Xia Ye looked at the person in front of him.
The opponent is of moderate height and build, wearing a neat but featureless black witch robe, and a silver mask on his face, making his appearance invisible.
Even her voice was featureless.
"You guys came too fast." Xia Ye stared at the other party's silver mask, "I thought I would at least have time to go home and take a shower."
"We never like to waste time on important things." Masked Witch said, "However, if Miss Xia Ye needs it, I can wait for you to wash up and then pick you up."
"No need." Xia Ye shook his head, "I'm just a little curious. How do you know that I will return to Debso Tower today? Moreover, even if you can wait for me, how do you know that I will definitely fly from here? Entering the city?"
"..."
"Also, you just said that you were 'entrusted by Ocean Charter,' which means you are not an employee of Ocean Charter? Why didn't they send someone themselves? And who are you?"
"You are very keen, Miss Xia Ye..."
The person behind the mask seemed to chuckle: "You will get the answers to these questions when you come to 'Ocean Ship Charter'. Chairman Curran will answer them for you personally."
Xia Ye looked at the other party calmly, silently focused her thoughts, and said to the flowers in the cup: "Susa, can you hear me?"
She didn't have high hopes at first, but unexpectedly, the dormant flower quickly replied: "Okay, what's the matter?"
"If I need it later, can you help me deliver a letter to Luka?"
"Can."
"That's good."
Now, she suddenly felt much more confident. Although I can't use "Fift" now, with "Thunder Feather" and Xiuji, if I encounter any accident, I can run away even if I can't fight. Even if I can't run away, I can still send a message through Susha and call him out. helper……
Thinking about it this way, whether the other party really wants to talk to me or has a Hongmen banquet, I can handle it when the time comes.
"Lead the way," she said.
"Okay, Miss Xia Ye, let's leave now."
After the masked witch finished speaking, she got on the broom first. Xia Ye also took her BRM430 from Xiu Ji and followed him into the sky.
…
After a flight that was not too long, Xia Ye saw a building with "Ocean Ship Rental" written on the outer wall. The style of the building was the same as many buildings in the Xiacheng District factory area, with a solid structure but an old appearance.
There is a large square directly in front of the building. The square is full of pits, large and small, one after another, as if it had just been plowed through by artillery fire.
If these pits were also created by the contract... Xia Ye silently assessed it in the air, then it would be much more powerful than the "Feather of Thunder".
On the side close to the building, there is still a small piece of flat ground. There is a desk, an executive chair and an exquisite wooden chair in the open space. There is a person sitting on the executive chair, but the wooden chair is empty. These three pieces of furniture that should have been placed in the office are now strangely placed outdoors.
The masked witch fell to the open space next to the table and chairs, and Xia Ye followed her. The former took her to the desk, and Xia Ye finally saw clearly the appearance of the person sitting in the executive chair.
It was a petite gray-haired girl, wearing an almost pure black Lolita dress. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, even among witches, she was outstanding. When Xia Ye saw it for the first time, she thought in her heart Rating of 2.9 points.
——The reason for deducting 0.1 points is because compared with the "super invincible and beautiful" self, there is still a slight gap.
The girl only had one hand, and she was using this hand to concentrate on playing with the metal structure on the table.
Even though the Masked Witch and Xia Ye had arrived at the desk, she did not raise her head.
Xia Ye looked at the structure curiously and quickly judged that it was... a hand?
A black metal prosthetic hand?
The gray-haired girl's next action confirmed her suspicion. She picked up the prosthetic hand, pointed the end of it at her shoulder, and put it on with a click.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Xia Ye.
"Sorry, I can't be distracted while maintaining it."
The girl's voice was light and sweet, but in her tone, there was a calmness unique to those in power.
Only then did Xia Ye notice that the other person's eyes were dark blue, and there seemed to be no warm tones in the girl's body.
"What is this? A prosthetic limb?"
Xia Ye asked casually, while sitting down on the only remaining chair unceremoniously.
However, the masked witch didn't seem to care. She walked around the desk, came to the side and behind the gray-haired girl, and stood there quietly. She seems to be a real guide. Ever since Xia Ye met the gray-haired girl, her sense of existence has become much weaker.
"Yes, a prosthetic hand. It was given by the 'Heinekan Creation' contract." The gray-haired girl said to Xia Ye without any secret.
"This kind of contract will give the signer some strange things, but they are not too powerful. In addition, the cost of signing the 'Heinekan Creation' contract is not low, so few people in Debso Tower are willing to use it."
When the other party mentioned it, Xia Ye suddenly remembered that Susha had told her a few days ago that Chris's spine was also a prosthetic body and was given by a contract, and the name of the contract seemed to be "Heinekan." Creation".
But the other party clearly said that there are very few witches in Debsotta who are willing to sign the "Heinekan Creation" contract.
coincide?
Maybe so. But Xia Ye has always believed that all coincidences have their origins.
She didn't have time to think carefully, and just relied on her intuition to decisively decide on the words to enter into this negotiation:
"As far as I know, Chris also signed the 'Heinekan Creation'." She looked directly into the pair of emerald green eyes and said.
The gray-haired girl's eyes flashed slightly, but her expression remained calm: "You are very straight to the point."
"I don't like to waste time on important things." Xia Ye learned what she had learned and put it into practice, borrowing what the Masked Witch said not long ago.
"Then you might be able to chat with these guys." The gray-haired girl tilted her head slightly and pointed at the masked witch beside her, "In the Lower City, many people can't even talk to them."
Xia Ye didn't answer.
She got straight to the point in her first sentence, but the other party changed the topic again in a few words.
Although she was also very curious about the identity of the masked witch, if she asked now, the topic would completely go nowhere.
What is the other party's plan? Invite yourself here in a hurry, and then sit in this damn place and chat aimlessly?
Seeing that Xia Ye didn't answer, the gray-haired girl smiled slightly and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Ke Lun, the current chairman of 'Ocean Ship Leasing'."
"I'm Xia Ye." Xia Ye said very briefly, then stared at the other party without saying a word, wanting to see what kind of medicine the other party was selling.
"I've heard your name for a long time, Miss Xia Ye, I've heard your name for a long time." The other party said softly.
The girl's tone didn't sound like a compliment, but rather like a sigh. She picked up the bone china teapot on the table and poured the hot black tea into a teacup.
The teacup is entirely golden, as if it were made of pure gold. The handles and the body of the cup are exquisitely carved. The only flaw is that there is some dull black color near the base of the cup, which looks like some kind of strange rust.
Kelan stretched out his prosthetic hand and pushed the cup filled with hot tea along the table in front of Xia Ye.
"You're tired from the journey, let's have a cup of hot tea, Miss Xia Ye." The girl said with a smile: "This is the black tea only used in the uptown area. It is much more expensive than the coffee that Chris invited you to drink for the first time. "
Xia Ye glanced at the black tea in the cup without touching it.
"I don't like to have afternoon tea in a place with too bad environment." She smiled back, "What's going on in the back place? Has your company changed its occupation to digging for treasures?"
As if he didn't hear Xia Ye's provocation, Kelun explained seriously: "I'm sorry, the environment here is really bad, but there is no other way, I have to sit here."
"However, to make up for it, I have carefully selected this tea set. I believe Miss Xia Ye will like it."
"Really? I don't see anything special."
"This is Serena's cup." Curran said without warning.
"What?"
"Selena, the original CEO of Ocean Charter, it was she who issued the order to 'dispose of all Yaha's property, including pets' - this is her cup."
"..." Xia Ye looked at the golden teacup filled with black tea.
At the same time, Ke Lun's voice also came faintly.
"How's it going? Is this cup of tea not bad, Miss Xia Ye?"
