Zeng Ce was stunned for two seconds, and then he covered his stomach and burst out laughing wildly, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. He laughed until the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and tears overflowed from his eyes.Arched waist, out of breath.

It took Zeng Ce a long time to catch his breath, and the smile on his face did not fade: "I said little beauty, how dare you say that our Captain Sheng is a straight man. No, he can't be called a straight man at all, he is a straight man at all. An asexual, killing people makes him feel more happy than sleeping with women."

"I'm not lying." Xia Xi pursed her lips and said seriously.

Zeng Ce grabbed Xia Xi's slender wrist: "Okay, don't be so stubborn, for the sake of the joy you brought me, I won't pursue your lies and offenses. The energy on you is very good for me, you Be good, huh?"

Xia Xi patted Zeng Ce's hand away: "I'm really from Shengbai, you can take me to ask him if you don't believe me."

Zeng Ce stopped laughing, and his expression gradually turned cold: "Enough is enough, if you play too many jokes, it won't be funny anymore."

Xia Xi didn't have the slightest intention of stopping: "Take me to see Sheng Bai, why, Mr. Zeng dare not?"

Zeng Ce really didn't dare, he kicked on the wall next to Xia Xi a little irritably, and made a heavy muffled sound: "You are crazy but I am not crazy, Master Sheng Bai is in a bad mood these days, at this time You were an eyesore in the past, do you know what happened to you?"

Xia Xi looked at Zeng Ce fearlessly, as if he didn't take the other party's warning to heart: "Tell me?"

Zeng Ce's pupils retracted slightly, and there was instinctive fear in his tone: "He will kill you! He will chop you into charcoal with thunder and fire, and even I will be implicated when the time comes."

Xia Xi still took it for granted: "Sheng Bai will not hurt me, but if you touch me, you will be punished."

Zeng Ce was a little undecided, Sheng Bai was in the expedition team at this time, as long as he brought someone to see Sheng Bai, he would know if it was true or not.Xia Xi's lie is easy to expose, but he said it so confidently and naturally.

Is it true?Zeng Ce hesitated to think about it, and then denied his idea.

"Did you make a bet that I dare not go to the Sheng team for confirmation, and deliberately deceive me here?"

Zeng Ce thought he had seen through Xia Xi's tricks: "Even if Sheng Bai really likes men, and secretly finds a beautiful lover. With his temperament, he must keep people firmly by his side, and it is impossible for you to be outside Luan Huang, and was caught by my people. Besides, my subordinates have investigated your information, didn’t you come to Jingting City only three days ago? How can you get in touch with the Sheng team?”

"We met outside." Xia Xi recalled pretendingly: "At that time, I didn't know his identity, but I just thought he was a powerful supernatural being. When I found out his identity, I couldn't accept it for a while, so I left Yes. This time I came to Jingting City, I just wanted to join my cousin, and didn't want to disturb him. But..."

Xia Xi paused for half a second just right, then sighed softly, and regretted, "If I had known that I would end up in this situation, I might as well have left with him from the beginning."

Zeng Ce narrowed his eyes: "Do you think I'll believe you if you make up a story?"

"I can attest to that. When he...was with me, he once mentioned that they've been looking for someone."

"Who?"

"The Lord of Chasing Light, Zhao Mo."

Zeng Ce was really surprised.Although the matter of arresting Chaomo is not absolutely confidential, it is something that only a small circle of people know about. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary young man with no background in the old city to say it casually.

Even if he told Xia Xi this information, Zeng Ce couldn't let him stay here. If he was really Sheng Bai's lover, it would be fine. If not, he would torture this person to find out where he got the information from. , to dig out.

Not far from the villa where Xia Xi lives is the office building of the expedition team. The lights on the top floor are always on all the year round. Everyone in the team knows that Sheng Bai is a workaholic. He has almost no private life. It is murder.

The office on the top floor has opened up a whole floor, and the whole room is exquisitely furnished, tall crystal chandeliers, soft woven carpets, and various antique ornaments decorate the whole room with magnificence, it looks like a banquet hall.

But the owner here doesn't care about these redundant decorations. At this time, he is sitting behind his large desk, leaning forward slightly, looking at his deputy team with oppression, and asking in a dangerous tone: "The city is closed. Five days have passed, you tell me he hasn't heard anything from Chaomo?"

The deputy team wiped off the cold sweat from his head, and his calves trembled slightly. Even though he had worked together for several months, it was still difficult for him to withstand Sheng Bai's terrifying coercion when he was furious:

"We tracked down the day when Chaomo disappeared. A man entered the old city wearing a protective suit and a mask, but he quickly changed his clothes and then disappeared into an alley. His clothes were too rotten, and he wore an ordinary black thick coat. , jeans, worn by hundreds of people in the old city, they are not recognizable at all. Moreover, the monitoring coverage of the old city is not complete, so it is impossible to tell when he left and where he went. All clues are cut off here.”

Sheng Bai was not satisfied with such a perfunctory explanation: "It's all broken, don't you know how to find a new one?"

"Yes, there is someone we are looking for. We think he is a living person and cannot starve to death, so we focused on those places where we can buy food, but he never appeared. As for the black crow, because in the information he I have never shown my face, so it is even more difficult to investigate."

Sheng Bai stood up from behind the table and approached the deputy team: "Then search the new city, the old city, and the shantytowns these days. Didn't you find anything suspicious among the newcomers?"

The deputy team took a step back in fear: "No... no. Thousands of people enter the city every day, most of them are young and middle-aged. We started to check from the day we returned to the city. I sifted through it and found nothing wrong."

Sheng Bai took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked again: "What's the situation in Tianming City?"

The deputy team whispered: "On the second day after the lighting disappeared, I took people back to Tianming City quietly, but there was no trace of Chasing Light, and the people in the Tianming City shelter also disappeared. .”

"Trash! A bunch of trash." A flash of lightning overflowed from Sheng Bai's fingertips, and directly smashed the chandelier above his head into pieces. The electric sparks exploded in the air, and the deputy team couldn't dodge in time. They were stabbed in several places by glass shards, dripping with blood.

Fortunately, other lighting strips were not affected.

The water mirror beads on a chandelier rolled towards the office door and landed at Xia Xi's feet.

Sheng Bai, who was in a rage, also noticed two people suddenly appeared at the door.

He first glanced at the youthful Xia Xi who was piercing through his eyes, and then saw Zeng Ce behind him, with a bit of undisguised disgust on his brows: "Zeng Ce, you are so courageous, those disgusting things you play, Dare to bring it here? I don’t know what this place is?”

Seeing Sheng Bai's reaction, Zeng Ce felt chills, it was broken, Sheng Bai didn't know Xia Xi at all, and he was obviously angry.

Zeng Ce glared at Xia Xi bitterly, and threw the pot out in a hurry: "Captain, you have wronged me to death. How dare I dirty your eyes with my unworthy habit? It's this kid, he must Said that I belonged to you, and also shared the information that our expedition team wanted to capture Zhuguang City Lord Chaomo, so I dared to bring him here, and I asked you to confirm it with Team Sheng."

"You also know Chaomo?" Sheng Bai looked at the young man standing at the door unexpectedly, and then he began to look at him seriously.

The narrow and thin jeans wrapped her slender and straight legs, and the white shirt was fastened to the penultimate button, revealing a slender and fragile neck and a small piece of attractive collarbone.His facial features are beautiful, and his peach blossom eyes seem to be able to seduce people's souls, but he has a cold temperament. This sense of contradiction only increases his own allure.

Sheng Bai is not interested in love for a while, but he has to admit that Zeng Ce has a good vision this time.

But then Sheng Bai's eyes met the clear and clear eyes of the young man. These eyes looked at Sheng Bai calmly, and they didn't see any trace of fear in the situation where people were fighting for the knife and I was for the fish.

Sheng Bai knew how scary he was when he was angry.Those who are not afraid of him are either courageous, or they have some hole cards to rely on.

The surrounding was terribly quiet, Xia Xi stepped on the broken glass, and approached Sheng Bai step by step: "I asked Mr. Zeng to bring me here. Captain Sheng, I have something to say to you alone."

Sheng Bai was worried that he didn't have any information about Chaomo, and although he didn't expect the handsome young man in front of him to give any breakthrough clues, there was no harm in listening to him.

Sheng Bai gave the deputy team a look and told him to leave first.

Seeing Sheng Bai's eyes, the deputy team hurriedly said goodbye as if they were being pardoned.Zeng Ce obediently retreated to the door, and thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.

Sheng Bai sat back on the chair and tapped his fingers on the table lightly: "Say it, if you can't say anything useful, I will make you regret seeing me."

Xia Xi smiled at Sheng Bai, and pointed to the topic he was most concerned about: "You have locked the city recently, but you are trying to find the owner of Chaomo City. I may have a way."

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Bai was really refreshed. He adjusted his sitting posture and leaned forward: "What can I do?"

Xia Xi knew that Sheng Bai was headstrong and short-tempered. If he couldn't gain his trust as quickly as possible, then the other party might not have the patience to listen to what he said later.So Xia Xi didn't explain the ins and outs, but first picked up the person who the other party was most concerned about.

Xia Xi said bluntly: "I think, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, you are looking for someone, it is better to invite you into the urn."

Sure enough, Sheng Bai became interested. The current search has reached a deadlock, but he would like to hear if this person has any good ideas: "Tell me in detail."

Xia Xi: "The gates of the city have been blocked for five whole days, and the expedition team went door-to-door to investigate. There is no way around it. So I guess the expedition team must have lost a very important prisoner."

"Through many inquiries and some relevant clues, I can probably confirm that the person you are looking for is Chaomo. Later, this guess was confirmed by your subordinate Zeng Ce."

"The investigation is still going on, which means that the person has not been found. An efficient team like the expedition team has not been found for five days. I don't think it is because the subordinates have neglected their duties, but it shows that this person is not just looking for a place to hide. Simple, he must have some auxiliary means, such as someone to respond, or use some methods to cover his head and change his face, or even make himself invisible."

"Then no matter how hard your subordinates try to search, there will be no more discoveries. If you want to find Chaomo, you need to change your thinking."

"How to change?" Sheng Bai lit a cigarette and adjusted a more comfortable sitting position.

"Find what Chaomo wants most, set up traps, and lure him to appear."

Sheng Bai took a puff of smoke: "Then what if he doesn't want anything?"

Xia Xi: "May I dare to ask, how did your lord catch Chaomo before?"

Sheng Bai sneered, and squinted at Xia Xi through the smoke: "Don't you know everything? Why do you still ask me?"

Xia Xi resisted the discomfort of being choked by the smoke: "I am an ordinary person, how can I know everything, what I just said is just the result of my analysis and sorting out of the intelligence I heard."

"What did you analyze? Just based on the information on the market, you can analyze that the prisoner we are looking for is Chaomo?" Sheng Bai didn't believe it.He is now very suspicious that this person is a spy sent by a certain force, and he must be of the elite level.That's why he can know these confidential information, and he can face his coercion and appear calm.

"If Team Sheng wants to hear, I can tell you in detail." Xia Xi was not afraid that Sheng Bai would ask too many questions, but he was afraid that he would not ask anything.

"The information about the reborn is basically an open secret now. Anyone who wants to find out, including the past life experiences of the two special two supernatural beings that Jingting City has been looking for, I have also collected."

"According to the information, the research institute is looking for these two people, hoping to use their body data to research weapons, armors and medicines that are more conducive to the use of supernatural beings. Among these two people, Jinglan has already been found once in the previous life, so the research The most lacking shortcoming now should be the therapeutic drugs researched from Chaomo's body. Although cell activation needles have appeared on the market, the cost is high and the side effects are large. If you want to go one step further, you still need Chaomo Physical data support."

"The expedition team made a big move a few days ago, and there are not many people who are worthy of the expedition team dispatching so many people to catch them. There are even fewer people who catch but don't kill, and will be nervous to this level after losing it. Contact the expedition team The characteristics of the person the team is looking for: thin body, gentle appearance, fair complexion, and wearing glasses. Basically, this prisoner can be identified."

Listening to Xia Xi's reasoning, Sheng Bai seemed very reasonable, but after thinking about it, he felt like walking a tightrope, with no basis at all.Can anyone really come up with so many things from just this clue?

Sheng Bai stared at Xia Xi suspiciously, and asked directly: "How do I know if you are an undercover agent sent by some force?"

"Captain Sheng, to judge a person's identity, you should not look at what he knows, but what he wants to do. Which undercover agent will try every means to help you find Chaomo? This is not beneficial to them at all."

Sheng Bai: "Then what is your identity, and why do you dare to help me?"

"I'm just an ordinary person without abilities, but not having abilities doesn't mean I have no ambitions." Xia Xi said: "As you can see, my appearance is the type that will cause a lot of trouble in the last days, but I don't want to be Those people play things. I want to protect myself, my cousin and his shop with my ability. I also want to do something in the last days. I admire your wrist and ability, and I know that you are a person with great ambitions. It is not comparable to those wastes who are addicted to money, wine and sex. Good birds choose trees to live in, and you are the sycamore tree in my eyes."

"You're being impolite, comparing yourself to a phoenix?" Sheng Bai said with a smile on his brows.Everyone likes good words, not to mention that Xia Xi's words have touched his itching.He is not like some high-level officials in Jingting City, who are satisfied with their current power and status, indulge in enjoyment, and do not think about making progress.He is someone who wants to do something great in the last days.

"It's easy for me to protect you and your cousin Zhouquan, but I have to make sure that you can really help me find Chaomo." Sheng Bai flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Chaomo is soft-hearted. Last time I caught him , I used his neighbor, the life of 10 people in Tianming City's refuge as a threat. But now those people have all run away. It will not be easy to hold Chaomo back."

"It's also easy. There is one thing that they can't refuse."

"what?"

"The mother plant of the devil's clover."
