Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lost Weapon

"How much does it hurt?" can you elaborate?" Marisa asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She roughly understood what had just happened, but there was only one question that she couldn't verify anyway, and it was still in her mind.

"Imagine a little bit, now I have a one-meter-long mace in my hand. Nalan said, opening his arms and gesturing, "Suddenly stuff it into your key parts, then let it spin at high speed, and then ...... again."

"Shhh......hh ”

"Wow!"

Remilia, who was sitting next to her, also let out an exclamation and covered her ears.

Among the women present, only Sixteen Nights Sakuya still did not change her face. The head maid was dignified at all times, without a trace of wavering or mistakes.

"So, after inflicting this level of pain on me, don't you say anything?" Nalan Twilight's words smacked of threat.

"Aha......" Marisa scratched the back of her head, laughed dryly, and lowered her head, "Got it, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... so recklessly"

"Okay, okay, you better take it back if you don't say it sincerely. Nalan slapped his hands and interrupted Marisa's apology, "You don't look like the kind of person who knows what you make mistakes and corrects them, so don't be yourself." ”

"Phew......" Marisa breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so hard for her to apologize in person.

"Speaking of which......" Nalan Yu looked the girl in front of her up and down and asked, "Looking at your outfit, could it be that you are a ...... Witch?"

He had heard rumors of witches from other vampires, saying that they were powerful humans and that they were magical creatures that were immortal. He himself had not met a living witch, so he was unable to verify the veracity of these hypotheses.

The girl in front of her was dressed exactly like the witch described in the legend, wearing a tall and pointed wizard's hat, and riding a broomstick to run rampant. However, because of this, he doubted his own judgment - this girl's dress was so in line with the image of a witch that it was almost like a deliberate imitation.

"It's not Ze, I'm just an ordinary magician daze!" Marisa replied with a grin, a little proud.

"Magician?"

"It's just an ordinary, magic-using human!"

"Hmm, is it?" Nalan pouted, "No wonder you exude the aura of a weak person all over your body." ”

"Hey, I'm not weak!" Marisa retorted as she pointed at Sakiya and Remilia's master and servant, "I beat them both to the ground some time ago!"

"Huh?" Remilia opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.

"Sakiya, has this ever happened?" she asked, turning to her servant.

"No, Miss, I'm afraid this is just a dream she had after she was beaten and stunned. ”

"Hahahaha, it's really pitiful for people who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality!"

"You two ......" Marisa's voice trembled, "I'm going to give you some color right now, so that you can see what I'm capable of Uncle Marisa!"

She bounced off the stool as soon as her ass bounced. Holding a broom in one hand and a small octagonal box printed with Tai Chi Bagua patterns in the other, he looks like he is going to someone.

"Hah!

"Please stand back, Miss, just leave it to me here. ”

The vampire master and servant over there also showed no weakness, and they were all eager to try. The two sides are tense and about to fight.

"You guys......" Nalan Yu cupped his forehead. He simply didn't know what expression to use to face these three people.

If you don't agree with each other, don't the people here have a little self-control?

"Hey, don't mess around in my shop!"

Before Nalan could stop him, Rin Nosuke walked out of the back room, still holding a large plate in his hand.

"Xianglin, listen to me......"

When Marisa saw that the savior was coming, she quickly ran to Rinnosuke, tugging at the corner of his clothes, trying to complain.

"Okay, okay, you're making such a loud noise, I can hear it in the back room. Rinnosuke put a few teacups on the plate on the table and beckoned, "Why are you still stunned? Drink tea, drink tea!"

"Miss, please use it. ”

Sakiya expertly adjusted Remilia's seat, placed another cup of tea in her hand, and stepped back behind her master.

"Whoa!" Remilia took a sip of the liquid in the clay cup, then stuck out her tongue and complained, "What kind of tea is this, it's obviously a pot of water, right?"

"Hmph, don't drink if you don't want to, no one asked you!"

Marisa crossed Jiro's legs and sat directly across from Remilia. After saying this, she took the teacup and drank it all, and after drinking it, she praised "good tea", which seemed to be on a par with Remilia.

However, as a child who grew up eating 100 family meals, maybe she really thinks this is "good tea" from the bottom of her heart.

"It's really hard for you to live until now without a sense of taste. If you eat poisonous mushrooms one day, you probably won't notice it!"

"Hmph, the guy who sucks human blood is embarrassed to ......"

"Alright, stop!" Nalan Yu couldn't stand the bickering between the two little girls, so she interrupted this unnutritious conversation.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and frowned.

"Incense...... Rinnosuke, do you have any better tea here?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Tea is an excellent refreshing drink for Rinnosuke, but he often doesn't have the heart to taste the taste of tea carefully when he is in deep thought, so he usually doesn't pay much attention to the selection of tea.

"Nothing, it's just that one of the two missions Reimu gave me has failed. ”

"Reimu asked you to come?"

"No, I'm just helping her. Do you have any good books here?"

"Do you mean good books other than the ones I'm reading, the ones Reimu has read, and the ones that Marisa has borrowed?"

"Hmm...... That's pretty much what it means. ”

"Sorry, no. ”

"Well, so both missions have failed. Nalan Yu took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"No, but ......" Nalan glanced at the shelves behind Rinnosuke and asked, "You won't mind if I walk around the store, right?"

"Not really, please take care of yourself. ”

Rin Nosuke originally wanted to remind the other party that it was almost time to close. But he thought about it again, and realized that it was a day for the vampire, so he changed his story.

Nalan stood up and walked around the store, fiddling with the goods on the shelves at random, and couldn't stop sighing in amazement.

"What you're selling here is kind of interesting. ”

If there is only one word to describe this prop shop called "Korindo", it is "warehouse". The interior layout of this store does not take into account the customer's perception at all, and the top priority is to store as many items as possible. Although it may seem chaotic at first glance, if you look closely, you can find many surprises.

Tape Walkman, Big Brother phone, pager, gramophone...... Even the avid collectors on the outside world would find it difficult to have such a wide range of inventory. This Xianglin Hall is more like a museum of the Industrial Revolution than a shop. From 18th-century stoves and looms, to 19th-century typewriters and cameras, to 20th-century computers and mobile phones.

In addition, there are many more bizarre props here, such as the charm of sealing the demon, the ominous sword, and other props that even Nalan Twilight does not recognize. It seems that the owner here is not just a fan of old appliances, but any props that look interesting are taken as they are.

"I thought these things were out of the way. Nalan said, gently brushing the dust off the roof of an old-fashioned TV.

If you want to talk about nostalgia, he really has a little nostalgia for the old days. However, many of the things that seem very nostalgic to him are probably still novelties in the eyes of Gensokyo residents.

"They're really out of history, and that's why they're here, isn't it?" Lin Zhi pushed his glasses and said slowly, "After all, isn't Gensokyo a place for things that have been forgotten by history?"

"Hmm...... It's ......"

Nalan Twilight's gaze stopped at a black iron box. The box had been idle for an unknown number of years, and the surface had been severely corroded, and there were even shriveled barnacles attached to it, which seemed to have been soaked in the sea for a long time. Its lid has been completely glued to the body of the box, and it is impossible to open it by ordinary methods.

"Oh, that'......" Rinnosuke walked closer, took a closer look, and said, "This is a box I picked up a long time ago, and there seems to be something in it, but it can't be opened at all, so I just keep it there." ”

"No, that's not the point, the point is, look!" Nalan twilight snapped some rust on the surface of the box with his finger and pointed to a somewhat vague icon on the lid of the box, "Do you recognize this?"

"No," Rinnosuke shook his head, "I've never seen this mark. ”

It was a simple cross, and Rinnosuke could guess that it was a symbol related to Christianity, but that was all he knew.

"It's ...... The emblem of the Anglican Church?"

Sakiya's voice came from behind, and when Nalan turned around, he saw that the three girls who were originally sitting at the table drinking tea and arguing were now gathered behind him, all looking at the box in his hand with curious eyes.

"Indeed," he nodded, "and I can probably guess what's inside." ”

With a strain of both hands, he directly tore open the lid of the tin box. Suddenly, a strong smell of kerosene came to his face, and the four people in the room, except for Nalan Yu, covered their noses with their hands and frowned.

"It smells terrible! What's in there?"

"Woo, it stinks daze!"

"It's mixed kerosene, rust-proof, and as for what's soaked in oil......

Nalan Twilight reached out and fished out a silver-shiny metal artifact from the kerosene and displayed it in front of everyone. The four of them looked closely and saw that it was a brand new revolver.

"This, this is ......" Rin nosuke lifted his glasses, stared at the pistol, and pronounced its name, "Revolver...... Made-to-measure...... The use is...... Exterminator?"

"Oh?" Nalan Twilight stared at Rinnosuke's amber eyes with interest and said, "I can't imagine that Brother Tai still hides this kind of trick?"

"Nothing, just a little bit of my talent. Rinnosuke faced Nalan Twilight's gaze and the gun in his hand, a little panicked, and quickly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, what is this gun ......?"

"Since you have that talent, I think you can see that this is no ordinary pistol. Nalan Hui wiped the oil from the surface of the gun and said, "This is a special gun made by the church to deal with vampires, and you can see that the badge on this gun is exactly the same as the badge on the lid. ”

"As far as I know, this gun is a model from the thirties of the last century. If it was really made at that time, and not copied by later generations, then it really drifted for a long time to come here. ”

"Also, there should be a special bullet in this box. If you use normal bullets, you won't have the effect of dispelling. ”

Nalan Yu put his finger in again, dug it carefully, and finally found a sealed small bag. He tore open the package and saw that there were three rows of twenty-one silver bullets neatly lined up.

"Seven rounds in one round, three rounds in total, just right. ”

He expertly reloads the pistol, pulls the hammer, raises the gun, and does it all in one go, without delay, like a sheriff in a Western.

"This gun, and bullets," Remilia asked, a little curious, "does it hurt to hit you?"

"Why don't we try it on the spot?" Marisa suggested with a wicked smile, "How about taking this guy under the knife?"

"What did you say?"

"Okay, okay, both of you pause. Nalan put down the gun, waved his hand, and explained solemnly, "The lethality of this gun mainly depends on the strength of the prey. ”

"If it's used against ordinary vampires or low-level goblins, one shot should be fine. ”

"And what about this thing?" asked Marisa, pointing at Remilia.

"IMHO, no fart. ”

"What, it's boring. Marisa pouted.

If it worked, she would still like to "borrow" it, but now she has completely lost interest in it.

"Hmph, I've known for a long time how a mere human weapon could have hurt Ben Remilia Scarlet. Remilia threw her head back and boasted a little arrogantly.

"Bah, stinking fart!" Marisa stuck out her tongue at her.

"What did you say? You rat!"

"If I were a mouse, you would be a bat, a mouse with wings!"

"Uh......h I'm so!"

"Hey......" Nalan sighed, this time he decided to ignore the two noisy imps.

"Can you take a closer look at this gun?" Sakuya asked politely as she took two steps forward and came to Nalan Twilight's side.

"Please. ”

Nalan put the pistol in Sakiya's hand.

Sixteen Nights Sakiya carefully examined the delicate killing weapon, stroking every part on it. The cold metal touch came to her mind from her fingers, and her face was reflected on the mirror-smooth surface.

For her, this feeling of holding a gun is really a long time coming.

"Reminds you of your past, doesn't it?" said Nalan Twilight with a smile and whispered in Sakuya's ear.

"Ahh

Sakuya "chuckled" in her heart and woke up from her memories. She retreated several times in a row, and then she noticed her gaffe, and couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.

"I'm just guessing. Nalan Yu took the pistol handed to him by Sakiya and said, "Once you guess correctly, you will not be responsible." ”

"Boss, how do you sell this gun?" he asked, turning to Rinnosuke, "I'm going to buy it." ”

"Are you willing to pay?"

"Of course, I pay in cash. Nalan twilight patted his bulging waist bag and said, "It's not the same as that poor witch. ”

"Okay, I sell this gun for a hundred taels of gold, do you pay for silver tickets or cash?"

"Take back the preface...... Nalan Twilight pulled out the hand that was reaching into his wallet, "I won't pay." ”
