Chapter 3: The Devil Has a Covenant
"BLUE" is the name of a café. The store is small, ant carcasses can sometimes be found in sugar jars, and coffee is not very good, in fact, who can drink any difference? The people who come to this place are nothing more than sitting there and playing with melancholy, seeing if they can catch a few people of the opposite sex who are as "cynical" as themselves, and then go and do something vulgar together.
On this afternoon, the business in the store was similar to usual, relatively deserted, but one thing was very strange, there was a CLOSE sign hanging at the door of the store, and there were no waiters at the bar and in the hall. But the guests were still sitting there, shaking their feet looking at the newspaper, eating small cakes, drinking small coffee, and I don't know who brought them them.
Finally, a man stood up, walked to the middle of the room, tapped the glass on the table with a spoon, and said, "Thank you very much for being here today, I am honored to be here and to be able to preside over this meeting." ”
Everyone in the room was looking at the man at the moment, and although no one spoke, they seemed to be very calm about what was happening in front of them.
The man continued: "Not long ago, in our city, an ombudsman discovered a dangerous 'object' whose effects I believe are well known to all of you. Now it's in the custody of the ghost hunters in S City, but as with every similar item before, we don't know what's going to happen next. He paused for a moment and continued: "At this meeting, we must work out a plan, a set of effective measures, according to the ......"
"This coffee is so bad, don't you think?" A voice sounded abruptly, and this grumbling interrupted the man's speech, and also attracted everyone's attention.
This is a corner position, Xiao Lei is sitting there, dressed like a housewife, and she doesn't wear makeup, obviously she wants to keep a low profile today, so she chose such an inconspicuous position alone, but the person who complained sat opposite her.
In fact, Xiao Lei's opposite was still empty just now, but at the moment when the whining sounded, a young man in a black casual suit appeared on the seat, holding a cup of coffee that came out of nowhere.
Vincent sighed, stood up, and slowly walked towards the man who spoke, "Mr. Sun, don't look at me with that disgust, I have good news for you. ”
Mr. Sun said quietly: "Who do you think you are?" Devil, do you know what it means to walk into this room? ”
Vincent smiled and stopped, "Why don't you ask those guys at the door, how did I get in?" He snapped his fingers, and the world outside the door was instantly dyed red with a chaotic color of blood. Through the glass windows of the café, you can clearly see that the street outside is empty, but paved with broken stones.
"The last descendants of the GIANTS are so vulnerable, can't the 'Council of Regents' find a better doorman? Hehe......" He walked to the back of the bar and opened the coffee pot, "During the Battle of Olympus, their ancestors were much more powerful. ”
Mr. Sun didn't look at the rubble for too long, then turned around and replied, "That means you have the ability to force your way here, but so what?" You can neither interfere with our decisions, nor can you threaten our personal safety, let alone you...... Even Satan himself ......"
"Ahh......h He began to make coffee with a comfortable face: "I'm here today not to 'change' something, but to 'communicate' something." Obviously, I've been instructed by the 'highest level' so I can go anywhere and do anything, or I wouldn't have dared to break the heads of the guys out there, let alone come in and talk to you like that. ”
Mr. Sun's expression changed slightly: "If the 'council' wants to convey its decision, why don't you tell us directly, but through you, a ...... from hell?"
Vincent interrupted him again: "Mr. Sun, who told you that the 'council' is the highest level?" ”
All the regents in the audience were silent, and a terrible conclusion flashed through everyone's mind.
Vincent said: "This matter is decided directly at the highest level, and does not need the opinion of the regents, and I regret to tell you that you do not even have the right to be a bystander." ”
An old man closest to the bar put down the newspaper in his hand and looked directly into Vincent's eyes: "But, with your level, how did you get involved?" ”
Vincent picked up the coffee he had just brewed, "I'm not obligated to answer this kind of question, but I can satisfy your curiosity." He took a sip of his coffee: "Hmm...... In view of the outstanding performance of several of my colleagues and I in various events in this long history of human civilization, the top management believes that we are fully capable of being the supreme executors of this game, and that the council will also send executors for this operation and obey my command, hehe...... Unbelievable, I'm excited......"
Mr. Sun added: "How do I know that you are not a deceiver, after all, you are an extremely high existence in hell, maybe this is some kind of conspiracy that Satan has instigated you." ”
Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said: "The message I want to convey today is just to keep you out of the matter, if you have any questions, you can go directly to the 'council', I think the response you hear will be the same, that is, ......" He stuck out his tongue: "No fart!" ”
The Regents were speechless, in fact, the reason why their meeting of the Regents was going on today was because they had not received any clear instructions after communicating with the Council.
Vincent propped his cheek in one hand and propped himself up lazily on the bar: "Okay guys, let's dismiss, I've done a lot of work while you're wasting time here with this bureaucratic style." He took another sip of coffee: "This is the gap......"
…………
At the same time, Yanli was at home.
She was sitting lazily on the couch watching the boring news when suddenly, the TV screen became blurry and the fluorescent lights in the room flickered. It all went on for a few seconds before it stopped, and it seemed that the voltage in the building was unstable.
But Yanli always felt that something was wrong, and she turned her head almost instinctively to see a strange teenager standing behind the sofa.
"Hello, my name is Sid." He looked to be about sixteen years old, with a pretty face that even girls would envy, and his eyes were as pure as a baby. His teacher, Vincent, always described it this way: this face gave the impression that his kindness could almost flow out of his ears.
But such a guy is also a devil.
Before Yan Li could speak, Sid rushed and said: "This is a kidnapping, but I won't hurt you, basically I just want to ask you to change the environment, and then continue to sit on the sofa and watch TV." You should also guess that this has something to do with Wang Xu, but I can't explain the details, and I'm just carrying out the instructions of my superiors. Don't try to escape, and you won't be able to. No one will come to harass you, you won't be under house arrest for too long, and when the game is over, you'll be free. He finished talking about this in one go, not giving Yan Li a chance to interject at all, and then put his hand on her shoulder, and the two disappeared from the room in an instant.
…………
At the same time, the paranormal detective agency.
Qi Bing and Elbert fell asleep in the room, and for the next eight hours it was Wang Xu's turn to stare at the firewood knife on the table in a daze. Just as he was using the wood knife to cut the ham sausage into the instant noodles, a brown-haired man suddenly appeared in front of him.
Simon is still like that, arrogant, cold, his eyes are full of contempt for mortals, unlike Sid's thoughtful and thoughtful kidnapping rhetoric, Simon didn't bother to say too much at all, he looked directly at the stunned Wang Xu and said: "Seven days later, Times Square, New York, bring a chai knife." ”
Wang Xu had messy hair, wearing clothes and pants that had not been changed for two days, leaning forward, ham sausage in his left hand, and a firewood knife in his right hand, and blinked his eyes a few times, "This, this, this...... This one...... Ximen Daxia, my trick of flying immortals outside the sky is not yet proficient, can you give a grace period of thirty or fifty years......"
Simon completely ignored Wang Xu's complaints, and dropped a bombshell before disappearing: "If you don't show up then, Yanli will return to the Stygian Sea immediately." ”
…………
At the same time, a Honda car was parked in the parking lot of a large supermarket, and his wife was hysterically scolded for mixing skim milk and whole milk last time, causing the owner to decisively decide to check whether the items on the shopping list were all bought before driving.
He was doing such a boring thing with a blank eye, but suddenly a miserable white face appeared in the rearview mirror.
Woody is still Woody, lewd laughter, white glasses.
"Is it about the hatchet?" Master Mao didn't greet him either, but asked questions directly.
"Hey, hey, hey...... That thing is just an admission ticket, to use the method in your Chinese martial arts novels, it is a hero post to participate in the martial arts conference. ”
It only took about a second for the cat master to understand the deeper meaning of this sentence: "So, when the thing is in the hands of Wang Xu, it is fate?" ”
"Hey...... What do you say......"
"I don't have a hero post in my hand, why are you coming to me?"
Woody smiled even more: "Game...... There's always to be a couple of special guests or something, and Vincent and I agree that you should be the one. ”
"I'm not interested."
Woody began to laugh maniacally: "Hahahaha...... Interesting...... It's so much fun! Buddy! See you in New York! With that, he disappeared into the back seat with laughter, as if he had never appeared.
