Chapter 18: Street Rats

These days, the police have been running around regardless of their physical strength, but they still picked up girls' coats and earrings on the ground, plus the footprints that broke halfway through, and some girls were still arrested.

The police were very anxious and hardly slept to deal with the matter, but there was no progress. The policemen on the side of the road looked more and more like uniformed zombies, trying to discern with a pair of eyes that they couldn't open to tell whether the girls on the road were really adults or looked old with super heavy makeup. Monsters seem to have their own way of doing things, and they never catch adults by mistake.

Seren's senses are sharper. He was on a night patrol with the police yesterday when he felt something pass over his head. He chased in that direction and heard the monster's scream, but he didn't see the monster. When he arrived, he found only a downed street lamp, the footprints of a few monsters, and a row of shoeed footprints that stretched all the way to the house where Rick worked. Seren felt that the person who left the footprints seemed to be about the same height and weight as Rick, but he didn't think Rick would be a prisoner. Anyway, someone came across a monster here, and the monster didn't kill the man, and the man went to where Rick worked. It is reasonable to infer that the house had something to do with it. So Serian reported to the local administration to repair the street lights, and then asked the police to come and collect evidence, and sent someone to monitor the house where Xike worked.

Tomorrow is a holiday, and there are a lot of girls running around the streets tonight, and the police force is simply not enough. That night, Seren joined the police patrol.

He also spotted a girl hiding behind a sign to peek at them, so he chased after them, and the girl ran away.

Serene really couldn't understand that they could run wildly in the snow in shoes that should have difficulty even walking. He didn't understand that he was going to chase girls here in the middle of the night. Obviously there is an announcement, and the threat to life is also real, but there are still people who think that they will not run into it, or do not consider the possibility of encountering it at all, and still go out when they want?

The girl in front of her suddenly stopped, so she slipped suddenly, and she screamed into the sky. Without even thinking about it, he swung his sword and slashed at the black shadow that fell from the sky.

The shadow grabbed the wall with one hand, pulled its body against it, dodged Seren's sword, and then climbed onto the roof and fled. The black shadow was holding an object in his hand, but because he was in a hurry to dodge, he reluctantly changed the relationship between the direction of travel, and the thing fell to the ground and fell into the snow.

The girl who had been chasing Seren trembled, and glanced into the snow cave caused by the fall of the thing, and then fainted with a wide eye in the eyes.

Seren stepped forward and saw a young girl lying in a snow cave. Her back is to the sky, but her face is also to the sky. There was no trace of life in the half-closed eyes, and the two pupils were facing different directions.

About forty minutes later, the sheriff informed everyone that the police who had been in ambush outside Syck's place of work had witnessed the beast hiding in the room.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Because of his sleep last night, Xi Ke slept until it was time to eat Chinese food before getting up.

He went downstairs and found that the atmosphere in the room was different from usual. At this time, some people go to eat Chinese food first, while others wait until they eat, and they are responsible for finishing up the morning's work. In any case, although you can see some people showing the expressions of their breaks, and some people walking around seriously, on the whole, they are very orderly, and everyone knows what they should do now. Today, Xi Ke saw a lot of people throwing their work behind, and it didn't look like they were resting, nervously talking to each other, and only after asking did they know that the police had come to the door.

The servant said that the local police chief was questioning Hana in her external office, and that a whole group of servants put their ears to the door but could not hear anything. Sick thought about it, and they probably walked past the external office and into Hanna's private lounge.

Out of curiosity, Nick entered the studio and found that everything had been touched by the police, the jar labels on the shelves were no longer facing the outside, and the neatly arranged tools in the drawers had become a little messy. The test strips were unpacked from the pouches. Rick tidied up some of it, left some untidied up, and then put his ear to the door to eavesdrop on the conversation.

He overhears a conversation between Hana and the police chief, and they are indeed in Hana's private lounge. Nick eavesdropped just in time for the conversation on the other side of the door to reach its climax. The police chief asks Hana what she does at night, and Hana cries and says she has nothing to do with monsters.

"Sixteen people have gone missing since last year, four people went missing last night alone, and there is a corpse, don't you feel guilty if you are still avoiding the question?"

Xike's mouth opened slightly. The number of missing people was more serious than he knew, and there were as many as four people last night, and that monster caught too many people last night to make its prey scream?

Hana's cries kept going. She didn't answer any questions from the police at all, including the status of her spell materials, the spell energy around here. Because of Naimo's intelligence, the sheriff had caught her buying large equipment, but she completely refused to cooperate with the case, she just used an ugly voice and slurred speech, like a pig to say: "Woo! Lunga is not noon Shalun! You bend the sun to me! Gou! Vomit to dodge the feet of the carry, vomit and mother are all squeaked!"

"The monster has entered this room, who else but you can make something like that?"

Hana continued to slurred her words, "Yes! I have two assistants, they must have done it! I can't keep an eye on them all day to prevent them from using evil spells, God knows what they are doing behind my back?"

"They're just assistants, how can they know such advanced spells!" The police chief didn't accept Hanna's statement: "I know this kind of spell is difficult, and it is impossible for a mere assistant to create a magical beast!"

Rick agrees with the phrase "This spell is difficult" and disagrees with the paragraph that follows "just an assistant". However, now it is the most haode that the police chief can maintain this state of not eating the fireworks of the mage world.

Hana continued to cry, "I'm just a little mage who keeps to himself, living on a little money, and all I ask for is to starve to death. Aren't the police supposed to protect the little people? Weishenme, you don't protect me? I'm scared too! That monster catches women, and I'm a woman too! I'm also dangerous, I can't eat every day, I'm afraid that the monster won't know when it will break in and arrest me—"

Although I don't know if it was caused by heavy makeup, it is obvious that the girls who were arrested were quite haode. Syk was eager to see what the police chief's face was when he heard Hana say that.

Hana continued to cry and said, "Those two assistants are both men! They look at me as if I have no clothes on, and they have disgusting eyes that are thinking something in their hearts, don't you think it's terrifying? I'm a woman, women are the weaker party in crime, you can see for yourself what the experts say, of course this kind of violent crime is only done by men, how can I be related!"

Fortunately, the police chief did not agree with Hannah's sexist remarks: "You are wrong, I have seen women who are more vicious than men, and who are willing to help others hurt their own same-sex people. What's more, you are a mage, and women have the value of studying materials for you!"

"It's too much to accuse innocent people like this!"

"You'd better cooperate, or else—" The police chief said in a low voice.

At this time, Xi Ke heard the sound of the door opening, and the voice of Miss Gino II: "Hello, Director. 」

The police chief said, "Hello, I'm going to borrow your family mage for a while. 」

"Love to borrow as long as you want. I'm looking for her assistant. Gino said.

Rick hurried out of the door and ran to tidy up his things.

Gino opens the door that connects the studio to the lounge. She wore a white fox fur coat and eye makeup that sharpened her eyes, looking noble and powerful. She looked around the room before Zuihou fixed her eyes on Xi Ke and said, "Mother needs your help. Bring the herb packet and follow me. She shook her head, motioning for Rick to follow.

Rick craned his neck and followed her, walking through the break room. In front of the police chief, who is as strong as a bull, and Hana, who speaks like a pig, Xike follows Gino, who is as majestic as a tiger, and walks out. Thinking about what he was, he initially thought of dogs, but after walking a few steps, it dawned on him that he had the right answer.

He's a street rat.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Gino led him straight to the third floor, and when he thought of the time, he pleaded in a desperate tone, "Miss Gino, it's time for me to eat. The kitchen is open for a limited number of hours, after which he can only eat the food stock.

"There's a banquet in the afternoon, and I'll let you attend as a guest, so you can eat as much as you want. Gino didn't reply.

"Deal. Rick replied immediately.

This was the second time he had gone up to the third floor, and he still didn't feel used to it. Maybe it's because he can't accept such a place, and it's in the same house as him and Xiao Horn's room.

Gino led Vic to the door of Lady Yulan's room.

Sick thought it wasn't a door, but a decorative wall, until Gino reached for the doorknob and realized it was a door.

Mrs. Yulan's door was covered with lace and fake flowers, and the large clumps flooded the door panels. The doorknob was also covered with a cloth and lace cover. When the door opened, there was a space full of fake flowers behind the door, and a sweet smell of perfume wafted out. This smell was something that Rick had ever smelled from the only non-fiction book he had on Hana's bookshelf, "The Shackles of the Skirt."

Everything in the room has a strong shape. For example, the table is shaped like a bouquet of flowers, the chair is shaped like a snail, the bedpost is an elf holding a lily of the valley flower, and there are many carvings of small squirrels and rabbits standing on the cabinet. If you just put one or two in the house, this kind of decoration is quite good, and it can make the room much more lively, but here the whole room is full of this kind of thing, every piece of furniture is in the shape of some kind of creature, and the furniture is full of dolls, and the table top is barely visible, let alone used for writing or reading. The room doesn't look lively, but rather like an overturned toy box, which is both out of control and oppressive.

And Mrs. Youlan is the child who lies in the middle of the toys on the floor, unwilling to clean up. She was lying on a bed with a pink gauze tent, which was covered with cloth dwarf dolls. Mrs. Yolan is dressed in an exotic princess style with plenty of folded pajamas.

Far more maids than needed surrounded her. These people had never been seen before. They weren't from the two-ponytailed maids, and they weren't the ones Varu and Gino would go to when they needed someone, they were all Lady Yulan's own servants. They were all dressed in high heels and had a haughty expression that reminded him of a barking dog that had been indulged by his master. Since there were so many of them, most of them were just tasked with being just ornaments like dolls on the table.

"Mother, I brought people here. Gino said to Mrs. Yulan.

"Ah, Mr. Assistant. Usually when she is lying down, she doesn't inhale heavily, but she inhales so much that she has to stand up and exhale slowly, showing a very emotional appearance. She raised her hand to Rick, who was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was asking him to kiss the back of her hand, which Tick clumsily complied.

When Syk met Lady Yulan before, the scene was very dramatic, and this was the first time that Syk saw Lady Youlan in her daily life. Nick discovers that Mrs. Yolan is a person who usually lives in theater. She looked at Syk not so much at the person in front of her, but at some very distant place, perhaps she was looking at the script she had written in the sky.

"Well, I'm a little unwell, can you help me take a look? I heard you saved my heart. They all said you did a good job. Mrs. Yolan said.

Gino looked at Rick as he didn't know how to respond, and added, "Our family physician said that you gave my sister the right medicine. 」

Rick nodded. It was a comment that made him happy, but he still didn't know what to do in front of him. He slowly pulled down Lady Yulan's sleeve, probing her pulse, and watching to see if she would give him a sudden slap.

Rick's slow motion seemed to amuse Lady Yulan, and she smiled.

Rick immediately found the reason - poison again. Mrs. Youlan's stomach collapsed. This situation made Syk think of sweet stamen, and ingesting a small amount would have such consequences. Rick often heard of women who drank potions for the sake of eternal youth, and as a result, turned themselves into mummies that would never change over time, which did little to help her beauty in life.

Xi Ke opened the herb bag and began to dispense the medicine. While he was busy, Lady Yulan said in an ethereal, ethereal voice, as if talking to herself, "Xiexie, you saved my heart. 」

"You're welcome. Rick was busy, and he didn't even raise his head. That business earned him twenty-four silver coins, and made him fall in love with Varu, who he always welcomed to his help. However, he has a feeling for Mrs. Youlan, in Mrs. Youlan's shijie, there should be no use of other people's things to be rewarded with money, this concept is full of copper smell. She should regard the medicine offered by Xi Ke as a gift of love for her, and use it for free without any heart.

Lady Yulan continued to mutter to herself, "Ever since my little goblin left, my health has gotten worse and worse. Oh, you say, am I sick of heartbreak?" she pointed to Gino and said, "It's all this little monster, and she's jealous of her beautiful sister, so she kicked her out. My little liver, where are you now, are you enduring the ravages of the wind and snow, and relying on the snow to satisfy your hunger?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Yulan yelled at Gino, "You let me out, I don't want to see you little monster!"

Gino flattened his mouth, shook his head, and walked out of the room.

Nick had a vague sense that Lino's departure would be good for Gino. Only their two daughters can be heirs here, and when Lino withdraws, all the family property will be Gino's. The only thing she does not have as good as Rino is finding a good husband, and Rick doesn't think it's difficult for Gino. Although this matter is beneficial to Gino, Mrs. Yulan is an exaggeration to say that she is "kicked out". Gino is just helping Lino fulfill his wishes. Leaving here with Varu would definitely be good for Lino. Rick has never had a problem with a win-win situation.

"Oh—without my care, she would have been sick and weak, and without me, in such a snowstorm—" Lady Yulan lamented continuously.

Rick frowned. The other men didn't know that it was absolutely impossible for Varu to let Lino sleep in the open.

"Weishenme, she will fall for such a scheme, and follow the man to leave me, does she have to be a man, what can I do to get her back?" Lady Yulan choked up.

Syk really wanted to tell her that leaving was a haode for Lino, but he knew it would be better to keep his mouth shut.

The medicine is ready. Rick wrapped the pill in a paper and handed it to the maid, "Take one every two hours with boiled water. The cost is to—"

"Xiexie, you. The maid said with a standard smile that could be used to make a mask.

"Fee—"

"Xiexie, you. 」

"Material cost-" Xi Ke tried again, the labor of dispensing medicine and the knowledge he had accumulated over a long period of time did not charge him, at least the cost of materials should be given to him.

The maid smiled invinciblely and said, "Thank you very much for your concern for Madame, Madame will definitely get better with your enthusiastic help. 」

Countless expletives flashed through Xi Ke's heart, and he sat down on the chair next to the bed, shook Mrs. Yulan's hand, and said, "Madam, please take care of your jade body. 」

"Xiexie, you care, but unfortunately I don't have the strength to sit up and thank you. Mrs. Yolan replied weakly. Since she came in, she had become weaker and weaker, and now she looked like she was about to die. Syk was well aware that her illness was far from death.

"You are everyone's sun, and in such cold weather, only you can warm everyone's hearts. Without you, everyone feels that their home has become dark, like a tomb. Ah, I don't want to make you feel sorry for you by saying this, I definitely don't want to put you under any heavier burden, but we all look forward to your speedy recovery. Even when you are sick, the smile you give me is so beautiful, and if I can see you healthy, it will definitely become a glorious memory of my life. With all his acting skills, and with the most sincere eyes he could do, he tried to imagine Mrs. Yulan as the great dog with whom he had allowed him to hide under the bridge and lean against him for warmth when he had slept on the streets on cold nights.

"You're so sweet. What a good boy. Lady Yulan called a maid, "Bring me my brooch." The brooch that the maid had brought was a silver pedestal with seven gems the size of green beans. She shoved the brooch into Rick's hand and said, "Here's for you. When you look at it, please think that I am by your side, and don't be sad that I can't show up in person. 」

"Thank you so much, ma'am. Rick kissed the brooch and placed it in a pocket close to his heart: "Whenever I see it, my heart sunk in darkness is comforted. Now, please allow me to retire. My duties bind me so much that I could not stay here forever. 」

"I hope you won't be heartbroken. Mrs. Yolan said.

Rick was tempted to say, "Absolutely not," but he said, "Yes, but it's a pain I have to bear." Goodbye, ma'am. Hope to see your smile in the sun next time. 」

Then he walked out of the room and closed the door. Gino had been standing by the door since she had gone out, and she now frowned and said to Rick, "Thank you. 」

"yes. Nick didn't refute either.

"This is for you as medical expenses, she didn't pay for it, did she?" Gino stuffed a gold coin to Xi Ke, and of course Xi Ke accepted it without change.

Seeing the strange expression on Rick's face, Gino asked, "Is it enough? 」

"Enough, enough!" Rick nodded busily as he stuffed the gold into his bag. He couldn't say that he had already paid for the medicine by any other means.

"Well, it's none of your business. Gino nodded, then opened the door again and entered Lady Yulan's room.

Immediately Syk heard Lady Yulan's screams pierce through the door, "You have taken my heart, what else do you want to do to me? How can you stop me from going to my little goblin? How dare you hide her whereabouts, did you detain her and abuse her?"

It's none of Nick's business. Nick took out the brooch, looked at it carefully to make sure it was genuine, put it away, and went downstairs.

I tried my best to dispense medicine and ended up losing money, and I earned this thing by saying a few nice words. Rick is beginning to understand why some people would abandon the boring work of accumulating ink in their stomachs and run away to accumulate antecedents.
