Shanhai Pet Shop

An excellent way to measure the attack power of an individual weapon is whether it can penetrate the scales of the beast.

——"Top Secret!Individual weapons! "

Ye Yao's butt was resting on the soft cushion of the high stool. He was facing the tall wine cabinet. The wine cabinet was about 2.5 meters long. Above that was a Sicilian-style chandelier. At night, the man-made crystals reflected dazzling brilliance. The darker tone is warm orange, and the soothing music helps people sitting in front of the bar to relax physically and mentally, and feel the unique tranquility at night.

I don’t know what kind of expensive wood the wine cabinet is made of, but looking at the rows of foreign wines on the shelves that he can’t name, he naturally has the illusion that the wine is expensive, and even fantasizes that the bar counter is an antique two centuries ago. Perhaps once used by the nobles of Italy and Spain?

Although he is a big drinker who does not get drunk, he lacks the interest that young people should have in alcohol. Even if it is drinking, according to Ye Yao's taste, he would rather drink Harbin beer from a roadside barbecue stall than lick a sip of fine salt sprinkled by a tiger's mouth Then drink tequila, that doesn't suit him too well.

If he really wanted to choose one kind of foreign wine, he would rather have some Tetris made with Baileys, of course not as a drink, but as a kind of sweet drink.

Ye Yao glanced at Qiongqi who was sitting next to him. Although he said to break up in the afternoon, in fact it was just talking. He suspected that he had signed an unbreakable oath with Qiongqi, or something like that, otherwise why did he keep talking about it before? All contracts?

Ye Yao decided to believe in Harry Potter from today. JK Rowling may have just strayed into Diagon Alley and wrote classic adult fairy tales. Wizards really exist, just like the strange beasts he met, they just don’t appear in In front of ordinary people.

Is there any way to hide from everyone's vision?He thought of Qiongqi flying in the sky in the afternoon, and went to Weibo to find out if anyone had witnessed a monster flying in the sky. Of course, there was nothing. Maybe the strange beast had a way to make certain people see them existence, like an invisible plane?

He swung the ice water in the glass, thought it over and said to the man beside him whose face was full of non-violence and non-cooperation: "If there is anything, you can tell me directly. Considering that in the afternoon, besides explaining to me what is Venus One And you didn't say anything other than why I'm a wanted man—"

"Didn't you say that you were open and honest before? I've already told you what I know, and you should also tell what you know. Even if it's the most superficial, at least I have to know a little bit about your world."

Qiongqi's handsome face was as cold as an iceberg, and he didn't say a word. After listening to Ye Yao's request, he stood up silently, pushed his stool into the groove, and ran to nowhere.

Ye Yao:? ? ?

He really hated the other party's habit of running away without saying a word.

Suddenly, Ye Yao heard a mature female voice coming from behind: "Don't force him, if you want to get along with Qiongqi for a long time, you must know that every pore of him is full of self-esteem, let him admit his failure And the transfer of ownership to others is not an easy task, it is his limit to bring you to find someone to explain, but there is still an older baby who needs care in his heart."

When Ye Yao saw the speaker clearly, his heart beat suddenly became stronger, and he could almost hear the sound of "plop plop". These days, there are many artificial beauties, but there is also someone who is one of the four great magic arts. Japanese make-up and Chinese ps, whether it is two-dimensional beauties or three-dimensional beauties, emerge in endlessly. Although the standard face is a bit stereotyped, I have to admit that the face is really good-looking. The above-mentioned experiences belonging to modern society let him read thousands of sails. The beauties I have seen are countless.

Except for the one in front of him, Ye Yao knew for the first time what it means to be a beauty whose bones are not skinned.

The big sister in front of me has a good image and temperament, and her beauty is extremely aggressive. She is an amazing beauty that will never be forgotten after seeing it once.

Ye Yao said: "I am Ye Yao."

The beautiful sister said: "Su Daji, the owner of this shop."

Hearing the name, Ye Yao's brows trembled: "That Su Daji in the list of gods?" He didn't doubt the identity of the other party, the beautiful sister did have the potential to make the country and the city, and he could know a beast of Qiongqi's level. , must also be old monsters who have lived for many years, he was just surprised, what is wrong with these ancient Chinese mythological monsters, some go to open pet shops, some go to foreign bars, and the degree of integration into society is higher than that of humans.

The beautiful sister said: "That's why I said that my name is recognizable. Anyone who watched the TV series "Feng Shen Bang" in the 80s knows me." She looked at Ye Yao with a half-smile and said: "Just call me Sister Su, I don't like being called by others every day." It's called Daji, and this name seems to have become synonymous with disaster for the country and the people."

Ye Yao nodded and called out to Sister Su.

Su Daji poured herself a glass of ice water: "I'm thinking about where to start. You told Qiongqi that you have obtained the ownership of the store, and today he found out that you still have the Book of Mountains and Seas in your hand."

Ye Yao listened to his ears and thought, as expected, Qiongqi didn't mention a word about Venus One, he said: "Yes, do these two things have any effect? ​​I heard Qiongqi talk about the contract several times, and it should be related to them .”

"It's not wrong to say that it's a contract. To put it seriously, it should be a contract of prostitution." The beautiful sister said, "Do you know "Natsume's Book of Friends?"

Ye Yao nodded.

"That's much easier to explain, "Shan Hai Jing", no matter what form the book you get, as long as it is a paper book instead of a kindle, it is the same carrier as the account of friends, and the monsters that appear on the book are all Under your restraint, most of them are in the pet shop, Qiongqi will take care of them, this is one of the contracts."

Ye Yao said: "But it seems that they were not voluntarily bound in the Book of Mountains and Seas? Yuhu tried to let me liberate him before, of course they have been arrested now, wouldn't it be better to let them go?"

Su Daji took a sip of water: "You can ask Qiongqi, but I believe he will not tell you that it is a good idea to let them go. Those bound contracts were signed many years ago, but after the signing, the carrier It’s all in your hands, there is a reason for restraint, and there are benefits to letting them outside, of course you can make your own decision, as to whether to liberate them, I just suggest you ask Qiongqi’s opinion first.”

Ye Yao secretly wrote down Su Daji's words, and he continued: "Then the contract between me and Qiongqi is also the same as the contract with the strange beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas? I mean, when he met me for the first time, he exclaimed My master or something."

"puff--"

Su Daji was about to choke to death by icy water. If that was the case, she would probably become the most disgraceful death of a well-known big demon in all time.

"Ahem, did he really call you master?" The first question after he took a breather had nothing to do with what he said before. Ye Yao felt that it was not a good idea to continue this topic, so he was noncommittal. Say yes and no no.

"Of course the contract he signed is different from those strange beasts in Shan Hai Jing, and you probably didn't see his picture in the book?" Su Daji continued after seeing Ye Yao nodding, "If I really want to say, in fact, he signed The treaty is more stringent. I heard that monsters bound in Shan Hai Jing have an agreed time limit, just like human beings working for a certain company for 20 years. Although their working time is a bit long, as long as they reach a certain time You can break free from the contract naturally."

Ye Yao felt quite wrong after hearing this: "Isn't it Qiongqi's contract?"

Su Daji said: "Since I knew him, he has been serving Shanhai Pet Shop. Of course, it was not called that name at that time, and the shop was not in Confucius Temple. I guess he may have accepted a certain condition and became an affiliate of the shop. Part of a virtual thing that can only do the same job for an almost infinite amount of time."

She shrugged: "Of course, this is all my guess. If I guess right, congratulations. After signing the store transfer agreement, you now not only own a store, but also have a loyal clerk. This is not the same as selling yourself." Che is no different."

Ye Yao was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "I have to make a phone call."

Even though it's late now, the timing is very, very inopportune.

Su Daji said: "Please go ahead."

Ye Yao walked out of the bar in two steps in three steps. Outside was the big disc of the Drum Tower. Su Daji's shop was in the Zifeng Building, one of Nanjing's landmark buildings. It is said that this is the tallest building in Nanjing. Of course, her shop is not a high-end cloud The restaurant is on the highest floor, but on the first floor. It is a Spanish restaurant, and the bar is the main job.

He is calling his grandpa. Although he knows that it is not good to disturb the old man's sleep in the middle of the night, he is eager to know why his grandpa has such a wonderful store, even though he doubts whether his grandpa will use a mobile phone, to be honest He was shocked enough just receiving the package before, and he thought it was a courier delivered by his grandfather's neighbor.

"beep--"

Eternal busy.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the orange flames flickering in the distance. The small one should be the flame from the cigarette end when the cigarette was lit. Ye Yao knew that it was Qiong Qi who was relaxing outside.

He returned to the Spanish restaurant, and found that Su Daji had made herself a glass of tequila, or the lemon, salt and wine drinking method that Ye Yao complained about when he entered the bar.

"What else do you want to know?" The glamorous Daji said to him, "I've already told you what Qiongqi didn't want to say."

Ye Yao said: "He brought me a document yesterday. Regarding the rented shop, I saw a drop of coagulated blood on it. He said it was an ink spot."

Su Daji said: "That's my idea for him, to take advantage of the loopholes in the contract and use his own blood."

No wonder Qiongqi's attitude was very polite at that time. Compared with their previous and subsequent interactions, Ye Yao said again: "CSS, what happened to the group of fully armed soldiers who got off the helicopter gunship that Qiongqi knew?"

Su Daji said: "I don't need to answer you. When you go to sign the confidentiality agreement, they will definitely find someone to introduce to you. It must be more detailed than me."

Ye Yao hesitated and asked the last question that was lingering in his mind: "I think they have everything on them, guns, bombs on the armed helicopters, and PRR radio stations. The equipment of that group of people is enough for them to go to the battlefield in Afghanistan to go to San Francisco. Gold fight."

Su Daji asked with a half-smile, "So what do you want to ask?"

Ye Yao said: "If I can't take Shuhu back, will they do it? I mean those hot weapons and cold weapons can hurt monsters?"

Su Daji burst out laughing: "You are such a cute little baby."

Ye Yao frowned.

"Do you know what the group of people in the CSS said the most?" She imitated it perfectly, "The way to measure the attack power of an individual weapon is whether it can penetrate the scales of alien beasts."

"This is why modern humans are still the kings of the earth. We may have some magical powers, but they have high technology. Believe me baby, the power of technology is much more powerful than you can imagine."
