Volume 1: The Tide of Twilight: The Temperature of Memory (2)
"It's over, it's over, hey, boss, you're so long-winded. ”
The woman took off her gray coat and rolled it up and threw it in the open back seat.
She leaned over to reach the side zipper of her hip-wrapping skirt as she tilted her head to hold her phone and complained to the other end.
"Look at your idea, I'll just say I don't like the smell of opium. ”
She raised her hand to her nose and sniffed, frowning a little disgusted.
There were a lot of people on the road, looking at the woman undressing on the street, many people cast strange and wanted to find out, the mother with the child pulled the child over, covered the child's eyes, and stretched out her hand to point at the woman who did not know the point.
Ni Luo finally took off the hip skirt from her body, revealing the black patent leather shorts under the skirt, and the eyes of the men around her dissipated with some regret in an instant, as if she was still unsatisfied with some scenes, and Ni Luo, who felt this, gestured to the scattered crowd and the mother who left in a hurry with the child on the corner of the street, and disdainfully took out a jacket of the same black patent leather from the cab and put it on her body.
The long period of restraint made Ni Luo, who was not used to this suit, feel miserable, she rubbed her sore muscles that were restrained, and sighed hatefully.
Are women in the workplace really troublesome?
"Got it, got it, obeyed the boss!"
She hung up the phone impatiently, and there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the canopy of 711 behind her slowly rose under the tone of the clerk, and the sultry air was slightly lighter in the precursor of the upcoming shower.
Ni Luo took a deep breath, took off the Jimmy Choo silver heels on her feet, and sat in the cab with her bare legs.
The pink Audi TT was extremely eye-catching on the street, and from a distance she saw the motorcycle with flashing police lights getting closer and closer to her, and she looked at the sign not far in front of her, and sighed and pressed the ignition button.
A crisp roar came from the four exhaust pipes behind, and the distant body cast a bright pink shadow in the air.
Ni Luo was holding the steering wheel with one hand and pressing something on her phone with the other, and every time she pressed the button, her expression seemed to be more depressed.
"I really want to take a vacation, I really want to eat ginger roast pork and drink beer. ”
After typing, she closed the phone and threw it casually towards the passenger seat, complaining helplessly in the closed window.
It was like a traffic accident in front of her, the spacious four-lane was jammed with traffic, and she kept honking her horn, but the crowded traffic was still unmoving.
Are the people up there stupid? She loosened her tense body and collapsed into the all-encompassing seat, thinking hatefully.
"You say, she came to the door on her own initiative?"
Lin Xiaojia covered his nose and sneezed, the smell of perfume that had not dissipated so far was still in the air, but it was not as sweet as Fang Cai.
"It's true, I'm a dog!"
An Yiran raised his hand and swore an oath, he handed out the business card, and explained to everyone what happened, of course, the part that Ni Luo approached him was naturally omitted, and he couldn't help but feel empty when he thought of it.
"Tsk, a lonely man and a widow in broad daylight, Xiao Anzi, you just talk to others about these things, are you still a man?"
Lao Zhang taught An Yiran a lesson in a pretended serious tone, he picked open a can of refrigerated draft beer, and said in his heart why couldn't he take such a good turn.
"How did you do that the ferryman was published separately by the magazine of the same name, but the background of the magazine could not be found anywhere?"
The eagle falcon flipped through the electronic materials on the website, and the mysterious magazine appeared out of thin air a few years ago, and the ferryman caused a sensation in the circle as soon as it appeared.
There is no information about its affiliated company on the Internet, except for trademark information.
Each issue has extremely real live interviews covering all the mysteries of the world, which is not like a small group can do, and how can this magazine that is not officially registered with any official registration be allowed to publish?
"In that case, I remember that in the previous issue of the magazine, there was an introduction to the distribution company, and the ferryman seemed to be registered with them. ”
An Yiran typed out a series of issues from memory, which is the paid online version of the ferryman, and since the magazine is rarely sold in China, they also provide an online version for customers to choose from.
"There you have, here. ”
He pointed to the top two lines of the short introduction on the last page, and the signature below was written in an unknown language with a small line of Chinese translation.
"What the hell is Sibolai? ”
Lao Zhang swallowed a sip of beer and read out the slightly awkward name of the company.
"I found out that there is a registered branch in China. ”
The falcon's fingers flew across the screen, and after a while, the fully disclosed corporate information was brought up.
"Fragrance manufacturing, toy manufacturing, food import and export, funeral?"
"What kind of mess is it? I don't have half a dime to do with the publication of the publication. ”
"I don't think these people can be trusted, and they seem to know something about us, but so far they haven't done anything real, and they still don't know who they are or foe. Eagle said.
"At least after coming into contact with that woman, I didn't feel any energy fluctuations, I should be incapable. An Yiran recalled the scene of her encounter with Ni Luo, and indeed did not feel any energy fluctuations on her.
After all, with such close contact, if she had even a slight fluctuation, no matter how weak her perception was, she should be aware of it, thinking of those slightly ambiguous pictures, he stammered a little in the end, and didn't notice that Lin Xiaojia's brows on the side were slightly furrowed.
"We don't need to be distracted thinking about these weirdos for the time being, if it is determined that they are incompetent, Lao Zhang can handle it later. Lin Xiaojia said.
"Hehe, girl, in the end, you still can't live without my uncle and me!"
Lao Zhang tilted his neck and poured a few sips of beer, let out a long breath, and said triumphantly.
"By the way, isn't it over there yet?"
He looked up at his surroundings, his face flushed from drinking, making his already flirtatious appearance even more frivolous.
Due to the fact that the places where the low-level skeletons appeared in the past few days were relatively scattered, and there was no trace of the kingdom appearing, everyone acted separately, each responsible for an area, in order to avoid extraneous branches, An Yiran, as one of the targets of the enemy, was naturally proposed by Lin Xiaojia to hide, and only occasionally went out to buy daily necessities and the like.
Despite this, An Yiran can already be regarded as a combat power, but as if he was worried about the abnormal state he showed that day, Lin Xiaojia still forbids him to use his ability at will.
Only the two of them knew this, at that time, Lin Xiaojia mysteriously called him to the room and told him to use his ability carefully, and as for his abnormal appearance, anyway, they can't find the reason at present, so it's better not to disclose it to Lao Zhang, so as not to worry everyone.
And he is also happy to replace Lao Zhang and act as a logistics staff, after all, if he is not there, Lin Xiaojia and they can also be more free to fight.
The credit cards he uses now have been processed through special channels, and the current usage location cannot be found in the consumption records.
"Indeed, it seems to be a little later than usual today. The falcon said slowly.
The only light source in the living room of the old house was the old-fashioned lamp, the dim incandescent lamp was a little poorly contacted, and it flickered from time to time above everyone's heads, as if it would go out at any moment.
At the same time, the city was breathing heavily in the darkness for another time.
With a snap, the sharp blade slashed through the air in a fleeting light and shadow, and the tall dark body fell heavily into the puddle on the side, and the muscles of the body, which had lost its vitality, were still beating slowly.
Li Ruolin raised the back of her hand to wipe away the black-brown viscous liquid splashed on her face, and stepped on the fallen body with some disgust.
The dull and heavy touch, distinguishing it from the color of normal human flesh and tissue, and blood, it is hard to imagine that these monsters were once living people.
The number of low-level skeletons is a mystery, judging from the situation of the factory at that time, there are at least thousands, and this is only from their speculation.
The real situation may be far more than they expected, and with this inexhaustible state of affairs, there must be an unknown hiding place in this city.
At least that's what Li Ruolin is sure of.
She turned her back and pinned her dreams to her waist, turning and walking toward the other end of the narrow alley.
It's the end of the alley, and the new community on the westernmost side of the city has no residents yet, but it's easy to move.
There were only a few dozen of the skeletons that appeared this time, and after the division operators cleared the surrounding area, they dragged the pace of the skeletons until Li Ruolin arrived.
Unlike usual, this time the skeleton did not rush towards her without fear of death.
Facing Li Ruolin, who was wielding a short sword, they seemed to feel the huge gap in each other's combat effectiveness, and these monsters with low intelligence actually put down the operators in front of them and fled.
This is the first time she has encountered such a situation, these monsters with far more than normal physique can escape with extraordinary speed, but fortunately, the tall building that has just been built is still quite empty, and after a lot of hard searching, it is finally solved.
Looking back at the past few days of combat, they all ended in all-round crushing, and the action of the skeleton has never been so passive, and even the desire to resist is much weaker than usual.
Is it an illusion, I always feel that there is some pattern in all this.
Unlike the falcon, Li Ruolin is also an extremely cautious type, but her cold appearance and seemingly indifferent attitude towards everything perfectly hide this.
In her former Southeastern Division, she has always acted as a loner, and despite her title as Executor, leading a team on a mission is not her forte.
Although she has been with Lin Xiaojia and everyone for a long time, the temperament in her bones is still difficult to change, and what can make her settle down the most is Wanhua and Tumeng on her side.
She slowly stroked the silver-white snakehead sword hilt, these two gorgeous double swords are the natal weapons born with her ability, years of tacit understanding have made them communicate with her own heart, and even in her heart, her feelings for these two swords have gone beyond the scope of friendship and family affection.
Man is but a traveler in the flow of time.
