At 9:30 p.m., shortly after Hu Ying finished his dinner, he finally waited for his guest.

The visitor is a young man, thin, wearing a pair of glasses, carrying a silver suitcase.

Hu Ying invited the other party into the living room and took a seat, and poured a cup of tea. Since the house was tidied up in advance, the living room looked very neat and tidy.

After seeing the mannequin placed in the center, a trace of consternation appeared in the youth's eyes, and then he was busy lowering his head to drink water to hide his surprise.

"By the way, I want to do promotion for your company's dolls, advertising fees I can do without, just let me see the production process of your products ...... can? I am also considered a big up in X station, can make publicity ......"

If the company intends to recruit, Hu Ying may jump over, as long as it can contact the advanced process about the dolls, even as a bottom employee he is willing. Whether that company is famous or not, whether it is more promising.

The youth seems to have talked to Hu Ying will raise this matter, "This project we do not want too many people to know yet, and its price is not affordable for ordinary people, we take the high-end route."

Hu Ying was stunned, not expecting such a reply, and then he thought of the video he posted on the X website - since the other party wanted to keep a low profile, was it a bit noisy for him to make a video and make a big announcement?

Hu Ying was not too sure about the other party's attitude towards "making videos", "Then can I ask, what kind of company is your company?"

"Sorry, because of the relationship of competitors, it is not convenient to say ...... is not distrustful of you, but internal hard rules."

Not a single useful piece of information was obtained, Hu Ying looked gloomy and felt that his dream was one step further away from him.

"But Mr. Wang also saw your performance, if you really need publicity in the future, we will take the initiative to contact you."

"Really?"

"Mm."

Sensing a glimmer of opportunity, Hu Ying regained some of his spirit, and next he chatted with the youth for a while, and because of their similar age, they had many topics in common. But what disappointed Hu Ying is that, when it comes to the content of the dolls, the youth shut up, not to reveal a word.

Until 10:30, the youth said goodbye and left. He politely declined Hu Ying's invitation to stay overnight, put the dolls into a box and left.

Looking at the youth's disappeared figure from the window, Hu Ying remembered that he had not asked his name.

Many days later, Hu Ying found that the youth's phone number also became empty, he and the other party cut off contact.

Some time later, Hu Ying received a transfer of 10,000 yuan from an unknown source on his account, leaving him puzzled and happy for a long time, but of course, this is all an afterthought.

--------

-- ------

After leaving Hu Ying's house, the youth carried the suitcase with the dolls, walked out of the neighborhood, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and took a car to Yue Lin Square.

The city's famous business district is Yue Lin Square, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, no matter day or night, this place has always come and gone, traffic. The winding highway is surrounded by a tall flyover that crosses several roads.

It is also close to the university in H, so there are often college students from the neighborhood who come here for shopping or entertainment.

With his suitcase in hand, the young man walked into an Internet cafe.

The Internet cafe is very hot, the middle of the stereo playing popular songs, the noisy sound shocks people's eardrums. Looking in from the outside, almost all the machines were occupied, with flashing lights all over every corner.

Humans are herd animals, and clusters only feel safe after encountering danger. Such was the case with the youth at this time. He could have brought his suitcase to his rented house, but he was terrified that he would bring back a monster. So he reserved a place in advance in the busiest place nearby, the most popular Internet cafe.

He showed his ID to the receptionist and was led into a private room by the Internet manager. The private room was a common double room, with two computers and air conditioning. After the webmaster left, the youth closed the door and the sound of the outside world was suddenly reduced by 40 decibels.

With a nervous and wary mood, the youth unzipped the suitcase and observed the mannequin -

It was quietly curled up in the case, like an equivalently scaled hand-me-down, looking weak.

"No need to pretend, I know you can move." The youth said.

There was no movement.

"Let me guess your identity ...... you are also the 'author', right? And hostile to Ye Huai?"

"Where is Xu Fang?"

"You're working with Xu Fang?"

"How is Ye Huai?"

"You can't really not move, can you?"

"Hey, hey!"

Seeing that the youth's mood was becoming more and more unstable, Xu Fang stopped teasing him, got up slowly, and handed him a piece of white paper.

The youth, also known as Xu Tong, was busy taking the paper, unable to make a sound for a while.

...... can really move, it can't be a human, right?

Before the sight of contact, the doll twisted his head to avoid his gaze, just pointing down the paper in Xu Tong's hand.

Xu Tong looked down and saw that there was a small line of words on the paper.

[To tell you the good news, Ye Huai is dead, you are safe for now].

----

After using Xiao Zhe to scare off the K organization, Xu Fang's last problem was how to get out. Staying at Hu Ying's house all the time was not an option, he just wanted to get a full charge and go back to K City.

Xu Fang had two choices. One, kill Hu Ying and destroy the body, after Hu Ying disappears, K organization will flee farther. Two, leave quietly and without alerting anyone.

However, both options were ultimately rejected by Xu Fang. If Hu Ying was killed, the police would soon notice his disappearance and launch a search. The dolls that appeared on the Internet together with Hu Ying would also enter the police's attention, which would be extremely unfavorable to Xu Fang, who did not even have an identity.

If he left quietly, Hu Ying found out that the doll was missing, he would search for it everywhere and even call the police. At that time, if K organization reacts and contacts Hu Ying, Gussy's intelligence will probably be exposed.

So Xu Fang needs a helper.

Luo Xiaoming is too far away from him and does not necessarily remember Xu Fang, so the best remaining candidate is Xu Tong.

Apart from Xu Fang, Xu Tong is the only survivor who participated in the "Grievance Examination" - which is a bit surprising to Xu Fang.

In Xu Fang's original plan, Zhu Chengtao, Zhang Wanling, Yao Berry, Yue Yang, Xu Tong ...... and even Xu Fang's roommates ...... were to be sacrificed. And in fact those people were indeed killed by Ye Huai who had lost his wits, but Xu Tong was lucky to survive.

After checking Ye Huai's memory, Xu Fang found the reason: there was something wrong with the order of Ye Huai's killings.

If he were Ye Huai, he would have killed Xu Tong in H City first after killing Zhu Chengtao, and then take H City as the starting point to solve Yao Berry, Yue Yang, and finally Zhang Wanling in turn. Even if Zhang Wanling was under the protection of the BST, it would be difficult to escape the assassination, after all, the BST could not have sealed Zhang Wanling away.

This will be over in less than two days.

However, due to the fear of Zhang Wanling's force, or overly cautious, Ye Huai chose to prioritize the elimination of the most dangerous female assassin, which allowed him to detour some distance on the road, and by the time Ye Huai arrived in H City, Gussy had already been released.

Xu Tong currently does not understand what is going on, and going to Hu Ying's house is just acting according to Xu Fang's script. Although he didn't see where he could deal with Ye Huai, the way the "authors" fought with each other was not something that could be surmised by common sense.

"Ye Huai is dead? So it was Xu Fang who won?" He would doubt it.

[Yes, dead beyond belief, not even ashes left. A reply immediately appeared on the paper.

"Are you the one who is talking to me?" Xu Tong pointed to the loli doll in front of him - the other party turned on the computer and tapped the keyboard quickly, seemingly typing - did it communicate with him in this way?

Xu Tong seemed to have misunderstood something, in reality, Xu Fang was just writing a novel.

[Well, I can't talk yet, so I'll communicate with you in this way first].

The ability to make the paper automatically emerge from the font ...... can only be interpreted as a "supernatural function", right? After all, the "authors" are not ordinary people.

"So where is Xu Fang?"

[I am, what, you don't recognize me after changing body?

"Are you ......Xu Fang?"

doesn't look like a joke.

The "author" is a monster, right? He can even change his appearance at will!

[You must be thinking that I'm a monster, right?

"......"

Xu Tong was silent for a while and changed the subject: "Since it's over, you've defeated Ye Huai and I'm safe, let's part ways..." ...... ..."

[Huh, you're not curious about how I defeated Ye Huai? Not curious about that strange website?]

"I'm just an ordinary person." Xu Tong said, "It's better not to know some things, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Xu Fang's hand stopped tapping on the keyboard.

It was smart to suppress curiosity, not to ask questions, and even want to get out early. But after getting into Xu Fang's boat, I'm afraid Xu Tong's wish for a peaceful life will not be realized like a certain villain.

Since Xu Tong is alive, Xu Fang certainly wants to make good use of him, after all, Xu Tong is the only person who knows him in this world. Whether as a tool or a mouse, it can relieve Xu Fang of a lot of pressure.

Previously, due to the threat of Ye Huai, Xu Tong could only do as Xu Fang instructed to contact Hu Ying. And now, Xu Tong had to rely more on Xu Fang, because in the future, he was likely to be targeted by K Organization, and if he continued to live an ordinary life, he would probably die in vain.

[Xu Tong, as I said before, you are only temporarily safe, how about you read these contents first and then decide whether to go or not?

Xu Fang intended to tell him about the existence of Organization K.
