The Riddler Get Out of Terra

"But knowing doesn't mean accepting, and accepting doesn't mean taking it for granted, right?"

What Hao Zhao said next made her chuckle, and she couldn't help but say: "Why do you always know everything? Did you think of these things before you left Longmen?"

"Because before I became the director of the Xiacheng District Guard Bureau, Zhuge Kongming and I were friends and we rented a house together."

Hao Zhao took a sip and said calmly:

"Sometimes you have to endure what kind of troubles you are in,

When I was just a little person who first came to Longmen, I had no idea about Kong Ming. He just wanted to take down Longmen, and I didn't care - what did it have to do with me if Longmen was gone at that time?Do you want me, a little-known person, to be responsible for Longmen? "

"Later I became the director of Xiacheng District, and you know what I did."

"So? You mean you want me to accept all this?"

Star Bear asked him.

"No, what I mean is that if the director of Xiacheng District doesn't want to do it, he can find another kind of life."

Hao Zhao handed her a written document. Xingxiong glanced at it. It was a document signed by the Rat King himself, recommending Xingxiong, the director of Xiacheng District, to join the Shangcheng District Guards Bureau as the chief inspector. The Rat King had already signed it. Lin Gerui's name was inscribed, and the recommender's signature was only waiting for Xing Xiong's signature.

Chapter 348 Starry Night, It’s Starry Night

Xingxiong drank for a long time, as if he wanted to vent all the boredom caused by not drinking alcohol all the time since he became the director. Sister Gui drank one cup after another in front of Hao Zhao, and in the end Rosemary no longer felt any more. Instead of making wine for Xing Xiong, he took out the Yanguo liquor stored in the cellar and let Xing Xiong drink it.

Only when Hao Zhao was around could she dare to get so drunk.

The exchange between the new director and Hao Zhao was short and concise. She didn't ask him if he wanted to come back, and he didn't say how well Xing Xiong performed. She knew that he would take action if he was dissatisfied, and he would criticize if he noticed something was wrong. When she came back, what was handed to her would not be a document that could be transferred to Shangcheng District at any time, but a notice that Mr. Hao Zhao would assume an important position in Longmen.

He also knew that Xingxiong must have done the best she could, but the current situation was like this, there were always choices, so he asked for a favor from the Rat King to give her a chance to choose.

It is not good for people to know each other too well. When they get together, a simple sign replaces the need for conversation, so that when others see them meeting, they only see a long silence, and their eyes are mostly words without speculation, only two people. People who understand each other know in their hearts that what needs to be said has been said, and there is no need to say anything more.

When the ghost sister was really drunk and lay on the table with her eyes narrowed, Hao Zhao nodded to Rosemary. The charming bartender smiled and helped Xingxiong up, and carried the ghost tribe to the lounge behind the bar.

Before she entered the Lower City Guards Bureau, she would stay here many nights. Rosemary taught her how to judge a person's general information, while Xingxiong wore a business suit, put on a stiff smile, and talked while drinking. Find out the other person's background from the message.

Hao Zhao waited at the bar until Rose Die returned. He picked up a snow-white towel and wiped the wine glass. The man didn't say anything more, just nodded, and left gracefully to get drunk.

"Stop hiding, he's gone."

Rosemary calmly wiped the clean and disinfected transparent wine glass in her hands. The water droplets dissipated in the bright white towel, like Hao Zhao's shadow disappearing outside the hotel not long ago.

Xingxiong walked out of the shadows depressed, and watched Rose pick up the wine glasses they had finished drinking not long ago and throw them into the sink, with a forced smile on his face:

"He finally chose to leave here."

At this moment, Sister Gui's voice was hoarse. She no longer saw the turmoil in the Guards Bureau, and she was extremely disappointed.

"if not?"

Rosemary took out the ice cubes from under the bar, put it in the glass, picked up the stirring stick and started to spin it. With just the force of her wrist, the rapidly rotating ice cubes froze beautiful ice flowers on the glass.

"As you said, he is indeed the type of person who has no interest in water cutting."

Xingxiong parted his lips and smiled, picked up the work clothes placed inside the bar and put on a set of clothes. The boss of Xinghai Bar, who had been away from Xinghai Bar for several months, reappeared:

"Let me help."

"Okay," Rosemary stepped aside, leaving space for Xing Xiong. She picked up the stirring rod and turned it around. The ice in the glass slowly slowed down hesitantly following the light. She picked up the stored wine in another place and poured it in sequence:

"Many bartending skills are tied to art, so the price of a cup of water cutter has increased more than ten times just because of the ice flowers on the cup. Hao Zhao doesn't like water cutter because he doesn't like red tape and pretense. Sir Xing There’s no need to feel lost.”

"...In other words, he treats me as a brother?"

Star Bear asked back.

"It's not like being of the opposite sex anyway."

Rosemary handed her the ice-blue "Moonfall" with her backhand, and stuffed a slice of lemon into the deceitful blue liquor - Xinghai Bar's strong cocktail ranked sixth, the ice-blue liquor was slightly sour and astringent, with high alcohol content. But it is as strong as the imagined love. After a glass of drunkenness, the love metabolizes and disappears like wine.

It's really a glass of wine.

"Then thank you for your comfort!"

Xing Xiong took it and took a sip, then put the wine glass into the sink. Ever since he threw the wine glass into the sink after drinking and broke it, and Rosemary Lion opened his mouth to claim compensation, Sir Xing has treated all kinds of people. The level of care in the utensils has undoubtedly increased a lot.

·

Hao Zhao didn't know what Xingxiong or others thought, or in other words, he pretended not to know.

"Why don't you talk to her more? I think that person from the ghost tribe likes you."

Xi's hands wandered on his shoulders again and whispered - again, the escape of the beast in disguise is of paramount importance to the Yan Kingdom.

Si Suitai would never allow Sui Xiang to escape their sight as it was a major event that needed to be prevented, and it was not that Da Yan had no sight inside Longmen.

So Xi Bao could only talk in Hao Zhao's ear, not daring to reveal any signs to outsiders.

Hao Zhao retorted: "I'm afraid you'll be jealous."

"what?!"

Xi Bao had an expression on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Please, I am one of the prime ministers, how could I be with you..."

As she spoke, her momentum weakened - mainly because she realized that Hao Zhao beat the remains of the real dragon and the incarnation of the beast as easily as a father beat his son. Xi Bao always felt a bit uncomfortable saying that he was an ordinary human being on this land. Ignorant of conscience.

"What are we?"

Hao Zhao became unwilling to give up.

"...You...you short-lived species with a limited lifespan! You don't even have enough time to pay attention to this land, and you actually think that there are feelings that transcend race?!"

Xi Bao searched for a long time in her memory before stumbling to come up with a term that she didn't even know was accurate. After all, it was unclear whether the existence of Hao Zhao, who beat the immortals violently, was a short-lived species. She could only Let’s talk about Hao Zhao’s age.

"That's it, then that's it."

Hao Zhao gave up the pursuit and walked through a dark alley far away. He suddenly stopped, looked into the darkness, laughed dumbly, and walked into the darkness:

"Should I say you're shy or cold?"

The orange cat teased.

"I wish you could call this a little struggle of not wanting to see you."

So says the man in the dark.

"Then you should know that such a long distance makes it harder for me to ignore you, just like distinguishing a drunkard wearing black clothes in the daytime. You can see clearly at a glance."

Hao Zhao said, with a slight smile on his face, knowing the identity of the guy approaching in the dark clearly:

"I have already transferred your files and existence to Rosedie at Xinghai Bar. You have collaborated a lot with her in the past few months, right? I believe you will be very happy with the follow-up cooperation."

"Everything promised to you has been completed, and all the choices prepared for you have been prepared. So, former director of the Longmen Shangcheng District Guards Bureau Jiu, what do you think?"

"...I don't know," Jiu was silent for a while and finally answered him: "But I'm definitely not traveling with you."

"That's such a pity - so... the agreement is over, and the rest depends on your own ability?"

Hao Zhao said with great regret in a voice that showed no regrets at all.

Chapter 349 Farewell, Longmen

"Are you leaving today?"

Hao Zhao's disapproval made Jiu silent for a moment before continuing the conversation in a low voice.

"Do we have to wait until tomorrow to go through all the entertainment before leaving?"

Hao Zhao asked back.

He pointed to a patch of bright neon light outside the darkness and asked Jiu coldly:

"Is it the Dragon Gate or the ideal that is important to you? Is it morality or duty?"

"For me, ideals are more important than Longmen, and morality is much brighter than all the prosperity I am experiencing right now."

Those heavy golden pupils stared at Jiu's distinctive and determined eyes, and formally said what Hao Zhao had been holding in his heart for a long time:

"When does the singing and dancing outside the mountains stop? How can travelers ask Jiuzhou? Only looking at the eternal events in the world is half fishy cheese and half autumn. You are satisfied when you see Xiacheng District getting better, but I can see further and understand deeper than you. It’s also greater than you, a coward trapped in the Dragon Gate who can’t get out!”

"You think it is important to maintain the bonds and status of Longmen, but I have been wrapped up in ideals and responsibilities, and I feel unparalleled eagerness and happiness. How can I tolerate spending time on ineffective things? "

After saying that, the orange cat turned around and left, no longer communicating with Jiu Zuo.

When you meet a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine are too little, and a few words are enough to talk without speculation. The more you communicate with Jiu, the more you can see the embarrassment that this person is trapped in a cage called Dragon Gate and the Infected. If we talk about the first The first time he left Longmen, Hao Zhao had five wishes to recruit Jiu, but today he didn't even have one.

This person will not be able to walk firmly on a certain path unless he has experienced unforgettable failure and has not seen the tragic image of a broken world and a collapsed world.

Her world includes Longmen, as well as the identity and existence of Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen. She may treat Hao Zhao as a respectful guest in interpersonal relationships, but when pursuing her ideals, they must be enemies.

The more he looked at her, the more Hao Zhao could see the difficulty of the idiots who changed life on Terra. When dealing with these people who have engraved the old era into their bones, they must not be merciful or let go in the slightest!

His figure quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving only Jiu's figure hiding in the darkness.

"...Eager? Didn't you say you wanted to travel? What does travel have to do with ideals?"

Is it possible that you can still find a country where you can be in a high position and realize your ideal?

Jiu took back the palm that he almost stretched out, and looked at the empty eyes before Hao Zhao inexplicably after he left - Hao Zhao is a Yanguo native, could any land country appoint him?

In the end, he will eventually return to Longmen and display his talents here, so is there any problem in establishing a good relationship with Lin Yuxia, Chen Heshihuaiya and others who will eventually inherit Longmen?

Jiu couldn't understand Hao Zhao's high spirits and eagerness to try. In the end, he could only think that the former director was a rare guy who had no common sense in this area. He was young and energetic and could not control himself.

Alas, I have to contact the frustrated Sir Xing tomorrow.

We need to continue to monitor the implementation of treatment for infected people in the district.

She sighed and began to mentally map out tomorrow's planning process.

·

After communicating with Jiu, Hao Zhao left Longmen very smoothly.

He easily bypassed the interactive night market in the upper and lower city areas, walked past the night patrol team that had been reorganized by the Guards Bureau officers in the past few months, and also directed at the two officers who had been patrolling the city when he entered the Guards Bureau. Wave.

Finally, with their doubtful but pretending "yes, we have done good things and good things" in their eyes, we walked into the exit of the city and walked out of the dragon gate step by step.

Of course, there is also a little bit of luck involved in such a smooth process——

For example, in Rosemary's field of vision, Xing Xiong rarely put on the bartender's work clothes to mix drinks, such as in Yaexia's field of vision, Lin Yuxia, who was extremely disappointed, pulled Shihuai Ya in the food stall and ordered ten boxes of beer and poured it into her mouth with all her strength. , and another example is the brightly lit Chen’s home in the eyes of the few shadows left by Kong Ming.

He avoided all the people he might meet along the way, as if with divine help, and left Longmen late at night under the watchful eye of the black raindrops. This really benefited from strangling many possibilities of meeting others.

His neck felt slightly itchy, and his shoulders felt like they were being pressed down by a heavy object. Hao Zhao turned his head and saw an indigo-colored beast with two light green horns and a back horn leaning on his right shoulder. With a big head and a small tail, she is so cute that even a strong man like Hao Zhao wants to grab her at the junction of the tail flame and the tip of the tail and lift her up to test the weight.

Well, it's like a fisherman dragging a fish around by its tail.

"Wow, freedom is better than staying in a painting."

Xi Bao lay on Hao Zhao's shoulder and turned to look at Longmen with him, his tail slapping behind him.

She has a general feeling about freedom. After all, unlike Nian, who is so afraid of loneliness, Xibao is more accustomed to hiding in the studio and not moving, facing a piece of drawing paper and writing out her thoughts in seconds. The description of calligraphy and painting makes it difficult for her to express her feelings about freedom, such as "Life is precious, love is even more valuable, and both can be thrown away for the sake of freedom."

But I still have the courage to run out and cheer after successfully passing the last wave of inspections. Not only that, I have a lot of courage.

"Hold on."

Hao Zhao shook his shoulders, and Xi's chubby animal body rose and fell following his movements. Four claws that were almost invisible if you didn't look carefully were firmly entwined under the body to grab Hao Zhao's clothes. The great painter immediately turned around and twisted his tail. Lie down.

"Are you going to Kazdare? Or are you going to travel somewhere else first? If you're going to have a look outside, it's not impossible for me to go out with you to collect information~"

Xi Bao looked quite happy to be able to leave the bleak future behind him and leave the Yan Kingdom. The little beast that used to be quite content just sitting in the studio was now jumping on Hao Zhao's shoulders, following Hao Zhao around in daily life. All the options that were impossible to come up with were mentioned.

"That day may have to wait a long, long time."

Hao Zhao said softly, walking forward step by step, getting faster and faster. When he left the gantry and reached a certain range, the orange cat's body lightened up, and the magnetic field around it connected with the large magnetic field covering the entire Terra, and flew directly on the land of Terra. above.

"long time?"

Xi clung to the orange cat's shoulder, her orange-red pupils staring at the earth farther and farther away, and shouted amidst the increasingly sharp wind.

"But I can guarantee that by then you will be able to travel freely across this land without having to worry about anyone seeking revenge or being under pervasive surveillance. Neither the beast nor the painter will have any prejudice."

Hao Zhao stretched out his hand towards the strong wind, and the violent force moved along the wind current, and the clouds covering the entire night sky were exploded in an instant!

Farewell, Longmen, farewell, Dayan, I hope that when we meet again, everything will be finalized!

(The Wanderer Volume, end!)

End of volume testimonials

Well...as you can see, the Rongrong volume, which is the longest volume in the book, has come to an end!

To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to give up. There are still many pitfalls that have not been written out, and there are still many foreshadowings that have not been buried. However, as Ayan read it, he felt that there was too much redundancy and it was not suitable to continue this volume.
