Chapter 20 Engraving
"So what should I do? Just because of the dead pervert who harms people? Chen Duo was indignant.
At this time, she really hoped that she would encounter an adventure or something when she was a child, be accepted as a disciple by some master, and then learn a skill.
I heard the guy say, "So you can't count on the ninth section, you have to rely on the two of us." ”
"Shall we?" Chen Duo was surprised.
She knows her own affairs, and she thinks she has no ability, just an additive. As for this thing, that is, a half-mage, what can the two of them do that the ninth department can't do?
"yes, didn't you just want to catch that guy right away?" Xu said.
"Yes...... Ah, but it's just the two of us...... At this level, can it work? Chen Duo had no confidence.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." The confident look of the thing.
But Chen Duo was really not at ease: "Are you serious? ”
"Of course."
Chen Duo was speechless.
At this time, the meal had already come up, and the two of them moved their chopsticks to eat. After eating, I came out of the store.
"How do you get it?" Chen Duo asked. There are only two of them, how to catch that devil, just trying to find him is looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Since we can't find him, we have to let him come to us." Xu Lai said as he walked.
"Let him come to us?" Chen Duo frowned and thought hard, how to find this? After thinking about it for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned, "You don't want me to be a bait, do you?" ”
Xu Lai looked back at her, looked up and down, and nodded: "Don't say it, landlord, you are really suitable as bait, your face and figure are passable, and you meet the basic conditions of that person." ”
"It's okay to get by!" Chen Duo gritted her teeth, but he could think of such a bad idea as a bait, she would definitely not do it!
"Fortunately, there are three beautiful models living in room 2104, otherwise it would be the landlord who suffers." Xu Lai said again.
Chen Duo was shocked when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time: "Are you serious? ”
"The building in our Zijinyuan should be one of the main formations in that formation, so someone in this building must be his sacrifice. However, this array is special and needs to be composed of three pictures, which means that he must kill three people here. Xu Lai explained.
According to the man's choice, all three of them must be young, beautiful, and beautiful women with good figures and temperament, and with your landlord's conditions, they must be within the scope of his goals. It's just that you often don't live at home, and there happen to be three eligible beauties living in room 04, so that person saves trouble and chooses that one directly. ”
Chen Duo could hear a cold sweat, if it was really like what this thing said, she really passed by death.
"But don't worry, I won't come to you now, the sacrifice of the Purple Golden Garden's array is enough, so even if you want to be a bait, it's useless." I only heard Xu Lai say again.
Chen Duo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, she was still a little trembling and her legs were weak.
"But over there in Tianxiang Garden, that person should still go." Xu said.
Chen Duo was taken aback: "Go to Kang Lu?" ”
Xu said: "I don't know. According to common sense, as long as it is a qualified beauty, it does not necessarily have to be Kanglu. But it also depends on the person's mentality, if he has to find Kanglu, then it may not be possible. ”
"Damn, dead pervert!" Chen Duo scolded.
"Don't worry too much, what happened last time, Kang Wenlong must have sent a lot of people to protect her daughter, and maybe they are no longer in Tianxiang Garden." Xu said.
Chen Duo said angrily: "I have nothing to worry about!" After thinking about it, he came back to his senses, "You don't want to go to Tianxiang Garden to squat, do you?" What if he wants to go somewhere else first? ”
"There's someone squatting over there, so there's no need for us." Just listen to him.
"Who?" Chen Duo was curious.
"Ninth Branch."
"You know all this?" Chen Duo was surprised.
"Guess."
Chen Duo was speechless: "Then what do we do?" ”
Xu Lai smiled: "Go home first and prepare something." ”
Chen Duo was confused, so he could only go back with him first.
The two took the elevator to the 21st floor, and Xu said, "I'll go sleep for two hours and get up again." ”
"Didn't you wake up early today? Why don't you sleep more? Chen Duo said that last night they stayed up until more than five o'clock in the morning, and this person went out early this morning, and he has been busy until now, I am afraid that he has not slept much time at all.
"Two hours is enough." Xu Lai waved his hand at her indiscriminately, as if he said goodbye, opened the door and entered the room, kicked his shoes, and threw himself on the sofa.
Waited until the mobile phone alarm clock rang, then got up, went to wash up, turned back to the kitchen for a while, found a few large plates out and put them on the dining table, and then went to carry the acacia seeds I bought last time, poured them on the plate, and filled a total of three plates.
Then he went to the bedroom and took out his backpack, took a carving knife from it, and dragged a chair to the table and sat down.
He picked an acacia seed from the plate, held a bean in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand, and carved a rune with a rather complex structure on it.
This acacia is smaller than a fingernail, and the shape is round, but Xu Lai's speed of the knife is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, a rune has been engraved.
Put the carved acacia seeds into an empty plate, and take another one and carve it again.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard the phone ring, it was Chen Duo's WeChat: "Did you get up?" ”
Xu Lai smiled, this girl usually looks very grinning, but in fact, her heart is still quite fine, and she was afraid that knocking on the door would wake him up, so she sent a WeChat message to ask first.
He replied, "Get up." ”
After a while, I heard a knock on the door.
Xu came and opened the door, and saw Chen Duo wearing pale pink casual clothes, a cartoon bear on his chest, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a little wet, with a faint fragrance, obviously just taken a bath.
I had two packages in my hand, and several more at my feet.
"Everything you bought has arrived, and I will receive it for you." Chen Duo said, moving things inside, and Xu Lai also went over to help.
When I opened the package, it was some bed sheets and some daily necessities.
"Where's this?" Chen Duo asked, holding the sheets and quilts.
"Let's lose the bedroom first." Xu Lai threw the parcel box and other miscellaneous items downstairs and came back to say.
"Will you make a bed? Do you want me to help you? Chen Duo shouted inside.
"No, I'll do it myself." Xu said.
"Yo, I can't see it, then I don't care." Chen Duo clapped his hands and came out of the room, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and when he came out, he saw several plates of acacia on the dining table, so he leaned over.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Duo was curious, picked up a grain of acacia on the plate and looked at it, "Hey, there are words engraved on it!" ”
"What word?" Xu Lai asked with a smile.
"I don't know what the words are, I can't see the handwriting of your dog." Chen Duo watched it for a long time, but didn't recognize what it was.
"It's a rune." Xu Lai came back and sat down, took the carving knife and continued to carve the symbols.
"Runes?" Chen Duo suddenly became interested, and was about to ask a few words, when he saw Xu Lai dropping a knife on a small acacia seed, and he had already carved one in a moment, and couldn't help but be shocked, "I'll go, you still have this unique skill?" ”
"It's basic." Xu said.
"You mages still need to learn this skill?" Chen Duo wondered.
Xu Lai smiled and continued to concentrate on carving the talisman.
"What's the use of you getting this?" Chen Duo asked.
Xu Lai carved a piece of acacia and threw it on the plate, saying, "Aren't you going to catch that murderer?" ”
"You can catch that dead pervert with this?" Chen Duo was surprised.
"This is one of them." Xu said.
Chen Duo couldn't help but take another acacia seed engraved with runes, held it in the palm of his hand and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully: "Why do you use acacia seeds to engrave it?" ”
I just heard him say: "It is not necessary to use acacia seeds, there are other materials that can be replaced, this kind of effect is relatively poor." ”
"Then why did you choose it?" Chen Duo was curious.
"Because it's cheap, the others can't afford it." Xu said.
Chen Duo sweated.
Time passed minute by minute, and there were more and more acacia seeds engraved with talismans on the plate.
Xu Lai continued to carve talismans, and his subordinates did not slow down at all.
Chen Duo held his chin and looked at it for a while, yawned and said, "How much does this have to be carved?" ”
"Eight hundred, at least more than a thousand if you take into account the loss." Xu said.
"Huh? You're not going to finish it tonight, are you? Chen Duo was shocked.
"yes, I'll have to use it tomorrow." Xu said.
"You're going to stay up all night tonight?" Chen Duo said.
I heard him say, "Let's stay up a little longer, landlord, you go to sleep first." ”
Chen Duo looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock, yawned and said, "Seeing that you are very boring, I will accompany you again." ”
Xu Lai didn't raise his head and said, "Don't you dare to go back to sleep alone?" ”
"Less!" Chen Duo was angry. However, since she heard Xu say that Zijinyuan was an eye of the murderer, she was indeed a little afraid to sleep in that room alone.
Xu Lai smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on carving the talisman. The knife flew like a fly, and a rune took shape in a moment.
I don't know how long it took, but after finally carving a plate, Xu Lai stretched his waist and was about to get up to drink saliva, when he saw Chen Duo leaning back on the chair, his head tilted to the side, and he was already asleep.
"That's why you said you want to stay up all night with me." Xu Lai went to find a coat and threw it on her.
I went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water to drink, and came back to continue carving.
The night outside the house is like water, and the inside of the house is silent. Before you know it, the east begins to turn white, and the night begins to recede like a tide.
When a ray of sunlight shone into the living room through the gap in the curtains, Chen Duo woke up from his sleep, only to feel warm and indescribably comfortable and lazy.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had slept like this, and she had yin and yang eyes since she was a child, which not only allowed her to see some strange dirty things from time to time, but also made her sleep very bad.
Every night, as soon as she fell asleep, her ears would echo with all kinds of terrible or strange screams, no matter how hot the summer day or how thick the quilt was, her body was always cold, as if she was entangled in a clammy poisonous snake, and nightmares continued one after another.
So her sleep has always been very poor, and she will be awakened at every turn at night.
But what's going on today?
She actually slept peacefully until dawn, and her body was dry and warm, and that warm feeling made her reluctant to even open her eyes, thinking about sleeping for a while.
A slight rustling sound was heard in my ears, the voice was extremely thin, with an indescribable sense of rhythm.
Chen Duo was taken aback, and hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw Xu Lai holding a carving knife in one hand and a acacia seed in the other, concentrating on carving talismans. Only then did she suddenly remember that she had fallen asleep in a chair last night, and she had a coat on her body.
