Chapter 697 Evening Party Kasaiya
...
After dinner, after Jie Luo returned to her room to review her homework, Roland came to the door of 0827 as agreed.
After patting the door panel a few times, the door creaked open.
Garcia still had that cold expression, "Come in."
Walking into the house, Roland found that her decoration was much better than that of his own apartment. The floor was replaced with solid wood floor, a special shoe cabinet was placed at the door, a crystal chandelier was installed above the head, and even the white paint on the wall was repainted. over again. You can tell from the smoothness that it is by no means the original paint that Tongzilou pre-painted in the early days.
"There are no extra slippers, you can wear mine first," she pointed to a pair of furry rabbit ear slippers on the bottom shelf of the shoe cabinet, "I like to wear large ones, and they shouldn't be too small for you .”
Roland tried to put his feet in the shoes. They were not too small, but they were winter slippers, and he felt hot all over after wearing them. Moreover, the two balls of fluffy rabbit ears on the slippers...he really couldn't imagine Garcia wearing these shoes. What would the slippers look like.
It can't match her indifference of rejecting others thousands of miles away, okay?
He walked to the sofa and sat down, "By the way, do you have any water here? The dinner dishes may have put a little too much salt."
Garcia frowned and glanced at him, "Only ice."
"Then let it be iced."
Taking advantage of her turning around to go to the kitchen, Roland looked into the back room—all the houses in the tube building were basically the same, but the two adjacent houses were symmetrical. 0827 is the next door to the next door, so the passage facing the gate must lead to the utility room.
Sure enough, at the end of the passage, he saw a cubicle of similar size, but Garcia had obviously redecorated it and replaced it with sliding shutter doors. The good news is that this kind of sliding door is generally not locked. The bad news is that she will remove the iron door during the renovation and rebuild the outer wall?
When Garcia returned to the living room with water, Roland had already pretended to be nonchalant, leaning on the sofa and enjoying the programs on TV.
"Thank you," he picked up the water glass, "You live here alone? During the parents' meeting in the morning, they all said you belonged to Sanye's family..."
"I'm not," Garcia interrupted coldly, "Sanye has nothing to do with me, and can even be said to be an enemy."
"Enemy?" Roland was startled, "Then your cousin..."
"They just saw this and wanted my cousin to persuade me to go back," she said with a gloomy expression. "If I leave, the group can let go and demolish the building."
"So the mall expansion plan next door is a project of Sanye Group?"
"Otherwise, who else would dare to openly demolish these cultural relics?" Garcia wondered, "You obviously live in Tongzilou, why don't you even know about this?"
Worse... The other party is not Jie Luo, but a mature adult. If he inherits the character of the third princess, it will be even more difficult to fool.
"Ahem... I seldom care about things in the streets and alleys. In addition, I lost my job a while ago, so I haven't been out for almost half a year." Roland quickly changed the subject, "The martial arts you mentioned are not only participating in competitions , do you have another job?"
"That's right, competitions are equivalent to competitions and training. Promoting martial arts to the audience and winning prizes are not the most important content. Fighting the erosion of the outside world is our top priority."
"What erosion?" He asked in surprise.
"You know the Fallen, right? They are one of them, and they are the most common type—it's not that people who have awakened the power of nature lose control of the power, but the erosion from the outside world makes them become Another creature." Garcia said in a deep voice, "Ordinary force can do little damage to the Fallen, so we need to stand up and fight against it."
Roland swallowed involuntarily, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart... The dream world has been eroded?
"What does the outside world mean?"
"I can't tell you too much about this, unless you join the Martial Arts Association and obtain a hunting license."
"Why?"
"Because not all people who have awakened the power of nature will side with martial arts." Garcia said word by word, "Many people even hope that external forces will enter our world, and they are hostile to all human beings, so The hunting license not only allows fighting against fallen demons, but also allows martial arts masters to kill those awakened people who try to disturb the stability of society."
Is that why it is called a hunting license? Roland suddenly felt a little creepy. In other words, if he is confirmed to have awakened the power of nature and is unwilling to join the association, wouldn't he be regarded as a natural enemy by them?
As if seeing his worry, Garcia shook his head, "There are indeed some people who are neither willing to join the Martial Arts Association nor to serve those vicious people. Such people are called centrists. The Association will not treat them What to do, but the Fallen are different...Because most of the centrists like to act alone, they are often attacked by the enemy. So if you don't plan to join the association, you'd better never expose your power."
Looking at the "Three Princesses" who talked a lot, Roland couldn't help but feel a little strange. She always looks indifferent, but in fact it's not that difficult to communicate. Recalling the scene when they first met, he even thought that the other party was an arrogant young lady who usually didn't like to look people straight.
After he expressed his doubts euphemistically, what he got was a ruthless stare from the other party, "Your first reaction when you saw me was to touch the weapon behind you. Do I still have to give you a good look? Fortunately, you didn't Get your weapon out, or you'll have to go to the hospital for a plaster cast."
Just then, Garcia's cell phone rang. She glanced at the screen and couldn't help frowning, "I'll answer the phone."
After speaking, she picked up her mobile phone and walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Obviously she didn't want Roland to hear the conversation.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Roland immediately stood up, took off the rabbit ear slippers, and walked quickly to the end of the aisle with bare feet.
Through the gap in the shutters, he has already seen the things stored in the compartment - Garcia actually converted it into a cloakroom! In addition to all kinds of dresses, there are also many women's underwear hanging inside.
But nothing can stop him from seeking out the truth of the world.
Roland pushed open the shutter door without hesitation, and walked in against the fragrance of clothes.
After passing through layers of clothes, an iron blue door appeared in front of him! And he also noticed that there was no padlock on the door, but the handle was covered with a layer of dust, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding clean walls.
Could it be that Garcia never entered or exited this door of memory?
But now is not the time to think about it. Roland took a deep breath and gently opened the door a little.
The salty smell of the sea flooded into his nostrils in an instant, and the sound of water splashing across the beach could be heard in the distance, and the blue sea was like a vast and boundless curtain, slowly unfolding in front of his eyes.
