2. Thief ship
In such a treacherous world, a sudden violent knock on the door in the middle of the night can really scare people out of myocardial infarction.
Fortunately, Nie Yuan didn't have the heart, and he quickly reacted.
The information he had drawn from the various pages on the table had told Nie Yuan that he could at least be sure that the place he was currently in was a safe zone in this world.
So there are usually no monsters with teeth and claws, breaking into the bridge in the middle of the night.
He hurriedly put on the inner lining and put on the big gray trench coat hanging on the hanger, completely covering the wounds on his body.
Then I was in a hurry to open the door, and I could already hear the sound of the keychain colliding, which should have seen that no one answered the door, and the people outside were rummaging for the spare key.
Click!
Taking the first step, Nie Yuan opened the door and saw a handsome lady holding a keychain, with short red wavy hair, wearing loose black pajamas, about fifty years old, plump body, looking at him with a bad face.
This person is not easy to mess with.
This was Nie Yuan's first reaction.
Sure enough, the moment she saw Nie Yuan appear, this plump aunt showed a fierce woman's spirit, pointed at Nie Yuan's nose and scolded: "Did I say that you are a leper dog who can't be driven away?" I haven't paid rent for three days, and I was told at noon today that I would check out, but I woke up and you haven't left yet? Do you want me to get my deposit back? β
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman saw something from the crack in the door, pushed Nie Yuan away in disbelief, completely opened the half-hidden door, looked at the fragments of the dressing mirror in that place, and said in shock: "I'm really crazy, I would let someone like you come to rent ......"
When he opened the door, he was sprayed with a split head and a face, and Nie Yuan was also chaotic at the moment.
The situation and subconscious he was in told him that the in front of him should be his landlord.
It's just that I didn't expect the original body to be so miserable, I couldn't even pay the rent for three days, and now the owner has come to pick people up.
This is not the point, the landlord just said that she swore that she would check out at noon today?
So it means that at that time, I was still alive?
You must know that when you came to this world, the sunlight outside the window told Nie Yuan that it was shortly afternoon.
So what happened in this short period of time to make me what I am now?
Nie Yuan just wanted to ask about his situation at noon, but the aunt didn't give him room to ask questions at all, and pointed to the corridor with a dangerous look in her eyes, and said, "Go now!" This deposit is really real, don't want to go back! β
In this way, Nie Yuan came to this world inexplicably with a stomach full of doubts and depression, and in the middle of the night, he was inexplicably driven out and slept on the inexplicable streets.
Walking lonely on the treacherous streets with swaying street lamps, wrapped in a fairly thick windbreaker, but it couldn't bring the slightest warmth to himself, and now Nie Yuan was tightly wrapped in nothing but the cold wind in the middle of the night and the strange cries of unknown birds, only the endless feeling of weakness that came from the depths of his body.
He felt that his body was very light, only weighing about seventy or eighty pounds, like a walking skinny body, with no blood flowing in his body, but the remaining tissue fluid was strangely supporting his internal organs and skin, so that it did not dry up like a mummy.
The cold wind blows in the face, and he is like a residual candle in the wind, which can only sway with the wind, and he does not know when it will be extinguished.
At this moment, what drove Nie Yuan's actions was only the throbbing in the dark, and his soul seemed to be guiding him to the way, as if as long as he went to that place, he would be able to figure out all this and find his own peace.
The bookstore job profile that touched him was put in the inner pocket of his windbreaker, and he didn't take it out to compare the address, but Nie Yuan subconsciously knew how to find it.
It's as if this road has been stepped on countless times, or maybe this body is innate...... Mission?
Following his body's instincts, Nie Yuan crossed two deserted streets and came to a shop that was still dimly lit.
When I looked up, there was a line of quaint font written on the dark brown wooden signboard -
γBuck Bookstoreγ
It's really a bookstore......
It turns out that the information on the job profile is true, but why would such a bookstore attract itself so much, and keep its doors open so late?
Nie Yuan couldn't think about it so much, he only had a feeling of relief at the moment, as if he had finally found what he had been looking for after a lot of hardships.
Crunch~
Without hesitation, Nie Yuan pushed the door straight in.
The sound of the bookstore's door falling into disrepair, especially in the silence of the night, successfully attracted the attention of a woman who seemed to be dozing off at the counter.
The woman raised her head, revealing her face that had been hidden by the shadows before, this was a beautiful woman, her slightly messy blonde hair could not hide her delicate face, and her lazy temperament was suddenly swept away after being disturbed by Nie Yuan, who suddenly entered the door, and a sharp light faintly burst out in her eyes.
She looked up at the uninvited guest in front of her, her expression uncertain.
After staring at Nie Yuan for a while, the woman looked at him and said, "Guest, it's late." β
Nie Yuan didn't know what he should answer, so he had to nod mechanically and said, "It's really late." β
The woman's brows furrowed, a ray of alertness appeared in her eyes, and she said, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" β
This stopped Nie Yuan, and he didn't know what he was doing here, so the atmosphere fell silent.
It wasn't until the woman in front of him seemed to be touching something under the counter that Nie Yuan sensed a sense of crisis for no reason, and then he said truthfully: "I came here under some kind of guidance, this seems to be my instinct and mission, can you understand?" β
At this point, he could only try to describe his wonderful feelings, otherwise he really didn't know where to start.
I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect that after I said this, the woman who was becoming more and more alert was stunned.
She put back the dagger hidden under the counter, continued to look at Nie Yuan strangely, and said, "What guidance did you have underway?" β
Silent.
There was a long silence again.
Then how do I know what I am guided to come, and how can I explain it to you when I am confused myself.
"The ......"
Nie Yuan grunted, and then reached out to take out the recruitment profile in his inner pocket, maybe the scribbled content on it could help the situation in front of him.
However, when his palm touched the crumpled job profile, a sudden inspiration flashed through Nie Yuan's mind, and he withdrew his palm in a daze, looked at the stunned woman in front of him, and said tentatively: "The call of the ancients? β
Hearing this, the blonde woman seemed to be ignited with an astonishing arrogance, she froze for a moment, then stood up, looked at Nie Yuan with burning eyes, with a little expectation in her tone, and asked, "You were guided by the call of the ancients?" β
Nie Yuan was a little unclear when he saw this, but he still tried his best to be as calm as possible, and said, "Yes." β
The woman continued, "Do you remember the source of that pain?" β
Nie Yuan was very skillful this time, nodded with the same expression, and said, "A grudge that the Black Sea Ice Ocean can't extinguish...... Of course I remember. β
He remembered a ghost, it can be said that he had forgotten everything, except for the original body that left him a half-dead body, and the memories and blood were gone.
The reason why I can say it right now is because I suddenly reacted that the scribbled handwriting recorded on the back of the recruitment profile was the code of the joint.
Although I don't know who the connector person in front of me is, and what I will do after the joint, it seems that I can only go one way to the dark for the time being.
Because the woman in front of her stood up excitedly just now, revealing the dagger that was half-constricted in the leather scabbard under the counter, and Sen Han's blade sent a chill down Nie Yuan's back.
It turned out that the previous sense of crisis was not an illusion, and the thing that this woman was pulling under the counter was a Senhan dagger.
So as long as I say the wrong thing, I might have died just now......
What kind of organization are you?
Am I forced to board a thief ship......
