NOVEL NEXT It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?
Chapter 64 Can't, at least shouldn't
Chapter 64 Can't, at least shouldn't
Looking at Tang Shuang's back, Xu Shi couldn't help laughing.
It seems that she leaves her office like this every time.
Compared with the strong support when we first met, although she looked a lot more natural this time, she also seemed a lot out of control.
Xu Shi couldn't help being curious, this wasn't like her usual style, and it was also different from the annoyance she felt when she was in prison last time... What's going on?
...Could it be because of the complication of the ability?
Realizing this, Xu Shi's expression was a bit strange - he still knew Tang Shuang's symptoms, and it was really annoying when it happened.
In his opinion, the complication of Tang Shuang's ability in the original book was purely designed to give Shen He a p...cough, to enhance his relationship. So you come and help me" means in it.
But he didn't expect that he had already become a special side dish for others to make peas.
Can't, or at least shouldn't.
But in any case, looking at it from another angle, isn't this a sign that she is letting go of her defenses?
In addition, during this period of time, the focus of her work has been related to her own affairs. I am afraid that Director Tang has become more and more accustomed to the role of "the captain of the outsourced security team of "Snake Ring".
Xu Shi is quite satisfied with this, who wouldn't like such a conscientious and free labor force?
She just didn't know how she would react if she found out that the killer she entrusted her to find was actually separated from her.
Opening the secret door next to him, the six-pointed star was maintaining a docile posture inside, waiting for his next instruction at any time.
"So nice."
Xu Shi smiled and patted her head.
Lin Wenhua was the one who turned the table first, so it would be unreasonable if he didn't pay back himself—including those propagandas that he personally contacted "imaginary numbers" to create momentum, everyone should point the finger at the old stuff.
By the way, he can also clean up some insects like Xu Anbang and himself who are alienated from morality, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
The so-called weakness is relative. The six-pointed star is not a threat to oneself, but it may not be to others.
And this was enough to give Lin Wenhua a headache for a while... Anyway, he couldn't explain clearly, and the only thing he could do was to find ways to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
Then I wouldn't let him get what he wanted—the goal has been achieved, and there is no need to continue the assassination.
As for Miss Hexagram, it's good to stay here quietly. Anyway, with her prosthetic transformation, she doesn't even have to worry about eating and drinking, and a tube of energy reagent can last for a long time.
This is why the six major consortiums are vigorously advocating the body modification of employees, and the bottom-level workers have to join the glorious evolution in order to save living costs.
One party gains a more efficient labor force, and the other party can work longer and earn more money. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
But her value is not limited to this, when the time is right, she still has the opportunity to continue to shine.
"You're happy too, aren't you?"
Looking at the six-pointed star in front of him, Xu Shi asked with great interest.
The other party didn't give any response, but gradually lowered his head and entered the standby mode.
Ugh.
Xu Shi sighed secretly, as if too many transformations were not a good thing, and a lot of fun of interaction was lost.
Not long after coming out of the dark room, the communication on the table rang.
After unfolding it, the caller was Xie Qingyan.
Oh?
This is... I finally couldn't bear it anymore?
Xu Shi blinked.
He was very confident that Xie Qingyan's private investigation would not yield any results—after all, if Luo Zhikang was not counted, only she and Jiang Chengcheng knew about the "Over Limit Project".
Su Lin could be added at most, even Gu Yi, who passed on the microphone, didn't know anything about it.
Under such circumstances, she must take the initiative to find him.
Not to mention that I picked her addiction, the nature of this bad woman is also the same. If there is a date or not, at least hit three shots first, but she will never let go of any potential opportunities.
It just so happened that she was almost hanging out... Thinking of this, Xu Shi leisurely connected the communication one second before it was automatically cut off.
"Hey?"
"...Not busy this time? Don't you need someone else to answer the phone for you?"
The other side was silent for a while before they responded, "I'm afraid I'll disturb your elegant mood again, my good fiancé."
It could be seen that Xie Qingyan was still brooding over what happened last time, with a strange tone in his tone.
"You didn't bother me before, but it made me more excited."
Xu Shi teased, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, my good fiancee."
"...Let's get down to business."
Xie Qingyan felt that he had punched the cotton, and changed the subject resentfully to get straight to the point, "Do you really have something worth cooperating with? If there is, why don't you talk about it in detail?"
To be honest, based on her understanding of Xu Shi, she didn't think that the other party could produce any real treasures.
And the relevant investigation did not find any clues, which made Xie Qingyan feel that this was just Xu Shi's casual joke.
But his recent changes cannot be ignored... After thinking about it, Xie Qingyan decided to confirm it first.
"of course."
Xu Shi didn't deny it, "But it's not easy to talk about this kind of thing in the newsletter."
"If Dong Xie is interested, come out for dinner tonight?"
Xie Dong?
He called himself Xie Dong?
There would be no problem with others calling it that, but Xie Qingyan somehow felt that it was a little out of harmony to be called that by Xu Shi.
After all, this guy used to call her Qing Yan... The sudden change of words became so formal, which made her a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't get too entangled, and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I will attend the appointment on time, and please Dong Xu not to be late."
……
At seven o'clock in the evening, in the seventeenth district, "Babylon" restaurant.
This is considered a landmark building in Night City. From the outside, it makes people feel that this place is only a short distance away from the "rust fog", and it is even vaguely shrouded by it.
But the diners inside didn't feel this way. From the specially treated floor-to-ceiling glass, there was only a sweeping view of the city of night crime.
A slow rotation system is also installed on the floor, allowing people to have a panoramic view of everything outside the window when dining.
This is also the favorite dining place for the upper class in Night City, but today it was reserved for a while, so it seemed a bit deserted.
Not long after, Xie Qingyan also came here on time—wearing a black floor-length dress with a silver-gray fur shawl, which not only showed her graceful temperament, but also made her unbelievably beautiful.
Seeing his long-lost fiancée, Xu Shi was also subconsciously taken aback.
Good guy, I know she is pretty, but I never felt so charming before.
But thinking about it carefully, the last time we met was actually a long time ago... Thinking of this, he sighed silently, then got up and smiled at the other party, "Long time no see."
His reaction also surprised Xie Qingyan, obviously he did not expect him to be so serious.
Whether it's true or not, it's still the Xu Shi in my impression.
So, after blinking her eyes, she chose to smile back.
"Well, long time no see."
