CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 127: A CRITICAL MOMENT (PART 2)

She was a bewitchingly beautiful woman; had she not been able to say Bai Tuo’s real name, he wouldn’t have summoned her inside.

Upon seeing him, Apoli’s eyes sparkled with surprise, and her seductive allure was quickly replaced by solemnity.

"Yi." When Apoli spoke, Bai Tuo recognized the voice; it was Xianxian’s voice.

Most of the news that followed was good. Xianxian had risked being discovered by the David Sect and entered Military Road, but because she lacked a soldier’s identification, she could only control this woman named Apoli using mental possession.

Apoli’s arrival brought more news to Bai Tuo, including the infiltration of various international forces within Military Road.

"I realized I couldn’t let go of our feelings when you and your subordinates were walking together," said Apoli. After leaving Babylon City, Apoli’s consciousness gradually dissipated, while Xianxian’s consciousness became stronger.

Lovers separated in reality could embrace once again in Military Road.

"Yi, we could live together in Military Road, and I could even bear a child for you," spoke Apoli with deep emotion. She wanted to cast aside all the factors that confined her in reality and live truthfully in this world; with Apoli’s identity, she could marry Bai Tuo and have children.

Bai Tuo hesitated. Although Apoli looked different from Xianxian, she was indeed a reincarnated form of Xianxian, just as Bai Tuo was more Lin Yi than Lin Yi himself.

To clear his head, Bai Tuo took the lead in leading the troops outside.

Only when the troop behind him walked far away did Agent Zero breathe a sigh of relief.

"That stranger is much tougher than you," Klaao said mockingly.

"The unimpressive me is your friend, while the impressive one is your enemy, one who seeks your demise. Praising your enemy and belittling your friend is unwise, my Queen," Agent Zero deftly replied.

"It seems we are both quick-witted," the setting sun filtered through, on the tree-lined path, tranquility gradually returned, in the car, two small snakes, intertwining green and red, lazily coiled on a long robe, and the two women exchanged smiles. The wind carried their laughter far away.

In the dense shade that even sunlight couldn’t penetrate, tufts of tea-colored hair peeked through the treetops.

Some were sinking deeper into Military Road, while others cherished their companionship there.

With such an interlude, Xia You was late to the office on Tuesday.

Upon arriving at the office, she saw Mo Xixi hunched over the computer, sneakily up to something. Getting closer, it turned out she was listening to Death Track’s new album during work hours.

"Snap out of it. Any news about Li Zhen?" Xia You knew Mo Xixi was familiar with the colleagues responsible for the case, so she asked her to somehow arrange at least a meeting with Li Zhen.

"You scared me! The person in charge of taking statements for Li Zhen’s case took leave, and they happened to need someone for typing, so I sneaked you in while logistics wasn’t looking. You’ll cover for two days," Mo Xixi spat out, carefully watching if anyone noticed her slacking off.

"Why wasn’t I informed about this?" Xia You learned that Li Zhen’s case hadn’t been passed down to the police station but was directly handed over to the military region for trial. However, she was unclear about Li Zhen’s whereabouts.

"What’s the rush? It’s only nine-thirty now; around ten, someone will take you to the Military District Prison to join the interrogation," Mo Xixi’s gossip gene was back in full swing, "While there’s still time, what’s with the ’Pigeon Guy’ from last night?"

Mo Xixi had a good impression of Ren Minghang, who went from "Fruit Guy" to "Pigeon Guy". After all, Ren Minghang looked amiable and harmless.

"Um, he became my boyfriend last night," Xia You said, then gestured to keep it a secret.

"Wow, that was fast. Come clean, did you fancy him back in the military academy?" Mo Xixi didn’t care, she directly pressed for answers in the office.

"Xia You, come with me to the Military District Prison and bring the military computer. Keep the office quiet," a Lieutenant with whom Xia You didn’t have much interaction came forward, warningly glanced at the two. These female soldiers, as soon as Lin Yi was away, started chatting incessantly, disturbing the peace.

Xia You acknowledged the order, and Mo Xixi, seeing no one else to question, slumped down at the desk, where a forum post caught her attention: "Death Track has confirmed their anniversary tour concert on next Monday, at Qinyang City’s Red Stone Stadium, with tickets going on sale today at noon."

Mo Xixi’s eyes sparkled, immediately deciding to pull an all-nighter. She had talked to Xia You about Death Track before, so she might as well buy two tickets and go with her.

"Xixi, come to my office," Lin Yi, who rarely came late, called for Mo Xixi upon arriving at the National Security Department.

Once Mo Xixi entered the office, Lin Yi sat with dark circles under his eyes and massaged his temples, looking anxious.

"Xixi, have you played Military Road before? What do you think of it?" Lin Yi’s question left Mo Xixi speechless. Her boss had called her over early in the morning to ask whether she had played this ’game’ that wasn’t quite an online game. (To be continued.
