The Ninth Secret Bureau

v4 Chapter 6: A hundred cups

It is the first time for Muhe and Mr. Skull to go shopping.

It was also the first time for Chen Xian, who was born and raised in Ningchuan.

When everyone discovered that Chen Xian was searching for the location of Ningchuan Shopping Plaza on their mobile phones as soon as they left the house, Xu Yanan and Lu Yisheng were silent almost at the same time. What's the situation in their hearts? ?

Perhaps aware of Lu Yisheng's weird gaze, Chen Xian raised his head and glanced at them, the expression on his face was a little bit ashamed.

"I haven't been shopping, I usually buy clothes online, so..."

"It's okay, I understand." Lu Yisheng patted Chen Xian on the shoulder, as if I knew you don't need to say more, "I actually bought this outfit online, and the package of 200 yuan is also free. I will send you the link next time."

"Yes." Chen Xian nodded hurriedly.

Hearing the dialogue between these two dead straight men, Xu Yanan didn't bother to feel disgusted. He only felt that such a cute little fairy like Mu He was living in this kind of living environment... it was simply too difficult!

Chen Xian and Lu Yisheng were taking a taxi on the side of the road, chatting in a low voice from time to time. Mu He and Xu Yanan were standing in the back, and they seemed to be chatting in a whisper.

At this moment, they can't see the slightest appearance of being strangers. They don't have the mystery of ordinary strangers, and they do not have the pride of being aloof from some strangers all the time... From a certain point of view, they The way of life is much more comfortable than ordinary foreigners, because the boundary between foreigners and ordinary people is very blurred in their hearts.

Living in human society, they do not regard themselves as being higher than ordinary people.

Whether it is a foreigner or an ordinary person, they are actually the same kind of life, but their abilities are different.

"Do I have to stay like this?"

Mr. Skull’s voice was very dull and depressed. He pointed to the densely wrapped bandage on his face, and couldn’t help but think of a certain kind of life that had appeared in his ancient memory...using modern humans. The saying, should it be called a mummy, right?

"You have to do that if you want to go out, or you can go back and stay." Chen Xian said without looking back.

"Oh... well..." Mr. Skull looked at Chen Xian grievously and did not say a word.

Before leaving the house, Chen Xian specially changed it into the temporary uniform that the Secret Bureau staff helped him find. Although the scrawny Mr. Skeleton looked a little strange in his uniform, he blocked his **** body. ...Of course, before changing into clothes, Chen Xian also did "special treatment" to his body.

From head to toe, Chen Xian and Lu Yisheng worked together to tie two layers of bandages to it. If the sly look is seen by people in the circle, it is estimated that they will have to be treated as a mummy of a corpse.

"My sister will buy you some nice clothes for a while, and I will definitely dress you up very nicely." Xu Yanan stood beside Mu He, looking at Mu He who had just reached her chin, with countless stars in her eyes, "You like the Lolita style. Do you still like the fresh and natural style of the forest?"

Mu He ate Pocky slowly and glanced at Xu Yanan, who was full of enthusiasm. For some reason, he felt a little scared and couldn't help but quietly leaned against Chen Xian.

At this moment, the taxi came, and it happened to be two empty cars.

Mr. Chen Xian and Mr. Mu He Gu took the lead in the front car, while Xu Yanan and Lu Yisheng were placed in the back car. From time to time there were chattering sounds from the car, and their group seemed to be the best. Ordinary young people who go out shopping.

It seems that the people who experienced the darkness on Jiuling Mountain were not them.

Everyone felt a relaxed and pleasing mood, even Chen Xian, who was aloof, shopping was a meaningless and time-consuming activity for him, and he didn’t like to go. Areas with too much traffic, so they have always stayed away from these places in the business circle.

But the strange thing is that he was very happy when he went out this time. He didn't realize the subtle psychological changes. Perhaps this is the difference between being alone and having friends.

Coming to a large commercial plaza in the city center, Xu Yanan was like returning to her happy hometown. Even if this is not the southeast city she is familiar with, she still took the road in the shopping plaza with ease, and dragged her to go despite Muhe resistance. Shopping in various luxury stores.

At first, Mu He wanted to struggle to get back to Chen Xian, but slowly let Xu Yanan go, because she suddenly discovered that shopping like this was actually quite interesting, not as boring as Chen Xian had said before.

Perhaps this is a certain nature of women.

Seeing the bright and eye-catching jewels in the counter, or the well-designed styles in the window of a clothing store...Even if you don’t plan to buy it, you will feel happy just by looking at it.

"Xiao Muhe, come here, I think this dress suits you well!"

"Is it suitable for me..." Mu He looked a little at a loss, looked back at Chen Xian, and pointed to the light khaki dress held by the clerk, "Chen Xian! This dress fits me!"

Hearing Mu He asking for his own opinion, Chen Xian glanced at it and nodded without hesitation and said it was suitable.

At this moment, he also found that his aesthetics did not reach the realm of Xu Yanan. The clothes he saw on the Internet some time ago were really not ordinary compared to this expensive dress.

Xu Yanan led the team to visit the four stores. She arranged for Muhe to try on the clothes no less than fifteen times, but every time she just tried on and didn't buy it, it seemed that she hadn't met a particularly agreeable one.

"Why don't you buy a few of them first?"

Chen Xian couldn't help but said, although he only followed Xu Yanan for a distance of less than 100 meters, it is strange that...the fatigue that he had never felt before going over the mountains and over the mountains to deal with the different cases, now appeared unexpectedly. Up!

"The money didn't come from a strong wind. Why did you buy it inappropriately?" Xu Yanan glanced at Chen Xian sullenly.

"Yeah!" Mu He also nodded and expressed his agreement with Xu Yanan. There was no fatigue on his small face. On the contrary, he was inexplicably excited. It seemed that he had an inexplicable enthusiasm for shopping, "Let's go shopping!"

"......"

Maybe it was because I noticed that Chen Xian and the others were a bit unable to walk. Xu Yanan found a corner for them to rest in the center of the shopping plaza just like placing cats and puppies, and asked Chen Xian and them to stay there obediently. Run around and come back to pick them up later.

"Damn, next time I go shopping, I will follow me as a pig!" Lu Yisheng walked over with three cups of milk tea he had just bought, and first handed a cup to Chen Xian and then to Mr. Skull, his face full of regret. The original expression, "Will they not be tired after walking in the street for so long?"

"Maybe this is a special function belonging to women." Chen Xian took the milk tea and drank slowly, "We will go to Yin City later. There is a barbecue restaurant that tastes good. I'll take you to try it."

When Chen Xian was chatting with Lu Yisheng, Mr. Skull had been studying the milk tea in his hand. It was like watching a piece of art. He held the cup and looked left and right for a long time before finally learning the actions of Chen Xian and the others. Carefully erected the straw and poked it into the cup, then took a couple of mouthfuls, enjoying it with all his face.

In this rest area, in addition to Chen Xian, who has an outstanding skin, is more eye-catching, Mr. Skull is also eye-catching, because his dress is too weird, his thin body and dense bandages on his face, from Some blood-colored "skin" tissues can be seen in the gaps between the bandages...how do they look like a severely burned patient who went out to relax.

"Humans are so strange..."

Mr. Skull drank the milk tea gently, and looked curiously at the passers-by.

"Obviously they are low-level beings...but they didn't realize their own weaknesses...it seems that every individual can live very freely...because they have not seen those strong Life body..."

"Perhaps so." Chen Xian replied softly, chewing the milk tea pearls in his mouth, "Our work in the Secret Bureau is to try to avoid them seeing those powerful life forms, so that they don't have to be overshadowed by the shadow of fear for the rest of their lives. They can live freely in the sun."

"What you made is false, they can't see the truth." Mr. Skeleton glanced at Chen Xian, "Just let them be fooled for life by fabricated lies?"

Chen Xian nodded nonchalantly, and did not speak.

"I remember human beings are always searching for the truth... It seems that they started a long time ago..." Mr. Skeleton seemed to be caught in his memories, and those vague ancient memories kept flashing in his mind.

"Reality is not necessarily a good thing." Chen Xian smiled, as if he had already figured out this question. "Some things only exist in novels and movies. If someone suddenly discovers that the monsters in horror movies are real. , What do you think this world will become?"

Mr. Skull shook his head and said he didn't know.

"They will collapse." Chen Xian sighed. "It doesn't feel good that the worldview is shattered. The fear of the dark and unknown will drive many people crazy. Maybe the earth will become the largest lunatic asylum in the universe."

"They will go crazy? Are human beings so fragile?" Mr. Skull looked at Chen Xian suspiciously, "It is difficult for them to accept the existence of those powerful beings?"

"Difficult, but...humans don't seem to be that fragile."

Chen Xian held the cup of milk tea in both hands, leaning back on the bench, silently watching the flow of people before him.

"Most human beings have no special abilities, their lives are fragile and extremely short, and the survival pressure they have to face throughout their lives is not imaginable by other lives. Birth, old age, sickness and death, firewood, rice, oil and salt, wives, sons and daughters..."

"Without the hunting of higher beings, ordinary humans have no easy life. Although today's people cannot feel the fear of being prey, they are often tortured by various negative emotions, the ancients said. Seven emotions, joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear and terror, joy is only one of them. It is conceivable that joy and joy from the heart is indeed a short and rare thing for ordinary people, but even so they can still be strong. Of living in this world, multiplying generation after generation..."

Mr. Skull listened to these words of Chen Xian silently, his eyes flashed with thought.

"Human life is really too complicated...fragile and strong...reminds me of a creature from a long time ago...those **** bugs... ...There are them all over the world..."

Mr. Skull murmured, as if he was feeling something.

"How does it feel to live in this world?" Chen Xian turned his head and glanced at it.

In fact, Chen Xian also knows very well that for Mr. Skull’s ancient “life”, all creatures in this world belong to a different kind. Any trace of the same kind, and even the traces of the kind that have survived here, has long since been obliterated by history.

"not bad."

Mr. Skull sipped a big sip of milk tea, and looked around this magnificent shopping hall, his eyes gleaming with curiosity, he seemed to be full of interest in this strange world, and did not feel the loneliness that Chen Xian had imagined.

"This world is much more interesting than when I woke up last time."

Hearing this answer, Chen Xian nodded and said nothing.

"Can you have some more of this?" Mr. Skull patted Lu Yisheng's shoulder gently, and said cautiously, "This is delicious, I want to drink more."

"Small things." Lu Yisheng smiled, and wanted to show Mr. Skull the modern hospitality, "How many more drinks do you want? What flavor do you want?"

"This taste is good." Mr. Skull looked at Lu Yisheng expectantly, and his tone of voice was extremely careful. He seemed embarrassed, "Thank you, please buy me a hundred cups."

"It's just buying a milk tea. What do you say thank you for? Don't do such trivial things in the future... Damn you, tell me again how much the **** do you want to buy?"

"One hundred cups, thank you."
