Downstairs of the Internet cafe, a scrap truck drove east. In the corner of the block 3 kilometers away from the two of them, the quiet Kurotaki Tea Shop welcomed a new customer.
"Welcome! What would you like to drink? Today I recommend jasmine black tea. It warms the stomach and helps you sleep. It tastes very comfortable..."
Ye Lanxin looked at Lao Guo who was clumsily selling products in front of her. His sincere expression made her feel a little dazed, but she immediately put on a professional smile.
"Excuse me, Lin Shuwen, where is he?"
"Oh~ As for Hui...he said he wants you to order a drink first and then go."
Lao Guo glanced at Ye Wenxin who was pulling Lin Shuwen's arm in the corner, quietly pushed his wife who was cleaning the utensils next to him, and winked. Aunt Zhang understood, took a snack from the counter and left.
"Well, I want the black tea you mentioned. I'll wait for you to make it."
Ye Lanxin guessed what the two were thinking without much thinking. She sat elegantly on the table near the counter, thought for a moment, and began to scan the store blatantly.
"Um... who are you and Hui?" Lao Guo hurriedly pulled Ye Lanxin's gaze back.
"Boyfriends"
"That's right. They match well, don't they?"
"Thanks"
The clumsy protection of this gentle couple made Ye Lan feel warm and yearning in her heart. She was used to suspicion and betrayal, and she felt unusually happy at this moment.
This is the person we want to protect, she thought.
"How about it?"
"Hui said just let her go directly."
"Is this kid stupid?"
"I do not know either!"
"Let me remind you that something is actually for signaling. It's a good kid, but I didn't expect it to be..."
Lao Guo showed an expression of hatred for steel. He breathed heavily and did not notice that Ye Lanxin had come to the counter.
"Excuse me, what happened?"
"Son, listen to me. Although I am an outsider, there are some things I must take care of. Wife, call him over!"
"well?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Guo will make the decision for you. If he doesn't give you an explanation today, don't even think about leaving!"
"Alas~~~"
Is it so direct? He deserves to be called a big man from the north. Ye Lanxin looked blankly at Lao Guo who was cursing behind the counter. Her usual intelligence suddenly had no use. The couple in front of her was so sincere that she couldn't handle it.
"You're here, why don't you come over?"
"Hui, come here."
"oh"
Lin Shuwen walked to the counter in confusion and put Lao Guo's hands on his shoulders.
"Are you going to blind me?"
"ah?"
"Sister, you are here, why didn't you come earlier?"
"elder sister?!"
"Yes, I am her sister."
"Ah~ I said so, haha..."
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth to suppress laughter, Lao Guo scratched his head in embarrassment, Ye Lanxin glanced at the confused Lin Shuwen, and snapped her fingers in front of him.
"Let's go, don't you have something to ask me?"
"Well, then Uncle Guo, let's leave first."
"Go quickly, go quickly, isn't this a good boy!"
"Hahaha"
Aunt Zhang finally couldn't help laughing and patted Lao Guo on the back. Lao Guo continued to scratch his head and was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
"What happened?"
"You just have an extra girlfriend."
"That's it. I thought they knew something. "Old Long" told me about your methods."
"Stop the killing in the shadows. This is the first principle of "shadow killing". We are the guardians who protect them. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse by becoming the perpetrators?"
The three of them sat down, and Ye Lanxin looked tenderly at his sister who was hugging his arms.
"lie."
Lin Shuwen, who has learned about the situation with "Old Dragon", is very aware of the ruthlessness of the so-called "Shadow Kill". The reason why Shadow Kill, who is the same age as Shenzhou Kingdom, has been unknown for decades is only one choice: surrender, disappear or lose his memory.
"Huh? Why are you trying to imitate me?"
"..."
"pain!"
Ye Lan
Her heart beat against her sister's forehead. Ye Wenxin covered her head in pain and stared at her sister angrily. Ye Lanxin straightened her collar and put her cell phone with the indicator light on on the table.
"Your sister has used this trick before." Lin Shuwen glanced at the mobile phone on the table.
"She was just copying what was going on. The real recording device was inside my collar."
In fact, both devices are running, and there is even a recording device in Ye Lanxin's sleeve. For Ye Lanxin, she will not take it lightly, no matter how small it is. At least until she has a lover, she will not do it because of
Relax your vigilance on business matters under any circumstances.
"If it were before that day, I might complain about your dirty tactics."
"In the future, you will find that compared to living, you can even abandon your humanity."
The air became thicker, and a bone-chilling chill enveloped the three of them.
"JOJO! I'm no longer a human being!"
"Shut up!" they both said in unison.
"Well!"
Ye Wenxin, who was distracted by playing tricks, was yelled to the point of being autistic. She leaned on Ye Lanxin's shoulder frustratedly, biting the straw.
"Maybe I should listen to you and not bring her."
"She's my editor in charge."
"Haha, my opinion of you has improved. So, do you have any questions for me?"
Ye Lanxin smiled and put her elbow against the armrest of the sofa, supported her head with her right hand, and crossed her legs, waiting for Lin Shuwen to ask questions. In psychology, this posture represents extreme self-confidence, and she wants to compete for the dominance of the conversation.
.
"How much authority does Shadow Kill have?"
Lin Shuwen was leaning on the sofa, his legs spread naturally. The waning moon that appeared at some unknown time was lying on his legs, and he was caressing him. Lin Shuwen was looking for a sense of security.
"One of the purposes of Shadow Killing: All means are allowed, but only the family and country cannot be let down."
An explanation without his own personal color, and a sharp and appropriate answer to Lin Shuwen's question. But there is room, there is room for Lin Shuwen's self-understanding. At what level are all means, on that side, are all means allowed?
.Through the understanding revealed by Lin Shuwen's next sentence, Ye Lanxin can know what the depth of his thinking is, and then she can extract the desired information at her own pace.
"For you, would you betray your family and country for her?"
Turning the subject to the other party and directly placing the other party's bottom line on both ends of the scale, Lin Shuwen wanted to drag Ye Lanxin's own thoughts into the conversation. Through summarizing the known information, Lin Shuwen fully understood that Ye Lanxin was
How much you value your sister. Compared with her current smile, the smile she looks at Ye Wenxin is her real smile.
"Stopping the killing in the shadows means smothering everything in the shadows. If we can't even do this, it won't be us who kill in the shadows."
Coldness climbed up his spine, and Lin Shuwen understood the meaning of this sentence: For the shadow killing organization, even the so-called "family and country" matters can be solved in the shadows, so in other words:
"The meaning of "home and country" is defined by you."
Shadow refers to a place where even light cannot reach. For people who live in the light, those who live in the shadow "do not exist". But for those who live in the shadow, they can go without any trace.
Decide what light is like.
"I didn't say that. After all, when there is light, there will be shadow."
Ye Lanxin is doing the final test. Although Shadow Killer can decide what the light should look like, everyone in the Shadow Killer organization has a standard that must be achieved. This is the boundary between themselves and the enemy.
"If the light at this time is flawed, then you..."
"What would you do if you were us?"
"If you remove the flaws, the small lights that exist in this big light are very cute. I hope they can keep shining."
He thought of a faint light that lit up his halo in the darkness.
"That's it"
The lights outside the window suddenly went out, and the dim light embraced the three of them. There is only one standard for Shadow Kill - that is to have the "light" to support oneself. The so-called family and country in Shadow Kill are meant to make most people
A place with light, whether it's the alien in the shadow or the light
Ordinary people in Mingli.
"The network administrator adds two bottles of beer! I want it cold! And a bag of shrimps! A bag of shredded squid..."
In the Xunying Internet Cafe, Lao Long opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, clicking on the list loudly. He hung up the audio sharing with Zang Yue and banged the keyboard excitedly:
"Let me just say this kid is a good kid! Hahaha, I'm charging 80,000 yuan tonight! You pay the bill!"
"You..."
Ye Yuan cut off the link that invaded Ye Lanxin's recording transmission channel, took out his mobile phone with a wry smile, and recharged Lao Long's game account with 80,000 yuan. This meant that "Old Long" would help Ye Yuan complete what he had not just said.
Complete request.
"Do you know? What you said just now determines your life or death. If you are an inhuman fool, even if you are his child, we will kill you."
"For you, the word human touch shouldn't be used, right?"
"Isn't it human to be willing to sacrifice your life for people?"
"For, who?!"
"For those who enjoy the light in the world over there."
Ye Lanxin's expression gradually turned cold, and she became impatient with Lin Shuwen's misunderstandings and suspicions.
"What about the other non-human beings here? Isn't the Shadow Killing Organization their protector?"
The doll's smile appeared in Lin Shuwen's mind. He thought of a terrible possibility and clenched his hands unconsciously. He once again showed the fearful look in his eyes. At this moment, his urgent hope came from Ye Lan's heart.
Of course.
"As long as those ordinary people are well, we will provide them with remuneration that is worthy of their value."
Ye Lanxin fully understood what answer Lin Shuwen was looking for. In a sense, the organization could be regarded as the protector of weird things in this land. However, if he wanted this immature chick to grow, his innocence must be completely eradicated.
Even if it breaks him down.
But that also means that this person has no training value.
"Just like you will get paid for your work, we will not raise any garbage from over there who is not qualified, not capable enough, and has no research value. If you don't have the ability, just throw it outside. If it will interfere with the world over there, we will
I will handle it myself."
Ye Lanxin adjusted his sitting position, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils reflected the silver light coming from the window, revealing a murderous aura.
"Once you are selected by the organization, you can either show your abilities and get considerable rewards, or you can wait to be killed by the world here for violating the rules."
She was serious. Lin Shuwen would not doubt the authenticity of Ye Lanxin's words at all. Every word in those words was true. Putting his forehead on his hair, he racked his brains to find his own value. As time went by,
As time passed, his breathing stopped, and his slightly withered body sank deeply into the sofa, staring down at the table.
"But having said that, we will provide obedient people with opportunities to grow, and if you are capable enough, even a technician in our research department can protect the creatures you want to protect? As long as we do not violate the rules, we
It won't stop those weirdos, or even prevent you from entering life in the world over there "like normal people."
Ye Lanxin took out the unexpected sweet dates. She gave Lin Shuwen what he wanted most at the moment. If the doll was still alive, he would abide by and fulfill all the "growth opportunities" she gave him because of this promise.
", in order to protect her. But now that the doll is gone, will he work hard for his own life before the next light comes? She is waiting for his attitude.
"I believe in reincarnation..." The withered lips spat out feeble syllables, and the bloodless face looked like a zombie. But in the center of the sunken pupils, the girl's shadow turned into a glow.
"She hopes that I can take her home next time, and I want to live until then. So..."
Dazzling white light illuminated the window, and the black silhouette straightened up in the daylight.
"Please, tell me what to do..."
"Then tell me your value first, specifically what you can do."
Ye Lanxin took the last sip of black tea, and the rich sweetness filled her mouth. She tasted the sweetness and breathed a sigh of relief.
