Chapter 487 [Thunderbolt]

Coming to Zero City again, Chen Xiaoliang sat on the beach of the Love Sea, artificial beaches and artificial waves made the whole love sea look exotic.

This time in Zero City, Chen Xiaolian can clearly feel more people on the beach of Love Sea than before.

With Chen Xiaolei, a young man with a knife and mountain flame, he looked steady and smiled insignificantly - from between the eyebrows, Chen Xiaolei always felt that this guy was somewhat like the black suit next to Joey Peak.

This young man called himself Guanshan. He was very polite to Chen Xiaolian. He was almost respectful. Chen Xiaolian started to have some doubts, but then he thought about it, and he just -- he wanted to come to this young man called Guanshan, and he saw the blood refining.

A few hours ago, Chen Xiaoli was found at the gate of Guanshan and returned to Zero City with Chen Xiaoli.

To surprise Chen Xiaoliang, this time, instead of inviting Chen Xiaoliang directly to the main camp beehive of the Blade Mountain Fire Sea, he chose to meet in the Love Sea.

People were everywhere on the beach, and if they weren't in Zero City, Chen Xiaocai would really mistakenly think he was in a tropical tourist country in Southeast Asia, or in places like Miami or South America.

“Since yesterday, it's the opening day of Zero City.” Guanshan saw Chen Xiaocai's confusion and offered the answer.

Chen Xiaocai gazed for a moment.

Open Day?

He couldn't bear to smile.

On the last opening day of Zero City, he came himself and was involved in the Tokyo replica by mistake.

And on this open day, no one on the team cared about the Awakener Circle. I think it was because Jojo's unexpected sacrifice and morale were depressing in the copy that just ended, so nobody cared about the big events in this circle.

“Open day…” Chen Xiaolian looked at the beach and looked at the street behind him. He did find that the number of patrols of the Sentinel's armor was slightly higher than he ever looked.

Chen Xiaocai sat under a sun umbrella with a glass of chilled beverage. He didn't know what it was, it tasted rich in fruit and sour and sweet.

Chen Xiaolian, who looks nothing like the other awakeners on the beach at this moment, is wearing a Hawaiian flower shirt, beach shoes and shorts.

And before entering the Zero City this time, Guanshan gave him a prop, a B grade modifier: a pair of glasses that looked plain.

After that, the wearer's appearance can be modified by about 20 percent, including appearance, hair, and even body size.

At this moment, Chen Xiaolian looks like an ordinary Asian yellow, but his hair is slightly curly and his body is much stronger.

The explanation given by Guanshan for this change of appearance is that if you don't want to go into Zero City and be surrounded, you better put him on.

Chen Xiaocao understands: because of the blood refining, he is already famous in Zero City.

Sitting on the beach for about 20 minutes, Guanshan is a very knowledgeable guy, he doesn't talk a lot, but quietly accompanies Chen Xiaolian. Chen Xiaolei watched the flow of people on the beach in silence, watched the awakeners from all over the world, men and women, play here.

In Zero City, an absolutely safe place, there is no need to consider the crisis in the copy, and the permanent team in Zero City is absolutely forbidden to fight in Zero City, and any violation will be severely punished.

So these awakeners, there are rare moments of relaxation to let go of vigilance, and the whole beach looks lively.

Chen Xiaolei stared at all of this silently, but he was thinking about his problem: Blue Sea finds its purpose!

And the answer, it seems, is very simple.

Just as Chen Xiaoliang was stunned, Guanshan stood suddenly around him.

Chen Xiaoliang looked back and saw a strange middle-aged man who did not know when to go behind him.

Although the appearance of this middle-aged man looked strange, Chen Xiaoliang immediately saw each other's nose beam with a pair of glasses of his own style. He also saw Guan Shan's divine colour was very respectful, and his heart moved: “Blue Sea? ”

Long time no see. ”Blue Sea's voice was not disguised, and Chen Xiaoliang recognized his voice.

Chen Xiaolian stood up and shook his hand at the Blue Sea, and the two simply sat on the beach chair.

Guanshan immediately retreated a few steps in a very eye-catching fashion, a few meters away.

This place in the Blue Sea is "not too far from the beach, not too close to the beach, where visitors can be seen, but no one will come running to disturb them.

“How do you feel?” The Blue Sea also looked at the crowd and the tone seemed to be chilling.

“Everyone seems happy.” Chen Xiaocai sighed.

“Yes,” said the Blue Sea sincerely: "In this circle, the life of every awakener is heavy and almost every moment is under mental stress, struggling, testing, desperate. And every time Zero City opens, it provides you with an absolutely safe haven, and these open days are the festivals of the awakeners of the world.

Entrance to the Zero City Open Day has always been very difficult, not only because of the good things that can be traded here, but also for a large part because this is a truly safe resort for awakeners. ”

Chen Xiaocai silent for a moment, he sipped a drink and turned his head towards the Blue Sea: “Why did you ask me to meet here instead of the hive? ”

'Cause I need to be careful. ”Blue Sea's tone is very frank, but he looks directly into Chen Xiaocai's eyes:“ I'm talking to you to figure out one thing, and I don't want anyone to know that we've met until I know what the impact will be. ”

Chen Xiaolei eyebrow raised: “You mean... Joey Peak? ”

“Yes, Joey Peak. ”

Now that both sides have made it clear that the horse knife is straight in, the Blue Sea doesn't seem to want to go in circles either: "I've found some anomalies. ”

“Mmm.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

“Joey Peak is one of the founders of the team and I have always been very attentive to his protection. So as soon as someone around him or something goes wrong, it's in my hands. ”

Chen Xiaocai still nodded lightly.

“Well, now I guess there's no need to go in circles.” Blue Sea hesitated for a moment: "Jojo, what happened? ”

“You found out?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned.

“Yes.” Blue Sea nodded: “Found out. ”

Chen Xiaocao was silent.

“Chen Xiaolian.” The Blue Sea changed a more patient tone, slowing down: “I want you to understand one thing before this conversation goes on. ”

“What?”

“Our relationship should be very intimate.” The Blue Sea slows down: “You helped us through the hard work of blood refining, which is almost a test of life and death, and you helped us, which is a great grace. And that's your relationship with Skyknife. You helped us get the knife back... even though he's still gone.

But at least on these things, I, and the whole mountain of knives and seas, owe you a lot.

We should have a very close relationship.

I hope you understand that, in our conversation, you can reduce some concerns. ”

Chen Xiaocao looked up at the Blue Sea.

“This conversation today, for the time being, only exists between you and me.” The Blue Sea faded away: “I even came to see you, no one knows except Guan Shan. And about Jojo's change... the people who know now, in the blade mountains and seas, are not more than three. I handled it very well. ”

“You're very cautious.” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly.

“When something strange happens, it's best to figure out what's going on with it, not to start with a big banner. This is my years of experience doing people's work. ”

“It's a good habit.” Chen Xiaolian couldn't bear to praise.

Blue Sea smiled and his eyes were gentle: “So, can we talk frankly now? ”

“...” Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the Blue Sea: “What do you think happened to Jojo? ”

“I think Jojo, she's not supposed to be in the world anymore.” The Blue Sea considered the tone and language.

Chen Xiaoliang's eyes moved!

He acutely captured that the Blue Sea did not use the word "death”. Instead, it uses the term "not in this world”.

And there is no doubt that the latter is more accurately and deliberately described in the case of Jojo than the former.

“Just in the last copy, the one we just joined.” Chen Xiaolian whispered: “Jojo died. ”

eyebrows raised in the blue sea.

Although this answer has already been guessed, I really heard from Chen Xiaoliang's mouth that the Blue Sea still has some fluctuations in its heart.

He frowned and looked at Chen Xiaocai: “With all due respect... you don't seem as sad as I thought. ”

Chen Xiaoliang took a somewhat irritated deep breath: “… I don't want to answer this question. ”

Blue Sea quietly stared at Chen Xiaocai. After a few seconds, just when Chen Xiaocai thought that Blue Sea was going to continue to ask what, this leader of wisdom in the blade mountains and seas suddenly turned his tone, not asking what, but as if he was looking at himself, began to say.

strange statement.

“Old Joe is my good brother, and to be precise, the four of us have always been the best brothers.” The tone of the Blue Sea seems to have a hint of remembrance.

“Old Joe has two daughters, something a few of us knew a long time ago. Joe Joe is the daughter of old Joe, and so is Yu Jiajia.

When Old Joe was young, he had a ridiculous day - even when he became an awakener, he never stopped being ridiculous.

Besides, I think you can see that he was definitely trendy when he was younger. ”

Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The face value and temperament of Joey Peak are the top choice among men. When I was younger, I was a bit trendy. It's not hard to understand.

“I'm sure you can understand how nervous everyone is about being an awakener. Every copy is a real gun, wire, lick the blade, everyone is under a lot of mental pressure.

So at the end of every copy, everyone takes advantage of the gap time and goes crazy. ”

Chen Xiaoliang also understands this statement.

In his own team, two brothers with tire spares are typical examples.

At the end of the copy, both brothers will leave for a while and go out for some crazy fun. After a previous copy, for example, the brothers went to Las Vegas to live a few days of drunken dreams.

This phenomenon is very common in the circle of awakeners.

“So Yu Jiajia was an accident left by Joey Peak.” Blue Sea Sloth.

Chen Xiaocao did not speak.

“Joey Peak's wife died early, leaving Joey Joe behind. I don't know... all I can say is that Joey Peak has a lot of guilt for his wife, so he won't marry again for life. And he poured that guilt on JoJo. I can only say that Yu Jiajia's appearance was an accident.

Earlier, when he found out that he was indulging outside, he had a bastard daughter, and he was very surprised.

I can tell you that Joey Peak didn't really like Yu Jiajia's mother, it was just a act of indulgence.

I personally do not rate this behavior as good or bad.

But when Joey Peak found out he actually had a bastard daughter, he decided to take that responsibility.

So Yu Jiajia, has been secretly cared for in the city of Hang An. ”

“Where's Yu Jiajia's mother?” Chen Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“Took a fortune, then left, disappeared - she took the initiative.” Blue Sea's tone is blunt: “In fact, she didn't even want the child herself, she was young, and she had the child purely to get a fortune from Old Joe. ”

Chen Xiaocai stopped talking - this kind of thing, for the world, I'm afraid happens every day.

“As awakeners, almost superhuman beings for ordinary people, we can easily acquire the wealth, status that ordinary people dream of. So Yu Jiajia has been taken care of very well since childhood.

Later, Joey Peak died unexpectedly during a duplicate mission and was refreshed into an ordinary person.

The other three brothers made a decision to wake up his memory and keep him in the team. This decision, now that I think about it, is kind of selfish.

Now that you've died once, why don't you just keep him away from all this? But then we woke him up, and this thing, in fact, from my personal point of view, I always felt guilty about old Joe.

Old Joe became the agent of the secular industry of the swords and volcanoes, and we launched a 'retirement' plan that would at least allow our brothers, who had fought side by side, to be refreshed into ordinary people, not to be displaced in the dust world.

I think none of us can tolerate the heroic brotherly warrior who, after turning back into an ordinary man, watched him endure a difficult life in the world.

So we started the Retirement program, and when Joey Peak was recalled, we took full responsibility for it.

And for a Zero City resident team, we have enough energy to create a huge wealth group in the world. ”

“I can understand.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

“We, in fact, have not always liked Yu Jiajia very much. ”

Blue Sea suddenly said such a sentence, making Chen Xiaolian stand still.

He looked at the Blue Sea curiously.

“Because Joey Peak's wife is the sister of the Thunder Fire.” The blue sea came out with such an answer that Chen Xiaocai was stunned.

This… is a new situation!

“Let's put it this way, the thunderbolt guy is like a fire, that is, when Yu Jiajia was there, Old Joe's wife had passed away for quite some time. So the blaze tolerated the indulgence of Joey Peak. Although there may be some discomfort in his heart,... After all, he is his own brother, and he is not indulgent in marriage. He can't let his brother play bareback all his life. Besides, among the awakeners, there is too much pressure and indulgence in private life, so everyone can close one eye. ”

“JoJo Jo has been watched by several of our old guys growing up, although we tried not to get her involved and would never bring her into the world of Zero City... after Old Jo was recalled, we tried to keep Jo Jo out of our world.

You can understand, because of the existence of the thunderbolt, everyone will adore Jojo as a princess, but Yu Jiajia... has always been raised in Hang An by Joey Peak, without any name. ”

“… I don't know what to say.” Chen Xiaocai smiled.

“You don't have to say anything, after all, it didn't really matter to you before this.” The Blue Sea sighed: "But now, the relationship is huge. ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned.

“Jojo is dead, and Joey Peak's memory has obviously been modified by a system reset. I have investigated that no one outside remembers the presence of Jojo… that is, all the traces she had, in the world of ordinary people, were completely erased. Joey Peak doesn't have this memory either... maybe not a bad thing for you, after all, you don't have to face an angry, painful father who lost his daughter.

But the problem is... in addition to Joey Peak, there are people who care a lot about Joey's life. This person is... "

“Thunder fire?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned.

Speaking of this thunderbolt, Chen Xiaoliang has always been curious about such a person.

The so-called knife mountains and seas correspond to four people.

The knife is naturally a heavenly knife, mountain, Joey Peak, sea is Mr. Blue Sea.

These three individuals, Chen Xiaoliang, naturally have already dealt with each other.

But instead of this thunderbolt, as one of the four giants of Mount Knife and the Sea of Fire, he never showed up.

Even at such a critical time as blood refining, it is about the life and death of a mountain of knives and seas of flames.

This guy didn't show up either, like he was invisible!

When the Blue Sea has decided to sacrifice itself for the sake of the team, go to the Blood Refining Arena alone, and fight with the absolute determination of death, this thunderbolt still seems like a fan has never appeared!

Chen Xiaoliang has been curious about this question before, but after all, it is the privacy of other people's teams, and he is not ashamed to ask anything.

“You suddenly mentioned Thunder Fire and told me what this was all about?” Chen Xiaolian looked at the Blue Sea.

“Jojo's death, and why she disappeared completely, is no longer possible for Joey Peak to ask you. I'm curious, but if you won't say it, there's no reason for me to embarrass you. Though I think this must be very important, I would never embarrass you for what you've done to us.

But there is one person who will not let you go.

This man, thunderbolt fire. ”

“Oh?” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “He... won't let me go? ”

“Blazing sex, I know best. There is a saying that only the wrong name is taken, but not the wrong nickname. Since the nickname is Thunderfire, I don't think I need to say much about the character of this person.

In my knowledge of the Blaze, I can only describe his nature in sixteen words. ”

Blue Sea said here, softly: “Sexuality is fierce, joyful, untamed, and overbearing. ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “Do you think he will come to me? ”

“Once he finds out that Jojo has completely disappeared, he will surely come to you. ”

Chen Xiaoliang stopped talking.

Blue Sea sighed: “Perhaps you think I'm alarming, but from what I know about the nature of a thunderbolt, he never makes sense to do anything. Once he finds out Jojo's dead, he'll find you first and then torture you... and most likely kill you. ”

“Kill me? ”

“Yes,” said Blue Sea faintly, "because you're Jojo's man, Jojo's with you, and she's dead, then it's your responsibility. ”

Chen Xiaocai silently nodded for a moment: “I accept. Verily, I am to be punished for this. ”

“It's not over.” The Blue Sea frowned, "I'm afraid it's not enough to kill you. He'll probably go for it and clean up all the survivors in your team who participated in the copy. Because of this sort of thing, he has never done it before.

Angering the neighbor was the biggest illness of his nature. ”

Chen Xiaoliang was dissatisfied with this: “Jojo is my woman, I did not protect her well, I admit that I was going to kill her. But what about the rest of my team? They have no responsibility! This thunderbolt can't be so unreasonable!! ”

Blue Sea's face became a little strange: “Irrational… very normal. In this world, women often do things unreasonably. ”

“Woman... wait!” Chen Xiaoliang suddenly stared wide-eyed: “Woman?! You mean... thunderbolt? Women?!”
