One of the Twelve Kingdoms

When the two came out of the weather bureau, they looked no more relaxed than when they entered.Every piece of information they get leads to a more complex development.Although Joshya has always been optimistic, he is not too big.He'd long since dismissed the idea that this time travel was an accident, but if someone could actually send him ten years later then what would it be for?Could it be that there are people like Mingzheng in Qiaoguo who want his life?Then why make it so complicated.

Joshua couldn't figure it out, and the middle-aged man told them that the reason for the solar eclipse was not only from the outside world, but the people involved were even more complicated.

"It's also possible what he said." Jonathan said suddenly: "They have existed for thousands of years, and only a few people can travel between the two places. It is impossible to suddenly become curious about the earth. And Qilin's personality can't do these things. And People on Earth do the opposite."

The two brothers seemed to think of the same thing, and frowned at the same time.They all know that there is a hidden organization that is silently learning about the existence of the Twelve Kingdoms, maybe they should investigate in this direction.

Joshua sat on the back of the motorcycle and suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, brother, why did you change your name?"

Jonathan replied succinctly: "The previous one can't be used anymore."

"Can't be used means that can't be used?" Joshua confirmed carefully, and Jonathan said indifferently: "Well, I was issued a death certificate and disappeared completely. Alexander happened to know about it at the time."

"So that's the case." Joshua suddenly realized, and asked again: "What is the case about the people?"

This time, Jonathan sighed: "A few days ago, a citizen claimed to be attacked by a horse. I think it probably came from you."

Jonathan had to rush back to the police station. He put Joshya on the side of the road and gave him a USB flash drive.

"what is this?"

"The information I copied just now, put it in your place first."

Joshua didn't know that his brother had secretly copied back all the information on the solar eclipse. He put the things in his pocket: "Well, I'll show Jason first to see if I find anything."

"No, don't give it to others, and it's better to let Baihu be with us."

Joshya looked at his brother, wondering if this was a bit too exaggerated, "Brother, I don't think we need to be so cautious, my mother met me a few months ago, so I won't be stuck in the world ten years later .”

Jonathan's face was still tense: "You haven't figured out the situation yet, you have to do something to return to normal time, the history that mother said is the future for you, which means that every thought you have now will determine Whether your mother has seen you in the past ten years—and in the future.”

"Wait, you confused me..." Joshua rubbed his head, then quickly understood, and murmured: "God..."

Jonathan saw him react and rubbed his hair, then parked the car and went to work.

Joshua was stunned for a long time, then took a deep breath.When he looked up, he saw Alexander walking towards him, and his mood suddenly became clearer.

"Hi, is it going well?" They stood next to each other naturally, and Joshya knew that the other party liked him, and he thought he liked him too, so he hugged his waist sweetly and let Alexander kiss his hair and cheek.

"Of course." Alexander said.He is tall, wearing a police uniform like a male model at Milan Fashion Week, Joshya needs to look up to see his expression.

"Alexander?" Joshua called his name, and after seeing his questioning eyes, he was silent for a while, and tentatively said, "I think I lack a boyfriend."

He stared at the other party's throat protection, and his heart beat fast.He knew that Alexander would agree, but he was still nervous as if his throat was stuck.

"Oh..." Alexander exclaimed a little, but he didn't have the expected excitement. His dark eyes were dimmed due to the shadow of his eyelashes under the sun, and his expression was rather complicated.

Joshua's smile disappeared. He stood up straight and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"I like you very much, Josh. I like to chat, play and share time with you. I think we will be a good couple, but..." Alexander looked at him affectionately and contradictoryly, Joshya didn't know Did he do it on purpose or did he just listen to him continue: "I want a boy who belongs only to me, and you have a country to manage, do you understand?"

Jonathan told him who he was, and he rejected himself for it.Joshua saw his own dazed expression in his pupils.He immediately lowered his eyes to cover up something, and tried his best not to sound a little downcast: "I understand, although I like you very much, I really like you..." He looked at the other party and shrugged as if he had nothing to say. Shrugged: "So, goodbye?"

"I'm sorry, Josh." Alexander frowned sadly, "Goodbye."

Joshua suddenly felt itchy on his arms, he opened his sleeves and found that the scratches from the Gu carvings were rapidly healing and scabbing.He squinted to see Alexander's back against the light, then turned and crossed the road.

Joshua had just walked a few steps when he received a call from Casey, and he realized that he had completely forgotten about his best friend.

"Cathy, where are you now? Are you okay? Did those Gu sculptures hurt you?"

"No, I'm taking a statement and I'll be right out."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

Joshua stood on the side of the road and exhaled, then went to the nearby cold drink shop, where there were all kinds of new drinks, he sighed and bought two glasses of Coke.

Casey trotted ahead of him as the cars on the road passed the tenth.He was staring at the USB flash drive, but quickly put it away when he saw Casey, and said hello in a disinterested way: "Hi, Casey."

"What's the matter with you? You look sullen."

"Alexander dumped me. I confessed my love to him, and he rejected me." Joshya was even more listless.

Casey sat down and took the Coke, and said strangely: "Why? Even a blind person can see that he wants to chase you."

"Because he thinks I'm a weird alien king? You know, I'm a king, not a prince or a princess or anything. No one in those fairy tales would fall in love with a king. They're old and ugly and stubborn."

"But you don't look like that at all." Casey looked at him. "Forget it, Josh, maybe you should try with an American boyfriend."

"Thank you for your idea." Joshua vetoed with disgusted eyes, and then fell silent for a while.Kathy wasn't used to being around people and not being talked to, especially Joshah.She couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"

Joshua seemed to be trying to restrain his emotions, but depression and sadness still emerged from his words: "I think this is the closest I've come to being in love."

Casey was taken aback by his slightly trembling tone, and asked cautiously, "Are you crying, Josh?"

"No." Joshua withdrew his gaze from the crack on the ground, and raised his tone again: "I want to go back. Why hasn't Gongqi come here? God, he must have been pissed off by me."

Joshua decided to go home first, he hoped that the blue bird used by his mother to communicate with him could still be used, and then he could write a letter to Cuihuang Palace to see if the current self would know something.Then according to what Jonathan said, Joshya told Jason to let Baihu live in his home temporarily, but got bad news.

The white tiger was captured, still in the form of a beast.

"God," Joshya murmured.

"I was not careful, I thought no one would see it." Jason explained on the phone: "I just want to see the white tiger fly."

The other party's apology was useless, and Joshya couldn't listen at all. He interrupted Jason and asked, "Then where is he now?"

"They put the white tiger in the zoo for the time being. It seems that they are studying his species and then deciding where to release him. We will bring him back as soon as possible." Jason said: "They don't know that the white tiger is actually a human, as long as he doesn't talk That's fine."

Joshua was a little relieved. He looked at the time, and the zoo was about to close at this time.Tomorrow he has to go to the zoo to take a look, but at least the white tiger is safe for the time being.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the red sunset was reflected in the golden eyes of the beast. The white tiger swung its long tail, walked back and forth a few steps, and slowly lay down against an artificial rock, burying its nose in its forelimbs and tail.The surrounding barbed wire restricted the white tiger's freedom, and a large piece of raw meat not far from him had already started to rot and smell, and the sound of buzzing flies made the white tiger keep shaking its ears.

The white tiger was so hungry that his stomach rumbled, but the piece of food fed by the breeder did not arouse his interest.He yawned out of boredom, and suddenly raised his head and looked out of the barbed wire, his ears straightened.

He heard some unusual noises.Behind those dark overgrown forests and shrubs lurks uninvited guests.

He knew there were monitors here, Jason had reminded him earlier.Baihu arched his body and growled threateningly.His eyes are like two green light bulbs in the dark night.He looked very carefully, and there were two people holding instruments in their hands, and they were bending over the surveillance range skillfully and approaching his cage.

Baihu instantly entered a state of alert. He stared at the grunting sound from the throats of the two men, and then heard a click, and one of them raised his gun at him.

Thanks to Baihu having seen this kind of weapon from Jonathan, when a red dot flashed his eyes, Baihu saw a thin silver light flashing, and the injection was nailed into the tree trunk and made a buzzing sound.

After Baihu quickly hid in the rocks, one of them turned on the flashlight to look for him.When the white light came on, the white tiger took a step back, but the sound he made accidentally revealed his position.The gun bearer took aim at him immediately, chasing his figure beyond the fence.

Suddenly a bell rang loudly, and the expression of the person holding the flashlight changed, and he cursed to his accomplice, "Damn it, you've run into an alarm!"

Seeing the white tiger hiding again, the other person gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"

The unintentional triggering of the alarm attracted the staff on duty from the zoo. After checking it, they saw that it was a false alarm and went back yawning.

Bai Hu lay down silently again, feeling even hungrier in his belly.
