Only a dozen or so Giraku masks responded to her, using various forms to express confusion in unison.
"He's always there."
In their eyes, the master is the master, and they cannot tell the difference between him and "him".
Lin Qiao sighed softly, touched his head one by one and said, "I will find a way to let them be born."
Waking up from his dream the next morning, Lin Qiao sat on the bed blankly for a while, checked the broken window glass last night, made sure it was nothing serious, put on his bag and went out.
When "Chu Ji" would appear in front of her for some time, she had to find a job first.
The shops that can still be opened on the block in the current social chaos have been implemented by various gangs in a new system of paying protection fees. There are too many areas divided into areas. Lin Qiao still does not understand the nature of each place, so he can only deal with it on the side. Watched while walking.
With this thought, she unknowingly took the car back to the wooden bar in the slum.
It is still open for business, but there are two strong men with guns wearing bullet vests at the door.
Lin Qiao hadn't been back for a long time. She looked at the sign outside for a few seconds, then walked in and went to the bar. She tapped her finger on the table and ordered a glass of wine.
With his back to her, Heather took out the freshly fried fries and put them on a plate. He turned around and handed them to the guests next to him. He responded to Lin Qiao's words, "Rum 300."
When Shinan wanted to ask her for money, he naturally saw her face and was stunned for a moment, "Lin"
He stopped the car in time to avoid calling her full name. It had been too long since he had seen her. This name still has considerable power in the slums. He took the money from Lin Qiao and made her a glass of wine with an extra Plate of fries.
Lin Qiao took the initiative and said, "Let me see if there is any work left here."
Heather pursed her lips, with a complicated look on her face, "Can I ask first, why did you suddenly come back again? You disappeared for a long time."
Lin Qiao said calmly: "Chu Ji is dead, and I was forced to escape from the desert."
Heather turned her head and glanced outside the window. She couldn't see the tentacles hanging in the sky, but she pointed in the direction of the window and lowered her voice and said, "Then what is this?"
He always thought that these things were caused by the weird monster next to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao ate a French fries: "It has nothing to do with me."
Shinan thought for a while, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions. He served her the prepared wine first and then said to her: "We have changed the boss now, and with the prevalence of evolution potions, many people don't like to work as waiters and waitresses here. In the dishwashing business, most of them have joined gangs. If you can still accept your original job, your boss will definitely allow you to join."
Lin Qiao nodded simply, "I can continue to be a dishwasher, that's no problem."
After finishing speaking, she asked Heather again, "Did you and your girlfriend also get injections of evolution agents?"
Shinan was stunned and her eyes dimmed, "We broke up. She thought I was too coward for choosing to live in this place and work as a waiter. Not long ago, she chose to cheat on me. He was a gang leader. Selling neurostimulants is a very profitable business."
"Ha" he smiled bitterly, "Lin Qiao, you also know that I actually don't have great ambitions. When the genetic evolution agent is open to the public, all I want is to live a stable life in this chaotic world."
The reason why he liked her very much at the beginning was because he knew that she just wanted to live an ordinary life. Unfortunately, they were not treated well by this society.
Lin Qiao was speechless for a moment when he poked the sore spot of Heather. In the end, he just said: "I'm sorry, I just want to say that it's not a good thing, and I remind you not to hit it."
"I've already had it." He lifted up his sleeve to show her the eye of the needle. "I had a free injection in the community early this morning."
Seeing her silence again, he asked, "Do you know what's wrong with this?"
Lin Qiao shook her head, "No, not yet."
Heather put down her sleeves, left briefly to receive a group of guests, and then came back and said to her: "I didn't mean to be afraid of you before. Those news affected me, and there are such weird creatures. In short, if you are still here, Work, I hope we can still be friends.”
Lin Qiao looked at him, "I'm not suitable to have friends."
Heather was frustrated, but nodded in understanding.
Lin Qiao's job here was finalized in just one afternoon. She and Shi Nan both worked shift shifts. Sometimes they worked day shifts, sometimes they worked night shifts. The time they went home was not fixed, and sometimes they didn't come back all night. , just sleeping in the staff dormitory behind the bar.
After "Chu Ji" came to the earth and carried out a wave of spiritual rule, he often secretly used human eyes to observe Lin Qiao. His arrogance and pretentiousness could not be compared to his clone. After losing any interest, he can still stick to it with his tail wagging.
Therefore, there are always a few homeless people wandering below the apartment building, specifically to monitor her movements.
In doing so, he can not only isolate her scent and avoid the mania above, but also observe her and understand her daily routine secretly, not through the spiritually connected clone but by using himself. It is his own desire to understand her. This became One of "Chu Ji's" interests.
But for a long time recently, he found that Lin Qiao's return home time had become irregular, and he felt a little anxious inside, eager to know what she was doing outside.
He had a special desire to possess Lin Qiao, which was quickly taking root due to the influence of the clone's memory.
In the evening, Lin Qiao came to the bar to take over the evening shift, and by the way, he had dinner here.
The wages here are still paid daily and have been increased to 150 days. However, as gang disputes continue, the federal government completely ignores these chaos as if it is dead, causing prices to skyrocket. These wages are only enough for Lin Qiao to survive for one day. Cost of Living.
In order to save money to pay for the water and electricity bills of the apartment, Lin Qiao and Shi Nan ate three meals a day in the bar with leftover meals from the kitchen.
There were few guests at this time, so the kitchen aunt brought out the leftover synthetic meat and some rice from lunch. When she saw the two of them sitting on a small table in the hall, cooking, she gave them an extra piece of fried pork chop.
"It's been reheated, so it's a bit woody, but the taste is okay."
Heather thanked her, divided the meat on the plate into two, gave half to Lin Qiao, "Half for each person."
Lin Qiao was not polite and handed him another bottle of water with his backhand, "I have become familiar with it in the past two days. You don't have to stay and leave two hours late to help me. Go back early today."
Heather took the water and said, "Okay."
Lin Qiao raised her eyes to look at him, her lips slightly raised, her smile distant but sincere, "Thank you."
