The Riddler Get Out of Terra

Texas moved his tail with difficulty for a while to restore the black tail hair that had exploded due to Hao Zhao's treatment to its original smooth and shiny state.

But her actions were wrapped up in her nervousness, so that her hair was spread into a mess, and she no longer looked as neat as she had been cleansed with Tail Essence by Miss Luper when she went out in the morning.

Texas also didn't want to recall this past event that happened a few months ago - people will always try to forget an extremely tragic and humiliating memory, but many times these memories will not disappear, they are like the most terrifying inner demons Likewise, it digs its roots deep into the host's heart, extracting pain and shame to strengthen itself.

Finally, on a sunny or cloudy afternoon, it suddenly burst out of the memory, with deep guilt and pain that once again cut into a scarred heart.

Zhuge Kongming.

The powerlessness and shame this man brought to Longmen, to Wei Yanwu, to Mrs. Wenyue, to Hei Li, to Rat King, to Chen, to Angel Angel and Texas were like a squeaking iron branded on the limbs. , etching the pain and powerlessness on them forever.

So much so that when Texas asked vaguely about that man again after nearly half a year, the capable angel also lost his smile.

This was an unprecedented defeat since she came out of Rutland. Mostima, Texas, sister...

She met many people, crossed the dangerous path from Lateran to the Flame Kingdom, saw the cruel and terrifying power of natural disasters in the distance, and met many Lateran messengers on missions to other countries, and had some special meals together. Dessert.

She originally thought that she could walk through the romantic part of her life with a smile on this land with the gun in her hand and her strong legs, but she found that when faced with the most powerful violence and the most vicious cruelty, None of these things could save her.

If these two are just one kind, then the angels can always find ways and luck to avert danger, which is also the good luck shared by the Rutlanders.

But when she really faced the strong man who was closely combined with the two, Rutlan's training and gun-shaped staff could not save her and her friends. The smile on her face and the painful pleas could not save her and her friends. Rutlan's identity and Even her combat experience, which she thought was pretty good, couldn't save her and Texas!

"Angel capable...hum."

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and the sky was just right. There were no signs of natural disasters or the endless wind in the wasteland. The man with green tail scales inserted the extremely sharp long sword next to her cheek, while the capable angel lay on the ground and collapsed. , unable to extract any strength from his body.

"Rutland people? The pearls of rice also shine with brilliance? Just cherish your life now. Sooner or later, Rutland will pay the price for his actions."

He is serious.

Angel Angel always used pretentiousness and enthusiasm to cover up her true inner thoughts. These cover-ups she was accustomed to also gave her a little experience in judging truth from lies - but at that time she really hated herself for having such an ability.

Rutland will pay the price.

This sentence seems to have become a curse, causing the angel to fall into an inescapable nightmare.

Suddenly hearing Texas mention that man, the smile on Angel's face couldn't be maintained for a moment.

Hao Zhao, on the other hand, after a moment of silence, the orange cat muttered and revealed the true nature of the treatment:

"They are magnetized water reshaped by Kong Ming's manipulation of water flow. He can condense these water flows very finely - like extremely small, extremely fine needles. If he uses some Origin Stone skills, he can do it in an instant. Disable most people from combat capabilities."

Yes, and it's extremely sharp, able to pierce steel and tear through thick shields.

Memories came back again, and Texas inevitably thought of that failed and successful delivery, that

The man just stretched out his hand, and she and Angel Angel fell to the ground together and became rubbish that could be kneaded at will. At that time, as long as Kong Ming slashed his sword, they would immediately become the most common rubbish in the wilderness.

"But in fact, the function of water flow is much more than that," Hao Zhao pondered for a while, and suddenly heard: "Do you know the story of Kong Ming?"

"Know a little."

Texas recalled the information about Zhuge Kongming shared by the Longmen Guards Bureau to him and the Angels due to the special circumstances, his ears twitched and he nodded.

"I heard that he was with Director Hao when he first arrived at Longmen? You were roommates for a while."

"That's right," Hao Zhao admitted: "At that time, I was planning to come to Longmen from the interior of Yan Kingdom, and I met a caravan on the way. At that time, I met him.

"Then, he said that his strength was low and his means were crude. Going to Longmen was very dangerous. However, the caravan had to change its route to Ursus halfway through, so he had to ask other people on the way if they wanted to go to Longmen together."

Hao Zhao sighed, seeming to remember the moment when the two met and became friends:

"The man had a smile on his face and walked over to ask one by one. One time, the Ursus man had a bad temper and his tone made me angry. However, the man could still talk to him calmly and even asked him He took a sip of the Yanguo old wine he brewed, and soon became involved with the small Ursus group."

"In less than an hour, he had a group of Ursus friends who were willing to invite him to their home for drinking. In Ursus today, inviting unidentified foreigners into your home for drinking is a ready-made excuse. If it is discovered, both host and guest will probably go to the Ursus Mine to end their lives."

"But that man did it. When he was chatting and laughing with the Usas people, and even received a pot of Usas liquor and Dalieba as a gift from them, Kong Ming started to ask other people one by one if they were going to Longmen. of."

"Then he walked up to me."

Hao Zhao sighed, and Texas also let out a sigh of relief. What's next?It's just a devil sneaking into the sheepfold and making everything run wildly out of control, which is inevitable.

"Actually, I should have known at that time that this man was definitely not a creature of the pond. The Ursus people are so stubborn and violent, and he could find opportunities to become friends with them. How could such a man not be able to go to Longmen by himself?"

Hao Zhao laughed bitterly, and Neng Tian tried his best to put on a difficult smile on his face, but how could this comfort him?The encounter between Hao Zhao and Zhuge Kongming already existed in the past and cannot be canceled with a smile.

Chapter 8 Zhuge Kongming ([-])

"Later I asked him, I said, what should you do if you can't find anyone who can go to Longmen? Are you going to go to Longmen alone in this wilderness?"

"But he told me that there was nothing to think about. Maybe those Ursus friends would be willing to accompany him to Longmen? Even if not, maybe there will be some problems with the water source of the caravan, and we have to go to Longmen to replenish it?"

"I said, you think so, do you sometimes rely too much on luck? Maybe the caravan arrived directly at Ursus without making any mistakes, right? Kong Ming didn't say anything at that time, he just smiled at me."

Hao Zhao had a wry smile on his face, as if he couldn't bear to look back at the time when they first met:

"Now that I think about it, where is the luck? It's just the inevitable result."

Director Orange Cat shook his head, and Texas couldn't help but show a somewhat bitter expression of comfort. Angel Angel opened his mouth to say something, but in the next moment, his attention was absorbed by the words coming out of Hao Zhao's mouth:

"After coming to Longmen, he always gets what he wants one step ahead of many others. I asked him why you are always one step ahead of others, and he actually told me that this is a basic reasoning method.

"'Basic reasoning, my friend.' I still remember that day he flicked his fingers on the deerstalker hat he bought from an unknown street stall in the lower city, and said this with a smile."

Texas opened his mouth - thinking of the man's layer upon layer of careless and gray lines along the way, and his determination to achieve success in one blow, his so-called basic reasoning meant nothing more.

Sure enough, Hao Zhao's words fit her opinion:

"Later, the two of us had a falling out. Because I discovered that there was his shadow behind many things. He was turning into a spider that couldn't be removed in the lower city. Those complicated, chaotic, and secret relationships were him. Zhuge Kong Ming’s spider web, any disturbance will attract the spider’s attention.”

"At that time, I was already the acting director of Xiacheng District. Maybe it's a bit boastful to say that, but I actually have some talent in document organization. As a result..."

Hao Zhao let out a short laugh, self-deprecation almost overflowing from his voice:

"I didn't expect that my friend would suddenly change from a know-it-all who always sees the enemy's opportunities to a mastermind who weaves everything together. I drank a lot that day, took a voice recorder with me, and went to confront him.

"——He did it so cleanly. If I hadn't seen his methods from many irrelevant details, it would be hard for me to think that my friend would be sitting on the throne of the Uncrowned King."

"Then……"

Even though he knew the ending of the story told by Hao Zhao

, knowing the reality that the two people finally broke up, and knowing that Hao Zhao would not win in the end, Angel Neng still asked.

She was almost entranced.

From Hao Zhao's description, the capable angel almost immediately saw a scheming pretender with no bottom line.

Wearing a mask of enthusiasm, he made good relations with every stranger he met, and after arriving at Longmen, he quickly transformed into the mastermind controlling the Lower City. If Hao Zhao hadn't discovered the flaw, Longmen Lower City might have become The knife that leads to victory in Kong Ming's hand.

His ambitions and goals are extremely great, and his caution and patience are also extremely deep. The image of a hero and a conspirator is vividly resurrected in Hao Zhao's description. From the perspective of the future, everything Zhuge Kongming said to Hao Zhao The story seems to hint at the ending between the two of them.

"At that time, we were arguing like crazy. I was eager to collect evidence and deliberately provoked him. I remember the loudest thing I shouted at that time was: 'Your hypocritical and disgusting things are nothing! Sooner or later, you will If you fail, you will end up in hell!'"

"In the end, he actually laughed."

Hao Zhao laughed briefly, the emotions in his voice were extremely complicated. The experience of that night determined the break between Director Orange Cat and his best friend:

"'Have you ever counted how many leaves fall from a tree in autumn?' he asked me, but he quickly answered: 'I have counted, one, two...ten, twenty... …I found that no matter how I judged or guessed, there would always be special circumstances that made my guess fall short.'"

"'Later, later, I discovered something more profound. Since the leaves on the trees always fall from time to time, I will try to guess a larger number, and then go to the yard Wouldn't it be enough to just pick off the excess leaves?'"

The capable angel's body trembled, and even the bright angel ring on her head couldn't help but switch between dim and bright several times. Zhuge Kongming's words reminded her of how everything was arranged when the Dragon Gate disaster broke out. The strange coincidence gave me a profound understanding of Zhuge Kongming's layout.

“How could someone who could say such a thing not leave any backup plan behind?”

Hao Zhao went on to say: "If one plan fails, the next one will be waiting. If an operation fails, there will be a new ambush hiding in the dark. He always likes to leave a third force to wait for the next time, so how could he not leave a hidden hand? "

"So...what did you pull out of us?"

Texas immediately made an association, and the bad premonition intensified, making her black-haired and white-haired ears stiffen again.

"Magnetized water can remain dormant in a person's body for years after being reprocessed."

Hao Zhao said: "As long as you prepare the Origin Stone skill and burn it in advance, this thing may be activated at any time during the latent period, and as long as it is activated..."

Hao Zhao didn't say anything about the subsequent results, but Texas and Angel felt chills all over just thinking about it:

As expected, that man left behind a backhand that was enough to turn the tables. If Hao Zhao hadn't discovered it early, either he or the people he sent could have repeated the story they didn't want to mention as long as they found the right opportunity.

"My Origin Stone skills are not very strong - after all, I didn't practice them back then, and I don't practice them much now."

Hao Zhao waved his right hand in front of Angel Angel and Texas, and a weak blue current enveloped his entire palm:

"Although it has been improved at a subtle level, the duration and energy release standards cannot cure the root cause at once, so it takes multiple slow extractions to extract the magnetized water needle that Kong Ming put into your body."

Chapter 9 Tung’s Fish Balls

"Give."

Hao Zhao handed two bags full of steamed buns to the Texas and Energy Angels:

"The one in Aneng's hand is stuffed with meat, pork and mushrooms, and the one in Texas's hand is stuffed with vegetarian stuffing and spicy vermicelli. You two can eat them together, and this one."

He handed them two more cups of soy milk, asking the two partners who were being promoted to gold medal employees at Penguin Logistics to keep their hands empty:

"First of all, I don't know if you like salty or sweet drinks. One cup is sweet and the other is salty. The one in Aneng's hand is sweet, and the one in Texas's hand is salty."

"OK~OK~! Thank you Director Hao for the honor! Remember to call us next morning! I will definitely give you a ride!"

The capable angel smiled and took the soy milk handed over by Director Hao. He pierced it with a straw first and took a deep sip. Two bulging meatballs appeared on his delicate little face, and the sweet and greasy taste filled Latte. Orchid's mouth.

"Hmm~~~~ It tastes delicious!"

Neng Tianzhi swallowed it in one gulp and gave Hao Zhao a thumbs up with the hand holding the bun.

"Okay, you guys go to work early, I'll go back after dinner, everyone is well, and remember to get treatment!"

Hao Zhao waved to Texas and Angel Neng and walked towards the Longmen Morning Market behind him. Behind him, Texas and Angel Neng got in together with the breakfast invited by Director Hao - the two of them also had breakfast today. The postal delivery mission is a promotion competition to become a gold medal employee.

After completing the promotion, Penguin Logistics' amazing benefits will be fully unlocked. Angel and Texas can update the mail truck and add team members, and their movement time will be more free. Then they can have flexible vacation time and high salary. The salary is high, and there is no need to perform tasks as tightly as now.

The boss of Penguin Logistics is a penguin known as the Emperor. I heard from the old Rat King, who has been on good terms with Hao Zhao since he treated Kong Ming’s hand.

This penguin, dressed like a hip-hop artist, appears to be immortal.

In the continent of Terra, the Rat King and beings like him, who are tall, can talk, and have great abilities, are called the ancestors - they seem to be considered powerful, rich and handsome people in their own tribe?

For some reason, most Terrayans are obviously human bodies with some animal ears and tails, but the aesthetics of the ancestors, which is premature among humans, are quite popular among demihumans.

If that's the case, then Wei Yanwu and Mrs. Wenyue are both handsome men and beauties from their respective tribes?

Thinking of Wei Gong's head that resembled a dragon's head and Wen Yue's unwillingness to give in to her husband, which was enough to make Furry control the ecstasy, Hao Zhao touched his chin:

Do you want to swindle the entire body of the ancestors of the Philin tribe next time?Maybe he can even be a handsome guy whom cats fall in love with.

"Director Hao, do you want to come and eat fish balls? Have a taste of the good fish you just bought from the sea market?"

Before Hao Zhao could finish thinking about whether or not to release the Ancestors Film, a shout attracted his attention.

Da Mao followed the sound and saw the old man from Usas with a gloomy look behind the fish ball stall, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Okay! Let's have three bowls, Uncle Dong! I couldn't forget the fish balls made by Ah Zi last time, so I have to eat all the fish balls you two made today to enjoy it!"

"okay!"

With a smile on his face, Uncle Dong's eyes were as gentle as looking at a successful young man. He picked up the knife and removed the scales of the scaly beast on the chopping board. The handle was a little old, but the tip of the knife could be seen. The old-fashioned kitchen knife is frighteningly skillful. It only picks out the flesh of the scaled animal. After the scales are peeled off, the white meat and soil are tightly separated.

Uncle Dong then used the blade of the knife to chop a portion of the fish meat, and the soft pink scaly animal meat filling appeared on the chopping board, making Hao Zhao couldn't help but marvel:

"Awesome, awesome. Uncle Dong's sword skills are really powerful. I am also proficient in martial arts. My master told me that young people are afraid of strong fists. I didn't expect that Uncle Dong's skills are so powerful! Then why should I be afraid of young strong men with boxing!"

"Don't brag, it's not that powerful!"

Uncle Dong smiled at Hao Zhaoming's secret praise. He couldn't help but show his hand again. He flicked his palm in the boiling hot water. When he pulled it out, his fingertips were filled with white heat, and his face was full of heat. But there was no pain at all. Instead, he started to pinch the fish balls while the heat was still in his hands!

The Ah Zi next to him also moved his hands, but after all, he was a young man and did not have the hard-earned old skills of Uncle Dong. But what kind of vision did Hao Zhao have?Just by looking at it, one can tell that this young Ussian Ah Zhi, who learned the craft from Dong Bo, is able to cut scales and peel skins with ease, and has his own way of cutting meat with a knife. He has already begun to look like a master similar to Dong Bo!

"A'Zi is a talented person. Looking at his sword skills, is he as good as Uncle Dong and me?"

After Uncle Dong took the fish balls, he threw them into the boiling soup and cooked them. He noticed that Hao Zhao was observing Ah Zi, so he took a look and chatted with Director Hao.

"To be honest, it's not even [-] percent brilliant," Hao Zhao commented: "Ah's craftsmanship is really good, but compared to you, Uncle Dong... to be honest, I can only learn [-]%."

"But what's so commendable is that Ah Zi can advance and retreat quite well when he moves his hands. There is no difference in the slightest. His hands are scales, and he does not hesitate to use the knife - this is amazing. It should be noted that knife skills are easy to learn but hard to master. Just swing a knife. Anyone can do it, but to do it like A Zi..."

Hao Zhao couldn't help but shook his head, with a bit of contrived envy on his face:

"How many years has Uncle Dong taken Ah Zi? At any rate, it must have been three to five years. Without such a long period of immersion, it would be even more difficult to be like Ah Zi."

"You are wrong about that."

Seemingly being praised to a great extent, Dong Bo couldn't help but smile on his face:

"Ah Zi has only been with me for less than a year. He was not willing to do this business at first. I tried hard to convince Ah Zi to follow me in cooking. But Ah Zi is really talented. In less than a year, he became a I’m going to learn the scale-killing sword technique!”

"This is amazing..."
