Xu Shen probed from Li Meina, but didn't ask about the specifics, so he could only come to the bureau dressed up.

"Yanagi Bureau."

In the office, I saw Liu Jichuan, and Li Meina, who was wearing a black office skirt next to him.

Liu Jichuan saw Xu Shen, smiled, and asked Li Meina to prepare a cup of coffee for Xu Shen: "Sit." ”

"The director is looking for me?" Xu Shen sat down, took the coffee handed by Li Meina and whispered thank you, Li Meina responded with a smile and quietly stepped aside.

"Now that you are the captain of the bureau and the personal guard of the queen ant, you want money and wealth, power and power, do you have any ideas for the future?" Liu Jichuan took out a big cigarette, Li Meina bent down to help him light it, and the smoke slowly drifted out of his mouth, covering his face, looking quite mysterious.

"Future?"

It's a luxury word, a word that the vast majority of people don't dare to enjoy.

But Xu Shen is indeed qualified to think about these two words now.

"Cultivate, enjoy life, and if you have the opportunity, it would be best to become a king." Xu Shen said calmly.

This kind of thinking is also very normal.

Liu Jichuan bowed slightly, most of the thoughts of any two states are like this, becoming a king is the ultimate goal of all two states, he said softly: "The status of a king is noble, and it is extremely difficult to become a king, you need to put it to death and be reborn, and Nirvana reunites the body, this level itself is extremely difficult, but coupled with the deterioration purifying agent we injected, it is even more difficult." ”

Xu Shen nodded slightly, he understood this.

"Inferior purifying potion?" Next to her, Li Meina spoke up and asked suspiciously.

Liu Jichuan then explained: "That's right, there are two kinds of ruin purifying agents, one is high-grade, pure version, and the other is deterioration, which is the kind we use, the high-grade ruin-purifying agent is commonly used in the inner city, and the ruin-purifying agent transported to our hands contains impurities, and when the two-state limit is reached, all these impurities need to be removed before they are qualified to knock on the king's door." ”

Li Meina was surprised: "Doesn't this mean that we have to delay some more efforts in vain?" Why is this happening? ”

"When you come to the Golden Mountain and you see people climbing up behind you, you naturally want to throw some rocks and throw them down and make them an obstacle." Liu Jichuan said softly.

"It's ugly...... Li Meina whispered.

Liu Jichuan glanced at Xu Shen, and saw that Xu Shen's expression was calm, as if he had known about it for a long time, he said softly: "You seem to have understood this kind of thing." ”

Xu Shen nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

Liu Jichuan glanced at Xu Shen deeply, and did not ask where Xu Shen heard about it, this kind of secret, ordinary people will not easily reveal it, maybe Xu Shen learned from the queen ant when he became the queen's guard?

Anyway, since Xu Shen already knew, he didn't need to explain more.

"The deteriorating debris purifier distributed to you by the bureau is also a last resort." Liu Jichuan sighed: "This can only be purchased from the inner city, the whole city is using it, and the same is true for other bottom cities, this is no way." ”

Xu Shen nodded slightly.

Liu Jichuan glanced at Xu Shen, as if he was thinking, and soon took a puff of smoke, gently knocked down the cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "Are you free, go out with me?" ”

"Okay."

Xu Shen could only agree.

Liu Jichuan stood up, Li Meina handed him a coat to put on, and immediately took the lead out of the office to arrange a vehicle.

Xu Shen and Liu Jichuan walked out of the office side by side, and now Xu Shen has the gold belt of the queen's guard, and his status is not inferior to him, and neither of them cares about these small places.

I met other people in the bureau along the way, and when I saw the two of them, I hurriedly bowed my head and said hello.

Out of the secret bureau of the ruins, Li Meina drove in front, and Xu Shen and Liu Jichuan sat in the back of the car.

"What do you think of the environment in our underground city?" Yanagikawa rolled down the window, an unpredictable smile on his face.

"Environment?"

Xu Shen's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What does the director mean?" ”

"What are you seeing?" Liu Jichuan asked rhetorically.

Xu Shen pondered: "If it is a road environment, the Muhuang District is relatively clean and tidy, and our Heiguang District is also relatively prosperous outside the city, but the suburbs are a little backward. ”

Liu Jichuan listened quietly, smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is because the financial resources have not been implemented below, with the finances of the Black Light District, although it will not improve all the suburbs, it will at least be better." ”

Xu Shen is noncommittal, the money for construction has been divided, and naturally there will be no good environment.

Seeing that Xu Shen didn't answer, Liu Jichuan continued: "But even if it is this bad environment, the vast majority of people can adapt to it, after all, the people who live in the suburbs are fog people, and they can't see it, the roads are dirty and messy, at most a few complaints and two angry scoldings, and it will pass, even if someone complains, it is a very small number of people." ”

Xu Shen nodded: "For Wumin, the requirements are not high, being able to live, marry a wife and have children, and then have a stable job until old age, it is happiness." ”

"yes......"

The laugh lines in the folds on Liu Jichuan's face disappeared, and he sighed lightly: "It's because the requirements are too humble, but they will only be more humble." ”

Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

The more you lower your own needs, the more others will gain an inch and erode your rights.

However, if they are not forced to be helpless, who is willing to give up their own interests?

The car pulls into a manor house in the city and stops.

The manor is quite clean, Liu Jichuan said: "Come and visit an old friend, this old friend is an old employee of the tax bureau, and he helps me take care of a lot of my money and help me manage my finances." ”

Xu Shen was a little surprised, but didn't ask much.

Several people got out of the car and came to the front of the manor, where they saw a big yellow dog squatting at the gate of the manor.

Seeing a few people, the big yellow dog quickly got up and barked in a low voice.

A young girl suddenly ran out from behind the manor, wearing a white dress, and when she saw a few people at the door, she said in surprise: "Uncle Liu, Sister Mina." ”

"Elena, I brought you a small gift." Li Meina took out the gift bag that had been prepared in the car and handed it out.

Xu Shen noticed that the little girl had blond hair, brown pupils, and a rather delicate face, which looked different from most people, but ...... It's a bit similar to the queen ant, and it seems to be the same race.

Liu Jichuan smiled and said, "I'll talk to your father about something." ”

"Okay, Uncle Liu." Elena nodded obediently.

Liu Jichuan noticed Xu Shen's puzzled look and said in a low voice: "Elena and their family are of ancient Simon blood, and there were many bloodlines in a long time ago, but they later died out in the race war, and now it is the era of great unification, and a small number of bloodlines like them are small, mainly concentrated in the inner city. ”

Xu Shen suddenly realized that he had not seen that historical record, maybe it was too dark and hidden.

When the girl saw Xu Shen, she smiled toothily, very sweet and cute.

Several people entered the house, and Elena's father, who had tan hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose, looked tough and handsome, also of Simon descent.

The latter warmly welcomed the three of them and asked the nanny to prepare coffee and snacks.

Xu Shen saw that the decoration of their home was also unique, and Liu Jichuan chatted with Elena's father about financial management, such as bank interest, recent investment projects, and so on.

Both of them intentionally or unintentionally set their eyes on Xu Shen and Elena.

"Xiao Xu, if you want to be bored, go upstairs with Elena first, and wait for me to talk about it, let's go together." Liu Jichuan said with a smile.

Xu Shen wanted to say that it was not boring, although he didn't understand it, he also listened to it with relish, because he felt that this was the knowledge he lacked, he had a sponge-like attribute, and wanted to absorb all unknown knowledge.

But seeing the different information in Liu Jichuan's eyes, Xu Shen understood that this was not a kind word, maybe the latter wanted to talk about something that was inconvenient for others to listen to, so he immediately nodded knowingly.

Elena's face was slightly red, and under her father's care, she went upstairs with Xu Shen.

"I'll go too." Li Meina said.

Liu Jichuan glanced at her, "Young people, don't make do with it." ”

Li Meina was stunned, isn't she young?

She suddenly wanted to go find a mirror to look at.

Upstairs.

This place is quite spacious, Elena blushed on her cheeks, and said to Xu Shen: "Brother Xu, are you a subordinate next to Uncle Liu?" ”

"Subordinates? Sort it off. Xu Shen nodded, looking around at the other decorations here.

"I heard that what Uncle Liu does is very dangerous, and he often has to deal with some invisible things, is Brother Xu too?" Elena asked curiously.

Xu Shen nodded: "You seem to know something." ”

"I've heard some of Daddy say it." Elena smiled, took Xu Shen to a piano room, and said, "Brother Xu, do you like to play on swings?" ”

In the corner of the piano room, there was a swing.

It's just that at the moment there is someone sitting on it, and it is Maeve.

She moves faster than she does...... Xu Shen's gaze shifted and said, "It's okay." ”

Elena smiled, sat down in front of the piano, and said, "Does Brother Xu usually listen to music?" ”

"Music ......" Xu Shen thought of the definition of music in the book, rhythmic melody...

Does the miserable roar of the ruin beast count?

"Listen once in a while." Xu Shen said.

"Occasionally?"

"You'll hear it when you're on a mission."

Elena was surprised and said with a smile: "Then I'll play a song for Brother Xu." ”

"Okay."

Xu Shen sat on the swing next to him naturally, grabbed the swing and swayed.

Maeve stood on the swing board with her feet, looking as if her calf was wrapped in Xu Shen's arm, and as the swing swayed, her body swayed with it.

"How do you know I like to play?" Maeve said with a happy smile on her face.

You're all sitting down, I don't know...... Xu Shen said in his heart, but he smiled on the surface, as if he was tilting his head to listen to the sound of Elena playing the piano in front of him.

Although there was no response, Maeve let out a happy laugh as Xu Shen shook him.

The smile on Xu Shen's face was also stronger.

Elena saw Xu Shen's intoxicated appearance smiling, and she also played more energetically.

The notes are like rhythmic spring water, and at the end of a famous song, she got up and picked up her dress and saluted elegantly, and then trotted to Xu Shen, and said expectantly: "Brother Xu, how am I playing?" ”

Xu Shen slowly braked the swing and nodded, "Very good." ”

Elena smiled even more happily and took Xu Shen to her study, where there were all kinds of books, piano scores, and some storybooks and dolls.

Elena took Xu Shen to visit everywhere.

Xu Shen chatted casually, and when he saw the smile on Elena's face, he felt a little emotional, the latter was 17 years old, but his heart was still pure and childlike.

"There will be a very slight sound here every night, Brother Xu, do you think there will be dirty things here?" Elena led Xu Shen to a wall clock in a living room.

Xu Shen looked around and saw a mouse hole in the corner of the wall, and couldn't help but wonder: "No, it should be a few little mice." ”

Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

The two talked a lot more, and Xu Shen also took the opportunity to ask some about her father through her.

Elena had no scheming, and under Xu Shen's side knock and ask, she basically made all moves.

Her mother died in childbirth when she was in her second child, and she originally had a younger brother, and his father was a small leader of the Tax Bureau.

She also has a grandmother, which I heard is rare in the inner city.

In a few words, Xu Shen has already mastered the situation of their family.

Xu Shen saw that the time was about the same, and followed Elena downstairs.

Liu Jichuan saw that the two were obviously much more familiar than before, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It seems that you guys have a good conversation." ”

Elena's cheeks flushed slightly and she came to her father's side.

His father smiled and looked at Xu Shen.

Originally, he was going to entertain and stay for dinner at noon, but Liu Jichuan refused and took Xu Shen back to the car.

"Xiao Xu, it seems that you are quite popular with girls." Liu Jichuan joked after getting in the car.

Xu Shen saw that his eyes were strange, and said, "Liu Ju shouldn't have brought me here on purpose, right?" ”

Liu Jichuan smiled and said: "How can you call it deliberate, in fact, it can be regarded as it, you are not young anymore, even if you want to have fun, you must always have a family." ”

Xu Shen was dumbfounded, no wonder he looked at Elena's father's eyes strangely, it turned out that this was a conspiracy blind date?

"I'm still young......," Xu Shen said.

"Generally, at the age of 18, you should get married." Liu Jichuan glanced at Xu Shen, "You are not young anymore." ”

Xu Shen was dumbfounded.

Li Meina covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: "Elena is a good girl, you really like it, don't let people down, it's okay for you to find a woman outside, but don't let people know." ”

Xu Shen was a little speechless, you are also a woman, why don't you talk to your own kind.

On the way back, I passed through an alley, and there was a shouting and scolding from inside.

Several people looked at it, and it was two thugs who were bullying a fog girl.

Liu Jichuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he waved his hand for Li Meina to deal with it.

The matter was quickly resolved, and the two gangsters who had opened their eyes were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they were driven away by Li Meina.

Liu Jichuan shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything, obviously this kind of thing has long been strange.

Back in the bureau, Liu Jichuan had nothing else to do, so Xu Shen said goodbye to him.

On the way back to his residence, Xu Shen thought of something and drove to a grocery store.

When he returned to his residence again, Xu Shen took out the swing, injected the rope into the ruin force, embedded it in the wall of the roof, and then absorbed the ruin power, and soon, a swing was fixed in the room.
