Indescribable cyberpunk

As the last rays of the setting sun dissipate from the sea level.

The world is once again shrouded in darkness.

Lisanna found the "key" in the inn and walked out without looking away. When she came to the door, she turned around and told the steward of the chamber of commerce that she and the president would be back later tonight.

But his eyes drifted upward, looking at the figure standing on the balcony of the second floor of the hotel on the left.

There were no lights on inside the house, and they could only be distinguished by the light from the warehouse in the inn. Therefore, the two guards behind them just glanced at them, thinking they were residents, and didn't pay much attention.

Herod~

Amidst the neighing of the horses, the wheels began to roll, taking the carriage away, leaving only a little smoke floating in the air.

On the edge of the balcony, Lobelin held the note in his hand. There was not much content on it, just a short sentence: Someone snatched the Searing Box, and the president needs help.

This was just after Lisanna came back, she used the key as an excuse to delay, and used the note left secretly in the room by the gravel parasite to remind Lobelin when he passed by the hotel. He only got it after Lisanna left.

"Even your enemies need help. It seems there are many contenders this time."

Holding the note in his hand, Lobelin jumped down from the balcony. The Searing Box was what he had to get. Now that he finally saw hope, he naturally would not allow anyone to interfere at this critical moment. Feet destroyed.

Just when he reached the door, the sound coming from outside made him stop and retreat behind the door to observe the situation outside from an angle.

Several men in black robes stopped the stewards of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce outside the inn. From the voices coming over, they seemed to be asking about the whereabouts of Zhu Jue and Lisanna.

"Dream Eater?"

The other party's attire reminded Lobelin immediately of the people he killed at the Popeye Tavern today. Through mental induction, he quickly determined this.

Why are there two groups of people?

After asking about the Searing Box, Lobelin started to clean up these cultists and competitors. He thought that there would be less trouble, but he didn't expect that another team of dream eaters would appear now.

Normally, Lobelin might choose to take action again, but now is obviously not a good time to take action, not to mention the opponent's strength is unknown. If the fight is evenly matched, problems will easily arise on the side of the Searing Box.

But it didn't seem right to just leave like that.

After staying behind the door for a while and eavesdropping on the sounds outside, Lobelin was surprised to find that this team of dream eaters behaved as if they had no idea what was happening today.

They did not ask the Dream Eaters who came to Shuojin Chamber of Commerce before them, nor did they show any obvious hostility. They even presented themselves as ordinary merchants during the conversation.

This is a little strange.

You must know that when Zhu Jue was chatting with Lobelin before, he also mentioned that the Dream Eaters came to snatch the Searing Box this morning and were killed by them. In this matter, Lobelin did not think that Zhu Jue You'll deceive yourself because it means nothing.

Then there is only one possibility left. These dream eaters are not the same group as the ones they killed. They may have known that the dream eaters at Dilas Harbor were dead, but they did not know who did it. In a short time There is no way to check. Another possibility is that these people did not join the original group at all and acted on their own. However, these two routes will eventually intertwine at one point, that is, we can only focus on the most important thing first. Here comes the key Searing Box.

In this case, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it!

No longer in a hurry to go to the Count of Oatland's villa, Bellorin straightened his clothes and took the initiative to walk out.

The people outside the door naturally noticed Bellorin's presence immediately, but as the latter thought, these dream eaters didn't know who he was at all, but looked at the wooden mask on his face in surprise. , which made Bellorin, who was still secretly on guard, completely relieved.

"Hey, your vice-president said he wanted to give something to Count Alterland. He also promised me to go and see it before. Where is he now?"

Bellorin did not look at the group of dream eaters and asked the stewards of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce.

Lisanna and Zhu Jue were just two people when they left. When they came back, Zhu Jue was not there, but there were two more armed guards. In addition to the note just now,

As expected, before the steward could answer anything, the Dream Eater noticed his question first.

"Did you just say that the vice-president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce wanted to send something to the Count of Alterland?"

The leader of the men in black turned his attention to Belorin. He had never been to Dilas Harbor before, and he certainly knew someone like the Count of Oatland.

The vice-president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce gave something to the Count of Alterland?

In his opinion, this kind of behavior that is close to flattering is impossible without the instruction of the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. In other words, it is the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce who is trying to please the Earl of Alterland, and this undoubtedly arouses his Alert, they soon thought of the deterioration in the relationship between their Dream Eaters and the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce during this period.

The local forces that turn to the Dreamland will not only protect the interests of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in the Dreamland, but will also not violate the alliance with the Dream Eaters. At least as long as they do not completely turn to the Dreamland Troupe, the Dream Eaters This person will not completely break up with him.

Therefore, in a sense, this behavior of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce can even be said to have found a new path in the alliance between the two parties that is now in danger.

"Huh, what a good plan!"

Thinking about the hidden meaning behind Shuojin Chamber of Commerce's move, Rao, the leader of the Dream Eaters, couldn't help but secretly appreciate the decisiveness and accuracy of the new president's decision-making.

Tsk tsk tsk~

This ability of brainstorming is really not very strong. Anyway, when Lobelin heard this, he thought that his plan was exposed, and he almost took action directly. However, after saying this, the man in front of him turned around and left with the team, probably heading straight for The Duke of Oatland's manor is preparing to have a oriole behind him.

Lobelin was naturally happy to see this result, and even the quicksand face under the mask was a little twitching. He followed these people from a distance. These dream eaters would help him find his goal.

On the other side, Oatland Manor.

The content of the cocktail party in the dreamland was no different from what Zhu Jue had imagined. It was still the same old routine of drinking and drinking. People in brightly dressed clothes shuttled between the banquets, putting on fake faces that looked half-smiling but not smiling, and doing many things that were either overt or covert. of communication.

As for Zhu Jue, an out-of-place guy, he spent the whole three hours just wandering around the outside of the reception, either leaning against the fountain or half-lying in the corridor outside, rotating bottles of wine in his hand, just drinking. One fell unconscious.

However, Zhu Jue's current physique really did not allow him to feel dizzy. Once the wine entered his stomach, it would be completely absorbed in a short time.

So Zhu Jue became a frequent visitor to the toilet.

After coming out of the toilet for the fifth time, Zhu Jue finally saw the manor housekeeper he had been waiting for at the closing reception table.

"Mr. President, the reception is over. His Excellency the Earl is waiting for you at the door, and Miss Lisanna is also there."

Originally, Lisanna was not allowed to follow, but she took the initiative to tell the Count of Alterland that there was a special rule for the placement of the Searing Box, and as the newly appointed president, Zhu Jue had not fully grasped it yet, so it was very possible that Triggers the built-in mechanism in the collection, so it's best to have her along.

Alteran did not refuse Lisanna's proposal. He did not think that this woman could play any tricks under his nose. His eager anticipation for the Searing Box made him subconsciously ignore some less important details.

"I know it is a treasure left to me by my ancestors, but now it has to be given to others. This is really a hiccup~"

Zhu Jue rubbed his stomach and burped with wine. He was not drunk, but his steps were still swaying. In the end, he even had to lean on the butler's side to move forward, mumbling and complaining all the time, and did not stop until he reached the door. .

Not only did the butler not stop him, he actually had a smile on his face. The same expression also appeared on the face of Earl of Alterland, but the latter was more sarcastic.

"Mr. President has been drinking all afternoon, and he was still complaining on the way here that you robbed him of his treasure."

The butler stood bowed beside the carriage and reported what he had seen in the afternoon. In fact, he had been paying attention to Zhu Jue's every move after the deal was concluded. Is the deal that the latter agreed to under his own pressure true submission or other preparations? , perhaps we can get clues from his behavior at the cocktail party.

Naturally, he, the butler, had to do things that the master didn't have time to do, and Zhu Jue's final behavior undoubtedly dispelled their last doubts.

"Young people are young people after all. They can't hide anything in their hearts. Oh, it's a good thing. Don't worry about him."

Outland waved his hand casually, glanced at the young man on the other side who was holding Lisanna's shoulders and retching on the roadside, and said in a deep voice.

Set off!

Target Searing Box!
