Pollution throughout the territory

8:30 p.m.

Led by the servants, Xia Ren and the others arrived at a magnificent building in the main residence area specially designed to entertain foreign guests.

This building is about the size of a basketball court. From the outside, it looks similar to other nearby buildings in a restrained style. However, after entering, you will find that it is a completely different world.

Expensive chandeliers float overhead, emitting soft light, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, and unique pendants and reliefs can be seen everywhere on the walls, showing luxury.

About one or two hundred people have come to the hall. Several gorgeous long tables are arranged one after another, with various exquisite pastries and food on them. Waiters shuttle among the crowd carrying silver trays, providing guests with fine wine and various services.

There is a stage in the center of the hall, and a white-haired pianist is playing a soothing and elegant melody.

Zhu Youqian was chatting with an elderly couple. Next to him was a slightly cute woman with excellent appearance and temperament. The two were holding each other's hands and seemed to have a close relationship.

Seeing Xia Ren and the others coming, Zhu Youqian waved to them and then took the initiative to walk over.

"Are you still used to it here?"

"It's okay, but your yard is too big and it's easy to get lost."

Xia Ren glanced at the woman next to him. It was Tiansi Temple Liuli whom he had met a few months ago. However, when they met, he appeared as Zhao Mingyue, so the other party should not know him.

While the two men were chatting, Qin Yun and Tiansi Liuli looked at each other, smiled and nodded, clarifying the identities of the two heroines respectively.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my wife Liuli; this is my good brother, Xia Ren, and the person next to him is the legendary most mysterious female president of Changsheng Pharmaceutical, Miss Qin Yun."

As usual, Zhu Youqian briefly introduced the other party's identity to them: "As for their relationship..."

Before Zhu Youqian finished speaking, Xia Ren took the initiative and said with a smile: "I'm a softie."

When he said this, there was no embarrassment on his face, but a sense of pride.

Tiansi Temple Liuli didn't expect to hear such an answer. She was a little surprised for a moment and looked at Qin Yun subconsciously.

Qin Yun nodded very cooperatively: "Yes."

Tiansi Temple Liuli was stunned, feeling that she could not understand their brain circuits, but her excellent self-cultivation did not make her show a gaffe expression, but she naturally talked to Qin Yun and expressed her admiration for her career.

Of course, I ignored the soft-boiled guy next to me.

This result is exactly what Xia Ren wants. He is not used to this kind of public situation, so it is best for no one to stay away from him.

After Qin Yun regains her human identity, she can no longer take risks with him. With the protection of the foundation and her identity as the president of Changsheng Pharmaceutical, she can do almost anything she wants. But so far, she She has never told Xia Ren what she wants to do, and Xia Ren doesn't take the initiative to ask.

Likewise, no matter what she wants to do or what identity she wants to live her life with, Xia Ren will support her unconditionally.

Before they even said a few words, Zhu Youqian was called away by another person, probably to discuss something. Liuli was not with her. It was obvious that she was really curious about Qin Yun, so the two continued Chatting.

Xia Ren looked around and saw a familiar face on the edge of the hall, so he walked over.

Da Yuan stayed with Qin Yun, while Lily left with Xia Ren.

"Hi, tall guy."

Xia Ren patted Tang Tangtang on the back.

With a height of two meters, the opponent is very eye-catching in the crowd and can be seen at a glance.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Tangtang turned around and saw that it was Xia Ren. He was obviously very happy: "Why are you here too?"

They had not seen each other since the last separation at Hoover Dam, and they only knew that the other party was still alive.

"I still want to ask you."

Xia Ren looked at Yi Zhiyu who was next to Tang Tangtang: "Why are you here?"

Compared with before, Yi Zhiyu seemed to be a little less energetic, and there were actually a few white hairs on his head.

This seems to be a bad sign for an S-class investigator.

He smiled and said, "You're asking this. It seems Zhu Youqian didn't tell you anything, right?"

"tell me what?"

Xia Ren noticed that something was not right in the other party's tone.

Yi Zhiyu changed the topic and said: "I came here mainly for Tang Tangtang's affairs. He has been troubled by hypothermia. The foundation has no good solution so far, but Zhu Youqian said he would introduce it. A wizard who can cure hypothermia, so we came here.”

"Wizard?" Xia Ren thought he heard wrongly.

Why did he suddenly mention wizards?

Yi Zhiyu obviously hid his thoughts and said: "I can't tell you too much about Zhu Youqian. In fact, I don't know much about it myself. He is more complicated. He not only serves as an S-class investigator for the foundation, but also works with All parties, even pagans, maintain some degree of contact, including of course the Wizards' Alliance. He invited many people to this wedding, and we were just one of them. As for what he gave to the others Promise, I don’t know.”

"You mean, Zhu Youqian used his wedding to gather people from all walks of life?"

Xia Ren thought that Zhu Youqian was not simple, but he didn't expect him to be so simple: "He has so much energy? Can he ensure that there will be no problems?"

"Surprising, right?"

Yi Zhiyu took a glass of wine on the long table, took a sip, and said: "I don't know much more than you do. Regarding the existence of Zhu Youqian, I only gradually started to understand it after I had S-level permissions. You should You know that two years ago, the foundation headquarters had a power outage, various containment measures failed, and the contaminants we contained caused riots, right?"

"Have a general understanding."

Xia Ren nodded. The Foundation's records on this matter are relatively vague. We only know that the catastrophic event had a far-reaching impact, and even some S-class investigators disappeared afterward.

Yi Zhiyu continued: "In that accident, the items sealed on the 18th floor were also lost. Although the whereabouts of the items were later found, the Foundation has not been able to recover them until now."

There is something that even the foundation cannot do?

Xia Ren asked curiously: "What?"

"a book."

Yi Zhiyu said: "To be precise, it is a grimoire. It is the most complete and incomprehensible grimoire currently known to record the knowledge of pollution. Even doctors have never opened it to read. The name of the book Even S-level permissions cannot be known."

Xia Ren was a little confused and didn't understand what this matter had to do with Zhu Youqian.

Yi Zhiyu took another sip of wine, pondered for two seconds and then said: "That book is now held by Zhu Youqian."
