"I think there must be some misunderstanding between us..."
"Actually, I'm not that stingy. Let alone one point, even if it's one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand, what does it mean?"
"What I actually care about is that you always play hide and seek with me. I always feel that you have many secrets, but you hide them from me. For example, you can obviously speak, but you always pretend that you can't tell. As time goes by, I feel a little bit inside.
Dissatisfied... I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch... This may not be an appropriate description, but I do feel a little hurt because you always hide it from me..."
"Of course, this is not the reason. I must apologize to you first..."
"Thinking about it, we may have to get along for a long time in the future. Look, how about we get along?"
"..."
"..."
In the night breeze, Xiao Xiao's tone seemed very sincere and gentle, and he patiently explained to the air.
He felt that he really told the truth and his attitude was good enough.
But the record player girl still made no movement, she was silent, and the information no longer popped up in her mind.
He explained for a long time, and even looked up helplessly at the white gauze window on the second floor. He could vaguely see a slender shadow standing behind the curtain, so he tried hard to squeeze out a friendly smile on his face.
Smile and discover...
..."Pa", the window closed.
"??"
Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it anymore. It looked like the record player lady was really angry?
The kind that can't be coaxed?
Damn...
I shouldn't be so powerful in PUA, I'm messing around.
Now I still haven't figured out what her ability to make wishes will look like after she is promoted...
Can you really realize your wishes directly?
Are all wishes possible?
So what would happen if he directly made a wish for her to rescue Yang Jia?
Unfortunately, now his heart is full of curiosity, but he can't get a response or detailed explanation from the other party. He even said that he can try it a few times now, but unfortunately, the wishing unit price of this wishing record player is too high... Xiao Xiao
This is the first time that I have seen that the use of special items actually requires extra points. Is it because the record player lady is deliberately being petty?
In any case, the cost of giving it a try with these 10,000 points is a bit high.
I can't just throw away 10,000 points just to verify the authenticity of her effect, right?
Forget it, let’s try to coax first.
Now, he has a vague feeling that this record player lady must not be simple. Whether it is the relationship between the mysterious road guide and her, or the specificity of her abilities, it means that she has control.
Some core secrets.
But she refused to say it.
This is really...
Xiao Xiao had something to say: "The Riddler deserves to die!"
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"
Just when Xiao Xiao was standing under the window sill on the second floor, thinking about how to use some sweet words... and some sincere words to persuade the record player lady to change her ways, a sudden voice interrupted him. Xiao Xiao turned around in shock,
I saw my mother standing inside the iron gate, looking at me standing in a daze under the neighbor's window sill with a strange expression and looking at me worriedly.
"Uh...it's okay."
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed, turned around quickly, walked towards home, and tried his best to explain: "I just smoked a cigarette outside."
Mom let him in, looked at the curtains on the second floor opposite, and didn't say anything.
Just worried: "Have you learned how to smoke?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded and said: "My high school classmate taught me, the same one who came to visit me with milk before."
"I remember……"
Xiao's mother accompanied Xiao Xiao back to the house and said, "This little girl is fair and has a good temperament, but she actually knows how to smoke?"
"She's given up."
Xiao Xiao said: "I smoked before, maybe because their hospital was under great pressure, right?"
"So how is your relationship with her now?"
Xiao Ma and Xiao Xiao returned to the house and sat on the sofa. Xiao Ma looked a little worried, but the question she asked made Xiao Xiao feel a little embarrassed. How to answer this? Unexpectedly, Xiao Ma
Seeing his silence, I became even more worried. As if he was hesitant to speak, he held Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "I'm not young anymore. We should be in a relationship with that classmate of yours."
Xiao Xiao felt even more embarrassed now and didn't know how to explain it to his mother.
This is probably the only thing in her world now, right?
But what was a bit surprising was what her mother said next. She urged Xiao Xiao to hurry up and confirm the relationship with Yang Jia. She paused and suddenly said: "Isn't it normal for a boy to want to find a girlfriend when he gets older?
Well, but mom has to advise you..."
As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at the neighbor's window outside the yard and lowered her voice:
"We can't mess with that girl..."
"..."
"Um?"
Xiao Xiao was suddenly a little surprised. He looked at his mother in surprise. He confirmed again that her mother was indeed referring to the woman's window on the second floor with a white curtain. His expression suddenly became even more surprised, and there was even excitement and strong curiosity.
gave birth to:
"You know her?"
"..."
I really knew nothing about that neighbor, but felt that she was full of mystery.
Even if he had the ability of an observer, he would not dare to pry into the secrets in that room easily. The last time he snooped, he accidentally saw some things that he shouldn't have seen, which made both of them very embarrassed. Later, although Xiao Xiao
He still has the ability to cast his gaze into that room, but the intuition of the discerner always makes him feel vaguely that it is better not to look.
Now I realize that my mother actually knows the people in that room?
"Of course I know the neighbors..."
Facing Xiao Xiao's surprised look, her mother was even more surprised. She looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "I often encounter this when I'm shopping for groceries!"
"What does she look like?"
Xiao Xiao immediately asked, full of curiosity and even impatient.
Mom suddenly became even more worried: "She is quite beautiful...but she is not young...although it is true that she can't tell on her face."
"It would be better for you to find that classmate of yours."
"Don't feel inferior just because someone else is rich and has a good job. Our house is worth a lot of money..."
"..."
"It's not what you think..."
Facing his mother's misunderstanding, Xiao Xiao didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he could only try to clarify his thinking:
"I'm just curious. I've been a neighbor for so long, but I've never seen it before..."
"..."
"I've never seen you squatting under someone's wall?"
The mother looked at Xiao Xiao, as if she had lost the trust between mother and son, but she didn’t say much about it, leaving some face for Xiao Xiao, and said: “Besides, haven’t you seen each other before? I remember the last time I bought groceries.
, it was at the Alley Kou Butcher Shop, she lined up in front of me, and told me that you are colleagues now and have a very good relationship, and she also said that you often sing together..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao was a little confused for a moment.
A strange picture appeared in my mind. In my life, there was a woman who liked to wear a white skirt. She appeared in various places in my life. She was very familiar with me and even my mother. But
But I have never seen her. In this city, as an observer, I have been being observed by her in the dark, silently...
who is she?
The incarnation of Miss Record Player?
Or does it have some other mysterious origin?
Xiao Xiao's mind was full of curiosity, but facing his mother's worried eyes, he also understood that he could not let her worry any more, so he could only reluctantly smile with his face and explain: "Maybe it's a joke, but don't worry
, she and I..."
"...Actually, there is no special relationship."
"..."
"Then you should quickly confirm your relationship with that high school classmate..."
Mother Xiao warned her worriedly before going back to her room to sleep.
Today's young people often ask old aunts for help. Xiao's mother also knows that her son is good-looking, but she is really worried that he will accidentally go astray. She has seen that woman herself, although she is indeed beautiful and has a temperament.
It's good, but at first glance, she doesn't look like a little girl. She usually calls herself "eldest sister" when she meets her. You can't ignore it and call yourself "mom" next time, right?
Especially my own Xiao Xiao, who is good-looking and didn’t go out much before. He was too simple.
It's not okay if you don't know how to protect yourself.
"Perhaps when she is willing to see me, many things will become clear..."
After Xiao Xiao talked with his mother, he felt a strong desire to find out.
But he didn't dare.
Now the wishing record player girl seems to have great abilities, so I can't offend her further!
He could only endure it for the time being. After returning to the bedroom and turning on the computer, he found that he had received several new emails in his mailbox. He was slightly relieved. It seemed that both the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization were willing to give him this chance.
Face-saving.
First, I opened the information sent by the Dante organization. It was forwarded by Lin Bo and attached a piece of information:
Knowing that something happened to Yang Jia, the Dante Organization took it very seriously and was already conveying the matter to Yang Jia's mentor through some secret channels. Now that he is not in this world, once he knows this information, no one will know about this veteran of the Dante Organization.
Be mentally prepared for what people will do. President Xiao, Yang Jia and others from this school are all terribly stubborn and unreasonable.
Unlike me, I have flexible principles...
Xiao Xiao ignored his words, although Yang Jia's status as a mentor in the Dante organization should be of no small importance.
But listening to this meaning, you know that it may not be possible to get there in a short time.
But there was not much preparation time for Yang Jia's matter, and she could not place her hopes on him.
He directly pulled out the following information to read:
[Nature: mysterious source]
[Codename: Santu River Gatekeeper]
[Level: SS level]
[Note: Among the mysterious sources that have been observed and recorded by the Dante organization, "Mr. Du", codenamed Santu River Gatekeeper, belongs to the mid- to high-level mysterious sources. Such mysterious sources cannot be located and are not yet known.
Its purpose, but it can be regarded as one of the more active life forms among the mysterious sources that have been observed so far, ranking alongside mysterious sources such as war, hell, and loss]
[Currently, a total of forty-one people have been found to be branded, all of whom have the strength of lords and even taboo levels]
[Note 2: The mysterious command information received by the branded person is attached below...]
【……】
Xiao Xiao slowly scanned the information and then vaguely understood the contents of the information.
Mysterious sources are also divided into wandering types or fixed types.
The fixed type is actually just like Black Gate City. It is here and can be found at any time. However, there are also some wandering types that do not have a specific city. Their existence can only be determined through its branders. This type
Its mysterious source cannot be located or even observed, but its goals and strength level can be determined through the instructions it gives to the branded ones.
The Dante Organization has recorded several mysterious instructions that they, the Branded Ones, carry out.
Or go to a certain city to eliminate certain types of aberrant creatures, or enter the foggy sea to kill a certain pirate.
There is less data and not much can be analyzed.
But what is certain is that this "Mr. Watari" wants to kill him and will become a new source of information for the Dante organization.
"There are forty-one of his recorded brand names..."
Xiao Xiao observed this problem and couldn't help but feel a little shuddering in his heart: "Isn't the actual number even greater?"
If each of these imprinters were as powerful as Yang Jia, wouldn't it be too exaggerated?
Forty-one Yang Jia, the whole world can go sideways, right?
Of course, just when Xiao Xiao felt a little worried, he saw the explanation attached to the information by Dante's organization: "Each of the branded people has strength that far exceeds that of ordinary strangers. However, similar branded people will try their best to
Avoid meeting and working with each other. Once two branded people meet, their power will be transferred or evenly distributed, and there will be a strange phenomenon of fluctuations in each other."
This made Xiao Xiao slightly relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about facing forty-one Yang Jia directly.
Judging from this phenomenon, the imprinted person actually has the characteristics of being like a sky full of stars when seeds are scattered, and like a XX when gathered together.
Probably the mysterious source gave them the same power, so in normal times, they all have the ability to control this power. But once they meet together, or attack at the same time, then they need to divide these powers, but they become weaker.
.
This is a good thing for yourself.
While mentally digesting the information from Dante's organization, Xiao Xiao looked at another piece of information.
This is an email sent to me by Mr. Ye from his friend in the hell organization, the White Demon:
Dear President Xiao:
I am very happy to receive your letter. You have finally not forgotten my old friend. Farewell to Black Gate City, I miss you very much. Now my work is going well, and although my poker luck has not improved, I am too busy and have no time to play cards.
So I have lost less recently.
Don't think about it.
In terms of art, I have a new idea, and I look forward to having you taste it next time we meet.
As for what you are talking about, it was originally the top secret of our hell organization, but after I earnestly begged our president and threatened to leave the association, he finally agreed to give me this confidential file to you. Now I have compiled it in detail.
As follows, I hope it can help you.
Sincerely, salute.
Your forever friend: White Devil
…
…
"It is a hell organization after all. This letter is much more humane than the Dante organization..."
Xiao Xiao sighed with emotion before clicking on the information attached below. What was recorded in it was the process and detailed plan of the hell organization's hunt for the mysterious source. There were even some principles that the white devil was afraid he couldn't understand and helped him analyze.
and suggestions etc.
It was only after seeing this that Xiao Xiao realized that the Hell Organization had really hunted the mysterious source.
The way they hunted the mysterious source was to find a small town with only a few hundred residents outside the big city, in the foggy sea. The president of the hell organization wanted to test certain ideas.
, first used powerful force to clean up the town, ensuring the spiritual cleanliness of these indigenous people, and then sent people to preach to them, brainwash them, and provide them with various benefits.
The residents of this small town had begun to believe deeply in a certain mysterious source and served them like gods. The hell organization suddenly cut off all connections between the town and the outside world, and then the hell organization's meeting
Chang entered the common dreamland of the residents, that is, the spiritual world. There, he found the mysterious source of reality and killed it.
There are two pieces of evidence that can later prove that he has killed the mysterious source.
First, the residents of that small town suddenly lost all their faith starting from the next day, and even forgot about the "god".
Secondly, the president of the hell organization took out a piece of skin from that dream.
Xiaoxiao had even seen that piece of equipment used when he signed the bet with the Hell Organization.
…
"The president of the hell organization is really amazing..."
Xiao Xiao looked at the information and couldn't help but sigh: "Is he doing this just to confirm the existence of the mysterious source?"
In addition, the way he hunts this mysterious source is somewhat interesting. It seems that there is a spiritual summoning that sets a trap for the mysterious source. In this way, it turns out that ordinary people are not completely immune to the mysterious source.
passive?
He thought carefully and fell into silence. If he could kill, it would be easy.
After a few seconds, he closed the page, took the two pieces of information to himself, repackaged them in his own words, and then transferred them to the mailbox that the shepherd left for him: "As we agreed before.
, I have found some logic for killing the mysterious source at the alien level from the information left by the old president. Now, is it time to give me what you have?"
This was agreed upon during the first communication with the shepherd.
Xiao Xiao needs to find the logic of killing the mysterious source from the perspective of a stranger.
In return, the shepherd will give a specific plan based on the indigenous people's understanding of the mysterious source.
And, provide all the technical support that Black Forest currently has.
Xiao Xiao believes that only in this way can he truly concentrate all his power and turn the hunt for the mysterious source into a reality.
…
…
"I know Black Gate City best, and I also know our mission goals best."
At the same time, outside the city, when all the branders of the same type arrived, Yang Jia slowly stood up from the skeleton, looked at everyone below expressionlessly, and whispered: "So I propose that I
I am here to take command of this mission, and I also need to have the highest authority for the power of the brand. You only need to follow my orders and attack Black Gate City one by one."
Everyone else either laughed or looked up indifferently.
When branded people meet together, they must distinguish their superiority and severity, otherwise they will become a mess.
But who will have the highest authority is not so easy to decide.
There was a man wearing a pink suit with his hair combed into a comb-like look. He tilted his head and looked at Yang Jia, and then laughed in a low voice: "Black-handed Yang Jia? Haha, you are quite famous, and you are like a legend.
Very beautiful..."
"But, did you wear those famous black gloves?"
"..."
Yang Jiading looked at him steadily, and from the corner of his eye, he could see that many people had the same unconvinced expressions as this man.
Then she nodded slightly, and suddenly doorframe-shaped ripples flashed in front of her. The next moment, she appeared directly in front of this person. This person was taken aback, and stepped back. At the same time, he raised his hand and summoned a person in front of him.
There were ripples in the shape of a door frame, but before Yang Jia could wait for the ripples in front of him to take shape, the next moment, his body flashed behind him, and with a sneer of his hand, he inserted it into his back.
"Plop" "Plop"
When she retracted her hand, a bloody hole appeared on the man's back, and a beating heart appeared in her palm.
Blood surged and stained Yang Jia's palms red.
She slowly looked up at these people and said, "I didn't bring out the black gloves."
"But is the red one okay?"
"..."
The rest was silent for a long time, and no one spoke, as if they were being strangled by the neck.
"I have no opinion……"
At this time, a burly man wearing camouflage uniform smiled at Yang Jia and said:
"Just complete the instructions. It doesn't matter who takes command. I'm just curious, what plan do you plan to use to complete the goal?"
"..."
"I tried to trick him out of the city but failed."
Yang Jia looked at them coldly, threw the heart in his hand to the ground, and crushed it.
Then he said: "Now our only way is to break into Black Gate City and capture or kill him. But in this way, we will not only be blocked by other strangers in Black Gate City, but also may activate Black Gate City."
The will of the city of Gate City is against us, so my plan is very simple, use the abilities of us people to work together to build a door leading to the interior of Black Gate City."
"Decapitate the target directly."
"As for the location of the door, it can only be opened where the target can be found fastest. I have already made a decision."
"..."
She paused slightly and said the answer: "Iceberg Bar!"
After listening to her arrangement, everyone present was thoughtful, but no one spoke a word.
The man in camouflage uniform paused for a moment and asked her, "Where's the time?"
"There are many strange things in Black Gate City. Even I don't know all the secrets of this city."
Yang Jia said slowly: "So, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, I propose to start immediately!"
