Chapter 359 The Burning Box
Drop~
The indicator light on the top of the recorder lights up green to show the working status.

"On July 7th, 25 catties of fresh beef were supplied, and the size of the gravel grew again, which was much smaller than two days ago. In addition, it showed intimacy again, and had a special reaction when I approached. After several It’s a welcome gesture confirmed after the first validation, and I think it’s bought into me, and given what happened in Mawala five years ago, I think the time is ripe to try to integrate.”

The gentleman sat in front of the training cabin, holding a recorder, staring at the gravel in the cabin that was constantly devouring large pieces of blood-colored beef, with undisguised joy in his eyes.

"Mr. Gentleman, Miss Black Swan is visiting."

The intelligent system on the side issued a reminder. The gentleman glanced at his watch, got up and pressed a button on the experimental table, and the entire training cabin sank into the table, and some scattered equipment reappeared.

"Let her wait outside, I'll go out now."

Picking up the suitcase that had been prepared, the gentleman finally glanced at the layout of the room to confirm that there was nothing special before turning around and leaving the room.

On the masonry path between the lawns at the entrance, the black swan is standing on the left side holding an umbrella, his gaze falls on the lamp building next to him, and a few black mosquitoes are circling around the white light circle rendered by the rain curtain, as if preparing to take advantage of it. He didn't pay attention to the light, so he went up and gave it a "come on".

"How's the situation recently?"

The gentleman opened the umbrella and walked out of the house, glanced at the black swan and asked.

"The dream medicine has been used up and needs to be replenished."

The black swan followed behind the gentleman, slowed down by half a body, and reported the situation in a subordinate manner.

"Well, part of today's deal is for this and I'm asking about other situations."

A silver-white sports car was approaching on the side of the street, and the virtual portrait in the driving position slowly disappeared and the door opened automatically when they were in front of them.

The black swan took two quick steps, went to the gentleman's side to take his umbrella, let him sit in the co-pilot first, then put away the umbrella himself, and entered the driver's seat in the rain.

"The fact that the dream eater you sent to deal with Fengling was counter-killed caused dissatisfaction among the people behind. Someone came to the door two days ago and wanted us to compensate for the loss. Do you need to compensate them?"

Turn the car key, and press several buttons on the control screen with your fingers. The rainwater on the front windshield of the car will be cleaned up in a few seconds. The black swan asked cautiously.

"Dream eater. Even a person who just entered the dreamland can't solve it, and dare to turn around and ask me for compensation."

He and the dream eater in the dreamland are not an alliance, but a relatively solid transaction relationship. Before that person was just a temporary partner. Some people even demanded compensation.

Are your people trash or is it my fault?
It's just that some things can only be thought about in the heart after all.

"Just take a few things and pass them away. By the way, tell them that I still need someone to teach me about the wind chime. Don't use rubbish to prevaricate me this time!"

Gentleman is not yet ready to tear his face away from the Dream Eaters organization. Although he has made a lot of preparations in the past few years, it is still not the time to formally express his attitude.

After all, cursing is fun for a while, and after scolding, there may be some situations that he doesn't want to see.

Of course, these ideas are based on the premise that the gentleman did not hear what the black swan was going to say next.

"They want the Searing Box as compensation."

As if twisting his body uncomfortably, Black Swan's tone was much lighter when he said this.

Because she knew that this sentence would irritate a gentleman.

Bang!
There was a muffled sound when the palm of the hand fell on the horizontal frame on the inside of the car door. Unsurprisingly, after the title "Scorching Box" appeared, although the gentleman who was originally in a stable mood remained silent, he radiated from his tightly knit brows and his whole body. His aura is enough to let anyone know that he is not much different from a dormant active volcano.

"Who revealed this news?"

The scorching box can be said to be the biggest gain in the past two years, not this year, and the gentleman will naturally not allow anyone to covet it.

"It should be the members of the expedition team. You know, although they signed a non-disclosure agreement, these people in the harbor area will only abide by the agreement during the cooperation process. Once the activity is over, it will be difficult for us to continue to restrain them. It takes some money to get some information out of their mouths."

"I take back what I said before. Tomorrow...just tonight, you go and tell them that I can make amends for the previous incident, but if you want the scorching box, don't even think about it!"

The clenched fist was already loosened, and the index finger tapped the door handle. After the car drove for a while, the gentleman continued,

"Change the thing tonight, don't put it in the same place, don't touch it, I will handle it myself."

The existence of the scorching box being known by the dream eater is one of the worst bad news for the gentleman during this period, but it is impossible for him to give up this treasure. They moved things to a safer place while they were at it, saving them from being missed all day long.

After nearly 20 minutes' drive, the two arrived at their destination.

Bailu Square, an entertainment plaza in the center of Shuguang City.

Even on a rainy night, the flow of people here is still not small. The gentleman and the black swan are no longer in the state when they just went out, but are walking side by side on the pedestrian street.

Umbrellas are useless here, because there is a dome covering the whole square above the square, which not only covers the rain, but also projects the rainy weather scene in the whole square through the virtual imaging equipment installed outside the shops in the square.

So that everyone is in the "rain", but not in the rain.

This kind of design may seem a bit "full-fed", but for the central government of Shuguang City, this kind of facility is something that shows the city's level, and it can be regarded as a viewing spot of Bailu Square itself.

"coming."

Walking around a real big banyan tree in the center of the square, the gentleman stopped and said.

On the other side of the banyan tree, a man wearing a beret and a pair of dark blue round glasses on the bridge of his nose was looking at them. He also held a suitcase in his hand.

"As usual, 10 bottles of dream medicine."

The other party did not hesitate after noticing the gentleman and the black swan, and stepped in front of the two of them, and handed the suitcase to the gentleman while talking.

Obviously, similar transactions have been carried out by both parties many times, and some foundations of trust have even been established.

"Recently, I got some information about the Dream Eater. I don't know if you are interested."

As part of the deal, the gentleman handed over his suitcase, but instead of walking away as usual, said before the other turned around.

"Ok?"

Pushing his glasses with his index finger, the man asked in surprise,
"In the past, you didn't even want to say it, why did you suddenly take the initiative today? Those guys are after you?"

"Facts have proved that you people are far more reliable than dream eaters. After such a long cooperation, I didn't expect them to suddenly want it. How do you say that there is no middleman to make the difference?"

The dream eater has his eyes on the gentleman's scorching box, and he doesn't have the capital to tear his face off with these guys right now, so on the premise of trying his best to deal with it, he shifted the attention of the dream eaters to other places for himself. The preparation to buy time is the best choice.

Of course, it is impossible to find any information about the Searing Box in Gentleman's Reason.

"No problem, we welcome any news about the Dream Eater from you."

Whatever the reason for the gentleman's sudden change of mind, there can never be too much information on the Dream Eater for them.

"Chat somewhere else?"

The gentleman handed the suitcase to the black swan and made a gesture of please, but the other party just shrugged and said it was okay.

gudu~gudu~
The brownish-red portunus were soaked in the half-boiling soup, and the electric stove underneath continued to heat up. There were also sliced ​​potatoes, small rice cakes, chicken feet, and a large number of shrimps rising and falling.

"Crab and sea, what can you think of?"

Zhu Jue stirred the crab pot in front of him with a spoon, and asked while picking out the rice cake and chicken feet and putting them into his own bowl.

"I've only heard of the old man and the sea, but I don't understand the meaning of the crab and the sea. Hey, why did you invite me to dinner suddenly, and turned into Bailu square halfway."

Olivia, who was still wearing formal attire, was sitting opposite Zhu Jue, using a fork to put soft potato cubes into her dinner plate. She will leave for the rescue site tomorrow, and she was going to prepare at home tonight. As a result, Zhu Jue, who was searching for information in the Archaeological Association's database, suddenly asked her to come out to have dinner with her halfway through the search.

"Hey~ You have a task tomorrow, we are friends, what's wrong with treating you to a meal?"

With one hand on his chin, Zhu Jue was on his side, chewing rice cakes in his mouth, and his eyes were not in the restaurant.

"The latest news from the association is not a sudden geological disaster. It is already confirmed that there is a special situation. This time, I am afraid there will be trouble."

While the Dawn City rescue team was preparing, the nearest local team had already gone to check the situation. Although they did not dare to enter the underground ruins rashly, there was no problem with the preliminary detection through some equipment, but the final result was obviously not optimistic.

"It's said to be an underground ruin. If there are not many monsters in it, do you believe it? I'll leave this with you for now, maybe it will be useful."

Zhu Jue glanced at Olivia with a dignified expression, smacked her lips, lowered her head, took out something from her handbag, put it on the table and pushed it over.

Inside the palm-sized ring engraved with mysterious runes is a special distorted five-pointed star, and in the middle of the five-pointed star is a small black dot similar to sparks made of some kind of material. A string is threaded through the hole for binding around the neck or wrist.

Old seal!

Zhu Jue didn't take it to Greenland five years ago, so after returning to Yecheng to find the wind chime, the old seal returned to him.

"You give it to me?"

With her eyes wide open, Olivia knew that this old seal was sometimes the best life-saving tool.

"Yeah, it's not for you, it's for your safekeeping temporarily, and you're not allowed to break it."

"I know, I'll take good care of it."

Olivia grabbed the old seal and hung it around her neck, "perfunctory" Zhu Jue and at the same time connected the two ends of the string together in front of him, and tied a knot.

The brows that had been frowned before stretched out, the corners of the mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, and there was even a gleam of brilliance in the eyes.

Zhu Jue suddenly had a premonition that this old seal might be leaving him.
