Chapter 25: Applicants

"Ouch......"

When Ellis carried the list of mutants given to him by Professor X, with a Colt revolver pinned to his waist, wearing a long coat, and with a majestic and high-spirited outlook, he pushed open the door of Jiang's pawn shop and prepared to go to find the gold lord Anthony.

There was an exclamation from the door, and then a figure who was only shoulder-high fell directly on him from outside the door, and under the effect of inertia, he fell backwards with him unprepared.

"My poor old waist!" The air was silent for only two seconds, and Ellis, who was covered by a cloud of long blond hair, let out a terrible cry of pain.

Sadly, this mouth sucked in a few more long hairs on the side of his mouth, causing him to quickly 'puff' several times before spitting out all the hair in his mouth.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Ellis's screams woke up the girl who had fallen on top of him, and she scrambled to get up from him, apologizing incessantly.

Speaking of which, Ellis was also unlucky enough, because he took it lightly, not only did he not show the strength of E-level physical fitness when the girl fell, and avoided this tragic traffic accident, but when he was tripped by the other party, his back just pressed on Colt's left wheel.

If you think that this revolver is a superweapon with a quality of up to C-class produced by the system, you know that its hardness is very unusual......

What's even more tragic is that his first glorious 'injury' in the Marvel world turned out to be caused by a helpless girl......

The girl who tripped Ellis didn't look big, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, although she was a little shorter than Ellis, but her height of 1.7 meters was tall among girls of the same age.

She was dressed somewhat like Ellis, wearing a long light green coat and a pair of black leather gloves on her hands.

After getting up from Ellis, he combed his long hair and looked anxiously at the unlucky guy who was still lying on the floor humming: "Are you okay, are you hurt?" ”

"I said, can you just ask and reach out and pull me?"

Ellis reached to the back of his waist, deliberately avoiding the girl's gaze, carefully moved the Colt revolver out, and stuffed it into the front pocket of his coat, before he was anxious to stand aside, but the girl who didn't help him complained powerlessly.

"Oh, oh!" After listening to Ellis's words, the girl carefully examined the gloves on both hands before reaching out and pulling him up from the floor.

"Help me to the couch over there." Ellis gestured to the sofa in the lounge area toward the girl.

"Okay, okay." After the two collided, the girl may have been a little confused, so she didn't think much about it after hearing Ellis's command, and honestly helped him over.

…………

"This little girl can't have autism!"

After coming to the rest area and sitting down, the two faced each other in silence for a while, Ellis saw that the girl didn't mean to speak at all, as the owner of the pawn shop and the owner of the house, he had to take the initiative to ask:

"I'm the owner of Jiang's pawnshop, Ellis Jiang, how can I help you?"

"I saw a copy of Jiang's hanging outside the door...... Pawnshop job posting, have you hired anyone? The girl, who had been silent, glanced up at Ellis, and instead of answering his question directly, she asked him in a whisper.

It's this sentence again, can't these guys simply and neatly say the true purpose of coming to the pawnshop by themselves?

He had to wait in line to uncover Ellis's scars, knowing that the recruitment sign had been hanging in front of the pawn shop for six or seven days, and until now, he had not seen a single real applicant.

It's all the guys who use job postings, turn on topic mode, and end up running for special pawns......

Because he didn't recruit people to look at the store, Ellis relied on the absolute realm a few days ago, and as soon as his brain was hot, he had the courage to face a wave of X-Men led by Professor X, and he didn't even dare to go out until now.

He was afraid that if he left on the front foot, the X-Men would come and raid his nest on the back foot.

After all, he didn't know that if he wasn't there, the Jiang pawnshop, which didn't have the blessing of the absolute realm, would the pawnshop system throw away the festival and directly unbind the house after letting people burn it to the ground, so that he could return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

If it weren't for the fact that time passed day by day, and the task released by the first-level pawnshop had not been completed, he would not have gone out to find Anthony on the list today!

So, if Ellis knew who was spreading foreigners on the Internet who was very upright and liked to go straight, he would definitely spray this guy who spread rumors to death......

"That's right, the pawnshop is indeed recruiting assistants, but unfortunately, there are no suitable candidates to apply for the ...... so far."

As soon as the girl heard that she hadn't recruited anyone yet, she directly interrupted him and asked eagerly, "Do you really mind mutant employees as the recruiter said?" ”

"Of course I won't mind, even if the applicant is an ET alien with a big head and a small body, less than one meter and two meters tall, I won't care!"

After emphasizing once again that he would treat all races equally, Ellis thought to himself, "Anyway, all I need is a janitor, even if it's a dog, as long as it can take the time to call me when the enemy comes to the door, I'm willing to recruit it!" ’

"Do you think I can do it?" After listening to Ellis's nonsense, the girl asked timidly.

"You're a mutant?" Combined with the girl's question, it is not difficult for Ellis to judge her identity, but she did not leave any obvious flaws on her body because of the awakening X gene, which can be distinguished at a glance.

"Yes!" The girl was silent for a few more moments before answering him in a voice the size of a mosquito.

"How old are you?"

Ellis glanced at the girl in front of him and said, "Although I accept employees from the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms and the major races here, there are two types of people who are not within this range. ”

"What two types of people?"

"First, holiday workers. Second, minors. ”

Ellis looked at the girl who was a little nervous and said affirmatively, "And you, obviously, are underage!" ”

"Are you afraid that the police will trouble you?" The girl looked at him with some surprise, and she really couldn't figure out how the guy who dared to recruit mutant employees openly could be afraid that the police would trouble him.

"As long as you don't call the police, the New York police won't pay attention to these issues at all!"

Ellis shook his head at the girl, and continued, "I'm afraid that your parents will come to trouble me after they find out that you work in my store!" ”

"Parents ......"

The girl silently repeated the word in her mind before she looked up at Ellis and assured him, "Don't worry, I don't have parents anymore, and if you can accept me, I won't become a short-term worker in your mouth." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your parents were ......"

After Ellis took the initiative to apologize to the girl, considering that his pawn shop was really short of people, he didn't think much about it, so he said directly to the girl: "Since you are here to apply for a job, let's introduce yourself first!" ”

"You can call me Naughty or Anne Marie!"

After saying her name, the girl thought for a moment before continuing: "I am seventeen years old and a mutant, but my abilities are a little unlucky, because it always hurts my friends!" ”
