Seeing the extremely curious Nianlu Kumu showing a puzzled expression, Kumu himself felt that not much had changed.
Xuezhi relied on his familiarity with dead wood to recognize it immediately, but Nianlu was indeed a little bit worse.
"This is dead wood." Xuezhi reminded Nianlu.
"ah."
Nian Lu was surprised. He really couldn't connect the handsome guy in the suit in front of him with the person before.
"Maybe it's because I wore my clothes casually and didn't do much about my hair before, so the changes have been a bit big."
Kumu immediately put the blame on himself, otherwise he was afraid that Nianlu would start the self-blame mode.
"Why is your brother here too?"
After finally being noticed, Yue Chongyang showed an expression of relief.
"He also cares about you and wants to come and see you."
Xuezhi knew that her brother liked Nianlu, but at this time Xuezhi still put away his usual bickering mentality.
"Um."
After Nian Lu said yes, she immediately started discussing with Xue Zhi Kumu and put Yue Chongyang aside.
"It's not that there's a big difference. Why do you only have one sentence for me?"
Sensing the change in her brother's expression, Xuezhi pulled Yue Chongyang aside, "Are you stupid? Who told you that if you like Nianlu, Nianlu will like you? What should you do? Although I don't
You know what Nian Lu is thinking. At least after Nian Lu became normal, I found that she didn’t get close to you very much, so the Nian Lu who was affected before should have taken full advantage of you, but if I didn’t hit you or something like that, as long as you behave well
There’s nothing wrong with trying hard.”
Xuezhi gave advice to her brother very rationally. If she was asked to bring Nian Lu and her brother together, she didn't know how to do it. After all, she was also a Muggle in this regard, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived by Qiu Zhenyuan.
"Compared to ordinary girls, Nian Lu blames herself a lot more. You should pay special attention to this. Forget about the impact of the previous Nian Lu on you. In fact, it was not Nian Lu."
"You have already mentioned this. I can't do it if I don't work hard."
After being persuaded by Xuezhi, Yue Chongyang regained her confidence and walked to Nian Lu.
During this period, Kumu has been observing Nianlu, fearing that Nianlu has something else to hide.
"As expected of Lord Haoyue, the No. 2 Tianzi of the Investigation Department. This inspection should be conducted so that nothing created by someone can escape. However, Lord Haoyue is indeed strange. He recommended me without asking anything. What will happen next?
What's going on?"
As Kumu thought about it, he thought of his previous experience in the investigation office.
"It seems there is no problem."
Gu Mu, who felt that nothing unexpected would happen, was also ready to leave.
Xuezhi saw that the dead wood was about to leave, so he decided to give it away.
"Just watch it."
She was very concerned about the dead wood leaving Yukiori so quickly.
"I'm here to see Nian Lu. As long as she's fine, isn't this yours? You shouldn't leave so soon."
"Um."
Kumu is right. In fact, Kumu and Yukiori's methods are essentially related to intimacy.
Xuezhi will definitely not leave his friends alone. Although Nianlu can now be said to be a friend of Deadwood, he is still a bit of a stranger. As long as he is sure it is safe, he can naturally leave.
"I went to the Hall of Light and heard that the four major families would meet later. Have you heard about it or heard from others? Although they allowed the Investigation Department to participate, the four major families will definitely outnumber the Investigation Department by then.
This can be said to challenge the authority of the Investigation Agency, and I'm afraid something terrible will happen soon."
What Kumu said was to give Xuezhi an early warning. If the four major families really conflict with the Investigation Agency in the end, there will definitely be chaos later.
After talking about this dead wood, he asked Yukiori about his situation in the investigation hall.
"The Investigation Department already knew about my strange abilities, and then they blocked the information. Only a few people knew about it. Then they continued to observe me, and they would definitely conduct experiments on me later. It is as dangerous and dangerous as Teacher Xinting said.
Opportunities are there at the same time, and the Investigation Department will help me find out my own abilities faster. When our abilities are similar, I can compare them to yours."
Xuezhi didn't say anything pessimistic to Kumu, but said that Kumu's ability could be discovered soon.
"Your ability must still abide by Teacher Xinting's instructions. If the Investigation Department is asked to take care of two people, I'm afraid they won't have the energy."
"I know this."
Kumu smiled slightly and nodded, and Yukiori returned Kumu's sweet smile.
"You have to be careful, there are spies in the investigation office."
Kumu told Xue Zhi his reasoning.
Yukiori also nodded happily, telling Kumu not to worry. People who know his secrets have gone through heavy inspections. This is not something that spies can escape.
Kumu shook his head silently. He told Xuezhi that his thoughts were pessimistic, but it was also possible that this was a matter related to personal safety and had to be guarded against. "I am afraid that he is a spy who has been lurking for a long time so that no one will suspect him.
As for whether it is possible that he was affected by this latent experience, I don’t know.”
Unknowingly, the two of them had been chatting with each other for a long time.
"It's getting late, don't get too cold, go back quickly."
Yukiori nodded obediently, but then said jokingly, "It's okay, that person inside may be hoping that I go back later." After saying that, he waved his hand and returned to the investigation hall.
"I have to say that it's really easy to talk to Yukiori. I feel like she can follow everything I say. Maybe it's because these things are related to us."
Kumu watched Yukiori's figure completely enter the investigation hall and then turned around and left.
.....................
"How are you injured?"
Mengze knocked left and right beside Kumu, waiting for Kumu's answer.
It happened that Kumu met Mengze on his way back. At first, Mengze doubted whether he had recognized the wrong person. It was not until he turned around suspiciously several times that he was finally sure.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just stop touching it. If you get injured, you may have to go to the hospital."
Mengze was startled after hearing this and immediately let go of his hand, even though Kumu said this was a lie.
"Where are you going? You're dressed so formally."
"Thanks to a friend, I went to the banquet in the Hall of Light."
"Wow, I can go to the banquet in the Hall of Light."
"Yeah." Deadwood didn't want to say much about it, because as long as he contacted the Garden of Nature, Mengze would definitely get involved.
"By the way, is your mother feeling better?"
"It's better, but I owe the hospital more money."
The reason why Mengze encountered dead wood at night was because he was doing a task.
"Yeah." ("Brother Changzhi is right, I don't really have a lot of money. If I want to help Mengze, I still need money to support it.")
Kumu felt that it was dangerous at night and that a young person like Mengze was more likely to be targeted by bad guys, so Kumu decided to send Mengze home.
"Aren't you going back?"
"What should I do when I go back? I haven't finished my task yet."
Mengze didn't listen to Kumu's advice. Making money is important now, but Mengze didn't know the danger and turned around to give Kumu a suggestion.
"How about you follow me, so that I can take care of you, and I will give you half of it then."
"Can."
There's nothing wrong with Mengze's suggestion. After all, Ku Mu is still using his phone while sleeping when he goes back.
"What is your mission?"
"Go find something."
"Why don't you pick up something in the morning?" Kumu asked as he walked.
"That person just sent it. I accepted it as soon as I saw it and the money was quite large." Mengze replied.
In everything, Deadwood becomes suspicious first, "The commission to find something will be sent in the evening. Please tell me how much the reward will be."
"Three thousand."
"Three thousand?" Kumu thought he heard wrongly and asked again.
"Yes, three thousand."
("If you are just looking for something, there cannot be five thousand, and this time is wrong, and there should be many people to take on such a simple task as five thousand. Although this can be explained by grabbing it from Mengze, or this
Things are very valuable, but the more valuable the thing, the more it deserves to be used.”)
"Is he looking for that person too?"
"No, my employer said to wait for good news from me."
("Waiting for good news? Looking at this thing is not that important to the employer, and this thing is indeed important but the location of this item is very unusual.") Deadwood proposed the most likely hypothesis.
Soon Mengze brought the dead wood to the destination of the mission.
A very special house.
“Does this house have information from the employer?”
"Yes, this is where he used to live."
"Then why doesn't he come and get it himself?"
"I don't know." Mengze added a cute voice at the end of the words, "Didn't I ask you to come? He just said to get the things back. If you don't come, I will go to the investigation office to call someone.
.”
"A reasonable approach."
Kumu looked at the ordinary house in front of him. There seemed to be nothing strange about it except that it was a little bigger.
"Is this a villa?"
"That's right, the villa."
This house is now ownerless, and Meng Ze and Dead Wood can easily get in without any method.
The first thing Mengze did when he entered the villa was turn on the lights.
All the objects are still neatly placed in place, spacious and elegant, and there is nothing weird at all, except that there is some dust on the ground.
"This place..."
Deadwood knows that the more normal a place is, the weirder it becomes.
