Chapter 65: Transit Station and Foothold! (Ask for follow-up ~ ask for support ~)

Arthur's face instantly flashed with joy.

According to his agreement with Wiggins, Wiggins would only return to 2 Kirk Street when he found the whereabouts of the toad.

And Wiggins, who was born on the street, is definitely not a person who makes a fuss.

So, did Wiggins find the toad?

Arthur opened the door with anticipation.

And Wiggins did not live up to that expectation-

"Good afternoon, Mr. Credos."

"Are you going out?"

Wiggins' greeting with a smile confirms that the street finger has good news for him.

Suddenly, Arthur's slightly depressed mood became better.

"Of course!"

"Because 'Anna' told me you're coming!"

Arthur, who was in a better mood, joked.

But Wiggins couldn't laugh at the horror doll in Arthur's arms.

He always felt that the doll's eyes were looking at him.

Immediately, the hairs on Wiggins' back stood on end.

Twisting his body uneasily, without any hesitation, the goldfinger from the street said directly.

"You asked me to find it, and the man's whereabouts have been found."

"Please follow me!"

With that, Wiggins immediately turned around and led the way.

This goldfinger really doesn't want to look directly at 'Anna'.

Moreover, even with his back to Anna at the moment, he felt uncomfortable.

To dispel the anomaly, Wiggins immediately continued.

"That guy is far more cunning than we thought, not only has two landing points, but also multiple identities!

That guy used multiple identities to shuttle through South Los and I wouldn't have been able to find his whereabouts if he hadn't set up a transit station on the outskirts of Mouse Street and happened to be seen by one of my men! ”

Wiggins led Arthur towards the toad's foothold.

Arthur was not surprised that the other party set up a transfer station on the outskirts of Mouse Street.

The chaotic place of Rat Street is really a natural shelter for people like toads.

As for being a transit station, not a foothold?

The chaos of Rat Street is true for the trackers, as well as for the occupants, which means that the toad should have something important on it, except for safety reasons!

The other party was not worried about putting these important items in Mouse Street, so he found another place to stay.

Thinking of this, Arthur's heart became excited.

He quickened his pace, but he hadn't forgotten to glance at the place where he had thrown the cake before.

There are no dead rats.

Not bad.

But Arthur decided to wait.

Check again when you get back.

Following Wiggins, Arthur crossed Dahl Alley, stopped a public carriage on Sicico Remnant Road, and headed straight for Mule Street.

This time it was good luck, there were only Wiggins and Arthur in the public carriage.

When, after half an hour of bumpy rides, Wiggins breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at his destination.

The last trip to the public carriage made a deep impression on the Goldfinger, and he was afraid that something would happen to him - with Scott's publicity, the Goldfinger also knew that the 'psychic medium' would always be troubled to find him.

In fact, if he weren't poor, he would never have worn his current shoes again.

"This way!"

Wiggins took Arthur down the narrow and uneven streets, turning a corner and pointing to a low house on Mule Street.

The house is not big from the outside, only two fists wider than the door, narrow like a corridor, the whole house is a brick and stone structure, the roof is wooden, there are no courtyard walls, and there are no windows, directly facing this path.

Arthur even suspected that the original location of the house was the real yard.

Unlike Dal Lane, where wealthy civilians lived, Mule Street was a gathering place for the commoners of the Duo District.

Most of the inhabitants are outsiders, living on the factories of the Duo District, without owning many properties, and most of the houses are rented in small cubicles divided by a large house.

Even, the cubicles themselves are patchwork of wooden planks.

After working day and night, they get a meager salary to maintain the basic household and save money.

Because, most of them have dreams.

Dreaming of buying a house of his own in South Los.

However, the vast majority of people will not be able to fulfill this dream until the day of their death.

Then, with death, they are soon forgotten.

Because, more people poured into South Los again, took up their previous posts, and repeated their lives and ...... Dream.

Arthur looked at the streets full of despair and hope in front of him, shook his head slightly, and motioned for Wiggins to stand sentry.

He walked briskly to the low house—although it was daytime and the residents had already gone out for work, there was no chance of accidents.

The door was closed, unlocked, but it was blocked from the inside.

Mule Street is very poor, but there are still goldfinger sliding doors to pick locks, and the toad made this simple arrangement for the sake of unnecessary trouble.

At least, this arrangement makes most of the gold fingers not come to the test.

But there are drawbacks.

After not falling into the lock for a long time, and falling into the eyes of those who have a heart, all this becomes too suspicious.

In fact, Wiggins relied on this to quickly lock down here.

Arthur glanced around, and when he noticed that there was a chimney on the roof, he blurted out unfamiliar syllables.

“Ei a!”

Two Hands of Nothingness flew straight into the chimney, burrowed into the house, and opened the secret lock in the door for Arthur, a latch made of square wood.

Subsequently—

Squeak!

The door is open!

And this scene startled Wiggins.

Although he was a sentry, Wiggins always focused part of his attention on Arthur, and when he saw Arthur chant a spell and the door opened automatically, the whole person began to doubt life.

Wiggins never doubted Arthur's abilities.

There is no doubt about Arthur's identity as a 'psychic medium'.

But was Arthur too omnipotent?

He had been waiting for Arthur to ask him to open the door.

You know, he's the No. 1 Goldfinger in the Shire!

He can open any kind of door and safe, but it is definitely not as easy as Arthur, he only needs to recite a spell.

Can I learn such a spell?' ’

Such a thought suddenly rose from the bottom of Wiggins's heart.

In an instant, the golden finger shook his head and completely threw this thought out of his mind.

He has heard many people say that 'mystery brings misfortune', and one of the guys who said such things was his teacher.

A guy who has no legs, no right hand, and only a little finger left in his left hand, but he can still pick locks with his tongue.

The other party said that the reason why he became like this is because he was contaminated with 'mystery'.

Wiggins didn't want to be like this.

Therefore, instead of paying attention to Arthur, he began to devote himself to the work of sentry.

Arthur, on the other hand, did not pay attention to Wiggins' mental activity.

He looked intently at the house in front of him.

Who can guarantee that the toad will not set a trap in it?

The house was a little wider than it looked from the outside, but it was still limited, and anyone who walked into it had to turn sideways after a bed, a cupboard, and a stove.

Undoubtedly, this is a house that would seem crowded even if only one person lives.

Arthur's gaze stayed on the cabinet for a second, and then the two [Hands of Nothingness] began to test in all directions.

Within the range of Arthur's maximum distance, the left and right [Hands of Nothingness] tapped and tested little by little.

Sou!

Just as a [Void Hand] touched a piece of floor about two meters in front of the door, the sound of a bowstring suddenly sounded.

A crossbow bolt shot out from the blind spot above the door.

With such great force, the bolt pierced the floor and triggered the next trap.

Sou!

Another bolt shot from the blind spot above the door.

Due to the different angles, the bolt is fired further inward.

If the dodge dodges forward, he will be hit by an arrow.

Since the forward is calculated, the opponent will definitely calculate the backward dodge!

Arthur didn't think about it, so he pulled away and dodged to the side.

Just as Arthur finished dodging, a crossbow bolt hidden under the bedding on the bed was fired.

Whoosh, smack!

The bolt pierced the ground in front of Arthur's eyes.

This scene made Wiggins's heart tremble.

The golden finger swallowed his saliva, moistened his dry throat, and his attention became more and more focused - he had discovered that this job was more dangerous than he had imagined!

After glancing at Wiggins, who was on his guard, Arthur continued to let the Void Hand explore the room.

After a few minutes, the entire room was explored, and only the cabinet remained.

When the two Hands of Nothingness opened the cabinet door.

Not surprisingly, another crossbow bolt.

The arrow pierced the wooden wall opposite, sinking most of it, bringing up a large cloud of dust and falling.

Arthur immediately covered his mouth and nose and retreated a few meters, until all the dust had fallen and there was nothing unusual, and then he manipulated the two [Hands of Nothingness] to take out the only thing in the cabinet.

It was a rattan box, a bit heavy, and it was difficult to hold one [Void Hand], and it was reasonable to need two [Void Hands].

However, the moment the two [Hands of Nothingness] combined to pick up the box, Arthur's face changed.

He could clearly feel that something was being ripped off under the box!
