When the atmosphere between Xiao Lan and Luo fell into an indescribable stagnation, the considerate Father Michael took the initiative to break the deadlock.
Seeing him wave his hand, motioning for the sweet-spoken girls around him to disperse.
Then Father Michael refused their company, left the pool alone, and walked in the direction of the dressing room.
Xiao Lan kept paying attention to him, and when she saw this, she put down the ice cream in her hand: "He's gone."
Luo also put away his thoughts about this complicated human society.
The two pretended to have had enough time here, and followed Father Michael towards the dressing room.
They hung behind the priest all the way until the target swiped his card to enter the independent VIP dressing room.
Upon seeing this, Luo also took out his card and entered the vacant dressing room next to him.
In order to facilitate the movement, Xiao Lan had stuffed all his clothes into the storage space before, and now he changed his clothes as quickly as possible, and also put on [The Emperor's New Clothes 2.0 Version] by the way.
Luo had already changed the style of his clothes in a second, and changed back to his usual three-piece suit.
Then the two went out from the window, suppressing their presence to the lowest level, quietly observing the movement of the next door.
Father Michael is changing clothes.
Singing loudly while changing: "wu~wuwuwu~~wulala~~~~"
While singing and twisting his hips, the loose fat on his stomach was shaking with his dance steps.
Xiao Lan happened to match this picture: "..."
He couldn't help covering his eyes, and suddenly felt a little pain in his eyes. He might be blind.
I regretted why I came to peek at a greasy old man changing his clothes.
But soon, Xiao Lan saw an even more shocking picture.
I saw Father Michael didn't stop his movements after taking off his swimming trunks.
He then stretched his hand to the back of his neck, and forcefully tore the skin on his neck to both sides, directly replacing the entire human skin.
Complete, as if it were a piece of clothing.
Xiao Lan: "!"
He held back his impulse to blurt out a "fuck", and continued to watch.
Father Michael, who had taken off his human skin, was still in human form, but his body was covered with a layer of red scales, which looked like a muscular man without skin from a distance, but it did not affect the size of his belly.
There is also a long tongue sticking out of his mouth, the forked tip of the tongue looks like a lizard.
Father Michael was still singing, but his pronunciation became ambiguous due to the influence of this tongue.
While singing, he took his human skin and walked to the shower next to him, pouting his butt to wash, as if he were washing clothes.
Such a move gave the whole picture a sense of joy in addition to the weirdness.
Xiao Lan always felt that the task she received was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Obviously, this task is to deal with a priest related to the disappearance case for others, but if the priest is not a human being, those disappearance cases become complicated and confusing.
Does the entrusting party know that he is not actually a human being
He speculated that the high probability is unknown.
Although it is a bit offensive to say that, if the client knows, it should not delegate the task to this unreliable pheasant organization.
If the people in this organization deal with Father Michael in accordance with the preparations for dealing with humans, the result will probably be very exciting.
Xiao Lan couldn't help smiling a little bitterly. Others' main targets were all humans, so when he got here, he became a weird but wretched lizard man.
Even the legendary very simple main mission has so many twists and turns, the life of a non-chief is really difficult...
Father Michael washed the human skin and put it on again.
This time, he put on a formal dress, matched it with a bow tie very solemnly, and combed his thin hair back neatly. He looked like an elegant old gentleman, and he didn't see the insignificant old man before.
But what was inconsistent with the appearance was that Father Michael took out a can-like thing from the cupboard, but the contents were unusual when it was opened.
I saw a fist-sized heart lying in the can, and as the can opened, it exuded a strange smell.
Father Michael took a deep sniff of the can and slowly tasted the heart.
He couldn't help closing his eyes, shaking his head with intoxication, as if he was enjoying something delicious.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lan couldn't help but speculate about the disappearance cases related to him.
I'm afraid... some of these people have become more ill-fortuned, right...
When Father Michael had eaten up the heart, he smashed his mouth and threw the can into the trash can.
Then, he took out an invitation letter from a delicate envelope, opened it and looked at it, showing a satisfied smile.
Father Michael collected the invitation, tidied up his dress, opened the locker room door and walked out.
Seeing Father Michael leave completely, Xiao Lan asked in a low voice, "If you read it right, it seems to be an invitation to a dance party?"
Luo nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Lan said: "I want to get in and see, I always feel that I can find clues to the branch in him."
Luo supported his chin with one hand: "If Mr. wants to go, there is also an invitation letter like this in my room. It is indeed a dance party. Invitations are only issued to passengers in the premium VIP room. The time is tonight."
Xiao Lan: "Then we can just go in."
The treatment of living in a top-class room is really different, and there is no need to mix it up.
Luo raised the corner of his mouth: "However, you need to invite a partner to participate in the dance. It's too late to find it now."
He slightly leaned over to Xiao Lan and made an inviting gesture: "I wonder if Mr. is willing to be my dancing partner?"
Xiao Lan smiled and shook his hand: "Okay."
—
The two went back to Luo's room to get the invitation letter for the prom.
Luo changed her clothes to gowns, while Xiao Lan also changed the [Emperor's New Clothes 2.0 Version] to a gown under the guidance of the other party.
Xiao Lan and Luo wore similar dresses and went to the ballroom together.
This is still a masquerade. For guests who have not prepared a mask, the organizer will provide them with a mask to cover their eyebrows.
The decoration here is gorgeous, the huge crystal lamp above the head is shining brightly, the walls are hung with works of art from famous artists, and a band is playing live next to it.
Alongside there are fruits, snacks and drinks placed for the guests who participate.
Everyone who comes and goes is well dressed, their hairstyles are well-arranged, and the accessories on their bodies are carefully matched.
They all had decent smiles, and they talked softly and politely.
It seems that the people who can participate in this ball are probably both rich and noble, no matter what their nature is, at least on the surface they appear to be very cultivated.
The two put on masks and walked into the crowd, looking for Father Michael.
Although everyone wears masks, Father Michael's fluffy and soft belly is still very conspicuous.
Soon, Xiao Lan found him in the crowd.
Before the two of them approached, the lights suddenly became ambiguous, and the rhythm of the music changed from leisurely to brisk.
The host came to the stage to thank the guests for coming, and witty words to stir up the atmosphere, and the audience in the audience burst into bursts of laughter and applause from time to time.
Soon, the prom began.
The guests around the two began to dance.
Luo also stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Lan's waist, slightly force him to get closer to him, and then whispered in Xiao Lan's ear: "Sir, can you give me a little attention?"
There was a little danger and jealousy in his tone.
Only then did Xiao Lan reluctantly take away his sight from Father Michael's magical twisting dance.
He leaned close to Luo's ear: "Suddenly remembered, I... can't dance..."
Although I think of it a little late...
Luo's low laughter sounded in Xiao Lan's ears, making him feel a slight itching: "Don't worry, sir, I'm there."
In the following time, Xiao Lan followed Luo's guidance and danced with the other party.
Luo's guidance is very concise, but it allows people to comprehend in the shortest possible time. Coupled with the player's physical fitness, and the physical reactions trained in countless battles, Xiao Lan quickly grasped the main points of the dance steps.
The two danced very close together, changing their pace to the music.
They also drew close to each other in a low voice from time to time, and the picture looked ambiguous and lingering.
With the dance steps and the cover of the crowd, they slowly approached Father Michael's side.
Father Michael was dancing with a woman wearing black clothes that was one head taller than him. The two were talking in low voices, but their voices were too small and covered by music, so Xiao Lan couldn't hear her clearly.
Luo timely said in Xiao Lan's ear: "This woman is sending out an invitation to Father Michael, hoping that he can participate in a private auction."
Xiao Lan observed Father Michael's expression, he seemed to be a little lacking in interest, and did not directly express his position.
Luo went on to say: "She said that at the auction, Father Michael would have the opportunity to meet the people he wanted to see."
When Father Michael heard the news, he was obviously very excited and directly nodded in agreement.
Obviously, the "person he wanted to meet" attracted him so much, even more than the beauty in black who danced with him.
At this moment, Xiao Lan received the system prompt:
[Triggering a side mission: Father Michael's Secret]
[Task Description: Investigate what Father Michael wants to do (0/1)]
[Reminder: This task is one of the side tasks, and completion can trigger subsequent tasks. Side missions are not compulsory, you can give up at any time, give up without punishment]
Xiao Lan's eyes shone slightly, and there really is a branch line!
It seems that the things behind Father Michael are really not simple. If you choose to assassinate him directly from the beginning, you will miss this side mission.
Xiao Lan asked: "Did they mention the identity of that person?"
Luo: "No, they didn't even mention the name. They are very cautious. However, we can check it personally."
Xiao Lan was puzzled: "This is a private auction. Are you sure we can get in?"
Luo smiled: "You don't need to be mixed up. According to my current status as a rich man, if I ask the room's exclusive housekeeper if there is such a place for recreation, they should be happy to help recommend it."
Xiao Lan: "..."
He felt the brutal beating from capital again.
There is no such thing as "mixing in" in the world of local tyrants. They all enter with an invitation letter with a big fanfare.
