Shanghai Xintiandi Pedestrian Street, adjacent to the former site of the Communist Party of China on Huaihai Road, is a tourist attraction covering an area of more than 40,000 square meters and based on Shanghai's unique Shikumen architectural area.

Walking through Xintiandi, it is like stepping back in time, like being in the old Shanghai of the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, but if you look closely, it reflects modern fashion and convenience everywhere. There are the best western restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, and a bar street in the famous Dry Demon City. When the lights come on, the pedestrian street becomes a sea of lights, attracting thousands of petty bourgeois youth, business people and international friends.

Compared with the crowded night, the new world during the day seems much more deserted.

Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian pushed open the closed glass door and walked into a bar. The bar is darkly lit and not open for business, but from the decoration style and the design of some decorations, the owner of this shop must be a knowledgeable person.

They walked around the bar, and there was no one in sight, and they were about to say hello twice, when they heard a faint snoring coming from nowhere. It turned out that there was a wire bed behind the bar, and a person was lying on it and sleeping soundly.

The man looked to be in his early thirties, smelling of wine, with a big messy back, a pair of huge toad glasses on his face, and a large gold ring on his ears, dressed like a hippie, and was lying on his back in bed and sleeping.

Liu Zheng originally planned to wait for him to wake up, but Luo Zhijian didn't care so much, and slapped the bar counter with a bang.

"Hey, wake up, wake up!"

Zzz...

"I said, the boss has checked the post!"

Zzz... Zzz...

"Something was stolen!!"

Zzz... Zzz... Zzz...

“Two whiskies！ (two glasses of whiskey)"

This old man was still unconscious just now, and when he heard someone asking for wine, he sat up straight, but he startled Luo Zhijian, who was lying on the bar and looking in. This man looked at the two young men in front of him with sleepy eyes, muttered a few words in his mouth and made a gesture to lie back, Luo Zhijian hurriedly shouted: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, let me ask you, where is your boss?" ”

"What's the matter with the boss?" The man asked in a sullen voice as he covered his face with the quilt.

Liu Zheng replied: "We are from the Qiantang City National Security Bureau, and we want to find your boss, so let's talk to him about the specific matters alone." ”

"NSA?" When the man heard the name, he sat up again, and this time he looked at the two of them with a slightly more sober gaze, and suddenly said, "Oh, the special group did it!" ”

He staggered up from the bed, sat down on the high chair in the bar, poured himself another glass of wine, and poured it to himself before saying, "I am Zhou Cheng, what are you looking for me?" ”

This bells and whistles is actually the owner of this bar? This was really unexpected by them, Liu Zheng was a little embarrassed, and was about to speak but was stopped by Zhou Cheng.

"Hey, wait a minute. If you are still ready to come back to the old ways, then don't open your mouth as soon as possible, the people in the Shanghai Special Group Office are enough to annoy me, why do you Qiantang people still come to me across provinces? ”

Liu Zheng coughed lightly, and patiently told Zhou Cheng what happened in Qiantang some time ago, as well as the decision to form a superpower team.

"Boss Zhou, your ability characteristics and level have not been officially recognized, but your personal information is placed at the top of all the candidates, which means that you are the most valued person by the top management of the Special Group Office. At the beginning of the creation of the national defense force, I hope that Boss Zhou can put aside your prejudices, focus on the overall situation, and do something for the country and the people as much as you can..."

"Stop, stop~ young, full of empty words, tell you not to come with me, what I can't listen to is this kind of truth." Zhou Cheng burped, waved his hand and said, "I'm a person who is used to freedom, I can't think about it before I join any superhero organization?" Hey... Besides, the knife in other people's hands has to be done by you, and my brother doesn't serve it. ”

He threw his head up and drank the wine from his glass, and ate it to the bar, making a muffled "bang" sound, which was particularly harsh in the empty bar.

"Whether Qiantang really fought a war or not, I can't draw conclusions, maybe the time back you said really exists. I just wanted to ask - with three or two of you kittens, can you really stop Magneto? Zhou Cheng gulped out the smell of wine, and his eyes were full of banter and provocation.

Liu Zheng's anger rose in an instant, the Qiantang Battle was won by their hard work, how can others be derogatory casually, this drunkard's words are too ugly, it seems that it is impossible to think good today.

Before Liu Zheng could say anything, Luo Zhijian made the first move. The young man in his early twenties happened to be the age when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and a few days after joining the special group office, he was worried that he couldn't find a chance to show his face, seeing Zhou Cheng's wild words, where could he still bear it, his arm fused with the symbiote, turned into a huge iron-gray giant claw, and smashed the marble bar with a punch.

To be the first person on Fu Shenzhou's recruitment list will definitely not be in vain, this Zhou Cheng looks drunk, but he is an experienced fighter, he knows that his position is very disadvantageous, and he is not in love with war, so he picked up the bottle of foreign wine and smashed it at Luo Zhijian's head, and then turned over and jumped out of the bar and ran towards the relatively spacious dance floor.

The wine bottle smashed on the head of Luo Zhijian, who was in monster form, as if it had hit a hard rock. Luo Zhijian stretched out his blood-red tongue and licked the wine on his face, his body rose violently, and he pounced on Zhou Cheng again.

Liu Zheng looked out the window vigilantly, and saw that the passers-by had not heard the sound of fighting in the bar, and thought that there should be some kind of ban here, and outsiders couldn't feel it, so his heart was a little wider, so he had the heart to turn back and watch the two people fighting.

The monster Luo Zhijian's attack method is similar to that of a beast, with extremely destructive power, and being touched by his giant claws is the end of broken bones and tendons, while Zhou Cheng uses a set of martial arts that are very weird but quite exquisite, and he seems to be so drunk that he can't even stand on his feet, as if he will fall down by himself in the next second, but every seemingly inadvertent sway of his body can dodge Luo Zhijian's attack just right. The two of them played ping-pong for a while, and Zhou Cheng probably felt that he was suffering a physical loss, so he fished out an iron wine bottle from nowhere as a weapon, and even used it with his fingers, which was very easy to use.

Zhou Cheng lowered his head to dodge Luo Zhijian's claw attack, rolled forward to open the distance, then unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand, poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, raised his head and squirted out violently at the monster that came back to attack.

It was wine, but it was a large stream of ice-blue flames. Luo Zhijian was not in a hurry to be sprayed, and his shoulders and one side of his back immediately burned. The monster let out a terrible scream, and the symbiotic outer body wrap could no longer be maintained, and quickly shrank from the surface of the skin, revealing Luo Zhijian's true face.

Liu Zheng hurriedly went over to pat off the flames on his clothes, and seeing that Luo Zhijian was not convinced and wanted to go up again, he hurriedly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "This guy has some doorways, let's let me come." ”

"So easily provoked by my words? It seems that the level of staff in this session is really not good. Hiccup~~~"

Zhou Cheng stood crookedly in the middle of the dance floor, his feet firmly on the ground, as if he was one with the earth, a pair of eyes that were drunk and hazy just now, but now they suddenly became clear and translucent, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face at all.

"Hehe, you don't really think I'm a drunk, do you?"

Liu Zheng walked up to Zhou Cheng, looked him in the eyes coldly, and said solemnly: "My name is Liu Zheng, and I understand Boss Zhou's tricks." ”

"If you want to fight, you can fight, what are you talking about?" Zhou Cheng snorted, didn't say much, and hit the bottle with a wave. Liu Zheng had already prepared, his hands came out in claws left and right, and a move of "grabbing beads" came first, and he went straight to the key points on both sides of Zhou Cheng's head. Zhou Cheng was the first to underestimate the enemy, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to shoot so fast, so he hurriedly raised his head to dodge. Liu Zheng made a lightning move and attacked his chest again, and Zhou Cheng staggered backwards with both feet, holding the iron wine bottle in his hand in front of him.

Liu Zheng pushed through his fingertips, grabbed the iron gourd with one claw, and ploughed out three obvious scratches.

Zhou Cheng jumped out of the battle circle, his tone changed, and he said in surprise: "Dragon Claw Hand, you are a Shaolin disciple?"

"Yes and what."

Liu Zheng heard Zhou Cheng's fluent ancient Chinese language, and knew that he was also a person in the rivers and lakes, but the morality of this product was too bad to talk to him.

"Yo drink, Shaolin monk Fan's heart is not up, when did he take refuge in the government?"

Liu Zheng didn't accept Zhou Cheng's ridicule at all, and sneered: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, should you be as selfish and shameless as everyone as you!"

"Selfish, brazen? You know the. ”

Zhou Cheng's eyes narrowed, but the cold murderous aura couldn't be concealed like a blade, and he was obviously really angry: "Boy, it's not a good skill to move your mouth." We Jianghu people have the rules of Jianghu people, whoever wants to lose, will meet one condition of the other party, what do you think? ”

"Yes, people like you are not worth my recruitment at all, if you lose, just apologize to us for what happened just now!"

Zhou Cheng looked at the tattered wine bottle in his hand, unscrewed the lid and poured all the wine inside into his mouth, then threw it away, pointed to the door and sneered: "Do you think I will lose to you?" Climb out of here when you're done, and then go back and tell your leaders that you don't come to me again. ”

You scumbag, just nest in a bar and dream to death for the rest of your life, begging me, I won't come!

The fighting spirit of both sides was raised to the highest, and at the same time, they roared and fought together. Zhou Cheng didn't dare to take it lightly this time, and was very cautious, his footwork flickered forward and backward, and his figure was sometimes illusory and sometimes clear, which was a little stronger than when he fought against Luo Zhijian just now. However, Liu Zheng has no intention in his heart, the thirty-six dragon claw hands he practiced are aggressive, and he also walks a light and agile way, plus he has been practicing with the yellow claw for a long time, and he has long known how to deal with opponents who are agile, and he has always firmly covered Zhou Cheng under his claws.

The speed of the two of them was faster than one move, Luo Zhijian, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was dazzled, and was secretly shocked in his heart, he thought that after he had this symbiote creature, his body's reaction speed had increased several times, and he had surpassed ordinary people and could belong to the category of supermen, but he didn't expect to be defeated by someone on the first mission, but now the two ordinary humans in front of him have exerted their combat power that completely surpasses him. This also made Luo Zhijian interested in "martial arts" for the first time.

Zhou Cheng did his best, and after more than a dozen moves with Liu Zheng, not only failed to win the other party, but also faintly lost the upper hand, he was very suspicious in his heart, he didn't expect this young man to be stronger than himself! As soon as Liu Zheng grabbed and waved, he took advantage of the situation to change his moves, a lazy donkey rolled and lay on the ground, his hands slapped on the ground, and the person slid flat against the ground and attacked Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng didn't want to get drunk and kick his knees and legs, so he was forced to retreat in a hurry, and almost really fell, and suddenly blessed his soul, and a strange set of footwork ran out of his head, and his legs involuntarily walked around according to this wonderful footwork.

Liu Zheng walked a few steps and found that he was quite skilled in this footwork, taking a few steps left and right, and magically dodged Zhou Cheng's attack. His confidence increased greatly under joy, and the person spun like a spinning top, skillfully went around Zhou Cheng's head, exchanged his claws for palms, and slapped it down vigorously. Zhou Cheng curled up his body, kicked his waist and legs diagonally upward, just in time for Liu Zheng's palm.

With a "bang", the two forces collided, making a muffled sound, Liu Zheng took a step back, and Zhou Cheng turned forward two heels, and did not stand up until he unloaded the palm force on his feet.

"Will you still Kunlun Earthquake Palm? Hahahaha, kind of interesting! It seems that it is not possible to move the real character. Zhou Cheng laughed twice and took another attack posture, his eyes shining with excitement.

Liu Zheng's scarf pattern started to work on its own, and he saw that Zhou Cheng's body seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, and the surrounding qi was rapidly converging towards him, and the phantom of a beast jumped out from behind him, leaping in the void above his head, letting out a silent roar. This beast resembles a lion but not a lion, with horns on its head, hooves on its limbs, and a body of golden dragon scales, standing on top of Zhou Cheng's head and glaring at Liu Zheng majestically, a powerful coercion attacked, Liu Zheng suddenly felt a little breathless.

A whirlwind blew out of thin air in the bar, wine bottles and glasses and glassware clanged, and tables and chairs vibrated slightly. The dried flowers used for decoration on the wall sprinkled countless petals, carried by this energy, and swirled around Zhou Cheng.

"Try to take my palm!"

The spirit beast above his head roared wildly in the sky, and Zhou Cheng also burst into a shout, and his palms were flat. Liu Zheng only felt that the palm technique was fast and slow, as light as a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, as if it tore through the space, and it was in front of him in an instant.

He spun his internal force, and the power of the scumbag was activated, and the energy shield unfolded in front of him. The invisible palm force slammed on the shield, Liu Zheng shook violently, and he tried his best not to fall. This force was so great that the internal force that supported the energy shield's operation was almost dispersed.

Liu Zheng frantically exercised his skills and turned the internal force to the maximum, because he found that the palm power printed on the energy shield did not disappear, but became heavier and heavier!

I don't know if it was due to the turmoil of consciousness caused by the surge of internal force or the stimulation of the power of Zhou Cheng's spirit beast, the dragon beast hidden in the sea of consciousness suddenly opened its eyes, broke away from Liu Zheng's body and jumped into the air.

The dragon beast was even taller and more powerful, standing proudly in the void above Liu Zheng's head, and the momentum of looking at the world shocked the lion-shaped spirit beast above Zhou Cheng's head to retreat again and again.

"This is——! Kang Jinlong! ”

Zhou Cheng was shocked, his internal force stagnated, and his palm power instantly collapsed, and under the reaction force of Liu Zheng's energy shield, he flew more than ten meters upside down, fell into the sitting area next to the dance floor, and smashed several tables and chairs before stopping. The lion-shaped spirit beast wailed, and with its tail between its legs, it drilled into Zhou Cheng's Heavenly Spirit Cover, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When the dragon beast saw that the other party had fled, it snapped its nose and returned to Liu Zheng's body proudly.

Liu Zheng was about to step forward to check on Zhou Cheng's injuries, but saw Zhou Cheng sitting up by himself in a pile of broken wood and iron, and then laughed.

He burst into tears of laughter, shook a few times and lay down again, rolling and pounding the ground, laughing to himself. The whole bar was filled with his maniacal laughter.

Luo Zhijian leaned over and whispered to Liu Zheng: "This guy can't be a drug addict, I think we should leave him alone." ”

Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Cheng rolling on the ground in disgust, nodded and said, "Well, let's go!" ”

The two were about to push the door out, when they heard Zhou Cheng shouting behind them, "You wait!" When he turned around, he saw that he had already stood up on the table, but his hair was scattered and his face was smudged, and he had lost his original chic appearance. Zhou Cheng was shocked, and the unicorn spirit beast ran out again, but this time he didn't do it again, but obediently followed behind him.

Luo Zhijian couldn't see the spirit beast, but looking at Zhou Cheng's performance, he thought that he would not admit defeat, and immediately turned into a monster form, and said in a vicious voice: "Why do you still want to fight?"

Zhou Cheng waved his hand and said to Liu Zheng: "You are very good, the Special Group Office surprised me this time." Reacquaint yourself again, I am the drunken man Zhou Cheng, and I apologize to the two little brothers for the offense just now. ”

Saying that, he really generously clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian, these two completely different attitudes before and after made Liu Zheng very confused, and he didn't know which one was his true face.

Zhou Cheng took out a mobile phone from his pocket, raised his hand and threw it to Liu Zheng, and then said: "I am a person who is not subject to control, and I will not participate in your organization." But if there's something tricky that you need my help with, call me from this phone. ”

Liu Zheng looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and wanted to throw it away several times, but thinking about it, this is also a powerful combat force. In the end, he held back his temper, pushed open the door without saying a word, and left with Luo Zhijian.
