On the east side of the northern Chinese city of Harbin, there is a specially divided building area, which is specially for some dignitaries or wealthy people to live in a group of villas, hundreds of exquisite villas scattered in an area of hundreds of hectares, surrounded by greenery, woods everywhere, and even a small lake.

In recent years, house prices have soared, especially after the attacks in the United States, and the prices of entire villa complexes have almost increased several times compared to before, and just like that, few people are willing to sell!

Villa 17 is one of the best located villas in the entire complex, with three floors and a separate garage with an adjoining basement underneath the garage. The light grey insulated façade blends in with the surrounding camphor and ginkgo biloba under the slanting light of the dusk sunset. The east-facing walls on the first floor are all composed of a two-metre-five-high glass curtain wall, and the lights in the villa shine dimly through the double-glazed curtain wall that is visible in one direction.

At this moment, in a small room on the second floor, with the sound of a sneering opening, a figure covered in scarlet liquid opened the door, walked out, and walked towards the bathroom at the other end of the corridor.

There was not a single light on the entire second floor, and the corridor was shrouded in darkness, but the figure was unaware of this, and not only did he not touch any decorative plants on either side of the corridor as he walked, but it even made people feel that he had almost merged with the darkness. Even when he was taking a shower, the figure didn't turn on the lights, as if for him, darkness was the environment he loved!

A short time later, the figure who had finished washing put on his clothes, walked down the stairs, and walked in by the dim light of the kitchen on the first floor. By this time, there were already two people sitting opposite each other at the table.

"Awake?" Chen Minghai put down the newspaper in his hand, snuffed out the cigarette in his mouth, and asked faintly.

The figure slowly walked along the wall to the kitchen window, and if you looked closely, you would see that he stepped on the dim shadows of the room with every step, as if instinctively not exposing himself to the light. Only the moment he walked past the dining table, the dim light from the chandelier overhead illuminated half of his face, it was Chen Tao.

Chen Tao stood at the corner between the floor-to-ceiling window and the wall, stretched out his hand to slightly open the thick curtains, and looked out through the glass curtain wall.

"Seven!" After a while, Chen Tao said softly, "It seems that Director Zhao still doesn't worry about you." ”

Chen Minghai let out a long sigh: "No way! ”

Chen Tao's father, Chen Minghai, used to be the captain of the Harbin special police team, and he was also the number one person in the Harbin public security system, but as the impact of the Entagri world on reality became greater and greater, especially when Chen Tao graduated early two years ago and clarified his identity to Chen Minghai, the couple soon felt the impact from their son!

First of all, Chen Minghai was transferred out of the special police team two years ago and promoted to deputy director of the Harbin Public Security Bureau, and after less than a month in this position, he was promoted again and became the deputy director of the special affairs response department of the black province, and the director was Zhao Mingyu.

The Special Affairs Response Office is a new organization established by Huaxia to deal with various special events caused by players and mutants, led by Zhao Mingyu and supported by the state. And the main reason why Chen Minghai, the captain of the special police team, was recruited was his son Chen Tao.

Alan Shadowsong, the feared undead slayer of the player community, is recognized by all players as the strongest assassin (among players), and countless people have died under the two pairs of daggers of this undead assassin in the past four years, including some of the guild leaders, and even one of the Apostles of the Snake of Death who was assassinated in broad daylight. The name of the Soul Eater seems to many players to be a legend!

And as the owner of this role, even if Chen Tao is just a young man who has just graduated from college in reality, Zhao Mingyu does not dare to have the slightest contempt for him. Zhao Mingyu himself has received many enhancements, and he deeply understands how powerful it will be to an ordinary person, not to mention the existence of Chen Tao, Zhao Mingyu even believes that this young man who is only in his early twenties has probably undergone more reinforcements than himself!

Zhao Mingyu guessed that a group of Devouring Serpent members, including Chen Tao, were likely to be the first players to enter the world of Entagre, and only in this way could this explain why this mysterious organization had such a powerful strength. In order to control this terrible assassin, after the Huaxia government established the Special Affairs Response Department, Zhao Mingyu served as the head of this department at the same time, and also served as the head of the Black Province Special Affairs Response Department, and recruited Chen Minghai into his command, the purpose is to integrate the former SWAT captain into the government system step by step in this way, and by the way, Chen Minghai and Chen Tao's father and son can be monitored at close range.

On the surface, Chen Minghai, who is the deputy director of the Special Affairs Response Department of the Black Province, is very highly regarded by Zhao Mingyu, especially when Zhao Mingyu is also responsible for leading the special affairs response departments across the country, almost all the affairs of the Black Province can be decided by Chen Minghai, although he is the deputy director, but the power is no different from the director. In addition, the special affairs response is in a special position within the government system, and its actual power is even higher than that of the mayor of Harbin.

But in fact, Chen Minghai is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface, Zhao Mingyu arranged a lot of guards around him, nominally to protect him, the deputy director, but Chen Minghai and Chen Tao both knew that these guards were also tasked with monitoring them.

"When is this kind of day a head!" Mother Yu Jia said angrily, "At the beginning, Xiaotao said to let us go abroad, but you just don't want to!" You see, now? Now even if you want to leave, you can't leave! ”

"Look, there are fifteen in total, seven at the front door and eight at the back door!" In the past two years, Chen Minghai doesn't know how many times he has heard Yu Jia complain, and he doesn't bother to quarrel with his wife about anything, "Xiaotao, this is at home, I'm always so nervous, don't you feel tired!" ”

"It's better than dying!" Chen Tao replied calmly, returned to the table and sat down, and began to eliminate the dinner in front of him.

The family was silent, and it wasn't until Chen Tao swallowed the last bite of rice that Chen Minghai continued: "Xiao Tao, haven't you made a decision yet? ”

Since discovering that he was being monitored by Zhao Mingyu, Chen Minghai has discussed the future direction with Chen Tao. In Chen Minghai's view, no matter how many earth-shattering things Chen Tao has done in the world of Entagri and how powerful he has become, he is always a Chinese, and their Chen family has always lived in China, Chen Minghai himself is also an authentic police academy graduate, and he has been working in the profession of special police for nearly 30 years, and has received countless patriotic education, so in Chen Minghai's view, Chen Tao should cut off relations with the organization called the Body Eater Snake and serve the country like him.

But compared to her husband Chen Minghai, his wife Yu Jia has a little different opinion, in her opinion, Chen Minghai has worked diligently in the work of special police for nearly 30 years, even if he becomes the captain, he only earns more than 100,000 yuan a year, and his son Chen Tao, since joining the Snake of Eating Bodies, the deposit on the bank card has been increasing almost every day, and even now it has accumulated tens of billions of dollars. Relying on Chen Minghai's salary, even if it is another fifty years and a hundred years, there is no hope! Therefore, his wife Yu Jia thought from the beginning that she should give up her work and life in China and go abroad.

Helplessly, her husband Chen Minghai refused to give up his job in China, especially when he was promoted to deputy director of the Harbin Public Security Bureau, Yu Jia's heart softened when he saw her husband's promotion, so she did not continue to insist. As a result, when they found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, and the guards arranged by Zhao Mingyu had already monitored them 24 hours a day, and even Chen Minghai was transferred from the position of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau to the deputy director of the Special Affairs Response Division.

Slowly finishing all the food in front of him, Chen Tao did not answer his father's words, but turned to his mother Yu Jia and asked, "Mom, has there been any new money in that card?" ”

"I have to ask it every day, you said that your organization of the body devouring snake is really strange, can't you make a payment at once, you have to call a little bit every day!" Yu Jia complained, "It's still a sum of money that arrived at half past four this afternoon, and the total amount is 449999.99!" ”

Hearing his mother's answer, Chen Tao suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are you sure it's 449999.99?" Not 450,000? ”

"It has always been 450,000 yuan before, but not today, it is estimated that a little more handling fee was deducted when the bank transfer!" Yu Jia said nonchalantly.

Chen Tao's face was gloomy, and after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said to his father Chen Minghai: "Father, what do you mean?" ”

Rubbing the ring on his finger, it was a gold ring, which Chen Tao specially prepared for his parents, and his mother Yu Jia also had one, and the two couples relied on these two rings, and also gave themselves a few small strengthenings: "I still think you should stay in China, I also heard about the United States not long ago, your organization of the Devouring Snake is not a good place to go!" Besides, the conditions for opening in China are not low! ”

On the one hand, Zhao Mingyu sent people to monitor Chen Minghai's family, and on the other hand, he also sent several invitations and solicitations to Chen Tao through Chen Minghai, and the conditions were higher and higher each time, just to dig Chen Tao from the snake to the side of the Huaxia government through this line.

After pondering for a while, Chen Tao finally nodded: "Okay!" Since you don't want to leave, Dad, then I won't leave you behind! Speaking of which, we can be considered to be implicated, but I can't do that kind of shameless thing! ”

The "shameless thing" that Chen Tao said was the other two roommates: Lei Fatzi and Yang Xu.

Since finding Shen Tianyi, Yu Bin has actually been in a state of suspension, in the second month after settling in Changchun with Shen Tianyi, Yu Bin completed the withdrawal procedures, and then with the help of the hands of the first apostle, all the information of him and Shen Tianyi was erased, and after leaving Changchun, he disappeared completely.

At that time, the Huaxia government didn't even know that Yu Bin was the sixth apostle Bingyu Dry Bone, and after the Huaxia government learned the news from other channels, it would be a needle in a haystack to find Yu Bin, it was impossible!

Naturally, the Chinese government began to set its sights on Chen Tao and the other three. But it's a pity that until now, only Chen Tao has stayed in China.

The three of them only studied for three years and graduated early from college, the difference is that Chen Tao chose to return to Harbin and live with his parents, while Lei Fatzi set off for a trip shortly after returning home, and his whereabouts are unknown during the trip, a lot of evidence shows that he died in a car accident, and the body left at the scene of the car accident was also found to be similar in size, and even genetic comparison proved the death of Lei Fatzi. But Chen Tao didn't believe that this guy would die so easily, and the Huaxia government seemed to have the same opinion, so the investigation into the car accident has not ended, and it has not given up on tracking down the real culprit until now.

And Yang Xu was even more resolute. After graduation, Yang Xu, whose hometown is in Guangdong, immediately left Huaxia on a private jet with his parents and several close immediate family members after returning home, and has not been heard from since. At first, Chen Tao thought that this was arranged by Yu Bin, but Yu Bin denied this and said that even he didn't know where Yang Xu's family went.

It was precisely because of Yang Xu's escape that the Huaxia government, which originally wanted to slowly contact the three of them through peaceful means, changed its policy, and through Zhao Mingyu and the Special Affairs Response Department, the Chen Minghai family was firmly controlled in its hands, if it weren't for the unwillingness to anger Chen Tao, the top assassin, I am afraid that the Chen family should be under house arrest somewhere now, instead of living in a spacious villa like now, enjoying a rich material life.

And that time happened to be when the four of them completed the Raven Ridge incident together in the Entagri World, and since then, the four of them have never acted together, although they still maintain a superficial relationship with each other, it is impossible to say what they think deep down. Only Chen Tao has long joined the Body Devouring Snake, so he still maintains a relatively close relationship with Yu Bin.

This is also an important reason why the Huaxia government wants to recruit Chen Tao, a group of pragmatists led by Zhao Linsong hope to form a stable connection with Yu Bin by recruiting Chen Tao, and finally recruit this powerful death knight.

"Then when are you going to meet that Director Zhao?" Seeing that his son finally relented, the father couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood began to relax.

"No hurry!" Chen Tao waved his hand, "I'm not one of those called Huazi outside, just throw a few pieces of meat and bones and send it away!" Dad, you go and tell that Director Zhao that if you want me to bow my head, I will talk to someone with enough weight! ”

"Someone with enough weight?"

"That's right! This is not what I Chen Tao meant, but the meaning of Alan Yingge, who is destined to become the strongest assassin in the future! ”
