Sitting on a public bench on the street at midnight was a man, the target of the fish fry commission. He seemed to be waiting for something. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Logan walked over from the other side of the street and stood next to Lily. The two of them were temporarily hiding in a corner. Logan was holding a drink in his hand. It was coffee, a 'tonic' to keep Logan energetic. "Is there any news?"
Lily naturally had no need for such a thing. She stared at the man on the bench and said, "No."
Logan took a sip of his drink and looked at the man on the bench under the dim street light. Although it was just his back, some things could be drawn from his back alone, "He's not sleepy at all."
Lily glanced sideways at the drink in Logan's hand and smiled, naturally understanding that this was Logan making fun of his own mental state. After all, it's already midnight, and human energy is limited. "I didn't expect you to be a normal person, haha," he said, half apologizing for his whim. He dragged Logan, a human who was probably just here for a visit, to wander around Vega City in the middle of the night. The other half is to push 'You are a human being I want to know'.
This is a two-way topic. If you understand, understanding is mutual.
"Why, because I'm a criminal?" Logan pursed his lips.
"No~" Lily looked back at the man on the bench, "Because you want to become an alien. Work and rest are always very flexible for aliens, because we often have to give up our life plans and deal with some..." Smiling, "Unexpected circumstances."
"Like this kind of commission?"
"Such as this commission~" Lily confirmed, but didn't finish, "and some daily necessities. After all, humans can go to the supermarket to buy all kinds of daily necessities, but we can't. Human society does not provide the channels for the daily necessities we need. , we have to use our time outside of human social life to solve these problems."
Logan was quiet thoughtfully for a while, and only nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Lily for telling him this, and then said, "When I was in prison, every day, sleeping, eating, working, cleaning. Time is all Fixed. After going to Grande, it became a little more relaxed, especially after knowing that Zach was a vampire and became his person. But life is still, well, regular." Logan paused, "Although I met and saw Things are all strange. But inexplicably, my daily life as a human being has not been affected at all." He paused again, "In fact, all the 'people' in Grande have not been affected in their daily life. "
It was Lily's turn to look thoughtful. But before she could respond to Logan's words, the man on the bench came to the person he was waiting for.
Lily and Logan reconfirmed their concealment and looked in the direction of the bench together.
There were two men sitting on the bench now. They obviously knew each other and were chatting quickly about something.
"I don't have super hearing." Lily glanced at Logan, "Now I know why the client needs a skinchanger."
"Then what do we do?"
Lily tilted her head and rolled her eyes, obviously planning something.
"Don't be scared silly." Lily only gave this reminder, took the drink cup in Logan's hand, emptied it, took off her left ear, put it in, and then handed it back to Logan.
The cup returned to his hand, Logan blinked, lowered his head and walked out of the corner.
The moment the people talking in low voices on the bench noticed the presence of passers-by, they immediately stopped the church and looked at Logan who was gradually approaching under the street lamp.
Logan walked steadily and looked at the two people looking at him on the bench, "What are you looking at!"
The two of them looked away and waited quietly for Logan to pass by.
Logan did indeed walk by, but when he passed the trash can next to the bench, he looked back at the two men, which was very consistent with the situation of "meeting two men secretly talking on the road at midnight" and "perverted!"
The cup in Logan's hand was thrown towards the trash can with a disgusted attitude. It didn't go in and fell out of the bucket.
Then there was a big detour, and Logan couldn't go back the way he came, right
Returning to Lily again, Logan looked over to the bench first, "What did they say?"
Lily didn't reply.
Logan did not continue to ask and looked over at the bench.
Time passed while waiting. Whenever Logan felt sleepy, he would glance at the empty left side of Lily's head. But of course, this movement was very small to avoid being noticed by Lily who was listening intently to the conversation over there.
When Logan couldn't remember how many times he looked at Lily, the conversation between the two men on the bench stopped. The two men stood up at the same time and used a very strange etiquette to say goodbye under the dim light.
The two fists are close to each other, but it is not an ordinary fist bump. From a distance, you can feel that the two fists are exerting force on each other, as if they are aiming to hurt each other. Then the two fists opened, and the two hands held each other, but, uh, it was not an ordinary handshake. You could feel that the two hands that had just pushed toward each other were pulling apart again. Likewise, this pulling seemed to be the same. The purpose is to hurt the other person. Finally, the two men separated, and both unconsciously took a step back under the force.
Then the two men each chose a direction and separated.
Logan followed Lily's retreating and concealing movements.
Waiting again, but this time very quickly, just waiting for the man leaving in this direction to leave.
Logan's first move was because their target had left. Logan, who was still on commission, thought they should continue to follow.
However, Logan's action was not to pursue the entrusted target, but to return to the bench they had been staring at for a long, long time. Logan picked up the drink cup that he had thrown away and brought it back to Lily. He hesitated a little, but decisively took out the ear in the cup. He glanced at Lily's face, which still seemed to be thinking about something, and she took it upon herself to hold it... Ears, put them back...
"Thank you~" The thought on Lily's face disappeared, "Move back a little." She was actually instructing Logan to put back his ears.
Logan was very under control. He moved the ears back in his hand and said, "What did you hear?" Just like Logan just walked out with the drink cup with the ears in it, this is the correct way to do it in a strange situation: Focus on the purpose of the trip, delegate.
"What our client was worried about has come true~" Lily said in a cheerful tone, "His company partner is embezzling the company's funds~"
Logan was just trying to understand the reason for Lily's happiness at this moment. "So have we completed this commission? Do we need to collect evidence of misappropriation by his partner?"
"No need~" Lily smiled, "What the client wants is the facts. Once the facts are obtained, the rest is the internal affairs of the client's own company, which is not something that a one-time 'labor force' like us should get involved in~"
"Okay." Disappointed, a little bit, just smooth, "Did you hear what the partner did to embezzle the company's funds?"
"I heard it~" This is the reason for Lily's joy. "Funding a cult called 'Apocalypse'~"
"Evil cult-?" Saying this word in a city where a vampire is the mayor, hehehe.
"Well, the evil cult-~ is now using the murder of intermarriage families between aliens and humans to achieve its mission. The evil cult-~" said happily, "I just found the real enemy who took my daughter away from me~"
