The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 22 Slipped Out
"Ning Long, who are these people?" Xing Yuan asked through the glass, feeling that they looked familiar.

"Hungry binding, does it look good?"

The secret spirits are so ugly that it is hard to describe them as beautiful.

Xing Yuan paused for a moment before squeezing out a description, "He has a full score for artistic talent."

"Yes, I am a genius. Not only can I deal with secret spirits, but I can also do art."

Xingyuan: "..."

This is the Star Alliance Intelligence Branch. Those coming in and out are hunters and intelligence personnel.

When the neon lights come on at night, in the dim light, will they think that there is something wrong with their cognition and kick it, hitting the glass?

Xing Yuan shook his head and chuckled, forget it, just consider it as a way to generate income for the tavern.

"Mom, this is it. My sister lives here." Charlie pulled his mother to the front of the bar.

Charlie saw the white hungry rope and screamed, "Why is this monster here?"

"I built it, do you have any objection?"

Su Ninglong patted her gloves and looked at the gentle-looking Mother Cha.

Charlie's mother has thick, long curly hair like seaweed, fair skin and beautiful looks. You don't need to get close to her to know that she is a sweet and soft beauty.

"Is this your mother? A very beautiful sister. You are not as good looking as her."

Mother Cha was instantly captivated by Su Ninglong's sweet praise, "You're cute too, Ninglong. Where's your mother?"

"She's sleeping. Is there anything you need from her?"

"No, we came to you to thank you for helping Charlie." Charlie's mother thought that the more gifts you give, the better. "Husband, give me the gift."

A kind-hearted man brought out a pile of gift boxes from the back seat of the car, almost covering the people. "Hey, hello, I'm Charlie's dad."

The man had the same naturally curly black hair as Charlie, had an ordinary appearance, and exuded a kind and honest aura.

When Su Ninglong saw the gift box, her eyes lit up and she invited them to sit in the bar.

She greeted them familiarly: "Hello, Auntie and Uncle. What kind of tea would you like? Do you live nearby?"

Mother Cha said softly, "No need for tea. We are about ten minutes' drive from here. It's very close."

While Cha's mother was talking to Su Ninglong, Cha's father was looking at the bar.

The walls have a war-damaged look, the paint is unevenly applied, and the tables and chairs have unique shapes with no unified style.

Father Cha took the initiative to praise: "Who designed these tables and chairs? They are very unique. I have never seen a bar with such unique furnishings."

"Go to a second-hand store." Su Ninglong said as a matter of course.

Father Cha choked and laughed dryly, "I am superficial. It turns out your mother has a unique vision."

"She has no taste, she just does it because it's cheap."

Mother Cha glanced at Father Cha and said, "It's okay. It's cost-effective. Your mother must be very good at making a living."

"Yes, she knows how to live well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have found such an antique like Lao Shi."

Lao Shi was charging his energy in the corner, tilting his head and asking, "Young Master, what are your instructions?"

"Just stay still."

"Ok."

Xingyuan was just a guide and it was not convenient for him to greet guests. He served tea and read a book on the side.

Charlie's parents were restless. Apart from thank you, they didn't know what topic Su Ninglong was interested in.

I was afraid that if I continued the conversation, I would be asked more embarrassing questions.

After a moment of silence, he prepared to leave.

There were footsteps on the stairs. Zou Shuyi came down from upstairs yawning and pressed the heating button under the bar.

"A guest is coming, why didn't you notify me?"

"We're sorry to bother you with our sudden visit." Mother Cha explained her purpose and said with a bright smile, "Without your Ning Long, our boy wouldn't be able to join the Star Alliance."

Zou Shuyi smiled but said nothing. The salary in Star Alliance was indeed generous, but not every job was a good one.

Several types of jobs are just disguised as high-paid civil servants.

"Godmother, Auntie, can I open these presents?"

Zou Shuyi turned around and saw the gifts piled up at Lao Shi's feet. "Ning Long, this is impolite, and gifts cannot be accepted. Helping Charlie in the test was just Ning Long's unconscious help, it's not worth it."

Zou Shuyi's words were not polite. It was not known whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to push Charlie into the Star Alliance.

"Take it, Ninglong, feel free to open it. I specially packed it as a gift to satisfy the child's fun of opening the blind box." Mother Cha thought it was the finishing touch.

“No demolition allowed.”

"dismantle."

The two adults pushed each other.

Su Ninglong shook his head and muttered, "Charlie is such an annoying guy. If he doesn't accept the gift, then I'm being bothered for nothing."

Charlie squatted beside him and asked, "Can I take it apart too?"

"Tear it down."

Su Ninglong first opened a medium-sized gift box, which contained a big fat golden rat doll wearing a star police hat. The doll had fluffy fur with each strand clearly visible, and it felt great to hold.

"Wow, this is Ding Ding Mouse."

"What's a Ding Ding Mouse?"

Charlie said, "He's the Star Police Mouse who maintains interstellar peace and justice. Just yesterday he caught a villain who was about to destroy the world..."

"Okay, stop talking." It must be a cartoon character.

Old Ancestor Su had watched children's animations several times and was shocked by the insane plots in them. He almost burned his brain and thought that the interstellar world was so absurd.

Later, Zou Shuyi explained that she realized that mice would not patrol in Star Police uniforms, and people could not recover after being beaten into a pancake shape.

Modern technology is amazing, but not that amazing.

However, Su Ninglong was quite satisfied with this chubby mouse, which she liked very much. She even couldn't let it go. When she was an ancestor, she had never received such a gift.

When Zou Shuyi saw Charlie helping Su Ninglong to tear open the packaging, she realized that the situation was hopeless and gave up struggling.

"Ning Long just called you godmother. Did you adopt her? It must have been very hard to raise her by yourself."

"She is my best friend's child. I was afraid that she would suffer in the orphanage, so I adopted her." Zou Shuyi did not mention the deeper reasons.

When women talk to each other, they can open up and tell each other a lot of things.

The people in this family behaved badly, and the children in that family waded through the sewage ditch.

When they talked about family matters and some ethical and moral issues, even Xingyuan and Cha's father unconsciously moved forward.

"It's good for you to be makeup artists. You can often come into contact with celebrities. My Ning Long also likes to hear it." Cha's mother is a highly skilled makeup artist, and many big stars like to look for her.

If you stay in the celebrity circle for a long time, you will hear all kinds of gossip.

She had heard a lot about hunters, but Charlie couldn't see the secret spirits, so there was a high probability that he wouldn't be a hunter, so Charlie's mother was quite relieved that he was studying in the Star Alliance.

After a piece of gossip was finished, they were still not satisfied and the atmosphere in the room became quiet.

"Isn't it a little quiet?" Xing Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around to see, "Where are Ning Long and Charlie?"

All the gift boxes were opened, the gifts were thrown on the sofa, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

"Ning Long, Ning Long..." Zou Shuyi shouted upstairs, but no one responded.

"Old Ten, where is Ning Long?"

Lao Shi bent his arm and pointed in the direction of the back door. "They opened that door and went in."

"That's the back door, she must have run out. Ning Long has never left the bar without saying a word." Mother Cha was extremely anxious: "Charlie likes to hang out with the kids downstairs when he's home, and he never sits still for a moment. He must have been the one who persuaded his sister to go out and play."

The four of them hurried to look for it. It was freezing cold outside and it would be bad if they ran to play somewhere with water.

In fact, contrary to what Cha's mother guessed, it was Su Ninglong who was the first to walk out of the door holding Ding Ding Mouse, and Charlie was just an accomplice.

Su Ninglong walked on the street and turned towards Xingkui Street.

The children nearby cast envious glances at her. They could tell at a glance that the Ding Ding Mouse in Su Ninglong's arms was an authentic one and very expensive.

A brave child came up to Su Ninglong and asked, "Can you lend me your Ding Ding Mouse to play with for a while?"

"That's a gift for my sister, not for you." Charlie stayed by Su Ninglong's side to protect her and her Ding Ding Mouse.

Su Ninglong walked straight to the door of No. 3 Xingkui Street without looking around.

"This place has been sealed off by the police. It's a very dangerous place."

The children who followed Su Ninglong all the way reminded them not to go in.

They are all afraid of this place. The black and white seal has a warning effect. When touched, a siren will sound.

At that time, both the child and the guardian will be punished.

There were now two seals on the tightly closed red door of No. 3 Xingkui Street.

The seal at the bottom was broken, proving that someone had entered through the main gate in broad daylight.

What Zou Shuyi said was true and she didn't mean to scare her.

Someone entered to complete a mission but failed, so the house had to be sealed again.

The black and white seal that spanned the entire yard remained motionless in the cold wind, indicating that it was made of a unique material and was not the usual plastic strips used to seal the yard when a murder occurred.

Su Ninglong moved her eyes downwards and saw a white flower in full bloom peeking out from the fence.

Each petal has an angular sheen like the facets of jade, the wrinkles are ivory-colored, and the stretched parts are as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing the white snow on the ground.

"What beautiful flowers, sister, let me pick them for you."

"Need not."

Charlie, who wanted to please someone, was rejected, but he didn't get discouraged. Instead, he reached out his hand.

Su Ninglong grabbed his collar and said, "Don't take it off. I don't like it."

"Oh!"

Charlie didn't pick the flowers, but the other kids didn't have that scruple and destroyed the flowers ruthlessly. They were professionals at this.

They squatted down and bravely pulled it.

"Why can't I find it?"

The child tried folding, bending and twisting, but none of them worked.

The flower is like a stubborn donkey, firmly standing on its horse's stance, and the fibers of its flower stems are very tough and it refuses to give in.

Charlie looked confused, "Why can't he take it off?"

"I can take it off." The child didn't believe it and simply lay down and tried to pass under the seal.

Su Ninglong stepped on his back and said, "You just said you can't go in."

"I'm just going in for a bit. I'll come out after I pick some flowers."

"No."

"Ning Long, what are you doing here?" Wu Mo had just finished his mission and was passing by. Seeing so many children gathered in the alley at No. 3 Xingkui Street, he immediately ran over and tried to drive them away.

Unexpectedly, Ning Long was also here.

"Did he bully you?"

Su Ninglong: “???”

He bullied her? Then what was she stepping on?
"Big Head, why are you running to No. 3? Are you trying to kill yourself?" A sturdy middle-aged woman came running over with a broom in her hand, the soles of her leather shoes seeming to make sparks against the road surface.

She said fiercely, "Are you naughty again?" Her eyes caught Su Ninglong's attention, "Are you bullying the little girl?"

Su Ninglong touched his face. Did he have a face that was easy to be bullied?
"I didn't bully her." Big Head got up, feeling very aggrieved.

"She's so cute, you can't help but want to pull her braids."

The child looked up. He had only noticed Ding Ding Shu and didn't pay attention to Su Ninglong.

Su Ninglong has an exquisite bun today with a red ribbon tied on her hair, and wears a clean red winter suit, looking like a little princess from a fairy tale.

His cheeks flushed. This girl was indeed very cute.

"I didn't bully her. It was this little brother who said the flowers were beautiful and wanted to pick them for her, so I picked them."

Charlie: "You're lying, my sister said she doesn't like it."

Obviously, Charlie with his honest face can gain more trust from adults.

Big Head was beaten severely by the aunt. He sobbed and said that he would settle the score with Charlie later.

Su Ninglong and Charlie were led back to the bar by Wu Mo. On the way, they met the yellow-haired young man who had accused Zou Shuyi yesterday. He was hiding in the alley stealthily.

There was another person in the alley, but he was standing behind a lamppost, and only his swollen hands could be seen, handing a particle file to Huangmao.

The yellow-haired young man hurriedly put it in his arms, "Thank you." He turned around with a relaxed look, and saw Wu Mo, his steps stopped, his smile froze, "Uncle Wu...

Wu Mo nodded and asked doubtfully: "You are..."

"Su Ninglong." The female Tyrannosaurus of the Zou family arrived in front, and Huangmao took the opportunity to walk in the opposite direction, not wanting to meet Zou Shuyi.

Zou Shuyi's eyes blazed with anger, and she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Tell me the truth about where you've been."

Old Ten, who had followed them out to find Su Ninglong, asked, "What does Ms. Zou need me to tell you?"

Zou Shuyi stopped herself from spitting out the three hundred curses that were about to burst out of her throat. She glared at Lao Shi fiercely and said, "I'll help you change your name when we get back."

"Oh, ma'am, I can change it now. The program can recognize it automatically." Lao Shi said respectfully.

Xingyuan lowered his head and chuckled.

The Zou family may have a funny gene, and robots seem to be no exception.

For Ms. Zou's health, Xing Yuan picked up Su Ninglong and took her place, patiently saying to her, "Ms. Zou is very worried about your safety. Can you let us know before you go out to play?"

"Okay. Are we still going to visit the ancient sites tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait two weeks. There are so many students going to historical sites recently that I couldn't get a ticket for this week."

"The homework deadline is more than a week, right?"

"Yes."

"Sister, I want to go to any historical site you want to visit, and I'll bring you some delicious nut cookies made by my mom."

Mother Cha, who had wanted to take part in the action of punishing her child, felt very upset and was about to refuse.

Su Ninglong nodded. She couldn't resist the huge temptation of nut cookies and reluctantly agreed to his request.

Cha's mother was heartbroken and felt that her son was a scumbag.

…………

On Sunday night, the wind and snow stopped and Su Ninglong was ready to return to school.

Zou Shuyi packed a suitcase full of things, all for Su Ninglong.

Then she squatted down to adjust the Suninglong hat, making sure the brim could cover the child's ears to keep him warm.

Su Ninglong couldn't help but be curious about the contents of the suitcase, "What's inside?"

"It's a good thing." Zou Shuyi said, "Open it when we get back to school. It's a surprise. See you next week."
