"I'll look at the price I've been given by the handover...... The deposit is 2,000 tokens and a random weapon, and the rest will be paid again when you bring the newcomer back. ”

Jiang Beihe touched his chin, "This condition is okay, do you think, although it is not as rich as the previous Dead Dog Guild, it can be regarded as more sincere." What do you think, if I'm not satisfied, I'll talk to them again? ”

"That's it," Qiu Xuan yawned as she stood in her pajamas. "When will that newcomer come in?"

Jiangbei Crane: "Three days later. Are you going to meet in advance? ”

"I don't see anything, so I'll meet directly at the affairs center when the time comes." Qiu Xuan waited for a while, waited for Jiang Beihe to say goodbye to himself, and then went back to the room, and after waiting for a long time, he only heard Jiang Beihe standing at the door of her room again at night, talking about how lucky he was in the previous trial ground.

Qiu Xuan pulled her face and gave a smirk, closed the door and lay back on the bed.

Over the next three days, she tried to contact Nightmare a few times, but she didn't know which time and space crack this guy had run into, and she couldn't find a trace of it. As for Shen Jingxue, he couldn't count on it, and he didn't know if he would appear again after Qiu Xuan finished the few trials he was given.

Putting the two aside for the time being, Qiu Xuan spent another two days in the simulation training ground in Linyuan, and then spent the last day meeting with Yuhir.

The girl from the unknown and distant Tata tribe looked radiant and radiant at the moment, and did not have the same resolute resentment as she had been in the desert before. She also insisted on pulling Qiu Xuan to the middle of the cliff opened up behind Lin Yuan to visit the rescued giant warrior, saying that the other party had repeatedly asked to thank her in person after knowing that she had returned.

Qiu Xuan directly waved his hand and refused, and once again told You Xier in a serious tone: "Don't you know, the person who bombed the mercenary organization in the first place has found it, it is Qu Hanxing, the head of Fan Zhuo Water City!" ”

Qu Hanxing: I thank you.

Yuhir just frowned and shook his head, looking like you couldn't fool me. Qiu Xuan didn't say much more, and wanted to stand on tiptoe and pat the other party's shoulder, but then found that after entering adulthood, she couldn't reach it even on tiptoe now, so she gave up and patted Yuhir's arm instead.

"I'm leaving."

Yuhir was stunned behind him, instinctively trying to catch up, but then he didn't know what to think of and changed his mind, and stood there and watched the person disappear from view.

……

Cyberpunk Zone, Business Center.

"Hello seniors! I'm a newcomer from Fan Zhuo Water City, my name is ......"

In front of the door of the high-rise building made up of digital fragments that reached into the sky, two people stood there staring wide-eyed.

The young man raised his hand and scratched his head, and when he saw the man's face, he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He was a little at a loss, and repeated the message he had sent him several times, and after a while, he hesitated: "May I ask who you are...... Afu, is it? ”

Qiu Xuan: "Yes. ”

Ed: "......"

In fact, Qiu Xuan was indeed surprised for a while when he saw the familiar face of the newcomer in charge, and then thought of the time between them, and there was really no problem.

It's just that Ed just said that he was a newcomer from Fan Zhuo Water City, which means that since Ed's whereabouts were unknown in the last Water City incident, he should have been brought back by the search and rescue team of Water City and also became a member of Water City.

It's also good, at least it's better to follow Qu Hanxing than to follow the people of the Independent Mercenary Association.

Qiu Xuan figured it out, and she didn't dwell too much on it, after all, who is not bringing a newcomer. However, she figured it out, and Ed fell into deeper suspicion.

"About the newcomers who came in the same batch as me became the seniors who took me through the level after a month".

If the story is narrated from Ed's point of view, it is probably such a title, and then it is logical to return to the next door and lightly classify, from then on, the hot-blooded boy bravely went to another world, defeated the demon king, married his predecessors, and finally retreated to the peak and returned to the mediocre village, and finally became a generation of legends.

Let's start with this charter.

Unfortunately, the protagonist of this book is not a hot-blooded teenager.

Qiu Xuan was the first to step into the scope of the affairs center, and seeing that Ed was still stunned behind him, he pulled him in with a little impatience.

"Hurry up and report, or I won't be able to get in if I miss the time."

"Huh? Oh...... Oh! ”

Ed hurriedly rushed in with his head bored, and then bumped into the humanoid electronic projection that came to the reception of the affairs center, and stood directly in the body of the projection of the other person and spoke.

He hurriedly stepped back and apologized, and finally entered the preparation space for the transfer after finally going through some processes, Qiu Xuan stood behind him and said lightly: "I confirm to follow the executioner Ed into the trial ground." ”

It was dark in front of me, and after a while, the light returned.

……

"There's a game in the 'Dawn Star' tonight, are you coming?"

"No, I'm too tired today, go play by yourself, stay safe."

"Can't help but come, haven't you heard, it's very likely that 'that one' will show up today."

"Who, the mysterious ...... I'll tell you, I'm really tired after a day's work today, so I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Cut, it's really a disappointment, forget it, then you can take a taxi back by yourself. Don't regret it tomorrow, don't blame buddy for not reminding you! ”

"Got it, stay safe!"

Midnight, the Dawn Star.

The association with the word "midnight" first ruled out that this was a shop that conformed to the rules of the sun's work, but in fact, despite the name, Dawn Star was indeed a real ground bar.

Even strictly speaking, it's still a clear bar.

The moment Qiu Xuan opened her eyes, she was caught by the spotlight above her head, she quickly came back to her senses, squinted her eyes and roughly scanned the surrounding environment, and found that the background was more in line with her traditional definition of modernity—that is, between the level of development of the technological plane in the original world.

It's a bar.

Qiu Xuan jumped down from the high chair where she had opened her eyes, and sat down in a dimly lit place in the corner. Mainly, she thinks it's a little too noticeable to sit alone in the center of the spotlight — and it's silly.

I don't know if it's because it's not yet business hours, there aren't many people in the bar, and it looks like some friends and colleagues who know each other are talking to each other in whispers at the same table.

She glanced over at the moment, and she hadn't seen a single colleague who had also been teleported to the proving ground.

Of course, Ed also teleported separately this time, and it is estimated that it will take a while before he can meet him.

Her hunch was right, and she waited in the bar for a while, and when she could look up at the clock in the center as soon as she entered the door, it seemed that everything had been premeditated, and a dense crowd poured into the storefront.

It stands to reason that this kind of midnight show requires a DJ on the dance floor or a noisy and lively atmosphere. But after sitting in it for so long, Qiu Xuan finally discovered that this bar called "Dawn Star" happened to be a Qing bar with no hot beauties and no electronic dance music.

Really, seriously, it's like they're not a bar that's open exclusively at midnight.

And none of the glamorous men and women who poured in at twelve o'clock came to dance. All of them sat on one side with wine glasses in twos and threes, and they seemed to be very elegant when talking and laughing, as if they were at some high-level cocktail party.

Qiu Xuan waited in the corner for a while, but she never found any discord or any clues about the testing ground.

She had been in the bar for quite some time now, and she put down the fruit plate, stood up and moved her legs, and wanted to go out and have a look.

However, as soon as Qiu Xuan stood up, a stranger walked in this direction with a glass of wine.

"Alone?" The man in the suit asked.

"I'm not interested." Qiu Xuan raised his hand to block in front of the wine glass he was holding, and wanted to get up and bypass it after simply refusing. And the moment she passed by the strange man, she heard the other man's voice suddenly lowered.

"Witch, I noticed you early on, you can't escape."

Qiu Xuan: "? ”

She didn't want to pay attention to the person who suddenly began to turn to the direction of the inexplicable topic, and walked straight around him to the exit of the bar, only to see that the next second, the man stopped her with a backhand.

He took out a delicate little bottle from the inner pocket of his crisp suit through the cover of the wine glass, the glass bottle was the size of a palm, but it was extremely finely carved with unknown dark lines, and it looked very beautiful in the dim light of the bar at this moment.

"Any idea what this is? Oh, I'm afraid, witch. ”

The man was holding the small glass bottle and dangling it in front of Qiu Xuan's eyes, shaking and shaking, and suddenly he began to smile crookedly there. "You're begging me for mercy now, and I might consider letting you go."

Qiu Xuan: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Witch!" When the man saw that she didn't think so, his face turned pale and his expression was a little angry. He let out a low roar, and then, as if concerned about his surroundings, quickly lowered his voice to make sure it was not noticeable. "Do you know what this thing is? This is the holy water that Lord Asafir has personally consecrated, and it is more than enough to deal with a witch of your level! ”

After he said this, he had been waiting to see the "witch" in front of him show a panicked expression, but he didn't expect that the other party's face had indeed changed, but his expression was not what he imagined.

Qiu Xuan probably went through all the world backgrounds she had seen so far in her heart, she frowned, and asked, "Are there many religious people in this world?" What are the specific religions? ”

"You! How dare you! ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the man's expression suddenly distorted, and after a long silence, his gloomy gaze hung on Qiu Xuan's body for a while, and suddenly raised his hand to peel off the mouth of the so-called holy water at a speed that no one expected.

Obviously, he thought that his behavior was absurd, but a second after the invisible smell in the air emitted into his nose, Qiu Xuan really began to feel dizzy and nauseous.

She watched as the colorless transparent liquid poured on her, and it stands to reason that this level of attack could be dodged with her eyes closed. But at this moment, her nose and her entire brain were still drowsy in the breath of an unknown liquid, and the holy water as clear as water splashed on her body, and she felt that the whole skin above her collarbone was about to burn.

This is not a delusion.

Qiu Xuan herself was mired in a drowsy unknown and couldn't see it really, but a whole piece of skin on her chest really burned.

The sudden flames only stayed at the location of the skin that the holy water touched and did not spread all over the body, and at the last moment of losing consciousness, Qiu Xuan fell to the ground head-on. Seeing that around the man holding the holy water, all the customers who had been scattered in the bar stood up at this moment, approaching and surrounding him.

……

“…… Twelve midnight,...... Yes, Dawn Star...... Witch ......"

Qiu Xuan opened her eyes from a trance, as if she vaguely heard these words around. She closed her eyes hard to relieve herself, and realized that what she had heard before was not an illusion, and her whole body was now wrapped in layers of special restraints, surrounded by strangers coming and going.

"Wake up."

A woman in a white robe and a mask walked over and lifted her eyelids to look, Qiu Xuan tilted her head, and the woman didn't continue to insist, but turned to a man at the entrance who was writing something on the table: "This one is awake, it's a witch." ”

The man, also in a white robe, waved his hand casually, motioning for the staff to push the restraint bed over.

"Unfortunately, witch, you have been discovered. So from now on, you have to be admitted to the hospital for observation and control until ...... Not until. The man dressed as a doctor shrugged his shoulders and looked up at Qiu Xuan again. You can only regret that you didn't hide it carefully enough, so you were discovered. But there is no point in talking about this now, whether you want to or not, you can only stay in St. Canaan for treatment in the future. ”

"But......" The doctor paused for a few seconds, as if trying to remember something in his memory. You shouldn't be too lonely, because I remember that there was a witch in St. Canaan who was being treated. I don't know if there are any factions of your kind of thing, but I guess we have a common language. ”

"You're mistaken," the white-clothed nurse next to her reminded in a low voice. "The witch was burned to death by her roommate a week ago tied to a central flagpole, and now there are no other witches in the courtyard except for her about to be admitted."

"Oh, well, I misremembered."

The doctor shrugged his shoulders at Qiu Xuan, then raised his hand in front of her to stamp one of the documents on the table, and suddenly laughed meaninglessly.

"That's a shame."
