Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but if you look closely, the wonderful smell almost overflows.

However, blocking the other person at the door like this is truly rude.

"I'm sorry, boss, he has other commissions that he is handling recently, and he may not be able to get away in a short time. You'd better find someone else."

This is not a serious firm, so how can we accept commissions from others?Nian found a random reason and sent this middle-aged man away quickly.

However, that man looked like he was bound to you and showed no intention of leaving.

"It doesn't matter, I can wait." The man said, "The commission will end one day, and I can wait before that."

"This... is not a matter of waiting..."

Nian couldn't help but scratch her head. She didn't expect that the other party was so persistent. She couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Just as Nian was racking his brains to think of the reason, the man suddenly took something out of his pocket.

"Don't rush to answer. It's not too late to make a decision after reading this."

What the man handed over seemed to be a business card.

Nian hesitated for a moment, but she still took the business card.

When he saw the lines of text on the business card, Nian's heart suddenly tightened and he couldn't take his eyes away from it.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Trevor Friston, an employee of the Components Department of Rheinland Life General Administration."

When introducing his identity, the man named Trevor paused for some reason, but Nian was in a very complicated mood and did not notice this inconspicuous detail.

Just listen to Trevor say, "This time, on behalf of Rheinland Life, I am sending a private commission to the president of your company."

After saying that, Trevor stood there expressionlessly, waiting for Nian's answer.

"...you come in first."

Nian looked at him deeply, then took a step back and made way to the inside of the house.

"Excuse me."

Although he said this, Nian didn't see the slightest bit of embarrassment in him for disturbing others.

Rhine Life...

Before Li Ang left, he told Nian all the recent messy events, lest she accidentally miss any important clues while protecting Deste.

Although some of the latest information has not yet been disclosed to Nian, Nian also knows that the root of these troubles lies in Rhine Life.

Now, people from Rhine Life actually came to the door, which was completely different from what Li Ang had planned before.

Nian felt a little headache. She didn't know anything about negotiation. She really didn't know what to do next...

Forget it, just take it one step at a time. If you really can't, call your sister-in-law for support. She always knows better than you.

With this in mind, I will first practice the most basic etiquette in preparation for the new year.

She found the kettle in the living room, turned around and asked, "Do you want black tea or coffee?"

However, Trevor said in a cold voice, "Don't bother me. I will leave soon after I finish what I need to do."

The movements of Nian's hands couldn't help but pause, and he finished what he should do?She suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

Almost at the same time that Nian had this premonition, she heard a strange flowing sound... and Desire's scream from next door.

Through his own power, Nian could feel that something similar to metal, but not quite metal, rushed into the bathroom next door through the water pipe.

Nian instantly thought of the things Li Ang had warned her about before.

Is this guy... so arrogant?How dare you commit murder in front of her?

Although Nian can't tell what kind of substance is in the water pipes, it does have a trace of metallic properties... and as long as it is metal, it belongs to Nian Quan's control.

Before breaking through the shower head in the bathroom, the fluid flowing in the water pipe stopped abruptly. Upon noticing this, obvious surprise flashed across Trevor's face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nian condensed his own weapon and slammed it on the table.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this in someone else's home, right?"

"Is this...your ability?" Trevor glanced at Nian in surprise, "It's really interesting."

The way he looked at Nian was no longer as indifferent as before, but with a hint of unnoticeable scrutiny.

After thinking for a moment, Trevor said slowly, "What you said does make sense. I apologize for my behavior just now."

As he spoke, Trevor moved his fingers slightly, and then Nian felt that the fluids bound by his power suddenly burst out with a huge force and escaped her control.

But this time, the fluids retreated along the water pipes and completely disappeared from the scope of Nian Quan.

Before retreating, it also blocked the burst showerhead to avoid wasting precious water resources.

"master!"

Maria's exclamation sounded from next door. Listening to the movement there, they seemed to want to come to Nian for help.

"Don't come over! Just stay there!"

Nian immediately stopped their reckless behavior.

The really dangerous guy was sitting right in front of her. What was the difference between letting those two little girls with little fighting ability come over and delivering food to her door?

Fortunately, Maria still heard Nian's shouting, and after a commotion, the next door finally quieted down.

Then, Nian turned his head and looked at Trevor, who was sitting opposite.

During this process, Trevor didn't make any special moves. He just sat there quietly, as if he was enjoying a wonderful drama, clapping his hands to applaud the wonderful performance of Nian and others.

Seeing that Nian's attention returned to himself, Trevor crossed his hands on his chest and said calmly, "Then, let's talk about the entrustment."

"You bastard! Don't you know what politeness is?"

From the beginning, this guy didn't seem to have even looked at her, and had been minding his own business.

After the attack on Desire was revealed, he actually offered to continue the commission as if nothing had happened. Nian didn't know how to describe this guy.

Nian was also angered by Trevor's arrogant attitude. She raised her sword and wanted to teach this arrogant guy an unforgettable lesson.

However, even when Nian held a long sword against his neck, Trevor's attitude did not change at all.

Trevor raised his head slightly, looked at Nian with a complex emotion that she could not understand at all, and whispered, "No matter how similar the appearance is, a beast is still a beast after all."

Regardless of whether Nian understood the meaning of this sentence, Trevor continued,

"Polite? I think I'm polite enough. If you want to do something, then please do so."

"……Humph."

Nian stared at him for a few seconds, then withdrew his sword with a cold snort.

"What, why don't you take action?"

"What can we do if we do it? Even if we dismantle this iron shell, I will still have to clean up the garbage later."

When she used her power, Nian finally discovered what the incongruity she had noticed before was.

The Luper male named Trevor in front of him... was not a real person at all, but an iron shell made entirely of metal. He was nothing more than a remotely controlled puppet.

This puppet is made of some relatively common metals, which also means that it is completely under Nian's control. As long as Nian has a thought, this iron shell can be turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Even if Nian is angry again, he can still understand what choice to make now.

Rather than killing an insignificant puppet, it would be better to first listen to what his commission was.

"This is actually my identity." Trevor said meaningfully.

"Stop talking nonsense and explain your purpose quickly."

"Okay," Trevor nodded, "I will use a total of two commissions this time."

"First, it is an official commission from Rhine Life. I need you to help me find a missing item from Rhine Life. It is very dangerous. It is also a good thing for you to find it as soon as possible."

"Second, it is my private commission. Please tell your boss that I am very interested in the 'Star Pod' fragments in his hands. I hope he can give a price, or... I can also use some of the 'Star Pod' fragments he wants. information in exchange."

"What is this all about?"

Hearing this messy commission, Nian said without any trouble, "You asked us to find the lost items of Rhine Life, but you didn't even tell us what they were, so where should we start looking for them? And... …What is the star pod you are talking about?”

"I think you'd better ask the girl next door about this question. As for the star pod..."

After a pause, Trevor continued, "You know how to tell your boss that."

With that said, Trevor took out something again and placed it on the table in front of him.

Nian took a closer look and saw that it was a check from Casimir United Bank. The number on it made Nian feel stunned.

Regardless of whether they agreed or not, Trevor was ready to leave after leaving the check.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something. He touched his pocket, took out a handful of scattered banknotes, and stuffed them into an empty decorative vase beside him.

"Here's the bathroom repair bill, I think that should be enough."

"Farewell, then."

With Nian's incomprehensible expression, Trevor left the office swaggeringly.

After a long while, Nian finally managed to choke out a few words, "Damn, you're crazy."

Indeed, Nian really can't think of any words to describe this arrogant guy except for neurosis.

In just a few minutes of contact, Nian was very angry with this bastard. In her long life, she had never seen such an arrogant guy.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out what this guy was doing, so Nian decided to go and see what was going on next door first.

The two little girls were probably frightened.

"Are you two okay?"

Pushing open the door next door, what Nian saw was a messy scene. In panic, the two girls knocked over a lot of things, and even the sofa was turned over and blocked in the corner.

Nian looked around the living room, but didn't see Maria and Deste.

"What about people?"

Just when Nian was confused, she saw two heads cautiously poking out from behind the sofa.

"That... master... are you okay?" Maria asked cautiously.

"What are you doing there? Come out quickly."

Realizing the reason why the two were hiding there, Nian suddenly felt a little funny, "What can a broken sofa block? If someone really wants to harm you, this thing is not reliable."

Obviously, they should have turned over the sofa on their own initiative.

The two pushed the sofa to the corner of the room, forming a small hiding place with the wall, where they were hiding just now.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, this at least brought some psychological comfort to the two girls.

"But... there was a sound coming from the bathroom just now, and it was very similar to the sound I heard that night..." Deste hesitated.

Although nothing happened afterwards, the sound and the shower suddenly exploding behind her still frightened her.

She didn't want to experience such a life and death crisis again.

"Well... a madman came to the door, but he has left now. You should be completely safe."

After recalling Trevor's actions, Nian thought for a while and replied.

Since he knew Desire was here, but Trevor still didn't take action, this should mean that he let Desire go.

"perhaps."

Chapter 78 Meanwhile, outside the world

Under the gray-white sky, there is an unchanging scene of doomsday.

After humans disappeared, the power of nature once again defeated civilization. Unknown and strange plants grew over the ruins of the mobile city, making the terrain here more complex than a wasteland.

The only good thing is that there are no dangerous wild animals here, otherwise the already difficult life will probably be even more difficult.

Nearly half a year had passed since he ended up living in this weird place, and Roy had some doubts about why he was still alive.

"Damn... I didn't gain much today. If this continues, there won't be enough food..."

At the end of today's exploration, Roy looked at the half bag of hardened bread in his hand with some distress. This was his only gain after searching three blocks today. This little food was not even enough to replenish the food he had for this day's activities. calories consumed.

But if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to find enough food. Sooner or later, he will starve to death in this hellish place.

The supplies he carried during the mission had been consumed as early as the first month. During this period, all Roy ate was expired food scrounged from all corners of the city.
