Volume 1 Origin Story Chapter 7. thief

On a new day, after the boss considered it, she decided to divide the waiter's work into two parts, and the work of collecting money was handed over to Han Moxi

Although it is still in a hurry, even Han Moxi will not make a big mess of this kind of work, after all, there is no one who eats the overlord's meal, Han Moxi has finally completed this half day's work

After a short rest after noon, the boss even gave Han Moxi his old wallet with relief, although it was useless for Han Moxi, who didn't have a penny

But in fact, Han Moxi seriously suspected that this was just yesterday after the boss went out shopping (this is the reason why the boss was not there yesterday) and bought a new wallet, he casually threw this tattered, scratched and faded wallet, and even stuck with adhesive tape in many places

For this, Han Moxi expressed his gratitude...... It's weird, hey

However, her own clothes pocket is large, and this wallet is still a small style, so she has to pack the money in her pocket

Then, her afternoon's work was almost about to begin

Around six o'clock, it is the time when there are many people...... For the area of a fly restaurant, it is considered a lot of people, but for Han Moxi, he can barely notice how much all the people in the restaurant have eaten

At this time, she noticed that a lady at a table near the door had gotten up and was ready to leave without paying, so she hurriedly ran over

"Uh...... You're not, haven't paid yet"

"Paid"

The blonde lady stroked her hair casually, replied in a hurry as if there was something urgent, and then planned to leave

"That's not right! I didn't take any money from you! ”

After thinking about it carefully, Han Moxi was sure that she hadn't received money from a blonde woman all day just now, no, she still remembered this conspicuous hair color very clearly

“…… You're misremembering."

The blonde lady ran out of the store in a panic, but the scarf around her neck was grabbed by Han Moxi before she could take the second step

"Nope! If you don't believe me, do you need to look at the monitoring? ”

“…… Yes, I didn't."

The blonde lady hesitated, but in the end, perhaps considering that she was now caught and could not leave, she told the truth

But in fact, there is no monitoring in the store at all, how can there be spare money to buy monitoring in this kind of fly restaurant

…… In fact, Han Moxi didn't expect to be able to bluff people, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of honest people in this world

"Then you didn't pay, you should pay quickly"

Han Moxi tugged at the scarf in an attempt to urge the blonde lady

"Didn't bring"

…… How did this man say such things in a tone of righteousness?

Han Moxi expressed puzzlement about this question

"No, I didn't bring it, I'll ask the boss what to do...... Uh, you don't eat much, you shouldn't call the police, you should."

Hearing this answer, Han Moxi hesitated

"Wait"

Taking advantage of Han Moxi's hesitation, the blonde lady turned around and snatched the part of the scarf that Han Moxi was holding tightly

"Hey, you're ......"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ran, and I'm a soothsayer."

…… Why did this person introduce himself as soon as he suddenly came up?

Han Moxi continued to express his puzzlement

"Then next, I will do a divination for you, and the cost of the divination will be used to exempt the meal money, I usually ask for a few hundred for a divination, you shouldn't accept such a profitable deal."

Lamp suddenly said this in a completely different and interested tone than before

"It's not a question I can't accept...... That, let's ask the boss about your divination first......"

"Come, look here"

"Ah, yes"

Flash took out a crystal ball from his black satchel...... Wait, can you really put this fragile item in your bag with confidence?

Before Han Moxi could complain, she was used to looking at the crystal ball reflexively

"Well, it's a faint candle flame, it seems that I've wasted my time here, maybe you will die on the street in less than a week, okay, I'm done divination, goodbye, go"

Lamp returned to his previous tone of voice, which was not emotionally fluctuating, and then turned and left

"What are you going to do! I'm still going to ask the boss about this thing, and will anyone let you go if you get this kind of result? ”

Han Moxi, who tried to grab the scarf again, failed this time, and he pulled the scarf in front of him, and in the end, Han Moxi just twisted the surface of the down jacket and slipped it off with a slight pull

"Hey, waiter, check out here"

The voices of other customers came from behind him, and as a last resort, Han Moxi could only rush over, and then clean up this side and look at the door, the figure of that person had completely disappeared

Well, that's a matter of course

At night, Han Moxi, who had finished her day's work, was walking in a place she hadn't been to before

Despite doubting that she would be able to find her way back, she was persuaded by Onyx to come

The main reason for coming here is that Onyx proposes that if you stay and wait for someone all the time, it will definitely not be as efficient as going out and shopping casually...... Although it is not much higher, it is indeed impossible to meet a specific few people in a city of hundreds of thousands of people, and the answer given by onyx to how Han Moxi wants to go back is that he may be able to go back directly

Maybe this word has bothered Han Moxi for a long time, but onyx said that if there are monsters nearby, it should be able to sense it, and the same is true for monsters that have signed a contract, so if it goes out, its exploration area will be larger, and Han Moxi decided

After that, Han Moxi asked ONYX if the woman in black knew if she had signed a contract with the monster because of this detection ability, but Onyx replied that this basic detection ability could only detect whether there were traces of high-intensity energy use nearby, and even the location of the traces could not be determined, and the location of the monster and the person who signed the contract needed more advanced detection ability to accurately discover

Although the woman in black seems to live there, it seems that after entering her territory, she suddenly found out that Han Moxi was the contract holder, and then cut it over, but Onyx claimed that she had no ability to use it after signing a new contract, and since the woman in black lived there, the way to escape was to jump off the building, and there were still many doubts

Although he still didn't quite understand, Han Moxi still accepted Onyx's statement and suggestion

Then, as she walked, she suddenly felt very light

On another touch, the wallet was gone

Absolutely, today I not only met the overlord meal, but also met the thief, although it is empty, but it can't be lost in vain

Han Moxi sighed, thought so, and began to look around

It was a desolate place, probably on the edge of the city, and there was not a single figure to be found at first glance, but if you looked closely, there seemed to be a woman running in a red scarf and short black hair in the shade of the trees in the foreground

In the middle of the night, there was nothing to practice running, Han Moxi felt strange and hurriedly caught up

Unexpectedly, that person didn't run fast, and it didn't take long for Han Moxi to catch up with her

Hearing footsteps behind him, the man in the red scarf glanced behind him, then quickened his pace

But it doesn't help

With the scarf flying during running, Han Moxi pulled the scarf again, and then took advantage of the momentary pause of the person in front of her, she hit the person's back hard with her elbow

So you people, why do you all wear scarves one by one, forget about the person in the afternoon, the thief wearing a scarf and wearing such a bright color is too unprofessional, Han Moxi complained in his heart

The person in front of him fell to the ground unexpectedly, and naturally struggled to stand up, but Han Moxi naturally wouldn't allow it, and pressed her neck with his other hand, pressing her to the ground

By the way, the road is a gravel road

"You...... Do? ”

Han Moxi heard the person who was pressed on the ground say this sentence indistinctly

"I want to ask you what this thief wants to do!"

“…… I wasn't the one who stole your wallet."

"If you weren't a thief, I wouldn't have said how you knew I dropped my wallet"

“……”

"Hmph, don't say anything, hurry up and return the wallet to me!"

Seeing that the people on the ground were just struggling and didn't make any more noise, Han Moxi simply put her knees directly on her back and pressed down stiffly, originally trying to keep most of her body in a posture where she didn't touch the ground, but she was also forced to press her whole body together with the stones

"What are those two over there...... Ah, it's you."

Han Moxi was still thinking about how to make the other party obediently return the stolen goods without beating the other party to death, but he heard the voice of the king snake from above...... To be reasonable, she really didn't want to hear it

When he looked up, he saw the king snake pointing a gun at Han Moxi's head, and when he heard what he said just now, the king snake obviously recognized Han Moxi, but the gun hanging on his head still made Han Moxi feel that he was in an atmosphere where he could die violently at any time

Anyway, what the hell is this guy doing, wearing a police uniform and holding a gun in this kind of place, is it a chengguan? Or a patrolman? But can the patrol officer carry a gun? Or is this kind of job arrangement different from the real world, although the world is very similar to the real world?

Han Moxi was slightly puzzled

"This guy stole from me! Her purse was taken by her! …… Uh, is it justified self-defense?"

"I think even if this guy steals a million from you, you're overly defensive."

"Don't you, isn't this man dead...... Huh? …… Wait a minute, that guy ran away! ”

When Han Moxi was distracted again, the people below erupted with unexpected power and shook Han Moxi away

Why do you do this for both of you...... Isn't it good to be honest, although in this case it seems that if you don't run, you are not an honest person but a fool

Originally, Han Moxi, who still had the energy to be distracted to think about this, found that this time the person ran unexpectedly fast

…… No, it's not unexpectedly fast, it's faster than human common sense

Originally, a person who was not fast at the beginning was pierced by a stone for most of the day, Han Moxi thought that he could catch up, but this time that person was moving at a high speed that Han Moxi couldn't imagine, and only an afterimage could be seen

Although Han Moxi's myopia is not very certain...... But that person seems to be holding a card? The direction in which she was running was facing a very open place, surrounded by vegetable fields, and a car parked next to it that could be seen to have been abandoned for a long time

Is it to flee by car? But the car doesn't look like it's going to work anymore

Han Moxi was puzzled, and then to her surprise...... Although she seemed to have been surprised many times, this time it was really a little scary, the car door did not open, but the thief mysteriously disappeared in front of the car

"Wait! Could it be that she is ......?"

"Don't worry, she's the contract holder, your monster should know what to do, hurry up and catch up, well, there's no monitoring here anyway, and that person is the contract holder, I'm too lazy to bother, just act as if what happened just now didn't happen"

The king snake waved her hand to signal Han Moxi to come over, and then she left in the other direction

“…… Catch up? ”

Han Moxi, who didn't know where the other party had gone, didn't know how to catch up, anyway, she trotted in front of this car, and she couldn't recognize what brand this car was, but it didn't matter anyway

"Covenant holders? The monster of the contract is in the mirror, so is she disappearing like this?"

Han Moxi carefully stretched her right hand to the window, but there was no hard touch, her hand went directly through the window glass

In the faint starlight, the transparent glass could barely be seen as if the originally calm sea had been smashed into a stone, rippling layers of ripples

"What should I say......

Sighing, this time Han Moxi didn't touch it carefully, and simply turned his entire body into the glass
