Pendulum Rider

At the beginning of April, before returning to China, Lin Xiwu sent a message to Lin Jiayi, asking him to pick up the plane. Since it was Monday, and Lin Jiayi had to help take care of the bear child, with the consent of Bai Yibo, he took Hao Zhi Brought to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Koshi kept asking repeatedly if his father was back, but it wasn't.

After Lin Xiwu got off the plane, he sniffed out Lin Jiayi's direction with his keen sense of smell. He dragged his luggage and walked out, only to find a small figure beside Lin Jiayi. The figure, regardless of the luggage, rushed forward and hugged Lin Jiayi. Just as he was about to bite into the blood vessel in the opponent's neck, he noticed a scorpion crawling out along Lin Jiayi's skin.

"Tsk, brother, what kind of pet do you keep on your skin? Hurry up and replenish my blood!"

"Wait until you get home."

"Is our house finished?"

"It's almost finished, but my parents said that the house is going to be rented out, and they are considering moving back to Huangpu District."

"Then where do I live now?"

"You can live wherever you want. Anyway, there are so many members in the food group, so you don't have to worry about finding a place to live."

"Then I'll live with you."

"Well, I'll ask Bai Yibo tonight if I can let you live together."

"Huh? White radish?"

"It's Bai Yibo, you're giving others weird nicknames again."

The three of them hailed a taxi outside the airport, and then returned to Huangpu District. Since it was still early, Bai Yibo hadn't come back yet, and Hao Zhi fell asleep in the car. As soon as he got home, Lin Jiayi carried him to his cot.

Then, the two brothers reunited after a long absence and whispered about the old days in the living room. Lin Xiwu was asked about his future plans, and he replied firmly: "First write the graduation thesis, and then take a few tasks in the red and blue gang to do it, to hone it." own abilities."

Lin Xiwu paused for a beat, and continued: "Actually, when I was in Germany, because I always took photos and published food reviews, a food magazine asked me to sign a contract and asked me to write articles for them. Let me do it as a part-time job. I have passed I talked to them in the phone interview, and as long as I write something, I will definitely give it to them.”

"yes."

"Brother, I saw a video of you confronting Ghost Leaf some time ago, and I was really scared into a cold sweat. When I see him, I will definitely beat him so hard that he can't tell the difference between east, west, and north."

"You don't need to beat you, you can't tell the difference between southeast and north. By the way, what do you write in your thesis? Is it German food?"

"Is there anything else I can write about besides food?"

"You are graduating in June this year. You haven't had much time yet. How many papers have you written?"

"I haven't moved a word yet. Recently, I have been forced to practice by Xianbei, and I have also taken on a lot of tasks to practice my hands."

"Then you can go to the study and start writing now."

"Before that, let me drink to my full. I came back to look for you because I ran out of blood pills."

Lin Jiayi reluctantly went to the kitchen and took out a fruit knife. Although he was afraid of the pain, it would be better if he was bitten open with his fangs. He used the fruit knife to cut open his finger, and Lin Xiwu suddenly He leaned forward and took his finger into his mouth. The blood on his finger flowed slowly, just for Lin Xiwu to savor it carefully.

Lin Xiwu hadn't seen this fresh blood for a long time. When the wound on his finger had been healed by Lin Xiwu's saliva, he was still reluctant to let go of the other party's hand.

"You are enough."

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few months. The smell of roses in this blood seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

"Really? I don't think so."

After that, Lin Xiwu was urged to go to the study to write a thesis. When it was time for dinner, Bai Yibo came back on time after buying groceries. They had a face-to-face meeting in the living room. If there was something wrong, he changed his name and called the other party a duck neck.

"Can you stop giving Ben Shao these strange nicknames?"

"But it's easy to remember."

Although Bai Yibo showed a look of helplessness, he did not continue to correct the title problem.Since Lin Xiwu also became their family's diner, the amount of food Bai Yibo bought every day has doubled, and it was the first time he saw someone who could eat more than his cartoonist friend.

Fortunately, Lin Xiwu only lived in their house for one month. After the Labor Day, he brought a lot of homemade blood pills and returned to Jiading District. It only took him one month to complete what he was interested in. Food thesis, the next thing is to go back to school to defend the thesis.

He took the subway, changed to a bus, and wanted to go to Boss Wei's residence, but got lost again. Without the help of Venus, he would not have been able to reach Boss Wei's neighborhood within a day.

When he knocked on the door of Boss Wei's room, Boss Wei happened to be processing some documents. When Boss Wei saw him at the door, he was not very surprised, but instead showed a look of "Why did you come? Did you get lost somewhere again?" ?” expression.

"Old Wei, is there any new task for me to do recently? When will I be able to find Rosen?"

"I have already learned about your situation in Germany. You have also seen the video of your brother and the heart thief Ghost Leaf? After watching it, do you have any thoughts about Ghost Leaf?"

"Yes! I want to hang him up and beat him into meat paste."

"Other than that, any other ideas?"

"His speed was quite fast at the beginning. When I revisited it recently, I felt that Venus and I had surpassed him." Lin Xiwu said confidently.

"Speed ​​and endurance alone are not enough. You have to improve your perception ability. Most of the blood races are elusive. If you want to find Rosen, you must first confirm their location. As it happens, in the documents I am dealing with now, there are This task is especially suitable for you to practice."

"What mission?"

"It's still running errands, but this time there is no clear destination. Help me deliver this letter to a member of the Red and Blue Gang—Xing Xing. He was the one who brought you to my house at the beginning. He is now with the Shanghai blood clan. Prince Tang Yiwen's whereabouts are uncertain, and it's up to you and the pendulum to find him, and I'll give you a week."

"Is he really still in Shanghai?"

"Don't worry, the Prince of Shanghai will not leave his territory casually, so Xing Xing and the others must still be in Shanghai."

"Understood." Lin Xiwu said goodbye to Wei Laodao after receiving the letter.

Shanghai is also considered a metropolis, therefore, it is not an easy task to find a stranger without the slightest impression in the vast crowd, not to mention that Lin Xiwu is still a road idiot, Shanghai is like It is like a big country, so he added a definition to Shanghai Magic City in his heart: like Rubik's Cube, there is no way to find the correct spelling (way) method (road).

Lin Xiwu learned some basic information from Boss Wei. Xing Xing was from Jiading and his family was in Nanxiang, while Tang Yiwen usually lived in Huangpu, so he decided to start with Jiading District first. Those who walk around may miss the opponent, so what Boss Wei said is not unreasonable, he must strengthen his sensing ability.

Since Xing Xing always stays with Tang Yiwen, it is enough to smell the smell of the blood race through the sense of smell. I heard that Tang Yiwen likes to eat sweets, and the blood race is paired with sweet and greasy breath. Such a combination should be relatively rare, as long as you increase the You can find each other in the crowd by using your own sense of smell.

"Your IQ is finally on the line." Venus said in Lin Xiwu's ear after reading Lin Xiwu's thoughts.

"What does it mean to be online at last? I always bring my IQ with me when I go out, okay?"

"If you get lost on the street, practice your sense of smell more. Coupled with my sensory ability, it is not difficult to confirm the other party's geographic coordinates. You can even confirm the three-dimensional coordinates. Even if they go to heaven and earth, they can still find them them."

"I've practiced with you in speed for a few months, and there are only seven days left. It seems that I can't do it if I don't work hard."

"Then talk less nonsense and get lost more."

At present, Lin Xiwu's nose can distinguish more than 1000 kinds of smells. Through his sense of smell, he can walk with his eyes closed and know how many cats and ants are approaching him. However, his sense of smell is relatively small, like playing a game. Like a maze that doesn’t show the surrounding roads, it shows where he goes. Therefore, if he can improve his sense of smell, coupled with Venus’s positioning ability, he can find the location that appears on this map on a large map. The coordinates of anyone on .

Within seven days, if he wants to include the whole of Shanghai in his "smell map", he must first strengthen his mind power. At this moment, his map is only the size of a residential area.

"I'd better go to the chocolate house to practice meditation first." Lin Xiwu said, he took the first step in the wrong direction, and Venus didn't correct his mistake and let him get lost.

Lin Xiwu didn't know how he got there, but he came to a somewhat familiar place, but he didn't remember where it was for a moment, he looked up at the nearby street signs, and found that he came to Wild Dog Road, which he had read When I was in elementary school, I took the bus to Jiading alone to buy something to eat, but got lost on the way home and came to Shugou Road. Fortunately, he brought his father’s mobile phone with him, so he called home and asked Lin Jiayi to come out to find him. Said that he was on Wild Dog Road, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Brother Lu and Lin Jiayi taxiing over to pick him up.

"If one day you can remember the smell of each road, you won't get lost."

"The smell of the road is basically the same. My road dementia is beyond rescue. I took the wrong road just now. Why didn't you remind me?"

"You didn't ask me to remind you."

"There happens to be a bus stop near here, so let's take it back here."

"Do you know how to transfer?"

Lin Xiwu paused for a beat, and then replied decisively: "I don't know."

"Then spend more time outside, the chances of meeting each other outside are higher."

"But don't they come out at night?"

"That's hard to say. After all, modern blood races sleep very irregularly. They can go out whenever they want."

"Then let's go surfing now, and find out where there are delicious places nearby."

"Do you take me as your maid?"

"No, you are much better than Du Niang." Lin Xiwu praised Venus a few more times, and finally added, "Although you are not as good as Lawson."

"Are you trying to compliment me or something?"

"I'm just telling the truth, well, take me to a delicious place."

Therefore, Venus floated ahead silently, and Lin Xiwu followed closely, wanting to talk to her, but the drifting speed was getting faster and faster. Come on, Lin Xiwu is like a patient who escaped from the hospital, talking to the air while running.

"Venus, what did you say was written in the letter that Old Wei gave me? Can you open it up and have a look? After all, modern communication is generally done by mobile phone, computer, or fax. Maybe there is some big secret written in the letter? "

"It's not necessarily a letter in an envelope." Venus finally talked to Lin Xiwu. He slowed down his floating speed, and Lin Xiwu also slowed down.

"Then is it the salary of the Red and Blue Gang? Like a check."

"After you find the star, if he allows, watch him open the envelope. It's better not to open it rashly to peek."

"Help me see through it to see if it's a restaurant coupon." Lin Xiwu took out the envelope and looked into the sunlight, but couldn't see what was inside.

"I just know how to eat, how could it be a coupon." Even so, Venus floated to the envelope, and used her ability to peek into the contents.

"How is it? Do you see what it is?"

"It seems to be an invitation letter from somewhere." Before Lin Xiwu asked, Venus hurriedly added, "Don't think too much, it's not an invitation letter from a food appreciation meeting. Since it was given to him by Boss Wei, it must be with him. It's work related."

"Cut, it's really boring, let's go and eat quickly."

Although Lin Xiwu has no sense of direction, he still has a sense of distance. He admires his foot speed very much. Venus took him to buy a biscuit on the street, and then took him to Qinghe Road, which can be reached by bus. Yes, but he came on foot. He came to the ground floor of Robinson, ate a bowl of char siu noodles at Ajisen Ramen, and then walked out of the shop.

I saw a black-haired little girl in a bright-colored cheongsam with buns on both sides of her head walking towards him with a serious expression. The girl looked only 5 or 6 years old, and she didn't even have a guardian around her.

Lin Xiwu was surprised at first, but then he noticed a scent of roses coming from the other party. It seemed that the little girl was also a member of the Rose clan.

"Why do you smell like roses?" The little girl walked up to him and asked first.

"You mean Rosen?"

"It's not the smell of your chest. I already knew about your chest filled with plum blossoms. It was we who sent you to the boss of the Red and Blue Gang."

"Really? Is the star around here now?"

"He was upstairs in the movie theater. I felt too bored, so I slipped out to get some air." The little girl said, and sniffed at Lin Xiwu's pocket. "Sure enough, it smells like someone else."

"So you're talking about this." Lin Xiwu took out a mouth spray from his pocket. The bottle was transparent and filled with a bright red liquid, which he poured in after melting Lin Jiayi's blood pill. , If you want to drink blood on the road, you can take it out and spray it at any time.

"That's it, a very familiar smell."

"Could it be that you know my brother too?"

"You mean Lin Jiayi? I haven't met him, but I remember the smell."

"Since we haven't met, how do we know the smell?"
