Chapter 4 Bars

In the dimly lit bar, the ambiguous lights seem to be nothing, and the handsome men and women are full of hormones, dressed up brightly, trying to find the prey of desire.

Duanmu mixed in, looking very different, he wore a plaid shirt, jeans and sneakers, a typical straight man of science and engineering, although he was 1.8 meters and his skin was fair, but his Asian face was always not welcomed by blondes.

Duanmu Tianqin sat at a small table, he was not interested in the hot beauties in the venue, but Catwoman, who meowed at the handsome foreign guy passing by from time to time, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her......

Duanmu was waiting for someone.

Shirley, a Chinese-American, a classmate of Duanmu Purdue University, and a descendant of Yan and Huang, gave Duanmu a lot of care when Duanmu first came to the United States and was extremely uncomfortable, and quickly became familiar with life in the United States with Duanmu, and also took Duanmu to visit Indiana, where Purdue University is located, so that Duanmu quickly passed that difficult adaptation period. Shirley's father worked for the space agency, mainly researching simulated robots for space exploration. Shirley has been interested in scientific research since she was a child, and she has similar interests with a genius boy like Duanmu, and she hit it off.

As Shirley and Duanmu's friendship grows, Shirley shares many of the secrets she hears. Because her father has a high status, he will inevitably come into contact with miscellaneous things in the circle, many of which involve the darkness of scientific research circles, Chinese circles, or the upper echelons of society. Her father told her this for the purpose of protection, so that she would not provoke those unscrupulous scientists in the future.

The Jiazi Demon Thieves Group is an organization mentioned in Shirley's casual chat with Duanmu. Duanmu made an appointment with Shirley, just to learn more about their situation, but I don't know why Shirley made an appointment with such a strange place today......

After the kitten in Duanmu's arms drank the third cocktail through a straw, Shirley was finally late.

Shirley is a mixed-race child, she is exceptionally tall and beautiful, and her body is hot, but she is often unkempt when she is obsessed with science, and today she simply wore a T-shirt to the appointment, pure makeup, and she didn't even paint light makeup.

Duanmu has long been used to it, and if Shirley is grease and powder today, then he will not be used to it.

"Shirley, tell me about the Jiazi Demon Thieves......" The scientist straight man spoke so straightforwardly, simply and decisively......

Shirley seemed to be a little flustered today, and before speaking, she directly picked up the fourth cocktail in front of Duanmu and drank it.

Duanmu was frightened, he had the impression that Shirley was not drunk, he didn't have time to tell her that it was a cat that had drunk, and the kitten looked at the big beauty in front of him with a confused face......

Shirley wiped her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too nervous lately......"

Duanmu asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Shirley: "Something happened at home, my dad was investigated, saying that it was related to the organization "Scientific Freemasonry", I never heard my dad talk about it, but it seems that even I have been followed recently......"

Duanmu was speechless......

Shirley: "I don't know who to trust, and even though nothing has happened yet, I have a bad feeling ......"

Duanmu was relieved: "Your father is an upright scientist, he should be fine." ”

Shirley: "It's because he's so upright, and I'm worried that he's offended some forces." ”

Duanmu said helplessly: "It's really not peaceful recently, and I'm in a situation here...... The machine I made was stolen. ”

Shirley: "So you received their blue maple leaves?" ”

Duanmu nodded: "Yes, so I'll ask you." There should be two groups of people, one of which is a trick, and the police should not have found out yet......"

Shirley: "That's smart...... If they give you the maple leaf, it is a recognition that you are the owner of the machine, this is their way of notification, and it is also a kind of declaration......"

Duanmu listened quietly, and Catwoman's eyes widened......

Shirley: "This organization has a long history, it should be traced back to the Tang Dynasty or even before, no one knows the specifics, it's all rumors. They are famous because of their miraculous means of stealing, no matter how tightly guarded, no matter how difficult it is, there is nothing they cannot steal...... But they also have their own principles of stealing, as if they only accept the commission of a special employer, and they can't be contacted by ordinary channels at all, and there is also a blue maple leaf. ”

Shirley said, picking up the blue maple leaf that Duanmu showed her and playing with it in her hand.

Shirley: "No one knows what the blue maple leaf represents, just like the inheritance of this organization, the meaning of its existence, and the ultimate goal, no one knows, but it is certain that their main business is not stealing, stealing is just a part-time job, or some kind of task...... Usually when something is stolen, the owner of the thing receives a blue maple leaf......"

Shirley: "It's also interesting that they identified the owner of something as a museum, once a museum lost a piece of jade from the Qing Dynasty in China, and as a result, a descendant of the Manchu royal family received a blue maple leaf, I don't know how they found out the ownership of the jade, and it is certain that the descendant of the royal family is not the client...... Another time, when an AI chip was stolen from a French research institute, a blue maple leaf appeared in front of the grave of a deceased Indian scientist......"

Duanmu listened very attentively, and the Jiazi Demon Thieves became more and more mysterious in his heart, but after listening to Shirley, he was even more confused......

Just as the two were chatting hotly, a stylishly dressed brown-haired beauty squirmed closer......

The brown-haired beauty threw a wink at Duanmu and said hello, and at the same time charmingly bent down and handed Duanmu a glass of whiskey...... European and American women are too hot...... Some scientific research otaku like Duanmu can't accept it......

At the moment when everyone's attention was distracted, the brown-haired beauty had a silenced pistol in her hand at some point, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Shirley!

At the moment when the beauty killer fired, the catwoman in Duanmu's arms jumped out in an instant and pounced on the beauty killer's wrist......

Women are always hostile to women who are prettier than themselves, and this hostility will not diminish even if they become cats...... So Catwoman, who stared at the sudden brown-haired beauty with wide cat eyes, saw the action of pulling the gun for the first time......

"Smack!" The bullet hit the table......

Everyone was amazed! Scatter and run away! Duanmu took Shirley's hand and ran out the door.

The killer still didn't give up, and refilled the gun in the direction where Duanmu and Shirley had fled......

Catwoman was furious, jumped up and bit the killer's wrist, and the killer was in pain and finally dropped the gun.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds, and Catwoman stepped up to buy them time to escape!

However, something terrible happened!

The killer's face became more and more hideous, and his hands flicked back and forth......

Gradually, her hands turned into the front paws of a praying mantis! The two huge claws exude a terrifying emerald green luster, and the serrations on them are as sharp as chainsaws!

The red men and women in the bar were instantly frightened by this mutation, and even forgot to run away...... And the mutant mantis killer is full of vitality, jumping out of four or five meters with a slight jump!

I saw her screaming and pounced on Shirley in an instant!
