Chapter 34
"This! This should be transferred from the headquarters!" Yu Hui hurriedly explained to Chen Jing, fearing that he would misunderstand, "The parliament does not want to go to war with your grandfather, unless..."
"Unless the woman named Xu Ye dies?" Chen Jing asked.
Yu Hui did not answer, but looking at his expression, Chen Jing could guess the answer.
"How about we go up and persuade them?" Chen Jing couldn't help but frowned.
The fog that had spread out earlier had dissipated by about 90% at this time, leaving only a "fog ball" with a diameter of about ten meters in the community square.
At this moment, Chen Jing and Yu Hui were standing on the edge of the balcony, staring at the huge spherical object, while the little skeleton Ryan hid behind Chen Jing and dared not look at it.
For a low-level old descendant like it who was born in the wasteland, the high-level old descendant's breath in the air was simply indescribably terrible, and even gave it the illusion that it would be killed at any time.
"Stop."
Yu Hui suddenly said this, and then the whole person seemed to collapse in an instant.
After his tense nerves relaxed, his hands were still twitching unconsciously.
"Did it really stop?!"
Chen Jing was just an ordinary person, and could not feel the subtle changes in the atmosphere on the battlefield below.
So at this moment he did not know what was happening, and could only vaguely see that the huge "fog ball" was still shrinking.
Until half a minute later.
The terrifying fog completely dissipated.
Or rather... returned to the old man's body.
It was not until this moment that Chen Jing was able to see what the outcome of this inexplicable battle would be.
Facts have proved that Chen Bofu's strength is far superior to Xu Ye.
This is also consistent with Yu Kui's initial guess.
In this Evernight City, the only person who can suppress this old madman is the only remaining great councilor, and no one else can be the opponent of this old madman...
"I don't understand you."
Chen Bofu suddenly spoke, with endless doubts in his hoarse voice.
Although his clothes were torn like rags, there was no sign of injury.
Compared with him, Xu Ye was much more embarrassed.
There were obvious bloodstains on Xuye's body, especially the white shirt she wore underneath, which had almost turned blood red. The bones of her right arm had a terrifying bend, and her left arm was missing.
Yes.
From Xuye's left shoulder down, her entire arm was gone, but her clothes were intact.
Only the empty sleeve could prove that something had been there before.
"Although we have never dealt with each other before, I have read your personal files, including those unclassified materials..."
Xuye seemed to feel no pain, and her delicate face still had that extremely gentle smile, just like natural water that made it difficult for people to feel bad.
"I know you have been holding back your anger for the past few years... If I don't give you a chance to go crazy... Sooner or later, you will cause trouble in Yongye..."
Xuye stopped talking here, raised his hand and stretched out his slender index finger, pointing calmly at the empty sleeve.
"Sincerity, I gave enough."
"Face, I also gave."
"So..."
Xuye looked at Chen Bofu, his eyes with a gentle smile, as if revealing an urgent request.
"Mr. Chen, we can have a good chat."
"What do you want to talk about?" Chen Bofu couldn't help but be alert, thinking that the woman in front of him looked young, but she was very cunning.
"Your future, my future, the future of the parliament..."
Xuye raised his hand and gently tapped on the pretty cheek, and his gentle eyes suddenly lit up.
"And the future of this city."
Chapter 30 The world needs order
Chen Jing didn't expect that the battle would end in this way, and he didn't expect that the old man who wanted to eat Xuye alive before would change his previous attitude and become inexplicably enthusiastic.
"Jingjing! You and your uncle Yuhui watch TV at home first! I'll go out and talk to this girl!" Chen Bofu shouted from downstairs.
"Oh... OK!" Chen Jing nodded in response.
In fact, he was also very curious about what the two were going to talk about, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of following them to listen.
After all, there were outsiders present now, and it would be the same to ask the old man later.
When Chen Bofu and Xu Ye left the community, Chen Jing found that the "redeemers" surrounding the community gradually dispersed.
They seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and only left after confirming that the chief of security of the parliament was not in danger.
For a while.
Chen Jing and Yu Kui looked at each other in confusion, and no one knew what was going on between Xu Ye and the old man.
But from Xu Ye's previous words, it can be roughly guessed... The business they talked about might be very heavy and troublesome.
"I didn't expect your grandfather to show mercy..." Yu Kui couldn't help but sigh, carefully looking at Chen Jing, and the tone of his voice was full of fear, "I thought he would really kill the chief..."
"I thought so too." Chen Jing said with lingering fear, thinking of those who had offended the old man and died a miserable death, and felt that Xu Ye was really lucky.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Jing couldn't help but be curious and asked tentatively.
"Uncle Yuhui, do you know what they are going to talk about?"
"Not sure..."
Yu Hui shook his head subconsciously, but suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Chen Jing carefully for a few times and hesitated before speaking.
"Maybe I want to talk about the Parliament and the Priory..."
"Parliament and monastery?" Chen Jing was startled.
In this city of eternal night, the [Round Table Council] is the governing body that establishes all order, while the [Moonlight Priory] should belong to that kind of local religion. Could it be that between them...
"You are Mr. Chen's grandson. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter what I say to you, but you still have to be careful...don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise you will easily get into trouble."
When Yu Hui said this, he suddenly shrugged.
"But you don't seem to be afraid of trouble..."
"You can tell me." Chen Jing looked at Yu Hui with interest, raised his finger and pointed at his mouth, "I have a very tight mouth, I promise not to say anything outside!"
"Hmm..." Jade Snake nodded, then quietly turned his gaze to the little skeleton Ryan.
"This little guy..."
Seeing Jade Snake's eyes move to him, the little skeleton Ryan was immediately frightened, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"One of our own." Chen Jing patted Ryan on the shoulder and comforted him softly.
There was a strange light flashing in Jade Snake's eight eyes, as if he was sizing up Ryan, and he spoke again after about half a minute.
"Actually, this isn't really a secret..."
Yu Hui said softly, but every word seemed extremely heavy, and even his breath became sluggish.
"Jingjing, you should know that there are only three cities left in this world that are still surviving, and only these three cities can temporarily resist the erosion from the wasteland..."
"Eternal night, extreme day, hanging in the sky?" Chen Jing became more and more curious.
"right."
Yu Hui nodded, his tone becoming very helpless.
"These three cities used to be ruled by the [Round Table Council], but now the situation has changed. The council in Jiju City was eroded by the [Great Buddha Mother Temple] and riddled with holes, and the council in the Hanging City was also eroded by the [Turing Research Association] It’s only in name only.”
"So now only the Yongye City Council still has the ruling power?"
"That's it for now..."
The jade snake sighed and slowly took a few steps forward, holding on to the railing of the balcony with its lizard-like paws.
"In recent years, [Moonlight Hermitage] has had close ties with the sects in the other two cities. Although everyone is friendly on the surface, our council knows that those bastards want Yongye City to follow in the footsteps of the other two cities. ”
"Sects still like to seize power?" Chen Jing couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of some history in the real world, he suddenly felt that it was normal for sects to like to seize power.
After all, no one dislikes power.
A person who uses the name of "God" to demonstrate authority in front of believers.
There are not many of them throughout the ages.
"It's not that simple." Yu Hui's voice suddenly lowered, "They are not such boring creatures. Power is meaningless to them. The reason why they want to ignore the parliament is..."
At this point, Jade Snake stopped.
Because he saw Xu Ye and Chen Boxu walking back from the community.
The two seemed to be chatting happily and in a harmonious atmosphere, with smiles on their faces.
Yu Hui looked deeply at the old man who was talking to Xu Ye, and suddenly sighed with a complex expression, "You have a good grandpa." After that, he never spoke again and remained silent.
Until the old man and Xu Ye came back.
"You're not bad. You're much more powerful than those previous security chiefs..." Chen Bofu sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, while Chen Jing stood aside and listened quietly, occasionally glancing at Xu Ye secretly.
He remembered that Xu Ye should have been seriously injured before, and even one of his arms was missing, but now it seems...
Except for the blood stains on his body and some traces of battle, Su Ye almost looked like a normal person.
"Then it's settled."
Su Ye still had a smile on her face that was too gentle to be true.
Although Chen Jing didn't know what she chatted with the old man in private, he could tell that the woman was very happy.
For the first time, a smile from the bottom of his heart showed in those eyes that were not filled with emotions.
"Well, okay, let's go..." Chen Bofu smiled and waved his hand, then looked back at Chen Jing, "My dear grandson, help me see them off."
"good."
The old man actually had the idea of seeing off guests. This "courteous" attribute was the first time Chen Jing had seen the old man.
But Chen Jing could probably guess that the old man must have reached some agreement or consensus with Xu Ye, or it might be some kind of deal...
All in all, there must be something going on here.
"Your grandpa is more reasonable than I thought."
After going out, Xuye followed Chen Jing and whispered softly, while Yuhui walked slowly two steps away, as if he didn't dare to walk side by side with them.
Chen Jing smiled and nodded, then pressed the elevator button.
Not a moment.
The elevator is here.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Jing led the two of them in.
"I thought he was really going crazy today..." Xuye smiled and stretched, revealing his graceful body curves.
"He is actually a good person." Chen Jing said.
Xuye looked at him carefully, but couldn't find any expression of disobedience.
"From a certain perspective, you are right, but he also did many things that disrupted order..."
After saying that, Xuye suddenly changed the topic and asked Chen Jing abruptly.
"What do you think of our parliament?"
"I don't know you very well, so I can't say what I think."
"You don't have to be so careful."
Xu Ye took a step towards Chen Jing.
