Chapter 43: Black Eats Black

In the room, Li Yelai was wearing a pink battle robe, holding a sharp weapon, and his energy was deep in his dantian. He swung the knife suddenly, the knife flashed, and he killed quickly and swiftly....

He cut a plate of minced garlic.

Beside him, a beautiful girl in a small apron was washing vegetables with her head down, and her white fingers were soaked by the water column and carefully washed the dirt off the vegetables.

The pink apron wrapped her tall figure. But the white dress under the apron could not cover her beautiful and slender legs, like two white and tender bamboo shoots. There was a pair of cute little bear slippers on her white and crystal feet.

The long hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing a stunning side face and... already red ears.

She seemed very shy, and so was she.

After all, it was the first time she invited someone to her room. And it was a person of the opposite sex.

Yes, Li Yelai came to the doll's room.

As for the reason...

From any angle, Li Yelai was very grateful to the doll.

Whether it was the hair given to him as a trump card, or taking care of his sister when he was guarding the Black Prison.

It was all a favor from the boss.

Therefore, Li Yelai also attached great importance to eating with the doll.

According to the last agreement, Li Yelai planned to take the doll who liked spicy food to the hot pot restaurant that claimed to be from the Sichuan City.

Unfortunately, after the previous chaotic incident, the hot pot restaurant is still closed for repairs.

Seeing this scene, Li Yelai was a little helpless and sighed: "Look, my luck is getting bad again. Otherwise, let's go find another one?"

But the doll hesitated and raised the billboard to ask.

[Why don't we buy some vegetables and meat to make hot pot at home? My house is quite big (〃'▽'〃)]

"It has nothing to do with whether your house is big or not?" Li Yelai complained.

[You can save money (*^▽^*)]

The doll knows how to attack the weakness. When he heard the word "save money", Li Yelai hesitated.

It is indeed more economical to go to the doll's house to cook hot pot.

No, it should not be the money!

As a grown man, would it be inappropriate to go to a girl's house alone?

Li Yelai thought about it and asked, "Will it be too troublesome?"

[Not troublesome, not troublesome (ó﹏ò)]

[No guests have ever come to my house ()]

[I want to entertain guests once (_)]

[Is it okay ()]

The words on the billboard in the doll's hand changed continuously.

The words revealed tension and expectation.

Li Yelai thought so too. With the doll's curse, it seemed that no one except himself could visit her home.

If a strand of hair was left behind, the guests would be scared.

Seeing that the doll was so expectant, Li Yelai would naturally not let his benefactor down.

If the girl didn't care about this, it would be a bit weird for him to care about it.

Li Yelai nodded: "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

...

So, there was the scene now.

The doll took off her bulky doll clothes and wore a white dress with a pink apron. Together with Li Yelai, who was also wearing an apron, she prepared dipping sauce and vegetables in the kitchen.

The atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.

But in fact, the doll's heartbeat accelerated. She turned the water flow to the maximum to cover her heartbeat, but her ears had turned red.

She didn't know why she was so bold and dared to invite Li Yelai to her home, but at the same time she was secretly happy.

Although shy, she felt that her relationship with Li Yelai was better.

Until the two sat at the dining table and started eating hot pot.

The redness on her ears did not dissipate, but climbed up her cheeks.

Since no one usually came to visit the house, the layout of the doll's room in the branch was more casual.

As for the dining table, it was actually a glass table.

There was nothing wrong with it.

But when the two sat on both sides of the glass table, Li Yelai only needed to lower his head slightly to see the doll's white long legs through the transparent tabletop.

This made the doll even more shy, but she was too embarrassed to get up and change clothes.

Fortunately, Li Yelai didn't seem to notice this, but concentrated on dealing with the mutton rolls.

This made the doll feel a little relieved.

Li Yelai stared at the meat slices in the hot pot.

In fact, he also discovered the embarrassing situation now.

From his angle, he could even see the doll's thighs under the skirt of her dress.

But he couldn't say it clearly. Now the doll was so shy. Once he said it clearly, Li Yelai was worried that she would explode with shame.

So, Li Yelai could only stare at the hot pot, and only after he filled the table with plates of meat slices and vegetables did he feel relieved.

'Thank goodness I'm a gentleman! ' Li Yelai complained in his heart.

If you think about it carefully, the doll's behavior is quite dangerous for any girl living alone.

But considering the doll's curse, this seems understandable.

"Are you recovering well from your injuries?" The doll asked in a low voice after taking a bite of the hot tofu.

Perhaps because she was more familiar with Li Yelai, or perhaps because she was at home, her speech was much clearer.

"Well, almost recovered. After being strengthened by the Heart of Slaughter, these skin injuries were easily repaired. Not even scars were left." Li Yelai responded: "However, there are three scars on the chest where the Heart of Slaughter was attached. But it's not a big problem."

Three red scars like lightning were left on his chest, and when Li Yelai's heart beat violently and his body temperature began to rise, those scars showed signs of faint redness.

Other than that, there were no problems.

"Teammate said that you performed very well in the incident, and they are all optimistic about you." The doll continued to say that this was not flattery.

After the system of the Black Prison was repaired, everyone saw Li Yelai's feat of facing the Zhelan cavalry alone to cover the team members and finally breaking through the army!

There are even related posts in the forum. But many people don't believe it and think it's bragging. Team One also has the mentality of hiding treasures, and they say it's right, right, right.

Li Yelai was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "It's different, very different."

It's indeed different. The other handlers risked their lives to fight.

And he had Mr. Ying as a backup, so he dared to rush into the enemy camp.

He is not as brave and fearless as everyone imagined.

"I don't know why you deny these." The doll tilted its head and asked, "The ancients said that no one is perfect when judging by deeds, not by heart. No matter what you think in your heart, when you do these things, you are already as dazzling as a hero."

Looking at the gentle smile in the girl's eyes, Li Yelai shook his head slightly and changed the subject.

"Do you usually come back here to eat?" Li Yelai asked.

"Well, I usually go to the cafeteria to get food, and then bring it back here to eat." A little loneliness flashed in the doll's eyes, but it eventually turned into joy. She looked at Li Yelai and whispered, "Fortunately, I have you."

She has always been very fortunate that she was able to meet Li Yelai.

Otherwise, she might not be able to communicate with friends, cook together, and enjoy delicious food throughout her life.

Feeling the kindness of the girl, Li Yelai sighed in his heart.

Mr. Ying did some human things after all.

At least let this poor girl have someone to communicate with, so that she would not be so lonely.

After eating, Li Yelai helped wash the pots and bowls, and then left the doll's room.

Li Yelai didn't mutter to himself until he walked out of the branch.

"Hero? Am I considered one?"

The handlers in each branch were busy, as the aftereffects of the Fantasy Band incident had not completely disappeared.

The sudden increase in wild psychics and victims, and the escaped taboos, kept the handlers busy.

But since most of the members of Team 1 were injured and the number of casualties was serious.

The upper management did not intend to assign any tasks to Team 1, so the members of Team 1 seemed to be idle.

So, on October 1st, Li Yelai returned to the antique shop.

Perhaps the location was too remote, and he was too old to watch any broadcasts.

The owner of the antique shop and the store were not affected by the previous incident.

However, when Li Yelai walked into the antique shop carrying a big black umbrella.

He saw several people arguing with the owner in front of the counter of the antique shop.

Moreover, these people arguing were all strong and had a faint smell of blood. His arms were drooping and subconsciously placed on his waist. Obviously, there were some weapons or firearms hidden on his waist.

‘Oh, it’s a scavenger.’

Li Yelai thought, but when he approached the counter, he was noticed by those people.

One of them pointed at Li Yelai and shouted angrily: “Who are you?”

“Employee, employee! It’s my employee!” The boss at the counter waved his hand and said: “Don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive!”

Then, the boss waved Li Yelai to hurry into the counter.

“What’s going on?” Li Yelai walked into the counter, put down the big black umbrella, and asked in a low voice.

“There’s a problem with the goods, and the investigation came to me.” The boss was frowning.

Every antique shop has some relationship with some scavenger teams or private caravans.

Those scavenger teams will trade with various antique shops at specific trading points when they get antiques or other fragments in the wilderness.

So, the boss often goes out to pick goods at the trading points.

And this time, there seemed to be some problems in this link.

When the boss arrived, the original acquisition site was already dead and injured, and the buyers and scavengers at the scene were fighting.

Crazy snatching of a certain product, and finally ending up with almost everyone perishing together.

And the boss, because he went late, became one of the few survivors.

Now, the scavengers are planning to take the boss to investigate, and even suspect that the boss is one of the people who attacked the scavengers at that time.

After all, the Security Department will not intervene in the affairs of scavengers. They have their own rules.

However, this kind of rule is generally very deadly.

Therefore, the boss is not willing to assist in any investigation, for fear of getting into trouble.

No matter who it is, he doesn't want to provoke.

"Boss, what was the situation at that time?" Li Yelai was a little curious. In the world of scavengers, it is not uncommon for black to eat black. But multiple buyers suddenly attacked the scavenger group that had cooperated many times. This is rare.

Whose black eats black openly?

Isn't this asking for trouble? Presumably, those buyers who participated in the snatch have been stared at by the scavengers.

"At that time." The boss frowned and recalled: "When I arrived, the fight was already going on. I didn't dare to get close. Then..."

"And then you wanted to try to fish in troubled waters?" The fierce-looking stern man sneered: "What did you take away?"

"No, no." The boss waved his hand quickly, but was grabbed by the fierce-looking sturdy man's arm: "You'd better think it over before you speak! You know the methods of us scavengers!"

The sturdy man exerted force with one hand, pinching the boss's face pale. Just as he was about to threaten again.

He felt a pain in his wrist.

Because Li Yelai had already stretched out his hand to hold the wrist of the fierce-looking sturdy man.

"Don't be violent, sit down and talk slowly!" Li Yelai's face showed an expression of "we can discuss it if there is anything."

With Li Yelai's current strength, it doesn't take much effort to make the sturdy man sweat all over his body.

He hurriedly pulled back his arm.

"God damn, don't be violent!" The sturdy man covered his already bruised wrist and looked at Li Yelai vigilantly.

The other scavengers also took action, with their palms already on their waists.

"You don't think you are safe in the giant city? Do you have bullets?" Someone looked at Li Yelai with a cold look.

It must be said that this guy is much more martial than Wang De. He also has many concerns.

Wang De was the one who ordered the shooting without hesitation, knowing that Li Yelai and the others were psychics.

"Wait, don't do it, don't do it! Xiaoye, don't be impulsive!" The boss gritted his teeth and said, "You can search here, search as you like. I didn't take anything!"

"Humph, no need to search. Just come with us!" The fierce-faced strong man said coldly, "We have our own means of investigation. If we have wronged you, we will give compensation, and you will have priority to purchase our goods in the future. But if it is you..."

"Okay!" The boss gritted his teeth: "Anyway, I have a clear conscience!"

Then, the boss said to Li Yelai: "Xiaoye, the antique shop will be handed over to you first."

"No, this kid is your employee, he has to come with us!" The fierce-faced strong man stared at Li Yelai with his eyes.

The boss's face changed, but Li Yelai nodded and said, "Okay!"

Li Yelai naturally agreed.

Or, he just wanted to go over and take a look. He had to at least ensure the safety of innocent people.

From the statement just now, this is obviously not an ordinary black-eating-black.

Those buyers are not only people from the antique shop, but also subordinates of wealthy merchants in the giant city, as well as some antique lovers.

People of different identities and status actually started to snatch goods at the same time. This is too weird.

Therefore, Li Yelai believes that this incident may be related to psychics or even taboos.

In the branch, perhaps a team of handlers has discovered this matter and may be investigating it.

Since it has happened, Li Yelai, as a handler, naturally cannot stand idly by.

If it is a misunderstanding, then everything is easy to say. Li Yelai will not interfere in anything.

But if it is a taboo or a psychic, it will be handled by the handler.

So, Li Yelai carried a big black umbrella and sat in the pickup truck of the fierce-looking strong man.

At the same time, a message sounded in the West City Branch.

[Attention, all support teams, it has been observed that a team member of the East City Branch, "Yejiang", accidentally participated in this operation]
