It was two o'clock in the morning when entered the HOPE bar by swiping chips. For the hunters who are nocturnal in the bar, this is the time when the night carnival kicks off.Passing through a quiet corridor, HOPE opened his arms to them, the warm music was deafening, blue and purple spotlights swept over the head, there were hunters chatting and playing cards everywhere, and all kinds of combat bionics followed closely.

Deng Huailing often asks the proprietress Rolla to buy information, but he took a different path, and it was the second time he actually came to the bar.After a night of turmoil, he was exhausted and needed music and alcohol to wash away the dust.

However, the moment Deng Huailing stepped in, he regretted it. The hunters who were chatting, gambling, and drinking all turned their heads and focused their eyes on him and Rosie.They are so famous that they have been the subject of discussion in bars ever since the government broadcast that inexplicable promotional video throughout the city.

Deng Huailing is also a strange person who is outside the group. Although every hunter has heard of him, there are not many who have crossed paths with him, so when they appear, they arouse everyone's curiosity.

When the two walked to the bar, Grace, the waitress whom they met last time, was checking the drink bill and greeted casually: "Gentlemen, good evening, may I..."

"Two places on the terrace." Deng Huailing roughly knew the structure of the place, except that there were fewer people on the terrace.He glanced at Rosie, who was looking down to avoid the gaze because she was uncomfortable in the crowd.

"The terrace? It seems to be full." Grace noticed that the other party's voice was a little familiar, raised her head, and her eyes suddenly became excited, as if she had caught some big news, "Deng...Mr. Deng!"

"Is it not possible?" Deng Huailing said, "Then please help arrange a separate room on the second floor, my companion doesn't like places with too many people."

"Yes, yes!" Grace nodded fiercely, "Please come to the terrace with me directly, and it is also possible to help you with extra seats!"

Her attitude changed so quickly that Deng Huailing remembered that this girl seemed to be working part-time as an intern reporter for the entertainment edition of "Hunting Group" and wrote "Heinous! Exposing the chaotic private life of a bounty hunter with an hourly salary of 30 million""Sensational headlines such as "Top Ten Coolest Hunters Annual Ranking" are gossip articles with strong personal preferences, but they are widely circulated.

Grace led them to the terrace on the second floor. This is an area illuminated by warm yellow floor lamps. The wine tables are separated by flower stands, facing the river that traverses the city.It was raining outside, and the raindrops fell on the glass panel overhead, making a tinkling sound.

Obviously the terrace is a sought-after place, and it was already full of hunters, so Grace kindly asked someone to bring tables and chairs and add them to the corner of the terrace.After submitting their order, she still stood by the table and took out the recording pen, her bright eyes hovering between Deng Huailing and Rosie.

"Ask whatever you want." Deng Huailing saw through her intentions very early on, and said helplessly, "I will answer three questions, and I will take it as a thank you for helping us with extra seats."

"Okay!" Grace was eager to try immediately, "May I ask the case of Mary Ellis' death in the 'banquet' that was very sensational some time ago—"

"I can't comment on the details." Deng Huailing recalled the official statement again, "Oh, it is said that he was shot to death by fanatical fans?"

"What is said! Mr. Deng, you are the bounty hunter in charge of this case, how could you not know?" Grace said angrily. The hunter in front of her claimed to answer questions, but she didn't plan to reveal anything to her at all.

"I know." Deng Huailing looked at her with a smile, "You just used up the second question."

"Why are you—" Halfway through Grace's words, she suddenly realized that this was also a question, she quickly covered her mouth, and stared at Deng Huailing instead.Bounty hunters are like this, they are more slippery than catfish, as long as Deng Huailing doesn't really want to tell her, he can't catch the opponent's tail.

There was only one last question left, and Grace's eyes fell on Rosie who was opposite Deng Huailing.It was the question she'd most wanted to ask, but the allure of the Mary Ellis news made her put it off.

Grace cleared her throat: "I heard that Mr. Deng has always been extremely resistant to bionic technology. Why did you accept the combat bionic equipped by CyberRose? Can you understand that this bionic has changed your mind? Are you currentlyWhat is your emotional attitude towards androids?"

She threw out three questions in one go, but Deng Huailing did not correct them sharply, but lowered her eyelashes and began to meditate.Grace secretly rejoiced, it seemed that she shouldn't have asked about the previous social news, in front of a tight-knit person like Deng Huailing, it was the right way to ask some gossip to fill the entertainment page.

"It was Rosie who changed my mind." Deng Huailing said slowly, "I am willing to trust him because he is more trustworthy than most humans, and we are very compatible in combat style, that's all."

Grace obviously showed disappointment, she originally planned to induce Deng Huailing to say a compliment, so that there would be raw materials for processing, but the compliment she heard was also so brief, which was in line with the other party's personality: "Is there any more?"

"What do you want to hear?" Deng Huailing didn't know why, "There are many reasons to hate someone, but you don't need to like someone?"

He said it frankly, but Grace's ears had a completely different meaning.She put away the recording pen with bright eyes, thanked the two, and rushed into the bar like a gust of wind, the news headline that exploded in her mind was already conceived.

After Grace left, the terrace fell silent.But the silence didn't last long, even though the place where the two were sitting was remote, many hunters took pains to go around the flower stands and approach them with wine glasses.

The social activities lasted for more than an hour. The terrace was bustling with people. Group after group of hunters climbed up to the second floor. Usually the first few said goodbye, and the latter came over to say hello.The promotional video broadcast in the city some time ago showed the close relationship between the two of them and the government. A major source of hunter missions was the government's release, so Deng Huailing was rarely asked how to establish contact with the government.

There were also some people who focused on Rosie. Bounty hunters were always a group of rough people. Although they had restrained themselves because of Deng Huailing's face, they still aroused his displeasure.

It was late at night when everyone finished greeting and dispersed, and finally there were only the two of them behind the flower stand.The icy river rushes by, and the heavy rain splashes sparkling waves on it. On the other side is the other half of the city full of brilliance.
