The next morning, a bright black Bentley drove to the dusty building in a special place, then the car stopped steadily, and Zhou Hui got out with the little Phoenix in his arms.

Zhou's boss has a motorcycle leather jacket, sunglasses, long legs, and he brings Hollywood blockbusters Micron and bgm wherever he stands. The difference is that today he is carrying a few shopping bags in one hand and a child in the other. He is about the size of five or six years old. The whole is wrapped in a Zhou Hui shirt, with a pair of adult sunglasses on his exposed face. , Because the frame is too big, it can only be hung diagonally on the face, as if there is a risk of falling off at any time.

The two guards at the door flashed countless Korean drama eight o’clock dog-blood speculations in their minds, and the gossip flashed in their eyes:

"Boss Zhou, this kid is yours..."

Zhou Hui solemnly said: "Call the fourth team leader."

The guard almost stared his eyes out of the window, and saw the group leader looking back blankly behind the sunglasses, tilted his head and said innocently:

"...Why?"

Zhou Hui carried the little phoenix all the way through the unit lobby and walked towards his office.

Following his footsteps, countless sorrows and joys and eccentric scandals centered on him, flying from all directions to every corner of 547 units, as fast as a 10tb per second optical fiber network signal. Before Zhou Hui stepped into the office, the two young men at his door put down their phones and looked at Xiao Fenghuang with surprised eyes:

"Boss Zhou, this is..."

Zhou Hui said: "The fourth group leader."

Zhou Hui walked into the office with his unbelievable gaze, and closed the door with a bang.

·

"Sit down, don't move, let's change clothes... Little Phoenix!" Zhou Hui carried the children's clothes and said with a headache: "Come back and sit down!"

As soon as Little Phoenix was placed in a tall armchair, she stomped down and started running wildly. The little sacred bird at this age has fully revealed the potential of being active and curious. Although Zhou Hui’s big shirt was dragged to the ground, which seriously affected the convenience of movement, the figure of the little phoenix was simply flying, and it was just a whistle. Flew from the office to the pantry, and flew from the pantry to the matching lounge. When Zhou Hui rushed over, he was trying to climb up the closet. Standing at the door, he could see his little butt. The climbing movement twisted and twisted.

"Little Phoenix!" Zhou Hui tried to hug him: "Don't climb, change clothes first!"

Little Phoenix loves heights almost instinctively, and immediately breaks away from Zhou Hui and starts to climb again.

Zhou Hui was so helpless, he tucked the little children’s clothes in his pockets, and forced the little phoenix with his hands to hold the little phoenix down on the big bed, his knees were vainly pressed to prevent him from breaking free, and he finally had a fight. The big shirt that doesn't fit is stripped off.

That was what Zhou Hui casually wrapped around him when he went out this morning. He hurried in the mall to open the door early in the morning and bought a few sets of children's clothes before he had a chance to change them at the office. Who knows that Xiao Fenghuang is very dependent on Zhou Hui's scent of clothes. While pushing Zhou Hui's hand to the best of his ability, she cried loudly, killing him and refusing to wear new clothes.

There was a lot of noise here, and the door of the outer office over there was pushed open. Yu Jingzhong probed in and said: "Comrade Zhou, people outside are saying that you are hooking up with Feng Si Hou on your back and you brought an illegitimate child to work..."

The voice stopped abruptly. Yu Jingzhong stared blankly at the little Phoenix, who was naked and crying on the big inner bed, and Zhou Hui, who was holding his clothes and pressing him down.

"This is not my illegitimate child! What are you doing? If you have something to say, I'm busy here!"

"..." Yu Jingzhong's entire three views were refreshed, and he shivered after a long while: "Zhou, Zhou Hui, you can't do this, this is illegal, it's too abnormal..."

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Zhang Shuncong Yu Jingzhong stuck his head out behind him: "I said Zhou Hui would not do...Zhou Hui! What are you doing?! You are something inferior to a beast!! !"

·

Ten minutes later, Zhou Hui covered his nose with a towel dipped in cold water, and let out a long breath while sitting on the sofa.

Little Phoenix finally put on the children's clothes, sat in his arms obediently, looking up at him eagerly.

"Zhang Shun, you are too impulsive. Always ask about the situation before you do it. Wan Zhouhui is not actually a pedophile..." Yu Fu suddenly realized that Zhou Hui's love for a child is really hard to say, so he touched his nose awkwardly Coughed: "...In case he is actually not doing what you imagined... It's always bad to rashly hurt people, don't do this next time."

Zhang Shun took up a whole sofa on the opposite side, pointed to his black eyes and asked with grief, "Then what do I say?!"

Yu Jingzhong comforted: "You were taught by your brother himself, what can I say?"

Little Phoenix immediately turned around and barked at Zhang Shun, threatening. If you dare to move Zhou Hui with a finger, I will teach you why Hua'er is so red.

The human world is so cruel. Zhang Ershao tried to defend his brother’s backyard smoothly to teach the boss Zhou, who was suspected of going out of the wall, but was immediately taught by his brother. The Buddha heart made of glass was suddenly broken into pieces. Piece by piece.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..." Zhou Hui hugged Little Phoenix and kissed again, carefully straightening out his messy temples, and said softly: "I'll discuss with Vice Yu. Things, can you go play it yourself first?"

Little Phoenix hugged Zhou Hui's neck and looked back at Zhang Shun, meaning if this person bullies you again?

Zhang Shun’s broken Buddha heart has a tendency to turn into powder. Zhou Hui quickly promised: “It’s okay, he won’t dare to be beaten by you. I really don’t dare. If he dares to come, I’ll be right. He's welcome, how is it?"

Zhang Shun's handsome face suddenly became dark, and he said that Zhou's surname was really not a good thing. He cheated my brother away so soon. It is really excusable for Sakyamuni to kill him... Damn, why didn't Shakya succeed? After all these years, I haven't killed this monster. It's not wrong to be killed by the weak force of the fake Buddha!

However, Xiao Fenghuang couldn't get the mental activities of the Buddha at all. Zhou Hui coaxed him for a long time before he nodded aggrievedly, was picked up and walked out of the office, and stared at Zhang Shun vigilantly before going out.

"My brother stared at me! He stared at me!" Zhang Shun grabbed Yu Jingzhong and said incredulously: "He has been completely deceived by Zhou Hui! He actually stared at me for Zhou Hui!"

"He just beat you Buddha for Zhou Hui." Yu Jingzhong comforted: "Just stare at it, you can always get used to it..."

·

Zhou Hui didn't want to hold Xiao Fenghuang upstairs, causing more people to watch, so he took him to Fengsi's office before.

Guoan's fourth team leader's office is a well-known restricted area and is directly accessible by an internal elevator. The reason why it is a restricted area is that when the Phoenix Mingwang occasionally visited the office to order the Mao, the old military leaders tremblingly came over to offer incense, make wishes, and ask for visas, so that the office was full of cigarettes and engaged in feudal superstition activities. Colors.

Although it has been useless for a long time, Yu Jingzhong often asks people to clean it, and the office is still very clean. The floor is covered with grey carpets, a row of large sofas against the wall, and a few pots of half-withered plants on the windowsill. Scriptures and a few tortoise shells were randomly thrown on the table-that was what Phoenix Ming Wang used to be boring before and used to pass time by calculating cause and effect.

Zhou Hui hugged Little Phoenix on the sofa, gave him a children's picture book bought from the children's clothing store just now, and smiled: "I'll pick you up in half an hour, okay?"

Little Phoenix rubbed her fingers, twisted her soft body, and nodded lightly for a while.

Zhou Hui stood up, stepped back and suddenly stopped again.

"This is...your former office. After Maha Scourge, we came to the human world and began to slowly help you repay your merits. After you joined the special office, your office was arranged here. We used to be in The door is closed here for a date..."

"Later, you were planting ginseng here, but Situ Yingzhi and Jiuweihu sneaked in and ate it. Turning back, you buried a carrot in the soil in an attempt to get through. After you found it, you chased it out. Inside..."

Little Phoenix stared at Zhou Hui blankly.

"Forget it." Zhou Hui laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember it. It's better to be happy than anything else."

He bent over and rubbed the soft and smooth hair of Little Phoenix, and kissed him again on the top of his head: "I'll be back in half an hour, you are good." He turned around and walked out and closed the door.

·

With a click, Little Phoenix looked at the closed door panel, his eyes full of doubt.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked around blankly.

The office of the team leader of Guoan Sixth Group has a personal style. For example, Zhou Hui's seemingly arrogant personality, but the office space is slick, mahogany tables, chairs and screens, and the universe is set under his own eyes. Be guarded at any time, and nothing goes wrong at critical moments. Although Wu Bei stayed in the northeast as the big brother of the underworld all year round, every time he went to Kyoto, he would bring some weird mana weapons of mass destruction. Over time, the office became a gun exhibition hall, and even Yu Fu sometimes sneaked in to steal some. Family out.

There are two wardrobes in Situ Yingzhi’s office, one is huge, and it is full of all kinds of big-name clothes and European high-end clothes, because it is too sloppy and is ridiculed by the goddess all the year round; the other is a small wardrobe It is locked all the year round, and has never been opened in front of a human face. In particular, it was once rumored that the wardrobe was actually a large refrigerator, stuffed with human flesh and plasma that was hoarded as food.

Later, Zhou Hui went in to investigate, and came out to secretly tell Yu Fu that it was actually humanoid skin—the zombie skin would no longer be usable after a period of time. The Third Secret had made several sets of "copper skin and iron bones", and prepared Replace it later when your skin is aging.

Shenwantenji’s office is polarized. The outside is an out-of-print animation and surrounding figure exhibition hall. The inside is constructed into small honeycomb-like spaces, all containing scripture holes, which are stored in a special constant temperature environment with static electricity. He wrote many precious scriptures, calligraphy and painting. According to reports, after the fifth deputy team leader Yangjin Phuntsok punished him, Shenwan Tiansi personally went to Tibet to copy his family property and transported them back to the office of a large number of Tibetan Buddhist treasures. He was called the number one hamster patient in the six groups of Guoan.

As for the nine-tailed fox, there is nothing to say, all kinds of clothes, dresses, jewelry, bags, no office area, in her words: "My existence is work!" In fact, her existence Sometimes it does add a lot of work to others...

Chu He's stay in Guoan was actually very short, and he made two mutinies in the middle, and the number of times he stayed in the office was even rarer. He seems to be the least caring about the office. It's all the normal environment. The bookcase, sofa and pantry, a tall flower stand by the window, and a wardrobe in the lounge, but much smaller than Situ Yingji’s, and there are only a few inside. Hanging a few shirts and two replacement casual suits.

Little Phoenix climbed to the top of the flower stand and looked down at the entire office.

The sunlight came in from outside the window, like a thin layer of golden gauze, flying in the quiet room, even the slight dust floating in the air was clearly visible.

The window ribs in the daylight cast vertical and horizontal light and shadow on the desktop, gradually moving and stretching with the sun. The armchair beside the desk was halfway open at random, empty, as if someone left and never returned.

An unspeakable strong emotion suddenly surged from the bottom of Little Phoenix's heart, as if it were deep water, it instantly flooded him.

So heavy, so cold.

For a moment, he even forgot to breathe.

Little Phoenix doesn’t know that this feeling is called loneliness. He doesn’t even know that the emotions that his own soul stayed here before are so strong that after a few years, the faintness has come to the present. In front of him.

He stared blankly at the armchair, and gradually felt a phantom floating in the air, sitting at the desk with his back facing him.

——That is a very good-looking man, even if he can't see his face from behind, just a back view can give people this clear feeling.

His sitting posture is tall and straight, with a white to almost transparent nape behind his jet-black hair, and his shoulders are naturally hanging slightly. The figure is thin, wrapped in a white robe, and the girdle is embroidered with a faintly complicated phoenix with dark white threads. Lines.

He leaned on the table and wrote something, and after a long while he finally put down his pen, sighed, and closed the notebook.

Little Phoenix was lying on the flower stand behind him, and it was hard to see that it was a very old and yellow thread-bound notebook. The cover was a faded dark blue, and it was written with three words-hug the dead. Zi, even the ink color has faded due to age.

The man threw the wire-bound notebook into the drawer, stood up, left the desk and walked towards the interior room.

The moment he turned around, Xiao Fenghuang finally saw his face, and for an instant he was a little dazed.

It’s not just because his face has an intricately carved and unspeakable beauty, like a work of art that can shine in the dark; it’s not because of the surge in his eyes that is suffocating. Yes, tolerate and restrain the sorrow.

It was because that face made Little Phoenix very familiar.

He knew that was his face when he grew up.

The man walked into the inner room, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the smooth and cold mirror surface, and let out a long and thorough breath.

In the next second, his face suddenly changed like he was wearing a mask, completely becoming another face!

Little Phoenix opened his eyes wide in amazement, and saw that his changed eyebrows and eyebrows were pale, his complexion was pale, and his lips were slightly chapped like blood loss; his facial bones were slightly misaligned, making his side face look kind of It feels flat and cool.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the expression in his eyes. Although even the shape of his eyes has changed, his eyes are as sharp and clear as before, and there is a heavy weight that is hard to detect.

The man unbuttoned his coat, and his white robe fell to the ground.

He just stood naked in front of the mirror, without a trace of expression, and took out the replacement clothes from the closet. It was a black suit open without a tie. Two buttons were slightly opened under the white shirt. It was worn by ordinary office workers. He picked up the card holder from the bedside table and put it into his pants pocket without wearing shoes. Standing on the floor with feet.

He looks like a different person, like a company executive who is about to go to work, his face is serious and uninteresting. Even if the closest person comes, he may not be able to recognize his true face.

"Are you ready, Your Royal Highness?"

Little Phoenix was taken aback, only to realize that there was another person in the inner room!

——I saw that it was a tall man with a black robe, leaning on the door frame, obviously a great demon of the Asura level. If the demon aura of the whole body had substance, a black flame-like shadow was exuding in the air. The cold aura made the little phoenix whose divinity had not fully recovered very uncomfortable, and immediately shrank from the flower stand.

I saw His Royal Highness Ming said lightly: "Okay, let's go."

"Are you going to tell your friends? You can't come back this time."

"No need."

Phoenix King walked out of the room and passed by Ashura.

Asura turned his head to see him walking to the door, bending over to change shoes, without turning his head back.

"Aren't you tired from being so cold all year round?" King Ashura touched his chin, and seemed to ask with interest: "I still can't let it go after getting used to it, even things that are destined to never go back. Don’t bother to say hello to others?"

Phoenix Ming Wang said: "What are you so interested in doing."

"Because I feel weird. The king of Phoenix, who has always been aloof, is as indifferent and self-closing as rumored, and is too lazy to say goodbye when he bids farewell-or does it feel unnecessary, because there is still a way back?"

Phoenix changed his shoes, straightened up, and did not answer for a long time.

King Asura stared at his back like this, as if not letting go of every change in breathing and muscle tension.

"...you think too much," Phoenix finally said after a long while.

"I just don't have friends. Even if one day Nirvana, no one will remember."

He opened the office door and walked out. Behind him, the King Asura showed a bit of surprise and suspicion on his face, and finally turned into a subtle and malicious expression; in the end he sneered and shook his head, turned and followed him in stride, and walked out of the office.

·

The door closed again, and with a click, the little phoenix was suddenly awakened from a dreamlike state.

He froze for a long time, wondering what this is? Is it me?

Is this a memory before Nirvana?

Little Phoenix blinked, her mind blank. Countless lights and shadows of memory seemed to pass from the depths of the soul. When I just wanted to reach out to capture it, it was like a mirror flower and watery moon, and all feelings disappeared instantly.

"..."

Little Phoenix suddenly thought of something. He took a breath and felt that the center of his chest was jumping slightly and quickly. He immediately climbed down the flower stand, ran to the desk, pulled the chair and climbed up, then opened the drawer—

Little Phoenix's pupils shrank instantly.

I saw an old book lying quietly in that drawer, it was "Bugs the Dead"!
