Chapter 21: What a Careful-Eyed Cat
Once he learned that Alice had been an arsonist who had used his strength unscrupulously, Russell felt that he was suddenly unable to look directly at the rosewood.
Originally, he also felt that this black straight beauty looked stable and dignified, giving people a sense of down-and-out generosity...... Russell has a good impression of her.
And now, he didn't even dare to look at Luo Li.
I'm worried that when I look at it, I will look at it too.
In that case, the situation will become too awkward...... Russell felt that if he did, he might be so shy that he would blush.
Anyway, all the things that should be asked have been asked.
Not only did he get information about Morgan and Kamalse, but he even got a lot of extras. It can be said that it is very rewarding.
“…… So, what price do I have to pay for this intelligence? ”
Russell asked obediently.
Although Grandma Lan used to be a member of the Tower of Babel, she would not necessarily ask herself for a fee.
But after all, she is a middleman, and she is also in the intelligence business. At least ask or ask, and it is polite to take it for granted.
Words like "You're learning design, so you can help me draw a logo" and things like that can easily raise blood pressure.
"Nothing. These are all things you should know. ”
Grandma Lan smiled kindly, "I just told you what they didn't tell you." ”
"But about elves, that's not what I should know."
Russell whispered, "I'd better return a secret of similar weight." ”
He reached for his face.
As ultramarine flames rose, Russell became a barber under Grandma Lan's astonished gaze.
“…… I see. ”
Grandma Lan frowned and looked at the barber, her gaze gradually turning to abruptness.
The Luo Wei next to him blurted out: "You are the barber?" ”
As soon as she exited, she saw Grandma Lan's eyes change.
But Luo Wei didn't understand what was happening, and just looked at Grandma Lan in some confusion.
When the barber heard this, he tilted his head to look at Grandma Lan and chuckled, "It seems that you did not exit the Tower of Babel." ”
"Silly Kid ......"
Grandma Lan smiled bitterly when she heard this, and Luo Yu's face became even more dazed.
Although she realized that she had probably slipped out, she didn't understand what she had said wrongly that allowed Russell to get such information.
- They are all children, why is there such a big gap between children and children?
So Grandma Lan sighed and patiently explained to Luo Yu in person: "Because this information is too fresh, it has not been more than a month. It didn't leak out at all.
"You were amazed at that, but you didn't explain to me who the 'barber' was. Even after I looked at you, you still didn't explain it to me...... This means that you assume that I know.
"But if I'm really retired, I'm definitely not qualified to hear about the 'new members'. Even if you knew, you couldn't tell me. In other words, I don't know who the 'barber' is. ”
“…… I get it. ”
Luo Yu lowered her head with some guilt: "It's me who is too stupid." ”
"Let's take our time...... But it can't be too slow. ”
Grandma Lan sighed: "I can't take you for the rest of my life."
"I'm already a half-cut old thing, and you're going to have to take over my business before I die...... If you can't do it in the future, just ask the barber. ”
“…… Got it. ”
Luo Yu nodded slightly.
She looked at the barber, her gaze becoming more complicated.
And Grandma Lan looked at the barber and sighed, "What a careful-eyed cat." ”
"That's a good thing, Grandma Lan. At least it shows that I don't hold grudges. ”
The barber said with a smile.
She shook her head a little helplessly: "It's okay, so I don't have to worry about you being at a loss...... I'll have to count on you to help this stupid rabbit in the future. In terms of generation, she can also be regarded as your aunt. ”
Grandma Elan's age and wisdom only understood in an instant what the barber meant.
This is the same nature as the previous question she asked, "Have you ever seen the statue of a deer's head?"
No matter how Russell reacted to this at the time, his hesitant attitude alone had actually told her the answer she wanted.
As a result, after Russell suffered a loss, he also paid for his own problem and suddenly told Grandma Lan an important information of the same nature.
At that time, she was only stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Russell's thoughts. It's a little prank.
It can be said that he has returned the favor to the other in his own way.
- But Radix didn't react.
As a result, her attitude exposed Grandma Lan instead.
"It's not that I hide my identity, and it's not that I don't trust you or how."
In order to prevent Russell from getting upset, Grandma Lan explained: "It's just that I'm really semi-retired. Because my body can't stand it anymore...... Now I have no contact with the organization, including the middleman's business and the identity of the Tower of Babel, all of which are inherited by Lotus.
"But there is no such thing as 'retirement' in the Tower of Babel. After all, memories are still well stored in the brain, and once they are queried, they will still expose intelligence. As long as you have seen the deer head statue, you are a core member - you can't quit anymore.
"That's why I asked you that question earlier...... Because I didn't know from the information of the Tower of Babel that Ultramarines are also official members of the Tower of Babel. So I have to ask if you've ever seen a deer's head, which determines how much I'm going to tell you. ”
"It's a very responsible attitude."
The barber nodded, giving Grandma Lan a fairly high approval of her cautious attitude.
After all, he is asking now, and maybe someone is asking in the future......
"You can be cautious."
Grandma Lan admonished with some anxiety: "Don't let anyone else know that you switch back and forth between the identity of barber and ultramarine.
"Once this secret is revealed, your alibi will be scrapped."
"I understand."
The barber tasted the real concern from Grandma Lan's words, and immediately felt a warmth in his heart, and subconsciously flattered: "Isn't this for you...... I know you are trustworthy. ”
“…… Your coquettish talent is so similar to your mother. ”
Grandma Lan smiled helplessly.
She looked at the barber with a little doting in her eyes: "Forget it, don't call Grandma Lan, it sounds weird." If you don't dislike it, you can call me grandma. ”
"Grandma!"
The barber immediately struck the snake with the stick.
He sneered and asked, "Speaking of grandma, does this store have a back door?" I'm going back without changing...... Blame the trouble. ”
"Of course there is, and there is more than one."
Seeing the children of former acquaintances again and being called grandma, Grandma Lan was obviously in a good mood: "Otherwise, what if there are people waiting outside when I receive you?" In that case, when you go out, you will be seen by others no matter what...... Whether it's a 'mercenary' or a 'client', once the identity is revealed, it is a big trouble.
"I've been doing this for years. You don't do that kind of stupid thing.
"But you use this outfit...... What do you want to do? ”
"I'm going to go downtown, meet a few friends, and explain something."
The barber smiled a little smugly, "You've probably heard of 'The Godfather' - that's me, too." ”
“…… You mean, the 'savior of the uncensored' who has been very popular lately? ”
Hearing the news, Grandma Lan was really taken aback.
She thought about it for a moment.
Suddenly, he replied to Russell, "Then after you go around the back door, come in through the main entrance."
"I have something I need your help with, and I want you to make an official appearance before I can entrust you."
"What's the matter?"
"It's very simple, just scare people."
Grandma Lan smiled and said, "Borrow your prestige a little." ”
