Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

The pale sunlight penetrated the city's fog and fell on his skin without any warmth, giving Zhuang Xuteng the illusion that he was under the light. He had been sleeping upside down before, and he had spent all his energy in memorizing the "Bone Searching Technique" in the Seventy-Two Stone Pillars Hall, which made him feel a little dazed. I thought it would warm me up under the sun, but I couldn't find any warmth.

"The weather is really weird." Zhuang Xuteng yawned. He was in front of Morgana's house, parking the car and waiting for her to come out. Fifteen minutes ago, a servant went to report it, but Morgana never showed up, and she didn't know how big her house was. Of course, there is also a possibility that Morgana has not finished dressing up yet, and no one can predict how long it will take. Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and felt that it would be better not to call and urge her.

The surveillance camera turned around again and deliberately stayed on him for a few more seconds. Zhuang Xuteng had discovered this a long time ago. He knew that there must be someone watching on the other side of the camera, most likely Morgana's family. What's there to see? If one could tell whether a person is good or bad through a camera, then society would not be complicated and people's hearts would not be unpredictable. Zhuang Xuteng waved to the camera, smiled, and then continued to stand leaning on the car door.

"How can such a person make me feel at ease when he looks crooked and never stands up straight?"

In the monitoring room, someone was expressing dissatisfaction with Zhuang Xuteng, and Morgana was also expressing her dissatisfaction behind them: "How long do you want to watch? Why don't I let him take a photo, enlarge it and hang it in our living room? Or I want someone to make a 1:1 full-body statue of him? What pose do you like?"

"Anyway, I don't think this person is very good."

Morgana sighed and said: "Okay, Mom, I'm not asking you to choose a stepfather for me here! You don't need to feel good about him. If you feel that way, it means there is something wrong with your mind. Dad , you take care of your wife, I have to leave. It starts at two o'clock, and you asked me to give a speech at two twenty. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

"Go, go! Anyway..."

"There's not that much to sum up!" Morgana rolled her eyes at her parents and said as she walked out: "You can't sum it up after just looking at it for a while? How can it be so simple to 'sum up'?"

Outside the door, Zhuang Xuteng only knew that he was being observed and had no way of knowing that he was being summarized. Looking down at the time on his watch and mentally planning the route to the venue, he decided that if he didn't come out for another five minutes, he would have to make a call. While he was thinking this, a familiar figure appeared on the edge of his vision, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

Morgana wore a black dress today, which was made of velvet, silk and some kind of black gauze. From her side ribs along her waist and thighs down to the corners of her skirt, there is a pair of white lines that follow the curves of the body. They match the white light decoration on Morgana's chest, imitating the old holy emblem of the Holy Light Church. Feel.

Although he didn't know much about fashion design, and all the knowledge he learned came from listening to his sister's nagging, Zhuang Xuteng could also see that the design language of Morgana's outfit was called: Dawn breaks through the darkness. Everything is small in front of the dawn, so she did not wear any other additional accessories except a pair of white star stone earrings, keeping the overall look very simple and clean. However, Morgana trotted over holding up her skirt along the way. This action would hurt her image. But when he thought that she was doing this to see Zhuang Xuteng earlier, Zhuang Xuteng had no other thoughts besides being happy.

"Slow down, there's still time." Zhuang Xuteng opened the car door and opened his arms to greet her, as if he was afraid that Morgana would fall and was always ready to help her.

"Don't come here, they are watching!" Morgana said in a low voice, slowed down slightly and passed directly by Zhuang Xuteng. At the same time, she said secretly: "You look very handsome today."

"I think so too." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and helped Morgana get into the car, lifting the hem of her skirt to avoid being crushed by the door. "Hey, I should drive the white beast. That car is tall, and it's easy to get in and out of the car while wearing a skirt."

"Are you laughing at me? I rarely wear skirts and I'm not good at getting in and out of cars like this. What's wrong? Come on, sit behind the wheel. How long do we have until we get to the venue?"

"You can't miss it, I've already planned the route." Zhuang Xuteng then stopped talking nonsense, went around to the other side, got in the car, and took the beauty to the venue.

After getting on the bus, Morgana immediately took out a roll of paper from her small bag, unfolded it and said to Zhuang Xuteng while facing the densely packed small words: "Our mission today is this: after we get there, find a seat and sit down, and keep smiling the whole time. Or it can be serious, to avoid being overjoyed or sad or showing obvious disgust and impatience. The opening ceremony will be at two o'clock, from 2:20 to 2:30, I will go up and give a speech..."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and asked, "What theme are you going to use?"

"Although the gods have left, the virtues left by the gods still need to be maintained and carried forward - I have more than 40 sets of this type of speeches, and I have to memorize them since I was a child."

"I didn't expect you to have such skills."

"When I was a child, this was the show I would perform when I was caught out by my elders. Later... I should say that in the past ten years, I have never given such a speech. It was my parents or other people in the family. Today is a special situation. You have to let me go. In order to avoid any trouble, I have no choice but to agree."

"Is it because I'm coming?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"You are part of the reason...well, you are basically the whole reason." Morgana smiled and patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "You are my boyfriend and weakness, so they can blackmail me... Actually, you don’t have to think that you are special. No matter who I introduce back, they will always be like this!"

"Tch! If you want to go to my house, you won't be treated like this. My parents will like you very much and hold you in their hands."

"They won't blackmail you into doing this or that? I don't believe it!" Morgana waved her hands with a smile and said, "They will definitely say: Such a good girl, hurry up and go..."

"What are you going to do?" Zhuang Xuteng asked with a smile.

"I don't know. After all, you didn't take me to see him." Morgana pointed at Zhuang Xuteng with her index finger, and Zhuang Xuteng also pointed at her with his index finger. Both of them understood what the other was thinking, but they just made a tacit agreement not to reveal it.

"I will take you there. Are you okay tomorrow?" Zhuang Xuteng finally got his wish and saw Morgana's shocked expression, and then saw her slowly nodding. "Then it's settled, I'll take you to see it tomorrow. I won't even tell them in advance to give them a scare and let you see what my home looks like normally."

"Huh... why are you telling me this now?" Morgana shook the paper in her hand vigorously and said, "I haven't spoken in public for a long time. I was already quite nervous, but now I am even more nervous!"

"I'll raise the difficulty level for you, otherwise it will be boring?" Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile, "What about after the speech? What other plans do we have?"

"Sitting there participating in the auction, symbolically shooting a cheap thing, you must not buy something from your own home - these are my notes." Morgana didn't lie, she was really a little too nervous, she even said in the note out. "After the auction, I'm going to go up on stage and take a photo with a model check with today's approximate amount written on it, and then it's dance and tea time."

Zhuang Xuteng said: "I can't dance, but I can definitely avoid stepping on your feet, so I really want to invite you to dance."

"We can just hide in the corner and watch them play. There is no need to go out to dance. And the rules of the dance are that if I dance with you, others can come and invite me. As long as I keep sitting, I can keep refusing, which is considered No one is allowed to offend." Morgana paused for a moment and then said: "Although I can dance, I was forced to learn it. I don't like that sport-leaving the control of dance steps in the hands of male partners and Not my style."

"I'll dance if you want. If you want to take a break, I'll take a break with you." Zhuang Xuteng said while driving: "You just said that the dance can double as an afternoon tea party? In other words, do we have something to eat?"

"Yes, there will be some snacks. Generally speaking, the dinner is just a formality. If you don't feel full, you can add some sugar with dessert in the afternoon, so that you can last until late at night."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "Why aren't you full for dinner?"

"Uh... maybe you don't want everyone to eat too much and have to adjust their belts, or make the bellies of the beauties bulge, right?" Morgana waved her hand and said, "Don't ask these weird questions! Let's talk about it first The schedule! The dinner also requires speeches and drinks. This is easy to do, just stand up and say a word with a glass of wine. I stand alone, you sit down and just look at me. "

"This is an easy job. What happens next?"

"Probably just find a place where they won't be disturbed and continue to watch them greeting and talking to each other until 11 o'clock in the evening, then we can withdraw."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "Listening to it this way, I don't think it is difficult at all. I saw that you were very opposed to this activity, and I thought there would be some troublesome things..."

"Well, I mainly don't want to get along with them... Our family is inherited from the church, so when others chat with us, they will always choose topics such as gods and magic. It can not only show that they have extensive knowledge, but also set off our mere You know this." Morgana snorted. It was obvious that she had been suppressing some words in her heart for a long time and finally got the chance to say them out. "I have done research, so I know there are many errors in their statements. If you point it out, it will definitely lead to more topics, which will be very annoying; if you don't point it out, it will make them feel complacent. I hate being around people like that. Together!"

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the end of the road and said, "The last turn is coming soon. Are you making any final preparations?"

Morgana was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out the mirror to check it one last time, then scanned the "work plan" as quickly as possible, and silently recited 'you'll be fine' three times in her mind. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng had already driven to the door, and the staff came up to him and politely asked him for the invitation letter.

Since they were serious participants this time, they were not mercenaries trying to sneak in by disguising their identities - all the procedures were genuine and complete, so there was no room for them to use their personal abilities. What Zhuang Xuteng can do is to squint his eyes to observe others, and then imitate their appearance to take care of Morgana. This involves getting out of the car and quickly walking around to Morgana's side, standing in the right direction, holding out your arm for her to grab, while smiling the whole time.

Keep smiling... Zhuang Xuteng is very glad that he has practiced this skill specifically. Because of his careful observation, exquisite imitation, complete control of his expression and body movements, and his inconspicuous appearance, he did not attract the attention of other participants.

This is nice, being inconspicuous saves a lot of surprises. Zhuang Xuteng accompanied Morgana quietly and calmly. Even though he was the man holding Morgana's hand, Morgana was actually the one directing the direction. With just a slight sway, Zhuang Xuteng, who is sensitive to touch, can immediately understand where to go, as if his feet are controlled by Morgana.

You can't dance yet? Just looking at their footsteps, the synchronization level of the two people is no different from that of tacit dance partners who have been together for many years.

Before the auction, Morgana had to say hello to some prominent figures and drag Zhuang Xuteng there. Fortunately, Zhuang Xuteng had no intention of "getting into the upper class circles". He didn't introduce himself at all. His whole state was more of a bodyguard than a bodyguard, and more of a shadow than a shadow. Morgana also didn't like this situation where she was still chatting warmly despite being unfamiliar with each other. She would omit it if possible, and the shorter the time, the better.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and completed the "guiding task" quickly, quickly finding their seats and sitting down. As soon as he sat down, Zhuang Xuteng scanned the surroundings with the attitude of a mercenary, where there were shadows, where he could sneak through, where there were blind spots for surveillance, and where they could be used as emergency escape passages... He looked through them with his eyes and calculated them carefully. Even though I did it many times, I never felt bored or bored.

Many people came to attend before and after them. Since this was the first large-scale gathering after the PCPD was bombed, and it was in the name of charity and easy to access, there were more people attending the auction than in previous years. The purpose of everyone coming here is not all for charity or auction, but as long as there are enough people, the amount that can be raised can be increased, and the organizers are happy to see such a scene.

When there are too many people, there will inevitably be a mixture of good and bad; if we want to talk about business, we will have no extra energy to take care of other chores. Not everyone is like Zhuang Xuteng, who sits steadily and wanders in the world; not everyone is like Morgana, who focuses on personal tasks and does not provoke others. There are always people who want to go their own way at this time and place. After all, some people can do nothing but go their own way.

In fact, it was okay at first. The two of them were quite low-key, hiding in the crowd and inconspicuous. After Morgana took the stage to give a speech and appeared in front of everyone, more and more people paid attention to her.

Even Zhuang Xuteng, who was following her, couldn't keep a low profile...
