"Ah?"
Liu Zheng Never expected that such a sentence would come out.
But then I thought about it, and it made sense.
After all, Si Xue can tear Five Virtues out of Phoenix and pass it on to him. Naturally, others can tear it off from him and pass it on to themselves.
Moreover, Five Virtues seems to be quite compatible with the Writers Association.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a price that satisfies you."
"Besides, I see that you can hardly bear these 'words'. If you trigger it a few more times, you may be crushed to death."
Black Cat said.
"Then I wonder which 'word' Master Fool wants?"
Liu Zheng asked.
He is indeed a little curious. Among these vested interests of Metropolis, are there any strange species that meet the standards of "Five Virtues"?
"Hmm"
After hearing his question, Black Cat fell into deep thought.
Indeed, it just made a request to buy it on impulse, without thinking carefully about whether it would be of use to it.
Although Black Cat has always considered himself to be unconventional and not in line with the mainstream views of Metropolis, to become a great author, one must have to do a lot of things.
Even if it doesn't suppress others, others will try to step on it and get to the top.
The dead souls under its hands are enough to hold a salon dance.
But to say that Black Cat can't handle it at all, that's not the case.
In Metropolis, there is still a virtue that everyone dislikes, but has to abide by.
"I want to buy your 'letter'."
Black Cat said after thinking for a moment.
In Metropolis, trustworthiness is a very serious rule.
Although City Hall has not specifically formulated regulations for this, everyone can feel the implicit restraint.
Although there are ways to circumvent promises or contracts, Black Cat's career has been advancing rapidly, so he has not resorted to those evil ways.
Therefore, it is still confident that it can withstand the word "faith".
Liu Zheng was just about to speak when the phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the phone number and his expression changed.
"Excuse me, please answer the phone."
He raised his cell phone to signal.
Black Cat expressed understanding and took the initiative to step aside.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
Liu Zheng pressed the answer button and said respectfully.
Novelist on the side saw his groveling look, and his eyes showed evil intent.
"Keep the woman next to you away, her sour smell is offending me."
Si Xue said lightly.
"Uh, okay."
Liu Zheng showed a helpless smile to Novelist, and then walked a little further away.
"Hmph, it's not a good idea to find someone to be your concubine. It's someone who was born a widow. Why, do you think your life is too long?"
Si Xue mocked.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
He did not answer Si Xue's words.
Putting aside whether Novelist is his mistress, can he live longer if he finds someone else?
Metropolis female, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"I forgot to remind you, just use those 'words'. If you dare to sell them to others, I will burn you and apply them to that Phoenix."
Si Xue said coldly.
"Uh, okay, boss."
Liu Zheng hung up the phone and wiped the non-existent cold sweat.
Although he had no intention of selling it to Black Cat, Si Xue's warning still reminded him.
It seems that "Five Virtues" is not a popular product even for Si Xue.
So, are the seals in Obsidian Pillar the private collection of Si Xue, or the accumulation of Restaurant over the years?
Liu Zheng was thinking and returned to Novelist.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Novelist asked with concern.
In fact, with her hearing, she could hear their conversation clearly, but out of respect for Liu Zheng, she deliberately did not hear it.
"It's okay, it's just a work reminder."
Liu Zheng smiled.
"Mr. Deliveryman, have you thought it through?"
Black Cat came over and asked eagerly.
"Sorry, this is the property of Restaurant. I personally have no right to sell or exchange it."
he said apologetically.
"Okay. Maybe this is a good thing."
Black Cat was disappointed for a while, but soon felt relieved again.
Although it feels that it can carry the word "faith", it actually does not have complete confidence.
After all, it just kept its word and did not do anything extraordinary to keep its word.
Black Cat Now that its career is at its peak, if Tuoda was crushed to death by the word "letter", its opponents would definitely laugh and maybe even pop champagne at its grave.
After chatting for a while, Hishikibe came over from a distance carrying a plate.
Her steps were steady and powerful, and her figure was very stable. The wine glass on the tray didn't even sway at all.
If Hishikibe replaces the gorgeous twelve-colored five-color clothes with a vest and trousers, she will indeed look like a high-end waiter.
Unfortunately, her face was frighteningly gloomy, and her pupils were still bleeding slightly, making her look more like an assassin with murderous intentions than a waiter.
"Your 'Joy Turns to Sorrow'."
Hishikibe handed the tray to Liu Zheng stiffly, his tone even stiffer than his movements.
"Thank you."
Liu Zheng said politely, and then took the wine glass from the tray.
The liquid in the wine glass is amber, and when you tilt it slightly, you can see the golden-bronze reflection.
This is the color that only a very fine distilled liquor can have.
However, many impurities suspended in the wine seriously affect the perception.
Black Cat also saw these impurities but did not raise any questions.
In other words, these impurities were not added by Hishikibe out of revenge, but were already there.
Liu Zheng held his breath and observed carefully for a while, and soon discovered the clues.
It turns out that the small black dots are not impurities, but tiny words.
"This is the exclusive wine of the 'Quill Club' club, and is only available in limited quantities to gold and above members."
Black Cat introduced.
"Then I will take advantage of the master Fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, the item introduction immediately popped up.
"Name: Joy Turns to Sorrow"
"Type: prop"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: Mental attribute +1, slightly improves resistance to mental attacks."
"Can copies be taken out: Yes"
"Note: When happiness and sadness are just dramas manipulated by others, should you cry or laugh?"
Liu Zheng stared at the note for a second, and then drank the wine in the glass.
To his surprise, the wine tasted very soft and had a hint of sweetness. It was not like distilled wine at all, but more like rice wine.
But when he was about to comment, a strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit him, making him almost unable to stand still.
Novelist seemed to have anticipated this scene and came close to help him in time.
"This wine."
Liu Zheng wanted to speak in a daze, but couldn't control his tongue at all.
The words he drank appeared before his eyes, and then began to arrange and combine automatically.
Sometimes they beat happily, sometimes they twist in pain.
When all the words were arranged and combined, a short story appeared in front of Liu Zheng.
"Three days later, facing the girl waving Cleaver, he couldn't help but think of the afternoon when his wife happily told him that she was pregnant."
Just the first sentence at the beginning captured his attention.
When Liu Zheng wanted to read the text below clearly, his consciousness was brought into a dreamland.
In the dream, he was a white-collar worker working in an advertising company and had a beautiful wife.
Compared with other husbands in Metropolis, Liu Zheng is happy.
His wife's ethnic group just moved in from outside a few decades ago. Although they have forgotten most of their memories of the outside world, their deep-rooted customs have not been completely assimilated by Metropolis.
Every day when he goes out, Liu Zheng will receive cheers from his wife.
When he gets home every day, he can eat delicious meals immediately.
When his wife told him that she was pregnant, Liu Zheng felt that he was the happiest "person" in Metropolis.
Even those First-Class Citizen cannot be as happy as him.
Because he is not fully human, giving birth is much more difficult than ordinary people.
In order to keep this hard-won child, Liu Zheng took over all the housework and even bought the vegetables after work.
Metropolis is not safe, especially for a pregnant woman.
Unfortunately, despite all precautions, accidents still happen.
One day, he forgot to bring the USB flash drive containing the PPT to work.
There will be a meeting soon, and it will definitely be too late to go back and get it.
And if something goes wrong in such an important meeting, he is likely to be fired on the spot.
Without this job, he would not be able to support his family.
In desperation, Liu Zheng could only call his wife to send the USB flash drive.
The wife happily agreed, and then there was no more news.
When he saw his wife again, she was already a broken corpse.
His eight-month-old child was tossed aside like a rat on fire.
Liu Zheng doesn't know how he maintained his sanity, but he did it.
He reported the case, and people from the Public Security Bureau came quickly, but the results of the search did not satisfy him.
For half a year, Liu Zheng will go to the Public Security Bureau every day for half a year.
However, the result is that there is no result.
Finally, he gave up the idea of relying on the Public Security Bureau to solve the case and decided to take revenge on his own.
Perhaps those superior gods sympathized with his plight, and luck was finally on his side.
Liu Zheng unexpectedly won two million in a lottery ticket he bought, which provided the initial capital for his revenge plan.
So he began to trace the whereabouts of the murderer through various channels.
This investigation lasted for thirteen years.
One night thirteen years later, an informant from Liu Zheng provided him with a piece of information.
There was a Werewolf bastard who once got drunk and boasted that he had raped and dismembered a Foxfolk pregnant woman.
And his wife is Foxfolk, and the number of people of this race is relatively rare among Metropolis.
Liu Zheng couldn't wait to find the Werewolf brat together with his informant, and then tied him to a secret safe house for interrogation.
After an interrogation that even his informants found cruel, he finally got bad news and good news.
The bad news is that Werewolf is a braggart and is not the murderer.
The good news is, it knows who the real murderer is.
And when Werewolf vaguely said the name of the real murderer with his toothless mouth, Liu Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because that was the name of his former boss.
