After turning the key and starting the car, and realizing that she was about to leave home and head into an unknown fog, Natalia couldn't help but look at her mother again.
She hopes her mother can keep her.
But the Countess just smiled, nodded, and said:
"Remember to take care of yourself when you are out there, and also take care of your husband."
Natalia had no choice but to drive away.
In the rearview mirror, the mother's figure gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared. The convertible left the garage and drove out of the Rostov family's mansion.
But she didn't go far. Natalia drove the car around and stopped on the side of the road. Then she looked at the young man in the passenger seat who had fastened his seat belt and had a leisurely look on his face.
Not sure, he tentatively asked in a voice that was too mature for a girl but too green for a royal sister:
"Um...please ask, are you really my friend?"
"of course not."
Zhou Cheng clasped his hands together, spread them out quickly, and replied with a smile.
Looking at the astonished expression of the big white bear, he raised his eyebrows slightly and joked:
"I've been meaning to ask you before. At the beginning, you didn't think you were dreaming, right?"
"Hey……"
The strange-colored eyes slowly opened, and Natalia remembered her previous behavior in front of the maids.
"Well, at that time, the maids were probably planning their own eldest lady in their hearts, and they would not let such thoughts surface in words."
"But...why did you show up in my car? And..."
And she naturally regarded him as a good friend.
"Well, this is just extracting the impression from your subconscious mind. You should always want a good friend who can talk about anything, right?
"As for me, I took on this identity."
In other words, is it Source Stone skill?
One doubt was solved, but it brought more doubts.
What kind of Originium technology can have such an impact?Create an identity that is recognized by the majority of people?
It's a bit too scary...
It can even make a mother give away her biological daughter...
"Not."
Looking at Sister Hayako's tense expression, you can probably tell what she is thinking. Zhou Cheng said casually:
"Your mother and I have known each other for a long time, and we haven't used spells on them, even though we have known each other for a short time.
"Her decision to hand you over to me was made in a completely rational state and after full consideration and judgment."

85.He is a general
On the way to Rostov's house in the car that was exposed early, Zhou Cheng used his identity as a senior executive of Iron Blood Heavy Industry to contact the countess...or a unilateral notification.
The army of Jagged Heavy Industry has caught up with the city, and before the army chooses to destroy it, she can have another choice.
Kill Count Boris, the mayor of this city and a partner of the Rostov family, to take complete control of Chernobog and surrender to Iron Blood Heavy Industry.
In this case, Iron Blood Heavy Industries allowed one member of their family to serve as the new mayor of Chernobog and join the municipal system of the Drak Empire.
Of course, there are some additional elements, the political marriage tentatively brought up by the Countess...well, she took the initiative to bring it up in exchange for some help from Iron Blood Heavy Industry.
There is no need to tell Natalia about this.
Looking at Natalia, who was gradually understanding the situation, Miss Ursus, who had a mature figure, seemed to have regained her composure and asked calmly:
"So, sir, what do you need me to do?"
"You're tight again."
"I……"
"Relax, I think you are too tired, so I brought you out to play. I don't want to kidnap you or force you to complete any tasks.
"If you want to go home, we can go back now."
...Then I will take advantage of the opportunity to live in your house.
Zhou Cheng smiled and shrugged. Seeing that she was still hesitant and didn't understand, he continued:
"Don't you always want a friend who you can talk to about everything? I can do it, you can talk to me about anything.
"I know a little bit about everything, and I don't take any position when speaking. If you want to ask me a question, I can give you a pertinent answer. If you need help, I can also provide you with a solution."
Natalia showed a polite smile, embarrassed but polite, and said:
"I'd love to be friends sir, but maybe we could slow things down a bit? I don't even know your name yet."
The tone was very formal, decent and a little distant.
In her heart, she resisted the influence of her mental ability on her thinking, and she didn't want to get involved even with a handsome guy who suited her tastes for the time being.
To this, Zhou Cheng just responded casually:
"The name is just a title. If you want, call me Zhou Cheng."
"Okay, so where do we go now?"
Natalia still gave in.
She has never been a tough person. At most, she would be tough once in a while, but when the other party was unmoved, that bit of toughness would quickly disappear.
"There aren't many places worth visiting in Chernobog. Let's go to Azazel first."
"Azazel...that urban legend of the infected clinic?"
Just when Natalia was about to tell him that she didn't know where that place was, she saw him closing his eyes and saying:
"Just drive. I'll figure it out... I mean, I'll show you the way."
How can you give directions when your eyes are closed?
Although she was complaining like this in her heart, Natalia still started the car honestly and started slowly on the road.
Unexpectedly, even though she didn't see him open his eyes to look, he could always tell her just a few seconds in advance whether to turn or go straight.
After driving like this for a while, in front of a red light, Zhou Cheng opened his eyes and said:
"You'll just turn left into the alley ahead... Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of something. Natalia, you're too old to get a driver's license, right?"
"It's just a small shortcut."
Natalia gave the obvious answer.
This was a matter of course for her who had received a noble education. After all, a large part of this city belonged to her family, so just getting a driver's license in advance was nothing.
"Oh, what happens if someone checks your driver's license?"
Of course nothing will happen, all the procedures have been completed...
Natalia wanted to answer like this, but when she saw the serious expression on the face of the young man in the co-pilot, she couldn't help but laugh. After a slight hesitation, she gave up a more official answer and followed the relaxed atmosphere and said:
"I figured I didn't look like I didn't have a driver's license, so they weren't going to check on me."
As she said that, she turned to look outside. There were few vehicles on the road, and police patrols were seen from time to time on the street. There was a tense air on the street.
We are about to approach Longmen, and we have not yet received a response from Yanguo. Everyone is panicking, not knowing what path the mayor will choose.
She was just about to worry about the tense atmosphere when she heard a voice beside her saying:
"You should have more fun riding in a convertible. Convertibles are the happiest car."
Natalia tried to smile, but she felt uncomfortable for some reason. It seemed that this was not a good move.
She didn't care too much. The red light turned green and the convertible started driving again.
Turning left, you can see that the neighborhood has become dilapidated. It is completely different from the road outside, and the difference seems to be decades.
At first glance, it was completely deserted here, but after driving further inside, you could vaguely notice someone peeping in secretly.
A little uneasiness, a dilapidated environment, and vaguely hostile eyes all made Natalia, who lived in a stable environment, feel insecure.
And the only thing that can make her feel at ease here——
Natalia looked at Zhou Cheng, who was still calm and calm.
The senses of things are all contrasted.
At least, his behavior has always been friendly.
Seeing the big white bear looking at him for reassurance, Zhou Cheng said calmly:
"Go on, nothing will happen. Even if something happens, it won't be us."
"..."
Natalia was a little worried about whether there would be a violent conflict, but she was already a little resigned and drove forward according to his words.
Until he stopped at the entrance of a dark alley,
Looking up, the gray narrow walls were twisting and twisting, and the bricks were covered with dusty cobwebs. At the end of the corner, there was a tall white-haired old man standing there wearing a coat and holding a long knife.
For Natalia, it’s hard to describe that feeling.
Standing straight and proud, his figure is like the sharpest sword blade in the world. You can feel its edge just by looking at it. A killing wind blows towards your face, and the symphony of gold and iron horses seems to ring in your ears. Voice.
He seemed to be making some preparations and had been building momentum. It was not until they arrived that the white-haired old man Li Boli raised his sharp eyes.
The moment he met his gaze, a feeling of terror surged up his spine, but before it could spread, a hand was placed on his shoulder, bringing a strong sense of security.
After recovering from the shock, Natalia felt that she saw something in the old man's eyes.
seem……
Does he have a death wish?
86. The hostile Natalia (more updates)
"You are not welcome here."
The white-haired old man said.
He put on a posture as if he would take action if they took even half a step forward.
"Oh."
Nodding, Zhou Cheng got out of the car and walked into the alley.
He did nothing, just moved forward, but every time he took a step, the white-haired old man would take a step back, as if there was an invisible force pushing the old man away.
Natalia couldn't clearly recognize the invisible confrontation. When she thought about it, the old man had already huddled his back tightly against the wall just like when she faced her mother.
It could be seen that cold sweat was flowing down his face, which was becoming more and more aged.
In contrast, the black-haired young man had an indifferent expression. While walking slowly, he asked casually:
"You don't dare to take action. What are you doing to stop me?"
The feeling of nonchalance overflowed from his every move. Even if the old man raised the knife, he still remained calm.
In fact, just as he said, even if he walked in front of him casually, the white-haired old man still did not dare to chop down the knife, and his hands were frozen in mid-air.
Stopping and looking at the old man Li Boli named Herag in front of him, Zhou Cheng knew why he didn't dare to take the knife.
It wasn't that he didn't have the determination to protect the clinic behind him, but it was because of his determination that he took no action.
Taking action will inevitably lead to revenge, and he cannot afford the price of revenge.
He raised his hand and gently pushed away Herage's long knife. After a slight pause, he patted the child's shoulder. Zhou Cheng smiled warmly and said:
"Hello, Herage, do you mind if my friends and I come over for a while?"
He looks like an old man, but in fact, there is not much difference between age and premature exposure for him. He is only a fraction of the time, and both are children.
Herage slowly retracted the knife and stared at him for a few seconds. Finally, his aura was relieved, his expression lowered, and he responded in a low voice:
"……it is good."
