Chapter Eighty-Three: Further
"Look at the old Gu family, day by day, it's really lively!" At the mouth of the alley, several old men were sitting around playing bridge, pointing to the courtyard of the Gu family from time to time and sighing.
"Wang Ke, don't mess around! This is not your own home!" Li Yuanxing sat in a wheelchair and scolded his daughter in a low voice.
"Brother Li, don't be so rigid, look at how much fun the children have had!" Gu Jun patted him on the shoulder.
In the courtyard, a group of people sat together, the beef on the grill was squeaking and squeaking, Sha Wentian was staring at the beef intently, making sure that it would not burn under his gaze, and the fat people on the side were also helping to barbecue.
Long Xiangyu was helping Gu Xiaobai's mother prepare the ingredients, while Li Wangke was constantly changing positions around a few people, because everything here was so novel in her eyes.
Suddenly, a black jeep stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Long Eryuan and Li Xuefei walked in.
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed, I came to rub the rice when I smelled it. ”
"Where, there are more people, it will be lively!" Gu Jun hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.
Li Yuanxing and Li Wangke spent a week in CAO so they were acquaintances with Long Eryuan, and the people in the courtyard basically knew each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Soon, the aroma of the meal overflowed, and the Mercedes slowly stopped at the door.
Seeing Gu Xiaobai coming back, Long Xiangyu hurriedly threw down his apron and greeted him.
"Why did you come back so late, everyone was waiting for you. Long Xiangyu said angrily.
"No, we're not waiting for you, she's the only one waiting for you. Long Eryuan's joke made everyone laugh, and Long Xiangyu was so angry that he scolded his second brother.
"Look at the old Gu family, alas, envy!" sighed again from the alley.
The dinner party has been eating lunch for nearly twelve o'clock, because it was proposed by Gu Jun, so he was extremely excited, and it didn't take long for the three men to get drunk and unconscious, although Li Yuanxing had not fully recovered, but under Gu Jun's continuous persuasion, he was also broken, not to mention Long Eryuan, his alcohol consumption was extremely poor, and he was the first to lose.
Seeing Li Xuefei help Long Eryuan into the car, the headlights disappeared into the night at the entrance of the alley. sent the fat man to the taxi again, and the curtain came to an end.
In the courtyard, Gu Junzheng and Li Yuanxing hugged each other, and the two chatted without saying a word, and no one knew what they were talking about.
The three ladies were busy cleaning up the mess in a yard, Gu Xiaobai was pushed up to the second floor by them, he simply turned on the computer and plugged in his identity card.
"Gu Xiaobai, codenamed Fengyu, Ability Level: 82% of C-level. ”
Gu Xiaobai confirmed that the remuneration for the task he completed today had been received, a total of 12,000 yuan, considering that today's task was relatively simple, Gu Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction.
I checked it in the task bar for a while, most of them are relatively simple tasks, C-level tasks are mainly officially released, and often involve criminal behaviors, but because of the low level, there are basically no particularly dangerous ability criminals, just to reduce the probability of casualties, these tasks will be released in the ability system, which can effectively avoid casualties of ordinary police.
After looking at it for a while, Gu Xiaobai still turned off the computer, and he decided to rest for a few days, because the recent tasks are really frequent, he can almost be regarded as leaving early and returning late, and it has become difficult to even see Long Xiangyu.
"What are you looking at?" a charming fragrance came, and the proud delicate body was thrown into the embrace.
"Nothing, wanted to rest for a few days. ”
"Great, I just have time, can you hang out with me?" Long Xiangyu said happily.
"Hasn't the company been busy lately?"
"Don't be busy, I'll let the fat people help me, don't say that your friend is still quite capable, plus now that the import chain has been perfected, I can almost be a shopkeeper." ”
Gu Xiaobai smiled and patted her delicate buttocks, "It turns out that they are all in your company? ”
"What's the matter, people have the ability, I have a job here, and besides, the salary I give is not low, why not?"
Gu Xiaobai looked at the beauty in his arms and couldn't help but kiss it.
Long Xiangyu didn't dodge, but responded fiercely, and it didn't take long for Gu Xiaobai's hand to involuntarily start to wander.
"Ahem...... Isn't that okay with you?"
The two turned around suddenly, and it turned out that it was Sha Wentian and Li Wangke standing at the door.
"Damn!" Gu Xiaobai couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, there's a chance to compensate you. Long Xiangyu smiled, got up and ran out.
"What, what's wrong?"
Sha Wentian inserted his ID card into the computer, and his information was displayed on the screen.
"Sha Wentian, codenamed Sha Yu, ability level: 32% of D-rank. ”
"Your code name...... You can't be learning from me, right?" Gu Xiaobai looked at him strangely.
"It's not me, it's her who helped me think about it. Sha Wentian pointed to Li Wangke, who was smiling on his face.
Gu Xiaobai looked down again, and the content in the taskbar made him stunned for an instant.
"Received Mission: Oriental Family Accident, Mission Level A. ”
"A-class, how did you get the A-class assignment?"
"At first, it was just a D-class mission, but something happened along the way, and it became like this. ”
Gu Xiaobai clicked on the content of the mission, and the content was very simple: rescue Dongfang Wan'er.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Sha Wentian began to tell the story of the mission, when Gu Xiaobai and Wang Meike went to Europe, Sha Wentian took over the task, the initial mission level was only D-level, and the task content was also very simple, that is, to protect the safety of the guests at Dongfang Wan'er's birthday banquet.
But there was an accident at the birthday banquet, a middle-aged man with the appearance of an alien suddenly appeared and forcibly took Dongfang Wan'er, at first everyone thought it was the blood clan making a comeback, but Dongfang Yu and Ling Huqian's performance showed that things were not so simple, because Dongfang Yu did not immediately catch up, but slapped the table and left with a face of shame, Ling Huqian raised the task level to A-level on the spot, and told everyone a mysterious address, as long as someone went there to bring back Dongfang Wan'er, the task was completed.
"It's so strange, his daughter was taken away, and he wasn't in a hurry?" Gu Xiaobai asked.
"Well, he didn't look anxious at all, but was very angry, and had a very bad attitude towards Mrs. Dongfang. ”
Gu Xiaobai thought for a while.
"Okay, I didn't go to Wan'er's birthday party, so I'll go with you to have a look. ”
What is even more suspicious is that several days have passed since that incident, and still no one has completed the task.
"Wait, you don't just want me to accompany you, do you?" Gu Xiaobai frowned and looked at Sha Wentian.
"No way, Wang Ke said that I can't go unless you go with you. ”
"Wang Ke?" Gu Xiaobai smiled evilly.
Li Wangke's face was already red, and he quietly pinched Sha Wentian's waist, this trick was learned from Long Xiangyu.
"Okay, okay, then let's go tomorrow, I still wanted to rest, but it seems that I was going to be scolded by Xiangyu, and I promised her to accompany her just now. ”
"It's okay, I'll go to Sister Xiangyu and say. Li Wangke said with a smile.
Gu Xiaobai was lying on the bed, Sha Wentian on the side was cross-legged and cultivating his ability, and a layer of sand was slowly rotating around his body. Gu Xiaobai has long been accustomed to such a situation, Sha Wentian's efforts far exceed his own, this is already a fact, it may be that the death of his parents has made him unable to let go.
There was a snoring sound of Li Yuanxing and Gu Jun in the living room, and the necklace on Gu Xiaobai's neck flashed with white light, and the color of two beads had already changed, corresponding to the two moves that Gu Xiaobai had used so far.
Closing his eyes, Gu Xiaobai appeared in the world of necklaces, which was full of things that Wang Mei could buy before.
"Kid, we're meeting again. Gu Xianhua's voice sounded, and the voice was still so familiar.
"Grandpa, I have a lot of questions for you. ”
"Oh? ”
"What is the beast? And what happened between you and Shava? and...... In short, there are many questions that remain unanswered. ”
The old man's voice disappeared for a moment before it sounded again.
"Xiaobai, look up, what is that?"
Gu Xiaobai looked up, it was a meteor in the shining night sky, and the silver tail dust was very long.
"Shooting stars?"
"Does Meteor's life have a purpose?"
Gu Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "No." ”
"The same is true of people's lives, a life without purpose and no problems can live as they want. ”
"But your death ......"
"What can you do if you know? People can't come back to life after death, and being too attached to one thing will change the color of your life, but that's your life after all. ”
Gu Xiaobai was thoughtful, what his grandfather said was not unreasonable, he had been thinking about "strange beasts" and "dragons" recently, and in the final analysis, he was eager for the truth about his grandfather's death.
"Child, you have suffered a lot, I didn't want you to inherit my ability, I know your obsession is very heavy, but you have to know that everyone has mistakes in life, so the answer you are looking for may be something you don't want to accept, so why not take it easy and enjoy your own life?"
Gu Xiaobai was speechless, he didn't know how to continue.
"Grandpa, your reappearance means that I have realized something again, but why don't I feel anything at all?"
Gu Xianhua's phantom appeared in front of him, and the old man suddenly waved his hand upward.
"I feel the energy in your body, child, although the alien beasts are dangerous, if you can make good use of their power, you will have a qualitative leap. ”
Gu Xianhua waved his arm and brought up a faint airflow, but soon Gu Xiaobai noticed something unusual, that faint airflow actually began to affect the surroundings, and soon, the airflow in the entire space began to flow.
"What you have in mind is the ability to manipulate the airflow, so you have to try to drive as much airflow as possible, which is the inspiration for your next move, and besides, you can take that guy's power into account, it will definitely work wonders. ”
I don't know when, the hideous shadow also appeared, and he was looking at Gu Xianhua in front of him.
"Forget it, he won't help me, he wants me to die immediately. ”
"No, he'll help you, and willingly, won't he?" Gu Xianhua looked at the hideous shadow and said with a smile.
