Chapter 158 Chapter 156 Crowded Together

Morgana slowly raised her head, her long eyebrows furrowed inward. She said to Zhuang Xuteng with some displeasure: "What exactly do you want to say? Do you like my smell?"

"Uh... I'm not... I'm..." Zhuang Xuteng suddenly became stuttering, and he found that what he said before was indeed a bit ambiguous. In this narrow space, the two people were close together, and every move could clearly feel the contact and friction of the body. In the state of three flashes, the ability of touch was enhanced, and Morgana's figure seemed to be magnified. Although separated by clothes, Zhuang Xuteng was able to distinguish the details, it was like...

Wait, why am I still using three flashes?

Zhuang Xuteng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retracted his attention, and ended the three flashes that started from jumping into the well.

Morgana's body fragrance was no longer obvious. It seemed that the rash behavior in the sense of smell just now was related to the supercomputing martial arts-it not only strengthened the tactile nerves of the skin, but also exerted an influence on the sense of smell. But the attraction from Morgana did not decrease because of the decrease in sense of smell. As long as she was close to him, Zhuang Xuteng would not be able to feel it...

"Sorry, it's the air here that has an effect." Zhuang Xuteng forced himself to calm down and behave professionally in front of the client. This is what a mercenary should do. "Holy Light Witch, the actual combat environment is often different from the training. I didn't perform well just now, but I won't be like that now."

"Well, that's more like it." Seeing Zhuang Xuteng's calm expression, Morgana was not happy at all. She moved her body slightly, rubbed a few times, and secretly observed at the same time. She saw that Zhuang Xuteng looked nervous and obviously showed a state of trying to restrain himself. Well, she got the information she wanted, so she said, "Okay, I'm standing firm. How are you?"

"I'm fine." Zhuang Xuteng coughed twice because he found that his voice had become hoarse and unclear. He cleared his throat, took a break, and after returning to normal, he said, "I can stand with both feet, and my back is against the wall. According to our plan..."

"I'll rest for a while, you hold me up." Morgana closed her eyes, put part of her weight on Zhuang Xuteng, and then tried to sleep. The two of them had to hold on until three or four in the morning, more than nine hours from now on. Only by taking turns to rest could they ensure that they had sufficient physical strength for the action.

"Rest assured." Zhuang Xuteng adjusted his body posture and supported Morgana more. If he was not in a vertical well, he would have let Morgana lie on him.

The condensed mist rose from the outer wall of the pipe under his feet, and met with the occasional snowflakes from the well in the air. The sound of passing cars and pedestrians gradually decreased, and Morgana's breathing became clearer and clearer. Now, regardless of whether there was a three-flash, Zhuang Xuteng could kiss Morgana's hair as soon as he lowered his head, so the smell was quite clear and it was impossible to pretend that it did not exist.

As a normal man, Zhuang Xuteng would definitely react, but he knew very well that everything else except professional behavior was wrong.

Wrong, wrong, wrong... Zhuang Xuteng kept reminding himself. If it weren't for the current occasion, he felt that it would be right to look at or even smell Morgana more, after all, she was young, beautiful, and healthy... Uh, why does it feel like picking the best mealworms on the farm?

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and threw the idea of ​​mealworms out of his head. He felt that the harder he tried to avoid something, the more his mind would think about it, and his heart would be more confused. It's better to think clearly, understand, and form a conclusion. Only in this way can you put aside your future fantasies temporarily and focus on the work at hand.

Do you have a good impression of Morgana? Of course there is, and there are quite a few. Morgana is a decisive person, especially towards traitors. The character and action she shows are something that Zhuang Xuteng admires very much. What about her daily personality? It seems a bit cold, giving people a feeling that it's hard to approach, but she doesn't discriminate or despise anyone, just a little proud of treating everyone equally.

After analysis, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao unanimously determined that Morgana joined PCPD not because of material needs in life, but because of spiritual needs such as interests and ideals. Judging from her various performances, she is definitely not short of money; and as a member of PCPD, she is not stingy with money when hiring Zhuang Xuteng and others. She probably has little idea of ​​the value of these money, just like a millionaire does not care whether buying an apple is 2.99 or 2.98 yuan.

This scares Zhuang Xuteng. He has no idea how to get along with a rich person, not to mention that this is a rich beauty. This is not a plot of "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore". Zhuang Xuteng is actually the same as Morgana in terms of self-confidence and pride, and this is exactly the area he can't grasp.

It's okay for two people to do tasks together and show professionalism together; if they go a step further and strengthen their connection in life, Zhuang Xuteng will not, because life always involves money. Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuteng sighed slowly, and he was much calmer. Even in the best case scenario - that is, if Morgana likes him - he lacks the capital and skills to get along well with her. From a professional point of view: now is not a good time, and there is a high probability that a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

Besides, the "best situation" now is completely based on fantasy and conjecture. Morgana has not said what she thinks. Maybe she just regards Zhuang Xuteng as an informant, friend and comrade-in-arms, and has no further intentions. Hmm... calmer.

Zhuang Xuteng adjusted his mood and began to focus on alerting the surrounding movements. Now that Morgana was pressing on him, Zhuang Xuteng felt a little tired, and the rest was to find ways to make her sleep as comfortably as possible, and nothing else. He controlled his center of gravity and posture, and remained motionless even if his body was stiff and his muscles were sore. However, he secretly summoned a few vengeful spirit servants and used super cache martial arts to transfer the fatigue and damage of his body to the servants. In addition to replenishing a little legion juice every half an hour, Zhuang Xuteng persisted.

Four hours later, Morgana's watch vibrated and woke her up. She slept soundly before, and she was a little dazed when she woke up. She stared at Zhuang Xuteng with her eyes, and it took her half a minute to figure out what was going on.

"I actually fell asleep, I'm sorry." Morgana's face was red for three seconds, but it was dark under the manhole cover and she couldn't see clearly. "It's your turn to rest. Are you tired?"

"Everything is as planned, no problem." Zhuang Xuteng adjusted his center of gravity, took the opportunity to stretch his arms and legs, and said: "Watch the time. If you haven't established contact with Dao Ge by 11 o'clock in the evening, wake me up immediately."

"Leave it to me. According to the plan, Dao Ge will be nearby at 10 o'clock. If we can contact each other smoothly, I won't wake you up until 1 o'clock in the morning. Right?"

"Absolutely right." Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly and said: "I turned off my hearing aids, otherwise I would definitely not be able to sleep. So if anything goes wrong, wake me up, slap me or pinch me, it's up to you."

Morgana thought that this should be responded with a frown, and then scolded Zhuang Xuteng for being disrespectful and unprofessional. But she just said in the end: "Don't talk nonsense, I know what I'm doing, you should go to sleep!"

Now it was Morgana's turn to support Zhuang Xuteng. At first, she thought it was interesting, but after a while, it became quite boring. Zhuang Xuteng was snoring softly beside her ear, and a stream of hot air blew towards her neck and ear roots, which was very itchy, but she couldn't scratch it because the space was narrow and her movements were restricted.

Before, she said that Zhuang Xuteng was sniffing her smell randomly, but now Zhuang Xuteng's smell was drilling into her nose. Hmm... It doesn't smell good, mainly because it is mixed with condensed steam, right? Morgana always felt that Zhuang Xuteng's smell was a bit damp and cold, and a bit evil, just like a cemetery after a heavy rain, and the water, mud and soil covering the corpse were missing a layer of soil that aroused excessive imagination and mixed together to form a strange smell.

Is it like this under the manhole cover? Morgana felt that she had learned something new. If it was in the cemetery, as soon as she smelled this kind of smell, her first reaction would be to use "holy light purification". Of course, no one would use holy light purification now. The divine arts of the Church of Light have been exhausted with the departure of the gods, and at most only some witchcraft combined with shadow slaves can be barely used.

Morgana has learned some witchcraft, but she has not shown any talent in the field of witchcraft. She is just an ordinary person. In fact, there is no harm in being an ordinary person. The legacy of the Holy Light Church is enough for everyone in the family to live a good life and choose their preferences and future paths at will. Morgana chose to become a PCPD, so she can be a PCPD with ease.

In fact, Morgana was disappointed with her life in the PCPD, especially the grenade thrown by the instructor in charge of training and examinations, which was a major blow to her beliefs. Relatively speaking, Zhuang Xuteng was an unexpected gain. Through the comparison with the mercenaries and the crackdown on the gangs, Morgana finally felt that the PCPD was somewhat useful and not completely rotten.

Just as Zhuang Xuteng was afraid of affecting Morgana's pride and making it difficult to get along with him, Morgana was also afraid that she would affect Zhuang Xuteng's pride. She knew that her circle of life was different from that of most people in the world, and she also knew that some behaviors that she thought were normal might be inappropriate and hurt others-she would definitely find this phenomenon if she observed carefully. So she chose to behave as conservatively and restrained as possible, saying less, doing less, and expressing less opinions.

Originally, she wanted to find a partner from the PCPD, observe and learn the behavior of the partner, so that she could do a good job in the PCPD. With a grenade, she became a lone ranger, and the target of observation and learning changed from PCPD to the mercenary Nike. From the bottom of her heart, she liked Nike very much, but she was not sure whether this kind of liking was the same as "that kind of" liking. She didn't understand it herself, and it was not easy to ask anyone - especially her family. Although no one would object to her becoming a PCPD, she was often laughed at by these people. Alas, it is said that it was like this when the gods were still there, and there is no essential difference now.

Without guidance, Morgana followed the way of getting along that would never go wrong: sincerity and caution. She would not reveal any background information that was not related to the topic - that is, say less; at the same time, she would not lie. Whether she didn't want to say it or couldn't say it, she would make it clear that she would not say it; if she decided to say it, it must be the truth.

The spirit leaf did hurt her family's industry and "stole" the only believers left after the gods left. The decline and death of divine magic, the gradual decline of the moral and comforting parts of the belief system, consumerism, money worship, and the quick comfort brought by spiritual leaf products have caused more and more people to stop listening to the words of the Holy Light.

The roles of priests and saints were replaced by TV programs that could repeatedly play audio and video images. The so-called spiritual counseling and comfort could also be achieved by making phone calls, following the digital instructions to select requirements, and finally listening to the "gospel" in a self-service form. Such a large church, without the people who need to serve, will be deserted. The wealth is still there, but the job is gone. The profession of saint has died, and only witches are left.

However, Morgana is the only witch who has changed her career to become a PCPD since ancient times. Morgana is still a little proud of this. She looked at Zhuang Xuteng and snorted softly, thinking to herself: If it was during the Holy Light Church period, would you have the chance to lie directly on the saint? If you don't pass the layers of assessment and become a knight of the church, you can't even touch my hand!

The watch vibrated, and Morgana withdrew from her thoughts. She knocked the watch on the wall to turn off the alarm and woke Zhuang Xuteng up.

"It's 1 o'clock, it's time to wake up." Morgana patted Zhuang Xuteng's face.

Zhuang Xuteng immediately adjusted his posture and moved his hands and feet. He then turned on the headset and connected to the communication. Due to the obstruction of the manhole cover, the communication strength was slightly lower, and there was some noise, but it was still audible. After completing these, he looked into Morgana's big eyes and said, "I haven't slept so well for a long time. Thank you for your hard work."

"Are you cold? Are your muscles stiff?"

"No problem, better than I expected." Zhuang Xuteng used his toes to push against the wall, then raised his arms and tried to lift the manhole cover. He would not really lift the manhole cover, but just try the feel. "Well, it's really no problem. Now we just have to wait for the target to come."

"I'll adjust myself and get ready." Morgana's task was also very tense. She had to seize the short time after Zhuang Xuteng climbed out and grabbed the bottom of the car, find the manhole cover on the side, pull it back, and try to reduce the sound of collision. She and Zhuang Xuteng finally confirmed the direction of movement after lifting the manhole cover, and then simulated their own movements at that time. During this period, there was inevitable friction between each other, but neither of them thought much, just very professional behavior.

If Zhuang Xuteng or Morgana said at this time: "You have a good figure..." Maybe they would not know how to meet in the future.

Time passed by minute by minute. Sometimes the two of them faced each other, and sometimes they looked up at the manhole cover together. It was not known whether to say that time passed too slowly or too quickly. At about two o'clock, Dao Ge, who was watching outside, sent a message that the truck had appeared.

"I didn't predict it correctly, but fortunately some things didn't change." In fact, the four people had predicted the route the truck was coming, but the direction they thought was most likely was now proven to be wrong. Ge Gongdao said in the communication: "It's up to you, get ready. Otter takes over."

Ge Gongdao was responsible for driving and guarding the way, while Otter disguised himself as the beggar Zhuang Xuteng and stared at the gate of the frozen fish factory, thus providing the most critical time for the people under the manhole cover to act.

After a while, Otter issued an order, asking Zhuang Xuteng to listen to the sound, and when the door opened, the car was about to come out.
