Although it was summer, it was shrouded by dark clouds. Night soon fell. Looking out of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the crystal clear city streets, and the night view is pleasant.

"It might rain later." It was on the upper floor of a hotel more than thirty stories high, and Wasabi leaned over to look down at the street below and quickly shrank back, making some caviar with a small spoon and putting it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and savoring it.

Lan Zi also shoveled a small spoonful, threw it in his mouth and swallowed it directly, pouting: "Is it delicious...... It smells a little fishy......"

Wasabi frowned and thought for a while, "It's expensive." ”

"It's also ......" has been eaten several times, Lan Zi still doesn't understand what is delicious about caviar, there are a mountain of delicious things in the hall, and so is caviar, all of which are taken by themselves, so think about it, the two invitations that can come in here to participate in the banquet are estimated to be worth a lot.

The noisy voices in the hall were still coming, this was a half-moon-shaped hall on the outside of the hotel, Lan Zi and Wasabi were sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window eating, and the various foods on the plates were piled high. Lan Zi didn't bother to think about what this party was for, in short, when he mentioned to Aunt Zhang a few days ago about the fifth anniversary of their meeting, the two invitations given by Aunt Zhang were just for him to come over with mustard for a leisure. Lan Zi had also accompanied Aunt Zhang to several banquets before. I know some rich people, and at this time I get together with Wasabi to point fingers and say bad things about these people.

"I heard Aunt Zhang say that the fat man used to make a fortune selling rat poison, and now he has become a monopoly as a non-staple food......

"What brand?"

"Uh...... Forgot...... But if you see it, you should be able to remember it, and we'll go to the supermarket later, and I'll show you. ”

"Well, don't buy his stuff in the future."

"No, you have to be selective."

"Huh?"

In the astonished of the mustard, Lan Zi bit her ear quietly: "Who does you have a bad relationship with, buy this brand when you give gifts." Aunt Zhang bought a lot of Ah Qin during the Chinese New Year last year, and then the boss saw it, and this year he also got a project for Aunt Zhang to do ......"

Wasabi laughed suddenly, and his forehead was against Lan Zi's shoulder and he laughed: "It's too much to cheat you......"

"Ahem, it has nothing to do with me, I just helped out when I bought it......" Lan Zi said and couldn't help laughing, "That's right, there's that one over there, I heard that there are five wives......"

"Huh? Isn't that a panache? ”

"Where is the style, is the old man next to him good, the youngest is only twenty-one years old...... The one with the pie, I heard Aunt Zhang say that the company is about to collapse, and she is a seafood seller......" Lan Zi said as she stuffed an unknown crispy food into her mouth, "Oh, this is delicious." ”

"I can't see it......" Wasabi said his opinion to the boss who seemed to be very stylish, and then turned his head to look at Lan Zi. What's delicious? ”

"No, triangular ......" Lan Zi looked down at his plate, his fingers were still stained with some cream overflowing from the crispy skin, he was grabbed by the mustard, put it between his lips and sucked it off, Lan Zi looked at her casual and seductive movements, and was slightly stunned, the mustard narrowed his eyes and nodded: "I'll look for it later, the crispy ...... of the triangle"

"It's like an egg roll...... I didn't pay attention. Ah, look, big stars. ”

Lan Ziyi said, Wasabi also turned around, and the two of them lay on the sofa and watched a movie star walk past not far away.

"I just knew, I haven't seen her movies...... Can I go over and ask for a signature? ”

"Wouldn't it be rude?"

"Forget it......"

The little couple continued to eat, and Lan Zi continued to show off his "knowledge" to Wasabi: "Look, that's a homosexual. ”

"Which one?"

"Both, ahem...... The two of them are a couple. ”

"Wow, that's handsome."

Everyone has a love for beauty, and there are little stars flashing in Mustard's eyes, and Lan Zi is a little unhappy: "But they are gay." ”

"And they're coming to us."

"Uh......"

The two who were gossiping about Lan Zi had already walked over. Fang Qingyi smiled and waved his hand to him: "Hey, Baoshu, you are also here." ”

Lan Zi hurriedly stood up: "Ah, Mr. Fang." ”

"It's okay to call me Qingyi. Let me introduce, my boss, Yan Moxuan, Huo Qinan, who was idle drinking, changed his face slightly, but his smile did not disappear. Qin Zhidan asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”

"Maybe tonight, He Donglin made a move."

"So fast?"

"Fast?" Huo Qinan smiled, and then shook the red wine in the glass, "He does it, everyone's transaction will end here, I have asked the side to monitor as much as possible, as long as the dead person of the boundary monument is confirmed, immediately inform the boundary monument of the information that was prepared before He Donglin...... In this kind of thing, you can't be on the wrong side, and you still have to perform. ”

"Understand...... Ah Hu Xiaolei and they are all outside, do you want to inform them to come back and prepare for the emergency? ”

"Without them, it's not a big problem, but ...... You can make a phone call, in case something happens, they know about it, and it's okay to respond. ”

*******************

At the hotel, the banquet continued, the clock pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet had just begun, but the dinner was considered full. Coming out of the bathroom, Lan Zi shook off the water stains on his hands and craned his neck to see where the mustard should be...... It's gone......

Probably went to the bathroom too, Lan Zi looked back at the bathroom passage marked with a female character. Then he turned his head and saw Zhang Yumo, who was talking to someone in the crowd not far away, saw him, and waved to him with a smile.

"What's wrong? What about girlfriends? Accosted by someone else? ”

"Probably not, I guess I went to the bathroom."

"Oh, beware, there are a lot of wolves in this kind of banquet." Yu Mo smiled.

"Roger." Thinking about the overall quality of mustard, it was really very dangerous in this kind of banquet, Lan Zi suddenly became vigilant, and his eyes swept around. I accidentally found the figure of Wasabi who had shifted slightly. was really accosted, he said hello to Yumo and went over there. Yu Mo couldn't help but laugh, seeing that Lan Zi had already walked a long way, she looked towards Wasabi, and after a while, she realized the identity of the person who was talking to Wasabi at this time, and her smile disappeared.

"That's ......"

Because it was a conversation, it was naturally a man who was talking to Wasabi at this time, but when Lan Zi walked up to Wasabi and declared sovereignty with an action, and asked what was wrong, Wasabi with a plate gave a somewhat surprising answer: "This gentleman said he knew you." ”

"Acquaintance?" Lan Zi looked at the man with some doubts, the man was about thirty years old, smiling in a gentlemanly manner, Lan Zi did have an impression, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, at this moment, a woman came up from behind: "Ah, he has no impression of you, Ah Xu." ”

"I was hit." The man known as Ah Xu held his forehead.

This woman has also seen it, and an impression in his mind is about to come out, and then, a slightly feminine man came over from the other side: "I only saw it yesterday, it's a pity, Ah Xu, Xiaolei, he has no impression of you at all, but ......" The man's smile came closer, "You should always remember me." ”

These people ...... It was some of Huo Qinan's followers who followed him yesterday, and the man with such a feminine appearance was the one who cut off his energy flow yesterday. Lan Zi naturally recognized it, and he didn't know what kind of expression it was: "Oh, it's you......" He replied lightly. Wasabi seemed to be suspicious at first, but at this time, he hesitated a little, but nodded and showed a smile: "Oh, hello, my name is Guo Zili......" She said and even stretched out a hand. Lan Zi grabbed her shoulders and pulled her abruptly to the side of her body.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" From the moment Wasabi introduced himself and said his name, Lan Zi's eyes had completely cooled, and Wasabi also realized that something was wrong. The two men and one woman in front of them smiled: "Oh, it's your girlfriend." ”

"It's called Guo Zili, a good name."

"I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, so I'm here to say hello."

The three of them said these words, and Zhang Yumo, who rushed over, was already close, but the three of them had already left Lan Zi's side, and the woman named Xiaolei smiled: "My girlfriend is very beautiful, when will I come to my sister's company, my sister will help pack it, and it can be sold to the United States." ”

Ah Xu said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back." ”

The energy controller with a feminine face lowered his voice and walked past Lan Zi with a smile: "We're just afraid that we'll make a mistake in the future, so let's ...... first Apologies. Hehe......"

The three of them hooked their shoulders and walked away with a smile, and after a while, they met a man with a mobile phone in a corner, and the man glanced at the three of them: "What are you doing?" Laugh like this. ”

"It's nothing, I just met an acquaintance, just say hello, and you're very familiar with it."

"What acquaintances...... Just now the boss called, He Donglin made a move over there, although nothing happened to us, but ...... Get ready to go. In the hall, Mustard pulled Lan Zi's clothes: "What kind of person is that?" ”

"Underworld." Lan Zi had already restrained his cold face, and pouted at this time, "Little minion, it's not a big problem, hmph, I'll ask someone to clean them up later......"

Soon after, approaching a secluded street on the outskirts of Jianghai City, Chen Yadi saw Guo Ying coming from the other side of the road, she was wearing a red coat and a hat with her clothes on. It has been raining for a day and a night since yesterday, and the night breeze is cold at this time, and when he approached, he spread his hands: "Suddenly so urgent, is there anything wrong?" What did you find again? ”

"You didn't call me out......"

The expressions of the two of them froze there, and the next moment they turned into vigilant eyes and began to look around. The last drops of water dripped from the leaves and eaves, the streetlights dimmed, the world was quiet in the cold wind as if it were dying, and then the faint sound of footsteps could be heard in the air.

"Let's ...... away"

A voice like a whisper came from the street, and soon the dark shadow gradually showed its outline: "Hurry up." ”

The figure gradually turned into the image of Zhong Mingqi covered in blood, he didn't know how many wounds were scratched on his body, he trembled all over at this time, and said, "Hurry up." ”

Guo Ying, who was wearing a red coat, stood there with her hands in her pockets and did not move. Chen Yadi's eyes had become serious, and he walked directly towards Zhong Mingqi: "Don't talk, old Zhong ......"

If you can't retreat, can't you see that it's already a life-and-death situation...... However, Chen Yadi's words did not come out, and Zhong Mingqi's voice suddenly tore the night sky of the street.

"Hurry up!"

Blood poured out of his body.

Between the cities separated by a big river from here, Ye Chi walked into the building, suddenly seemed to think of something, paused slightly, and then continued to go upstairs.

"He Donglin has done it."

In another room not far away, the "Emperor" sat there with a frown, holding a pistol in his hand, "clicking" open the chamber to see the bullets inside, then pushed it up, raised the muzzle to aim, and after a second, lowered it again and opened the chamber, then pushed it up again, lifted it up, and put it down......

Ye Chi walked out of the corridor and walked into the corridor leading to the room.

"Click", "click", pull the chamber of the gun, push it up, lift it up, think about it and put it down, lift it up, put it down, lift it up, put it down, lift it up, the posture of the "emperor" fixed there, and then tilted his head.

"Click", Ye Chi pulled down the handle of the room, as if he felt something, and frowned.

The "Emperor" put down the gun, raised his head, exhaled, and then, at last, stood up and threw the pistol aside.

"Let's do it."

At 8:19 p.m. on June 23, 2002, a huge explosion occurred on the sixth floor of the Beihe Commercial Building in Beihe District, Jianghai City, and the flames swept across the entire floor, and the entire commercial street was ignited. Chaos began.

In Beijing, Fang Shaobai had a rare holiday today, playing checkers with his wife while watching the news at home, and the phone rang.

"Jiang Hai's Abnormal Action ...... to Discover the Gate of Truth"

"Oh, Ye Chi is there...... Is it true? ”

"The news has just come, and at the same time, it will be relayed to Team Leader Ye...... Wait, there's new news coming in......"

After a moment, Fang Shaobai stood up and buttoned up his shirt: "It's really troublesome, I'm going to go to the bureau, but ...... Should be able to come back soon. He smiled and reassured his beautiful wife.

*********************

If with He Donglin's action, the next actions of the Gate of Truth, Huo Qinan's actions, the outbreak of battles, and the series of events eventually led to the connection between Jianghai and Beijing were a whole that affected the whole body, then these things that happened on the other side of the city should have been just a small episode. It doesn't have much to do with some of the things that started in the city at this time, and in the beginning of the time segment, it's just a small note outside the score.

As part of this note, Gao Xu, Sha Xiaolei, Ji Wenbo, and Tang An have moved away from the hotel, and the four of them are sitting in a sports car, driven by Tang An, the energy controller, and Sha Xiaolei is sitting in the passenger seat. Ji Wenbo and Gao Xu sat in the back row.

We must know that at this time in Jiang Hai, anyone's heart will beat wildly a few times when these four names are spoken, and the four people in front of them all have the most core position in Huo Qinan's group, led by Ji Wenbo, all of whom are still alive after experiencing the baptism of blood, and are judged to be fifth-level evolutionaries. At this time, several people in the car laughed and talked about Fang Cai's prank, and talked about the evolutionary named Xie Baoshu who suddenly became "frightened eyes" and "pale face" - of course, in their opinion, this is how things were.

This kind of thing can only be regarded as a small pastime on a whim, not to mention scary, even if it is really done, it is not the first time, the main reason is that it has been too boring recently, and after the position of the Southern Tiger Group is stabilized, there will be fewer real battles for these people. The days are not exciting enough, of course, scaring a young evolutionary may not bring much pleasure, the three of them just smiled casually, Ji Wenbo didn't know that his personality has always been calm, but after listening to it, he didn't care about it, just said casually: "There are still a few days to do it to him, why bother." ”

"It's boring."

"What can he do, but looking at the look in his eyes at the time, it looks like he really wants to bite me, hahahaha......"

"You said it wouldn't be like this, and he just came to join us?"

"Cut, that's boring......"

"When the time comes, everyone wants to have a show, haha, let Xiaolei train him......"

Laughter rang out in the car, and after turning onto a dark road, the speed gradually slowed down, and the engine let out a final groan. On one side of the road was a hill fenced with barbed wire, which was probably a ruined old school or something, and on the other side there was no construction. Tang An, who was driving, frowned, but the sports car finally stopped.

"What? Broke down? Sha Xiaolei reacted and asked confusedly.

Tang An hadn't answered yet, and Ji Wenbo in the back frowned: "There should be street lights in this section." ”

It's not the first time they've driven over here, there are indeed street lights on this section of the road, but at this time there are only rows of street lamp poles standing there, and it is dark all around, without any lights, and then, the mobile phones on several people sound automatically shutting off. Tang An smiled: "That kid has caught up, and his energy is draining." ”

"I'm very conceited." Gao Xu in the rear smiled, and Sha Xiaolei also laughed: "I want to die." There's no way, I can only kill him in advance and then explain to the boss. ”

Tang An, who had a feminine face, held the steering wheel with both hands, leaned over, and suddenly, a blue electric ball appeared in the darkness twenty meters in front of him, and it shot out, and it met the figure walking a few meters away, the figure waved his hand casually, and the electric ball circled around him like a dragon and disappeared.

The sound of footsteps came from the darkness, cool water droplets fell from the street lamp pole, and Lan Zi's figure gradually appeared, not as cold as in the previous banquet, just looking at this side lightly, walking towards the front of the sports car. Lan Zi always has a child's face that doesn't seem to grow big, and it doesn't stand up, and the deterrence is limited, Sha Xiaolei smiled: "Hey, do you want to die?" "His ability seems to be good, but it doesn't matter, the four people on his side are not afraid of such a challenge at all, even if he is a genius child, he can only die here today.

Lan Zi walked all the way to the front of the sports car, and then stopped, his eyes were very serious: "You were in the hotel just now, are you threatening me?" ”

Gao Xu sneered, Ji Wenbo shook his head, frowned in the car and replied, "Do you think it is necessary for you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's okay to say it positively...... Lan Zi shook his head, "After talking about it yesterday, I knew that your boss was definitely going to do something to me, I thought it was raining today, so I ...... Well, whether you're a threat today or not, no matter what you say, I know you're going to be going to do it these days, so what I want to tell you is......"

He leaned down, pressed his hands on the hood, and looked through the windshield at the feminine-looking man in the driver's seat.

"If I make a mistake, I'll apologize to you."

Above the car, the slight light swelled suddenly like a heart, Sha Xiaolei and the others noticed the situation of their companions in the driver's seat, just a few words between the two sides, Tang An sat there with his body tense, trembling slightly, he stared at Lan Zi in front of him with wide eyes, the blood vessels on his forehead were swollen, and his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth at this time, and blood overflowed from his nostrils, mouth, and ears.

As an evolutionary, there is probably only one reason that can cause him to suddenly become like this.

When the other party manipulated the energy, as the same controller of the energy, he was also trying to manipulate the power and compete with it, but due to the disparity in power, at this moment, he was swallowed by the huge power, and he couldn't even speak.

The other three people had never seen such a situation happen to Tang An.

He is a fifth-level capable person, even if he has a little moisture, he is the pinnacle of the fourth-level, he has done things to suppress others with strength, and others directly pressed him with strength, how is this possible?

They were just stunned for a moment, and with a "bang", Tang An leaned back, the blood vessels in his head exploded, his two eyes also exploded, and blood spurted out and flew into the air.

The next moment, the abilities collided together. A huge explosion stained the entire street, flames rising and waves swept in all directions, smashing everything abruptly......
