Chapter 850 Pygmalion
Chen Wei is not a particularly difficult partner.Before Luo Binhan led her to the stairs, she had already lowered her head and quickly blended into the crowd.Luo Binhan was surprised by her keen awareness, because she was too reasonable, like someone who had rich and complicated life experience.Real aliens shouldn't know how to do this, like Joan or Momoro.

When they got off the elevator, Chen Wei asked him, "Did someone follow you just now?"

"No, it's not stalking. It's not that exaggerated. It's just that someone was watching you just now...or it might just be a coincidence."

Luo Binhan looked back, but he didn't see the young nanny again.Until now, he still doesn't feel that he knows the other person, and he is definitely not the kind of person who can be called by name in the vast crowd.Maybe he was just too guilty and took the other party's unconscious look as suspicion.The girl might have seen other acquaintances by chance, and had nothing to do with Chen Wei.

He still waited for a while to make sure that the girl hadn't caught up, and then he said conclusively: "It's probably because I made a mistake."

Chen Wei didn't seem to care about it either.She asked, "What can you do with me?"

"I heard Falk said that you have an apprentice... Besides, she is my sister's neighbor now."

There was no surprise or doubt on Chen Wei's face.She admitted frankly: "You mean Anti? She is indeed my disciple."

"Her name is Anti." Luo Binhan repeated.

"Well, it's her original name—even so, it's just a transliteration. You can't find the corresponding word for her original name."

"Okay. But how did she live near my sister? Falk sent her there?"

"No, I think it might be... Jing Juan. Before I left, I asked Anti to follow his arrangement."

Robin Han stared at her.When Chen Wei twitched the corners of his eyes unnaturally and turned his face to the chandelier on the roof, he felt the shock brought by the image contrast.

"Really?" he asked calmly.

"Really." Chen Wei replied hastily.

Now Luo Binhan was speechless.For a moment, he didn't think about who arranged Ang Ti next to Yu Xiaorong, but silently marveled at another thing: Who would have thought of it?Who would have thought that an outlier like Chen Wei, the ancestor of the Butterfly Spirit, and Zhou Yu, the interstellar version of Zhou Yu with magic pupils, would be so bad at lying!
"Is there something on my face?"

"No." Robin Han said.He was thinking about whether Chen Wei would become ashamed and angry like Jing Huang.She seems reasonable, but who can really guarantee it?She is Zhou Yu's ancestor - this incident shocked him at any time.

"Never mind," he said, "it doesn't matter...I came to you to talk about my sister. She's a... a little troublesome. I heard Falk say you might be able to help me."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Wei frowned, as if she knew what he wanted.Luo Binhan stopped talking cautiously, waiting to see how she would react.

"It's better not to discuss this matter outside," Chen Wei said, "Let's go to my residence first, which happens to be not far from here."

"942 Yulang Road?"

"yes.

Luo Binhan didn't know why she was so guilty.He didn't really want to go after who arranged a new neighbor for his old sister.But Chen Wei didn't seem to want them to talk about this topic very much.She said hastily: "Go to my residence and talk?"

"Yes. 0312 told you, right? I'm temporarily staying in this area."

"Actually, you can stay with me." Luo Binhan said casually, "If you think it's more convenient. Zhou Yu's house also has vacant rooms."

He didn't know why he said that.In fact, he regretted it when he uttered the last word.The existence of Chen Wei always makes him a little nervous, he feels the grotesque attraction in her, and it is definitely not due to her beauty.Yes, Zhou Yu sometimes made him feel this way, but there were still differences.He could joke around with Zhou Yu, but felt that he would never get along with Chen Wei.

Perhaps, he said to himself, all this discomfort was his own fault.It was he himself who still hadn't accepted the news of Zhou Yu's death, so seeing Chen Wei always made him uneasy.He looked at the other party secretly from the corner of his eye, and felt that she looked more like Zhou Yu when she wore her hair down.Of course Zhou Yu would tie up her hair sometimes.She at least ran laps on the playground, right?There are also sit-ups and jump rope.No one does this with a cascade of long hair.It is strange to say that his memory is not as good as that of Zhou Yu in physical education class, Zhou Yu who participated in the sports meeting, or Zhou Yu who was out of breath during the 800-meter long-distance race.If he ever saw Zhou Yu running in the sun with ponytails and sweat, he would never forget it.

However, it is easy to imagine Chen Wei doing this.Perhaps it was because he had seen Chen Wei's image before meeting her, a promotional photo of a savior.He doesn't know what she is capable of, but she is a colleague of Upsilon, and that at least proves that she is comparable to a giant with a height of [-] meters and has superpowers, or that she is an Asa who can't kill without reason Bam.A monster in the skin of a woman.witch.witch.Goddess - what difference does that make, actually?

Before the departure of the gate city, Upsilon once stood on his shoulder in the form of an illusion, and said to him in a chatty tone: "Mr. It’s hard for people to get by.”

Luo Binhan was very surprised, he asked back: "Am I not forgetful enough?"

"Oh, well, I don't know either. Anyway, it's up to you to remember which things to remember - tell you an interesting thing, Mr. Luo. When I was training as a newcomer, The instructors in the clan warned us to pay attention to our backs in the melee, even if we feel that the opponent has fallen, we should not be negligent. However, because my mirror light form has the characteristic of transferring energy direction, it has a special role in defense. advantage, so I can’t always remember this point. No matter how many times the instructor told me, even when I really suffered because of it during the internship, I never took it to heart. Until one day, the person who took care of me before The senior came to me for training suddenly, and said that he wanted to try to see if he could beat a soldier who was selected for the guard. Because he actually belongs to the category of scholars, I don’t think he has a chance of winning at all. As a result, of course, I lost Dropped. Because he prepared the anti-deflection light for my characteristics from the very beginning, and gave me a shot from behind when I thought I was winning—it’s not good for a righteous researcher to engage in a sneak attack! But no matter what Said, I still lost that time. According to the conditions agreed in advance, every time I see him from then on, I have to give him a hammer on the back first. It’s not a very serious punishment! But since then From then on, I firmly remembered the principle of being vigilant on the back. It can be said that even if I want to forget it, I can’t forget it.”

Luo Binhan responded by praising the senior Upsilon's hands-on education method, but he still didn't understand how this had anything to do with trying to make ends meet.

"Isn't it weird?" Upsilon said, "Compared to the reprimands I received from the instructors and the injuries I suffered during training, what Safaya taught me is just a small lesson. It's not worth mentioning. But, in contrast, I can't forget the loss to him."

"Because they are weak scientists." Luo Binhan said reassuringly, "A scientist does not have the power of yours, so it is natural for them to blow up one or two universes. Don't feel like hurting your self-esteem."

"That's not the reason! Oh... Although it can't be said that there are no such factors at all, the main reason is that Safaya is my acquaintance, right? Compared with the soldiers who unfortunately died because of carelessness mentioned by the instructor, losing to Saffaya The incident of Faya left a deeper impression on me. That is to say—true awareness does not come from the heavy history, but from the trivial things around us.”

Is Upsilon's claim correct?Or is that just a superficial view confined to a small place?Whenever Luo Binhan thought of this incident, the shadow of the Witch of Fate swayed in the corner full of his thoughts.Yeo is responsible for the fate of the Clan, setting the course for great things, while her shadow, her sibling sister or daughter, Bam, is in charge of all the small moments.Responsible for the small pains of mortals, responsible for those things that did not make it to the spring day in the end.All that was abandoned, abandoned, irrelevant to historical inevitability—and all of this shaped Bam, the world-destroyer.Isn't this also the disaster she realized from the insignificance?

Then, he thought of Chen Wei's eyes.He didn't really understand Chen Wei, even if he repeatedly warned himself in his heart, a voice would still say to him: a pair of eyes like that won't detect any fine dust.

"We're here." Chen Wei said.

They didn't go very far.Long before leaving his apartment, Luo Binhan had already obtained an address from Farke, and was told that Chen Wei could be found there in the middle of the night, so he originally planned to wander around for a while to get familiar with the current place. A little different Ihimi.The road name will not be changed in two and a half years, but the layout of the merchants has become very fast.When he heard the address given by Falk, he thought that Chen Wei must be living in a hotel, or a student apartment for rent.But when Chen Wei led him to the place, he found that this was not the case at all.

The store door is very narrow, sandwiched between the theme bookstore and the supermarket, there are no windows and side doors.If you stand on the opposite side of the street and look here, the signboard fixed on the thin wooden board by hollow iron art is just blocked by a low but luxuriant street tree.

Luo Binhan stood in front of the store and evaluated its poor layout for almost half a minute.He felt that the store was almost doomed to fail.It's not even as tempting as a place to rest your feet, compared to the themed bookstore next door that serves coffee and baked goods.But it was still open, because he could see customers inside.Of course, he didn't forget that this was Chen Wei's hiding place.But does that mean that the guests inside are not ordinary people?Or is this the same as Jing Huang living in his house, except that mortals are occasionally favored by Chen Wei?There is no other sign that can tell him the answer except for the layout that is headed towards bankruptcy.For a moment he hesitated, wondering if he should go in like this.

"Luo Binhan, do you think there is something wrong with the signboard of this store?" Chen Wei asked.

She obviously misunderstood the direction that Luo Binhan was really paying attention to, but looked up and down the two cursive characters engraved on the metal plate - gun flower.

"The name is good." Luo Binhan said, "The owner likes rock and roll, right?"

Chen Wei didn't seem to know what he was talking about.She said in an old man's nostalgic tone: "I always feel that this name has a sense of theater."

Luo Binhan thinks that what they are thinking is obviously not the same thing.

Chen Wei has already opened the door and invited him in.So Luo Binhan stepped over the threshold like a visitor looking for something new, while approaching the counter in the deep corner, while looking at the display on the wall and the shelf.When he saw the general layout of the store clearly, he felt a ridiculous sense of victory in his heart: he found that his understanding of the name of the store might be correct, at least closer to the owner's idea than Chen Wei's.

The space inside the store is small and unreasonable.After passing through the corridor by the front door, there is an extension of the space on both sides, which can accommodate four or five wooden round tables.The decoration is mainly made of wood, showing a dark brown tone, simple and lacking in personality.On top of this plain tone, there are bright red roses adorning the tables, corners, and gaps between wooden boards, as eye-catching as candles.On the blank walls on both sides hung strings of metal bullet casings that were undoubtedly imitations, reflecting a slightly bluish dark yellow color, which strangely reminded Luo Binhan of the decorative chili models hanging in some restaurants.

There are already guests at two tables.When Luo Binhan and Chen Wei walked in, the girl in a knitted sweater by the door looked up at them absently, and then at Chen Wei carefully.But that reaction didn't seem to have any deep meaning, it was just a chance to bump into an exceptionally beautiful person on the street.Luo Binhan has seen this kind of gaze many times on the road, and it's not just Chen Wei, he also noticed that many people passing by would turn their heads to look at Jing Huang with a bad face.But, strange to say, he has never seen anything dramatic happen because of this, as if most people can only see a body that is desirable by primate standards, but can't see the flickering and twisting firelight, or It was those terrible eyes.All one can see is beauty, but only a very limited beauty.And beauty, no matter how exalted it is on an ape-based body, is more bragging than substance.The beauty that mortals love is the vulgar pursuit of functionality and rarity.

Luo Binhan looked away from the roses on the table.The flowers were so delicate and beautiful that he suspected they were made of origami or fabric.And cloth art often reminds him of Xie Zhenwan.Of course, Xie Zhenwan doesn't do fabric art, but the clothes she chooses are always exquisite in style, and the fashion has a classical style.She actually has good taste in many aspects, and this makes Luo Binhan feel very puzzled.Superhuman acumen and horrific stupidity can be so co-existing in one person.

In the corner away from the entrance, another customer sat with his back to them.Since Luo Binhan entered the door, he has been busy in front of a notebook, crackling and compiling some kind of document, showing no interest in the new guests.Luo Binhan couldn't accurately determine his age, but he was tall, pale-skinned, slightly hunchbacked, and had messy, curly red hair.The hair doesn't seem to be dyed, maybe it's a natural red hair gene.It was possible, since he was definitely a Caucasian.

In Lihai City, there are neither too many nor too many foreign tourists. People will not bump into a blond backpacker on the street every day, but if they occasionally meet in a subway car, no one will stare at him. put.At this moment, the red-haired man obviously didn't want anyone to bother him.On the back of the deep black t-shirt he was wearing, there were even two large characters of "Quiet" printed in Song Dynasty.It's hard to say whether the person wearing the T-shirt knew exactly what it meant, but Robin Han took it as a serious warning for now.

He glanced at the man a few more times, noticed the half-eaten sandwiches and fried fish on his table, and the lines of foreign letters on the computer file, trying to figure out if this was an alien disguised as a foreigner .Before he could see any clear signs, Chen Wei had already called him to the counter.

The counter is a very simple long wooden cabinet. On the shelves behind are wine and various cups and plates, two or three decorative porcelain plates painted with occult symbols, and a set of eye-catching coffee distillation equipment.But Robin-Han didn't know much about coffee. He'd never been able to figure out things like French presses, siphons, or ice drippers.

Chen Wei walked into the counter and took two lowball glasses and a bottle of Crown rye whiskey from the shelf.Luo Binhan glanced at her from the sidelines, seeing that she was as proficient as going in and out of her own kitchen, and she had no intention of paying at all.He wasn't sure if he had witnessed a theft, but Chen Wei looked at it naturally.She seemed a little happy and said to Luo Binhan: "Let's go in and talk."

"Where are you going?"

Chen Wei was holding things in both hands.Luo Binhan intentionally went up to help her share a little, but she didn't notice at all.She put her elbow easily on one of the gun barrels - not real, of course, but a decoration protruding from the wall - it turned out to be a doorknob shaped like a muzzle, mounted on a door decorated with roses and The string of bullets is cleverly concealed on the sliding door.When the door was pushed open, Luo Binhan saw a small room about ten square meters inside.It's not a private room, it's more like a staff lounge, or simply the owner's bedroom: a folding bed is erected against the wall, with a thin folded blanket hanging on the top; Have four people sit in a circle.There are several books scattered on the cabinet in the corner, and Luo Binhan can only glance at the top one or two, and that is enough to make him feel very puzzled: "The One Hundred Most Bizarre Strange Events in the World" is still a reasonable book. It's a pastime, but Chen Wei still has nothing to look through the "Encyclopedia of English Vocabulary for Level [-]"?
"Come in." Chen Wei said.She didn't notice Luo Binhan's gaze at all, but put the wine and glasses on the table with obvious pleasure.For some reason, Luo Binhan felt that her motivation for being happy was not pure.He walked slowly into the house and closed the door behind his back.

"Actually, I'm also thinking about when I should talk to you." Chen Wei said.

"And me?"

"Yes. Because you are Zhou Yu's friend, I think she also wants you to know more about her."

Luo Binhan sincerely thinks that this conclusion is still open to debate, but he still nodded in agreement on the surface.Chen Wei pulled two folding chairs and sat on the side facing the door.When she looked at Luo Binhan, the latter walked over involuntarily and sat down on the chair opposite her.

After that, she meditated quietly for a while, and said to Luo Binhan: "I'm afraid there are many things you don't understand about Zhou Yu's situation, and I don't know where to start to explain. If you have enough time tonight , I can try my best to explain to you why she had conflicts with 0206. However, in the final analysis, those are all past events and have no effect on your future life. Since you came to me tonight, let's start with your sister Let's talk about it."
