"Snake is a really nice guy, very generous."
Sitting in the passenger seat of the SUV, Lu Xin said with some emotion.
Gecko was driving the car seriously, with his mouth tightly shut and his eyes looking straight ahead.
After a while, Lu Xin said again: "I heard that people in the wilderness are very generous before, and now I finally understand."
Gecko's neck seemed to be fixed, motionless, mechanically pushing the gear, like an unconscious wooden man.
He has always had that expression since leaving Blackwater Town.
The man who looked handsome and unrestrained in a red suit at that time, after staying alone with Lu Xin in the warehouse for less than half an hour, turned into that terrible look. Anyone who saw it almost had a rare pity in the wilderness.
But I have been in the same car with him all this time...
...No, it's them!
After a while, Lu Xin said: "If everyone in the wilderness is as reasonable as Snake Master, it will be convenient to get out in the future..."
"..."
Gecko finally couldn't help it and slowly said: "You praise Snake Master so much because she gave you a motorcycle?"
"Not only that..."
Seeing that Gecko finally spoke, Lu Xin was slightly relieved.
Since coming out of Blackwater Town, Gecko has been like this, which seems a bit abnormal.
He is a little worried about Gecko.
He smiled and said, "Snake not only gave us the alliance coins, gold, motorcycle and other valuables on that person, but also kindly agreed to send us to Qinggang City. In addition, she also waived the fine for our shooting in Heishui Town, and helped us fill up the gas tank for free, replenish water and food, and send local specialties..."
"In addition, she also said that when she goes to Qinggang City to do business in the future, she will find me for cooperation..."
"It's a pity that due to regulations, I can't leave her my number..."
"..."
"Yes, I am a little sorry about this..."
Gecko sighed in agreement, and suddenly woke up again. Why did he chat with him again?
However, since the defense has been broken, he dare not be stiff anymore. Gecko secretly glanced at Lu Xin in the co-pilot.
Then he saw Lu Xin smiling at him, with white and neat teeth: "You can finally chat..."
"Seeing you come out of Blackwater Town and not talking, I thought you were affected by something, and I was worried about you."
Gecko was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you worried about me?"
"Yes."
Lu Xin said, "Doesn't our rules say that teammates must be cleaned up after they lose control?"
"Swish!"
Gecko's hair stood up, and his body became stiff again.
For the spider system that is good at twisting and controlling the body, this is a reverse display of ability.
"I was joking."
Lu Xin hurriedly explained: "Actually, I saw that you were in a bad mood. I don't know if it was because I ordered you as the captain in Blackwater Town, which made you unhappy, so I wanted you to relax. If I didn't do well..."
He paused slightly and said seriously: "...I am willing to apologize to you!"
"..."
"No, you misunderstood. I never like to joke with others!"
Gecko responded seriously at first, then his attitude softened slightly, and his expression became a little surprised.
He glanced at Lu Xin secretly and said cautiously: "Why do you care about me so much?"
"You are willing to apologize to me for such a small matter?"
"..."
"Yes."
Lu Xin said calmly: "You are the first colleague of the same level that I met in the Special Cleanup Department, and you are also the teammate who has worked with me the most in the field. You taught me a lot and treated me very well. I treat you as a friend, so of course I care about you very much..."
After a slight pause, he smiled and said: "To be honest, I didn't have many friends when I was in the company before."
"..."
"This is indeed something I didn't expect at first..."
Gecko was slightly moved by these words, and turned to look at Lu Xin in surprise.
Looking at Lu Xin's calm and serious expression, Gekko's mood gradually improved. Suddenly, he changed his tone and became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He laughed loudly and said, "But brother, you are really a long-winded person. Do you need to say these words?"
"We are not friends, but brothers!"
He patted the steering wheel twice excitedly, and said with a proud and proud smile: "We went out together, cleaned up together, and had to discuss how to settle the account when we returned this time. This kind of relationship... should leave each other's backs?"
"..."
Lu Xin heard that what he said made sense, and he finally became more lively and gradually put his mind at ease.
He thought to himself: "Yes, but my family is watching my back, but..."
"...I can watch my back for Gekko!"
"..."
But while he was thinking, Gekko's excited voice suddenly turned and became a little lower:
"We are friends..."
"...Is uncle, aunt, and sister okay?"
"..."
Lu Xin glanced at the rearview mirror and saw his mother, who was dignified and elegant, putting on makeup in front of the dressing box.
The sister was holding a piece of chocolate in her mouth, her little feet stretched out of the car window, and she was sleeping on her mother's lap.
When the family first appeared, Lu Xin once suspected that his sister was a ghost, but now he can be completely sure that she is not, because ghosts cannot bask in the sun, but his sister can bask in the sun, although when basking in the sun, she will become lazy and have no energy at all, and then when she is in a darker or more depressing place, she will become extremely excited...
...
...
"When making friends, you can't really tell him everything..."
Noticing Lu Xin's gaze looking back, his mother kindly reminded him: "Otherwise, we will be more distant..."
"Actually, that was a joke I played on you."
Lu Xin nodded slightly, smiled and said to the gecko: "I just have some strange abilities."
"Huh?"
Gecko's expression was really a little strange, but he didn't ask further out of curiosity. After a slight hesitation, his expression became very relaxed. He didn't continue to delve into this issue. He just laughed and said, "You don't need me to tell you. In fact, I have heard about it a long time ago. Moreover, a professor in the institute has always said that your ability is not spider-like, but family-friendly..."
"Since it is family-friendly, it is normal to have a strange ability, right..."
"Besides..."
While speaking, he secretly glanced at Lu Xin and said, "If you really have so many family members, how can you behave so normally?"
Lu Xin nodded in approval and said, "Thank you for understanding me. In fact, I know that sometimes others don't like me and think I'm not so normal, and even a little afraid of me..."
"No, I'm definitely not that kind of person."
Gecko said seriously, "I think you are very normal. At most, you have a few not-so-normal family members..."
In the back seat, my mother raised her eyes from behind the exquisite little dressing box and looked at the gecko.
My sister woke up and squinted her eyes at the gecko in the rearview mirror.
"…"
Lu Xin thought for a moment and interrupted him: "… Let's not talk about this topic anymore!"
"Um… OK, OK…"
The gecko reacted, his body stiffened slightly, and he always felt a chill on the back of his head.
Then he adjusted his mood, turned the steering wheel, and changed the subject: "Okay, okay, we're going to hit the main road soon."
"Tell me what you got out of the interrogation in Blackwater Town!"
"..."
Lu Xin nodded, took out his little notebook, flipped through a few pages, and said with a thoughtful look:
"The puppeteer's name is Chen Zhong, written as Zhong, pronounced as Chong."
"He's 34 years old this year, unmarried, has had three women, but no children. He was originally a resident of a high-walled city. After awakening his ability, he found that he was not very good, so he went into the wilderness to make a fortune, and gradually did a lot of big things in the west."
"..."
Gecko was a little stunned: "So detailed?"
Lu Xin looked up at him and said: "He took the initiative to tell me..."
Gecko was silent for a while, and seemed to recall some bad memories, and hurriedly stopped thinking: "Okay, you continue."
"Yeah."
Lu Xin was interrupted by him, and continued to talk after looking at the contents recorded in the small notebook: "Three years ago, he was favored by Qin Ran."
"By the way... In his mouth, he called Qin Ran the boss, and said his name was Zhang Sihuo..."
"According to him, at the beginning, neither of them was convinced by the other, but after a fight, he fell into Qin Ran's hands, but Qin Ran did not kill him, but invited him to join the Knights, but they were not the kind of Knights who plundered in the wilderness, but more like a temporary professional action team, with Qin Ran as the captain, and responsible for accepting commissions from other places..."
"Every time they received a commission, Qin Ran would send a telegram to them, and then they would find a place to gather."
"Their tasks mainly come from the high-walled city or some large forces, including but not limited to..."
"Assassination, escort, search for specific items, etc..."
"..."
"This..."
While driving, Gecko's face became extremely strange, and his voice was a little cold: "How did you ask that?"
"I heard that these people in the wilderness, I don't know if they are stupid or what, one by one, are so stubborn, saying that they keep their promises every day. Not to mention the ability users, even ordinary people, it is difficult to ask them after being caught..."
"I didn't expect this... to be so cooperative?"
"..."
Lu Xin paused slightly, looked at Gecko seriously, and said: "He really told me on his own initiative."
"..."
Gecko shuddered slightly, used his ability to control himself from trembling, and smiled: "Right, this is normal..."
"You don't even need to explain to you specifically, I'm easy to be convinced..."
