[Naruto] Ninja Live Report

Chapter 22 The Song of Water Country

【Water Country】

It was foggy again this morning.In the early morning, before the sun rises, the earth is shrouded in translucent white.The air is still filled with water vapor, mixed with the fragrant smell of flowers, and the clothes are wet.Everything is covered under this layer of mist.

What broke the silence were the footsteps of three people, one heavy, one brisk, and one, if it wasn't a top ninja or samurai, I believe no one would be able to hear its existence.

"Sister An, are you coming soon?" The girl's laughter was clear and sweet.

"Yes." This is An Zi, the head of intelligence of the magazine, her voice is flat, so ordinary that people forget it when they hear it.

Yu Lai was only silent for a moment, and then said with a light smile: "Well, Sister An, we are not familiar with this area, so please don't forget us later."

Manlou snorted next to "huh", obviously very displeased with the word "we".

Yulai turned sideways and took a look at Manlou. His eyes were clearly black and white, but they made people feel radiant: "What's the matter, Manlou? Are you feeling unwell? Also, it's been a bit hard the past few days."

Manlou's blood surged instantly: "You're not feeling well! I'm not that squeamish!"

"That's good." Yu Lai was not annoyed, she finished the sentence in a teasing tone, and then turned to exchange information with An Zi, leaving only Man Lou sullen.

——Damn it, why can't I control my temper when I meet her? !Manlou was furious, when he saw a stone on the side of the road, he felt uncomfortable and kicked it away.

Yu Lai chuckled again.

The whole building was even more suffocated.

The path under their feet was long and winding, winding into the depths of the mist.There were exquisite dewdrops on the fresh branches and leaves on both sides of the road. Unknowingly, the corners of the clothes of the three of them were also stained with the morning breath.

Yulai's eyebrows and eyes were curved, playing with her long black and smooth hair, a picture of a peaceful countryside was reflected in her eyes.

The sun finally came up and the road came to an end.The fog dissipated a bit, and a small village stood quietly in front of it, with a few wisps of cooking smoke slowly floating from there.

Anzi's footsteps paused almost imperceptibly for a second, and then moved forward as if nothing had happened.With the excitement of finally seeing people, Manlou rushed over excitedly; on the contrary, Yulai's smile deepened a bit.

As soon as he entered the village, Manlou was stunned, not because of anything else, but because of the poverty here.The whole village is full of thatched cottages, and you can tell from the four walls that they can't even achieve the basic function of sheltering from the wind—as long as the breeze blows, a few thatched grasses will float down from time to time.There are many people sleeping on the street, sallow and emaciated, with ragged clothes.A few dogs walked on the street with flimsy steps, so thin that no one would be surprised if they fell to the ground in the next second.

The building was neither advancing nor retreating, and stood there blankly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lai's voice came from behind, still smiling.She walked forward unhurriedly, glanced around, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing.

The last one to enter the village was Anzi. Her expression didn't change at all, and she didn't stop in her footsteps. She just said plainly: "Don't be in a daze, keep up."

"Yes~" Yu Lai responded immediately, and then started walking, the steps were still brisk.

Man Lou didn't seem to have reacted yet, he took two steps reflexively, and then shouted: "Wait! Here...don't we..."

Anzi just looked back at Manlou calmly, and then moved on without saying a word.

Yu Lai also turned her head, the constant smile in her eyes made Man Lou even more annoyed.

So, Manlou ran forward quickly, letting himself deliberately ignore Yulai's eyes, and said loudly: "They can't live any longer! Isn't there a lot of supplies in the agency, and I brought a lot... "

"Don't be stupid." This time, Manlou's words were directly interrupted.

Manlou obviously felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart. He was about to speak, but the voice he least wanted to hear sounded in his ears, although it was clear and pleasant.

"How long can you help? How much?" Yu Lai said with a smile, "Or, do you hope to attract the attention of others because of them, and then get hired by a magazine because of them?"

"I..." Manlou's face flushed instantly, "I just..."

Yu Lai didn't finish listening to what he said, just smiled again, and then moved on.

Manlou had no choice but to swallow the remaining half of the sentence, and walked forward, but his eyes still stayed on the dilapidated house.

The village hadn't woken up in the early morning, and the footsteps of the three echoed on the street.An Zi walked in the front, skillfully turned around, walked through the overgrown alleys and crumbling houses, and then found a small ancestral hall, and got into it.

Man Lou was still unhappy, but he also knew the secrecy required by the magazine, so he held his breath back and followed An Zi into the ancestral hall.

Like the houses outside, the ancestral hall is also made of thatch. Standing inside, you can still feel the cool breeze blowing.There is an old altar in front of it, on which is a small Buddha statue, covered with dust; beside it, the curtain full of wormholes can no longer see its original color.

An Zi seemed to turn a blind eye to everything around her, walked to the back of the Buddha statue and tapped lightly twice; after waiting for a few seconds, she came back again. "It's safe around here," she quickened her tone, "Go in."

As soon as the words fell, a door that only allowed one person to pass had appeared on the back wall.

Yu Lai nodded, and walked in with brisk steps, followed by Man Lou who said nothing.An Zi was last, and after checking again, he entered the small door.

Behind the door is a corridor, which is completely different from the village outside. The walls are made of reinforced concrete, and there is a row of fluorescent lights on it, making it as bright as the day as far as the eye can see.Although no vents can be seen, the air in the tunnel is very fresh, and there is a slight smell of soil in it; listen carefully, and there are some slight sounds made by machines running around.Walking into the corridor from the ancestral hall, the whole building feels like stepping from the abject poverty area to the modern city; only one door away, but it is a world of difference.

"This is one of the C-level teleportation points of the Kingdom of Water," Anzi lowered his voice slightly in the tunnel, "This level of teleportation point is open to all members of the magazine, and you will see the list in a while. Sugiba, you You need to memorize the list. Finally, don’t leak the list or take it out of the base.” As a senior director of the intelligence department, Anzi, an aboriginal, did not know the existence of time-travelers, but he knew that the magazine had “internal members ".

"Yeah, I see." Yu Lai responded immediately.

The corridor was not long, and it reached the end in about 5 minutes. There was something very familiar to Manlou and Yulai—the teleportation array.

"Just use it directly." An Zi said.The magazine's technology has developed to the point where it can detect and distinguish souls, so naturally there is no need to worry about irrelevant people being sent.

Standing on the teleportation array, in just a moment, the three of them appeared in another room.There are ten teleportation arrays distributed in this room, each with a sign marking the target location.The decoration is European style, two floor-to-ceiling windows are connected to a balcony, which is full of flowers and plants, full of spring; if you stand there, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the garden.There are several sofas and an exquisite small coffee table in the room, and the glass refrigerator next to it is full of various drinks and snacks.

"It's better in the agency...it's different from the outside." Yu Lai took a breath of the air mixed with the fragrance of flowers, smiling sweetly, "Sister An, is this our intelligence center?"

Anzi said calmly, "No, it's one of our third-level intelligence stations. Come with me."

The three walked out of the room, walked through the corridor, and finally came to the fifth floor.Along the way, Yu Lai noticed that the scenery here is extremely beautiful, not like an information station, but like a holiday villa - the building they live in is surrounded by a large garden, there are many spotless floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor, and the elevator is also a view Elevators; through them, this spring-bright and delightful garden can be seen from various angles.The building is all in European style, using soft pink, sky blue, grass green and brown, which looks classical and elegant.

An Zi walked to a wooden door, knocked on it, and a middle-aged man quickly opened the door.The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then the man walked towards the building.

"This is one of our intelligence agents. Manlou, he will show you our intelligence system." An Zi explained.

Manlou pointed at Yulai: "What about her?"

"I'm in charge of introducing her." An Zi said briefly.

Just as Man Lou was about to ask why, Yu Lai seemed to see through his mind, and said with a smile, "I'm going to join the intelligence department in the future, you don't want to follow me, do you?"

Man Lou turned his head directly: "Cut. Then, let's go."

"It's—it's rude." Yu Lai deliberately drew the tone, then ignored Man Lou's blushing face, and immediately changed to a brisk tone, "Sister An, let's go too~"

Manlou snorted again, followed the man away with heavy steps.

It wasn't until the back of Manlou disappeared around the corner that Anzi spoke again: "The intelligence department is composed of two parts: insiders and outsiders; the direct supervisor is the Minister of Protection, who rarely asks about specific matters, and I'm in charge of specific implementation. The middle and senior management personnel of the intelligence department and latent personnel in key positions; most of the large number of outsiders provide intelligence, most of them do not know who they are serving, and there are also cases of temporary cooperation, when necessary, give priority to abandoning these people. "

"The intelligence department is divided into nine divisions. One is in charge of the ninja world, the second is in charge of the business world, the third is in charge of the political world, and the fourth is in charge of other fields. All the 'general' level intelligence is first classified and screened by the five divisions, and then handed over to the first to fourth divisions for processing .'Urgent', 'very urgent' or 'special' level information is directly handed over to the heads of various departments. After the information is processed, it is handed over to the Sixth Office for summary, Seventh Office for archiving, and finally handed over. In addition, the Eighth and Ninth Offices It's a secret unit."

"There are three levels of teleportation points, all over the mainland. All internal members of the C-level teleportation point can use it, and the B-level and A-level are dedicated to the intelligence department, secret operations department, and action team. The A-level teleportation point has the highest security and only high-level personnel Or it can only be used after special approval." As he spoke, An Zi paused for a moment, seeing that Yu Lai had memorized these words before continuing, "Your mobile phone has a Class C teleportation point navigation, and the label on it is 'report sorting point' .”

——Sure enough, gossip was used as a cover.
