"Originally." Old Man Xu's smile was very helpless, and his eyes showed an undisguised exhaustion at this moment: "The greater the development of the alliance, over the years, every joint meeting has become A place of quarrels, quarreling, and congressmen like me are just marginalized decorations. Several big organizations and powerful forces are fighting back and forth. I am too lazy to participate in it. I have been absent from the annual joint meeting three times. Well, instead of going to Zurich every year to watch those people quarreling, it’s better to stay in China and do business and make money.”
Chen Xiao showed a look of understanding, but then he frowned again: "Uncle Xu, why are you telling me these things about the International Superpower Alliance?"
Then he thought about what Lao Tian told him about the internal conflicts of the Service Society, and what Old Man Xu said about the establishment of the International Alliance, which almost became the trigger for the first split of the Service Society. And the question that Old Man Xu asked himself as soon as he entered the study room just now...
Chen Xiao's expression changed: "Could it be that... the service club split again?"
Old Man Xu glanced at Chen Xiao: "You are not slow to respond. It seems you have guessed it."
"I still don't understand, even if the service club splits again, what does it have to do with me."
"It doesn't matter, it all depends on Shi Gaofei." Old Man Xu sighed, he stood up, personally brought a cup of tea to Chen Xiao, and placed it in front of Chen Xiao, with worry on his face: "Although I haven't been back to Zurich in three years , but there are still some old friends in the Alliance Joint Council, and a lot of news can be obtained in this circle. Recently, there has been a series of actions within the service agency. From the news passed to me, it seems that Another round of cleaning!”
Chen Xiao noticed that when Mr. Xu said the word "cleaning", his tone was very solemn: "It's just that I didn't expect that the internal conflicts in the service agency would be so intense this time. Even people like Shi Gaofei were passive. !”
As he said that, he shook his head: "You don't understand, Shi Gaofei's status in the service club is lofty and transcendent. Even in the entire international superpower community, he, a wheelchair weirdo, is very famous. Over the years, the service club has almost Almost half of all technical and scientific research developments and reserves are related to him. If such a person is purged, in my opinion, it will be like the service agency destroying the Great Wall! Moreover, it seems... According to the information I got , a project that Shi Gaofei has been researching with all his strength recently, is related to you."
"You mean... purification potion." Chen Xiao sighed: "Uncle Xu, do you also know about this?"
"After all, I still have some connections." Old Man Xu's face became more and more serious: "The problem is that before Shi Gaofei was purged, the topic he was researching was the reverse replication of purification agents, but after his arrest, , news came that he had taken out the Service Society. Subsequently, all the research projects he led were frozen. The Service Society has submitted a notice to the alliance, stating that if any supernatural organization dares to accept Shi Gaofei This traitor is tantamount to declaring war on the Service Society! The Service Society has always behaved quite mildly. Even if there are occasional behaviors that break away from the organization, they usually turn a blind eye. Otherwise, the three people on the street will The old monster may not be able to live so carefree. Generally speaking, even if someone wants to leave the organization, the service club will probably give him a retired name for the sake of face. But this time, it seems that he is really anxious. The notice has been handed over to the alliance and published, which is equivalent to a No. 1 wanted order in the international supernatural world!!
Although everyone knows that Shi Gaofei is a priceless treasure, if he can be obtained, then maybe a large number of valuable top-secret cutting-edge technological achievements of the service agency can be obtained from the service agency's former scientific research chief engineer. However, the service club's attitude this time was very tough, which made most organizations dare not have any evil thoughts. After all, even if you get such a treasured person and a lot of technology, before you can digest it, the service club will probably send people to destroy the family. After thinking about it, it seems that the only one who has the courage to accept Shi Gaofei is the club. But the attitude of the club this time is also very strange. They publicly announced that they would never accept Shi Gaofei. Even the news I heard was that there was a saying within the club that they were going to send someone to kill Shi Gaofei.
The current situation is very interesting. The service club is eager to capture Shi Gaofei alive. The club wanted to kill this guy directly. This weird attitude from both sides has made the relationship between the two sides tense again. The service agency accused the club of interfering in their internal affairs, and the club countered that Shi Gaofei had been removed from the service agency and that they had a personal grudge with him...
After much deliberation, I'm afraid there is only one conclusion, that is, the service agency wants to capture Shi Gaofei for the purpose of research on purification agents! But the club wants to kill Shi Gaofei, which I can't figure out. It stands to reason that if the club also wanted to obtain the research results of the purification agent, then it should try its best to catch Shi Gaofei before the service agency, but it directly issued a kill order, which is puzzling. "
Chen Xiao pursed his lips and didn't say much, but in his mind he recalled the scene when he met Shi Gaofei on Home Island. That guy in a wheelchair spoke coldly and meanly, but his eyes were full of enthusiasm when he talked about research. Although that guy had a weird attitude towards him, Chen Xiao actually had a very good impression of him.
How could a guy like that betray the service club? Judging from the brief contact with him, Shi Gaofei is the kind of simple scientific researcher who loves serving the society wholeheartedly.
If it is to cover up hypocrisy, it seems that there is no need to act on an outsider like myself.
"Another split. Now I don't know how many people are waiting to see the good show of the service club." Old man Xu shook his head: "The committee of the service club has already been divided. Now the news is flying all over the sky, and I don't know which one is true. It's false. The service agency recently got into a dispute with the club, accusing the club of attacking their branch in Africa. The club has officially denied this accusation. The league joint meeting only made a resolution of mediation, but everyone knows this This so-called mediation is just a joke. The two major organizations are going to fight, and the alliance is just a decoration.
Regardless of whether Shi Gaofei needs to be arrested or killed, if the focus is really on the purification potion, then you become the key to the problem! Chen Xiao... Is it true that no one has contacted you quietly recently? "
"No." Chen Xiao shook his head: "Uncle Xu, what do you mean..."
"What I mean is, if Shi Gaofei comes to you, don't have too much contact with him. He is very dangerous now. Whether you protect him or cooperate with him, you will offend both organizations at once. This kind of Things absolutely cannot be done!”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he smiled: "I don't have a deep friendship with Mr. Shi Gaofei. Last time we just met briefly at the headquarters of the Service Society on Home Island. How could he come to me? "
Old Man Xu nodded: "I'm just reminding you that this matter is not simple. If the two major organizations fight and fight, and outsiders get involved, there will be no good results."
After a pause, he looked solemn: "In addition, there is one more thing... It is the shipwreck you encountered at sea when you went to Japan! Such a big international incident broke out, and the media went crazy a few days ago. It is said that the Victoria was hijacked by terrorists and sank the cruise ship. Then so many survivors at sea saw it... "
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, of course he knew what old man Xu meant.
That time at sea, the supernatural beings who attacked the Victoria had a violent fight on the ship. Many tourists saw a lot of things they shouldn't have seen. The strength he showed on the ship was nothing, but the most troublesome thing was that the Poseidon caused the disaster!
Thousands of tourists who fell into the sea, in the lifeboats, saw the two S-class powerhouses Poseidon and Peacock fighting each other upside down! With so many witnesses, it would be difficult for the officials to suppress the incident!
It is said that various rumors have appeared on the market. The existence of superpowers has always been a legend to most people in this world. Although they exist in movies and TV, they do not exist in real life. exists.
But this time, on the sea, thousands of pairs of eyes saw two S-class superpowers. It was like a fight between gods. The sky and the earth were eclipsed by the fight. The scene was like filming a movie. Afterwards, the officials wanted to suppress it. There is no way to suppress it, there are already dozens of versions of various rumors.
Fortunately, so far, the only information about the incredible incident at sea is the oral texts of some surviving witnesses, without any captured images or photos as evidence - after all, everyone was running for their lives at that time, and it was estimated that no one was still alive. Feel free to take random photos with your phone or camera.
"These matters are troublesome for the governments of various countries, as well as the alliance headquarters... Haha, the alliance headquarters has some relations with the officials of various countries around the world. After all, the existence of supernatural organizations has been concealed from the public. Also I'm just worried that it will cause panic. The spirit advocated by the alliance is 'people with special abilities have no borders'. Although it has always cooperated with the officials of some countries, it has tried its best to remain independent and is unwilling to let itself be controlled by any national force. . But this time the matter is too big. Alas, quelling the rumors among the public is secondary. The main problem is that so far, the alliance has sent special investigators, but they have not found out that the sea Which organization did this thing? I heard that there was not just one S-class strongman. This news is shocking enough. Organizations that can have S-class strongmen sitting in their posts are nothing more than service clubs and clubs. It's possible, but obviously neither of these two organizations would commit such a terrorist incident. So, if a new and powerful organization with supernatural powers appears in the world, it seems a little unreasonable... As for the alliance, There is no news yet.”
Old Man Xu said warmly: "Chen Xiao, I'm looking for you today for one more thing. I want you to tell me a complete story about what happened at sea. This is a task assigned to me by the alliance. After all, on the ship, Apart from those terrorists, you are the only one with superpowers. You have gone through the whole process. We need you to provide detailed information about the situation at that time. This matter is very important. You did such an outrageous thing. Come on, the Alliance will definitely pursue it. Maybe the information you provided can give us some clues."
Chen Xiao would not refuse such a request. He thought for a while and then completely recounted what happened on the Victoria in those days. It was just that after he talked about being stranded on a desert island, he hid the process of being captured by Poseidon, and also hid the underground ruins of prehistoric civilization.
While Chen Xiao was telling the story, Mr. Xu did not interrupt. Instead, he used a miniature recording device to record Chen Xiao's description in full.
By the time I finished speaking, it was already close to eleven o'clock. Old Man Xu looked at the time and said, "Okay, there are so many things going on. You... pay attention to safety in the recent period."
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and told him about Prince Chiba, who was entrusted by the club to protect the Japanese royal family. He still trusted and respected the old man of the Xu family, and said: "The club has promised for one year The concubine will not cause trouble for me. It's just... I still don't understand that those people who attacked the Victoria did not seem to be determined to kill the concubine. In fact, on the ship, if they were determined to kill someone, they only had to concentrate their efforts to attack. First class is enough, but they put so much effort into blowing up the sunken ship... I always can't figure it out. Maybe their goal is not to kill Chiba, but to deliberately cause such a big international incident?"
Old Man Xu frowned, but he had no clue, so he said: "Anyway, this group of people have seriously crossed the line. They were so bold and reckless that they caused such a horrific incident. Many people died in this shipwreck... The alliance has also made a decision to declare these people to be public enemies of the supernatural world. Once the results of this investigation are found, I am afraid that action will be taken immediately."
But Old Man Xu also added later: "It's just... there is an S-level strong man among this group of people, I'm afraid the matter will not be so easy to solve. After all, S-level strong men are like nuclear weapons. One has it Organizations of S-class experts theoretically have the ability to challenge large organizations such as service clubs or clubs. Generally speaking, other organizations are absolutely no match for them. If they are found out, they can have the ability The only ones who stand up for justice are service societies and clubs... Well, now the two families are fighting fiercely, and they are in a mess internally... It's worrying."
"I think this matter has something to do with the club." Chen Xiao said lightly: "After all, it was the club that entrusted me to protect the prince. And those people seemed to be doing it because Chiba was on the boat. thing."
Old Man Xu's face became even more helpless, he just waved his hands and sighed: "I understand... Chen Xiao, thank you for being so honest with me. Alas, as I said before, be careful yourself."
…
When Chen Xiao left Old Man Xu's study, Second Young Master Xu hadn't come back yet. Young Master Xu didn't know who he was sending Lu Xiaoxiao to. He probably ran directly to his own place after seeing off the person.
When Chen Xiao left the Xu family, Xiao Qing didn't come out to see him off. Instead, the old lady sent someone to bring Chen Xiao a message, asking him to come to the house for dinner often when he was free.
Chen Xiao was also quite afraid of and dumbfounded by this old lady. If nothing else, this old lady acted too unscrupulously. She had previously taken a photo of Second Young Master Xu and pretended to be a handsome boy to tease others on the Internet. Later, she even set her sights on Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao thought it was better to stay away from this nervous old lady.
After leaving Xu's house, Chen Xiao looked at the incident. It was already past eleven o'clock, so he took the bus back to Langwei Street to pick him up at the coffee shop.
But as soon as he arrived at Langwei Street, Chen Xiao saw the door of the coffee shop open from a distance, and the lights inside were on. When he walked to the door, he found that the shop was empty, not a single person in sight.
He was suspicious and walked in, only to realize that something was wrong.
Champagne and Yaya Cabbage were both gone, and even Fatty was nowhere to be found. Chen Xiao was confused. He searched upstairs and downstairs but couldn't find anyone, so he became a little anxious. Finally, I saw a line of handwriting carved on the countertop!
The top of the counter is made of hard fireproof stone, and each stroke of the writing is as sharp as the edge of a sword. It penetrates deeply for a full three points. The penholder is flying with flying phoenixes. At a glance, there is a sharp and murderous smell!
"I have a sword, and you have a sword. Please meet!"
What's the meaning
Chen Xiao's heart suddenly... Could it be that someone attacked this place? Kidnapped them all
This surprise is no small matter! The few people here are not ordinary weak girls. Several of them are superpowers. Although Baicai and Champagne are not of the combat type, Baicai's invisibility and escape always have some advantages, and Fatty is said to have been receiving some special training from Zhu Rong.
As for Yayao, her electric attack is not weak. Once launched, the electromagnetic explosion that covers the indiscriminate attack is also terrifying...
Why was he robbed so quietly? !
Chen Xiao was anxious and immediately ran to the wine shop and cigar shop on the same street, only to find that Zhu Rong and his wife were not there either. I ran to the car repair shop at the intersection again, only to find that the car repair shop was empty, and there was even dust on the ground. Where was the shadow of Lao Tian
Chen Xiao didn't know that Lao Tian was still traveling in Japan and drinking sake.
The uneasiness in Chen Xiao's heart became more and more intense - the enemy couldn't be so powerful that even the three old monsters on the bad street were killed? !
As soon as the idea came up, Chen Xiao immediately rejected it. With the abilities of Zhu Rong Gonggong Lao Tian and others, how could they be killed silently
Besides, it's very clean here, with no trace of any hands! If Zhu Rong and others were also attacked, then at least there would be traces of resistance and fierce fighting. I am afraid there is no strong person in this world who can silently kill the three old monsters in the unfinished street.
…
After walking a few kilometers further south, several hills and hills in the outer suburbs were already in sight. Zhu Rong and Gonggong looked increasingly impatient. Zhu Rong looked at the figure in front of him from behind and couldn't help shouting: "One-eyed man" Guy! What the hell are you doing! We’ve already gone this far, no one will bother us if we start here! Do you still want to go to the edge of the earth and start fighting again!”
She shouted twice, but this time the one-eyed guy in front stopped responding. Instead, he accelerated his speed, and his figure floated forward like a gust of wind.
Zhu Rong and Gonggong chased him two more steps, and Gonggong suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "No! He really wants to run away!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Ronghe suddenly woke up.
This one-eyed guy had interacted with the couple countless times in the past, and both parties knew the ins and outs of the situation. Zhu Rong Gonggong and his wife also knew what this one-eyed guy was capable of. Just now, the three of them were heading south one after another. The guy in front was moving faster and slower, but he was obviously just leading the way. At this moment, the speed suddenly increased, and the figure suddenly galloped forward. In just a few breaths, the distance between the two sides was lengthened several times!
Only then did the two of them feel that the other party's sudden acceleration was not to lead the way, but to really speed up and get rid of the couple! !
Didn't you say that you wanted to come out and find a quiet place to have a fight? Why did you run away
Although Zhu Rong has a hot temper, he is not a fool after all. When his husband reminded him, he suddenly stopped and said, "There is something fishy!"
Gonggong frowned and suddenly slapped his head: "Oh no, this bastard seems to have deliberately led us so far away..."
"Bad end street!" Zhu Rong also understood. The two looked at each other and cursed at the same time. Then they ignored the old enemy and turned around and ran back the way they came.
In the distance, the one-eyed man looked back and saw that Zhu Rong and Gonggong had turned and left. He had already stopped, sneered under the night, and said to himself: "I only realized it now, did you rush back? Already?" It’s too late… Huh!”
Zhu Rong and Gonggong rushed forward with all their strength. Both of them felt deeply uneasy at this moment. In about a cup of tea, they had already returned to the river they passed before.
Zhu Rong took a few steps back, jumped up, and flew across the river lightly. Gonggong still uses the old method, controlling the water power to control the buoyancy of the water, and running wildly on the river.
The two of them ran up and down the other side almost at the same time. After crossing the river, the two of them calmed down slightly. After all, after crossing the river, they were not far from the city even if they returned to K City. I was about to continue rushing to the unfinished street.
But suddenly, beside the river, a figure made a hissing sound and suddenly flashed in front of the couple like a ghost!
Under the moonlight, the water ripples with phosphorus and glows with white light.
A slim and alluring figure stood by the river, with long hair like curly seaweed fluttering in the night wind. The moonlight reflected on her face turned out to be an indescribable charm. Even Zhu Rong was a woman. , couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This woman stood in front of her. Her facial contours and skin color were clearly not yellow, but her alluring body was wrapped in a large Japanese kimono, but she wore it the wrong way. The belt and band were tied in the wrong way. It's a mess, and it looks like it was put on haphazardly.
However, it was a bit strange to suddenly see a beautiful Caucasian girl in a kimono blocking the road in the middle of the night.
Before Zhu Rong could speak, a charming smile appeared on the woman's face: "Ah, are you people with powers? Just in time, I just came to K City, and I don't know where to find someone who can ask questions." Where are the people on the road? When I saw you crossing the river, you must be a person with powers. Well, since you are in K City, I have something to ask you. Is there a person named Chen among the people with powers in K City? A handsome young man?"
Zhu Rong originally looked impatient, but suddenly he heard the word "Chen Xiao" coming from the other party's mouth, and his expression suddenly became confused. Gonggong frowned and looked at this woman warily. He didn't know why, but this woman was so casual. Just standing in front of him, Gonggong could faintly detect a dangerous aura from this woman!
"Why are you asking about Chen Xiao?" Zhu Rong snorted.
When Gonggong heard this, he sighed in his heart. After all, his wife was reckless and hadn't figured out the other party's identity yet. With such an answer, wouldn't it tell the other party clearly that we recognize Chen Xiao
Sure enough, when the woman on the other side heard this, her eyes suddenly shone with joy: "Ah! It seems that you guys recognize him. I just guessed that K City is not a big place. How many superpowers can there be? We all know each other. Well... where is Chen Xiao? Can you tell me? "
"Who are you?" Gonggong intentionally or unintentionally took a step forward and stopped in front of his wife. At the same time, he gently squeezed Zhu Rong's hand to signal her not to speak in a hurry.
"Me?" The woman smiled sweetly: "My name is Poseidon. Please tell me where Chen Xiao is. I came all the way from Japan to find him. This bastard left me alone in Japan. He ran away, huh, did you think I couldn't find him?"
"What are you looking for him for?" Zhu Rong was quite disgusted with the charming smell that was emanating from this woman's body everywhere. He couldn't help but rush to speak: "You have to look for him yourself. We have to be on our way and don’t have time to pay attention to you.”
After saying that, he pulled Gonggong and tried to run past her. But suddenly their eyes blurred, and Poseidon had stopped in front of the two of them again.
Poseidon's eyes were a bit colder: "I asked you angrily, are you unwilling to tell me? I don't have the patience right now, so you'd better tell me honestly!"
…
To the north of the urban area of K City, on the bank of the Yangtze River, next to a cluster of rocks on the riverside, there is a dock on the riverside. At this moment, Yaya and others are sitting helplessly in a house next to the dock.
There was no resistance at first, but later I couldn't resist even if I wanted to. The third uncle didn't know what method he used, but he clicked on a few people twice, and they turned into stiff puppets, unable to move anymore.
The only one who could still move and speak was Champagne, but Champagne could only try her best to comfort a few friends and persuade them not to resist, because she knew very well that her third uncle would not do anything to kill people. So soft-handed!
"That... third uncle..."
Champagne carefully walked outside the house, and his third uncle was standing by the dock, looking at the river with his hands behind his hands.
"What? Do you want to run away?" The third uncle looked back at Champagne coldly.
Champagne smiled bitterly, with fear on his face: "In front of you, I have no ability to escape. It's just..."
"Just what?" The third uncle's expression became slightly gentler. Champagne knew that this gentleness was the most rare thing that the third uncle would show, and it would only show up when facing himself or his mother.
"You...can you let my friend go? I'll just go back with you." Champagne begged.
The third uncle thought about it seriously and glanced at the champagne: "Okay, I won't embarrass them. It's just that I must compete with Mr. Tian. I didn't kidnap you just to teach him a lesson."
"But... he wasn't the one who kidnapped me, it was me who left home on my own!!" Champagne mustered up the courage: "It has nothing to do with them, it was me who was so bold!!"
"It's the same. Anyway, I want to compete with him." The third uncle said calmly: "Swords always come together. You don't understand this."
Champagne was desperate... She knew very well that the third uncle spoke in this understatement more and more, but it showed that he had already made up his mind, which would never be changed.
"How long should we... wait here?" Champagne seemed to want to change his mind.
"Wait until he comes." The third uncle said calmly: "I left a message, and the man named Tian saw it. If he cares about you juniors, and if he still has the dignity of a warrior, he will find me soon. "
"But..." Champagne suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Third, the words you wrote on the counter seem... it seems... you only mentioned a meeting, but you didn't write down the place of the meeting."
Third uncle: "..."
…
Looking at the empty unfinished street, with only the old and disrepaired street lamps making crackling sounds, Chen Xiao's face became extremely gloomy!
Oh shit! What about "please meet me!", you should leave an address! ! If you don't tell me the place, how can I find it? !
Chen Xiao was so angry that he couldn't help but punched a street lamp on the side of the road, which immediately dented the street lamp pole.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Chen Xiao took out his cell phone and looked at the number. It was Xiao Qing's call.
"Hello?" After the call was connected, Xiao Qing's voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little reserved and panicked, and she lowered her voice: "Chen Xiao, are you asleep... I want to talk to you..."
Chen Xiao was confused and sighed: "Xiao Qing... Something happened to me. Here in Luanwei Street..."
Two minutes later, after listening to Chen Xiao's story, Xiao Qing's originally nervous and uneasy tone suddenly disappeared, and she said very simply: "Wait for me, I'll come find you right away!"
