Chapter 37: The Dinner Party
Analyzing the information of the suspicious characters in the Cowherd shop back and forth, Wei Yanwu and Chen Fan spent the whole day like this, while Wu Xiu and the Husky knew that they couldn't help, so they went out to take a good turn in Fusang Street for a day and then returned at dusk, and went to the bathroom to take a shower to really blow the husky, and the Cowherd Brother who was dressed as a waiter knocked on the door of the three again:
"Three, the welcome dinner prepared by Lord Ziyan for everyone will start at seven o'clock, please don't be late for the three protagonists?"
Answering to say that he knew, Wei Yanwu stroked his forehead after sending away the waiter Cowherd, got up from the chair and began to twist his old waist: "Eh, mom, I can't sit for a long time when I'm old, and my waist can't stand it." ”
Closing his laptop, Chen Fan looked at Wei Yanwu expressionlessly: "But Uncle Wei, aren't you less than forty years old?" Only fifty or sixty people can say such things when they are old. ”
Sensing that Chen Fan's tone was full of gunpowder today, Wei Yanwu smacked his lips and didn't bother with him too much: "Well, that's what I said, but my physical condition is not as good as that of people less than forty, Xiao Chen, you should be more considerate and considerate." ”
Realizing his excesses in his words, Chen Fan squinted his eyes and nodded with a smile: "Well, I'll just say it casually, Uncle Wei doesn't have to take it to heart." Everyone is different from each other, isn't it? ”
Wu Xiu, who had just finished blowing the husky here, looked at Chen Fan and Wei Yanwu and smiled at each other, with an inexplicable expression: "I said, what are you two laughing at?" If you have this time, you should clean up your face and take care of your clothes before going to dinner, I don't want to be embarrassed in front of that number one god. ”
Looking at Wu Xiu with a little surprise, Chen Fan couldn't quite understand his anxiety: "What? Could it be that the resonance between the shemales makes you like Ziyan, the top cowherd, so much? Or is it that you, a dead shemale, have finally awakened the female sex in your heart and decided that you will continue to work in the store in the future? ”
As he spoke, Chen Fan was a little interested: "Hey, if that's the case, have you thought about your debut stage name?" Do you want to imitate a handful of purple smoke and name it the Golden Lion King? ”
"The Golden Retriever Lion King and Purple Smoke have a fart relationship!? Oh no, who wants to be a cowherd? I wanted to ask him why his skin was so well maintained!! Almost taken into the ditch by Chen Fan, Wu Xiu angrily threw a brush that had just been brushed with husky dog hair at him, but Chen Fan easily grabbed it and threw it back into the box: "Oh, I'll just make a joke, why can't you even make a joke?" Uncle Wei, look at him. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiu suddenly had an expression of "I really want to kill you", but he had never been courted by Chen Fan in terms of melee combat, and he had to attend the dinner party for a while and couldn't appear with scars, otherwise Wu Xiu would have to settle accounts with Chen Fan no matter what he said.
Seeing Wu Xiu start rubbing the husky's head with a sullen face, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but squint at Chen Fan: "Okay, don't make trouble, it just so happens that there are many customers at this dinner, so if you two have the opportunity, ask if there are any suspicious people or things in the store recently." The cowherd will take care of the influence of the store and avoid the important and light, but the old customers are happy and don't have so many worries. ”
After formulating the policy for tonight's activities, Wei Yanwu went to the bathroom to get ready to take care of his appearance.
Just looking at the door that closed after Wei Yanwu entered the bathroom, Wu Xiu scratched the husky's head with some confusion: "It's weird, why is Uncle Wei so familiar with women's thoughts?" Hasn't he only been a cowherd for two days? ”
Chen Fan was also convinced of Wu Xiu's brain circuit, and explained to him angrily: "Are you stupid?" When Uncle Wei was young, he was in Vienna, the music capital of Holy Rome, and spent several years in that kind of luxurious city where aristocrats gather and eldest ladies are everywhere, how could Uncle Wei not please women? ”
Nodding as if he didn't understand, Wu Xiu suddenly looked at Chen Fan: "Then again, did you make an old mistake again?" When you were in elementary school, you lost your temper because a girl was disobedient when you formed a team, and even slapped someone directly, so you were called a parent by the teacher. After all these years, I still think that you have learned to restrain your temper of being irritable when things are not under your control, how did you start again today? ”
As soon as he raised his hand to brush his hair and put it on the plate, Chen Fan snorted coldly when he heard this: "Heh, I admit that I am a little annoyed, but just like Wu Xiu, you are willing to trust Uncle Wei unconditionally, I will not trust anyone." ”
With that, Chen Fan straightened the neckline of his clothes and walked out of the room without looking back.
With the soft click of the closed door, Wu Xiu helplessly lowered his head and hugged the husky: "One or two have their own considerations, and they are so uneasy." If the world were full of smart people, I don't know what it would be like! But...... Is it really that hard to trust others? Husky ......"
Wang Wang responded to Wu Xiu twice, and the husky, who didn't understand anything, happily arched in Wu Xiu's arms, making him suddenly scream: "Ah! Stupid dog! It's all on my clothes, and it's taken me a long time to take care of it! Ha-shi-odd-"
…
…
Shuttling through the flow of people at the dinner, Chen Fan walked freely in the space that everyone subconsciously avoided, and it didn't take long for him to come to the corner near the stage, casually took the bottle of the waiter cowherd, and slowly tasted it alone.
While drinking wine, Chen Fan looked around, but everywhere he looked, both men and women subconsciously opened their eyes, so that Chen Fan's plan to collect intelligence was completely reimbursed.
Helpless, Chen Fan could only retract his gaze, and even his interest in appearing on stage completely dissipated.
After all, his dignity is scary and helpful, so why bother to make trouble for Wei Yanwu and Wu Xiu's dinner party?
After making a decision, Chen Fan completely shrank in the corner, and even stretched out his hand to gently outline a faint white line on the chair, and whispered:
"Hide, hide, sage at the spire, wise man who escapes the world;
Guide with your wisdom, reach with your eyes;
Please grant me darkness, please help me to dissipate;
Tarot Hermit. ”
As the last two words came out of Chen Fan's mouth, an invisible black mist slowly rose from his feet, and in a short time, Chen Fan's whole body was wrapped around without anyone noticing, completely fading out of people's field of vision.
In this way, Chen Fan drank the wine he brought in a sullen voice, and the words he said to Wu Xiu suddenly sounded in his ears: "But just like Wu Xiu, you are willing to trust Uncle Wei unconditionally, I will not trust anyone." ”
Yes, it is clear that so many worlds have been saved, not only will no one know about it, but even their own existence will soon be forgotten by the saved world, and this experience is enough even if it is only once.
However, where Chen Fan knows and doesn't know, such an experience has been staged many times that are meaningless to count with numbers.
In that case, how can you trust others if you know this?
Picking up the wine bottle and drinking it empty, Chen Fan just wanted to get up and go to get another bottle, and suddenly saw Wei Yanwu helplessly leading the husky to the stage, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Taking out his mobile phone from his inner pocket, Chen Fan found that it was already seven o'clock at the moment, which was the moment when his three people and one dog should appear.
It's just that I don't care about it, why didn't even Wu Xiu show up on time?
Just as he was puzzled, Chen Fan saw Ziyan twisting his waist from the backstage and stepping forward, while catching the attention of the audience, he could also see that he was holding two long glasses with champagne in his hands, and handed one to Wei Yanwu affectionately: "Old Wei, why are you alone on the stage?" Why didn't Xiao Wu and Xiao Chen come? ”
With a wry smile and took the cup, Wei Yanwu was also helpless: "Xiao Wu was rubbed by a husky, and he has to deal with it again; Xiao Chen...... He's got something going on, so he'll be right over. ”
Seeing that Wei Yanwu didn't drink the champagne immediately, Ziyan shook her head regretfully, picked up the cup and drank it all and took a step back, and began to applaud: "Everyone, this welcome dinner has officially started now, everyone eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy this night——"
Politely clapping his hands, Wei Yanwu saw that the husky also twisted his body and stood up, nodding his head with a head just enough to reach his chest and waving his front paws at the same time, his mood was just a little better, and he was shocked by Ziyan's next sentence:
"After all, this is the last time most of the people in the room will have fun."
In an instant, a cold light flashed from the backstage, bypassing the purple smoke that took a step back and swept across the entire stage, and dissipated into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
The whole body was in place, Wei Yanwu watched as the husky that fell from the standing position split in half neatly and silkily from his waist, and fell to the ground and whimpered blankly: "Wang? ”
Completely unaware of why the alloy body would leave the scene, the husky struggled to writhe stump, let out a few last whines, and then lay in a pool of blood.
The audience did not show any surprise or disgust, but applauded, as if to applaud the knife man who successfully cut off the husky.
It was only at this time that Chen Fan reacted, and after standing up in shock, he saw the petite white-haired girl with a knife walking out of the backstage, and the wrist holding the knife was already faintly twisted.
Without waiting for Chen Fan to do something, Wu Xiu's figure swayed out of the vicinity, and the figures closest to him immediately got up, took out knives from their respective bags or pockets and were about to stab him.
In less than a second, Chen Fan made a decision, and with a flick of his wrist, he conjured up several flying knives and threw them, knocking down those who had attacked Wu Xiu one after another.
Compared with Wei Yanwu, who Hu Weijiu personally said that there was no need to worry about below the third level and there were no obvious external injuries after the knife, Chen Fan was more inclined to protect Wu Xiu, who was close to him, but when he just knocked down the sneak attacker and walked to Wu Xiu's side, Wu Xiu raised his wrist like lightning and went straight to Chen Fan's throat with a knife.
With a soft click, Wu Xiu's wrist that stabbed out the knife was instantly twisted by Chen Fan, and then a headbutt smashed on the door in front of him, easily and neatly stunned Wu Xiu, who was manipulated again.
Seeing that Chen Fan had gotten rid of the crisis, Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sharp pain from his waist and abdomen, so he quickly stopped breathing, and turned his eyes to look at the purple smoke behind him: "You, no, you ...... Who the hell is it? It is impossible for an ordinary third-level to slash a husky with a single sword, let alone a second-level drifting spirit. ”
Xiao Si, who walked over, was still silent, just touching his wrist that was close to being broken, so Ziyan played the role of the talker: "It's nothing...... It's just a religion, and too many words tend to reveal their own information, after all, we don't want to be like the villain in the novel, after completing the task, he will report to his home and reveal a lot of information, and then be passed on by the good people who are dying and lead to defeat later. ”
As he spoke, Ziyan snapped his fingers lightly, and let the surrounding crowd of Cowherd Shop surround Chen Fan and stepped forward, stretching out his white palm to Wei Yanwu's chest: "Now, completing the task is the most important thing." ”
Seeing Ziyan's approaching palm and the black shadow that appeared after Chen Fan had sealed the singer before, Wei Yanwu suddenly figured out Ziyan's purpose: "You want to snatch my spirit core?" Can't you figure it out, so the singer will pay attention to me? It's a pity that the ability of the spirit department depends on the spiritual strength of the host, and my uncle doesn't have that strong ability. ”
Unhurriedly put his hand on Wei Yanwu's chest and began to grope slowly, Ziyan looked for the location of the spirit core, and said kindly: "Hawkers, it is worthy of being the second youngest fourth-level master, and he guessed our purpose so quickly, but I advise you not to move?" If you just cut it in half, you can wait for the Authority's rescue, but once you lose your balance and your body cracks, you won't live long like that stupid dog. ”
knew that what Ziyan said was true, but after Wei Yanwu saw Chen Fan, who was stabbing left and right in the crowd but sinking deeper and deeper, Wu Xiu, who was unconscious in his arms, and Xiao Si, who stepped off the stage and advanced towards them, the figure handing out the tomatoes suddenly appeared in his eyes.
So, Wei Yanwu sighed deeply:
"Forget it, I won't live long if I don't live long, I'm just waiting to die, Xiao Jiu is much more generous than the old bald head, and the pension must be indispensable."
So, Wei Yanwu took the initiative to break his balance in Ziyan's stunned gaze, raised his hands to summon the spirit contract, and then put on a posture of playing the violin.
"Song 4: The Oath of Nemesis."
The low sonata resounded throughout the Cowherd shop in an instant, except for Chen Fan and Wu Xiu, the bones of everyone present creaked in the bass sonata, and their actions were frozen in place.
Within a few seconds, some people could no longer bear the resonance of the bass, and their bodies fell down like mud that had been sucked out of their bones, slumped on the ground and became a circle of plasticine.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Fan instantly burst out with great strength, pointed a gun at Xiao Si with one hand, and led Wu Xiu to run wildly with the other, and soon broke out of the encirclement and came to the exit of the Cowherd Shop.
Turning his head to look at Wei Yanwu, Chen Fan, who was feeling that what Little Ninth Sister said was true, paused for a moment.
The man reflected in his eyes still couldn't resist the pull of gravity after losing his balance after losing his balance, and he was completely divided into two parts.
