Chapter 253: The Police Catch the Thief (21)
A few days ago, under the leadership of Bai Xi, the owner and chef of Lishuiju, who is also a supernatural trialist like Yechen, Yechen and Tang Wu went to the underground black market of this city for a turn, although they only roughly browsed the corner of this black market, but they had already deduced a lot of important information from Yechen. Originally www.biquge.info Catherine thought they were going to make some moves, but what she didn't expect was that Yechen had never left the door of the black cat since then, and this matter was lifted so heavily, and then gently put it down.
Of course, it's not that there are no changes, in Catherine's opinion, the biggest change is that in the past few days, Yechen has not even been willing to lie on his stomach behind the counter, but just in a daze in the study every day - of course, it can also be considered to be meditation, anyway, Catherine can't see any difference.
Although Catherine is also a fifth-order supernatural trialist, she is still far from reaching the level of Yechen in terms of controlling souls and playing with people's hearts. Until now, Catherine was still a little restrained and nervous when facing the captain. In her opinion, Yechen is really a bit unfathomable, the kind of city where heaven and earth calculate everything and the ability to control the overall situation give her a special majesty, even if Catherine has not seen the captain actually make a move for a long time - not for a long time, in fact, but never, Catherine has never seen Yechen release all her power, she is more inclined to achieve her goals through some means, rather than directly using force - but when facing Yechen, her heart is still full of a certain awe and obedience.
Now the black cat is still taken care of by Catherine and Hurt Yu, Wen Yun and Tang Yu still don't see anyone every day, and they have been busy outside, and it is said that they are still inquiring about news. During this time, as usual, they seemed to be living a peaceful life, unlike Hurt Rain, she always wanted to go out and play for a while, but Catherine preferred to stay in the store.
Before entering the seventh dimension to become a trialist, Catherine's hometown was suffering from the ravages of war, and it was truly an irrevocable memory. Years of war have caused all the men to die, and there is no way, she, a girl, is about to rush to the battlefield. Catherine remembers the first time she killed on the battlefield, when she was only twelve years old, and she was often hungry because she didn't have enough to eat.
At that time, her father and two brothers had already died in battle, and her mother went to the wild forest to find food for herself. Years of conquest and famine have drained dozens of miles of wild vegetables near the village, leaving only the wild forest where no one dares to enter, it is said that there is a group of evil wolves, who are the guardians of the mountain god, and those who enter the forest are dragged to sacrifice to the mountain god. No one could tell when this statement was handed down, and it was not known whether it was true or not, but anyway, the eldest grandfather in the village said that he had never seen anyone who came out of the forest alive. This saying has been passed down from generation to generation, making the forest taboo in the village, and parents often say things like "I'll throw you into the wild forest if I don't hear about it" when they discipline and scare their children.
It's not that no one has questioned this rumor, when the famine first broke out, some villagers who were really hungry and couldn't stand it chose to go into the forest, such a big forest, there must be a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms in it, and they also brought hunting bows and woodcutters, hoping to catch a roe deer, wild deer and other prey, so that the whole village can survive for a while. In the anticipation of the villagers, they left, and day after day waited, they never returned. This terrible consequence made the forest even more terrifying in the eyes of the villagers, many villagers would rather choose to starve to death than go into the forest and be dragged to the altar by the evil wolf as a sacrifice, believing that in that case their souls would never be reborn, and that their lives would be bitter enough, and that they would not be able to rest after they died.
Catherine's mother thought so, too, but after watching her youngest child starve to death in bed, she couldn't care about anything, she had to get something to eat, or she would be lying in bed, and her only daughter wouldn't live for more than a few days.
At that time, Catherine had not eaten a bite of food for three days, and it was said that she would not die if she did not eat for three days, but that was the usual situation, for a refugee like Catherine, who had not eaten enough once in more than a year, and was suffering from famine, three days without eating anything could already drain her already weak body. Catherine was already a little delirious from hunger, she dimly seemed to see her mother watching her all night, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, she struggled to speak, but she couldn't speak, she couldn't even tell if she really saw it, or if it was in a dream, or if it was just her own hallucination. In short, Mom is gone, and Catherine is in a deep coma.
These things were told to him by the old man who saved him, he was in his sixties, and he was about to go to the ground, but because of this damn war, he was forced to take up arms again and fight on the battlefield. He saw Catherine as he passed by on the march, and he didn't know what to think, so he rescued the thin little girl and brought her to the troops. In this way, the twelve-year-old Catherine became a warrior, a warrior who fought for her own kind on the battlefield......
How did she think of this again, Catherine shook her head, I don't know what's going on lately, she often falls into memories. That memory didn't have anything to remember for Catherine, only endless hunger and pain, why did she keep thinking about that!
Because of the hardships she endured as a child, Catherine liked the peaceful life very much, and she found it nice to run a small shop like this.
In the backyard study, Yechen, who was thinking, suddenly felt a strange soul fluctuation, she opened her eyes, her eyes turned into pure ink, penetrated the barrier of the wall, and saw Catherine who was wiping the shelves, and that strange soul fluctuation was emitted by her.
It seems that she is also going to condense her soul weapon, or soul skill, which is still unclear. Yechen reached out and grabbed a wisp of Catherine's soul fluctuations, and under the gaze of her ink pupils, the wisps of soul fluctuations gradually condensed, revealing a skinny little girl. After all, it was just a wisp of soul fluctuation, and it collapsed after condensing a little girl, but Yechen had already gotten the information he wanted.
Recall! Unexpectedly, Catherine's method of awakening her soul was quite peculiar, and she needed to find it in her own memories. Forget it, let it be, soul weapons or soul skills are not all trialists can awaken, and it doesn't mean how powerful they are, but they are the most suitable for themselves, and if you have them, it's very good, and if you can't awaken, you can't force them.
It's now more than nine o'clock in the morning, college students are either in class, and those who don't have classes are probably sleeping in the dormitory, so there is no one in the store, and the rain has also been borrowed by Wen Yun, and there is only Catherine left in the store, and it is not interesting to sit dry, she is cleaning.
At this moment, a strange customer came to the store.
It was a young girl, in her early twenties, dressed in a white shirt and washed denim, with a white hat on her head, and a large backpack that looked bulging and full of stuff. The girl's skin is a little dark, and it feels a little dusty, and it looks like this is a tourist who has come out to visit. But how did she get here, and did she want to come here to buy souvenirs? Although it sells gifts, it is not very local!
Since they were guests, they had to be entertained anyway, so Catherine walked over and asked, "Welcome, do you want to buy anything?" ”
The girl quickly looked at the shop and said, "I'm not here to buy something, I'm here to apply." ”
Apply? Catherine asked curiously, "As far as I know, we don't recruit outside the store, by the way, do you have any letters of introduction or anything like that?" "This statement is a bit strange, I didn't want to recruit just said, why did I ask if there was a letter of introduction. In fact, Catherine was worried about what kind of special person this was, and she was dug up by Wen Yun and the others. Catherine heard Hurt Rain say that they also opened a small shop in a mission before, but the captain Yechen brought a girl back, and she worked as a waitress for a while, she seems to be called Bridget or something, Catherine is worried that this situation will happen again, in case this is a key person, and it will not be good if he is blown away by himself.
The girl glanced at Catherine suspiciously, her answer was indeed a little strange, but after all, she was here to apply, and she didn't want to ask anything, and replied, "No, I don't have any letter of introduction." My name is Shu Mei, I am a fresh graduate of the Department of Secretarial Affairs of Tendelis New University, this is my graduation certificate, I want to take advantage of a free time after graduation to want to walk around the world, I came here three days ago, but because I have no money, I want to work with you for a period of time, save some money and then leave, is it okay? I am very capable of working, and I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, as long as I can ensure my accommodation, salary, you can watch and pay. ”
"This ......" Catherine hesitated for a moment, since she was not introduced by Wen Yun and them, she was purely here to work, she wanted to shirk it, although she enjoyed the feeling of taking care of this small shop, but Catherine did not forget that they were not really opening a store, but performing tasks in the mission world, the trouble was that they also chose the "thief" side in this mission, and there were many shady things on their hands, and it would always be a little inconvenient to let such an outsider in. Since this girl likes to travel so much, it is estimated that she is also a girl with strong curiosity and excitement, if she accidentally sees something and hears something, Catherine does not dare to guarantee that Wen Yun and the others will let her leave here alive, isn't this harming others?
With these thoughts in her mind, Catherine was going to reject her, this was a place of right and wrong, and it was really not a place for an ordinary girl like her.
Shu Mei also seemed to see that Catherine was not going to recruit herself, so she hurriedly changed her pitiful tone and said: "You can help me, it is very dangerous for a girl like me to travel alone outside, and I also found out that the owner and waiter in this store are girls before I decided to come here, if you don't want me, I really have nowhere to go, just help me!" ”
Catherine didn't know what to say at this time, she made an excuse and said: "You also see, I'm just a guy here who looks after the shop, so let's go and ask our boss, whether to recruit you or not, the boss has the final say." "Since it's hard for me to make decisions, let the captain do it.
"Well, thank you so much." Shu Mei said.
Catherine waved her hand and said, "You can sit in the shop for a while." With that, he walked towards the backyard.
As a result, as soon as she entered the backyard, Catherine heard Yechen's voice: "Take that girl to the living room, I want to see her." ”
Catherine was stunned for a moment, she really thought that her captain was meditating during this time, but she didn't expect that she was still watching what was happening outside.
Catherine nodded in the direction of the study and said, "Okay." Catherine can only do this, as for this ability to transmit sound through soul fluctuations, she has not yet learned it.
Catherine turned back into the store and said, "Come here, our boss wants to see you." ”
"Oh, okay." Shu Mei said, although it was a little strange that Catherine came back so soon, but now was obviously not the time to think about this.
Shu Mei put the backpack in the corner and followed Catherine to the living room in the backyard, where she finally met the boss of this somewhat mysterious black cat.
Yechen was sitting on the sofa at this time and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he saw Shu Mei coming, he said, "Sit down, Catherine, pour two glasses of water." ”
"Don't bother." Shu Mei said politely, and sat down obediently.
After sitting down, Shu Mei told Yechen the previous set of rhetoric again, and he was still secretly observing Yechen's expression when he said it.
As a result, Shu Mei was a little disappointed, Yechen didn't have any expression, just maintained an indifference, or a kind of indifference, she didn't listen to her very carefully, and from time to time she picked up a teacup to take a sip of tea, but did she feel that she didn't take her to heart, or left a focus on her.
After saying all the rhetoric that he had thought of on the road, Shu Mei looked at Yechen a little nervously, although he couldn't say how much impact it had, but if he could apply for a job here, it would save some trouble.
After she finished speaking, Yechen still didn't make any statement, just quietly drank her tea. Shu Mei admitted that this quiet atmosphere made her feel a little nervous, this strange mental reaction she couldn't figure out afterwards, it is said that she has experienced a lot of storms, this is not a critical task, how can she be so nervous, and only later did she know what kind of demon the young girl sitting on the sofa was when she first came here for an interview.
