Could it be because of my employer's identity? Thinking carefully, I didn't employ Skadi in the previous world line... Oh, look at what happened. Although most of the money I had on my study tour was distributed to those in need along the way, I have many friends. Right on Rhodes Island, I could easily find rich women like Pepe and Jessica and borrow a few digits.

Forget it, it’s all in the past. At least now I have figured out the key points, right?

Chen Huijie waved to Skadi, asked her to sit down, and continued:

"Let's find a suitable place to talk. We can't have a fight between the two of us. It would tear up several streets. That's not okay. Okay, let's get back to the point. Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

"cough!"

Listening to Chen Huijie's words, Skadi calmed down the restlessness in his heart, sat down opposite Chen Huijie and said seriously:

"I'm here to report on the things I dealt with today."

Chen Huijie thought for a moment and said:

"Those things... those about the auxiliary police?"

"Correct."

"But the auxiliary police's mission report should be..."

"You are my employer."

Skadi continued seriously:

"All my missions should be reported only to you. I've already told that Officer Xingxiong about this, but she couldn't convince me."

"Come on, let me hear what you've been up to."

Chen Huijie silently sympathized with Xingxiong for a few seconds. He had also experienced Skadi's stubbornness before. Sometimes she was even more stubborn than that old lynx Kal'tsit, so Xingxiong was probably going to be tortured for a while. But why didn't she contact me...

'ding dong'

Well, Xingxiong’s news came, and Chen Huijie seemed to have seen the situation on Xingxiong’s side - facing Skadi who disappeared after turning the corner, Xingxiong hurriedly looked around, and after not finding Skadi, he hurriedly reported to himself.

But now, there are no Black-Coat Shadow Guards guarding his side. On the one hand, he originally planned to leave here immediately. On the other hand, the Black-Coat Shadow Guards do not have many people. It is better to let them do other things than to let them guard him all the time.

Therefore, Chen Huijie did not receive an advance warning, but there was still a problem:

How did Skadi know I was here?

"I don't know. I felt like I could smell you here, so I just came over here."

???

Faced with Skadi's answer, a series of question marks popped up in Chen Huijie's head. For a moment, Chen Huijie wondered if Miss Skadi had mistaken his race, or if killer whales really had such ability, but he just didn't know it yet.

Looking at Skadi's innocent little eyes, Chen Huijie decided to end this insignificant detail.

After sending a message to Xingxiong to reassure her, and then listening to Skadi's report, Chen Huijie nodded, stood up, and said to the Dragon Gate map behind him:

"Since you've come to me to report on your mission, I'll also arrange your work for tomorrow. Let me think about it. Hmm, after you wake up tomorrow, report to the Guards' duty station here. If I'm not mistaken, there should still be some restless guys here that haven't been dealt with. You can go and scare them off, but don't cause any deaths or demolish too many buildings. Oh, and about this area, there are some other things I need to remind you of..."

Although Chen Huijie did not receive any reports from the vicinity of the duty point, during the process of reconciling accounts with Governor Wei and the Rat King, according to the plan that had been slightly modified by them, the progress of the advancement of that street should be slightly slower than he had originally planned, resulting in more manpower being trapped there later.

Therefore, let Skadi go over and "cut the Gordian knot" and prevent any unnecessary trouble from arising over there.

On Skadi's side, the little killer whale scratched her head. She did find this place by following the smell, but Skadi couldn't explain what that "smell" was.

It's just that this "smell" was very useful to Skadi at first! It allowed her to go directly to Chen Huijie, but now...

Maybe it's not that easy to use. Why did it become like this? Shouldn't I be able to ask for some reward or compensation after reporting it myself, after the employer gives me recognition? How did it become a situation where I'm being 'nagged'?

Skadi felt that her brain, which had not been used for a long time, was becoming very tired. Every word of Chen Huijie's explanations drilled into her ears, like a lullaby, making her sleepy.

But...why...does it feel familiar?

I seem to have been in this situation before, and my young employer seemed to be talking to me in the same way, just the content was different, but his focused look was still the same...

what....

That 'smell' appeared again...

No, it's not the smell, it's... the 'sound', a 'sound' like the waves, and it is this 'sound' that makes him mistakenly associate it with the smell of sea water.

This sound seemed to come from within her own body, or from Chen Huijie, or perhaps from both. In short, amidst this "sound," Skadi began to drift off to sleep, and then...

The dream is immersed in the wet starlight, the inverted night sky is rippling with ripples, stardust sinks to the bottom of the sea like broken silver, and the moisture condenses into the tentacles of invisible jellyfish, carrying the cruising crowd to float towards the dome.

But only Skadi did not join this journey.

She sat on a reef bleached white by moonlight, where the waves shattered into phosphorescent flames, occasionally flooding her sandy boots. The greatsword was stabbed at her side, its spine reflecting the silhouettes swimming across the sky.

On the other side of Skadi sat a girl in a scarlet dance dress. Her wide-brimmed hat was pulled down low, revealing only the tips of her hair, which was as pale as Skadi's. The silver strands were combed into similar arcs by the sea breeze.

There was no opening remarks, no chance of meeting. When Skadi realized that this was a dream, the salty wind had been blowing foam through her fingers for a long time. The cruisers passed over their heads, their sleeves shattering the starlight like wrinkled silk, while the girl in red was still as quiet as a reef.

Suddenly, the girl in red spoke:

"Are you a hunter?"

Her voice is ethereal and beautiful.

"Yes."

"Do you like hunting?"

Faced with this question, Skadi was stunned for a moment, but answered without hesitation.

"I wouldn't say I like them, but these terrifying creatures are constantly threatening the lives of my compatriots, and someone needs to fight them."

"That's not the way to hunt."

"?????"

A series of question marks popped up in Skadi's head. She began to feel that the direction of this conversation and this dream was not what she expected.

"You should be the most valuable prey to hunt."

The girl in red said sincerely.

"Let that prey become our compatriot, and let that prey always be within our sight."

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Skadi couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly.

Opposite her, the girl in red seemed to think carefully for a long time, then nodded.

"I don't know either. I'm just the remnant of a dream."

"Remnants of what dream?"

"I don't know, you shouldn't ask me."

The girl in red looked at Skadi and said seriously:

"That's not my dream, it's your dream. You should ask yourself."

"ask me?"

"Yes, I'm asking you."

The girl in red continued:

"All I know is that I have to hunt, to catch the most important prey, so that he can always listen to my singing, and have only me in his eyes, just like now."

The girl extended a slender finger, pointing into the distance. At the end of her sight, the line separating the sea level from the night sky vanished into thin air. Everything blended together, indistinguishable from one another.

"Just like this, we will be with our prey forever."

"...Goodbye, I have to go."

At this moment, Skadi silently picked up the sword and stood up. A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the girl in red, and she asked:

"Are you going hunting?"

"Yes, I'm going to hunt, but not the kind of hunting you mentioned. I don't understand why I should stay with the prey. The prey will only be hunted."

Skadi spoke coolly about her fate, but after she finished, Skadi and the girl in red fell into silence at the same time. After waiting for a while, the girl in red asked:

"Why don't you leave? Don't you want to leave?"

".....You should let me out."

Skadi sat down again silently, put down her sword, looked at the girl in red and said:

"Such obstruction is meaningless. I already know this is a dream."

"This is your dream. It has nothing to do with me. It's you who doesn't want to leave."

The girl in red sat on the rock with her legs curled up and said with a smile:

"If you don't know what to do next, then sing with me. Singing is always the right thing to do. Your promise may be in the song."

But at this moment, before Skadi could say anything, a sharp explosion sounded. Skadi and the girl in red looked up at the same time and saw a crack of red and gold suddenly appearing in the sky above the dream, and then...

Skadi opened her eyes and saw Chen Huijie brushing her nose with a soft-bristled brush. At this moment, she was lying on the lap of this young employer. Before she could think about it, she couldn't help but sneeze. Chen Huijie smiled and said:

"Young people are good, just fall asleep right away."

While Chen Huijie was joking, Skadi discovered that the two of them had changed offices without knowing when...

343 Didi: This is damn sweet

Looking at Chen Huijie in front of her, Skadi subconsciously wanted to snatch the brush that was tickling her, and then tickle Chen Huijie's nose in return. Miss Skadi never likes to suffer losses.

But when Skadi grabbed it, she found that things were not as she thought. She was still in a dream, but half asleep and half awake. She was indeed lying on Chen Huijie's thigh, but the brush did not exist, and scratching her nose did not exist either. It was just her illusion.

In reality, the real Chen Huijie simply put down the document in his hand, looked at himself, smiled and said that.

Skadi looked at the surroundings. This was obviously not the office she was in just now. Could it be that the layout that the young employer had just told her about was just a dream?

For a moment, Skadi's eyes were a little dazed, and she suddenly couldn't tell what was real and what was illusion.

"That office just now belongs to Governor Wei. I'm just borrowing it temporarily to handle official business. Once I'm done with my business, I'll naturally vacate the room."

At this time, Chen Huijie suddenly spoke. As soon as he spoke, Skadi's mind suddenly stabilized, as if she had found support, and her eyes flickered as she looked at Chen Huijie.

"But your sleep quality is really great. I moved you from over there to here, so you probably didn't wake up. Oh, I'm really enviable."

Chen Huijie said jokingly:

"But since you're awake, why don't you get up from my legs? Honestly, you're quite heavy, and carrying you here really tired me out. If I hadn't used my Qi to hold you back, my legs would have been numb."

Hearing this, Skadi, who was originally a little dazed and melancholy, immediately puffed up her face. Without any hesitation, she raised her head slightly and then dropped it again. Although her weight was indeed a little heavier, it was not that heavy. Even Skadi would not be happy with such a joke!

When Skadi moved, she realized that the ground under her head was indeed soft, as if she was resting her head on a ball of air. This was definitely not the feeling that flesh should have.

Skadi immediately stood up and turned to look at Chen Huijie behind him. After enduring for several seconds, he couldn't help but ask:

"When I was in solitary confinement, I heard the prison guard say, 'Although you're not in good health, you're a good fighter,' so why is your strength so weak?'"

"First of all, my poor health only happened a few days ago. I'm almost back to normal now. Secondly, I'm indeed a good fighter, but that doesn't conflict with my lack of strength."

Chen Huijie was reviewing the documents in his hand slowly and explaining to Skadi casually. On Skadi's side, the little killer whale hesitated for a moment and decisively stretched out his hand towards Chen Huijie. However, Skadi's movements were very light, and he tried his best to control his strength for fear of hurting Chen Huijie.

Chen Huijie did not resist and let Skathi hold his arm. Skathi was slightly stunned, then held Chen Huijie's arm and shook it gently from side to side.

Oh, he really has very little strength.

Skadi blinked blankly. Could this person actually be a sorcerer? Even if he was, this power was... No, that wasn't the point. If I held my young employer, would he be completely unable to escape?

This inexplicable thought made Skadi's heart skip a beat, but before she could think about it, Chen Huijie smiled calmly and said softly:

"Be careful, I'm about to start."

Hearing this, Skadi immediately calmed down and prepared to be alert to the spells that might attack from the surroundings, but she did not wait for the spells to come. Chen Huijie did not use talismans to hit her. He simply allowed the true energy that had just dormant to return to normal operation.

Then, Skadi felt that the arm in her hand suddenly became unshakable, and she was unable to move it at all for a while.

Just as Skadi was about to increase her strength, Skadi's eyes suddenly blurred, and Chen Huijie's arm broke free from Skadi's palm with amazing skills, and then tried to grab the wrist of the little killer whale, but Skadi also kept up with Chen Huijie's speed and wanted to catch him again, but Chen Huijie changed his moves again, causing the two men's hands to face each other.

Afterwards, Skadi felt an overwhelming force coming at her, and she was almost pushed to the ground. In the end, she had to support her body with a greatsword.

"Okay, stop it."

At this time, Chen Huijie quickly waved his hand, signaling Skadi to stop:

"If we keep fighting, I really can't help but spar with you. This is not good. So, sit down and talk about other things. Skadi, are you still troubled by the remnants of Isamara?"

"Uh-huh?!"
