Pioneer Project
As Xiao Xiao stepped out of the elevator, he was immediately confronted by a dark gun barrel pressed against his face.
He was somewhat surprised, never expecting that his father, a businessman, could put on such a menacing show. He calmly walked out of the elevator. Before he even entered the room, his Eye of the Seer had already seen the entire office layout, the various menacing thugs, and a fat man in a purple Tang suit.
I also saw my father at the very back of the office, next to his wife and youngest son.
Despite having so many guns pointed at him, Xiao Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He didn't even glance at these people before walking straight forward. The people pointing guns at him were somewhat surprised and instinctively took two steps back, unsure whether to fire.
"Stand still..."
Just then, someone raised their voice and called out. It was the fat man in the Tang suit who was holding a walnut ornament in his hand.
"Old Xiao..."
He sat up from the sofa with an air of importance, first calling out "Xiao's Father," then glancing at Xiao Xiao and saying:
"This is your eldest son?"
"..."
Xiao's Father nodded repeatedly in a panic, but seemed unable to speak.
"I've never seen a father and son have such a tense argument..."
The fat man in the Tang suit walked over, glanced at Xiao Qi from head to toe, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I heard you're involved in the underworld too? Kid, I know your background. You hang out with those crazy women, right? Don't let them mess things up for you. Look at you, you've scared your dad half to death. He was hiding in the club before, too scared to come out. Now he needs me to call him and come with him even when he comes back to get something. People in the underworld have to be filial and righteous. What you're doing isn't right..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao, with a gun pointed at him, suddenly revealed a strange smile.
The smile made the thugs who were pointing guns at him feel a little scared. Why did this guy seem a little abnormal?
But Xiao Xiao genuinely found it amusing.
After experiencing countless strange and absurd things in the eyes of strangers, and even a mysterious confrontation with Hell Organization, he has now suddenly returned to the living circle of the natives. Listening to them talk to him about filial piety and loyalty, he finds it indescribably funny.
I have no intention of attacking these people, nor do I want to summon anything.
In the blink of an eye, he scanned the fat man in the Tang suit and saw his price.
400 points.
Somewhat surprised. "Wasn't this guy supposed to be a big shot on par with the Pink Rabbit?"
"Why are the points so cheap?"
"..."
He currently had over 100,000 points, so he didn't care about these 400 points at all. In addition, he had always wanted to try it out, so he silently spent 400 points to buy it.
While doing this, he also looked at the fat man in the Tang suit in front of him with great interest.
The moment the purchase was successful, it was obvious that the fat man's eyes were dazed for a moment, and the arrogance, contempt, and ferocity in his eyes completely disappeared. He stood there blankly for a long time, and then suddenly his expression became serious. He suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Xiao, his body trembling and his throat tight, as if he wanted to say something, but some words were squeezed into his throat.
He silently knelt on one knee, then suddenly switched to both knees and kowtowed heavily.
He then stood up abruptly and shouted at the men around him who were holding guns, "You bastards, put down your guns!"
"Who gave you the audacity to point a gun at Mr. Xiao?"
"..."
His subordinates around him were stunned, staring blankly at him, their minds unable to process what was happening.
They couldn't describe the scene before them; they only felt that everything was beyond their comprehension and understanding.
But behind them, Xiao's Father, sitting by the desk, suddenly cried out in terror, "Quick, fire!"
"Old Tang... Old Tang was also contaminated..."
"..."
These armed henchmen had no idea about pollution; they were just a little stunned. The fat man in the Tang suit didn't give them any time to react. He slapped them several times, forcing them to put down their guns. Then, his bulky body squeezed through the crowd, and he bowed as he led the calm-looking Xiao Xiao into the office.
He personally straightened the chair for him, wiped it with his sleeve, and invited Xiao Xiao to sit down.
"So, Butcher are indeed different..."
With his insightful abilities, Xiao Xiao sensed the changes in the fat man's thinking and attitude, "Ordinary people, even those in the underworld, will have their minds and cognitions immediately distorted after being bought. They will subconsciously treat me as the most honored person and treat me in the way that best expresses their respect and goodwill, without thinking about why they would do so."
"By the way, could I sell him back to the city later?"
"If the points remain the same, I'll buy it when I need it and resell it when I don't..."
"If we keep going back and forth like this, wouldn't we be able to keep getting things for free?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao pondered these questions, but his emotions remained hidden on his face as he simply sat down in his chair.
Slowly, he crossed one leg over the other.
Then she quietly looked at her father, silently thinking about where to begin asking him questions.
But he himself didn't realize that from the moment he appeared, he had subtly turned the fat man in the Tang suit against his will. Then, ignoring the numerous gun barrels, he silently came to the office and looked over quietly. This sight really frightened his father. A silent despair welled up in his heart. He turned around and hugged his wife and children, his face pale and his body trembling.
Why are you so afraid of me?
Just as his father looked like he was about to faint, Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke, staring intently at his father.
"I... I..."
After stammering and struggling for a while, Xiao's Father suddenly shouted, "Because you're crazy..."
"Don't you know that even now?"
"You're crazy, and you're contagious; you'll turn others crazy too..."
"..."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the fat man in the Tang suit standing silently beside Xiao Xiao, his eyes growing increasingly terrified.
Xiao Xiao frowned for a long time before looking up at him and slowly saying:
"So, how did I become this kind of madman?"
"..."
Suddenly, Xiao's Father's face turned pale, and he shut his mouth, refusing to say another word.
Xiao Xiao just stared at him, then slowly turned his head to look at the little boy being held in a woman's arms beside Xiao's Father. Without warning, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He slowly took out the silver revolver from his back waist, raised his hand and handed it to his half-brother, saying gently, "I remember you like guns, don't you? Here, take this and play with it."
The child wasn't stupid; seeing Xiao Xiao staring at him like that, his eyes showed a hint of fear.
"You..."
The woman next to him was trembling with fear, but suddenly mustered up her courage and was about to speak to Xiao Xiao.
"Bang!"
But she only uttered one word before Xiao Xiao suddenly raised his gun and fired a shot at the ceiling.
The loud noise and the falling mud debris from the ceiling silenced everyone for a long time.
In the silence, Xiao Xiao still handed the Silver Revolver in his hand to his younger brother.
"Take it and play with it."
"..."
The little boy was terrified and buried his head in his mother's arms.
Xiao's Father's breathing grew heavier and heavier. Suddenly, he snatched the Silver Revolver and pulled the trigger towards Xiao Xiao.
But after several empty "clicks," no bullets flew out of the gun.
This gun dared not fire a bullet that could harm Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at his father with an extremely calm expression, but his eyes were becoming increasingly empty.
He reached for the gun, pulled the trigger towards the ceiling, and another incredibly powerful bullet was fired.
"This gun dares not kill me, it only dares to kill others for me..."
"..."
He looked at Xiao's Father's face and said those words seriously, while slowly lowering his pistol as if he were about to aim it at someone.
Finally, at this moment, Xiao's Father's expression suddenly collapsed.
As if some taut muscle in his body had snapped, he felt completely broken, even his eyes looked so weak. He stood up listlessly and said to Xiao Xiao, "Don't... don't hurt your brother, I... I'll tell you everything."
As he spoke, he glanced listlessly at the others in the office.
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Xiao Xiao immediately understood his thoughts, so he nodded and said, "Everyone else, go out and don't disturb us."
The fat man in the Tang suit immediately sprang into action, giving a few hand signals to his men. After even glancing at Xiao Xiao, he grabbed the mother and son, dragged them out of the office, and then stood guard faithfully outside the door. In the large office, only Xiao Xiao and his father remained, the atmosphere oppressive and silent, as if a chilling blade was scraping across the skin.
Xiao Xiao only asked with his eyes, without asking any specific questions.
"You..."
It seemed like Xiao's Father was using all his strength to say, "When you were in high school, you said you had a terrible headache..."
Xiao Xiao nodded, indicating that he was listening.
But Xiao's Father, as if in a fit of pique, suddenly blurted it all out. "I know the reason."
"So the place your mother and I took you for a checkup wasn't a real hospital, but a secret facility in the Black Forest. I also know that at that time, you weren't really having a headache, but rather because, before that, you had been chosen by someone..."
"Unknowingly, I joined... a plan."
"..."
Xiao Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and he slowly asked, "What plan?"
Xiao's Father's lips trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look Xiao Xiao in the eye, feeling somewhat guilty. "The Black Forest... Pioneer Project!"
