The style of Queen's Road is different from King's Road, which is home to dignitaries and majestic columns, while the former is home to world-famous musical theatres, luxury restaurants and high-end coffee shops.

It is said that the ticket price of a world-famous musical "Phantom of the Card" on Queen's Road is equivalent to half a year's income of a family in the lower city. The entrance of the theater was decorated with black silk curtains and red carpets, and men and women in dresses walked out of the doors of the A-class shuttle that opened upwards, raised their hands and pressed the keys, and the shuttle dissipated into blue light particles and flew into the hands of the men to form a card.

This trick is much more clever than throwing the car keys to the doorman, although the two processes of "manifestation" and "dissipation" consume a lot of source power, and people who do not have the fire need to insert an expensive "source power card" into the shuttle to do it, but this amount of money is not worth mentioning for families who can afford to drive an A-class shuttle.

The flow of people on the cross street corners is endless, the huge billboards project three-dimensional virtual images, neon lights shine on the ground and a puddle of water, people hurry, and the night 'rumbles' - it's about to rain.

The man in a suit and leather shoes, with a straight tie, pigtails, and two black umbrellas like swords, stood on a street corner looking left and right.

His gaze was fixed on a certain place, Chu Yun did not speak rashly, and observed the young man in front of him in silence.

The young man has black broken hair, a brown stand-up collar trench coat with a suit vest, trousers and leather shoes, and is obviously familiar with the dress code of the "interview" part. He leaned slightly against the fire hydrant on the corner, raised his face to look up at the advertisement, turned his head boredly, and his gaze fell to this side, making a slight flicker.

"Chu ......"

"Don't call that nickname." Chu Yun threw Lin Xiao an umbrella forward, "The investigation team is not here, follow me." ”

Lin Xiao wore the standard brown leather gloves distributed by the Card Master Association, took the black umbrella that was thrown away, and showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Well...... This kind of black umbrella like a sword is very in line with Lin Xiao's aesthetics.

Led by Chu Yun, the two turned around on the complex avenue and walked into an old alley.

Lin Xiao glanced at the wires in the air in the old alley, then looked back at the huge neon billboard, and said:

"Is this a demolition price that has not been negotiated?"

"The price is so high that the project will naturally drag on, and there will be no more renovation plans in the future." Chu Yun said lightly, "Party A, Party B, plus ordinary citizens, the situation of three losses will often be seen in Xingtu City." ”

"So, the investigation team is set up in this kind of place?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Before the rise of Queen's Road, the area here was under the jurisdiction of the investigation team." Chu Yun glanced at the earth-gray alley walls, "Now, it's just that I haven't kept up with the times...... Let's go. ”

Through this narrow alley, the view suddenly becomes wider, and in this area that resembles an urban village, there is actually an office building and a coffee shop downstairs.

"There is more than one alley leading here, and you will gradually get acquainted with it later......"

Chu Yun stood behind Lin Xiao, took a long puff of cigarette roughly, crushed most of the remaining cigarettes with leather shoes, and said in a deep voice:

"I'll have to make sure again, have you really thought it through?"

Before Lin Xiao could answer, he raised his gaze, looked at the coffee shop in front of him, and read:

"The Pastoral Coffee Shop" is named after Beethoven's Sixth Symphony...... Everyone longs for an idyllic life, but it's the damn "fate" that stands in your way. ”

"You're really thinking about it, join here." Chu Yun said word by word, "Become a 'hero' who challenges fate and saves the world?" ”

"Brother Chu Yun." Lin Xiao said seriously: "I haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

The corner of the man's eyes twitched.

"I don't want to be a 'hero', I don't want to challenge 'fate', I just want to earn Star Coins and Source Dust."

Lin Xiao's tone became deeper and lower: "Moreover, you just said on the light curtain that you have a treat to dinner—right?" ”

'This kind of profit-driven investigator team members are smarter and live longer......

Chu Yun stopped Lin Xiao, who was trying to click on the light curtain record, and covered his face with his hand: "Let's go, I'll have a treat and go eat ramen." ”

"I don't eat it if it's not a pleasure." Lin Xiao said.

"You're right, the stall owner is a Naruto fan, so he specially changed his name to 'Ichiraku'." Chu Yun put on a paralyzed face.

"Really?" Lin Xiao's tone was surprised.

"Lie to you...... Are you a child? Chu Yun glanced at him.

"I think it's more naïve for you to want to 'save the world' – that can't really be your Tinder idea, right? Hey, go slower. ”

Thundered!

The rainstorm swept across the night and huge billboards, flooding pedestrians on Queen's Road. Even with the development of such a cross-generational technology as the 'virtual cabin', human beings are still helpless in the face of nature, still using centuries-old umbrellas, the wind blows the umbrella bones, causing passers-by to exclaim, and a shuttle jet wakes above people's heads, splashing a large amount of stagnant water.

"I've been waiting for a long time, the tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen of the two!"

The enthusiastic store manager tied his headband, brought two bowls of hot soup ramen with his tattooed arms, and placed them in front of Chu Yun and Lin Xiao in a soft voice.

Behind is the sound of 'banging' rain, pouring into the wooden floor, the office workers at the next table wiping their glasses, and the red lanterns and blue cloth 'squirming'.

'It's just a bowl of ramen, and I'll have to eat you when I get home. Lin Xiao looked at the palm of his hand.

'Ou...' came the source power induction of the poor Baba of Great Fortune from the tinder.

"The boss is a floating cherry blossom person, and his craftsmanship is very authentic." Chu Yun took a bite of noodles, looked at the salt shaker on the table, and said, "My previous group, after completing the commission, will come here for a celebration banquet. ”

Lin Xiao: "Suck and suck and suck ......"

Chu Yun: "Hey, are you listening!" ”

Lin Xiao glanced at Chu Yun with a gloomy look: "You have to concentrate when eating, because this is one of the few moments when office workers can stop talking about work and empty their minds." ”

Chu Yun was stunned, nodded reluctantly, 'whew' to blow away the heat of the noodles, and then scooped up the soup spoon, the strong ramen noodles and delicious broth bloomed in the taste buds, but the sound of heavy rain and the screams of his teammates echoed in his ears.

'This kind of rainstorm, there will be divers landing in the port city again......

Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao, who was concentrating beside him, sighed lightly in his heart, and thought, "After you join the investigation team, how far can you go." ’

Finish with a delicious bowl of tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen.

"Welcome to the next visit!" The shopkeeper waved a towel.

Lin Xiao and Chu Yun held black umbrellas in their hands and walked into the coffee shop called 'Pastoral' together at night.

It's work time, the store is empty, but the lights are still on, the chairs are lying upside down on the table, and the floor looks like it has just been mopped.

"Who are we going to find first?" Lin Xiao put away the wet umbrella and asked.

"Meet with the team leader first, then do a simple test of your strength, and assign the team according to your card suitability." Chu Yun replied.

"Team leader?"

"Well, the person in charge of coordinating the investigation team of Xingtu City is a Caucasian woman named 'Margaret', you can directly call her 'Team Leader'."

Lin Xiao glanced up at the menu of the coffee shop, inspected the wine cabinet behind the bartender, and always felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen it in some drama, and muttered:

"The team leader you're talking about...... Is she giggling? ”

Chu Yun: ?

There was a soft click, and a secret door next to the bar counter was pushed open, and a beautiful chestnut-haired and red-eyed beauty with white skin and red eyes poked out, wearing thin-rimmed glasses, a high ponytail with a thin-rimmed bow, and holding a document board in her hand.

"Is this a newcomer?" Sigrid's voice was a little stiff.

Secretly identifying the young man beside Chu Yun, Sigrid was slightly amazed, the real person looked even more handsome than from the surveillance screen.

She had no doubt that, on the condition of this young man, she would be able to make some ladies and ladies scream and fall for a job at the musical theatre on Queen Street.

Lin Xiao raised a polite smile, but Sigrid hugged the file board tightly, and the guard in her beautiful red eyes became a little thicker.

"This is a newcomer I recruited with my authority, just call him 'Lin'."

Chu Yun bowed slightly: "Sigrid, you came just in time, come with us to see the team leader." ”
