"Impossible."

Black Cat flatly refused.

He also shut down Black Room for others. Once this trend starts, how will he manage it in the future?

"Okay, can you postpone it for a while? After today is the window for the relationship to heat up, it would be a pity to waste it."

Hishikibe begged again.

"What do you guys say about this?"

Black Cat looked at Platinum Author who had recovered from their stress.

"Please, please, everything that went wrong today is the fault of the little girl alone. After the dance, I will definitely visit you to express my apology."

Hishikibe bowed to all the authors with a very sincere attitude.

Platinum Author communicated for a while and finally nodded in approval.

Although they were tossed together, the accumulated negative emotions were also wiped away. This is an effect that can only be achieved by five or six dances. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Since there was no loss, and Hishikibe's attitude towards apologizing was pretty good, Novelist would definitely apologize to them later on, and it wouldn't be wrong to give them a little slack.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, I will ask the association to postpone Novelist's Black Room for one month."

Black Cat Just go down the slope.

"Fool is so good."

Hishikibe trotted over and was about to pick Black Cat up and kiss her.

"Hey, stay away from me, woman."

Black Cat was startled, and escaped from the range of her petting with a flexible triple jump.

"Just keep talking and don't touch me. I'm not the kind of cat that takes it easy."

Black Cat said unhappily.

What does this woman think of?

He is the dignified Fool, Metropolis, the first genius writer of the cat family in history, and he is not comparable to those vulgar fans who only act coquettishly and beg for support.

"Fool Master is so stingy."

Hishikibe pouted.

"I'm stingy, I'm stingy and you've become a cover now."

Black Cat said angrily.

Not to mention how one person and one cat quarrel, here Liu Zheng and Novelist have already left the "Quill Club" club.

The moonlight spreads on the road, which is as charming as the atmosphere at this moment.

"Senior, actually"

After walking for more than a hundred meters in silence, Novelist finally couldn't help but speak.

"I know."

Liu Zheng interrupted her.

"Ah? Why?"

Novelist asked subconsciously.

Although there was an accident, she believed that there was no problem with her and Hishikibe's acting skills.

"That friend of yours showed his true colors to my performance, but his performance to you was too heavy."

Liu Zheng said lightly.

He was born an orphan and became a reporter when he grew up. His ability to observe people's emotions is much better than ordinary people.

Novelist lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I was deceived so miserably by you, should you make it up to me?"

Liu Zheng didn't embarrass her for too long and spoke straightforwardly.

"Of course, senior, you can compensate me in any way you want me to."

Novelist said immediately.

"Except for helping you get other women."

After a pause, she added.

"What are you talking about? It's as if all the people I know are lawless lunatics."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said.

Nightingale can only assist in the investigation. His acquaintances, including himself, are all very law-abiding.

"Then what does senior want me to compensate you for? It's convenient for me these days."

Novelist glanced at Liu Zheng.

It's a pity that he couldn't slip up and down and couldn't catch the hook at all.

"Can you help me cancel a wanted warrant?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"Male or female?"

Novelist asked warily.

"Male."

"Oh, senior, please tell me in detail."

Novelist relaxed a little.

"His name is Sha-chan, also known as Fire Mage or Man Who Feels Up Bears. Of course, the names on the wanted poster are not necessarily these."

"Anyway, his crime is to kill Sanitation Bureau, deputy director of the City Hall, and Councillor of the Jorden Family."

he said.

"Oh, I know who senior is talking about."

Novelist said immediately.

That incident was quite a big deal, after all, no one has dared to take action against an official of this level for many years.

If Public Security Bureau had not found out that this incident was purely accidental and the murderer did not come for the City Hall, then it would not be as simple as a wanted warrant.

At least Public Security Bureau came out in full force, Special Operations Team plowed the court to sweep holes, and from Old District to Borderlands, all the stones on the road were taken back for interrogation.

"Can that be undone?"

Liu Zheng asked expectantly.

Although Fisherman also gave a solution, firstly it is more cumbersome, and secondly he is a person from the old era after all, so the solution may not be useful.

"It's not easy to handle."

Novelist shook his head in embarrassment.

Their family has no direct powerful relationship with the Public Security Bureau, so they can ask Councillor, an acquaintance of theirs, to help find someone, but it would be a bit out of their power to directly cancel the wanted order.

The main reason is that since she decided to give up the field of short stories, her family's support for her has also decreased a lot, otherwise she would not have moved to an ordinary community like Green Laurel Garden Crazy City.

Of course, Green Laurel Garden Crazy City is not actually an ordinary community.

As far as Novelist knew, there were quite a few weirdos from major families and races living there, and she was considered to be a well-behaved person there.

"Then what if I can gain Sanitation Bureau's understanding and then weaken Jorden Family's strength?"

Liu Zheng told Novelist Fisherman's method.

"If these two points can be achieved, it is indeed possible. I will ask Renhe Public Security Bureau to communicate again, and there should be no problem."

She thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."

Liu Zheng said.

"Jorden Family, do you need my help?",

Novelist asked.

"I'll try it myself first and let you know if I can't figure it out."

"By the way, can your keyboard copy my Five Virtue Script?"

He remembered and said.

"Yes, you can, but you can copy at most a little glyph, and only one word."

"That's okay too."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Five Virtue Script should be quite helpful in evolving French Plane Tree into Phoenix. Since Si Xue does not allow it to be transferred, it can only be copied. No matter how bad the effect is, it is not good.

"Okay. Which character should I copy, senior?"

Novelist asked.

"Just use the word 'believe'."

He thought for a while and said.

French Plane Tree definitely has nothing to do with the words "virtue" and "benevolence". The word "righteousness" feels quite awkward. Only the word "faith" should still have something to do with it.

After all, it can't even tell lies, and every transaction with him can be regarded as honest.

"Okay, senior."

This time Novelist took out the keyboard from his clothes, pulled out the "Ctrl" key and the "C" key, and then pressed it on Liu Zheng's belly.

It happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.

Novelist felt the hot temperature on his abdominal muscles, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Liu Zheng Look up at the sky, the moon is really full today.

"By the way, I copied the word 'letter'. The "Dragon Clan" just now will not be overwritten, right?"

He suddenly remembered and asked.

"No, senior. "Dragon Clan" has been saved in the keyboard."

Novelist said.

"That's good."

He didn't want to suffer again.

Perhaps because it was not copying Liu Zheng's own memory, the pain of being Burn was much lighter this time.

Soon, Novelist reluctantly let go of his hand.

"That's it, senior. Just press these two buttons on the appropriate carrier and you can paste the word 'letter' on it."

She handed the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key to Liu Zheng.

"Okay, then I'll return it to you next time we meet."

"Senior, won't you let me take you back? Metropolis It's quite dangerous at night."

Novelist suggested.

"That's okay too."

He had no intention of refusing at all.

There are free bodyguards, don't ask for them for nothing.

Now he is not even fully human, so he still needs the majesty of a man.

However, Liu Zheng did not let Novelist send him directly to Restaurant, but went to Rose Street first.

As soon as Rose Street and French Plane Tree looked over, countless tree roots broke out of the ground, ready to go.

French Plane Tree is more sensitive at night than during the day.

After seeing clearly that it was Liu Zheng, it put away its roots, but its eyes were still full of vigilance.

But not to Liu Zheng, but to Novelist beside him.

"Then please wait for me here for a while."

Liu Zheng said to Novelist.

"Okay, senior."

Novelist responded obediently.

When Liu Zheng walked forward, she and French Plane Tree looked at each other through the air.

Novelist has heard of this tree, but the origin of French Plane Tree is a mystery.

Although it is said that all trees in Metropolis have the possibility of giving birth to spiritual wisdom, in fact only a few tree species have enough talent.

As for French Plane Tree, there is no record of the birth of spiritual intelligence since Metropolis was recorded.

Even according to research by scholars, they have the worst talent among all trees.

But French Plane Tree happened to be born with intelligence, and its thinking was quite lively, even close to that of humans.

If City Hall hadn't seemed to have issued some notice, it would have been captured and sectioned for study.

Novelist knows more. The reason for the birth of this tree's intelligence should be related to Chaos Club.

City Hall's attitude towards things related to Chaos Club has always been that if it is confirmed to be risky, it will be dealt with, if it is suspected to be risky, it will be blocked, and if it is judged to be non-risk, it will be observed.

The tree that gives birth to wisdom is a very rare "human resource", which is very useful whether it is to purify filth or suppress disorder.

Therefore, usually once a tree gives birth to spiritual wisdom, it will be quickly absorbed by the City Hall.

But French Plane Tree was thrown here by the City Hall, neither processed nor included, which is in line with the City Hall's principle of handling things related to Chaos Club.

Such an unstable factor has a relationship with a senior, and the relationship seems to be very close. This is obviously not a good thing.

Whether the senior was treated by the City Hall because of this, or whether she was contaminated with something strange that made her unable to swallow, it was all very bad.

It seems that we need to work harder to make senior realize that she is the only person he can rely on and form a bond with.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Novelist's mind, turning into a smile that made French Plane Tree's branches and leaves tremble.

"Idiot human being, who asked you to bring outsiders here?"

As soon as Liu Zheng approached, French Plane Tree started questioning him.

"She can't be considered an outsider. I am your friend, she is my friend, and rounding off, she is also your friend."

he said with a smile.

"Zut! Who is her friend? The way she looks at me is more vicious than a chainsaw."

French Plane Tree complained.

"Then it must be too dark and your eyesight is wrong."

Liu Zheng said perfunctorily.

"I don't care, tell that woman to leave quickly, or I will attack her."

French Plane Tree said fiercely.

Just because it's trembling, it doesn't mean it's really scared.

There aren't many things French Plane Tree is afraid of on this street.

If Tindalos Hound hadn't killed one by one, it wouldn't have been frightened by Liu Zheng using Tindalos.

"Are you sure that if she leaves, the good things will be gone?"

Liu Zheng Shi Shiran said.

"If you're not interested, just let her go."

French Plane Tree said unhappily.

Just calculate its collection by yourself, and bring a concubine with you.

What for? Think of it as a landscape tree.

"Okay, then don't say I didn't remind you when the time comes."

He said and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, what's good?"

French Plane Tree finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

"See for yourself."

Liu Zheng demonstrates the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key.

"La vache! Give it to me, give it to me!"

French Plane Tree's eyes widened, and his wooden hands stretched forward vigorously, like a drowning man trying to grab a lifeline.

"You just said you weren't interested."

He raised his eyebrows and said.

"I'm interested again now. What, do you have any objections?"

French Plane Tree glared.

A thick tree root reached below Liu Zheng, eager to try.

"No objection. Then go ahead."

He held out the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key.

"Wait a minute, tell me what you want to change first?"

French Plane Tree said vigilantly.

In terms of market value, the value of this replica of the character "" is far less than the limited edition of Vlad III. It is equivalent to two bottles of Ascension Moss at most.

But the value of the "Xin" replica is too great. If nothing else, the egg hatching time it takes to evolve into Phoenix can be shortened by more than half.

As for other benefits, French Plane Tree cannot feel it yet, but there must be many more.

Vlad III Limited Edition is just a hobby, and it comes at the price of Legendary Disguise.

So for a replica of the word "", a treasure related to life and the future, it will only pay more.

Therefore, French Plane Tree must ask clearly, lest the price exceeds its ability to bear.

"Well, I actually didn't want to change anything."

Liu Zheng spread its tentacles.

Originally, the replica of the word "" was an unexpected gain, so it didn't matter if I gave it as a tree.

"No, you have to change something!"

French Plane Tree said loudly.

What is free is the most expensive. Idiot humans dare to give it free things now, but then they must not let it cost their lives.

"Then let's keep accounts first. I really can't think of what to change for a while now."

Liu Zheng thought for a while and then said.

The matter at hand either already has corresponding props, or it is too complicated to solve with just one prop.

So it's better to keep this plan until the time comes when the need arises.

"Well, seeing as you have signed a contract with me, I reluctantly agreed."

French Plane Tree said in embarrassment, and then his expression immediately changed.

"Quick, quick, quick, put your things on my growth rings~"

It opened its mouth, revealing the bottomless black hole inside.
