Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

"The furniture and appliances we bought are all installed, and the refrigerator is filled with food... When will you come and stay?"

Morgana was curled up in the bed, except for her head, only a few fingers that were clenching the edge of the quilt were exposed.She smelled the charming smell that was still in the air, felt her face was a little hot, and pulled up the quilt.But she really wanted to know Zhuang Xuteng's answer, so she wouldn't hide her whole head under the quilt.

"Already done? You are quite fast!" Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "Give me the key, and I will come and live at any time. But the place over there is small and we can't raise Meat Bun, so he has to stay here. , and then I have to come over often to feed it. I heard that if you don’t accompany an animal, it will suffer from depression just like people.”

"That's true..." Morgana leaned closer to Zhuang Xuteng, adjusted her posture, and then said: "How are you going to allocate your time between going to my place and coming back to live here?"

"Well...this was my original plan: you have an average of three night shifts a week, and I will live here for these three days, and go to the house over there for the rest of the time. But now that you are completely on vacation, I can't work every day. There is no good answer to this question no matter what..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "How about I give you an idea?"

"Cunning guy, he's so keenly aware of danger!" Morgana tapped Zhuang Xuteng's nose with her finger and said, "Okay, now that I'm on vacation, everyone in my family knows that, and they use the excuse that it's dangerous outside. I'm asked to go back every week, so I have very little time to sleep in the den. You go there to stay on Wednesday, four or two days a week, and I'm not here at other times... Alas, I still think it's best not to take a vacation, PCPD When will we be able to stand up!"

"You're only home on Wednesdays and Thursdays? So what do you do on the other days?"

"I went back to the big manor, and then I worked out and studied. Now I want to do experiments and practice witchcraft, and they will all stare at me. Those who didn't stare at me before..."

"Before? Did you know me before?"

"It should be the person who introduced you to them." Morgana never hid anything, she said: "My main job now is to make them accept you, and try to improve your evaluation in their hearts. It's not bad. This is not your problem, but a problem that our family has had for a long time. Zhuang Xuteng, I still need time, but if it is useless in the end, then I have no choice but to be kidnapped by you. .”

"It's good that you have this consciousness!" Zhuang Xuteng gently touched Morgana's face and said with a smile: "Your manor is very old, right? Maybe the security measures have not been updated for many years? I will sneak in secretly , steal you out, and then hide it in a corner, I’m sure they won’t find it!”

"Haha, your idea is good, but don't do it, they will always find a way to find me." Morgana said: "There is a very powerful magic called sensing location, and there are still two places left in the world. You can cast it, one of them is in my house. No matter where you hide me, just cast this spell and they will find me."

Perceive location?The name is unremarkable, but it sounds powerful.

"You can be found hiding anywhere? Then I can find you in a basement with a mezzanine filled with oil?"

Morgana nodded and said: "Shadow magic will be blocked by oil, but divine magic will not. In fact, there are places to hide it. I will tell you secretly. Don't tell anyone: Whenever you want to abduct me, just take me to the shadow." Go to the boundary, and you can’t use the sensed position over there.”

"Oh, what you said is in vain. I don't know how to get to the shadow world at all." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head. He felt a little strange: "Can the church still use magic? After the gods leave, the magic is gone. That's why there is The shadow follows the spell!"

"The gods have left, but there are still seven holy places left. Some of the remains of the gods are buried here, so specific spells can also be used. Two are for sensing positions, one is for complete medical treatment, one is for fighting evil, and the other is for souls. Wandering. I only know these five, and I don’t know what spells the remaining two are. I only know that they have become company assets and are no longer under the control of the descendants of the church."

“Why does it become a company asset?”

"What other reasons could there be? Just poor management, facing bankruptcy, auctioning off assets, and getting out of here!" Morgana waved her hand and said, "Anyway, in a few hundred years, it is estimated that all descendant families of the church will slowly Bankruptcy, unless we can find a good project to invest in. But I have seen clearly that really good projects will not be left to us. The ten projects left to us have eight pitfalls, and the remaining two will at most make a flat profit, which is of no use. The only thing The only way out is for everyone to be able to support themselves, spend as much as they earn, and use the interest saved for emergencies, so that they can persist for a while longer."

"Wait, I'm not sure about one thing. Don't you have the ability to sense location? Can't you use it to find the Shadow Mine or the Platinum Mine? Find whatever is valuable, and you won't be short of money!"

Morgana rolled her eyes and said: "This is not the age of gods after all. It is very troublesome to use magic once, and it can only find living creatures, not minerals! Okay, don't discuss those things that have little to do with us. It’s over, you don’t have to worry about the church family. Tell me what have you been doing these two days?”

"I took a private job, helped someone pick up things, and went out to other places."

"Don't call me?"

"It feels a bit wasteful for me to go alone. If two people go, will we still make money?" Zhuang Xuteng smiled and scratched Morgana's nose and said: "This job is just running errands. You need to be careful to hide your identity. No There are other dangers, so I can complete the task faster and more stably by myself.”

"Okay, I hope you can come back safely. By the way, what were you talking about before? What are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Before you tell me 'which'?"

Morgana put her hand into Zhuang Xuteng's quilt, pinched it somewhere, and said, "Do you know 'which'? Are you interested in pretending to be here with me?"

"Easy! I didn't install the implant!" Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to joke anymore, he said: "Tomorrow... uh, I should change it to today. I want to meet with the person who took over the protein worm farm and bring him They take a look at the farm environment and discuss the handover method. My parents have actually agreed on most things, so I will take care of the transition." "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Okay, if you're interested, come with us! But I'm more afraid that you'll be bored, because the work in the protein worm farm is tedious and tiring, and it's not interesting. You follow into the farm and you have to protect yourself from radiation. The artificial Light is not good for your health, so it’s best if you can avoid it.”

Morgana thought about it carefully and felt that she really couldn't help, so she decided not to cause trouble. "Then I'd better go home and have a look, and continue to instill your great ideas into them. As long as you work hard, they will eventually bear fruit one day!"

Anyone who has worked on a farm knows that there is no inevitable connection between hard work in irrigation and flowering and fruiting.If the seeds are wrong, or the method is wrong, waterlogging or drowning is the more likely outcome.Zhuang Xuteng secretly looked at Morgana and could read the tension and uneasiness in her expression.She was uneasy about the future. She was uneasy about spending her life with Zhuang Xuteng. Obviously, the biggest obstacle came from her family.

There was a time when TV shows with status differences were popular in love relationships. Zhuang Xuteng’s parents watched them for a while before they got to know each other.Later, I don’t know why. The play was not popular and was not remade. It disappeared quietly, but the status difference in reality remained and never changed.

Zhuang Xuteng heard his parents talk about the TV show from that period, and they complained about the plot together. This is also the reason why they met and knew each other.Later, Zhuang Xuteng understood a truth. The better the rendering on TV, the worse it would be in reality. This is just like the truth that bad things always invest the maximum cost in advertising.He hoped that he would not encounter weird things like those in the TV series "Poor Status". Even if he tried hard, he seemed unable to change his deep-rooted idea of ​​"Poor Status".Of course, there are always alternatives, such as stealing Morgana away.As long as you practice stealth and martial arts well, this matter can always be solved.

Unlike Zhuang Xuteng, Morgana was more anxious, and she couldn't comfort herself with the thought that "it would eventually be stolen by Zhuang Xuteng."The current situation is obvious: Zhuang Xuteng is willing and able to take him to deal with his family's affairs, but he is unable to do the same to him.Not to mention going to parties together again, she couldn't even bring Zhuang Xuteng into the manor.

She is doing her parents' job to reverse their bad impression of Zhuang Xuteng.But Morgana was also a little strange. I remember that on the night of the party, they had a good feeling towards Zhuang Xuteng. They were not as repulsive as they are now?She is investigating what happened, and maybe she can start from this aspect, so that she can prescribe the right medicine.

Although they have their own concerns, the two still embrace each other and sleep together. This is their common need.At noon, Zhuang Xuteng had already been waiting at his parents' house early. He used the two hours before the successor came to clean up the house and quickly clean up the eggworm field.

We made an appointment to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the other party came at two forty-five, which left a good first impression on Zhuang Xuteng.A total of two cars came, with a double-cab pickup truck in front. This kind of car is very suitable for driving on the muddy roads in the suburbs of League City, and it is not afraid at all even if it encounters a few ditches and bumps.The car behind is a medium-sized truck that can carry small standard containers.It can really carry a small container, instead of pulling a cargo bucket under normal circumstances.

Zhuang Xuteng took a closer look and saw a gaudy advertisement printed on the side of the container: a busty girl holding a remote control. The remote control had only one button that said "Start", and her finger was placed next to the remote control.This alone is enough to make me complain. The remote control only has a activation function but no termination function. Could it be that it is used to operate a suicide bomb?
The rest of the ad completes the story, revealing that she's controlling a team of five servers.These five people took over the tasks of washing, ironing, wiping the table, cooking and taking out the trash respectively. They all showed exaggerated smiles, probably to show that they enjoyed their work.Zhuang Xuteng looked at it again and saw that the advertisement read: "The future includes agency services, including all services you need in the future."

To be honest, Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand the grammar of this sentence, but he probably understood the meaning of the picture.This is a company that provides housekeeping services. With the push of a button, their people can go to work and relieve themselves of the burden.

The pickup truck braked slowly and stopped in front of his house, and then two young staff members, a man and a woman, got out.They were different from the protein farm workers in Zhuang Xuteng's memory. They didn't look like they were hunched over doing strenuous work. Instead, they looked like clerical workers who only sat in an office.

The two were wearing black single-layer suits, their tie clips and leather shoes were polished, and the pens on their chests reflected the pale sunshine of late autumn.Dressed like this, they were stimulated by the cold air as soon as they got off the car. Then at the same time - and with very similar movements - they took out a bottle from their pockets, poured out the pills from it, and swallowed them into their stomachs with a tilt of their necks.

"Hello, are you Zhuang... Oh, you should be Zhuang Xuteng, the agent for this farm handover." The woman said while chewing pills.As the medicine spread, she seemed to be able to resist the cold and became heroic again.

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and immediately pointed out his mistake: "The farm is not handed over. The protein insect field needs new staff, not a new boss."

"Sorry, my slip of the tongue should be... this contract!" The young woman adjusted her glasses, stepped forward, and handed the signed contract to Zhuang Xuteng, along with her ID card and work permit: "This This is my ID, can I see yours?"

"Ripless Nawu? The surname Nawu is very rare, which makes your name easy to impress others." Zhuang Xuteng took out his ID card. The last time he used this ID card, he was still wanted by the gang. Come to your door and force yourself to accept the salary compensation from Magic Crystal Factory.

"Mr. Zhuang Xuteng, no problem, the verification is passed. According to the data, it needs to be handed over... To be precise, the farm that uses leased workers is from No. 3 to No. 17 over there, right?"

"Yes, shall I take you there?" Zhuang Xuteng checked the contract and found that it was indeed the one signed by his parents.

"Sorry to trouble you, but there is something else before that." Nawu showed a formulaic smile and took out two pieces of paper from the document bag he carried with him. "Congratulations, you have been selected as the first batch of promotional customers of our agency. Not only can you enjoy discounts on service fees, but you can also obtain Pioneer VIP qualifications and have priority in purchasing various personnel agency services launched by our company. Our company's slogan is..."

The young men and women simultaneously raised their hands and high-fived in the air, saying: "Liberate mankind and create heaven!"

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Aren't you going to start a new religion? After the gods leave, this kind of activity will be illegal. My family will not participate in illegal activities."

"Haha, you misunderstood! We are all legal businesses, and they have nothing to do with religion. They are all technology, all the latest high technology!"

"Okay, high technology. No matter how high-tech is used to manage farm workers, they still have to work in the protein insect fields." Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said: "Let's go to the fields and have a look! As a member, you are already Give it to me, I can wait for a while and take a look at it. I am a more traditional person, so let’s do one thing at a time, okay?"

"Okay! I'll let the workers get out of the car right now!" Nawu nodded to his male colleague, who took out a remote control, and sure enough, there was only a start button on it.He pressed the button, and the container truck behind opened, and three execution puppets stepped out.
