'How about Ah Xuan playing games?'
When Chen Qianqian was asked this question by Liu Miao, she was actually a little embarrassed, so she said: 'I heard that his beauty has 4000 points.'
"What do you mean?" Liu Miao said, can a single hero in the butt be counted as a score?
'Pfft,' Chen Qianqian laughed and said, 'That's right!'
'ah?'
"Axuan's skills in playing Overwatch are rare in a thousand years!" Chen Qianqian: "But he is such a good player, but he refuses to admit it. If you want to be friends with him, it's best not to say anything and just go up and talk to him."
Get a few, and then take him with you more, that's for sure.'
'How is your technique?'
"Me? It's okay." Liu Miao smiled slightly, then walked up the mountain calmly, and then...
"I think we should talk about what happened last night." About half an hour later, Qin Xuan turned off the power directly, and the two computers instantly blacked out. There was no way to see the result. He said mysteriously: "
Last night, it was quite extraordinary."
"I know."
Liu Miao took out her mobile phone, then rummaged through some pictures and said, "This is the geographical map of Baiquan Town that I found through my connections. It was taken by satellite last night."
"Um?"
"Look at these three pictures, they were recorded at 1:07 a.m., 1:15 a.m., and 1:22 a.m. The first and last pictures are exactly the same, and the middle one is the same." Liu Miao zoomed in.
After taking the photo, I saw the almost broken appearance of Baiquan Town when viewed from the sky. Although it was too late at night and the lights were not obvious enough, according to some traces, Liu Miao still analyzed the changes in the road layout after passing the houses in Baiquan Town.
He recounted part of the situation at that time and said: "The entire Baiquan Town felt like it had experienced a war, with houses tilting and roads collapsing. But only 7 minutes had passed, and Baiquan Town had returned to its original state. Such a thing is simply embarrassing.
Call it a miracle."
Originally, before coming here, Liu Miao didn't know how Qin Xuan did it, and could only suspect that he might be some kind of mysterious existence. But now, seeing the Dark Fire Snow Wolf, the cold air exuding all over his body was just a drop of cold air.
The light blue liquid in his mouth has the power to freeze the floor. Liu Miao feels that he has indeed touched some areas that ordinary people cannot touch, and the key to open the door to this area is right in front of him: "If you know
What, please tell me below."
Qin Xuan looked at Liu Miao who spoke sincerely. Through Liu Miao's dreams, Qin Xuan knew that this was a man who had been dealing with crime, solving cases, exploring, and thinking all his life. His childhood was not very good, and even now, he is still doing
Some meaningless nightmares, games and weird personalities are just disguises he uses to hide his inner torture and pain. The real him has always been living in the lives of others.
But no matter what, Qin Xuan can be sure that Liu Miao is an upright, fair and good policeman!
"There are some things that I can't say more about, but I can assure you," Qin Xuan said, "I am indeed no threat to this world."
Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "What is this, mind reading?"
Are there any threats?
This was Liu Miao's conclusion at the meeting. Why did Qin Xuan know about it? Qin Xuan did not explain it and said: "I must have some skills to make you go to all the trouble to get the answer, right?"
Sometimes, it is better to maintain a sense of mystery. In fact, Qin Xuan is just an apprentice of painting demon. He is a newbie himself, but it is just right to deceive Liu Miao, who knows nothing.
"Well, my purpose is to ask for the answer." Liu Miao didn't want to worry about why Qin Xuan knew his inner thoughts. Even, he didn't care how many unknown secrets Qin Xuan had mastered. He just wanted to know: "Then
What I want to know now is, is Blue Star still safe?"
"Whether it's safe or not, I don't have to say."
Qin Xuan pressed his index finger on his temple, then pulled it out, and saw virtual pictures flying out of his mind. Liu Miao saw a huge spider with three abdominal pouches, and also saw
The humanoid spider monster with a crab-like head, and how the three-sac spider monster finally devoured it and went berserk. In addition, there were so many parasitic spiderlings on the ceiling of the supermarket, as well as those that were parasitized.
people.
Liu Miao asked about the unclear points in these pictures one by one, and Qin Xuan also avoided the important and told him everything that could be said, and deleted all the parts about the demon painter. These pictures
There is no one there, and Qin Xuan won’t say much.
"Oh my God," Liu Miao really gasped after learning about the plan of the Three-Sacs Spider Demon: "If this really succeeds, then this world will be..."
Just as Liu Miao guessed, Qin Xuan's family has been on Blue Star for more than three hundred years, but they have not made many changes from beginning to end. If this incident had not exposed their whereabouts, I am afraid that in a few decades, everything will be lost.
No one realizes that such a group of people exists.
"Who exactly are you?"
"We." Qin Xuan mixed the Qin family's affairs with some concepts of the demon master, and pieced it together. Finally, in front of Liu Miao, he painted a picture of a man hidden in this remote countryside, but always fighting a group of terrifying monsters.
And the family that protects the world.
"This is me and my ancestors."
They are not bad people. Their job is to protect the world from monsters like the three-sac spider demon. It’s just that Qin Xuan concealed a lot of things. For example, when talking about how many such monsters there are in the world, Qin Xuan
Xuan said that he didn't know either, and explained that before the mountain and sea beasts were discovered, he was no different from ordinary people. Just like now, those who should play games play games, and those who should watch TV watch TV.
"Tapir Meng!" Qin Xuan shouted: "Turn down the TV volume, I'm negotiating!"
"I got it~~~" he said lazily, and Tapir Meng began to turn down the volume.
As the sound of the TV became smaller, Qin Xuan said: "You have also seen that I am no different from you. If you must give a definition, you can think of me as an unknown superhero, like in American movies.
That kind of thing.”
"Fighting crime?"
"Please forgive me for this." Qin Xuan said, "Crime is an internal matter and has nothing to do with me."
"Then, will you help us solve the case?"
"I'm not your employee," Qin Xuan said, "and I'm not short of money, so I won't do it."
Through the satellite map last night, Liu Miao could imagine the intensity of the battle at that time. Coupled with the method of silently restoring Baiquan Town, and the elusive appearance of Xiaobai and Tapir Meng, Liu Miao believed that using 'control' means would definitely
Not a good way: "So, can we cooperate?"
"Cooperation?" Qin Xuan: "Tell me about it."
"I also understand what you mean. It is only for matters related to this, uh, mountain and sea beast. Other cases, whether they are robbery, kidnapping, smuggling, murder, etc., have nothing to do with you."
This is what Qin Xuan means. The relationship between him and Blue Star is as simple as protecting him from the mountain and sea beasts. Other things are internal affairs of Blue Star. Just like the development of human beings, this is a kind of
According to the laws of nature, even if one day the Blue Star people launch a war on their own and blow up Blue Star, it is none of Qin Xuan's business, because he is a demon painter and should not interfere with the evolution of ordinary people.
This point is very clearly written in the "Genealogy Book" written by the ancestors of the Qin family. The only enemies of the demon painter are the mountain and sea beasts that invade the world. This is their job. As for the rest, why should they meddle in other people's business?
Human beings are persecuted by mountain and sea beasts, devoured and killed by them. As a human demon painter, Qin Xuan naturally has to do his part, but human beings are killing each other, so Qin Xuan has no reason to intervene.
"That's right," Qin Xuan said, "That's what I mean."
"Then, do you think this is okay?" Qin Xuan's existence is an unstable factor after all. Liu Miao is easy to talk, but it is not easy to explain to the superiors. For those powerful people, only substantial benefits and 100% guarantee can make things happen.
They were relieved, but there was no 100% guarantee here. The only thing Liu Miao could do was to create substantial benefits: "I would like to invite you to be a consultant on similar cases that cannot be explained by common sense, is that okay?"
"Consultant?" Qin Xuan: "What do you do?"
"When we encounter something like this, you come to help us solve it, or provide some necessary help, that's all."
"Can!"
However, before Liu Miao could be happy, Qin Xuan added: "But I want to add one more rule."
"What?"
"Whether I can help or not depends on my mood," Qin Xuan said, "and I am the only one who takes the initiative to help you solve your troubles, and you only have the right to consult me. Anything I say 'no' has nothing to do with my work, and
I have no obligation to help you with any work other than matters related to mountain and sea beasts. Even if it is just a piece of information, I will not give it to you."
What Qin Xuan means is, suppose that a case occurs on Blue Star. Liu Miao and the others are unable to solve it and suspect that it may be the power of the mountain and sea beast. In this case, they have no right to let Qin Xuan come over. What they can do
The only thing we can do is make a phone call and ask Qin Xuan about this matter, that is, he has no right to mobilize or order Qin Xuan. If Qin Xuan responds that it has nothing to do with mountain and sea beasts, then this case will be directly related to Qin Xuan.
No matter what Qin Xuan knew, he would not tell them a word.
On the contrary, if it is related to mountain and sea beasts, Qin Xuan will come to help them solve it, and they will be responsible for all losses during the solution process and subsequent problems.
"If you can accept it," Qin Xuan: "We can become friends."
Liu Miao was silent for a while. In fact, he had no right to agree to Qin Xuan's request. With such uncertain factors existing under their noses, no one would be reassured, but they had to accept this condition.
Because the Qin family has existed for more than three hundred years, not to mention the current government, even the former Republic of China and the destroyed Manchu Qing Dynasty have nothing to do about it. Maybe one day in the future, today's government will also be destroyed, but the Qin family still remains
will continue to exist.
They are more like the guardians of this planet than rulers and countries. Guardianship is an obligation, but not for anyone.
"You have caused a lot of trouble for me. The workload has doubled." Liu Miao rubbed the corners of his eyes, thinking about how to make those people compromise after returning, and avoid conflicts with Qin Xuan, so that he could become a powerful person.
It is indeed stupid, but definitely not stupid. To get them to agree to this agreement, Liu Miao feels that the best way is to threaten: "Can you give me some information about the monster called the three-sac spider demon?"
It doesn’t have to be too detailed, it doesn’t even have to be accurate, just making it up is fine.”
"It doesn't have to be accurate, why are you still making it up?" Qin Xuan asked doubtfully, "Then what are you doing?"
"It's coming to scare people!"
When a terrible weapon or enemy appears, such as an infectious disease, and when the whole world has no way to treat it, it will trigger panic, whether it is civilians or dignitaries, when their lives are threatened, no matter how high-minded they are,
They will also be afraid.
So, how to make them feel at ease?
It's very simple, just develop a vaccine or treatment.
When a vaccine is created and a treatment method is created, the powerful will subconsciously think: 'Ah, it's okay. There is a vaccine to prevent it. Even if you get it, as long as you have money, you can treat it. So what's the point?
So scared?'
This is very similar to the current situation.
The three-sac spider demon is very scary. Liu Miao described it as very dangerous. Once encountered, everyone will suffer, just like a terrifying infectious disease. Qin Xuan is such an expert in treating various viruses.
, Times have changed. In the past, uneasiness could only be solved by taking power into one's hands, but today's uneasiness can be solved as long as there is someone in the world who can solve it and they can find it.
As for the existence of Qin Xuan, Liu Miao will not explain much. He is just a strange person in the process of Liu Miao seeking help. A superior person will only know such a magical hermit. As for who he is and what he has.
Such ability has nothing to do with them.
"The chance of a mountain and sea beast appearing here is like winning the lottery," Qin Xuan said: "My father has lived for decades and has never encountered a mountain and sea beast on Blue Star."
This also means that Liu Miao and the others may not encounter such a thing again for a long time. Maybe in one or two years, maybe in more than ten years, no one will care about a card that they don’t know when they will be used.
, this is human nature, everyone only values immediate interests.
Now, Liu Miao only needs to go back and explain to his boss how terrifying the three-sac spider demon is, demonize it, and say that Qin Xuan is similar to a Taoist priest who specializes in solving demons and monsters. Then he also got his phone number and said that he would do anything if necessary.
They can ask him for help. In this way, with available cards in hand, they will no longer be like today when facing similar supernatural events, because they will subconsciously think: 'Even if I can't solve it, I can.
Make this call and ask for help.'
As long as the case can be solved, as long as you can give an explanation to your superiors, it won't affect your promotion and wealth, and you can sit firmly in your position, that's enough.
As for the rest, what does it have to do with them?
If you have the time, it would be better to think about how to send your children abroad, how to expand your network, and how to make more friends through drinking parties.
In response to Qin Xuan's question about how to explain things to his superiors, Liu Miao's reply was: "They are also human beings and have to live their lives."
