Chapter 254: The Sense of Ritual in Life

Lu Xin and Wawa took Wawa's exclusive van and arrived in the south of the city, in front of a building facing the Donghai Hotel.

Judging from the layout of the lobby, this seemed to be a high-end hotel, but both the front desk and the surroundings were empty, and no one could be seen. They came to the top floor of the 27th floor and entered the room on the east side of the corridor.

This room was originally a suite, which was more upscale than the one that Vice President Xiao lived in in Satellite City No. 2.

At least the living room area is larger than that one.

The room seemed to have been temporarily modified, with tempered glass installed against the wall. However, it was obviously installed very roughly, and even the wall-mounted TV in the hotel before was directly blocked by these glasses.

Obviously, this is another safe house that was temporarily arranged.

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Lu Xin understood why they brought him and Wawa here.

Logically speaking, the safe house at the Donghai Hotel was temporarily set up for Wawa to attend this senior talent training meeting. Although it has been destroyed by the cleaning work just now, Wawa should have another safe house to live in.

But the service team temporarily set up a new safe house here for themselves and Wawa to rest, because there is a floor-to-ceiling glass window on the east side of this room, and you can just see the direction of the Donghai Hotel from the window.

So, this should also be a reason for timely support in case of problems.

"Mr. Shanbing, because the incident happened suddenly, we can't prepare all the things Wawa likes. In case she is a little emotionally unstable, I hope you can comfort her well... By the way, don't be too loud when comforting her."

In Lu Xin's memory, this seems to be the first time that the service team members have spoken to him.

Listening to the voice, it sounds like the voice of a middle-aged woman, but looking at her size, she seems to be stronger than him.

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get busy."

Lu Xin felt that they were also very hard-working, and smiled politely.

The service staff was stunned for a moment and said, "We are busy now."

"..."

Lu Xin was unable to continue the conversation: "...Okay!"

"By the way, these are what we just found for the baby after running around a few places..."

Another service staff came over, holding a few colorful big boxes in his arms.

Lu Xin looked over and his eyes were straight.

Those were actually the Lego toys that the baby had played with before. Each box was very large. I don't know how they did it in such a mess in the city under the first-level alert. They found so many in a short time...

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Xin took the heavy boxes and thanked them solemnly.

"It's okay, it's our job..."

Several service staff members said hurriedly, and then asked the key question: "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to prepare a midnight snack?"

Lu Xin said gratefully: "Yes."

...

When several service team members left the room, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Wawa had just arrived in a new environment, and there was no familiar layout and color, so she seemed a little uneasy.

But after seeing Lu Xin next to her, she suddenly seemed very relieved. She took off her heavy princess dress, put on autumn clothes and autumn pants, sat on the floor covered with heavy carpets, and picked up a box of Lego toys with both hands.

After looking at it for a while, she bit it directly.

"Oh..."

Lu Xin looked at her biting the box with her fine white teeth, and hurriedly took it over and helped her tear it open.

A pile of small plastic cubes of different colors fell beside her, piled up like a small mountain, and she suddenly looked very happy.

He squatted on the ground and began to fiddle with it tirelessly.

"It's easy to serve."

Lu Xin looked at the doll for a while and nodded gently.

As long as she was playing honestly and he was carrying out another task, it was considered stable.

After ensuring this, he sat quietly on the sofa and thought about his own things.

In the process of dealing with this S-level ability user from the Sea Country, he actually went through a lot of things before and after, and his emotions fluctuated greatly. However, because he just had the key items of the second stage, he kept his emotions calm.

This has an advantage, he will not be affected too much by emotions, and there will be no panic and anxiety.

He thought for a while and slowly took off his glasses.

Looking down at this thing that seems to combine the characteristics of high technology and active items, he is very satisfied.

It is indeed possible to feel a special power in it.

"You performed very well this time and worked very hard, so I am willing to treat you as a friend..."

Lu Xin looked at the glasses and spoke softly after a while.

The glasses were silent, as if they were just a pair of glasses and would not answer others.

"Your characteristics are very helpful to me, and they helped me just now."

Regardless of whether it answered or not, Lu Xin continued to speak: "But, in fact, I can also feel that you are not honest. You have an ambition that is not what a pair of glasses should have. Even when performing the cleaning task just now, you wanted to take the lead..."

"..."

Slowly speaking, Lu Xin smiled.

Then he began to bend the glasses in his hands to both sides.

The material of the glasses looks like a strange hard wood, the kind that will break if you bend it.

But now, as Lu Xin exerted force, the frame of the glasses was slowly bent into a bow shape by him, and finally even folded directly into a diagonal shape, but the glasses still did not break or crack, as if they had changed from wood to an extremely elastic material.

Lu Xin slowly exerted force, and the smile on his face did not change at all.

As if he was very friendly to the glasses.

Until the glasses, as if they were overstressed, trembled slightly, as if they were afraid...

"Of course, I can understand, after all, we just met not long ago."

Lu Xin felt its trembling, and his smile eased a little, and he whispered: "Let's slowly get to know each other better in the future."

"Okay?"

"..."

The glasses returned to their original shape, but I don't know if it was because of inertia or something else.

It was trembling slightly, as if nodding.

Lu Xin showed a satisfied expression, and he put the glasses on his face again.

At this time, he saw the doll fiddling with the small cubes, looking at him curiously.

Lu Xin smiled at her and said, "I'm testing the quality of these glasses."

The doll believed it, showed a smile, then turned his head and continued to fiddle with the small cubes.

"It seems like there are many things to do, but what I want to do is…"

Lu Xin sorted out the things he was thinking about one by one. He didn't have any intention to rank them. After thinking about them, he naturally understood what he should do, and it was very easy.

Among so many things, the first thing to do is to ask for leave.

Lu Xin's expression became more relaxed and calm.

But just when he was relaxed, his shadow suddenly moved.

The room in this hotel was equipped with a soft lamp, and there were many light sources, so it was difficult to cast a clear shadow of a person. Even if there was, it was very faint and miserable. But when Lu Xin was quietly thinking about these questions, those scattered shadows seemed to gradually merge together under the movement of the light source, forming a darker and deeper shape.

The actual light source did not move, but the shadow seemed to move by itself.

A sneering voice rang out in the room: "Don't you really feel tired?"

"Always being imprisoned in so many rules and regulations..."

"..."

Lu Xin listened to this voice, as if he didn't feel surprised, but replied softly: "I like it this way, how can I be tired?"

The voice suddenly became a little heavy: "This is a shackle, which prevents you from being free..."

Lu Xin was silent for a while, and said softly: "But it makes me feel at ease..."

The shadow suddenly became deeper, with obvious shaking, affecting the light in the room.

"Are you really willing to stay like this, like a fool?"

"..."

Even the doll on the side seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look at Lu Xin curiously.

The shadow sneered: "You can obviously get everything you want..."

"... Including her!"

"..."

"Your ideas are always so extreme..."

Lu Xin looked at his shadow, unmoved, and whispered: "But I still want to tell you that you can't do things that you shouldn't do."

"Rules are the ritual sense of being a human being..."

"..."

"Ding Ling Ling..."

Suddenly, a satellite phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Lu Xin was slightly distracted, and looked down, and his shadow did not change.

He shook his head slightly and picked up the phone. Chen Jing's voice came from the phone: "How are you now?"

"We?"

Lu Xin glanced at the doll and smiled: "She is playing Lego, I am waiting for supper."

Chen Jing sighed and said with a smile: "That's good. Now the final investigation and sorting work of the whole city is underway, but basically all areas of the main city and several special pollution incidents in the satellite city have been resolved."

"Great."

Lu Xin nodded and said: "Actually, I was just about to tell you..."

"If things here are over, can I go back to the satellite city first?"

"..."

Chen Jing was slightly startled and said: "When?"

Lu Xin thought of the document that his mother had collected, paused, and said: "It would be best if it is now."

"So anxious?"

Chen Jing was a little surprised.

"Yes, actually, when I dealt with the 'Red Apostle' just now, I wanted to leave."

Lu Xin said: "But I saw that you were so busy, I didn't feel comfortable asking you for leave."

"..."

Listening to Lu Xin's words, Chen Jing felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She said slowly: "But if you go back now, the mission of accompanying the baby will be interrupted."

Lu Xin nodded and said: "I asked for leave because of this matter. It's not convenient for me to accompany her now..."

"Because I have some personal matters to take care of."

"..."

Listening to his calm voice, Chen Jing suddenly felt a little worried.
