Chapter 80: The Bad Luck That Can't Be Escaped

Twilight glanced at a burgundy gemstone pendant on the counter.

It was a delicate pendant in the shape of a water drop, cut in a pear shape that made the whole gemstone resemble a crystal clear droplet, and the light reflected by the light was even comparable to that of a diamond.

In addition to the whole gemstone, a swan-shaped base made of platinum is used, and the overall look is natural, showing an indescribable beauty.

But she didn't buy the pendant, hesitated for a moment, and turned to the other counter.

But after several turns, Twilight still couldn't make a decision, it seemed that there was a comparison of the first one, and the rest of the styles were boring in her eyes.

Eventually, she returned to her most open position, the ruby pendant that magically attracted her eyes and made it difficult for her to get rid of it.

"If you like it, buy it. Yu Zhe looked at Shi Duluo's tangled appearance and interjected.

He glanced at the price of the pendant and felt that it was not so expensive, and if Twilight really liked it, he wouldn't mind paying for it, so he would laugh at it.

"Hey...... I do love it, but it's not for the birthday party we're going to. Twilight sighed in distress, whether to buy or not to buy, this is indeed a headache for her.

"Why?"

Yu Zhe was a little puzzled, and Shi Duluo told him about the set of "character design" that he had just thought of.

"It's just a task...... Why do you think it's so troublesome......" Yu Zhe had a headache when he heard this, originally a commission that he thought was quite simple, but listening to Shi Duluo's explanation, it instantly became difficult.

"It's not as complicated as I think. Twilight frowned slightly and explained, "We are attending the birthday party as openly invited guests, and hundreds of pairs of eyes may be looking at us at the party, if our disguise is not perfect, when the police investigate, they may tell information that is not good for us......"

"But what does that have to do with this pendant. Yu Zhe seemed to understand the set of character problems that Shi Duluo said, but he still couldn't guess the connection between the two things.

"This pendant comes from an extremely niche high-end brand in country P, the designer of this brand focuses on low-key luxury, abandoning the bells and whistles of decoration, and constructing the artistic conception with the simplest lines, and this pendant is a limited edition launched last fall, a total of five in the world, and we have only one in the entire L city, if I take it to the cocktail party, then it will be very different from the character I want to show, I don't want our well-planned bureau to be destroyed in the end on a pendant. ”

Although she never buys luxury goods, she still knows a little bit about the field of design, and the knowledge in her head is very mixed, because she always believes in this information, and she may be able to use it when it will be useful.

“...... Excuse me, please wrap this pendant, we want it. ”

After listening to Twilight's explanation, Yu Zhe was silent for a while, and then pointed directly to the pendant in the counter and said to the staff, and before Twilight could refute, he had already swiped the card to pay and took her out of the store with the pendant.

"Hey, did you listen to me seriously!?" Shi Duluo was not moved by Yu Zhe's behavior, but was stunned.

"Listened carefully. Yu Zhe said solemnly, "But so what? It's just a pendant, you're too nervous, you're just a passerby to the people at the party, not so many people will notice you, so why don't you make yourself happy?"

"But even one person notices that it's a danger to your identity!Since we've done it 99 percent, why don't we do it 100 percent!" Twilight frowned and accused, she didn't want anything to go wrong, so she didn't allow anything imperfect to happen.

"I can already do it 100 percent, there's no need for you to bear the extra 1 percent!"

Yu Zhe grabbed Shi Duluo's wrist, his eyes were resolute and bright, this was undoubtedly one of the few words he said that could touch Shi Duluo.

"I just want to do my best to protect your ......" Twilight lost the "aggressive" momentum she had just had, and her eyes were full of affection, and she looked at him gently.

"It's enough for me to protect you. The corners of Yu Zhe's mouth raised a slight arc, and he reached out to gently support Shi Dusk's back neck and took her into his arms.

Confusion and shock poured into Twilight's brain.

This isn't Yu Zhe at all, right?!

She said in disbelief, in her eyes, Yu Zhe is a straight man of steel who can't even say earthy love words, although the level of what he says now is still not enough to "flirt" with her, but in her eyes, this is already a great progress.

"I know you're a perfectionist...... Yu Zhe quickly let go of Twilight and stuffed the delicate locket with the pendant into Twilight's hand, "So, whether you decide to take it to your birthday party or not, you just think it's a gift from me." ”

When Twilight opened the box and saw the touching burgundy gem again, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Forget it, I'll take it with me." ”

I really hope that there won't be any problems then......

Soon, the two of them bought the props needed for the mission.

As far as Twilight is concerned, she just wants to get home as soon as possible, after all, she doesn't want to trigger the annoying passive ability that "gets involved in strange events as soon as she goes out".

And the truth is like Murphy's Law, bad things always happen.

Especially for people who often have bad luck as a high probability event, "you will encounter bad luck when you go out" is completely an inevitable event.

The two just wanted to buy a bottle of water at the convenience store, but within a few minutes, bad luck befell them.

They lined up, and there seemed to be four customers in front of them, and the checkout was a man with a hood.

Everything was going very smoothly, but I never expected that the hooded man suddenly took out a sharp knife from his arms, aimed it at the cashier, and loudly threatened her to take out all the money.

"??? isn't it, isn't it?, why did you let me catch up with such a small probability event?" Shi Dusk was desperate, and several customers and salespeople in front of her screamed, which made her ears hurt.

The people who were still in the store gathered when they heard the noise, but looking at the situation in front of them, their first reaction was to leave quickly, and the entire convenience store was suddenly in chaos.

The scene became a little out of control, and the hooded man obviously didn't realize that it would develop like this, so he thought about it left and right, and with a ruthless heart, he actually took out another handful of ...... Pistol?!

"Heh......" Twilight rolled her eyes, such a bloody development really didn't surprise her at all.

"Get all together!, crouch on the ground!" shouted the hooded man, pointing his gun in one direction.

The people present were frightened and did not dare to act rashly, so they could only do what he said.

Yu Zhe is really quite helpless, before he faced the so-called "passive skills" of Shi Duluo, most of them were joking, but after experiencing these incidents, he finally believed that this girl's bad luck was real, and things that normal people could not touch in their lives would happen to her with a very high probability.

He couldn't hold it back, and even though the person in front of him had a weapon, he still had ten thousand ways to subdue him.

Shi Duluo looked at the surrounding environment, stopped Yu Zhe, pulled him to stand in an inconspicuous position in the innermost part of the crowd, and whispered in his ear: "Forget it, there is no big incident, he will leave after the robbery, there is no need to force his head." ”

"Have you put up with this?"

Yu Zhe thought of the experience of meeting the thief before, and it made sense if it was said that "more is better than less" at that time, after all, it has nothing to do with them, but this time, they are really in "danger".

"He's only for money, he doesn't have the ability to hurt people, even the gun is fake, it's just a bluff, if you control him now, and the whole process is recorded by the surveillance, it will probably make headlines tomorrow, what to write 'The convenience store was robbed, the mysterious man stepped forward and subdued the armed gangster with his bare hands' Do you guess the police will investigate you?"

Yu Zhe felt that there was some truth, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was something wrong with what Shi Duluo said.

"The gun is fake?"

"It must be that the kind of gun he is holding can't even get his hands on Morin, if he really has this kind of self and channels, what kind of robbery will he come to do...... Besides, he also brought sights to the pistol on this occasion, and it is estimated that that is the ammunition feeding system of his so-called gun...... The most important thing is that you have a knife and a gun at the same time, which one will you take first when you rob?"

"Knife, ......," Yu Zhe replied with a blank face.

"Forget it...... You are the exception. Shi Duluo sighed, after all, for a "biased" killer like Yu Zhe, he must choose the most confident way to attack, "I'll give you an analogy, you just understand what I mean." ”

"Hey, what are you two muttering!" the hooded robber yelled as he asked the cashier to put the money in the bag and pointed in the direction of Twilight and Yu Zhe.

Although it looks scary, you can tell at a glance that he is not confident enough, and he is obviously afraid.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, don't hurt me......" Twilight changed her attitude for a second, holding her head with her hands, her voice trembling, and she looked terrified.

Yu Zhe was very embarrassed, he didn't feel scared, but he still had to cooperate with the "performance", and his expression didn't look natural at all.

The hooded robber didn't see anything wrong with Yu Zhe's state, he was really too nervous, and the hand that connected the money bag was trembling.

"What's the matter!"

The hooded robber was a little emotionally broken, yelling hysterically, watching the little cashier so frightened that he couldn't even finish his words, and directly crossed the counter and found that there was indeed no money inside, and the state became even more crazy.

Twilight watched this farce coldly, as if she was out of the game, and all the dangers had nothing to do with her

At the same time, she also noticed that someone was secretly calling the police.

Looks like things are getting troublesome again......

Looking out the window, the clouds were thick and it seemed that thunder had sounded in the distance.

"I don't know if I can rush home before it rains......"

Twilight looked at the sky, desperate, she hated the rain the most.
