As early as when he received the notice to come to this city for a mission, Liu Minghao knew that this was definitely not a good job - not because of the case, but because it was just the private territory of the Chinese True Dragon.
If it were just a real dragon, Liu Minghao wouldn't be too worried. After all, as one of the top advisors of the administration, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke it - the key is that there are too many monsters living in this city.
The real dragon's private area can be said to be the place with the highest proportion of monsters in the urban population in the country - so if you wander around this place, you may encounter monsters casually.
In fact, Liu Minghao and Wei Zidao tried their best to be careful and avoid the vague monsters when moving, but in the end they encountered monsters, and they were both high-level monsters and witches.
The offspring of the union of humans and demons can be born very powerful, or they can be powerless due to the imbalance of blood between the two sides... Mixed blood will go to two extremes.
Obviously, the witch from Haidongqing shown in the data is a powerful type... Facing high-level monsters, the Bureau usually needs at least three fully armed senior agents to be able to deal with them.
What's more, Tara is a miko?
A drop of cold sweat gradually slipped down... Liu Minghao was fortunate that Tara seemed to be the easier to talk type - at least, after proving her identity, she made no further moves.
"What did this friend of mine commit?"
Those strange tattoos have disappeared, and Tara is no different from an ordinary young girl at this time, but there is still a hint of displeasure in her words.
Friend...not boyfriend?
Wei Zidao subconsciously looked back at Chen Mingming, while waiting for Liu Minghao's move - this would determine what Wei Zidao would do next.
Liu Minghao withdrew the metal whip at this time, with a smile on his face, "Miss Tara, it's an honor to meet you... In our archives, Miss Tara's record is good."
"You haven't answered my question yet." Tara frowned.
Liu Minghao waved his hand at this time, and Wei Zidao also put down the special revolver that could shoot Taoist bullets. He then briefly explained the cause and effect.
"...That's the thing. Miss Tara, this friend of yours happens to be in the aura of our investigation. So, we are just doing things impartially."
Tara still frowned, and after a while she shook her head and said: "I have known him for almost a year. He is just an ordinary person. I can guarantee this. According to what you said, the murderer is capable, naturally.
It can't be him. There are so many monsters in this city, and if you don't check them out, are you putting the cart before the horse?"
We also want to check...
It's just that this time he and Wei Zidao came over, and Wei Zidao was still new to the industry... The middle and low-level agents of the two bureaus, in a place like a monster base, could easily provoke the hidden...
What should I do if some of the big guys here are unhappy?
In fact, after seeing the corpse in the detention center, Liu Minghao had the idea of closing the case. Anyway, the person who died was just a bad person, and there was really no need to waste the resources of the bureau. Besides, something like this was suspected of being an extraordinary person.
There have been thousands of cases accumulated in the Bureau over the years...
If there hadn't been another incident involving Chang Xiao's death, the two of them would have temporarily closed the case and returned to work.
"Since Miss Tara is the guarantee, there is no problem."
Liu Minghao nodded quickly, "I'm sorry for what happened today, but don't worry, Miss Tara, your friend is just asleep. After all, we are only investigating and will not harm the safety of citizens casually.
"
Tara nodded.
The relationship between Chaofan and the Administration is quite delicate. Both parties have an attitude of trying to avoid conflict as much as possible.
"Excuse me, Miss Tara."
Liu Minghao and the two began to pack their tools and prepare to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Tara suddenly said at this time: "Leave me your contact information."
"??"
Tara shrugged and said: "Don't you want to investigate the case? If I have any clues, I can inform you! Isn't it said that assisting the Bureau in handling cases can improve the freedom of demon citizens? I want to go to Bashu this summer.
Regional tourism! Let me tell you, I’ve almost earned enough points for my visa!”
"……good."
There are indeed regulations governing the residence of monsters in the Management Bureau. Under normal circumstances, when a monster chooses to settle in a certain place, he cannot leave at will.
As for going out, you need to register and file... But although there are indeed such regulations, there are many people who secretly do not abide by them.
Liu Minghao didn't expect that this powerful human-male hybrid would actually be a law-abiding guy... The two left their contact information and left quickly.
…
"But Brother Hao, what a pity. If our attitude was a little tougher, we should be able to question that young man, right?" Wei Zidao couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Liu Minghao said: "Tara seems to be very concerned about this young man. We can't offend her. It's not that we are afraid of her strength, but that her identity is relatively sensitive."
sensitive?
Wei Zidao asked puzzledly: "Why?"
Liu Minghao said seriously: "She is a witch, and she is also a witch from Haidongqing. The eagle totem can be said to be one of the three major totems in the grassland. On the prairie, it is no better than in the inland areas... The ethnic groups there have been there since ancient times.
She is a totem believer. If she were the spiritual leader of a group, she would be in big trouble."
This tribe does not refer to the demon tribe, but to those ethnic groups living on the grasslands - they may not have a large population, but they are also legal citizens.
"Okay." Wei Zidao nodded, then opened the Bagua Mirror, "There are still seven or eight guys who haven't investigated."
"Try to complete it within today." Liu Minghao thought for a while and said: "If there is still no result, then we can only find another way."
…
When he opened his eyes, what caught Chen Mingming's sight was the girl's face reflected in the light.
Chen Mingming frowned in confusion.
At this time, he was lying on a bench and resting his head on Tara's thigh. The surrounding area was relatively quiet...it was no longer in front of the square where the food festival was held, but in the rest area behind the square.
Chen Mingming wanted to sit up, but Tara pressed his body down and covered his eyes with her palms.
The girl's soft voice sounded in Chen Mingming's ears, saying: "It will be good for you to lie down for a while. You fainted suddenly just now. Maybe you are not in good health."
There seemed to be a warmth coming from the warm palm, covering Chen Mingming's eyelids, and his drowsy and slightly swollen head seemed to have received some relief.
"Are you feeling better?" Tara asked softly.
"Yeah." Chen Mingming responded subconsciously.
"Do we need artificial respiration?" Tara's surprise was once again revealed in front of Chen Mingming.
Chen Mingming reached out and pressed Tara's palm covering his eyes, blocking his lips at the same time.
"Hello?" Tara lowered her head and her hair fell down.
"Huh?" Chen Mingming responded softly.
Tara smiled and said, "Actually, you want me to kiss you, right?"
Chen Mingming told a not-so-funny joke, "Humans have evolved for so long, but I haven't been able to evolve into a lower-body animal. I guess I have lowered my level. I'm really sorry."
Tara still covered Chen Mingming's eyes with her hands, but her voice was getting closer and closer, as if she could feel her breathing, "Kissing, in many cases, is not necessarily because of sex. It may be because you want to be contacted, recognized, and kissed.
Man knows himself.”
"Why." Chen Mingming asked calmly.
Tara smiled and said: "Because I am a monster, I can touch human hearts. You must be lonely."
He moved his palm away little by little and moved it to Chen Mingming's lips. He could once again see Tara's face clearly. Being so close, the sunlight shone like jade on her face, and she finally kissed her.
Just separated by her palm.
In an instant, Chen Mingming felt a little panicked and could not keep his calm... Tara raised her head proudly, looked at it, and chuckled: "Deliberate imitation does not mean that you can do it, even if you can understand others.
Even if you think about it, you can't stay in the same world as that person. From the beginning, you and that person are two independent individuals."
Chen Mingming opened his mouth slightly.
Tara whispered: "What I can see...in that person's eyes, besides loneliness, there is also attachment. But you don't have it!"
Chen Mingming frowned.
Tara said: "You can't even see yourself clearly, how can you see people's hearts clearly?"
Chen Mingming laughed, covered his eyes with his hands, and whispered: "I'll rest for a while."
Tara stretched out her hand and stroked Chen Mingming's head, coaxing and saying: "Be good, good boy."
…
When he woke up again, Tara was gone, but in his hand, he held a note left by Tara.
——I'm leaving first.
Before I knew it, it was already late.
Chen Mingming didn't expect that he could sleep for such a long time - Tara didn't leave any more information for him, which gave Chen Mingming a very free and easy feeling.
Sitting up, Chen Mingming did not leave immediately, but just thought about something quietly... There were fewer and fewer people in the rest area at the moment. Most people went to the mall to eat or go shopping, right?
Until the sky became darker and darker, and the lights also turned on... Chen Mingming closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was someone sitting next to him.
The person who sold him the silver pistol: Luo Qiu.
It just came out of nowhere.
Maybe it came because of the call in his heart.
…
"Have I... seen you somewhere?" Chen Mingming frowned, "When I first met you, I seemed to have this feeling. It was very vague."
Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said: "Many times when we see others, we feel a sense of déjà vu."
Chen Mingming subconsciously said: "You mean... the deja-vu phenomenon?"
Luo Qiu smiled without saying a word and said softly: "Guest, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Try." Chen Mingming thought for a while, "Just as I went to your place inexplicably, is there any other way to make you appear?"
"For example, if you transfer the gun, is it also an attempt?"
"As expected, you know." Chen Mingming nodded: "However, since we have obtained something unknown, shouldn't we first find out its truth?"
"That's right." Luo Qiu smiled slightly, "Since the contract has been signed, the things are yours to use. How to use them is of course the guest's freedom."
Chen Mingming looked at Luo Qiu and suddenly asked: "Do you think he can use it?"
Luo Qiu asked rhetorically: "Delivery and use are often tied together. Don't guests have already thought about it before transferring it to others?"
Chen Mingming shook his head, "No, I just gave two options."
"Are there two meanings..." Luo Qiu looked at Chen Mingming and suddenly smiled: "You and I were a bit similar before, but not entirely."
Chen Mingming frowned.
"Let's see." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "How about we make a bet on whether this shot will be fired?"
"gambling?"
Luo Qiu nodded and said: "A customer also bet with me before, but of course he bet on something else."
"result?"
"There are winners and losers." Luo Qiu smiled and said: "Of course, guests can also choose not to participate. This is just a temporary project, just on my whim, and maybe I will change my mind next moment."
"What's the bet?" Chen Mingming asked calmly.
"If you win, I will give you something of the same value as this gun for free." Luo Qiu said calmly: "But if you lose, our contract will skip the last part... What do you think?"
"In that case, I refuse." Chen Mingming shook his head.
Luo Qiu said, "Is it because the conditions are not attractive enough? If so, I can give you a higher value, double, triple, or even more."
Chen Mingming still shook his head: "Since there is a probability of victory or defeat, there is no absolute win or loss. I don't like things that are out of my control. Moreover, if you can afford to lose, I may not be able to afford to lose."
"You are really a careful person." Luo Qiu smiled, then stood up, "If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave. Dear guest, I am very happy to have this meeting with you."
Chen Mingming sighed secretly... In the so-called talks, he was completely on the led side.
"I'm also very happy about this meeting." Chen Mingming nodded, and before Luo Qiulin left, he suddenly asked: "If this bet starts, which side will you choose? To open it, or not to open it?"
Luo Qiu said calmly: "I will choose the other side you choose."
Watching Luo Qiu disappear gradually, Chen Mingming did not blink his eyes. It was not until a long time later that he slowly breathed out and murmured to himself, "Complete...disadvantage."
…
…
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
The pretty girl smiled sweetly, then turned around and walked into a dance practice room... Dong Shaofeng retracted his hand that stretched out the car window, and then closed the car window.
The two teammates sitting behind laughed strangely, "Hey, Master Feng, I think this girl will fall in a few days!"
Dong Shaofeng looked back and said calmly: "You drive, I'll sit in the back."
"Okay!"
Although this is not a top-notch luxury car, there are still relatively few students who can afford to drive such a car that costs hundreds of thousands - at least this is a car that their teammates cannot afford to drive.
The two quickly got out of the car and exchanged places.
Just when Dong Shaofeng sat down, another teammate behind him suddenly looked at the back of the car, "Young Master Feng...that seems to be your mother?"
Dong Shaofeng frowned and looked back.
In front of a brand clothing store not far away, a handsome and tall young man was seen walking out with an attractive woman in his arms, talking and laughing.
It's so boring that it's almost as if there's no one around.
"Let's drive." Dong Shaofeng withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly.
