flying switch

Qian Shuichong blinked his eyes quickly: "...does what I concealed make you so angry?"

Zhong Rong waved his hand quickly, and pulled down the eyepiece: "I didn't mean that... I, I mean, you are the first person I think is very powerful, and I want to compete with you."

He raised his eyes cautiously: "Can't you?"

Qian Shuichong regretted it immediately, he knew that the difference in identity between "2" and "No.2" would make Wuzhong change like this, so he should have told him that he was No.[-] earlier.

The elevator was about to arrive, he took off his eyepiece and smiled at Wuzhong: "Of course."

Wu Zhong's eyes lit up all of a sudden, Qian Shuichong saw the excitement and enthusiasm in it, found it interesting, couldn't help but want to tease him, raised his wrist and handed it over: "There is no one here."

Zhong Rong's ears were feverish, but he still grabbed [-]'s wrist, walked out of the elevator with him, and secretly looked around, feeling like walking into the presidential suite of some high-end hotel: "Is this place safe now?"

"Safe," Qian Shuichong motioned to Wuzhong to sit on the soft sofa beside him, "There was no one left in that team just now, and I turned on the jammer again, so they couldn't send any news."

Zhong Rong understood, and after sitting down, he remembered the business, raised his eyes to look at [-], and his thoughts were diverted again: "Why don't you sit down?"

Qian Shuichong looked at him in the blink of an eye: "Worried? Do you want me to sit next to you?"

It was originally a joke, but Wu Zhong nodded his head seriously, making Qian Shuichong a little at a loss for a while.He was stunned for a long time, and he was shocked by Wu Zhong's straightforwardness for a long time before returning to his senses, and immediately decided not to tease Wu Zhong again: "I will sit down after turning on the defense mode."

Zhong Rong looked at [-]'s flustered back and was a little puzzled, but then he stopped entangled and talked about the business: "Have you found a way to open the ruby?"

Qian Shuichong turned on the defense mode, turned around and walked towards Wuzhong, hesitating beside him for half a second before sitting down: "I have to try it."

"How to try?" Wu Zhong turned to him and asked.

Qian Shuichong's knee was accidentally bumped by Wuzhong, his eyebrows twitched, he resisted the urge to reach out and hold that leg, and took out the Holy Grail of blood: "...For divination, it may include both the past and the present." The enemy and Enemy 'handshake' may also refer to putting together all the prizes of that contest."

"That makes sense," Zhong Rong nodded, and took out the ruby ​​and Chuangshi Qingquan, "Did you just throw it in?"

Qian Shuichong held on to the Holy Grail of Blood, watching the jewels jingle into the bottom of the cup.Zhong Rong opened the bottle cap and poured in a drop of spring water.The spring water rests on the ruby ​​for half a second and is then absorbed into the ruby.Both of them stared at the ruby, and both held their breath involuntarily.

2 minutes passed, Ruby was so quiet, nothing happened.

Zhong Rong frowned: "Why is there no movement?"

"Should be like this?" Qian Shuichong thought carefully about which step went wrong, "Is it not a handshake to make peace just by putting things together?"

"Could it be a problem of item ownership?" Zhong Rong recalled what happened during the previous mission, "Maybe we need to make these three items belong to the same person at the same time and then combine them. I have encountered this kind of thing before. It may be determined by the system Setup problem."

"Then take the Holy Grail of Blood," Qian Shuichong presented the Holy Grail to him, "and try one last time."

Zhong Rong took the Holy Grail of Blood, and hesitated before making the move: "This is the last chance."

Qian Shuichong nodded: "It's okay, if you can't, just sell the gems that can't be opened, and you can earn enough."

Zhong Rong let out a long breath: "Then I'm down."

The last drop of clear spring water fell into the ruby ​​in the blood chalice, and was also absorbed, and nothing happened.Zhong Rong put the Holy Grail on the low table beside him, and silently prayed nervously to the gemstone.

Suddenly, the gem swayed by itself, knocking against the wall of the cup with a clang.Zhong Rong's eyes widened, and he leaned forward to check. [-] also came over to observe the gemstones with him.

The dark ruby ​​drop-shaped heart gradually changes in the shaking, filling and shaking like red sea water.Then, the crimson water broke through the tightly bound outer wall of the water droplet, and gradually occupied the thick irregular gemstone around the water droplet, making the whole gemstone seem to be filled with red sea water, only a layer of skin as thin as a cicada's wing glass blocks it. with.

The shaking became more and more violent, and the sea water rolled in waves, constantly hitting the fragile shell.There were no cracks in the shell, but the liquid slowly seeped out, gradually covering the bottom of the cup, spreading like blood.The ruby ​​seemed to have its own color brought out by that drop of spring water. As the blood flowed out continuously, the color of the ruby ​​gradually faded from blood red to transparent.In the drop-shaped inner core that has become transparent, you can see a new scenery that was invisible before—a fully-enclosed concave-convex sculpture.

The gem floated on the blood fountain, swaying peacefully with the waves.Zhong Rong looked at the blood-red water, and suddenly understood the meaning of "existence of non-existent things" in divination: "Blood does not exist in the flying switch, but there is a way to turn it into blood! The three treasures are combined, and the spring water is fused The water drop that enters the gemstone turns into a drop of blood, and the blood drop can break through the gemstone and reveal the message inside."

Qian Shuichong was thoughtful: "Moon seems to have found out that there are indeed people who have said that blood may exist."

Zhong Rong took out the gem and carefully observed the engraving: "I can't see clearly... Is this the next treasure inside?"

"It doesn't seem like it," Qian Shuichong gently lifted the gem in Zhong Rong's hand, "This may be a reminder for the next mission."

"It has to be opened." Zhong Rong couldn't see anything, and put the gemstone into [-]'s palm with abandon, "Can you open it? Alai's repair task is estimated to be completed tomorrow."

"Moon should be fine," Qian Shuichong put away the gems, "I'll tell you when I find the information, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Zhong Rong looked into [-]'s eyes, feeling a bit reluctant: "Then you go to find her now?"

Qian Shuichong heard what he meant, saw his bright black eyes again, and changed his plan in his heart: "No," he rolled his eyes at Wu Zhong, stretched out his hand and asked, "I want to invite you to go shopping now. Are you going?" ? The night view of Flying Switch is very beautiful.”

Zhong Rong suddenly became energetic: "Go!"

When it finally went offline, the neon and holographic projections were still in front of Zhong Rong, and he could see a large area with his eyes closed.Before he fell asleep, he was in a daze, and he could still hear the sound of the wind blowing by. It wasn't until he fell asleep that the world became quiet again.

Perhaps because of going to bed late, Zhong Rong couldn't keep his eyes open the next day, dressed and washed as if he was sleepwalking, and casually tied a small braid at the back of his head as if he had done his hairstyle.When he was ready to leave home, he collided with Qian Shuichong who opened the door and left the room. His nose hurt and he woke up suddenly. Only then did he remember that he still owed Qian Shuichong an apology.

Qian Shuichong's wrist sank, and was held tightly by Zhong Rong.He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Huh?"

Zhong Rong raised his eyes, blinked quickly, breathed heavily and opened his mouth suddenly: "Yes..."

"Shui Chong, Xiao Zhong," Shui Yun raised her head and smiled softly, "Come down for dinner?"

Zhong Rong's words were stuck in his mouth, and when he saw Zhong Shuangen behind Shuiyun, he reacted suddenly and let go of Qian Shuichong's wrist.He avoided Qian Shuichong's eyes, bowed his head in embarrassment, said "it's okay" in a low voice, and walked towards the stairs rubbing Qian Shuichong's shoulder.

Zhong Shuangen pretended not to see him, was knocked on the shoulder by Shui Yun, and smacked his lips: "Zhong Rong..."

Zhong Rong didn't want to talk to him, but Shui Yun had already helped him open the seat with a smile: "Eat a little, I made a sandwich, maybe you like it."

"No, I can't," Zhong Rong avoided her eyes guiltily, lowered his head and put on his shoes, "I'm going to be late for work..."

"I'll see you off later," Qian Shuichong walked down the stairs leisurely, "The drive is fast."

"But……"

"Auntie, let's pack it up for you." Shui Yun turned around and took out oiled paper and plastic wrap, "Eating something freshly made at home is good for your health."

"No need, auntie..." Zhong Rong didn't have time to refuse, Shui Yun took out the machine-wrapped sandwich and stuffed it into his arms.He looked at the sandwich in his hand, and then at Shui Yun's gentle expression that could not be rejected, he didn't know what expression to make.

At some point, Qian Shuichong also packed his portion of the meal and put it in a backpack, took the car keys, opened the door and turned to Zhong Rong and said, "Let's go."

Zhong Rong was holding the sandwich like a hot potato, hesitating for a moment but still failed to push the sandwich back to Shuiyun, and followed Qian Shuichong to leave the house.

The sandwich is still hot, and the outer layer is properly toasted to a golden brown, which looks very appetizing.Zhong Rong stared at it stupidly, his mind was so chaotic that he emptied himself for self-defense.When the elevator arrived at the underground parking lot, Qian Shuichong reminded him softly: "Why don't you leave?"

Zhong Rong was shocked, and walked forward: "Why don't I go by myself..."

"Don't you have something to tell me?" Qian Shuichong said lightly, raised his hand and pressed the car key, and walked towards a white car in the garage.He opened the driver's door and looked over, "Come here, let's chat in the car, there is no one else."

Zhong Rong froze for a moment, followed him quickly, sat down in the co-pilot, and did not put down the sandwich when he put on his seat belt.

Qian Shuichong lit the fire, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the sandwich Zhong Rong was holding carefully, and said casually, "Do you like sandwiches?"

Zhong Rong froze: "...It's okay."

"My mother also likes to do it, so it's easy." Qian Shuichong drove the car towards the exit, chatting casually, "You can support yourself."

Zhong Rong didn't answer, stared at the sandwich in his hand, and suddenly said in the car that had been quiet for a while: "...I'm sorry."

Qian Shuichong turned his eyes slower than his head: "Huh?"

"My attitude towards you yesterday," Zhong Rong turned his head to look at Qian Shuichong's profile, "I'm blaming you."

Qian Shuichong twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "Yes."

Zhong Rong didn't understand what his "um" meant, but he seemed to be forgiven. He felt relieved and was no longer so tense. Looking at the scenery outside the car, he gently closed his fingers and grabbed the sandwich: "You can tell you Mom doesn't care about me, I'm easy to support, don't worry about me."

"Guilty?" Qian Shuichong smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Zhong Rong, and continued, "My mother is like this, she can't ignore you, you are her half child now."

Zhong Rong felt uncomfortable: "It is impossible for me to regard Zhong Shuangen as my father, so Auntie..."

"Then you will treat me as my mother and see me as your half brother?" Qian Shuichong joked, "A good brother who sends children to school."

Zhong Rong glared at him dissatisfied: "Don't take advantage of me!"

Qian Shuichong laughed twice in a good mood, and said in a serious tone, "But you are not a child, you are very mature. Few people can apologize as straightforwardly as you."

Zhong Rong's ears were burning hot: "Don't take advantage of it and pretend to be good."

"I'm really boasting," Qian Shuichong drove out of the main road and looked at the navigation, "Is this the right way?"

Only then did Zhong Rong really observe the scenery outside the window seriously: "Yes. The navigation can't make mistakes, right?"

"No," Qian Shuichong said helplessly, "but you didn't tell me the destination."

Zhong Rong sat up abruptly: "Ah, I forgot. There is no branch in Liuleng Bar, so you can find it by just searching."

Qian Shuichong snapped his fingers: "Six Edges Bar?"

Zhong Rong nodded: "Is there a problem?"

"No," Qian Shuichong withdrew his fingers, "I know that place, so I don't need navigation."

Zhong Rong was a little surprised, Qian Shuichong didn't look like someone who would go to bars.But he didn't say anything, just leaned on the car seat and relaxed his body.
