After negotiating with Guo Hao not to renew the contract, Bai Yang's vacation time was extended.Seeing that Bai Yang really wanted to terminate the contract, Mr. Yan, the manager of Taihuan's brokerage department, called him twice in one day, trying to negotiate with him privately on the contract issue, and raised his offer in the second call. The level of the contract was upgraded from the original C category to B category, but it still failed to impress him. So far, Bai Yang's termination of the contract has become a certainty.

The news quickly spread in a small area of ​​the industry.In the following time, Bai Yang received emails from other companies and independent brokers almost every day, hoping to talk to him about the new working environment and his partner. Regarding this, Bai Yang politely said Declined in reply.

Before his personal studio officially starts, he has a long rest of at least ten days.The news released by Guo Hao is that he has gone on a trip. In fact, he has no plans to go out, at least he has no plans to leave the neighborhood of his own community.

He spent most of the day in the snack bar, wearing a mask and an apron, and gradually became comfortable among more and more aliens who came to buy spiritual food, and in just a few days, he summed up his own set of observations Distinguish their little experiences.

What surprised the residents living in this old-fashioned community during this period was the booming business of 'Ou Ou Snack Bar'.In the eyes of those old neighbors, most of the people who came to this place to line up to buy food were babysitters hired by Mr. Zhao, and there were not a few people who taunted the long queue in private.From their point of view, even if they are looking for childcare, they can only find a day or two to create momentum, but they don't know that this snack bar has been open for five days in a row. No matter what time of the day passes, there is always a long queue. This week was obviously much more lively than before.

There were also neighbors who tried to line up to join in the fun to see if the food sold by this store was really delicious. After learning that three buns cost 100 yuan and a small skewer cost 20 yuan, these people were dumbfounded, and most of them were surprised. Think the owner of this store is 'crazy'.In their view, the steamed stuffed buns in this store are ordinary, and there is nothing unique about the skewers.Passing by this store, most of the time you can't smell the aroma of food at all, and I don't know how the boss has the confidence to set such a high price.There are also very curious people who grit their teeth and spend money to buy this kind of expensive food. After tasting it, there are only two words - unpalatable.

It has only been less than a week since the store opened, and "unpalatable and expensive" has become the established impression of the store by ordinary residents in the surrounding area.However, what puzzled them was that no matter how unpalatable it was in the mouths of the surrounding people, the number of diners who come here every day is not only a lot, but is constantly increasing. Luxury cars line up here.

This kind of strange thing has become a hot gossip in their area. Those who "understand" will naturally not say much about it, and they will not even discuss it with the people around them. "I don't understand" can only vent a few words with curiosity about this store and a little jealous prejudice.

One of the reasons why Bai Yang likes to spend time here is that he has a strong curiosity about them, and the other reason is that he can hear a lot of news intentionally or unconsciously here.

The variants who come here to consume will chat while waiting in line or sitting and eating in the store.Among them, the most talked about is current affairs, that is, various news from their alien world.

"Have you heard that the Northeast has been in chaos recently?" I don't know who started it, and the originally quiet shop suddenly became lively

Come.

"You just know, it's been chaotic for several days. Some of my relatives who do business there called and said that it was their 'management committee' that issued a safety notice to the residents with 'hidden disputes' in their jurisdiction. The yellow warning notice requires ordinary people who have no background or faction and have not taken refuge in any family not to rescue the disabled at will in the near future, and to avoid in time when they meet someone with identity, and they are resolutely not allowed to approach the area where the fighting happened..."

When Bai Yang, who was collecting money, heard this, he quietly turned his head and glanced at them who were talking.

"Northeast is the jurisdiction of the Ma family. Do you think the Ma family will be like the Nie family?" These guys are not shy about these issues, and they are all discussing them carelessly.

"Since the Nie family was suddenly exterminated by the Bai, Ma, and Ding families, the original balance of power has been broken. Once the Nie family fell, the Ding family retreated to the south inexplicably, leaving the Bai family and the Ma family to divide the capital around Longcheng. At that time, I guessed that sooner or later one of these two families would follow in the footsteps of the Nie family."

"He Bai Xiuze wants to be the only one who respects me?"

"Who of us would have thought of the current situation three months ago? You still can't see Bai Xiuze's ambition?"

The people in the store talked about the past of the Bai family and some personal affairs of Bai Xiuze along this topic, and they insisted on involving the turmoil in the Northeast with Bai Xiuze.

Seeing that this group of common people with different identities made a mistake about the development of the situation and the parties involved, a middle-aged man who was sitting in the corner drinking porridge in silence suddenly corrected him: "Your information has not been found at all. It is not Bai Xiuze who started the war with the Ma family." , but 'MC

', but there are also handwritings of the group of practitioners on the mountain. "

After hearing this new statement, the other people present all looked him up and down, saw that he had an undisguised nobleness, and realized that there was a real way to find out the news, so they humbly asked him for an explanation.

Bai Yang also took another look at that person.He knew this middle-aged man, and he would stay for half a day every time he came, and he would leave after eating the skewers at noon, and he would always sit in the same seat every time he came.

Seeing that the middle-aged man had attracted the attention of his peers inside and outside the house, he didn't put on airs but directly said what he knew: "This time, the Ma family first broke up with the defenders, and the 'management committee' didn't intervene at first. Later, those who were appointed to the "Management Committee" of the Ma family used their power for personal gain to forcibly mobilize the resources of the "Management Committee" in their hands as the vanguard of the Ma family against the defenders. The leader of the defenders submitted to the "Management Committee" "The high-level officials revealed the evidence of Ma's private cooperation with them. The current situation is that the 'Management Committee' has assembled most of the power in the north, cut off all passages leading to the northeast, and trapped the Ma family in the northeast, city by city. At the same time, the Ma family is still resisting the sneak attack of the defenders. Ma Tianhou is now isolated and helpless, and he may not last a week."

"Why did those guys on the mountain with the banner of killing demons and demons appear again? I remember that the last time I heard about them was 40 years ago..." Compared with the current situation of the Ma family, these ordinary people are more concerned about the situation. Instead, they are defenders.

Whether it was the destruction of the Nie family or the massacre of the Ma family, it didn't matter much to the common people.It is fine for those in power to change, and the people should live their lives as usual.Even if the 'management committee' is destroyed, it's the same for them, it's just another person who makes rules for them.In contrast, the 'enemies' mentioned in history books and word transmission by defenders of Taoism are more mysterious and attractive.

Now younger people of the same kind seldom hear the news of the Daoist, only the slightly older ones still remember it.

An elderly person present mentioned the chaos of those years 40 years ago: "At that time, both human beings and our variants followed the country and struggled out of the turbulent years of chaos and closure. For a time, the social order on both sides It was all messy. At that time, not only the crime rate of humans was high, but also the crime rate in our side. Many people and mutants swindled and cheated in the name of gods and ghosts, murdered their money, and the boundary between mutants and human beings became blurred for a time. , Our existence was almost exposed several times. It was at that time that the Taoists became active again. I remember that there were Taoist priests, nuns, and fortune-tellers walking around the streets and alleys in remote villages and towns, spreading some myths. The theory of ghosts made people panic and amass money, but also attracted and developed some believers. Later, the human government organized a lot of learning activities to "strike and eliminate feudal superstitions" and "promote scientific values" to curb the development momentum of those defenders. Yes, at the same time our side's "management committee" system began to be implemented, and the peace and harmony of each other's worlds were maintained through the joint efforts of both parties. The defenders kept saying "eliminating demons and defending the way", thinking that we are species that should not exist in this world , should be wiped out, but in fact, judging from our development history, human beings are a species that was born later than us. On the one hand, they painstakingly study and practice the skills leaked from us, on the other hand, they deny us and exterminate us , and always look at our progress and development with prejudice. Isn’t this another kind of moral ‘obsession’?”

Bai Yang listened thoughtfully.It's like a big set problem.There is a group of variants that are different from their life forms in the large collective of human beings, and after many years in the encirclement of the variants, defenders have evolved to try to eliminate these different life forms.In the end who should live in this world and who is not qualified to live in this world, everyone can tell a long story from their own perspectives.If he were to judge, it would be good for each to manage themselves well without hindering each other's interests.

It's just that this world, in the final analysis, is still a world of conflicting interests.

Lei Xiang opened the door of the store and walked in from the outside. His breath-taking breath ended the conversation of the group of diners in the store.

Bai Yang's nose moved, and there was a strong smell of blood.He quickly glanced at Lei Xiang, who nodded to him, and walked straight to the back kitchen.

Bai Yang hurriedly handed over the work to the second master temporarily, and followed Lei Xiang into the back kitchen.

"Why are you back?" He asked in a low voice after closing the back kitchen door.

There was chaos in the Northeast, and as a member of the northern branch of the 'Management Committee', he had been prepared in his heart to be transferred since he sent the prisoner he captured to the 'Management Committee'.Sure enough, not long after, he and his two men were urgently transferred to the northeast.Of course, he took Qin Long away and naturally stayed.The high-level executives who made great efforts to transfer Qin Long and Lei Xiang from the headquarters were naturally unwilling to give them any chance to be promoted.

"It was returned." Lei Xiang touched the meat bones that were simmering on the stove, picked up two pieces, found a stool, sat down and gnawed silently.He was very open-minded, "After we have done what we should do for the most dangerous mission, those who want to receive credit will naturally withdraw us."

Bai Yang stared blankly at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

Lei Xiang looked up at him, and smiled slyly: "You don't have to look like this, so far everything is within the expectations of the chief director and Mr. Ke, don't worry."
