The "colleague" spoke very politely, and he had a magnetic subwoofer that made other men envious. But when these elements were combined with what he said, it made Tool Man No. 1's already overheated heart almost explode.
"Can I?"
"..."
Tool Man No. 1's body instinctively tensed up, and he almost got into a defensive posture. But at this moment, Black Lion's instructions flickered in his heart.
… If you meet someone on the way and ask for it, just give it to them.
This order dispelled all his subjective initiative.
Tool Man No. 1 was stunned for half a second before he hurriedly took out the notebook from his chest and offered it with both hands.
The "colleague" also politely received it with both hands. He rubbed it twice in his hands, as though he was inspecting the material. Then, he opened the notebook and flipped through it.
Tool Man No. 1 very consciously blocked out the following scene. He looked straight ahead and only stared at the panel of the elevator, as though it contained the ultimate secret to his promotion and salary increase.
The elevator continued to descend, and the "colleague" beside him flipped through the notebook very gently and subtly. Apart from the occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other, there was no other movement. As a result, the slight noise of the maglev elevator became especially clear.
This was definitely the most difficult period of Tool Man No. 1's life. It was extremely long. He was already thinking about whether he should press a button midway and directly escape.
Anyway, the notebook had already been given, hadn't it?
However, when he had this thought, the "colleague" seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He still spoke gently with the magnetic subwoofer.
"It won't take too long. I'll return it to you."
I don't want it!
No one would care about the true thoughts of a tool man.
Regardless of whether the other party's attitude was firm or gentle, after this sentence, the sound of paper rubbing against each other suddenly rang out.
Tool Man No. 1 thought that the other party had sped up the speed of flipping pages, but he didn't expect to hear a soft sigh beside him.
What's wrong?
Puzzled, he turned his head and looked at the notebook in his "colleague's" hands. At the same time, a voice sounded in the car again.
"Flip faster … It's best to get a general idea first."
Tool Man No. 1 was stunned. Why does this voice sound so familiar … No, why are his lips, teeth, and tongue moving?
He shuddered violently. The sudden thought in his mind was like a firecracker, exploding his brain into chaos. The area below his neck was cold, as if he was numb from the cold and had lost all feeling.
But no matter what, he still moved his lips and spoke clearly, "This is getting interesting. If it were me, I'd change the order of these loose-leaf binders …"
Tool No. 1's eyes were about to burst, but he couldn't see the source of the dominating power that defied his will.
All he saw was that his "colleague" didn't even raise his head as he replied in a calm tone, "It's better to keep things as they are."
Tool Man No. 1's tongue continued to move. "When Baiji came to me, I didn't think much of it. But now, it seems like it's a waste of God's gift in your hands … Should I agree to it? Or, you can just give it to me, or hand it over to my stupid disciple. "
"I'm sorry, Lady Necromancer. I promised my colleague …"
You don't have to worry about me, don't worry about me!
Tool Man No. 1 froze on the spot. His eyes were painful and hot, and he was about to cry. He really wanted to repeat the order that Black Lion had given him, but it was difficult for him to do so.
At this moment, he heard a ding. The elevator arrived.
Almost at the same time, he also clearly felt his lips and teeth close. His tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, causing air to rush into his nostrils, and he let out a heavy grunt.
Tool Man No. 1's head turned forward again — it had nothing to do with his own will. He saw that the elevator doors slid open, and there were already people waiting outside. There were five of them, both men and women. Standing in the middle was a surprisingly young man.
They didn't make way, nor did they want to enter.
However, their eyes were focused on the "colleague" beside him. To be precise, they were looking at the notebook in the "colleague's" hand.
…
Tool Man No. 1's mind had been crushed by the continuous invisible dominating power. He had almost lost his ability to think normally. He could only mechanically observe and reflect the situation around him.
Or perhaps, he was just observing on his behalf.
At this time, the "colleague" beside him raised his head. Through his sunglasses, he met face to face with the people outside the elevator.
。 His hands were still in the position of flipping the pages. After half a second, he opened his mouth as calmly as usual.
"Can you watch a bit longer?"
"Do you want to watch a bit longer?"
The "subwoofer" of the "colleague" and the voice of the young man in the middle of the five seemed to coincide together.
Both sides probably didn't expect such a coincidence. The air froze for a moment, and it was still the young man who took the lead. He moved slightly to the side, making way for the outside passage.
"You're here, right? Please help yourself."
The "colleague" bowed slightly to the person outside the door. "Many thanks … Mr. Luo Nan. Nice to meet you."
He walked out of the elevator in a very natural manner.
Tool Man No. 1 followed him like a walking corpse.
He actually "observed" that the gaze of the young man, Luo Nan, had a clear pause on his own face.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a flowery shirt and shorts chuckled. "Brother Tu Ge, you dumped your boss again?"
The "colleague" slightly raised his eyes and nodded toward the flowery shirt middle-aged man. "Hello, Mr. Blood Demon. I don't have any missions for now."
Blood Demon introduced the young man, Luo Nan. "His name is Tu Ge. He's the most carefree security personnel in the world. He leaves his employer and runs all over the world … Oh, right. He's been employed by Wang Yu for many years. If there's a conflict, you must be careful of him!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Luo Nan's gaze moved away from Tool Man No. 1's face and turned to look at Tu Ge. Right now, he was like a young man truly driven by curiosity. Though he agreed to Tu Ge's request to borrow the notebook, he quickly walked over to Tu Ge's side. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Tu Ge and they watched together.
Of course, Luo Nan was at most 170 centimeters tall. Tu Ge's physique was robust, over 190 centimeters. There was a clear difference in height between the two. Therefore, Luo Nan simply left the ground with his toes and floated in the air. He was like a ghost floating behind Tu Ge's shoulder.
Blood Demon clicked his tongue twice. "This method of borrowing is passable, unlike some people …"
Tool Man No. 1 saw Blood Demon and the short-haired beauty turn their gazes in his direction. He subconsciously felt a bit dizzy as he faced those dim yellow and bright eyes.
His mouth began to squirm again at this time, producing a sound.
"It's hard to say who's borrowing who …."
