"Happy cooperation, Mr. Zhang."

"Happy cooperation." Zhang Xian'an hung up the phone and turned to look at the three tall shadows behind him.

They stood silently in the crimson, cold and dead.

"Good afternoon, Night City! An urgent news flash will be broadcast below..."

Sophia was led by Bonnie and walked towards a Chinese restaurant on the street in the city center.

No sooner had she stepped across the threshold than she was drawn to the wall-mounted TV broadcasting the news.

"...Three unidentified thugs are committing crimes, right in the downtown street! A group of ten drug dealers, all of them were beaten to pieces! It seems that someone wants to come forward again, to do the crime of the night." The vigilante of the city!"

"Ha, how naive." Bonnie shook her head with a contemptuous tone, and led Sofia to choose a seat by the window.

"It's right in the city center...is there any danger?" Sophia was not as optimistic as Miss Qianjin next to her, she said worriedly, her eyes fixed on the TV news.

In that flashing blur, three guys in hoods and capes were firing at drug dealers.

Perhaps because the firepower was too fierce, those human bodies burst like huge punctured balloons between the lightning and the flint.

Blood and flesh splattered, as if they were about to pass through the screen and hit her face.

"Don't worry, this is the city center! Several corporate giants are ruthless masters, how can they let a few terrorists mess around under their feet? I think those thugs won't make trouble for long." Bang Ni shrugged, said disapprovingly, asked the waiter to order a mandarin duck hot pot.

"Okay..." Perhaps frightened by the bloody scene, Sophia's face turned pale.

"Oh, let's order first, and then think about other things when you're full! Be good!" Bonnie got up, sat next to Sophia, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

"Oh..." Sophia dragged her voice and responded dully.

"Hey, hey, see that handsome guy over there?" Bonnie whispered in Sophia's ear, shaking her vigorously back and forth.

"Stop shaking! Shaking makes me dizzy! Nympho girl..." Sophia felt that she had recovered a lot after being interrupted by Bonnie.

While struggling free from Bonnie's clutches, she curiously looked at the "handsome guy" that her best friend called.

"Hey, he reminds me of the church I went to with you when I was a child...the idol."

"Isn't it much better than your uncle?"

"Wipe your drool, someone else has a partner." Sophia supported her head and rolled her eyes at Bonnie who was looking at her phone.

"I have a big appetite..." Bonnie licked her lips, took a few plates of beef slices brought by the waiter, and put them into the pot with serving chopsticks.

"I heard a little girl talking about you, Yahweh." While teasing, Xita fished out a few pieces of hairy belly from the red soup bubbling with spicy oil, and put them in his own bowl.

"It means you have good eyesight." Yawei scooped winter melon from the white soup on the other side, and divided a few slices into the Xita bowl.

"Get me some soup to drink before adding water."

"So proficient? Have you ever eaten it before?" Yawei took the porcelain bowl she handed over, and asked with a chuckle.

"I bought a few Gourmet Mewtwo before, and there was a Chinese hot pot in it..." Xi Tan took a sip of the hot soup, and then said, "After watching it, just eat a few pieces of bread mixed with water, and the taste is not bad. "

"Remember bitterness and sweetness, the old days will never come back, I won't give you bread in the future..." Yawei rubbed the girl's head, and scooped another bowl for her, "I specially ordered some bread for you The ginkgo chicken soup base, drink more, it is good for your health."

"Yeah." Xita lowered her head, rubbed her hair, and agreed softly.

"Spicy ones or non-spicy ones?" Yawei asked her with fresh meat slices in his chopsticks.

"Half and half... I think you like to eat." She tidied up her emotions, brushed her loose hair to the side, revealing her rosy ears.

"Bonnie! Bonnie! Don't look, you've been in a daze for a long time." Sophia elbowed her best friend. From the very beginning, Bonnie has been staring at the interaction between the handsome guy and the silver-haired girl, the beef in the pot They are all cooked, and the chopsticks haven't been put down for a long time.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Bonnie came back to her senses and quickly scooped up the beef from the pot.

"What's wrong with you? Missy?" Sophia was a little worried about her best friend.Although Bonnie is a bit of a nympho, she has never been to this point.

Bonnie turned her head to look at her. Just as she was about to speak, a loud explosion broke in.

Sophia screamed subconsciously, pulling Bonnie to squat under the table together.

The shock wave mixed with the strong wind broke into this quiet restaurant. There were flying sawdust and people's panic calls everywhere, and the soup and food were scattered all over the place.

"Don't be nervous, ladies and gentlemen." A mechanical male voice stepped in from outside the restaurant. The voice was harsh and unpleasant, like 1000 yuan iron sheets rubbing against each other roughly.

"Now, you are our hostages, don't do stupid things."

The male voice came in completely, and Sophia pulled Bonnie to hide under the table, looking at the three armed thugs who were gradually approaching them through the reflection of the glass in horror.

"Do you need me to take action? Xita." Yawei asked softly, but their table was not affected.

Time seemed to stand still.

The shock wave and ear-piercing roar disappeared silently half a meter away from him, as if they had never existed.

Both the panicked crowd and the armed mob seemed to ignore them both.

"What's going on?" Xita asked vaguely while eating the last piece of beef.

"The data betrayed their five senses. In their eyes, our place transcends time and is independent of the whole world." Yawei said casually while eating beef balls.

"so smart?"

"This world should be like this." Yawei put down the bowl and chopsticks, and burped lightly.

"You are always beyond my imagination..."

"Do you want me to do it? Or do you do it yourself?" He asked softly, as relaxed as if wiping away dust with his hands.

"Don't worry, the girl who discussed you just now obviously has some connection with these three thugs, let's take a look..." Xi Tan wiped her mouth with a tissue, "If there is a problem, you will have time to fix it, right? "

"Remember mine now?" Yawei lifted up the chair and sat side by side with her.

"Kiss one?"

"two."

"Greedy..." She gently pinched her boyfriend's cheek, raised her head and moved closer, allowing him to get his wish.

Yawei snapped his fingers happily, and everything returned to normal.

The drama that was temporarily suspended on the stage started again, and the only audience sat in the audience, enjoying it quietly.
