Chapter 104: Thieves Have Jobs, Too
At the door of the post office, people came and went one after another, there were not many people, and they were basically some trivial things. Anchen leaned against the door, his pitch-black cloak as if it had sucked in all the light, like a shadow. Very few passers-by will notice it, just as few people will notice a dead object. Graves sat hatefully on the table, hunched over, writing birthday cards on the table. To be honest, he's not very good at writing this kind of thing, and he thinks he's better at writing threatening letters than this one.
Well--happy birthday should be written here, right, Graves grimaced and wrote a blessing at the end. So, he turned his head and glanced viciously at An Chen, who seemed to have a smile on his face, why did that thief follow in, bastard. Even if he had already explained it to An Chen, he always felt that An Chen's attitude was still a little subtle.
riοΌ Graves threw the pen on the table and handed the letter and the stuffed doll to the staff with the silver coins: "Thank you very much. Turning his head, ignoring the thief, he strode out of the post office.
"Hey, hey." Anchen chased after him and patted Graves on the shoulder: "Why are you walking so fast?" β
"Tsk." Glancing at the sky with some annoyance, Graves grinded his teeth and asked with a sensy smile, "What else is the matter with you?" β
"Ha, you know, you can't blame me for this, I didn't know it would be like that." An Chen touched the back of his head, and continued with a tone of wanting to laugh but being embarrassed: "But you hold that doll, seriously." β
The corners of Graves' eyes twitched, he took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down, and helplessly skimmed the road on the side: "You can laugh if you want." β
An Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Graves's uncle's face: "Ahem, it's nothing funny." I really didn't think you'd do such a thing, I thought you should be one. An Chen paused, as if thinking about how to describe it.
"What should it be?"
"It should be a cruel, gambling addiction, and a fierce person." Touching his chin, An Chen nodded and said.
"I said." Graves had a black line on his forehead: "Is my first impression really so bad?" β
The two of them walked on the road, passing by a burger stand, and Anchen stopped: "Well, it's a little worse than you imagined." As he spoke, he handed out a few copper coins to the owner of the hamburger stall: "Boss, an original flavor." β
Graves pursed his lips, paused, and handed the boss a few copper coins: "Original, add a little chili powder." Then he looked at An Chen: "Don't talk about me, you don't give the impression that it's not much better, sneaky thief." β
"Ahem." An Chen coughed awkwardly: "Speaking of business, don't you really need my help?" "The burger was ready-made, the owner took the money and handed it over, and it was still steaming.
Graves took the burger, took a bite, and continued: "I've taken care of this well, you don't need to worry, you just need to make sure you can crack that circuit yourself." β
Unpacking the package, Anchen lowered his head and thought for a while: "Two days later, can I come here to get it?" β
"Hmm." Unconcerned, he wiped the salad dressing stuck to his beard with a napkin: "Yes." β
"Okay." Anchen took a bite of the burger and raised his eyebrows: "To be honest, I don't like this kind of fast food very much, it's not nutritious." β
"It tastes pretty good." Graves replied with his opinion and continued to eat to himself.
The scene fell silent, Anchen and Graves leaned against the railing on the side of the road, the traffic around them shuttling rapidly, and passers-by kept coming. The two villains in the eyes of the people are just ordinary members of the crowd at this time. Living in such a world, how many people can say that they are completely simple and kind? Sin is just ordinary, it's just a different approach. However, these two people seem so out of place with all this.
"Now, I said." Anchen suddenly provoked the topic again: "Why do you want to run an orphanage in that kind of place?" β
Graves took the last bite of the burger, glanced at Anchen, and threw the wrapper into the trash can on the side: "Bill Gewert, that's a ****-like place," and as he spoke, Graves turned around and walked away: "But there should also be a place for those little ones to stay." With a wave of his hand, he said goodbye to Anchen.
Anchen stood in place and sideways his neck: "Okay." He dissipated into the street like a fragment.
The owner of the burger restaurant turned around, only to find that the two people standing on the side of the road had already left, looked around, and could no longer see them, and shook his head helplessly: "Hey, young man, you are in such a hurry to do anything." β
The sun was setting in the west, lying on the horizon with a lazy glow, and people dragged their tired bodies towards their homes. Anchen was distressed and touched her pocket, Catherine borrowed her twenty silver coins last time, and it cost her a dozen to rent a house. Sure enough, I feel like I'm going to run out of food in a few days. An Chen looked at the two remaining coins in his palm. Looks like I'm going to have to get some in the evening.
I always feel like I'm going to cause trouble for Catherine again. Well, let's buy dinner and go home first, I don't know how Jinx is resting.
night
Dinner wasn't very rich, but it tasted good.
Jinx sat by the window, looking out the window at Picheng in the night, in a daze. Under the black sky, the city is lit up with dots of lights, and at night it is even brighter than the day.
Anchen stood behind Jinx, wiped his hands with a towel and said, "You should rest, the injury will heal sooner if you rest earlier." β
Squinting her eyes, Jinx pouted Anchen and said, "If you want me to go to sleep like this, it won't be because you want to attack at night, pervert." β
An Chen's face stiffened, and his brows jumped: "I said do you know that you said very bad things, I shouldn't be pitiful to that extent." β
Jinx hooked the corners of her mouth: "You attacked your chest a few days ago, maybe." β
"Smack."
"Ahh
Stretching out his hand and patting Jinx's head, Anchen smiled dangerously: "Give me a sleep." β
Jinx touched her head, and was furious by An Chen's laughter, and her eyes looked to the side: "Cut, okay." With that, he turned and walked back to his room.
Bear child, Anchen looked at Jinx's figure back into the room and shook his head. Putting the towel down, Anchen took off his apron and hung it on the back of the chair. The night outside the window hasn't changed, whew, it's time to work. Thinking about it, pitch-black rune threads emerged and exposed on An Chen's body, entangled, and the original casual clothes quickly turned into a thief's leather armor. The black lines shrank, and the pitch-black cloak slammed open in the room, shadows creeping up the walls.
In an instant, a dark shadow appeared in the room, glanced around the room, turned off the lights, and disappeared into the living room.
