Xie Xuan looked at the night rapidly receding outside the window, and suddenly felt that her night was full of fantasy.

First, he met Chongming at dinner, which was understandable, but then he was kidnapped by Xie Yuheng's men in the hospital, and then he met a mysterious Bal.

Xie Xuan thought again of the Ox-Horned Ghost Mask who was quietly looking down at her in the corridor, and suddenly she had an indescribable sense of déjà vu.

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Yuheng suddenly asked.

Xie Xuan turned around and saw Xie Yuheng, who had finished his work, looking at her sideways. There was no extra expression on his face, and it was obvious that his emotions had completely calmed down.

"Wondering who Baal is."

"One of the seventy-two seats in a mercenary organization." Xie Yuheng said, "Lost Paradise, we take on any job, whether it's an infection or an assassination, as long as the money is paid."

This was the first time Xie Xuan had heard this name. "So they want to assassinate you?"

"It's obvious," Xie Yuheng said, "there are countless people who want to kill me."

"Then why did he suddenly give up just now?" Xie Xuan was puzzled.

In fact, Xie Yuheng himself didn’t know much about Paradise Lost. This organization had risen rapidly in the past few years. He didn’t know who the founder was or where the headquarters was.

Xie Yuheng had done several transactions with Lost Paradise as a buyer, but the information he knew was limited to the fact that Lost Paradise was headed by seventy-two people with special abilities, and under them were countless informants hidden in the crowd who collected intelligence for them.

And who is above the seventy-two superpowers, and what is the purpose of Paradise Lost? Is it just to make money, or is there a bigger conspiracy behind it? Xie Yuheng has no idea.

Therefore, when Xie Xuan asked him this, Xie Yuheng could not give a clear answer.

He wasn't even sure whether he was the target of Bal's mission.

When Xie Yuheng was first put on the task list of Lost Paradise, Lost Paradise proposed a deal to him. He offered double the price to buy his life and the information of the person who posted the task from Lost Paradise, and Xie Yuheng agreed.

In the following years, Xie Yuheng bought his life countless times, but this time he did not receive any news from Paradise Lost in advance. However, this does not mean that Bal's target is definitely not him.

After all, the people in Paradise Lost are a bunch of desperate criminals, and talking about reason and trust with them is the most foolish thing.

Xie Yuheng's response to Xie Xuan was a transfer of 200,000 federal coins.

"Deposit. We need to borrow your place until Xie Shu wakes up. We will leave in three days at the latest. The remaining 800,000 will be given to you after we leave."

Xie Xuan looked at Xie Yuheng and had never thought that he looked so pleasing to the eye.

"No problem." Xie Xuan agreed without hesitation, "But there is only one bed in my house..."

"You sleep on the floor." Xie Yuheng interrupted Xie Xuan directly, "Me too. Giving up your bed to the injured is a basic virtue you should possess."

Xie Xuan choked and said, "I mean I can go out and get a room."

Xie Yuheng's expression was filled with a hint of sarcasm. "Why do you think I have to squeeze into your small apartment? I need someone to protect us, and you are a ready-made option."

Xie Xuan tolerated Xie Yuheng's bad attitude for the sake of money. "So you mean I have to stay with you guys every step of the way for the next three days?"

"That's not necessary," Xie Yuheng said. "After tomorrow morning, you can go and do your own things."

Xie Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she really had to serve this mean and vicious employer for three days, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist killing and robbing.

Compared to this, the merely stingy Chongming could be awarded the title of best employer.

The highest-configuration new energy vehicle produced by Noah Technology is much faster than the light rail. When it was almost eleven o'clock, they had arrived at Xie Xuan's door.

Xie Shu's condition was much worse than when he got on the car. Now his limbs were all limp, but his torso was not affected at all.

When Xie Xuan and Xie Yuheng dragged Xie Shu into Xie Xuan's house with great difficulty, Xie Shu's limbs had completely lost their shape. He hung limply on the ground without any support, like a doll with its cotton inner core taken out.

If Xie Shu's chest wasn't still rising and falling slightly, Xie Xuan even thought that she could directly ask colleagues from the logistics department to come and collect Xie Shu's body.

"Do we really not need to go to the hospital?" Xie Xuan frowned.

"We just came out of the hospital." Xie Yuheng was still in the mood to joke.

Just as Xie Xuan was about to say that she was serious about her suggestion, she saw Xie Yuheng unzipping Xie Shu's clothes.

Just when Xie Xuan was about to look away, she saw a device of unknown purpose embedded in Xie Shu's pale skin, right at the stomach.

Xie Yuheng put his terminal on this device, and a translucent interface popped up on the awakened device, which was full of nouns that Xie Xuan could not understand.

Xie Yuheng clicked a few times and verified his fingerprint on the device again. The interface retracted and the device lit up with a yellow light.

"What is this?" Xie Xuan asked.

Xie Yuheng didn't look back, his eyes fell on Xie Shu, "Suppression device."

Xie Xuan wanted to ask more, but fine lines of different colors began to appear under Xie Shu's pale skin exposed. These fine lines spread outward from Xie Shu's stomach and quickly extended to Xie Shu's limbs.

As these fine lines spread, Xie Shu's limp limbs regained their shape like a doll stuffed with cotton.

Xie Xuan was stunned. "Is this his special ability?"

"Almost." Xie Yuheng looked a little tired as he bent his knuckles and touched his brow.

"Xie Shu's ability allows him to devour bacteria to repair himself, and the function of this inhibitor is to allow him to only swallow, not eat, like a steel wire around Osprey's neck."

Xie Xuan was stunned. "So the purpose of your appearance at Taikang Hospital is..."

Xie Xuan couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment, so Xie Yuheng kindly added the second half of the sentence, "Hunting. I'm the fisherman who releases the osprey, and Xie Shu is responsible for bringing back enough fish for me."

This description is quite apt, but there is still a problem.

"What do you want these bacteria for?"

Xie Yuheng chuckled, "The more people know, the faster they die."

Xie Xuan silently repeated the number 800,000 three times in her mind, temporarily tolerating Xie Yuheng's annoying personality. "So you are now asking Xie Shu to consume some of the bacteria to repair his own body."

"A large part." Xie Yuheng corrected Xie Xuan's statement.

After knowing that Xie Yuheng had worked in vain this time, Xie Xuan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Xie Yuheng glanced at her and said, "Your gloating is too obvious."
