Section 4 Visitors 4
The lights in the high-end Chinese restaurant are dim, but you can see. Waiters dressed in ornate uniforms and move lightly and swiftly shuttle through the process. It's late at this point, but where there is demand, there is a market. Twenty-four-hour fine dining restaurants are not uncommon in the city. Of course, this price is placed in the mainland, and there are few or no customers guaranteed - but as everyone knows, gamblers' money is not actually money. When you lose, the money will disappear into the gambling game, and when you win, you won't care about the high prices in the city.
Would a person who has earned tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of dollars in a day care about a meal or a set of clothes worth thousands of yuan?
The girl next to her was a little surprised. When she first picked up the chopsticks, the fat man almost thought that the other party had never used the chopsticks at all. Because she is like those Europeans and Americans who saw chopsticks for the first time in the movie, she picked up a wooden stick with one hand, and then looked left and right curiously. But when the fat man picked up the chopsticks and picked up the things by himself, he saw that the girl had changed to the same action. Her use of chopsticks is exactly the same as that of a veteran, that is, a normal Chinese. This is definitely not a novice move.
Little did he know that there was a supernatural ability in the world that allowed people to control their bodies with their minds rather than their nerves. In the face of this supernatural ability, a newcomer can do as well as a veteran, if not perfectly.
But when she put a piece of seafood in her mouth, the fat man bet, and the other party hesitated for a while. The subtle change in her expression suggested that she was very unfamiliar with the smell - perhaps too stimulating. But the fat man is also sure that the taste of this seafood is moderate, far from being heavy.
Of course, she just looks like a girl. What exactly she is, the fat man is not the slightest sure. The other party follows him like this, just like a girl in love following her lover. But he knew that the other party was not his lover at all, let alone the rogue that some people thought.
Although she was dressed in a costume, which resembled a cosplay (which was normal for her age), this girl was definitely not an ordinary person.
"That," after a long time, so long that the two of them had eaten a lot (the girl's appetite was very good, even if she didn't eat more than the fat man, at least not less than the fat man), and the fat man finally spoke carefully. "Where are you going next?"
"I have nowhere to go. The Stygian replied. "For the time being. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her.
"And where are you staying at night?" the fat man continued. As long as the other party says a place name, no matter how tired she is, he will send her back. Just taking a taxi or something, what is it to him now?
To his despair, the girl in front of him just shook her head. "Nope. ”
If he was still scared before, then now he can already feel his legs tremble. To say that there are homeless homeless people in the city, he believes it. After all, cities with a population of hundreds of thousands (if you add outsiders, they are all millions), say that there is no dark side, then it is estimated that no one will believe it. Not to mention that it's still a casino...... But what is the concept of a homeless person? Such a girl...... Regardless of the rest for the time being, with such an age and such a good look, there will be no place to live? Even if it falls to the worst level, it won't be without a place to live, right?
Then all of a sudden, he found something that shouldn't have been done - the girl's hands and shoulders were empty. She doesn't have the satchel that a modern woman has. Also, not only the satchel, but also her phone. Although today's mobile phones are small, they are always a small thing, either directly in their hands, or they have to have a place on their bodies.
It's not impossible to say that this year, a girl went out without a mobile phone or a satchel...... But it must have been something so urgent that I forgot it in a hurry. But this one, who said that she forgot to bring her mobile phone and bag because she was in a hurry to go out, at least the fat man himself was the first to take the lead and didn't believe it. Is this really not a human? Is it a youkai? Or is it a female ghost?
He was calm, and the drink he had just drunk during the meal had unconsciously turned into a cold sweat, which bubbled out uncontrollably, and even wet the hair on his forehead.
"You just won a lot of money...... Are you happy?" the girl asked again.
"Yes, it's a pleasure. The fat man tried to smile, but his smile was worse than crying. He slowly pulled out his phone, as well as his credit card. Don't look at his previous determination to "go to the sea if you lose everything". But that's the so-called gambler's mentality, to put it bluntly, it's a state of distorted reason. If you really settle down and really solve the previous predicament, who will die? Who will be willing to die?
He looked into the other's eyes, which, as I had said earlier, were a complete blackness, with nothing in them, as barren and desolate as the deepest part of the ocean. Then he found another piece of evidence to prove his inference - the girl's lips did not move from beginning to end during the conversation just now.
The girl didn't speak all the time. So who said what he heard? He couldn't imagine it. He held the cup in his hand, but it was shaking violently.
The waiters on the side are specially trained. They all understand that this kind of ambiguous situation between men and women is very unwelcome for a third party to stand by their side as a light bulb. Therefore, except for the necessary serving, they all stand quietly in a distant position, and do not deliberately eavesdrop on the conversations between guests.
"That...... You...... You ......" The fat man found that he could no longer control his hands and feet. Although he wanted to say, "Are you a human or a ghost?", in fact, the sentence was never spoken, because not only his hands and feet, but also his throat were out of control. If people are not afraid of death, in fact, demons and monsters are not afraid. But it's the other way around.
"I speak to you in the language of the heart. Zhu Hua said. She was slightly stunned by the other party's fear. But come to think of it, this place should be a peaceful place away from war...... After staying in this environment for a long time, it is clear that the indigenous inhabitants of this world have lost their courageous spirit, but have become cowardly and timid. It made her breathe a sigh of relief and feel bored at the same time.
The word "language of the mind?" calmed the fat man. Before, because of all kinds of willingness, he didn't notice that the other party was talking to him in this way. But since the other party said so, he suddenly thought of another possibility.
"Super ...... Superpowers?"
"Let's just say that. ”
"Aren't you a ghost?" the fat man asked, calming down. Through mental induction, Zhu Hua understood the concept of "ghost" for the first time, so he immediately understood that the other party had made a mistake.
"I don't know if people in this world will become ghosts when they die," she said. "But I'm not. ”
"It's not a ghost...... the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again. "Then you ......"
"Don't ask me who I am...... I need a place to live now. "Although there are many kinds of clothes in this world, with many styles and colors, it is better to change her clothes." After all, to integrate into this world as soon as possible without being discovered, then changing clothes can be said to be essential. "As compensation, I can let you ...... Every day I am as happy as I was before. ”
This is a suitable condition. She pondered. Although not specifically trained, the Ranger curriculum itself involves infiltrating enemy towns and villages disguised as civilians. Of course, that situation was very different from the one she was facing now. But the so-called touch bypass, so she came up with this solution. Or rather, this is the first attempt she made after weighing the pros and cons.
Although she is calm on the surface, it is actually because she uses her magic to control her body so that it does not make some secret moves due to nervousness. In fact, she was afraid that the fat man would do something dangerous. Although it seems that it is easy to clean up the fat man (he doesn't seem to know how to fight at all), in reality, the fat man's cries for help, struggles, resistance, and even his death itself (because it will leave a corpse) can lead to unpredictable dangers. If this society mobilized to search for her, it would be difficult for even a warlock to hide in such a strange environment for a long time. And once the identity is revealed, even if you think about it with your toes, you know the consequences.
It is impossible to stand up to a society by the strength of one person. Not to mention her, not even those legendary First Lawyers, who possess supreme power, can't do anything. Unless you're planning a risky invasion, warlocks know it's the right thing to do.
However, it is very likely that the fat man will agree to cooperate. From the first meeting and contact between the two parties, she has been carefully observing the fat man. So she could be sure that the previous gambling victory was so significant to the fat man that it would not be an exaggeration to call it Nirvana rebirth. This means that her proposal is very attractive to fat people.
However, the fat man did not accept it immediately. In fact, he behaved hesitantly. This made Zhu Hua involuntarily nervous. If the fat man calls for help, then at least ten attendants around will hear his scream. What should she do? kill everyone, or use magic to forcibly hypnotize the fat man?
"That...... The ......" The fat man hesitated for a moment before finally replying. "My visa is only a few days away and it is about to expire. ”
A few days later. The fat man stepped on the land of Zhuhai with his feet and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was still terrified when he passed the test before, because the "three-nil girl" followed him so openly. If there is anything in the inspection, it will be a big one. But things were far simpler than he thought. Because the others, including the professionals, all turned a blind eye, and seemed to be unaware of this person's existence, and just indulged her to pass the test.
This one...... It's the so-called superpower, right? The fat man confirmed it again. He couldn't tell if it was a blessing or a curse to have such a girl by his side, but he knew that he couldn't refuse such an offer. Or, in this world, who can refuse such a sure-fire offer? This girl is obviously a bit of a problematic origin. However, it is a true since ancient times that the bold will starve to death the faint-hearted, and a risk and a benefit will be achieved. Don't miss out on such an opportunity!
"We're here!" said the fat man, in high spirits.
"Nice place. Zhu Hua said. It's also a big city, not as bustling as it used to be, but bigger. She knew she had succeeded. It's easier than you think to fit into the world.
However, the next step is not so easy. Who knows where her target, or Lu Wu, is?
