Section 7 Lies and Truth
The author is doing his best to make up for his past debts, so please support me.
"Huh...... Where's Amber?
"Hmm. Lu Wu replied vaguely. "Found something?"
"Found it!" Speaking of this, Ren Jian looked frowning. He carefully explained the process of finding something.
The whole thing is much simpler than expected. Originally, Ren Jian thought that finding a taxi would be a difficult thing, but it was very simple. In fact, as soon as he got there, he spotted the taxi parked on the side of the road.
The car was parked on the side of the road, the lights were on, but there was no one in the driver's seat. The driver had apparently gone to a nearby public toilet.
The taxis all looked similar, so at first, Ren Jian didn't recognize them for a while. He looked through the car window into the skeptical past. But at a glance, he recognized that the car was his target.
In half a minute, the driver came.
What happened next was logical. The taxi driver was not interested in the steel sales contract, and he immediately admitted that he had indeed left documents in his car.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I want to wait until I'm free to send things back. That's what the driver said.
Of course, this is just talk. A contract with no name and no contact number is basically impossible for the driver to send back, and he has no obligation to do so. At most, just put it in a corner of the car and wait for someone else to come and find it. If no one comes, forget it. But someone came looking for it, and the driver didn't mind taking it out and returning it to someone else.
Ren Jian finished the whole process in one breath, and drank all the lemonade by the way.
"Lu Wu, where did this girlfriend of yours come from!" Because Amber was not there, Ren Jian was very open when he spoke. "It's so godly...... This is a fairy who rescues the suffering!"
"Actually...... She's just a witch. Lu Wu was struggling with the right words in his stomach.
The word "witch ......" made Ren Jian look particularly excited. When the big thing was done, he finally had the leisure to take a closer look at what was happening around him. As the saying goes, facts speak louder than words, and this is a typical supernatural event. Even if Lu Wu said "It's a coincidence", Ren Jian would not believe it.
They just pointed to the map and found the car...... What kind of ability is this!
In fact, human beings have been interested in supernatural events since ancient times, and countless myths and legends are enough to prove this. And this is especially true for modern people -- don't you see any flying saucers, aliens, gods and ghosts, and the like that have always been popular literary and artistic themes?
"Well, her mother is...... Gypsy. Lu Wu said. "I'm not sure about the pedigree, but that's how we should be...... The possibilities are high. ”
"Witch?!" Ren Jian's face was full of doubts. "Lu Wu, how do you know her?" In fact, he wanted to say how Lu Wu found such a beautiful Yanma, but he felt that it was inappropriate to say so.
"I said it was an accident, do you believe it?" Lu Wu asked. "I know her...... Specifically, I have only seen her in real life for more than ten days. ”
"Believe, of course I believe!" If it was in the past, Ren Jian would definitely not believe it. But now it's different, and I can't help but say he doesn't believe it. Actions speak louder than words. "I guess, did she call you at first, and finally offered to ask you to meet, and after the meeting, she directly said that you were the other half of her destiny?"
Lu Wu really didn't think about it that much, but Ren Jian's brain supplement was really powerful, so that many things that were difficult to explain could be explained immediately—or there was no need for him to explain at all. He couldn't help but nod.
"Lu Wu, you sent it!" Ren Jian patted Lu Wu's shoulder excitedly.
"I sent it?" Lu Wuyi couldn't come back to his senses for a while, why did he suddenly become me?
"As long as Amber calculates whether the stock will rise or fall tomorrow, won't she be able to make a fortune immediately?" Ren Jian said with a smile. "Buy a daily price limit...... Where is this divination, it's a mountain of gold! What kind of **** luck have you taken!"
It can be seen from Ren Jian's smile that in fact, this is just his casual talk, and he doesn't take it seriously. Because it's a simple logic: if divination could have been used so casually, Amber's mother (though she didn't actually have this person) would have become a well-known and wealthy person all over the world. In other words, everyone who can make a prophecy can become a rich man.
"Haha...... I finally ......" Ren Jian didn't continue the topic, but instead picked up the document bag with both hands, like a rare treasure. "Lao Tzu is really a man of great luck!"
With that, he leaned back on the couch, his eyes closed. At this moment, he really felt happy...... And exhaustion.
Three days of poor sleep is a big burden even for a young man like Ren Jian. Not to mention the ups and downs of emotions, which made Ren Jian even more exhausted. After the huge psychological pressure suddenly disappeared, Ren Jian's passion actually couldn't last long. The human physiological instinct temporarily overwhelmed everything.
"Slut, go back and rest. Lu Wu proposed. He could see that Ren Jian didn't need anything now, all he needed was a good night's sleep.
In this case, of course, Ren Jian will not refuse this proposal. He needs to go back to sleep, get everything done tomorrow, and then go home and get some more sleep.
"Well, Amber, can you predict the future, let's say the stock trend in a day's time?" After Ren Jian left, Lu Wu suddenly asked. Ren Jian's words just now gave him a big hint, if he can predict it, then it will be easy to make money. Stocks, futures, etc., it is not easy to make money, and it is reasonable and legal.
"Magic isn't everything, that's difficult......" Amber admits she can't. "That's a spell involving the first law, and people are really not good at it. Although the spells of the first law are all powerful, they are all very dangerous without exception. The price to pay for peeking into the future is heavy...... It's so heavy that no one wants to take it. ”
"Which is more dangerous than time traveling?"
"It's not comparable. It's fine to just peek into the future without changing it, but if the original goal is to change the future, it can be ...... Small-scale space-time fragmentation will also be annihilated by the warlock who casts the spell. ”
"Why is this happening?" Lu Wu was a little curious.
"It's actually quite simple, magic doesn't end when it's used...... Any magic will leave a mark on the world. For example, peeking into the future tomorrow morning, I can indeed use this first law magic to do this, but the effect of this magic itself will be delayed until tomorrow morning...... If you want to use it or change it in this case...... Remember the 'self-excitation' of that microphone on Earth, where the sound of the horn goes into the microphone, amplifies, and then a louder sound comes out of the speaker, and then it is sent into the microphone, and it is amplified again, and it is broadcast in the speaker...... And so on and so forth...... It's the same with magic, the end result is that the whole system can't support it and collapses. In the first law of magic, this 'system' is the space-time structure itself. ”
……
It was already midnight, three o'clock in the morning.
Even in a modern city with glittering lights and a rich nightlife, W City has now calmed down. With the exception of a few neon signs that never go out, the whole city seems to be falling asleep.
In the city, most entertainment venues will close during this time. Because except for a very small number of fanatics, at this point in time, the energy of ordinary people has been exhausted, and people need to go home to sleep and rest.
In the western district, on the edge of the city, or at the junction of the suburbs, an urban village, a bathing center also ushered in the closing time.
In fact, most locals know that this is not a bathing center, or that it is not just a bathing center. In addition to services such as bathing, there is another form of entertainment here, and that is gambling. Or to put it simply, it's an underground casino.
The guests have already left. Even the waiters who were in charge of cleaning and cleaning were over. Now there are only a handful of people left, and they are doing maintenance on some gambling props - adding lube, screwing or something - and it looks like everything is as usual.
In a relatively secret room on the second floor, someone was also busy. Several people are counting the week's turnover there. Of course, this day is always a critical moment, and at this time, either the boss himself or the boss's henchmen will be on the scene.
Today, both owners of the casino are here. One of them was an old man known as "Liu Ye", who was in his sixties and missing a finger. If the casino can be compared to the company, he is the chief engineer of the casino, a typical "technical position", and those who have seen him gamble in person know that this is indeed a thousand people. The means of playing cards are even more magicians than magicians. With his support, the casino has been opened until now, and there has never been a case of being bullied by others.
If Liu Ye is a "technical position", then the other owner of the casino is a "security position". This one is a local, not from the village, but a local person, nicknamed "Zhang Laohu". The nickname itself says a lot about it, and it is said that there is more than one human life under his hands. Of course, that's just a legend. At the legal level, even if Zhang Laohu didn't whitewash himself, at least he didn't let himself be wanted as a murderer, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay here.
This person named Zhang Laohu is a middle-aged man who is about 1.9 meters tall, with a fierce face, exuding a sense of ferocity that people dare not approach
At this moment, the two of them chatted while watching the employees on the side count the money. To say that the underworld opens a casino is really justified, although this industry is illegal, but the profits are really amazing. Several money detectors have been working hard for a short time, but they are still only counting a small part of the "mountain of money" piled up on the table.
As for the content of the chat between the two people, it is nothing more than the situation of other forces around them. Let's say two people have a dispute, so-and-so is arrested by the police, and so on. Zhang Laohu has recently heard bad news, and it is said that his casino has aroused the envy of others because of its booming business. It is said that there are already people who intend to act against them.
"Lao Hei was careless in his own work, and he was swept away by the strip once, and now he actually says that it is my black hand everywhere!" Zhang Laohu looked indignant. "He also threatened to give me a good look. I'd like to see whom, who looks good! I don't ...... this time."
A scream came from outside, interrupting him.
The two men looked at each other, and a few seconds later, one of his subordinates rushed over. "Boss, it looks like someone is coming to smash the field!"
"What's the matter, isn't the door locked?" asked Liu Ye.
"It's true that the door is locked, but I don't know...... Where did they come from?"
"How many people?" Zhang Laohu asked a more realistic question.
"It's like a person...... But...... It's amazing! Brought down two of us brothers at once!"
"Let the brothers copy all the guys!" Zhang Laohu snorted and pulled out a pistol from his waist. "No matter how powerful it is, it can fight bullets!"
That's right, the wind was tense during this time, so he bought a lot of real guys through some channels. Now the entire casino has actually been armed. If someone who doesn't understand comes over and smashes the field, hehe...... I promise that when they see Lord Yama, they will regret coming here!
