The voice suddenly rose loud and calm, and the source of the sound also came from all directions. Xia Ran was also shocked by this voice, but quickly regained his composure, he understood that this room was not a simple secret room, and the equipment used for monitoring was also arranged in the dark, and all his performances just now were secretly seen by others.

This surprised Xia Ran, but also a little relieved, because it was obvious that he was very lucky, Baili was not the real person in charge here, and the appearance of the real person in charge meant that things might have some room to maneuver.

When Baili heard this voice, his expression also calmed down, but his face was still full of fierce coldness, and Xia Ran at this time had undoubtedly become an enemy in his eyes.

At this time, I only heard the steady voice in the room again, judging from the timbre, it was undoubtedly a man in the middle of the year.

"Mr. Xia Ran can not only turn the clouds and rain in the virtual world, but also the courage and skills in reality should not be underestimated, if he is a hero. ”

Xia Ran smiled faintly and said: "I don't dare to be a hero or anything, it's just a reckless, just a mud leg who was born in Liujie and grew up in Liujie." ”

"Mr. Xia is modest, if you don't dislike it, please go into the inner room for a while. ”

Xia Ran blinked his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"Bailey, you lead the way for Mr. Xia. ”

Bailey didn't dare to be the slightest vague about the order, and then nodded yes. However, the corner of his eyes still swept over Xia Ran's body, and Xia Ran only smiled slightly, as if he coughed lightly in embarrassment, and Xiao Jie in the dark also understood this, and stopped in the secret space.

Baili walked to the secret door where the old gull entered, swept his palm on the wall, and the scanner hidden in it had already read her fingerprint information, and with a rumbling sound, the secret door had already hit.

"Please!" Bai Li raised his eyebrows in front of the secret door and said to Xia Ran, no matter how uneasy Xia Ran was in his heart, he could only walk forward hard, and said lightly offended, and then Xia Ran stepped into the secret door.

The corridor between the two dark rooms is not too long, only seven or eight steps away Xia Ran came to the door of the next dark room, when Xia Ran walked into the room, he subconsciously squinted his eyes, compared to the previous room, the light here is really a little dazzling.

The room is set in a similar way to the one in front of it, but compared to the cellar-like design of the former, it is more close to life.

The spacious darkroom room is lined with several wooden Bogu shelves, and although Xia Ran is not familiar with these, judging from the delicate and beautiful lacquer carvings on the Bogu shelves, it must be very expensive. There are some antiquities and artworks on the Bogu shelves, which are not very many, but the style is perfectly integrated with the whole room, elegant and without a sense of luxury.

In the center of the room is also a set of wooden lacquer carved tables and chairs, and on the low table in the center are placed several bowls of tea sets and a small incense burner, and the gray and white smoke will drift out of the incense burner, which has a kind of mystery and illusion from the sight and smell sense.

Natsuran looked around the room, and there were four people in the entire room. At the central table and chair sat three people, while the other sat in a relatively dark corner, unable to see their faces.

The person sitting in the center is an older man, although he is heroic between his eyebrows, but the wrinkles on his face and eyelids cannot hide the vicissitudes of time.

When Xia Ran walked into the room, the old man waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia Ran, please take a seat." ”

Xia Ran groaned for a while and then sat on a wooden chair, when he just sat down, suddenly the eyes of the person sitting in the corner released a sharp light, Xia Ran was shocked by this light, but soon Xiao Jie's voice sounded in his head.

"I was discovered. ”

Xia Ran was surprised by this, but he quickly understood that the person sitting in the corner should also be a blasphemous, and his strength must be strong. This made Xia Ran, who had a lot of confidence, feel nervous.

After Xia Ran sat down, his eyes looked at the other two, one male and one female, the man was the old gull that Shicai had seen, and the other woman was a young and beautiful woman, who looked less than thirty years old.

Xia Ran, who had begun to adapt to the ambient lighting, suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was very familiar, and after being a little stunned, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Cuckoo?"

At this time, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Mr. Xia Ran really has some magical powers, and he still remembers me." ”

I think that Hugo had asked Xia Ran to investigate a lot of information about the cuckoo in the flowing street, and when Xia Ran conducted a separate investigation later, he also had a special investigation for it, and it was precisely because of these materials that Xia Ran discovered the connection between Mr. Du and the Vita family, and it was also because of this that Xia Ran wanted to get the "Sword of Breaking the Net" from here, but he definitely didn't expect that the cuckoo would really be here. In this way, the reason why Lao Ou appeared here is by no means as simple as his golden basin washing his hands.

Du Juan looked at Xia Ran's surprised expression and said, "There is no need to have any suspicions, the reason why I am here is really just a coincidence, just like I didn't think you would come here." ”

As he spoke, the cuckoo gently cocked a slender long leg on the other leg, and his graceful demeanor was fully revealed, and it had to be said that it was definitely a stunner that made men crazy.

"I came to the metropolitan area not long ago because of some things, and as you know, my stepfather has started to take care of some of the business to me. Everything was going well, but just as I was planning to leave, you and Hugo caused that earth-shattering event in the East Island. At that time, the entire metropolitan area entered the highest level of security, and then the Skynet system was also opened more comprehensively. My route back to Stream Street was completely blocked, so I had to stay here for the time being to bother Mr. Capone. With that, the cuckoo nodded respectfully to the old man in the center.

The old man named Capone smiled slightly, and his eyes were full of love for his back.

"As long as Miss Du doesn't dislike it, she can stay as long as she wants. Then Capone turned to Xia Ran and said, "Miss Du really stayed here because of this, but she was not forced to stay by the old man." This sentence can also be regarded as a ridicule of Shicai Baili to forcibly leave Xia Ran behind, and Shicai's stiff atmosphere was alleviated a lot by his words.

Then Capone nodded to Bailey and said, "It's not early, you go and rest." Baili wanted to say something, but swallowed back the words to his lips, nodded reluctantly, and then left.

After sending Baili away, Capone said to Xia Ran: "There is no one else here, if you want to ask the little friend who has been hiding to come out and talk about it." ”

His hole cards were completely touched by the other party, which made Xia Ran extremely disappointed, but at this time, he must not give up.

Xia Ran smiled slightly: "My friend is a shy person, and he will be very uncomfortable in the face of too many people." ”

Capone nodded and said, "I see, I understand. ”

At this time, the old gull had already poured a cup of tea for Xia Ran and put it in front of Xia Ran, Xia Ran never thought that he would one day be able to be served by this old snake head one after another, and it was enough to borrow the prestige of the Vita family.

Capone said: "I have also heard the conversation between Mr. Shicai and the little girl in the outer room, and I can see that Mr. Xia Ran is bound to come to the 'Sword of Breaking the Net' this time. ”

The word "inevitable" in this sentence is really heartfelt, and it also reveals Capone's warning.

The current Xia Ran naturally did not regress, otherwise not only would the previous efforts be completely wasted, but the situation after that would be very unfavorable to him.

Xia Ran didn't answer Capone in a hurry, but picked up the teacup handed over by the old gull and tasted it slowly. Xia Ran's original intention was not to be arrogant, but to think about it in the process. But his behavior was tantamount to giving Capone a slap that was neither soft nor hard, which made the whole atmosphere of the scene become embarrassing, and even the face of the cuckoo, who had a flat expression before, also changed, although as a fellow villager from the street, Cuckoo did not have the slightest friendship for Xia Ran, but at this time Capone was very likely to involve this dissatisfaction on himself, and for a while Cuckoo was eager to kill Xia Ran with one shot.

Xia Ran also quickly realized his gift, but at this time he didn't care a lot, fortunately he was not stupid enough to keep being stupid, and after a few sips of tea, he put the cup in his hand on the coffee table and praised: "Good tea! Although I am not a person who can taste tea, I can also feel the quality of Mr. Capone's tea, and I take the liberty of asking if this is Japanese tea?"

Capone smiled slightly: "It's Chinese tea." ”

Xia Ran immediately smiled and said, "Sure enough, this unique taste can only be cultivated by the natural ancient land, and it is difficult for the land of Moon Island to produce such a taste." ”

Capone said: "You can see that you are an elegant man by this sentence. ”

Xia Ran said: "Mr. Capone always praises me, I said that I am just a mud leg who grew up in the street. Then Xia Ran smiled and said, "Of course, Miss Cuckoo is different from Lao Ou's predecessors. ”

After seeing Xia Ran's self-deprecation, Du Juan quickly picked up the conversation: "Mr. Xia is not wrong, we people are indeed just mud legs. I still remember the smell of the street near my home when I was a child, and many people said that I was slim and in good shape, but I didn't know that it was really hard to swallow food every day in that environment. ”

Lao Ou also quipped: "I have been begging for food in blisters since I was a child, and the fishy smell on my body cannot be removed after so many years. ”

Lao Ou's words made several people present laugh, and the atmosphere began to ease intentionally.

Capone said: "Heroes have suffered a lot since ancient times, and they are young men. Although the environment of Liujie is harsh, the talents it cultivates and breed are also what can be created in the metropolitan area, and I think my Weta family is also an old family in Tsukishima, but it is not as good as one generation after another. If my descendants can be as good as your little friends, I will die without regrets. ”

The four of them gave each other enough face, and the atmosphere finally returned to harmony.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Ran also thought of his words, and said to Capone: "Mr. Capone is serious, the strength of the Weta family is obvious to everyone, and in addition to the Moon God lineage, it must be the Weta family." It is also because of this that I have the cheekiness to visit this time, I didn't want to bother you, but this matter also forced me to be desperate, so I also ask you to help. ”

The ball was finally kicked at Capone's feet, although Xia Ran said it very respectfully, but these respectful and polite were only superficial, Capone understood that Xia Ran was by no means something he could send away with a sentence or two, and he didn't want to use any way to send Xia Ran, he naturally had his own plan.

Capone said: "If people are not gods, how can they be without difficulty." Especially recently, the situation of Mr. is indeed delicate, and he has to face earth-shattering difficulties to do earth-shattering things. After that, Capone looked at Xia Ran with deep meaning: "I know that Mr. is not an outsider, and he was forced to come forward this time, it seems that it is indeed difficult." ”

At this time, Xia Ran finally fully understood what the other party meant, the reason why he was treated so favorably throughout the night, and being treated by others was not out of his own ability to respect, everyone was afraid of the person behind Xia Ran, that is, Hugo.

Now Xia Ran has a deep "Hugo brand" on his body, and his actions no longer have a single purpose, but reflect Hugo's attitude on the one hand.

In the past, Hugo was nothing in the eyes of some big names, but after his appearance on the East Island, he has become a pivotal figure. In the eyes of ordinary people, Hugo is a new human being, a destabilizing factor that threatens his safety. But in the eyes of some, Hugo has become a force that must not be ignored, and until Hugo dies, Hugo's will will greatly affect the direction of the future.

At this time, Xia Ran finally understood that the hole card in his hand was not Xiaojie hiding in the dark to protect him, but Hugo, who had been missing for a while and was about to look for him.

At this time, Xia Ran finally realized the power and importance of Hugo, even if he was not by his side, he could have a profound impact on himself.

This should be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger.

Xia Ran sighed in her heart and continued to maintain a silent state, just smiling slightly to hide the pride in her heart. Immediately he also understood what Capone meant, and he wanted to get to know Hugo through himself, or to meet Hugo.

If Xia Ran told Capone that Hugo had been missing for a long time at this time, and that he had come here to seek the "Sword of Breaking the Net" in order to find clues to Hugo, then Capone would inevitably refuse his request, and maybe reward himself with a few shots, but he must not do this!

Thoughts flashed through the lightning in Xia Ran's mind, and he finally had an idea.

Xia Ran continued to maintain the smile she had just made, and then said unhurriedly to Capone, "As I said before, my goal is only the Land of the Free. ”
