Evernight God Walk

It's not too late?

Nan Ning looked at the other party suspiciously, and she raised her palm to look at the watch again. The gears in the delicate mechanical watch were turning, and the pointer had already pointed to the direction of 11:[-] noon.

It's almost noon... Nan Ning's eyes became serious, and she asked the middle-aged man, "Do you usually come at this time? What time do you get off work at night?"

"You can decide what time you want...it depends on the situation. Sometimes it's late. Normally, 5 o'clock is the latest to get off work." The middle-aged man immediately said with a smile.

Nan Ning couldn't help frowning, and said: "That said, you don't spend more than 8 hours a day on work. I remember that the working hours stipulated by the city-state guard are from 8 am to 6 pm. You are too slack like this! "

"Uh, yes..." The middle-aged man was about to nod, but suddenly he realized that his expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "You're a newcomer, are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

"……Well."

Nan Ning also suddenly came to her senses, and immediately said bitterly: "Ah, no, I just mentioned it casually. Is this the rule here?"

"Hmph, of course you newcomers have to go to work on time, but we are busy with things. Some cases may not be solved every day in the office, but we need to visit them. Forget it, it's useless to tell you about it. From today ...You still have to report at 8 o'clock in the morning, you know?"

The middle-aged man said with a straight face, with a very dignified look.

"Yeah." Nan Ning nodded repeatedly, her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

The old man in the tuxedo behind her nodded with a smile while stroking his beard. He obviously felt that the middle-aged man was doing well, but he was a little annoyed when he saw that the other party was looking at the young lady with a straight face, and gave him a slight look.

This wave of tugging... Xu Shen looked left and right, a little silent.

"Well, my lord, I'm taking office today. Do you have any work arrangements now?" Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to leave, Nan Ning asked hastily. She always felt that something was wrong with the process.

The middle-aged man came to his senses and almost missed this. He turned his head and glanced at the girl, and then at Xu Shen next to him. He had never met Xu Shen before, but the bodyguard who followed the young lady... should be in charge of supervising yes.

He nodded friendly to Xu Shen, and immediately said to the girl with a straight face: "You just started working today, do you want to work?"

"Of course, isn't it just for work?" Nan Ning looked at him strangely.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shen, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious. You see, I didn't force this on her, she asked for it, no wonder me.

You gave the wrong wink... Xu Shen kept smiling, seeing the helpless expression of the old man in the tuxedo next to him, obviously he couldn't do anything about his enthusiastic young lady.

Everyone else wanted to go to work and be lazy, but she wanted to take the initiative to find something to do.

"You have little experience. You should start as a clerical officer in the office and be responsible for recording cases." The middle-aged man said indifferently, assuming a leadership posture.

Recording cases...it's a very easy job without running errands.

"Ah no no." Nan Ning quickly shook her head with an eager expression on her face: "Sir, although it's my first job, my grades are very good and I'm definitely qualified for many jobs. I hope to go to the front line and investigate the most heinous cases. Toughest question, and going outside and looking around..."

Are you speaking human language?The middle-aged man looked at her speechlessly. No matter how he looked at this pure little face, it didn't seem like he was saying such perverted words.

I dare not even touch the most heinous case... The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"No, I just hope that the leader can reuse me." Nan Ning said hastily.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shen, seeing that Xu Shen didn't respond, he immediately thought about it, this lady is here for fun and adventure, if she really makes her a clerical job, she will definitely make trouble for herself later, so she might as well let her go wild After a while, when she ran to those dirty and messy places in the suburbs and was out of breath, she knew that she had retreated despite the difficulties.

In this case, she can pack up and get out as soon as possible, and go back to her inner city.

"Okay, then let you go to the front line and be an investigator?" The middle-aged man said this while looking at Xu Shen.

Xu Shen was expressionless and didn't respond.

That means agreeing... The middle-aged man secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The old man in the tuxedo behind the girl had an angry face, gritted his teeth, and glared at the middle-aged man viciously. The untouchables in this city are so unreasonable. They dare to let the lady do the most dirty and tiring work, and bully the lady. Is there no one around? ?
"Great!" Seeing that the other party agreed, Nan Ning couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, who said that the people in Dicheng are arrogant and unreasonable, and they seem to be easy to get along with!
"You, tell her what the investigator is going to do. Go to work on time tomorrow, don't... be late!" The middle-aged man explained to the assistant-like woman beside him, then turned and left.

Xu Shen saw that the old man in the tuxedo followed him, but turned back halfway, obviously still worried about his young lady.

Looking at the other side, Maeve was sitting on a chair, resting her chin on her little hand, with a funny expression on her face.

Seemingly aware of Xu Shen's peripheral vision, her expression suddenly changed and her mouth puffed out.

Xu Shen's eyes quickly moved away.

"I can go to work now..." Nan stared at the direction where the middle-aged man was leaving, and tried to work hard, but was blocked by the assistant woman.

The woman's expression was cold, and she said: "You are the first to report, do what the judge tells you to do, don't be too fussy, remember to report at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, go back today."

Nan Ning was a little helpless, and let out a cry.

"Do you have a place to live?" the woman asked.

Nan Ning glanced at Xu Shen, thought for a while and said, "Yes."

"Okay." The woman said: "Come with me, get your lawyer's uniform and medal, remember to wear it when you go to work on weekdays."

"it is good."

Nan Ning immediately followed the other party, and Xu Shen followed Nan Ning, going through the appointment process all the way.

Walking through the city-state guardhouse, Xu Shen had seen what the law of the city-state was like with the strictest laws, and he knew a little about the ranks in the guardhouse.

Such as Nan Ning, belonged to junior lawyers.

Going up, the accumulated cases and experience are deeper, and they are promoted to intermediate and advanced.

Then there is the trial lawyer, who can finalize and judge some major cases.

Above the trial lawyer is the presiding judge, who is also the highest ranking person in the guardian.

In addition to them, there are also guards at their disposal, and these guards are ruins destroyers.

It is not unreasonable for armed forces to be dispatched by ordinary people. In fact, this is the case in many places. Guards do not dare to bully lawyers at will, otherwise they will be suppressed and sentenced by higher-level force.

The laws may not penetrate so thoroughly elsewhere, but among the classes inside the city-state guardhouse, the laws are absolutely strict and the levels are orderly.

After completing the formalities, Xu Shen and Nan Ning walked out of the City-State Guardhouse.

"Do you know where to live nearby?" Nan Ning asked Xu Shen.

"Why don't you let them arrange it for you?" Xu Shen asked.

"I always feel that they are a little weird. I don't know if my identity has been exposed." Nan Ning said in a low voice.

Quite sharp... But there is no need to doubt it, it must have been arranged in advance by the butler behind you.

The old man in the tuxedo behind the girl became nervous when he heard the girl's words, and stared at Xu Shen, afraid that Xu Shen would help her analyze something.

"You're too sensitive." Xu Shen smiled: "Shall I rent you a hotel?"

The old man in the tuxedo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile. This foolish boy is still numb, and he really can't compare with my young lady.

"Okay." Nan Ning agreed, and immediately rummaged through her backpack: "I'll give you money, but there are some things I don't quite understand, so I'll trouble you if I want to cost you money."

Xu Shen just wanted to refuse, but when he saw the gold paper she took out, he still felt that he should learn to talk less.

"Silence is gold"

"Are these enough? I don't know if there is a bank chamber here, and I don't know if I can withdraw money, so I brought some cash." Nan Ning took out 20 pieces of gold paper and handed them to Xu Shen: "How long will these last?"

Xu Shen gladly took it, counted it, and confirmed the amount: "It depends on how you use it. If you don't buy some more luxurious things and use it normally, the consumption here is enough for you to use it for a long time."

"That's good, tell me when it's not enough." Nan Ning said with a sigh of relief.

"Good to say."

Xu Shen accepted the gold paper with a smile.

The old man in the tuxedo next to him put his head in front of Xu Shen's face, staring at him with an angry look on his face. This damn brat dares to take the lady's money? !
It was agreed that the bodyguards were sent, and they had already given benefits, but they dared to ask for money? !

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could stick his face to Xu Shen's. If it wasn't convenient for him to show up, he would have wanted to do it directly.

This old guy, is his mood fluctuating so much... Xu Shen suddenly sneezed. Although he couldn't touch it, the old man subconsciously leaned back and gave Xu Shen an angry look.

Xu Shen rubbed his nose and said, "The dust is a bit heavy, it seems that something dirty has just approached my nose."

"The air here is really not very good." Nan Ning nodded.

Just when Xu Shen thought she would miss the cleanliness of the inner city, he saw some sadness on her cheek and said, "It's really hard work for you, I hope that one day, the sun will shine here too."

Xu Shen was slightly taken aback.

Although the light was weak, when it shone on the girl's cheek at this moment, Xu Shen felt strangely bright.

The old man in the tuxedo let out a deep sigh when he heard the girl's words.

……

……

Xu Shen found a hotel for Nan Ning near the city-state guardhouse.

The hotels nearby are relatively high-end, and the prices are naturally high, but after all, Xu Shen has received so many gold papers. One gold paper is equal to 20 rupee coins, which is [-] yuan, and the monthly subscription of the hotel is only [-] yuan.

Living for one month is worth the savings of the foggy people for five years without food or drink... Xu Shen feels a little bit emotional, living in the same city seems to be separated by two worlds.

Such a hotel is a forbidden area in their hearts, a place that cannot be touched or approached.

"Mr. Xu, aren't you staying in the hotel?" Seeing that Xu Shen was about to leave, Nan Ning felt a little nervous. Although she wanted to do things independently, she didn't know everything. It's a completely strange place.

The old man in the tuxedo stood aside, staring at Xu Shen with unfriendly eyes, this kid can't just take the money and run away, is that what bodyguards do?

Can you learn from me, the lady is sleeping, and I am guarding the door.

"Uh..." Xu Shen thought for a while, Mu Wang did confess that he would protect the lady personally, he said: "This hotel is too expensive, I live in a small hotel outside, if you have anything to do, please contact me, I will definitely contact you at 1 Be there in minutes."

"Is it very expensive?" Nan Ning took a look and hesitated, "How about I go to a small hotel with Mr. Xu?"

The eyes of the old man in the tuxedo were wide open, staring at Xu Shen closely, as if as long as Xu Shen said yes, he would wring his head off.

"Uh..." Xu Shen hesitated for a while, but he was still not too frenzied. The money was already earned, so there was no need to be too vicious. He said, "It's not too expensive. Miss, you can live well. I'll stay in the hotel." Outside, if you are worried, I will sleep in the car downstairs and I can come up at any time."

Nan Ning shook her head quickly when she heard the words: "If Mr. Xu thinks the money is not enough, I can give it to you again. You can live next to me. If there is anything I can find you in time."

Seeing what she said, Xu Shen thought about it, but had no choice but to agree.

Immediately, Xu Shen spent another [-] yuan to open a room next to him, but he didn't feel ashamed to ask the other party to pay for it.

The old man in the tuxedo snorted coldly. Seeing that Xu Shen was quite sensible, he didn't say anything. After Nan Ning entered the room, he clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen, maintaining a silent posture with his hands down, like a statue guarding the door.

Really loyal... Xu Shen glanced at it. I don't know if this old man is in the second form or the third form. He was able to accompany him from the inner city. Looking at his emotional ups and downs, it is obvious that apart from the respect of the servants, there is also some respect for Nan Ning. His own emotions, this should be the reason why the people behind Nan Ning assured him to take care of him.

Xu Shen shook his head, didn't look much, turned and entered his room.

The old man in the tuxedo saw Xu Shen enter the room, and immediately followed him in. He wanted to see what the kid was doing.

Xu Shen: "..."

Just about to take off his clothes, Xu Shen was speechless when he saw the old man in the tuxedo walking through the door. The corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then he took off his clothes on his own, revealing the combat uniform inside.

He squatted in the room and continued his normal sword-drawing training, but the speed of the sword slowed down, showing only a critical sword speed.

This explosive power is between the initial state and the second state.

The old man took a look, a little surprised, this kid is so hardworking?

He has seen many Ruins Slayers, except for Ruins Slayer, they basically indulge themselves, even if some people can train, it is only occasionally.

But this kid is actually able to find time to exercise while working as a bodyguard, which is considered extraordinary perseverance.

"It seems that the branch here is doing business properly, and I know to send a dimorphic person over." The old man glanced twice and nodded slightly. The explosive power of Xu Shen's sword swing was close to that of a dimorphic, but Xu Shen's muscles and The look on his face obviously didn't use all his strength, which showed that Xu Shen's real explosive power was definitely in the second state.

Although it seems that he has just stepped into the second state not long ago, and his explosive power is not strong in the second state, but it is not bad in the bottom city.

The old man in the tuxedo took another look. Seeing Xu Shen repeatedly drawing his sword for exercise, he let out a little surprise. What is this kid practicing?Draw your sword?

The old man was a little surprised. The posture of drawing the sword was indeed very fast and smooth, but would it improve the combat power after practicing this way? Is it for sneak attack?But the enemy won't wait until you get close to shoot.

Soon, the old man thought of something, and his eyes showed a sudden look. It should be that the bottom city is too barren, and there is no secret skill in fighting ruins.

This kind of secret technique is only collected by the high clan and the big forces in the inner city. The bottom city is the bottom city after all... The old man shook his head, showing pity in his eyes.

He looked at it for a while and felt a little monotonous, so he shook his head and turned to leave.

What is the old man shaking his head about?Seeing the opponent leave, Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little puzzled. Could it be that his posture in practicing sword practice was wrong?
But he has drawn his sword countless times, and he is definitely an expert in this aspect. There is absolutely no problem with his posture and force point.

Soon, Xu Shen left the old man behind and concentrated on practicing sword.

As he no longer restrained himself, the speed at which Xu Shen drew his sword suddenly doubled, and the sword edge made a sonic boom. The pure wind force cut it apart.

……

……

The next day.

Xu Shen got up and ate the pre-ordered breakfast delivered to the room by the hotel, then washed up and went out, came to the next door and knocked on the door, Nan Ning's voice came from inside, after a while, Nan Ning opened the door, poking out half of her head.

"Wait for me for a while, I'll be fine soon." Nan Ning blushed slightly, at the moment her mouth was still covered with toothpaste foam.

Xu Shen smiled slightly and said, "Miss, don't worry, it's still early."

"It's getting late, you must not be late today." Nan Ning quickly shrank back after speaking, and 5 minutes later, she rushed out fully dressed.

"Miss didn't sleep well last night?" Xu Shen saw that her mental state was obviously not as good as yesterday.

"Slept well..." Nan Ning blushed a little. First, she was not used to the smell in the hotel. It was obviously not clean, and there was a bad smell of cleaning. She could only make do with it. The second was the smell of the hotel. The softness of the bed made her uncomfortable, and it was quite different from the usual sleep, which affected the quality of sleep and kept dreaming.

Most importantly, she was so excited at the thought of being able to start work today that she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Seeing that she didn't bother to eat breakfast, Xu Shen went down to the downstairs hall of the hotel, ordered another breakfast at the front desk, brought it to the car, and said, "There's 20 minutes before work, Miss, take your time."

"Hmm..." Nan Ning's stomach croaked, but she couldn't hold back, and started to eat quickly. The movements were ladylike at first, but soon became barbaric.

Xu Shen smiled and said nothing.

The old man in the tuxedo saw that Xu Shen was still considerate and nodded in satisfaction, and seeing the young lady eating such a poor breakfast, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly, feeling sorry for the young lady's suffering.

After breakfast, Xu Shen brought Nan Ning to work.

"Is there any case?" Nan Ning came to the work office excitedly, and walked to her new office. There were many colleagues here, but only she was accompanied by Xu Shen, the bodyguard, and an invisible old man.

"New here?" Someone saw Nan Ning and immediately said: "Fang Judgment has explained, you can handle this case and investigate the situation."

A young man who was also in the uniform of a lawyer handed Nan Ning a document, and looked at her twice, attracted by the other party's astonishing appearance.

The old man in the tuxedo stared at him, and immediately covered the young man with his hands.

But obviously his palm can't cover anything.

Xu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

The old man in the tuxedo glared at Xu Shen, you little brat, you are still laughing, the young lady has been stared at by people, why don't you hurry up and teach this damned guy a lesson!
Xu Shen was a little wronged by the stare, but the expression on the surface did not show it.

"Really?" Nan Ning immediately opened the case, her eyes were shining slightly, and after a quick tour, she immediately said, "Okay, then I'll go now."

"Remember to bring the guards." The young man quickly reminded.

"it is good."

Nan Ning agreed, then went to another place and applied for a team of guards.

After the transfer order was passed, when Nan Ning and Xu Shen came to the door, they saw a group of elite guards waiting here in advance. Xu Shen saw that there were captain-level guards among them, a total of five people, all aged 25 Over the age of [-], judging from the eyes, it is obvious that he has quite a lot of experience in handling cases, full of sharpness.

It seems that the security is full... Xu Shen secretly sighed.

"Counsellor Bai, please."

The middle-aged captain of the guards stepped forward.

Nan Ning shook her head and said, "No, I'll take my bodyguard's car."

The guarding guard glanced at Xu Shen, then looked at the black armed vehicle next to him, and recognized it as a vehicle from the Secret Bureau of the Ruins at a glance. Not the criminals in some ordinary cases, but the forces of the Ruins Secret Bureau and those who have ruins.

These guys are the cancers of Dicheng... The middle-aged man felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Nan Ning, "Officer Bai, we have a special vehicle for handling cases, so that people will know that our guard is handling the case, and idlers should stay away. "

Nan Ning came to her senses and said, "Then listen to you."

Xu Shen nodded slightly: "It's okay, my car will stop here first."

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shen with a cold look in his eyes, and then a group of people got into two cars.

Xu Shen and Nan Ning were sitting in the back of the vehicle.

Seeing Nan Ning looking through the case, Xu Shen turned his head slightly, and heard the voice of the old man in the tuxedo gnashing his teeth: "Brat, don't get so close!"

Xu Shen turned a deaf ear to it, and stretched out his head to take another look. It was a murder case in the suburbs.

There are also some black and white photos taken at the scene, which look quite miserable.

Under the case, there is a description of Xu's behavior.

If the investigation is more likely to be man-made, it is the case that the Inspection Office is responsible for handling.

As for the involvement with the Xu, it is handed over to the Secret Bureau of the Xu and the City-State Guardian. One is responsible for locating the location of the Xu and going to kill the Xu.

"It's a bit bloody." Xu Shen glanced at the girl beside him and said in a low voice.

In his opinion, such a clean girl should vomit and faint when she sees such a horrible scene.

But Xu Shen unexpectedly discovered that Nan Ning was just staring at the photo with a solemn expression. There was no discomfort on her face, but she was tapping her fingers, as if thinking about something.

Soon.

The vehicle arrives at the scene.

Nan Ning saw the gradually dilapidated streets and low-rise buildings on both sides of the road, and frowned, "Is this the outskirts of Dicheng?"

"Ah."

Pushing open the door, the air filled with a faint rotten smell wafted in, mixed with some kind of stale waste water rotten smell.

Xu Shen has long been used to it, but feels kind.

Nan Ning frowned slightly and covered her mouth.

But not long after, she slowly let go, took a deep breath, and said, "Where does this smell come from, the crime scene or the surroundings?"

"The drainage channel over there." Xu Shen pointed.

Nan Ning took a look and found that there was a lot of garbage piled up inside, and the sewage was blocked and turned black.

Her eyes changed and she didn't say anything, but Xu Shen saw that her eyes didn't flinch, but seemed a little more determined.

There are two patrol vehicles parked ahead.

As they approached, a guard from the inspection hall stepped forward and saw the girl in the uniform of a lawyer. He was slightly taken aback. He was obviously shocked by the other party's dusty white and delicate face, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. , said: "Master Lawyer, the scene of chaos in the market is ahead, you...do you want to go there?"

"Of course." Nan Ning nodded and walked straight.

They saw damage to one part of the house at the scene, with several corpses and blood stains inside.

Xu Shen took a look, and then looked around, but he didn't see any trace of Xu.

But judging from the destruction of the wall, it was indeed Xu's doing.

Could it be delivery?
