flying switch

"Follow the black cat?"

"Yes," [-] looked over, "my partner solved it."

Zhong Rong frowned suspiciously, holding the pitch-black pearl necklace in his hand, looking over and over again: "That's all?" He originally thought that the prompt to transfer would be more straightforward, "follow the black cat"?Are you serious?Moreover, "there are so many black cats," Zhong Rong thought of the cat that the jewelry man gave him for a while, "and there is also the player's ideology, which black cat should we go with?"

"Maybe it's just a hint to guide the way," [-] seemed to be in a good mood for some reason, "the real hint is actually still in the ruby."

Zhong Rong was thoughtful: "Ruby... Oh yes," he looked at [-], "You and your partner went to the auction to take away the ruby, didn't you? Have you also accepted the task?"

[-] shook his head and narrowed his eyes: "Nowadays most treasure hunters don't do it to complete the task, you know that?"

"For Feishu Company," Zhong Rong lowered his head, "I know."

Those wealth, money and elegance make people go on and on.He is in the team chasing money, but he doesn't want to rush forward.He stood among the crowd, looking at Jinshan in the distance, but didn't feel anything.Money wasn't enough to draw him in, something else, something else he'd been craving, was needed to make him fight for it.

[-] looked at him quietly, then raised his hand suddenly, gently supported his chin with his slender index finger and middle finger: "What are you thinking?"

[-]'s voice was very soft and pleasant to hear, Zhong Rong followed the strength of his fingers and raised his head. When he looked at him, he felt a little confused, and believed him subconsciously: "I was thinking...why do you work hard for the inheritance of Feishuo."

[-] put down his hands, his gray eyes were illuminated thoroughly: "Because I want to become rich."

Zhong Rong looked at him persistently: "What else?"

[-] smiled: "The process of treasure hunting is very attractive to me."

Zhong Rong stopped talking, he saw the magnanimity and passion in Jiu's eyes, and the fire continued to stretch forward, burning all the way to his heart.He was restless, and he didn't know where it came from: "...Really."

[-] put his hand down and asked him, "Don't you like the feeling of completing the task?"

Zhong Rong hesitated and nodded: "But I always feel..."

"not enough?"

"Yeah." Zhong Rong shook his legs, looked at the small streets and players under his feet, and was blinded by the high wind.

He and [-] are sitting on the roof of the tallest building on this street. There is no one here, and few people can come up. You don't have to worry about being attacked, and you can chat with peace of mind.The time in the game is almost the same as in reality. At this time, dusk has just arrived, and the wind and sunlight are very soft, sprinkled on his body, making him relax.

"I didn't know this place before," Zhong Rong murmured, "How did you find it?"

"I like high places," [-] looked into the distance, "I used to run to high places by myself when I was bored."

"Riding a motorcycle?"

"Well, the zero-gravity mode can rush up quickly."

Zhong Rong was silent for a moment: "The zero-gravity mode is really easy to use."

[-] laughed: "Yes."

Zhong Rong didn't answer, but turned his head to look at the sunset.The setting sun dyed the top floor red, and he stared at the shadow upstairs, suddenly feeling that this scene was very strange.

He and [-] didn't take off their masks, but they chatted comfortably.

Maybe it's [-]'s talent, Zhong Rong thought wildly.He felt that he was unusually relaxed staying next to [-], he could completely forget about other things, and his mind was empty.

"You are really suitable for undercover missions," Zhong Rong said with his back to [-], "You can easily let people off guard."

[-] sounds flattered: "Really?"

Zhong Rong was amused by his tone, and turned around: "Really."

[-] winked at him, joking deliberately: "Then I must try."

Zhong Rong felt that his mood had improved a lot, stood up straight, and stretched out his hand to [-]: "Let's go, let's go down."

[-] followed his pull and stood up: "Are you going to hand over the task?"

Zhong Rong nodded, and [-] said, "Then where do you want me to wait for you? Bar counter? Nautilus?"

Zhong Rong was taken aback: "Do you want to wait for me?"

"Of course, we can look for the black cat together," Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "Or do you still have something to do after handing over the task?"

"No," Zhong Rong stepped on the skateboard, took out the eyepiece, "follow me."

"Okay, sir," [-] stepped on the motorcycle and saluted Zhong Rong with his fingers together, "Let's go."

The alley bar has changed to a retro electronic dance music, and there are many more excited players in the dance hall.Zhong Rong scanned them, trying to find the black cat. [-] followed behind him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him backward.

Zhong Rong's back bumped into Jiu's chest, he was taken aback: "What?"

[-] didn't speak, raised his hand to block a certain catwoman's tail, and Zhong Rong noticed her obviously innocent eyes.Seeing that her tail was blocked back, Catwoman showed a clear expression, blew a kiss to Zhong Rong, then turned and walked towards other players.

Zhong Rong felt something was wrong: "Did she misunderstand something?"

"Really?" [-] didn't seem to care, "Which private room are you going to?"

"Let me see," Zhong Rong checked the system prompt, "[-]."

"Then you go, I'll wait for you at the bar." [-] patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the bar where there were not many vacant seats.Zhong Rong stared at his back and didn't move for a while. [-] has a very strange ability. When the focus is not on him, he can be silent in the crowd, but if you pay attention to him, he will stand out in the crowd, making people unable to look away .

Zhong Rong inexplicably felt that this ability was very familiar, or simply put, he felt that [-] made him feel very familiar.

Maybe they met on a mission before?

Zhong Rong shook his head, stopped thinking about things, and walked towards private room [-].The entire private room is different from No. [-] last time, it is illuminated by blue and purple neon lights.Zhong Rong turned off the system notification, took off the goggles, and sat on the sofa.While waiting for the handover person to come, I remembered the necklace reminder that [-] said.

Follow the black cat.Why a cat and why not a dog?The shadow of being scratched by the jewelry man's pet cat last time has not completely disappeared.

[System prompt: Your task handover object chooses anonymous transactions.You can put the handover items into the item storage box in the private room and leave first. 】

[System prompt: An anonymous player transfers [-] future coins to you]

Zhong Rong saw that there were a lot of gold coins and equipment in his inventory, raised an eyebrow, and waited for a while for the item storage box that popped up automatically before taking out the ruby ​​and putting it in.

There was untouched liquor on the bar, Zhong Rong sat down beside [-]: "Wait with me for a while."

Something is not right.He has never seen an anonymous player who sends all the bonuses first, and most of them pay first and then pay the final payment.Besides, this is a treasure gem that most people think it is. Isn't the person who sent the mission afraid that this gem is fake or that it will be taken away by someone else?Although taking things from the item storage box requires a password randomly generated by the system, only the mission initiator will have it, but isn't that person afraid of something in case?

Zhong Rong turned sideways, facing [-], and stared at the door of private room [-] from the corner of his eye: "I sent you the money."

[-] played with the mouth of the cup: "Well, you seem to have given too much?"

"It's not much, I left the props, so naturally I'll give you some more money." Zhong Rong glanced at Jiu's wine glass, "Aren't you going to drink?"

"No. I don't want to take off my mask. Would you like a drink? I can buy you a drink."

"I don't want to take off the mask either."

Zhong Rong and [-] chatted one after another, and a woman dressed in punk emerged from the dance floor at the other end.She looked around, as if looking for someone.Zhong Rong leaned against the bar counter, letting himself hide in Jiu's shadow, avoiding the woman's eyes. After a while, he looked again, and the curtain of the private room was raised and lowered, shaking violently at this time.

Zhong Rong's eyes sank: "Let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, [-] suddenly pushed the wine glass away, stood up and looked in the direction of the door: "We should go."

Zhong Rong looked up at him: "But..."

[-] put on the eyepiece, and blocked his serious gaze: "Hint."

Zhong Rong watched as [-] ran out of the bar first, and after deciding between the door and the private room for a while, he followed [-].He chased after the fluttering white hem, followed by [-].It seems that [-] has found something related to the prompt, which is about...

A dark figure flashed across a certain alley, and Zhong Rong's eyes lit up.

black cat!

The black cat ran so fast that Zhong Rong, who had good dynamic eyesight, struggled to catch its figure.With a "tsk", he immediately put on the eyepiece, threw out the skateboard and stepped on it: "[-]! Motorcycle!"

[-] received his reminder, and not long after Zhong Rong stepped on the skateboard and flew out, it turned into a silvery white light and followed him.Zhong Rong's speed increased, and the black cat's figure became clear. He clearly saw the black cat turn its head several times, as if it was looking for something.But its speed didn't slow down, probably because it didn't find the person it was looking for.

Zhong Rong remembered the reminder of the necklace, and became more and more convinced that the cat was the one mentioned in the reminder.

[-]'s motorcycle speeded up to catch up with him.Zhong Rong turned his head sideways: "It is it!"

[-] nodded: "Pay attention to the road! Let's split up."

As the wind whizzed by, Zhong Rong made a right turn and followed the black cat out of the narrow alley to another deep alley.This is roughly an entertainment area, with realistic commercial signs from high to low, all kinds of overwhelming, but in the chase, they are all troublesome roadblocks.The red light came on, and the blue light tail from the skateboard swept across the smoky window. Zhong Rong bent down, curled up like a newborn baby, grabbed the skateboard with his fingers, jumped up hard, and passed several times at a very high speed. The narrow gap between the neon signs.

The black cat slid gracefully, passed three or two signboards, and dexterously climbed along the last signboard with a height of three people to a high place. For some reason, it paused for a few seconds before jumping out.

Zhong Rong quickly stood up straight, raised his hand to reach the bottom of the signboard, and rushed to the signboard while turning on the weightless mode of the skateboard, rushing towards the direction of the black cat.

He stopped where the black cat had stopped, and looked towards the place where the black cat had disappeared.There is an old nightclub, which seems to have been opened by a gang. It has not been updated for a long time, and it still maintains the outdated style of the early game.Zhong Rong looked around and saw no guests. He began to wonder if this place had been deserted for a long time.

Won't the game administrator come and take it down?Or is it that the gang didn't disband or go bankrupt, they just didn't bother to run the place.

[-]'s motorcycle also followed the roof all the way to Zhong Rong's side. [-] didn't take off the eyepiece, turned his head and looked down: "You have an extra tail."

Zhong Rong's pupils shrank: "Did you see it?"

When he entered the first alley, he had a vague feeling of being stared at. At first he thought it was [-], but when [-] left his side, the feeling still existed, so he kept an extra eye on his back. , but he still couldn't see the stalker.The numbness in the back of his head fluctuated from strength to strength, and Zhong Rong became vigilant.The stalker made him feel so uncomfortable but he couldn't find him. His ability is not low. If he has evil intentions, he may have a tough battle to fight.

"Yeah, I see," [-] replied, "in roller skates with purple neon lights on them."

Zhong Rong took out his knuckles and put it on: "The cat disappeared in the nightclub area. Go find the cat, and I'll get rid of the tail first."

After speaking, regardless of [-]'s reaction, he turned his head and jumped from the sky.The skateboard rushed out a few meters obliquely, and the airflow rubbed against it, almost sparking.He made a sudden U-turn, and the blue light of the skateboard stayed in the air and turned into a semi-arc, with an extended straight line, forming a U that was constantly stretched.

Zhong Rong couldn't see the stalker, but the numbness in the back of his head became stronger and stronger.He imprinted the obstacle terrain in front of him in his mind, and simply closed his eyes to let his intuition lead the way.

In front, is it left, right or above?

Is it the place on the left, where on the left, inside and outside the building?

Is it outside the building, on the ground or in mid-air, where is it hidden?

The numbness in the back of his head made his hairs stand on end. Zhong Rong suddenly opened his eyes, facing the big green signboard, which seemed to be a certain chess and card room.Zhong Rong remembered it, and behind it was the smoky window with the red light on.

He clenched his knuckles, popped out the blade, jumped up the upright skateboard, and swung his fist like a stalker in the smoke.
