When Qiu Xuan returned to the area of Jima's mansion again, the two guards guarding the door directly reached out to stop her and asked her what she was doing.

She replied in an extremely natural tone: "The adults inside asked me to go out to do some errands, and I just came back." "There's nothing unnatural about jumping out of the window in public.

In fact, before returning to Jima's house, Qiu Xuan also went to find Limbug.

It was late when she came out of the underground black market, and the pedestrians she met on the road were saying that they had seen the lords' carriages coming out of the gate of the Gemma Mansion, and she knew that the day was over.

In view of her previous actions in a hurry, to be on the safe side, she specially asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Limbug, and then found Limbug in a noisy stall in the ground market pouting his ass in a strange posture to watch the excitement.

She stood at the back of the crowd and stared at Limbug for a while, and to his surprise, he didn't have any of his men with him, and there was only one person here. Due to the businessman's short stature, Limbug squeezed into the crowd and tried to tiptoe to see the front row, almost drowning him in the crowd.

Qiu Xuan thought for a while, then squeezed into the crowd and took a few steps forward, lifting him up with one hand.

Suddenly saw Limbug above everyone's heads: "......"

The two maintained this even more bizarre posture and were silent for a while, and Qiu Xuan also took the opportunity to see what the excitement he wanted to come over to see was so much.

It's the kind of busker who is now performing a kind of acrobatic fire-breathing. The performer looked up and took a sip of something, and then spat into the torch in his mouth, and saw a cluster of tongues of fire burst up. She looked bored twice, but the people around her, even the well-informed Lin Buge, looked like they were talking about it.

Even before she was discovered, she saw with her own eyes that Limbegg wanted to sneak up on the clay pots used in other people's performances.

“…… Let's go out and talk. ”

Being held in such a posture, Lin Buge originally thought that he would barely hold on for a while to watch the performance, but after a while, he couldn't hold his face and said. "Let's go, go to my shop, it's quieter there."

So Qiu Xuan didn't say anything and put him down, watching the moment the short businessman's toes touched the ground, he was drowned in the crowd again.

"It's really strange, in your identity, you can't see what kind of 'performance' you usually can't see, and you will crowd to watch a street circus like this."

Limbug raised his hand to straighten out his somewhat wrinkled collar, "The circus is to watch the streets...... You don't understand. ”

"Okay."

It didn't take long for Lin Buge to take care of everything and look back at her again, Qiu Xuan saw that the merchant on the ground had once again regained the familiar look he remembered.

"If you don't say it, I can probably guess why you came to me." He said, "I didn't come to ask you if there was anything important to do before, but you openly slapped the face of Lord Beelzebub in front of the lords, and on that basis, the forces on the earth of Drow will blacklist you even on the surface." ”

"There is a man who does not have to do such superficial work to draw a line between himself and Beelzebub."

Qiu Xuan stopped and stared straight at Lin Buge. "Jimma. Whether he says it or not, it's the same, so there's no need to do such superficial work. ”

"Do you think you've seen it through, young man?"

As she expected, Limbug didn't show much surprise at this statement or question how she dared to say such about the "honorable" bigwigs. The merchant, who had already become a human essence, glanced up at her lightly and said, "To give you a little advice, it is a little experience I have in business for so many years." ”

"When you think you can see through others, others can see through you too."

Qiu Xuan looked down at the eyes that were not on the same level, and she blinked her eyelashes slightly, which was considered to be accepted by this "advice".

In some cases, it is necessary to listen to this kind of "elders" who have turned their ages more than twice to show off with a little high experience.

For example, you may sometimes feel that your elders are too trivial in some things, but you have to admit that some of the so-called "experience of the older generation" are things that cannot be learned on the blackboard in the classroom outside.

Different ways of thinking have different perspectives on the world.

They have their generation's way of survival, and this is a combination of the experience of those deceased ancestors who may have flowed through ten years, hundreds of years, and thousands of years. These intangible "knowledge" have been fermented and accumulated by generations of people, and only then have they gradually evolved into the "truth" that can be said in just one sentence.

"Do you already know about Jairo?" Qiu Xuan said, "You asked me if I would kill people before, just so that I, or let me go, kill those killers you bought. ”

"Actually, young people." Lin Buge took a few steps back to his shop—his shop was more than a little more advanced than the other ordinary merchants on the ground, and at least had a decent rental space—and sat down in one of the rocking chairs, looking up at Qiu Xuan. "Even if I didn't say it, you would have helped the young man, because you are 'one kind,' aren't you?"

Qiu Xuan didn't show it on her face, but said, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

It wasn't uncommon for Limbug to guess that the executioners were different, after all, his identity was here.

He is the most important link in the chain of commercial transactions on the ground of Drow, and he sees more people every day than some people have seen in half a lifetime combined. Most executioners who can enter Drow need a job in exchange for food, and if Limbug recognizes a group of people who mysteriously disappear for a period of time every month and then return to Drow, then he can't possibly know the identity of the "executioners", and more or less can guess that there are a group of people who don't fit in their world.

But now looking at Lin Buge's appearance, he is just mentioning it, and he doesn't plan to dig deeper, so Qiu Xuan pretends not to know.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand your motives." She said, "I've been looking at it in the past few days, and the price of creating a black-robed killer is very high, and the price of buying a black-robed killer is a huge amount of money...... Now that you know I'm going to help Jairo, why waste two killers in vain? ”

"The price of a killer is dead, it's fixed. But man is alive and invaluable, isn't he? The diminutive merchant looked up at her with a slight smile, "I used the money I paid for two killers so that I could know where the boundaries of your abilities are with that young man." It was worth it to me to exchange measurable money for information that could not be valued. ”

"Besides, as you said before, no matter what you think in your heart, I will always show my 'loyalty' to all of you."

Limbegg waved his hand very casually, and said the word "loyalty" without any special expression on his face. "Jairo offended Jimma at the banquet, and Jairo is the person I recommended to go out, so of course I have to draw a line with him...... So you're the same. ”

Qiu Xuan's face was solemn, and in the next second, her body tensed her calves and jumped away from the ground.

Where she had just stood, a man in a black robe stood silently. After the black robe, the shadow of a robe appeared.

"Young man, I know that most of you people's abilities are concentrated in one or two black-robed killers, so now I am equivalent to giving you a chance." Lin Buge sat very leisurely in his rocking chair and drank sobering tea, "Of course I can't continue to be your guarantor, not only can't, but I also have to show that I have to draw a line with you." ”

"I bought you two killers too, no more, no less, very fair."

He smiled suddenly, "Then it's up to you whether you live or die next." By the way, if you can really survive, it doesn't hurt to show you the way...... At today's banquet, Lord Beelzebub showed a lot of interest in you, and if you really want to stay and work at the Gemma family in the future, maybe this can be an opportunity for you. ”

After saying this, Limbug stopped looking at her, and his eyes completely fell on the accounts in his hand. "I have done my best, and I wish you good luck."

In front of him, two black-robed killers who had received orders stuck to him like ghosts. Qiu Xuan turned on his toes and rushed towards the other end of the official road to leave the sight of the crowd, and after completely deviating from the main road, he looked at the two black-robed killers who could already foresee the end and sighed.

Lin Buge did not know that this kind of "killer" made of corpses could be a disaster for others, but it was no longer a threat to Qiu Xuan.

A moment later, there were two more black robes spread on the ground and a large swarm of flies on the dirt floor on the outskirts, and after a while, there was nothing to be seen in the air.

……

Qiu Xuan re-entered the Jima Mansion as usual, and except for a few attendants who had seen her sudden behavior at the afternoon party, there was a little noise in surprise, and the rest of the place was no different from before.

And it was on this day that she learned about Penny, the chief maid who was with Gemma, and the force behind her was Beelzebub.

She was the "eye" sent by Beelzebub to spy on Jimma closely, and it was impossible for Jimma herself not to know this, but he had no choice but to pretend not to know and pretend to be crazy and stupid under Penny's sight every day.

When Qiu Xuan went back, the chief maid came to her in person, and there was no meaning in her words. Qiu Xuan also cooperated with everything and said that it was okay, anyway, she is now allied with others everywhere, and any force on the ground and underground can intervene horizontally, as if the image of the bat who is both a bird and a beast in the fable is brought into full play.

As a result, when she finished talking to Penny and returned to the residence provided for the circus members, the redhead asked her with a serious face if she wanted to complete the last part of the human bone deal with her tomorrow, and she blurted out, "Okay, good." ”

The redhead who had prepared a bunch of persuasive words suddenly became useless, and looked at her suspiciously a few times before saying, "Okay." Tomorrow at 12 o'clock at noon, remember. ”

The next day, when the other circus members woke up and saw that Qiu Xuan was back, they peeked at it several times with a ghostly expression. After a while, they calmed down, after all, it didn't matter to them whether Qiu Xuan was completely blacklisted or didn't know how to mix in again.

Ordinary people worry every day about whether they will be able to open their eyes again instead of dying at night, and they have to use all their strength.

The redhead said that the last part of today's transaction was the last time she had with Alex, and she paid for the price gap herself, and then paid for an identical skeleton umbrella.

Qiu Xuan didn't know what way the red hair had to support her to complete the deal in just a few days, anyway, by the time she followed the red hair out, an umbrella that looked almost different was already in her hand.

This time, the place she agreed with Alec Hill was also the same old place.

Out of curiosity, Qiu Xuan still glanced inside when passing by the black arena on the basement floor, and found that not only was there no one in the audience at this time, but even the ring and preparation area were empty, and the entire arena looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"They usually don't open until late in the evening, and it's busiest at midnight."

The redhead knew what she was thinking at a glance, explained like this, and then suddenly thought of something. "By the way, I think you're pretty good at fighting, if you really lack money in the future, you can come here to make extra money."

"Anyone can sign up, there is no limit, it is about three dollars to win a game, and if you fight against a high-level opponent, you can add money. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that every game here is a life and death field, and only one of the two people in the ring can survive the game, so it is best to be very sure before the game. ”

Three coins of silver.

Qiu Xuan did the math and felt that it was not very worthwhile. As I said before, in addition to being careful not to starve to death in this world, another thing is not to let yourself get hurt. There is a shortage of food and medicine, especially in this kind of life-fighting arena, once you lose an arm and a broken leg, you will not be able to grow back in two months.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered." She paused and looked back at the redhead, "Do you remember the chainsaw man we saw earlier, didn't he have both legs cut off in the ring, but I saw him look intact again two days ago." ”

"That guy," the redhead frowned with a look of disgust. "I asked someone to inquire after the last time I saw it, and since he came to this trial ground, there are hundreds of people who have eaten."
