Chen Xiao held his mobile phone and looked at the mission briefing.
In other words, why does this "Order Foundation" have so many eyeliners that it can even detect what is going to appear in the auction? He muttered.
In fact, the Foundation's detection methods are a little more than imagined, because the reaction of D-class anomalies is not very large, so most of them rely on intelligence collection and the previously placed anomaly alarm system to detect, and when it comes to C-level anomalies, it will trigger larger equipment, and even B-level or above reactions, will be directly captured by detection satellites outside the atmosphere, and can also directly carry out simulacrum observation, in some inaccessible areas, volcanoes, polar regions, deep seas, snow peaks, There are many huge testing instruments working all the time.
What Chen Xiao has come into contact with now is only a small "Anomalous Biology Research Area", which is a small branch at the end of the differentiation of the huge system of the "Order Foundation", so he can't see the real strength of the Foundation yet.
But that's all for later.
At this time, Chen Xiao's expression was a little puzzled, because according to the mission introduction, the containment of this anomaly is very simple, it is an auction, according to the Foundation's wealthy and wealthy virtues, it should just find someone to go over and directly increase the price to the death, and this task will be over.
But this time the mission fund has 60 points, which is not much less than the last mission to bomb the villa, you know, the big bugs last time can be regarded as a difficult task to deal with in the "D-class area".
Chen Xiao clicked to join the task with doubts, and then frowned.
Because behind his avatar, there are two blank columns, that is, this mission is for 3 people.
"Sure enough, there's something strange...... he thought, "an auction that requires three people." Is it just to be on the safe side? ”
At this time, "ding" and "ding" two consecutive sounds.
Two black avatar shadows joined in.
"Huo~! So soon, did you add it directly after seeing the introduction of the mission? ”
It's true that no one wants to go on a desperate mission, but someone will definitely take on such a seemingly non-dangerous mission.
"So, will you meet any interesting people this time?"
I don't know if it's too boring to be idle, anyway, after Chen Xiao received a new task, he kept grinning and muttering something to himself, and licked his lips from time to time, if he was standing next to him, he would call 120 directly nine times out of ten.
......
......
A good story never needs to be sustained by making up words.
It was nightfall.
The streets of K City seem to wake up only under the neon lights, and the intoxicating atmosphere is wanton, desperately showing the prosperity of the city. Jinding Building in the center of the city, this representative luxury building is even more pestle in the flow of people, attracting the attention of countless gold worshippers.
There are always corners behind the glamour, and not far from this bustling center there is a quiet little street, which is almost like another world compared to two streets away.
A taxi pulls up.
A thin man in a suit pushed the door and got out of the car, with pale skin, narrow eyes, and a somewhat high hairline, and he didn't look good.
..... And this person ...... Wear a mask.
A very ordinary one, the kind that people often wear on windy days, but in this season when it is not very cold, such an outfit looks a little strange.
However, Chen Xiao was already very satisfied, if it weren't for the credit of this mask, he probably wouldn't even be able to get a car.
He bent over his waist and pulled his phone out of his pocket to reconfirm the location.
"P.O. Box 330 ......," he muttered, and followed the map directions into a small, old residential area.
The aisle of the community was a little damp, and the walls were glowing with the faint luster of the street lamps, Chen Xiao came to the door of the building, where there was a row of dilapidated mailboxes nailed against the wall, crooked, and already full of rust.
He was stunned for a moment, because, next to the mailbox, there were already two men standing.
One is tall and strong.
An ordinary stature with somewhat long hair.
In the corner where there are no street lights, the faces of the two people cannot be seen clearly.
But Chen Xiao recognized the figure of one of them.
The man turned his head and saw Chen Xiao as well.
Although he was wearing a mask at the moment, the other party obviously recognized him, and showed a similar blank expression.
......
......
The atmosphere froze
......
......
"Uh...... Hi! Chen Xiao blinked his eyes and waved his hand to say hello, breaking the silence.
In fact, Chen Xiao thought that the other party would probably be this result from the time he was in the orphanage, smart, strong, and experienced in actual combat, which seemed to give people a very reliable feeling, otherwise Mr. Zou would not have given him a special position among the four at that time, and if the management of this foundation was not stupid, he would not let go of such a suitable ready-made "field staff".
The other party nodded dumbly, and for a while he still didn't seem to have figured out what to say, and he was a little dazed.
The long-haired man standing on the side looked at Chen Xiao, and then at the sturdy man beside him.
"Brother Xiong, do you know this kid?" He asked, a little confused.
"Hmm......" White Bear replied, "In a way, this guy saved me." ”
As he spoke, he showed a very uncomfortable expression, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past.
When the long-haired man heard this, he immediately looked Chen Xiao up and down with a surprised look.
"My name is Ding Manshan!" He walked over and slipped out a hand.
At this time, Chen Xiao saw his face clearly, his cheeks were thin, and his eyebrows were very gloomy, and at first glance he was the kind of ruthless character who broke his front teeth and bit off a piece of the other party's meat.
Chen Xiao's evaluation of this kind of person is basically classified as the kind of person who often has a hot brain and may do something that does not fit the situation at the time.
Of course, it was definitely impossible for Chen Xiao to show any emotions now, he stretched out his hand with a smile and shook it politely with the other party.
......
There was a sound of old metal grinding, and the mailbox was opened.
"I thought Mr. Zou would be eager to execute you." The voice of the white bear came.
Chen Xiao hehe: "I think so too, but it seems that I am lucky." ”
He responded.
Bai Xiong walked over and handed Chen Xiao a gorgeous invitation.
"Let's go to the auction first, and I'll talk to you about me on the way." Bai Xiong said, his voice as calm as ever: "There is still ...... How do you bring this mask. ”
Chen Xiao let out a faint "oh" and whispered, "It's so convenient." ”
After that, he took off his mask casually.
Although Bai Xiong had long known about Chen Xiao's face, he still frowned.
And the gloomy man named Ding Manshan was directly stunned by Chen Xiao's appearance.
“……”
He whispered something and looked disgusted.
