"Looks like the necklace works well." Xi did not lie, the green delicate necklace has a convincing quality, perhaps the reason for the nature of the tentacle monster, as long as Jiang Ke activates the peaceful and stable energy in it, the tentacle monster can no longer condense Chinese characters in the line of sight.

Upgrade the ability to predict the original rebellion, so as to see the cause and effect line from a high level, Jiang Ke can get a power that seems to be like a god and a ghost between his actions, to be honest, it is very tempting, and the tentacle monster has a saying that is right, you can see the picture of the past and the back, this state has been hovering for a long time, and you will have a tendency to indulge in it. Just as countless people pursue money and power, and enjoy that high superiority.

But Jiang Ke didn't think too much about it, and made the decision to reject the other party. One of the most important things is that Jiang Ke doesn't believe in tentacle monsters, it's too dangerous to do business with demons, tentacle monsters may have existed for a long time, and Jiang Ke doesn't know all kinds of means and experiences, even if it can only talk weakly in the way of retina (this method is very amazing), it still occupies a natural advantage, compared to her, she is a little lamb to be slaughtered, and the other party is waiting for her to enter the set. So she didn't believe all what the tentacle monster said, whether it was resurrection, or if there were other plans, Jiang Ke was not ready to cooperate with the other party anyway.

Pushing open the glass door, the room was much warmer, Jiang Ke stretched his body, thinking that the heating would be provided in a while, the freezing point would come quickly, autumn and winter would be together, and the dripping water would be frozen.

"You're back." Bai Yujing was wearing a maid's outfit, and after watching it for a long time, there would be fewer thoughts of such strange dresses, the other party was cleaning, and when he saw Jiang Ke coming in, he stepped forward and said, by the way, he took Jiang Ke's umbrella with rain stains on his hand and put it in the shelving point.

"Well, I'm back, wouldn't it be a little tiring to go to work on the first day of the long vacation and leave you alone?" Jiang Ke habitually looked at it, there was only one corner of the guest, hey, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, since Qingyun Daoyou left, I felt that the coffee shop was a lot more deserted.

Qingyun Daoyou has been gone for half a month, so he should be back soon. Jiang Ke thought so, maybe he had already finished his errands and was on the train back, well, given his character, he shouldn't go to the place where he was drunk and drunk in the other world to keep his health after finishing his work...... Alas, forget about men, I understand.

Bai Yujing continued to sweep the floor, although the ground looked clean, "I'm not very tired, the store is not very busy, and it feels good to work after resting." ”

"That's good." Jiang Ke put his things away and changed his clothes, and sat at the bar with Bai Yujing.

In the gloomy weather of autumn, the two girls run the café in a way that does not match their age, which seems to outsiders to be a little sideways, regular customers and new customers will ask, Jiang Ke and they will answer, and then most of the people they get are people's goodwill, of course, the world is so big, there are still bad guys, during this time I also encountered a few small troublemakers, difficult people, the starting point is probably in the appearance of Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing, but so far there has been no indifferent scene, and the regular customers in their thirties will say a few words. If there is really bad intentions, just ordinary people, Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing are not afraid.

Time passes like this, Hangzhou is attached to the sea, fishing boats go in and out, bridges and tunnels on the mountains and hills pass through the high-speed rail, people flow here, the same leaves are zeroed, the green grass is getting lower and lower every morning, the frost and dew are deep, the autumn is deep, Jiang Ke's coffee shop is also welcoming different people, closed for business, the soft lights illuminate and extinguish, and the two girls are also living a little special and monotonous.

Before you know it, November has arrived.

Jiang Ke was wearing a thick thread coat, leaning on the glass door printed with various literary and artistic patterns, it was raining coldly outside, the car people were bleak, and there were no customers in the store, she was in a daze.

There was a touch on her arm, and Bai Yujing poked her and handed her a steaming cup of coffee.

"Thank you." Jiang Ke smiled, clasped his hands, and continued to empty the outside.

The maid outfit that started as a playful person has withdrawn from the historical stage of the coffee shop because of warmth, Bai Yujing is wearing a yellow loose sweater and black leggings underneath, and her body looks more petite and cute.

The black-haired girl's eyes quietly moved towards the golden figure, and said casually: "Sister Jiang Ke, why hasn't the boss come back yet." ”

Jiang Ke took a sip of coffee, her face was slightly brighter, and when she heard Bai Yujing's words, she sighed, "Who knows, this Qingyun Daoist, why did he leave for so long, and there is not even a news until now." No, there are too many beauties in the place where he goes, and I can't miss it. ”

Bai Yujing also held the coffee cup in her hand and said with a smile: "The boss is not so irresponsible, maybe he has encountered a troublesome matter that he has to deal with." ”

"No, I'm obviously much more likely." Jiang Ke squinted his eyes and nodded deeply, and the flash of the detective flashed in his eyes, "You must know that the outside world is not accurate, I know the man best, when I meet the monster mother, the beast ear, the twins, [beep], [beep-] and other strange things, it will completely become an animal thinking in the lower half of the body." ”

Bai Yujing reluctantly said, "I always feel that Sister Jiang Ke, what you were blocked in the end was a very bad thing......"

Jiang Ke patted Bai Yujing's shoulder as if she had come over, so far, she is still taller than the other party, which is good news.

"Children don't need to know too much."

After making a joke, when the topic was calm, Jiang Ke's mood was once again immersed in the other side. Qingyun Daoyou, it's been a bit long since I've been out this time.

……

"Dididu...... Hey, who's that? A mature male voice came from the phone.

"I'm Jiang Ke, that, do you still remember me, I ...... in Hangzhou in June"

In the coffee shop at night, most of the lights have been turned off, Bai Yujing is doing the finishing work, wrapping her apron and looking at the blonde girl who is talking on the phone from time to time, she is sitting on the high chair, and the hand that is not holding the mobile phone is pinching the corner of her clothes.

It was a cold autumn month, and it was already halfway through November, and Jiang Ke made a call to Xu Bin in the imperial capital.

"Oh, Jiang Ke, I know, you're the black-haired, well, the girl next to Mr. Yu Bai." Xu Bin, who was thousands of miles away, began to speak in a warm voice, and said with a smile, "Why do you have time to call me...... By the way, thank you very much last time, otherwise the task may not be completed. ”

"Where, Where, ......"

Jiang Ke exchanged a few words, didn't say much greetings, and got to the point in his own way.

“…… No, no, next time I come to the imperial capital to visit your NNRC, I actually think it's quite stylish to say it haha...... I wanted to ask something. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xu Bin didn't look like he was working, he was free and his tone was relaxed, "I guess it's about Mr. Yu Bai, don't worry, I'm very familiar with it, say!" ”

"Uh......"

Although Xu Bin was a little too kind, such an attitude still relieved Jiang Ke, who was making this phone call with apprehension, and paused and said, "It's nothing, Qingyun Daoyou...... Well, didn't Yu Bai get the ticket from you, but he hasn't come back yet, do you have any news of him? ”

"Oh, I'll just ask."

Jiang Ke thought of something, and hurriedly added, which provoked Bai Yujing, who was also listening to it, almost broke a cup.

"Oh...... This one. Xu Bin was probably stunned by Jiang Ke's last sentence, why don't you ask casually and make such a long phone call to do something?

Speak back to the original, "You just said that Yu Bai didn't go back?" Ouch, it's been November now, and he hasn't gone back yet? ”

“……”

What are you talking about, you're asking me?

Jiang Ke's face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile, "Yes, I didn't come back, so I came to ask if you know anything about him." ”

Don't tell me you don't know.

"Oh, I don't know, ......."

I'm [beep--], God's coworker.

Xu Bin's tone was a little embarrassed, and he said: "You also know Mr. Yu, it's not under our control, helping him get a ticket is a private sponsorship, and I don't care if he leaves." ”

Jiang Ke listened, her heart sank, although Xu Bin was still talking, she knew that the rest was basically meaningless to her.

"Aren't we all very relieved, the general masters disappear silently, and then Biu came back with a bang, and this time it should be about the same...... He really didn't come back? ”

Jiang Ke hummed heavily.

Perhaps feeling Jiang Ke's mood, Xu Bin, who got rid of the relaxed chat, was also a little more serious, "Well, it may be that something has happened, this kind of thing often happens, there is always something beyond imagination in the outside world, but with his skills, there will definitely be no danger to his life, just rest assured, don't think too much......"

"Where did Qingyun Daoyou's ticket go?" Jiang Ke clung to the remaining hope, and although reason knew that it was useless, he still wanted to get a glimmer of information.

"Hub Station...... If you don't understand it, you'll get to the content of the paranormal realm if you go down......"

Jiang Ke's heart moved.

The conversation after that is not much nutritious, if Yu Baizhen has not heard from him at all, Xu Bin's Huaxia NNRC has no way, and they have no news channel, although the intelligence has been trying to extend to the outside world, but it is undoubtedly difficult, even if the efforts are launched, a few small informants are simply delusional about finding a person in the world. The current goal and purpose of the Earth NNRC is to ensure the safety of people and property within known ranges, and to maintain social stability in the face of possible surreal interference. If Yu Bai doesn't come back for a few years, they can only passively accept this objectively knowable news on the earth, and the only thing they can do is to feel that Yu Bai is living another life in the outside world.

In the end, Xu Bin embarrassedly asked Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing if it would be too difficult for the two girls to manage the coffee shop, and if he wanted to let the people over there help him, Jiang Ke naturally refused, and the exchange ended.

"Whew-"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ke threw the phone on the bar and shook his head at Bai Yujing.

"It's not reliable...... The boss must be fine. Bai Yujing held the broom, complained about the NNRC, and then said.

"Actually, I've thought about it a long time ago, the earth is in a fairly remote location in the multiverse, and going to the Huaxia branch of the NNRC to ask for help will have no result, that is, ask." Jiang Ke clapped his hands and began to finish the day with Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing didn't say anything more, the two cleaned up in silence, turned off the lights and went upstairs before saying something. In fact, they are all very concerned about Yu Bai's affairs, but they will not pour out their bad emotions so quickly without being polite. Bai Yujing comforted Jiang Ke without any power, and she was occasionally free during the day, and there were very few people she knew when she came here, except for Jiang Ke and Yu Bai, there were only a few familiar guests who had talked and laughed. It's not that Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing can't live alone, but they can't just leave it alone.

Siberian high pressure condenses, the northeast wind is coming, November is also passing quickly, Jiang Ke wears a cotton jacket, walks under the bald branches to work, people on the bus drink white gas, arrive at the station to check in, high school students are cold and hot after the morning run, class and study, the semester is about to end, everyone begins to prepare for the final exam, and then it is the New Year. In the coffee shop in Hangzhou, as time went on, some ideas that should have been legitimate but never considered, Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing, two girls, waited for Yu Bai's news, but unfortunately the result was disappointed, and the news was lost for a long time, and anxiety arose.

Two and a half months is enough time to wear out some people's patience.
