It was almost midnight, and Barry, sitting alone at his desk, was reading a book about it intently. This illegal publication of unknown origin has always been one of his favorite books, and he knows every sentence, every paragraph, and even every punctuation mark in it.

But just like some people like to eat noodles at dinner, as long as he has time, he will take out this book and read it.

In fact, according to his previous habits, he should go to bed, after all, he still has very important things to deal with tomorrow. However, there are always some sudden accidents that I did not expect, who would have thought that this kind of barren land that has been completely sealed off can attract the attention of so many living people, it is like a 'gift from heaven'. Sometimes, though, too much stuff can cause more trouble. He has always believed that excessive taking will only lead to unbridled greed, and that human beings must have more reasonable self-control in order to be happy.

So when he learned that the inhabitants of his town were secretly arresting the 'living' in his name, he resisted in his heart. Man is not a renewable resource like a domestic animal, and in this barren land, every living person is a continuation of their avoidance of 'death'. It's a pity that this continuation is expendable, and the more you use it, the easier it is to attract the attention of the outside world, which is not what he wants to face. As the ruler of this small 'kingdom', he had so many reasons to think deeply. Especially about the matter of the Twilight Sect, it has always been the focus of his attention.

It is precisely because of the secret help of the Twilight Sect that he was able to transform from a seed merchant to the new mayor. Although there is no official recognition, but in this acre and three points of land, he can be regarded as a 'king'.

I looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was almost two o'clock. The playful dog still hadn't brought him any useful news, much to his annoyance. If it weren't for his sister's huge network to take advantage of, he would have dismissed this lazy 'dog thing' a long time ago, and he knew that he was idle all day long, and he always procrastinated when he got down to business.

Isn't it just arresting? Is it necessary to get it that long? It's been a few hours, and I haven't seen a reply.

What a disappointment!

The thought of annoyance made Barry unable to read a word anymore, and he closed the page impatiently, his hands kneading his temples.

'Bang bang bang', a heavy knock on the door woke him up from his musings. After shouting "Who! Barry then walked out of the study into the foyer and unscrewed the locking door.

Hu Sen's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks made him a little irritable, and he was in the mood and yelled directly at the door: "What are you doing in the middle of the night!" ”

"Something is wrong, my good mayor." Hou Sen frowned and said, "The dog was killed, Aunt Li's death is also dead, and the new living man has run away!" ”

"What, you say it again?" Barry was a little stunned, his head didn't seem to be completely turned.

"Can you go in and say, I've always wanted to sit at the mayor's house." Hou Sen looked around a few times, and without waiting for Barry to agree, he entered the hall, and then shouted: "Sure enough, the mayor's house is magnificent, and compared to ordinary people like us, it is not at all a grade." ”

"Go, go," Barry asked impatiently, closing the door and hurryingly, "What did you just say, tell me clearly." ”

"I said, the dog is dead, and the aunt is dead, and the guy from the city has run away with a gun. Now almost the whole town is gathering in front of my aunt's house, just waiting for your order. Hou Sen stopped in front of a piano and said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Ba Ye is really 'both civil and military', not only is the business doing well, but even the artistic cells are so rich!" ”

"Get out of the way, don't you know that this is not my house, this is the house of the former mayor, and my own house was washed away by the water that day?" Barry said angrily: "And this piano has been soaked in water, and I can't play it at all." Now, back to the topic, tell me what happened. How could the dog and the aunt be killed by just humans? ”

"I don't know about this, I was just ordered to come and deliver the news to you, you should tell that person the specific content." Hussen groped around the living room with his only remaining limb and said, "What a good place." ”

"That person? Did you take the wrong medicine today, or how to drop it. How to talk straight and half-talked! Barry tried to beat him up, but was stopped by a sudden left hand.

When he looked closely, he found that there was actually an extra person on his right, this middle-aged man in casual clothes, who was looking at him with very disappointed eyes at the moment.

"I don't know if the 'Sect Master' would come to my house as a guest, is there something wrong?" Barry hurriedly withdrew his arm and said humbly.

"How many times do you want me to tell you, just call me Lao Huang, and I'm not the 'sect leader' you say." Lao Huang said casually.

"You're so good at laughing, if it weren't for your help, we 'filthy creatures' would have been wiped out by those armed guys." Barry pressed his body very low and flattered him flatteringly, and Hou Sen on the side laughed a few times secretly, but was dragged by Barry and bent down together.

"Alright, alright, can you speak normally? I'm not here to listen to your flattery! Lao Huang said impatiently: "Actually, I'm very busy. ”

"That's nature, nature." Barry nodded and said, "Do you have any new orders?" ”

"You heard what Hou Sen said just now," Lao Huang looked at the painting on the wall and said, "If not, I don't mind repeating it." ”

"There's no need at all, 'teach' the adult" Barry noticed the anger on Lao Huang's face, and quickly changed his words: "I already understand very well what the situation is. ”

"That's the best, the reason why I came to you in the middle of the night this time is mainly to tell you that you should now order all those who run around the streets and do not return home at night, tomorrow is a big day, how can you not sleep well." Lao Huang looked at the painting with relish and said.

"You mean, let me call the big guy back?" Barry asked humbly.

"I've always liked smart people, for the simple reason that they understand well enough. I think what I'm saying is clear enough, you just have to do it. Lao Huang turned around and wanted to walk: "By the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in tomorrow's large-scale event, and I still have a lot of things to do!" ”

"You go slowly," Barry watched Huang leave.

It wasn't until the door was closed again that Hou Sen, who had not been silent for a long time, also took the opportunity to leave, but was stopped by Barry.

This shout scared the two ornaments that Hou Sen had just put into his pocket to the ground, and he looked at Barry who was walking slowly towards him with an embarrassed face, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and said, "Ba Ye let the villain go." ”

"You only have one arm left, why don't you have a long memory!" Barry stooped down and picked up the two gold-plated bronze objects, shoved them into Hussein's pocket at a very slow speed, and said, "Take it if you like, it's not worth a few bucks anyway." But I have a request, you have to make a run for me and call the folks back, how about it? ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Hou Sen nodded suddenly, and what he muttered was 'Thank you, Master Ba'.

"Thank you, big head, hurry up and do something for me!" Barry touched his chin, pondering the man's intentions, and he had thought a lot about it that night.
