After Jiang Ke said the words of consultation, the room fell silent.

Xi's expression couldn't see the change, but her eyes were sharper, and she raised her hand with a wave of her hand, and a silver energy light screen covered the room.

"Deriver, I heard you right." Xi looked at Jiang Ke seriously.

Jiang Ke nodded, looked up at the light mask that blocked the sound, and it didn't feel anything special to stay inside.

"But you said ......" Xi said as unhurriedly as possible, and then suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Jiang Ke's forehead thoughtfully, "I see, I understand." ”

Xi Zhi's tone was a little relieved and regretful, Jiang Ke knew that the other party should have misunderstood something, maybe she felt that she had made a deal with the evil thing in her body, but it was very complicated to explain, and there was no need to explain it clearly, as long as she could negotiate cooperation with Xi.

Xi looked at her with a slightly gloomy and incomprehensible look, as if she was about to lose a friend, and her mouth was still flat, "Of course I'm willing to initiate a consultation, but depending on the meaning of the derivator, I should have my own requirements for compensation." ”

"That's right." Jiang Ke picked up the silver pure cup, the tea in it was no longer hot, she tasted it, what did it taste...... She didn't seem to be able to taste it, but there was a faint stream of heat flowing from her stomach to her limbs, which lifted her spirits, "I want to find someone." ”

Surprise flashed in Xi's eyes, this was different from the nerve-wracking consultation fee she expected, "Just looking for someone?" ”

Jiang Ke hesitated, but still whispered, if Qingyun Daoyou is in trouble, it will definitely not be a simple matter, and if you ask the other party for one-stop service, it may be hindered.

"No problem." Xi barely paused, and agreed to come down, if it was just to find someone, it would be a good deal with her energy, and the important thing was that it would not cause too much trouble.

It is said that it is a transaction, and the trade-offs are tacit.

"But I have a small condition." Jiang Ke stretched out his fingers and rubbed them, looking embarrassed as a jerky negotiator, "Because if you go back in time, I am not familiar with it, and it will consume ...... It can also be big, so I'd like to hear from that person before I can help you complete the consultation. ”

Xi's face was not wavering, he knelt upright and sat on the futon and listened quietly, and seemed to be deaf to the hidden feelings in Jiang Ke's words, nodded lightly, and agreed.

In this way, the negotiation is settled, Jiang Ke relieved the tense mood that had been tense, and glanced at Bai Yujing, both of whom saw the other party's relief.

The soundproof light screen was removed, and at the hub station, Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing walked according to the plan, and after communicating in detail, the people who could be mobilized under Xi's subordinates turned into a force and spread out to act, trying to catch the tail of a certain whirlpool.

……

On the other side, brightly lit laboratories.

People were still busy, even though the fatigue caused by the long hours of work was tiresome, but no one objected, sweat beads soaked the white clothes, and the night doctor stared at the imaging screen with a little bloodshot eyes.

The light and shadow have not paused, sometimes calm and soothing, the girl of the sunny street; Sometimes there will be violent storms and violent tremors, which makes people wonder if they will be shaken.

After a long wait, with a bang, the picture finally went completely black,

"Whew-" The night doctor took off his mask, breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were irritable, but his expression was calm, and he looked down at the lying person as if he had expected it, but the other party opened his eyes at some point, as deep as a wolf in the night, and closed it lightly for a while, without any overreaction. He glanced at the camera in the corner of the ceiling and sneered peacefully at the people around him.

There was a sound of breaking glass, and some people were helpless and angry.

"It's not scientific."

"He killed Moby Dick back then, and it was not scientific." Someone responded, "No one ever expected that it could be done." ”

The voice was tired, "So what now, killed?" ”

"Or you're waiting for him to kill us?"

"I'm not as arrogant as God, weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to survival." ”

"Arrogance is."

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and someone in the darkness had internal fluctuations.

Are you ...... now? It's very arrogant.

……

A few days later, in the same place, in the courtyard with trees and grass, and water flowing through bamboo tubes.

Jiang Ke had no intention of appreciating the beauty of the self-contained harmony in the courtyard, the steaming tea set was placed on the low table, she looked at Xi who was calmly pouring herself a cup of tea, and her tone was slightly anxious, "So, did you inquire?" ”

Xi quietly took a sip of light green tea, and her eyes met with her black eyes, "I should have understood, so I called you to come over." ”

"It's fast, that's great...... Qingyun Daoyou, where is the man named Yu Bai? ”

Xi paused for a while, her long silver hair was combed into a double ponytail today, making her look cold and a little cute, she stroked the crystal handle of the cup without hurrying, and glanced at Bai Yujing, who had not spoken much beside Jiang Ke, without a trace, and said: "I asked people to find it according to the conditions you described, and I got on the train from the earth to the hub station nearly three months ago, and my physical appearance is very clear, it may be to do the propaganda work of the 'consultation room' where you are, focusing on the communication channel of the intelligence intermediary......"

"It's ......a little easier than looking for a needle in a haystack," Xi said, saying that Jiang Ke's simple description of finding people is undoubtedly very difficult, and the range is wide and the time interval is long.

Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing listened carefully to Xi's speech, and then urged her not to sell Guanzi.

"Don't hide it, my family, Genji, happens to have made achievements in the field of intelligence, so the information obtained is basically the best that can be done at the hub station."

Looking at Jiang Ke's eyes, Xi's eyelids drooped, "The owner of your coffee shop, it seems that there is a lot of trouble." ”

Jiang Ke's heart skipped a beat, is that really the case, he squeezed his hand, trying to calm his tone, "Well, you can say it." ”

"I haven't found out where he is now, but the person who took him away is the 'ultimate target', a killer organization."

Bai Yujing's body trembled.

……

Jiang Ke listened carefully to Xi's speech and didn't notice Bai Yujing's abnormality, but Xi observed it.

"The ultimate goal? A killer organization...... Isn't it amazing? Jiang Ke said uncertainly.

Xi's calm silver eyes looked at the little black-haired girl who looked down and didn't know what to think, she looked at Jiang Ke again and nodded, "The scale is not huge, but the reputation is very high, the professional ethics are excellent, and the remuneration is enough, they will accept any murder commission." ”

Jiang Ke wanted to complain about the excellent professional ethics of a killer, but at this time, it was better to think about it. Sure enough, Qingyun Daoyou is in trouble, it's really unusual...... Usually pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.,As soon as you don't hide it, you're immediately surrounded by a pack of wolves.,The opponent is a very strong organization of this level.。

Just when Jiang Ke secretly had a headache and wanted to continue to ask Xi about the situation on the final goal, the other party spoke first.

"Although it's just looking for a person, it's not a matter of intercepting a piece of information alone, well, the professionals in the family know some related things by the way, such as how the person named Yu Bai matches the ...... of the ultimate goal"

Jiang Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's a good thing, you can tell me about it by the way." ”

Xi stopped unexpectedly, she looked at Bai Yujing on the side again, and shook her head, "It shouldn't be necessary." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ke was stunned, he didn't expect this answer at all, "How could it be ......?"

"There's a deeper relationship in it, and it's related to the girl next to you, the underage demon." Xi said something that shocked Jiang Ke, "If she is not mistaken, she knows the inside story, don't you know it as a friend, I thought you would understand everything when I said the name of the ultimate goal." ”

Jiang Ke turned his head and just met Bai Yujing's gaze. Soft eyes that are as moist as mist.

"I'm sorry ......"

……

In a closed secret room, Xi and Jiang Ke sat facing each other, and the consultation about the past had come to an end.

The black eyes are as clear as a mirror, reflecting the outside world, looking through the front, and then without stopping, the deep lake with the breath of transcendence and overlook, crossing time. What is different from the past is that this time there is a trace of black gas that cannot be seen.

Jiang Ke's request for "reward" Xi has been completed, and despite his earnest doubts, Jiang Ke still decided to keep his promise to help Xi go back in time.

The tentacle monster was very cooperative, and after an uncomfortable force was added to his eyes, Jiang Ke felt light for a moment.

Perception suddenly spreads to infinity and vastness, omnipotent, real to the point of unreal.

It seems not physical, but spiritual.

The indescribable sensation was only for a moment, and then the familiar colors flew by and distorted again before her eyes, and this scene suddenly reminded her of the window of the time train when it started.

I didn't have time to think about it, and the matter of the target location that was probably locked in the scope appeared in a flash.

The past seems more elusive than the future, either because it's unfamiliar or because it's not entirely your own ability.

Jiang Ke truthfully recounted everything he saw, Xi listened silently, some of the fragments that didn't know what happened before and after, and the abrupt exposure didn't feel meaningful, but Xi seemed to be able to get the answer he wanted.

"I see, thank you Derivator, this is a successful consultation."

The moment the tide got up, the delicately textured white long sleeves danced in an arc, like a burning flame.

"The ultimate target's headquarters are in the 'Middle Ages', no one knows about it, and most of the rumors are false." Jiang Ke followed Xi out, and the other party said quickly, "But we know that that is their headquarters." ”

"What has the Promoter decided to do, will he go right away?"

"I don't know...... I'll talk to Yu Jing for a while. Jiang Ke said softly, he had just consciously looked back on the past for the first time, and it seemed that most of the power consumption was borne by the tentacle monster, and he was just a little mentally tired.

More importantly, from the sense of infinite perception and the transcendence of seeing and feeling all the deep interiors, it has returned to the three-dimensional of ordinary scarcity, and there is an indescribable emptiness.

Xi didn't speak, but he understood. After that, Jiang Ke and Bai Yujing returned to Xi to prepare a temporary house for them to rest here, and Xi said "If you want to leave, tell me at any time, and someone will be sent to send you over", and they also left quickly, not knowing what to do.

"Little ginger."

In his sight, the familiar black letters appeared uninvited.

Who are you?

Jiang Ke rolled her eyes where the other party couldn't see, she wasn't in the mood to chat with Mr. Tentacle Monster now, "Why, we don't seem to know each other so well." ”

"The same, the same, cultivate the relationship in advance first." The unknown operation is in the retina, and although the words in black are jumping, they are slowly coming out word by word, unlike before, and I feel cautious inexplicably.

"Our cooperation has already begun."

A line of words slowly appeared in Jiang Ke's heart.

"I never promised to work with you." Jiang Ke stabilized his mind and said inwardly.

The tentacle monster didn't seem to be joking, and said seriously in black letters: "This has nothing to do with the verbal agreement, it is just the sound waves transmitted by the vibration of the biological vocal cords, and the form of expression is only the language written by the life itself, and our cooperation, or contract, is more accurate, starting from cause and effect." ”

The tentacle monster knew that Jiang Ke would have doubts, and continued to explain: "Power is not hard-won, equal exchange, energy is conserved, even if someone breaks through the bottleneck in a second, or gets a huge reward at a small price, in the middle, or before, there is already energy accumulated in the transformation. ”

Bai Yujing and Jiang Ke walked into the Japanese-style room arranged by the tide, took off their shoes and entered the entrance, Bai Yujing did the same thing as a child, it was not early, she went to cook obediently, Jiang Ke was confused by the news suddenly thrown by the tentacle monster, she came to the living room to do the futon, and silently accepted the news that it was definitely not good.

"You speak human language, and you can't understand it." Jiang Ke said with a little cold face.

“OK。” The tentacle monster was refreshed, "That is, as soon as you let your prophetic eye see the past through me, the form of the contract between us has already begun, and unless it ends, it will continue. ”

"Listen to you, this contract is invincible." Jiang Ke listened to the gentle metal impact in the kitchen and said.

"That's right, it's impregnable, no one, no one can do it." Black letters kept popping up, to be honest, Jiang Ke wanted to pinch the black words that looked like they were floating in the air, but unfortunately it didn't work.

"Very bluffing, do you think I'll believe it?" Jiang Ke laughed lightly.

"You'll believe it." The tentacle monster is word-by-word, neatly like writing regular script.

"Other 'things' may not be like that, but I'm different."
