Enforcer's Handbook

Onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon star anise, light soy sauce, and top-quality beef brisket, as long as there is a word of "nothingness", the chamber of commerce will prepare everything.

On the top floor of the high-end apartment in Oasis, standing by the window, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city. The comprehensive temperature adjustment system makes Song Lan feel that he has finally returned to the modern society, and he no longer has to experience the wind and sun like in Lute City. The dry environment of the desert made his lips a lot of skin.

"His craftsmanship is top-notch, much better than the chefs of high-end restaurants invited by the chamber of commerce."

"Nothingness" sat on the spacious sofa, chatting with the guests.

After the meeting, "Mouse" and Ashe naturally followed their footsteps and entered the door all the way.

Everything seemed so harmonious and natural that Song Lan never had the nerve to ask the question in his mind - who invited you?

He seriously suspected that "Mouse" had learned his skills secretly. He obviously hadn't met him a few times, but he tried his best to create an atmosphere of "we're all buddies" when they met. Mouse" became one of Song Lan's best friends.

A mere wealth management product!

The knife was clean and neat, and the beef brisket on the cutting board was cut into neat small pieces. Hearing the movement from the kitchen, "Mouse" instinctively shrank his neck.

He always thought that Lu Xiang might be the most dangerous person in the world, and Song Lan, who had been by her side all the time, was definitely a ruthless character, but due to the situation, the leaders above ordered them to maintain this layer. It doesn't matter, he has to break into this dragon's pool and tiger's lair even if he doesn't want to.

Compared with the nervous "mouse", Ashe is much calmer.

She asked curiously, "Is the outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop also a supporting facility of the apartment?"

In fact, she had coveted this high-end apartment for a long time before she came to the oasis. Unfortunately, the rebels are different from the rich coalition government. The limited funds must be used wisely. The life of the cadres is very simple, and they came to the capital. After that, they didn't have a big house to live in, and all of them were stationed in the slums of Rila.

Every city has a place like this.

The unemployed and criminals are entrenched here, and the crime rate is frighteningly high. It is a place that locals absolutely do not want to touch.

The only upside is that, as long as you can survive there, the cost of living is also surprisingly low.

Even in a prosperous city like Lila, the Brotherhood needed a place to dispose of its "garbage".

"It should be, the top floor is the property of the chamber of commerce."

"Nothingness" spread his hands on the sofa, wearing a suit provided by the chamber of commerce, and crossed his legs. He looked like a rich and powerful boss, "If you are interested, you can go up to experience it later, except for the swimming pool. , as well as facilities such as indoor hot springs and saunas.”

"Please try it out!"

Before Ashe answered, all the members of the "Dead Man's Lotto" program group were ready to move.

Ashe (swimsuit only), is this something normal people can see?

Ai Xi just pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't respond positively, "I didn't expect Mr. Song Lan to be good at cooking, it's really hidden."

"I don't know where he learned this ability, obviously we were at the same level before."

"Void" has always known that his cooking skills are not good. He will never forget that when he and Song Lan were in the upper world, he and Song Lan made some handmade desserts for their old friends. The image of holding your breath, frowning and swallowing reluctantly.

But now, Song Lan has betrayed the organization, secretly maxed out the skill of cooking alone.

Not long after, several bowls of braised beef came to the table, and the eyes of "Nothingness" lit up.

This is what he wants.

Archaeologists, fraternities, and even gene masters are mere scraps compared to braised beef noodles.

Not long after, the "mouse" who had been nervous all the time discovered the clues in the beef noodles.

He looked around for a long time, convinced that this was not an illusion.

His noodle bowl is the largest, about a third more than others, and the beef in it is three to five yuan more than others.

Even "Old Xu", who is known as Song Lan's best friend, didn't enjoy such treatment.

In fact, they don't know the real identity of "Old Xu", they can only judge from his conversation that he has a close relationship with the largest chamber of commerce in the neutral country. After meeting him, he asked others to call him Lao Xu in his self introduction. up.

"Chief Song, this is..."

This sentence could not be said after all.

Because when the "mouse" turned his head, he saw Song Lan holding a kitchen knife, and the sharp blade seemed to be stained with some minced meat.

He just felt goosebumps all over his body.

"When you are still growing, eat more."

Song Lan said in a gentle tone.

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat more grass. As the most important financial product he currently has on hand, Mr. "Mouse" has to feed him fat and fat.

In this way, when one day in the future, Mr. "Mouse" has eaten and drank what should be eaten, and it must be a worthwhile trip.

"Okay, okay."

"Mouse" trembled for a moment, and he didn't even dare to refute the setting of "long body" which obviously didn't fit his age and identity.

He ate the noodles with his head down, the plump and juicy beef was throbbing on his taste buds. For him who was used to eating cheap synthetic food, the taste was astonishing.

tasty,

Eat well and go on the road.

For some reason, another thought popped into his mind.

"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz—"

Before Song Lan could move his chopsticks, Lu Xiang's text message from Chagang arrived.

Perhaps only telepathy could explain the tacit understanding between them. Director Lu, who was far away in the 17th District, sensed that it was lunch time, and ordered Song Lan to take a photo of their lunch and send it over as soon as possible.

"Potato! You put potatoes in braised beef noodles! ! ! 』

This series of exclamation points is enough to reflect Lu Xiang's mood at the moment.

Then she sent a separate new message.

"(╥╯^╰╥)"

"what happened? 』

"The family was attacked by a night heron! 』

The fourth district and the trip back to school distracted her too much. It wasn't until after returning home that Lu Xiang realized that he had made a serious mistake-they left Yelu at home alone for a week.

Little Yelu gave full play to her ability to rummage boxes and cabinets. When Song Lan and Lu Xiang were not at home, no one reminded her not to overeat, so she ate all the food reserves she could find. When she got home, even the big bags of raw rice had been eaten.

As for the snacks and snacks she hid, she couldn't even find the packaging bags.

"I'm looking at plum blossoms to quench my thirst. 』

On the second day when Song Lan was not at home, Lu Xiang felt a little overwhelmed with food and tea.

She sat face to face with Ye Lu, holding a piece of white bread sent from the core city in her hand, and then sent the screenshot of the braised beef noodle sent by Song Lan to the tablet, enlarged it to full screen, and pretended that she was also eating braised beef noodle.

Little Yelu's eyeballs kept rolling, and Lu Xiang had no doubt that if she was not paying attention, there would be a fresh tooth mark on the tablet.

Experiments have proved that the method of looking at plums to quench thirst is useless. After discovering the potatoes in the beef noodles, Lu Xiang became even more greedy.

Lu Xiang, you have to be patient.

Don't lose your appetite.

She ate the last slice of white bread and reluctantly turned off the tablet.

After eliminating the interference from braised beef noodles and potatoes, she finally remembered that she sent Song Lan a message to talk about business.

She sent her discovery of the ruins of the Morning Star Academy to the past.

The ruins have undergone tremendous changes over the past few years. The unknown plants mentioned by the dean almost occupy the entire space, and a naturally formed road appears behind the blocked wall, which leads all the way to the core of the plant. .

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiang discovered that she had a certain relationship with plants, and she could control the growth speed of plants to a certain extent.

"Tell me, could I have been a psychic user before? Like delta them? 』

Lu Xiang sent his guess to the past.

After all the "Emperor" mentioned that he didn't catch all the shadows, some of them still escaped the Coalition government and "outside" with impunity.

Before meeting them, the "Emperor"'s main job was to hunt for signs of destruction and bring the escaping shadows to justice.

Could it be that she is also one of the escaped prisoners?

Lu Xiang has seen the ability of shadows. For them, manipulating a person's thinking and turning him into his own puppet is really easy.

"You are different from them. 』

Not long after, she got a reply from Song Lan.

"What's different? 』

"You fell from the sky. 』

"What does this mean? 』

"It means that you are a true girlfriend from heaven. I am investigating this matter. Maybe Mr. Mouse knows something inside. 』

Lu Xiang stared at the phone screen for a long time. She didn't understand the true meaning of "Heavenly Falling Type", but she was very satisfied with the word "girlfriend".

She was so satisfied that she temporarily forgot the dry taste of white sliced ​​bread.

This is what food for thought is about.

"I'm going back to the bureau too. The mayor has approved our enrollment expansion. The number of people and the list will be finalized in the next few days. 』

...

"What are you looking at me for?"

Song Lan put away his phone, only to realize that the living room was surprisingly quiet, and everyone including "Mouse" was staring at him.

"Eat, why don't you eat?"

"Feeling a bit full."

The "Nothingness" who continued to stage the eavesdropping situation spoke out the voice of everyone, and he couldn't explain where this feeling came from.

The beef noodles were delicious, and they only ate a few mouthfuls, but where did this feeling of fullness come from?

"Eat, chat while eating."

"Mouse" observed the words and stood up to break the deadlock, "You came to the oasis this time to investigate the Brotherhood? Did they provoke the law enforcement officers in District 17?"

At the same time, he had to suppress the emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart.

He also wanted to be like Song Lan, to get his girlfriend's condolences every day when eating. After joining the Eschenweig Army, it was not that he hadn't tried.

When he tried to invite Ashe to lunch with him by text message, all he got was this reply:

"What to eat, have you found the person the boss asked you to find?" How on earth do you manage to eat? 』

The strong contrast makes "mouse" feel sad.

"There was a little brother whom Captain Doug was optimistic about was a volunteer with us before. Recently, he was scammed by the Internet. The scammer pretended to be the daughter of the owner of the big Oasis company and tricked him here. Got away, and now the fraternity is looking for him."

Song Lan casually made up a reasonable reason, and added at the end, "I'm usually in charge of the anti-fraud business, but this time the supervisor ordered me to bring him back."

"Nothingness" on the side was stunned.

For a while, he couldn't figure out who was the real fraudster.

"Is the volunteer you mentioned about your age?"

Ash asked suddenly.

"Have you seen him?"

"I haven't seen it, but I heard that he is now in the hands of "Pluto", and he caused a lot of commotion a few days ago."

There must be something extraordinary about someone who can be the talk of the rebel army after dinner.

As far as Ashe knows, this young man is not a psychic, has neither transplanted a combat-type prosthetic body nor transformed his body with drugs, but he was able to slip out of the hands of the Skeleton Gang and live alone in a foreign country under the arrest of the Brotherhood. He fled to Rila.

Not only that, he also found the people of "Pluto" and reported to the rebels how the Skeleton Gang treated foreigners, hoping to get help from the rebels.

She can only say that young people still have beautiful but unrealistic fantasies about this world.

He pinned his hopes on the Rebels to bring them justice, but in reality, everyone knew what the Brotherhood and the Skull were doing, including their human and organ trafficking industries in Neutral Countries.

In the words of Boss Eschenweig, now is not the time to fight against the Brotherhood.

Especially since they have a new backer.

Now the Rebels and the Brotherhood are in a state of being in a state of non-violence, "The Brotherhood has offered a reward of 200,000 watts to catch him alive, I can help you ask, I hope the people of "Pluto" haven't exchanged him for the bounty. "

……………………………

Meanwhile, the other side.

This is a dark room, and the young man has been under house arrest since he defected to the rebel army.

This last hope was also dashed.

The young man was extremely annoyed that he actually believed the evaluation of the "outside" people on the rebel army, and naively believed that the rebel army would uphold justice for the common people.

Not long ago, he had heard from the Rebel soldiers guarding him that the Brotherhood had issued a 200,000-watt reward for finding him.

He has never been so valuable in his life.

In this endless darkness and waiting, the youth finally waited for his end.

The one who entered was a woman who looked not much older than him. From the respectful attitude of the soldiers, it was not difficult to see that she was at least at the cadre level.

The strange thing is that he never saw each other on any bounty orders.

The woman looked at the young man indifferently for a moment with her amber eyes, and then said, "I really don't know why they want to reward you with 200,000 watts."

"Stop talking nonsense, just treat it as my misreading the person."

The young man tried his best to look tough, but his trembling legs betrayed his current mood.

"It seems that you are just luckier than others."

"you--"

The young man's voice of resistance stopped abruptly, and when he took the first step forward, the woman raised her hand and slapped him on the face.

A feeling of dizziness hit him.

The force of this palm is not strong, and he didn't even feel pain. This strange feeling seems to come from elsewhere, like...

The soul and consciousness are pulled out of the person's own body.

When the young man's vision became clear again, he froze in place.

He saw himself.

The other "self" saw his expression, his eyes were full of disgust, "Don't act like a fool."

After saying that, "he" walked out the door.

Rebel soldiers were ready, handcuffed and fettered "him".

The young man finally discovered the changes in his body.

The movement was much lighter, but there seemed to be some burden on his chest. When he looked down, his thinking fell into a state of shutdown again.

"Don't touch my body."

A warning came from outside the door, "Otherwise you will die when I come back."

Small theater its two hundred and sixty-two:

On a certain day of a certain year, Monday, night

"There is an inside story, this game definitely has an inside story!"

After Song Lan said this, Guan Lili became even more interested.

She knows the habits of Ye Heron, not to mention ginger, this kid is a glutton who can even eat plates and sofas, she can't think of any way to beat Ye Heron in terms of eating.

"That's why I say, it's a battle of willpower."

Song Lan went on to say that now he has perfectly integrated into the role of the miscellaneous fish commentator that is often seen in combat-themed works, "Of course Yelu won the previous few competitions."

Even Lu Xiang could not easily overcome the gap in physical structure, but what is really commendable is that Lu Xiang did not resort to cheating in this game.

As he said, this is also a process for Lu Xiang to overcome his own weaknesses.

"After every failure, she would continue to challenge the night heron, so that within a week, both of them could only eat ginger at night."

In this tug-of-war, Lu Xiang's willpower finally gained the upper hand, "A week later, Yelu really didn't want to eat ginger anymore, so he took the initiative to admit defeat."

"...Is it really necessary?"

Guan Lili couldn't calm down for a long time. At this moment, she felt Lu Xiang's attachment to potatoes more intuitively.

If it were her, let alone a week, two days in a row would be enough for her to switch to nutritional injections.

"This is Lu Xiang—a real potato seeker."
