When there was a knock on the door of Nanfeng's dormitory, she was opening a box of instant noodles - there was no seasoning packet of course - and Nanfeng was so used to this that she opened the spice box and threw a spoonful of salt and pepper into it, before she went to open the door and saw her boss standing outside the door.

"Boss?"

The long-haired young man propped himself up on the door with one hand and looked up into the room. As always, the minimalist style, so simple that it is impossible to tell that this is the dormitory where she has lived for five or six years, and there is almost no human taste. Looking at the instant noodles on the coffee table, the young man frowned slightly.

"You're going to eat this?"

"You're not here to ask about this, are you?" said Nanfeng coldly.

The young man shook his head and handed a brown paper bag to Nanfeng, the seal on the seal had been opened, Nanfeng examined the seal for a while, raised his hand and pulled out a stack of materials inside, and the one that started with a paper clip pinned a photograph.

"Is he the target this time?" Nanfeng swept Wen Jiàn with a glance, "He Yang...... At the age of 24, he was a pianist and was admitted to the Vienna University of Music at the age of 16...... Nice resume. Do you want me to 'execute' him?"

"Quite the opposite. The young man raised his eyes, his eyes interesting, "Your task is to protect him 24 hours a day—close to him." ”

Nanfeng's hand paused.

"We are the Ministry of Executions. ”

"That's right. ”

"It is the duty of the Ministry of Armed Forces to protect people. ”

"Yes. The young man tapped at the stack of materials, "So you have one more task." Observe this pianist 24 hours a day. ”

"Observation?" Nanfeng flipped through a page of information, "Honestly, it's surveillance." ”

"It's better to say observation. ”

Quickly finished flipping through the files in his hand, Nanfeng rolled the information into a tube and knocked on the palm of his hand.

"So, what's so special about him that he needs to be 'observed'?"

"Everywhere he goes, he dies. ”

“…… Chief, when have I ever offended you?"

The long-haired youth smiled slightly.

"I just have faith in you. ”

Nanfeng quietly glanced at his instant noodle bowl - this is the lucky value of buying instant noodles without a seasoning packet -

"-- Where did you get your faith?"

The young man replied lightly, "I believe you can't be more unlucky." ”

"Boss, can I beat you?"

"Before beating me, how about talking about business?" the young man pulled the information out of Nanfeng's hand, "Do you remember what happened last night?" The Seventh Action Group of the Investigation Department encountered a vampire while patrolling in the south of the city, and the team leader Lin Jing died. At that time, the System sent a call for help to the nearby combatants, and Ren Li and the others rushed over, but you didn't respond. ”

Nanfeng lowered his eyes and subconsciously turned his head to avoid the young man's gaze.

"I should have reported this. ”

"I am not talking to you about this now, not to hold you accountable. The young man leaned against the door frame very casually, "It's just that when we were watching the video of Lin Jing's battle, we noticed that there was another person present at the time. When the Investigation Department investigated the man's resume, he found something very interesting. ”

Nanfeng finally turned his gaze, and the young man looked at her meaningfully.

This is the third time this month that he has appeared at the scene of an anomalous event. The head of the Investigation Department was intrigued by this, so he investigated his resume from childhood to adulthood, and the results were quite astonishing - they found a total of 1,025 deaths related to him, of which about 357 were anomalous events. Of course, most of the time he's only been on the scene or talking to the people involved, and it's very rare to be directly involved like yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed him until now. ”

Nanfeng's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Only found out now?"

"The Minister of Investigation scolded his men for an hour yesterday for this. But I don't blame them, for example, if you pass by the Liwan corpse yard in the morning -- ahem, I mean the Liwan market -- someone will commit suicide in the afternoon, and most people won't think it has anything to do with you, right?"

"So what?" Nanfeng was a little impatient, "This kind of mission should be from the Investigation Department, right?"

The young man's gaze drifted visibly. He coughed, trying to end the conversation.

"Anyway, you can do your job well. ”

Nanfeng squinted, scrutinizing the young man up and down with her hands on her chest, and after a moment, she spoke coldly.

"You played cards with the Minister of Investigation and lost again? The price of the bet is that this task is transferred to our Execution Department, right?"

“……”

"Seriously, Chief, bet this stupidity with a prophecy powerhouse, and only you can do it. ”

After all, the head of the investigation department is from the Xi family of [Foresight].

“…… If you don't do this task, forget it. The young man rolled up the information, "I'll go and negotiate with the top for a replacement." ”

"It doesn't matter. Nanfeng looked away as if bored, "I'll do it when the task is assigned to me." Boss, you call the seventh child and inform him that he has come to pick up the task. ”

The Department of Executions generally has 24 investigation teams, each of which is divided into 26 squads according to their strength, and each team is a two-person team. Nanfeng's partner is Lao Qi, but Lao Qi's personality is too difficult to explain, and if it is not necessary, Nanfeng doesn't want to say a word to him.

The young man's expression suddenly became very complicated, and when Nanfeng saw this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What's wrong with him?"

"To put it simply, it's ......" The young man looked at the sky and the earth, and it took a long time to explain vaguely, "He played too high with people yesterday, and there was a bit of a difference, and now he is in the hospital, and he can't do the task for at least a month." ”

“……”

Nanfeng didn't want to know what his partner had done...... Let people like the Minister of Execution hesitate for a long time and find it difficult to talk about it!

"All in all, you're going to have to do it alone. The young man looked down at his watch, "It's almost time, let's pack up and go to He Yang." ”

"I see. You wait for me downstairs. ”

Nanfeng said coldly, and when the young man turned around, he suddenly called out to him.

"Hua Xu. She called his name, "If there's something wrong with that guy—"

The young man turned his head, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He raised his hand and made a gun-like gesture at the corner of his forehead, his fingertips tapping against his skull with a soft, muffled thud.

"-You have the authority to terminate. ”

He laughs.

Nanfeng bowed his head to indicate that he understood, and then closed the door.

Throwing the freshly soaked instant noodles into the trash, the oil splashed on the red dress in the trash can, and it was so dirty that it looked like oxidized blood. Nanfeng took out a set of clothes from the closet and went to the bathroom to change into, and when she passed by the mirror, she looked at the woman in the mirror with a blank face.

"You were there yesterday. ”

She asked.

A female voice chuckled in her head. Her voice is so soft and charming.

"yes, there I am. ”

Nanfeng pursed her lips wordlessly, but the voice in her head did not let her go, and the end of the smile even went up.

"You're not angry, are you? angry that I didn't save them?"

Hearing this, Nanfeng Huo Ran raised his eyes!

"Who will be mad at you. After a while, she sneered briefly, "I never thought you'd save them. ”

"Are you angry at their deaths, then?"

To this question, Nanfeng only responded with a sneer.

She didn't know anyone from the investigation department, and she didn't even know who Lin Jing was, so it would be too fake to say how sad she was for their deaths.

She's just angry—

"This time it was only my momentary negligence that let you out, and there is no next time. She stared coldly into the eyes in the mirror, "A female ghost locked up in me......"

What is the second half of the sentence? Nanfeng did not continue. She took her eyes off the mirror, never looked again, and changed her clothes neatly. Put away the toiletries on the sink, she doesn't have many things, plus a few simple changes of clothes, just enough to fit half a leisure bag. Carrying the black casual bag in his hand, Nanfeng stopped looking at the room and walked straight downstairs.

Hua Xu was leaning on the handrail of the stairs, a cigarette between his fingers, and his long black hair hung down as he lowered his head, obscuring his expression. A man's long hair should look feminine, but there is no trace of femininity in Hua Xu. When Nanfeng walked up to him, Hua Xu twisted the cigarette out and raised his chin to signal her to follow him.

He took her to a villa area in the east of the city. The familiarity made Nanfeng feel a little wrong.

"You're familiar with this place?"

"Occasionally come here for a few days. ”

"You bought a house here?"

"Nope. Hua Xu smiled and didn't let Nanfeng continue to ask, "We have arrived, this is it." ”

They stopped in front of a villa, and Hua Xu raised his hand and rang the doorbell, three times in a long and not short way.

However, no one came to open the door.

Nanfeng raised his head and looked around the neighborhood, getting a general impression of the surveillance and security of this residential area. When she was habitually analyzing the environment, Hua Xu rang the doorbell three more times unhurriedly.

This time there was finally a response.

"Who?"

"It's me, open the door. ”

After Hua Xu said this into the walkie-talkie, the door of the villa clicked open.

Seeing Hua Xu and the owner of the villa, who was also familiar with the target of the mission, Nanfeng suddenly understood what he meant by "occasionally coming here to stay for a few days".

"Let me introduce you, this is my friend and the object of your protection this time, He Yang. ”

Hua Xu said to the south wind.

Nanfeng finally knew why Hua Xu, as the Minister of Execution, would take on this task.

Hua Xu avoided her gaze and introduced her to He Yang instead. Nanfeng looked at He Yang behind his sunglasses, and suddenly felt that the way he looked at her was a little strange.

It's like looking at someone who shouldn't be here.

So after shaking hands with He Yang, she asked bluntly.

"You know me?"

The other party blinked sluggishly, and thought for a moment before answering her.

"I want to ...... I don't know it...... Right?"

Nanfeng didn't believe it, but she didn't say anything more, after all, she didn't care that much about this.

What she didn't know was that if she didn't ask "Do you know me?" but "Have you seen me?", He Yang would give her a completely different answer.

"From today onwards, you will live here. Hua Xu patted her shoulder from behind, "Remember, 24 hours, 'protect' him closely." ”

Nanfeng's shoulders tensed unconsciously, and it took a while to relax, she turned slightly sideways and nodded at Hua Xu.

"I see. ”

So after He Yang took a bath that night, he was shocked to find that there was a female doorman standing at the door of the bathroom.

"Why are you here?!"

"As you can see. ”

Nanfeng replied coldly.

"24 hours close to protect you. ”

- Wait, you're too close, aren't you?!
