Chapter 237
Birth...job...marrying a wife...having a child...serious illness...windfall...

There are always countless twists and turns in life. One thing changes the original track, makes everything go on another fork, and extends one branch after another among the numerous branches and leaves, finally reaching the dead end.

No one can avoid it.

And the story, there will always be such a dividing line, so that everything will lead to an ending that even the author does not know.

Just like this moment.

Chen Xiao was waiting for the cake, his stomach was urging impatiently, a sweet smell wafted from the back kitchen, from time to time, he could hear a few bursts of light laughter, the people around him were doing their own things, everything was as usual , no one can see anything unusual.

suddenly,

A gust of wind rang, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a strange face walked in.

a woman

He looks about 40 years old, but he is well maintained. There is no makeup on his face, and there are not many traces of age. He is wearing a red windbreaker and a red bowler hat with a lighter color. On the top, it is tied into a dark flower with a ribbon, which seems to have a trace of retro laziness and luxury.Such a look is very abrupt in this coffee shop. A few fat guys who are obviously xxx and have a little Oedipus complex stare at this woman blankly, with a trace of blush appearing on their faces.

A few guys with sharp eyes noticed her hand.

A pair of very beautiful hands, slender fingers, shiny like ivory, and the joints are so crystal clear that no wrinkles can be seen. For a moment, the person who noticed this seemed to think of something indescribable, and swallowed unconsciously. I spit.

And compared with those hands, the book held in his hand seemed not so conspicuous.

"Hello, ma'am!" The cousin folded her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly to welcome her. At the same time, she looked up and down the woman, with some inexplicable surprise in her eyes, as if she had discovered something that only women can discover. of the unusual.

"Thank you, a cup of coffee is just fine, um. Stronger." The woman responded with a smile, her voice was so soft that it sounded like she was about to float.

Afterwards, she went straight to the bar and sat side by side with Chen Xiao.

At this time, Chen Xiao was still complaining about Boss Xiaoyu’s failure to make his portion of the cake first. He didn’t pay much attention to this luxuriously dressed woman. The handle of the spoon tapped on the table.While knocking and stepping on the rhythm point, he shouted.

"Fat, hurry up, fat, hurry up"

Although the sound is not loud, but sitting next to him will still be very annoying.
But the woman who just came in didn't seem to care. Instead, she opened the book in her hand and read it quietly.

After 30 seconds, Chen Xiao must have felt that something was wrong, he turned his head in doubt and glanced at the other party.

"Don't you think it's noisy? Obasan?" Chen Xiao asked in a disrespectful manner, and even grinned, showing a very uncomfortable expression.If Boss Xiaoyu saw this behavior, he would probably put a plate of butter on Chen Xiao's face.

However, the woman who was called Obasan didn't seem to be angry. She looked away from the book and looked at Chen Xiao.

"Speaking of it, it's a bit noisy, but it's okay." She thought for a while, and replied, it seemed that she didn't have much disgust with Chen Xiao's expression.

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Then don't you want to say something?"

The other party smiled and shook his head.

silence
"Hey, hey, you know, I've had a really bad day these days." Chen Xiao suddenly said: "And I also know that there always seems to be all kinds of things around me, all kinds of things. All kinds of people, some are quite interesting, while others are very troublesome, there is no way, maybe I have this kind of physique.”

He muttered irritably, his voice was so low that only the woman beside him could hear him.

"Maybe life is like this. If everything is plain, even if it is written in a book, no one will read it." The woman lowered her head again, turned a page and said as if nothing had happened.

"So... you came after me?" Chen Xiao had a look of death.

"Of course, is it aimed at these two little girls?" The woman didn't even look up, she turned her head quietly to the one who was holding the plate.

"Uh, is it from the Foundation? So, are you here to check these two abnormal items or me?" Chen Xiao asked, his expression finally became a little more serious:
"Of course I didn't check anything, otherwise I wouldn't just come here so casually, and to be honest, it's a very constructive move for you to keep this level of abnormal items in such a stable form. I even think that we should propose to the African-European Joint Group to develop some shelters with a non-fixed model, which can save a lot of resources."

The woman was still looking at the book and talking as if nothing had happened, and she didn't know what was so good about the book. Anyway, it didn't delay her conversation with Chen Xiao.

"Oh? From this point of view, you should also be a member of the management team, right? Are you from the Asian branch? Anyway, it means that the foundation has already tacitly agreed that I did not report the abnormal containment items?"

The woman smiled slightly: "Of course not, it's just that I'm too lazy to take care of this. If other people find out about your behavior, it will be very troublesome, and I won't help you at that time. Okay, Let’s get down to business, I have a task for you.”

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Mission?"

"Yes, about the mission of "Dark Realm"!"

"Huh? What is that?"

The woman was slightly taken aback: "Uh, I didn't expect your authority to be so low. I thought you had received information about the Black Realm after the last emergency reinforcement. Well, let me briefly say, then It is a series of abnormal incidents of different world invasions that have occurred all over the world. The Foundation collectively refers to these invasion points as "dark land". Your mission record states that three months ago, you invaded in a black land You performed very well in the emergency mission, so I also suggest that you can participate in this invasion."

"Three months ago in the Black Realm!" Chen Xiao thought for a while, and naturally remembered that weird space full of blood and flesh, and even the light was not stable: "Ah! It turns out that the task that hurriedly gathered us there was still It has a lot of background. Hehehe, then, I have to ask. Is this mission a squad mode?"

The woman nodded her head gracefully: "Of course, I remember. Um. The Laughingbird Squad?"

Chen Xiao licked his lips

"Okay, I accept it!"
