Chapter 642 Meeting the Parents
"Oh? Are you saying that you and your girlfriend have already met their parents?"
In the lobby of Libra headquarters, Zheng Shu's words attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Leo waved his arms in panic and quickly corrected his statement: "I didn't meet the parents. I just met Xiaobai's brother."
"That's his biological brother, right? I remember you said that the girl lived in Hersharemz for three whole years and had been staying in the hospital. Apart from his brother, he has no other relatives in this city, right?" Zheng Shu touched his chin.
"That's right." Leo nodded blankly.
"That's it. The eldest brother is like a father. When your parents are not here, your elder brother must be the head of the family. Isn't this like meeting the parents?" Zheng Shu's eyes were sharp.
"Ah...this..." Leo was a little panicked by what Zheng Shu said.
After hearing Zheng Shu's words, not only the idle "idlers" like Zapp and Jane, but even Stephen, who had been immersed in his work since just now, was aroused by the gossip and pricked up his ears involuntarily.
"Leo, I never thought that you would be married so soon. It really makes me sad!"
Zapp rushed out from the side, crying and patting Leo's shoulder hard, looking as if he was mourning Leo's choice.
"It hurts! Why should I be told that by you? And you obviously have a lot of lovers, don't you?!" Leo pushed away Zapp's hand in dissatisfaction.
Zap didn't care about Leo's behavior. He crossed his arms and shook his head complacently:
"No, no, no! It's different. Didn't you say it? I just have a bunch of lovers. And you are going to step into the grave of marriage early and give up an entire forest..."
Boom!
Zheng Shu punched the guy who was in the way and sent him flying. He then shook his hands and looked at Leo.
"Don't worry about that guy. But no matter what, this is definitely a very important meeting! After all, that guy...what's his name?"
"Little black."
"Yes, after you met in the hospital, didn't Xiao Hei ask you to meet again in the restaurant? Wasn't it to get to know you better?"
Zheng Shu spoke with great confidence, and Leo began to panic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Zapp stubbornly got up from the ground, leaned close to Leo's ear, and "threatened" in a devilish low voice:
"Maybe he just wants to give you a good scolding when you can't see your girlfriend and warn you to stay away from her sister."
"No...no way..." The hairs on Leo's back stood up and he jumped forward, escaping from Zapp's clutches.
But Zap was chasing him relentlessly:
"How is it impossible? Think about it, she is his biological sister after all. His biological sister was suddenly taken by another man, and she was in the hospital when she was at her most vulnerable. No matter what, he would be worried. You will definitely be tortured severely!"
"Stop talking!!!"
Leo covered his ears desperately and ran in front, while Zapp was chasing him relentlessly.
However, Leo couldn't refute what Zapp said, because he also had a sister, so he knew the feeling very well.
"This is really the trouble of youth. It makes me nostalgic, although I don't think I have ever experienced such a thing."
Zheng Shu took the teacup handed to him by Gilbert, thanked him and took a sip. Then he slowly exhaled and sighed like an old man.
After playing around, Leo came to Zheng Shu exhausted physically and mentally. After a moment of silence, he suddenly pleaded with Zheng Shu:
"Come with me."
"Wake up! Why should I accompany you in this kind of thing?" Zheng Shu hit him on the head with a knife in frustration.
"If all else fails, go find Zapp. He's definitely got some skills, and he's definitely willing to go with you."
"I'm absolutely fine." Zapp appeared from behind Leo like a ghost, looking very excited.
"Wow! No no, this guy will definitely cause trouble for me when he gets over there!"
As soon as Leo saw the look on Zapp's face that showed he wanted to get a big bite of the melon, he rejected Leo's proposal, crossing his arms and shaking his head wildly.
"Tsk, you really don't know how to appreciate a good person!"
Zapp seemed a little unhappy. After thinking for a while, he approached Leo with a sinister smile and said, "If you are worried, I can ask Camilo and Villegas to go with you. As long as you pay a little bit of compensation, it will be fine."
"Who are these two?" Leo looked confused.
"If I remember correctly, they should be Zapp's friends, two hooligans from the decadent neighborhood. Their main business is selling narcotics and lending at high interest rates."
Stephen's voice came from the side. Although he still acted as if nothing had happened, it was obvious that he had been paying attention to what was happening here.
"Thank you... No, why did you ask these two people to follow me?"
Leo was just about to thank Stephen when he realized something was wrong and turned his head sharply to look at Youzap.
"Of course it's to prevent him from killing you! Don't worry, they are both professionals."
“This is ridiculous!!!”
Leo rubbed his head in distress, regretting telling these people about this.
"So, why are you so anxious? Didn't we already meet once in the hospital? You shouldn't be so anxious anyway."
Seeing that Leo was really distressed, Zheng Shu stepped forward to ask about the real matter.
"Well... that..." Leo hesitated, "Actually, I think I've seen Xiao Hei before."
"Hmm? Yes, you did."
"No, not at the hospital. I mean before the hospital, around the time when Mr. Abrams came. I saw him on the subway and talked to him then."
"Oh, isn't that better? What are you still worried about?" Zapp sat on the sofa arrogantly.
"No...what to say, but when we met in the hospital later, he said that this was just the first time we met..."
"That just means that people don't remember you. It's not a big deal. Are you so fragile?" Zapp said carelessly.
"impossible……"
Not knowing how to explain to these people, Leo finally gave up struggling.
Looking at him, Zheng Shu raised the corner of his mouth.
He was clear about what Leo was worried about. It was actually very simple. The "Little Black" who Leo saw and talked to him on the subway was actually the King of Despair.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are actually twins, and their parents are investigators of the Warlock Association.
Twins have a special status in any myth or legend, and the same is true for the sorcerers in the Blood Blockade Battlefront who rely on blood to gain power.
Although they are twins, Xiaobai, who has excellent bloodline, is born without any extraordinary powers, while Xiaohei has strength and talent that far exceeds the "normal" limits. Even the unconscious collapse of power in infancy is enough to cause an earthquake over a large area.
It looks like one person was born with two powers.
There is no superpower in such a family, which seems very tragic to others.
But fortunately, Xiaobai's parents love him very much, regardless of whether she has power or not.
It's not sympathy or pretense, but I really love my children.
But because of this, during the Great Collapse, in order to save their children, the two of them chose to sacrifice themselves, allowing Xiaobai, whose heart was blown out in an accident, to merge with the barrier and come back to life.
However, because he witnessed the death of his parents, Xiao Hei was in extreme despair, and his despair attracted the formless King of Despair.
In order to protect his sister, he signed a contract with the King of Despair and merged with him.
The "person" Leo saw on the subway was the King of Despair who was using Xiao Hei's body to move around.
Zheng Shu speculated that the guy was probably starting to prepare a plan, so he came to Leo to confirm the existence of the God's Eye.
As for the Xiao Hei that Leo saw in the hospital, that was the real Xiao Hei. After all, in most cases the King of Despair was just sleeping in Xiao Hei's body and only came out occasionally.
However, there is no need to tell Leo about this now. After all, he can't help much at this stage.
As for whether it would be dangerous for Leo to go to the restaurant to meet Xiao Hei, Zheng Shu was not worried.
After all, the person who least wants Leo to get into trouble right now is probably King Despair. Before his plan is completed, Leo's safety is fully guaranteed.
"Come on, kid, this 'meet the parents' event is up to you. By the way, you don't have much time left."
Pointing to the clock next to him and saying this, Zheng Shu put down the empty teacup in his hand, finished the last piece of snack, waved to the people around him, and left the hall of Libra without looking back.
"what……"
Looking at Zheng Shu's departing back, Leo struggled for a while, but under the urging of time, he finally mustered up the courage and went to the appointment alone.
Of course, because I was too nervous, I almost fell down even when pushing the motorcycle.
"Hey, the last time I saw this guy this nervous was when he first joined Libra. Is this kid okay?"
A group of people from Libra gathered at the windowsill, looking at Leo who was so nervous that he was about to vomit, and Zapp laughed with evil humor.
……
……
In the evening, after finishing today's experiment, Zheng Shu received an invitation from Feimto - a new round of the Thirteen Kings Banquet was about to begin.
"What is the theme of this banquet?"
Zheng Shu lay comfortably on the lounge chair with a towel covering his eyes, looking like he was on vacation at the beach.
"Nothing, just a new round of pranks. This time, the main thing is to select the next round of pranks."
Feimto's tone was much lighter. He was also lying on a recliner with a towel on his face, his posture exactly the same as Zheng Shu's.
However, Zheng Shu had been wanting to complain after seeing this guy's behavior. Normally, the upper half of Feimto's face was covered with an iron-gray mask. Now when he was lying down, he was just adding another layer of towel on the iron-gray mask. It didn't make any sense at all!
"A new round of candidates for pranks? Haven't you already decided?" Zheng Shu sighed, grabbed the towel on his head, and looked at Feimto teasingly.
Fimto was not disturbed by Zheng Shu's words. He snapped his fingers, and the android maid next to him immediately handed a glass of juice to his mouth.
After taking two sips of the sweet fruit through the straw, Fimto replied:
"Strictly speaking, it's not that I have decided, but those guys have allowed it. After all, for them, the main thing is to relieve boredom, as long as it is fun and interesting, they will accept it. And not everyone likes to play pranks, sometimes watching a big show can arouse their interest more."
"So this is how you got a favor from the King of Despair?" Zheng Shu glanced at him.
Zheng Shu’s words seemed to remind Feimto of something. After a long silence, he sighed.
"A favor?... It would be nice if that guy could really return the favor. I can't help it. I know him well. Although we can't be considered friends, I can't refuse him when he asks me for a favor."
"Okay, I'll join in. After all, it seems quite interesting." Zheng Shu jumped up from the recliner, opened a space crack and walked out.
"Remember not to be late." Feimto was still lying on the recliner and just waved at Zheng Shu's back.
On the street, Zheng Shu saw the shops next to him decorated with pumpkin heads and ghosts, and he suddenly realized:
“It turns out Halloween is almost here.”
Zheng Shu took another look at the strange-looking aliens passing by him, and his expression became a little strange.
"It feels so weird to hold Halloween in this city. It should be like Halloween every day since three years ago."
However, Zheng Shu was actually very clear that many people from other worlds had a misunderstanding of Halloween.
Many of them simply like to celebrate the festival. After all, those who still dare to stay in this city are basically crazy people who are not afraid of death. The so-called festival is just an excuse to have a party.
"In fact, it's more than that. In my hometown, although we can't get candy on Halloween, people still believe that the human world and the underworld are connected on Halloween night, the dead return, and evil spirits and elves appear."
Hearing the voice behind him, Zheng Shu showed a mocking smile:
"Your hometown? It should be 'the hometown of this body'. Was there really a festival called Halloween when you were born?"
The King of Despair, whose pupils had turned from green to red, had leaned behind Zheng Shu at some point. Hearing this, he was not angry, but just spread his hands towards Zheng Shu:
"At the moment the contract was signed, he and I became one, so it's not wrong for me to say that."
