Century City was not far ahead. At the very top of a tall building, a logo of two spread golden wings shone in the sunlight.

The bus turned onto the street.

The downtown district was crowded and pedestrians filled the streets. The bus slowed to a crawl. After several minutes had passed, the traffic lights had changed twice but the pair of golden wings was still on the other end of the street.

Xie Yu glanced at the message again and laughed out loud.

Shameless was not just shameless. He had a face. A very big face. He had a face so thick even bullets couldn't pierce it.

"......" The gaps between cars were very narrow. Xie Yu shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his foot catching on a protrusion on the seat in front, and cursed out loud. "Idiot."

The bus moved too slowly.

Cars honked outside the window, making a lot of noise.

Xie Yu lifted a hand, finger catching on the side of his mask. He pulled his mask down some and took a breath.

After another several minutes, the bus finally started moving again at its original pace. The golden wings drew closer and closer, and an announcement rang through the bus. "Next stop, final destination, Century City. All passengers, please exit through the rear doors."

There were still about a dozen people on the bus.

Several of them had already stood up and started walking towards the rear door when they heard the announcement. The bus had not stopped, but they held onto the railings and waited by the door.

Xie Yu didn't move, but he put up the hood of his jacket. The jacket was black, loose-fitting, and the loose hood covered most of his forehead.

Together with the mask, nearly his whole face was hidden.

Xie Yu tapped out a message to Question King: Nearly there.

Shameless finally described in detail what to look for.

Xie Yu elected to ignore the decorative descriptions. Nonsense like, Although the sweater is a standard one, on me, it's not standard at all. An extraordinary aura...

Xie Yu had the sudden impulse to walk across the street and get on the bus going in the opposite direction.

He endured it for a while, but ultimately caved.

He looked down and typed out a sentence.

[jsdhwdmax]: ****** [Sensitive phrases have been automatically censored.]

[Question King]: ?

[Question King]: You were swearing at me?

......

If Xie Yu carried on this conversation, it wouldn't stop at just cursing.

Century City was very big. It was a shopping mall and amusement park in one, and there was even a small theme park at the city center. A carousel turned slowly.

Several little girls sat on the carousel, their parents squatting to one side taking pictures.

Xie Yu passed through the theme park, asking Question King generally where he was while he walked further in.

The idiot had said he was at the entrance, but Xie Yu discovered after he got off the bus that Century City had four entrances. Which one??

Xie Yu had covered up well.

He wore both a hood and a mask, so his face was not visible, but he was tall and he carried himself well, so by covering up like this he drew even more attention.
