Chapter 31: The Crystal Watch
"It's ...... Hidden Snake Church! These bastards, they are everywhere!"
Watson on the ground was not very understandable, but a sign specially drawn with blood next to the circle caught his attention, and Morrigan's face quickly turned gloomy after seeing this sign, and he gritted his teeth and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hidden Serpent Church, if you don't mind, tell me about them?"
"This is a civil anti-government organization, and the whole church is made up of crazy professionals who have strengthened their power by absorbing people who are dissatisfied with the government, and their church members have appeared in several cities in the region for several years, and their code of conduct is to make trouble for us government agencies, murder, robbery, poisoning, kidnapping, evil sacrifices, and they can do anything that can cause panic among the people. ”
Morrigan gripped the hilt of the sword in his right hand, exuding an invisible momentum.
"Looks like you've fought with them?"
"It's not just me, the captain-level police officers in Dongcheng District have fought with these miscellaneous people, some more than once or twice, but we have not been able to completely eradicate this organization all this time, and their church members have killed a batch of weeds on the side of the road, and a batch of them have popped up, and all of them are good. ”
Speaking of the Hidden Snake Church, Morrigan talked about the garrison and their grievances as if he had opened a conversation, and it seemed that the two sides had indeed had a grudge for a long time.
"The answer is probably in this circle, what is the function of this circle?"
Watson noticed that Morrigan had been staring at the scarlet circle at his feet as he said this, and couldn't help but ask.
"The most wicked sacrifice...... I should have thought that this group of people would dare to blatantly kill ordinary people in Dongcheng District and use them for evil sacrifices. ”
"Well, I don't understand, what is the most evil sacrifice?"
"Dedicating people's lives to demons through a circle, and demons in return for strengthening their bodies or other abilities, until now we don't know where the Hidden Serpent Church got this ritual, but it seems to us that this ritual is the foundation of the Church's continuous development, because it is the thirst for power that has led many people to trample on their principles, in fact, there have been examples of this even in the ranks of our garrison...... Obviously went to exterminate them, but in the end he became one of them. ”
Speaking of these past events, Morrigan showed a look of disappointment that could not be concealed, and the betrayal from his companions was always the most helpless and painful.
"That's right...... Now that it's done, can I go?"
Helping these policemen find these clues, Watson asked after realizing that the task had been completed and recovering the diffuse dark energy on the ground.
"Of course...... Wait, I have one more question, can I still come to you for help if there's anything in the future?"
"As long as you pay enough, I'll consider it, if you come empty-handed, then you better not come to me, I'm not one of those detectives who thinks about doing some cases with you all day to improve my reputation. Also, don't forget that premium credential, if I wasn't there when you came, just slipped it through the crack in the door. ”
"Hehe, you're not like them, after all, you're an expert in this kind of thing, aren't you? Okay, let's go, I understand what you mean, that voucher will definitely be sent to you, for me, it's just a matter of getting a stamp and moving your wrists. ”
Walking out of the house with an umbrella, Watson subconsciously glanced back at the second floor and found that Morrigan was standing at the window looking at him, waved his hand, and then turned and walked into the rain.
I went back to my home to continue my work, and it took about half an hour to finally finish the maintenance of the equipment, and then walked to the side and took out the windbreaker that was soaked in the bucket yesterday and cleaned it, which was supposed to be put outside to dry but looked up at the light rain outside, so I could only fold the clothes and put them into a bag, ready to take them to the laundry opened on the street outside, and let them help iron them.
Thinking that he also had a set of leather armor to be cleaned, he simply brought it with him to save himself trouble, so Watson went out again with a bunch of clothes, but this time he didn't leave the dumplings, because he was going to go to the Taobao market later, because he had a flame ring and rushed home, so he didn't seriously shop in the entire Taobao market, and now that the task is over, he was going to rest for two days, so he naturally wanted to go there for a good look.
Turn off the lights in the house, walk out of the door, go to the laundry first, entrust the clothes there, explain that you will come to pick them up, settle the bill in advance, and walk towards the Taobao market on Glory Street, although ordinary people will choose to stay at home in this weather, but for professionals, although they will also rest, their rest is to wander around, to spend their own money, to increase their combat effectiveness, so when Watson came to the Taobao market, the situation here seems to be more lively than last time.
Because there are not too many restrictions on the Taobao market, basically, as long as you pay a certain booth fee, you can find an open space, lay a blanket, and then put on the things you want to sell or exchange, and then all you have to do is wait for customers to come to the door.
Watson held the dumplings all the way and looked at those strange goods and guessed their role, the people who set up stalls in the Taobao market are not appraisers, and the source of the goods in their hands does not have a fixed formal channel, so sometimes even they don't quite understand what the things in their hands are for, which is also the charm of the Taobao market, everything depends on their own eyesight, whether it is a profit or a loss, they can't rely on others.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
Walking to a stall, Watson stopped, not that there was any enchanted equipment here, but that it was selling what he needed recently----- watches, most of the professionals would buy themselves a watch to make it easier to calculate the time, Watson had already had this idea, but he didn't find a watch store in the past few days when he came to Wildas, and now there are just some of them selling here, which also saves him the effort to go elsewhere.
"20 copper coins in the front row, 60 copper coins in the second row, and 1 silver coin in the third row. I got these things at a watch shop when I was doing a task, and the price they put on them was much higher than that, so I didn't bargain about the price, and I wanted to buy it and pay for it. ”
Behind the stall, there was a cloth under the buttocks, and the sitting boss looked up at Watson, picked up a watch in front of him and turned it upside down.
"Hmmm......"
"Why can't you look at it?" or don't have the money to buy it?"
The stall owner's words are very straightforward and impulsive, but as a professional, no one can expect them to be gentle.
"I have the money, but these goods are a little bad, is there a better one? People like us who have to fight a few times every other time, ordinary people's watches can't be worn for long, and when the time comes, someone will be smashed in the battle, so who will I talk to? You say yes. ”
Watson thought that since he wanted to buy a watch, he naturally had to buy a practical one, and professionals would inevitably bump and bump, and those ordinary people could not withstand such destruction.
"Okay, you're here at the right time, I have two good ones here, but they cost 10 silver coins, and they don't bargain either. ”
"Take it out and take a look, the quality is acceptable, so I just bought it. ”
"Hey, the quality is definitely gone, I've tried it myself, and ordinary shocks won't even leave a trace. ”
The stall owner took out a cloth bag from his arms, and after spreading it out, there were two black watches lying inside, Watson reached out and picked up one and put it in front of him, and found that it was not only the time record but also the effect of a compass, and quietly pinched it hard and found that the texture was indeed good, and the strap did not know what it was used to support, and it was quite strong when it was pulled.
"Boss, tell me about the benefits of this watch, if it is just an extra compass and a warp drop point, it is not worth 10 silver coins. ”
"Clever, I dare to quote the price of 10 silver coins, of course, I am not to deceive, do you see if there is a small gear at the top of the dial that can turn? ”
Watson looked at the pinion that the stall owner had said, pinched it between his fingers, and a blue beam of light immediately shot out from the lower end of the dial.
"This ...... Loaded with energy crystals?"
"A little eyesight, I also specially consulted a few friends to figure it out, these two watches are equipped with spars so that there can be searchlights of this color and can continue to strengthen! ”
"What you mean by that sentence is that the light emitted by this thing can hurt people?"
"Yes, if you are not prepared to be illuminated by a light with full energy on, your eyes are not so comfortable, don't ask me how I know, anyway, it has this effect, of course, you can't use it too many times, if you use too much spar, the energy of the spar will be consumed, and the price of an energy spar is not cheap. ”
"One last question...... I won't have any trouble buying this kind of thing, right?"
"Hah, trouble? If it wasn't bothersome, I'd sell it for 10 silver......?
"What do I know...... But this thing is really good, give you the money, I want this piece. ”
"Aren't you afraid of trouble?"
"We people have enough trouble in their usual lives, a little more, no more, a little less, and I don't believe anyone can hunt me down for this watch. ”
I put the watch on my left wrist and pulled the sleeve of my trench coat to cover it, so it's always good to be safe and secure even though I'm not afraid of trouble.
Standing up and continuing to wander around, Watson went to a stall selling carving tools and bought a new set of carving knives, although the set given by Morry was not broken, but a spare set must be available, otherwise if it breaks down by accident at night, he will not know if the shop that sells carving knives will not be opened.
