The original expectation was perfect.

Ai Qing encountered the enemy, Ai Qing encountered danger, Huai Shi fell from the sky, Huai Shi simply and neatly exploded all the monsters, Huai Shi hero saved the beauty, Ai Qing was safe, and Ai Qing's favorability UP.

That's how it should be.

What went wrong?

Huai Shi looked around in amazement, the wreckage of monsters all over the ground, and the countless flying blood plasma, calmly dropped the submachine gun that shot in the air, and then pulled out an almost long nail blade from the crutch, straight into the girl in the skull of the last hyena.

Something doesn't seem right?

He froze in place, stunned in silence at the scene in front of him, then stiffly turned his head, took a few steps back, and walked back behind the wall.

"It's an illusion, it's an illusion, it's not the right way to open it just now, do it all over again. ”

He turned around again, took a deep breath, and jumped out of it: "Ai Qing, I'm here to save ......"

The scene still hasn't changed.

The only thing that was more was Ai Qing's compassionate and indifferent eyes as if she was mentally retarded.

"What's going on?" he scratched his head blankly.

When did the Ombudsman's combat effectiveness become so fierce?

Or is Ai Qing hidden deeply, but he is actually a master and a master?

The sword that happened just now, Huai Shi felt a chill in the back of his head just looking at it.

It wasn't until he put aside his embarrassment and looked intently at the girl in front of him that he realized that something was wrong, she was actually standing, steady, but her posture was unusually strange and stiff.

Even if it is perfectly in line with mechanics, no ordinary person would choose to stand like this, how to look at it and feel awkward.

It's like a machine.

"It's just that there's nothing wrong with the machine. ”

Speaking in mind-reading style as always, Ai Qing reached out and lifted the hem of the long skirt slightly, showing the steel structure at the ankles, as well as the slender structure that clings to the calf and extends upward, like a foil clinging to the skin.

The slender veins seemed to glow with something, faintly piercing the pale skin.

From the cracked skin of the knees and toes, sticky blood slowly fell.

It's like stepping on the tip of a knife.

She stood in front of Huai Shi.

"It's just an emergency response scaffold, don't look like you haven't seen the world, okay?"

She waved the blood dripping from her wrist and pulled a piece of her skirt down to bandage it nonchalantly.

"Uh......" Huai Shi didn't know what to say for a while, and scratched her head in embarrassment: "Why haven't I seen this high-level thing before?"

"The experimental type in the studio of the technical department has not yet been mass-produced, so I am a guinea pig for internal testing. ”

Ai Qing manipulated the auxiliary APP in her mobile phone, pulled the temporary surge to the lowest value, turned off the aiming module and the counterattack module, and the crazy beating heart finally calmed down, and bruises gradually appeared on her arms and ankles.

The abnormal blood color on the face faded, revealing a paleness.

Looking at Huai Shi's fully armed appearance, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Speaking of which, thanks to someone being put in prison, when it is critical, I can't even find a reliable thug, so I can only temporarily apply for one just ......in case."

"I'm really sorry for the trouble, so don't pursue this, okay?"

After losing the opportunity for the hero to save the beauty, Huai Shi's whole body got up: "Besides, didn't I just escape from prison and came to save you?"

"Something happened to the secret service?"

"Yes. Huai Shi thought about it for a long time, not knowing how to explain the tragic situation to her. Fortunately, Ai Qing had already understood what he meant, and after thinking for a moment, she frowned: "If you say that, is there something wrong with Qi Yuan?"

"Yes. ”

It's good to talk to Ai Qing, it's a little thorough, and you never have to bother.

After the two exchanged the situation, Huai Shi could finally throw this bunch of to Ai Qing with a headache. And he finally saw Shen Yue who was huddled in the corner and shivering:

"Who is this?"

"The sublimator who reinforces the local area, although it is a third-order, it doesn't look like it can be put to use. ”

She glanced back at Shen Yue and sighed, but she didn't say anything excessive after all. After all, his assistance has at least helped him a lot.

When introducing herself, Shen Yue reluctantly squeezed out some smiles. But when Huai Shi pulled the rope and dragged the iron whip that was dragging on the ground behind her, Shen Yue's expression completely dimmed, and she sat on the ground and never spoke again.

Obviously, the news of Jin Mu's death hit him hard.

"What's next, what are you going to do?" Ai Qing suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Huai Shi looked at her in confusion, hearing her ask for her opinion on her actions for the first time, not knowing what she meant.

"To be said, you are no longer a regular employee of the Astronomical Society, strictly speaking, and you do not need to be responsible for the Social Security Bureau and the Special Affairs Department, even if you are now in a state of escape, but this is caused by force majeure.

You're free, Huaishi, even if it's just now. ”

Ai Qing looked at him solemnly: "No matter what decision you make, I am no longer qualified to give you orders." ”

This is already a hint that could not be more obvious.

Whether he chooses to leave it alone or simply walk away, it is a perfectly normal choice, a valid reason for a person to defend his life.

He was not obligated to participate in this fight.

Huai Shi thought blankly for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "But this doesn't prevent me from wanting to chop Qi Yuan's grandson into pieces, right?"

Ai Qing looked at him calmly, and if he was about to speak, his eyes looked like he was looking at a fool.

After a long time, she sighed, took out her mobile phone, took a photo of Huai Shi's face, and saved his bewildered look.

The upload is complete.

"Then, Huaishi, I declare in the name of the International Astronomical Society that you have been called up for the safety of the present realm. ”

Ai Qing turned off her phone, took out a box from her waist bag, and threw it into his arms.

"Here's to you. ”

Huai Shi curiously held the palm-sized aluminum box and shook it curiously: "What is this? Is it popular for everyone to give me gifts recently?"

"Page 10th Anniversary Figure. ”

Ai Qing said expressionlessly: "Don't you like Peppa, take it back and put it at home in the morning and evening, and let it bless you with smooth sailing." ”

“...... What the hell?"

Huai Shi opened the box in amazement and was relieved to find that it was not a pink hair dryer inside.

In the middle of the black flannel, there is a silver-white bracelet, and the flat surface is printed with pitch-black lines, which does not look like some magical ancient spell, but rather like some kind of circuit integration.

Somewhere between old and new, it's hard to evaluate its style.

"New handcuffs?"

Curious, he picked up the bracelet and clasped it on his left wrist, and there was a small sound from the inner layer of the bracelet, tightening, but with moderate strength.

When he repeated the action of spreading his five fingers and clenching his fist on both sides, the wrist that was clasped on his wrist unfolded as if it were disintegrating, and the pieces of iron fit into each other, covered, and extended upwards, until finally they completely covered the back of the hand, turning into a thin fingerless glove, which was obviously made of steel, but there was no restriction on movement, and it did not hinder the holding of the knife.

The palm felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and there was a faint pain, but it was soon no longer felt. There is some kind of strange essentia structure in it, as if it were a stigma, but Huai Shi can't tell it. The palm of the glove looked like fur, or some kind of sandpaper, and Huai Shi tried to rub her hands, and heard the sound of iron pieces rubbing against each other.

"Stone from the Cavendish Workshop. Ai Qing said: "Extract the user's blood and essentia to intensify and achieve the goal of qualitative change, you can try it." ”

Huai Shi curiously summoned the sacrificial knife, stretched out his hand to wipe it from the blade, the palm faintly came from the cold feeling of being cut by the knife, and the stone gloves were drawing his blood, but with the palm of the hand, a faint electric light lit up on the sacrificial knife.

As he swung the knife in his hand, there was a crackling sound of electric light breaking through the air.

As it sliced through the wreckage of the monster on the ground, the cut of the blade was instantly charred black, and it soon collapsed downward, turning into ashes that were scattered by the wind.

"Looks like a good fit for you. ”

Ai Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, and she was satisfied with this result: "The specific effect depends on the amount of essentia you put in and the quality of the blood, if the stigma is advanced, the effect may be better, right?"

Anyway, no matter what, it's better than stupidly taking a knife and slashing it. ”

Huai Shi looked at the stone glove on her left hand in amazement, repeatedly experimenting with its effect, and felt more and more convenient.

Not only can it be perfectly superimposed with the heart poison, but unlike the impact of the concentric poison on the essentia, this layer of electric light plated on the blade is a real physical attack.

With it, it is equivalent to being able to turn an ordinary weapon into an alchemy product with border characteristics anytime and anywhere. It can be said that it suits you quite well.

As for the duration, the thunder light can probably last for more than a minute after a tempering, which is enough for Huai Shi's fierce fighting style that tends to melee combat.

"Thank you. He accepted the gift with satisfaction.

"Anyway, it's all things that are ready to be disposed of at a low price, and if you can use the residual heat in your hands, it can be considered to create some value. ”

Ai Qing didn't say much about its origin, just waved her hand: "There's too much gossip, it's time for you to go to work, Huaishi." ”

"What about you?"

"Do my job. ”

She unceremoniously rummaged through the travel bag that Huai Shi had brought over, replenishing her magazine and weapons. When she saw that there was a small women's bulletproof vest inside, she couldn't help but glance at Huai Shi in some astonishment, she didn't expect him to be so intimate.

In this regard, Huai Shi could only hold up a humble smile, saying that this is my heart, don't be polite.

"Well, then, I wish you all the best. ”

Ai Qing took one last look at him, but she still couldn't help but have a headache, after all, this guy didn't look like he could be smooth sailing.

No, I think it always feels like it's going to cool down quickly, right?

"Take this guy with you. ”

She suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Yue, who was autistic next to her, "Although it's a bit wasted, it's still a third-order sublimator, and it can be of some use." ”

Shen Yue looked up in amazement and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't refuse after all, but took the initiative to carry the bag and other miscellaneous items for Huai Shi, and finally carried the iron whip of the relic left by Jin Mu on his body.

His face was pale and he gasped.

It looks more and more unreliable.

Ai Qing rubbed her head with a growing headache, didn't say anything, just lowered her head and waved at them.

Anyway, have a nice trip.

She looked down at the meter in her hand and turned and walked out into the darkness.
