Chapter 140: Two Guests

In Duncan's perception, Vanna's breath was rapidly approaching the antique shop, and it was not moving straight forward, and there were frequent changes of direction in the middle, and there were abnormal pauses.

What is a judge who has lived in the upper city for a long time suddenly running to the antique shop in the lower city to do? And the trajectory is still so weird?

The moment the aura of the young Deep Sea Inquisitor appeared in his perception, Duncan frowned slightly, and then subconsciously glanced at Shirley.

Is it for Shirley? The Church of the Deep has finally discovered that there is a "summoner" hidden in the city who walks with the Shadow Demon? Or is it coming for yourself? But he is very careful in his actions on weekdays, and there is no horse foot left that can point to the Lost Country, and the original identity of the Sun Cultist of this body is exposed.···· That wouldn't alarm a judge, would it?

The trajectory of the rapid and moving back to the distance was definitely not like a leisurely stroll passing by, but more like it had a strong sense of purpose. Thoughts fluctuated instantly, Duncan quietly glanced at Nina, who was reading a book next to him, and got up and walked to the door of the antique store.

Shirley, who was on the side, noticed his actions and subconsciously followed: "Mr. Duncan? What's going on......"

"Stay in the store." Duncan glanced at Shirley, who should be classified as a "heretic" anyway, and told her to stay where she was, before heading to the door of the store and looking in the direction from which the breath was coming from.

Then he knew why Vanna's breath was approaching so quickly—

People came by car.

A dark gray car powered by a steam machine creaked to a halt in front of the antique shop, and the door opened and two people stepped down from it, one was Vanna, who was still very tall despite changing into regular clothes, and the other was Miss Heidi, a psychiatrist who had a previous relationship.

Duncan: "......"

He reflected on his chaotic and chaotic brain behavior after sensing a breath approaching quickly, and felt that he shouldn't think about everything related to the transcendental, and now he thought that those brief pauses in the approach of Vanna just now should have been waiting for the traffic light......

Then he saw the psychiatrist lady beckoning to him quite energetically, and greeted him happily: "Mr. Duncan! ”

The corners of Duncan's mouth twitched, he knew he was thinking too much when he saw Vana in her regular clothes, but he still deliberately glanced at the inquisitor twice when he greeted him, and expressed his surprise appropriately: "This is ......"

"Ah, surely you recognize it, there is no one in this city who does not know her—our honorable Inquisitor, Miss Vana Wayne," Heidi said with a teasing smile, "but today she is on vacation, so relax—she is my friend, and after hearing about the museum, I have to come and thank her......"

"Friends?" Duncan's surprise this time was a bit real, which was indeed something he didn't expect, "I really didn't expect that you would bring such a big ········"

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say 'big shot,' Mr. Duncan," Vana seemed to have been quietly surveying the antique store manager in front of her from just now, and only then did she smile and speak, her voice slightly hoarse and low, with a hint of magnetism—but for Duncan, it was not the first time he had heard the voice of the Miss Inquisitor, "just think of me as an ordinary guest, as Heidi said, today I am on vacation—I have come today mainly to thank you for your rescue of Heidi in the museum, And by the way, learn about something····· Rest assured, this is not a formal inquiry. ”

Know something?

Duncan's face didn't change much, but he maintained his usual friendly smile, turned sideways and beckoned Ruo two special visitors to enter the store: "Then don't stand at the door, please come in - it just so happens that the store is deserted today, and now it's time to have a lively time." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the antique store, and after entering the door, he first saw Shirley who was probing her brain to pay attention to the movement outside, and rubbed the girl's hair casually: "Calm down later." ”

Shirley was stunned: "What ······· calm down?"

In the next second, she knew why she was calm.

She saw the inquisitor lady who was at the pinnacle of force in the city-state of Purand step in, and the eldest sister, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, walked in front of the little man who was less than 1.6 meters tall, bringing more than just a sense of visual oppression.

Shirley almost subconsciously burst out of the words: "Lie down····· Wow, you're so tall! ”

Vanna subconsciously stopped, glanced at the girl standing next to her, with a strange expression on her face and tense muscles, and nodded friendly: "Hello." ”

"She's Shirley," Duncan said casually, "to help out in my shop, she was there when the museum had an accident before, Miss Heidi should have mentioned it to you." ”

"Are you Shirley?" Vanna nodded, matching the description in her mind with the real person in front of her, "It's indeed a cute little sister."

At this time, Nina, who was reading a book next to the counter, also heard the movement here, and the first thing she saw after running over was also Vanna, who was amazingly tall, and she recognized the famous Miss Inquisitor, and at the same time let out the same exclamation as Shirley.

“······ That's why I don't like to go out with you," Heidi, who hadn't noticed Nina for a long time, finally couldn't help but make a sound, "You attracted all the attention when you went to that station - I'm the main character today, okay?"

"But I don't want to attract people's eyes in this way," Vana said with a blank look at her friend, "I've made myself look as ordinary as possible today." ”

“········ Forget it, I'm used to it. Heidi sighed, then greeted Lena and Xue before taking out the gift she had brought with her and handed it to Duncan.

"I don't know what you like, but you can't visit empty-handed to say thank you, and this is what my father asked me to pass on to you, and he said that someone like you, who has a wide range of knowledge and is interested in history and the occult, should like this."

"It's so polite, it was just a gesture at the time," Duncan politely said, while reaching out to take the gift brought by the other party, it was a wooden box that looked to be some years old, he opened the lid on the spot, but after seeing the contents of the contents, he was a little puzzled, "This is ········"

It was a book, beautifully bound and worth a book, which looked like the best things that a decent scholar of Uptown would keep at home, and on a dark purple hard cover was a line of beautiful floral letters:

City-State and Gods

"This is a book from my father's collection, which is hard to find on the market now—it was written by the great naturalist and theologian Mr. Maldino Victor a century ago," Heidi said with a smile, "a book that describes the historical changes of the city-state era and the influence of various god beliefs, including the Four Noble Gods, on civilized society, and he says you will like it." ”

Duncan silently looked at the fine book in the box, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Of course, I do like it, and thank you on my behalf, Mr. Morris, for your kindness."

After some politeness, some familiarity, and there were no customers today, Duncan simply closed the door of the antique shop, and then used the relatively spacious first floor as a place to entertain guests.

Nina went to bring two chairs, Duncan brewed the best coffee in the store for the two customers, Shirley pretended to tidy up the shelves, but in fact found a corner to reduce her presence, Fanna looked at this ordinary-looking shop with some curiosity, Heidi had already begun to put her "medicine box" on the counter, and said to Nina: "Let's get straight to the point, I heard that you have been plagued by nightmares all this time, and you are often in a trance?" ”

"Ah, it's not a black dream, it's just a continuous strange dream·······" Nina didn't expect Miss Heidi to be so resolute, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "It's just that I always dream that I am standing in a very high place, as if it were a tower, and then I see that several blocks under my feet have been burned to ashes, but nothing terrible appears········"

"Stop," Heidi gestured as she opened the medicine box as she said Lu Kou, "the recurring scenes, the heights, the fires, there are no terrible concrete things, but the frequent visits of the dream itself make the mental exhaustion unrelieved······ Let me see······"

Nina glanced at Heidi's medicine box, and at first glance, she saw the colorful chisel axe and saw and the bottles and cans inside, and immediately shrunk her neck: "That······ Miss Heidi······· Can I leave it without treatment, I don't think I'm in that bad shape······"

Duncan also saw the contents of Heidi's medical kit, and his eyebrows jumped, "Forgive me for the taste—is this really something needed for spiritual healing?" ”

The elegant and gentle lady in front of you is a psychiatrist or a veterinarian?!
