After the rain.

Midnight Street.

The street lights are dim and warm.

From time to time, cars are speeding through the streets.

Occasionally, you can see some people with a rich nightlife laughing and walking slowly down the streets.

Flash.

Three figures appeared on the street.

Wu Xiaode leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.

"I'm back." He muttered.

"It's finally back." Xia Huilan had palpitations in her heart.

"Sister, I need to take a break." Xia Salamander Road.

"Let's go to the alley, I'll put you back in the suitcase and wait until I find a place with an outlet to charge you." Xia Hui Landau.

"Charging? The summer salamander turned out to be charged? Wu Xiaode said in surprise.

"She's compatible with a lot of energy supplements, from solar to electrical to nuclear — and to be honest, she's actually playing tricks on me." Xia Hui Landau.

After speaking, he pulled the summer salamander into a small alley.

Wu Xiaode remembered something, and hurriedly jumped on the wall and looked towards the big tree.

Before leaving, he placed the suitcase full of money on the tree.

- The box is still there!

Wu Xiaode took off the suitcase, feeling a little more secure in his heart.

His and Sister Lan's house was burned down.

If you don't have money, even food and shelter will be a problem.

Now with this money, there is no fear.

He shook his head and picked up his phone to take a look.

A group message popped up above:

"@全体成员活着回来的吱一声."

This is the message that the owner of the club has just sent.

There was a sporadic response below.

Wu Xiaode was just about to reply, but suddenly remembered that in the group of this S-level club, he was a martial arts master with a very high soul power.

- How did you come back so quickly?

The club owner was supposed to be strong, so he came back after the kill.

Yourself, it's better to wait for more people to respond, and it's okay to respond together in one of them.

Thinking so, he put down his phone again.

Waited a while.

Xia Huilan walked out of the alley, dragged a suitcase, and smiled at him: "I finally spent the first night safely, where are we going now?" ”

"I'm so hungry and want to eat."

"Me too."

……

Night market.

Wu Xiaode slumped in his chair, and Xia Huilan sat on the side, ticking on the menu.

It was 6 p.m. when I returned from the Death Cave, and it was already about 1 p.m.

From driving away the gangsters, confessing for Zhao Junyu, going up to the burning building to talk to the female corpse, saving Xia Huilan, killing three people in a row, joining the S-class club, going to the underground passage to fight the head basilisk, completing the undead mission, dealing with the one-horned three-eyed giant snake, and guessing the demon-

It's only been 7 hours!

Wu Xiaode thought about it himself, and he felt incredible.

- I'm tired and hungry now.

It just so happened that Xia Huilan didn't have dinner, so the two of them combined, it was better to have a supper first.

"What more do you want to order?" Xia Huilan handed the menu to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode glanced at it and shouted: "Boss, order it, just these dishes, hurry up!" ”

"Howler!"

The boss answered from afar and hurriedly came over to take the menu away.

"Is there a power strip?" Xia Huilan asked.

"Yes, over there." The boss pointed.

Xia Huilan pulled out a plug from the suitcase, took it, and plugged it into the power strip.

Wu Xiaode suddenly heard a soft laugh coming from the suitcase.

"She's laughing?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"No, she's sleeping, it's her charging reminder." Xia Huilan shrugged.

She poured a cup of hot water for Wu Xiaode, and said with concern: "I saw a lot of corpses fighting you through remote monitoring, you didn't suffer any injuries, right?" ”

"You help me see what's on my back." Wu Xiaode lifted his clothes and turned his back to say.

"It's nothing." Xia Huilan looked at it carefully several times before she said.

"Strange......" Wu Xiaode muttered.

When I faced the one-horned three-eyed snake before, there was a bone-chilling pain in my back, which made me sober up on the spot.

Otherwise, whether he can come back alive or not depends on two words.

No, it's too big this time.

- We must not make such a mistake again in the future.

"What's wrong with that?" Xia Huilan asked.

"My wrist hurts a little." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan held his hand and slowly squeezed it.

Wu Xiaode let her help him pinch, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly pulled an arc.

When I was in junior high school, I once rolled down the stairs with others and broke my arm, and Xia Huilan has been taking care of herself.

After Xia Huilan went to college, she was sick for a period of time, had a high fever, and was bedridden at home.

That time, Wu Xiaode took leave to take care of her for a few days.

The two still have a tacit understanding on this kind of thing, and they take it for granted with each other.

After all.

There is no one else left to take care of them.

"I'll be with you next midnight." Xia Huilan said in a low voice.

"No, it's too dangerous." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan opened her beautiful eyes and stared at him with a warning on her face.

"Let's talk about it." Wu Xiaode said sloppily.

Although the soft rice is very fragrant, Sister Lan must not be allowed to go next time.

Sister Lan didn't see the snake.

That sharp-horned, three-eyed serpent is so terrifying that it can manipulate people's minds.

It must have a lot of great abilities.

It's really not reassuring.

Wu Xiaode was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a familiar face not far away talking to the boss.

The man spoke for a while, and the boss nodded repeatedly.

After speaking, the man walked over slowly and sat down at the table of two.

"This is Miss Xia Huilan, fortunately, I'm Zhao Junyu."

Zhao Junyu said.

"What did you say to your boss?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"How many dishes have been added - don't you introduce me to them?" Zhao Junyu asked.

"Oh," Wu Xiaode pulled his hand out of Xia Huilan's hand, moved a chair for Zhao Junyu, and said, "Sit." ”

"This is a friend of mine, named Zhao Junyu, whose hobby is to confess to people in public - this is Xia Huilan, a scientist." Wu Xiaode introduced the two.

"Hello, Miss Xia." The corners of Zhao Junyu's mouth twitched, and he greeted politely.

"Hello." Xia Huilan laughed.

- Wu Xiaode's introduction is so casual, at first glance, he treats the other party as his own, so there is no need to be too vigilant.

"Miss Xia, I'm here tonight, mainly for you." Zhao Junyu said.

"Me?" Xia Huilan was puzzled.

"Yes, I have shares in Guangming United Manufacturing Technology Company at home, and I have a certain right to speak, it just so happened that Xiao Wu told me about your situation, I want to ask you to return to the company and continue to work." Zhao Junyu said.

Xia Huilan looked at Wu Xiaode.

"You decide." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan said: "I have already written my resignation——"

Zhao Junyu interrupted her and said: "Don't care, all the middle and senior levels have changed blood, as long as you go back, you will be responsible for the company's scientific research direction." ”

Xia Huilan was stunned.

Guangming United Manufacturing Technology Company is a behemoth, is it crazy that this college student in front of him can say such a thing?

"Are you sure?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, we have studied the past scientific and technological achievements, talked with many middle-level scientific research personnel overnight, searched the company's R&D line patent catalog, and found that the real leader should be Miss Xia Huilan." Zhao Junyu said.

"He shouldn't be bragging." Wu Xiaode said to Xia Huilan.

"If it's really up to me...... What about my mentor? Xia Huilan asked.

"This is tonight, the police have experienced corpses and come to the conclusion that he had overdosed on drugs and hallucinated, jumped off a building and fell to his death." Zhao Junyu said.

Xia Huilan was stunned, flipped out her phone, and began to look for information.

"Drug addiction? I really don't know about that......"

She flipped through the messages on her phone's screen and muttered quietly.

Wu Xiaode and Zhao Junyu glanced at each other, and tacitly did not say a word.

At this time, a few side dishes were served.

Wu Xiaode grabbed the bowl and went to fill a few bowls of rice, and the three of them ate it.

Zhao Junyu didn't eat much, but after going to chopsticks a few times, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and began to drink the tea in his cup.

"I need to finish that......" Xia Huilan muttered in a low voice after reading the message.

Wu Xiaode subconsciously glanced up at her.

Yes.

According to Xia Huilan's original words, Xia Salamander is a Type 92024 combat robot, and there is an even more terrifying model that has not been completed.

- Type 92025.

Xia Huilan clapped her hands and said as if determined: "Xiao Wu, I want to make a stronger girl for you and help you use it at night." ”

Zhao Junyu subconsciously glanced up at Wu Xiaode.

"You? At night? Use? He asked in an incomprehensible tone.

"I can do it myself." Wu Xiaode shook his head and said.

Though......

But Sister Lan can't be allowed to take any more risks.

"Xiao Wu, don't be too big in the face of danger, you really need something to help you top it, otherwise your consumption will be too fast." Xia Huilan said in an affirmative tone.

Zhao Junyu looked at Wu Xiaode, and then at Xia Huilan.

Both of them had serious faces.

Zhao Junyu's eyebrows moved, and he began to think about the specific meaning of these words.

Wu Xiaode was defeated in Xia Huilan's eyes, and he said to him:

"Maybe the place where I teleported is incomparably dangerous, and if it were to be used elsewhere, there would be no such terrifying monsters."

"It's a good relief, but the world is full of unknowns, and you have to prepare for the worst." Xia Huilan insisted.

Wu Xiaode lowered his head, and suddenly remembered the group announcement of the S-level club in his heart.

"Saving your life is the first principle."

Since life preservation is the first principle, it proves that wherever you go, there is always danger.

According to the undead man-

It was a time when myths appeared, and there were only demons, not gods.

So how dangerous that world really is, you can already see it.

However, there is no need to say this kind of thing, which makes Xia Huilan worry in vain.

He put away his phone and said, "Sister Lan, I won't have a problem, as for you, you have already left that technology company, there is no need to go back." ”

Xia Huilan didn't speak for a while.

Zhao Junyu said: "Frankly speaking, that company is the strongest mecha research company in the country, and only it is worthy of Miss Xia Huilan's research and development capabilities." ”

"It's too tired, it's not necessary, she doesn't want to do it herself, don't force her." Wu Xiaode glared at him and said.

"Xiao Wu, you are improving, others are also improving, what if one day that world merges with our world?" Zhao Junyu said seriously.

Wu Xiaode was shocked.

I really didn't think about this angle.

Could it be true?

He gave Zhao Junyu a serious inquiring look.

Zhao Junyu nodded worriedly and sighed: "This is the most popular speculation at present. ”

"I'm going to think again." Xia Huilan hesitated.

Wu Xiaode's ears suddenly sounded the sound of crows.

The spirit of the crow had been quietly staying on his shoulder, and then he flapped his wings and said, "Now, Xiao Wu, I'm tired to death, I want to go back to absorb soul power, and these soul powers will be given to you first." ”

The Book of the Dead opens.

Rows of small ice crystal characters exuding cold air appeared in front of Wu Xiaode's eyes:

"The spirit of the crow has given you a portion of the accumulated soul power."

"Your soul power limit has been raised."

"Current Soul Power: 7/7."

The crow yawned, flapped his wings and said: "10 points of soul power is a dividing line, strive for us to stay up all night together tomorrow night and do more soul power upgrades." ”

"Okay, you go back and rest—what's going to find you tomorrow night?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"There's a wall on your Book of the Dead, and I'll leave you a contact on that wall - it's your only medium to connect to the spirit world." Raven said.

That's the Wall of Wishes.

"Okay, stay in touch." Wu Xiaode said.

"See you later!"

The spirit of the raven flapped its wings and flew high into the sky and disappeared.

At this time, there was a commotion in the streets outside the night market.

Zhao Junyu turned his head to look at it and said casually: "These people will cause trouble when they drink too much." ”

Wu Xiaode also glanced out into the street.

I saw a group of people grab a young man and go up and beat him one by one.

"Is there a camera on this street?" Wu Xiaode asked while picking up vegetables.

"It's the liveliest night market at night, and it's full of cameras." Xia Huilan answered.

"Then it's not a big deal." Wu Xiaode said.

While the men were talking, the group had beaten the man to the ground.

Blood poured out of the man's head.

"It's red!" Xia Huilan covered her mouth and said.

"Looks like you guessed wrong." Zhao Junyu said to Wu Xiaode with a smile.

Wu Xiaode looked up.

As soon as the group saw the man fall to the ground, covered in blood, they suddenly woke up, flashed one after another, and soon disappeared.

"Good deal." Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

"What kind of deal?" Zhao Junyu said strangely.

"Look at the guy lying on the ground, he made a phone call, and then he lay on the ground playing on his phone - is he crazy?" Xia Hui Landau.

The three of them looked together, only to see that the man was holding his head with one hand, and he had finished making a phone call.

"Probably looking at something, ready to buy something." Wu Xiaode said.

"How is that possible!" Zhao Junyu and Xia Huilan said in unison.

"Really, I don't lie to you - this man is a veteran." After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to gobble up.

Zhao Junyu hesitated for a while, picked up his mobile phone and said, "Go to someone, see what the person is doing, and see what he is doing." ”

Soon.

A young man wearing a mask walked over, squatted in front of the man, looked at him, and said a few words to him.

The police car came.

An ambulance also came.

The young man wearing the mask stopped talking to him, got into the ambulance, and was pulled away.

At the same time, Zhao Junyu's mobile phone rang.

"Childe, the person who was beaten chose a new car online."

"What? Being beaten like this, why do you lie on the ground and choose a car? ”

"He said that he had a cracked nose and a broken head, at least to meet the standard of minor injuries, and if the other party didn't pay enough money, he was going to go to prison."

“…… Got it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Junyu and Xia Huilan stared at Wu Xiaode together.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Xiaode was inexplicable.

"Xiao Wu, how do you know this?" Xia Huilan asked.

"That's what a society by the rule of law is." Wu Xiaode shrugged.
