Chapter 217 Transformation (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

The foggy calendar year 2050, spring.

Blacklight District, in a manor where wealthy people gather.

Celebrities gathered and had dinner in the manor, and the dinner was just a foreplay. The purpose of the wealthy people gathering here was to participate in the following auction, the township land auction.

Some towns were invaded by the Ruins, but the Ruins Secret Bureau did not deal with them in time, resulting in serious damage to the towns, heavy casualties, and near abandonment. This also resulted in a large amount of land being lost and abandoned, so it ended up living here and became a new auction item.

In the center of the party, many celebrities gathered around Liu Jichuan to chat and toast to the director of the Secret Bureau of the Market.

"Thanks to Director Liu, our Xipu community was invaded by Xu before. Fortunately, Director Liu sent someone to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

"We are lucky to have Bureau Liu in charge of our Black Light District."

"Liu Bureau, I heard that you like Xilan Town. Unfortunately, something happened there not long ago and it is now abandoned. Xilan Town happens to be at the auction today. I will take a photo of it and give it to Liu Bureau later. It's a little thought."

"Liu Bureau..."

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic greetings, Liu Jichuan responded to everyone's laughter and took good care of them. He also politely declined the wealthy man who wanted to give him a small gift.

While he raised his head to drink, his eyes looked to the west from time to time.

Unlike the party center next to him, no one was paying attention there, but there were two figures standing there.

"Elena."

Xu Shen looked at the girl in front of him and saw her pure eyes filled with youth and enthusiasm. Xu Shen felt a little dazzling, as if those lake-like eyes could reflect something he didn't want to see.

Such a look reminded Xu Shen of Nan Ning.

But the difference with Nan Ning's eyes is that Nan Ning's eyes are not only innocent, but also have perseverance, persistence and faith. Nan Ning's eyes are not spotless, but are just covered up by the persistent eyes.

But the Elena in front of her is a truly wealthy daughter, beautiful and innocent.

"I heard from Dad that you will come today." Elena's cheeks were slightly red, and her little hands were behind her turquoise dress. This dress was carefully selected by her when she went out today. It was hand-sewn by a well-known tailor in the Black Light District.

It was valuable and fit extremely well, making her silky figure even more elegant and beautiful.

"I specially...prepared a small gift for Brother Xu." The girl was a little shy and blushed. She slowly and carefully took out the small gift from behind and handed it to Xu Shen.

She didn't dare to look at Xu Shen, but Xu Shen could see the hope and nervousness on her face.

Xu Shen was slightly silent.

"Don't you open it and take a look?"

Maeve's voice floated from the side, with an interested expression on her face.

Xu Shen's eyes regained focus and he took the small gift box and opened it. There were two small things inside. One was a small bottle of perfume with exquisite packaging, and the other was a button.

Xu Shen was a little surprised. Perfume was a common social gift for celebrities, and he could understand it, but the buttons... didn't seem to be pure gold, and they looked familiar.

Elena peeked out of the corner of her eye to see Xu Shen opening the gift. Seeing Xu Shen's surprised expression, her eyes were a little more joyful, and she felt as if she had given Xu Shen a surprise.

"This button... slipped off your sleeve when you helped me block those things last time." Elena's voice was like a mosquito, getting softer and softer as she spoke, and her cheeks became redder and redder.

She picked up the button that had fallen off, so she carefully collected it and gave it back to Xu Shen again.

Feeling the girl's affection, Xu Shen became more and more silent, and after a while he whispered: "Thank you."

"Do you like this perfume?" Elena seemed a little less nervous after hearing Xu Shen's thanks, and raised her head and asked curiously.

Xu Shen took a look, shook his head slightly and said, "We Ruin Slayers cannot use perfume, otherwise it will leave a special smell and be tracked by Ruins, which will also reveal our position."

Elena was stunned, and she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, and she was a little ashamed: "Sorry, I didn't know you couldn't use it, I thought..."

"But I like it very much." Xu Shen looked at the girl's self-blame and said with a smile.

Elena was startled and looked up at Xu Shen in surprise.

"I will put it away. Although it cannot be used, the bottle is very delicate. I like delicate things." Xu Shen said.

Is it because she likes the bottle rather than the perfume? Elena was stunned and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She is indeed a very strange and interesting person.

And this is the main reason why Xu Shen attracts her.

"As long as you like it."

"Well, thank you."

Xu Shen put away the perfume and buttons, and then fell silent for a moment. The smile on his face faded slightly. After a few seconds, he gathered his words and said, "Elena, this may be the last time we meet."

"Huh?" Elena was startled, her face turned slightly pale, and she looked at Xu Shen nervously: "Are you going to perform a very dangerous mission?"

Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "I know what you mean, but I don't think I can delay you. You also know that people like us will be in danger and die at any time. You should find a normal person."

Elena was stunned, her face turned bloodless, and her body seemed to be trembling and swaying.

Such straightforward words were like sharp arrows piercing her heart.

She was stunned for a moment, then she slowly came to her senses and smiled reluctantly: "Brother Xu, have you misunderstood? I actually... I actually didn't mean that."

"That's fine." Xu Shen looked relieved and said, "I misunderstood, I'm sorry."

Seeing Xu Shen's behavior like this, Elena felt like she was being stabbed again. She bit her lip and said, "Even if they are just ordinary friends, wouldn't it be okay?"

Xu Shen shook his head and said: "It will hurt you. I have many enemies."

Elena said in confusion: "Brother Xu is so humble, why do you have enemies? Aren't you killing monsters?"

"Sometimes it's not that I have enemies because I have offended him, but I am in such a position, so I naturally have enemies." Xu Shen sighed.

Elena asked: "Is it someone who is jealous of you?"

"It may not be jealousy, it may be that I feel that I am hindering others." Xu Shen said.

Elena seemed to understand. She clenched her fingers and seemed to muster up the courage to say: "I'm not afraid. If someone hurts you, I will go to Uncle Liu to make the decision for you."

Xu Shen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Sorry, Elena, I hope this is the last time we meet. Please pay attention to your own safety."

With that said, he turned and left.

Elena was stunned, her face suddenly became bloodless and pale. She watched Xu Shen walk into the group, his figure was obscured, she bit her lip slightly, turned around, tears burst from her eyes.

, big tears kept rolling down.

She was sobbing uncontrollably on her shoulders, but she crossed her hands to suppress her shoulders, just holding back the sobs and letting her neck arch slightly.

"He didn't agree?"

Next to him, a gentle voice came.

Elena's body trembled and her tears immediately stopped. When she saw her father standing next to her, the tears that had just stopped burst out again and she fell into his arms.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. You are indeed not from the same world. It's too dangerous to stay with him..." The father stroked his daughter's hair and comforted softly. His eyes looked towards the party hall, but his eyes focused on the brightest place.

of a place.

…

…

"Excuse me, excuse me."

In the middle of the party, Liu Jichuan's eyes flashed, and when he saw the figure leaving the crowd, he glanced at another place, and his eyes smiled in response to the wealthy people, and suddenly became a little darker.

He got rid of the rich man around him and asked Li Meina to continue to accompany him. He casually put the wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter, and then straightened his clothes.

He headed towards the bathroom.

It happened that other wealthy people came to the bathroom. When they saw Liu Jichuan, they immediately smiled and said: "Liu Bureau, I leave it to you to discuss the matter I talked to you about last time. I will visit you personally tomorrow."

Liu Jichuan waved his hand and seemed a little tipsy: "Tonight is a party. We won't talk about business or anything."

The rich man understood and could only laugh and said: "Okay, let's not talk about business. Director Liu must have drank a lot tonight. These guys are too unruly."

Liu Jichuan smiled, unbuttoned his crotch, and said, "Come and let it go, let's get rid of it!"

"Oh." The rich man glanced at Liu Jichuan and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, Liu Ju."

Liu Jichuan smiled. As the drinking session ended, the drunkenness on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot, his eyes became much clearer, and he returned to the party with the rich man.

At the same time, a dark shadow passed through the wall in the bathroom, left quickly, and walked in the manor, like a nimble wild cat in the dark night.

She was slender, hiding in the dark, waiting quietly next to a car.

As time passed, the party entered the auction stage.

At this time, many wealthy family members were arranged to return first.

Many celebrities came out one after another and got into the car, and among them, a father and daughter also walked out.

"Dad, aren't you going to accompany Uncle Liu to the party below?" Elena walked a few steps, raised her head and asked. At this moment, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but she no longer shed tears.

"Your father has no money, so it's useless to look at it. Let's go back and rest early." The father said with a smile.

Elena guessed that her father wanted to accompany her, and she felt even more sad. She nodded silently and followed her father into the car.

The vehicle started and drove towards home.

Her father was driving, and Elena was sitting in the back seat, leaning her head on one side of the car window, looking at the neon lights and the receding street scene, and tears slowly came out again.

But the glass against which her forehead was resting reflected a graceful figure sitting lazily next to her on the seat next to her, looking at her with interest.

However, at this moment, her mind was immersed in sadness, and Elena did not see it.

The father in the front row was concerned about his daughter. The rearview mirror only looked in the direction of his daughter. It was blocked by the seat in the front row and he could only see half of his daughter's body.

The father sighed secretly and said nothing, knowing that this kind of thing could only let his daughter get over her sadness.

The vehicle drove along and slowly arrived in front of their manor.

The father and daughter got out of the car and walked towards the manor.
