5. Decay
Indeed, with Bermuda's ability, it would be better to investigate suspicious persons here. There is no need to use very obvious and eye-catching methods to control others, nor does it need to swagger through the market, like an ancient catch and interrogate people one by one. Bermuda only needs to hide in the shadows and use her "eyes" a little to control everything here silently. But......
How could you please her! And it was himself who wanted to drive her away at the beginning, not to mention that the commission would definitely not allow him to have too much communication with an "outsider", and if he found her now, wouldn't it seem very naΓ―ve? This kind of backtracking is like a child's anger, and if you really put it into action, I'm afraid you will be used as a laughing stock for the rest of your life.
While admonishing herself to be calm and not to do anything stupid, Aoi Lei began to look around in this noisy area where she "couldn't calm down at all". The black market disguised in the ordinary bazaar is mixed with the high-pitched voices of the housewives everywhere, although the number of these housewives army is really a bit terrifying, but the merchants of the black market generally do not feel that they are not wrong about this, after all, they have already "experienced a hundred battles" and have already had a way to deal with it. Or should it be called: to "disperse" the carefully selected housewives invisibly, and in this way to show the monsters who shop here that "they are black market merchants".
The vast majority of black marketeers use some very common fruits and vegetables as "window dressing", and Yui whitewashes their unspoken and blatant deeds. Often, their ordinary goods are expensive and of poor quality, which is impossible for sharp-eyed housewives to be included in the scope of "rush buying". With the decrease in popularity. Naturally, there will be no more ordinary people. Therefore, this empty storefront has become the best publicity for black market merchants to their "black shop".
Of course, there will occasionally be ordinary people who "don't know the goods" who run over recklessly, maybe that time was also one of the few "integrity" moments in the lives of these black businessmen.
Since you don't plan to ask Bermud, it will be even more difficult to find the guy who wants to wash the goods, but the helpless thing is that at present, you can only use the most stupid method to look at the black market merchants who came here today, one after another. It's all gambling, and it looks like the odds of winning are pretty small.
"Ah, I'm sorry."
There was a feeling of blockage in the suitcase, and Kwai Lei, who came back to her senses, immediately apologized to the little girl who seemed to have been rubbed by the suitcase.
"Does it hurt?"
Quite a small child. He doesn't smell like a monster, and he looks like an ordinary human. But judging from her dazed appearance and the fact that there are no adults around her, it seems that she ......
Lost?
ββ¦β¦β
There was no response, the little girl just watched herself with her big cute eyes. Could it be that I was instructed by my family to say something: don't reply when you meet a stranger, otherwise you will be abducted, is this the case? But this little girl is really calm enough, obviously the adults around her are gone, and she can still behave so calmly......
"How can old decay get lost?"
Demonic! The demonic aura that could never be ignored began to be revealed, although the tone sounded a little unconfident, but just this little girl who was silent just now. In an instant, it became strange. It's like...... Schizophrenia, but I'm afraid it's not that simple.
There are definitely a lot of "neuroses" in the monsters. But this kind of guy who can change from an absolute ordinary person to a complete monster, and even his personality has mutated mutations...... Is it really possible?
ββ¦β¦ Who are you? β
Although he regretted asking a question that seemed to be asked by an ombudsman, this was also what Aoi Lei said. Needless to say, the ordinary people around, but fortunately, the monster merchants don't seem to be aware of the changes that have taken place here.
After thinking for a moment, Aoi Lei took the little girl's hand, although it was only an expedient measure, but at least it would seem more natural. And the little girl who suddenly became a "monster" didn't seem to resist, maybe because of the same purpose, so she immediately chose to cooperate.
So, sometimes holding hands is not because we like each other! At least this little girl became dangerous after "mutating".
"Lao Yu is an ordinary person, ten years old this year."
Invisible wars and games are going on.,The girl who has become a monster is doing a very clumsy lie that even most of herself doesn't believe.,And Aoi Lei didn't continue to ask.γ
Whether it is a human or a demon, there must be some privacy that is unwilling to be revealed, and respecting and ignoring these unnatural privacy is also the way for monsters to communicate and live with each other. If it is just a question that the other party does not want to answer, then the final result will inevitably not satisfy anyone. Yokai are more prone to conflict than humans, so it's important to respect privacy.
"Chance encounter is fate, can you help the old man be a guide?"
The little girl holding the palm of Aoi Lei's hand said "rotten" words that did not match her appearance, and at the same time handed Kwai Lei a smile that also did not match her appearance, "Old Man wants to buy some souvenirs, but unfortunately he is not very familiar with this place. β
Then how did you get into the black market and not be investigated!?
The idiot's words were suppressed by Kwai Lei at the last moment, judging from what the little girl did just now, it was obvious that she was wandering around as an ordinary person to avoid interrogation.
"Of course, the old man will not treat you badly, as long as the old man is satisfied, it is not impossible to give you some things."
As a guide, the reward is probably a little baby given by the little girl. Although he said that he was carrying out the commission now, there was no conflict between the two, and the chance of being suspected would be greatly reduced if he acted together.
"I'm fine, but you...... What do you call it? β
"Empty bird, woo......" The little girl shrank her head as if she had been punched in the head, but quickly raised it again, "That's it, the old man has just arrived here, so he wants to buy some souvenirs." β
Souvenir......
Kwai Lei deliberately ignored the strange behavior of the empty bird just now, in fact, it is not her style to care too much about other people's situations.
"So, what kind of souvenir do you want, if it's just a medal or something, then I still can't accompany it."
"How could it be, the old man is not so naΓ―ve as to run out to ask for this and that without asking for anything."
The empty bird waved his hand very oldly, "The old retainers brought a little news to the old man, I heard that there will be a lot of barely eye-catching gadgets sold at one time recently, and it seems that the location is here." β
A one-time sale? Wait, if the timing is right, wouldn't that be ......
"Can you take me to see it, then?" The empty bird patted Aoi Lei's suitcase. Obviously, this is a threat she is making in a unique way, and it has to be said, it has succeeded.
This guy is definitely not an ordinary "monster", and it seems that he will have to investigate carefully later.
"I see."
After silently pulling the suitcase a lot closer, Kwai Lei naturally blocked the empty bird's gaze looking there, "Just think of it as a pastime, just accompany you." (To be continued......)
