Rushing all the way home, Ling Long panted and knocked on the door.

It's not that Jin Lian is terrible, but Ling Long, as a little chick, can't resist the mature charm exuded by Jin Lian.

A white face suddenly appeared in the door, so frightened that Ling Long almost fell down the steps.

"Auntie, is this going to scare me to death in the middle of the night?"

Ling Long's eyes glanced down, and through his figure, he directly confirmed that the owner of this "white face" was Xu Mengyao.

Turning around angrily, Xu Mengyao moved away and let Ling Long enter the house.

"Do you still know that this is the middle of the night?" Xu Mengyao was dressed in silk pajamas to outline the golden ratio figure perfectly, and Ling Long's heart beat faster when she saw it.

"It's still early to get off work today, and I guess you didn't sleep before you knocked on the door...... In the future, it is estimated that I will not be able to come back until the second half of the night, so I won't bother you at that time. ”

Ling Long picked up the warm water prepared by Xu Mengyao and smiled, "What is this on your face?"

Xu Mengyao glanced at him: "Girls don't know their masks, they deserve to be single." ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Ling Long, who has lived near the garbage dump since he was a child, is surrounded by some ruffians at the bottom of society, plus he seems to be born with a physique insulated from women, and the theory of facial masks is unheard of.

Sitting on the sofa and resting for a while, Ling Long thought about how to confess the mission to her...... After all, it has been more than a month since I came back from X City, but the progress of finding Xu's father is still in place.

Ling Long knew that although Xu Mengyao didn't say it on her face, she must have been in a hurry in her heart......

Covering his head, Ling Long didn't know how to open his mouth to explain.

This time, Li Qiuwen gave himself a task that outsiders may not understand, but Ling Long knew it very well in his heart...... He used the power of the Paranormal Association to help him get rid of the imprint in his body.

The killer of the secret door is eyeing him, and if he wants to know the truth of this conspiracy, Ling Long must personally go and meet the trader who is hiding behind the evolution ladder for a while!

But in this way, the pursuit of Xu Mengyao's father will lag behind......

Thinking of this, Ling Long couldn't help but feel a headache.

"What's wrong, you look uneasy?" Xu Mengyao sat beside Ling Long and looked at the moonlight outside the window with him.

Sighing softly, Ling Long looked into her bright eyes and whispered, "There is something I want to discuss with you......"

"Okay. Xu Mengyao glanced at the watch, "Wait for me for a while, it's time for the mask, I'll wash my face." ”

"Hmmm......"

Looking at her back, Ling Long was distraught.

Sometimes, many choices are never right or wrong until they are exposed to the outcome.

Drying the water stains on her face, Xu Mengyao's whole person looked refreshed, her white and tender cheeks seemed to be able to squeeze out water, and a pair of beautiful eyes full of vitality also secretly looked at Ling Long.

"Say it...... What do you want to discuss?"

Facing the beautiful girl with anticipation on her face, Ling Long's heart tightened: "The city high-level officials gave me a notice that I must participate in the heavenly punishment activity in five days, so I ......"

"So what?" Xu Mengyao's tone was a little nervous.

"Your father's business...... It may have to be postponed for a few more days. As soon as he said that, Ling Long also felt a lot more relaxed.

The two sides fell silent, Ling Long secretly glanced at Xu Mengyao's expression, but she just lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with her small hands.

"I know that you followed me to S City to find your father's whereabouts...... But I repeatedly pushed this matter back...... "Ling Long was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but in the face of choice, he could only rationally find the best solution.

"Don't talk about it......"

The corners of Xu Mengyao's eyes turned red, and she couldn't hold back her tears: "If you say this, I will attribute all my grievances to you...... I don't want that. ”

On the one hand, there is the ability mark in his body, and on the other hand, Xu Mengyao's father, Ling Long is really entangled...... But if the matter of the secret door is not completely solved, it is unknown whether he can reach City A alive.

Secretly wiping the corners of her eyes, Xu Mengyao burst into tears and smiled: "Look at the ...... that embarrassed you." I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. ”

Hearing her say this, although Ling Long breathed a sigh of relief, his mood became heavier and heavier.

"Who made you shine in the league...... As a city hero, it really can't be justified not to give something. Xu Mengyao tried to keep smiling, "Anyway, the punishment is only three days, just wait for you to finish." ”

Ling Long nodded vigorously.

"But...... Although you are strong now, you still have to pay attention to safety, the heavenly punishment is different from the league, once you miss, you will really die!" Xu Mengyao said worriedly, "Besides, there is still a special ability mark in your body, you must not be reckless in case of trouble." ”

"I'm measured, don't worry. ”

Ling Long couldn't tell her directly, this operation was essentially to investigate the matter of the ability mark.

"Let's talk for a while, it's dawn, wash up and go to bed. Xu Mengyao stretched her waist and got up silently, "By the way, the city only said that you should participate in the heavenly punishment, but didn't say what you need to do in the process?"

Ling Long took off his coat and drank the slightly cool water on the table.

"I said I was going to find an organization called the Evolutionary Ladder. ”

Ling Long got up and picked up the basin, ready to boil another pot of water.

"Wait!"

Xu Mengyao's face changed greatly when she heard this: "What organization did you say you went to find?"

"Evolutionary Ladder...... You know?" Ling Long looked at Xu Mengyao curiously.

With a sneer, Xu Mengyao's originally tired eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of strength.

"It's not just ...... know" Xu Mengyao came to Ling Long's side, as if she remembered a certain fragment in her thoughts, "It's just too familiar!"

"Oh? ”

Xu Mengyao looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "My father, when I was the earliest, I once joined a scientific research institution called 'Tianxuan' in X City...... Unlike the research centers around Hurricane City today, that institution is private. ”

"Later, because the Five Cities promulgated a prohibition law that did not allow everyone to establish or participate in the Abnormal Ability Association, 'Tianxuan' was also disbanded at that time. ”

Xu Mengyao seems to be well aware of these histories.

"After the reorganization, this scientific research institution called Tianxuan was officially renamed the Evolutionary Ladder, and many of the people in it were remnants of the original guild or scientists from various cities in Hurricane City, and my father was one of them. ”

"What about the future?" Ling Long couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Because the Evolution Ladder violated the laws of Hurricane City and was included in the ranks of terrorist organizations, my father was afraid that it would affect my young mother and me, so he broke away from there, so I joined the X City scientific research team. ”

After listening to Xu Mengyao's narration, Ling Long suddenly had a bold idea......

"Master Mao said at the time that your father was in City A, and Li Qiuwen once said something similar...... Could your father's disappearance have something to do with this evolutionary ladder?"
