Hiss~

Waking up in a sore back, Donald woke up to a wall covered in wallpaper with moon flowers as a pattern, this was not his home, and he was now sleeping on the floor, with the sofa next to it, and a crumpled blanket on it, which should be where he should have been.

Sit on the sofa and try to fit your back against the back of the sofa to relieve the sourness of your body, and the memories will flood in the next moment.

Memories of last night in the storage area and memories in dreams.

Yes, the Dream Water didn't really make Donald lose his memory of last night, the bottle of Dream Water that Yako took out was just for ordinary people, and Donald was obviously not in the ranks of ordinary people, especially under the premise that his mental strength was already stronger than ordinary people.

It's not that there is no dreaming water for strangers, it's just like a rat monster transformation potion, it's very valuable, a bottle will cost 3 gold pounds or more, and there is no mine in the Righteous Church's station, and 3 gold pounds of dream water can't be mass-produced.

Checking the belongings of the body, the wooden box and notes were taken away, and the tracing powder was still in the pocket, but it seemed to have changed positions, and the remaining coins ..... The money bag is still there.

All poured on the table, a total of 3 gold pounds and 15 shillings, and 10 pence, and counting what he has now, about 5 gold pounds, before he knew it, Donald became a small person with savings.

It's just a small thing.

Bang Bang~

There was a sound on the other side of the stairs, and the well-dressed Sherlock probably heard the sound coming from the living room and slowly descended from the second floor.

"Don't think about it, you met the special department last night, and you also saw the ability of the rat catcher, in order to ensure your safety, they erased your memory, you should have a sleep, Mr. Abel's commission has been completed, the location of the rat catcher you found, it should be rewarded, 2 gold pounds, your share, as for the details, you still don't ask, I won't tell you." ”

Giving the answer to all the questions in one go, the Donald of the province asked east and west.

"Why haven't your memories been erased?"

Opening his mouth, Donald was still thinking about how to fool the past, but now he saved it.

"They didn't notice me, in fact I found out that there was a government intervention and hid until the sound of fighting was over outside, and saw you collapsed in front of a warehouse with jewels stolen by the rat catchers. ”

"I see, then I'...... Go buy breakfast and come back to work. ”

I also want to go home, look up at the wall clock above the fireplace, seven o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour to work.

"Don't forget to bring one for me, and treat me to a meal as payment for taking you to the underground black market tonight. ”

Sherlock was posing on the single-seater couch, and he promised Donald yesterday that if the commission was successfully completed, with the money, the two of them would go to the underground black market for a walk.

Hearing this, Donald's spirits lifted, and he was still looking forward to the underground black market, so he first went to the kitchen on the first floor to wash his face and rinse his mouth simply.

The hot breakfast appeared on the table in the living room at half-past seven, and Sherlock was in the groove at this time, and Donald did not disturb him, but sat aside and continued his work.

Opening the file bag, the documents inside had been replaced, this time a new text combination, and Donald didn't have a problem with that, his job was to translate anyway.

It was only as the translation progressed that he noticed that the things on it didn't seem to be disrupted, and that all the text combinations had their own meanings.

Air-dried eagle's right eye, gray vever, mud larvae...... The names lingered in his mind, these things were obviously not just sentences, and Donald could feel that these should be the ingredients in a certain recipe.

Sherlock suddenly handed this thing to him for translation, most likely because he was going to the underground black market at night, and he happened to select the part of the material that needed to be translated.

It's a pity that these are just names, and they don't follow the required amount, otherwise Donald would really want to try to imitate them.

"Uhh......h Today's progress is good, six items have been translated. ”

Stretching his body and walking towards Donald, he looked at the contents of the document marked in lingua franca, and was a little surprised.

"Just like I said last time, these are all coherent words, easy to associate, I find that they seem to be the names of the ingredients, some special potion or formula?"

Instead of turning around the bush to cause disgust, it is better to ask bluntly, after the run-in of the first commission, there should be a preliminary foundation of trust between the two.

"I don't know very well, it should be the formula, as for what it does...... I can't tell you, but I think you've guessed, Donald, you're smart, and I have to admit that they're erasing only your memories of last night, at least the memories you had before that, like the fact that the ratcatcher wasn't an ordinary person. ”

It's not uncommon to come into contact with strangers, I don't know how many strangers are hidden in the city of Pston, and it's not uncommon for people to occasionally find some special phenomena, Sherlock himself is an eyewitness and an ordinary person, so he doesn't pay much attention to this, and it is completely regarded as a talk to pass the time in his spare time.

"Presumably, the rat catcher can control rats, can he really do it?"

As an amnesiac person to pretend to have amnesia, Donald's acting skills can only be said to be heartfelt and natural.

"Of course, how else would you steal jewelry. ”

If Yako had known that Sherlock had given away information about the ratcatcher so casually, he would have regretted not letting him drink a bottle yesterday.

"Did you find a way to control the rats when you found the jewels? ”

What he had done, of course Donald knew, was just a decoy, and he wanted Sherlock to continue the topic, since he couldn't go straight to it, then rub it slowly.

In his previous life, as a debater, Donald was good at thinking about the details, which is to draw inferences from one another, and the ability to organize language in a short period of time, which some experienced police officers will also have, and they often start with some trivial things in life when interrogating criminals.

When people talk about some inconsequential trivial things, the defense line in their hearts will involuntarily relax, and then quietly change the topic at a certain point, most criminals will be involuntarily brought in, and when some key information blurts out, it will be too late.

"There should be, it is estimated that it was taken away by government forces. ”

Speaking of this, Sherlock was very regretful, and the corners of Donald's mouth turned up when he bowed his head and translated, and he succeeded.

"If we get that thing, can we also control mice? This ability looks a little low-level, and I think it's a little low-level, but it's a special ability, don't you say?"

The deeper meaning of this question is actually to ask about the universality of ability, the way in which one person's ability is acquired, and whether other people can learn from it, or even imitate it completely.

"It's hard to say, it may or may not work. ”

"Luck?"

This is the condition for the acquisition of ability.

"Look at people, rat catchers can, maybe we can't, everyone is unique...... You're not talking to me, are you?"

Halfway through speaking, Sherlock took a sip of milk and asked a little suspiciously.

"Of course not, I'm just curious, aren't I going to the underground black market tonight, I just want to ask if ordinary people can become ...... Outlaw?"

"Theoretically, anyone can become a stranger, but without the help of the church or the government, they must pay a huge price and take huge risks, and if they are not careful, they may die, why, are you interested?"

Looking at Donald with interest, Sherlock inevitably became curious about this temporarily recruited assistant, this person's thinking was a little different from that of most ordinary people.

"This is an identity that is not recognized by the government and the church, and once discovered, you will face regular inquiries and investigations, and sometimes you will face surveillance in your daily life, and even the slightest outrageous behavior will attract arrest, which is something that most people avoid. ”

The reason why heteropaths are called heteropaths is that under the unremitting propaganda of the government and the church, they are labeled as illegal and lawless, and this is the current environment.

Whether you are active or passive, becoming an alien means that your identity will be changed, and some rights that normal people can have will be forcibly deprived.

Of course, it is the power of the Xenomorphs to allow resistance, except that they will soon find themselves facing a well-trained, powerful, and experienced enemy.

The state apparatus plus religious propaganda, you can say that this stabilizes the social situation, but this is obviously for ordinary people, for the majority of xenopaths, it means autocracy!

Whether you want it or not, this is the price of power!

"If I could, I would like to live comfortably. ”

This sentence came out of Donald's mouth, and what he wanted to express was actually that he was a visitor from another world, and now the cult wanted to kill him, and there was a woman with an unknown purpose in the family, and there was a demon in his body.

Strength is the only way for Donald to survive, and he has no second way to go.

"Comfortable living...... That's what you think, it's kind of interesting. ”

In Sherlock's understanding, the meaning of this sentence should be that Donald wants to use his power to obtain a privileged living environment.

Is this idea inferior?

It sounds like the ideological consciousness is indeed not high enough.

But this is actually the idea that all people have, everything that people do in life, eat, sleep......

Even if you are living a difficult and hard life now, isn't it just to make your future self live a comfortable life?

Donald's requirements are actually very low.

Donald's path to getting there was a hard one.
