Luo Nan never expected that things would actually develop to this step when he first accepted the mission of preserving the genes and ecology of the native species.
Though Luo Nan hadn't put much thought into this matter over the past half month, he had still borrowed his knowledge to participate in a few meetings. He knew very well that he couldn't complete the mission alone. Therefore, for the first time in more than ten days, he took the initiative to contact his nominal partner.
Peony of the Hidden Indigo Firm.
Luo Nan walked through Ink's channel. This crow believer had been following by Peony's side recently. Using Ink as a medium was undoubtedly the most convenient.
But when Luo Nan's telepathic thoughts shifted to absorb Ink's perceptual information, what appeared before his eyes was a world of darkness.
Luo Nan spent a few seconds to get a general understanding of his surroundings. This was an alley between tall buildings. The fire escape ladder attached to the building and the automatic conveyor belt connected the building made the already narrow area even more unbearably crowded.
This kind of dark and cramped area usually belonged to the recycling layer.
In the shadow of the alley, a certain someone was leaning against the wall on the inside of the corner of the fire escape. The narrow corner could not accommodate her long legs, so she had one leg propped up and the other extended out of the staircase, half of her leg dangling in the air.
In this way, Luo Nan could naturally see that the person was actually wearing a pair of cotton slippers. They looked fat and clumsy. It was a stark contrast to his handsome leather jacket and skinny jeans.
Oh, the snake-patterned pointy high heels that were thrown askew to the side. Although the color was flirtatious and full of nightclub style, she should be able to hold it up — this sister was now shaking the bottle of wine with a mysterious smile on her lips. She looked like she had a hangover. Needless to say, she definitely looked good!
But the problem was, was this nightclub girl who seemed to have just had a crazy night of fun and couldn't find her home. Was she really that free and easy, yet strong and shrewd Peony?
If it weren't for the obvious difference in height and facial features, Luo Nan would have believed that he was looking at Cat Eyes, who was drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
Under Luo Nan's command, Ink's claws hooked onto the railing of the staircase on the other side of the building. It observed from above. Perhaps she was looking too directly, but Peony suddenly raised her head and met the crow's pitch-black eyes. She raised the wine bottle and gestured.
"Have a good weekend."
Against Ink, or against Pat Block? It was most likely the latter.
And so Luo Nan knew that it was very likely that he had underestimated Peony's level of keenness. Or perhaps Peony had been feigning ignorance all along, only revealing clues when she was hungover.
Luo Nan certainly had to put a hundred and twenty percent effort into dealing with this kind of woman with deep and sharp schemes. He didn't want to leave any clues for her to use against him, so he communicated with Peony through the rubber band on Ink's ankle. Moreover, he asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Good morning. Did you just search this area?"
"I didn't. The door was blocked, so I snuck out. "
"Hehe, why do you look like you've been caught red-handed?" Luo Nan did his best to make his tone sound like that of an adult. He learned from Crag Burst and joked a bit too much.
Peony responded calmly, "Probably. But are you finally free this weekend and ready to officially join the crew and take a make-up break? "
"Hey, don't ignore my contribution … Forget it!"
Luo Nan knew that Peony was looking down on his behavior of not putting in any effort or effort during this time. Frankly speaking, he really hadn't put in any effort ever since he reported the whereabouts of the Winghand Bloodbat. He had received over a million dollars in remuneration so far. At least half of it was a bit of a hot potato.
Peony didn't bicker with him about this. She just shook the bottle again, "I can't keep you company today. I have something to do. Do you know? The World University's birthday is a holiday that belongs to us. "
Luo Nan was actually speechless!
That's right. When he first met Peony, she came out of Acumen College. It seemed that she was a graduate student of some professor. She could be counted among the ranks of university students. Speaking up to this point, Luo Nan actually wanted to investigate Peony's background more than once. The problem was that he had to take Her Majesty Empress Wu's face into consideration. He could only act muddleheaded for now.
"You want to participate in the parade too?"
"Speaking of which, Crow, you pay a lot of attention to the lives of students?"
"...... I'm just surprised that you're not doing proper work."
"Mr. Crow. Oh right, you can't add a suffix, right? Then, Mr. Partner, humans haven't evolved to the point where they work 24 hours a day, seven days a week without sleep or rest. Humans are very weak. They get tired. We find time to rest. We find fun for ourselves. It is because of this that it is interesting and wonderful. So, don't obliterate the final value of human society! "
Luo Nan was speechless once more. He looked at her appearance. Could it be that …
"You've fallen out of love, right?"
"Don't read too much into it, Mr. Partner. I'm enjoying my current state. Unfortunately, I can only get drunk for a while." Peony faced Crow from afar. She shook the wine bottle once more, and then she drained it in one gulp. The wine bottle smashed against the wall with a crash, and then it fell down the stairs. In the end, it was smashed into smithereens.
Peony stood up against the wall. She lowered her head and curled her lips in disgust. "So ugly."
She was referring to the cotton slippers on her feet. They were blue-checkered men's slippers. They were old, and Luo Nan had a few pairs at home. The old and mediocre outer appearance really didn't match well with Peony's slender and well-proportioned feet.
Speaking of which, could it be that this person became a mistress and was blocked at the door by the main wife? Did she run away in a panic?
Elite women played this game these days …. Well, it seemed to be common in television dramas. In reality, this was probably true love. It was a pity for those spare tires and men who admired goddesses.
Luo Nan didn't make any moral judgments. In any case, he wasn't the one taking over. However, his feelings toward Peony had changed a bit. The element of looking up to and admiring her had lessened a bit, and he felt a bit more realistic.
They were all ordinary people!
Right now, he was a bit worried about Peony's state. It wasn't safe for a great beauty to stay on the recycling stratum when she was hungover, even in broad daylight. As for Peony's personal strength, he still had no idea.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Peony didn't answer. She turned her head and looked around. Finally, she saw her high heels lying crookedly to the side. She chuckled and casually kicked off the cotton slippers on her feet. She fitted her feet with the most suitable decorations. The bewitching patterns and shapes instantly drew out lines that were pleasing to the eye.
Peony seemed to instantly regain her usual aura after putting on the shoes that belonged to her. She laughed again and waved her hand at Crow above her. Then she staggered her steps and walked out of the alley.
"She's definitely right. She's pretending to be calm!" Luo Nan pondered over Peony's state of mind as he urged Crow to follow her.
The alley went all the way up, slowly going from the recycling stratum to a normal street block. Perhaps the statistics of the public security department were far too accurate, or perhaps Peony had the talent to act in melodramatic dramas. It wasn't unexpected that such a great beauty would bewitch the eyes of some people.
In the shadows of the building, a tall and coarse young man brushed shoulders with Peony. When he looked at her from the front, his eyes nearly popped out. He turned his head to look at her back and was stunned for a few seconds. In the end, his heart was clouded by lust. He turned around and chased after her, chuckling as he struck up a conversation.
"Beautiful, where are you going?"
Peony didn't pay any attention to him, but the young man's skin was thick enough. He followed closely and didn't let go. "Look at you. You didn't drink to your heart's content last night, right? I know a good place. Let's continue another round. "
Peony continued to move forward, but an inexplicable smile seeped out from the corner of her lips.
The young man saw the side of the beauty's face suddenly come alive because of her smile, and he became more and more enchanted. He raised his hand, wanting to hook it around Peony's shoulder. Then he heard a slightly hoarse voice at this time.
"I know that all life here has never cultivated properly."
"Huh?"
The young man's nose was already smelling the fragrance of a fragrant body mixed with the smell of alcohol. From his perspective, this was the smell of desire. Then, the stairs came head-on towards him.
"Thump."
The young man simply slammed into the stairs. He didn't move an inch, fainting.
Peony didn't even turn her head. She continued to stagger forward, occasionally leaning on the wall. She chanted unhurriedly as she walked, "... Persevering in the five desires, infatuated with love, giving birth to anger. Using all desires and karma, falling into the three evil paths. Within the six pleasures of reincarnation, suffering all bitter poisons. The minute form of conception, constantly growing from generation to generation. "
What the hell? Luo Nan didn't understand half of what he heard. He just felt that it was like some sort of Buddhist scripture, and the color of the words and sentences made him feel uncomfortable.
Peony's footsteps came to a halt just as he was baffled. She wasn't far from the mouth of the alley. The morning sunlight cut through the gaps between the tall buildings, miraculously falling at the end of the long alley ahead.
Over there was a relatively bustling street. The stream of people passed through, and the clamor entered the ears.
Ink folded its wings and stopped on a certain window sill above the mouth of the alley. It continued to stare at her. But Luo Nan saw Peony smile inexplicably. She directly stepped out of the mouth of the alley, reflecting the slanting sunlight. Her smile was brilliant and bright, devoid of any depression or filth.
Just like this, she naturally blended into the surging stream of people on the side of the street. However, the most eye-catching thing right now was a group of university students marching toward the city hall plaza.
Luo Nan wasn't interested in this. He felt that the current Peony seemed to be easier to communicate with, so he asked, "You're planning on spending the day in the city hall plaza? Then do you have any information …. "
"Clap clap clap!"
Clear and resounding applause rang out. Peony stood by the side of the road, forcefully applauding the marching group. She shouted loudly, "Unity!"
Her drunken and wanton appearance was very annoying, but as a beauty, she had special privileges. Most of the people in the marching group were stupefied, but there were still quite a few young men who laughed loudly in agreement when they saw the encouragement of a great beauty like Peony.
"Unity."
Peony continued to applaud with all her might. She leaned forward slightly, arched her back, and clapped her hands red. It was as if she was already immersed in the enthusiastic atmosphere. Then she shouted loudly once more, "Honor!"
She was a beauty again, and she was so sincere. This time, there were even more people who responded. The sound waves had already converged into form.
"Honor!"
Faint beads of sweat appeared on Peony's forehead. She simply tore off her leather jacket and draped it over her arm. Her upper body was just a thin shirt, and it was completely unable to conceal her beautiful lines. However, what truly stirred people's hearts was her wanton and bright smile. Her snow-white teeth were revealed beneath her beautiful lips. They were so splendid.
She walked into the marching group with large strides amidst this sort of smile. She was like the most familiar of friends. She opened her arms as if it was a matter of course, and she placed them on the shoulders of two students.
The students just so happened to be a man and a woman. Both of them were stupefied. But at this moment, the screams and applause of the others shook the windows of the surrounding tall buildings to the point of droning.
Peony faced the sky and howled amidst this wave of sound.
"Youth!"
The hearts of the marching group and the surrounding spectators had already been stirred by this dazzling beauty. Most of the people were already at a loss for words. They just screamed in response.
Then everyone saw the arm that pointed to the sky.
"Victory!"
