Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

"Who is that ordinary-looking kid? Didn't it mean that Morgana has a hormone problem and doesn't have that kind of thinking, just want to go to PCPD to vent his violent tendencies? That kid can't be Morgana's punching bag, right?"

"It's unlikely. Morgana used to come here alone, but now she suddenly brings someone here without her family's consent. If it's just a sandbag, she definitely doesn't have the qualifications, so...what's the origin of that kid?"

"If you look carefully, you will find that Morgana is quite close to him. Huh? Her parents are here too? Don't you see? It's over there, let me show you!"

"I'll go over and ask what's going on in a while! Hehe, this is so much fun!"

Relying on the enhanced hearing implant, Zhuang Xuteng heard all these discussions, and then pretended not to hear them.He knew that today's protagonist is not him, he only needs to accompany Morgana well, and pretend to be a sculpture at other times.As for those guesses about "who is he", whatever they guess, it has nothing to do with him if they guess right or wrong.If you have that kind of nosy mind, you might as well take a look at today's auction items, and then secretly practice the newly learned "bone hunting technique".

"Bone Finding" is a "newly invented" spell by the Lich Master, which can be driven by the energy of wraiths and shadows.Zhuang Xuteng believes that such a spell can't be done with a slap on the head, and the Lich master has been "planning" for how long.Perhaps from the time when it was unable to see the world through Zhuang Xuteng's eyes, various spells were being prepared.

Therefore, bone finding may not be a simple search for similar spells, it is likely to be the beginning of a series of spells.Zhuang Xuteng had read the history books that recorded how the Church of the Holy Light fought against evil and created brilliance. In the description of the evil enemies, there were souls occupying the living and causing chaos.Since such things have happened in history, Zhuang Xuteng must be vigilant.For the "Bone Finding Technique", he raised the requirements. He must fully understand all aspects of this spell before he can actually cast it.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to disassemble other people's spells. This is the same as dismantling after getting the real thing. Not only must you understand its manufacturing principle, figure out its design ideas, and even what to avoid in the construction process , Use what all figured out.

The Lich Master's attainment in spells is the fundamental reason for it to become a "master". To dismantle its self-created spells and put them in the original world, basically only a few other spell masters can hope to do so.However, "bone hunting" is a spell driven by both wraiths and shadows, especially the shadows. The knowledge about shadows is collected and learned by Zhuang Xuteng and forwarded to Master Lich. There is no difference between the two. Absolute information gap, at most some gaps in thinking about how shadow energy is applied.

Starting from this aspect, there is no insurmountable gap between Zhuang Xuteng and the Lich Master. As long as he works hard to think, understand, and experiment, he will hope to use the shadow magic as a starting point to complete the dismantling of the bone search.

"The wraith spell can also play a supporting role. How it cooperates with the shadow energy is also an interesting question..."

Zhuang Xuteng kept smiling calmly, and his eyes moved back and forth between the auction host, the auction item and Morgana. In fact, his mind was always thinking about technical issues.In the eyes of others, this is a very calm performance, as if he is very familiar with the current environment, and he is definitely not a novice who has just stepped into the circle.But everyone asked each other, and none of them had seen him, and Morgana's parents were also silent, so they guessed that he might be a guy from another city.

Zhuang Xuteng spent the entire auction thinking about spells, and Morgana also used similar methods to pass the time.The main reason is the type of auction items. They are all antiques, works of art, souvenirs of celebrities or famous events, which really can't arouse the interest of the two of them.If it's a shadow follower, implant, protective armor, or a new car, the two of them will definitely watch closely, and maybe even buy one or two.

As soon as the auction was over, the two of them left quickly and took a seat in the corner of the lounge.Zhuang Xuteng's hands were quicker, and when he passed by the dessert area, he picked up a plate of snacks, which was enough for two people to pass the time.In fact, this period of time is easier than before, because they can talk to each other, and they don't feel bored.

An unexpected guest came to the venue, and it turned out to be Director Pace who came out of the intensive care unit for the second time.He was much thinner than before, and his whole body was like a half-deflated ball. His body was bent, and he had to use a cane to support his body to stand still, and he needed the support of the guards to walk steadily.He didn't receive a warm welcome when he arrived; the people he met obviously had a somewhat perfunctory attitude.

Seeing this, Morgana leaned closer to Zhuang Xuteng and said, "After Chief Pace was injured for the second time, there were rumors that he was going to replace the chief of PCPD. Many people wanted to use their own people in PCPD. The chief was not in good health, but he had to hold on." I came here just to prove that I can continue to work and I don’t want PCPD to change.”

Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly, and asked: "PCPD is a mess now. No matter who takes over, it is due to the gang's assassination pressure on the one hand, and the hard-to-maintain law and order in Peicheng on the other. It is considered a success to restore the previous state, but after withstood the gang's After the rampage, everyone will definitely have higher requirements for PCPD, and the job of the director will be more difficult. In fact, he is not injured yet, so I admire him a little bit."

"Well, you don't have to admire him. The constitutional government wants to 'upgrade' the PCPD, so..."

"Ascension? Not reconstruction?" Zhuang Xuteng snorted, and asked Morgana to continue.

Morgana also knows that the constitutional government has always been a master at playing word games, so she continued: "The PCPD will receive a huge amount of special funding, plus the previous pension, donations and support from all parties in the society-this is There are huge interests involved, and a rough estimate may be hundreds of millions."

Understood.Although the position of director is dangerous and difficult to do, the danger may occur later, but the real benefits are right in front of us.It is estimated that even if Director Pace wants to retire, he will persist until these interests are "arranged".And he insists on holding on to his current position, which is an eyesore to those who want to get a share of the pie.

"Well, this bureau chief is now facing double pressure from inside and outside, but the pressure should only be the chaos caused by gangs, not these crap about fighting for money and power." Zhuang Xuteng sighed and asked: "How is the security in Taiping District recently? ? Has your family been affected?"

Morgana shook her head and said: "It's okay, our house and the neighbor's house are fine, but we have stepped up our vigilance and checked and upgraded all the security systems. By the way, why don't you try our house's security? Have a look." Can you..."

Zhuang Xuteng quickly interrupted her and said: "Haha, my company's schedule is already full, and many of them have the same needs as you. But to be honest, there is no difference between testing or not. We can't predict what our opponents will do. ability, and I don’t know what strategies they will use. And even if it is tested, I can’t upgrade you—the business is not one-line.”

After hearing Zhuang Xuteng's strange words, Morgana took two seconds to react.She squinted her eyes to look around, then nodded to show that she was too relaxed and reckless.Hearing-enhancing implants are neither rare nor expensive, and can be worn by bodyguards, spies, or even anyone with a modicum of voyeurism.

"There's another risk..." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile, "If they know that I'm researching how to sneak into your house, they probably won't let me go again."

"Indeed..." Morgana stretched her hand across the table, patted Zhuang Xuteng's arm, and said with a smile on her face, "If it was in the past, would there be any consequences for sneaking into the archbishop's residence and being discovered?"

"I know this: there will be no consequences. It is written that the merciful bishop will let the man go after criticizing the education."

"Believe it. Anyway, no one can say that he was released like that, not one."

"Oh... That's how history was written."

The two of them cooperated with each other and changed the topic, so that the eavesdroppers could not get important information.Morgana has also increased her vigilance. Like Zhuang Xuteng, she will be vigilant to those young people who are walking towards them.At such gatherings, there are often some fools who only show themselves in the wrong way, and those who are vigilant enough will avoid such people before they show up.

As long as there is a tendency to find fault, the two will get up and leave their seats and go to the center of the venue.They either showed up next to Commissioner Pace, or went to close friends of Morgana's family, and even went straight to her parents on one occasion.

Now that Morgana is no longer hiding, Zhuang Xuteng can only work hard to overcome his nervousness and behave better in front of her parents.Because there are too many people here, they can't talk about any in-depth topics, so they just nodded, exchanged greetings, chatted about the weather and the quality of the banquet food, and nothing else.

Although the form is simple, it can be regarded as meeting Morgana's parents.According to Zhuang Xuteng's thinking, since he was not beaten out, and he didn't hear a word of "no", then there is probably no problem with this matter, right?
Bringing Zhuang Xuteng to her parents, Morgana also had the idea of ​​"cutting the mess quickly".As she grows older, her marriage will drag on and become more troublesome.In the past, work could be used as an excuse to delay, but the real way to solve the problem is to find a goal.Morgana felt that meeting Zhuang Xuteng was very lucky, and for Zhuang Xuteng, meeting her must also be a lucky thing.Since both of them are lucky, they should seize the opportunities that fate creates for them.

After the dinner and dance, neither of them were interested.To be precise, two people are only interested in each other.They kept hiding from XZ, no matter they came to find trouble, or they really wanted to talk about something, they all avoided it.The two of them are like the alternatives in the whole social activities, trying to exclude themselves from the group, and at the same time, they are complacent about such "success".

Contrary to them, Director Pace is very busy, and has been constantly wandering among various groups, trying to gain support for himself as much as possible.He doesn't seem to know fatigue, and his injured body doesn't seem to be a drag.Since he appeared, he has not been idle. He walked over one by one and talked from table to table. His patience and ability are astounding.

Fortunately, he didn't come to Morgana and Zhuang Xuteng.

Finally persisting until eleven o'clock in the evening, the two of them retreated immediately without procrastinating.Before that, Morgana's parents had already left with an excuse, leaving her as a show, so there was no need to say goodbye.In fact, apart from Morgana, there are many other families in the church line, all here to support the scene.After the gods left, the church had no real power, let alone the powerful power it had before. Only the historical and cultural heritage and the ability to "give face" remained.

Face has become the only resource they have left, and they have to give it, and they can't give it more, so Morgana always leaves early.The two returned to the interior of the armored ferret, and the doors and windows were closed to isolate the hustle and bustle outside, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable.They embraced and kissed while the steam engine was boosting pressure, and when the pressure was enough, they took the time to leave the scene.

"Why is it like being a thief..." Morgana looked at the receding scenery outside the window, thinking of the scene of slipping out of the vault with fifteen packages yesterday or the day before yesterday, she had a feeling of deja vu. "Oh, why are we in such a hurry? Are we not thieves?"

"I am! I stole you away." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "You are the most valuable thing in the whole party. I have taken you away, and I will take you home overnight."

"Wait? What are you going to do? Let me know which house to get first..." Morgana quickly looked out of the window and said, "This is the direction of the highway out of the city! It's not our house... you take me to see Dad mom?"

"Hey, you're right, 'Mom and Dad'!" Zhuang Xuteng said: "It's okay, there is a place to sleep over there, and my sister and I have always reserved the bed. You are pretty enough now, it's best to stay in this state. "

"Don't be kidding, I'm going, can't I go empty-handed? Besides, it's midnight, don't you want to disturb their sleep?" Morgana grabbed Zhuang Xuteng's arm with both hands and said, "Don't, don't, don't Appropriate! I'm wearing a party dress, it's not suitable for this scene. I have to wear everyday clothes, or work clothes, it shouldn't be this."

"Normal clothes...there is one in the trunk, which can be used to change clothes. Work clothes are fine—if you go there in PCPD uniform, they will think I've been arrested." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't be nervous, listen to me , I will take good care of you. Let's just go straight, the less formal, the less impact it will have on them. They have never believed that I can find a girlfriend like you, and they will definitely treat you as if I hired you after meeting Just kidding them. I just go back at this hour, let them misunderstand and make embarrassment, so that I can turn the situation around and hold you well... why are you staring at me?"

"Did you use the mercenary tactics to deal with your parents?"

"It doesn't count? I was just joking with them. They saw that I still have such a sense of humor, and there are good girls like you around me. Their lives are gradually becoming stable and they can worry less."

Morgana thought about it carefully, and said, "I can understand...it's just that the time is too bad. Shall we sleep in the car and go there at dawn?"

"No. My dad is going to the field before four o'clock, and we won't disturb him too much when we go back."
