Arknights is too real, right?

Xia Feng sat alone on the cold steps and watched a large number of young people get into vans and leave Baigui Street one after another.

After everyone left, Sister Mira, who was diagonally opposite, walked out of the house with a broom. She walked to a tree in front of the door, swept up a ball of ashes that she didn't know what it was, and returned silently. at home.

The owner of the photo studio walked up to Xia Feng from the opposite side, wearing a pair of black gloves in his hands.

When the boss approached, his expression was not very friendly.

"Xia Feng, this must be another trick of yours."

Xia Feng raised his head with an innocent look on his face.

"I can't help it, someone wants to kill me."

The owner of the photo studio looked cold.

"I don't care if someone kills you or you want to kill someone, you'd better understand that you are not the only resident on this street, and don't forget why everyone chooses to live here."

"I know, it's for peace of mind. I'm the one causing trouble this time. I'm sorry."

Seeing Xia Feng's sincere attitude, the photo studio owner didn't blame him.

"Who wants to kill you, have you figured it out?"

"Got it figured out."

"Do you need help."

Xia Feng looked at the photo studio owner who rarely communicated with him in surprise.

The boss pushed up his glasses.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to help you. I'm just a neighbor. I don't want everyone on this street to be disturbed in the middle of the night."

Xia Feng smiled happily.

"No, I will solve this matter myself. I promise this is the last time."

"All right."

The photo studio owner turned around and walked back to his shop. Xia Feng inadvertently saw that his gloves were stained with solidified blood.

Brother ACE's voice came from behind.

"Xia Feng, what should we do with that Ursus man?"

Xia Feng stood up from the steps and patted the snow on his butt.

"Let him disappear."

"Won't you kill?"

"No need, he is not the person I want to kill."

When the lucky one who survived learned that Xia Feng planned to let him go, he was so moved that he burst into tears. He claimed that he was not a professional killer, but just an armed escort of Yiluo Trading Company.

He still has a wife and children in Ursus. This time, he was sent to Victoria to protect Master Lieqi while he was studying. He was also very reluctant.

After escaping from death this time, he said that he would never work for the Yiluo family again. He would find a way to return to Ursus and set up a fruit stall to do business honestly.

Before leaving, this guy looked back every two steps and every three steps, fearing that Xia Feng would give him a despicable look back like in the movie. He didn't start running away until he completely left Baigui Street.

After the hustle and bustle of the night dissipated, Baigui Street returned to calm.

But Xia Feng's mood was a bit complicated, including helplessness and self-mockery. There were some things that he should have seen clearly, but at the same time, he made a choice to comfort himself out of naivety and wishful thinking.

However, the real reality slapped him hard.

Even at Yin Hui's request, he had no intention of actually killing Lie Qi, because he was a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

But the irony is that his kindness is as worthless as the garbage in the stinky ditch. Even if he only spoke once in the college cafeteria, Lieqi would send someone to kill him without hesitation.

Now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Xia Feng felt more and more how ridiculous his soft-heartedness was.

There could be many reasons why Lieqi wanted to kill him.

Of course, some reasons may not constitute a motive for killing in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of those in power who regard human life as weeds, they can kill without blinking an eye.

First of all, the feud between Kahn and him has been settled. If Lieqi still wants to wear a pair of pants with Kahn, then killing him will be a big gift to Kahn.

Although the Cape family held a high position in Victoria, competitors also existed, such as the Mullen family. If he was just an ordinary person, he would be killed.

However, the power of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in the south cannot be ignored. In this case, it would be difficult for Kahn to take revenge on him. At this time, it would be much easier for Lieqi, an Ursusian, to help kill people.

Of course, this is only the first motive for killing.

As for the second type, Xia Feng can completely guess it now.

That is to say, Lie Qi had noticed that Yin Hui wanted to kill him, and several private conversations between Yin Hui and him made Lie Qi guess that Yin Hui wanted to use Black Feather's hand to kill him.

There are conflicts within the Ilo family. As the heir, Lieqi needs grades. In addition to a diploma from a higher education institution, he also has to eliminate his competitors.

If Lie Qi was afraid of death, it would make perfect sense for him to send his men to Hapi City to assassinate him. To put it bluntly, it was to strike first.

But if Lieqi's city is deep enough, there will be a second meaning.

That is, Lie Qi wanted Yin Hui to have no chess pieces to use, and finally forced Yin Hui to do it himself, and then used this to seize the evidence that he wanted to harm the Yiluo family. If this charge was proven, even if there were internal conflicts in the Yiluo family, he would still Prioritize the elimination of the Kalan trade, which poses the greatest threat.

Of course, only one of the above situations may exist, or they may exist at the same time, but that is no longer important.

Because Lieqi had already offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

The next day, Chief Mesa came to the barbecue restaurant and said he wanted to report the matter to General Gleason.

Xia Feng sat behind the desk holding a teacup.

"General Gleason is back from the north?"

Mesa crossed her arms and looked indifferent.

"Back early."

"Did nothing happen?"

"What? Are you still hoping that something will happen to the general?"

Xia Feng was immediately frightened.

"Hey, it's okay."

In the following days, Hapi City returned to calm, and it was as if the assassination never happened.

The equipment in the Origin Stone Processing Factory is running rapidly, and the finished Origin Stone is like abundant rice, being continuously collected into the finished product warehouse.

At the same time, the natural disaster action team led by Franka also sent back news.

This operation went very smoothly. There was only a conflict with a private armed organization during the process. The other party was completely wiped out. They had completed the mining before several major families from Syracuse arrived.

Because of the accuracy of the intelligence, no one was injured in this operation, and the loot was very rich. Now the operation team is on its way back.

Inside the barbecue shop.

Xia Feng sat behind his desk and counted the number of finished Origin Stones so far.

Excluding the orders that need to be returned to customers, he now has more than 2,000 finished S-level source stones. When Franka and the others come back, the number will increase a lot.

Nancy said that there is still enough cash in the account. As long as the profits from the Notting City Chamber of Commerce flow in, it will be enough to pay for the purchase of the natural source stone cluster. In other words, he can stock up on goods.

Now these finished Origin Stones Xia Feng have no use, so according to the previous agreement, he can give priority to selling them to Yin Hui. At the same time, he also wants to discuss the second batch of raw materials and understand the current situation of Kjelag.

In the long run, he values ​​​​the relationship with Silver Gray. For him, the meaning of alliance is not just trade cooperation.

Kjerag possesses a characteristic that is unmatched by any country in the world.

That is, that small closed country where the snow never melts all year round will never be attacked by natural disasters.

Scientists in the world now have no generally accepted conclusion on this characteristic.

Some people say it's because of the climate.

Some people say it's because of altitude and certain molecules in the air.

And more people attribute this phenomenon to the gods enshrined in the Kalan Holy Mountain.

Because of the protection of the gods, the Kingdom of Snow will exist forever in this world devastated by natural disasters.
