"Evening City? No. 27 Humanitarian Care Sanatorium?"
After hearing Bai Zhou's thoughts, Crow couldn't help but frown, and then nodded.
"What you think makes sense."
"It is true that we cannot rule out the possibility that this matter is related to Blood Worship Cult."
Ya analyzed softly, with a hoarse and serious voice that echoed in the empty toilet, "After all, if there is anything special about you, there is no doubt that Blood Worship Cult and Evening City cannot be avoided."
, it's worth exploring there."
Crow's voice was decisive, then paused slightly.
"Of course----"
"We can't rule out the possibility that it's just the two of us who are hallucinating."
Crow shook his head again. "After all, it is easier to deceive the two of us than to erase the existence of Luo Tunan from the world and distort the world's perception!"
"I never want to face a mouthful of B-Class Black Box."
"I have a question." Bai Zhou asked.
"What?"
"The person behind the scenes is so aggressively fighting against the world's perception just to erase the traces of a dead Luo Tunan?"
Bai Zhou is puzzled, "What is he doing for?"
"Maybe it's the other way around?" Ya Suran said, "If there is some conspiracy that requires erasing the existence of Luo Tunan as a condition for launching it, is his disappearance just incidental?"
"The real goal is either this city, or the more ambitious one is the whole world, or----"
Ya Youyou said, "Are you the special person who was left out?"
Bai Zhou shuddered.
"Of course, there is also a possibility--"
"Someone distorted our cognition and implanted a person named Luo Tunan in our minds, but this person never actually existed, thereby achieving a certain purpose at the Mysticism level."
Once this happens, it means that the person knows my existence, at least the effect of Ritual has affected me, which is quite interesting."
Crow looked at Bai Zhou quietly, "I personally hope that this is possible, so at least I don't have to face anything B-Class Black Box"
"But again, you need to verify and rule out this possibility first."
"I hope so too." Bai Zhou pursed her lips.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Zhou communicated with the crow through Ritual of "Heart-to-Heart Connection" from the bottom of his heart.
When walking out of the toilet, Bai Zhou's heart moved, and he asked girl in the windbreaker next to him, "What if someone really used B-Class Black Box to erase the existence of Major Luo, and let him finally succeed in some unknown conspiracy--what would be the result?"
"The worst result might be that we, along with Tinghai, are wiped from this world." Crow shook his head.
"Because if B-Class Black Box is really causing chaos, the scope of its impact will definitely be huge, and it won't be as simple as just the death of a few people."
66
On the bright side, at least there will be someone to bury him with."
" In the Federation era, a city suddenly and silently disappeared on the earth, and the city's thousands of years of civilization came to an abrupt end----
, "Although there are not many such things, it is not impossible."
Crow said calmly, "Anyway, after Tianjing finds out, he will come to clean up the mess and prevent the situation from spreading."
Bai Zhou's pupils shrank. "Don't people in other cities panic?"
"No." Crow shook his head.
"Did you hear anything in Tinghai about cities other than Tianjing?"
"----It seems not?" Bai Zhou thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case.
"There are tens of millions of people in a Tinghai Metropolitan Area, but outside the urban area, in the wilderness where Flame of Civilization cannot shine, no human trace can penetrate deep into it."
"It is the tracks and trains that connect cities, forming the foundation of Federation."
Crow explained, "But for the people of Ordinary, in their concept, unless they go to Tianjing, Tinghai University is almost the best university. They were born in Tinghai and grew up in Tinghai, and their descendants are all thriving on this land."
"They will subconsciously ignore the existence of other cities, and Authorities will also deliberately guide them in this direction - because in the Federation era, cities are highly independent and almost autonomous. Everyone does not care about the outside cities, and there is no news about them."
"In other words, even if Tinghai is really destroyed, Ordinary people in other cities will not know what happened here across the distant wilderness."
Bai Zhou felt a knot in his heart. Crow's words reminded him of the words Major Luo mentioned before he died:
[Blue Star East-West Federation are opposed to each other, each city within Federation operates on its own, Tianjing monopolizes resources alone, and it is difficult to move in the wild except for special trains----]
[Such humans will only endlessly waste energy and resources in internal fighting - the only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans will not learn lessons from history!]
Even Major Luo can't stand the situation, which shows how serious the thick barriers between each city are.
A strong sense of crisis came over Bai Zhou. Although he had long realized that Authorities was not that reliable, it now seemed that Authorities was indeed unable to complete the final rescue.
-When Federation can afford the cost of destroying a city, then the city is often really likely to be destroyed.
"Mystic World disasters are like earthquakes. It is difficult for people to predict when the earthquake will come, and no one knows how much impact the earthquake will have."
Crow said, "Of course, in fact, Tianjing has instruments like seismographs, and there are powerful astrologers sitting in the corresponding departments."
"When the city is about to encounter a devastating crisis, the [Emergency Response System] will be activated, and Tianjing will issue an early warning to the city and dispatch corresponding reinforcements."
Said, Ya looked at Bai Zhou: "From this point of view, you don't need to be too nervous, because the manpower used by Authorities organization to maintain stability in the city is by no means the main force."
"The people you see now are just the tip of the iceberg. Most of Tinghai's real top leaders are actually on the battlefield."
"If there is really an early warning from Tianjing, then these main forces will be transferred back from the battlefield to carry out their most familiar work of guarding the survival of urban civilization."
Crow said, "So, if the sky falls, there will actually be many tall people to stop it."
Battlefield----?
The most familiar job, guarding the survival of urban civilization?
Bai Zhou's expression was slightly startled.
This was the first time he heard this concept, but when he heard it, he surprisingly didn't find it strange.
Because every time he met those so-called big shots for the first time, including Elder Wu, Sword Bearer's Chief Instructor Shi, and Elder Song, almost without exception, they were all dressed in dirty clothes and some were injured.
Now that I think about it, they are the senior officials of Authorities who were temporarily transferred from the "battlefield" to deal with the incident caused by Major Luo.
The doubts Bai Zhou had in the past were answered at this moment.
However, in this era, what other battlefields are there?
One exists on the battlefield of Mystic World?
"Having said that, when Tianjing discovers this situation, it means that the creator of the crisis has found the definite one from the countless possibilities of fate, and is only one or two steps away from success."
Crow said seriously, "The situation at this time is too urgent. The city has entered a critical moment of life and death. Life and death have become a 50-50 unknown. It depends on whether Authorities's troops can complete the final defense of the city.
"Generally speaking, Authorities will be the successful one, but it often also suffers heavy losses."
"At least, as far as I know." Crow recalled, "In history, in the past five hundred years, Tinghai has experienced five to seven major crises involving the entire city's civilization - but in the end they barely survived."
--This time, perhaps it is the eighth crisis."
Is it 50/50?
Bai Zhou pondered.
There is a crisis of city annihilation that occurs less than once in a century, and there is still an unknown battlefield----
It turns out that all along, Authorities has also undertaken so many tasks that Ordinary extraordinary people don't know about.
Therefore, Authorities, which was already very unreliable in his mind, now has its rating slightly raised----
It probably becomes a quantum state, somewhere between reliable and unreliable.
Although Bai Zhou actually never trusted Authorities, he only believed in the sword in his hand.
"If we don't know anything, we can continue to live our current lives with peace of mind. When the crisis comes, the senior officials of Authorities who have returned from the battlefield will naturally fight and sacrifice for the survival of this city's civilization, doing what they have always done on the battlefield."
"And the general public, including ordinary extraordinary people, should still eat and sleep, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow."
-Always."
"Ordinary people don't know whether there was an extraordinary fight in front of their home last night that almost blew up their home."
"And most extraordinary people will not know whether this city experienced a devastating crisis last night. In the face of a crisis of that level, most extraordinary people's right to know will not be any different from that of Ordinary people."
"Ignorance is a blessing, and the more you know, the more it's a curse." Crow sighed, "It's always like this.
"In the final analysis----"
"Da!" Crow's footsteps stopped in the corridor of the Ordinance Hall, attracting Bai Zhou to stop and turn his head.
"There's something you shouldn't know now----
Crow lowered his head slightly and looked at Bai Zhou seriously. "No matter how big a person you are, all Destined Ones walking in Mystic World will eventually face the same destiny and proposition."
"--The survival of civilization."
"Survival or destruction, for Destined One people, is a question that must be considered all the time."
"All Destined One, almost without exception, will face this problem in the end, and then choose whether to fight for the survival of civilization."
"Many people even directly believe that this is Destined One's Manifest Destiny."
A Destined One's Manifest Destiny!
The survival of civilization? Survival and destruction?
This sudden proposition seemed too grand, and Bai Zhou, who was caught off guard, was not mentally prepared.
"Let's get down to business, let's get back to the current topic, the survival of the city Tinghai----"
"This heavy proposition may have fallen on both of us unintentionally - or, in other words, on your head."
Crow looked at Bai Zhou seriously, "Now, you have two choices."
"One is to let nature take its course, live a normal life, wait for the moment when the crisis breaks out, wait for the Authorities group of senior executives to return, and let them hold up the sky that should be held up by tall enough people like them."
"One is that you need to take action now, find a way to find out the truth, and then in turn convince Authorities to take action in advance to put out the crisis."
Of course, no matter which one it is, the question itself, I would say it is only about your own life and death."
Crow looked into Bai Zhou's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "I never ask you to do anything Savior, because that would be too tiring and you are too weak."
These are things that you should not be responsible for!"
"Actually, I feel the same way myself----" Bai Zhou turned his head and avoided Crow's sight.
Looking up at the ceiling above his head, Bai Zhou stepped forward, and his footsteps alone sounded in the corridor.
"I never thought about doing anything Savior, Tinghai has nothing to do with me - it's always been like this."
"But the problem is, Major Luo caused me trouble before, so I have to settle the score with him."
"--It's the same now."
Bai Zhou shook his head, "Ignorance is bliss. It would be great if I didn't know anything - I would think so myself."
"But now, this Daydream that everyone is doing has missed the two of us - I don't think this is a coincidence."
"The person standing behind the scenes, is the target the city, me, or - you?"
Bai Zhou squinted his eyes, and a crescent moon seemed to rise slowly from the depths of his eyes.
-These are all unknowns."
"You can't have a gun pointed at your head and just sit back and wait for death."
"If their target is really me, or even you, Crow"
Bai Zhou Take a deep breath.
If so.
That means that the fog on Crow will finally appear as the tip of the iceberg in front of Bai Zhou.
Just like Crow had worried about when he first met -
The world behind her will involve Bai Zhou, and any pressure can break people to pieces.
This is the equivalent exchange of fate.
But for today, Bai Zhou has also been mentally prepared.
If there is really no way out, then at least look at the person who is pretending to be a ghost.
What is destiny?
Red-White Horse Saber will speak for Bai Zhou.
When I returned to Archives Room, the previous secretary was still here, waiting for me for a long time.
Seeing the return of Bai Zhou, his mental state seemed to be much better than before. The secretary was obviously relieved, and his caring and worried eyes were lessened.
Then, in the extremely dim light of Archives Room, the secretary carefully considered his tone and said to Bai Zhou, "A big shot has heard about your situation and is very interested in it."
, Now, she wants to meet you."
"----Big shot?" Bai Zhou raised his eyebrows.
Ordinance Hall Ordinance Envoy's number one secretary is the secretary next to Ordinance Envoy, but in other places he is very powerful.
When Archives Room came to Archives Room, Archives Room's confidential director was very obedient to the secretary, but Bai Zhou could see clearly.
--
A person who can be called a big shot----
Who is it?
The secretary was followed by two attendants, walking through the long corridor, and they led Bai Zhou to where the "big shot" was.
A completely white room with dazzling light comes into view.
Bai Zhou was planning his next move. As soon as he saw the furnishings in the room, alarm bells started ringing in his heart, and the cells in his body started to howl loudly.
"What is this----?"
In the empty room, a scarlet cross totem hung on the white wall with unknown meaning, corrosive bubbles evaporated from the transparent vessels, and pale human organs floated in the formalin tank.
Even on the experimental table in the center, there is a poor white mouse chained and fixed, with squeaking hair all over its body, and the double-cylindrical reflective Forbidden Object is facing it to plot mischief.
Ill Omen, it's very Ill Omen.
Everything made Bai Zhou incomprehensible and shuddered at the same time. It felt like he had arrived at the cabin in the forest where Witch cooked the crucible in a fairy tale.
--
Bai Zhou was wondering why there was no owner in the empty room, when suddenly there was a sudden explosion in his ears, a loud noise that shook the air, and the wall beside him suddenly cracked from the middle without any warning.
"Boom-!!!"
Then, large clouds of thick smoke emerged from the cracks, quickly covering the entire room, and a piercing alarm sounded instantly.
"Where did it explode?"
"Who threw the smoke bomb!"
The entourage and secretaries who suspected it was a "terrorist attack" immediately came to Great Enemy, looking around with guns in their hands but with blank eyes.
"Cough! Cough cough cough cough!"
The few people who could not see anything clearly were choked by the acrid thick smoke and couldn't make a sound. They could only cough desperately and vaguely heard footsteps.
"The waterless experiment failed because all the instruments were washed in advance - it turns out there really is someone as stupid as me, damn it!"
Cursingly's voice, accompanied by footsteps from far to near, gradually came from the depths of the thick smoke, the blurry figure of the speaker.
So this place seems to be connected to a certain secret room, and someone or something ran out of the secret room behind the cracked wall.
Bai Zhou raised his head and looked over, vaguely seeing the outline of the person coming, and couldn't help but blink twice.
At first glance, I thought it was a skeleton haunting the depths of the smoke, but upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a more terrifying and incomprehensible "creature".
"This is----the big shot who wants to see me?" Bai Zhou looked confused.
On the expressionless dark face, a pair of large, abruptly protruding glass eyes flashed with strange light. The nose that reflected the dark metal light looked like a giant raised pig's nose, and there were two twisted spiral hoses arranged symmetrically around the nose.
-As seen by Bai Zhou.
The devil in the smoke, wearing a pale robe, slowly walked toward Bai Zhou and the others, accompanied by the flowing thick smoke.
No--Bai Zhou quickly replaced "the devil in the smoke" with a more appropriate term, which was a title that Bai Zhou was relatively familiar with.
"Ah--it's Pig-Nosed Demon here!"
Bai Zhou blurted out.
"Pig-Nosed Demon", who was walking vigorously, staggered immediately when he heard the sound.
This Demon immediately stopped and looked at Bai Zhou through the smoke, his ferocious face filled with ferocious malice.
The smoke gradually dispersed, Bai Zhou blinked twice, and felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
"Doctor Jiu, hello----" The secretary looked at the visitor respectfully, hesitated to speak and at the same time relaxed his previous vigilance.
"A lot of people came suddenly - I'm sorry, there was a little problem with the experiment just now." A muffled Maiden sound came from the "Pig Nose".
"Ahem! Wait for me to take off Gas Mask----"
"This is the Bai Zhou, Tinghai City young saint-slayer and demon-slayer you want to see." The secretary stated his intention and turned sideways to let out Bai Zhou.
"Are you Bai Zhou?"
While talking, the other person took off Gas Mask from his face, revealing a delicate but childish face.
Then, Maiden looked at Bai Zhou, shook Gas Mask in his hand, and said viciously to Bai Zhou: "Gas Mask is a very important thing. You should be polite to your seniors, you rude fellow!"
Senior----
From Bai Zhou's point of view, this Demon's appearance after taking off the mask is undoubtedly delicate and beautiful. According to the universal standards of Blue Star, she should be called beautiful Maiden--
Or, the word "young girl" would be more appropriate.
Her figure under the white coat is quite petite, and her delicate facial features and twin-tailed hairstyle make her look like a doll; her big eyes that do not match her delicate body shape are sparkling with curiosity, reminding people of a cat named Siamese.
She really shouldn't be in this questionable venue, but should be riding a roller coaster in a cross-string goth dress and then be turned away for safety reasons.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou never judged people by their appearance. He could clearly smell the faint smell of alcohol on the other party.
Moreover, everything he saw after entering the room was still vivid in his mind, and he knew that even if the "senior" in front of him was not "Pig-Nosed Demon", he would never be an easy character to get along with.
Boiled liquid, howling white rats, and sealed organs----
It's hard not to think of Bai Zhou as Witch.
The Witch stepmother who poisoned Bai Xue Princess, the slut who rode a broom to open the silver handkerchief, the hook-nosed witch who lived deep in the forest and burned an old crucible, and the antique dealer with wrinkles on his face who waved dried puffer fish and dried lizards - Bai Zhou has never lacked such characters in the fairy tales he has read since childhood, who are good at doing business with Demon.
Undoubtedly, she must be like this Witch. She usually seems harmless and easy-going, but when she gets serious, she can let people know what true cruelty and darkness are.
If this is Evening City, then Bai Zhou doesn't have to worry at all.
Because Black Robe Enforcement Team, who is incompatible with evil, will definitely come out in full force, pour black dog blood on the terrible Witch, and put him on a burning cross for justice!
However, this is Blue Star, and this is Witch's happy house. Even Ordinance Hall's number one secretary said she is a big shot, which shows that her methods are not something Bai Zhou can easily guess.
"Come to your senses, young man!"
Miss Witch put down his gas mask, picked up a pen and paper, and quickly approached Bai Zhou in a familiar manner, and kindly extended a small hand and waved it in front of Bai Zhou.
"Actually, it's not that I want to see you."
After the secretary and his entourage retreated, Miss Witch, or "Doctor Jiu" as the secretary and others called him, got straight to the point and motioned for Bai Zhou to sit down and speak.
Next to it was a wall with a big hole blown out. In the plaster on the ground, Bai Zhou carefully sat on a rotating high stool.
"It's those people above who are very concerned about you and worried about you."
"Savior The pressure is very huge, and you have experienced so many things in one breath recently----"
Doctor Jiu looked at Bai Zhou and winked playfully, "You know, all extraordinary people with extraordinary achievements often have mental problems in the later stages, leaving hidden dangers for the tragic ending."
Jiu's voice was crisp, but his tone was inexplicably confident and old-fashioned, with an inexplicable contrast and dissonance:
66
In addition, as the focus of Tinghai at the moment, the higher-ups are also worried that someone may have put a curse on you in order to take revenge on you."
"So, just ask me to check it for you."
"Oh----" Bai Zhou suddenly realized.
It turned out that the senior management was worried that he was under too much pressure and was suffering from mental illness.
To be honest, Bai Zhou would rather hope that he is mentally ill and that Luo Tunan would never exist.
He also thought that someone cast a curse on him, and then it was detected by Maiden in front of him, so Bai Zhou discovered that Luo Tunan was really just a imagination, and everyone was happy.
--That would be great.
It's best that this is the case.
"So, what are you going to do to me?" Bai Zhou asked.
"Just chat." Maiden, known as "Doctor Jiu", sat opposite Bai Zhou. She climbed up on the high stool and leaned back on the table, seemingly leisurely and casually.
But she couldn't reach the ground and had nowhere to rest, so her feet dangling in mid-air still made her movements and demeanor somewhat inconsistent.
"Chat?"
"Well, you can talk about anything." Jiu nodded, looking friendly, "It doesn't take long, ten minutes is enough."
On the side, Teacher Ya stood in the corner without saying a word, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, silently watching Bai Zhou talking to Doctor named Jiu.
Bai Zhou and Doctor Jiu chatted continuously. At first Bai Zhou was wary, but Doctor Jiu said that Bai Zhou could also ask her any questions and she would answer them all.
While chatting, Doctor Jiu used a ball pen to write and draw thoughtfully in the small notebook in his hand from time to time0
After chatting for a while, Bai Zhou learned that this "Doctor Jiu" might be the woman who stands at the top of the entire Tinghai medical system. She is a girl with high authority.
At present, all the humane care nursing homes established by Authorities basically rely on her support and help.
Human care nursing home?
Taking this opportunity, Bai Zhou asked about No. 27 Humanitarian Care Sanatorium.
Unexpectedly.
"No. 27?" Jiu's expression suddenly became strange.
This time, she uncharacteristically did not answer all questions, but spoke vaguely, "The situation there is a bit complicated, and the chief physician there is Doctor."
"Your fellow villagers are all there, so maybe you have asked other people about the situation there? I don't think they have any good reviews."
"But----"
Doctor Jiu shook his head, "Sometimes, your ears can deceive you, and so can your eyes."
Obviously, she seemed to think that Bai Zhou knew something, so after a slight pause in her voice, she deliberately added two more sentences, ""
"Although many people are afraid of it - as far as I know, your fellow villagers should be able to receive proper treatment there, and only there can they find the best peace."
Scared like a tiger? No good reviews?
Proper treatment?
Bai Zhou's heart moved, and just when he was about to taste the meaning of these words, a "tear" sound suddenly came from his ears.
"Okay, the consultation is over." Doctor Jiu pulled off the page from the small book, clicked the ball pen in his hand, and handed the page to Bai Zhou.
"So fast----?" Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment.
What had he talked about with the Doctor named Jiu in front of him?
Name? Age? Gender?
What else?
Aren't you even going to check on me?
Bai Zhou, who was doubtful, lowered his head and looked at the torn paper in his hand. There were densely written small characters on the form.
<Diagnosis certificate and risk assessment report of Nowhere Medical Group affiliated hospital regarding Bai Zhou>
[Number]:000228
[Name]: Bai Zhou [Gender]: Male [Home address (mailing address)]: None [Diagnosis history]: The patient is neatly dressed, has a slight lack of insight, slightly impaired social functions, extremely fast heartbeat, and other normal conditions.
[Diagnosis result]: Void Contamination has accumulated in the body, and the mind has been in a state of excitement for a long time. It is identified as a slight mental abnormality. It will return to normal after a few days of rest. There is no need to transfer to a mental hospital for treatment.
[Current accident risk rating]: Low.
[Signature of diagnosis and risk assessment physician]: Jiu [Seal of diagnostic institution]: Nowhere Medical Group Affiliated Hospital "Eventually----"
The diagnosis result was given just like that?
Bai Zhou blinked twice and looked at the content above thoughtfully.
So, am I really mentally ill?
Although relatively minor.
"Looking, hearing and asking, I have the ability."
Doctor Jiu looked at Bai Zhou and said in a casual tone, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you. It's normal to be mentally affected by stimulation----"
"You are a sunny and cheerful big boy."
She gave this diagnosis.
"If you have abnormal cognition recently, just relax and rest for a few days. If you still have problems, come back to me."
"You may leave now, young man."
"I don't know what happened to you, and I don't know what you saw, and I don't bother to ask more - because I'm just a Doctor, and that's not what I should ask."
"But now, with this list, no one will worry or doubt you anymore."
Jiu blinked twice at Bai Zhou, his crisp voice was like a pear soaked in juice, but he also had a mature tone that was serious and thoughtful.
"Do whatever you want to do."
She said, "Good luck to you, young man."
Not long after, Bai Zhou took the secretary's car back to the Special Management Department.
As soon as he was ready to go back to Dormitory, he packed his luggage.
Now that the "Elder Wu" controversy has subsided in the eyes of everyone, he can move around freely.
We have signed a contract with the Special Management Department as the "Designated Cooperation Unit for Special Affairs of Tinghai City". Currently, Bai Zhou is a staff member with a cover over his head, but he is also a field worker who can move around freely.
Everything that happened today was so bizarre that he decided to use his own subjective initiative.
There is no point in continuing to hide in the Special Management Department. It is like hiding in a bomb shelter in the cold winter of the end. The thin concrete can only make you shiver for two days longer than the "popsicles" outside.
"Authorities is incompetent, it seems I have to go out in person!"
At least the clues of Mastermind were found, which convinced Authorities that something was really wrong with the city, and finally completed the plan to use the help of others - Bai Zhou tentatively decided on this plan.
But.
As soon as Bai Zhou opened the door to Dormitory's room, his movements suddenly stopped.
With an unobstructed view of the Dormitory space, the windows are open and the curtains are blown by the wind, fluttering lightly.
But Bai Zhou clearly remembered that he closed the doors and windows when he left.
-Someone has been here.
outsider.
The figure slid into the room silently, and at some point he had grasped the Red-White Horse Saber in his palm. Bai Zhou did not rush to turn on the light, but closed his eyes and activated the instinct "Scarlet Senses" gained from Jurassic.
The field of vision changed, the world in front of him faded to gray, chaotic murmurs kept coming from his ears, and only a few blood-red traces shone clearly in his field of vision.
A string of blood-red footprints extended from the window, bypassed the living room, and led all the way to the bathroom.
There is no trace of leaving.
In other words -
That person is still here, hiding in the bathroom.
This discovery made Bai Zhou hold the knife tightly.
Who is so bold and dares to do this in the Special Management Department? It feels like using a toy gun to rob a cash transport truck, which is ridiculous and crazy.
Such an unscrupulous style made Bai Zhou think of Mastermind in this incident.
Could it be that he has already come to your door?
But Bai Zhou and Life and Death Intuition did not send any warning of crisis.
The aura fed back by Scarlet Senses did not have any murderous intent. According to his perception, what was hiding in the bathroom did not look like a dangerous uninvited guest, but rather like a completely harmless stray cat or dog hiding in the bathroom and shivering.
Next.
A loud "bang" sound -
Bai Zhou kicked the bathroom door open, and at the same time stepped back cautiously with a saber in hand, pointing the tip of the saber toward the misty interior of the bathroom.
"Who!" Bai Zhou shouted.
Everything in the bathroom came into Bai Zhou's eyes at a glance. The white gauze surrounding the bathtub was lifted by the wind pressure caused by the broken door.
The bathtub was filled with water at some point, and someone was hiding in the water.
I heard the voice of Bai Zhou and heard a "crash"--
The mysterious visitor hiding in the water in the bathtub finally poked his head out of the water, with wet hair sticking to his face, and a crooked Little Yellow Duck on his head.
"Clatter----"
Then, the man stood up from the bathtub, even standing at attention.
The camouflage military training uniform was soaked and clinging tightly to his body. His long hair dripping with water was hanging down. He looked as embarrassed as if he had just been caught in a heavy rain.
He is a "soldier" with a bitter expression.
--Private Fang Xiaoxia.
The moment he saw the person's face clearly, Bai Zhou was immediately dumbfounded.
"Fang Xiaoxia? Why are you here!" He couldn't help but ask.
"Shouldn't you----"
Bai Zhou recalled the whereabouts of Fang Xiaoxia, "Aren't you supposed to be receiving training from the Special Management Department?!"
As a girl who has experienced a mysterious incident and is homeless - for the sake of Bai Zhou, Authorities arranged for her to join Special Management Department. Once she has passed the new employee training, she can directly join the Special Management Department Logistics Department.
The harvest will be guaranteed despite droughts and floods in the future, the treatment is excellent, and the risk of staying in the logistics department is not too high.
Frankly speaking, this is the best arrangement for Fang Xiaoxia.
You can tell from the way Fang Xiaoxia never forgets to stand at attention and her shoulders are no longer slouched—she must have been training a lot these days.
But now----?
Fang Xiaoxia, who had not seen him for a few days, was standing in the bathtub of Bai Zhou, looking like a bereaved dog that had fallen into the water. He was in a miserable state, with no trace of expression in his drooping eyebrows.
The moment he saw Bai Zhou, Maiden's eyes suddenly lit up, but soon dimmed again, turning into a kind of wet grievance.
Obviously, she hid in the bathtub just to find Bai Zhou.
But when she really saw Bai Zhou, she looked like a little girl who had done something wrong. She clenched the corners of her soaked clothes nervously with both hands, like a stray dog that had finally found its owner, whimpering and aggrieved, for fear of being driven away again by the owner who didn't want her.
One person stood frozen at the door of the bathroom, and the other person stood on top of the bathtub with Little Yellow Duck in a stunned military posture. The two of them stared at each other awkwardly for a long time.
Until--
There was a "wow" sound, and ripples appeared in the bathtub at his feet. Fang Xiaoxia pulled the corner of his clothes, coughed twice, and dryly said the first sentence, "I'm in trouble."
"----Causing trouble?" Bai Zhou's expression was startled.
He looked up and down at Fang Xiaoxia, wondering what kind of trouble could someone as easy to bully as Fang Xiaoxia cause?
Then, he heard Maiden, who was holding Little Yellow Duck in the bathtub, stammering. "Something extremely terrible happened to me."
"So I thought----Special Management Department, I might not be able to stay any longer."
To Bai Zhou's surprise, Maiden seemed to be able to read minds. Knowing that Bai Zhou was about to leave the base, he actually spoke out Bai Zhou's thoughts.
What ----
You want to leave too?
But in fact, for Fang Xiaoxia, things may not be as simple as "walking".
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will start fleeing again." She twitched her lips and tried to force out a smile, but failed, "--more serious than before."
She used "escape".
A word that is extremely familiar to both Fang Xiaoxia and Bai Zhou, but at this moment the scene changes and the characters are also misplaced0
The inexplicable sense of déjà vu almost made Bai Zhou fall into a trance.
It seems that the story of the boy Maiden that happened before is about to happen again.
"So----"
Maiden, who was standing in the bathtub, raised his head and looked at Bai Zhou timidly and waxily.
The water in the bathtub rippled, and the Little Yellow Duck above the head slid and swayed in circles.
"So, um, I just want to ask, if you have time, do you want to come with me?"
Maiden smiled at Bai Zhou, and then quickly added, "6
Of course, it's okay if you don't have time.
