Chapter 157: Marionette

Maybe it's really that after I was promoted to the third stage of the Insight, the side effects of paranoia increased?

When these arrangements were made, Xiao Huan himself didn't even have a clear purpose.

He also couldn't figure it out:

If the city is fake, then all the behavior of the aborigines, even if they have some autonomy, is generally moving in a certain direction, so what kind of emotional impact does the city want to bring to itself by giving such a mysterious behavioral logic to its "father"? Or, what kind of purpose do you need to use him to help you?

But let's find it first!

And before he finished all this and hung up the phone, Yang Jia just drove silently.

It wasn't until the phone hung up that he said casually: "Who is it?" ”

"Our boss."

Xiao Huan hurriedly explained: "The boss of the Pink Girls Gang, you also know, I am also a person on the road now. ”

"I've heard of it."

Yang Jia smiled and said, "Sound like the relationship is still very familiar?" ”

"Feeling weird?"

Xiao Huan thought silently, and said with a smile: "I'm not that familiar, it's her......"

"You don't have to explain it to me."

Yang Jia smiled and said softly, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Huan was helpless, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Go to the hospital, I haven't seen my mother today." ”

Yang Jia, who was already familiar with Xiao Huan, was a stranger, but also used to maintaining a close relationship with his family, didn't say anything, just smiled and turned the car around. Among the Ten Commandments of Strangers left by the elder before, there is also one that allows strangers to learn to enjoy the truth in this false city, and Yang Jia has always done this, but Xiao Huan is closer.

However, this time she did not follow Xiao Huan upstairs, but just left him at the door of the hospital.

"In the past few days, a lot has happened."

She said softly, "But no matter what, Black Gate City is no longer in the same scattered state as before, and we have also learned some things about the elder, so no matter what happens, we just need to remember that we still have our kind in this city." ”

"It's like the old president's plan, if you want to build a big ship that takes everyone away, you need everyone's efforts, doesn't it?"

"Rest well, remember to find me if you have something."

“……”

She said these words with a smile on her face.

Xiao Huan could feel that she meant something, but she was still extremely honest in her heart.

Thinking of the things she had been concerned about before, Xiao Huan only paused slightly, and then smiled:

"I will."

“……”

Seeing Yang Jia's car go away, he turned around and walked into the hospital.

It was already past the time to visit the patient, but Xiao Huan didn't care too much, just slowly walked to the hospital on the way, the eyes of the three seeers overlapped slightly, and the surrounding scenes, security guards, doctors, and nurses were all in his mind, he gently pushed open the door of the inpatient area, and walked in before the security guard who was hiding on the side and smoking turned back, and then came all the way to the ward.

"Why are you here so late?"

Mom hadn't slept yet, and was chatting happily with the little nurse.

As soon as Xiao Huan came in, the little nurse was slightly surprised, and then suddenly shook her head and left angrily.

“……”

Xiao Huan's expression was strange all of a sudden, obviously he hadn't done anything, why did he feel a little weak?

"I've just finished some work and I'm coming to see you."

Xiao Huan sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple, and began to peel it slowly, he was now the most chaotic time in his heart, so he subconsciously came to the hospital to see his mother, but he didn't know what to say, as if he could just sit like this.

When his mother saw him like this, she couldn't help but say, "You've been very busy at work lately?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Huan nodded and said, "I just got promoted, but the situation is chaotic and I'm a little overwhelmed." ”

"You've been promoted?"

When my mother heard this, she was overjoyed, and touched Xiao Huan's head distressedly, and said: "I know that doing business is no worse than your father, no, it should be said that you are much better than him, don't look at other people's five or six, it was a small fight back then, if it wasn't for the little things that your grandfather left back then, how could there be such a beautiful industry later......

Xiao Huan's movements of peeling apples slowed down, and he was slightly curious: "Wasn't Dad quite successful in business back then?" ”

"Success?"

Mom pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "What is the success?" ”

"You forgot that when you were in high school, you fooled around with real estate and what happened to you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that somehow I got on the line with a big company like the Black Forest, I turned over early......

“……”

"The Black Forest?"

Xiao Huan's hand shaving the apple paused slightly, and then continued, but the corners of his mouth pursed slightly.

It turned out that my father had already crossed paths with people from the Black Forest when he was in high school!

Slowly peeled the apple, during which he talked to his mother about some more things, intentionally or unintentionally, and then Xiao Huan left the hospital.

When he returned to the dark alley where his home was located, he was still thinking about what he had experienced that day.

In his heart, there was a faint feeling of gratitude to Yang Jia for not being too eager because of the things in the elder's safe or the so-called Noah's plan, and he had been forcing himself, because although he was also trying to digest these suppressed emotions along the way, there was really an indescribable irritability in his heart, and there was a feeling that his every move was designed by others and at the mercy of others.

He didn't like the feeling of being treated like a marionette.

Even, very disgusted.

Because I am accustomed to seeing these aborigines who are at the mercy of people from the inside out, this disgust is even stronger.

Even on an instinctive level, he began to develop a kind of anxiety.

It's just that he tried his best to digest these emotions, and he persuaded himself not to be anxious or nervous.

The more this is the case, the more you have to be calm and see more clearly.

Anyway......

…… While thinking, his steps became slower and slower, and when the figure was about to completely disappear into the dark shadow in the alley, he suddenly stood still, and then with a blank face, he pulled out the silver pistol behind him, aimed it at the night sky, and pulled the trigger fiercely.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

He shot one after another, venting fiercely.

Even the corners of his mouth had been slightly clenched, making his expression vaguely look cruel.

"No matter how honest I am, I can't be at your mercy like this......"

"After enduring the pain and torture of those four years, I returned to the outside world, but I didn't want you to bully ......"

“……”

“……”

also made up his mind in Xiao Huan, and when he returned home, Yang Jia, who was driving in the night, also received a phone call.

"The new president of Black Gate City has appeared, so that forbidden item should also be found, right?"

It was a man's voice on the phone, appearing calm, with an unquestionable majesty: "It's already later than we expected, I hope you can come back with that thing as soon as possible, Dante needs to use it for new research." ”

"I'm supposed to be on leave now?"

Yang Jia listened, frowned slightly, and then said softly: "In addition, I think there may be some accidents in the matter, we did elect a new Lord of Black Gate City, and we did see the legacy of the old president, but the safe is empty, maybe the old president did find that thing, but obviously, contrary to our guess, he did not put it in the safe." ”

"How is that possible?"

The voice on the phone was a little surprised, and then asked in a deep voice, "You saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Yang Jia was silent for a long time and said, "No." ”

"I didn't become the president, and the first person to see the old president's legacy won't be me."

“……”

"Would you believe such a clumsy lie?"

The voice on the phone immediately became a little heavier, and said coldly: "Tell those people, don't be too greedy, that kind of thing is not something they can keep, just like the previous Black Gate City, if you find such a thing, it will cause trouble......

Yang Jia frowned: "I said, I didn't come back for this thing." ”

"What you think is your business."

The voice on the phone was unceremoniously: "But you should understand the danger of this thing being left outside." ”

"And we know how important it is to us!"

“……”

“……”

Similarly, outside the city, in the midst of the twisted flesh and the dark red mist that could not be dissolved, the huge skeleton ship, like a silent ghost, slowly passed between the wriggling tentacles, and there was a deathly silence everywhere, only when the skeleton ship sailed by, there was a sudden burst of music and excited laughter from time to time.

"The Silver Bullet family has been wiped out?"

"So what's going on in Blackgate now? A new president has appeared? ”

“……”

On the deck, a group of people huddled together to play poker, and their faces were covered with notes, and in the face of everyone's inquiry, a guy in white clothes slammed one of the four in his hand to the small table, and said, "Then who knows?" ”

"The eyeliner has been pulled out, ask the ghost?"

“……”

"......"

Someone next to him shouted: "We are a world-famous hell organization, shouldn't we do things one after another, they pulled out a gang, but in fact there is a gang?" You don't really just keep the Silver Bullet family for eyeliner, do you? ”

"As soon as the silver bullet dies, its eyes are black?"

“……”

"Fuck ......"

The white clothes threw out a pair of fours again, and said with a smile: "We are hellish organizations to do things, and we are not old yin coin style......

"If you want to know what's going on there, why don't you just go over and have a look?"

"Haha, another four, no ......"
