Chapter 51: Fate (Part II)
Mu Qiutang immediately took out a tissue, leaned forward and handed it to Li Liuhua, who was still coughing, probably because Li Liuhua and her daughter were a few years old, and she liked this little girl very much. Li Liuhua took the tissue and thanked him politely, and quietly wiped the milky white soy milk stained on his lips.
Sophie touched her face in embarrassment, his habit was also used to the younger sister, when she was a child, her sister was weaker, and she could only stay in the hospital or room to recuperate all the year round, and the closed environment and atmosphere made her extremely insecure in the depths of her heart.
For example, rubbing your head, pinching your face, and so on.
Seeing everyone's strange eyes, Sophie hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Chu Fan, Qin Qingya, what are your arrangements today?" ”
"Just like this little girl mentioned, let's go our separate ways, and Qingya and I have to find time to train the newcomers in the group."
Chu Fan got up and looked at Li Liuhua, and said helplessly to Sophie: "If they have half of her, I'll be thankful." "Everyone's adaptability is strong and weak, among which the strong can quickly integrate into the game, the weak mentality is not correct, and the former is slow to do anything, these are the bad things of the newcomers, and last night Li Liuhua's delicate thoughts made Chu Fan and Qin Qingya very surprised, that composure and calmness may not be surprising for an adult, but how old is Li Liuhua? It is this kind of maturity that does not match the appearance that surprises everyone.
Now compared to Li Liuhua's quiet and stable atmosphere, the male newcomer on his side is a little lifeless, with a blank and blank look for the future.
Before going out, Chu Fan solemnly instructed as if he remembered:
"Sophie, if any of you meet those two groups on the news yesterday, you'd better be on guard, that unscrupulous and ruleless style of acting should be the breeding team, these crazy people can do anything, be careful."
It can be heard that Chu Fan is very unkind to see the so-called breeding team, and there is a faint disdain in his tone.
Speaking of which, Chu Fan and Qin Qingya were reluctant to join the small team split out of the team, also because they hated each other's unscrupulous means.
Waiting for Chu Fan and Qin Qingya to leave with the four newcomers, it didn't take long for Mu Qiutang to go out with Li Liuhua and Lin Zeqing to run errands, Lin Zeqing is middle-aged, unlike young people, his mentality is very right, he won't care about that hypocritical man's self-esteem now, in the heart of this man who has always seemed a little silent, his daughter's terminal illness is the most important problem.
By the time Sophie and the cuttlefish also went out slowly, it was already ten o'clock, and the personality of the cultivator was very lazy in a way, in the saying that he usually acted gently, even the cuttlefish who seemed to be vigorous and resolute was no exception, and her favorite thing after practicing was to hold her notebook and play games while eating.
The two walked on the bustling streets, the posture of walking together, and the very similar temperament on their bodies, made people subconsciously think that this was a pair of sisters and brothers at a glance.
But those who are attentive can still find that Sophie has some characteristics of foreign blood, while Scarlet Fish is a pure Asian beauty.
Even if the pedestrians on the road marvel at the appearance of the two, they just glance curiously and leave in a hurry, Chongming City, as a modern metropolis with a prosperous economy, has a very fast pace of life.
Sophie and the scarlet fish walked around the neighborhood, until they stopped at an open-air café at noon, Sophie thought about it and pulled the scarlet fish in to find a place, probably because of the lunch break, at this time the number of people sitting was quite large, and finally found a seat where there was no one around, and waited for Sophie to order two cups of coffee, the scarlet fish tilted his head to look at him, and the not dazzling shredded sunlight sprinkled on the girl's delicate face through the umbrella, making her cold demeanor invisibly a little more gentle:" You didn't bring me here to treat me to coffee, did you? ”
"Really." Sophie leaned on the chair, with a lazy smile on the corner of her mouth: "After two hours, I don't have a clue in my head, so I can only pull you to steal a lazy meeting." ”
"Demons, exorcists, official forces, I don't know where to start, after what happened in Nanchuan City yesterday, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win the trust of the official forces, and exorcists are not so easy to find, the task of a hundred black iron-level demons and ten bronze-level demons does not know when it will be completed, ha, if I have the strength to directly resist the national machine, how can I use such trouble, I will directly crush the past."
"Desperate?" The redfish glanced at the daydreaming companion next to him and sneered.
"Despair can't be talked about, it's just a headache." Sophie shrugged.
But there is no doubt that Li Liuhua's thinking and psychological age are indeed very close to adults, and those mentions are also good, but they have less experience, and the knowledge they only get from books is still too young after all, and in the case of being unable to use official forces, combined with their own not very superior conditions, starting from an exorcist is undoubtedly one of the fastest ways, but she ignored that the difficulty of finding an exorcist is no less than finding a demon in the sea of people. The few people present at the time knew that Li Liuhua's construction seemed to sound good, but it was too difficult to implement.
It's just that everyone sees that Li Liuhua is still young, and there is no voice of doubt, not to mention that with their current strength, plus they all have some bottom lines in their hearts, they are absolutely unwilling to use some inferior means, except to find an exorcist to find a way to track down demons, there is really no other way to go.
"It's hard to be a good person." Sophie couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
He didn't know, if he checked the progress of the task now, he would be shocked to find that the number of black iron-level demons killed had actually reached six, but unfortunately Sophie and the others were not bored enough to open the task list at any time to check, so naturally they didn't notice this change.
The black red fish sneered while stirring the coffee: "What's the headache, what we have to do now is to wait quietly, the demons and exorcists are more anxious than us, and now the official forces can't even cover a few corpse crushing cases and disappearances, it can be seen that the inside is not as strong and powerful as you think, everything is two-sided, there are good and bad, you are in a hurry to take advantage of the general trend of the world to complete the task, but you haven't considered the constraints of the general trend on us, this is not an RPG game, you find the door to the other party will give you the task of expelling demons, By the way, I will give you a few artifacts or something? ”
She picked up the silver coffee spoon, hooked the green silk hanging from her ear with the little thumb of her left hand, tilted her head, opened her pink lips slightly, took it in and sucked it gently, experiencing the bitter taste on it, and a smile appeared on her fox-like beautiful cheeks, which was charming and amazing: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and those who stand on the bright side are all good people who are selfless and self-sacrificing?" Not necessarily. ”
"When you say that, I'm too anxious." Sophie was stunned for a moment.
It's not that he doesn't know the truth, but human beings are like this, they only see the great good, but they turn a blind eye to the bad, and they just deceive themselves.
"By the way, I remember you didn't draw a silver card, why didn't you use it?" The cuttlefish narrowed her bright eyes and pursed her lips, the unique astringent aroma of coffee overflowed between her lips, although it was not a high-quality coffee, but she also drank it deliciously.
"It's a squire card that can summon a protagonist-level martial arts character as an attendant, and it's useless because I can't afford it." Sophie's palm shook under the table, and there was a shining silver card between his fingers, handing it to the redfish, there is no need to hide his relationship with her in such trivial matters, as he said, the attendant card is precious, but it is really not something that a low-level chosen person can raise, the summoned attendant is flesh and blood, needs to eat and drink, has seven emotions and six desires, and usually needs to strengthen the merit points and skill cards all need to be taken out by the chosen one.
As you can imagine, the financial pressure on the chosen ones is concluded.
"Martial arts figures? In the golden yellow? Villains like Pombo the Wizard or Undefeated in the East are also counted? The scarlet fish asked with amusement as he put down the silver spoon and took the card.
Sophie shook her head and said, "I don't know, there isn't much information on the card, so you can give it a try when you have more money in the future." ”
"And even if it's a villain, why is it Pang Ban and Dongfang Undefeated, can't it be female villains like Shangguan Xiaoxian and Wan Wan."
The black red fish's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his eyes seemed to be smiling: "You men really like beauty." ”
"It's just the nature of men, just like you women like to look at handsome guys, even if nothing can happen, the beauty on the side is also a pleasing scene, I'm not a, why leave a man by your side?" Sophie shrugged, the two had a very close relationship in private, and said bluntly.
"Don't count me in, my standard for choosing a man is strength and pleasing to the eye, as long as the appearance is above the level line." Hearing this, the cuttlefish said dissatisfied.
"And when did your tastes change, I remember you don't like soft girls? Shangguan Xiaoxian and Wan Wan's kind of women, I'm afraid you can't bear it. ”
"Redfish, are you looking down on me?"
"Hey, you're still a little self-aware?"
Just when Sophie and Scarlet Fish, the strange men and women, were drinking coffee and talking about the ideal of life with the standard of mate selection.
Xu Nianqiao walked out of the school gate with a short-haired girl, and the cute girl with short ear-length hair saw her childhood sweetheart and classmate looking listless, and couldn't help asking, "Nianqiao, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
