Chapter 163: The Price of Losing the Landlord (4,500 words)
“?”
Yang Jia and the other strangers all looked at Xiao Huan in shock at this time, and a question mark faintly appeared on their heads.
It's just that the expressions are similar, but the content of the shock of the two sides is clearly different, in the eyes of the red-eyed Ling Ping, the big snake sisters and others, Xiao Huan just had a calm smile on his face at this time, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and he couldn't help but have countless reveries in his heart, could it be that this young president really has some great plans and is ready for confrontation?
Or is it true that there is some kind of special taboo that is powerful in the legacy left by the old president?
There were countless questions in my heart, and I couldn't wait to pinch Xiao Huan's neck and ask him to quickly tell him the method he thought of and the source of confidence, but looking at Xiao Huan's handsome and cold face, he still couldn't muster the courage to do so, so he just watched blankly.
And Yang Jia also glanced at Xiao Huan deeply, and then nodded slowly, without speaking.
Even if they were worried in their hearts, this time the meeting could only come here temporarily, under Yang Jia's arrangement, everyone temporarily returned to their own territory, prepared for the Hell Organization and other tricks, and waited for the new president to discuss a new plan, in the office on the third floor of the bar, only Xiao Huan, Yang Jia, and the waiter who reflected Mr. Ye's spiritual power were soon left.
Even Squishy and Little Four could only leave the office temporarily at this time and wait around.
Only at this time did Xiao Huan breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Jia, and said, "Is there an accident?" ”
Yang Jia nodded slowly, looked at Xiao Huan's eyes, and didn't know if there was a trace of gratitude, she intuitively felt that Xiao Huan had guessed something just now, and just deliberately said something like that, to relieve herself and buy time.
"Actually, I had already contacted Dante's organization a few days ago."
She looked at Xiao Huan and said, "On the day you became the new president and saw the legacy of the old president." ”
"Or rather, I was contacted by Dante's organization."
"Returning to Black Gate City, it was my own behavior, after I heard the news of the Elder's death, at the first moment I could spare time, I specially took leave to return to Black Gate City, so, I didn't come back from the mission, of course, I also know how important the thing the Old Elder found - the Hidden Compass, so it's not that I don't have the idea of bringing the Compass back to Dante's organization."
"But, as we all know, there were some surprises with the plan."
“……”
Xiao Huan closed his mouth and didn't speak, but just glanced at Mr. Ye with his eyes.
The accident was caused by this old boy.
However, at this time, Mr. Ye, who participated in this rally with the help of the waiter's body, had no expression on his face at all.
"Before the advent of the True Lord's Contract, the Dante Organization never asked me about anything I was doing in Blackgate."
Yang Jia continued: "This is very reasonable, after all, it is my private matter, but just after you became the new president and entered the small building left by the old president, the Dante organization found me and asked me about having that compass, and I have already told the truth, but the answer they gave me ...... It was a bit beyond my expectations, and it didn't fit Dante's philosophy. ”
Xiao Huan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said, "What do you say?" ”
Yang Jia paused for a moment before he said in a low voice: "They asked me to go back with the Hidden Compass, or the person who has the first control of the Hidden Compass, otherwise, they will refuse me to return to the team, and they will also refuse to help Black Gate City under the threat of the Hell Organization." ”
"Oh?"
Xiao Huan listened, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "So direct? ”
"It's not an unofficial result."
Yang Jia said: "It's just the reply we got when we communicated in private, besides, I don't know if this is the order of the hot-tempered captain himself, or the meaning of the mentor...... I tried to contact my mentor, but unfortunately I failed, the connection between cities is not so convenient, and besides, the mentor often goes into the depths of the misty sea to do some research. ”
"If you can't get in touch, maybe it's already a problem......"
Xiao Huan listened, thinking silently in his heart.
However, he didn't say these words directly, believing that Yang Jia understood it in his heart.
Just smiled and said, "In that case, then it's time for us to officially call for help......
“…… Just use the reason I just said! ”
"You can tell them that I am a very timid person, and I will never put my life in order to protect something like the old president...... Don't be polite, the more spineless I say, the better, and you don't have to save face for me......"
“……”
Yang Jia glanced at him deeply, and he didn't know what he thought, so he didn't have a good breath:
"I will."
"But, have you ever thought about ......?"
“……”
She also seemed to be slightly moved, as if she wanted to ask Xiao Huan a certain question, but because of her previous promise, it was not easy to ask.
"No, you can't."
But at this moment, the waiter who had been standing silently beside him, as if he had fallen asleep, suddenly spoke in a low voice, making a voice similar to that of a machine: "The Hidden Compass can only stay in Black Gate City, and only Black Gate City can carry out the Old President's Noah's Ark plan, so I don't recommend handing over the Hidden Compass to Dante's organization...... This is also what the elder himself meant. ”
As he spoke, those dull eyes looked at Yang Jia, and seemed to hide some kind of emotion:
"Are you willing to ruin the countless efforts of the Elder for the sake of Dante's orders?"
“……”
“……”
At this moment, the pupils of Yang Jia and Xiao Huan both shrank slightly.
Xiao Huan was suddenly sure in his heart: "Mr. Ye really understands some things......
Noah's Ark's plan, and the general idea, he and Yang Jia both learned after entering the small building and seeing Uncle Chen, but Mr. Ye said it directly, and directly pointed out that the hidden compass is the most important part of Noah's Ark plan, which can only show that he is clear about what the old president left behind, maybe he still participated in this plan.
It's no wonder that after leaving Xiaolou, he never asked himself about the secret compass.
And Yang Jia listened to Mr. Ye's words, but his expression was slightly out of control, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed.
After a moment, he said, "I respect the elder." ”
"I also understand that now I have completely become an outsider to Black Gate City."
“……”
She doesn't speak seriously, but her disappointment and dissatisfaction have been vividly expressed.
And the waiter who was occupied by Mr. Ye's spirit, after being slightly silent, slowly looked up at Yang Jia:
"I'm sorry."
"The person the elder admired the most during his lifetime was you, but unfortunately, you weren't here at that time."
“……”
Listening to his apology, or rather, comfort, Yang Jia was not touched, and her face did not improve.
And Xiao Huan turned his head to look at Yang Jia, and said with a smile: "I still only listen to you." ”
“?”
Yang Jia was suddenly slightly surprised, and her face instantly eased a lot.
"In any case, I will tell the truth to the new president and Miss Yang Jia about everything about the old president, of course, whether or not to tell Miss Yang Jia will be after getting the permission of the new president, but you and I both understand that the top priority in Black Gate City is to solve the threat of the Hell Organization first, and only by ensuring that those crazy people will not affect us anymore can Noah's plan have a chance to be implemented."
Mr. Ye did not show dissatisfaction with Xiao Huan's loyal behavior to Yang Jiabiao in front of him, and his mechanical voice was full of sincerity, and he said softly: "So now, I only hope that we can work together to solve the problem at hand first." ”
Regarding his proposal, Yang Jia, who was in a better mood, sighed lightly and said, "I will fulfill my promise." ”
"I'll do my part."
"Dante's reply, I'll tell you both afterwards."
“……”
By the time she had said this, she had already gotten up, and there was no point in talking about this question any longer.
And Xiao Huan got up to see him off, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Ye: "Which one is the compass next to me?" ”
The waiter was slightly confused and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to use the compass, and I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Xiao Huan smiled and said, "Then am I a victim?" ”
"It's not."
Mr. Ye replied firmly, "In our plan, you represent hope. ”
"This hat is buttoned up big enough......"
Xiao Huan came, but it was not good to ask again, so he could only helplessly watch him leave, sat back in the empty office, looked up, the dead man who had been made into a work of art, was standing quietly in the middle of the office, one palm in his trouser pocket, one palm gently raised in his direction, palm up, two roses in his eyes, delicate and abnormal.
"They're walking pretty fast, but who's going to deal with this corpse......"
Slowly rubbing his eyebrows, Xiao Huan also thought a little helplessly, and then his eyes gradually calmed down.
Hell Organization......
What is this guy who entered the city without anyone knowing, killed people, and posed, what is he thinking?
Thinking about this question slowly, his pupils lost focus slightly.
At the same time, three Eyes of the Seeker appeared beside him, and the three eyes began to slowly overlap.
In Xiao Huan's field of vision, this "artwork" suddenly appeared layer upon layer of phantom, like a rapidly overlapping and switching picture, he didn't know if it was an illusion, only saw this artwork, suddenly left the office quickly, returned to the previous busy traffic, the surrounding police officers pulled up the police cordon at the intersection, and then the police and onlookers also quickly retreated and disappeared.
He saw this artwork, which appeared in the middle of the night, and time continued to rewind, and he saw the figure that stood him at the intersection.
The spirit had already felt a strong pressure, but Xiao Huan instantly locked on to this figure and continued to track.
Then he saw that this figure shuttled through the Black Gate City, like a traveler, watching all this with excitement, and even taking pictures in some places, taking commemorative photos, eating snacks, and greeting pedestrians in a friendly manner, but the strange thing is that whenever he walked by, those pedestrians seemed to forget him, and his shadow disappeared far faster than ordinary people, and it was cleaner.
Xiao Huandu almost used all his strength to keep up with his shadow, following him through the city until ......
"Huh!"
Xiao Huan opened his eyes violently and looked at his feet.
The floor became transparent, and he saw that there was a person sitting in the bar on the first floor, near the edge.
A man with many notes on his face.
The eyes under the note were dark and shiny, and he was looking up at himself.
Faintly, the heart seemed to stop for a second, and the huge pressure hit like a mountain, almost crushing the entire bar.
But Xiao Huan was silent for a moment, but suddenly smiled, got up and went downstairs.
……
……
"Mr. Xiao, good evening."
When the waiters in the corridor saw Xiao Huan coming, they all stopped immediately and greeted politely.
Xiao Huan just nodded slightly, and then instructed:
"Give the Pink Girls a call, I have something in my room, and ask them to send someone professional to deal with it."
“……”
"Okay, Mr. Shaw."
The waiter hurriedly agreed: "I don't know what it is?" Let them know in advance. ”
Xiao Huan listened, smiled, and said, "A corpse." ”
Ignoring the waiter's round eyes at that moment, Xiao Huan thought to himself, this is an industry under the underworld, as an important backbone of the Pink Girls Gang, what is so amazing about a corpse in the room, this waiter behaves so frightened, it can only be said that his professionalism is still a little worse, I don't know if I want to find a professional person to train them.
And when he thought so, when he came to the first floor, the record player lady was working hard.
And the violent, paranoid, twisted hearts in this bar...... To put it simply, the neurotics are venting to their heart's content in the crazy and weird melody, and the man with the note on his face is also hugging the girl next to him, constantly shrugging his shoulders.
"Hello ......"
Xiao Huan walked directly to him, sat down, and greeted him politely.
The man with the note on his face let go of the hand holding the girl and said, "There is someone here......
"We're different."
Xiao Huan smiled and said to him: "You have to give me money for consumption here, and I don't have to give money for consumption here." ”
“……”
The man with the note on his face seemed a little helpless, sighed heavily, and said: "I really didn't expect you to find me so soon, in fact, you shouldn't have found me at all, I used a very powerful special item that can hide all my spirit and temperament, even the city should not be able to discover my existence, I didn't expect you to find me so quickly......"
"It's not easy."
Xiao Huan secretly thought in his heart that he had locked on the corpse by going back in time, and tracked him all the way.
In fact, it's simply the dumbest way to do it.
I almost exceeded my limit, and my nose bleeded like a blood collapse.
If it weren't for this method, he really didn't know what else would have been able to find him.
Of course, it's good to know these things yourself, but you can't tell anyone else.
So he just had a faint smile on his face, looked up at this person, and suddenly said, "Why is there all the notes on his face?" ”
The man suddenly spread his hands helplessly: "The landlord lost the fight......"
Xiao Huan smiled: "Then you lost a lot......"
"Fighting the landlord, there are always losses and wins......"
The man's words immediately carried some justification, and said, "I have won the ...... before."
"Not necessarily."
Xiao Huan smiled: "If it were me fighting the landlord with someone, it would be difficult for me to think of how I would lose." ”
"So dragged?"
The person with the note on his face glanced at Xiao Huan in surprise and said, "I will have a chance to fight two in the future." ”
Xiao Huan smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”
When he first saw this person, he was really surprised, but in less than half a second, he thought that when this man appeared here, he must have come for himself, and just now Yang Jia and Mr. Ye had just left here, but no one found him, which means that this person's strength may be unimaginably strong......
…… Or perhaps, it just has a strange hidden ability.
But in any case, when I saw him, I knew that it was too late for me to run away.
In such a short period of time, it cannot be ruled out that the other party has the ability to rush directly to the third floor and fight with him head-on.
So, he simply relaxed and came over to talk to him.
But before that, I didn't expect that the first impression of this exchange was not very bad, and I made an appointment for a game.
