Chapter 44: Beckland
"Mr. Lewis, please help me, someone is chasing me." Cherie bit her lip, she pinched the clothes on Lewis's chest and whispered.
Lewis couldn't help but frown, he was embarrassed by this kind of request, after all, he and Cherie were just customers and dancing girls. Faced with a lady who might get him involved in trouble, he certainly prioritizes his own preservation.
In a flash of inspiration, Lewis pulled a coin out of his pocket and silently recited the divination phrase, "I should help this lady."
"Follow me." The moment he saw the portrait facing upwards, Lewis grabbed Cherry's wrist, led her into the bathroom, and hid it in front of him.
Using the characteristics of the "machine", he can completely cover Cherly's body perfectly, and if the other party is not an extraordinary person who is good at detection, even if he enters the bathroom to check, he will not find it at all.
In addition, Cherie is a Sequence 9 assassin herself, and she is able to disguise herself very well, allowing herself to blend in with her surroundings.
"Hey idiot, have you ever seen a woman? She was thinner and had a gunshot wound to her shoulder. Suddenly, a man of average height, but with an exceptionally strong build, pushed open the door to the bathroom, looked at Lewis, who was washing his hands carefully, and asked.
"I'm not called stupid, and besides, as you can see, I'm the only one in the bathroom." Lewis turned around and replied unhurriedly, glancing down at the pouch at his waist.
There are not many people in the city of Tingen who can legally own a handgun, and the person is likely to be a retired police officer with a high level of service.
The man who was extra strong turned to leave, and Lewis breathed a sigh of relief, it would be better not to have a confrontation, after all, he didn't want to fight a man with a gun.
"Miss Cherry, the other party has left." Lewis said to the lady behind him.
After such a tense and exciting dodge battle, Lewis temporarily suppressed his unquenchable desire, he didn't look at Cherie again, and walked straight towards the bathroom exit.
"Mr. Lewis, I know you're a very powerful transcendent, but why would you want to ruin Miss Triss's ceremony?" Cherie suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Lewis's wrist and asked.
"Do you know what Triss wants to do?" Lewis asked expressionlessly.
Triss wants to curse all those who might report her, which is undoubtedly evil and should be stopped.
Of course, Lewis's main purpose was just to earn some commissions, and by the way, he just ransacked all the family property of a Sequence Seven, but he didn't expect that Sequence Seven to be a little poor.
"Miss Triss just wants to get revenge on those who betrayed her, and besides, she promised me to curse a thug who trafficked in human beings." Cherie bit her lower lip and said with a determined expression.
Lewis sighed, Miss Cherie was not lightly brainwashed by her instigators, but unfortunately he was not good at cracking brainwashing.
"Miss Cherry, I'm not obligated to explain it to you, I hope you understand." Lewis withdrew his hand and left the bathroom.
Looking at Lewis's back, Cherie bit her lip as she took a few steps back, her figure gradually merging with the shadows in the lavatory.
Out of the bathroom, when Lewis sat back in his original position and faced the beautiful young lady like an elf again, his body once again had that unexplained heat.
Lewis finally began to observe the beautiful young lady, and two successive problems of desire made him realize that there must be a secret in the young lady opposite.
With his self-control, it is impossible to trigger his own desires just by seeing the other person beautiful.
"She's also a witch? Sequence 6 or is it above Sequence 6? Lewis guessed as he blinked his right eyelid three times in a row, hoping to see the other party's astral spirit with his psionic vision.
......Suddenly, Lewis gasped, his eyes hurt like pins and needles, and he even had a headache.
This made Lewis realize that he shouldn't just turn on psionics, which is also a dangerous ability in a mysterious world, and if he sees something he shouldn't see, he may die on the spot.
Lowering his head, Lewis no longer looked at the young lady's face, which allowed him not to be swayed by desire.
The night of restraining lust was unusually long, and it was not until the next day, when the steam train pulled into Beckland Station, that Lewis put on his top hat, took his suitcase, and headed out of the station.
Divided diagonally into two parts by the Tasok River, which flows southeast into the estuary, Beckland is connected by the Beckland Bridge and ferries, and is home to more than five million people.
Step out of the train station and you'll be greeted by spired clock towers and Victorian buildings in the distance, where the city glows with both old and modern in the rising sun.
Looking into the distance like this, I can't help but feel the insignificance of a person in the metropolis.
As Lewis moved away from the train station, he suddenly felt someone on the right of his sight, and turned his head to see Cherie just in sight.
"Mr. Lewis, thank you for helping me last night." Cherie thanked her sincerely, presumably pale from blood loss and hunger.
Lewis smiled faintly, he took out a pound of bills from his wallet and gave it to Chery, and said, "Maybe you should find a place to live first, and then think slowly about the days ahead." ”
Without asking too much, Lewis bypassed Cherie and left, and just now, he suddenly had a bold idea: Can you train Cherie to Sequence Six?
After all, Lewis clearly remembered the witch's potion recipes for Sequences Seven and Six.
You must know that under the influence of the primordial witch, there are very few pure women in the upper echelons of the witch sect, most of them are transformed from men, and a female sequence six is really exciting.
"Everyone else is a wife, I'm different, I raise a ......" Lewis hurriedly stopped thinking nonsense, he shook his head, a little regretful.
It's a pity that Miss Sierra is going to be promoted to Sequence Five, which is not good news, and Lewis prefers that all the witches stay in Sequence Six forever.
As he walked, Lewis met a boy who sold newspapers, and he called out to him to buy a copy of today's Beckland Life newspaper for a penny.
In the rental section of the newspaper, Lewis found the news of rentals in the Hilton neighborhood and began to pay attention.
"The rent here is about 18 soles a week, which is barely acceptable. If I open a detective agency here, business shouldn't be too bad, and my life will be guaranteed. ”
Lewis put away the newspaper and headed to the Hilton neighborhood, his immediate priority now was to find a place to live and a stable source of income, so that he could go further and search for the lucky one's potion recipe.
