Chapter 45: A New Crisis (2)
After three rounds of drinking, Jamie suddenly said a sentence that shocked Brunei to his senses, and he himself still looked drunk. Brunei looked at Jamie for half a minute, but Jamie burped, sat back, and began to eat again. Tang sat on the side, and he didn't want to interject, with a lively expression.
Brunei glanced at him, but to be honest, although the two have lived together for almost a year, most of the time Tang is like a puppet and has no self-awareness, except for drinking water, he even has to be fed food, and occasionally he is awake a few times, and the memory between them seems to be not continuous, and the current Tang, Brunei is really not very familiar, so he simply doesn't care about him.
It took Brunei ten minutes, picking up vegetables and pouring wine, wasting his old nose, and finally getting the general picture out of Jamie's mouth intermittently, and sorting out the outline of things in his mind.
A mysterious man dressed in a black robe and wearing a face mask, in Jamie's words, "If it weren't for looking stronger than you, I would have thought you were coming", finds Jamie who has just finished his work on a "dark and windy night in the moon".
Jamie had just finished doing the work of two people at that time, his back was sore, and he couldn't straighten his waist all the way, so he didn't see how that person appeared, and a black shadow appeared in front of him.
"'You're Jim. He said that at the time, didn't you hear it, his voice, it didn't look like a human being. Tynyima infiltrated people. Jamie shuddered as he said this, and took another sip of wine.
"Jim?" Brunei was stunned for a moment, then asked casually.
Jamie slammed the table again, and this time the conversation went smoothly, saving Brunei a lot of effort: "yes! Who is Jim? Ahh Hehe, crooked mouthed brother, you-don't be afraid, I'm not targeting you, I am, learn the situation at that time. โ
Brunei nodded repeatedly, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I know, you continue, keep talking." โ
"I was so angry that I was wearing black clothes in the middle of the night to scare anyone!, and I said what I am, Ji-Jim!" Brunei didn't notice it in the past, but now he suddenly felt that Jamie was quite talented in storytelling, obviously dizzy from drinking, unable to stand steadily, and his movements and expressions were still vivid when telling stories, which made people immersive, "As a result, people raised their hands, heh, think about it-black gloves, inlaid with gems on them!"
Jamie made a gesture and drew a circle bigger than his head: "Such a big one! I can't afford to mess with it. It was too late, it was too late, and I knelt down for himโhiccup. โ
"Kneel?" Brunei was stunned for a moment, and then saw Jamie burp and eat two bites of food.
"Oh, crooked mouth, Aunt Susan, she's really worried about me, this body has been getting worse and worse in the past two days. Brunei was stunned, and it took a long time to talk around and around for a long time before he pulled the topic back to where it was, which had suddenly deviated hundreds of miles.
Jamie also seemed to be really full, and he didn't stop when he hiccuped, and his words leaked intermittently in the middle: "Well, I knelt on the ground with a 'poof' and cried when I hugged his legs. I told him that my name was Jamie, not Jim, he must have recognized the wrong person, and I was really sorry for wasting his time. โ
"Well, guess what he said?" Jamie suddenly giggled again, and Brunei laughed a little behind his back, and laughed for a long time before continuing, "He apologized to me in embarrassment." On the glove, there is such a big sapphire figure, apologize to me. We've got a face, right? Hehe-hey, come on, what's the hurry? โ
"He said he was looking for Jamie โ that was me. As a result, he took the initiative to think that Jamie was a nickname, and that my real name was Jim, so he felt offended me and wanted to ask me for forgiveness. Think about it, crooked boy, you may be developed now, but you haven't seen this kind of thing, have you? Of course, I'm not the kind of hypocritical slut who doesn't know how to lift, and if he gives me face like this, I definitely can't kick my nose in the face, so ah, I didn't continue to entangle with him. โ
Brunei looked at Jamie, whose face was red and didn't know why he seemed a little proud, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and nodded.
Jamie happily continued, "Then he asked me if I was sweeping the streets. At that time, I thought, we are not short of ambition, although it is not a glorious errand to do, this handyman is also a serious position, this 'street sweeper' is unreasonable. I'm thinking, hey, guess what he came up with?"
"50 standard units?" Brunei finally got to the point, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Jamie was stunned: "Hey, yes, crooked mouth." Aunt Susan keeps saying that you have a good brain, and I was not convinced before. You can guess it, it's amazing. โ
"Nonsense, isn't that what you said yourself. Brunei laughed awkwardly twice and poured Jamie another glass of wine: "No, nothing." Jamie, you go on, come, take a sip of wine, go on. โ
Jamie didn't shirk either, he raised his glass and drank it down, and while watching Brunei refill his glass, he shook his head and said, "Well, he took out an external magic emblem." Heh, what am I doing? Who am I! Thirty-six, Jamie, who grew up in College City, and has never had a magic emblem on it! I could tell at a glance that this thing had at least 50 standard units. โ
[At least?, is he drunk and confused?]
"Less nonsense. Don't you know? The technical conditions of the external magic emblems are not up to par, and each one has a minimum load. If the stored spiritual power is lower than this standard, it will cause the escape speed to be too fast and lose its practical value. Brunei pursed his lips, "Do you think you haven't spoken for too long, and you can't stand being idle?"
[Hey, this-you can see it?]
The others didn't know that Brunei was communicating with the system in their hearts, and under the cover of the mask, they couldn't even notice Brunei Si's pouting. Tang hadn't left Brunei since just now, and he didn't have any special reaction now, only if he really looked very closely, he could notice that his eyebrows seemed to move slightly, it looked more like a subconscious twitch, or something on his face was a little itchy.
Then he told me, answer a few questions, and the 50 standard units will be mine. Jamie lowered his voice, patted his pocket, and smiled smugly, "Hehe, of course I didn't promise him directly, but asked him to ask directly." As a result, he asked me if I knew a man named 'Brunei Carlyle'. โ
"......" Brunei's eyebrows furrowed.
Jamie patted Brunei on the shoulder: "Speaking of which, it turns out that you still have a surname." Carlisle, hey, that sounds pretty good, you kid, you didn't even tell me, I was stunned for a long time. โ
Brunei laughed and said, "Jamie, aren't you stunned for a long time because you don't remember my name?"
Jamie burst out laughing, "Hahaha, it's not for nothing. Anyway, I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that your name is Brunei Si, hahaha. Then I raised my vigilance, no matter what, the relationship between the two of us can't do anything that harms you, isn't it. Not to mention 50 standard units, it's 500, 5000 - then he has to be willing to take it out, right? โ
Brunei laughed twice: "Yes, yes, yes, so, what did he ask?"
"Well, honestly, I really don't understand. Jamie frowned and scratched his head, "He's not really asking a big deal." I can understand your physiognomy at first, but then I ask you about your habits, what are the 'Carlyle characteristics'? I really don't remember very well, it's all trivial and messy questions, yes. โ
Brunei's brows also furrowed: "What did you ask?"
"Really, it's too complicated, it's too trivial, I just can't remember. Jamie waved his hand, "Oh, I asked for a long time, and finally added a sentence that I remember clearly." Does Carlisle have any other special habits, the more detailed the better, and if there is valuable information, he will pay more. As a result, I asked for a long time, but he didn't tell me what information was valuable......"
"'Special habits'?" Brunei repeated, feeling more and more strange about this matter, and laughed, "Jamie, excuse me, trying to think about what else is strange when he asks questionsโnot quite normal?"
"Oh, he's really asking this question - huh? It's asking you if there's anything out of the ordinary. Jamie's mind really didn't seem to be clear, and he smirked, and Brunei pushed him several times before finally reacting, "It's nothing." It's really nothing. Oh yes, and if I have to say something weird, I mentioned that sometimes when you talk to yourself, deliberately saying something behind someone's back, making some facial expressions, his reaction seems to be a little intense. โ
Brunei trembled all over: "I, talking to myself?"
"yes, sometimes you don't say something that doesn't matter, when we first met. Later, you talk to yourself less and less. Jamie waved his hand and smiled, "I explained to him for you, you definitely don't have any mental illness." Alas, I suddenly remembered. I heard that your new job recently seems to be walking around with a little girl, right? Is it that people are looking for you to be your son-in-law? Then don't worry, I haven't said a bad word about you, I ...... it."
Jamie's words after that were no longer audible, he just lowered his voice and gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "System!
[Hey, hey, you can't blame me for that. It's entirely your own fault that you make a sound when you talk to me. ใ
[However, it's weird...... In the past two days, why have people been looking for me around here?]
"Who do I ask?"
