Human beings are always blind and arrogant. They think that if they hug each other, they will be warm. They think that they have a safe future if they hug someone who is stronger than themselves. They think they have made progress by integrating a few things casually. They think they understand and control the world by randomly choosing a code name.
.
However, it is precisely because of this innocence that they have the charm to be used as toys, and the occasional arrogant behavior of killing their owners will make people feel as real as pets.
Then, especially when I watched them gradually sinking into the abyss and gradually losing all hope, the trembling feeling of compassion and guilt that moved God really made me unable to extricate myself. I couldn't help but care for them and help them.
They make their own guns and bullets, then kill each other and destroy themselves over meaningless things.
To appreciate the charm of this sense of tragedy.
But after I found you, my brother, these insect games only made me feel tired and annoyed.
It's obviously because of you that I played the game on a whim. I've obviously played countless games like this in the past years, but why can I only feel a sense of powerlessness, brother!
Tell me! I gave up pleasure, gave up interest, and did all this painstakingly!
Why……
——Naiya
When the last ray of light that symbolizes day is covered with black veil, night, the restless night under the silent darkness, arrives.
"I have already communicated the relevant matters with cousin Luo Yan, but there is extremely bad news for you. I arranged the party in advance. The driver of the manor told me that the second young lady of the Ye family attended the party uninvited.
cocktail party."
"In other words, the Ren family didn't invite Lan Xin at the beginning, right?"
"After all, one of the core points of this reception is "taking sides." As a solid ally of the Yun family, it is certainly impossible for the Ren family to invite enemy forces to disrupt the situation at this juncture."
"To be precise, they knew that their own deterrence was no match, so they simply demonstrated unilaterally, forcing the retail traders who did not have sufficient intelligence to take sides and give full play to the advantages of "local snakes"."
"That's the truth"
There was only one passenger seat in Liu Yu's sports car. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, it was Naya who got off the car halfway, while Feng Hui and Yun Luoyan took a taxi.
But even so, the two parties were still communicating closely through headphones.
"At this cocktail party, there were only three people from the government. One was Secretary-General Yunluo's new confidant Lin Hao, and the other two were the executive section chiefs of the Central Intelligence Agency of China, Dongfang Yu, Dongfang
Bing. It is said that these two are very young, in their early twenties, about the same age as you, brother Fenghui."
"snort……"
Feng Hui snorted softly when he heard his father's name. Although he was a little surprised, he immediately understood who this arrangement was for. No, since he became more active and increased his presence, the Chinese government, especially
Secretary-General Yun Luo is so easy to do such small actions that imply a warning.
As for the two "Yu" and "Bing", except for the pair of secret troops directly affiliated with the Office of the President of China that they broke into not long ago, he really couldn't think of any other more suitable characters.
"Are those two section chiefs, positive and negative, a boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes, brothers Fenghui, do you know them?"
"No, we just worked together two or three times before."
The current situation is obvious. The purpose of sending his father is to shock himself, and then indirectly hit "Shadow Kill" to imply that they should pay attention to their discretion.
The purpose of sending those two people should be to take charge of those foreign-related mercenaries. According to the information obtained from them before, the official mission given to them by the State of China was to collect information and eliminate it.
In other words, it is to collect political chips and control domestic public opinion (to cover up shame).
Then maybe you can kindly "help" them.
"Well, then there are the two main families. The organizer, the Ren family, occupies 40% of the wine industry in Xinzhou City, a century-old family business; and there is a family that is very close to it, the Wang family, which occupies Xinzhou City.
Sixty percent of the entertainment industry, originally from Fantasy City, resolutely moved south a few decades ago when everyone was migrating to the north, and created a family business, which can be regarded as a legendary family."
"I heard that between the young masters of these two families..."
"Ah, you actually know everything... Yes, Ren Zhan, the eldest young master of the Ren family, and Wang Jian, the third young master of the Wang family, are Long Yang's best friends."
"Oh, no wonder."
"Does it mean what happened to Naya at that time?"
"Well, after all, at that time I just wanted to have a small hot pot meal with Aike in peace, but a group of thugs rushed out and destroyed the store."
"Ah ha ha ha..."
Liu Yu could only laugh in embarrassment. After all, when Naya threw Ren Zhan and gave her a drink, he had expected that similar acts of revenge would happen, but he didn't expect that besides provoking Lin Shuwen who appeared out of nowhere, he also
…
Wait, speaking of Lin Shuwen, it seems that Naya has always been pursuing him, right? But the person Naya often posts to recently is "Dagger", that is, Fenghui...?!
"Um, Brother Fenghui, are you..."
"Yes, I did use that identity at the beginning, but I hope that in normal times you..."
"I understand! I understand..."
Although Lin Shuwen did not want to reveal his identity directly in his initial plan, since the Liu family has completely surrendered to itself and is also the family where Naya stays, there is a high probability that he will become the second "Yun family" in the future. As a representative and "
"Shadow Kill" collaboration.
So since the other party has guessed the truth, there is no need for you to continue to cover up and lower the other party's impression score.
But Lin Shuwen didn’t know
What is surprising is that the revelation of this identity is nothing less than a bombshell for Liu Jinhang. The reason is that Lin Hao, the secretary-general's confidant who was introduced not long ago. In his intelligence, this person was the secretary of the President's Office of China.
Chang Yunluo's suddenly promoted confidant lost his biological son Lin Shuwen not long ago.
Couldn’t it be that this strange person with the pseudonym Feng Hui or “Dagger”... Gutang!
Liu Jinhang didn't dare to think about it anymore, or in other words, he didn't want to think about such a complicated network of relationships now that his mind was already confused. His current priority was to cooperate with "Fenghui" and "Yunluoyan" as much as possible to attend the party.
, nothing more.
Yes, you must complete this task first.
"So, the personnel sent by the Yun family are..."
"A man of unknown origin. It is rumored that his code name within the Yun family is "Black"."
"It doesn't look like a good person."
"Well, it is rumored that he was a veteran and active in the border area, but no one knows the specific situation."
(There is no information about this person in our "Shadow Kill" database.)
The double negation from the earphones made Feng Hui wary. Some kind of intuition told Lin Shuwen almost instinctively: This man is probably not a human being.
"Then, everything that follows can only be further explored after we arrive..."
The scenery outside the car window gradually unified the style, vegetation, decoration, fireworks, and even lighting art installations. They complemented each other under the command of a pair of big hands, and together they transformed the huge manor into a magical jungle dotted with fireflies.
It's as if a witch lives in it.
"Hello, please show your identification."
The taxi was stopped by the waiter at the entrance of the forest. Feng Hui patted the stunned driver on the shoulder and motioned to the waiter at the window to open the doors on both sides.
"Hello, my name is Feng Hui, and this is Miss Yun Luoyan. This is our invitation letter."
Reaching into the inner pocket of his windbreaker, Feng Hui took out two envelopes with the Ren family crest from the shadows and handed them to the waiter in front of him.
"It turns out to be Mr. Feng and Miss Yun, come here, please."
The invitation letters in Feng Hui and Yun Luoyan's hands naturally came from Liu Jinhang. Generally, the organizers of this kind of cocktail party where the attendees are uncertain will often give extra invitation letters to those who are sure to attend, and then they will provide additional invitation letters.
Invite new friends to expand your social circle.
There were a total of four additional invitations sent to the Liu family, which was twice as few as in previous years, which clearly hinted at the party's camp bias.
But as the saying goes, all things are more precious than rich. The Ren family never expected that the invitees of these four invitations would be such heavyweights.
So much so that when they saw the four people respectively, Ren Bai's family was stunned on the spot for ten seconds.
"Excuse me, should I go say hello to Mr. Ren first, or..."
Feng Hui held Yun Luoyan's hand tightly and looked at this unique jungle setting with great interest under the guidance of the waiter.
From the large water screen projection in the center to the small fireflies flying in all directions, he couldn't help but analyze the art and cost as he had studied some stage art and installation in college.
Finally, I came to the realization that I was a rookie.
"Well...Jinhang, is he here?"
Feng Hui grabbed Yun Luoyan who was about to walk out of the jungle trail. In front of the two of them, enough men and women had gathered at the main venue decorated in a European picnic style.
Although he had no experience attending such a party, his intuition told him that he needed to find Liu Jinhang who recommended him first.
"Oh, is it Mr. Liu? Let me ask for you..."
The waiter picked up the walkie-talkie on his shoulder in a well-trained manner and began to ask for information from the home controller. At this moment, Feng Hui felt that the palm in his hand suddenly stiffened.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing……"
Yun Luoyan lowered her head, avoiding the scene in front of her. Feng Hui looked forward along her line of sight, and then raised the corners of her mouth.
The young man with the bandage on his head is the young master of the Yun family, Yun Luochen, whom he deliberately let go~
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him tonight."
"No, I'm just a little surprised. In the past, even if Yun Luochen bruised his hand, Yun Mo would ask a professional doctor to treat him at home for a whole day. I didn't expect that now..."
Yun Luoyan held Feng Hui's hand tightly for a few times, then returned to normal grip strength, and her expression changed from the shock of "acting" just now to calmness.
The role she will play tonight is that of a revengeful daughter who was kicked out of her home.
"Hello, Master Liu has arrived. I will take you there."
"Trouble."
The waiter who found their destination quickly led the two of them to another path. In front of them, a man dressed in black was making way for the three of them in a gentlemanly manner.
But Feng Hui felt keenly that this man's eyes seemed to have been staring at him?
"Thanks."
When passing by, Feng Hui suddenly turned his head to meet the man's gaze and said thank you.
This sudden thank you made this man's aura stagnant, and his flattered gaze, like a believer being rewarded by a god, made Feng Hui shudder involuntarily.
"You're welcome. I hope you have a great time at this party."
The magnetic sound of vicissitudes of life was full of a mysterious allure. Feng Hui put away his eyes, and his mind was filled with a lingering dangerous judgment.
(The waning moon.)
(This man is very weird.)
(I think so,
He gives me the feeling that he is like a black mage who will appear at the witches’ banquet, teaching them unknown knowledge and magic, and bringing the devil’s instructions.)
(like...)
(Well, like "The Dark One.")
"The Dark One", one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep in the Cthulhu Mythos, is described in the original book as a human male who is completely black from clothing to skin, and often appears in the witches and unclean ones.
During the gathering, they were taught black magic and unknown rituals, or conveyed the will of foreign gods.
(But the color of his skin is that of ordinary humans in China. At present, it can only be said to be the feeling of you, the master.)
(Well, but Naiya is the "faceless god". It is normal for her to change her image as long as she wants. But if this man is the representative of the Yun family this time, considering that behind the Yun family is Naiya...
My daughter, it is reasonable for a dark person to appear here.)
(But the true body, whether it is the Swollen Daughter or the Dark Man, these are the incarnations of Naija. Master, you have seen Naija's true body.)
Zangetsu's analysis led Feng Hui's thoughts to the alley that day. The figure with long gray hair was undoubtedly Naia's true form, no matter how he felt or acted.
He had seen the formless god's true form countless times in Xushan.
(Well, the appearance of two incarnations at the same time means that Naia is not incarnating into a certain existence in person, but acting together with these incarnations like a clone, which means that she is acting with her true body somewhere...
…)
Feng Hui felt a chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by a deadly poisonous snake hiding in the dense forest.
He originally thought that what he was facing was just the swollen daughter incarnated by Naia himself, but now the appearance of the dark man has overturned the status quo and also told him that the real threat has not yet emerged and is manipulating these spider threads for a certain purpose.
Generally, the incarnation is woven into a net and oneself is firmly entangled in it.
This unknown fear made him feel uneasy. The identity of Naia was unknown, the cobwebs who didn't know the details, and his own side who had obviously entered the situation.
All of this is like a loudspeaker calling loudly in my ears:
Come and play together? I have prepared everything for the game.
(We can only take it one step at a time. At present, we can only follow the swelling daughter’s words and defeat her first and rescue Wenxin.)
(Um.)
There was a soft creaking sound from the boardwalk underfoot, and together with the rising and dancing fountain water curtain on one side, it played a free-paced forest ditty.
The moonlight spreads the wine cup, illuminating the white skin and starlight on the dress, and a leisurely and elegant atmosphere with a high-class atmosphere lingers around all the people walking.
Under the anesthesia of alcohol, his consciousness and vision were confused.
Feng Hui quietly stared at the hundreds of human scenes around him, admiring the designer's ingenuity and at the same time admiring the human world that he had never seen before.
What does it mean to be a drunkard?
The literati scorned it and said: It is a drunken vulgar person wandering between money and body, full of ugliness and immorality.
But the restrained and hazy scene around me can also be called "living in disgrace"?
People often say that everyone gets drunk without drinking. Throughout the ages, whether they are knights, princes, merchants or actors, when they are indulgent, they always use the contents of the cup to open the shackles of their souls, vent their dissatisfaction, draw their swords, or complain to each other.
Heartfelt, or forget all worries.
The so-called paper drunkenness should probably be drunkenness exchanged for paper, right? Money, contracts, deeds, letters of appointment, or letters hanging on the wall. These papers exchanged for the reasons and conditions for drunkenness, and finally condensed into the opening
The last drink of shackles.
The so-called "golden fan" should be a kind of name for a golden and charming thing. In addition to money, it also includes fame, fortune, status, and even the connections, talents, or friends that literati and elegant guests crave.
Well, aren’t we all common people...
Those lucky people who are envied by others can be intoxicated by the moon, and those respected literati and elegant guests can also be fascinated by gold.
We are all just a group of common people, there is no distinction between high and low.
Feng Hui grinned and pulled Yun Luoyan towards the exit of the path. There, Liu Jinhang, who had been waiting for a long time, was respectfully talking to a "stalwart" figure.
Through the gap between the branches, Fenghui saw a pair of mountains that could recall the touch, and the sound that gradually became clearer as it approached.
"So, how do you want to negotiate with them after that?"
"I am a guest invited by you, just because I am interested in the second young lady of the Ye family who is here to play, that's all."
"Well...I understand."
Liu Jinhang nodded heavily twice and understood what Ye Lanxin meant:
There is no need to go out of your way to introduce and establish authority. Keep everything in the realm of imagination. Let these wavering merchants understand the power of another force, and the nature of unilateral wooing will change.
In order to eliminate the Yun family's "local snake" advantage.
"By the way, where is my fiancé?"
"He should pass soon."
As if sensing Feng Hui's arrival, within a distance of less than fifty meters, Ye Lanxin suddenly took on his own "role".
When Yun Luoyan heard this sentence in the forest, she clenched Feng Hui's hand tightly.
"Hello, the front should be..."
Feng Hui interrupted the waiter's introduction, let go of Yun Luoyan's hand, and walked out of the forest path with some surprise:
"Lan Xin? Why are you here?"
Now, all the actors in this story have entered their roles.
