Wicked documents
Chapter 94 – Informed and tacit understanding
After coming out of the big conference room, Bai Xinyue took the fire chain and the tail that followed abruptly——Mei Xi got into an off-road vehicle, and he just drove with a gloomy face, without saying a word on the road.
The speed of the car is not too slow, the speedometer shows an average of about [-] mph, but this distance is still going on.There are countless places to stay on the road, and various coffee shops and restaurants. If you want to rest or talk, these places are quite good choices.
However, Bai Xinyue didn't pay attention to any of them, she stepped on the gas pedal and hurried on without stopping.
In fact, to be more accurate, it's not that Bai Xinyue is picky, but that he knows very well that these places are not safe.The scope of the headquarters of the Demon Council is far beyond normal imagination. Within this huge scope, even if it is just a small shop selling postcards, outsiders will never see any clues, but it is actually an industry run by the Demon Council.
After more than an hour, the speed finally slowed down.Bai Xinyue turned the steering wheel, and the off-road vehicle turned into an alley. There were some small shops on both sides of the alley, and there were some vendors on both sides.The overall look is neither lively nor deserted, it is the most common kind of shopping street.
At the end of the alley there is a shop that looks like a coffee shop.To describe it as similar, it is because its decoration is a bit nondescript. The Chinese-style door beams are painted with red paint, but the door leaves below are embedded with stained glass in Western architectural style.The shop is very small, estimated from the outside, there can be at most four or five small tables inside, and even if all of them are full, it can accommodate at most twenty guests.
According to Meixi's original intention, she absolutely did not intend to say a word to Bai Xinyue, but at this moment she did not hold back, "Is there anything special about this coffee shop?"
"Nothing special." Bai Xinyue replied casually.At the same time, he turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance of the alley - it can be seen that his sullen face along the way was not because he was in a bad mood, but because he was on guard. "What we need most these days is this kind of humble place."
This is true, the more special the place, the easier it is for people to stare at it.
After staring at the alley for a full minute, Bai Xinyue concluded that there was nothing unusual.Only then did he push open the stained glass door of the coffee shop with his backhand, signaling others to go in quickly.
Just because there is no problem at this moment does not mean that there will be no problem forever.Bai Xinyue used driving instead of walking. This move undoubtedly left a very big target, which was extremely easy to be followed.However, Bai Xinyue had no better way. Just relying on her legs to walk was too slow, and she couldn't really leave the range of the headquarters until dark.By using transportation, you can at least make a time difference and deserve some breathing space.
There were other customers in the unremarkable cafe, but there was only one, sitting at the table closest to the bar. From this position, it was speculated that the man who was reading the newspaper should be a regular customer of this store.Bai Xinyue glanced at his face twice, thinking that she could ignore his existence.
The business that came suddenly made the boss very excited, "Welcome! What would you like to order? We have all kinds of coffee, light meals, oh, yes, there are freshly baked..."
Bai Xinyue waved her hand, interrupting the boss's chattering recommendations. "A pot of coffee. We'll be leaving soon."
In such a small place, it is impossible to pay attention to the taste of coffee, and the boss’s recommendation is just a casual talk. The so-called various coffees are most likely brewed in the same pot and then poured into different cups and served on the table. That's all.Bai Xinyue didn't want to order anything at first, but if they didn't consume, they would be kicked out by the boss.
I chose the innermost table, and the tasseled curtain hanging from the ceiling just isolated this corner into a relatively independent space.It was difficult to see the corner from the outside, and of course it was equally difficult to see what was going on outside.
Bai Xinyue and Huo Lian sat face to face, Meixi didn't want to be at the same table with Bai Xinyue, and stood beside her angrily, but no one paid any attention to her.
"I have reached a consensus with Wei Lin. He will remove your name from the blacklist of the Demon Committee. In this way, there will not be a separate team to hunt and kill you. However, the hunting season is very short. It's about to start, you still have to be more careful." Bai Xinyue looked into Huo Lian's eyes, the time was short so he spoke extremely fast, but every sentence and every word was very clear.
For someone like Bai Xinyue, who is so scheming, can he be open and honest in his life?What's more, this time he took the initiative to speak, which is really unbelievable.Moreover, his words were obviously already prepared, no matter what, he seemed to have planned to be honest with Huo Lian.
Although Mei Xi did not sit down, she listened very carefully.Hearing this, she couldn't help opening her eyes wide.Bai Xinyue publicly sided with Wei Lin, and at the same time promoted a hugely influential event. Under the huge sacrifice, he was just for such a trivial purpose?What a crazy approach!
The surging anger made Meixi forget her vow never to talk to Bai Xinyue again, her voice was sharp, completely forgetting that there is no sound insulation measures in this place, "You promoted the hunting season with your own hands, and now you are still hypocritical Make up for what? Removal from the blacklist? Don’t make me laugh! I understand, and you understand better, you wanted to destroy all monsters many years ago! Especially him—” Mei Xi pointed to Huo Lian, “You I can't wait to deal with it and then hurry up!"
Same as when she was seated just now, no one paid any attention to Mei Xi.However, even without any reaction, every sentence she uttered was so clear that only the deaf could not hear it.
"What do you want to ask?" Bai Xinyue said.He ignored everything around him and just asked Huo Lian.For the same question, if Mei Xi asked it, Bai Xinyue would naturally not answer a single word.And if Huo Lian also wants to understand these things, Bai Xinyue has no choice but to tell the whole story.
Huo Lian didn't speak for a long time. Despite the thousands of words, he still maintained an embarrassing silence, especially in the big conference room, and he tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.Now, he seems to be able to say whatever he wants without any restraint, but at this moment, Huo Lian realizes that speaking is actually not an easy task.
His whole body was stiff, especially his tongue, which seemed to be petrified, and he didn't listen to Huo Lian's command at all.
Shuangtian leaned over and touched Huolian's right hand hanging on the side with his head.How else can we say that animals are empathetic?Sometimes this kind of silent comfort is far better than human rhetoric.
The warmth on Ju Lang's body was really minimal, but Huo Lian had no choice but to desperately absorb this little bit of comfort.There is a table separated from Bai Xinyue, even if the table is not big, and it is not made of thick material, Huo Lian believes that he can kick it over with just a light kick.However, an obstacle is an obstacle, but it is still in front of you, and you can't turn a blind eye at all.
When they sat down before, was it a coincidence, or were the two of them subconsciously avoiding each other, which led to this face-to-face confrontation?It obviously happened just a moment ago, but Huo Lian couldn't recall what kind of mood he had when he chose the seat?
It's also possible that it's not that he can't recall, but that he doesn't want to think about it at all.
Reason should be what Huo Lian needs most right now.
What lies ahead is a huge mystery. Everyone who intervenes seems to have no intention of solving the mystery. On the contrary, they have to add a layer of fog to the puzzle before they are willing to stop.At this time, only absolute reason, like ice, can analyze this mystery, peeling off the cocoon bit by bit, revealing the core part.
Huo Lian also tried to recall every detail from the perspective of a bystander, and then assembled these fragments into a complete answer.After working hard many times, he soon found that he really couldn't do it.No matter which detail he cuts through, his thoughts will turn halfway and evolve in a direction of emotional intensity.
Any sentient creature, out of the instinct of self-preservation, will wrap the softest part of the heart in layers.But Huo Lian had a feeling at this moment that his inner armor had been peeled off layer by layer, exposing the softest and most vulnerable part.So no matter what he was thinking about, what kind of thinking method he used, the soreness and pain in his heart were constantly eroding his reason.
Forget it, if you are not sensible enough, you are not sensible enough.Huo Lian gave up forcing himself to do things that were impossible.The question that is a mixture of reason and emotion is so weird, but Huo Lian still asked, "You take the risk of putting all your eggs in one basket, what are your chances of winning?"
After asking, Huo Lian let out a long sigh of relief.Because he found that this turned out to be the only thing he wanted to ask.
Mei Xi, who was on the sidelines, blinked, obviously she didn't understand.It wasn't that she wasn't smart enough, even if the coffee room was full of insiders, none of them could figure out what Huo Lian was asking.
It can be seen that knowing and tacit understanding are two completely different things.
Who is the person who has a tacit understanding with the fire?Bai Xinyue.So he understood instantly.
If Bai Xinyue was surprised by Huo Lian's occasional acuity in the past, then his acuity this time made him a little scared.
It took a lot of effort to create such a conversation scene, but at this moment Bai Xinyue couldn't help but suspect that this was really unnecessary.There were obviously so many things that needed to be explained, but Huo Lian didn't ask anything else, only asked the one he couldn't answer the most.
At this moment, Bai Xinyue seriously suspected that Huo Lian had seen through his entire plan.
Many people said they understood Long live, but Bai Xinyue sincerely hoped that Huo Lian didn't know anything.He expected that he would be as aggressive as Mei Xi, and he had prepared enough reasons to convince Huo Lian.
Although Bai Xinyue didn't give a verbal answer, his untimely silence and furrowed eyebrows were already part of the answer.Huo Lian's eyes were a little heavy, they were still those golden pupils, but they were no longer radiant, like frozen ice crystals, clear and transparent. "I see. So don't expect me to do things according to your plan."
"Don't be willful." Bai Xinyue took off the square-frame glasses on the bridge of her nose and pressed her forehead.
Others don't understand Bai Xinyue's habits, but Huo Lian has lived under the same roof with him for a long time, so he naturally understands it.Except when sleeping, Bai Xinyue seldom takes off his glasses, this thing is like an indispensable layer of defense for him.In terms of exceptions, there are generally only two situations——
One is extreme peace of mind, such as when alone with the fire; and the other is extreme anxiety, such as now.
What responded to him was Huo Lian's cold snort.He also hoped that his attitude would be milder, but he couldn't help it, the man with glasses was too hated for his self-assertion.
When making the plan, Bai Xinyue of course envisioned various possibilities.He didn't expect that it would turn out to be the least likely situation, and at the same time, the situation he least wanted to see.Is it because his plan has too many loopholes?probably not.It's not that Bai Xinyue is overconfident. The furious Meixi is a good example. After seeing what he did with her own eyes, a reaction similar to Meixi's is only reasonable.
Although the time is not allowed, Bai Xinyue still tries to communicate with Huo Lian, "Do you remember what I said - the world of monsters today is not what I expected?"
Huo Lian's expression remained the same, it was still the mocking smile that wasn't a smile.He is such a guy who writes all his thoughts on his face, this time he was able to maintain a cold look of repelling people thousands of miles away for a long time, it can be seen that he is really angry. "Is it the world of monsters that you were looking forward to? Or the world of monsters that 'someone' was looking forward to?" He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "someone" with a deep meaning.
Bai Xinyue had never had a splitting headache like today, and he was finally sure that Huo Lian was [-]% intentional and only chose those questions that he couldn't answer.If this situation continues, Huo Lian will definitely intensify.
If possible, Bai Xinyue still hopes to maintain patience, but the quietly changing atmosphere tells him that there is no room for this anymore, and he already feels the danger is approaching. "The current situation is really bad, but it also gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, we can choose to do nothing, and it is not impossible to find a safe place to live in peace. But just give up for a long time. Your long-cherished wish, Huo Lian, are you really willing?"
Although Huo Lian turned his head away, his turbulent face proved that he had listened to all the words and was moved by them.
Bai Xinyue wanted to say something else, but unfortunately she really didn't have time.He took out a small thing from his pocket and stuffed it into Huo Lian's hand.
As for Mei Xi, who was standing on the side, she had completely given up trying to understand in the middle of the conversation between the two of them. She didn't have that tacit understanding, and she was an outsider who couldn't intervene in the space between the two of them. Still clouded and foggy.
However, thanks to her status as an outsider, Meixi noticed a detail. "Where's the coffee we ordered? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
She tore open the tasseled curtain abruptly, and then looked outside, her face changed in shock, "Where's the person?"
The customers who read the newspaper and the boss behind the counter have disappeared.Through the window, one could see the situation in the alley. The shops on both sides were closed, and no pedestrian could be seen.
The speed of the car is not too slow, the speedometer shows an average of about [-] mph, but this distance is still going on.There are countless places to stay on the road, and various coffee shops and restaurants. If you want to rest or talk, these places are quite good choices.
