"Protector? What is that? The tall and fit Sakuragaoka Sage seemed to be very confident in his skills, especially disdainful of the word "protection", and said proudly: "I don't need anyone to protect me." ”

Megumi Kishimoto dutifully played the role of the mascot, patiently explaining and admonishing: "Holy sister, this is no longer our original world, there are many terrible monsters, if it wasn't for the Dire-kun who has been protecting me in the last game, I'm afraid I'm already dead......"

"Does the protected party have anything to pay? I'm not referring to that G-score, but to some additional conditions? ”

In the end, she was born as an idol singer, and Reika Shimohira thought it through, probably because she had encountered similar unspoken rules before.

Megumi Kishimoto was stunned, and hurriedly explained to Luo Jie: "No, it's not needed!" Dire-kun isn't that kind of person! ”

"Hmm...... If that's the case, I need protection. ”

Since she was originally a weak person, Shimohira Linghua was more able to recognize the reality than the proud Sakuraqiu Saint, and took the initiative to come to Luo Jie's face, and said with a deep salute: "Dire-kun, I'm going to trouble you next." ”

"Huh? Miss Shimohira, I can too! And you see I still have dogs......"

"Succulents" was also a little envious of Luo Jie's income from the last mission, and continued to recommend himself to Ping Ling, and even summoned automaton to fill the scene.

As for the bald uncle Ryoichi Suzuki, he selectively ignored it...... He wants G points, not love and warmth.

Fortunately, the bald uncle is also very self-aware, scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and said: "My health is not very good, forget about the protection, although I can't do anything for you, I can still do it without delaying." ”

In the end, only Linghua Shimohira chose the protector.

……

Woo——!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the old wooden living room around everyone was replaced by a large living room in the style of a rice country.

Pure white wall paint, light-colored floral fabric furniture, some old black square box picture tube color TV, everything is full of warm nostalgia.

Looking out through the glass window, a sparkling lake is hidden among the rolling green hills.

Where is this?

Luo Jie subconsciously looked at the "succulent" standing at the window and looking out, only to see that his face was also full of confusion.

"The unnamed town of Maine, I can't really remember where this place was in the production...... Seriously, who would pay attention to a place name in the background that isn't famous when watching a movie? ”

Luo Jie frowned, the words of "succulents" are not wrong, there are so many film and television works, just the characters with names and surnames may not be remembered, let alone the name of the place that is likely to be just dangled on a street sign.

But this time the system gives too little prompt information, if you can't find out which film and television work the world background here comes from as soon as possible, you are likely to fall into passivity in the next mission.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Jie gave Succulents a look, and Succulents nodded, and walked cautiously to the door with his dog-shaped automaton that looked a bit like a large husky.

By the way, the name of this canine-shaped automaton is "Erha".

Outside the door was a Caucasian man in his thirties, not very burly, but tall, dressed in a simple gray-and-white plaid shirt and jeans, with some oil paint on his body.

Seeing the black tights of everyone in the room, the man was obviously stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, there were no fierce people with eight feet tall and bronze bells in Luo Jie's group, but there were three fierce girls, which made the man feel a little relieved and did not take out the phone to call the police.

"Seriously, I've lived here for a few years, and I didn't really know that my neighbor was Asian."

The white man's gaze subconsciously swept over the convex and concave body curves of the three women, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, but there was no obscenity at all, as if he was admiring three natural works of art.

"Hey man, I'm not suspicious, my family and I live right next door to you."

The white man turned slightly sideways and pointed to a somewhat dilapidated white house a few dozen meters away, where an ordinary-looking blonde young woman and a young boy of six or seven years old were waving to them.

"My name is David and I'm a painter."

"Dire, a freelancer, usually works to make some props, costumes and simulation models for the studio and enthusiasts."

Luo Jie stepped forward and shook David's hand, and by the way, he found a barely reasonable identity for his people.

Story NPCs will also be suspicious of unreasonable situations, and sometimes even secretly call the police, a fake identity can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

David showed a sudden look on his face and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I thought you were having a masquerade." ”

Luo Jie interrupted David's greetings and asked straight to the point, "Mr. David, do you have anything to do with us?" ”

"Hah, that's right." David said embarrassedly: "Last night's storm blew my house bad, and I called the construction company and they said that there are too many damaged houses in the town, and you need to wait in line for repairs, so I want to ask you if there are any extra planks here...... But then again, your house is really sturdy, and there was no damage at all in the wind that was so strong yesterday, which construction company built it, can you introduce it to me? Compared to your house, my house is literally made of Lego......"

David? Painter? Storm?

Several keywords are like fragmentary puzzles, quickly stitching together a relatively complete picture in Luo Jie's mind.

It reminded him vaguely of a movie he had seen ten years ago.

"No problem, but I can't remember if there are any extra planks, I can help you find them later." Luo Jie said casually as if chatting while being ambiguous and perfunctory: "By the way, Mr. David, I also moved here recently, and I don't know much about the surrounding situation...... I seem to have seen the army here yesterday, is there an army stationed here? ”

"Oh, yes, see the mountains on the other side of the lake? There is a base there, which seems to be called the Arrow Unit, which is said to be doing missile prevention research, and it has been designated as a military restricted area...... The ghosts know what exactly they're studying? There's also gossip that they actually found a crashed flying saucer with frozen alien corpses in it, and I guess maybe the man in black or something, just the kind of guy who pulls out a pen and clicks it into your eyes, and then yours doesn't remember anything......"
