Chapter 331 [Troublesome Things]

"Who could it be?"

Sitting in the hotel room, Chen Xiaolian and Luo Di looked at each other.

There is a chance to see a copy......

In other words, the person who took the metal ball must be the Awakened! Otherwise, he would never say a message like "copy".

But then came the question.

Why would an Awoken take the metal ball?

How does the other party know the importance of the metal ball? Or ...... Why didn't the other party take anything else, just the metal ball?

Unless the other party knows what the metal ball does?

So, how much does the other party know?

Especially for the secrets of the loopholes, how much do you know?

At last......

Who the hell is the other party?

Naturally, the first primary suspect, the first thing that came to mind for the two of them was Selena!

By any indication, this woman is the most suspicious.

She was the last to be in the room, and she didn't come to the police station to see the two of them, but left in a hurry.

Is it a lack of heart?

Could it be that she took it?

"The question now is how much the other side knows. Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Moreover, the other party is in the dark, and we are in the light...... Hmph, I'll see you in the dungeon if there's a chance!"

This incident made Chen Xiaolian feel a little angry in his heart, and he also blamed himself a little.

In the end, it's too much of a trust!

Luo Di sighed: "It's not a way to think like this...... Since the other party has been hidden, it is not so easy to find the other party, maybe they have left New York now, the world is so big, where to find it. ”

Chen Xiaolian sighed: "That's it...... This can only be done for the time being, hopefully...... See you in the so-called chance copy. That day will not be too far away. I always feel like I've been planted with a thorn!"

Luo Di also sighed and waved his hand: "If you can't figure it out, I can't do it even more, forget it, let's do it first." ”

Now that the matter in New York has been settled, it is natural that we should prepare to return home.

But after some discussion. Roddy brought up one thing.

"Before I go home, I'm going to San Francisco. I'm going to meet Nicole!"

"Huh?"

Roddy's eyes were blazing: "You forgot?" Whatever the outcome of this time, if I have a chance to come out alive, I must see her once, in the open! I'll have to deal with it. ”

Chen Xiaolian pondered: "How are you going to face her?"

"I don't know yet, maybe when we meet, I'll have the answer in my heart. Roddy smiled wryly.

Seeing that this guy finally made up his mind, Chen Xiaolian didn't know whether to be happy for this brother. Or sigh for him.

However, after all, let's support him.

The two booked a flight to San Francisco early the next morning.

However, after a half-day stay in San Francisco, Roddy was greatly frustrated.

Nicole, gone.

Calls to her residence were answered by a voice mail machine, and calls were made to her place of work...... She was told she was on a long vacation.

As for Nicole's workplace...... Do you think it's okay to ask the DHS about an agent?

Luo Di took advantage of the excitement and naturally refused to give up easily.

Day 3. The two get on a plane to Texas together, and Roddy decides to go to Nicole's hometown to find it. And Chen Xiaolian had to go with him......

......

Fitness center, evening.

Xia Xiaolei was walking out of the gym, he carried a sandbag, threw it in the corner, and wiped his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck.

After these days of hard training, plus physical strengthening and special training. As well as the nutritional supplements on weekdays, this young big boy is no longer as thin as he was in the mountain village.

The muscle contours of the body have begun to appear, and even the mermaid lines on the lower sides of the lower abdomen have begun to show scale. plus a face that is higher than the standard of ordinary people, if you are dressed up, you can also pretend to be a little fresh meat.

Especially these days when I go back and forth between home and the fitness center. Occasionally, on the road, I would see some girls looking at me with strange eyes.

Coming out of the gym, Xia Xiaolei walked to the cabinet and took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it in one go, and exhaled comfortably.

Looking at the empty fitness center, the young man's expression was a little helpless.

Alas...... No human rights!

The two brothers went on vacation, Chen Xiaolian and Luo Di also went out, and they were left at home.

The London copy itself did not catch up...... If this continues, I am afraid that I will really become a transparent person.

Could it be that I can really only honestly play the role of a humanoid discount card?

No way......

It's too hard.

Just thinking of this, suddenly, Xia Xiaolei heard a knock on the door.

Bang bang bang.

He turned his head to look, then walked to the door.

Outside the glass door of the fitness center, there is a slender figure.

Looking through the glass door, although this figure is not very tall, it is very slender, curvy, concave and convex, the upper body is a little cute vest, and the chest outline makes Xia Xiaolei, an innocent young man, blush a little, and he is covered with a short coat and three-quarter sleeves. Underneath is a pair of hot pants, bare slender and toned legs, and a pair of stretch shoes are pedaled underneath.

Xia Xiaolei opened the door and looked at the figure in front of him, and couldn't help but lose his mind for two seconds, but fortunately, he came back to his senses after opening it.

"That...... Who are you looking for?"

The girl was facing the door sideways, and when she heard the sound, she turned around and faced Xia Xiaolei.

Seeing the girl's face, Xia Xiaolei couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.

It's a pity......

A proud figure that can score 90 points, but with a passer-by face......

However, although the girl's face is ordinary, her eyes are quite smart.

"Excuse me, is this a fitness center?"

Mandarin is very standard, but Xia Xiaolei heard a bit of a strange taste...... How do you say that? It's like the so-called ABC on TV, that's the accent.

"Huh?" Xia Xiaolei was stunned for a moment.

The girl looked at Xia Xiaolei. A hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Excuse me, is this a fitness center?"

"Uh...... Sort of. Is there anything wrong with you?"

The girl smiled, although she looked ordinary, but when she laughed, her smile was very bright. It's easy to associate with the feeling of a sunny beach, and with her already healthy light wheat skin, it has a very energetic feeling.

"That's right, hello, my name is ...... Leaf. I just moved to the city and I'm nearby. I love sports and fitness, and I'm looking for the right fitness center, so I happened to see you here, so I stopped by and asked. How do you charge here?"

Xia Xiaolei was stunned.

Toll?

The young man looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "This...... Sorry, our fitness center is closed to the public. ”

"Why?"

The girl's eyes looked past Xia Xiaolei into the room: "I see that your equipment is very complete, it should be a professional fitness center, right?"

"Uh, I'm really sorry...... We don't really do it, it's a private place. ”

The girl nodded, and glanced at Xia Xiaolei meaningfully: "Private place, ......"

She suddenly strode past Xia Xiaolei, and Xia Xiaolei was stunned. Subconsciously dodged sideways, and the girl had already walked into the room.

She seemed to be very natural. There was no stranger's consciousness, and he looked at the fitness equipment in the room: "The things are very complete." It's hard to find such a nice place nearby...... Are you really just a private place? It's not open to the public? If it's a membership system, I can apply for membership. ”

"No, no, you're mistaken. After all, Xia Xiaolei is a simple teenager and lacks experience in communicating with the opposite sex. Shaking his hand, he said: "It's not a membership system, we are a private place, not open to the public...... That, you're ......."

Looking at this girl's warm and cheerful smile, Xia Xiaolei was embarrassed to say anything to ask the other party to leave.

Ye Zi smiled slightly. looked at Xia Xiaolei, but smiled secretly in his heart: I saw this kid in Tokyo that day, he was still a thin teenager, but now he looks a little more mature, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.

Naturally, this girl is a floating angel with a pseudonym of Yezi, but she is actually Nicole's floating angel!

"So, is it okay to discuss?" Nicole looked at Xia Xiaolei with a smile: "I can't find a better fitness center for the time being, you have such a big place here, I think, one more me is not more, and one less me is not much...... It's just a convenience, so that I can come and exercise when I have time, okay? If you're willing to charge, I'll pay for it. Anyway...... I'm also nearby, so I'll just think it's a convenient place to walk around the neighborhood, okay?"

Xia Xiaolei's forehead was sweating, naturally not tired, but nervous.

Just when he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Outside the door, a very indifferent voice suddenly came.

"Sorry, inconvenient. None of us are the masters here, and we can't let people in without the owner's permission. So your request, we can't accede. ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Xia Xiaolei's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes looked at the gate.

"Da Gang, you're back!"

Outside the glass door, Da Gang, who was carrying a rucksack on his back, well, Tianlie, slowly walked in.

He had reverted to the appearance of Dagang, his body was thin and his face was wooden, and he casually threw the canvas bag against the wall next to the door.

Tianlie looked at Xia Xiaolei and said with a smile: "I went home to do some things, but I didn't expect to come back after a few days of delay." ”

Xia Xiaolei was naturally relieved when he saw Tianlie coming back, he walked up and said with a smile: "This young lady ......"

"I heard it at the door. Tianlie smiled, he walked behind the table by himself, took out a bottle of mineral water, thought about it, took out another bottle and threw it to Nicole.

Nicole took it: "Thank you." As he spoke, he unscrewed it and took a sip.

"You're welcome, I can't help with anything else, but the neighbor is here, and I always have to drink a sip of water. Tianlie said lightly: "But, if you want to come here to exercise, I'm sorry we can't agree, I just said, we are not the masters here." And...... The owner here is not very good-tempered, and I am afraid that it is not convenient for outsiders to enter...... Let alone. We are all men here, and we all wear very little when we work out, sometimes in undershirts and vests, sometimes bare-chested...... You're a girl's family, it's not very convenient. ”

Xia Xiaolei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Inconvenient. ”

He glanced at Tianlie quietly again, and thought to himself: This reason is good, why didn't I think of it for a moment just now? This Da Gang, I haven't seen him for a few days, it seems that people have suddenly become more clever.

Nicole smiled slightly, looked at Tianlie twice, and nodded: "Take it...... In that case, I will not force it. I'll visit another day. ”

With that, Nicole waved at the two of them and turned to leave.

Tianlie looked at Nicole's back. Suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute." ”

Nicole turned around: "What?"

"Your water. Tianlie pointed to the mineral water on the table, and Nicole only took a sip just now: "It's not good to waste water." ”

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. Nicole smiled slightly, took the mineral water, and walked out the door to leave.

Tianlie looked at this back, his brows locked, and his eyes were thoughtful.

......

Nicole walked out of the fitness center and outside the building, walking down a street. Turn into an alley and gently pinch your face. There is an extra transparent thing as thin as paper in his hand, like a mask.

And after removing this thing, her appearance naturally returned to its original appearance.

"Hmph, is your vigilance still strong...... However, who is that guy with Xia Xiaolei? Could it be that Chen Xiaolian's team has added a new person?"

......

Tianlie walked into the fitness center and put down his things. Looking back at Xia Xiaolei: "Xiaolei, did you just finish practicing?"

"Hmm. Xia Xiaolei smiled: "I didn't expect you to come back after going out so much this time." ”

"Well, there are some things to deal with in my hometown. Tianlie muttered casually, and asked, "That girl just now, is it the first time to come?"

"Hmm. Haven't seen it before. I also wonder that our place is not in the downtown area, and no one usually comes to the door. ”

Tianlie groaned: "Be careful...... These days, there are many liars. ”

Xia Xiaolei laughed: "Liar, which liar dares to drill into us." ”

But then Xia Xiaolei realized that Da Gang in front of him was not a member of the team, so I'm afraid it would be better not to tell him this.

"Well, what about the little faces?" Tianlie looked at the empty fitness center.

"Oh? they...... I came back from London, but then I left, and the spare tire ran out of the waves. As for Little Face and Roddy...... I said I was going out to do something, but I didn't ask much. ”

Tianlie's heart moved, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and took out a bag from his backpack: "Come, I'll go home this time, I brought some delicious food from my hometown, you can taste it." ”

The night was fine.

Chen Xiaolian and Luo Di were not at home, and at night, Xia Xiaolei was not interested in going back to Chen Xiaolian's residence to live, the house was empty anyway, and it was not interesting to go back, and the fitness center had a lounge, so Xia Xiaolei simply stayed and stayed with Tianlie.

The two ate something casually, chatted casually for a while, and then went to sleep.

The next day was still as usual.

Xia Xiaolei locked himself in the gym and practiced hard, holding a sandbag.

And Tianlie was sitting on the table outside, holding a comic book that he had picked out from nowhere and was flipping through it casually, and from time to time his eyes looked at the sweaty figure in the gym, and a smile flashed on the corner of Tianlie's mouth.

In the afternoon, there was a clanging sound outside.

Tianlie and Xia Xiaolei heard it and walked out of the door to take a look.

Right inside the building, there was another vacant room next to the fitness center, the door of which had been torn down.

Several workers are working on the work, and some tools and decoration materials are also being moved over one after another.

A worker with a handheld electric drill punched holes in the wall and then knocked a signboard on it.

Xia Xiaolei saw at a glance that there was a person in the crowd who knew him, it was an administrator of the property of this building, and walked up and asked: "Mr. Liu, this is ......?"

The administrator glanced at Xia Xiaolei and smiled gently: "Xiaolei...... I was about to tell you. This house was rented this morning. No, the tenant is very anxious, and hired someone to come in the afternoon to decorate, I want to say hello to you, there will definitely be some noise during the renovation, please bear with me. ”

Xia Xiaolei is a loyal person: "It's easy to say, it's not a big deal." ”

Tianlie was on the side, his eyes thoughtful, but he suddenly spoke: "I don't know who rents this house?

The administrator was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's not that you open a company...... Don't worry, the other party said, the repair is very simple, there are not many things, the walls and floors in it do not need to be moved, and the ready-made rough house is laid with a floor -- the kind that can be disassembled and assembled, and the wall is not moved, just a mirror is attached to one side...... I heard that it was a dance practice room, as if it was going to get a dance training class or something, and I couldn't make a fuss, but the other party was very generous, and the rent was not paid back, so I signed the contract directly...... To say, there aren't many people who are so happy these days. It's just like the boss of your family, Chen Xiaolian. If everyone were like that, it would be much easier for us. Hahahaha. ”

As he spoke, the administrator explained a few more words to several construction workers, said hello to Xia Xiaolei Tianlie, and left staggeringly.

"Dance training class?" Xia Xiaolei was a little curious. Training courses are held in this remote place...... Can there be a business then?

"It's not a dance class. ”

Behind him, a smiling voice came.

"It's a yoga class. ”

Nicole stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Xia Xiaolei and Tianlie with a smile on her face, she walked over, carrying a big bag that had just been purchased from the supermarket, and took out two bottles of drinks from it and threw them to Xia Xiaolei and Tianlie: "Take it, please drink it." ”

"Yoga?" Xia Xiaolei touched his head.

"Yes, yoga. Nicole looked at the young man and said with a faint smile: "If you are interested, when I finish decorating, you can also come to practice." Don't know fitness every day, yoga can increase the flexibility of the body, if you are young, don't train your muscles to be stiff. ”

As she spoke, Nicole glanced at Tianlie, who was not speaking next to her, walked into the door of her room, and went in to talk to the construction staff.

"That, Da Gang, what is yoga?" Xia Xiaolei asked as he looked at Tianlie.

Tianlie frowned and said in a low voice, "...... I'm afraid it is...... Troublesome stuff. ”
