Following the guidance of passers-by, Asakura Ye soon came to the front of a house building in the middle of nowhere, and came to the door of the floor unit written on the note, just when he was about to press the doorbell, an old voice came from inside, "The door is not locked." Just come in and you're good to go. The tone was full of relief, and it was clear that there was no surprise at the arrival of Asakura Ha.

It's not easy. After Misaka heard the other party's words, he thought in his heart.

Asakura Ye also understood that he had fallen into the other party's trap, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, the old man's voice came again, "If you leave, your brother will know what you did." Ye Xuan. ”

Even the details of Ah Ye are clear. The old man's words surprised Misaka, and at the same time he was curious about what kind of person he was and what role he played in Asakuraha's life.

After hearing the old man's words, Ma Cangye, who had just turned around and was about to flee from this place, immediately stopped, and he didn't like to be threatened like this, he turned his head and glared at the door, his eyebrows condensed slightly. Even though he didn't want to go in, he finally chose to open the door and walk in.

After entering, what came into view was a bright and tidy living room, and the old man who had just been stolen by Asakura Ye was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with a kind smile on his face, looking at Asakura Ye who walked in front of him with appreciative eyes.

Since Asakura Ye was just following the old man just now, and didn't see his face, Misaka only really saw his front now, it was a skinny man, which would make people feel like they would fall apart if they touched it lightly. His head was covered with silver threads, but in the light of the setting sun, it was like dyed with a layer of shining crimson, and his face was full of wrinkles, and under the wrinkles, a kind smiling face could be seen.

This old man is not simple. His deep eye sockets shone with a fine light, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles. Obviously it was just a memory, obviously she wasn't really standing in front of him, obviously his eyes weren't looking at herself, but she clearly felt the essence of that look, and she always felt that she was being watched in 360 degrees without dead ends. It's really hard to connect this sharp eye with an old man who has vicissitudes of life.

Asakura Ye stared into the other party's eyes, trying to see a clue from his eyes. But the other party didn't care about his brows that were about to twist into a straight line, but looked at him with appreciation, and he trembled in his heart.

"Who are you?" asked Asakura Ha, dropping his wallet in front of him. It was obvious that he didn't want to be stared at like this, and he just wanted to get out of this place quickly.

"My name is Silver Fox. ”

Silver Fox?Is that a code name?

"Silver Fox, this shouldn't be his real name, right?" Obviously, Asakura had the same thoughts as Misaka, and understood that Silver Fox was just a pseudonym.

"A name is just a codename. Don't care. Looking at Ma Cangye's wary eyes, the silver fox poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the opposite side, "Sit down." I don't want to hurt you, on the contrary, I appreciate your talent. And invited him to sit on the chair.

"Are you a thief?" Looking at the harmless appearance of the silver fox, Ma Cangye did not take a step, but stood in place, looking at him suspiciously and asked. What skills he has, he still knows it, he doesn't know anything about serious knowledge, but he has learned a lot in the past few years. So after hearing the other party's words, I immediately understood what he was engaged in and what profession he was engaged in.

"Hmm. Taking out the white paper with the prescription written on it in the wallet, the silver fox pushed the wallet to the side of the teacup, "This is my gift to you." ”

Looking at the shredded paper that was discarded by the silver fox to the other side and the wallet that was pushed next to the teacup, Misaka understood that as long as Asakura Ye sat down, it meant that he accepted the other party's kindness, and it also meant that the two of them would be a group in the future.

At the same time, I am also curious about what is the reason why the silver fox is so good to Asakura Leaf, and work together? This is unlikely, although Asakura Ye is a habitual offender, his stealing skills are not very good.

If it weren't for his identity as a child, the adults had no defense against him, and Ma Cangye had a good grasp of the timing of the theft, with his ability, I am afraid that he would have been caught on the first day, although he was also caught later, but the other party saw that he was a child, so he just pushed him to the ground, scolded and left, and some were just kicked twice or slapped him twice.

And if you want to cooperate with Asakura Ye, just tell him directly, and if he refuses, threaten him with his younger brother. Although doing so will get his grudge, at least he can maximize the benefits he gets. There is absolutely no need to spend so much effort to lure him here and give him the money.

Don't... Is it to take Ah Ye as a disciple The idea of cooperation was left behind by Misaka, and at the same time, he was surprised to think of it after the other party took such a lot of trouble to let Asakura Ye come here, and his attitude so far.

Asakura Ye looked at the wallet next to the teacup without saying a word, and after thinking for a while, he began to take his steps, looking at his steps, the smile on the silver fox's face became even thicker, it was an indescribable joy.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Asakura after putting the wallet back in his pocket and drinking the tea from the cup. He didn't believe that the other party was going around in circles to let him come over, just giving money and letting himself drink tea.

"I just said it, and I appreciate your talent. ”

Sure enough, he took Ah Ye as a disciple! Looking at the smiling face of the silver fox, Misaka thought, proving that his guess was not wrong. At the same time, he also understands that the money just now is just to test what kind of choice Asakura Ye will make in the face of interests and morals, and the note of address is probably just a test of Asakura Ye's observation ability.

There is also a way to steal. A word she had seen in a book before suddenly came to mind, and when she saw this word in the past, she often scoffed at it. In her mind, thieves are thieves, and they have no morality to speak of, but now she understands that they also have their own boundaries to abide by.

"And then?" Asakura Ye didn't understand what the silver fox meant, but just looked at him puzzled and asked.

For Ma Cangye still didn't understand the meaning of his words, the silver fox couldn't help but smile bitterly. He originally thought that Asakura Ye could be heard, after all, he had passed his own tests. But now he had to re-evaluate his future disciples.

He is a person who does not forget the moral bottom line in the face of interests, and his observation ability is also very keen, but his comprehension ability seems to be very problematic, but forget it, the comprehension ability can be taught slowly in the future.

Thinking like this, the silver fox spoke, "I mean I want to take you as my apprentice, and I will guide you in more, more perfect, and more perfect stealing skills." ”

“.... Why me?" Asakura did not immediately refuse his invitation, but asked suspiciously. He didn't know why Silver Fox wanted him to be his student, and he didn't believe that the other party really valued his talent as he said.

"It's true that your talent is one of the things I look for, but what I value most is your kindness. You can make a relative choice in front of morality and interests, and maybe it will lead you to a point of no return, but you still choose this path without any regrets at all. ”

If this is not a test for yourself, but a genuine need for money to buy medicinal herbs, then taking the money back like this is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net. Although he can say that he picked up the wallet on the road. But with his character, this kind of thing will happen again in the future, once or twice, more times, and as he gets older, then he will also be listed as a target of suspicion.

"I've been watching you for three whole months, and every time you're looking for a target, you'll always be looking for a while to see if they're short of money. If you don't have a shortage, you'll target him, and even if you're poor, you don't want to steal from someone who doesn't have extra money to spare.

This proves that you have put a shackle on yourself, and while it is foolish to do so, it also shows your responsibility to that shackle and your obligation to hold on to it.

After choosing a target, you will slowly wait for him to show the most lax and unnoticed moment before starting to act, patience and observation are our most basic conditions. You won't be in the same place, because it will increase the chances of being exposed, and you will know how to move places every time.

Of course, the most important thing is that you are not greedy, you know how to accept it every time, and after completing today's work, even if there is a fat sheep at your fingertips, you will not be moved by it. You know that endless greed will only lead you to death

......”

"What's wrong?" was just as Silver Fox was recounting his observations and comments on Asakura Ye in the past three months, and found that he had not listened carefully to his own speech, but looked thoughtful about Asakura Leaf, thinking that he was hesitating to become his apprentice or thinking about something, but he couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"Nothing. You are the first to compliment me on my kindness. I was just a little surprised. Sparing his light red cheeks, Asakura Ye said with an embarrassed smile.

"The first person to say that I am kind has been betrayed by me to his enemies. Hearing Asakuraha's words, Misaka remembered what he had said when he was looking for Fantasy Mito together.

Could it be that the two of them will fall out in the future? Looking at Ma Cangye in confusion, he didn't understand why he would betray his master in the future, and he would betray him to the enemy. From the current point of view, there should be no conflict between them, looking at the Asakura leaf, who has fully accepted the silver fox, Misaka waits with curiosity for the answer to be revealed.
