After having enough food and drink, Xu Le looked at the remaining food. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:
“Can these be packed?”
"Of course, waiter, get some take-out bags."
Xu Le smiled. It seemed that packing at the lighthouse was not something very unusual or embarrassing.
"I've already paid. Shunliu and I are going to go for a walk. You two can continue eating!"
Gu Beichen talked about him left and right, and anyone with a discerning eye could see his purpose.
Gu Beichen also understood that Wang Shu and Xu Le also had something to say.
After he left, Wang Shu looked at Xu Le again:
"Xu Le, please think carefully about what I told you."
"Brother Shu, even if a small person like me goes to help, what can I do?"
“A lighthouse is a tower, and we little people are the bricks that make up the tower’s foundation.
When there are not enough bricks, the tower will fall down."
Wang Shu did not convince Xu Le, but Xu Le also knew that Bai Jing's recruitment of him to join the Night Watch was definitely not as simple as asking him to cook the books.
He knew the meaning of value. There was no need for another Red Moon Warlock to teach a person who cooked accounts.
From the moment Xu Le joined the Night Watch, he knew what he would face in the future.
He refused now only because he had doubts about his own strength.
His original idea was to delay for a while so that he could thoroughly master the basic knowledge of warlocks and learn the basic techniques of warlocks.
By the way, after thoroughly mastering your own abilities, the Ancient Sound Soul Tree, and psychic summoning, you can slowly integrate into the Night Watch team.
But now it seems that Bai Jing will not give him that much time.
Moreover, the current situation of the lighthouse would not give Bai Jing that much time.
"Alas, once you are in the arena, you have no choice."
The two fell into silence again. Xu Le did not leave. He sat in his seat thinking about whether he should go to work directly in the future.
The black cat Ding Ke sensed his emotions, put down the happy water in his hand, and leaned on him.
Xu Le touched its head, and suddenly a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Brother Xu Le? Why are you here?"
"Wang Man!"
Xu Le still didn't know what to say to this childhood friend.
"This uniform? Has Brother Xu Le joined the Night's Watch?"
"Yes, I have joined the lighthouse watch."
Female human beings’ heart energy is improving, please pay attention.
After getting Xu Le's affirmative answer, Wang Man's emotions fluctuated violently.
She lowered her head and said slowly:
"After you joined the Night's Watch, did you stay in the Lighthouse and not return to Zion?"
Xu Le nodded:
"Well, I probably won't go back."
"We'll go back to Zion tomorrow."
"knew."
Xu Le answered like a passerby. Even if Wang Man was slow, she could hear the indifference and rejection in his tone.
The two of them have no chance after all...
"Brother Xu Le is really amazing. The Night's Watch is the same department as the Zion Law Enforcers. Only someone as amazing as Brother Xu Le can join smoothly."
As he spoke, Wang Man sniffed his nose, and then continued:
"Then I wish Brother Xu Le continued success. I'm leaving now."
Wang Man lowered her head and walked away quickly. Xu Le couldn't see her gaze, but from her back, Xu Le saw loss.
Xu Le shook his head. This outcome was almost inevitable.
He had no way of returning to Zion, and although those memories existed, they were not familiar to him.
If he stays in the lighthouse, he will be a clean person and he can adapt well to his identity here and develop slowly.
Back to Zion, everything has to start all over again.
"It's better to break up. Women will only affect the speed at which I become stronger."
Although he said so, Xu Le still felt a little disappointed for no reason. After all, Wang Man was a girl with good looks and a nice figure.
What he did just now was equivalent to completely rejecting such a girl.
However, Xu Le did not notice that while he was talking to Wang Man, Ding Ke was staring at them.
After packing up the untouched food, Wang Shu still did not give up:
"Let's talk on the way?"
"OK."
Just as they were about to leave, they stopped when they heard a noise not far away.
"Good, good drinking capacity!"
"It's a lot, Xiao Wang."
Wang Man was drinking with someone. Although the brewing technology in Dengta was not very good, the strong liquor here still had an alcohol content of more than 20 degrees.
After two glasses of wine, she was basically drunk.
The middle-aged fat man in the lead winked at another man next to him, and the man immediately raised his glass and came to Wang Man.
"Come on, Xiao Wang, I'll toast you again."
Wang Man already felt that she had drunk too much, but she was still angry, angry with herself, and it seemed that she was also angry with Xu Le, although Xu Le didn't care.
She picked up her glass and clinked it with the other person's.
"Okay, I'll do it then."
Xu Le frowned slightly, took a look and then turned and left, seemingly ignoring her.
Seeing that Xu Le was really leaving, Wang Man felt even more distressed. She poured herself another glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Le had already left Guangming Hotel and was standing in front of the hotel where the steam tricycle was parked.
Wang Shu followed out and walked behind Xu Le.
"You're the one who sang during the Kuroshio Tide, right? She's a nice girl. You guys even rode the Kuroshio Tide together before. What do you think?"
"Not familiar." Xu Le seemed a little arrogant at this time.
"You are such a double-faced guy. After all, she won an award for bravery. If you don't care, I will go."
Wang Shu turned around and went back to the hotel, leaving Xu Le standing alone in front of the tricycle. The driver asked tentatively:
"Boss, 2 cents to go?"
Xu Le didn't answer, just stood there in silence.
The driver was annoyed when he saw Xu Le ignored him, and muttered:
"Standing there like an idiot."
Xu Le still didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at Ding Ke:
"Do I look like one?"
Meow! Ding Ke nodded.
"Oh." Xu Le sighed, put the packed food on the mailbox at the entrance of the restaurant, turned around and walked in.
…
Back in the hotel lobby, Xu Le grabbed Wang Shu who was walking in.
"Wait a minute, Shu-ge, what are you going to do?"
"The duty of a night watchman is to protect the weak. That girl is in danger."
"So what do you think, Brother Shu, is protection? Beat up those ordinary people?"
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Shu frowned slightly, and Xu Le explained:
“The Night Watchmen beat up an ordinary person, and they are also members of the Zion Art Troupe, with diplomatic attributes.
It would be very inappropriate to do this, you would be in an awkward position and it would be very difficult for the captain to do his job. "
"Then what should we do?"
"Since it's all abuse of power, why not try another approach? Smooth justice is also justice. What do you think, Brother Shu?"
Looking at Xu Le, Wang Shu thought for a while and finally nodded.
The other side.
"Manager, should we pay attention to the people at that table?"
"What are you paying attention to? Those guys are from the Zion Art Troupe. They'll be going back tomorrow. They're not from the Lighthouse, so what relationship do they have with us
Even if something happens tomorrow, they will board the airship and return to Zion.
Just do your job and don't meddle in other people's business, especially those of people from outside the city."
The hotel manager said a lot of things and the waiter had to nod and agree under his pressure.
“Is that so?”
The manager was startled by Xu Le's sudden appearance. He was about to say a few swear words, but when he saw the uniform on Xu Le, his face immediately turned into a smile.
"Mr. Night Watchman, what's wrong? Didn't you eat well?"
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked towards Wang Man's table:
"The food here is not very tasty. It makes me feel bad and makes me want to hit someone."
The manager was stunned. What did this person mean? Was he here to cause trouble
He also looked towards Wang Man's table, seeing the two men who were pouring wine for Wang Man, and the already somewhat unconscious Wang Man.
The manager understood, but his expression was a little ugly:
"Mr. Night Watchman, there are so many people here. This is not a good idea."
Xu Le nodded seriously, as if he had listened to his manager's advice, but he continued:
“The fat guy is a junior director of the Zion Art Troupe, and the thin guy wants to be the deputy director.
What I hate most is this kind of glamorous person who harms a girl who knows nothing about anything.
They are eating at your place, can you help them out and give them a meal to vent my anger for me?"
Xu Le's expression was calm and polite.
I don’t know if this politeness gave the manager some kind of courage. He frowned slightly and even omitted the words “Mr. Night Watchman”:
"Brother, we are also open for business. You are making it difficult for me."
Xu Le nodded seriously again.
"It seems you don't want to."
He pulled a black fragment out of his pocket and stuffed it directly into the manager's coat pocket.
This piece of fragment is exactly what is left after the death of the Level 3 strange black cicada.
Xu Le straightened the manager's collar, and under the manager's blank gaze, he took out his night watchman ID. Then, holding the ID in one hand, he took out the black cicada fragment from the manager's pocket with the other hand:
"I am Night Watchman Xu Le, and I now suspect that you are hiding some Polluter-level weird fragments.
Now that the evidence is inconclusive, Guangming Hotel needs to be closed for three days to clean up any remaining ancient sound pollution.
And you yourself will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 9 years but not more than 15 years."
manager:
The manager was already confused. How could he be put in jail soon? He looked at Xu Le in shock:
"You, you are framing me!"
“You are wrong, I am investigating the pollution of Guyinduo, and you are condoning the crime and are an accomplice.
Hey, did you see that too?"
Xu Le looked at the waiter who was scolded by the manager.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are on the case."
Xu Le looked at the manager with a blank expression:
"Okay, now we have the witness. If we're efficient, you can go in tomorrow and maybe even catch the prison meal tomorrow night."
The manager looked at Xu Le, then at the group of people from the Zion Art Troupe, and his expression changed.
He suddenly clenched his fists and walked towards Wang Man's table.
