Indescribable cyberpunk

The honey-colored gemstone turned in Zhu Jue's hand, and the lights in the restaurant reflected on it, which was really beautiful.

"Don't take out the gems here. Don't you see that the people next to you are looking at you?"

Noticing the gazes gathered around her, Olivia lowered her voice and spoke to Zhu Jue.

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Jue's behavior seems to be in front of other people in the restaurant. To put it nicely, it is called showing off his wealth, and at worst, it is showing off. A gem as big as a pigeon egg is undoubtedly extremely rare even in the center of Shuguang City. There is no such thing as hanging around in front of people.

"I know, but I won't take it back because I just want others to see it."

Zhu Jue put the gem down, but did not take it back. Instead, he continued to put it on the side by the window.

Ouch~

The wind chime that had been nestled in Zhu Jue's arms suddenly screamed.

Zhu Jue, who was about to pick up the chopsticks again, suddenly turned to the tissue box, took out two tissues, wiped his mouth and said, "It's almost time to eat. If you have something to do tomorrow, go back and prepare."

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Olivia, who was sitting opposite Zhu Jue, could certainly see the temporary change in his movements, and her intuition told her that today's meal was not as simple as she thought.

"It's nothing. I met an acquaintance. You should go back first. I will stay in Bailu Square for a while."

Zhu Jue did not mention to Olivia that the hive system discovered that the gentleman had come to Egret Square to conduct transactions. This was his private matter, not to mention that he was not prepared to tell anyone about the dreamland.

"Don't need help?"

The old seal she wore close to her body had only been warmed for a while, and Olivia still wanted to give Zhu Xue something in return.

"No need, it's just a matter of saying a few words, not enemies."

After taking back the gem, he stood up to pay the bill, and Zhu Jue left the restaurant with the wind chime.

As mentioned before, he did not leave the Egret Square, but walked around for a while before returning to the big banyan tree where the gentleman had traded with people before.

This is done to confirm that the gentleman has left with the black swan and will not suddenly appear to interfere with his next actions.

Standing under the banyan tree, looking at the virtual image of falling rain, Zhu Jue could sense the person following him and raised his hand to throw the gem over without looking back.

Then he simply leaned back on the seat built around the banyan tree, crossed his legs and waited for the person to catch the gem he threw.

"You know I'm following you. Or do you want me to follow you?"

The man wearing round sunglasses sat down and raised the gem in his hand. His tone was calm. After a short pause, he continued,

"What does this mean, a meeting ceremony?"

"You can think of it this way, it is a reward I paid you in advance. As for the reason, I want to ask you for a favor."

Zhu Jue did not turn around to take a closer look at the man's face, and the latter was not prepared to do so. The two of them were clearly sitting side by side, but they were each looking at each other. One seemed to be trying to see the real person from the virtual rain curtain in front of him. Raindrops, the other is staring at the trunk of the banyan tree, as if it is covered with some rare insects.

"If my memory is correct, today should be the first time the two of us meet."

The development of things was a bit unexpected, but the man did not leave directly, but chose to continue listening.

"There is a bit of a conflict between the gentleman and I. He wants to kill me, and I am going to kill him before that day comes, but before I do it, I need to make sure that some original things are not changed, so as not to look twice after killing someone. A touch of darkness, after all, I am very interested in dreamland."

Zhu Jue's answer was very straightforward, almost revealing his purpose without any concealment. Such a straightforward answer made the man next to him look at Zhu Jue with doubts in his eyes.

Do people nowadays speak so directly?

Why not lie?

It's not that Zhu Jue can't make up lies, but that he doesn't think it's necessary.

Originally, Zhu Jue's plan did not include this link. He only followed up because the honeycomb system discovered this transaction, and the monitoring function included in the latter was not just fixed-point monitoring.

In fact, after the gentleman left the house, the mobile monitor of the cellular system had followed him and monitored the entire transaction. Zhu Jue could also hear the conversation between him and the man next to him clearly through the earphones, otherwise Zhu Jue would not have heard it clearly. Will not take the initiative to expose myself.

"I know who you are, a temporary worker under a gentleman, am I right?"

Obviously, the man in sunglasses is also a smart person, and he guessed his identity just by combining several elements in Zhu Jue's words.

"That's right, so you should understand what I meant above."

Zhu Jue still told the truth.

"Of course I understand, it's really rare. The matter of gentlemen hiring temporary workers has not been exposed in the past few years. As far as I know, there are quite a few times, but I have never been able to do this like you, and even counter-tracking When you come to my side, aren't you afraid that I will tell the gentleman now? To be honest, anyone who breaks the contract will not have a good ending."

After clarifying Zhu Jue's identity, the man in sunglasses immediately became more playful in his words, and the expression on his face was no longer as solemn as before, but instead had a weird look.

He's just a temporary worker, so what can he do? He doesn't know the gentleman's strength clearly, but he also has a general idea.

Why do gentlemen dare to recruit and exploit these people in this way that is similar to "cutting leeks"?

Is his plan really that seamless?

After all, isn't it because he feels that no matter what happens in the end, he can easily uproot the disobedient "leek" with his own strength.

How could those who had only had a few adventures in the Dreamland compare to him and Black Swan who had been operating there for several years.

I just wish that this "leek" will grow very strong. Special, special, special strong!

"I'm not here to negotiate a deal with you, I'm just here to inform you that probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in any case within three days, the gentleman will be gone. This is what I said. If you don't believe it, you can tell the gentleman now. Let him come to me. In this case, maybe tonight will be the last time you see him."

The man in sunglasses couldn't say anything. Zhu Jue was sure of this, so he dared to say such things to his face.

The reason is simple. In the negotiation that I just overheard, the gentleman mentioned something very interesting.

"If you don't help me, I will cooperate with the Dream Eaters. When the time comes that I lose the passage here, you will only regret it!"

This sentence was said by the gentleman himself, and the content is easy to understand. The gentleman has two boats, and his trump card is the space door.

"Are all young people today so arrogant?"

Now it was the man in sunglasses who was confused. In his opinion, the purpose of this temporary worker looking for him was to unite with him to kill the gentleman, and all he had to do was to choose between informing the gentleman or helping the latter. Just choose one of the two.

Who would have thought that the temporary worker, without saying a few words, first announced the gentleman's certain death, could the conversation continue?

"You need to continue the transaction with the gentleman, don't you? I will be his successor. I can give you the terms of the transaction between the gentleman and you, and I can also give you discounts. Deeper cooperation in the future is not impossible. Under such a premise, I would like to meet with you first, and if possible, I would like to ask some questions, is that too much?"

Before the man in sunglasses could respond, Zhu Jue turned around for the first time, tapped the gem in his hand and added with a smile,

"What's more, I gave you a gift first, and I killed a dream eater on my last trip. I'm very sincere."

"Ha! It's surprising that a gentleman would be under your surveillance."

Speaking of this, the man in sunglasses naturally realized that Zhu Jue's appearance in Bailu Square was not a coincidence. He pondered for a while and then asked,

"What do you want to know?"

He decided to listen to the temporary worker's answer, maybe he could get something unexpected.

"According to my investigation, Shining Gold Bank is undoubtedly just a lie by the gentleman. He uses us to collect treasures for him in the dreamland and do strange tasks. I want to know what the gentleman does, harvesting in this way. Interests, I don’t believe he doesn’t have other businesses.”

"Your idea is correct. You people are just part of the business he controls. The gentleman holds a space door leading to the dreamland. Relying on this path that can connect to reality, you can say that he has made a lot of money in the past few years. Broker and postman, these are the terms he often uses when dealing with us people. You should understand the meaning of these two terms. It doesn't make any sense to just kill the gentleman. Since you are his temporary worker, you should You have entered the space door, and now you want to take action, you should have found the location of the door, right?"

When the space door was mentioned, the emotions emerging from the eyes under the sunglasses were somewhat intriguing, and they deliberately steered the topic towards this most critical issue.

They have been coveting that door for a long time. However, the gentleman has reached a cooperation agreement with the Dream Eater somehow, so they dare not act rashly for fear that the gentleman will turn to the Dream Eater. Now the man in front of them wants to To replace the gentleman, could it be that he found the location of the space door?

"Of course, if I didn't find the door, how could I possibly attack the gentleman."

Tonight, Zhu Jue simply didn't want to be too honest. He would answer whatever he asked, and his answer was undoubtedly what the man in sunglasses wanted to hear.

"As long as you can truly replace the gentleman, of course we can cooperate. I promise to tell you all your problems."

No matter what method the other party was prepared to use, he believed that this "arrogant" young man was undoubtedly easier to deal with than the difficult gentleman. He paused and then continued,

"But all this is based on your ability to successfully replace the gentleman. Before that, I will not disclose any key information to you. After all, the gentleman is my partner right now, and you are not. All I can do is wait for you to break up. Win or lose without intervening.”

"That's enough. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Zhu Jue found this person today simply because he wanted to achieve this goal. From what he had just eavesdropped on, he knew that this man in sunglasses came from a real traveler organization and seemed to hold some kind of resource that was important to a gentleman.

As Zhu Jue said above, he doesn't want to get just a dry space door after killing the gentleman. If possible, he naturally hopes to take over as many things as possible.

“Happy future cooperation!”

This was a bit awkward to hear, but both of them had smiles on their faces when they shook hands.

Who has the last laugh?
