but I suddenly remembered the time when I ate dumplings and glutinous rice balls with my parents and relatives during the Chinese New Year. Ruo Ye liked to eat glutinous rice balls stuffed with chocolate or black sesame seeds..."

"Stop it, I can't imagine the taste of those foods at all, and, why did you mention your cousin again without knowing it?"

"Because I can see her every New Year's Eve, it's almost the same every year." The gratified brother showed his expression again.

Nokulos didn't bother to complain or refute anymore, she carried her bag and walked directly to the wheat field, regardless of whether Xue Ran followed or not.

From now on, she will never mention his cousin in front of him again, never again!
