The reason why they had to steal the important props from Zhenli Tianwen was because they couldn't borrow them through normal means, or they were worried that if they borrowed them, the information about the female devil would be discovered, thus leading to too many competitors?
From this perspective, the interior of Zhenli Tianwen is perhaps closer to my impression of the magic sects in novels. Do they advocate the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle?
Just when Luo Shu's associations were diverging.
Sharon, who was somewhat confused about why Luo Shu gave such information, hesitated for a moment and then attributed this speculation to the other party's identity.
Perhaps, it is information from within the island or even a "prophecy" from God?
Thinking of this, she lowered her head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, she said humbly:
"I'm sorry, but the information I know cannot give you an accurate answer."
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Shu didn't care about Sharon's guess, but his expression changed, and he said with a little helplessness:
"It's almost time."
Just when Sharon didn't understand why Luo Shu said that, six playing-card-sized cards appeared in front of her.
In the center of each card are the major celestial bodies of the solar system appearing in abstract images.
Luo Shu did not explain further, but simply said: "Pick one and use it as your code name from now on."
Hearing this, Sharon looked down at the cards on the table, searched for a while, and drew a 'Venus' card.
"I choose the Gold Star brand."
Venus...symbolizes harmony and balance...Seeing this, Luo Shu did not say anything, but tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
Suddenly, a number of simple wooden doors appeared in the originally empty room, and on the doors, the meanings of each door were engraved.
At the same time, a silver bracelet appeared in front of Sharon.
"This is a token from the Astronomy Club. With the points you have stored in the club, you can use the bracelet to teleport to this space in an emergency."
“You can log into the internal network through the bracelet to view the detailed functions of this space and the function of points.
"I have deposited 2,000 points in your bracelet. This will be your fixed monthly salary in the future."
After saying this, Luo Shu glanced at Sharon and said calmly:
"When I need you, I will contact you through the internal network."
"Except for the necessary tasks, I will not prohibit you from other actions, including continuing to serve your previous 02 organization."
Hearing this, Sharon's expression seemed to change, as if she understood Luo Shu's hint, and immediately said respectfully:
"If I get information about a secret organization, how should I hand it over to you?"
“Just send it directly to me via the internal network.
After saying this, Luo Shu tapped the table with his index finger and said:
"This meeting ends here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu's figure disappeared in this space.
And when his sight returned from the space, the first thing that appeared in front of Luo Shu was a wine glass filled with sake.
"Hoo-ha-ha-ha~ Luo Shu-jun, I already said one cup per person, you can't cheat, right?"
Looking at Nakahara Ruixi, who was standing in front of him with a slightly tipsy face, holding a wine bottle and a wine glass, and reeking of alcohol, the corner of Luo Shu's mouth twitched.
Chapter 72: Luo Shu, who eats meat and watches the show
In a private room of a barbecue restaurant in Beika Town.
A group of SDS members are eating and drinking at public expense.
"Wait, Sister Ruixi, Luo Shu is not old enough to drink yet!!"
Seeing that Nakahara Mizuki was hiding Luo Shu in the guise of a drunkard, Jinmu Chitsugu, who was standing by, immediately reached out and grabbed Nakahara Mizuki's neck and said:
"Your behavior will only cause trouble!"
"What does it matter~" Drunkard Nakahara Mizuki waved his hands nonchalantly, like a drunkard: "As long as we don't tell anyone, how can we be caught?"
"Besides, a man who can't drink will be looked down upon by his superiors in the workplace. I am helping Luo Shujun adapt to the workplace in advance."
“It’s precisely because of seniors like you that there is contempt in the workplace!
Nishiki Chitose hooked her arm around Nakahara Mizuki's neck and quickly picked up a ball of barbecued meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hot, hot, hot!!"
Ignoring the shouting of Nakahara Mizuki, Mika, who was sitting next to Luo Shu, took a sip of sake:
"You were seriously distracted just now. Are you still thinking about what happened in the previous meeting?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu turned around and smiled apologetically: "No, I was just thinking about Sharon."
He was more than just thinking. In fact, his main consciousness was in the different space where the Astronomy Club was located, and he was exchanging information with Sharon in a friendly manner.
Speaking of which, Luo Shu had just learned how to project his consciousness into another space without having to be present in person.
The medium is still an exchange contract that possesses him.
The general principle is to create an illusory "doll" in the alien space of the astronomy club through the system, and then use the devil spell to "exchange" part of the past consciousness, so as to achieve two-way communication.
The disadvantage is that it consumes too much energy and is prone to serious distraction.
However, it was precisely because of this bold move that Luo Shu was able to meet Sharon again at a gathering of SDS internal members.
At this time, Mika was immediately distracted by Luo Shu's mention of Sharon:
"The pure Sharon?"
"It's really strange that such a powerful monster was actually beaten away by you, Luo Shu."
By this time, Mika had already heard about Sharon's achievements after he was kicked out of the command room, and the person who told him was naturally Nishiki Chitsuko.
"Using an assault rifle to attack a mortar shell and detonating it in mid-air, this exaggerated method makes it hard not to wonder if Sharon has the ability to strengthen firearms or something like that."
Mika touched his chin and said doubtfully:
"Although in theory, this can be achieved by hitting the detonator inside the shell, but using a gun to hit a high-speed moving shell, it also needs to penetrate the metal shell and hit the detonator inside... Even if the ability of the gun is enhanced, it doesn't make sense."
"According to the report of the on-site investigator, the remaining bullet was deformed in a very abnormal state, and the bullet tip showed strange wear."
Sitting next to Mika, Inoue Takina, who had a notebook on her lap, reported very rationally.
Nishiki Chitsuka was shocked when she saw this: "Wait? Takina, where is your notebook from?"
Inoue Takina looked up at Nishiki Chitsuka and answered honestly, "I took it from the truck. Um, it was the truck that the director drove away."
Upon hearing this, Jinmu Qianshu slapped his head and held his head between his hands:
"Ah!! I don't want you to answer that. I mean, why are you holding your work laptop when everyone is eating yakiniku/yakitori together?!"
Inoue Takina answered seriously: "Because I am very concerned about how Sharon did it, I asked the investigators at the scene to investigate and consider future response strategies."
"Oh? What? Let me see."
Mizuki Nakahara left her seat and walked to the side of Inoue Takina. She looked at the live surveillance video playback and watched Sharon's agile movements to dodge the bullet. She squinted her eyes and said drunkenly:
"In this case, how about using a special capture net that can be fired from a gun? That's the kind of explosion-proof net gun that shoots out a capture net with a single shot. The ones that the police use to catch dangerous suspects. The net probably needs to be reinforced.
"Well, I can't think of any other solution except this. After all, if we don't restrict Sharon's movements with props, the gun probably can't hit her. And if she has a gun, we'll all be doomed except Qian Shu.
Hearing this, Mika also frowned and reminded: "But, the launch speed of that kind of net is very slow. With Sharon's speed, she can definitely avoid the capture range safely. In this case, if you want it to be effective, you may need a lot of people who are responsible for placing the capture net. If this is the case, if it fails, there will be huge casualties."
"Not only that." Inoue Takina said seriously, "Because the director used 'Secret' in this operation, Sharon's strongest abyss item could not be used, which forced the other party to engage in a gunfight."
"Considering that the pure Sharon has always used close combat to deal with enemies, can we assume that?"
At this time, Inoue Takina said with a heavy face:
"Sharon herself thinks her marksmanship is her weak point?"
"Is this what you call weak?" Nakahara Mizuki sobered up now and pointed at Sharon who was dodging bullets at almost zero distance on the screen.
At this time, Mika crossed his arms and said helplessly:
"If it's 617, facing this kind of melee technique, if the opponent can use the Abyss Item, even if the capture net restricts the opponent, our current means may not be able to cause damage to the opponent."
Looking at the three people in front of him who were discussing heatedly, Luo Shu, who was holding the net, turned his head and looked at Nishiki Chitsugu who was putting the barbecue into his bowl:
"Isn't it bad to put all the Kobe beef in my bowl?"
Hearing Luo Shu's weak question, Jinmu Qianshu maintained an angry smile and said:
"Don't worry about those three idiots. Luo Shu, just eat your fill."
"Oh, by the way, there will be 5 more teriyaki chicken skewers later. Luo Shu, you take three and I'll take two. And there are the remaining beef and yakitori. Let's divide the meat together and leave none for these three workaholics, okay?"
Hearing what Jinmu Chitsuka said, Luo Shu, who likes to eat teriyaki chicken skewers, suddenly brightened up:
"Teriyaki chicken skewers? Since you said so, Chizuki... then fine!"
After a while, Luo Shu and Nishiki Chitsugu leaned against each other, eating teriyaki chicken skewers while watching Mika, Nakahara Mizuki and Inoue Takina discussing how to deal with a strong enemy like 'Sharon'.
Considering that 'Sharon' at that time was Luo Shu himself, Luo Shu seemed very happy when he ate the teriyaki chicken skewers.
Chapter 73 The End and Beginning of Nightlife
After 10pm.
The barbecue house did not become deserted, but the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Under the gaze of office workers who were eating barbecue in groups of two or three, Luo Shu and Nishiki Chitsugu each dragged one of Nakahara Mizuki's arms and carried the woman out of the barbecue house.
Although dragging Nakahara Mizuki wasn't too hard, Nishiki Chitsuka still complained:
"Miss Ruixi, have you gained weight? You are much heavier than before."
"Stop making so much noise, you little brat! How can you call a woman fat?"
Nakahara Ruixi reached out and grabbed Luo Shu's left cheek, then squeezed it hard. But it didn't move, so she let out a "huh".
"Strange, why has your face become so rough, Chitose? Are all those cosmetics I recommended to you useless?"
"No, you just pinched the wrong person."
Luo Shu looked at the drunkard in front of him speechlessly and said unhappily:
"Also, my face is very rough. I'm really sorry."
At this time, Inoue Takina, who was standing next to him, glanced at Luo Shu's profile and whispered:
"Your skin is actually pretty good already. If you use some toner, it will probably be even better.
"What did you say?" Luo Shu turned his head and looked at Inoue Takina strangely. At this time, Inoue Takina seemed to be a little shy and turned his head away and said:
"No, I didn't say anything."
At this time, Mika, who was also drunk, seemed to be able to keep his sanity, grabbing his hair and said in distress.
"A guy like Ruixi is probably drunk too much. Thanks to her, I am a little over the limit now. My head is dizzy. It seems that Qianshu has to drive."
"Hey, Mika, you can't drive after drinking."
Nishiki Chitsugu said to Mika speechlessly.
At this moment, she, who was dragging Nakahara Ruixi, suddenly remembered something and said to Luo Shu.
"Speaking of which, Luo Shu, the apartment you live in is in Ikebukuro, Nerima District, right?"
“It’s not in the same direction as where we live.
Nishiki Chitsuka thought for a moment, glanced at Inoue Takina beside him, then turned to Luo Shu and said:
"How about having someone drive you back? Let Takina go with you."
"Ah?" Inoue Takina didn't expect the little sister to use this trick, and was stunned on the spot.
"No, I think I can just take the subway. It's still early after all."
Having said this, Luo Shu looked at everyone and asked in confusion:
"By the way, you all live over at the cafe in Chiyoda, right?"
"That's not true.
