This is indeed a tavern.

But the person in front of him was called Su Xia.

"Rules ......"

Su Xia's face did not change, the glass wine glass turned around in his hand, and a few drops of wine spilled out of the glass.

This rule does have its meaning.

The killers who become official members are almost all psionic creatures, all of them have transcendent means and strong destructive power, and once they drink too much and fight in the tavern, the results can be imagined.

Without this rule, the basement of the tavern would not have been so peaceful, and I don't know how much money and time is wasted on repairing the facilities every year.

On the first floor above ground, in the area where ordinary people drink, there are no rules and regulations, and there are often fights.

But this rule is too rigid, and some disgusting things use the tavern as a refuge, which makes Su Xia feel very bad.

If one party brutally kills the other party's entire family and taunts them in front of them, can't the other party do it?

"Mask Boss, you know that rule, right?"

Xue Lin saw that Su Xia no longer spoke, and he felt a little confident in his heart.

His tense body loosened a little, still staring at the empty wine glass in his hand, and said in a suppressed voice: "Mask Boss, you have precious time, you can't keep watching me in the tavern." ”

"There is food and drink, there is accommodation, and women come and go in the tavern, and with the savings I have saved over the years, I can live here in luxury for the rest of my life......"

"Even if I can't leave the tavern, I can build a virtual reality room and enjoy the whole world without leaving my home......"

“……”

He babbled and talked about this, naturally in order to force Su Xia back.

A person like him can live in the Zero Tavern for the rest of his life, but what about Su Xia?

It is rumored that the masked monster is free, unrestrained, and dashing, coming and going like the wind, can he really stay in this little tavern for the rest of his life?

Xue Lin was sure that Su Xia would not dare to violate the principles of the tavern, and as he spoke, the confidence in his tone increased.

He felt that he had the initiative in the negotiations.

"Mask boss, people's desires are endless, and if there is demand, there will be a potential market, and I am just a supplier to meet the market."

He mentioned his sugar water company, which was also at the root of the conflict.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw his responsibility to the so-called potential market, and he tried to shift the conversation away from him and the entire sugar industry.

"There are other similar products like sugar water, which have existed since ancient times." Xue Lin said seriously, "Even if I don't do it, someone else will do it, I just got a little bit of the cake." ”

"In this city, my market share is only about 15%, and they are all sinking markets, making very little money, if you really want to do something in this industry, why don't you keep an eye on the two largest family businesses in the city?"

"Jiang's Group, and Wei's Group, their group buildings are all standing in the center of the city, and they own more than 70% of the market ......"

“……”

Xue Lin likes to play with the set of shifting the topic, and is good at creating contradictions and fanning people's hearts.

He himself is still in danger, but he wants to lead the troubles to the east and let Su Xia deal with his two sworn enemies.

But Su Xia didn't eat this, but said calmly: "That rule has a premise, I think your master should know." ”

"Mask Boss, do you want Master to strip me of my full membership?"

Xue Lin seemed to have expected it.

The premise of that rule is simple: the objects to be bound are all official members of the tavern.

He understood that the masked monster was here waiting for Xue Lie to come back, undoubtedly to tell Xue Lie what he had done, and then ask Xue Lie to remove him from the employee system.

Once his name disappears from the system, he is no longer protected by this rule.

Xue Lin was not afraid, and the confidence between his words was even more: "No, Boss Mask, I didn't violate the rules, even my master can't delete my identity." ”

"Really?"

"Mask Boss, you haven't read the employee handbook, have you?"

Xue Lin was more calm, and his inner turmoil became less and less.

Since Su Xia talked about this matter, it showed that he intended to act according to the rules, and this rule could not be bypassed.

"As long as three tasks are successfully completed each month and there are no violations, the full membership will be automatically renewed, and the store owners of the local branches may not expel the full members for any reason."

As he spoke, Xue Lin unhurriedly took out a blue booklet from his clothes and calmly placed it on the bar.

Employee handbook for the Zero Point Tavern!

Truth be told, most of the official members hadn't seen it.

After joining the tavern, you don't have to worry about anything other than a few basic questions to be aware of.

Su Xia really hasn't seen it.

But Xue Lin studied every rule on it clearly, after all, the Zero Point Tavern was his last retreat.

He opened the pamphlet and said calmly: "Mask boss, you can take a look, we are killers, whether it is killing, selling* or **, it is allowed, this is the personal behavior of the members, and the tavern will not expel the members because of this kind of thing." ”

He was rightly saying this, there weren't actually many good people in the tavern, and most of the missions were killing missions, and they were killed regardless of whether they were good or bad.

They are all killers, how clean can they be?

In normal times, Su Xia had done enough for him to squat in the cell for the rest of his life.

"With Master's character, when he finds out what I did, he will be very angry, but he will only cut off the master-apprentice relationship with me, and he will not be able to expel me."

Xue Lin pressed the booklet tightly, this was his biggest reliance.

Su Xia didn't say anything about this, he put down the wine glass in his hand and instructed the waiter behind the bar: "Keep this glass of wine for me, I'll come back at ten o'clock to drink it." ”

"Yes."

The waiter bowed forward, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Previously, Su Xia paid in cash and did not use an identity card, so the waiter did not know his identity.

But now, through the conversation between the two, the waiter knows that he is the legendary masked monster who crawled out of hell!

It would be a great honor to have a few simple words with such a big person.

He carefully put away the wine glass, not a drop of wine in the glass spilled, and watched the back of Su Xia leaving.

Xue Lin smiled coldly and said, "This masked monster is just an ordinary person who is bound by the rules, and I think he is so powerful. ”

"Why didn't you say that when he was there?" The waiter asked him.

"Just give him some face!"

Xue Lin snorted, put away the employee handbook on the bar, and walked back to the sofa in the hall with a wine glass.

He didn't dare to leave the tavern now, for fear that Su Xia would be waiting for him outside the tavern.

With the terrifying strength of the other party, the moment his feet left the tavern, his head would be separated from his body.

"Back at ten? It seems that he still wants to see my master. Xue Lin sat on the sofa and thought to himself, "It's always a trouble to keep him. ”

But in this city, the only people who can deal with masked monsters are the mechanical clan and those two big families.

Xue Lin took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, found a name, his finger stayed on the top of the name, and hesitated for a long time.

The most important thing now is his life.

Nothing else is compared to that.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth, a look of pain flashed across his face, and he made up his mind to fight it.

"Hello? Mr. Jiang......"

……

After Su Xia left the tavern, he didn't stay guarded outside.

He left nanobots on Xue Lin's body, which can monitor its movements at all times.

After the last battle with An Lan, there were not many nanobots left in his hand, and he could no longer cover his whole body perfectly, so he could only do some reconnaissance and patrol work.

There was still an hour before Xue Lie returned, and Su Xia planned to use this time to visit the slums of the city.

The slum is very close to the old town where the Zero Tavern is located, just out of the old town.

There were several family members of the Old North Wind Organization inside.

Different from Coral City, the slums of Fish Scale City are renovated from the previous factory buildings, staff dormitories, family buildings, etc., and look a little better on the outside.

But the situation is not much better.

Su Xia walked into the old and dangerous buildings, walked through the dirty and chaotic corridors, and the stench always lingered on the tip of his nose.

These stenches come from large quantities of household waste, wastewater, dead rats and even discarded dead babies.

In almost every small, dark room, there are seven or eight or even more than a dozen residents.

People in the normal world may not be able to stand just staying here for more than ten minutes, and it is hard to imagine how these people can live here for a long time.

"It's half past nine, and the sun has been out for so long, why hasn't the fog dispersed?"

Su Xia stood outside the building and took a breath of fresh air, but felt a little uncomfortable in her respiratory tract, and there was a feeling that she wanted to cough.

In the memories of the previous commander, the city was heavily polluted and foggy all year round.

Feeling it personally today, Su Xia realized how serious it was.

"Ahem......"

Su Xia cleared her throat, always feeling something stuck to her throat.

He changed into a better mask, put it back on, and went back to the dilapidated old buildings and factories.

This time, he didn't spend much time, and it only took more than ten minutes to find a family member of the old North Wind organization.

The member's name is Liu Xiaoyu, a very cute little girl, who was just an adult when she joined the North Wind Organization, and a few months later suffered that cruel night, and died in her sleep from artillery bombardment.

There are still three people alive in her family, a cousin Liu Hongying in her thirties, and two children aged five or six.

In this kind of place, it is not easy for a woman to pull two children to grow up.

Su Xia stood in the distance and observed for a moment, both children looked malnourished.

Liu Hongying's skin is sallow, her face is sickly, she is as thin as wood, her lips are bloodless, and the beggars on the street are not much better in tattered clothes.

It's just that her lower abdomen is slightly distended, and she seems to have a third child.

Su Xia blinked, looked carefully, and a line of prompts popped up in front of her eyes.

[Liu Hongying, female, 33 years old, cousin Liu Xiaoyu, former member of the North Wind Organization, is three months pregnant]

[Advanced gastric cancer, cancer cells have spread to the whole body, and it is expected to survive for two months]

Liu Hongying held her two children, half leaning on the rusty iron bed, quietly looking out the window, her expression was numb, her eyes were empty, as if she had given up all hope, living one day at a time, just waiting for death to come.

Su Xia sighed lightly, did not come closer, filled some banknotes in one iron box, and six potions in another iron box, and then wrote a few words.

"Life always gets better......
