"Azhe!"

Leslie suddenly rushed over, grabbed Rong Yuan's neck, and said cheerfully: "Anyway, I have nothing to do today, let me, a senior, take you to experience the style of our Leucas Ao!"

Rong Yuan put down the water glass in his hand and said, "Is that okay? What if there is a temporary task?"

"It's okay, there are so many people in the headquarters anyway!" Leslie said nonchalantly: "Besides, our Supervision Department is not like ordinary departments that work from [-] to [-], and the working hours are very free. When it's okay, as long as You can go out after applying with the first-level secretary.”

"Oh." Rong Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

He has been staying in the Ministry of Supervision, and some people who want to contact and test him have no chance.It's better to go out and see what the monsters and monsters are all about.

"great!"

Leslie cheered, turned around and ran to Ao Hengchuan to apply for permission to go out.Rong Yuan shook his head, and slowly tidied up all the things on his desk before following.

Recently, the Ministry of Supervision is indeed very quiet, and about half of the people have gone home. Anyway, their home is next to the headquarters, and even if they gather temporarily, it will take less than 2 minutes.

Leslie successfully obtained the permission to go out, but he also had to listen to a series of admonitions from Ao Hengchuan: For example, don't cause trouble recklessly like before, don't shout about the identity of the Supervision Department everywhere to avoid causing trouble, and don't patronize yourself Having fun and forgetting to take care of the newcomer Rong Yuan, even if you hide your identity, you can't lose face of the Supervision Department, etc.Leslie's eyes were almost rolling as the two left.

"Oh my god! Senior Ao Hengchuan is good at everything, but he is too wordy! My wife is too wordy! My head is about to explode!"

Leslie held her head and said, shaking, as if she had been hit hard.

Rong Yuan smiled, and asked curiously: "Why is senior Ao Hengchuan always at the headquarters? Doesn't he go home?"

Regardless of morning, afternoon, evening, weekdays or holidays, even if you go to the Supervision Department temporarily in the middle of the night, you can always see Ao Hengchuan.If one day he is not here, it must be on the way to the mission.He is like a sculpture who always sticks to the Ministry of Supervision, never rests, never slackens.

On the contrary, the chief executive, Todd, was always elusive, and he didn't know where he was. The closer to the chief executive's meeting, the harder it was to see him, and it was not easy for Rong Yuan to find him to discuss something.

Leslie's smile suddenly sank, he was quiet for a moment, sighed, and said, "Senior...has no family anymore."

"I heard that Senior Ao Hengchuan was not like this before. He used to have a wife and two daughters, and he had a carefree personality. Once, he was accidentally knocked off his mask while performing a mission. His true identity was exposed. It is said that there were only a few workers from the Military Department besides our own people from the Supervision Department. I thought it was nothing to do with it. But then... about half a year later, he took his family to the eighth floor Playing, ended up being blocked by dozens of people..."

Leslie was silent for a long time before continuing: "Senior's wife and daughter all died tragically in front of him, only he was lucky enough to come back with his life. Since then...he has never smiled again, and almost never Back home...he also became very verbose, always repeatedly emphasizing the safety regulations with us, and he has said the same thing thousands or tens of thousands of times..."

Rong Yuan looked back at the building of the Ministry of Supervision, the jade-white building, inlaid with some warm-colored painted bricks, looked quiet, beautiful and peaceful.

The people in this building all look powerful, fierce, and fearsome. In the eyes of outsiders, they are executioners with bloody hands and demons who spread death.But the people wrapped under that layer of black and red armor are actually ordinary people. As strong as they are on the outside, they are as fragile on the inside.It seems that everyone is afraid of them, but in fact, as long as their true identities are revealed, most of the people here will not live long unless they hide in the headquarters forever.

And the headquarters, which looked like the Garden of Eden to them, was actually the death sickle that could take their lives away at any time!

The identities, appearances, names, origins, family members and other information of everyone in the Supervision Department are under the control of Aoqi, that is, under the control of Mapu and Liuka. If they want everyone in the Supervision Department to live, they can let them live When you want them to die, you don't even need to do it yourself, as long as you release some of the information in your hand, you can ruin their family and make their life worse than death.

Rong Yuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.Leslie also fell silent because of thinking about Ok Hengchuan.

........................

The two of them took the elevator all the way to the eighth floor without a word, and as soon as they got out, the noise and heat wave hit us!

Outside the traffic management office on the eighth floor is a spacious street, which is crowded with almost no place to stand at this time.

A parade caravan is slowly passing through the street, and directly opposite is a float with a height of seven or eight meters, which is decorated with colorful lights. Hundreds of people in strange costumes, colorful masks, and Painted performers, they sing, dance, perform acrobatics, and guide the audience on both sides of the street to sway their bodies with them and raise their arms to cheer loudly.The crowd almost lost their minds due to the atmosphere. They surrounded the floats and walked forward, screaming from time to time almost penetrated the dome of this floor.

Before and after this float, there are countless floats forming an endless convoy.And almost every place on the street was crowded with people, as if all the people in Leucasao had come here.

Rong Yuan suddenly didn't want to go there, and unconsciously started to back up under his feet.But Leslie grabbed his arm and pushed his way through the crowd, waving his arms and screaming along with them with joy—

"Aphra—Aphra—Aphra—"

Rong Yuan looked up in the midst of his busy schedule, and saw a graceful girl like an elf standing on the top of the nearest float. She was wearing a bright garland and a long pure white dress. The skirt reflects the magnificent brilliance.

On the steps of the float below her, more than ten girls in white clothes danced lightly.And the girl named Aphra just stood there quietly with her eyes closed, holding her chest with her hands. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sang: "Ah—time is passing...the starry sky never changes ...It's not that it hasn't changed...sigh my life is too short..."

For a moment, it seemed as if a ray of light exploded in front of my eyes, and it seemed as if a bird rode the wind straight up, pierced the sky, and soared freely among the stars, hovering, circling, sprinting, and wandering. It flew with the hearts of everyone. wandering.

The clean and translucent voice, with powerful resonance and unparalleled penetrating power, even overwhelmed the screams and shouts of countless people, making everyone involuntarily sing, shout, and cry along with her singing, Laugh together, let out angry whoops and cathartic rants together!

Rong Yuan, who finally squeezed to the side of the street and stood against the wall, felt as if he had seen a large-scale cult scene where groups were hypnotized.

He looked at the girl singing on the top of the float, and at this moment, the girl's gaze fell on him.She looked at Rong Yuan, stretched out her arms and chanted, showing a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth.

Rong Yuan frowned slightly.

Aphra's float passed in front of him quickly, and drove away with a large crowd.Compared with the front, the floats at the back were much deserted. Although there were still many people, at least there was a gap between the crowd.

Rong Yuan found a relatively quiet restaurant, ordered a signature cocktail named Burbono, and waited for Leslie to calm down before looking for it.

"Huh? Mr. Mu Zhe? What a coincidence to see you here."

A voice sounded beside him, Rong Yuan looked up, and saw a familiar robot standing beside him holding his Burbno, with a happy expression on his face.

"Aheiruo?"

Rong Yuan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this robot on the third floor to be seen on the eighth floor again.

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Mu. I'm glad you still remember me." Ah Heiruo showed a big smile, and respectfully put Rong Yuan's cocktail on the table in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Rong Yuan couldn't help asking.

"Oh, because a carnival is being held on the eighth floor recently, the income of working here for a few days is worth working elsewhere for a month or two! So I'm here!"

——Is it true that robots have to work so hard to survive?

Ah Heiruo's chubby body bent down, and said, "It's a pleasure to serve you again, Mr. Mu Zhe, if you need anything, please ring the bell, and I will come right away."

"OK, thanks."

Watching the back of the little robot, Rong Yuan was also slightly happy.At this time, there may be millions of people flocking here on the eighth floor, and among the millions of strangers, I happen to meet someone I knew before... Well, robots, this kind of chance makes people feel that life is really wonderful.

While sipping the wine slowly, he looked at the crowded crowd outside the window. He seemed to be doing nothing, but in fact, he was thinking about it almost all the time—the situation of Leucasao, the special and dangerous situation that draws life force ability, the different personalities, attitudes, positions and abilities of several directors, the mysterious [-]th floor, and so on.

But this silence didn't last long, and was interrupted by a burst of laughter.Rong Yuan looked up, and saw a few adventurers sitting on a table not far away, eating and eating like no one else was around, some people patted the table and laughed, someone took off the short knife and slapped the table with a "boom" "Boom", just a few people made this quiet restaurant as noisy as a vegetable market.

The people on the surrounding tables looked at them with dissatisfaction, and someone called the waiter to find a way to quiet the adventurers.But within a few minutes, those adventurers played tricks on each other and made a fool of one of them, which made everyone in the restaurant laugh.The energy, confidence, candor, and enthusiasm of the adventurers was contagious, and soon the whole restaurant was cheered up by their presence.

adventurer...

Rong Yuan whispered to himself, lowered his eyes, and then turned his gaze out of the window.

In the parade outside the window, there seems to be another group of people—some are simple and honest, some are silent, some are cunning, some are open-minded, and some are cruel...

They walked past Rong Yuan one by one, some were running and jumping, some were walking swiftly, some were walking calmly, some were graceful, some were high-spirited, greeted each other, laughed and walked quickly.

The one who walked last was a young man with slightly curly black hair. He followed behind everyone with a smile on his face, but suddenly he turned his head and met Rong Yuan's eyes.

Then, he frowned, showing a bright and warm smile, waved his hand at Rong Yuan, turned around and walked further and further away with the others, his figure dissipated like bubbles in the illusory light.

Rong Yuan watched silently, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp!
