Chapter 13: The Depth of Water
"Go to work and wait for the end of work, go to school and stay up after school, three hundred and sixty-five a year, at least three hundred days are exactly the same, can you be bored any longer?"
Most people live in a calm and repetitive daily life, but they always feel that the ordinary is a little boring, a little boring, and it seems that there is something missing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, there is a market for those fictional novels and movies with myths and legends as the cornerstone.
Fantasy stories are made into sequences, urban legends are thrown on the screen, the background of the era in the legendary story is linked to historical figures, the drama becomes more and more similar, and the more lies are said, the more true they become.
Talking, talking, in the gap between fantasy and reality, it seems that there really is such a world, a world that is not so boring.
At the top of a certain building, there is a group of black-clothed people monitoring the city, the handsome guy who sells fritters is the descendant of the exorcist who escapes the evil spirits, and the old woman who has a lot of cats next door is a witch who rides a broom at night.
Sometimes when I look at it, I can't help but think about how good it would be if I was the protagonist of the story, if I also lived in that exciting world.
"Maybe I'm the reincarnation of a princess or prince, maybe an empire outside the galaxy is waiting for me to inherit, maybe that brave summon from another world accidentally summoned the wrong person, maybe there is a door to the fairy tale world hidden under my bed, maybe my baby pet is an injured magister, maybe the charming proprietress of the barbecue restaurant is the thousand-year-old fox fairy in the city, my legend is about to begin, it's not nothing, it's just a few minutes late......."
Perhaps, secretly, many people have had this idea, but they also know that they will be ridiculed if they say it.
And with the growth of years and the polishing of reality, people are also accustomed to distinguishing the distance between entertainment stories and the real world, the wonderful world created by movies and novels is just a short-lived dream of escaping reality, and the real employment pressure and the boring life of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the main themes.
The little brother who sells fritters is still selling fritters, just to mail more living expenses to the old father in his hometown, the coquettish proprietress of the barbecue restaurant is unconsciously out of shape and can't see it, and the old woman who has a cat is just because she is too lonely, her children and grandchildren are in other places, and she has more pets to pass the time.
There are no illusions in life, only boredom and even more boredom, but for Lu Wu, things don't seem quite right from the start.
"If you want to say when you will know that Sun Wukong's three fights against the white bone spirit are just a made-up story, the whole Journey to the West actually has a lot of inside stories, probably ...... When I was about nine years old, on the Buddha said TVB channel, when I saw Tang Sanzang Tang Sanye, who had the title of Buddha, giving a lecture on the truth of 'Journey to the West', I remember that the old monk Fahai, who was laughed at as a 10,000-year-old Arhat, was conscientiously taking notes in the audience, while his apprentice Xu Xianjushi was watching the legend of the new white lady on the iPad, smirking while watching, completely unaware that he was also on TV, and it became the headline of the next day. ”
"When did I know that the story of Santa Claus's guild giving gifts to good children is not true....... probably when I secretly answered my father's phone call and ordered him a luxury toy train combination, and after receiving the toys from my husband himself, I also received expensive sleigh delivery bills from the North Pole to the inland and my father's 'stick roast meat'. In recent years, even Santa Claus has started to make a company and charge services, and it is expensive to death and no returns! ”
"When did you look forward to the fairytale world and even dream of becoming a part of it...... It was probably when my parents, who were career watchmen, came back with a bag full of new gadgets and endless adventure stories. Or, was it when he was considered a once-in-a-century genius of the Longxi Lu family in the eight-year-old soul energy test, and became a hot new star in the industry and the pride of the family? ”
"When was the time when I was full of disgust and even fear for that beautiful and cruel ....... probably seven years ago, when I received the black letter and my parents could never come back? Or six years ago, when he couldn't control his abilities because of fear, and was thrown into the cannon fodder camp by the new owner as useless waste? Or maybe it was from the accident five years ago, because of my incompetence, even the last loved ones .........."
"Guest, guest?"
The sound behind him interrupted Lu Wu's fake sleep, and he suddenly came to his senses.
When I looked up, I saw a staff member who was a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, guest, we're closing."
The little brother in the KFC uniform said as he pointed to his cheek meaningfully.
"Here?"
Looking at the reflection outside the window, Lu Wucai found that there were red marks on his cheeks that he had overslept, and there were traces of water droplets at the corners of his eyes...... Bowing his head and wiping his face, well, there is nothing.
It was already pitch black outside the window, and it seemed that it was late, only the dock area not far away was still lit, and the huge salvage ship was brightly lit, and dozens of searchlights were pointing it in the direction of the night voyage.
"Eleven o'clock?"
It seems that he really overslept, and he was a little embarrassed to thank the kind little brother, and Lu Wu went back directly.
There is definitely no bus stop, and there is no place to stay overnight......... Considering the safety of his life, Xie Shisan didn't have to think about it.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Wu sat in the back seat of the returning taxi, watching the night rain start outside again, and he began to sort out today's harvest - those "big fish" that had been caught.
"........ Dog Master really saved my life this time, this water is indeed ridiculously deep......."
First of all, the people who came were sent by the dog master, and most of them seemed to be ordinary people, but in fact, this kind of peripheral rat whiskers had a high chance of being ordinary people without soul energy.
They didn't walk into the store directly, they just made some preparations in advance, and then talked to the store manager, and then walked into other shops around them as customers....... it seemed that they planned to do the same thing as Lu Wu.
The store managers of this commercial street must be very strange, how did this turnover inexplicably rise so much, perhaps, they should also thank Xiaolong and Lu Wu.
cough, to get back to business, the first batch is the dog master who collects intelligence, and the second batch starts, and it is really an organization and individual who is interested in the Dragon King's lost treasure.
The second group to take the lead, Wang Wuyi, the association's agent in this incident, stayed in the store for about five minutes before leaving.
Judging from Wang Wuyi's excited expression, they should have something to gain.
The third batch is a group of "dog legs".
The dog (戌) in the twelve branches is a big category, guards, bodyguards, guards, detectives and the like can be counted, but there is only one .......profession or an institution that is contemptuously called a dog's leg by the industry.
"Even the people from the 'six subjects' are here, there are twelve people and two squads, I just found out today that there are so many six subjects in Jiangcheng, so I have to be more careful in the future......"
The Sixth Special Service Section of the Special Affairs Handling Division, with its crossed batons and badges, is attached to the police system, but in fact the police have no control over those people.
The most straightforward introduction - the six doors of the previous dynasty, the six branches of the doglegs of the current dynasty, or the most famous of the doglegs....... mad dogs.
Although they have an official background, for some reason, their reputation in the industry is not good....... well, to be precise, it is super bad, how far can ordinary watchmen hide from them, and for unlicensed marginal people like Lu Wu, they are even more nightmarish existences.
Seeing them, even Lu Wu was so frightened that he concentrated on reading and solving problems, and didn't dare to read more.
And judging from the direction they left, they also got clues about that thing, and they might fight with the group of people from the association in the same direction first.
The six sections directly under the government intelligence organization are not the special service teams of the local police department, they don't care about ordinary public security incidents at all, and they in black uniforms will only suddenly appear and disappear with big trouble, leaving a ruin for the local government and associations.
And the six branches are not the only "dog-legged people" that appeared just now.
"The special services directly under the Navy and the Air Force have been dispatched, so is Xiaolong so important?"
The navy and the air force are stationed in Jiangcheng, but the strength in the industry is not strong, and the military dogs have each come to a full team of six people, which can be regarded as a nest dispatch.
Why did Lu Wu know their identities? Even if you get a military vehicle license plate, even if you wear civilian clothes, can ordinary people get a special six-wheeled off-road jeep, this is the standard configuration of military colonel-level officers, can these people use their brains before concealing their identities.
But for Lu Wu, if the appearance of the six branches was just fear, the dispatch of the military dogs was even more meaningful, and even enough to cause panic.
"The veterans of the association, the military special services, and the intelligence department, it can be said that the forces above and below the official side have been dispatched, how big a crisis is this, or how much .......... interests it will be!"
And the thugs of the local gang Candlestick Gang and the independent practitioners who don't recognize it are actually okay to say, the most terrible thing is the last person to appear........
"It's really terrible, how many people have been killed by such a heavy grievance, hundreds? Thousands? Or tens of thousands. ”
When the indifferent man who was more than two meters tall and wearing a gray raincoat appeared, it was obviously a hot summer afternoon, but it felt like he had come to the North Pole in an instant.
The indifferent eyes swept everything around them, the cold coercion was invisible but qualitative, and the legs and feet of the professional watchmen who were targeted by it were weak, which was the natural suppression of the beast when it encountered the beast at the top of the biological chain.
He didn't stay long, just glanced at it and left, leaving something into the restaurant........ as evidenced by the tragic situation that had been blown up into the sky at the time, and the ruins now, it was probably a high-explosive grenade.
"That kind of look that treats human life as nothing, this guy is definitely not a good bird, the reward on his head can't be more than that young dragon, this time the water is too deep, I'd better find a way to stay away........"
"Sister ........, I think so too, it's a pity that such a cute little bird dies early before she has experienced the beauty of the world."
What interrupted Lu Wu's thoughts was the "female taxi driver" sitting in the front row.
At this time, with the help of the suddenly lit interior lights, from the rearview mirror, Lu Wu saw her dress clearly.
A black suit, red tie, white gloves, and a crossed baton on the police badge on the right arm, which is standard for the six sections.
Black hair and red lips, phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, jade face and red lips, and the beauty moles under the eyes add a bit of charm, smiling like a fox spirit.
"Gray fox Lu Wu, the marginal person, it's not easy to make a name for himself at such a young age, and he is still the second son of the former head of the Lu family in Longxi ........, he faked his death five years ago and got out, tsk, sister, I really picked up a treasure, little guy, are you interested in joining the six branches."
