After walking out of the high-speed rail station, Zuo Dao and Elsa looked at the sky together, looking at the environment filled with tall buildings.
This scene made Elsa feel slightly familiar, as if she had done this before.
"Settlement first, or shopping?" Zuo Dao lowered his head and asked Elsa.
Elsa's current height is about 1.3 meters, and her physical age is nine years old.
According to Master Nan's explanation when she spent a few days with her, her next golden development period is when she is nine years old. If she is younger, it will be inconvenient to do things, and if she is older, it will affect her future development.
As for what the development is, Zuo Dao has not yet asked.
Normally Elsa doesn't like to talk.
This is very similar to heresy. They are the kind of people who don’t want to say unnecessary things, and it’s hard for others to tell others how rich they are.
Compared with Left Way, Elsa will be more direct. If she has any ideas or questions, she will get straight to the point. Unlike Left Way, she will go back and forth for a long time before finally laying the groundwork for what she wants to say.

After they finished "shopping", he would solve the check-in problem. At the same time, he also had some ideas of his own.
If they go to check in first, if someone wants to harm them, they might be in for a big surprise when they go back in the evening.
Therefore, they began to travel on the road, wherever they went.
The historical background of Xishan City is not deep. More than thirty years ago, it was just a relatively large town. However, after the Big Cave Incident, ordinary people discovered that Huayu had made a lot of investment and tilt in this area.
The reason is that the lack of secrets causes many things to rely on external input.
And a complete city close to the border has become a top priority in the south.
Over time, ordinary people may not know these secrets, but they can discover the flow of capital.
In less than twenty years, this place has changed drastically and has become a mainly commercial city.
There is nothing like the abject poverty of the former frontier land.
For this reason, local people gradually feel that they cannot keep up with the times. Some of them will become very rich, but most of them have little sense of existence. It is not that they are low-key, but that they do not know what to do in this city.
In the final analysis, it is just because there are more people in out-of-town gangs than in local gangs, and there are more new locals than locals. Old locals have no way to get started and have no way out if they want to work together as a group to cause trouble.
There is a joke circulating in Xishan City now, which is called "one street, two squares, and three trades".
To put it simply, in this city full of huge profits and gray industries——
On one street, you can find almost two gambling houses and three pawn shops, large or small.
The gambling house is not a serious gambling house. There are only two kinds of people who come here.
Those who are serious about doing business and playing second-hand will naturally be welcomed by gambling houses, Junket operators will also make fun of them, and pig killers will also keep an eye on these people. As long as the new faces are at the table, they show a little childishness. ——
Then they will have a good exchange, and there will also be a list of various industries near the gambling house, which are related to high-quality customers, so that they will always receive a feeling of being at home until they can't get any profit or water. out.
The second type is those who come with a purpose. They will win big and lose big. There will be very few customers who are not customers. Their origins may be just ordinary chess pieces (hot customers).
Or maybe he had a good background and had done it himself. Before they came, he had already signed an agreement with the gambling house owner, clearing out some unexplained money.
The pawn shop is naturally not a serious pawn shop. Most of the people who come here will be two types of people. ….
The first is the business at the neighbor's gambling house.
There are bad gamblers who are losing money and have assets that are not easy to deal with. Those who want to continue fighting will be invited here by Ma Zai in a nice manner to deal with it.
Then he rushes back to the gambling house with a red face and angrily, and finally comes out with dull eyes, becoming a homeless man who was once rich. In the end, he goes back and forth here and there for various reasons, or hangs out here and there.
The second type is some gray interests. They act as transshipment middlemen, handling all kinds of mysterious materials and items that go out from within the country and come in from abroad.
And they are also the final transfer point between going out and entering. Generally speaking, if you don't pass through them - things from the outside will inevitably go into trouble if they want to enter deeper into the city, and things from inside may disappear if they don't go through them. .
It can be said that Xishan City’s interest chain in this regard is very mature.
They won't just incur debts that the other party can't pay, and then force the person to death. Instead, they will eat the bloody steak slowly like the most elegant and coldest gentleman, without even touching the fascia. Let it go.
It's not because they like rules, it's just because after all, they are in the Chinese territory and they still have to follow some rules, otherwise they will wait to be completely liquidated.
In this case, under the temptation of money, stores in related industries are being closed down here every day, and new stores are taken over and opened for business the next day.
Here, the status of the General Information Bureau and the Observation Center are both small Karami. Of course, this is an exaggeration.
but
The real big brothers are the Financial Inspection Department and the Urban Planning Bureau under the Ministry of Comprehensive Committee.
and the Judicial Enforcement Department under Si Ludian.
These three departments and units change the rules of Xishan City and disturb the balance of Xishan City.
As for the issue of force and mysterious events?
If anyone questions them, they will point to the checkpoints and the long wall garrison in the southern suburbs and ask them to think again. If such a problem really happened, the garrison units would probably laugh out loud, and how many people would be eagerly waiting for some coordination points. What an achievement.
In this way, these three departments make this place that looks like a fallen city look like a model city.
They create a sick person but don't let him die or get worse.
Reduce objective pressure on other cities within the territory.
It is precisely because of their existence that the border remains both blocked and sparse.
In the entire information about Xishan City, Zuo Daopin explained the meaning——
You can make money, but you have to let me know how you make the money. If you want to hide it from me, don't even reveal it to me -
Sorry, I'll remove the entire link for you. If it's out of my reach, I'll report it to my boss. It's just a matter of time.
Gray items can flow in and out, but you have to let me know where they are going, so that I can wait until you finish making money and distribute the dirt to me. Then I will contact other local departments to get rid of Zhongjia depending on the situation. The source of disobedience has also been eliminated.
Under the fabrication of various masters, the southern border was shaped into a rather unique city.
Ordinary people can naturally live here. Although prices are a bit high and house prices are sky-high, the salary level is not low. At the same time, this is also a place suitable for tourism. ….
The most important thing away from the border is all kinds of scenery. However, the income from tourism and the city's business card are not important to Xishan City. Therefore, it has been developed according to circumstances in recent years without any major mistakes.
The ones who can really feel the invisible malice coming from the Huayu officials are the big bosses who have money and want to do some "uh-huh" things here, and various mysterious organizations that do not belong to the Huayu. They It can be described as being on tenterhooks.
At the same time, the influx of people and the accumulation of capital brought about by rapid construction have made the city full of vitality. Although there are different classes of life, most people can find their own comfort zones and perhaps short-lived breaking points.
Therefore, this gives Xishan City the characteristics of every place in Huayu.
For example - food.
Zuo Dao held Elsa's hand and walked on the food street. The place was crowded with people on Saturday afternoon. Although he was not worried that the little girl Elsa would get lost, objectively speaking, the other party was just like him. They are all somewhat lacking in fighting skills, no, even a little worse than themselves.
He has at least hidden a lot of paper dolls, no matter how bad he is, he can pile them up to kill the opponent, and he also has this technique: Sea of Dusk, not to mention the world of the past, those weird abilities, as long as he has the right The conditions and environment can make the enemy confused and rap with the King of Hell.
Elsa's situation is not so good. After they chatted alone that day and did some in-depth work, he had a basic understanding of the new student Elsa. She can almost understand her as a blank slate. .
Elsa seems to be in no rush to master the mysterious system of rituals and spells. She has her own development timeline, so her greatest self-protection ability now is her soul power. Her soul is very powerful and can It causes mental harm to people, but it also causes a lot of useless losses.
The information in this area can also be extended to infer that at least Elsa lacks technical skills in the soul. To put it simply, she mostly relies on brute force. Maybe this is not the case in the eyes of people in this world, but in the eyes of people, This is how Zuo Dao sees it.
Therefore, the fundamental reason why Zuo Dao holds Elsa's hand is to be careful and never make a big mistake.
Walking in the food street, it is not difficult to find that there are dinners and snacks from all over the place. The neat street stalls and facades maintain a distinct state.
Obviously in this
If a place is not delicious, it means it cannot be opened. Therefore, every family will have some bottom-line work, but I don’t know whether it is technology or hard work.
Smelling the different fragrances, even the most ruthless people feel a little hungry.
Elsa even stared at a certain stall and refused to move forward.
Seeing this, Zuo Dao led Elsa to the stall knowingly.
The business of this stall is very good. There are already a lot of people around. The stall owner alone mediates among the many diners. Looking around, he finds that the hygiene is also good. Maybe scanning the QR code to pay is already a Huayu Because of the mainstream, at least the situation did not occur in some parts of the world.
Zuo Dao looked at the signboard of the stall, which said it was called Nan Xian Pancake, and then looked at the production techniques, processes and ingredients. He directly turned it into oyster omelette. After all, it was too similar, and he also made a little complaint. , the name given by this world is really not flattering. ….
"Boss, have one, can you add some toppings?" Zuo Dao raised his voice and shouted.
The boss, who was wearing a mask and a translucent face shield, lowered his head and was busy but also responded enthusiastically:
"No problem! A portion of 15 yuan, whether you want oysters or shrimps, add 10 yuan for toppings."
Zuo Dao took Elsa's hand and squeezed her, signaling for her to make a decision.
Wearing a coat and hat, she raised her head to reveal two children of different colors, and said firmly and confirmingly:
"shrimp!"
"If you want shrimp, add some toppings," Zuo Dao said.
The stall owner served the food very quickly. In about seven minutes, Zuo Dao and Elsa got their portions. Zuo Dao looked around, found a street with tables and chairs, and led Ai Erza went over to eat.
After all, it's just me. Let alone eating while standing, there's no problem eating while squatting. Elsa in her child form still has to be taken care of.
"Aren't you going to eat, Mr. Zuo Dao?" Elsa sat on the chair and opened the food and asked.
Zuo Dao shook his head: "You eat first and give the rest to me."
Elsa hummed, and she used the two bamboo sticks given by the stall owner as kuaizi. She fiddled with the tempting and warm Nanxian pancake in the box, divided it into two areas, and ate the one on the right. .
At this time, Zuo Dao took out his mobile phone, as if he had some time to browse.
In fact, he opened the communication software and sent a message to two people respectively.
At the same time, Elsa's cell phone vibrated in her pocket. She paused slightly as she took a small bite, and then continued to eat with her head lowered. As she lowered her head, Elsa's eyes flickered.
Conscious space connection——
"What happened, Mr. Zuodou?" ’ Elsa asked.
Elsa has only two friends on her cell phone. One is Nan Mingshi Xue Xie, who is not online all year round, and the other is Zuo Dao, who has been invisible all year round. The two of them have made various plans, just like what she did just now, she will Set it to a vibrating notification. Once there is a special situation, Zuodao will remind you in this way.
"Ms. Elsa, I think someone is targeting us.
"In other words, maybe I'm targeting you, madam. ” Zuo Dao said.
Not far away, diagonally opposite from behind Zuodao.
There is also a public table and chairs over there, with a man and a woman sitting on the seats.
Each of them had a cup of milk tea in front of their table, just like ordinary people.
But Zuo Dao discovered that from the moment they entered the food court, the man and woman had always focused on them and followed them all the way until Elsa sat down with him. They bought two cups of milk tea from a nearby stall and sat down. You can see Elsa's face when she looks up occasionally.
And these were all discovered by the paper figures crawling inside Zuo Dao's body.
Immediately, the man took out his cell phone.
At the same time, there were two life books floating in the Zuo Dao Soul Sea, each of which revealed a new fate——
Zuo Dao (Qian Zao): "little man"
Elsa (Kun Zao): "Villain" and "Desire".
