Bright!

Living life made into a puppet? This is not the first time Luo Juya has heard this description.

She didn't know when she started to feel that her husband had some problems, very serious problems...

But if you think about it carefully, he has been like this from the beginning. So when did you realize that there was something wrong with your husband?

"What are you working on recently? Are you ready to make a new puppet?"

"Without good materials, there is no way to create new works of art. A puppet should not just be a puppet..."

After hearing Xiong Zemo's answer, Luo Juya was silent for a while.

"How's the work going over there? Any additional discoveries?"

Xiong Zemo shook his head slightly, rubbed the armrests of his wheelchair, and then closed his eyes.

…

On the airship, a team of elite night watchmen reported some clues to the tall Xiong Zemo.

"Sir, there are no clear findings, only conventional weapons and equipment. These should be normal trade items.

But what is strange is that we did not find coal or other fuels in the power room. Did they burn all the coal? "

"No, they don't even have a boiler, so they have no intention of burning coal," another person added.

"How did they fly here without coal? Did they use moonstone? This is too extravagant."

"Didn't Zion announce a new energy system? Maybe they used their own new energy to come here."

"New energy? That kind of thing that looks like false propaganda, how could it be possible..."

Xiong Zemo ignored the disputes among his subordinates. In his opinion, it was actually a good thing for his subordinates to have disputes. It proved that they were really doing their work seriously and were not just fools.

Xiong Zemo doesn't like gangsters. He is different from ordinary district chiefs. He is a true lighthouse executor.

"Okay, there is no need to have a meaningless argument about this kind of thing. Since there is nothing to gain, let's go back."

"yes."

…

Xiong Zemo slowly opened his eyes and took Luo Juya's hand.

"There is nothing new, but this group of people may indeed have used Zion's new energy, which is the same as the news you got."

"That should be correct. Zion's technology has improved again." Luo Juya sighed.

"But I'm also curious, where did you get such detailed information, Ju Ya?"

Facing Xiong Zemo's inquiry, Luo Juya didn't know how to express it for a while.

Things about the fateful place of Gu Yin Duo cannot be revealed.

Let's not talk about the punishment that may befall Guyin Duomu Tree, it will be very difficult for Chi Xiao and those companions who seem to be difficult to get along with.

"Sorry, Old Xiong, there's really no way to tell you about this matter. It's restricted by the rules."

Luo Juya pointed above, and Xiong Zemo also nodded slightly.

"Is it restricted by rules..."

"You won't be angry, will you?"

"Of course, in this troubled world, we are the only ones who can depend on each other."

"Old Bear."

Luo Juya knelt in front of Xiong Zemo and kissed his fingers carefully. There was some sweat on the fingertips, as well as a strong smell of engine oil left by long-term friction with sawdust and machinery.

But Luo Juya didn't care at all. She buried her head in Xiong Zemo's hand. No matter what the future holds, they will keep going like this.

"Old Bear, I will definitely find a stronger biological fruit and cure you."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Xiong Zemo stroked Luo Juya, comforting her while his eyes flashed inexplicably.

In this way, the two of them were in love for a long time. Luo Juya suddenly raised his head and said:

"The Zion member who is visiting this time is named Xu Le."

"Well, I already know about this."

"I didn't expect it to be a coincidence. Such an outstanding big shot would have the same name as the night watchman we dealt with before."

Normally, dealing with a small night watchman is not worth Luo Juya's memory.

What really impressed her was that Xu Le was able to deduce the weird formula and the secret of the Golden Light Tree from a little bit of information.

And the place where ancient music has many fates.

Such a young man, if he had not died, would have had a bright future.

It is even possible to grow into a big boss in the future.

It was a pity to deal with it, but there was no way. Xu Le knew too many things at that time, and he guessed some things that he shouldn't know.

"Your impression of Xu Le is quite profound."

"Yes." Luo Juya nodded.

"I was also deeply impressed by what happened that time." Xiong Zemo narrowed his eyes.

Luo Juya knew that he was talking about Gu Jianuo. After all, Gu Jianuo was Xiong Zemo's disciple.

For Xiong Zemo, Gu Jianuo's value is much higher than Xu Le, but unfortunately, Gu Jianuo also betrayed.

"Old Xiong, Xiaogu's matter..."

"The past is the past. Nothing can affect the relationship between us. She is dead anyway."

Hearing what Xiong Zemo said, Luo Juya buried her head in the bear's arms again, feeling a little enthusiastic.

It is a pity that her husband is disabled, so she can only keep company with puppets and use that mechanical body to satisfy herself.

She really wants to be with Xiong Zemo himself...

It was a feeling I hadn't had in many years.

"Okay, the warm things are almost over. We have other things to do. Old Xiong, I'm going to deal with the night watchman in Area B."

"Well, go ahead."

"Do you need me to push you down?" Luo Juya pointed to the stairs.

"No, I want to enjoy the breeze here by myself." Xiong Zemo said with a smile, his expression gentle and calm.

"Okay, I'm going to get busy."

Soon, Luo Juya left.

After she left, Xiong Zemo closed his eyes again and felt the breeze in the air.

Then he took out a stack of photos from his pocket.

These photos are not very clear. They were probably taken secretly from multiple angles. They were photos of Xu Le and his group when they got off the airship.

In fact, it is not considered a candid photo, because when Xu Le and others got off the airship, the lighthouse still did a lot of scene work, and there were many people taking photos, so it was not very difficult to get such photos.

In the center of the photo is Xu Le.

Then there are Wang Shu, Gu Beichen, Ai Li, and Wang Man.

Scroll through this photo, below there are other photos of the person alone.

Xiong Zemo turned over a photo of Xu Le, and Xu Le's name was clearly written on it, as well as some simple official information.

[Xu Le, Zion Councilor, 22 years old, unknown strength, is said to have developed the miraculous ancient Yinduo technology core...]

[Wang Shu, Tianrui Lifeng mercenary, 24 years old, level 3 warrior, Xu Le's personal bodyguard, Xu Le trusts him very much...]

[Gu Beichen, a warlock employed by the Red Moon Temple, 25 years old, a level 3 warlock, and his specific relationship with Xu Le is unknown...]

After looking through the photos of the three of them, Xiong Zemo suddenly smiled.

"Not one of the three people died. What a good trick."

As the real executor of the last killing, Xiong Zemo certainly remembered the appearance of the three of them, not just the three of them. In fact, Xiong Zemo remembered everyone he had killed.

These people are deeply imprinted in his mind. This is his ability.

So when he first saw the three people of Xu Le, he already knew that these three people were the three people he killed.

It was even said that he could still clearly remember those scenes.

Gu Beichen shattered into ice shards and scattered all over the ground.

Wang Shu was beheaded by him and thrown aside.

As for Xu Le, he was completely dismembered and cut into many pieces.

Even if they don't die after such a last hit, then their ability should be as simple as not being able to die normally, but also transferring damage.

What's more, Xu Le had already demonstrated his ability to transfer damage at that time.

Therefore, the abilities of these three people have a high probability of being substitutes, substitutes for death, or resurrection.

This is something worth remembering.

"When Ju Ya saw this Xu Le, I wonder if she would be shocked."

Xiong Zemo said, stood up from his wheelchair and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Although his body is thin, his steps are very stable, and it doesn't look like he has been disabled for many years.

Holding on to the handrail of the rooftop railing, Xiong Zemo felt the breeze here.

"Becoming a member of parliament! It's such a difficult status to handle..."

…

In the banquet hall of the reception hotel.

Zhou Bi pulled Xu Le, bragging about his past while introducing some very beautiful lighthouse ladies to Xu Le.

This was probably the convenience brought by his status as a member of parliament, but every time Xu Le shook hands with these ladies, he felt a murderous aura coming from behind.

Looking back at Ai Li, Xu Le could only retract his hand angrily.

I have a fierce wife at home, so there is nothing I can do.

Xu Le also talked, laughed, and boasted about Zhou Bi, a happy old man, just like a brother he hadn't seen in more than ten years.

Zhou Bi seemed to have drunk too much, but Xu Le knew very well that he was pretending.

Zhou Bi's anima energy has increased slightly, but the increase is actually very small. It should be due to some influence of alcohol.

He still maintained almost absolute calm in his heart.

Although he has always shown a squinting appearance, he has no real fluctuations at all.

This should be the quality of a social councilor.

"Brother Xu Le, I'm going to use the toilet. You eat first."

"okay."

After Zhou Bi left, Xu Le leaned on the sofa again and said calmly:

"Fake old porn."

"What about the real thing?" Alley asked from behind.

"There is no need to pretend to be a real person." Xu Le curled his lips.

Because it was just the first day of socializing, there was no need to worry about many things. After Zhou Bi came back, the two parties talked and boasted again.

Before leaving, Zhou Bi told Xu Le:

"Brother Xu Le, please restrain yourself tonight and have a good rest. I will take you to the Lighthouse Council Hall tomorrow morning."

"Lighthouse Council Hall? Where is it?"

"Ha, I knew you were curious, but I can tell you clearly now, right on the tower, be prepared!"

Zhou Bi pointed at Xu Le and showed a smile that you know.

Xu Le also smiled and nodded, ending this very pleasant conversation.

Although Zhou Bi has a purpose and represents the interest group of Lighthouse, it is undeniable that getting along with this person is not tiring and is very comfortable.

Perhaps because he was born in Xiacheng District, Zhou Bi has no arrogance. This is what makes Xu Le feel most comfortable.

Before the dinner was really over, Xu Le took the people back to the second floor of the hotel to rest.

Those lighthouse ladies were of little interest to him.

Just like Li Wen once warned him, when he has status and identity, many things will become very easy, such as women.

Xu Le originally thought he was far away from the word "rushing like birds".

But now that I think about it, it was really close.

If there wasn't a dog who acted as a doorkeeper here, those so-called lighthouse ladies would probably send several to his bed in one night.

Not just him, but even his subordinates, it’s just so outrageous.

"Fortunately, I keep myself clean." Standing by the window, Xu Le boasted.

Meow! ~Ding Ke suddenly shouted.

After arriving at the lighthouse, Ding Ke's condition seemed to be better, at least he didn't doze off all the time.

It pointed in a direction with its fat paws. Although it had not been here for a while, Xu Le could still roughly judge that that place should be the place where Xu Le reluctantly bought dried fish for the first time.

At that time, he only had 50 in his pocket and still had a lot of money to spend, but he reluctantly bought a lot of food for Ding Ke.

"Ah, I didn't know why I bought you food at that time. Did you cast a spell on me?"

Meow! ~Ding Ke licked his paws, looking like he was looking at an idiot.

"I feel like I'm not full. Or should we go out for a walk again?"

Meow?

Soon, Xu Le changed into plain clothes and put a little black hat on Ding Ke.

It was actually inappropriate to go out for food at this time, so Xu Le strengthened a wave of life-substitution techniques, and then placed the life-substitute doll in the hotel.

Then he quietly slipped out of the window.

As soon as he landed on the ground, before Xu Le could walk far, a heavy figure fell from the window next to him.

boom!

After falling to the ground, the man patted the dust on his body, turned to look around... and then saw Xu Le and Ding Ke.

Meow!

"What a coincidence, Xu Le." Gu Beichen said.

"Yes, you can meet them all here. What a coincidence. What are you here for?" Xu Le also laughed dryly.

"I need to pee. The toilet in the room is not very comfortable. How about you?"

"Oh, I'm a cat. It's old times. My cat misses this place so much. It keeps making trouble with me."

The two started talking nonsense until Wang Shu jumped down from above.

"What a coincidence!"

"Yeah yeah."

The three of them looked at each other. One looked bored, two looked embarrassed, and three of them... then they became accomplices.

"Walk?"

"Walk."

As soon as he went out, Xu Le stopped because Ai Li had already changed his clothes and was waiting here.

"Why?"

"I didn't eat anything tonight, so let's go out for some late-night snacks."

"OK."

Although the original idea of ​​traveling alone ended up being a group activity, it finally came out.

As long as he could come out and have some fun, Xu Le felt it was acceptable.

They have not been to the night market in the uptown area of ​​Beacon City, mainly because they used to be night watchmen in District B of the Lower City. A high-end, atmospheric and classy place like the Uptown District is out of their reach.

"Gu Beichen, aren't you from the city? Come lead the way and find some delicious food."

"Oh, I will show you something tonight."

Without a clear destination, the three of them began to follow Gu Beichen around the uptown area of ​​Lighthouse.

Because it was already very late, when Xu Le deliberately passed by the cat food store, the closed store also prevented Ding Ke from eating the dried fish he was longing for.

But it doesn't matter to Ding Ke, chicken legs are better.

Come to the Ninth Pedestrian Street in the city.

The noisy night market appeared in front of the four people. Gu Beichen couldn't help but introduce:

"Ninth Pedestrian Street, this is the best late-night snack spot in the whole lighthouse. Of course, there are some entertainment facilities, but the main focus here is food."

"Okay, let's go and see it together."

When we walked into the pedestrian street, although it was already 11 o'clock, looking at the shining lights, it didn't feel like night at all.

The flow of people is not too large, and it is probably like the night market in the previous life. There are many small vendors on the roadside and in the middle of the road.

All kinds of snacks and snacks are endless.

The few of them didn't gather together intentionally, and went off to look for their favorite food.

Ai Li stopped in front of a meatball shop and got a bunch of all kinds of meatballs. There were a lot of them. The boss even reminded her that a girl might not be able to finish them all.

However, after seeing that Ai Li almost took one bite at a time and ate more than a dozen skewers in a row without even a tremor of breath, he simply stopped talking.

Gu Beichen found a small wine table, prepared some private wine here, made a plate of small fish and radishes, and ate happily.

Wang Shu rarely had such a moment of relaxation. He bought some rice cakes, some meat skewers, some beer and cigarettes, and found a place to sit down.

Xu Le recognized the brand of the cigarette. It was the kind Bai Jing had smoked. Maybe he wanted to miss the captain's aura.

When it comes to Xu Le, it's much more complicated. He buys some from almost every store he likes.

He wants to eat, and Ding Ke also wants to eat, and after his physical fitness has improved, his food intake has also made great progress.

After walking around for a while, Xu Le spent more than 300 yuan.

This cost does not sound high, but it is compared to Zion.

In Dangtaoxiacheng District, there are plenty of people doing it with a salary of 25 cents, which is outrageous.

Ding Ke was lying on the ground, eating all kinds of chicken legs and meat that Xu Le bought for him, and drinking Happy Fat House water.

He was also squatting on the ground, eating skewers and looking at the tall tower not far away.

Standing in this position, they were very close to the tower.

"It looks like it's wrapped in cement. I don't know what it looks like on top."

Perhaps after hearing Xu Le's whisper, the shop owner next to him said:

"Young man, are you here for a trip? Ha, there is an observation deck on the top of the tower, but the ticket is a bit expensive. It costs 240. In fact, there is nothing on it.

But when traveling to a lighthouse, it would be a pity not to go to the top of the tower. After all, it is the iconic building here, don’t you think? "

The store owner is very talkative, maybe because business is not very good.

"What the boss said is true. Now that we have come to Lighthouse City, it would be a pity if we didn't go to the tower and see what's on top..."

The shop owner didn't know that the top of the tower he was talking about was completely different from the top of the tower that Xu Le said.

While the two were talking, Ding Ke also raised his head and looked at the tower, his eyes fascinated.

Reflected in the moonlight, Dingke's cat-like eyes gradually recovered and turned into a human-like appearance.

After not speaking for a long time, she suddenly said to Xu Le:

"I stole something in there."

Xu Le:?

Shop owner:? ? ?

"Hey, this guest, was your cat just now?"

Obviously, the store owner heard Ding Ke speak, and Xu Le was a little speechless. Ding Ke hadn't spoken for a long time.

This time it was really sudden. He quickly picked up Ding Ke and put it on his shoulders, then paid and left, leaving a lot of garbage behind very rudely.

Although the store owner was very curious, after seeing so much garbage left by Xu Le, he still cursed and said:

"Thankfully, I was kind enough to tell him that the tickets to the tower were very expensive, but this guy just left without taking away the trash. Foreigners just don't have the quality."

Although the boss was cursing, he quickly picked up the garbage on the floor.

Until he saw a few brand new 10-yuan notes in the garbage, he who had been forcing Lai Lai to shut up immediately.

"Outlanders are rich! Looking at his appearance, he must be a wealthy man from Zion."

The supper lasted for a long time, and after several people had eaten and drank, they gathered again at the street corner.

They still have no plans to go back.

"Would you like to go back to Xiacheng District to have a look?" Xu Le suddenly asked.

"Isn't it a little unsafe to leave the upper city area?" Ai Li hesitated.

Of course it's okay to go out for a little indulgence and have something to eat.

But if you want to go to Xiacheng District...

Alley didn't know much about the lighthouse, but he had heard about the situation in the city below the lighthouse.

That place is synonymous with mess.

Alley does not despise poverty, because there will be poverty in Zion, but poverty is also different.

Zion's poverty can see hope, so those people only have enthusiasm and hard work in their eyes.

But the poor people in the lower town on the Beacon side only saw despair in their eyes.

When desperate people gather together, worse things tend to happen.

Especially in the past few times, the lighthouse's Kuroshio defense has not gone smoothly. The pressure on the entire city's anima has increased sharply, and problems have arisen in daily city defense and the like.

After all, Xu Le is a member of the First City Council. Going to Xiacheng District at this time is really a bit risky.

"I want to go see our captain. My schedule on weekdays is too full. If I don't go tonight, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future."

When Xu Le said this, Wang Shu and Gu Beichen also stared at Ai Li seriously.

Ai Li heard Xu Le say something about Bai Jing. As a soldier, she naturally understood this feeling.

"All right."

After making a decision, the group rushed towards the Lower City.

The moat bridge couldn't stop a few people at all, but what they didn't know was that when they rushed to the Night Watch Monument, another group of people came here.

Luo Juya, and the new Sixth Team of the Night Watch.

"Mrs. Ju Ya, we're here."

"Let's go. Before taking action, we should pay homage to the martyrs of the past."

"yes."
