Chapter Twenty-Three: The Stunned Mouse

When he left Shangcheng and returned to the grain store, Qi Lin unexpectedly found several people with broken heads and bleeding people lying in the alley behind the storefront, and after a little inspection, he found that these guys were all hit on the head by heavy objects and fell into a coma.

The guys were carrying knives, daggers, and the like that the rats on the street liked to wield.

"Is it again? And this time with a weapon, it seems that the priest's promise is not foolproof. ”

Seeing that the injuries of a few people would not be fatal, Qi Lin also let go of the idea of disposing of the corpses, left them to fend for themselves, and turned around and returned to the store alone.

As soon as she opened the door, Angel rushed up and hugged Qi Lin's legs tightly.

"Brother, just now there were bad guys who wanted to climb in through the back wall, and Angel was repulsed, they won't die, did Angel kill someone?!"

Holding Qi Lin for a while, Angel's slightly uneasy voice sounded between Qi Lin's legs, and it could be heard that this little girl was a little scared, after all, this was the first time she used her extraordinary ability to attack others.

It seems that the guys who are lying in the back alley with their heads broken and bleeding are made like this by Angel, but they can instantly stun a few rats who are good at street fighting, and it seems that Angel's extraordinary ability is even stronger than she imagined.

"Don't worry, everything is with me, I just checked, they are all a little injured, there is no danger to their lives, and those people are bad people, if Angel doesn't resist, you will be in danger yourself, this time you did a good job, if this situation happens again next time, you still have to resist bravely." ”

After comforting for a long time, Angel finally slowly suppressed the panic in her heart, and began to slowly talk about what had just happened under Qi Lin's inquiry.

Not long after Qi Lin left, several people began to knock on the door to enter the store, but Angel obeyed Qi Lin's instructions and did not make any answer, no matter what the gang said, Angel pretended that she did not hear.

And because of Pastor Matteo Ricci's promise, the sheriffs in the lower city still pay attention to this small food store, after all, it won't be long before this is the property of the Holy Church.

Those people didn't dare to break into the door in broad daylight, so they chose the window on the second floor at the back of the store after they couldn't knock on the door, after all, for rats who are good at sliding doors and picking locks, climbing up to the window on the second floor may be more familiar than entering through the door.

Angel, who had already become alert to the sound of the knock on the door, naturally noticed the movement behind the house, but she was still a child, and she was already scared enough by the knock on the door.

Fortunately, after helping Qi Lin find the half of the lead heart, Angel felt that her ability was still very useful, and she could be regarded as overcoming her previous fear and aversion to using her ability.

So when the mice were about to climb to the window on the second floor, Angel decisively struck the match in her hand.

In an instant, under the convergence of Angel's matchlight, several large stones four or five meters square appeared four or five meters above the heads of these people, and then in accordance with the effect of gravity, these large stones fell directly in a free fall posture.

When the stone appeared, several mice were already stunned, after all, it was too inconsistent with the worldview of normal people to appear out of thin air in mid-air, so when the stone fell, several people had not completely recovered from their senses, and they were all directly hit on the head by the stone in a climbing posture and fell off the wall.

If you want to suffer such a blow, although you will not lose your life, a serious concussion is unavoidable.

After listening to Angel's story, Qi Lin couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, the rats never gave up monitoring the grain store, and they had already known about Angel's existence, so they definitely knew that there were people in the store when they came.

However, they still chose to force their way in, and even carried sharp knives in their arms, which showed that this time they were not satisfied with the reconnaissance of the grain store.

According to common sense, it is very likely that they came to kidnap Angel this time, after all, Matteo Ricci's promise is only to protect Qi Lin but not to protect Angel, with Angel in her hands, Qi Lin will naturally be at their mercy at that time.

Pinching the half of the lead heart hidden in his pocket, Qi Lin sighed softly, the current Wanjie Supermarket only has the most ordinary various life and production commodities on the earth, although it can be of great use if it is used well, but it does not have any really strong combat power and deterrence.

Sensing this, Qi Lin was even more determined to cooperate with the church to make money.

He has to quickly get together 1 million points, and when the time comes, after finding the other half of the lead core, Wanjie Supermarket will be able to open new functions, according to the importance of Wanjie Supermarket to the lead core, it can be seen that the origin of the lead core is definitely not small, and adhering to the principle of equivalent exchange, the function opened with the lead core is definitely not trivial.

"At that time, I should have the ability to protect myself!" Qi Lin thought to himself.

At this time, Qi Lin didn't know that there was a conversation going on about him in the church of the person he expected to work with.

"This reading glasses do have an effect, but there is no trace of supernatural power in them, is it really done with mundane substances? ”

An elderly man in a pure white priest's robe said with interest while looking at the information that Qi Lin had given to Pastor Matteo Ricci.

Matteo Ricci said with a smile: "It's not surprising, in the records of the Holy Scriptures, the ancestors of the original world were able to use the technological power that everyone could use to exert the effect that could only be achieved by extraordinary power, and at that time, extraordinary power was just the auxiliary power of the ancestors. ”

"You mean, that young man named Qi Lin has been able to reach the level of technology of the ancestors, can he use the so-called scientific and technological power to do things that the transcendents can't do?"

"Of course not, Your Excellency the Registrar, that is completely impossible, the power possessed by the ancestors back then has even surpassed that of the gods, and the things that Qi Lin took out are too different from the power possessed by the ancestors, but he has at least inherited or rediscovered some of the techniques of the ancestors. ”

The rector nodded, obviously he still agreed with Matteo Ricci's inference, but then he frowned and said, "Why is Qi Lin's information less than a year old, and the previous information?"

"Without previous information, Qi Lin appeared in Willis City out of thin air, he appeared with a behavior and habits that were obviously different from the locals, and he was wearing a piece of clothing similar to pajamas, and the only thing he had with him was a thick quilt, but I have contacted the nearby diocese and asked them to help investigate Qi Lin's trajectory in other cities. ”

Obviously, Matteo Ricci was a little unwilling to investigate Qi Lin's information, after all, as one of the most powerful forces in this city, this country, and even this world, the Church's intelligence capabilities are definitely one of the best, but now they can't find out Qi Lin's origin.

"There is no need to investigate, there will be no results, he is not from this country, I even suspect that he is not even from this world!" Just as Matteo Ricci spoke, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded from outside.
