"?"
Yang Jia and other strangers looked at Xiao Xiao in shock at this time, with a question mark faintly floating on their heads.
However, the expressions were similar, but the contents of the shock on both sides were clearly different. In the eyes of the red-eyed Ling Ping, the Orochi sisters and others, Xiao Xiao just had a calm smile on his face at this time, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all. , I couldn't help but have countless daydreams in my heart. Could it be that this young president really has some great plan and is ready for confrontation?
Or maybe we did see something powerful and special taboo in the legacy left behind by the old president?
Countless questions emerged in his mind, and he wanted to pinch Xiao Xiao's neck and ask him to quickly tell him the method he thought of and the source of his confidence. However, looking at Xiao Xiao's handsome and cold face, he still couldn't muster the courage. Just stared blankly.
Yang Jia, on the other hand, also took a deep look at Xiao Xiao, then nodded slowly without saying a word.
Even though they were feeling uneasy, this gathering could only be here temporarily. Under Yang Jia's arrangement, everyone returned to their own territories for the time being, preparing for other tricks of the Hell Organization, and waiting for the new president to discuss a new plan. , in the office on the third floor of the bar, soon only Xiao Xiao, Yang Jia, and the waiter who reflected Mr. Ye's spiritual power were left.
Even Ruanruan and Xiaosi could only leave the office temporarily and wait around.
It was only then that Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Jia, and said, "Did something happen in the accident?"
Yang Jia nodded slowly and looked at Xiao Xiao with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She intuitively felt that Xiao Xiao had guessed something just now and just said those words on purpose. Extricate yourself and buy time.
"Actually, I have contacted the Dante organization a few days ago."
She looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "On the day you become the new president and see the legacy of the old president."
"In other words, I was contacted by the Dante organization."
"Returning to Black Gate City was my own initiative. After I heard about the death of the old president, I took leave of absence and returned to Black Gate City as soon as I could spare the time. Therefore, I did not receive the mission. Coming back, of course, I also know how important the thing that the old president found - the hidden compass, is, so it's not that I don't have the idea of bringing the compass back to the Dante Organization."
"But, as we all know, something unexpected happened to the plan."
"..."
Xiao Xiao closed his mouth and said nothing, but glanced at Mr. Ye.
The accident was caused by this old boy.
However, Mr. Ye, who was participating in the rally with the help of a waiter's body, had no expression at all on his face.
"Before the real lord contract appeared, the Dante organization never asked me about anything I did in Black Gate City."
Yang Jia continued: "This is very reasonable. After all, it is my private matter. But just after you became the new president and entered the small building left by the old president, the Dante organization found me and asked me if I had any questions. I have told the truth about the compass, but the answers they gave me...are indeed somewhat beyond my expectations, and are not in line with Dante's usual philosophy."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows unsurprisingly and said, "How do you say that?"
Yang Jia paused for a moment, then whispered: "They asked me to go back with the secret compass, or the person who has the first control over the secret compass, otherwise, they will refuse me to return to the team, and refuse to fight against the underworld under the threat of the hell organization. Mencheng comes to help."
"Ouch?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this, and smiled: "So direct?"
"Not an official result."
Yang Jiadao: "It's just the answer we got when we communicated privately. Besides, I don't know whether this is the order personally given by the violent captain or the instructor's intention... I tried to contact the instructor, but unfortunately If the connection fails, the connection between cities is not that convenient. Besides, the mentor does often go into the depths of the Sea of Mist to do research."
"If we can't contact you, maybe that explains the problem..."
Xiao Xiao listened and thought silently in his heart.
However, he did not say these words directly, believing that Yang Jia understood it in his heart.
He just smiled and said: "In this case, it's time for us to formally ask for help..."
"...Just use the reason I just said!"
"You can tell them that I am a very timid person. I will never risk my life to protect something like the old president... Don't be polite and make me more spineless. The better, you don’t have to save face for me..."
"..."
Yang Jia took a deep look at him and didn't know what he thought of. He said angrily:
"I will."
"But, have you ever thought about..."
"..."
She seemed to have a slight thought, and seemed to want to ask Xiao Xiao a certain question, but it was difficult to ask because of her previous promise.
"Can't."
But at this moment, the waiter who had been standing silently next to him, as if he had fallen asleep, suddenly spoke in a low voice, making a sound like a machine: "The secret compass can only be left in Black Gate City, and only Black Gate City can implement the old president’s Noah’s Ark plan, so I don’t recommend giving the secret compass to the Dante organization... This is what the old president himself means.”
As he spoke, those dull eyes looked at Yang Jia, seeming to hide some emotion:
"Are you willing to destroy the old president's countless hard work and efforts for the sake of the Dante Organization's orders?"
"..."
"..."
At this moment, Yang Jia and Xiao Xiao's pupils shrank slightly.
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt certain in his heart: "Mr. Ye really knows something..."
He and Yang Jia only learned about Noah's Ark plan and the general idea after entering the small building and meeting Uncle Chen. However, Mr. Ye directly said it and pointed out the secret compass. The most important part of the Noah's Ark plan, this only shows that he knows everything about what the old president left behind, and maybe he was involved in this plan.
No wonder he never asked himself about the hidden compass after leaving the small building.
When Yang Jia listened to Mr. Ye's words, her expression became slightly out of control, and she pursed her lips slightly.
After a moment, he said: "I respect the old president."
"I also understand very well that now I have completely become an outsider to Black Gate City."
"..."
She didn't know how to use harsh words, but her disappointment and dissatisfaction were clearly expressed.
The waiter who was possessed by Mr. Ye's spirit also slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Jia after a slight silence:
"Feel sorry."
"The person the old president admired most during his lifetime was you. Unfortunately, you were not here at that time."
"..."
Listening to his apology, or in other words, comfort, Yang Jia was not touched at all, and his expression did not improve at all.
Xiao Xiao turned to look at Yang Jia and said with a smile: "I still only listen to you."
"?"
Yang Jia was suddenly slightly surprised, and her expression softened a lot instantly.
"No matter what, I will tell the truth about everything about the old president to the new president and Miss Yang Jia. Of course, whether or not to tell Miss Yang Jia will be after getting the new president's permission, but you and I both Understand that Black Gate City’s top priority is to first deal with the threat from the hell organization. Only by ensuring that those lunatics will no longer affect us can the Noah plan have a chance to be implemented.”
Mr. Ye did not show any dissatisfaction with Xiao Xiao's act of expressing his loyalty to Yang Jia in front of him. His mechanical voice was full of sincerity and he said softly: "So now, I just hope that we can work together to solve the problem at hand first. question."
Yang Jia, who felt better about his proposal, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will fulfill my promise."
"I will also do my part."
"I will tell you two about the Dante organization's reply afterwards."
"..."
After saying this, she had already stood up, and there was no point in talking about this issue anymore.
As Xiao Xiao stood up to see him off, he suddenly turned to look at Mr. Ye: "Which one of those following me is the compass?"
The waiter was slightly confused and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to use the compass, nor do I know what you are talking about."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Then am I a victim?"
"no."
Mr. Ye answered firmly, "In our plan, you represent hope."
"This hat is big enough..."
Xiao Xiao couldn't ask any more questions now. He could only helplessly watch him leave. He sat back in the empty office and looked up. The dead man who had been made into a work of art was standing quietly. In the middle of the office, one palm was put in his trouser pocket, and the other palm was gently raised towards himself, with the palm facing upward. The two roses in his eyes were extremely delicate.
"They left very quickly, but who will take care of the body..."
Slowly rubbing his eyebrows, Xiao Xiao also thought helplessly, and then his eyes gradually calmed down.
Hell organization...
What was this guy thinking when he entered the city, killed people, and put on a show without anyone knowing anything about it?
As he slowly thought about this problem in his mind, his pupils slightly lost focus.
At the same time, three clairvoyant eyes appeared around him, and the three eyes began to slowly overlap.
In Xiao Xiao's field of vision, this "artwork" suddenly appeared layers of phantoms, like images that were overlapping and switching rapidly. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He only saw this work of art, which suddenly appeared rapidly. After leaving the office, I returned to the intersection where there was a lot of traffic and police cordoned off the area. Then the police officers and the onlookers quickly backed away and disappeared.
He saw this work of art and it appeared at midnight. Time continued to go back and he saw the figure standing at the intersection.
His mind was already feeling strong pressure, but Xiao Xiao instantly locked onto this figure and continued to track it.
Then he saw this figure walking through the Black Gate City, like a tourist, watching everything with excitement, and even took pictures, took pictures, ate snacks, and greeted passers-by in some places. It was just strange. What's strange is that whenever he passes by, the pedestrians seem to forget him, and his shadow disappears far faster and cleaner than ordinary people.
Xiao Xiao almost used all his strength to catch up with his shadow, following him through the entire city until...
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes suddenly and looked at his feet.
The floor became transparent, and he saw a person sitting near the edge of the bar on the first floor.
A man with lots of notes taped to his face.
The eyes under these notes were dark and shiny, and they were looking up at him.
Faintly, his heart seemed to have stopped for a second, and huge pressure came like a mountain, almost crushing the entire bar.
But Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, got up and went downstairs.
…
…
"Mr. Xiao, good evening."
When the waiters in the corridor saw Xiao Xiao coming, they immediately stopped and said hello politely.
Xiao Xiao just nodded slightly and said:
"Call the Pink Girl Gang. There is something in my room and ask them to send professional people to take care of it."
"..."
"Okay Mr. Xiao."
The waiter hurriedly agreed: "I wonder what it is? So I can tell them in advance."
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "A corpse."
Ignoring the waiter's eyes that widened for a moment, Xiao Xiao thought to himself, this is an industry owned by the underworld after all. As an important backbone of the Pink Girls Gang, why is it so surprising that a corpse appears in the room? This waiter Showing such fear, it can only be said that his professionalism is still a little bit behind. I wonder if he should find a professional to train them later.
And when he thought this, when he came to the first floor, the record player lady was performing hard.
And the violent, paranoid, and twisted people in this bar... simply put, the psychos, are venting their hearts to the crazy and weird melody. The man with the note on his face is also hugging him. The girl next to her kept shrugging her shoulders.
"Hello……"
Xiao Xiao walked directly to him, sat down, and greeted him politely.
The man with the note on his face calmly let go of the girl's hand and said: "There is someone here..."
"We are different."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said to him: "You have to pay me to spend here, but I don't have to pay you to spend here."
"..."
The man with the note on his face seemed a little helpless. He let out a deep breath and said, "I really didn't expect you to discover me so quickly. In fact, you shouldn't have discovered me at all. I used a A very powerful special item that can conceal all my spirit and temperament. Even this city should not be able to detect my existence. I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly..."
"It's really not easy."
Xiao Xiao secretly thought to himself that he had locked onto the corpse by going back in time and tracked him all the way back.
In fact, this is simply the stupidest method.
He almost exceeded his limit, and his nosebleed was like a hemorrhage.
If it weren't for this method, he really didn't know what else could find him.
Of course, it’s okay to know these things yourself, but you can’t tell others.
So there was just a faint smile on his face, he raised his head and looked at this person, and suddenly said: "Why is there all notes on your face?"
The man immediately spread his hands helplessly: "I lost the Landlord game..."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile: "Then you lost quite badly..."
"In Landlords, there are always winners and losers..."
The man's words immediately contained some defensive meaning, and said: "I have won before..."
"That's not necessarily true."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile: "If I were fighting against a landlord, it would be hard for me to think of how I could lose."
"So arrogant?"
The man with the note on his face glanced at Xiao Xiao in surprise and said, "I'll fight twice when I get the chance."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded: "Okay."
When he first saw this man, he was really surprised, but in less than half a second, he thought that if this man appeared here, he must be here for him, and just now Yang Jia Mr. Ye just left here, but no one found him, which shows that this person's strength may be to an unimaginable level...
...Or maybe, he just has a strange hidden ability.
But no matter what, when I saw him, I knew that even if I wanted to escape, it would be too late.
In such a short period of time, it is not ruled out that the other party has the ability to rush directly to the third floor and fight with him head-on.
Therefore, he simply relaxed and came to talk to him openly.
But before that, I didn't expect that the first impression of this exchange was not so bad, and they even arranged a card game.
