Neverland

The place where Xu Muzhou woke up this time was different from the previous ones - he woke up in a moving carriage.

Yan Cen put off this cleaning task for too long, until Xu Muzhou's calendar changed to the second line, Yan Cen let go and said that it could be carried out.

This also caused Xu Muzhou to be sent to the mission world immediately after reading the mission information for the first time, without any buffer period in between.

Half an hour ago, he was still in Room 317 of Neverland, holding up a folder of mission information, and asked Yan Cen with an expression of disbelief: "This is the mission world that Zhong Lu chose for the three of us?"

"Yes." Yan Cen scratched a few strokes on the folder, and after choosing a new task identity, he said casually, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"...I don't like it very much." Xu Muzhou said as tactfully as possible: "I don't understand the language."

Xu Muzhou always thought that all the cleanup tasks should be generated in his cognitive state, even if the timeline is uncertain, at least it should be in this area—I didn't expect that Neverland also has overseas business.

"Sent me to Europe in the nineteenth century, what should I do?" Xu Muzhou said.

"Don't worry." Yan Cen smoothed the little fox's hair: "Neverland has an automatic translation system, don't be afraid."

"...So caring?" Xu Muzhou asked suspiciously, "Translate mine or someone else's?"

"Everything is translated. Neverland will translate what you say or what you hear." Yan Cen finished filling out the task information, threw the pen back on the coffee table, and said: "This is convenient for Neverland. Yes, after all, the language habits of different timeline tasks are different, if you don’t make a translation system, you can’t do the work of the guidance system.”

It seems to make sense, Xu Muzhou thought.

The mission information this time is clearer than the previous two. The mission location is the private estate of Count Robert, and the target of the mission is the wife of Count Robert.

The task rating did not define the risk factor, but drew three and a half stars on it.Yan Cen came over to have a look, and said before Xu Muzhou asked, "There may be danger, but it's not a big problem."

It doesn't matter to Xu Muzhou, after all, he has come back from high-risk missions, and now he thinks these ordinary missions are trivial.

"What about Song Yan?" Xu Muzhou asked, "Isn't she coming?"

"She teleported from her own place." Yan Cen said.

Yan Cen thought he was talking too much, so he closed the folder in his hand, took the folder from Xu Muzhou's hand and threw it on the coffee table, walked up to Xu Muzhou, wrapped his arms around his back, and A hand covered his eyes.

"There is no buffer period today." Yan Cen said, "Don't be nervous, it will be over soon."

Before Xu Muzhou had time to react, he felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body seemed to be sucked into a large drum washing machine.

He didn't even remember when Yan Cen let go of his hand, the dizzy feeling of dizziness only lasted for about half a second, and Xu Muzhou felt his whole body sink, as if he had fallen into something solid.

In the next second, the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling over the gravel road reached his ears.

Xu Muzhou opened his eyes, only to realize that it was dusk outside, and he was sitting in a slightly cramped closed carriage.A small lantern hung in the corner of the carriage, emitting a faint light.

A cane was placed on the car seat close to his calf, Xu Muzhou moved his shoulders and felt that the clothes on his body were a bit heavy.

This was the first time when he woke up from a mission and he was alone. Xu Muzhou curled up his fingers nervously, only to realize that he was holding a letter in his hand.

In addition, Xu Muzhou also found that he was wearing a complicated dress, and there was a delicate eagle brooch hanging on his left chest.

Judging by Xu Muzhou's barren vision for jewellery, it was probably pure gold.

No wonder it's so heavy, Xu Muzhou cursed.

He took off the hanging lamp in the corner of the carriage and placed it on the seat opposite him, then bent down and looked at the letter in his hand facing the light.

There are traces of wax sealing on the interface of the envelope, which has probably been taken apart now, and there is a neat wax knife scratch in the middle of the wax seal.Xu Muzhou didn't open it hastily, but closed the envelope tightly first, and looked at the wax seal traces of the prototype for a while.

It looked like a family coat of arms of a noble family, with a circle of chains around the rounded edge, a knife and gun back cover, and a withered rose on it. The rose stem was wrapped around the handle of the wall and came out from the muzzle of the gun.Although it looks very complicated, it is not noisy and chaotic at all when it is condensed on a coin-sized wax seal.

"Count Robert." Xu Muzhou said in a low voice: "...the countess of this era, what obsessions can she not solve by herself?"

As he spoke, he opened the envelope and took out a piece of hard paper from inside.This piece of paper is very finely made, with a thin gold thread sewn on the edge, it is an invitation.

This invitation was signed by the so-called "Count Robert", and the content on the invitation was also very concise. It said that it was the anniversary of his ten-year marriage with his wife, so people from all walks of life were invited to the manor to attend a seven-day banquet.

Xu Muzhou still chose to keep his original identity this time—probably because he was afraid of disturbing the original historical records in this timeline. The background of the task generated by Neverland was a noble young master, and his status was equal, although There is the glory of the family, but he does not have any titles.

Xu Muzhou rubbed the letter paper for a while, and read the rows of polite words on it.Neverland's translation system should be built-in, it's perfect, even this invitation has been translated into Chinese fonts that Xu Muzhou can obtain information from.

The invitation only said that the banquet will officially start a day later, Xu Muzhou looked at the gradually darkening night outside, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

——The next time I go back to Neverland, I have to apply for some communication items anyway, Xu Muzhou thought, otherwise he would always be unable to find his teammates when he opened his eyes.

But Xu Muzhou didn't panic too much, after all, he was used to it after the last mission.Anyway, Yan Cen will always be seen in the mission line, it doesn't matter sooner or later.

Xu Muzhou stuffed the invitation back into the envelope, and sealed the envelope according to the crease.The corner of the envelope was wiped with something, Xu Muzhou only felt as if his fingers had just wiped a small wet mark.

He twirled it with his thumb and index finger, only to smell a very slight floral scent, which was somewhat familiar to him, but Xu Muzhou thought for a while, but couldn't remember where he had smelled it, so for the time being give up.

Xu Muzhou hung the headlights back to the corner of the wall, and looked out the window with his chin in his hand.It has been less than ten minutes since he woke up, but no one has passed by this road.

At this time, there were no street lights, and it was pitch black outside the window, so Xu Muzhou was not sure what time it was.

The window of the carriage was very narrow, Xu Muzhou stuck to the glass and looked forward, but he could only see the silhouette of the coachman in front.

Xu Muzhou really couldn't see anything based on the black material alone, so with a thought, he reached out and knocked on the glass.

The sound insulation effect of the carriage was mediocre, and the coachman heard his call almost immediately, and responded, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"

——It wasn't Yan Cen's voice.

Xu Muzhou didn't quite know whether he was more "as expected" or more disappointed.He coughed dryly, put up the airs with the aristocratic appearance he imagined, and asked, "How long will it be?"

"Soon," said the coachman, "it will arrive on time at nine o'clock in the evening."

Xu Muzhou paused, hummed, and didn't ask again.Although he was curious about what time it is now, after thinking about it, he didn't know much about this era, but he also heard it in the architectural history course of the university. Before Song Yan, it was better for him to talk as little as possible.

This dark gravel road seemed to never end, Xu Muzhou yawned lazily, and was drowsy from being shaken by the carriage. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he heard a horseshoe neighing from ahead.

The carriage stopped.

Xu Muzhou shuddered and came to his senses completely. He looked outside and found that his carriage was not far to the left and right, and there were several other carriages parked there.

The exterior ornaments of the carriages are all different, which should indicate different identities.

The carriage on Xu Muzhou's left was parked very close to him, only about two meters away.Xu Muzhou took a careful look, and found that this carriage was simpler than the others, and it didn't have any badge patterns representing his identity.

"Master." The coachman had stopped his horse, walked over and opened the door for him: "Please get out of the car."

Xu Muzhou nervously squeezed the invitation card in his hand, and the lotus leaf sleeves covered up his little movement well, so no one noticed.

He paused for two seconds, and quickly glanced at the situation outside from the corner of his eye. He watched the owners of other families getting out of the car one after another, and then he pretended to straighten his clothes, and was helped out of the car by his own driver.

When Xu Muzhou got out of the car, he took another look to make sure that Yan Cen was not among the banquet attendants.He frowned, feeling a little surprised.

"This young master."

Before Xu Muzhou could stand still, a soft call with a smile came from behind him.Xu Muzhou only felt that the voice was very familiar, and turned his head subconsciously, only to realize that the person who came was actually an acquaintance.

Probably Neverland would make some minor adjustments when generating an identity. She didn't wear a tutu skirt like other aristocratic women, but wore a long suit similar to a dress, with a piece of clothing in her waist pocket. Pocket watch, buckled on the chest.

Behind her was a child who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

Song Yan's short hair was replaced by slightly curly light blonde long hair, Xu Muzhou almost didn't recognize this outfit.

"I am the earl's personal doctor, and I am also invited to this banquet." Song Yan smiled at him politely, then raised her hand towards his carriage, and made a signal gesture.

"Take the liberty to start a conversation. I'm sorry to interrupt you. But..." Song Yan said, "Your walking stick has fallen."
