196. A moment of joy before the curtain opens

"...I feel like it's very quiet today. There are no people from the Guard Bureau on the street."

The gangster from the Volper clan greeted his companion next to him. The two people under the street lamp just chatted. The companion just responded to his words and continued to look at the slum area over there.

Small building window.

The light still didn't go out.

"Isn't that right? Sir, they haven't finished setting the fire yet?" As soon as the gangster complained, there was a burst of footsteps in the alley next to him. The two of them stared at the alley, looking out from the darkness.

A strong Ursus man walked out scratching his head. He wore heart-shaped sunglasses on his forehead and held a city tourist map in his hand. He was dressed quite casually.

To be honest, those round ears and sunglasses didn't match his ferocious face and body shape at all. Seeing that he was such a funny tourist, the two people who had been crouching warily before couldn't help laughing.

The strong man with a sad face looked for laughter and saw the two people under the street lamp. A happy smile appeared on his face. He strode over and grabbed them enthusiastically. He pointed at the map in a language he did not understand and looked at it.

It looked like he was asking for directions.

"*Longmen swears*, what is this Ursus talking about when he rushes to the street?"

"Never mind him, just ask him for directions. The roads in Longmen are so complicated, and it's not far from the city. It makes sense to come here if you get lost."

Just when the two of them were looking at the map, the strong man dropped the map and locked their necks in his arms with two strong arms. No matter how hard they pushed, they just laughed heartily——

There was no movement between the two of them.

Iron Arm let go of the two of them, took out his earphones and put them into his ears, and asked in English at the other end: "Are they coming out?"

"No, she is still changing clothes."

The strong man scratched his head helplessly: "Can't this move faster?" Jiang Yan on the other end of the channel was carrying a heavy box, thinking about this team terminal he had never seen before, logging into his account, "There is no way, you

We can’t let her go out in her pajamas.”

The account was successfully logged in - it seems that Lao Wang, the old terminal, has not been eliminated. Jiang Yan opened the communication list and called up the team member ID from it.

No tail: Hank

No tail: Hank!!

black goat:!

The other party has sent you a video call request.

Jiang Yan answered the call, and the tall and thin man in a sweatshirt on the screen shocked him - where did Hank's unkempt hair go? Why did he get a short haircut? Now he can only be recognized by his body shape, horns and dark circles under his eyes.

Brothers.

"I *expletive* from a certain area of ​​Yanguo* you are a fairy! Jiang Xian, you *expletive* from a certain area of ​​Yanguo* have no hiccups?"

What the hell is this half-baked Chinese with a crooked accent but distinctive characteristics! Listening to this familiar swear word, Jiang Yan couldn't help but blurt out his native language: "When you say this, why does the hot pot taste so strong?"

Hank blinked with confusion on his face, as if he half understood what Jiang Shao said. Jiang Shao had no choice but to ask again in English: "I ask you where did you learn Chinese? How do you learn such dialects and swear words?

It's not cleaner inside either." Hank scratched his head and said, "I'm in the country of Yan now, and I learned Chinese from my master. He didn't tell me what it meant, but I heard them say that, so I learned it.

Let’s talk about it.”

Well, language is assimilated by the environment, so it makes sense. Hank reached out from the side and took out the water bottle, "What about you? Where did you put it? After you disappeared, we all went crazy and the official staff couldn't ask anything.

I’m just saying that you’re fine. You don’t know that Jessica almost…” Hank thought about the wording for a while and found that there was really no way to rephrase this thing, “I almost gave the mercenaries millions to search for you.”

...Good guy, mercenaries go to mercenaries, that is, Jessica has the ability to do this kind of thing: if it is an ordinary person, who has two coins in his pocket, who will be a mercenary? Jiang Yan thought about Jessica He looked like he was taking out his credit card from his bag, and responded with a smile, "I'm in Longmen now, and I'm not doing much, I'm just doing tests. But now I have a mission, and I have to——"

"Jiang Yan, we have packed our things." Shen Mo walked downstairs carrying a simple box and saw the two people lying in the corner, "They are..."

"It's nothing, I just fell here drunk." Jiang Yan put the Molotov cocktail and lighter into the corner. He knew that these words could not deceive Shen Mo, mainly because he did not want Shen Xuan behind her to be frightened. "It's not a big deal to sleep here on a hot day, just leave it as it is." He looked at the screen again, where Hank was looking desperately towards the edge of the screen, trying to figure out whose mouth this strange female voice came from. Said.

"What are you doing?"

"You... oh, forget it. You are just a boring gourd, and you can't figure it out. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Sooner or later, you will get it."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yan felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused. Forget it, business is important. "Remember to read the document I sent you, here comes the mission." After that, he hung up the communication.

"Do you still remember Miss Lin who helped last night?"

"...Hmm." I don't know if the coat is missing, or if it's the cold or if I'm not used to it, but Shen Mo always has one hand crossed. Jiang Yan looked at the bartender outfit he was wearing, a long-sleeved shirt and a vest. It's not easy to put it on Shen Mo. "Let's go find her now. She will protect -" Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xuan who was looking behind him, "Well, she wants to invite you two sisters to catch up on old times. Their family and yours should be Old friend, that’s what I heard.”

Shen Mo held Shen Xuan's hand, "Then what are you going to do?"

"We still have some things to do tonight." Jiang Yan stood up and smiled at Shen Mo, who had a nervous brow, and Shen Xuan, who looked confused, "It's okay. It will be over tonight."

It will be bright soon.

"I'm really lucky that you kid can get along so well in Longmen."

Tieju and Jiang Yan walked side by side on a road with no street lights. With special training, their night vision was able to recognize that the patterns on the wall were chaotic, exaggerated and tense graffiti. This is a characteristic of this slum area. . Iron Arm continued, "We originally thought you would be struggling on the line of life and death for a whole month, and you might even be arrested for hooliganism at the beginning. Unexpectedly, you became so famous that you even became one of the three heroes in the water, and even Even the Rat King knows you."

"Before I met you, how the hell did I know that the old man hiding in the alley and opening a candy shop was the Rat King." Jiang Yan's voice was full of helplessness over the past two days, but Iron Arm was wrong. Thinking that he was still complaining about the incident in City A, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"Hey kid, I promise you, that was the last time I ever lied to you."

Jiang Yan looked up at the tall man in confusion, "What are you talking about? Oh, that matter, it's okay. I've finished the fight and my anger has gone away, so let's get over it. By the way, that cigarette case of yours Do you still have it with you?"

"This?" Iron Arm took out the rustic, weathered iron cigarette case. He always kept the cigarette case with family photos close to his chest. "Yes, that's it - give me one."

"That's not okay. The cigarettes in this box were smoked after the mission was over. I will retire when the box is empty and will never share it with others." Iron Arm pushed Jiang Yan's hand away and put away the cigarette box again. "That's it.

You don’t know how to smoke, so why do you want this?”

"I'm afraid my legs will get weak when I go in later, so I feel like I can hold my vagina if I click one."

"What the hell, why are you weak-limbed for such a trivial matter? There's no need to learn to smoke because of this - I'll support you later."

"Sure-have you brought the things that Lao Wang gave you?"

Tie Jian took out a bank card from his pocket, and Jiang Yan took out a stack of money from his pocket, which he collected from the two guys who lay down at the door of Shen Mo's house. "There are three thousand here, help me alone."

Place your bet."

"Bet on yourself that you will have bad luck, kid." With that said, Iron Arm still put the money in his bag.

They had arrived at their destination. In front of them was a dim yellow lamp. Under the lamp, a small door was ajar. There were waves of sound coming from inside, as well as hot and humid wind mixed with a complex smell.

"Gui'an."

A sudden greeting appeared on the opposite side, and it was another group of visitors. The lady who came was dressed luxuriously, and her behavior was full of aristocratic elegance. Although her face and posture fully demonstrated her charm as a woman, her pair of night eyes

The eyes in his eyes make people shudder.

It was a pair of burning golden eyes.

——

A smile appeared on Tallulah's lips, "I didn't expect that we would meet again, venerer (Hunter). I guess you are doing well?"

"Good night - thanks to you, I've been very busy these past two days."

Tallulah ignored the deliberate sarcasm of the young man dressed as a bartender in front of her. He was very smart, and it was not surprising that he had guessed what happened or her identity. But at the moment, his goal seemed to have little to do with her.

"You are dressed very gorgeously tonight." He started, putting his hands in his trouser pockets with a look that was not very respectful. Tallulah's eyes signaled the somewhat excited subordinates to restrain themselves. The young man continued, "In my impression,

There is a culture of wearing your best clothes to bury your enemies – are you here to seek revenge?”

"No." Tallulah denied, still with a polite smile on her face, "Strictly speaking, this is a business-related issue."

"Really?" The young man looked indifferent.

Tallulah asked, "Looking at your attire, maybe you are in the alcohol industry? It might be a good idea to provide alcohol to underground casinos. Are you here to discuss business?"

"No." The young man kicked open the ajar door.

"——I'm here to seek revenge."

PS: The reference word for hunter has been replaced with venerer
