Xiao Huan himself didn't even realize this change.

He just ate the noodles that his mother cooked for him, including the poached egg, and then fell asleep in his bedroom, for some reason, he slept very deeply this night, as if even the dream had disappeared, just fell asleep deeply, like a baby living in the womb of the city, in a most relaxed and secure posture, he slept enough for twelve hours.

When he opened his eyes, he could feel the comfort he had never felt before.

It was as if the pain and torture of the previous four years had been greatly relieved because of this unprecedented sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he even felt slightly confused.

Why did all the frustration, anxiety, nervousness, and panic seem to leave me overnight?

Why can the world suddenly settle down as if nothing had happened?

Probably because of the nostalgia for this good sleep, Xiao Huan lay on the bed for a while before slowly getting up.

Seeing the note and breakfast left by her mother, she has gone back to the supermarket to work, Xiao Huan talked to her last night, and now she can earn enough money for this family, and she doesn't need to go to work, but her mother just smiled and said that if she doesn't go to work now, then her son is no longer so at home every day, and who can you show off to make a lot of money?

…… It makes sense.

Xiao Huan didn't stop his mother anymore, but just silently considered a problem.

In order to prevent my mother from being unhappy at work, should I go back and buy the owner of the supermarket?

While thinking about these things, he silently finished his breakfast, and then glanced at the time, it was time for lunch.

There is no important information in the message on the phone, only softly poking and poking to ask herself about her experience in Night City or something, Xiao Huan doesn't know that she is so tall, why is her curiosity so heavy, she is too lazy to answer, so she just plans to go to the dinner invited by the shepherd tonight, and her eyes gradually become a little deeper.

I must be going to this meeting.

When he returned to Black Gate City, he was supposed to investigate what the Black Forest had done to him before.

Now that there is an opportunity to take the initiative to come to the door, he certainly will not miss it.

It's just that after the meeting, what should I ask and what preparations should I make?

Just eating breakfast quietly, but Xiao Huan thought about these problems many times in his heart, then exhaled softly, got up and brushed the plate, and then watched TV at home for a while to pass the time, and when the time was almost close to five o'clock in the afternoon, he got up and cleaned up, brought his pistol and red-handled fruit knife, and went out to take a taxi to the destination.

This meeting with the shepherd, the most mysterious guy in the city of Black Gate, is superficially ordinary to the extreme.

Xiao Huan followed the location on the invitation letter and came to the top of a luxury building in the city's business district, where the decoration is extremely luxurious and expensive, on the surface it is a high-end hotel, with independent meeting rooms, restaurants and bars, but Xiao Huan understands that since the shepherd chose to meet him here, he wants to come to this hotel, which should also be one of the secret strongholds of the Black Goat Club.

With the invitation in hand, Xiao Huan's process of entering this hotel was very smooth.

I took the elevator all the way to the 75th floor, and then transferred here, took an elevator with a professional elevator attendant, and continued to the top floor, and then met a sentry wearing black protective clothing, harsh guns, scanning and inspecting everyone, but I saw the invitation letter in Xiao Huan's hand, these people did not search or ask Xiao Huan, so they let him go directly.

Xiao Huan walked into a door, there was a waiter in a cheongsam who had been waiting for a long time, she took Xiao Huan through a corridor covered with a thick carpet and zigzag forward, finally, after the electronic device determined the code on the invitation, a thick iron door at the end of the corridor opened, Xiao Huan finally came to this mysterious hotel, and saw all kinds of people here.

There is a bar, there is a bowling ball, there are young and graceful girls, and old people with gray beards.

"This is the Black Goat Club?"

Xiao Huan was curious in his heart, observing everything in this place.

The ability of the insight can still be used here, but it seems that there are some obstacles, Xiao Huan understands that there must be some electromagnetic equipment here that can affect the ability of strangers, he has encountered it before, but I don't know if it is because his ability is too strong, or when it is time for them to maintain or replace these equipment, there is little restraint on their ability.

From the perspective of the aborigines, this is the most high-end shelter that civilians can find.

It can even be said that this place is close to the entire Black Gate City and even the surrounding commercial centers, and his father joined this club at his own expense, and easily got the opportunity here, making his career take off again.

It can also be seen that everyone who can join this club is rich and powerful.

While thinking silently, Xiao Huan walked forward calmly.

Under the influence of the ability of the insight, the layout of the entire bar and the crowd were clearly imprinted in his mind.

There were also many people who passed by Xiao Huan and looked at him curiously, which seemed very strange:

"How could such a young person come in this clubhouse?"

“……”

Wealth and status determine whether or not they are eligible to join this club, so most of the people who appear here, especially men, are already over thirty or forty years old, Xiao Huan's age, without a rich woman holding his arm, can be said to be extremely rare, especially the invitation letter he holds in his hand, which shows that he came in as a master, not as an ornament.

Maybe it's the son of a powerful person, or a rising business star?

They speculated silently, but they didn't come forward to ask, just made eye contact with a friendly smile.

Until, there was a person next to a certain bar, who inadvertently turned his head and saw Xiao Huan.

Suddenly, his expression was slightly stunned: "Why does the young man over there look so much like a person?" ”

The people around him were curious: "Who?" ”

"Xiao Zhigong."

The person next to the bar whispered, "The one who was killed in the company by his own son before." ”

“？”

The two immediately turned their heads to look at Xiao Huan, and just happened to meet Xiao Huan's eyes, smiling and nodding at him.

The man's hair was about to explode, and his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted: "Wouldn't it? ”

"Xiao Zhigong's son, isn't he one of those crazy people?"

"How could he be in this club?"

“……”

Just as he was in a state of surprise, someone stood up between a group of sofas in the distance, and saw him wearing a suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair and beard were gray and white, and his face had a confident smile based on power and status, and only a pair of eyes, although they were covered a little with glasses, they still gave people a feeling of being too sharp and aggressive.

He turned from between the sofas and stretched out his hand to Xiao Huan from a distance: "Welcome, Mr. Xiao......"

"Or rather, President Shaw?"

“……”

"Is his surname really Xiao?"

Hearing this salutation, the two people next to the bar were already nervous.

Stared at Xiao Huan's face a few times, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and at the same time he left from the side of the bar, his steps were hurried, as if he had seen a ghost, and starting from the two of them, in the entire quiet and elegant club, there were gradually some suspicious eyes towards Xiao Huan, and the riot began to appear faintly, and many rooms or behind the sofa poked out their frightened and frightened heads.

Xiao Huan ignored these strange eyes looking at him, and did not shake hands with the old man in a suit in front of him.

He had seen the shepherd once, but that time, he was hooded and could not see his face.

But after all, I have talked, I remember his voice, and the insight is not only the face, but also the demeanor and temperament, so Xiao Huan quickly matched the number, and determined that the person in front of him invited him over, the most mysterious guy in Black Gate City.

Shepherd.

So he said directly to the other party: "Why did you ask me to meet here?" ”

It's the stronghold of the Black Goat Club, and it even looks a bit like a base camp.

In the Black Goat Club, there is another group of rich people who have hid for shelter because they are afraid of the "mother".

Isn't he afraid that he will take their nest himself?

"Because only here can you see the truest side of ordinary people facing their mothers."

The shepherd didn't seem surprised at all in the face of this sudden problem, and smiled directly: "The common people don't know about the existence of the mother, so even if they suddenly know that there is such a type of stranger, they won't feel afraid, and the Black Forest is the first priority to solve the problem, so the first lesson they need to learn is to stay calm and thinking when facing strangers." ”

"Only here can you see the truest side."

"They know the existence of the mother, and even know the horror of the mother, and they are not willing to be able to one day just a glance at each other, and they are suddenly deprived of all their wealth and power by strangers, so they seek the protection of the Black Goat Club, to be honest, the promise that the Black Goat gives them is just to protect them, but they prefer to run here when they have nothing to do......"

"The defenses and the luxurious environment of this place were built at their own expense."

"After all, rich people, you have to hide more comfortably......"

"Of course, Ling suddenly appeared here, and his identity is special, how could they not be nervous?"

“……”

Xiao Huan listened silently, nodded, suddenly looked at him, and said, "You're not nervous?" ”

"Why should I be nervous?"

The shepherd looked at Xiao Huan's eyes and said with a smile: "You are our person!" ”

Looking at his calm gaze, Xiao Huan suddenly fell silent, and read a lot of answers from his face.

The shepherd that my father talked about at the beginning, and the pioneer plan that my father talked about, so, the first time we met, the other party had already admitted this matter, confirming the answer I got from my father, I was indeed chosen by the person in front of me, or by the forces he represented, into that what kind of hell plan, only after four years of torture and current madness?

There seems to be some kind of impulse in my heart.

But the ability to explode his mind deprives Xiao Huan of the power of impulsiveness, he can always think of too many things in too short a time, which leads to the habit of almost not doing anything because of impulse, but only clarifying his thoughts in an instant.

"Just because you made me your man."

Xiao Huan replied softly: "And in the case that I don't know anything, that's why you should be nervous, right?" ”

Looking into the eyes of the shepherd in front of him, he said slowly, "So, what I asked from my father before is true?" ”

"I could have lived a stable life as an ordinary person, but it was you who put me through four years of painful torture, it was you who made me fall into a huge hallucination, and even, it was you, and in the end, I could only watch my father die in front of me......"

“…… Until he died, he looked at me with fear in his eyes! ”

“……”

He said these words slowly, but inexplicably, the air around him began to become heavy, and an invisible tension enveloped the two of them.

Xiao Huan was waiting for an answer, and he was sure that no one could lie in front of him.

Shepherds, of course, can't.

"Yes!"

In the face of Xiao Huan's inquiry, the shepherd only nodded slowly: "I presided over the pioneer program. ”

"You're my choice, too."

"When we first met, I apologized to you, that's why."

"Of course, I didn't know at that time that we could officially meet so soon."

“……”

"Plop" "Plop"

Xiao Huan looked at him calmly admitted, and his heart suddenly beat hard.

He closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly opened them, and in his eyes was a vast emptiness.

"Then, I hope you can use thirty seconds to help me find a reason not to kill you now."

“……”

"It doesn't take that long!"

Faced with Xiao Huan's very serious expression and the oppressive and disturbing atmosphere, the shepherd suddenly laughed:

"One sentence is enough."

"Because only I can understand you and help you solve the problems you are most concerned about now."

“……”

Xiao Huan listened to his words, his eyes just looked at him silently.

And the shepherd also looked at Xiao Huan calmly, and really only said one sentence, without adding too many explanations or reasons.

So Xiao Huan was silent, waited for thirty seconds, and suddenly took out a silver pistol.

"Phew!"

He fired a shot at the shepherd.

"Phew!" "Phew!"

As if he were not satisfied, he fired two more shots in succession, and finally even walked over and pulled the trigger one after another towards the shepherd.

The surroundings were instantly chaotic, countless people screamed, ran, and even some were frightened and cried, the chaotic crowding and footsteps crowded the entire club, and armed men in black protective suits rushed over with guns and shouted loudly, but just as they picked up the guns in their hands, the shepherd lying on the ground suddenly shouted: "Everyone don't move!" ”

"Bring the Type III Gene Enhancer, right away!"

“……”

The shepherd's shoulders, chest, and thighs had all been shot, and the flesh and blood of Xiao Huan's beating were blurred, but his head was not broken.

So his full mouth shouted out this sentence, and the people around him were quiet for a moment, and the armed men, really put down the guns in their hands with extreme vigilance, and then, there were people in white protective suits, and quickly came over in advance.

Xiao Huan saw them take out a special injection, which was a bit similar to the violence factor he had used.

It's just that different models should have different functions.

These people quickly injected the injection into the shepherd's body, and the surface of the shepherd's body immediately surfaced strange green tendons, he seemed to be in great pain, but a strange scene appeared in front of Xiao Huan, those wounds torn by bullets, actually after injecting these medicines, bloomed with silky flesh buds, and quickly intertwined and healed.

Xiao Huan didn't stop it, but felt a little surprised.

The gun must be fired, because he is really angry and wants to vent.

But in fact, the shepherd once showed that he was not inferior to Yang Jia, and he should not be able to hurt him.

But he actually greeted these bullets calmly.

And, instead of using any magical ability to heal himself, he used this unknown medicine in front of himself.

"Alright, you all leave!"

While the wound healed quickly, the shepherd slowly sat up, but his face was pale and terrible.

He waved his hand and said to the people around him, "I need to have a good chat with President Xiao." ”

The people around them fled for their lives, including the panicked club presidents and heavily armed guards, as well as these doctor-like characters, the huge club instantly became empty, only Xiao Huan and the shepherd were left, but at the same time, there were suddenly cameras around them, red lights lit up, as if they had opened their eyes.

"It's reasonable to let you be angry."

The shepherd sat back on the couch, his clothes that had just been shredded by bullets and had several large holes exposed, and he smiled: "Although from my point of view, I am not wrong, because the world has been invaded by this mysterious force, and if we want to fight it, then we will inevitably choose some people to enter that power and bring us useful information...... The difference is only in who goes in. ”

"Of course, I can't expect you to have such a high level of consciousness, so I'd rather take a few shots from you."

“……”

Xiao Huan looked into his eyes and understood that this person was willing to take a few shots of himself, so he could give him a few shots.

If he didn't want to die, he wouldn't be able to let him die now.

So he also sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said softly, "Now you can tell me the purpose of asking me to come." ”

"My purpose is simple."

The shepherd rubbed the place where he had just been shot in his chest, it seemed that although the wound was healed, it was still a faint pain, and at the same time he shouted to Xiao: "You have grown up too fast, I didn't expect that you have obtained the fourth-level authority in the mother body in such a short time, so it is time for us to officially start cooperation, I know that now you need our help." ”

"You ...... Help me? ”

Xiao Huan didn't know if this was a shepherd's words, and he couldn't help but sneer on his face when he heard this.

"Yes, just to help you."

The shepherd's expression was very serious at this time, and he said, "I am also helping those strangers." ”

"Noah's plan is not so easy to execute, is it?"

“……”

"Huh!"

Xiao Huan glanced at him in some surprise, not expecting that the name of Project Noah would be said in the mouth of this aborigine.

But his face remained calm, but his face was slightly gloomy: "Why did you know about this plan?" ”

"Of course I do."

The shepherd looked directly into Xiao Huan's eyes and said slowly: "Because I have known Kuang Juemin for a long time, and we are even friends." ”

"And the Noah project he created was originally designed with my participation."

“……”

"Kuang Juemin ......"

Xiao Huan knew that this was the name of the old president, but few people in Heimen City mentioned it, because everyone subconsciously regarded the old president as an elder and a mentor, so they either called him a teacher or an old president, and no one would directly say his name, feeling that there was a lack of respect...... But now, the shepherds call him by his name, as a contemporary.

And the content of his words is even more shocking:

Project Noah, was it designed by the aborigines?

"Isn't that weird?"

And looking at Xiao Huan's slightly surprised expression, the shepherd suddenly laughed and said:

"The two of us should be the first to realize that strangers and aborigines are not incompatible people, Kuang Juemin is very proud, neither with the Hell Organization, nor willing to be attached to Dante's organization, but he chose to believe me, probably because, we all know that strangers want to get rid of the attack of this strange perception, and ordinary people just want to eliminate the invasion of those mysterious forces......"

"The two sides should not be enemies, but the best collaborators!"

"But because both sides have been affected, it is difficult to achieve complete trust and unhindered communication."

"And so ......"

“……”

He paused, looked directly into Xiao Huan's eyes, and said, "You, appeared!" ”
