Chapter 18: Can I Ask You for a Dance?

The City of Gold.

After receiving no news for several days, the old housekeeper finally couldn't sit still and came to the door again.

Knocking on the door of room 303, he was greeted by a middle-aged gentleman with a hard face and a beard on his jaw and mouth.

He has some vicissitudes, and the years have left enough marks on his face.

There is also a lingering smell of tar.

"Is Lawyer Edward here?"

The elegant gentleman stepped out of the way, gave way to the door, and replied, "I am, please come into the house." ”

At this moment, the old butler's expression was wonderful.

He tried his best to think about it, and he was sure that the person in front of him was not the person he had seen before.

But for some reason, he couldn't remember what the person looked like before.

"Who are you? Sorry, I was here the other day......"

The old housekeeper asked for the other party's work card, and then told the other party what happened a few days ago.

At this time, the old butler had already realized that he had encountered a liar before.

But what he didn't expect was that the man took the matter down.

"You have already paid five hundred and fifty gold coins, I know about this, you should have met my cousin, please rest assured, he is not a bad person, I took your case."

At this moment, the old butler's expression was even more exciting.

What was anger turned into embarrassment.

The man lit a cigar and asked, "You don't recommend that I smoke a cigarette, do you?" ”

"Please."

"I want to confirm again, the other party wants 10,000 gold coins, and you only want to compensate 100 gold coins, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, leave this case to me, and I will definitely help you win."

Send the old butler away.

Edward stood by the window, looking at the mottled shadows of the trees outside the window, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's funny that someone is pretending to be me."

……

Meanwhile, the town of Cole.

Bai Qi's fingertips flicked a necklace encrusted with gemstones.

The whole story: Bai Qi praised the owner of the necklace and invited him to dance, but he was refused, and then the necklace came to his hand.

This is simply incredible.

What's wrong with that woman?

Under the red moon, the transcript officer Mengmeng, who was standing on the top of the tall building, saw the whole thing in his eyes.

She didn't understand.

According to the teachings of the goddess, after the mission is over, Bai Qi will compensate the other party 10 times the compensation, which will be a large amount.

She couldn't understand why Bai Qi did this.

I couldn't understand why the goddess chose him as her favorite.

Under the street lamp, Bai Qi crossed the street, entered a shop, and bought some snacks.

In the store, there was no sound, and Meng Meng appeared behind Bai Qi.

After Bai Qi found the other party, he didn't show surprise, but asked politely, "What do you want to eat?" I'm in for a treat. ”

The little girl rolled her eyes, took out her money, and bought a few snacks.

"No, you don't."

Bai Qi did not have any emotional fluctuations because of the other party's indifference.

The precious necklace had been put away by him at some point, and at this time he only had a newly bought, hot snack in his hand.

"Is that woman a great sin?"

"I don't know."

"Then why did you attack her just because she rejected you?"

Bai Qi pretended to think about it and replied, "Maybe? ”

"Scum." Making a final comment, the girl didn't say anything more and ate intently.

Bai Qi finished eating the things in his hand and wiped his mouth and fingers.

He bowed to the little girl and asked, "Can I ask you to do a dance?" ”

Meng Meng was stunned for a moment, and replied very firmly: "Can't!" ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly, turned around and left.

What's going on? Could it be that this is the trigger for his abilities?

A pang in my heart.

The girl hurriedly checked her coat pocket to see if she had lost anything.

I was relieved to be sure that everything was there.

"Weirdos."

Out of the snack bar, Bai Qi continued to walk alone in the night.

Meng Meng is agile, climbs a tall building again, and continues to observe condescendingly.

Bai Qi walked on the street, and Meng Meng jumped from building to building.

In the darkness of the night, the two of them walked silently, and walked through several streets like this, until somewhere came the cry of a female voice for help, mixed with the sound of broken wine bottles.

A woman in a red tweed coat and a black beanie is entangled with a drunkard.

The lady tried her best to dodge and pushed the man in front of her away.

The man was foul language, trying to rub his greasy face against the other's body.

Not far behind the two was the back door of a bar.

The two seem to have come out of there.

The tall building looked at this scene angrily.

As a woman, she has an instinctive empathy for the woman who was bullied, and a sense of mission.

If it weren't for Bai Qi being below, she would still have to exercise her duties, she could only watch and not interfere, she would have rushed out to teach that disgusting man a lesson.

But what puzzled her was that Bai Qi was standing not far away, watching the two of them push and shove and do nothing.

What was he waiting for! It's infuriating!

Soon, the man and woman also discovered Bai Qi.

"Help me! I don't know him! ”

The woman pleaded for help to Bai Qi.

The man noticed that Bai Qi also stopped, but the hand holding the other party's wrist did not let go.

"Get out of here!"

Bai Qi didn't make a move, nor did he leave.

Only to the woman: "My help is not free. ”

In the cold wind, the drunken man's face turned red, and his eyes glared at Bai Qi with a little more cruel ferocity, and scolded: "Who do you think you are? ”

As he spoke, he reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a folding knife.

At the sight of the knife, the woman was also frightened, and the moment the man let go of his hand, she stepped away.

Through the street lamp, Bai Qi can see the woman's face clearly.

The mature and bewitching makeup conceals the age, and a pair of flustered eyes can hardly hide the fear in his heart.

Her eyes are dark green, which is a very rare color.

The drunkard opened the folding knife, threw it from his left hand to his right hand, and then threw it back to his left hand, trying to get closer to Bai Qi step by step.

At this time, the woman hiding in the corner suddenly made a certain decision.

She quickly took off her high heels and smashed the man's back of the head with the slender roots.

The drunkard turned out to be good and dodged neatly.

"Bitch, you want to fuck me!"

The drunkard stabbed the woman with a folding knife.

The next moment, the sky was spinning, the drunk man felt his neck being tightened, a strong suffocation hit, he felt that he was dominated by a powerful force, and the whole person flew up uncontrollably and smashed into the iron pillar of the street lamp.

Collapse! A bang.

The world in front of me was dark, and even the light of the street lamps was invisible.

The drunk loses consciousness.

Look at the man who is limp under the street lamp.

The woman had almost forgotten to breathe, and her mind was blank.

After a while, he finally spit out a sentence with difficulty, "Is he dead?" ”

"Alive."

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you." ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to the woman, and invited, "Can I ask you to do a dance?" ”

Under the street lamp, Bai Qi smiled warmly.

That ordinary face is not handsome, but it feels very pleasing to the eye.

The woman hurriedly put on her shoes, and then put her hand on Bai Qi's hand.

There is no music, and under the street lamp, the two dance simple steps.

Time is incomparably tranquil in this moment.

"That's what you want?"

Bai Qi didn't answer and asked, "Are you satisfied with your current life?" If so, would you like to change your lifestyle? ”

"What kind of lifestyle?"

"It's thrilling, it's crazy, it's fun, no one can guarantee your safety, but scum like this can't threaten you anymore."

"Sounds interesting." The temperature transmitted between the fingers makes the woman reveal a bit of charm, and her body is closer, and she even wants to dominate the form of dance.

Bai Qi looked as usual, and pulled back the woman who had slipped out of her body.

In an extremely plain tone, he asked, "Then are you willing to follow me?" ”

"Yes." At this moment, the ignorant girl does not yet know the weight of this sentence.

She thought it was just a love story between handsome men and beautiful women on the scene.

As everyone knows, the craziest organization in the world is opening its doors to her.

Bai Qi magically put the necklace he had obtained from the noble lady on the woman's neck.

Don't wait for the woman to thank and praise.

In an elven language that pries the rules, he recited: "The Lord of Scarlet, who sits above the red moon, the goddess of the moon, who wields the authority of darkness, your humble benefactor prays to you that the divine substance attached to this necklace may be transferred to this lady and that she may become your follower." ”

Dots of light spilled out of the gemstone necklace like fluttering fireflies.

The two danced without stopping.

To be precise, Bai Qi did not stop, he led the other party to dance.

And the lady, seeing the points of light around her, showed a girlish pure surprise color.

On the tall building, the transcript officer Mengmeng was already stupid.

She witnessed a miracle! She felt the breath of the goddess descending here!

What happened?

Figures appeared beside her.

They wear the coat of arms of the Red Moon Church in front of them.

Meng Meng saw the other party, but the other party didn't look at her, knelt down on one knee with a reverent expression, and saluted to the place where the miracle came.

"Sleep, from tomorrow onwards, your life will turn to a new chapter."

Bai Qi's words seemed to have some kind of magic.

The girl slowly closed her eyes, collapsed limply, and fell asleep.

Bai Qi slowly placed it on the side of the road.

"I'll leave it to you next, and I'll give this back to the original owner."

At some point, the jewel necklace had been taken off.

The necklace flicked on Bai Qi's fingertips and threw it into the air.

A figure caught it.
