Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana made an appointment to go together to cause some trouble for the Cemetery Gang, and by the way "strengthen the PCPD's determination to crack down on gangs", but this matter cannot delay the social event they will attend together next Wednesday. Before that, Zhuang Xuteng planned to trim his hair and give himself a face. Even if he couldn't turn the face of a passerby into a handsome face, he would at least look clean and tidy.

This is an activity of "taking advantage of the pit", and it is definitely considered a major event in life, and it must be paid special attention to.

He had never had any experience in this area, so he went to ask Brother Dao for advice. It turned out that he was completely the same as him. He only knew that he should use soap when washing his face. This was basically the end of his own beauty. Zhuang Xuteng knew that his sister Zhuang Feifei must be very familiar with this field. Fashion management and image design are two aspects of the same thing and cannot be separated at all. If you ask her, you will definitely get a satisfactory answer, but it will also prematurely expose the secret that her brother will attend the event with her future sister-in-law.

With that girl's character, she would definitely try her best to get a ticket and become a little spy in the venue. And with her industry characteristics and connections, it shouldn't be difficult to get a ticket.

After much deliberation, I decided to ask Lucy about it. It happened that the house matter had been going on for a long time, and it was almost time for a result. Zhuang Xuteng made an appointment with Lucy on the phone and went to see her when she was free.

Lucy has been very busy recently, and Nightingale and Rockbird are also working overtime. They raised some flowers at home and asked Zhuang Xuteng to help water them when they couldn't come back, so he could know the situation. During this period, Zhuang Xuteng tried not to disturb them as much as possible and stayed at home to practice levitation.

Speaking of which, even though I haven't been here for more than a week, the music restaurant has already changed a lot. The most obvious thing is the rice-shaped tape on the glass window. The yellow lines are very conspicuous and can be seen from a distance. This kind of tape is generally used to prevent strong winds and make the force even and dispersed. At the same time, it can also hold the fragments when the glass is blown by the wind, playing a certain protective role.

In addition to the obvious yellow tape, there is also a rare amount of garbage at the entrance of the music restaurant. The store clerk was busy cleaning. When they saw the armored ferret and Nike inside, they waved to him not to park on the street, but to go around to the parking lot behind. Zhuang Xuteng usually prefers to park outside to save trouble, but since he has this requirement, he will comply with it.

The parking lot has also changed. There are two more poles at the entrance and exit, and there are people standing guard next to the poles. After asking about it, I found out that in the past few days, there were always gangsters coming to make trouble. Although it was all trivial matters, they were not brought to the fore and no one was hurt. But littering, spray paint on the glass, scratching the cars on the roadside... are all quite disgusting things.

It is estimated that if things continue to develop, they will probably come and smash the glass. It's hard to guard against this, because those gangsters will come quickly on their bikes, wreak havoc and then drive away. If they were to intercept or shoot, that would be exactly what the Cemetery Gang wanted, and they would have even more reason to come here to cause trouble. Lucy's current instructions are: Just don't get hurt or die, and you can tolerate small losses.

"I feel very passive." Zhuang Xuteng expressed his thoughts after seeing Lucy: "Have you not caused any trouble for the Cemetery Gang recently? Are you just going to wait like this?"

"There are some small actions that don't require the use of your level of power, so you don't know. Sit down, you don't need to wait too long, but at least wait until I have suffered obvious losses, so that you can fully There are no reasons to cause trouble." Lucy signaled Zhuang Xuteng not to worry. She said: "We are worried about the power of the Cemetery Gang. The Cemetery Gang also has the same sentiments towards middlemen and mercenaries, and they are all a bit shy. However, there have been reports about the Nine-Head Elder. News of the death is out and if the situation changes, it will change quickly."

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news." Zhuang Xuteng clenched his fists to show that he was ready. He then let go of his hand and said, "Sister Lucy, you know what I'm here to do."

"I know, one is a house and the other is face." Lucy smiled, took out a business card holder from the drawer, found one and showed it to Zhuang Xuteng: "Remember this contact and address. No matter if you have beauty needs in the future If you still want to find a disguise service, you can go to him. Tell him that I introduced you, you will get a discount, and I will get a commission."

"As for the house, the contract has been signed and the house is vacant. Only the decoration team is left to finish the work." When Lucy saw Zhuang Xuteng open his mouth slightly, she knew what he was worried about. She waved her hand and said first: "Decoration refers to It means cleaning up the traces of the previous life, installing some basic safety equipment, and redoing the sound insulation, waterproofing and thermal insulation layers. The electrical system and the water and gas in the kitchen must be new. It does not involve style decoration, and you have plenty of space to make your own use of it. "

"That's good. Morgana really wants to tinker with the furniture and accessories herself - she has been looking forward to moving out and living on her own and spending the money she earns on her life."

Lucy nodded and said: "If you two can make it happen, it will definitely be a good thing. But..."

"But what? Do you find it difficult?"

"If you say something ugly in advance, I'll say it this time." Lucy said: "Not everyone who likes each other can come together. If something unfortunate happens, I hope you can move on. Remember one thing: Excluding the gap caused by family background, you are better than Morgana. I think you have a bright future, so don’t let it go to waste."

"Uh..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, looked troubled, and said jokingly: "My future is very promising? Do you mean that I have no future now?"

"You know what I mean, don't be ridiculous!" Lucy shook her head with a smile and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your own thing! I'm going to urge the decoration team. I think they can complete it within a week. What you just said I’m not free next Wednesday, so it’s okay until then, right?”

"Yes. Do you have a mission?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, there will be news tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so be prepared." Lucy said: "This operation requires you, Brother Dao and Yanque to go out. Nightingale will stay here to provide information support to you. I can’t tell you the specific task content yet because I haven’t completed this accounting yet.”

"Understood, I'll set aside time to give Brother Dao a few more hints, and then I'll pretend I haven't heard about it." Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose and said, "Isn't this a very friendly question: Has the work of survival of the fittest been completed? "

The "survival of the fittest" here refers to Lucy's previous decision to reduce the size of her mercenaries. She herself said that only by reducing the scale and leaving only elite soldiers and generals can we provide intelligence support and information services of high quality and quantity. Zhuang Xuteng should not be concerned about such offending things in the first place, but he attaches great importance to information and intelligence support capabilities, and he is also one of the rare people who can greatly improve mission execution capabilities and completion effects by analyzing intelligence and judging the situation. He has commanding talents and is therefore qualified to intervene in this matter. Now that Lucy asked him to prepare for the task, he had to ask about the situation.

"It's done. It's busier now than when you first came, but the quality of intelligence collection and analysis has been restored. In addition, I have to correct it: this is not survival of the fittest. Of course, the best can win, but there is no inferiority here." Lucy said : "I didn't eliminate anyone, let alone let the mercenaries die. I arranged a better way out for some people, and they all approved, so everyone can get together and leave."

"I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry." Zhuang Xuteng nodded his forehead with two fingers and saluted Lucy. "I will go back and reflect now. I won't be an eyesore here anymore. When I need to take action, I will be there with just a phone call. I will always be ready!"

"Let's go, let's go, don't forget to do your face." Lucy sighed and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not, there won't be much improvement - just average is fine."

Will there really be no improvement? Zhuang Xuteng didn't believe it. He admits that he has an ordinary appearance, a common face, lacks recognition, and does not stand out in a crowd... but at least he is not ugly. If he doesn't get promoted, then won't all the popular faces get promoted?

According to the address on the business card, Zhuang Xuteng found this beauty salon called "Face". It is located in Shangcheng District, where the service industry is developed. It has a three-story studio of its own, and it is said that it also has a branch in Taiping District, where rich people gather. The people who receive services here attach great importance to their appearance, and cannot embarrass themselves or embarrass the people they need to serve.

Originally, Zhuang Xuteng's "social status" would not allow Tony's boss to take action, but Lucy's reputation is indeed great. A beautiful woman who should be the boss's secretary asked Zhuang Xuteng to wait a moment. The boss would receive him next after finishing his current clients.

About forty minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng met this "Boss Tony" - it can only be said that his name is suitable for this industry. Judging from the white hair on his head, he is no longer young, but he is very neatly groomed. With his always straight back and stretched shoulders, he still gives people a feeling of vitality and charm. Overall, this is a very handsome middle-aged and elderly man, but not the type that shines brightly. As soon as he saw Zhuang Xuteng, he stared at him with piercing eyes, looked up and down a dozen times, and then sighed.

"Lucy will really provide me with a challenge..."

Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes, inhaled hard through his nostrils, suppressed his discomfort, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Is my face so difficult to deal with?"

"It is indeed very challenging - I didn't quite believe it when Lucy called me just now, but now..." The handsome old man raised his eyebrows, smiled and showed his teeth, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say You are ugly or have some flaws, but from a purely technical point of view, it is really difficult to improve the makeup on your face while ensuring natural coordination."

After hearing this explanation, Zhuang Xuteng finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt less awkward. "Sister Lucy, have you told me my request?"

"Lucy...Sister? Well, okay, she's actually not that young, but I can understand that she would like to be called sister. And it's her own choice to wear a mask, and it's not wrong." Boss Tony hummed. He made a sound, feeling that he was a little dissatisfied. "That's such a waste..."

"Is Sister Lucy beautiful?"

"Haha, I have a very strict mouth, so you can't ask anything." Tony smiled and said, "Come on, let me give you a little plan. Just looking at it isn't enough, I have to feel your facial muscles and bones Condition, we also need to look at the condition of your hair. I have to say, if I take a closer look, your skin is quite good. Not only is it natural and original, it seems to be continuing to grow and evolve. What medicines do you usually use? "

"No need to do anything, just wash your face with cold water and add soap."

"Then your foundation is really good." Tony didn't know that dormant martial arts and super-computing martial arts have the ability to strengthen the skin and transfer all hidden dangers, so he sighed. He carefully examined Zhuang Xuteng's face, and then explained to him in detail the difficulties in improving his appearance.

If you do some more exaggerated makeup and use a strong style, it will definitely improve the viewing quality, but then you have to sacrifice the recognition of Zhuang Xuteng's original face. However, Zhuang Xuteng is a popular face - according to Tony, it is like the most common parts plus the most common combinations, already infinitely similar to the "average person" in the crowd - he is less recognizable than others, Looks like anyone.

"Using some makeup techniques, it is easy to turn you into other styles. You can also imitate other people, even for both men and women. If you are a little slimmer, it will be more convenient. But those are not you, and those who are familiar with you are not you. It will feel a little awkward. Hmm... I admit that Lucy is right, under certain conditions, you are a big problem. All I can do now is give you a haircut, wash your face, and apply some skin care... Your skin doesn't even need it Skin care products.”

"I can be satisfied knowing this result. It will save me trouble in the future." Zhuang Xuteng smiled, feeling very proud of his appearance for the first time in his life - it doesn't need to be taken care of! "By the way, the one you mentioned can easily make me look like someone else. Can you teach me this?"

"Do you have any foundation in makeup and disguise?"

"I only know camouflage makeup, just for sneaking in." Zhuang Xuteng told the truth: "Is it easy to learn? I learn things quickly and I am willing to pay for the tuition."

"I have a good relationship with several intermediaries. Mainly there are some favors that need to be repaid, and some favors that need to be made." Tony rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He could tell from Lucy's description that the young man in front of him was very valued and valuable. Future, after actually meeting him, I also felt that he had a straightforward temperament and could be dated. "I don't teach people easily, so there are two conditions."

"Please say."

"In addition to the material fee and tuition fee, you owe me a favor. This favor is not big, and I don't know when I will use it, but you can't deny it and say it doesn't exist." Tony raised his second finger and said: " In addition, you have to learn with another mercenary. In fact, when I teach people the art of disguise, I am returning a favor to someone. Teaching one or both is teaching, and you are just in time for this opportunity."

Is there another person? Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "If the other person doesn't mind, I don't mind. I'll learn, but I also have a condition: don't say who I am or what I do."

"I'm very strict with my mouth." Tony smiled and said.
