On a rainy day, a group of people were sitting in a house, bored, looking at the drizzle outside through the bamboo curtains.

"It's so boring. There's nothing to do recently." One of the people inside yawned lazily.

"Yeah, the world has been so quiet in the past month." The woman with bright red nails next to her also said something.

She looked at her nails, then raised her head and said, "Especially here."

"Oh, isn't it good to have nothing to do?" A little boy with a baby face next to him was happily painting a fan.

He painted a particularly beautiful white fox on the fan, which could be said to be very lifelike.

After he put down the last stroke, he carefully examined it and then smiled with satisfaction.

"It looks good, doesn't it?"

The woman stretched her neck to look at the fan for a while, then nodded nonchalantly, "Well, it's OK."

"Hey, Ah Ying, don't say that." A gentle-looking man next to her coughed twice and said, "All this is still because of that woman."

Before that woman appeared, Jiangnan was actually in a state of internal strife between two forces, and everyone wanted to fight each other at that time.

Ordinary people could even often hear the sound of someone running around on the roof at night. They had become accustomed to it and just buried their heads in the quilt and ignored it.

Until that woman appeared...

the whole Jiangnan suddenly became silent.

The people who were fighting each other before suddenly stopped fighting in a second. They were just like a group of monkeys fighting each other in the mountains, scratching the face of another monkey because of a peach or two.

Suddenly, a tiger appeared in the mountain one day. The monkeys stopped fighting and carefully observed the tiger's movements.

"It's been a long time since the world has been so quiet. I'm still not used to it."

The woman with red nails finally gave up her nails.

She looked out the window and said, "Sometimes I feel that it's okay for the underworld to remain quiet like this, but... we at Huacilou are begging for food in the chaos. If we continue to be quiet like this, I'm afraid we will become a place selling fans."

"The fans I paint are also very beautiful!" The baby-faced man smiled and said, "If I really paint fans, I will definitely not let you starve to death!"

"...Thank you."

The place where they were staying was the largest intelligence organization in the underworld - Huacilou.

As everyone knows, Huacilou not only accepts work from intelligence organizations, but also assassination work.

Of course, in terms of assassination, the competition in the underworld is too fierce, so Hua Ci Lou is most famous for their intelligence project, claiming that "they know everything about anyone in the underworld from birth to death."

But this myth has been broken in the past few months.

All because of that woman.

"It's just that Sister Ying, if the boss hears what you said, he will be angry again. He always says not to say that you have nothing to do recently, because if God hears this, he will believe it and then cause us a lot of trouble." The baby-faced man said with puffed cheeks.

"The boss is always particularly serious about this kind of thing." The sickly man laughed.

"Well, if this continues, we should just disband..." Before the woman with red nails finished her words, she heard a stern rebuke from outside.

"What are you talking about?"

After that voice sounded, everyone in the room stopped their actions at the same time.

The baby-faced man stopped drawing the fan, and the coughing man stopped hammering his chest.

There has been no news about the boss since he went out last night. Given Jiangnan's recent quiet state, they thought they would not see the boss this week. Who would have thought that the boss would come back so soon.

A person appeared in the room. He was like a gust of wind. No one could see how he suddenly appeared here. He was there in the blink of an eye.

He was wearing a tight suit that was easy to move in, with two curved knives tied to his waist.

When the other people in the room saw the man's appearance, they all showed incredible expressions, because the man would only dress like this when something serious happened.

What happened?

"Everyone, go out." The man said.

He looked around the room.

"Now, we have something to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people in the room looked at each other, and the woman finally smiled.

"It seems that you are quite accurate in what you say sometimes, boss."

The baby-faced man flipped out a mask from the side. On the mask was a face that he had drawn himself, which looked like a devil.

He put the mask on his face, and the smile on the corner of the mouth of this boy who originally looked as cute as a baby became bigger and bigger.

He smiled happily, like a child about to go out for a trip, but slowly, this smile even looked a little bit evil.

"Don't get too excited, what we are doing this time is definitely not a small matter." The sickly man next to him reminded him.

He looked at the boss in front of him. He had only seen this expression on the man's face twice, and both times were major events that shocked the martial arts world.

The two guys next to him were newcomers and didn't know much about this man, but only he knew that once this expression appeared, they would not have peace for the next six months.

Before leaving, the sickly man asked, "What exactly is going on this time?" "

Don't ask, go quickly." The man didn't say much, just answered like this.

At the same time, the same thing was happening in countless corners of the martial arts world.

That night, those who were used to hiding in the dark came out in droves, and the sound of footsteps on the rooftops was heard again in Jiangnan, which had been quiet for a long time.

"Boss, why are there so many people today?"

The woman with red nails was a little surprised.

Although she had a vague feeling during the day that this might be a big deal, she didn't think too much about it.

But when she looked at the people running in the night tonight, she suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be far beyond her initial imagination.

This looks like... it looks like the people from Huacilou are out in force.

No way?

The woman thought her idea was a bit ridiculous. After all, although Huacilou is not a very serious sect, this organization has a great reputation in the martial arts world.

How could someone let their organization go out in force? Even if the leader of the martial arts world got into trouble, there wouldn't be such a big fight, right?

Oh, yes, she forgot that when the former leader of the martial arts world got into trouble five years ago, they had received the news three days in advance, so on the day of the accident, they only sent people who could observe the progress of the matter, and the rest of the people stayed in place to drink tea and wait.

"Boss, what exactly is going on? Tell us the bottom line in advance." The woman said to the man who had been silent in front of her.

"Why are there so many people? Could it be that all the people from all the Huacilou in Jiangnan have been dispatched?"

When the woman said this, she was actually a little teasing.

How could this be the same as she said?

Before this thought flashed through her mind, she heard the man next to her say, "Of course not all the people in the Huacilou in Jiangnan."

"It's all the people in the Huacilou in Jianghu."

Feng Jing was bored in the middle of the night, leaning on the window to look out, and suddenly she felt as if she was a little dizzy. She seemed to see a few dark shadows running over the roof from a distance.

"What is that?" She frowned and said, "It feels like... a person."

This year just appeared in her mind, and she quickly denied it with a smile.

How is it possible? It's the middle of the night.

The speed of the shadow is quite exaggerated, it really "whoosh" passed by, her Li Xiaoqi didn't run that fast when he was snatching snacks, it must be an illusion.

She closed the window early, and therefore... missed many "black shadows" that passed over the distant rooftops.

Feng Qing went downstairs, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she found that Li Qi and Chu Xiaobai were all lying in front of the window, staring intently, and she didn't know what they were looking at.

But their backs were particularly interesting, especially Chu Xiaobai's eager eyes, which reminded her of a famous cat-head emoticon.

"What are you doing?" Feng Qing asked. The two people with their backs to her turned their heads sharply after hearing the voice. Feng Qing found it quite fresh, "What interesting things are you looking at?"

"No, nothing."

"If there's nothing, why are you looking at it so intently? By the way, where's An Huo?" Feng Qing didn't take what they were looking at seriously.

"She... doesn't want to disturb you, so she plans to work hard on her own tonight."

Oh, the little girl has made progress, Feng Qing thought.

Before, An Huo always bothered Feng Qing. Sometimes she didn't dare to sleep alone in the middle of the night, and she always asked Feng Qing to accompany her. Feng Qing was afraid that she would develop bad habits, so she would reluctantly refuse every time.

Unexpectedly, the little girl actually tried to sleep by herself today. She was so well-behaved, and she was a little more successful than yesterday.

"Not bad." Feng Qing said, "By the way, Xiaobai, did you see the pajamas I bought for you this morning? Remember to wear that when you go to bed at night in the future."

After she said this, she saw Chu Xiaobai's face suddenly turned red, and hesitantly said, "How can I wear that!"

"Why can't I wear it?" Feng Qing said.

She even picked out the expensive ones on purpose.

Chu Xiaobai had been here for such a long time, and he was diligent in calculating the bills every day. She thought this child was very serious, so she went to Taobao to buy him a set of pajamas as a gift.

It was a particularly cute one-piece suit, in the style of a little dinosaur, with two pointed ears on the head and a dragon tail on the butt.

When it first arrived yesterday, Feng Qing gestured to Xiaobai for a long time, but every time she wanted to put it on Xiaobai, he would run away.

"Well, that piece of clothing won't do! It's not suitable for me at all!" Chu Changzui raised his little fist to express his strong protest.

What a joke!

After all, he is the most outstanding disciple of Guigu Sect, the suave Chu Changzui! How can he wear clothes like that!

"Look at this kid, he's just like me when I was little." Feng Qing looked at Chu Xiaobai's sad face and couldn't help but recall her childhood. She

didn't know if it was because children's aesthetics were a little off. At that time, Feng Qing didn't think she was good-looking at all. Her favorite things were her mother's high heels and lipstick.

But when Feng Qing grew up, she found that she was very cute when she was a child, but it was a pity that there were not many photos of her when she was a child.

Xiaobai is now at the cutest stage of his life. She plans to dress him up and take a few more photos to keep so that he will have no regrets in his life.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense, put it on for me quickly." Feng Qing's tone suddenly became cold. This tone was the tone her mother used back then, and it was very useful for scaring children.

Sure enough, after she saw what she said, Chu Xiaobai stopped moving instantly, raised his head and glanced at her quietly, then sat down again with a sullen look.

Look.

The naughty kid just behaved himself after being frightened like this.

...

In the darkness of night, the woman with red nails and others finally arrived at an open space hidden in the forest.

There were already a lot of people standing in the open space here, and at a glance, there were at least thousands of people.

Huaci Building is an intelligence department, and many people are unable to show up, but looking at the current situation, everyone who can get there has already arrived.

"How could it be..."

The woman with red nails stopped talking halfway, and she found that most of the people around her were confused like her, and it was obvious that most of them didn't know what had happened.

There was an older man standing in front of them. He was the owner of Huacilou in Jiangnan and was in charge of the affairs of the Jiangnan area.

The older man looked around at everyone around him. The woman with red nails always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Just when everyone was confused, the elder said to the people below: "You must be curious about why I called you all here? After all, it has been a long time since we last gathered together like this in Huaci Building."

"But today I called everyone here for one thing."

His tone was full of excitement.

"The old owner... is back."

The eyes of the woman with red nails suddenly widened.

"Huh?" The sickly man suddenly laughed, "This is interesting."

The crowd below, without exception, exploded instantly because of the words of the elder.

"How is it possible?"

"The old owner is probably more than 200 years old now?"

"Don't lie, how could the old owner come back?"

"I know you don't believe it." The elder said.

He pulled something out of his pocket, held it high, and said to everyone below, "But... this is the evidence!"

Under the moonlight, the thing was particularly dazzling, as if it emitted a dazzling light in an instant, and many people squinted their eyes slightly.

"What's going on?" someone said.

"What is it? In the moonlight, how can it... emit such a dazzling light!"

In the hands of the older man, a wrinkled business card emitted a strong plastic light under the moonlight.

The plastic light was reflected by the moonlight shining on the business card.

Looking closely, the thing that caused the reflected light seemed very familiar.

...It is a layer of plastic film.

The scientific name is plastic film, which is mainly used to protect some paper items and can also increase a little hardness.

Looking more closely, there are a lot of laser watermarks on it.
