Chapter 87. Act II 3 Jacobins(1/2)
At this time, there are not many people still staying in the hotel lobby. Operators who maintain good living habits will wash up and go to bed on time. Guys who like to be night owls are looking for a good place to enjoy the long night tonight.
Zhou Jinru handed the plate to the passing waiter, and walking towards him was Tian Huo, a researcher wearing a coat. She stretched out her hand to cover her lips, and she could hardly open her eyes.
"Doctor, you really don't want to go to my room. We have a lot of things to do."
Zhou Jinru laughed, leaned forward, and whispered in Tianhuo's ear: "Tell me, how high will your body temperature rise?"
"Is it really rude of you to ask that, or can I take this as a hint?"
"No, of course not."
Zhou Jinru stood up straight, with a faint smile on his lips: "Actually, I'm worried about getting burned. If you can control your body temperature and stop burning clothes, maybe I will be happy to listen to your stories all night long."
Miss Feilin glanced sideways at the man next to her: "I thought you would pounce on me."
"have a good rest."
Zhou Jinru walked past Tianhuo without answering, and came to the corner of the lobby, where the energetic Ambiel was watching a movie, holding a bucket of snacks in his hand, and taking a sip of Victoria's specialty drink from time to time.
"Doctor, let's watch together."
The little angel moved her body to make way for a seat. When Zhou Jinru sat down, she handed him the bucket of snacks, leaving only a drink for herself.
Zhou Jinru had no intention of watching the plot of the movie, so he grabbed a handful of puffed food and put it in his mouth. He looked at the screen and asked, "When did Frost Star come?"
"Soon after you came back, doctor, her body temperature was very low. To me, it was as obvious as a light in the dark."
"Where's Skyfire?"
"Miss Tianhuo...she and Miss Froststar came at the same time. Anyway, there is not much difference in between."
Zhou Jinru responded, and his suspicion was verified. Although Shuangxing used Rhode Island's special injection, she had been infected for a long time, and the petrification of the source of the disease had been affecting her body, so much so that she would unconsciously release the source.
The stone skill lowered the surrounding temperature. However, after her arrival, the people active in the hall did not feel uncomfortable, indicating that the temperature effect brought by the frost star has been neutralized. Among the operators present, there is no one with this ability.
Yes, it is the sky fire.
That's why I asked Tianhuo if she could control her body temperature. Judging from her expression and what she said next, it shouldn't be possible so far... Zhou Jinru thought about it for a long time and felt that the arrival of Frost Star should be observed for a while.
If Tianhuo doesn't say anything, he must have a grudge in his heart, and Chen and Xingxiong of Longmen don't express it for their own sake, so they may not have other opinions.
He looked around and found that there was only a drink held by Ambiel, and there was nothing else to drink around.
The pink-haired angel noticed Zhou Jinru's movements and said calmly: "I'm ready."
As she spoke, she took out another straw, inserted it into the cup, and handed it to Zhou Jinru next to her, not caring about his gradually stiffening expression.
I know that you Rutlanders are unrestrained, passionate and romantic, but this is too romantic. Two people drinking a drink, isn't this a treatment only for couples... Zhou Jinru took the drink from Ambiel, and it was not okay to drink.
Not even if I don’t drink. I didn’t know how to respond for a while.
This was prepared by Ambiel, which meant that she had wanted to do this for a long time and had never found a suitable opportunity before.
Zhou Jinru understood in his heart and remembered a joke he had seen a long time ago. A boy liked a girl. Although the girl also liked the boy, she was very reserved. As a result, she was overtaken by her passionate girlfriends in a fancy way. This is called uncommunicable love.
There is a word called White Album, and there is a word called Uniform Sorry.
"It's too little. I drank it in one gulp. I'll get another glass."
Zhou Jinru reached out and pulled out the straw, stood up and left, leaving Anbil alone to continue watching the movie.
Until his back was far away, Ambiel lowered her head, her hanging pink hair covering her entire face, and she sighed in a low voice: "It's obvious that your heart is already moved, why did you retreat at the critical moment?"
…
…
"It's getting more and more difficult to deal with. If this continues, sooner or later it will become a Rhode Island survival guide. If Kelsey helps me, it should be much easier. They will also be more restrained. If I promise one, I must promise another."
One, doesn’t this force me to be a scumbag?”
Zhou Jinru quickly fled back to his room, not daring to stop on the way for fear of killing another female donor.
I took off my coat and hung it on the hanger, turned off the light, lay down on the soft big bed, stuffed my ID card under the pillow, closed my eyes, and relaxed my body and mind. I don’t know how long it had passed before I heard a loud noise in my ears.
He opened his eyes and it was daytime.
The sunlight penetrates through the thick and large clouds, leaving only a little warmth when it reaches the ground, and the cold wind blows away.
"There is no hint at the beginning of the sitcom, indicating that the plot is still in the second act."
Zhou Jinru stared at the cold coffee in front of him. He was sitting in a convenient restaurant. In addition to providing quick meals for workers, the restaurant also provided a decent and elegant environment for customers in need.
He grabbed the cane leaning against the wall, looked at the lockers not far away, pondered for two seconds, stood up and left without encountering any obstruction.
"I can regard myself as a normal person, with a life track and a code of conduct. If it were not a sitcom, I would still do some things."
Zhou Jinru stood at the door of the convenience restaurant and looked at the carriages passing by one after another. Although he had ridden in Xingxiong's steam vehicles, those were really rare. In this era, carriages were more commonly used.
"If I were a normal customer, my coat would be left hanging in the locker by the waiter, including my cane, but the reality is that I have it all with me, and if I'm not having a coffee on a whim, I know
Whatever happens nearby, personal belongings are not separated for better mobility."
Respectability, respectability, respectability, Victorians value respectability very much.
Zhou Jinru held his cane and waited on the side of the road for a few minutes. Soon, a running carriage drove quickly from one end of the long street. The driver was a young man with short red hair. He was wearing a dark vest and a collar.
Bow tie, her back was against the carriage carriage, a pair of riding boots stepped on the pedals, and her hands kept flapping the reins to make the two pack horses pulling the carriage run faster.
"Who is this?"
"Guy Connell."
At some point, Adela, who was wearing a long gray cloth dress, stood beside him, her eyes following the speeding carriage. She didn't look back until the latter could no longer be seen.
Zhou Jinru was greatly surprised. He had thought about what he was here to do, but he never thought that he would be related to the heroine.
Adela said with a sullen face: "You violated the rules. The place we agreed to meet was inside, but you ended up standing outside."
"Then you should not talk to me. Meeting and communicating outside of the agreed place will easily arouse suspicion."
What Zhou Jinru means is, don't talk about me, and you don't act according to the rules.
Adela was silent for a long time, and was about to say something more when a loud noise suddenly came from the convenience restaurant behind her, as if something exploded, shattering the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, and broken glass shards were carried by the surging air waves.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Jinru stretched out his arm to grab Adela's shoulder, moved his feet, and used his back to block the splash caused by the explosion.
Coincidentally, the umbrella held by Adela passed from his side and opened with a bang. The next second, the sound of hitting the umbrella continued to be heard.
"Should I say thank you?"
"up to you."
Zhou Jinru responded, and he suddenly discovered something. Two years ago, Adela was still a weak girl with no power to bind a chicken, and she was slightly taller than the others. Two years later, she had grown into a woman with
A mysterious person with a certain fighting ability.
It seems that this plot will not be peaceful.
"Come with me."
Adela pulled his arm, but found that the man stood motionless.
The girl asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jinru said a line that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Who are you?"
This is in line with his status. So far, he is still the valet of the Yinhui family. For the sake of the master, he should be cautious.
Adela raised her eyebrows: "Do you know you are wasting your time? Well, if you insist, I can tell you that I am now the housekeeper hired by Shivaash's family."
What?!
Zhou Jinru was stunned. He hadn't met Yin Hui yet and didn't know Yin Hui's identity, but Adela's words pointed to Yin Hui, as if he was the big boss behind the scenes.
In other words, are they our own people?
Since he is one of his own and has an intersection with the heroine, why is he still a passerby?
Zhou Jinru took a deep look at Adela, stopped a carriage, reported his address to Shivaash's house, and the coachman took them to their destination.
Finally arriving at Shivaash's mansion again, it was still as quiet as two years ago. It wasn't until the two of them stepped into the door that they saw a man wearing a black woolen coat with his back to them.
"I heard there were some accidents on the road?"
It was indeed an accident. If Zhou Jinru had not come out early, he would probably have been affected by the explosion. If it was more serious, it would have killed him directly.
"Mr. Shivaash, haven't you made a decision yet?"
The man in a black woolen coat turned around. Silver-white haired Shiva Ash had a pair of calm eyes. He scanned Zhou Jinru's body first and then replied: "This is something that people have to think deeply about."
, I need more time to think.”
"Mr. Shivaash, we don't have much time. For the sake of this city, this country, and more people, we should show our due courage!"
Zhou Jinru didn't speak. He could tell that Adela seemed to be trying to get Yin Hui to join something, but Yin Hui never agreed.
"Miss Adela, I respect you very much and wish your great ideals to be realized, but these are too risky for me, and it is not suitable for you to continue taking action now."
He said no more and stared at Adela.
"You are right, we should be more cautious. Goodbye."
The heroine was silent, slowly lifted up her long skirt and saluted, walked a few steps backward, turned and left.
