Volume 1 Chapter 16 Premonition

As night falls, the city lights up in the rain and the water trickles down the ground like a mirror, before being crushed by the bustling crowd.

The Millennium Bar has a sign that it will open for business. The lights are flowing, the music is roaring, the dance floor is the world of young people, and the teenagers and girls cheer and sway to the rhythm of the music, venting their youth with nowhere to put it. After a hard day's work, the white-collar workers also pushed the door in groups, ordered a few glasses of delicious wine, and sat at the bar to chat and laugh with their companions or bartenders.

If you look closely, you might notice that a little bit of fluorescent blue, barely noticeable starlight is condensing on its surface, converging into a ball of light the size of a grain of rice, and gradually rising until it reaches the hands of a purple-skinned girl on the second floor of the bar.

The proprietress of the Millennium Bar, the succubus Mosley, is also the "half-sister" that Xuan Yi has always claimed to the public.

She was [dining] at this time. Unlike other races, the succubus race needs to eat a variety of meat, vegetables, fruits and other ingredients to ensure energy supply, and their staple food is the [energy] of other creatures. During the war years, the succubi clan who joined the battlefield as soldiers were extremely formidable opponents, and all kinds of unguardable energy absorbed spells, so that their enemies were often unknowingly drained of their vitality, describing the exhaustion of their strength.

Of course, by now, the succubus clan that had been restricted by law had banned that kind of large-scale killing magic circle, and what Mo Sili had done at this time was to draw a very small part of the energy from the revelry crowd through a common small magic circle arranged in advance. This will not attract attention, and it will not cause any burden on people's bodies, at most it will only make people feel a little "hangover" the next day after the fact.

The second floor of the bar is relatively quiet, with an enchanted barrier of soundproofing dividing the two floors into two worlds, where non-noisy patrons usually gather to play cards or sit at the bar and order a cocktail made by the hostess. At this point, Mosley turned the energy she had absorbed into candy, tossed it into a glass of agave, and drank it down, then let out a pleasant sigh.

"A glass of Coke on the rocks. A familiar figure pulled open the chair in front of the bar, Xuan Yi took out a cigarette case in his arms and knocked it on the table, and then put a cigarette in his mouth. "A glass of warmed milk. The chair on the other side was also pulled out, and the little girl who looked like a butler climbed onto the chair, frowning and looking around at the bar.

Looking at the two who thought they were father and daughter at first glance, Mo Sili rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and then quickly pushed the prepared drink in front of Xuan Yi: "Come on, brother, your Coke." Then, she turned around and stretched out her right hand to Brienne with empty hands and a commercial smile: "Come, dead man, your middle finger." ”

The white and tender little hand immediately slapped on the bar, Brienne stood up like an enraged kitten, and the fiery murderous aura that was completely inconsistent with her cold appearance gradually volatilized: "Dead Bichi, is your ass itchy?" "Dwarf winter melon, I remember I said that you are not allowed to step into this shop, right?" Mosley stood in place with her arms crossed without showing weakness and sneered, the black wing tattoo on her bare back gradually glowing a light blue.

The origin of the grievance between the two of them that they don't like each other is so long ago that even they themselves have forgotten the reason, and this situation is just commonplace. So Xuan Yi didn't plan to get involved, he skillfully pulled out the remote control on the inside of the bar and pressed the old-fashioned TV hanging above, intending to find some old movies to pass the time as usual.

Here's a breaking news. ”

Don't be so coincidental. Xuan Yi pursed his lips, he had never been interested in news broadcasts, and just as he was about to change the channel to find a new program, the flashing figure in the news suddenly attracted his attention.

"The logging forest farm of the "Pioneer" group in the eastern part of Yucheng broke out at 10:40 a.m. today due to an unknown cause, and the damage is expected to exceed 4 million yuan, but fortunately there are no casualties...... "A close-up of a photo of a bearded man is enlarged on the TV screen," and half an hour later, Sanders Benya, the head of the forest farm, appeared in a serious car accident mysteriously, please see the on-site surveillance video below. ”

The screen switches, and the perspective comes to a monitoring place on the ring road, and the vehicles passing by are driving in an orderly alternating manner, and it seems that there is nothing abnormal. However, about ten seconds later, a black shadow that was obviously knocked away suddenly shot out rapidly in the mountains and forests next to the lane, and smashed into the cargo compartment of a heavy truck with a loud bang.

Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the pale blue smoke in his mouth shrouded the lenses reflected by the TV. His gaze locked on an unobtrusive corner of the video.

In that place, at the edge of the forest, an extremely vague figure was waving in the direction of the surveillance.

The next moment, a small part of the video was enlarged by the screenshot, and the news host said with a grim face: "The truck driver and Sanders have been sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and the police found this unknown person in the on-site surveillance, and preliminarily judged that he was the first suspect in the arson incident and the road attack, and we will connect with the reporter in front of ......"

"Beep. ”

Xuan Yi pressed the change button, and watched the flashes of channels with an expressionless face. The two who were facing each other felt the atmosphere solemn, and Brienne returned to her usual calm state and obediently sat back in her place. Mo Sili poured a glass of wine, took a sip slowly, and then tilted her head and asked Xuan Yi, "Think something is wrong?"

"No, it's just a delusion. Xuan Yi shook his head, his expression already relaxed. "No kidding, I've never seen you delusion since I've known you. Mosley frowned, "You're going to check it out?"

"What are you talking about, have you forgotten that your brother is just an unemployed vagrant doing odd jobs? Xuan Yi made an exaggerated grimace, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "In my position, it is not suitable to come forward." Besides, this kind of thing that looks very dangerous at first glance, who will make up for it by themselves if you don't give money, your brother and I are very afraid of death. ”

Mosley sighed helplessly, "You, that's always the case. I just don't want you to show up like this all the time, the last time Bodie happened to the new cop to notice you, just in case ......"

"I know, I know. Xuan Yi held his cheeks, raised the wine glass with his right hand, looked at the black and red liquid shuttling between the ice cubes in the crystal glass, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "After all, ......"

After all, I'm a dead man.

…………

A building in Rain City, top floor.

The iron door of the roof was suddenly kicked open, and the broken lock cylinder and iron chain were scattered on the ground, making a crisp sound of metal colliding. A figure staggered out of the staircase, only to see that his feet suddenly softened, and the whole person fell straight on the water-filled floor tiles, splashing a dirty splash.

"Whew...... Wheeze ......" A heavy wheezing sound came out under the mask, Han Fei raised his right hand tremblingly, put his five fingers on the edge of the mask, and then pulled it hard with the only remaining strength, and the burnt smell of the skin and flesh instantly diffused, only to see that the mask that was already blackened on the inside was thrown out of a rotating arc in mid-air, and then slammed heavily on the iron door, and the arc with flashing sparks flashed on the surface of the mask, only to hear a "crackling" sound, countless cracks suddenly crawled all over every inch of the mask, and finally scattered into a pile of irregular fragments.

"Call...... Dr. Wu. ”

Han Fei fumbled for a mobile phone in his pocket, he pressed the answer button, and began to call the unique number.

"Key?" After a short wait, an electronically synthesized voice came from the other end of the phone. “426…… 334。 The stinging pain from his body almost made Han Fei unable to say a complete word, and he endured the pain, he gritted his teeth and replied with the force that almost broke the root of his teeth.

"Where are you, why is the mask signal gone?" asked the other in an eager tone, "who allowed you to go out without permission?"

"Ahem...... I'll send out my position, Dr. Wu, the mask can't withstand the energy...... Overloaded, that werewolf bastard...... Ahem...... happened to destroy the circuit ......" Han Fei paused, and the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Okay, I'll send a drone to pick you up, you have to stay where you are and don't move around. On the other side, Dr. Wu in front of the big screen was about to enter the command of the drone, but was stopped by Han Fei strongly.

"No need to pick me up, things ...... It's not over yet. The gasping gradually stopped, and Han Fei's face gradually distorted into a hideous smile, "Send the second-generation mask over, I have a ...... Interesting plan. ”
