Star Iron: I picked up a secretary at the beginning of March 7th

Timeline: Before Hualin came to the city.

District 23, in the back kitchen of a relatively dilapidated restaurant.

A charming girl in an orange kimono, who is completely out of tune with the dirty environment around her, is standing here. But what is a bit disharmonious is that in the girl's hand, she is holding a samurai sword that is still dripping blood. Knife, and at her feet were several "chefs" lying on the ground.

Girl (picture).

"Tsk, I don't know if he is dead..." The girl half-squinted her eyes, kicked a "chef" next to her, and said with some disgust.

Under the dim light, the girl's lavender eyes and her skin as white as jade were vaguely visible.

The girl looked at the chefs on the ground and thought for a long time. Finally, she sighed and turned around to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, several "chefs" quickly climbed up from the ground, holding knives in their hands and pointing them at the girl's neck.

At the same time, the girl seemed to feel something, quickly turned around with the knife, and slashed towards her back.

The next moment, blood splattered everywhere.

The girl calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her face. At the same time, she sighed helplessly and said to herself: "Oh, I know, I did it on purpose."

"If they don't sell some flaws, how can they reveal their flaws?"

"This is what you taught me, my dear Mr. System."

[Hmm...I don't know how to evaluate you at the moment. ]

"That's the best~"

After saying that, the girl hummed a pleasant tune, walked lightly around the corpses on the ground and the still flowing blood, and came to a large iron door that was locked with several large locks.

"Well...this should be the goal of this commission, right? System, where is my reward?"

[Ding——Checking...]

[Check failed. ]

[Conclusion: Delegation failed. Reason: The entrusted target died. ]

"Ah? How is that possible? I've come so early." The girl looked in disbelief, and then she wielded a knife and cut open the locks on the iron door one by one.

"Squeak-yah-"

As the girl pushed open the big iron door, the dilapidated iron door made a harsh friction sound, and there was also a movement inside the iron door.

"Huareng——"

"Who?"

Hearing the noise coming from the room, the girl clenched the handle of the knife and became alert, but...

"No...don't kill me, I don't taste good..."

A white-haired girl covered her face and kept shrinking into the corner. She kept muttering words such as "Don't eat me" and "I don't want to die" in her mouth. The chains on her hands and feet also made a "wow" sound. Wow" sound.

"Tsk, what the hell." The girl frowned and complained impatiently, "The commission goal is not to rescue the young master who was caught in a nest in the XX restaurant in Lane 23. Where is the person?"

[What do you think is cooking in the pot behind you? ]

"(Urban swear word)" the girl yelled irritably, causing the trembling white-haired girl in the corner to shrink further into the corner.

"Huh?" Noticing the movement of the girl in the corner, the girl turned to ask her, "Hey, what's your name and where are you from?"

"I...my name is Ye..." Ye looked at the girl in horror. Only then did the girl notice that Ye was naked.

"Well...my name is Cangzhu, you...where is your home?" Cangzhu tried his best to keep his tone gentle, but he sounded a little hesitant.

"I don't know...my parents are dead." Ye lowered his head and choked back, "We...we were surrounded by a group of people who looked very... .very nice people brought here but...but the next second they killed...killed my parents."

"Now, I'm the only one left."

"...Don't move." The girl said calmly, and at the same time she clenched the katana in her hand. This move frightened Ye, and the chains on her hands and feet made a louder sound.

"...It's so noisy! Don't move! I want to rescue you!" The girl was really annoyed by the noise. When Ye saw the gentle sister in front of him suddenly getting angry, his first reaction was to treat it as a The "chefs" who brought her here made her even more panicked and struggled even harder, without even listening to the girl's words.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome." The girl grabbed Ye's jade feet and then swung her knife to chop off the chain that locked Ye's ankles, but...

"Boom-"

"(urban expletive)"

The girl's tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and even her own knife left slight marks. The girl was so angry that she cursed, then turned to look at the trembling Ye and asked: "Um...Ye, do you know this?" Where is the key to the gadget?”

"No... I don't know." Seeing that the girl wanted to help him, Ye also stopped his panic movements, but his body still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome." The girl frowned a little irritably, thinking about a countermeasure.

[So why don't you come and ask me? ]

The sound of the system suddenly sounded, and then the katana in the girl's hand transformed into a machete that was taller than herself.

Ye was startled by the sudden appearance of the machete, and a hint of surprise flashed across the girl's face, but it was quickly covered up.

"Don't move." The girl took a deep breath, then slashed hard, cutting half of the chain that locked Ye.

"Well... do you still have somewhere to go?" The girl turned to look at Ye and asked, but the latter just looked at herself and shook her head in panic.

"Hey, my name is Cangzhu. Why don't you...come with me?" Cangzhu glanced at Ye who was trembling and silent, and asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Ye just nodded, and then watched Cang Zhu's every move, waiting quietly.

"...Let's go." Glancing at the machete in his hand, Cangzhu seemed to understand why Ye was afraid of her.

After putting away the knife, Cang Zhu looked at the chains tightly locked on Ye's hands and frowned: "Forget it, I'll find Eric later to help you."

"Come on, follow me."

"Well...thank you, Cangzhu...sister."

"Sister...that's a nice title. Do you want to be my sister?"

"younger sister......"

"I am an orphan just like you. I know how tiring it is to live."

"Um......"

"Then take it as your promise, sister Cangye."

"Um...ok."

Cang Zhu held Cang Ye's hand tightly and left this disgusting place.

......

"Eric, is she okay?"

"Whose standards do you use to make it okay?"

"Of course they are normal people." Cangzhu looked at the stunned scientist in front of him with a headache and complained, "Not everyone has the money to undergo enhanced surgery."

"I have long forgotten the standards of normal people, but..." Eric stopped what he was doing, looked at Cang Zhu and said faintly, "Do you want to join my research? I promise you after......"

"Hey, hey, let's stop here. Let me reiterate, we are just a cooperative relationship. It is limited to you taking the money and information, and I will do the work, understand?" Cangzhu said, taking a step back silently, and talking to the crazy person in front of him. Scientists keep their distance.

"Okay, the girl is fine, but what about the boy?" Eric turned around and continued to operate the instrument, and at the same time asked Cangzhu, "The client gave him hundreds of thousands of eyes, but you didn't bring them back?"

"No, I'm late." Cang Zhu looked at Cangye in the instrument and said with complicated emotions, "She was the only one left when I went there. The young master... was probably cooking in the pot. , or has been sold.”

"...Okay." Eric pointed at Cangye in the instrument and said impatiently, "Take her away."

"...Goodbye." Cang Zhu looked at Eric's back and felt something was strange, so he had to leave with Cang Ye quickly.

Not long after Cangzhu left with Cangye, Eric laughed crazily: "Hahahaha, it's gone, my work is gone... Since it's gone, let Cangzhu do it. Let’s take his place…”

......

"Here we are."

In front of a relatively dilapidated three-story small foreign-style building, Cang Zhu and Cang Ye came here.

Cang Ye was still wearing a white coat that had just come from Eric's laboratory, but due to the height difference, the lower half of the white coat was already dirty on the ground.

"here it is......"

"Cang's office is also our home." Cang Zhu took out the key, opened the door skillfully, and then entered the office in a flash, and then...

"Bang——, bang——"

As soon as Cang Zhu entered, he closed the door tightly with his backhand, leaving Cang Ye alone standing there in a daze.

Cang Ye was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening. He knocked on the door frantically and shouted, "Cang...Sister Cang Zhu! I'm still outside!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Cangzhu quickly opened the door, looked at Cangye with an embarrassed face and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to living alone, and my muscle memory caused me to subconsciously enter and close the door. I really didn't mean it."

"No...it's okay." Cang Ye followed Cang Zhu into the house, a home where she would always have a place.

As soon as you enter the house, you can see the layout of the entire room at a glance: in front of a faded leather sofa is a low coffee table, with leftovers of food that have been there for an unknown period of time; on the other side is a short coffee table filled with food. There is a desk with various documents, and behind it there is a messy small bookshelf.

This is all the items on the first floor.

"Well... I'm sorry, this place is a bit small." Cangzhu scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Just turn left when you go out of the bathroom. The second floor is a resting place. Well... there is a wardrobe there. , you can wear my clothes first, the third floor is the utility room, there is nothing interesting to see."

"Why don't you go upstairs first and change some clothes."

"Um...thank you."

......

"Congratulations, Cangye, for becoming a finisher."

"Well...I also want to thank you for your help, sister."

"Hey, that's what you said. Come on, your sister, I'll take you to eat something delicious. Our family just opened a shop. The platters there are very delicious, and the green onion pancakes are also good."

"Well, thank you sister."

A few minutes later, Cang Zhu took Cang Ye to a tavern.

Although it is a newly opened restaurant and Cang Zhu brought it here personally, the moment Cang Ye stepped into the restaurant, memories of the past came one after another, giving Cang Ye a headache and nausea.

"...Cangye?...Cangye!"

Cang Zhu's anxious voice suddenly came, and Cang Ye woke up: "Are you okay? I saw that your face was pale and your breathing was short of breath just now. Did you...remember what happened before?"

"Well...sister, I'm sorry, I..."

"Okay Cangye, I should be the one who should say sorry." Cangzhu took Cangye's hand and led him out of the tavern, and said softly, "I blame my lack of consideration. I just wanted to bring you to taste it." Try the food here. You wait here, I’ll order the food, and we’ll take it home to eat.”

"Ah."

After Cang Ye settled down, Cang Zhu went into the tavern again to order food. At the same time, the voice of the system also came over:

[Host, I have news for you. ]

"Huh? Let's talk about it." Cangzhu just sat down and was about to order, and then...

[I gotta go. ]

"what?"

Cangzhu stood up excitedly, startling the waiter next to her: "Miss, please don't make any noise."

"Huh? Ah! Sorry, I want a green onion pancake and a platter to take away."

Cangzhu said embarrassedly, and then interrogated the system:

"What are you doing? Why are you leaving?"

[Literally, but I'll be back. ]

"Oh - I was shocked. I thought you were going to abandon me."

[right. ]

"Um?!"

Cangzhu almost stood up excitedly again, but luckily she restrained herself and didn't attract the attention of the people around her.

[Okay, okay, you have grown up, and I will come back. ]

"Huh? Where are you going?"

[Go find the next host. You will meet him soon. He is a boy. Remember to adopt him, Sister Cangzhu. ]

"Eh?! Wait!"

No matter how Cangzhu calls the system, she is greeted with silence.

This made Cangzhu think back to the beginning again:

The day she came to the city for the first time.

Yes, Cangzhu is also a time traveler, but she is a time traveler. The parents of the owner of this body passed away on the first day she came to the city, leaving her only some money and a family of her own. Office.

"Miss, your meal is ready."

The waiter's words brought Cangzhu back from his memories. Cangzhu was stunned for a moment, then he accepted it with a smile and took Cangye towards home.

It was getting dark and foggy.

The smoke shrouded the trees, making people take the wrong path.

The remaining wind gently shook the trees, losing their early autumn red color.
