The night is dark.
When Xu Shuo drove back to Heiyu District, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he came out of the underground garage, he saw a small red dot in the upper right corner of his vision. It seemed that a player had sent him a message.
Xu Shuo opened it with his consciousness.
Luo Kai: [That script was the first level-4 script I extracted in this world, so I just went in and looked at it again, and then I discovered a somewhat serious problem. 】
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows and sent a question mark.
Luo Kai: [When extracting the script, is there an intersection between that world and our real world? 】
Perhaps he was already aware of this person's undisciplined character, so Luo Kai basically didn't do any charades and said it directly.
Xu Shuo looked at the news with unclear eyes, curled up his lips and smiled.
Then edit the reply:
[If you go and investigate Luo Jiayong’s family situation, you may be able to find other things. It’s not necessarily true. If you find anything by then, please remember to share it with me. After all, I am also very curious. 】
After sending the message, Xu Shuo closed the player manual.
He looked up at the urban village not far away that was obscured by tall buildings. The buildings in the city were lined up in rows, but the nine-story apartment could only be seen faintly from the angle of the turn.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Xu Xi should have returned from outside.
…
Nothing unexpected happened.
The lights are on in the living room.
Xu Xi had indeed returned. She was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. When she heard the door open, she looked up.
"You're back." The girl said expressionlessly.
"I'm back and I brought you some supper." Xu Shuo said, walking up and placing a white plastic bag on the coffee table.
Inside the plastic bag was a fiberboard bucket with patterns printed on it, fifteen centimeters high and ten centimeters wide, just like the common chicken wing buckets in KFC.
Seeing this, Xu Xi curiously opened the bag. After opening it, she found a dozen fragrant octopus balls lying inside, which were quite big.
The signboard of the paper bucket belongs to "Gulu Gulu". There is a branch in a shopping mall not far away. It is very popular because I heard that their octopus balls contain real octopus.
Xu Xi forked a small ball and threw it into her mouth to chew. It tasted really good. She seemed to have chewed the meat.
It looks like there is really an octopus inside.
But there was so much that she couldn't eat it all by herself.
Xu Shuo stepped forward, picked up one with a wooden skewer and ate it, then turned and entered the room.
After a while, he walked into the bathroom again with his pajamas.
Xu Xi looked at his back, lowering his eyes slightly, a little absent-mindedly.
Then this random thought was reflected in her actions. Before she could swallow the ball in her mouth, she picked up another one and threw it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging from chewing.
Xu Xi's face was still expressionless, but his eyes were slightly wandering.
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Shuo came out wiping his hair.
When he walked to the living room, he glanced at the coffee table casually, and then his eyes suddenly froze.
There are more than a dozen octopus balls with a diameter of four to five centimeters in a bucket, but now only three are eaten...
Xu Shuo glanced at the paper bucket, and then looked at Xu Xi.
His eyes changed slightly——
It seems that Xiao Xi really likes to eat this?
Xu Xi swallowed the small balls in her mouth and whispered: "I'm sorry, I ate a little too much."
"It's okay." Xu Shuo paused and asked, "Didn't you eat out tonight?"
"have eaten."
"With Lily?"
"Um."
Xu Shuo looked at Xu Xi who lowered his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who else?"
Xu Xi whispered: "And my former roommate, Dandan, was discharged from the hospital and asked us to hang out together."
"Discharged?" Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows.
"She said something happened to her at Harbor North Metro Station before, and she was hospitalized during that time... Then, she asked me something about you..." Xu Xi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan.
The girl's eyes were wandering, and she looked like a child who had done something wrong, a little embarrassed.
Xu Shuo sat down next to the sofa, and the heat and moisture all over his body hit his face. He held his chin and asked, "Really? What's the matter?"
"I didn't tell her in detail. But she said..."
Xu Xi looked at the person next to him: "The world is undergoing some special changes. The Gangwan North Subway Station is not undergoing collapse or repairs, it's because something strange has appeared."
"Why is she telling you this?"
Xu Shuo looked back at her, not as gentle and smiling as he had been outside. The expressions of the brother and sister were uniformly calm at the moment - simply expressionless.
Few people may know that both brothers and sisters actually have facial paralysis, but Xu Shuo may be better at disguising himself than Xu Xi.
"Did she come to you first?" Xu Shuo sounded dangerous.
Xu Xi explained: "She actually didn't tell me those things directly. I discovered them myself. And what she revealed seemed to be that she knew what related work you were doing, brother, so she wanted to contact you through me. .”
Hearing this, Xu Shuo's aura relaxed a little. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Did she tell you that she wanted to meet me?"
Xu Xi nodded.
"Where and when?" Xu Shuo asked.
"I haven't promised her yet." Xu Xi said hesitantly: "Brother, if you want to meet, I can reply to her, but can you also take me with you?"
"Definitely next time." Xu Shuo raised his hand and touched her head.
"..." Xu Xi ate another octopus ball unhappily.
…
The next day.
Xu Shuo returned to his normal work after a day off, but in the afternoon, he skipped work again.
Xu Xi left the studio with aggrieved eyes.
She wanted to go too.
However, she pestered her brother for a long time yesterday but failed to get permission. In the end, he only instilled some information about the "Logistics Support Bureau for the Prevention and Control of Pollution Sources", referred to as the "Guarantee Bureau", and also warned her——
From now on, when I see the Security Bureau, I will run as far as I can.
In addition, the small bead she wore around her neck also expired, and Xu Shuo replaced her with a new crystal, and also gave her a bag filled with all kinds of weird things.
What's slightly better than Pei Sheng is that her bag is very fashionable and beautiful, and can be hung generously on a crossbody bag.
"Your brother must have been infected by my brother." Pei Sheng ate the spicy strips and glanced at the white antique embroidered brocade bag hanging on the chain of her backpack.
"Have you brought yours?" Xu Xi looked back at him curiously.
"..."
Pei Sheng left with a look of sorrow and indignation. As he walked, he could still faintly see a corner of the Northeastern red flower pattern peeking out from under his clothes.
Xu Xi was secretly glad that at least her brother's aesthetics was not much different from hers.
…
…
Black Rain Zone.
This area should be regarded as Xu Shuo's comfort zone, so the other party also chose this place to meet, as if to take care of his thoughts.
What a coincidence that it was the same coffee shop where he and Themis met that day.
Xu Shuo found a seat in a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and opened the business magazine to read.
Not long after, a man in his thirties sat down opposite him.
The other party was wearing a neat black suit. He had a tall and straight figure, and his every move was elegant. His eyes were bright, his face was resolute, and his eyebrows were somewhat elegant and poetic.
He looks like a polite businessman.
But there is a military air in every gesture.
The man looked at Xu Shuo and smiled: "You don't seem surprised that it's me?"
Xu Shuo put down the magazine and smiled: "That woman's character doesn't seem to cause trouble. If she hadn't been threatened, she wouldn't have easily done something that she couldn't control."
Hearing this, the man explained clearly: "We did not threaten her. Miss Shao Dandan has reached a cooperative relationship with the Security Bureau."
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Then, the other person stretched out his hand towards him: "Let me know, I am the person in charge of the Yangcheng branch of the 'Logistics Support Bureau for Pollution Source Prevention and Control', Zheng Chengzhi, you can call me Captain Zheng."
Xu Shuo shook his hand politely: "Xu Shuo, the general manager of Huiyao Game Studio."
He knew that one day he would have contact with official forces, so he did not refuse this appointment.
After all, escaping cannot solve the problem, and sometimes doing it too much can be self-defeating.
