Chapter 128: I, Mu Bai, Stainless Steel Straight Man [Second Update!Ask for Subscription!]
At night, the red light district is red and yellow.
The red is light, and the yellow is not suitable for children.
At this time, there was no moonlight and starlight in the sky of the hair salon street, and this area, which was completely dark, was shrouded in various red lights.
Mu Bai and Leng Xuan walked side by side on this long and narrow street.
"Before that werewolf escaped, he said something about your hometown is about to be bombed, what do you mean?"
When it comes to the confidential content of the secret department, Mu Bai directly changes the topic.
"It's possible that it used to play Happy Fight, and the landlord was bombed by an awakened person from the secret department, so I hold a grudge......
"Do monsters also play happy landlords?"
"This one really has. β
looked at Mu Bai's expression...... Leng Xuan really believed it.
She has a new problem.
"This sword of yours...... How the hell did you get here? You haven't told me yet...... It stands to reason that would-be awakened during the internship period won't be issued with an awakening weapon, right? Besides, didn't you tell me that your awakening talent is D-rank? and you shouldn't be given an A-level awakening weapon......
Mu Bai's answer was brief.
"Borrowed. β
"Borrow...... of?"
A figure appeared in Leng Xuan's mind.
Curious, she asked, "Is the relationship between the two of you so good?" It is said that the front-line awakened in the night bureau can lend their weapons to their colleagues, which represents absolute trust. And most of the time, this situation only happens between the same sex, and the opposite sex is rare, so I think that if Yanagi is willing to lend you his weapon, then ......"
Mu Bai interrupted her.
"Why does it only happen between people of the same sex? It's rare to see the opposite sex? Where did you hear that?"
"I saw it on the Internet...... You haven't been on the Awoken forums yet, have you?"
Mu Bai has heard of the Awakened Forum, which is a website that only the Awakened are qualified to log in, mainly to provide the Awakened with a place to communicate without the existence of ordinary people. Although it is the official background of the secret department, in fact, you can use this site regardless of whether you are in the secret department or not.
Because he hasn't turned regular yet, the account permissions in the forum are only basic permissions, and all you can see are some public sections, which are full of all kinds of gossip about the awakened.
He is not interested in gossiping, and he rarely goes to the forum of the Awakened.
"Can you believe the things here? A place where a group of people who eat melons discuss gossip......
"Of course you can!Although there is a lot of gossip in the basic section,There are a lot of dry goods.,You should know?Users can choose whether to be anonymous or not.,If it's not anonymous,The identity shown must be the real identity certified by the secret department.,I only knew this when I saw a popular science post by a Night Execution Awakened user before.γ β
Leng Xuan said: "There is this phenomenon between the same sex because the same gender is naturally easy to get along. But if the opposite sex lends their own awakening weapons, there must be other factors besides comradeship......"
Mu Bai did not immediately deny Leng Xuan's statement.
Because he thinks what Leng Xuan said makes sense.
The guy who is willing to lend out his life is definitely impossible if it weren't for the unconditional trust.
But actually...... This ink-black heavy sword was given to him by Liu Xiaoyan through the back door.
If she really went to Liu Xiaoyan to borrow a sword, would she lend it to herself?
Such a question made Mu Bai a little troubled.
But he didn't think too much about it, and after the thought flashed away, he said his answer to Leng Xuan's explanation.
"How do you know that there is no other factor between the same sex except comradeship? Working on the front line of the night bureau, which is not the master who licks blood all day long, it is inevitable that there are some psychological problems, there is a report before that said that the probability of in the night bureau is much higher than that of other departments. β
After a pause, Mu Bai continued: "In other words, what you think of as the comradeship between the same sex is actually quite likely to be based on the relationship. β
Leng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then walked up to Mu Bai with an even more surprised expression and stood still: "Could it be ...... You're a, too, so why did you lend you this sword......
"never say they're in front of others, and people who aren't will pretend to be in order to make it easier to have a good relationship with girls they have known for a long time, but I'm different. β
Mu Bai sighed: "I should be a stainless steel straight man." β
"Brother ...... steadily"
The two continued to walk forward, and when they passed the entrance of an alley with no people and no street lights, the figure of parallel bars flashed out from the depths of the alley.
"Brother Bai, I have figured it out, there are more than a dozen monsters with demonic energy that have been exposed at present, and I don't know if they have not been exposed for the time being. β
Mu Bai stopped and nodded at the parallel bars in the shadows.
Then, he turned to look at Leng Xuan.
"Leng Xuan, your previous task should have been able to be completed with the information given by the parallel bars, right?"
Leng Xuan paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's ...... It's done.,When I felt like the demon energy flashed and disappeared before.,It's already possible to upload it as information to complete the mission.γ β
"Uh...... That's ......."
Leng Xuan nodded to Mu Bai, looking a little silly, without the usual big sister's momentum.
When she was patiently waiting for Mu Bai's next step, the next came to her.
Very suddenly.
"And what are you doing here?"
Leng Xuan was stunned.
It took her a while to react: "Let's go together...... Monster hunting......"
"Ahem...... With all due respect, Leng Xuan, although your talent level is higher than mine, C-level, it doesn't mean that your combat power is higher than mine......"
"I have a lever to help, and it's not a big problem to deal with the rest of these monsters, but if you're here, in case something happens, and I happen to fail to take care of you, it's not good......"
"So ......"
Before Leng Xuan finished listening to Mu Bai's words, she already roughly understood what the other party meant.
People are saying that she is dragging oil bottles......
But...... It may not be possible that it is because Mu Bai is concerned about his own safety, so he uses this kind of statement to let himself leave the dangerous place?
Thinking of this, a trace of warmth rose in Leng Xuan's heart: "I understand what you mean......"
As soon as she was halfway through her words, Mu Bai had already spoken.
"Yes...... If I talk to the leverage, there shouldn't be any problem with it, but with you, it will be difficult......"
Leng Xuan froze, and then nodded stupidly.
Mu Bai patted her on the shoulder: "There is a subway entrance outside, you should still be able to catch the last subway, don't take an online car-hailing, you are a girl who is not safe at night......"
β¦β¦
on the subway.
Leng Xuan looked down at her phone in frustration.
There was a photo on her phone, which she had taken secretly when Mu Bai suddenly appeared to help her get rid of the werewolf.
No matter how strong Leng Xuan's "neutral old lady style" is, she is a girl after all, and when she was a girl, she did not fantasize about the appearance of a "prince" stepping on colorful auspicious clouds or riding a white horse to put her in danger.
And this seems to be a story that only appears in fairy tales, and it really happened to her tonight.
Of course, Mu Bai is not a prince, and the parallel bars are not colorful auspicious clouds or white horses, but the artistic conception is similar.
But...... The plot after being rescued did not follow the fairy tale, but had a hint of a dark fairy tale.
"It's not safe for girls to play online car-hailing at night......"
"But the old lady is an awakened person! whichever ride-hailing driver has the courage will die!"
"The most angry thing is...... Why, I really caught the last subway ......."
"I actually told the old lady so bluntly that the old lady was dragging the oil bottle......"
"Although it is...... But the old lady is a girl after all!
"Are you really you, a stainless steel straight man......"
Leng Xuan had a special feeling.
That feeling is calledβ
I wanted to cry, but no tears flowed.
β¦β¦
Two minutes.
Yes, in just two minutes, Mu Bai gave all the monsters on the street of the hair salon who showed their demonic aura ......
"Look" is dead.
As soon as the golden pupils came out, they all knelt down, which was very easy.
"Ganggang, don't steal the car this time, move it home one by one, if you can't fit it, you can chop it, and if you can't chop it, you can't fit it...... Hmmm......"
"You ask Wu Yongchu to think of a way to see if he can buy a cold storage, there should be a few million in this card, let you here, and get this done tonight." β
"Although we have more than a dozen heads, there should be some left here. The monsters under the bare hands have all run to the side of the bureau, so there are some shrimp soldiers and crab generals here, and the electricity in your body should be more than enough to electrocute them, so ...... The rest of these monsters, please leave it to you to deal with, and remember, no casualties are allowed on this street. β
The parallel bars nodded again and again, and finally asked, "Brother Bai, what about you?"
Mu Bai looked at his phone and didn't speak immediately.
The mobile phone shows the monitoring screen of the periphery of the sub-bureau, in fact, he is not qualified to enter the intranet to see this thing during the internship period, but Wu Yong's account is okay.
In the picture, the sub-bureau has already begun a scuffle.
Because the General Directorate seems to have sent a large number of reinforcements, the Awakened have the upper hand at this time.
But Mu Bai did not take this lightly.
He didn't see the White Wolf King appear in the demon group, and his intuition told him that the second wave of demon group general attack, such as the White Wolf King, an "elite" level monster, should not be hidden.
He's hurrying back.
Although he is now in terrible shape.
The pain from the backlash is still there everywhere in his body, and the ability to stop time can only work for three seconds, and maintaining the energy of these three seconds is already the limit of what he can bear when he is currently suffering from backlash.
But even so, he had to go back.
In the picture, Liu Xiaoyan is fighting the demons with a nervous face.
The ink-black heavy sword in her hand, which was the same as Mu Bai's, had been dyed purple.
Mu Bai put the phone back in his pocket and touched a bar in front of the parallel bars.
"I'd like to ask your sister Xiaoyan if she can lend me her sword. β
"But Brother Bai, don't you already have a sword?"
"Didn't you still look at that some time ago...... Is Sword Art Online coming?The protagonist uses two knives to call the second sword flow, and the hanging flies, so I want to try the second sword flow......"
After saying this, Mu Bai's figure quickly swept towards the location of the sub-bureau.
