Chapter 50: Cremation
The antique market for breakfast is very quiet. The gate was not opened, only a side door was opened for internal management to pass through.
You can't stay overnight in the antique market, and the market is closed at 8 p.m., except for the innermost paper shop. Not only did someone spend the night inside, but there were two people: a chubby boss and an overly pretty helper.
"You're here?" The flower boss sat at the door of the paper shop and stacked ingots, and when he saw the person, there was no surprise.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaofo sat opposite the flower boss.
"Why do you believe me again now?" Boss Hua didn't stop what he was doing, and he couldn't see the expression clearly on his face full of meat.
"It's not that I believe it, it's that I think we can cooperate temporarily!"
"Little Buddha, you are really too honest!" Boss Hua finally looked at Zhang Xiaofo squarely, although it still made people unable to see his eyes: "You made me very sad last time!" ”
"Didn't you tell me the whole truth?" Zhang Xiaofo was-for-tat and was not affected.
Boss Hua tried hard to open his eyes and wanted to see Zhang Xiaofo clearly.
Zhang Xiaofo straightened his face so that the other party could see it clearly.
"Hehe, it's my fault." Boss Hua was relieved: "However, Little Buddha, no matter what, I won't want your life." It's not good for me at all if you die! ”
"This can be a prerequisite for our cooperation!" Zhang Xiaofo actually knew in his heart that in Boss Hua, what he needed was not his life: "But I don't know what your purpose is for me like this?" ”
"Didn't you let Relianhua tell you last time? You have to go through these things to grow! ”
"What am I going to do when I grow up?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you this just yet!"
Zhang Xiaofo was a little disappointed, but Boss Hua just didn't let go.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaofo's face was not good, Boss Hua thought for a moment and said, "Although I can't tell you the ultimate goal, I can tell you other things." You already know that there are many monsters in this world, right? ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaofo nodded.
"You also understand that most of those monsters are stronger than normal people, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Your existence, or the existence of your clan, is to protect ordinary humans from being harmed by monsters. In layman's terms, it's a monster scavenger! Is that clear enough? Boss Hua asked.
"Enough popularity! It's the same as the role of a police officer! Zhang Xiaofo positioned himself very accurately this time: "But I passively accept, can I refuse?" ”
"You still don't understand?" Boss Hua sighed: "You are from the Wu Clan!" ”
"Isn't it because I'm a witch that I don't have the right to refuse? Could it be that Westerners have to eat beef, while Easterners can only eat rice? Zhang Xiaofo was very disdainful of this innate sense of destination: "Besides, the Wu people hunt monsters, but I am the same as ordinary people, I have no special abilities, I will be injured and die." Isn't that enough to prove that I'm an ordinary person? What are the characteristics of the Wicans? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”
"There's no doubt that you're a Wic. Those monsters will know who you are as soon as they touch you! ”
"Boss Hua also knew it as soon as I touched it?"
After Zhang Xiaofo asked this question, Boss Hua's fat shook and diverted the topic: "Your eyes." As soon as the monsters see your eyes, they will know that you are a witch! ”
"Is there anything special about my eyes?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"Your eyes are so dark that you can reflect the prototype of a monster! Thus inducing the potential attributes of the monsters! ”
"Looks like I'm going to wear glasses!"
"If you want to hide, you can do it, as long as you wear glasses, ordinary monsters won't be able to recognize you!" Boss Hua also recognized Zhang Xiaofo's method.
"Are ghosts monsters or not?" Zhang Xiaofo was puzzled: "Where do people go after they die?" Where do those monsters go when they die? ”
"This ...... I don't know about this either! Boss Hua never thought of this question: "Since you think of it, go find the answer!" ”
“……”
Zhang Xiaofo looked up at the sky and found that the sun had come out.
"What I'm telling you below, you'd better rest assured. There are many people in this world who are doing the same thing as you besides you. Among them are Wu people, and there are also ordinary people. Someone is friendly to you, and someone can kill you. Some are there to protect humanity, and some are for money. Because there is a certain opportunity to get huge benefits from contacting monsters, there are many murderous and treasure-grabbing things. ”
"Will there be monsters using me in turn?" Zhang Xiaofo asked suddenly.
Boss Hua gave him a meaningful look: "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible, unless you wear glasses and don't know who the other party is." Or maybe the other party has found some secret method so that you can't detect him! ”
"One more question!"
"Ask?"
"Is there any pattern to the tasks you picked for me?"
"Well, it can let you take it step by step, so that you don't get killed all at once. But at the point where you are now, it's no longer necessary. You are free to decide where to go. We're your logistical one. Of course, if you want to continue with the unfinished business left by your mother. "It's rare for the flower boss to be tolerant.
"Got it! The hospital helped me out! Zhang Xiaofo got up and left after speaking.
"Little Buddha!" Boss Hua stopped Zhang Xiaofo: "When you encounter monsters, it's best to treat them as people!" They can be injured and they can die. Their abilities are not against the sky. ”
"Got it!" Zhang Xiaofo waved his hand.
"When the new ID is ready, I'll let the flower give it to you!" Boss Hua never got up from his chair.
"Where's Relent?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
“……”
……
In the elevator of a high-end hotel-style apartment in the city center, Zhang Xiaofo, who was expressionless, spit on himself countless times in his heart, why did he ask so much in the end.
Ding Dong, the elevator went to the twelfth floor.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator, Zhang Xiaofo happened to pass by an African friend.
Even though the scene has been processed, there is still a strong smell of barbecue in the air.
There are four apartments on the twelfth floor, and the place where the cremation occurred is the innermost one.
Although it was temporarily sealed because it was a homicide scene. But this is useless for Zhang Xiaofo. I pulled a wire out of my pocket and inserted it into the keyhole, and in a few clicks I heard the sound of the gears sliding inside - the door opened.
It was pitch black in the apartment, but the smell of barbecue was stronger.
A few steps to the window of the apartment, the curtains were drawn.
The sun shone into the living room all at once.
Zhang Xiaofo looked back and found a thin body curled up in the corner.
