At six o'clock in Hakumai City, the sun began to gradually disappear from people's sight, and the weather slowly became cloudy. During this time, the number of pedestrians on the road quietly increased. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows on people's hot skin, which is unusually cool.

The facilities in the old town have not been updated for many years, the iron bars of the Wutong apartment have aged and rusted, most of the wealthy owners have moved out, and the property has long forgotten this neighborhood in a corner of the old town. Fortunately, a few cleaners came to clean it every day, otherwise the old apartment would have been a ruined building.

The eighteenth unit building has two rooms, only one house is shared by three people, and the owner of the other house sold the house at a low price and moved out of the Wutong community.

"If Shi Ember really comes to White Dance City, I'm afraid it will be on fire here. A woman sat on a couch cutting her nails and said to the man sitting next to her watching TV with an indifferent expression.

The woman's name is Bai Luomei, and she is the landlord of this house. The man's name is Su Baiyan, he is her friend, and he can be regarded as a tenant.

Su Baiyan didn't hear of Shi Yan's name, and when he saw that she didn't care, he thought that he probably wasn't a violent character, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and continued to watch his TV.

Bai Luomei knew that he didn't know him, and talking to him about this was like playing the piano to a cow, and he couldn't talk about it at all. I had to lock my eyes on the figure in black short sleeves on the balcony.

"What are you doing standing there, Black Feather?" asked Bai Luomei.

The man known as "Black Feather" had been looking down at the main gate of the Wutong Community, and when he heard someone call him, he replied without looking back: "Ember doesn't have any acquaintances in this White Dance City, and it is said that this mission has taken a long time, so I guess he will come to spend the night with us." ”

"Come on. People were invited down the mountain by the Xu family, and according to the character of the president of the Xu family, he would not even be willing to give away a house?" Bai Luomei immediately rejected his conjecture. She had worked in Xu's family for a few years before, and she still knew something about the president's generosity, and she knew that it was impossible to say something like Hei Yu. If he really likes a person, then a villa must be indispensable, how can he make the person he likes deign to live in a dilapidated place like the Wutong apartment in the old city?

Bai Luomei thought so, and it turned out that she did guess correctly, Xu Jie was indeed generous to the realm of giving away a villa. However, she is only familiar with Xu Jie's style, but she doesn't know Shi Yan's personality. She only guessed one, but she didn't expect the second. As for the second, it was still expected by Black Feather.

Hei Yu shook his head, but he didn't explain anything, he didn't like to argue with others, let alone a woman. He stared silently at the doorway, as if he was sure that Ember would appear in his field of vision within an hour.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting so intensely, Su Baiyan, who was originally indifferent to Shi Yan, was also aroused. The characters that can make Black Feather care, he is a little curious. Su Baiyan approached Bai Luomei and asked curiously, "Is that Shi Shen your friend or enemy?"

Su Baiyan was silently reciting in his heart when he asked this sentence, it is best not to be an enemy or enemy, otherwise everyone will be uncomfortable.

"We've done missions together before, so we're friends. ”

"Then is he very powerful?" Hearing that he was not an enemy, Su Baiyan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

Bai Luomei lowered her head and continued to cut her nails, her expression was not painful or itchy, and there was no wave on her face: "Fortunately, it's just a god clan with a mandarin duck physique." ”

“……”

In the past few years, the Divine Realm has been declining day by day under the leadership of the Divine Emperor, and the status of the Immortals in the Six Realms has become more and more mediocre. Indeed, there is nothing great about the Protoss. It's just that...... Why did she add a "Mandarin Duck Physique" in front of the Protoss?! That thing was casual, "It's okay...... That's it?!"

Su Baiyan was messy.

Hei Yu, who was standing on the edge of the balcony, turned his head, looked at the two people on the sofa expressionlessly, and said to him: "You don't have to pay attention to her, she doesn't even know what a mandarin duck physique is, and you can't tell her what it is." ”

A chill began to feel outside the house, and a cool breeze gently blew in and blew on his cold face. It's rare to have such a cool touch on the hot and dry weather, and Kuroba only hopes that it won't rain today.

In fact, Kuroba is not the only one who hopes that it will not rain, and the figure standing at the main gate at the moment does not like rainy days, at least not today.

"Well," said Black Feather, pointing to the figure at the gate, "he's coming." ”

When Ember arrived, the security guard in the guard room was dozing off on a wooden table. There are basically no residents in this community, and thieves will only come here to steal unless they are blind.

The broken door was open, rubbing on the ground and squeaking, and it was difficult to see people passing by at the door, let's call it a person, after all, it was impossible to see piles of people here.

Shi Ember glanced towards the guard's room, and there seemed to be no sound inside.

The environment in the community is comparable to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, with ruins and ruins. Even the stone statue of a sycamore standing in front of the gate was corroded to the point that it lacked arms and legs.

He calmly walked inside, Nine-Tails following behind and looking at the brutal scene around him, finally fixing his eyes on the iconic Sycamore statue.

"What do you have in mind?" Shi asked as he walked. He seemed to be used to living in the ruins of the building, and he didn't care about the terrible environment around him.

The Nine-Tails stared at the stone sculpture without blinking, and replied, "Compared to the luxurious buildings, the environment here can only be described as dirty and messy. I'm a little curious as to why you'd rather live in this old house than turn down a villa. ”

Shi Ember smiled, but did not answer.

Of course, he can't live in a villa, and the reason for this is naturally not because of the explanation he made in front of Rong Nan and Xu Jie, the so-called self-humility is all polite words on the surface, God knows how much he loves money. But as a person with a special profession, you must have a degree of love for money, and you can't blindly rush into the eyes of money, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will only let yourself die without a place to be buried.

Although Xu Jie is Shi Yan's gold owner, this is the first time the two have cooperated after all, living in the villa he gave him is tantamount to being monitored and controlled by him every minute of his life, and Shi Shen is not a fool.

"Do you really have any friends living here?" Nine-Tails looked at him questioningly, two big "disbelief" written on his face.

A scheming boy like him, he prefers to believe that he just doesn't want to live in a villa and has a random reason to make it up.

"Of course. ”

Shi Ember bluntly rejected its speculation, and when he said this, they had already walked in front of an old-fashioned private building, he pointed to the mossy dormitory building in front of him, and said to it: "On the eighteenth floor of this building, there is only one apartment with people living in it, and my friend lives in that dormitory. ”

After saying that, he raised his steps and prepared to go inside, but the Nine-Tails had been standing there for a long time and did not follow.

"What's wrong?" Shi Shen asked, looking back.

Nine-Tails looked at him with an embarrassed face, and asked with a slight tremor in his lips, "Are you sure that people can really live here?"

Moss only grows in dark, damp areas, which does provide shady conditions for moss to grow in terms of light. But it's damp...... A house with ice is defined as a dangerous building, so what should be defined as a damp house?

Except for being inexplicably jealous and angry, he knew everything it was thinking about.

"Don't worry. Shi Shen comforted: "It's impossible to collapse." ”

"I don't know if it's going to collapse, but I know it's going to collapse. ”

“……”

Shi Ember held his forehead, he felt that his way of thinking with the Nine-Tails was not in the same world at all.

It's impossible for the Nine-Tails to live in a house that will collapse at any moment, living in fear. The poor environment is acceptable, and it has lived in worse environments than this. But the mossy walls of the house...... It's kind of scary. Its primordial spirit has not been completely repaired, and if such steel and concrete are directly smashed on it, it may not return to the moment of its human form in its life.

It already vaguely felt that its primordial spirit had almost recovered, and if it was abandoned in front of this, then it would really be the saddest fox in the world.

It refuses to lift its feet, and it is not a way to stalemate like this. In order not to delay what he was going to do next, Shi Ember had to resort to a killer move.

He began to explain to it casually, and then, while it was listening carefully, he rushed up and grabbed its abdomen, turned his backhand, and held it directly in his arms.

"!! at the time of the surname"

"For the husband. ”

"If you dare to take me up, I promise I won't pay attention to you again!"

"Do you mean it?" Shi Ember didn't seem to be afraid that it would ignore him, and laughed sheepishly.

Nine-Tails gritted his teeth and affirmed, "Of course!"

"Oh. Shi Shen nodded indifferently and continued: "Wait until you have done what you said fifteen years ago. ”

After saying that, he ignored all its resistance and walked straight into this moss-covered "dangerous building".

In fact, when I went upstairs next, the Nine-Tails was not so noisy. What I said fifteen years ago...... Didn't you just promise to marry him? Why is this guy still using things from so long ago as a shield?

The illumination of the unit building is not enough, there is no pedestrian on the dark corridor, and the silence makes people inexplicably empty, occasionally blowing in a gust of wind from the windowsill of the corridor, and the thick sound sounded on the narrow corridor, and there is a sense of misconception of shooting the midnight bell against the background of this pitch black. The hot air was blowing in his face, mixed with an unpleasant smell, and Nine-Tails couldn't stand it and buried his head in his arm.

He hugged it tightly to his chest, fearing that it would be frightened, and deliberately found a topic to distract it: "This building is indeed dangerous, but do you know why I am so sure that it will not collapse?"

"Why?"

"Because the people who live in it," he quickened his pace, "are not people." ”
