Chapter Ninety-Nine: Bounty Hunters

"During the day," the manservant thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it during the day, and almost all of the people who have had accidents have been killed at night, and I haven't heard of anyone having an accident during the day." ”

"Is that so—" Cornelia pondered again.

The manservant on the side added again: "There are also people who sneak into it during the day, and they haven't encountered anything strange. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, boy, who wouldn't dare to sneak in?"

Before Cornelia could speak, the old clerk on the side began to scream loudly, and his expression seemed to be very anxious.

"emmmm," said the manservant with a slight smile at this time, "You should know that there is another kind of person who does everything for commissions, right?"

"I know!" the old clerk suddenly screamed, "I just know it's those rats who want money and don't want to die!"

Zhao Xi on the side was a little dazed by the conversation between the two at this time, thinking that this mouse was referring to the mercenaries he knew, but it didn't sound like it.

"Are the rats you mean the fierce-looking mercenaries?"

Just when Zhao Xi was struggling with whether to ask, Dorothy on the side opened her mouth first and asked the question that Zhao Xi wanted to know the most.

Zhao Xi glanced at the girl beside her with satisfaction, feeling that Dorothy still understood herself, and asked everything she wanted to ask.

"Mercenaries?" said the old clerk, shaking his head, "those people are even worse than the mercenaries." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xi was also interested when he heard this: "Old man, can you tell me more about it?"

"Tell me carefully?" The old clerk was also stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's not a secret anyway, I guess you will have to deal with these people in the future." ”

"Then thank you, old man!" Dorothy smiled sweetly at the old clerk.

I have to say that the lethality of Dorothy's smile is indeed huge, and the old clerk who was still angry just now also became kind when he saw the girl's smile.

"No thanks, just stay away from those rats, they're not good people. The old clerk waved his hand and said, "You must have heard about bounty hunters, right?"

"Bounty hunters?"

After Zhao Xi heard these four words, the first thing that appeared in his mind was the heroes who fought evil and received payment and only appeared in it.

"That's right, it's the rats that have been hiding in the dark. ”

When the old clerk talked about the bounty hunters, he had a very bad attitude, and seemed to really hate these bounty hunters.

Zhao Xi could see from the attitude of the old clerk that the bounty hunters in the other world were definitely not as positive as he understood, otherwise he would not have made the old clerk hate so much.

"At the beginning, the appearance of bounty hunters only accepted some tasks to hunt down criminals, and we would also give bounties to these people, and they got along quite happily at first, and the chaos and law and order at the beginning after the founding of the People's Republic of China also settled down a lot, but now..."

When he said this, the old clerk seemed to be angry, and slapped his hand on the table hard, making a loud noise.

The manservant on the side was frightened by this loud noise, and his originally clear eyes suddenly became cloudy, and then he looked at his surroundings blankly, as if he didn't know why he was here.

However, when he saw the three of Zhao Xi around him, he seemed to understand why he appeared here, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.

"Now they really do everything for money, even those rude mercenaries are not as good, but the mercenaries and the mercenary union are under control, no one can control them, sooner or later they will become sewer rats, everyone shouts and beats. ”

When he said this, the old clerk snorted coldly, and glared fiercely at the manservant on the side, as if he had a lot of opinions about him.

"I don't know where you know those rats, but for your safety, you'd better stay away from them, or you'll be in prison when you wake up. The old clerk said viciously to the manservant on the side.

"Me?" said the manservant, pointing to himself with some confusion, "what's wrong with me?

"Don't pretend to be stupid for me!" the old clerk slapped the table twice more and said, "Aren't you very good at showing off just now?

"But I really didn't..." The manservant was full of grievances, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"You don't want you, you don't have what you don't have!" The old clerk glared at the manservant again and said, "Anyway, you kid give me attention, I remember you here! ”

"I—" the manservant moved his lips, "Okay, you say yes and..."

The old clerk was obviously very dissatisfied with such an answer, so he glared at the manservant fiercely, and turned his head to look at Zhao Xi and the others on the side.

"Especially you two good-looking little girls, if someone else takes a fancy to this and pays the price, maybe one night you will be kidnapped by those rats. ”

The old clerk turned the conversation at the second daughter again, although the tone was very bad, but it could still be heard as a reminder.

"Thank you, old man. Doroku didn't care at all, just smiled sweetly.

"So what the manservant said just now is true?" Zhao Xi asked the old clerk.

"Hmph! It's all this kid's bad business," the old clerk snorted angrily: "There is basically nothing wrong with what I said, but there are some deficiencies in the details." ”

"Sure enough, there are resentful spirits, but would Shyrea really tolerate such things?" asked Cornelia, raising her eyes.

"Now that you know pretty much that, it's okay for me to say more. The old clerk adjusted his sitting posture and said, "But don't spread the word about it, this matter is still blocked." ”

"Tell me, we're not going to talk nonsense. Zhao Xi said on the side.

"I can still trust you. When he said this, the old clerk glared at the manservant again and said, "I'm afraid that some show-off boy will go around talking nonsense." ”

"Me again?" said the manservant, pointing his finger at himself with a look of wrongdoing, "Okay... Say whatever you want..."

"Anyway, if someone knows about this in the future, I'll be the first to find you!"

The old clerk intimidated the manservant again, and only after seeing that the other party seemed to be really scared did he withdraw his gaze with satisfaction.

But he also acted a little strangely, the current manservant felt a little different from before, a little like a different person.

But the old clerk was sure that this manservant didn't move a few times under his nose, how could he change people?

"Maybe the psychology of wanting to show off at that time overshadowed his reason, after all, young people are not like this?"

The old clerk thought and thought in his heart, and finally thought of only one possibility, but he didn't dwell too much, but almost explained it to the others.

"The city guards have been to the manor during the day, and they have found nothing unusual other than the corpse, and the wounds are also caused by themselves, most likely because they have manipulated their minds. ”

"But when the city guards investigated at night, they found nothing, just like an ordinary manor. ”

When he said this, the old clerk let out a sigh of relief and said, "Even if it is an ordinary person to investigate, it seems that the resentful spirit inside is like leaving." ”

"And by the time you let your guard down, the wraiths killed two more people?" Conelia asked.

The same can be said. The old clerk smiled bitterly and said, "This resentful spirit seems to have come to its senses, and there has never been such a strange situation except for this manor." ”

"Have you ever used a spell for reconnaissance?" Conelia continued.

"Spells?" the old clerk laughed and said, "The nickname of the Northern Magic Desert is not called in vain, how can any magicians come back to settle here, and most of the apprentices really stay, but what's the use of apprentices?"

"Don't you have any choice?" Zhao Xi asked with a frown.

"At first, the city guards wanted to report it, but in the end, they found that as long as no one lived in the manor, no such strange thing happened, so the matter was suppressed. ”

The old clerk picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip of water, and after saying so much, he obviously felt a little thirsty.

"Isn't this irresponsible?" Cornelia's face was a little unpleasant: "What if something goes wrong in the future?"

"I can't help this. The old clerk shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just an ordinary clerk, and those big guys have the final say in this kind of thing." ”

When the old clerk said this, Zhao Xi also vaguely remembered that he had heard the mercenaries say that there was a haunted manor, and he didn't know if they were talking about this one.

"This..."Dorothy's face was full of surprise at this time, "Then you still take out such a dangerous manor and sell it?"

"Don't lie to me!" the old clerk plucked his ears and said, "It's just work, and I've reminded you, if you don't listen to the reminder, then you can't blame me." ”

"How is it?can you deal with it?" Zhao Xi asked Cornelia on the side in a low voice.

"If it's a wraith that can't be used during the day, it's not very difficult for me to deal with. Cornelia whispered in response.

"Then let's go and have a look first?" Zhao Xi asked again.

Cornelia nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Old man, can you take us to that manor to have a look?" Zhao Xi turned his head to the old clerk and said.

"After all this, you still don't give up?" the old clerk raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want money and death?"

"That's not it, we can still tell the difference. Zhao Xi said slowly: "Mainly because my companion and I have dealt with a resentful spirit before, so I want to see the specific situation." ”

"Oh?"

When the old clerk heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xi opposite in surprise, as if he didn't believe that this young man could deal with that terrifying resentful spirit.
