Chapter 217 [Big people, little people]

Chapter 210 [Big Man, Little Man]

After the meal, Chen Nuo went back to the room arranged for him to rest.

The room is located on the far left of the third floor of the main building of the manor. The room is large and comfortable.Moreover, with the financial resources of the Octopus Monster Organization, any desired enjoyment can be obtained here.

However, Chen Nuo was destined to have no intention of focusing on these matters.

This night, Chen Nuo let himself restrain all the messy thoughts, entered the state of emptying his mind, entered the inner vision, and nourished his spiritual power little by little, so that he could reach the best state. .

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Nuo got up on time and sorted out his disguise in the bathroom again. After confirming that he had no flaws, Chen Nuo was satisfied.

Then go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.

Chen Nuo thought that he was coming early, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he found that there were already many people sitting in the restaurant.

At the dining table closest to the door, sat a shriveled middle-aged man with short gray hair and a wrinkled coat, holding a spoon and drinking soup with his head down.

When Chen Nuo looked over, the guy immediately looked back, and the two immediately separated as soon as their eyes met, and then the other continued to lower his head and drink the soup, his expression indifferent and withdrawn.

Chen Nuo noticed that at this guy's feet, there was a cat with gray fur lying on the ground, crawling on the ground meekly, licking his paws carelessly.

Grey cat Blake, Psychic-Chen Nuo made a judgment on this person's identity in his heart.

On the second table from the right by the window, two people were seated.

One is an old man with white hair, wearing a suit, and the collar of the shirt inside is meticulous and neat.A pair of old-fashioned glasses are on the bridge of the nose.

This is "Professor" Junker - the name Junker should be a typical Germanic surname.

And sitting at a table with the professor is "Order" Bonfrey.

This orderer seems to be much more casual. He is about [-] years old and has an elegant manner. The suit on his body is very well-cut, and there is a gentleman's walking stick beside the chair. The handle is inlaid with silver and shiny. .

The professor and the orderer apparently knew each other, sitting at a table and talking in a low voice.And the two had obviously had breakfast and were slowly drinking coffee.

The orderer is holding the coffee cup in one hand, while the other hand rests lightly on the armrest of the seat, holding an ancient-looking pocket watch in his palm, as if casually and gently opening and closing the pocket watch. superior.

The first time Chen Nuo walked in, the two of them immediately turned to look at them.

The orderer Bonfrey first smiled and nodded at Chen Nuo, while the professor frowned, but nodded with a cold face.

Chen Nuo smiled and walked over.

"Good morning, Mr. Professor, Mr. Orderer."

"Good morning... um, should I call you Mr. Bigfoot, or Harvey?" The Orderer Bonfrey answered.

This aristocratic-looking guy has a magnetic voice and a gentle tone.

"It's okay, the name doesn't matter." Chen Nuo smiled and looked at the professor.

The professor hesitated, then said, "Are you going to sit down? Harvey?"

However, looking at his face and eyes, it was clear that he was not very welcome.

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "No, the two of you should be talking about things, so I won't bother. I still have friends here, so I'll excuse you."

After speaking, he smiled and walked away.

The professor looked at Chen Nuo's back with a gloomy expression, while Bonfrey kept a polite smile on his face.

"You don't seem to like him?" Bonfrey whispered.

"A notorious guy." The professor shook his head.

·Chen Nuo walked to the table where he sat yesterday.At this table, that Ryoko Sato was already sitting there, concentrating on spreading a large piece of butter on the bread.

As if she was too focused on doing this, she didn't even raise her head when Chen Nuo walked in front of her.

"Miss Ryoko, can I sit here?" Chen Nuo greeted in Japanese with a smile.

Ryoko Sato raised his head, blinked his small eyes a few times, and then immediately got up and bowed: "Of course! Please, Mr. Harvey."

Chen Nuo sat down and first summoned an adapted maid: "A cup of coffee, add sugar and milk."

"Okay sir." The maid quickly smiled politely: "Then what do you need for breakfast?"

"Fried eggs, bacon, and toast, all-wheat."

After the maid withdrew, Sato Ryoko looked at Chen Nuo with a smile: "I thought a Westerner like you would like black coffee."

"No, I like to pursue the taste." Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "The pursuit of sweetness is the commonality of most human beings. After all, only a few people like black coffee."

The coffee was brought up quickly. Chen Nuo stirred it twice with a spoon and looked at Ryoko Sato: "Did you rest last night?"

"Of course, the food here is simply delicious." Sato Ryoko smiled happily.

Well...this guy isn't here to eat and drink...

"Mr. Harvey, have you been to RB? You speak Japanese very well."

"Uh..." Chen Nuo thought for a while, then lied casually, and said with a smile, "I had an RB girlfriend."

"I see." Sato Ryoko nodded seriously.

Then Chen Nuo chatted casually with Sato Ryoko while eating breakfast.

It is easy to ask some of her situation from Sato Ryoko's mouth.

Ryoko Sato claims to be 28 years old this year. A year ago, that is, in the first 27 years of her life, she was just an ordinary RB social animal.

Ordinary family background, ordinary college graduation, ordinary job...

Last year, he awakened his ability and became a psychic power user.

By her own account, she was horrified by the change at first.

Then, when the fear and apprehension receded, came the ecstasy that followed.

This emotional change is very human.

Ryoko Sato began to secretly use his abilities to obtain some small benefits for himself.

For example, using the powerful memory of the psychic, his work ability has been improved a lot, and he has been promoted in a short period of time.

For another example, she used her ability to secretly teach two evil colleagues in the company who often bullied her, as well as two hooligans near her residence.

Then, Sato Ryoko suddenly found that this kind of life is too boring-the ability that he possesses should not limit himself to this boring life of ordinary people.

With this extraordinary ability, you should live a better life and have a more wonderful life - just like in superhero movies.

Last year, Sato Ryoko accidentally met an able friend who was also in RB because of his ability.Then the friend introduced her to a website that was frequented by psychics through the Internet.

That website is not an octopus monster's website, and it doesn't have much reputation in the underground world.

But on that site, Sato Ryoko opened a door to the underground world.

Two months later, because of the successful completion of two commissions on that small website, Sato Ryoko entered the field of vision of the Octopus Monster Organization.

By the way, the organization of the octopus monster will always pay attention to the dynamics of the underground world, and pay attention to the websites where there are many underground world capable people. Once they find outstanding people and outstanding people, they will invite them.

- Similar to the crawler of the portal website.

So, Ryoko Sato got an invitation from the Octopus Monster website.

She got a USB stick.

Black iron level.

It is officially a member of the Octopus Monster website, although it is only one of the bottom members.

However, when it comes to this official mission, Chen Nuo curiously asked the other party a question: How did such an important official mission, a low-level member of the black iron level, successfully pass the application?
"I made an application, and it was quickly rejected." Sato Ryoko smiled proudly: "But I was not reconciled. I then sent a small video to the official account that sent me the rejection message, and I recorded it. I made a video of my ability to use it, and then posted it.

And then... a few days later, I passed. "

Well, he is also a very smart guy, and he is not willing to be ordinary, and has the ambition and ambition to change his own destiny.

Chen Nuo sighed in his heart.

but……

These messages are all from Sato Ryoko himself.

Is it true... Chen Nuo would not believe it easily.

Moreover, during the conversation, neither of them mentioned anything about yesterday. Regarding the accident yesterday, the death of Luke the Lion, everyone seemed to ignore this topic.

·
At about 08:30, Vanel walked into the restaurant. Walking in with him was the beautiful, tough and dangerous maid Selena.

"Everyone!"

Varnell stood at the door of the restaurant and opened his mouth with a loud laugh.

"...Good morning, everyone! My friends! I think after everyone's rest last night and a delicious breakfast, the task that every friend has been looking forward to for a long time begins.

So... we're 10 minutes later, in the conference room on the second floor for our first pre-task meeting! "

Several ability users in the restaurant who participated in the quest immediately raised their spirits and looked at Varnell.

"Do you have any comments?"

Varnell looked very good.

"No problem, Varnell, we should have started long ago."

The first person to speak was Bonfrey, the orderer. The aristocratic guy smiled and said, "I've been here for three days and I think it's time to start working."

The professor nodded.

Chen Nuo and Sato Ryoko did not speak.

"I have a question."

A dry, high-pitched voice sounded—this guy's voice was like the sound of scratching the bottom of a plate with a fork.

The one who spoke was "Grey Cat" Blake, the most withdrawn guy in the restaurant.

Blake sat there, holding his grey cat in his hands, gently following the fur on the cat's back, looking at Varnell coldly

"Mr. Black, please say your question." Varnell's expression remained unchanged.

"Yesterday's accident... We don't have enough people now. I want to know how you guys solved this problem."

"Naturally, new friends will come to fill the position."

Blake said coldly: "This is my problem! I don't want to see any personal hatred among the new members! In case there is a fight again during the execution of the mission , that could jeopardize the safety of all of us."

Varnell looked a little embarrassed, but he still answered quickly: "I understand your concerns, Blake. But I can guarantee that a similar situation will not happen to the new members."

"How to guarantee?" Blake insisted.

"...I can first announce the list of members who haven't arrived yet, you can judge for yourself, Mr. Black," Varnell replied.

Blake nodded. "Please tell me! I think everyone in this room would like to know this list."

"The first one is Mr. Bruno, known as the 'sea monster' from Northern Europe."

When the name was spoken, several people present all showed slight changes in their expressions.

Because of this "sea monster" Bruno, he has become famous in the underground world in recent years!
·
In the underground world is often a strict hierarchy.

It is currently known that the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid are those who are known as "controllers".

Among them, it naturally includes the Queen of the Starry Sky, as well as big men like wizards.

These people are recognized as the top class among the underground world capable people.

In the underground world, people are often curious and gossip about who is the strongest among the few known controllers.

Various rankings and various guesses often become the focus of debate on the website.

However, because it is almost impossible to have that kind of life-and-death battle between the controllers, everyone has taken a posture of retreating from the war between the controllers. Therefore, such strong and weak guesses are often impossible to draw because there is no real hammer. A ranking that convinces everyone.

but! !
In the past two years, everyone has been recognized by almost everyone for one thing.

That is, except for the dozen or so perverted controllers...

Under the master, the "sea monster" is the strongest!
Recognized grading.

Under the control, is the destroyer.

And it is said that this "sea monster" Mr. Bruno has already stood at the top of the vandals!

His strength is only one line away from breaking through to the master.

Well, in the terms of later generations, it is the half-step master...

Nonsence!

Half-step master.

And everyone also recognizes that this Mr. Kraken is the most promising candidate to break through the realm and become the next big boss among all the known abilities!
By the way, yesterday Warnell smugly told Chen Nuo that another "big man" will come today.

The "big man" in Warnell's mouth is the "sea monster" Bruno.

Indeed, if Chen Nuo is not counted, the ranking is only based on the strength of the eight selected members of this official mission.

The sea monster Bruno is definitely the boss who can overwhelm everyone present.

·
"I heard that you played against this sea monster?" Bonfrey whispered to the professor beside him.

The professor's face was calm, and he took a sip of coffee: "He is indeed very strong, above me."

"My old friend, such an answer does not fit your pride."

"In the underground world, strength is respected. Strong is strong, and weak is weak." The professor said lightly: "The loss to him was a duel between two people. My strength is not as good as his, so if I lose, I will lose.

Bonfrey sighed: "Even if you lost to him, I'm not even an opponent."

Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, all those present were power users, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"Grey Cat" Blake's face was calm and nodded: "So, what about the second candidate?"

"Second, you don't have to worry, Blake. I don't think anyone in this room has any old feud with the second inductee."

Varnell said indifferently: "Because, the second candidate is our company. Last night, after very difficult work and a huge price, we finally invited a more important person!"

Chen Nuo sighed when he heard this.

really!

"The second big man is a master controller!" Vanel said coldly.

This time, everyone in the audience was silent.

controller!
In the underground world, the controller is the existence standing on the cloud to everyone present.

"Okay... I admit that there is no problem with what you said." Blake smiled bitterly: "I asked myself that I haven't the ability to make enmity with a master controller."

The professor and the orderer were also silent.

"Master Master, I think you are familiar with the name... The second candidate is also the one we decided to be the chief leader of this operation... The legend and glory of the underground world!!"

Having said that, Varnell took a deep breath:
"Children of the Sun, Lord Gomez!"

……Um?

Chen Nuo was stunned!
What about the Queen of the Stars? ?
How did you change people?
·
However, no one would care about Chen Nuo's strange expression.

Because everyone present showed awe and fear when they heard this name!
Son of the Sun, Gomez.

This name is quite familiar in the underground world.

It is an existence that can definitely be compared to a wizard or a star queen!

Moreover, in the underground world, his name is far more legendary than a wizard or a star queen.

Because...he's a veteran controller.

Long before wizards and star queens became famous, the Son of the Sun was already the master of everyone.

Fame has been over 20 years!

·
After a short silence for a few seconds, Blake nodded and took a deep breath: "The name of the Son of the Sun, I don't think everyone will have any objection to this lord.

So, what about the third choice? "

"There is no third one." Varnell shook his head.

Black frowned: "There's no third one? Didn't you say there were eight?"

He pointed to himself: "Me, the professor, the Orderer, Harvey the Bigfoot, and the lady from RB. Plus the sea monster, and this Son of the Sun... There are only seven people in total! Yesterday, Luke the Lion and Gold Birds have both been removed!"

"No, this is the last news I announced today. According to the assessment of the medical team, although Ms. Golden Bird was injured, her injuries have been controlled, and the Lord Son of the Sun, who we contacted, also promised to use his Ability to help Lady Golden Bird heal her injuries.

So... Lady Elizabeth, the golden bird, will rejoin us.

So, now the eight candidates: Son of the Sun, Sea Monster, Professor, Orderer, Harvey, Miss Ryoko Sato, and you, Mr. Black!

This is the eight members of the mission!

Ah, and we must not forget, the mercenary team of our excellent Steel Fire Company, professional fighters with excellent professionalism!Under the leadership of Captain Selena, they will assist us in this mission! "

Following Varnell's introduction, Selena, who was standing beside him, nodded to everyone.

"So, is there any problem?"

Everyone was silent this time.

Even Blake just slapped the cat and didn't speak again.

"Then, everyone, please move upstairs now. See you in the conference room!"

·
Chen Nuo deliberately dawdled and walked at the end, and then walked to Varnell's side.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you invited the Queen of the Starry Sky?"

"Don't mention it." Vanel looked strange: "The young agent of Her Majesty the Queen, after receiving our call, directly offered a reward price of [-] million M yuan."

"..." Chen Nuo sighed in his heart.

Good guy, little milk candy is really cruel!

"So you refused?"

"No, we agreed." Varnell shook his head.

"That……"

"After we agreed to a price of [-] million US dollars, the other party shamelessly raised the price to [-] million..."

Well, have to say.In the last life, Little Toffee finally chose to follow Chen Yanluo - there is actually a reason.

Everyone is one kind of person! !

·
"It happened that another group of people contacted the Son of the Sun, and Lord Gomez nodded in agreement, so we gave up inviting the Queen of the Stars."

·
Walking into the conference room on the third floor, Chen Nuo and Vanel were the last to enter the room.

After entering the door, I saw three groups sitting in front of the long table in the conference room.

The professor, the Orderer, and the Grey Cat sat together.

Ryoko Sato, sitting with a woman who doesn't look young anymore - this woman is the golden bird Eliza.

The woman who killed Luke the Lion yesterday.

At the very front of the conference room, there was a person standing by the window.

He is slender, wearing a very loose coat, golden hair, typical Nordic deep eye sockets, three-dimensional facial features, and looks handsome.

Chen Nuo recognized at a glance that this was the "sea monster" Bruno, who was known as the half-step controller.

This guy nicknamed the sea monster is actually not the burly giant he imagined, but instead a handsome young man with a slender figure.

But at the moment, the sea monster's expression is not very happy.

Because originally, the mission of this trip had been negotiated with him internally, and because he was the strongest, he would be the leader of everyone!
But... the temporary addition of the Son of the Sun made the position of the sea monster suddenly awkward.

After all... no matter how powerful the half-step controller is, it can't compare to the real controller!

In Chen Yanluo's senses, seeing this Mr. Kraken with his own eyes is even more bizarre.

because……

In my last life, this sea monster died in my own hands...

·
Looking at the three distinct camps present, the sea monster is undoubtedly the loneliest one.

Chen Nuo thought for a while, but went to Sato Ryoko and sat down, and said hello to the golden bird beside him: "Ms. Eliza, hello."

"Mr. Harvey, good morning." Eliza's face was a little pale, and her spirit was not very good. Obviously, her injuries still affected her.

Moreover, there is a reason why the professor, the orderer, and the gray cat Blake chose not to sit with her.

This golden bird, yesterday's action, undoubtedly committed a taboo in the underground world!

Before going on a mission, do it to your fellow companions!
Since then, who would dare to sit with you, who would dare to approach you?

When performing a task, who dares to give you the back with confidence?
However, Ryoko Sato is a newbie, so she probably didn't have such an idea, so after entering the door, she took the initiative to sit next to Eliza, the only female power user present.

"Mr. Harvey, are you sure you are sitting here?" Eliza looked at Chen Nuo coldly.

"Of course, but I need you to answer a question for me first." Chen Nuo said sternly: "My question is...Ms. Eliza, you are also a senior capable person in the underground world! What kind of festival is it? Can you take the risk of breaking the rules and forcibly attack your companions after accepting the entrustment?"

After a pause, Chen Nuo said slowly: "Of course, you can also choose not to answer... But, if this is the case, then I will not be able to give you the trust of my companions in the mission of this trip!"

Eliza was silent for a few seconds. She stared at Chen Nuo's eyes. On that face that was not young, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes finally squeezed up little by little, revealing a tragic smile.

"I can answer this question because...

Last year, during a mission in North Africa, Luke the Lion killed a Capable of his rival camp.

The ability user who was killed by him was a 23-year-old boy.He is young and has great potential!

Luke brutally killed him and shredded his body! "

Chen Nuo nodded and continued to look at Eliza.

Eliza took a deep breath and said slowly, "That child...he is my son.

only son! "

[No, why do you think I can be shrewd?

In your hearts, I am such an evil person~
