When Xu Shenxing came downstairs, he found another person sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Oh ~ Sorry, I won't be polite with your breakfast."
Xiao Zhengyi was clumsily eating a piece of toast with salad and ham with his unbandaged left hand. When he saw Xu Shenxing coming from the hallway, he didn't forget to wave the sandwich with teeth marks in his hand. He then took a big bite with a proud expression.
"I've already remade it for you. Please wait a moment." Asahi Sakurakonji bowed slightly to Xu Shenxing.
"I'm fine with it, but you better hurry up." Xu Shenxing sighed. He didn't want to argue with Xiao Zhengyi. "Because Mo Li is already grinding her teeth."
Asahi Sakurakonji laughed dryly and ran back to the kitchen.
"Uh, let me confirm."
After Xiao Zhengyi swallowed the food in his mouth, he cautiously looked at the little girl on Xu Shenxing's back. She seemed to be emitting some kind of dark aura. "That girl won't eat people, right?"
"What a coincidence. I still don't know if humans are part of Mo Li's diet. Why don't we try it today?" Xu Shenxing glanced at Xiao Zhengyi.
"Please don't."
The latter immediately backed down.
"I thought you would be a little more stubborn. As a public servant, can't you be a little more stubborn?"
"Can stubbornness make my bones last a second under that girl's teeth?"
"No."
"Then it's fine." Xiao Zhengyi shrugged. He looked like he knew it.
He wasn't really worried that Mo Li would eat people. After all, according to Xu Shenxing's moral cleanliness, eating people was already crossing his bottom line. As long as Mo Li was by Xu Shenxing's side, he didn't have to worry about this strange girl attacking people. The reason he cooperated with Xu Shenxing was more to ease the atmosphere before they talked about business.
This was a little tacit understanding between the two of them.
"Good boy, Mo Li. I have some biscuits here. Do you want some?"
"Yes, say it!"
Perhaps sensing this, Qin Xingyan used a few sandwiched biscuits to make Mo Li jump down from Xu Shenxing's back. Mo Li ran to the table and ate the biscuits while waiting for breakfast.
"So, why are you here so early today?"
Since it was the weekend, Chiyuketsu seemed to have slept in for the first time in a long time (or maybe she was tripped by Yue Zhengjing, who walked into the wrong room after waking up in the middle of the night). Since she didn't seem to have woken up, Xu Shenxing didn't have to worry that she would overhear something she shouldn't hear. Therefore, he just found a comfortable position and sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Zhengyi, waiting for her to continue.
"The group of people you caught yesterday, I did a little investigation with the bureau chief." When it came to business, Xiao Zhengyi's expression became serious.
"Those guys' bodies have some kind of mutation, right?" Xu Shenxing thought back to yesterday's situation and asked casually.
"Well, although from the biological mechanism of their muscles, they are still at the level of an ordinary person, when we actually carry out experiments, we can find that those guys' muscle fibers are at least 20 times tougher than ordinary people's, and their strength is far beyond the scope of what ordinary people can achieve … To be honest, they have a better future if they go into weightlifting than robbing banks …"
"Because a lot of people, after suddenly gaining strength, will show a blind and inflated mentality. It's normal for them to do unwise things, "Xu Shenxing said matter-of-factly.
"…"
"What's wrong?"
When Xiao Zhengyi looked at Xu Shenxing as if he was meeting him for the first time, he frowned and asked.
"No, how should I put it … I'm not used to hearing you say such serious things."
"So I'm that unreliable in your mind?"
"Yeah, let's continue to talk about business," Xiao Zhengyi turned his face to avoid Xu Shenxing's piercing (and really painful) eyes and said, "After the second big sister of Xinsu used the truth-telling bomb …"
"Wait a second." Xu Shenxing reached out and stopped him. "I feel like the word truth-telling and bomb don't match?"
"Is that so?"
"Generally speaking, it should be truth-telling (physics)!"
"I don't think yours is any better …"
Xiao Zhengyi rubbed his temples like he had a headache. He then continued, "In short, after using the torture bomb, we received some strange information."
Xu Shenxing asked, "Did the name of the bomb change?" Tossing his ridicule aside, Xiao Zhengyi continued with a straight face, "They obtained their power from the 'dream'. To be specific, they heard a voice in the dream, and that voice would ask them to prepare some things as sacrifices. If the sacrifice was successful, they would be able to obtain power."
"What's this? A devil's contract? "
Xu Shenxing asked with some surprise.
"If it's really the legendary devil's contract in Europe, it's fine. After all, it can be solved according to the book. But the problem is that the things that the voice asked for are very … strange. "
Xiao Zhengyi's expression was a bit subtle. "The first time was' a large amount of black bread or similar edible things'. The second time was' a large amount of fresh water and charcoal '. The third time was women's clothing. Well, we also solved the Golden City Luxury Mansion women's underwear theft case …"
"This devil's taste is a bit strange …"
"I don't know, but according to the identification of the experts invited by the bureau, the bodies of those guys should have been given some kind of strengthening spell, and it's not a very advanced spell. In fact, it feels a bit crude." Xiao Zhengyi sighed. "Rather than a deal with the devil, I always feel that those guys were played by some magic apprentices of the classical school."
"Then do you have any clues?"
"A little." Xiao Zhengyi took out a brass pocket watch and put it in front of Xu Shenxing. "Those guys were originally a group of construction workers. The only thing they had in common was that they were all present when they picked up this thing at the construction site. The workers who weren't present didn't have any strange dreams. "
"This thing …" Xu Shenxing frowned. "Why do I feel that it's a bit familiar?"
"Of course you feel that it's familiar. That thing was yours in the first place. "
"Now that you mention it …"
After hearing Xiao Zhengyi's words, Xu Shenxing suddenly remembered that when he had just returned to this world, it seemed that he had pawned an item that he carried with him because he was short of money … And at that time, because it was obviously worthless, but it was sold for a very high price, he had been happy for a long time.
Just as Xu Shenxing was about to say something, his ghost spirit had already floated over with a plate of fried rice.
"Oh, my breakfast is already ready."
Xu Shenxing, who had always believed that eating was the most important thing in the world, took a bite of the fried rice, and then his vision suddenly turned black. He could only vaguely hear someone not far away shouting something like, "Wait, Mr. Ghosts, when did you make the instant seafood fried rice?"
In the last moment before he lost consciousness, Old Xu silently cursed in his heart.
Damn, how was this day beautiful …
