Drip~

The indicator light on the top of the recorder lights up green to show the working status.

"On July 25th, 20 pounds of fresh beef was served, and the size of the grit grew again, much smaller than two days ago, except that it once again showed intimacy, and when I approached, it had a special reaction, and after several verifications, it was confirmed as a welcoming gesture, I think it has identified with me, and in view of the Mawala incident five years ago, I think the time is ripe to try to integrate. ”

The gentleman sat in front of the training cabin, holding a tape recorder, staring at the sand that was constantly devouring large chunks of blood-colored beef in the cabin, with undisguised joy in his eyes.

"Mr. Gentleman, Miss Black Swan is visiting. ”

The intelligent system on the side gave a prompt, and the gentleman glanced at his watch, got up and pressed a button on the laboratory table, and the entire culture chamber sank into the tabletop, and some scattered instruments reappeared.

"Tell her to wait outside, and I'll go out. ”

Picking up the suitcase that had been prepared, the gentleman glanced at the layout of the room one last time, and made sure that there were no special circumstances, before turning and leaving the room.

On the brick and stone path between the lawn at the entrance, the black swan is standing on the left side with an umbrella, and his eyes fall on the lamp building on the side, and there are a few black mosquitoes circling around the white circle of light rendered by the rain curtain, as if they are preparing to take advantage of the light to pay attention to it.

"How's it going?"

The gentleman opened his umbrella and walked out of the house, looked at the black swan and asked.

"The dream medicine has been used up and needs to be replenished. ”

The black swan followed behind the gentleman, half a body slower, and reported the situation as if he were subordinate.

"Well, part of today's deal is for that...... I'm asking about other situations. ”

A silver-white sports car was approaching on the side of the street, and when they were in front of the two of them, the virtual avatar in the driver's seat slowly disappeared, and the doors opened automatically.

The black swan took two quick steps, first went to the gentleman's side to take his umbrella, let him sit in the co-pilot first, and then put the umbrella away and entered the driver's seat in the rain.

"The dream eater you sent to deal with the wind chimes was killed and caused the dissatisfaction of those behind it, someone came to the door two days ago and wanted us to compensate for the damage, do you need to compensate them?"

Turning the car key, his fingers pressed several buttons on the control screen continuously, and the rain on the front windshield was cleaned up in a few seconds, the black swan asked cautiously.

"Dream Eater...... Even a person who has just entered the dream realm can't solve it, and he dares to go back to me and ask for compensation. ”

He and the Dream Eater of the Dream Realm are not an alliance, but a relatively solid trading relationship, the previous person was originally just a temporary collaborator, who knew that the "water" is so big, and now the Dream Eater's people are actually asking for compensation.

Are your people a waste or my fault?

It's just that some things can only be thought about in the heart after all.

"Just take a few things and send them away, and tell them by the way, I still need someone to help teach me a lesson about the wind chimes, don't prevaricate me with waste this time!"

The gentleman is not ready to tear his face with the Dream Eater Organization for the time being, although he has made a lot of preparations in the past few years, it is still not the time to officially put on his own attitude.

In the final analysis, scolding is cool for a while, and after scolding, there is likely to be something he doesn't want to see.

Of course, these thoughts were based on the premise that the gentleman did not hear what the black swan was going to say next.

"They want the Scorching Box as compensation. ”

It seemed to be writhing a little uncomfortably, and the black swan even spoke much softer when he said this.

Because she knew that this sentence would anger the gentleman.

Boom!

The palm of his hand landed on the crossbar of the car door and made a dull sound, not surprisingly, after the appearance of the title "Scorching Box", although the gentleman who was originally in a calm mood remained silent, but from his tightly knit brow and the momentum emanating from his body, it was enough to let anyone know that he was not much different from the dormant active volcano.

"Who broke this news?"

The Scorching Box can be said to be this year's ...... No, it's the biggest gain of the last two years, and the gentleman naturally won't allow anyone to covet it.

"It should be those people from the expedition, you know, although they have signed a confidentiality agreement, but these people in the harbor area will only abide by the agreement in the process of cooperation, once the event is over, it will be difficult for our side to continue to restrain them, and we only need to spend some money to ask for some news from their mouths. ”

"I take back my previous words, and tomorrow ...... Just tonight, you go and tell them that I can make amends for what happened before, but if you want the Scorching Box, don't even think about it!"

The clenched fist was already released, the index finger tapped on the door handle, and when the car had gone a little way, the gentleman continued,

"Change things in a different place tonight, don't leave them where they are...... Forget it, don't touch it, I'll take care of it myself. ”

The existence of the Scorching Box was known to the Dream Eater as one of the worst news for the gentleman during this time, but it was impossible for him to give up this treasure, and all he could do now was to move things to a safer place while trying to deal with them, so that he would not be remembered all day.

It took nearly 20 minutes to drive for the two to reach their destination.

Egret Square, an entertainment plaza in the center of Dawning City.

Even on a rainy night, the flow of people here is still not small, and the gentleman and the black swan are no longer in the state when they first went out, but walk side by side on the pedestrian street.

Umbrellas are not useful here, as the plaza has a dome that covers the entire field, shielding it from the rain and projecting a rainy day through virtual imaging equipment mounted outside the shops in the square.

So that everyone is in the "rain", but not in the rain.

This design may seem a bit "well-fed", but for the government of Shuguang City Center, this kind of facility is something that shows the level of the city, and it is a viewing attraction of Egret Square itself.

"It's coming. ”

Walking around a large real banyan tree in the center of the square, the gentleman stopped and said.

On the other side of the banyan tree, a man wearing a beret and a pair of dark blue round-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose was looking at them, also holding a suitcase in his hand.

"The same old thing, 10 bottles of dream medicine. ”

The other party did not hesitate after noticing the gentleman and the black swan, stepped up to the two of them, and handed the suitcase to the gentleman as he spoke.

Obviously, similar transactions have been made many times by both parties, and there is even some basis for trust.

"I've been getting some information about the Dream Eater lately, and I wonder if you're interested. ”

As part of the deal, the gentleman handed over his suitcase, but instead of leaving as usual, he said before the other party turned around.

"Huh?"

The index finger pushed the glasses, and the man asked in some surprise,

"In the past, you didn't want to say it, why did you suddenly take the initiative today...... Oh, those guys have their eyes on you?"

"It turns out that you people are far more reliable than Dream Eaters, and after such a long period of cooperation, I didn't expect them to suddenly want it, how do you say that...... There are no middlemen to make the difference?"

The Dream Eater has his eye on the Gentleman's Searing Box, and he doesn't have the capital to tear his face with these guys right now, so it's best to turn the Dream Eaters' attention elsewhere to buy time for his preparation.

Of course, it is impossible to have any information about the scorching box in the reasons of the gentleman.

"No problem, we welcome any news you have about the Dream Eater. ”

Whatever the reason for the gentleman's sudden change of fortune, the Dream Eater would never have too much information for them.

"Talk somewhere else?"

The gentleman handed the suitcase to the black swan and made a gesture of please, but the other party just shrugged his shoulders and said that it was no problem.

......

Goo-doo~Goo-doo~

The brown-red crab is soaked in the half-boiling soup, and the electric stove underneath is constantly heated, along with the sliced potatoes, rice cakes, chicken feet, and also a lot of shrimp.

"Crabs and the sea, what can you think of?"

Zhu Jue asked while stirring the meat and crab pot in front of him with a soup spoon, picking out the rice cakes and chicken feet and putting them in his bowl.

"I've only heard of the old man and the sea, but I don't understand the meaning of crabs and the sea...... Hey, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner, and you turned into Egret Square halfway through. ”

Olivia, who was still wearing a formal suit, was sitting opposite Zhu Jue, using a fork to put the soft and glutinous potato pieces into her dinner plate, she would only set off for the rescue site tomorrow, and she was supposed to prepare at home tonight, but Zhu Jue, who was originally looking for information in the database of the archaeological association, suddenly asked her to come out for dinner together.

"Hey~ You have a mission tomorrow, we're friends, what's wrong with inviting you to a meal. ”

With one hand supporting his chin, Zhu Jue's whole person was on his side, chewing rice cakes in his mouth, and his eyes were not in the restaurant.

"The latest news of the association is not a sudden geological disaster, it can already be determined that there is a special situation, and this time I am afraid that there will be trouble. ”

While the rescue team of Dawning City was preparing, the local team had already gone to check the situation, although they did not dare to enter the underground ruins rashly, but there was no problem with the early detection through some equipment, and the final result was obviously not optimistic.

"It's said it's an underground ruin, and if there are not a few monsters in it, do you believe it...... I'll leave this with you for the time being, maybe it will be of some use. ”

Zhu Jue glanced at Olivia, who had a solemn expression, smacked his lips, lowered his head, took out something from his handbag and put it on the table and pushed it over.

Inside the palm-sized ring engraved with mysterious runes is a special twisted five-pointed star, and in the middle of this five-pointed star is also made of a small black dot similar to a starfire made of a certain material, and a rope is pierced through the extra hole at the top, which is used to tie it around the neck or wrist.

Old Print!

Zhu Jue didn't take it to Greenland five years ago, so after returning to Yecheng to retrieve the wind chime, the old seal was returned to his hands.

"You give it to me?"

With wide eyes, Olivia knew that this old seal would be the best life-saving item at some point.

"Ah, it's not for you, it's for you to keep temporarily, and you are not allowed to break it. ”

"I know, I'll take care of it. ”

Olivia grabbed the old seal and hung it around her neck, "perfunctory" Zhu Jue while connecting the two ends of the rope in front of him, tying a dead knot.

The frowning brows that were still frowning before stretched, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a pleasant arc, and even his eyes had a touch of sparkle in his eyes.

Zhu Jue suddenly had a premonition that this old seal might be about to leave him.
