After exiting the extremely lively Black Eden, take the elevator up to the fifth floor. This is the open rest area for investigators, and it is also a land where investigators can feel the atmosphere of normal society.
The entire rest area has cafes, Chinese teahouses, restaurants, saunas and even spa rooms, and swimming pools. Except for some leisure areas that control the number of people and require reservation in advance, cafes, Chinese teahouses, and restaurants are open 24 hours a day.
Under normal circumstances, the usage rate here is not high. After all, the investigators are not as free as they thought. They are all people who are looking for a way to survive. They would rather spend their time searching for treasures in Black Eden than sit in the office.
There is no point in enjoying it here. As for the staff, they don’t have much time to come to this kind of place except during lunch time. Their work pressure is no less than that of investigators. The monthly set tasks are assessed for two consecutive months.
If you don't meet the standards, you will be fired. So it is common to stay up late and work overtime until late at night.
It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch time, and there were only a few customers in the cafe. The combination of Lin Xi and Qing Cheng was definitely the most eye-catching couple. The handsome man and the beautiful woman sat at the window seat.
, plus two cups of fragrant freshly ground coffee, it’s like filming a romantic urban love TV series.
Lin Xi and Qingcheng talked softly, and laughed a few times from time to time. The content of their conversation did not involve love, and Qingcheng was not good at talking about love. They talked about their experiences of studying abroad. Although one was in France and the other was
It's the UK, but it's still considered Europe, so it's not that far away and it's very flavorful.
During the conversation, Lin Xi admired Qingcheng for being the top academic among top academics. He actually got a double degree at such a young age, could even speak 6 languages, and could write poems in Russian. Lin Xi was better at learning theoretical knowledge and admired his talent in language.
No, French is a little better, but English is still a little difficult to communicate on some academic topics.
Listening to the mutual compliments between the two top students, maybe this is one of the main reasons why there are not many customers around?
"Isn't it fun to learn military strategy? Have you ever fought on the battlefield?" Lin Xi was curious about a field that he had no experience with.
"Actually, it's not fun, it's boring, and the pressure is high. During the battlefield deduction, every chess piece represents a human life. It's very difficult to achieve a zero-casualty deduction.
As for the battlefield, when I was training in the UK, I went to Afghanistan with the special forces to participate in anti-terrorism operations. Those terrorists who were brainwashed by jihad were worse than evil spirits. But in comparison, I prefer catching ghosts rather than killing people.
Work." Qingcheng elegantly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
"I don't like both. Those evil ghosts are actually transformed by people. Most of them experienced miserable lives and turned into evil ghosts due to obsession after death. I quite sympathize with them." Lin Xi
He held the coffee cup with a sad expression.
"How to break it? I like to kill things that she sympathizes with, so I must break it! Crisis, this is my crisis!" Qingcheng, who was holding the coffee cup, froze at one point, and said with a forced smile while sweating, "Actually, I also
I don’t like catching ghosts that much, it’s just a need for work. In fact, some ghosts are still... very pitiful."
Qingcheng is distorting his own values. No one knows how much effort he has put into the task of picking up girls.
"You're quite weird. Sometimes you're very talkative, and sometimes you say contradictory things?" Lin Xi couldn't help laughing.
"Has she noticed my mission? It is necessary to lock her up and torture her, and ask her how much she knows. Where did I put the interrogation drugs brought back from the UK?" Qingcheng smiled in cooperation, thinking about something else entirely.
one thing.
At this moment, Thirteen, who had his hands in the outer pockets of his windbreaker and a lollipop in his mouth, walked over and said, "Isn't this the section chief we just took office? You are really free. You are still free during work hours.
Are you sitting here to pick up girls?"
"Picking up girls? What kind of picking up girls? I don't understand what you are talking about at all. I just met her by chance, and then by chance I was not very busy, and finally I came here by chance. That's it." Qingcheng's eyes looked like this when she spoke.
They are all erratic.
"You don't seem to have a high IQ today? Is it because you haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet?" Thirteen wondered, then looked at Lin Xi next to him, "Are you done? Let's go."
"Then I'll take my leave now and contact you again when we have the chance." Lin Xi stood up politely and said goodbye, then left with Thirteen almost without any regrets.
Everything that happened in the coffee shop was transmitted back to the director's office through the surveillance probe. Wu Zhu was blind and couldn't see the picture, so he asked the princess to be the narrator.
"How is the situation?" Wu Zhu probably has never been so gossipy in his life.
"The situation is not ideal. The data shows that although Lin Xi has no love experience, she is still very good at socializing. This is due to the fact that she accompanied her father to various high-end banquets when she was young, and she is very good at dealing with people. As for Qingcheng, although she is a young talent
, but I really don’t know how to please girls.
Your plan to create a method of involving a third party and stimulating the fermentation of the relationship between Thirteen and Lin Xi is a bit wrong." The princess finished and couldn't see what kind of threat Qingcheng could pose to Thirteen. She was her godson.
Godmother, she is very familiar with her godson's shameless and sweet-talking skills.
"You don't understand this. The more innocent it is, the more traceless it is. In love, only the green first love is the most fascinating. If Qingcheng goes smoothly from the beginning, it will be meaningless at all. Please inform Qingcheng to keep up the good work.
." Wu Zhu said with a rather playful smile.
At this time, the red mini car also drove out of the Underworld Bureau building. The streets of the Imperial Capital in the afternoon were relatively smooth.
"Do you like drinking coffee?" Thirteen suddenly asked during the silent journey.
"It's okay. Mom said you shouldn't drink tea until you are 30 years old. When you want to feel refreshed, you can only drink coffee." Lin Xi hadn't heard the taste of the words yet.
"Can you handle drinking while sitting with that pretty boy?" Thirteen frowned.
"Qingcheng Man is not as bad as you said. He is just stubborn sometimes, with a strong sense of purpose and responsibility, so he is easily misunderstood. He is not very good at communication and has low emotional intelligence, but his learning ability is great, 25
I can't even imagine having a double master's degree at 2 years old and being able to speak 6 languages." Lin Xi praised you.
"That's so good. Marry him, idiot. His family is an official, and your family is a businessman. There is collusion between officials and businessmen, and power-for-money transactions. How wonderful!" There was actually a hint of jealousy in Shisan's words.
Let Lin Xi react.
"Wait a minute, why are you talking weird? Are you jealous?" Lin Xi turned her head and couldn't help but smile.
"Jealous? That kind of thing deserves to be jealous of me. Aren't you taller than me, fairer than me, and from a better family background? You are amazing. Besides, are you my type? Do you want breasts?
Breasts, butts, no butts, it looks okay, but with the lights off, it feels like a man, how terrible!" Thirteen used various venomous words to cover up his mood.
"Have you touched it? How did you know it was a man's! Bastard!" Lin Xi was made angry by Thirteen.
"Tch, do you think I just squatted there for three hours last night to drink water?" Thirteen stretched out his little finger and picked up his nostrils.
"Fuck you! You're such a pervert! I'll beat you to death!" The mini car began to twist in random directions on the car.
Suddenly, on the road in front of the car, a barefoot little girl, no more than 6 or 7 years old, stood there, dragging a stuffed bunny toy with blood stains in her hand.
"Watch the road!" Xiaoqiang shouted, and Lin Xi nervously stepped on the accelerator. Although the mini car was small, the brakes were very good, and it stopped in front of the little girl with a squeak.
Although he didn't touch the little girl, the girl with the baby head fainted from exhaustion and fell to the ground in front of the car.
"Go and have a look!" Lin Xi was so nervous that he forgot about Thirteen's slapstick.
"It's a collision, right? There's obviously no feeling of collision. Wait while I turn on the camera mode to prevent you from 'showing off your wealth.'" Thirteen said as he took out his cell phone, opened the passenger door and walked out.
When they arrived at the car, Lin Xi and Shi San were completely stunned by the sight in front of them. It was not that the little girl was bloody and bloody, but that the little girl who fell on the ground stretched out a ferocious red hand from the spine behind her back.
, the arm went around the girl's shoulders and came to her chest. The five fingers of the huge strange hand inserted into the girl's heart, as if the little girl's heart was beating in the palm of this strange hand.
"Nightmare beast..." Lin Xi's feet were so frightened that he could not walk, because the monster displayed on the little girl lying in front of him was a genuine four-star evil ghost, and among the four-star evil ghosts, it was also very special.
Dangerous type.
Thirteen said nothing, put away his cell phone and ran back to the car, instantly fetching the sword niche ghost and the hilt of the Shilingji.
"What do you want to do?!" Lin Xi shouted.
"Can't you see it yet? Of course I'll kill her." Shisan looked around. Fortunately, this was a path leading to the outside of the cemetery. It wasn't time to get off work yet, so there weren't many pedestrians on the roadside, and
Haven't gotten closer yet.
"No! She's just a child!" Lin Xi flatly refused.
"If you can call this guy's name, you know how dangerous this thing is. You are an investigator, not God. Please find out your identity first before you speak. Have you observed carefully? This little devil's rabbit
The blood on it is obviously not hers, and you can clearly see the direction in which the arm was inserted into her.
The nightmare is in my heart and there is no cure. This girl was destined to die before we saw her!" Thirteen roared with a ferocious expression, and Shi Ling Ji was firmly pressed into the mouth of the sword niche ghost, clicking.
Sheng Sheng had long thought that Thirteen had already assembled the sword blade and could chop off the head of the girl in front of him with just one strike.
"I know, I know how dangerous this thing is, and I also know that I am an investigator, but this is not the reason why we can kill everyone who is possessed by evil spirits with a knife, because before we call ourselves investigators, we
***Still alone!" Lin Xi and Thirteen yelled at each other. This roar made Thirteen understand that Lin Xi had completely integrated into his world, a world full of sadness...
"I don't want to argue with you. The Nightmare Beast can only move after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Therefore, we still have at least 7 hours of safe time. At least we should send the girl to the hospital first." Lin Xi's tone softened.
, begging to look at Thirteen.
"You're wrong, you're going to kill us." Thirteen firmly believed this, but he still clicked and removed the sword blade on the Shilingji.
