After Lu Xiaozhi's heart experienced the battle between heaven and man, he compromised with reality, and the thoughts that Li Feng had been instilling made him more and more determined that there was nothing wrong with doing this.

"I'm also a human being, I also want to live, Xu Lang, you are so smart, but you just use me, and never really help me! It's just a brainstorm for you, but you don't think I'm worthy! In this case, everyone lives together, and dies together! ”

Whenever he remembered Xu Lang's cold and contemptuous eyes looking at him, the resentment in Lu Xiaozhi's heart was even worse, and the huge pressure and Li Feng's provocation obviously made his mentality change abruptly.

Human nature cannot stand the test the most, under the strong temptation to live, what is the principle that cannot be let go, and what is the point of killing a person?

Li Feng looked at Lu Xiaozhi's face for a while, but his eyes were firm, and he already knew in his heart, knowing that his plan was basically successful, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Xu Lang, Xu Lang, I let you look down on everything, look down on us newcomers, and always target me! I don't know how to let you die this time! ”

Whoever is not afraid of no good things, is afraid of no good people. Lu Xiaozhi would not have been so extreme, nor would he have the idea of harming people, he has always been the selfish and vicious provocation of this Li Feng, which became the beginning of the split of the executor's team.

Of course, the conversation between Li Feng and Lu Xiaozhi was heard clearly by the viewers in the newspaper hall, and some smart people found that it was not a good idea at all.

Xu Lang has the most critical clue of this mission, the clue of the letterer, and has the most intelligent mind, if he is killed by Li Feng and Lu Xiaozhi like this time, I am afraid that the probability of group annihilation will be greater.

And smart people know that the biggest enemy of the executors is always the evil spirit, and they must not fight in the nest without touching their interests and life and death, which will only make the situation worse.

But when some newcomers heard Li Feng's plan, most of the newcomers showed an attitude that they should have.

The veteran's disdain and indifference to the newcomer have long made some people dissatisfied, and Xu Lang's previous plan to kill three birds with one stone has also made waves.

Li Feng's plan to harm others and benefit himself can be said to be a ruthless breath for newcomers, but because of the surface, many people have such thoughts but do not speak out.

From this moment on, the polarization of the newspaper staff became even stronger, and the veterans and newcomers were almost in opposition to each other in their tasks, and instead of working together as before, they regarded their companions as the number one victim.

This is even more serious when the task of the newspaper is already doubly difficult. And the fuse of all this was Li Feng at the beginning.

......

At this time, Xu Lang and Zhu Zixing began to take a leisurely walk on the first floor, chatting while observing the ancient castle.

Xu Lang deliberately took Zhu Zixing with him, and he also had a protective mentality, Zhu Zixing's previous series of performances had proved that he was extraordinary, and Xu Lang also found that Zhu Zixing was not like this at the beginning.

Originally, he behaved like an ordinary newcomer, trembling and panicking. But since coming to the mission, I have unique insight, I am rational enough to face emergencies, and my mentality has gradually become stable.

His change is entirely due to the high pressure of the task, which single-handedly contributed to his growth. Compared with the "freaks" such as Yan Yan, He Xiao, and Nameless in the newspaper, including Xu Lang himself, Zhu Zixing is more like the growth trajectory of a normal person.

Among so many newcomers, only Zhu Zixing is the only one who has such a performance. Compared with Chen Xiaodong among the newcomers who came to the same place, Zhu Zixing has a strong adaptability, and he can see the current situation very clearly.

This is no longer the real world, you are in hell, and you can only better integrate into this world by abandoning some of the original bonds. Zhu Zixing has done a better job in this regard.

Looking at Zhu Zixing, who meticulously searched the surrounding situation, Xu Lang slightly became interested in this young man, and couldn't help but chat with him.

"Zhu Zixing, what was your previous occupation?"

Xu Lang's sudden words startled Zhu Zixing, who was fully focused, thinking that something was happening, so he turned around and looked at Xu Lang nervously, and only after a few seconds did he begin to recall Xu Lang's words.

Xu Lang looked at Zhu Zixing's performance, smiled slightly and did not speak.

Zhu Zixing realized his gaffe, scratched his head in embarrassment, and understood that Xu Lang wanted to chat with him, and he relaxed, and unconsciously talked more: "I didn't get admitted to college in high school, and my family didn't have so much money for me to repeat, so I entered the society and worked hard." It's a pity that he doesn't have much ability, and his brain is not smart enough, so he became an ordinary courier to support himself. ”

Xu Lang didn't think he talked too much, on the contrary, he was quite interested in his situation, but he didn't expect that an ordinary professional would be so adaptable in a short period of time when he entered the newspaper.

"No matter what work you do, as long as you can support yourself, there is no shame. Don't be presumptuous, in fact, you have a lot of potential, but you don't have the right opportunity to play it. ”

Xu Lang's sudden compliment made Zhu Zixing feel flattered, not that he admired Xu Lang very much, but he had heard that there was a special person in the newspaper before, he was Xu Lang.

Not only did he go directly to the inside, but the newspaper also "favored it" again and again, and he participated in every mission, the first task was carried out alone, and the second mission was directly a medium-level mission.

Having understood the horror of the task, Zhu Zixing was even more curious about Xu Lang, this character with a somewhat strange appearance and a cold temperament, even praised himself just now?

This left him a little overwhelmed, standing still and not knowing what to say.

Xu Lang patted him on the shoulder, signaling not to be nervous. "Small talk, it's safe for the time being, I'm optimistic about you, I want to ask if you'd like to join my team."

"This ...... Team. Of course, Zhu Zixing also knows that there are currently two forces in the newspaper, one is Yan Yan, and the other is He Xiao and Xu Lang.

He didn't expect Xu Lang to take the initiative to invite him, no one had given him such attention in the past twenty years. Most people scoff at him, unmotivated, and full of money, and even his parents have been scolding him as a "waste" since he was a child, and he has been instilled with such thoughts for a long time, so that he also feels that his life is nothing more than that.

But now, Xu Lang not only recognized him, but was also ready to appreciate himself and draw himself into the team. Although this is just a simple proposal for Xu Lang, it is an affirmation of his personal ability to Zhu Zixing.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixing smiled dumbly, "I didn't expect that I would be recognized in this situation in my life." ”

Xu Lang looked at this young man who was full of emotion in his heart, and was a little surprised, it seems that this Zhu Zixing also has his own secrets.

Then he said to him sincerely: "Every person in the world has his own use, but he lacks an opportunity to excite him."

Entering the newspaper office is a misfortune for you, but it is also an opportunity. But for me, I never felt like I was really alive if I hadn't been here, and it was this place that made me feel like I was still a living person.

Maybe the same will be true for you in the future.

Some people have been overwhelmed by the fear of the task all their self-confidence and courage, no matter how many such people are, they are just a waste, just like Lu Xiaozhi. But you're different, you're still struggling, not only aren't intimidated, you're bringing out your potential.

I don't want you to die, but with this hard-won courage and self-confidence, live on. Xu Lang rarely said such words, because he seemed to see his former self from Zhu Zixing's struggle.

In fact, Xu Lang has a dark temperament, he will never say such positive words, the changes in his childhood, in the face of the world's suspicion and distrust, Xu Lang also lost his self-confidence and bravery, he was not knocked down, and now he transmits this emotion to Zhu Zixing.

Zhu Zixing was silent, looking down and thinking about Xu Lang's words, he could hear the true emotions contained in the words. This was completely different from the cold and ruthless Xu Lang he had heard and seen.

After a while, he no longer hesitated, raised his head to meet Xu Lang's gaze, his eyes were hot and expectant, and he said slowly: "I am willing to join Brother Xu's team." ”

Xu Lang smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at Zhu Zixing's eyes as if he was looking at another life.

"Alright, let's go to the kitchen and take a look."

Zhu Zixing nodded vigorously and followed Xu Lang to the door of the kitchen.

When eating, Xu Lang felt that there might be problems in the kitchen, so many dishes, the workload must be very large, how could it be done by just relying on an old man in his old age, even if he was an evil spirit, but those dishes were indeed genuine and had not been tampered with.

At this time, he stood at the door of the kitchen, and since the door was not closed, he could clearly see the situation in the kitchen.

The layout here is exactly the same as the kitchen layout of a large hotel, the area is many times larger than that of a domestic kitchen, and it is made of stainless steel structure similar to that of a hotel kitchen.

The stove, cooktop, and cutting board are all made of smooth silver stainless steel plates, so this kitchen is more like a large mirror room.

Standing at the door, Xu Lang and Zhu Zixing were also shocked when they saw the situation in the door, but they were not too flustered because they covered half of their faces.

Zhu Zixing saw the layout of this kitchen and also understood the abnormal situation here, it seemed that in addition to a few of their executors, there was also the old man in the entire castle, why did he build such a large kitchen? Then a key question came to mind.

The whole castle seems to belong to a rather wealthy person, and this man is particularly fond of Western medieval Renaissance paintings, but only one old man has appeared.

And the role of this old man seems to belong to either the waiter or the housekeeper, so who is the owner of this ancient castle?

Xu Lang and Zhu Zixing beside him looked at each other in amazement, obviously they were both aware of this critical issue.

Will the original owner of the castle be the key to cracking the way to life?
