#290 - Chapter 289 Night Quiet
“Hello, Starlight Express!”
A clear voice came from outside the door.
Li Chenqiu walked to the door, turned the handle and opened it, only to see a young man with a standard 45° smile on his face, wearing yellow and white clothes, standing at the door, holding a large box.
The young man politely asked, "Are you Mr. Li Chenqiu?"
Due to geographical reasons, most people in District Two and District Three do not actually know Li Chenqiu. Those who know Li Chenqiu and understand him are basically people with some status.
Li Chenqiu nodded: "Yes."
The young man awkwardly took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket: "This is your express delivery. If there are no problems, please sign the package."
Li Chenqiu nodded, took the ballpoint pen handed over by the young man, signed his name on the box, and after the young man scanned it with his mobile phone, he moved the box into the room and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Does a set of clothes need a whole box?"
Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, curiously cut the box open with a knife, and what caught his eye was a set of black clothes, which was the enforcement uniform of the Discipline Department, including a top, lining, belt, pants, and shoes.
In addition, there was also an unopened envelope placed directly above the clothes.
Li Chenqiu opened the envelope and read it carefully.
This was an unremarkable letter, full of very official nonsense.
A trace of impatience flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and his sight quickly moved down, and the impatience in his eyes gradually deepened.
"What is all this... Huh?"
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to put down the letter, his hand suddenly stopped, and he squinted his eyes to look at the last paragraph.
[In addition to the full set of enforcement uniforms and weapons forged from titanium-alloy, we will also give you the Xuan artifact 'Night Whisper', hoping it can help you better complete your work]
"Night Whisper?" Li Chenqiu's eyes lit up instantly: "A Xuan artifact!"
Realizing that there was a Xuan artifact in the box, Li Chenqiu hurriedly took out all the enforcement uniforms and unassembled weapons in the box, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and groped left and right in the box, not letting go of even the corners.
But even if he almost touched through the box, he didn't find anything that looked like a Xuan artifact.
"Huh?" Li Chenqiu looked at the clothes piled together on the side: "Could it be mixed in with the clothes?"
Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu hurriedly bent down and began to rummage through the combat uniform.
A few minutes later.
Li Chenqiu put his hands on his hips, his brows slightly frowned: "Could it be that they forgot to put it in!"
After standing in place in silence for a few seconds, the corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth curled up, revealing a helpless smile, and he hugged his combat uniform and walked towards the bedroom next to him.
The combat uniform was very light and thin, cool to the touch, and very convenient to wear, and it was extremely fitting. After all, it was made according to Li Chenqiu's size, so it would be strange if it didn't fit.
Li Chenqiu buttoned up the buttons one by one, and walked to the full-length mirror in the room.
The black stand-up collar perfectly fit Li Chenqiu's jawline, making his facial features extremely three-dimensional, and the dark blue pentagram was embedded in the position of his left chest, rippling with the color of the sea under the light.
The black belt separated Li Chenqiu's body in a four-six ratio, making his already upright body even more upright, coupled with those deep eyes, just standing there, he exuded a sense of迫人的压迫感.
Li Chenqiu grabbed the dagger on the table and slashed at the collar of the combat uniform.
The sound of metal friction sounded.
Looking at the collar that didn't leave a single scratch, Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows: "Interesting."
He could feel that there was a thin layer of strange metal in this combat uniform, like cloth, which could be folded at will, but if it encountered sharp weapons, it would become hard, which was extremely strange.
Li Chenqiu stood in front of the full-length mirror,甩了甩 his arms, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he reached out to unbutton the buttons when his fingers suddenly stopped.
"This is..."
Li Chenqiu took a step forward and looked at the topmost button on the collar.
Different from other black buttons, this button was also black, but it was darker than other buttons, like a starry night encountering a bottom of the sea without a trace of light.
Li Chenqiu was in a hurry to put on his clothes before, and didn't notice it, until now he realized it.
Li Chenqiu touched the smooth button and pressed the button as if possessed by a ghost.
Buzz——
The button vibrated slightly.
Before Li Chenqiu could react, a black mask appeared in front of his eyes, directly covering his face, and the mutation had not yet ended.
Whoosh——
Along with a gust of wind, the space behind Li Chenqiu was slightly distorted, and black like sea waves condensed out of thin air, turning into a shoulder-length cloak that fit on his shoulders.
"A Xuan artifact?"
Li Chenqiu said uncertainly, carefully looking at the two suddenly appearing items through the mirror.
That was an incomplete mask, only covering the area below the eyes.
The mask felt cool to the touch, and the outline lines combined both rigidity and smoothness. The tip extending from the left hooked Li Chenqiu's ear, perfectly fitting his lower half of his face. The silver thin lines inlaid on the edge were like a long galaxy, deep and mysterious.
Compared to the mask, the shoulder-length cloak was much simpler.
The cloak was neither long nor short, and the black cool fabric slid down Li Chenqiu's shoulders, stopping a little above the elbow, while the back just passed the thigh.
Li Chenqiu tried to tear off the cloak, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear off the cloak, and the same was true for the mask.
"This button should be the Night Whisper mentioned in the letter, but... what is the use of this Xuan artifact?"
A burst of doubt appeared in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and then he closed his eyes, putting all his attention on the cloak and mask.
I don't know how long it took, the corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth curled up, he felt the connection between himself and these two items.
"Activate."
Li Chenqiu said silently in his heart, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, looking at the mirror expectantly, feeling his own changes.
And then... then there was no then.
Everything was calm and uneventful.
Li Chenqiu's face darkened: "If you give someone a Xuan artifact, just say the name, and don't mention where the Xuan artifact is or how to use it. Which talent wrote the letter, is there something wrong with their brain!"
At the same time, several miles away.
"Ah sneeze!"
Wenren Qing, who was hugging a bucket of fried chicken and chasing dramas, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, looked around the living room, and then continued to eat fried chicken as if nothing had happened.
In the next hour, Li Chenqiu kept tossing in his room, and finally!
He understood that he couldn't test the function of this Xuan artifact by himself alone.
However, this hour of effort was not without gain, at least Li Chenqiu understood that as long as he pressed the button again, the mask and cloak would disappear.
Li Chenqiu lay tiredly on the bed: "Forget it, I'll ask someone else later, the function of this Xuan artifact can't be to conjure a mask and cloak!"
