You Finally Came

However, although they all objected and refused to leave Xiao Xiao and Rabbit Ears alone here, Rabbit Ears was still very insistent. Not only did she order Gao Ning and Pink Force to evacuate, but she also gave a strict order to the staff in the building, "Work overtime until 10 o'clock at most today. Not a second longer. After 10 o'clock, everyone must leave the building."

Others have expressed doubts and concerns.

But Xiao Xiao vaguely understood why she did this:

"Is this a concern that the clash of supernatural elemental forces might affect these ordinary people?"

"..."

When strangers are engaged in life-or-death struggles, they often don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

For outsiders, the indigenous people are merely a backdrop, or even a tool.

At most, the compensation for damaged tools was only one hundred points, but there was no guilt or burden from the loss of any life.

Even though he hasn't yet fully gotten used to treating the indigenous people as tools, he wouldn't hesitate to use them as shields in dangerous situations, just like when facing the four Silver Bullet executives who surrounded him, taking fatal bullets for him. After all, when faced with a life-or-death situation, who would think of caring about a tree?

But the Rabbit Ears are clearly different; she is an indigenous person herself, and one who has some understanding of outsiders.

Therefore, she did not want to see her subordinates die needlessly in such illogical confrontations.

The tree in her eyes is a real person to her.

Having figured all this out, he remained noncommittal about the Rabbit Ears' behavior.

In the end, the Rabbit Ears won. Although Gao Ning and the Pink Armed Forces had a lot of say in the Pink Maiden Gang, the Pink Maiden Gang was essentially a dictatorship. In their eyes, this little rabbit seemed to have a lot of prestige. It was usually laughing and joking, but when its face darkened, Gao Ning and the Pink Armed Forces could only silently obey and retreat.

As a result, once ten o'clock passed, only Xiao Xiao and Rabbit Ears remained in the entire ten-story building.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the lights remaining as pale as ever.

The Rabbit Ears were also very well-behaved, seemingly not worried at all, quietly working on official business at the desk.

Each document was carefully reviewed and signed.

"He's Mingming a gangster, but he's so serious, he really acts like a company CEO?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao suddenly became curious about her at this moment.

Since she has the image of a cold-blooded killer in the Pink Maiden Gang, she certainly can't just stick her head out and look.

Value dropped.

So Xiao Xiao remained silent, still sitting steadily on the sofa, but one of his eyes flew over and hovered above her head.

The dark red vision entered my mind, suddenly opening my eyes to a whole new world:

The first document is an application from a subordinate: Regarding the issue of overdue protection fees, should we cut off a finger or dislocate a leg?

Considering the overdue period, should we add interest and cut off an extra ear?

Please provide your instructions, leader!

Document 2: So-and-so wants to become a witness for the prosecution. Should we kill his whole family or just force him to jump off a building?

Does the assassin company hire Organization O or Organization X?

Note: Organization X is currently running a promotion offering a 25% discount, but Organization O has consistently had a higher success rate than Organization X.

"Damn, that's really professional..."

Xiao Xiao had a vague feeling that his eyes had been opened.

This city is a collection of violence, repression, and distortion, like a stage deliberately woven by someone. These unsuspecting natives live on this stage, and no matter what attitude they take, they will be drawn into it. As a result, some unimaginable and extremely bizarre phenomena have naturally appeared on the stage of this city.

Some dark substances are also fermenting in this eerie city.

So, on such a stage, what is a stranger?

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but think to himself:

Gardener?

Is responsible for removing all the uncontrolled, mutated fruits, leaving only the better ones?

He shook his head helplessly.

Thinking about these things now seems premature. What's more important is to see if the monster they're talking about really exists.

Logically speaking, indigenous people live in a world that is relatively closer to reality in terms of logic.

In their eyes, such an illogical monster could not exist.

The most irrational thing in their eyes must be the massive maternal entity that rules over strangers.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the indigenous people had already begun utilizing Aberrant Creature, or rather, Pain Substance, long ago.

Gene enhancement drugs were developed using Violence Factor, weren't they?

Now that we have researched and utilized the Violence Factor, we cannot rule out the development and research of other elements.

What is he thinking?

But while Xiao Xiao sat quietly on the sofa pondering these questions...

The Pink Rabbit, who appeared to be handling official business, also stole glances at him through the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window across the street.

These people chosen by the forces of madness always possess this cruel and mysterious aura, disregarding life and all the laws of reality, pursuing unknown rules and logic. They are even more ruthless than those of us in the underworld. At least we pursue some money, but they seem to have no desire for it at all, even towards a beautiful, delicate, lovely, sensible, and independent woman like myself...

... I'm not really interested either.

He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa in the distance, staring at his phone in deep thought, wondering what he was doing.

Then I heard him say from his phone, "Hurry up, I'm getting impatient..."

"..."

There are only the two of us in this building. Can't you do something more meaningful?

I won't resist...

"Ah, if only I could enter their world..."

The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became, and she couldn't help but pout. "It's a pity he wouldn't use the power of the mother to corrupt me..."

Just as he was getting more and more depressed, he suddenly heard a loud "bang".

The Rabbit Ears trembled, and it suddenly looked up at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao, while staring at his phone, retracted the Silver Revolver that had been pointing at the wall and explained calmly:

"Oh, it's nothing."

He brandished the gun in his hand and said, "It's acting up again. I'll fire it now so it won't be hard to control later."

That's absolutely true.

Having spent over twenty hours with this Silver Revolver, he gradually realized that it was indeed not so easy to control. Because he carried it with him, he could clearly sense its temperament. Although he had managed to put it to sleep in the bar, the gun's emotions were too intense. Soon, it had accumulated enough emotions to start affecting Xiao Xiao's mind from time to time.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Xiao needed to fire a shot.

It's good that I can control myself from hitting people, but I can't stop myself from opening fire.

Xiao Xiao suspected that when this gun was in the hands of Luo Shen of the Silver Bullet Family, he might have killed someone every now and then.

Of course, it's also because he was the one who killed the person directly, while he was just firing blanks.

So his intervals are probably shorter than Luo Shen's; he might kill someone every day or two.

He himself seemed to fire a shot every four or five hours.

Of course, forcibly suppressing it is not impossible, but the longer it is suppressed, the higher its safety and the greater the probability of accidental discharge.

Rabbit Ears, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Xiao with a slightly flushed face.

After a while, he nodded, then said with some concern, "You keep firing blanks, what if we run out of bullets when we really need them?"

"There are plenty of bullets."

Xiao Xiao answered, but then suddenly felt something was off.

It must be an illusion.

We're discussing very serious issues Mingming now.

Looking back at the pink figure, I saw only the smiling rabbit's clock; it was almost midnight, just three minutes away.

For some reason, the oppressive atmosphere in the empty building, where only all the lights were on, grew heavier and heavier.

Xiao Xiao stared at his phone and closed the game page before his opponent played his last card.

Luckily, I reacted quickly; otherwise, I would have lost.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

He slowly exhaled, stood up, and stretched, using a little of his Violence Factor energy.

My bones were crackling and popping all over my body, which felt incredibly comfortable.

"Later you..."

He turned to look at the Rabbit Ears, intending to tell her what to be careful about if something happened.

But unexpectedly, there was a soft "thump".

Suddenly, all the lights in the entire building went out, plunging us into complete darkness.

"Ah..."

Rabbit Ears suddenly let out a shriek and darted into Xiao Xiao's arms with a "whoosh," clinging to him like a spider.

"They're here, they're here..."

She spoke in a trembling voice, her little head constantly burrowing into Xiao Xiao's arms.

Are you genuinely scared, or are you just trying to take advantage of me?

Xiao Xiao stood still, feeling the soft yet clearly untrembling body, and frowned as he asked.

"Of course I'm really scared..."

As the Rabbit Ears spoke, they hugged him with an air of self-righteousness.

"You're a gangster, how come you're such a coward?"

"Can't gangsters be afraid of the dark?"

"..."

He can, but I always feel he's not quite dedicated enough.

Xiao Xiao mentally grumbled, sighed helplessly, and slowly sat back down on the sofa, pulling out his Silver Revolver and holding it in his hand.

Meanwhile, in the darkness below the building, a faint shadow slowly emerged from the ground. It was a twisted and hideous dark red vine. It slowly stretched out its body, its head an egg-shaped flower bud. Suddenly, the vine rapidly grew upwards, ignoring the barriers between floors, quickly traversing through each level, and soon reached the top floor.

The writhing, eerie flower-shaped package slowly unfolded, revealing a dark red half-human figure inside, which slowly opened its eyes.

Twisted, eerie, and cold eyes stared ahead, gleaming with a predatory light.

My gaze swept over the empty office, the unattended office chairs, then over the doorway, and finally slowly landed on the office's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Then he paused slightly.

I saw a man sitting lazily on the sofa, holding a Silver Revolver in his hand.

On top of him, there was a petite and soft woman, lying on him with a lazy smile.

The two looked down at him with mocking eyes.

"You've finally arrived..."
