When Xu Shenxing came down from upstairs, he found that there was an extra person on the sofa in the living room.
"Yo~ I'm sorry, I'm not welcome with your breakfast."
Xiao Zhengyi was clumsily eating toast with salad and ham slices with his unbandaged left hand. When he saw Xu Shenxing coming from the corridor, he didn't forget to shake the sandwich with tooth marks in his hand, and then He took a big bite with a smug expression on his face.
"I've redone it for you, please wait a moment." Sakurakoji Asahi bowed slightly to Xu Shenxing and said.
"It doesn't matter to me, but you'd better move quickly." Xu Shenxing sighed, and didn't want to argue with Xiao Zhengyi: "Because Jasmine is already grinding her teeth."
Sakurakoji Asahi ran back to the kitchen with a dry smile "Ahaha".
"Um, let me confirm."
After Xiao Zhengyi swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked vigilantly at the little girl on Xu Shenxing's back who seemed to be exuding some black aura: "That girl shouldn't know how to eat people, right?"
"What a coincidence, I don't know if humans are in Jasmine's recipe yet, why don't you try it out while you have time today?" Xu Shenxing glanced at Xiao Zhengyi.
"Please don't."
So the latter was immediately discouraged.
"I thought you could be a little tougher, can't you be a little bit tougher as a public servant?"
"Can my backbone allow my bones to last a second longer under that girl's teeth?"
"no."
"Then that's it." Xiao Zhengyi shrugged, looking like "I knew it".
He wasn't really worried that Jasmine would eat people. After all, according to Xu Shenxing's moral obsession, cannibalism has already stepped on this guy's bottom line. As long as Jasmine is still by Lao Xu's side, there is no need to worry about this strange girl. Human beings, the reason why they cooperate with Xu Shenxing is more to ease the atmosphere before talking about business.
This can be regarded as a little tacit understanding between the two.
"Be good, Jasmine, I have some biscuits here, do you want some?"
"Yes, say it!"
Perhaps because she was vaguely aware of this, Qin Xingyan used a few sandwich biscuits to make Jasmine jump off from Xu Shenxing's back, ran to the table to eat the biscuits and obediently waited for breakfast.
"So what's the point of coming here so early today?"
Since today is the weekend, Xiao Qiuyue seems to have slept in for a long time (or maybe she was caught by Le Zhengjing who went to the wrong room after waking up at night). She heard what she shouldn't have heard, so Xu Shenxing just found a more comfortable position and sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Zhengyi, waiting for the other party to continue talking.
"I conducted a little investigation with the bureau chief and the group you caught yesterday." When it came to business, Xiao Zhengyi's expression became serious.
"There must be some kind of mutation in those guys' bodies." Xu Shenxing asked casually, recalling what happened yesterday.
"Well, although judging from the biological mechanism of muscles, they are still only at the level of ordinary people, but in actual experiments, it can be found that the muscle fibers of those guys are more than 20 times tougher than ordinary people, and their strength is far greater. Beyond the reach of normal people... Seriously, they're far better off lifting weights than robbing banks..."
"Because many people will show blind self-confidence after gaining sudden power. It is normal to do unwise actions." Xu Shenxing replied naturally.
"..."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Shenxing asked with a frown when Xiao Zhengyi looked at him as if he was meeting him for the first time.
"No, how should I put it... I'm not used to hearing you say such serious remarks for a while."
"So I'm so unreliable in your consciousness?"
"Well, let's get on with the business," Xiao Zhengyi turned his face away to avoid Xu Shenxing's piercing (and really painful) gaze, and said, "After the second eldest sister Xinsu used the truth bomb on her head..."
"Wait for me." Xu Shenxing stretched out his hand to stop the other party's words: "I always feel that the words "truth" and "bomb" are a bit incompatible?"
"is that so?"
"Usually it's Veritaserum (Physics)!"
"I don't think you're doing any better than this..."
Xiao Zhengyi rubbed his temples as if his head was hurting, and then continued: "In short, after using the torture bomb, we got a little strange information."
Take Xu Shenxing'Did the name of the bomb change? Putting aside the complaints, Xiao Zhengyi continued to say seriously: "They gained power from the 'dream', specifically, they heard a voice in the dream, and that voice would make them prepare some things as sacrifices. If the sacrifice is successful, they will be able to gain strength."
"What is this? A devil's contract?"
Xu Shenxing asked in surprise.
"It's okay if it's really the devil's contract in the legends of those places in Europa. After all, it can be solved according to the script. But the problem is that the things that that voice wants are very... strange."
The expression on Xiao Zhengyi's face was a bit subtle: "The first time was 'a lot of black bread or something edible', the second time was 'a lot of fresh water and charcoal', the third time was women's clothing—well, and then By the way, we solved the theft of women's underwear in the Jindu Mansion some time ago... "
"This devil's taste is a bit strange..."
"I don't know, but according to the identification of the experts invited by the game, those guys' bodies should have been endowed with some kind of enhanced magic, and it's not a very advanced technique, but it feels a bit rough." Xiao Zhengyi sighed : "It's not so much a deal with the devil, I always feel that these guys are more like being tricked by magic apprentices from some classical factions."
"Is there a clue?"
"One thing." Xiao Zhengyi took out a brass pocket watch from his pocket and put it in front of Xu Shenxing: "That group was originally just a group of construction workers, and the only thing they had in common was that they were all present when they picked it up on the construction site. Those The workers who were not present did not experience strange dreams."
"This thing..." Xu Shenxing frowned: "I always feel that the subtle one looks familiar?"
"Of course you will find it familiar. This thing is yours."
"When you put it that way..."
After being told by Xiao Zhengyi, Xu Shenxing suddenly remembered that when he just returned to this world, it seemed that he was short of money, so he found a personal item and pawned it off... And at that time, he sold it because it was obviously a worthless thing. He paid a very high price, and he was still happy for a long time.
Just when Xu Shenxing was about to say something, his spirit ghost floated over with a plate of fried rice.
"Oh, is my breakfast ready?"
Xu Shenxing, who has always believed in the greatness of eating, took a bite of the fried rice, and then his eyes went dark, and he could only vaguely hear someone shouting not far away, "Wait, Mr. Linggui, when are you going to eat?" The instant seafood fried rice you made?"
At the last moment before losing consciousness, Lao Xu silently cursed in his heart.
Damn, how beautiful is this day...
