Chapter 103: Operation Begins

Rows of tall buildings lined up around the crowded street. He looked up high to the sky as if he was in a deep well surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city. On the road, four steady streams of vehicles moving along together with pedestrians in a hurry. Occasionally, one or two traffic police could be seen, wearing padded coats while leaning on their police vehicle on the roadside, smoking a cigarette while chatting. They would occasionally rub their ears with their thick cotton gloves. White mist from their conversation mixing in the air.

It’s Christmas Eve in New Franklin. During catastrophe of the last century, the United States also gave birth to a series of heroes. One of them was Jon Franklin. This city was newly built on the ruins and was named after him.

Among the thick Christmas atmosphere, a Chinese teenager was wearing a leather coat, carrying a bulging bag while walking in the streets. Only the sound of his boots make a slos.h.i.+ng sound on the snow was heard. He glanced at the GPS satellite map on his wrist and turned around to a cafe.

Then, he saw through the dim gla.s.s and noticed a suns.h.i.+ne boy waving to him from the inside. At his side, there was a fifteen-year-old American girl. Blond hair, white skin, just like a beautiful doll in the toy store.

The youth stamped his boots to remove the snow and lowered his head and pushed open the café door.

”h.e.l.lo, Mr. Ming Jian (tl: It’s Famous Sword but I don’t fell comfortable using Famous Sword in real life convo).” the American boy said with extremely stiff Chinese. It was clear that he had just learned this sentence.

A T-s.h.i.+rt that was obviously larger than his body by one size was printed with a rock star holding onto a guitar while singing exaggeratedly. A pair of jeans that was deliberately ground down into a half-broken state. Left ear wearing earrings. If he wasn’t sitting down in a wheelchair, Zhou Jian really couldn’t believe the American teenager in front of him was the bounty hunter’s famous hacker — Internet/killer.

”Are you the employer?” Nicholas touched his smooth chin. He said this phrase in English. He looked up and down at the youth in front of him. It seemed like he’s the same age as him. He did not think the other side was so young.

”It’s me.” Before this in each of Zhou Jian’s operation, his real body would follow the Ghost Killer avatar. But this time, his real body first went to Brazil, and then the Ghost Killer avatar went to the United States from Brazil.

After all, sneaking into the military laboratory was espionage and would likely to involved the United States FBI. Zhou Jian didn’t understand about the high-tech investigation. Though he had disguised through the game, he was afraid to leave other traces.

There was an important point. He did not know if the Blood Crystal packed in the bag would be checked by the airport security. Once he was found out, then with his fragile real body, it is a certain death.

But putting item in the Inventory meant it’s isolated from the world. And not matter how amazing the airport security was, they won’t find it out. Even if they find out, with the Ghost Killer avatar’s stealth, escape is not an issue.

For precaution, Zhou Jian’s real body did not stay in the city of the Brazilian Jungle Hunters. After all, the city’s a bit dangerous. Since his Ghost Killer alter ego wasn’t around, he’s even more vulnerable. So, he chose the safest city and that’s Brasilia, Brazil. Here, it’s under the Brazilian government control and security is relatively good.

”Are you Nicholas?”

”Obvious, this is my girlfriend.” Nicholas shrugged and pointed to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl on the side.

Zhou Jian gave a polite greeting.

Nicholas snapped. “Three cups of Blue Mountain. One cup without sugar. Thank you.”

Soon, a waitress dressed in brown overalls carried a tray over and put out three cups of coffee. Nicholas took the unsweetened cup and without stirring, directly drank it.

”Be careful. It’s hot.” The pretty little miss said.
