953 Restricted Area (2/2)
Zhang Zian was scared there would be a mishap and followed closely behind with the other elfins.
Before that, he had promised that they would play hide-and-seek in the Forbidden City, but he did not think that it would come true in that way.
From the point of view of the employees, Zhang Zian alone was walking vigorously and passing through the Zhonghe Palace and Baohe Palace without turning his head. He did not even stop to admire the Forbidden City, and in their hearts, they wondered if that person had spent money to come to the Forbidden City to exercise.
If the elfins saw any kind of structure that it was slightly interested in, they would run over to it to take a look around. After they finished looking, they would run back to Zhang Zian.
Actually the process of touring the Forbidden City was quite boring. The 8,000 plus rooms were all around the same, and the history of each room was not something that interested everyone. Most people that had never come to the Forbidden City before just liked to admire the scenery and look at the new things. After that, they were unlikely to go there again.
The Gate of Heavenly Purity was an important link between the inner courtyard and the outer court. After one passed through the Gate of Heavenly Purity, they would reach the real ”harem.”
Zhang Zian turned his head back to look. They had already left the large part of tourists behind. They stopped to take a breath and find the elfin's trace while they were at it.
Richard saw the elfin go through the Gate of Heavenly Purity. Where it ran to after that, it did not manage to see.
Galaxy and the other elfins were also looking.
”Zian, I seemed to have smelled some scents,” Famous lowered its head and sniffed around, then suddenly raised its head.
”Oh? It's the scent of that elfin just now?” Zian asked, walking closer.
Famous shook its head. ”I can't tell. It could be. Anyway, the scent is a fresh one. It extends all the way from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
”Then that's probably correct,” Zhang Zian let out a breath of relief. The trail that had been cut off continued again. ”Where did it run to?”
”The scent trail is headed this way.” Famous raised a claw and pointed in a direction.
”Meow! That guy really knows how to play hide-and-seek.” Galaxy was very excited. After all, it was a new opponent.
Old Time Tea also tried to hurry them. ”Zian, we've rested enough. We can't delay any longer. Shall we continue after it?”
Zhang Zian did not move. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. ”Sadly, I can't chase it anymore. If we want to continue chasing it, only you all can go.”
”Why aren't you chasing it anymore?” Famous was stunned, thinking that Zhang Zian meant there was a problem with its tracking ability.
Zhang Zian raised his chin, looking at that direction and sighing. ”Because that's the restricted area. It's not open to tourists. If I go there, I would just be stopped.”
Before that, when he was at the Binhai City Library capturing Pi, he was scared as to whether Pi would appear in the ancient books section or the children's section. If it were like that, he could not even enter, and could only give up on capturing it. The good thing was that Pi appeared in the mathematics reading area.
Now, they were met with something similar, but he was not as lucky as last time. The thing that seemed like an elfin had actually run into the restricted area. What could he do? Forcefully enter?
What a joke! That was the area of the emperor. If one had a brain, they would not dare to forcefully enter the restricted areas of the Forbidden City!
So it seemed he could only give up.
