Chapter 183 Send You Away
"What's wrong with you? What are you talking about all of a sudden? This is not like you."
"I've figured it out. Senior positions in the Investigation Bureau should really be held by capable people. For someone like me who has average ability and average brains, it's better for me to be an idol spokesperson.
Let people like you handle the professional stuff. I'll just be a semi-idol specialist like before. It's enough for me to bring hope to ordinary people.
Oh, right! I have always had a question. When you first hunted the white-clothed female ghost, Su Ming, the way you spoke was forced, right? "
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Did you figure it out?"
"I don't have that ability, you're pretending to be very good. But just before entering the White Mist, when you said you wanted to cooperate with me, I felt that you were a little strange, and then when I met you again this time, I felt that the personality you had at the beginning was indeed not yours.
You are better at cooperating with others than I am, you are more capable, and your brain is brighter than mine. I think you are very suitable to be the district chief.
If you become the district chief, you will be considered a senior official in the Investigation Bureau, one of the few who deserves the title." Arthur lay back in his chair and exhaled comfortably.
"I also think I am more suitable to be the district chief than you." Su Ming said with a smile.
"Is it fun to mock me like this?"
"If you become the district chief with such unconventional thinking, I'm afraid the district will be doomed. Now we are all trapped in this damn place. I am thinking about how to escape, but you are wondering who is suitable to be the district chief. Just looking at this point, who do you think is suitable?" Su Ming joked.
Arthur smiled and shook his head, "I don't think I can think of a way to escape. You should think of one and tell me when you do."
Su Ming sighed, then tried to call Isabella again. He thought he might call her out in the next few days to see if Isabella would come out. After all, this attempt would cost almost nothing.
"Isabella."
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
"What the hell!"
Arthur yelled and fell off his chair.
Behind Su Ming, a beautiful woman in a neat suit stood respectfully.
Su Ming turned to look at the other person with a smile on his face.
It seems... a turning point has appeared!
"Ah, this beautiful lady is a stranger, right?"
A magnetic male voice interrupted Su Ming's thoughts. Su Ming was startled and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. He saw a man standing there, staring at Isabella curiously.
Su Ming observed the other party, trying to estimate his strength, but his super intuition did not give any hints.
Maybe this person is indeed very strong, but not as strong as the king in the Black Gate.
He now saw Isabella, and Isabella's attire clearly showed that she was an outsider. If Isabella called him master again, he would definitely be targeted by her, and that would be troublesome!
What to do now?
Should he let Isabella leave? But once he opened his mouth, the other party would definitely notice their master-servant relationship.
Is he hinting to Isabella with his eyes?
It seems that this is the only way, but I don’t know if Isabella can understand it.
"What's your name?" the man asked.
Isabella looked at Su Ming, which made Su Ming feel desperate. It seemed that he could no longer hide his master-servant relationship with Isabella. He could only find a more reliable excuse to get away with it.
Just when Su Ming felt that he had no way out, Ansiriel suddenly appeared from the corner of the corridor.
When Ansiriel saw the man, her expression changed slightly, and she greeted him from a distance, "Master Jin, why are you here?"
Jin Yumin turned to look at Ansiriel. Su Ming took advantage of this moment to wave to Isabella and made the shape of "go" with his mouth.
Isabella was stunned for a moment, but soon realized Su Ming's intention, ran behind the pillar next to her, and disappeared.
In front, Ansiriel came forward and reported the latest work to Jin Yumin: "We didn't find the woman you mentioned."
"Really? Did I post the portrait of you?" Jin Yumin asked.
“Well, they’re all posted.”
"No news?"
"No news. She must have left town."
"Well, this is probably the backwardness of this world. It would be nice if this world also had cameras." Jin Yumin muttered to himself.
When Su Ming and Arthur heard the word "camera", they looked at each other and understood what he meant.
This person in the dream should come from the same world as them.
"Ansiriel, did you bring these two people in?" Jin Yumin turned around, exclaimed, and frowned, "Where is that woman from before? Why is she gone?"
"She just ran away by herself." Su Ming replied.
"Run away?"
Jin Yumin turned his head and looked around, shook his head, and turned to look at Su Ming.
"Never mind, it's not a big deal. I can't get out anyway. What's your name?"
"Su Ming." Su Ming said honestly.
"Chinese name? Are you from outside?"
"Yes."
Su Ming had no intention of hiding his identity as an outsider from the beginning. There were many reasons why he decided not to hide it.
One of the reasons is that everyone in this town speaks Chinese, which is obviously specially prepared for outsiders. If the people in this town are hostile to outsiders, they should not speak Chinese, because if everyone speaks Chinese, it will be easier for outsiders to hide in the crowd.
Secondly, Su Ming believed that most of the local people were definitely not outsiders, but people from the native world, just like Ansiriel. They knew some common sense of this world and must know the native language. If they were suspected of lying and they couldn't speak the native language, they would definitely be judged as having bad intentions.
Since being a foreigner will not be viewed with hostility, and disguise carries the risk of being suspected, choosing not to disguise one's identity is naturally the best option.
Of course, he did not intend to reveal his true identity. He would say that he was an ordinary person who was pulled into this world by the white fog, and by chance, he came to this dream city that welcomes outsiders.
Jin Yumin looked at Su Ming deeply and nodded: "I am also from outside. I don't know which world you are from. Are there people with superpowers in your world?"
"Uh...yes."
"Is the person next to you your companion from the same world?"
"Yes, we both somehow walked into the white fog and ended up here."
"You are all ordinary people?"
"Yes, that's right." Su Ming answered fluently.
Jin Yumin nodded, and the smile on his face became much softer, and he was obviously less wary of them.
“How do you feel after coming here?”
"It feels like you've finally escaped death! I can be protected here and I won't have nightmares. I think I'll stay here for the rest of my life." Su Ming smiled relaxedly.
Jin Yumin laughed and patted Su Ming on the shoulder like an elder: "Enjoy it, surviving in a different world is not as difficult as you think.
Ansiriel, take good care of these two young people and let them enjoy themselves. I think they are not relaxed enough... Let them relax a little, especially this kid."
Jin Yumin looked at Su Ming and smiled gently, and Su Ming also responded with a friendly smile.
Ansiriel's expression froze. She glanced at Su Ming quietly and nodded slightly: "I understand. I will take good care of them."
Watching Jin Yumin leave, Ansiriel breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and gently placed her hand on Su Ming's shoulder: "Come in with me for a moment, Arthur, go back to your room."
…
Su Ming followed Ansiriel back to the room. Ansiriel looked outside for a few times, closed and locked the door, and led Su Ming to the inner room.
"You are in trouble today. I shouldn't have let you move freely outside. It was my negligence." Ansiriel sighed and shook her head.
"Was that man a bad guy?"
"He is a person from outside like you. He is one of the supreme rulers of this city. To be precise, he is the second most powerful person in this city. All of us in the dream are under his control." Ansiriel said, "I have to send you away. If you continue to stay here, you will become like those outside..."
Halfway through her speech, Ansiriel suddenly stopped and did not continue. The words that followed were not what someone of her status should say.
Su Ming looked at the other person, and many thoughts popped up in his mind.
The man in the dream brought a lot of pressure to Su Ming. If possible, he really wanted to avoid fighting with the man in the dream. And he knew without thinking that the man with the surname Jin posed a huge threat to him and Arthur.
The best way to escape the risk is to leave the palace, but if he leaves the palace like this, the effect of false love will disappear in a few days, Ansiriel will return to normal, and he will lose the only chance to know the real body|location of the dreamer.
In fact, it's not just the main body's location. Just now, the moment Su Ming summoned Isabella, he already had a rough plan to leave the white fog in his mind.
But to implement this plan, a series of very complicated operations are needed, and most of these operations need to be completed with the help of Ansiriel.
For this, Su Ming must stay here.
After continuous use and practice, the learning progress of False Love has now reached 55%, and its power is gradually emerging.
Frankly speaking, Su Ming didn't want to rush into anything. His original plan was to proceed step by step, wait until the power of false love reached its peak, and then start manipulating Ancelia's behavior.
But now, the situation has changed and he must start taking action in advance.
Su Ming closed his eyes, leaned against the wall and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said:
"Ansiriel, I don't want to leave here."
Ansiriel was stunned, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She looked at Su Ming affectionately with a moved expression.
"I don't want to leave you either, but you can't stay here any longer. You have to leave... Don't worry, I will go out of town to see you often. It's not like we don't have the chance to meet."
Apparently, Ansiriel took what he just said as an indirect confession, but that was not what he wanted to express.
"Ansiriel, I haven't told you about my world yet, right?"
"What's the world over there?" Ansiriel frowned slightly, looking at Su Ming half puzzled and half curious.
