Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Today, the same is true.

Or rather, it had to be this way—

As a jackal, she was naturally unknown to the public and could have remained hidden underground, doing her own private research;

But as "Dr. Cleo", since she enjoys all the conveniences of human society, she naturally has to maintain the social behavior that comes with this identity.

While the Jackal enjoyed their praise and attention, he also despised their ignorance and was disgusted by their stupidity.

"What a bunch of boring guys!"

The Jackal smiled politely and bowed gracefully like a queen, thinking viciously in his heart,

"What a shame! We haven't even reached the stage to organize a public event yet. We still need to exercise restraint... Otherwise, why would I be playing house with you guys here?"

No matter how arrogant, conceited, and overbearing the Jackal is, she is still the most devoted believer in the teachings of the World Serpent.

No matter how dissatisfied she is with her current situation, she will never harbor the slightest resentment towards the "organization", but will only return it doubly to the "current situation" itself.

"Ah! Professor Cleo!"

Faintly, the Jackal heard a young voice calling her in the distance, but she ignored it and continued walking out of the venue without looking around.

"Professor Cleo, please stay!"

The owner of the voice pushed through the noisy crowd and approached the jackal with anxious footsteps, blocking her way and asking breathlessly,

"Dr. Cleo, is your lab still recruiting interns?"

The Jackal was quite disgusted with the boy who dared to stand in front of her. He even forgot the most basic courtesy of taking off his hat in front of her!

What a rude and stupid guy!

The jackal smiled appropriately while thinking about it.

"What a pity, classmate, the registration period has already ended, and the quota has been filled."

"Is that so? That's such a pity..."

The boy lowered his head in disappointment when he heard that, and the wide brim of his hat further blocked his face.

When it comes to consumables for experiments, the more the better, right?

Since there is a fool who comes to his doorstep, the jackal will naturally accept him with pleasure.

So, the respected Dr. Cleo showed her usual magnanimity and tolerance, and said in a gentle tone

"But since this student is so proactive, wouldn't it be unkind of me as a teacher if I didn't give you a chance?"

The tone is as bewitching as the poisonous snake that deceived Adam and Eve.

"Really? That's great!"

The boy was quite excited when he heard this. He grabbed the jackal's hand, lowered his head humbly, and said in a trembling voice,

"I just thought I really had no chance, but I didn't expect... Thank you, Professor Cleo!"

"enough!"

The Jackal roared angrily, and as if she had been electrocuted, she abruptly retracted her grasped hands. The feeling of being touched by the "untouchables" made her feel nauseous. Suppressing her surging anger, the Jackal still managed to hold on to her character on the verge of a mental breakdown, and said with a forced smile,

"No...it's okay...Student, if you're willing, you can come back to the lab with me now and start trying to relieve me of my duties..."

You damn guy, since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish... No, a rude and disgusting guy like you, I will make you want to die but cannot!

thought the Jackal furiously.

"But, Dr. Cleo, you don't even know who I am."

The boy reminded kindly.

"We have plenty of time to find out."

The jackal was too lazy to waste another second here. He moved his body, ready to bypass the troublesome guy in front of him and continue moving forward.

Anyway, given this guy's stupidity, he will definitely catch up on his own.

"But I think out of courtesy, I should introduce myself..."

Feeling that he had finally had enough fun, the "male college student" suddenly straightened up, took off his hat, raised his head, and showed his half-smile.

"Or, don't bother with that?"

When the Jackal saw that face, he was just slightly stunned, then he lost his voice in disbelief,

"...Lin Wei, is that you?!"

Chapter 121: Making Friends (6,000 words)

"Lin Wei, is that you?!"

Although he had never met her in person before, Jackal was extremely familiar with Lin Wei's face, and even thought about it day and night.

It was precisely because of this that when this guy suddenly "raided" in front of him in this way, the Jackal could not help but feel extremely shocked.

How dare he appear here so blatantly?

After a brief moment of surprise, the jackal came to his senses and quickly reached behind his waist, but found nothing. His heart sank.

"Hey, nice to meet you, what are you doing, Professor Cleo?"

Lin Wei said with a smile, pretending to be surprised,

"Is he looking for something? Did he prepare some kind of welcome gift for the students? You're truly a world-renowned professor."

Lin Wei put a little more emphasis on the words "famous professor", and the intention of sarcasm was self-evident.

"Ha ha……"

Knowing that the other party had bad intentions, but not wanting to look too embarrassed, the Jackal sneered twice and said sarcastically,

"Taking without permission is called stealing. Didn't anyone teach you this?"

"Hmm... Professor Cleo is truly erudite. He even uses ancient Chinese teachings to teach me. I'm truly indescribably impressed."

Lin Wei nodded seriously, accepting the criticism humbly, and then asked with a puzzled look,

"It's just that I'm not a thief. Look, what kind of thief in the world could appear before you so brazenly?"

As he spoke, Lin Wei put his hat on his chest with one hand, made a gentlemanly gesture to the jackal, and said with a smile,

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm a magician. I'm here simply to give you a small gift. What I just did could be considered a small... impromptu performance?"

As Lin Wei spoke, he turned the hat in his hand over, revealing a strangely shaped pistol lying quietly at the bottom of the not-so-deep hat crown.

This was done before when Lin Wei took advantage of holding the jackal's hand and touched it - little tricks like this were taught to her by Padu when they were in Paradise.

"Alas... Mei entered the paradise to 'explore the mysteries'; but for me, why is the style changed to 'learning from a master'?"

Lin Wei thought a little strangely, but a calm smile appeared on his face. He gently handed the hat to the jackal to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Why do these guys always carry pistols? Especially the Jackal. How did she get through security?"

Lin Wei muttered to himself, looking up and down at the jackal's slender and attractive figure with some scrutiny.

The ones I have seen include Cocolia and Gray Snake, and the woman in front of me who has been bullied by me and whose face has turned blue is the third one.

As for Siegfried, he cannot be counted, because his is the Key of God after all.

"Humph!"

The Jackal looked at Lin Wei deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously reached out for the hat that Lin Wei handed over. Seeing that Lin Wei did not make any other moves, he felt relieved, cursed Lin Wei inwardly as "idiot", and quickly held the pistol that was taken away from him in his hand.

Then he quickly loaded the gun and put it against Lin Wei's forehead.

"Go to hell, you idiot!"

The Jackal had a look of satisfaction on his face as if he had gotten his revenge, and he pulled the trigger hard!

The moment Lin Wei showed up, the Jackal was ready to get him; and now was the best time - even if he could only get his corpse, although it was a little inferior to a living sample, it was not impossible!

"Click."

As the trigger was pulled, only a slight sound of the needle being empty came from the gun.

Jackal's heart sank again. How could she not understand that she had been tricked again?

"Alas, what a pity, Dr. Jackal..."

Lin Wei flicked the brim of his hat with a look of regret, and gently dropped it on his head.

"I thought we were already friends. Your behavior is really sad..."

The hand holding the brim of the hat had several yellow bullets between its fingers, which slowly retracted into the palm as the fingers moved.

"Or is this your way of entertaining guests, Dr. Jackal?"

This was the first time Lin Wei called her World Snake codename to her face. Then he threw all the bullets into the trash can beside him, not caring about the increasingly ugly face of the Jackal.

"Oh, I thought you were going to play dumb till the end?"

The Jackal put away his empty gun and sneered.

"Friend, are you worthy?"

Fortunately, this is an advanced passage only accessible to a few people, and the Jackal's actions were not seen by so many guests and audiences in the venue, otherwise it would inevitably cause a commotion.

"Stop pretending here, it's disgusting!"

Jackal was extremely impatient with Lin Wei who had repeatedly provoked him, and sneered,

"Do you think you can threaten me in this way? Ha, ridiculous!"

Jackal still remembers the threatening phone call she received at the British Museum. She was so scared that she lost her mind and thought she had made a fatal mistake, which not only exposed herself but also leaked the Stigmata Plan.

If that's the case, then her sins are truly innumerable!

No matter how panicked she was at the time, she heaved a sigh of relief after learning the truth. When her soul returned to its place, she felt great resentment towards Lin Wei.

I will make this despicable and shameless guy pay the price!

The Jackal swore to heaven and earth in great rage.

"Really? I see. That's such a shame..."

Lin Wei nodded in understanding and said with a look of regret,

"In that case, it's not convenient for me to continue bothering you here. I'll have to try to make friends with other people."

Lin Wei bowed very gentlemanly, as if he was really a magician taking a bow; this artificial look made the jackal feel sick and gave him goosebumps.

Then, Lin Wei gave the jackal a meaningful smile, turned around and left without any reluctance, leaving her only a receding back view, as if she was not worried at all that she would take advantage of her.

The jackal certainly didn't dare.

I am really in a passive position today. Who knows what conspiracy this despicable guy has in secret?

The Jackal really wanted to stop him, because even now she thought this was the best time to catch this guy - if the Raven would help.

But that guy Raven hasn't provided any support to me until now!

Otherwise, why would he be in such a mess just now, and have to watch Lin Wei humiliate him wantonly, and finally let him leave so leisurely, while he was helpless to do anything?

Even if he had all sorts of tricks, if someone got so close to him as he did just now, he could only wait to die.

Also, how did he know his identity?

The jackal was puzzled. Could it be that the raven told him?

Thinking about the fact that she had not shown up from beginning to end, and didn't even give any advance warning, the Jackal couldn't help but have some malicious speculations.

"But... shouldn't it?"

The Jackal has a high degree of trust in his companions who share the same mission as him, and does not believe that they will betray him so easily.

After all, compared to Lin Wei, with whom he had a long-term friendship, what right did he have?

"Drip drip..."

Just when the Jackal's face was still uncertain, the communicator suddenly rang - there was a message from "Raven".

The jackal was so angry that he laughed, you came just in time!

She answered the call without saying a word.

"Raven, let me see how you are going to explain it!"
