Chapter 207: Transformation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Fog calendar 2050, spring.
The Black Light Zone, in a wealthy gathering estate.
Celebrities gather to have dinner in the manor, and the dinner party is just foreplay, and the purpose of the rich and wealthy here is to participate in the following auction, the township land auction.
Some towns and villages were invaded by the ruins, and the ruins were not dealt with in time, resulting in heavy damage to the towns and villages, heavy casualties, and on the verge of abandonment, which also led to a large number of land owners and abandonment, so they fell here and became new auction items.
In the center of the gathering, many celebrities surrounded Liu Jichuan and greeted him, toasting the director of the Market Bureau.
"Thanks to Director Liu, our Xipu community was invaded by the ruins before, but fortunately, Director Liu sent someone to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"It's our blessing to have the Liu Bureau in charge of our Black Light District."
"Liuju, I heard that you like Xilan Town, but unfortunately there was an accident not long ago, and now it has been abandoned, it just so happens that Xilan Town is in today's auction, I will take it and give it to Liuju when I go back, a little careful."
"Liuju ......"
In the face of everyone's enthusiastic greetings, Liu Jichuan responded one by one while talking and laughing, taking care of it in place, and politely refused to the rich man who wanted to give him a small gift.
He looked up to drink while his eyes looked to the west from time to time.
Unlike the meeting center next to him, where no one was paying attention, there were two figures standing there.
"Elena."
Xu Shen looked at the girl in front of him, and saw her pure eyes full of youth and enthusiasm, Xu Shen felt a little dazzling, as if the lake-like eyes could reflect what he didn't want to see.
Such a gaze made Xu Shen think of Nanning.
But the difference with Nan Ning's eyes is that in addition to innocence, Nan Ning's eyes are more resolute, persistent and faithful, Nan Ning's eyes are not spotless, but they are covered by persistent eyes.
And Elena in front of her is a real rich adopted daughter, beautiful and simple.
"Listen to Dad, you'll be here today." Elena's cheeks were slightly red, and her little hands were behind the back of the turquoise dress, which she had carefully selected when she went out today, and was hand-sewn by a well-known tailor in the Black Light District.
"I deliberately ...... I prepared a small gift for Brother Xu. The girl was a little embarrassed, and blushed a little, and slowly took out the small gift behind her carefully and handed it to Xu Shen.
She didn't dare to look at Xu Shen in her eyes, but Xu Shen could see the hope and nervousness on her face.
Xu Shen was slightly silent.
"Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Maeve's voice drifted to the side, and an interested expression appeared on her little face.
Xu Shen's eyes regained focus, took the small gift box, opened it, and saw that there were two small things inside, one was a bottle of delicately packaged small bottle of perfume, and the other was actually a button.
Xu Shen was a little surprised, perfume is a common social gift for celebrities, he can understand, but the buttons are ...... It doesn't seem to be pure gold, and it's somewhat familiar.
Elena peeked at Xu Shen opening the gift from the corner of her eye, and when she saw Xu Shen's surprised expression, her eyes were a little more joyful, and she felt as if she had given Xu Shen a surprise.
"This button...... It slipped off your sleeve the last time you helped me block those things. Elena's voice was like a mosquito, and the more she spoke, the softer she became, and her cheeks became redder and redder.
】
She picked up the button that had slipped down, so she carefully treasured it and returned it to Xu Shen again.
Feeling the girl's intentions, Xu Shen became more and more silent, and only after a while did he whisper: "Thank you." ”
"Do you like this perfume?" Elena seemed to be a little less nervous when she heard Xu Shen's thanks, and looked up and asked curiously.
Xu Shen glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and said: "We ruins can't use perfume, otherwise we will leave a special smell, be tracked by the ruins, and our position will also be exposed." ”
Elena was stunned, her little face couldn't hide the loss, and she was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't use it, I thought it was ......"
"But I love it." Xu Shen looked at the girl's self-blame and said with a smile.
Elena was stunned and looked up at Xu Shen in surprise.
"I'll put it away, although it can't be used, but the bottle is delicate and I like delicate things." Xu Shen said.
Is it because I like the bottle and not because of the perfume? Elena was stunned, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, sure enough, she was a very strange and interesting person.
And this is also the main reason why Xu Shen attracted her.
"If you like it."
"Well, thank you."
Xu Shen put away the perfume and buttons, then fell silent, the smile on his face was slightly retracted, and after a few seconds, he sorted out his words and said, "Elena, this may be the last time we will meet." ”
"Huh?" Elena was stunned, her face turned slightly pale, and she looked at Xu Shen nervously: "You are going to perform a very dangerous mission?" ”
Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "I know your intentions, but I don't think I can delay you, you also know that people like us will be in danger at any time and die at any time, you should find a normal person." ”
Elena froze, her face turned bloodless, and her body seemed to tremble and shake a little.
Such straightforward words were like sharp arrows piercing her heart.
She was stunned for a moment before she slowly reacted, and smiled reluctantly: "Brother Xu, did you misunderstand, I actually ...... I didn't mean that. ”
"It's good if you don't have it." Xu Shen showed a relieved look and said, "I misunderstood, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing Xu Shen behaving like this, Elena felt stabbed again, bit her lip and said, "Even if it's just an ordinary friend, isn't it?" ”
Xu Shen shook his head and said, "It will hurt you, I have many enemies." ”
Elena said puzzledly: "Brother Xu treats people modestly, why is there an enemy?" Didn't you kill monsters? ”
"Sometimes it's not that I offend that I have enemies, but when I'm in such a position, I naturally have enemies." Xu Shen sighed.
Elena asked, "Is it someone who is jealous of you?" ”
"It's not necessarily jealousy, it's also possible that I think I'm getting in the way of others." Xu Shen said.
Elena seemed to understand whether she understood or not, she clenched her fingers, seemed to pluck up courage, and said, "I'm not afraid, if someone hurts you, I'll go to Uncle Liu to make decisions for you." ”
Xu Shen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Elena, I hope this is the last time we will meet, and you will be safe." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Elena was stunned, her face was bloodless for a moment, and became pale, she watched Xu Shen walk into the group, her figure was blocked, she bit her lip slightly, turned around, and tears burst from her eyes, and the big tears continued to roll down.
She sobbed uncontrollably over her shoulders, but she crossed her hands to suppress them, just holding back the sobs, causing her neck to arch slightly.
"He didn't agree?"
Beside him, a gentle voice came.
Elena's body trembled, and the tears immediately stopped, and when she saw her father standing beside her, the tears that had just collapsed gushed out again and fell into her father's arms.
"It's okay if you don't agree, you are indeed not from the same world, stay by his side...... It's too dangerous......" The father stroked his daughter's hair and whispered comfort, his eyes looking at the auditorium, but his gaze was focused on the brightest spot.
……
……
"Unaccompanied, unaccompanied."
In the center of the gathering, Liu Jichuan's eyes flashed, and when he saw the figure leaving the crowd directly, his eyes looked at another place, and the smile in his eyes was slightly darkened.
He got rid of the rich around him and let Li Meina continue to accompany him, while he casually put the wine glass on a waiter's tray passing by, and then tidied up his clothes.
He headed in the direction of the restroom.
It happened that other wealthy people also came to the bathroom, and when they saw Liu Jichuan, they immediately smiled and said: "Liu Ju, the matter I talked to you about last time, I will ask you, and I will visit you in person tomorrow." ”
Liu Jichuan waved his hand, seemingly a little drunk: "Tonight is a party, don't talk about business, don't talk about it." ”
Haofu understood, so he could only laugh and say: "Okay, don't talk about business, Liu Ju has drunk a lot tonight, these guys are too impotent." ”
Liu Jichuan smiled, unbuttoned his crotch, and said, "Let's release it and solve it!" ”
"Huh." The rich man glanced at Liu Jichuan and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, Liu Bureau." ”
Liu Jichuan smiled, and as the water release ended, the drunkenness on his face seemed to dissipate a lot, his eyes became much clearer, and he returned to the party with Haofu.
At the same time, a dark shadow flew through the walls of the bathroom, speeding away, walking through the manor like a deft wild cat in the night.
She was slender, hiding in the shadows, waiting quietly by a car.
As time passed, the party moved on to the auction stage.
At this time, many wealthy family members were arranged to return first.
Many celebrities came out one after another and got into the car, and among them, a father and daughter also walked out of it.
"Dad, aren't you going to accompany Uncle Liu to the following party?" Elena walked a few steps and looked up to ask, her eyes still a little red and swollen, but she didn't cry anymore.
"Your dad has no money, it's useless to watch it, let's go back and rest early." Father smiled.
Elena guessed that her father wanted to accompany her, and her heart became even more sour, so she nodded silently and followed her father into the car.
The vehicle started and drove in the direction of the home.
Her father drove, and Elena sat in the back seat, her head resting on the window on the side, looking at the neon lights and the receding streetscape, tears slowly welling up again.
And on the glass against which her forehead rested, it reflected that in the seat next to her, there was a graceful figure, sitting lazily beside her, looking at her with interest.
It's just that at the moment, the mood is immersed in sadness, and Elena doesn't see it.
The father in the front row cares about his daughter, and the rearview mirror only looks in the direction of his daughter, which is blocked by the seat in the front row, and only half of his daughter's body can be seen.
The father sighed secretly and didn't say anything, knowing that this kind of thing could only make his daughter walk out of her grief by herself.
The vehicle drove all the way to their manor.
The father and daughter got out of the car and walked towards the manor.
