Chapter 21: The Truth I

On the rooftop of the Lion Club, Van quietly leaned against the railing, letting the cold Siberian breeze blow through his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Boss!" Art, who was tightly wearing a pair of shorts, walked over.

The dense wounds on the bronzed muscles were like his glory, and these wounds witnessed the hardships he had gone through along the way.

Art handed over a bottle of pure water in his hand, and Van took it and drank it down.

"Fuck, this is a good thing, a bottle costs 5 points, and only those purebred guys can afford to drink, and part of the reason I came to Lion Boxing is to be able to drink a bottle of pure water for free." Art muttered.

Most water sources were contaminated after the nuclear abolishment, so finding a clean source of water was crucial, and the main city of the Angel of Death was built on the help of the snow melt water accumulated in Siberia for many years.

The drinking water of the modified people is only the snow water that has been filtered in the primary level, and there are still a lot of radiation impurities left, but for them, this will not affect them, purebred humans can also drink this snow water for free, but almost all purebred humans will choose to buy pure water, and only they will use their points for this aspect.

Although reformers and purebred people live together, their lifestyles are indeed two extremes.

"I like to drink it, I can buy it and give you a few bottles." Van said softly.

Art didn't seem to expect Van to say this, so he looked at Van a little strangely.

"Boss, you don't need my help in any more trouble, do you?"

Fan shook his head calmly, his deep eyes looking into the distance, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

After a long silence, he finally spoke again.

"Thank you."

Art, who was slowly tasting the taste of pure water, coughed as if he had suddenly been stuck in his neck, and he was choked.

Van took out a box from the pocket of his trousers, put it in Art's palm, and gently patted him on the back with his right hand.

"You don't have to pay it back."

After saying that, Brahma left Aat alone on the rooftop.

After he opened the door at the top of the staircase, he happened to see Rose who was hurrying up, and the sudden encounter caught Rose a little off guard, she instinctively leaned sideways against the wall, there was a moment of horror in her eyes, and then she returned to normal and smiled at Fan in embarrassment.

Van glanced at her calmly, then at Art, who was still stunned on the rooftop, then nodded at Rose, and then walked down the stairs.

Rose watched Van leave in a daze, completely forgetting her original purpose.

When she finally came to her senses, she stomped her foot in hatred, and had to walk towards Art, who was still stunned in place.

"What a surprise! Your boss is gone! Rose crossed her hands on her chest.

"Rose, what's the best gift you've ever received since you're so big?" Atte, who was stunned, suddenly asked.

Rose was stunned by Art's question, but then fell into a brief contemplation.

"Half a rabbit leg that Van gave me! If that's a gift. Rose replied that the trials of survival in her childhood were also a shadow that she could not erase in this life, and at the beginning when she was most hungry and weak, it was Van who gave her only half of his rabbit leg to survive, so that she could survive the most difficult years.

Although she finally separated from Fan after that, she always remembered this kindness, even if it wasn't until the later encounter, Fan was no longer the innocent young man she was at the beginning, and she didn't remember her, but she never forgot this kindness.

"Bunny legs, that's a good thing indeed." Art also seemed to recall the past, "But have you ever seen someone send this?" Art handed the box to Rose.

Rose casually opened the box, and an injection was lying quietly in the center of the box, and the name of the bottle was clearly marked on the bottle, GEF-1.

"Damn, you've made a fortune!" Rose muttered to herself.

A GEF Gene Booster! Someone would send this kind of thing, it's worth 1200 points!

Art smiled bitterly, "It was given to me by the chief, and he specially told me that I didn't have to pay it back, and he also said thank me." Rose, do you think the boss is not ready to ask for me? This mission is completed, he is definitely enough to reach the standard of the three wings, and the reorganization of the team is inevitable, is this GEF-1 his apology to me in advance? ”

Looking at Art's mournful face, Rose glanced at him disdainfully, "I don't want you better!" If you're leaving, I'll just apply to join. ”

"Don't worry, the boss will never want you." Art pouted.

"No, I have to ask the boss what happened, why did you send me this for some reason." Atena muttered to herself, then left Rose alone and quickly ran to the staircase.

Rose was the only one left on the rooftop, her hands propped up on the railing, and the cold wind ruffled her short hair like a blooming rose.

"What kind of person are you?" Rose muttered softly, her eyes blurred and clear.

……

Angel of Death Main City, Mandala Bar.

"Mandala, is this bar really your own?" This is the third time Jeff has asked like this.

"There's nothing surprising about it, anyway, I didn't pay for the bar myself." Mandala pursed his lips.

"What are you thinking about my conditions?" Mandala continued.

Jeff's expression struggled a little, "Mandala, you may really not know him, if he knows that I accepted your conditions, he will definitely not let me go." ”

"I can double my points." The mandala took a casual sip of whiskey.

Jeff's expression can be described as complex, his frowning brow and his constantly fluttering eyeballs betraying his anxiety. After a long period of thought, Jeff exhaled heavily, his expression hardened.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept that."

"You're so afraid of him?" Mandala looked at Jeff in surprise.

Jeff smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of him, I just admire him a little." To be honest, the first time I went on a group mission, I actually wanted to follow him, but he didn't like me. ”

"Oh? This is somewhat interesting, it seems that different people have different evaluations of him. Mandala smiled softly.

"There are as many people who admire him as there are those who slander him, don't try to understand him, don't provoke him, the result is definitely not something anyone can predict, not even you." Jeff replied calmly.

"I think you also saw the corpse of the fifth-level lurker who died next to him in the end, if the koala didn't count wrong at the time, there were more than thirty wounds on the body of that lurker caused by the lightsaber, and the most important thing is that the time of these wounds occurred almost at the same time, that is to say, Van slashed out more than thirty knives in a row in just a few seconds, and the knife did not leave the vital point."

"This man is not something we can speculate at all, most of the time he never responds to provocations, but whenever someone touches his bottom line, no one can withstand his sudden outburst of anger." Jeff took a sip of all the wine in the glass.

A waiter at the bar walked over at this moment, "Boss, there's a reformer coming in from outside, and he says his name is Fan." ”

"Let him in." Mandala waved his hand.

"There is an old saying in the old days, it is said that Cao Cao Cao arrived." Jeff spread his hands.

Van then pushed the door open, slightly surprised when he saw Jeff and Mandala together.

Then he sat down in the chair next to them.

"This mission is divided into all the parts I will transfer to your account tonight, with a total of 850 points." Van said to Jeff.

After hearing this, Jeff spread his hands, "We actually helped very little this time, you don't need to give so much, but Mandala contributed a lot in the end." Jeff pointed to the mandala.

"It was between me and her, and there was something I was going to ask her." Fan said lightly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first, you guys talk!" Jeff got up to leave.

"You can still consider my conditions, don't rush to make a decision." Mandala said to Jeff, who was about to leave.

Jeff shrugged helplessly, noncommittal.

After Jeff left, the mandala crossed his legs together and rested straight on the coffee table, pinned his hands behind his head, and asked in an extremely lazy tone, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

"I think it's up to me to ask." Van replied coldly, "In A-19's hive, you deliberately made the commander make a noise, and then deliberately delayed the time in the subsequent battle, and then woke up the high-level lurker, there are some things you already knew when the mission started, but you didn't say anything. Instead of stopping it from happening, you're secretly pushing it forward, and your purpose is to keep me dead, am I right? Miss Mandala. ”

Fan's tone was stiff and cold, and anyone could hear the anger hidden in his tone.

"You've even figured out a way out in advance, hiring a C-class transhuman team from A-19 to finish it off in advance, to prevent things from getting out of your control, if I'm not mistaken, the leader of that team is the one you met in the Lost Bar the night before the mission."

"There's no evidence for what you're saying, it's just your guess." The mandala took a nonchalantly sip of the whiskey in his hand.

"Heartbeat rises 10 beats per minute, body temperature rises by 0.1 degrees, breathing increases, blinking frequency increases, cerebral cortex is active, Miss Mandala, if you really don't care about this, can I think of these physiological reactions of yours as your affection for me?" Van said in an extremely sarcastic tone.

Mandala narrowed his eyes after hearing this, then put down the wine glass in his hand, and stared at Fan's face tightly.

"Smack, smack." Sudden applause echoed through the room.

Almost at the same time as the applause rang out, Van jumped into the shadowy corner of the room, clutching tightly the fork he had taken from the coffee table at some point.

"What a funny little guy." So says the man who suddenly emerged from the shadows.

"You shouldn't have come out." Mandala frowned tightly.
