Chapter 54 Doubting My IQ
It is said to be a stronghold, but it is actually a warehouse of two hundred square meters.
It is divided into two areas. Near the gate is the training ground. There are some sports equipment around it, and several people are fighting shirtless.
It was not just a simple fight with fists and kicks, but also a confrontation with supernatural powers. The "hidden weapon" that almost flew into Shen Lu's face just now was an energy ball that one of them accidentally hit in the wrong direction.
They fought fiercely, with fire flying everywhere, and uncontrollable energy scurrying around from time to time. People next to them would be affected if they didn't pay attention.
No wonder Xue Can said, "As long as you are not afraid," it is indeed a bit dangerous for someone like her who has no powers.
Xue Can led her through the training ground to the office area at the back.
The office area is just a few tables arranged randomly, and there is also a set of sofas that look like they are specially used to receive guests.
Shen Lu sat down on the sofa and curiously watched the few people fighting passionately.
Xue Can took off his gloves, sat down opposite Shen Lu, took out his cigarette and lighter, and lit a cigarette.
Shen Lu frowned. She didn't like the smell of smoke.
But Xue Can had no intention of accommodating her and took a few puffs.
“Boss Shen, where did you encounter this strange beast?”
Xue Can’s question drew Shen Lu’s attention back, “Is this really a strange beast? ? How do I remember that alien beasts don’t look like this?”
The original owner didn’t care about current affairs, but he always read some news about alien beasts.
In the memory of the original owner, alien beasts were mutated animals, and the monster she encountered today had no animal characteristics at all.
"This is new recently. You may not have watched the news."
This Shen Lu couldn't refute. She really didn't watch the news, mainly because she didn't have anywhere to watch it.
"I met it in the 15th block. Passing by an alley, it suddenly grabbed my bag." Shen Lu tried hard to recall, "Didn't it say that strange beasts can only be found outside the city? The city is protected Wall, how did it get in?"
"I don't know, you have to ask the government about this."
As he was talking, the door opened and several people in police uniforms walked in.
Xue Can went over to negotiate with a cigarette in his mouth. Within two minutes, the police left and Xue Can sat back on the sofa.
“Are you here to deal with the strange beasts?” Shen Lu asked.
"Well, you wanted me to hand over the exotic beasts, but I refused."
"Why? Do you want to keep it for research?"
Xue Can glanced at it A girl with a face full of curiosity, "Because it can be sold for money."
The police catch the strange beasts and turn them in to calculate their performance. If they catch the strange beasts and send them to the research institute, they can get a sum of money.
Why should you leave things to the police if you can make money yourself? In the new era, the role of the police has long lost its original significance. Only civilians who have no ability to protect themselves have some respect for the police.
After smoking a cigarette, Xue Can rubbed his brows and talked to Shen Lu about remuneration.
“Boss Shen, I saved your life again today, should you thank me?”
It's a question, but it's really a statement.
Xue Can had no advantage and was too late. Even though it didn't take him a few efforts to subdue this strange beast, he did save Shen Lu's life.
“How many star coins do you want, Captain Xue?”
“No star coins, if it’s convenient, get me more food.”
He can’t live without him now. After eating the food made by Shen Lu for these days, he even felt that his mental state was slowly getting better.
"There's no problem with that. I sell a lot of things now, including mint water, egg waffles, spicy hotpot, fried rice, fried noodles and braised meat. What do you want to eat? Just tell me in advance so I can prepare."< br>
“I’ll go over and take a look tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Shen Lu beat his legs and looked at the sky outside the window. It was completely dark. It's time for her to go back.
Xue Can noticed her thoughts, stood up and said: "Let's go, I will take you back."
Shen Lu stood up and said, "Excuse me, Captain Xue."
Xue Canzhuangruo said unintentionally: "No trouble, Boss Shen can get home safely even without me, right?"
Shen Lu was confused, what was he implying by his profound words?
Seeing the doubt flash across her face, a dark light flashed under Xue Can's eyes.
This was the first time Shen Lu walked outside at night. The street lights in Xiacheng District were very dark, and he had to work hard to see the road under his feet.
The two of them were silent all the way, and the silent atmosphere made Shen Lu feel a little hairy for no reason.
But she didn’t know how to talk to Xue Can, so she could only secretly complain to the system.
Shen Lu: "I was really scared to death today. Don't you have any means to protect the novice players?"
[How about the host takes a shot? It should be in the blind box lottery machine. 】
Shen Lu: "You actually want me to fight with you, you are so cold-blooded, it's outrageous."
System:...
Shen Lu: "Who made me the unlucky one who was selected? I can only be beaten."
Shen Lu was so stubborn that he finished the task today. The reward raffle tickets were used.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the blind box prize No. 200: 100% damage rebound. 】
[100% damage rebound: When the host is attacked by the outside world, the protective barrier is automatically opened and the damage received is 100% rebounded, achieving the effect of a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. 】
【Note: Privileges can be used three times a day and refreshed at zero o'clock. 】
Shen Lu: (ノ￣▽￣)
Sorry, I have to take back what I just said, you Tongzi are not cold-blooded at all, you are the best Tongzi in the world!
The girl next to her thought of something happy and burst into laughter.
Xue Can looked down, his eyes searching.
Is there really an expert protecting Shen Lu?
Xue Can has been thinking about this issue since he just rescued Shen Lu.
If it was true, why didn’t she appear when she was chased by a strange beast?
Shen Lu was really as he thought, which rich lady came to experience life?
If so, after being troubled by Ma Laosan last time, did you really let a few of them off so lightly?
Such a kind-hearted and soft-hearted young lady... is really rare.
Anyway, it was his first time meeting him.
Could it be that he misunderstood?
Xue Can narrowed his eyes. What if the faceless master was not the person protecting Shen Lu at all, but just a nosy guy passing by?
This seems more reasonable.
If Shen Lu didn't have any background, he seemed...
When he reached the intersection of the 17th Street Block, Shen Lu stopped and turned to thank Xue Can.
"Captain Xue, thank you for sending me back. It's getting late, so you should go back soon."
Shen Lu is still a little wary of Xue Can. He is not like Wang Daguo, Cai Su and others are ordinary people.
He has special powers and can control her life and death at will. She is not sure whether the anti-wolf device can work on him, or it is better not to let him know her too deeply.
The streets are very quiet at night, with a dead feeling.
Xue Can's flaming hands were very dazzling in the darkness. When Shen Lu's pupils suddenly widened, the man caught her wrist off guard.
But the next second, the fire suddenly lit up, penetrating Xue Can's palm, and the smell of burning human flesh spread in the air.
Xue Can gritted his teeth and endured the pain, letting go of his hand.
Damn it.
For the first time, he began to doubt his own intelligence. (End of chapter)
