Walking through the bar where countless customers gathered, it felt like walking through the ghost gate where the demons danced, the elevator going up was like sinking into the reincarnation of the netherworld, and after exiting the elevator, the long corridor leading to the office felt like he was walking through the dead and silent Huangquan Road, and finally, when he pushed open the office door, the man in the suit felt that he was facing the demon king in hell.

The soft light in the office hit his face, but the man in the suit only felt cold.

It was as if there was a cold spiritual force field like scraping bones, drowning itself in an instant, depriving it of all the temperature of being a living person.

He reluctantly raised his head, and saw Xiao Huan sitting on the sofa in the office, and Yang Jia beside him.

Both of them have extremely handsome appearances, holding wine glasses in their hands, their expressions are indifferent, their eyes are sharp, as if they can see through all the secrets at a glance, and the man in the suit is in a trance at the moment when he meets their eyes, as if he sees the evil god at the end of the strange and the witch who has always been by his side in the legend, and feels that endless visions and whispers appear in front of him.

It was a kind of lofty gaze, looking down on a low-level life form like himself.

He tried his best to keep his mind, but he felt a little unsure, and his will and disguise were gone.

"It's really you ......"

When his brain became blank, Xiao Huan, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly smiled and said:

"Long time no see!"

“……”

"Does he remember me?"

The man in the suit was suddenly taken aback, and his heart fell into boundless fear.

Remembering himself, does it mean that he deliberately wants to pollute himself?

Earlier, because of an ambiguous joke from his female boss, the man in the suit was worried that he couldn't sleep for a few months, and tested himself two or three times a day, deeply afraid that one day, the company would really send him over and let this guy pollute.

Unexpectedly, I survived that time, and when I arrived under the new boss, I was sent to deliver the letter as soon as possible.

It's not a good thing that the person sending the letter remembers himself......

Of course, Xiao Huan remembered this man in a suit, when his mother was so angry that he had a heart attack, when he saw his father in the hospital, the intimidated father called this man over for the first time, and he was also the first person to bring the aboriginal perspective to himself, so he was still very impressed with him, and now when he sees it again, he has to have a little polite smile on his face......

Of course, whether this smile scares the other party or not, I don't care.

I'm just being polite, it's your own problem when you're scared.

"Xiao ...... Mr. Xiao ......"

The man in the suit tried his best to keep his voice steady, and said in a low voice, "I'm here to deliver the invitation." ”

"On behalf of Mr. Shepherd, I invite you to an evening."

“……”

Xiao Huan nodded, not in a hurry to take it, but looked at him, trying to substitute the perspective of the aborigines, and said with a smile:

"Are you from the Black Forest, or from the Black Goat Club?"

“……”

If you look at it from a stranger's point of view, you basically don't have this kind of thinking.

In their view, the aborigines are the aborigines, they are a large category, puppets controlled by the city.

In that case, what is the point of dividing this puppet into which type it belongs to?

But Xiao Huan is different, he has begun to try to accept the aboriginal side, so, according to the analysis of the aborigines, he thought that the Black Forest Biological Laboratory is different from the Black Goat Club, according to the information obtained from the rabbit boss, the Black Forest Biological Laboratory is the origin of everything, which is equivalent to the official, and the Black Goat Club is a civilian organization.

Ask yourself more clearly, appear polite, and show that you are not ignorant of them.

"I ......"

The man in the suit didn't expect Xiao Huan to ask this, and his throat was faintly tight.

After a pause, he replied hoarsely: "I was originally an investigator in the Black Forest. ”

"But now, I've been transferred to work under Mr. Shepherd."

“……”

"Oh?"

Xiao Hao smiled: "This shows that the Black Forest and the Black Goat Club have merged?" ”

"Oh my God, he guessed, how he seems to know everything, as if he could see my mind......"

The man in the suit trembled a little, and cold sweat fell.

With a casual word, you can be seen so many secrets by the other party?

Xiao Huan could feel his nervousness from the man in the suit, but he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, in fact, who couldn't hear it, the man in the suit was transferred to the shepherd's hands, which means that it was an order from the upper echelons of the Black Forest.

The fact that the Black Forest is going to be transferred to the shepherds naturally means that they are now one.

At the very least, it's an alliance.

This is a very trivial matter, but whenever people face a person in a high position, or someone they particularly care about, they often produce a state of extreme unconfidence, a little little thing, the brain makes up a lot, and they dare not guess the thoughts of the person in the high position, so they show their cowardly side more and more, and see the person in the high position as the unfathomable side.

This is the instinct of human nature to reduce intelligence, not just men in suits.

Xiao Huan was very relaxed, he didn't ask these questions for any special purpose, just casually asked:

"By the way, what's your name?"

“……”

The man in the suit was already extremely nervous, and when he heard this, his whole person almost collapsed.

He asked his name, did he want to pollute himself?

Could it be that these monsters, when polluting others, must know their names?

He instinctively resisted, definitely not wanting to answer the question.

It's like all the high-level executives are desperately trying to hide their identity information.

But he didn't dare not answer, and he didn't even dare to answer a lie, because he knew that the one in front of him was the craziest monster in Black Gate City, he was powerful, mysterious, and neurotic, and when he first saw him, he was obviously just a harmless high school student, but he killed an innocent civilian without even blinking his eyes, without the slightest mercy and fear of normal people.

Later, he had heard the news that his father had been killed by his own hands......

Would such a person mind killing himself?

Maybe if you say your name, you will be polluted by him, but if you don't say it, what if he kills himself casually?

Maybe he had a way of discerning whether he was lying?

With this thought in mind, he went through the torment of extreme fear in his heart, and finally thought of an answer.

That's not his name, it's his code name.

Or is he only working as a D-class investigator, and he was given a mocking code name when cannon fodder was sent to his death.

Originally, he never wanted to hear this code name again, but now he is willing to say it:

"Wild dogs."

He replied in a low voice, "My code name is Wild Dog, you can call me that." ”

"Wild dogs?"

Xiao Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This name is very interesting......

He could actually feel the nervousness of the man in the suit, and he wanted to have a friendly conversation, but he was also worried that this guy would be scared if he talked a few more words, after all, this was his own office, and he was about to meet the shepherd, so he was not in a hurry to ask anything from the messenger, so he just smiled, took the invitation, and said, "I will go." ”

“…… Be! ”

The man in the suit, or Mr. Wild Dog, had a trembling voice, lowered his head, and whispered in response.

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Huan glanced at the invitation, then at him, and seeing that he didn't move, he said curiously: "Stay for dinner?" ”

“…… Well? ”

Mr. Wild Dog was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he could go.

Hurriedly shook his head, then quickly left.

When I walked out of the room, my feet were still trying to maintain a rhythm, but by the time I entered the elevator, my legs were already weak.

When I went down to the first floor, I had already rushed out of the bar.

……

……

"The natives are so afraid of us?"

Xiao Huan didn't turn his head to look at Yang Jia until Mr. Wild Dog came out of the bar, and waved the invitation in his hand.

"In their eyes, we are a bunch of crazy people living in fantasy, killing people or polluting them at every turn."

Yang Jia said: "How can you not be afraid? What does this invitation say? ”

"It's really an invitation to a party."

Xiao Huan smiled and handed her the invitation, which had already been read.

It is a strictly worded and respectful invitation to the party, and the signature is the Black Goat Club, which looks quite high-end.

Yang Jia was very happy with Xiao Huan's attitude of believing in herself, and after glancing at the invitation, she also nodded slightly, and her expression seemed to be a little surprised: "You went to find the heart of the unquenchable, originally to investigate some secrets of Black Gate City, but I didn't expect that before the investigation began, the core people of these secrets took the initiative to send them to the door, these things, why do you feel so strange?" ”

Xiao Huan knew why she said that.

In the eyes of Yang Jia and other strangers, the threat of shepherds is greater than that of the Black Forest biological laboratory.

Once, Yang Jia must have thought that the shepherd was the most aberrant creature in the city, and that he had jumped out of the realm of ordinary aborigines, wielding power strong enough to fight against the branders, and not being constrained by the will of the city, and bent on dealing with strangers.

In any case, the shepherd is indeed at the heart of all secrets, at least a significant part of it.

He nodded, "You'll know when you see it." ”

"Be careful."

Yang Jia looked at Xiao Huan and said, "First, you have completed the fourth stage of strengthening, but Black Gate City has not shown its rejection of you, or even welcomes you, and second, the core people of this city will actually take the initiative to invite you, which is incomprehensible." ”

"I think there must be some deeper reason."

“……”

Xiao Huan heard some of the meaning of her words, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't go?" ”

"Yes."

Yang Jia said: "To meet the shepherd, I think it's best for you to go by yourself." ”

"There are some secrets I can't hear, after all, I'm the brander."

"But you don't have to worry, I'll have time free tomorrow, and if there's a need, I'll rush over to help you."

“……”

"Why do you feel that Yang Jia is a little weird?"

Xiao Huan glanced at Yang Jia, thought silently, and nodded slightly.

The two chatted a few more words, and when they saw that it was late, they also separated, Xiao Huan took a look, and saw that Lin Bo and several of his team members were very happy with fake wine, and it seemed that they were going to sleep in the bar tonight, anyway, there was Xiaosi with them, and they didn't have to worry about anything wrong, so they also went straight out of the bar, took a taxi and walked towards their home, thinking about these things on the way.

The heart is not extinguished, and the people of the Black Goat Club also take the initiative to contact him......

…… Is it time to solve all the mysteries?

However, is all this the effect of not extinguishing the heart, or is it the time for the shepherds to touch themselves?

The same thing, in the eyes of the aborigines and the foreigners, it is very likely that there will be two different results, the strangers will think that they have really obtained a heart that can influence the will of the city, and in the eyes of the aborigines, it is only time to connect.

Even if I am now, I can't give a precise explanation.

Well, I'll probably have to wait and see.

And the key point is, what ability can this unquenchable heart bring to itself?

Thinking of these, Xiao Huan turned his head from the taxi and glanced at this still prosperous and extravagant city, only to feel that every street, every building, and every neon in this city seemed to be much closer to him, and the sense of familiarity and closeness when he had just returned to the city did not disappear, as if it was getting stronger and stronger, like returning home.

This can't be the use of not quenching the heart, right?

Bringing yourself closer to the city?

With these questions in mind, he returned to the alley in front of his house and walked slowly into it, with a down-to-earth and gentle feeling.

The three dogs of thorns, as usual, watched themselves wag their tails.

Only Erha, seeing that he didn't have anything in his hand, he just stood up and looked at it, and then lay down again.

At the end of the alley, in front of the butcher's butcher's shop, a light was lit.

This makes this dark alley no longer seem so depressing and desperate, which makes people feel a lot more at ease.

The most surprising thing for Xiao Huan was the record player lady.

When he was in the bar, seeing that the record player lady was working so hard and conscientiously, Xiao Huan did not disturb her, and at this time, looking up at the second floor, he immediately felt a spiritual connection, and at the same time, a message appeared in his mind:

[Special Item: Bewitching Jukebox]

[Grade: B]

[Secondary Enhancement Points: 33 points]

[Note: When you are running in confusion and struggling in flesh and blood, the wonderful girl is still waiting for you in the city]

【……】

"33 points?"

Xiao Huan was taken aback, five thousand points can allow Miss Jukebox to complete the second enhancement.

Now, there are only 33 points left?

She herself earned 4967 points in such a short period of time?

Shocked in his heart, Xiao Huan quickly straightened his face: "At that time, didn't you promise that the reinforcement would be completed when I came back?" ”

"Why is there so much missing?"

“…… Last time I just needed to spend a point on you, this time it's too much! ”

“……”

Although he now has tens of thousands of points, correspondingly, thirty-three points is not much, but the attitude still has to have, his hundreds of thousands of points are important, living in such a world, why don't you need points?

Project Noah alone costs millions of points!

Therefore, it is still necessary to reprimand two sentences.

But when Xiao Huan expressed his dissatisfaction, the second floor with the white curtains was silent.

Vaguely, I seemed to hear a soft "heh"......

Xiao Huan couldn't see the record player's appearance, but he could feel her dissatisfaction from this uncertain sneer.

These employees, you can't be too nice to them.

I worked hard to help them strengthen and grew up all the way, and now I will talk back......

"Keep up the good work."

He didn't want to say anything more, just silently admonished and returned home.

The sound of pushing open the iron door was a little loud, and before Xiao Huan walked into the living room, the light in his mother's bedroom turned on, no, his mother walked out with her clothes on, her hair was fluffy, and she looked at Xiao Huan blamefully and said, "It's just a business trip, why did you come back so late?" I didn't sleep well, so I woke you up all of a sudden...... Are you hungry or not, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat. ”

Xiao Huan couldn't hold back all of a sudden.

You will blame and care for a while, so should I be hungry or not?

Fortunately, his mother didn't care about his answer at all, and said dissatisfiedly as she walked to the kitchen.

Xiao Huan had no choice but to sit down and wait.

One thing to say, I really haven't eaten, from the time I got off the train to the present, I drank a glass of wine with Yang Jia.

Looking at his mother's tinkling appearance in the kitchen, Xiao Huan also exhaled silently, if you ignore some strange and indescribable things you have experienced outside, your current life is indeed what you have been looking forward to in those four years, you can go out like a normal person, you can have a job that is not tiring and makes money, and your mother doesn't have to look at herself with such hatred every day.

Now I seem to have gotten what I've been dreaming of, but it's this way.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something: "What would happen if my mother found out about my father's death?" ”

Will she accept the fact that her father died in front of her?

Will she believe that her father's death has nothing to do with her?

Such worries made his heart beat involuntarily, and he remembered a lot of worrying things.

But even he didn't expect that when his heart was beating like this, there seemed to be some kind of strange flame, which suddenly flashed around him, this kind of flame could not be captured with the naked eye, and even the spiritual perception of strangers was difficult to detect, but it was at a certain level, and instantly burned into this city where Xiao Huan had lived for a long time, so the whole city was affected.

A certain logic has quietly taken shape in the ocean of human-based spiritual interweaving.

A certain secret began to be buried, but it was for Xiao's mother to bury it alone.

She will begin to be insulated from this news forever.

It's like, since Xiao Huan doesn't want her mother to know about this, then she will never know about it.
