Chen Xiao felt that his brain was a little insufficient...
He stumbled involuntarily, holding on to the wall, and found a sofa at the door. He sat down on it, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down.
I... I am a superpower. Am I really a superpower
Am I really... not a normal person? !
"So, just admit it." Zhu Rong smiled at Chen Xiao and consoled him: "Little guy, you are already one of our kind. You don't have to admit it even if you don't want to. With such a fate, you should be with the rest of us. .Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to help each other and survive in this world together?”
After a pause, she winked at Chen Xiao: "You just said you don't like the service agency. It doesn't matter. We didn't ask you to do anything too complicated. You just appointed Dangdang as an agent to help us manage the accounts. Accept Entrustment is the job of a housekeeper. As for executing the entrustment, naturally we have old arms and legs to fight life and death. You just need to sit in the store and receive guests. Such a simple job is not Is it difficult?"
Lao Tian finally spoke. He sighed, walked to Chen Xiao, and slowly sat opposite him. Lao Tian's voice was very gentle: "Chen Xiao, I know how you feel now. Back then, I was just like you. , I discovered that I am different from most people in this world. In the era I lived in, you should be able to guess that I was regarded as a monster! But here, this is how each of us came to be. Slowly , you will feel the benefits of this place, as long as you don’t treat us as outsiders, we will treat you as family."
"I, my mind is a little confused." Chen Xiao raised his head and glanced at Uncle Tian blankly: "My work..."
"I promise, as long as you don't want to, no one will force you to go out. You will receive guests here every Thursday night. Accept the commission order, and then you will decide whether to accept the task or not, and we will do the rest. .Zhu Rong is right, we are going to fight life and death, you just need to be responsible and a good steward."
"… let me see."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he stood up silently and walked to the door. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally opened the door and left.
"Stubborn boy." Zhu Rong curled his lips.
"Okay, this is how newcomers come." Lao Tian frowned and glanced at Zhu Rong: "Back then, when you were his age and found out that you were a flame woman, I'm afraid the panic in your heart was more serious than his. "
Zhu Rong's face changed, and he seemed a little annoyed, but then his anger turned into a trace of sadness, and he shook his head: "Old Tian, you are such a bastard! You made me angry, and you burned down your car repair shop!"
After saying that, he snorted, strode out of the store, walked to the door, turned around and yelled at his husband: "Damn it! What are you sitting here waiting for! Waiting for someone to treat you to dinner!"
The co-worker sighed and followed out timidly.
Lao Tian stood in the coffee shop, picked up the tea cup and drank the remaining tea in one gulp. He took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking two puffs, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Oh, I haven't quit smoking." Well...hehe, it’s really hard to break the habit you’ve formed.”
After throwing away the cigarette butt, Lao Tian turned off the light, walked out of the coffee shop, and chased Chen Xiao in the direction he left.
…
Above the night sky, a dark cloud came quietly at some point, blocking the originally bright starry sky and moonlight.
Chen Xiao walked on this secluded street, his mind a little confused, and he didn't know the direction, so he just walked casually.
After walking for a long time, he suddenly turned around and felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was being followed by someone. But when he looked back, the path behind him was empty and there was not a single person.
"Is it an illusion?" Chen Xiao shook his head: "It seems that something is really wrong with me."
Meow…
A small shadow jumped lightly from the wall on the side and jumped in the middle of the path.
This is a small black cat, looking at him with its green cat eyes.
"It's not normal, isn't it bad?"
Following a familiar voice that made Chen Xiao's heart beat, a black cat in front of him suddenly took two steps forward. His body suddenly grew larger, and in just the blink of an eye, it transformed into a human form!
In the quiet night, her eyes were as calm as water. Under the night, she stood in front of Chen Xiao, with a faint smile on her lips, and her shining eyes made Chen Xiao see. Absence.
"Phoenix, Phoenix?"
The other party smiled and blinked: "You still remember my name."
…How could I forget.
This sentence flashed through Chen Xiao's mind and he thought for a moment: "Just now, were you following me?"
"To be precise, I have been near that street since you opened tonight." Phoenix tilted his head. This posture looked very cute, but he deliberately smiled and said: "Tonight is an important day for accepting commissions. . I have nothing to do anyway, so I came over to take a look."
"You know everything?" Chen Xiaocai said and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Of course you know everything. I'm just a newcomer in this circle, you... must know more than me."
But Fenghuang walked up gently and came within two steps of Chen Xiao. When she was up close, her eyes were even more breathtakingly beautiful!
"You seem to have something on your mind." Fenghuang actually reached out and gently took Chen Xiao's hand: "Come, I will take you to a place."
Chen Xiao only felt that there was something soft and delicate in his palm. The touch of his skin made him tremble suddenly, and then he panicked again. This extremely beautiful girl had eyes as gentle as water, making Chen Xiao follow her forward involuntarily...
But then, Chen Xiao exclaimed!
"ah!!!!"
…
Their bodies were floating in the air, and they looked at the streets, street lights, and houses under their feet, gradually getting smaller. Chen Xiao couldn't help but scream as his body flew higher and higher in the sky.
"Shh." Fenghuang held Chen Xiao's hand with one hand and made a small finger gesture with the other. She said with a smile on her face: "Don't scream, otherwise it will be troublesome if people see you."
Chen Xiao's heart was beating wildly!
Fly... fly! It really flew! ! !
Phoenix held Chen Xiao's hand, and Chen Xiao felt as if his body had become as light as a feather! Under the tug of the phoenix, the two of them flew farther and farther... Looking down from the sky, the streets and buildings quickly flew back.
Facing the wind, the evening breeze blew on his face and body, making Chen Xiao, who was originally depressed, suddenly feel better. Although he was a little panicked just after flying into the sky, Chen Xiao quickly calmed down under Phoenix's gentle gaze.
He couldn't help but look at Fenghuang carefully - the evening breeze gently raised her hair, and the hair seemed to brush his cheek. He leaned next to her, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his own body. In the nose.
She pulled herself and danced in the sky like a fairy...
Yes... it's flying...
Flying to where
I hope...it never stops.
At this moment, young Chen Xiao did not realize that, like all the boys of his age in the world, the figure of this fairy-like girl beside him had been engraved in his heart forever!
…
All the way to the west, after a while, Chen Xiao thought in his mind that he had probably flown to the western suburbs of K city. The surrounding gradually opened up, and there were no tall buildings anymore, and finally, Phoenix slowly landed with Chen Xiao...
Underfoot, it seemed to be a large manor, but the architecture was a little weird. Next to a gray building, a tower stood tall. The tower was about thirty meters high, round, and had two huge lamp holders on the top - just like a lighthouse on the seaside.
Fenghuang looked back at Chen Xiao and smiled, lowering his voice: "Don't talk too loudly."
The two finally landed on the top terrace of the tower. Chen Xiao stepped on a hard stone slab and felt relieved. But Phoenix let go of his hand, causing a hint of disappointment to flow through his heart.
Phoenix just sat on the ground casually, with a pair of calves resting just outside the edge of the top of the tower, swaying gently with the wind.
"Sit down, why are you standing?" Fenghuang smiled softly, with a hint of smile in his eyes. Chen Xiao felt that her face was a little hot. Fortunately, it was so dark that she couldn't see it.
Sitting next to Fenghuang, Chen Xiao asked somewhat sarcastically: "Where is this place?"
Fenghuang covered his mouth and smiled, with a mischievous tone: "You can see for yourself."
See for yourself
Chen Xiao looked down and saw that the gray building next to it was only about three stories high, but it was large enough and there was a large playground next to it.
Uh, is it a school
only…
There are walls around it!
That wall seems to be tall and thick! And... every once in a while, there seems to be a slightly shorter tower...
What's even more outrageous is that there is still hanging high on the wall...
Yi? Is it barbed wire? ? !
High walls, surveillance towers, barbed wire fences, large playgrounds, low buildings...
Could it be...
Chen Xiao looked a little strange.
"That's right, this is a prison, the prison in K City." Phoenix chuckled.
Chen Xiao was so frightened that he almost fell from the top!
prison? ? !
He swallowed hard and stared at Phoenix in shock.
"Alas..." Phoenix sighed and said softly: "I don't like so many tall buildings in the city. It's too depressing. Unfortunately, there are no mountains in the surrounding area. Only here, the surrounding area is very empty, and This tower is very high and you can see far away. Don’t you think the view is very broad?”
Chen Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Because it is high and has a good view, I went to the top of the prison's watchtower in the middle of the night to see the scenery...
Sure enough... what a girl with personality!
"Well, it's true that you have a wide field of vision, but..." Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Then there's no 'but'." Fenghuang smiled softly, but stared into Chen Xiao's eyes: "Why do people have to think about so many problems when they live in this world? Isn't it better to be relaxed than anything else? ?”
After a pause, there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in her eyes: "For example, you, Chen Xiao, you are in a bad mood tonight. It's because you always think a lot when things happen. People who think too much will You’ll get tired easily.”
Perhaps the truth of this statement is very simple, but it happened that such a sentence came from the mouth of a girl like Fenghuang, but Chen Xiao immediately listened to it.
He was lost in thought...
…
A hundred meters away, in a prison cell, a fat man looked frustrated, leaning on the bars on the window sill with his hands, looking out boredly.
Suddenly, his fat face suddenly twisted, staring at the top of the tower in the distance...
"Wow!! Someone is coming!! Someone is coming!!!"
The fat man ran to the cell door and slapped the iron door hard.
After a moment, an impatient voice came from outside: "What are you doing!"
"Officer! There are gods outside!! There are gods on the tower!!!"
"..." The policeman outside was angry: "You're sick! You won't sleep in the middle of the night! If you don't behave honestly, I'll deal with you!"
After saying that, the footsteps faded away.
"What I said is true, there are gods!!!" The fat man continued to shout with a sad face: "Hey!! You can't treat me like this! Prisoners also have human rights!!"
