Chapter 14: Rats and Intestines
Qi Lin was not too surprised by Angel's request, no matter how bad the father treated Angel, after all, he raised Angel to this age, and there are also people in this world who die for the traditional idea of being in peace, since Qi Lin adopted Angel, then he is naturally obliged to help Angel take care of her father's funeral.
After thinking for a while, Qi Lin asked Angel to put on a shabby and not too warm old clothes, no way, the slums in winter are not so peaceful, people who are extremely hungry can do anything, proper camouflage is still necessary, not to mention that with that thermal underwear to wear inside, Angel will not really feel cold.
After that, Qi Lin pushed a small cart and left the shop with a bag of about 50 catties of grain.
Although Bilodo donated the store to the church, the food in the store is not a donated item, which is also a back road left by Bilodo for Qi Lin, after all, the food stored in the store can make a fortune if it is sold cheaply.
As soon as he walked out of the shop, Qi Lin suddenly noticed that several figures flashed by at the corner of the street.
Although it was only a flash, Qi Lin could also see the faces of several people clearly, and among them were the rats who often moved with El and Nance, who had been cooked by him.
"Why did they suddenly appear here?" Qi Lin thought to himself while pushing the food, and Angel, who was following him, could also see that Qi Lin was thinking, and she was very well-behaved and did not make any sound.
At that time, the pastor gave a promise to protect Qi Lin for three months, as a representative of the faith, the pastor usually seemed to have no arrogance, but in most cases his words were more effective than ordinary officials, with the pastor's assurance, as long as Qi Lin did not violate the rules on the surface, even ordinary officials would not provoke the majesty of the pastor.
According to the habits of this gang of rats, they are definitely not drunk in the Chinese New Year's Eve, these guys will definitely not get up so early, but just now Qi Lin saw that their faces were definitely frozen outside for a long time, and this gang of people was definitely not chatting outside for so long.
"Haven't they given up on this grain store yet?" Qi Lin turned his mind a little and analyzed that the target of these rats was definitely Bilodo's grain store.
"But why?"
Qi Lin thought a little puzzled, if it was possible to say that they were for the storefront of this grain store, after all, in this small city, the location of the store of Bilodo is quite good, at least it can be worth a lot of money, but Bilodo has already donated the store to the church in front of the pastor.
Not to mention this group of rats, even the owner of the entire city, Count Pothos, could not snatch the donated items from the hands of the gods.
"Unless their target is not a storefront at all, is it to find those two gangsters who have been cooked by me?" When thinking of this, Qi Lin was shocked, this was the first time he had killed someone, although because he was in a different world, coupled with his unique calmness as a doctor, Qi Lin did not have much emotional fluctuations, but when he thought that someone might have noticed it, Qi Lin was still flustered.
But then after thinking for a while, Qi Lin found that it was not quite right, the rats' reaction was definitely not so fast, it was normal for them to buy drunk in that tavern for two days, Qi Lin was very confident in his actions at that time, in this world without monitoring and the eye of the sky, his actions could almost be called seamless.
pondered back and forth for a long time, but he really didn't know the point, Qi Lin simply didn't think much about it, anyway, he knew that there was a big mouse called intestines in the revenge list in his heart.
Of course, the sight of rats once again had to make Qi Lin more vigilant, and he pretended that he had forgotten something, and returned to the store with Angel.
He laid out some simple traps almost as fast as he could. Then he took Angel back into the street with his usual face.
And just as Qi Lin was taking Angel to the slums, in a manor near the castle of Count Luthos, a man in a dress could not hide the savage and fierce atmosphere was furious.
"You bunch of garbage, you can't handle this little thing well, and it actually led to the church's action, I tell you, if you can't get what I want before the church takes over, I'll let you know why I'm called intestines!"
Holding a sharp dagger in his hand, he said coldly to a few of his subordinates who were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, although his tone was cold, but the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to erupt.
Listening to the words of the intestines, those subordinates trembled, the intestines from a small gangster to the extent of controlling the entire underground world of Willis City depends not only on the ferocity of the enemy, even for his own subordinates, his ferocity has not diminished at all, even these few are considered to be famous rats in Willis City, but in front of the intestines there is only trembling.
Seeing the reaction of several subordinates, the intestines took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and then said coldly: "Have you found those two stupid people?"
When he said this, although the intestines suppressed his anger, the hand holding the dagger was clenched tightly, and it was obvious that he had moved to kill the two fools in his mouth.
Hearing the questioning of the intestines, one of them said cautiously: "Those two fellows went to the Russ tavern after they came out of the grain store, and they stayed there all day, and then they could not find any trace of them, and I have arranged for my men to look for them." ”
The corners of the intestines' eyes trembled when he heard this, and then he said in a cold tone like freezing: "It seems that they are hiding, I originally wanted to spare them a dog's life, but I dared to hide, arrange three times as many people for me to find them, and bring them to me directly after finding them, I haven't played with my intestines for a long time!"
The man hurriedly nodded and said: "I'll make arrangements, and according to your instructions, I have already found out the truth of the grain store, the old guy Bilodor is dead, and now there is only his beggar guy in the grain store, I have arranged for someone to look for that thing whenever I have the opportunity, but Pastor Matteo Ricci has already said that he will protect the beggar, and now he can only search secretly, so the progress will not be too fast." ”
"I don't care who is inside, I just need to get the things in the grain store, whether it's stealing or robbing or whatever, I only care about the result, three months, find it out for me before the church takes over, otherwise you know the consequences!"
Listening to the report of his subordinates, the intestine waved his hand a little impatiently, for his position at the moment, he didn't have to deal with these things himself, but it was a pity that those two guys were greedy at that time and wanted to get the grain store by the way, so that the church now interfered, even he felt that it was very tricky.
At this moment, his anger is more about his subordinates pulling the power of the church into this matter, after all, his position is now enough to know the power of the church's representatives.
After saying this, his intestines groaned again, and he specially advised: "Remember not to make too much noise, especially not to alarm the church and Count Pothos!"
"Yes, sir!" said everyone in unison.
Then the bowels let the group back down and sat alone in the chairs in the hall, his grim expression slowly changing to a look of deference mixed with fear and humility.
"My lord, I have already conveyed the things you have explained, and I will definitely be able to help you get those things within three months. The intestine said respectfully to the empty hall.
"It would be nice if that were the case, but as you said, the church has intervened. ”
At this time, a hoarse voice suddenly appeared in the hall, although it was a reproachful word, but there was no emotion in it, just hearing this voice can make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
At this time, the intestines that looked like an underworld boss were already covered with cold sweat, but before he could open his mouth to defend himself, a pain from his soul made his muscles tremble involuntarily, and he was incontinent in an instant, and yellow and white things squirted out of his lower body quickly, but he couldn't care about these anymore, and the pain of his soul being burned made him hate to die immediately.
"I once told you, don't alarm the church and Count Pothos, this soul calcining is considered a punishment this time, but although soul calcination is painful, it can improve your physique. Again, if you get that thing in three months, I'll take you on a transcendent path, and if you fail, the never-extinguishing fire of the soul will burn your soul to ashes. ”
When the voice fell, the violent trembling of his intestines finally slowly stopped, and he no longer had the strength to clean the filth under his body, and at this moment he was like a fish on the shore, and he could only gasp in vain.
After a while, his intestines slowly eased up, he clenched his fist lightly, and felt an almost irrepressible force rush out of his arm, just in terms of strength, he was almost stronger than the previous two, it was a power that had surpassed the limits of human beings.
"Thank you, sir, don't worry, I'll get those things for you safely. Facing the empty hall, the intestines knelt down and kowtowed as they said words of gratitude and allegiance.
