The latest episode opens with the appearance of two new characters that have never been seen before. They are both very pretty and their names don’t sound like cannon fodder. The readers, who were overwhelmed by the prophet’s beautiful cover page, regained much of their sanity and began to think.
Cartoonists are very thrifty with frames and will not change the scene for no reason, nor will they waste so many frames on meaningless characters. The number of comments next to each frame represents the popularity and discussion of the comic.
This is Xiangjiang.
This was a private banquet of high standards.
In the extravagant banquet hall, the cartoon camera penetrates the out-of-focus crowd and focuses on a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit. Next to him stands a young man. The two are holding red wine glasses and talking to a man with gray eyes and thin lips.
The middle-aged man has a good appearance. Even at this age he does not look greasy or bloated. It can be seen that he pays more attention to maintenance and fitness.
Xie Jixing raised his chin, his attitude was somewhat casual and alms: "That's Guan Xiren and his eldest son Guan Hongchong, and the other one is the son of the consortium, Chris Lee."
Jiang Langyue lingered on the gray-eyed man for a few more seconds, showing no interest. "Oh."
Guan Xiren’s current wife came from the slums to the screen. She hates people mentioning her past the most, and she also looks down on Jiang Langyue’s background.
But Guan Hongyuan had been spoiled since he was a child and had a rebellious nature, so he insisted on bringing her to this private banquet.
But Guan Hongyuan regretted bringing her here. His mother watched her closely the whole night and she didn't dare to get close to this place. Jiang Langyue was also happy and comfortable.
The countries and cities in the comics are all fictional, emphasizing a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak.
The upper class makes the rules of survival, while the lower class of animals struggle to survive.
The upper class people in the banquet hall wore masks of false courtesy and smiled, discussing the plot in the comments:
[…Is this Xie here to provoke me? ]
[Oh my god, these two people are under surveillance, and they still dare to talk about it openly? ]
[Huh? ? Being watched? Why didn't I see it? ]
[Not to mention those far away, there were at least three people nearby watching them. ]
[One is a waiter in the southeast direction, one is a servant cleaning the railings upstairs, and there is a female companion who is not very noticeable. These three people have appeared three times in the previous grid. Although the crowd is out of focus, their heads are all facing this direction, which is very problematic.]
[I also noticed that the waiter passed by at least twice. ]
The details-oriented people in the comments were everywhere, and Li Xi went back and watched it again.
Wow! It really is! The two men have already exchanged several words, and the three passers-by are still staring at this side.
Xie Jixing took a sip of wine, lowered his glass, and said with a thorn in his voice: "I heard that you have had many boyfriends?"
"Not bad, about thirty or so?" Jiang Langyue looked up at the dazzling crystal chandelier on the ceiling, counted carefully with his fingers, and finally shook his head, "Sorry, I really can't remember."
"Are all these boyfriends dead?" Xie Jixing smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Jiang Langyue gave her a strange look and said, "If you want to die, then die. Don't delay my life."
The tone was like discussing insignificant garbage, which was an indirect admission.
Li Xi was secretly shocked. More than thirty of his ex-boyfriends were dead, so it was hard to say that he had no relationship with this girl.
The cartoonist has laid the groundwork in previous updates. The organizations and forces in "Law of Night Watch" are intricate and complex. Especially in Hong Kong, there have always been many gangs, and there are various families behind them. Most of these chaebol families have close ties with the consortium.
Jiang Langyue had only one goal from beginning to end, which was to survive in the comic world.
Li Xi suddenly admired her a little.
Compared to other cities such as Tonghua City, the class divisions in Hong Kong are more distinct. With the advent of the world of ghost stories, rich people can easily frame human lives with ghost stories and weirdness. Everyone is in danger. Jiang Langyue is actually living a pretty good life, except that he is a little exhausted from his ex.
As they were chatting idly, Guan Hongchong in the crowd suddenly turned around.
He raised his red wine glass and gestured towards them, and Xie Jixing also raised his glass leisurely in his direction.
Li Xi exclaimed, these two people seemed to know each other, and they looked quite familiar?
Seeing the interaction between the two, Jiang Langyue suddenly remembered that Guan Hongyuan once said that his elder brother Guan Hongchong’s fiancée was the sister of a senior member of the Superpower Union, and her surname seemed to be Xie.
The marriage between the Guan and Xie families was intended to win over the powerful Psychic Union, and of course there was also the instigation of the consortium behind it.
I heard that this fiancée has been in the mainland all year round, and the eldest son of the Guan family doesn't like her. She is constantly involved in gossips about her, but the Xie family has never intervened.
The discussion in the barrage never stopped.
[Rational discussion: Do they know they are being monitored? ]
[You should know that these two people used wine glasses to cover their mouths during several conversations, probably because they were afraid of being lip-read. ]
[Knowing that there were so many people, he still approached them openly. I admire you. 】
[If we don’t talk in public like this, it would be even harder to explain in other situations. ]
[Just now, Xie Jixing didn't block the conversation when he asked Jiang Langyue how many boyfriends she had changed. If I were the observer, I would think that Xie Jixing looked down on Guan Hongyuan's new lover and came here to find fault and please his future mother-in-law. This would also create a proud and tricky personality.]
【Sodesga! 】
Li Xi gave a like to this comment.
Xie Jixing bit a piece of ice, making a crackling sound.
As she crushed the ice, the people around her seemed to become illusory.
Xie Jixing's voice was tinged with laughter. "Who doesn't want to live? It's a pity that you've been targeted."
This sentence seemed like an illusion, as if it did not appear in the ears, but in the mind. Until there was a popping sound of bubbles, Jiang Langyue woke up again. Xie Jixing had already left with the wine glass and walked towards the dance floor at Guan Hongchong's invitation.
Jiang Langyue frowned slightly, feeling somewhat offended and unhappy, and clenched the red wine glass in his hand.
Until the end of the banquet, Guan Hongyuan did not come to see her, but sent his driver to take her back to the rental house.
Because of Xie Jixing's words, Jiang Langyue was keeping an eye out for any suspicious people around him along the way.
It really made her feel that there was something wrong with a few people.
Guan Hongyuan’s driver, his neighbor who has lived downstairs for more than 20 years, and netizens he met while playing games.
But there are too few clues at the moment, so she can't confirm who it is for the time being.
Back to the rental house, locked the door, Jiang Langyue kicked
