Chapter 2: The Demon King Who Challenges the Limit of Pleasing Adults
At this moment, it seems like just a coffee shop owner's usual self-introduction.
Lin Xiu and Garthasis's eyes looked at each other extremely naturally.
Lin Xiu nodded politely in response, with the same clarity and calmness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Garthersis' sea-blue eyes deepened without a trace...... Turning his head, his gaze swept over the three ashen girls, spoke again, and dropped a bomb-
"I did come out for another reason, and I found that these three ladies seemed to have been eroded by the negative smell of filth. "Garthersis is not amazing!
Hearing this, Zheng Wenhan definitely took a lot of effort to resist the surprised movement of his facial muscles. Is this a confession of the suspect's own accord? Is it a little too open-minded? Or is there something else to hide?...... In any case, it is not wrong to gather more information.
Thinking of this, Zheng Wenhan raised his hand, and seeing that Lin Xiu did not object, he made a gesture of "please sit" and said, "It's really a surprising reason." Well, it may seem strange to say this to the owner as a guest, but if Mr. Hill doesn't mind, let's sit down and talk. ”
"Of course not. Garthasis said, and then finally sat down next to Lin Xiu.
Speaking of which, because Lin Xiu's actual military rank and position are still secret, in the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Wenhan is higher than Lin Xiu in terms of military rank and age. So, at least on the surface, Zheng Wenhan is the "leader".
"Zheng Wenhan. Since he wanted to talk, the other party had already introduced himself first, and Zheng Wenhan simply said his name.
"Lin Xiu. "Lin Xiu is the same.
"Lin Xiu......" Garthasis's smile deepened, and this low repetition seemed to have an indescribable taste, "I've wanted to see you for a long time, and it's actually easy to recognize you...... Major Lin of the Department of Electronic Information has really admired his name for a long time in this area of the frontier. ”
"Mr. Hill is polite. Lin Xiu greeted him. Was it his delusion? He always felt that the man in front of him, Garthersis Hill, seemed to have something unusual in his words.
"It's really not a kind word when I say that I have admired the name for a long time. Garthersis smiled charmingly, "To be honest, some time ago, I was very interested in the application field of electronic information and virtual simulation, don't look at me like this, I am an amateur member of seven international societies, and I still have a good understanding of Major Lin's research." Recently, I purchased the 300th anniversary commemorative collection of siggraph, and I benefited a lot from reading it in one sitting. Last year, I said that the explosive research results of siggraph, those simulation jù compression algorithms, were published, which is really fascinating. ”
"Mr. Hill also likes siggraphs?" Lin Xiu was really surprised.
"Well, the favorite of all the learning organizations. ”
"I also enjoyed attending this conference the most. Lin Xiu said that although he was still unsmiling, it was not difficult to see that he had indeed become more emotional.
"So, it's not a kind word. ”
"Not really. ”
"By the way, at last year's siggraph, Major Lin and Professor Baker recorded the discussion record on the optimization direction of the simulation number, I think...... ,......," said Garthersis, smiling even brighter.
"It seems that Mr. Hill's professionalism is completely enough to sign up for a doctorate. Really interesting idea,...... ,......" Lin Xiu nodded and said with great empathy.
"......" Zheng Wenhan.
No, that's not the point, the point is, what's going on...... is this? Well, although he had known for a long time that under the handsome and stern face of his captain was the fiery heart of an academic madman, the topic had also turned a little too quickly and too hotly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lin Xiu to seem to notice Zheng Wenhan's entanglement, and he paused lightly and finally stopped the academic topic like a wild horse: "I met Mr. Hill tonight, and I hate to see you late, but now is really not a convenient time, and I must talk about it again next time I have the opportunity." With that, he straightened his collar with his hand.
"Okay, that's a deal. For Lin Xiu's mentions, Garthersis also looked satisfied.
At the same time, Zheng Wenhan on the other side saw Lin Xiu's code words by sorting out his collar: Test OK, Mr. Hill's suspicion of being a "ghost" has been lifted.
When is the test ok, when is the test done, and how is it tested?...... Well, no.
How can the two of them also have a tacit understanding between the captain and the vice-team, Zheng Wenhan was a little puzzled and then realized very entangledly. In other words, it was the series of frenzied discussions just now that confirmed that "if you choose someone who knows so much about the wonderful field of electronic information and virtual simulation applications, it is unlikely that you will choose a student in the Department of Electronic Information."
Somehow Cheng dù said that this Mr. Hill is really a talent, and he actually reached such a harmonious relationship with the "boring" captain so quickly.
Zheng Wenhan found that after this prompt, he suddenly thought of a good way for Lin Xiu to communicate with his subordinates, that is, let the brothers all go to study Lin Xiu's academic field! Everyone can quickly discover that although the captain has terrifying powers comparable to weapons of mass destruction, under the unsmiling alienated appearance, he is actually willful and straightforward, young and cute...... Wrong, maybe it's better to describe it as lively and kind...... Uh, it's still a little cold, that's pretty much what it means anyway.
It's a pity that the wishes are beautiful, the reality is cruel, there are only a few soldiers left in the team, and a few can calm down and study those...... Something that even he didn't understand.
Zheng Wenhan waved away the tandem thoughts that flashed in his mind, and saw that Zhao Xiaoya on the other side suddenly turned his face to face the window, and felt that Zhao Xiaoya probably thought of the same thing as him. The girl's expression concentration has always been relatively poor.
Indeed, after Zhao Xiaoya noticed Lin Xiu's code words, she also thought of a similar explanation, and even couldn't help but think about it. Although she is only a member of the second team of the "Balance Shield" special forces, and she is still in training and learning, as a beautiful person in the second team, her analytical ability is definitely not bad.
Zhao Xiaoya cared about her younger sister and was also very concerned about Garsesse's words, so after Lin Xiu confirmed Garsesse's innocence, she asked a question that she had wanted to ask for a long time: "What did the store manager just say, 'filthy negative breath' mean ......? Could it be that Store Manager Hill is a superpower?" In fact, Zhao Xiaoya's question has an advantage, that is, it can make it more convenient for Lin Xiu and Zheng Wenhan to observe the reactions of the people around them to the topic of "ghosts" at the first time. The target is mostly around.
"I'm not a superpower. Garthersis replied. According to the definition here of Blue Star, he really doesn't have superpowers that only humans have, "But I have my own way, come and ask about the situation, maybe I can help a little." ”
Come and help?Zhao Xiaoya was a little surprised by the follow-up purpose of Garsis.
“…… Can you really help us?" At this moment, one of the three girls who had not spoken until now opened her mouth, and her weak voice was visibly excited. She felt that it was so right to cheekily pull her senior sister to accompany them tonight.
The three girls seem to be more energetic than just now, speaking of which, everyone has a love for beauty, although they are in a worrying situation, but they continue to see the eye-catching picture, their mood has improved. At this time, I heard that someone was asking for help, so I naturally felt a little more energetic.
"Yes, I tried my best. Garthersis sure.
"That's it, of course it's not superpowers, how can those superpowers help us catch ghosts, it's already rare for them to do bad things without superpowers. The ponytail girl next to the short-haired girl said.
In this era, because of the first few very unpleasant superpower crimes, there are not a few ordinary people like ponytail girls who are prejudiced against superpowers. In general, superpowers are not a popular group, and they are closely supervised by ordinary people, as can be seen from the content of the "Evening News".
"You can catch ghosts...... Someone who can catch ghosts, are you a legendary Taoist priest?" asked the last big wave □ the kid suddenly.
Taoist?
Those who heard this term at the scene couldn't help but think of the image of wearing a Taijitu robe with their hair coiled in some realities...... It's a little better, it's the cultivator of the fairy wind and Dao bones in some fictional literary and artistic works, but no matter what, compared to the handsome guy store manager in front of him who is dressed in casual clothes and has a pair of charming sea-blue eyes behind crystal glasses, it is really much worse.
Dabo J□J The child was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and she said the hope in her heart by the way, and when she reacted to what she said, she also felt that what she said just now was really inappropriate. Is there any other profession that can catch ghosts, she seems to only know the Taoist priests of country Z.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, Garthersis thought for a moment and said, "Daoist priest?...... Yes, I'm the kind of Taoist priest who can catch ghosts, but I'm an out-of-the-world sect and have nothing to do with the Taoist Association. ”
“…… Really?" Da Bo J□ The child turned from loss to surprise, "I heard that the best people in the world are the best. ”
"Of course it's true. Garthersis said, only to see him raise his hand in front of him, and with a movement, he actually took out a stack of paper talismans out of nowhere.
took out three and handed them to the three people, and then took out three and handed them to Lin Xiu, Zheng Wenhan, Zhao Xiaoya, and for the rest, he simply pressed the button on the table to call the machine qì person in the store, put the paper note on the tray of the machine qì person, and output the instructions for all the seats.
Zhao Xiaoya held the paper talisman with an undisguised black line on her face. This is really a paper talisman, the cinnabar talisman on it looks decent, carry this kind of thing with you, this Hill store manager can't really be a Taoist priest, right?
Ordinary people don't know, the "Shield of Balances" knows a lot of ancient secrets, and the famous Taoist priests in ancient times should all be superpowers, after all, the power of props is limited, and many so-called ancestral magic weapons are also the products of the blessing of the power of superpowers.
Many of the students around them who were studying on their own had actually been paying attention to their table, and when they received the paper note, many of them also looked at Garthersis with a black line on their faces. Is this handsome foreign store manager really a Taoist priest?
Garsexis didn't care, and continued to say his next proposal: "Why don't we talk in another place, it's not good to scare others, I have the store manager's private room, let's go there to talk, and by the way, you can also invite everyone to drink the store manager's handmade coffee." ”
Zheng Wenhan hesitated slightly, nodded in agreement: "It's okay." ”
Now that it is confirmed that there is basically no problem with Garthersis, it is better to try to find a more convenient place to avoid affecting innocent students. Moreover, when it comes to "ghosts", in fact, many people are still very taboo now, so not to scare others is indeed a point of consideration.
In this way, the seven people changed to the manager's private room, which was relatively independent and more elegantly decorated.
Garthersis makes coffee, and the three girls tell about their experiences of being haunted by "ghosts".
The reason is actually not complicated, that is, in order to be able to get a good score in the entrance placement test in a few days, they moved the idea of asking for help from the "pen fairy". Speaking of which, today's "pen fairy" has changed a lot compared to the last century. The three of them connected their computer terminals to a monitor, and the monitors were randomly scattered with ABCDs, and the three of them worked together to make the cursor draw a line, and the letters crossed out in the order of the lines were the answers to the multiple-choice questions that the "pen fairy" told them. And since midnight a few days ago, they have begun to have all kinds of strange symptoms of being haunted by "ghosts".
"So, who are you talking about the 'pen fairy' game?" asked Zheng Wenhan.
Three girls, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly the short-haired girl seemed to have made some heavy determination: "Yes...... A senior...... The senior said that he couldn't say it, including the things we invited the pen fairy to say, otherwise it would ......"
Just as the short-haired girl said this, suddenly, a male voice from far and near enveloped the entire private room.
"Otherwise, you will be punished! Didn't I say that you can't say it? Women really don't talk about it! But forget it, none of you can escape anyway!"
At the same time, the light in the private room is completely gone!
The three girls had never seen such a scene, and they were so frightened that they immediately fell silent. Is this their auditory hallucination? No, of course not. Now Lin Xiu and the others have heard it. Moreover, they also felt a very large force attacking!
Sneak attack, and there is an A-rank, no, more than A-level attack power!
Lin Xiu frowned slightly, this kind of strength and speed was a bit hasty for Zheng Wenhan, it was estimated that Zheng Wenhan would not be able to open the space in time to block it to shield his superpower reaction level from being discovered by the Super Security Bureau. There is no way, even if the Super Security Bureau detects his superpower reaction and causes chaos halfway, he has to open the protective energy field.
However, just as Lin Xiu was about to release his power, a hand put on his arm, and a thought directly entered his brain: "I have no malice. I just want to tell you that if you put a little bit of power into the rune paper I just gave you, and at the same time urge it, it will be enough to mask your A-level or even higher power reaction. Major Lin didn't want to alarm the troublesome people in the Super Security Bureau. ”
Lin Xiu felt that Garthesis really did not have any strength reaction, so he made a decision instantly, and he chose to believe Garthessis.
The super A-level attack power was weakened by Lin Xiu's protection, and it was already very slow in front of him. Zheng Wenhan attacked half of his side relatively easily, however, to Lin Xiu's surprise, Garthasis did not react, and let the other half of his strength hit him, and in an instant, his shoulders were torn, and blood stained the two people.
And at the moment when Garthersis was injured, Lin Xiu found that the time and space around him and Garthersis stood still. No, or should I say, the two of them entered separate spaces. At this moment, it was as if they were standing in the void through glass from the original world.
"The greater the force of my 'paper symbol', the better the effect. Garthersis explained.
Lin Xiu nodded, did not answer the topic, but looked at Garthesis and the blood on his body and said, "Your Excellency's ability will not be impossible to dodge." ”
"Definitely. Garthersis smiled and let go of the hand that had just grabbed Lin Xiu in order to directly convey his thoughts, "It's just that I'm so close to you, and when I haven't gained mutual trust yet, I think it's better not to use power casually." ”
"Even so, I think Your Excellency's ability can be completely unharmed. ”
Hearing this, Garthersis was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled, smiling so that his sea-blue eyes were crooked, very sunny, and even more with a wild and fiery sexy.
"Haha, should I say that Lin Xiu is really Lin Xiu. Actually, I heard that the bitter meat trick can make people soft-hearted, so I did this. ”
"Why bother dyeing blood?" Lin Xiu still didn't understand, "After entering this separated time and space, I finally confirmed it. Your Excellency is indeed not a superpower, but you have such power...... You are really generous to be able to so easily cover the space-time manipulation power of S-class superpowers, as well as this 'demonic energy' that does not belong to the world. ”
Garthersis smiled, as if waiting for Lin Xiu's answer.
"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Demon, should I say, 'Welcome to the world'?"
"Then I should have said 'excuse me'. Garthersis said this, indirectly acknowledging his identity.
"I didn't expect you to have a good sense of humor. Lin Xiu was silent on the surface, but he had to admit that this kind of scene and development was definitely the most unstable he had ever seen since he was born. As one of the few S-level in the world, he knows very well what level of existence the demon king is.
Thinking of the secret of a certain secret, Lin Xiu decided to further test the reaction of this Demon King: "Then, I can rudely ask, Mr. Demon King will not come to the world to help catch 'ghosts'." ”
"What if, I say yes. ”
Lin Xiu shook his head: "I would think you were joking. ”
"This is no joke. Since the bitter meat trick really didn't work for you......" Garthersis raised his hand and sucked his blood out of Lin Xiu's clothes, "I'm sorry that the blood has polluted you, but the blood that stains your breath is still somewhat useful." ”
Lin Xiu was puzzled.
Garthersis smiled, restraining the blood he had sucked out, and when he opened his palm, a blood-red earring appeared in the palm of his hand.
"As a testimony of my oath to you. Garthersis said softly, raising his hand to put the stud on his left ear, and it was a bright red again. At this moment, Lin Xiu didn't know the oath of the left earring: You are my favorite.
At this point, Lin Xiu's expression still did not change significantly, however, Garthasis's stimulation did not seem to be over, I saw him take a step forward, and suddenly grabbed Lin Xiu's shoulder firmly when Lin Xiu was completely unprepared, and covered Lin Xiu's with his lips.
