Chapter 207 The man who lost his heart (5,000 words)
"I understand if you keep a low profile, but how do you understand if you act more arrogantly?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but frown after listening to Lin Bo's words. He had always known how to be a low-key person. When he arrived in such a large and unfamiliar city, he still acted in a low-key manner in order to do business with others. Of course, it was natural.
of.
But be a little more arrogant...
Before he could worry about this, Lin Bo curled his lips and said, "Just restrain yourself."
Xiao Xiao glanced at Lin Bo speechlessly, and was too lazy to explain, so he simply said: "So, what should we do now?"
Standing at the door of the train station, he looked up at the city.
Although it is indeed not the same size as Black Gate City, it can be seen that it can be regarded as an extremely huge city. You can't see the edge at a glance, only the buildings are piled up layer by layer, until they are out of sight.
, people will naturally feel insignificant in front of such a strange city, especially when they bring a few nervous mental patients with them...
...Xiao Xiao really felt a sense of loss and powerlessness at this moment.
"It's very simple. Find our undercover first..."
Lin Bo acted extremely relaxed at this moment and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Are there any undercover agents?"
Xiao Xiao expressed surprise and looked at Lin Bo in surprise.
"of course……"
Lin Bo looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise and said: "After all, I was entrusted by Yang Jia specifically. I must help you get the person of the Unquenchable Heart smoothly. How could you not do your homework before coming? You can't really just arrive.
You want to destroy other people's territory, right?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao felt slightly relieved when he saw his calm expression.
Yes……
This trip allowed me to experience the weirdness from another perspective, but I ignored another problem.
Lin Bo, Xiaosi and others are indeed neurotic in the eyes of the aboriginal people, talking nonsense and being afraid of common things, but in the world of foreigners, they are all experienced veterans.
, on the other hand, from the perspective of a foreigner's world, my experience is far inferior to that of Xiaosi, and even the few researchers under Lin Bo are far behind.
"I didn't think carefully, so I'll listen to you first."
He smiled and nodded in agreement, automatically abdicating his position as the head of the tour group.
He turned around to look at the city again, feeling a little hopeful in his heart. When he looked up at the city from the aboriginal perspective, he felt that it was huge, deep, and mysterious. But once he switched back to the perspective of a foreigner, he felt something different.
A different feeling.
"Could it be..."
The ability of the clairvoyant allows him to feel some strange emotions.
When the city met his gaze, the faint feeling of trembling was still there, especially when Lin Bo mentioned killing everyone.
Xiao Xiao also suddenly had a strange idea in his heart: "Is this city afraid of the Black Gate City behind me..."
"...or are you afraid of myself?"
"..."
"..."
But as soon as this idea came up, he found it ridiculous.
No matter how you describe it, Night City is at the level of a mysterious source and a huge life form.
How could you be afraid of a lord like yourself?
The group of people walked out of the station directly. Xiao Xiao took the initiative to stand in the back row, waiting for Lin Bo to arrange everything. Unexpectedly, just after walking out of the station, Lin Bo looked at the intricate roads and turbulent streets in front of him.
, took a deep breath, feeling a sense of pride and confidence that was superior to all living things, gently raised his arms, as if embracing the city, and then suddenly turned back:
"Give me twenty dollars."
"..."
"?"
Xiao Xiao was surprised: "Why do you need money?"
"Take a taxi!"
Lin Bo said matter-of-factly: "How about we find the undercover agent we have arranged for?"
"……no."
Xiao Xiao felt that what he said made sense, but it was a bit difficult to understand: "You don't even have twenty yuan?"
"I'm a stranger, why do I need money?"
Lin Bo said: "We can pollute an aborigine by randomly taking a hundred points and make him hand over all his wealth, okay?"
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then you have 100 points?"
"No……"
There was no shame on Lin Bo's face as he said, "So, am I not asking you for twenty yuan?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao could not refute, and was about to reach out helplessly to take out the money, but unexpectedly saw a van driving from the side, stopped in front of them, rolled down the window, and saw Xiao Xiao who was following behind him just now.
Si, who didn't know when he sat on the driver's seat, patted the car door generously and said: "President, Mr. Lin, Sister Mai, Brother Meng, Lao Qiao, get in the car quickly!"
"We are still in a hurry!"
"..."
Xiao Xiao, Lin Bo and others were all surprised: "Where did the car come from?"
Xiaosi said: "I just stole it!"
At this moment, Lin Bo and the people under him were shocked: "Is this okay?"
"This is an important task related to our Brother Xiao..."
Xiaosi looked at them with a puzzled expression: "Isn't it my duty as an assistant to make all kinds of preparations in advance?"
"Xiaosi is a good boy..."
Xiao Xiao himself needed to use the ability of explosive thinking to digest the logic of this matter.
He nodded naturally and said, "Get in the car."
Soon, Xiao Xiao got into the passenger seat, and Lin Bo and the three people under his command crowded into the back seat. After Xiaosi found out the destination of the group, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
When leaving the parking lot, he was about to be stopped by the electronic barrier at the door, but Xiaosi just tapped the steering wheel lightly, and the whole car fell into a blur of shadow.
When we returned to reality, the van had already driven onto the streets of Yedi City, driving happily.
"If it were from the Aboriginal perspective, how did Xiao Si drive past the guard box?"
Xiao Xiao was slightly curious, but it was too late to open the eyes of the discerner, so he could only remember to continue observing next time.
"Go to No. 15 Rose Street."
Lin Bo and others also expressed their admiration for the work style of the strangers in Black Gate City.
Then Lin Bo reported the address and explained to Xiao Xiao: "The purpose of our trip is just to help you get the Inextinguishable Heart at the right price, not to destroy these stingy guys in Ye Di City.
Ah... although they are really... Well, no matter what, the undercover agents we met this time are not actually undercover agents, they are just close friends..."
"In short, he is crucial to the success of our mission."
"The Unquenchable Heart is an important element in the Forbidden Museum of Night City. Outsiders are not eligible to redeem it directly. Only Knights of Night City and above can have contracts. This is also our best choice to exchange it with the Strangers of Night City.
The reason for the transaction.”
"When you meet someone later, President Xiao, you have to be nice to this friend..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao frowned as he listened to his introduction and said, "What's the best thing?"
Lin Bo felt a bit toothache from this question, and after a while he said: "Don't want to kill him as soon as you meet him?"
Xiao Xiao really felt that Lin Bo had gone too far. What did he think of people?
…
…
The trip went smoothly. Thanks to Xiaosi's skillful driving skills, which didn't bother him at all, the van quickly drove through most of Yedi City and came to a deserted-looking street. Two species...
In the middle of the courtyard wall covered with roses, they saw an isolated two-story building, and on the left side of the door of the building, they saw a somewhat shabby sign:
“Crimson Free Psychological Counseling Clinic!”
"..."
"This is it."
Lin Bo seemed to be in a good mood. He asked everyone to get out of the car and walked to the second floor together.
"Is this the lair of a certain knight-contracted stranger in Night End City?"
Xiao Xiao thought silently in his heart.
Those who can get into the knight contract have their own nests in the city, so that they and their followers can have activities together, such as the Red Eyes Club of Red Eyes Lingping, Lao Zhou's garbage dump under the bridge, and the Orochi Sisters' circus.
Wait, even I am now building the Iceberg Bar bit by bit into a mysterious base that suits my temperament as the president.
But I didn't expect that this stranger from Yedi City would actually set up such a psychological consultation center.
It's still free.
Don’t they all say that people in Yedi City are stingy?
It seems that this person is somewhat of an outlier, not only generous, but also caring.
After all, foreigners have extraordinary insight into the spirit of the aboriginal people, and it is indeed convenient for them to help people solve their problems.
"Brother, I'm afraid I can't help you with the problems you encounter..."
Just as he was thinking about this, Xiao Xiao turned the corner of the stairs and heard a serious voice coming from upstairs.
Lin Bo waved his hand, indicating that the people above were busy and would wait a moment.
"Doctor, please, I really feel that there is no hope in life and the future is bleak. I want to ask you for some advice..."
A pitiful voice said: "Otherwise, I don't know how I can survive..."
"I see."
The voice from before sighed: "You said you had such a good life, but because you met that woman, you were ruined. Not only was your property emptied, but you were also reported for breaking the law, not only in front of your eyes."
She applauded the house you bought in front of her lover, and threatened to send you to jail. Your brothers laughed at you, and your subordinates betrayed you like this..."
"Yes, yes..."
Some poor people's voices were full of pain: "I feel really desperate, I don't want to live anymore, I just want to beg you..."
"Again……"
A voice said earlier: "I can't help you."
A painful voice said: "Why?"
"Because you are not depressed at all..."
A calm voice said: "You are really miserable..."
"..."
The voice that sounded a little painful was confused: "What should I do?"
"There's absolutely nothing you can do."
A calm voice said: "Not only me, but everyone can't help you, and you are really out of luck. You like that woman, but she has already done everything, how can she still like you? Take a look at yourself
, is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 250 pounds. He stutters when he speaks and is shy... You don’t like bathing yet, do you think you still have a chance to make people change their minds? "
"You just talked about how much you love her for half an hour, but what does your love for her have to do with her? You think you are very tasteful and cultured, but she just likes a man who claps for an hour at a time. What's wrong with that? Animal nature
Isn't it possible? You were able to get someone else by relying on the money you earned before, but you had to give her your money to prove your sincerity to her..."
"Brother, please be reasonable. I am actually very down-to-earth..."
"Originally, I came here for your money, but now you have no money. The money belongs to others, so why do they still follow you?"
"Don't tell me how bad she is, she's not bad, she's just honest."
"It's you who are wrong. You don't understand this world at all and you still want to covet high-end sexual resources..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao and Xiaosi were completely stunned and looked at each other, which was a bit unexpected.
Lin Bo, on the other hand, sighed and looked thoughtful.
"Then I..."
The pained voice was a little desperate: "Then I really have no choice but to be deceived like this?"
"Not really..."
A calm voice said: "What you need to understand is your appeal..."
"You came to me and first said that you wanted me to help you give you some advice to win that woman's heart back, but I told you that it was impossible. You wanted me to help you get rid of the pain, and I also told you that I couldn't help you.
Now, the advice I can give you is to think carefully, what exactly do you need now? You don’t have any mental illness, you just met a bad person..."
"These bad people have brought you pain, do you still want to relieve this pain yourself?"
"Haha, it's useless, you can't get rid of it either."
"I'm a doctor. I can only cure diseases, but I can't cure bad people either."
"Only you can."
"..."
Xiao Xiao and others could clearly hear that his voice seemed to be full of temptation at this moment:
"At least you still have a chance to save yourself at this time..."
"..."
"..."
"What kind of psychological counseling is this?"
The voice above became lower, but Xiao Xiao was no longer in the mood to listen, but felt extremely surprised.
Lin Bo and others were even more dumbfounded. Before they could say anything, they heard footsteps above. Someone walked down in despair. It was a man wearing dirty sportswear. He was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 1.7 meters.
Weighing two hundred and fifty pounds, he didn't even have any hair, and his glasses seemed to be covered with oil. His eyes looked blank and his legs felt weak as he walked slowly down.
"Whoa!"
As soon as they saw him, several people in the corridor felt terrified and subconsciously stepped aside.
Abnormal creatures.
The man in front of them clearly has a strong deformed temperament. Even without taking out the monitor, it can be determined that he has reached the edge of deformation. Xiao Xiao and others can even see that this man has been covered with a layer of distortion.
With an invisible force that distorted the air, his heart beat extremely hard. Every beat seemed to draw blood from his body into his heart.
"Gudong" "Gudong"
His legs were weak and he walked down the stairs with a dull expression. Everyone even felt that his heart would burst.
"This is……"
Lin Bo's people waited for him to walk over, and when they spoke in surprise, they heard a "boo" from above.
Looking up, I saw a man wearing a white coat and a sinister expression walking down.
He was not surprised when he saw Xiao Xiao and others. He just squinted his eyes and seemed to be in a good mood. When he came to the crowd, he looked at Lin Bo and asked, then he stretched out his hand to Xiao Xiao and laughed softly.
: "The famous President Xiao?"
"Hello, my name is Bai Cheng. I know why you are here. We will talk in detail later."
"..."
Although Xiao Xiao was surprised, he was able to hide his inner thoughts well. He shook hands with him and looked outwards:
"That is……"
"..."
"It's just a way to make money..."
The man named Bai Cheng smiled and whispered: "He is in pain and despair, but it is obvious that this kind of person who is good at creating false hope for himself is not completely desperate yet. He was deceived into that.
You also want to ask me how to win back the other person’s heart and how to cheer yourself up and face life bravely again. I am a kind-hearted person, but I really can’t stand it..."
"...So I helped him."
"..."
"Is this helping him?"
Xiao Xiao no longer needed to ask too many questions. He already understood after looking at the man's condition and his expression.
He is deliberately pushing the other party to the edge of distortion.
Some people who are in pain have a chance to come back from the critical point of distortion.
Back then, his neighbor, the little girl Nono, had been saved by him from the critical point of deformation, but the man in front of him did exactly the opposite. No matter how painful that man was, he still had the desire to save his poor life in his heart.
idea.
But this guy took away this hope.
Therefore, that man has passed the point of deformation, and there is only one fate waiting for him.
This is essentially a kind of breeding behavior.
It's just that the ones being farmed are not the aborigines like the Black Forest, but the strangers from Night City.
Xiao Xiao even felt a sense of grandeur from him, and his state of explosive thinking allowed him to hide his inner emotions very well. Therefore, after shaking hands, he just stood aside quietly and looked at this
The person followed the man downstairs and watched as the disappointed man took a taxi and left. A red thing full of blood vessels fell on the ground.
It's the heart.
The lost man was so sad that he didn't even know his heart had dropped.
Then, everything develops without any surprises.
The screams in the villa, the woman who jumped naked from the second floor and had her heart devoured.
The man who cried loudly, holding the heart in his hands and trying to fill it into his heart, but found that it could never be filled.
Then there is the psychiatrist who takes action to solve the deformed monster and earns points.
Because he didn't speak for a long time, Lin Bo noticed something was wrong and looked at Xiao Xiao nervously:
"What are you thinking about, President Xiao?"
"..."
"No……"
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "After all, I promised you, so I won't kill people as soon as we meet..."
"What's with that sorry tone?"
Lin Bo was startled and didn't feel anything was abnormal...
Is this President Xiao really trying to kill someone at every turn?
