The Tale of the Kraken
Chapter 46 Being targeted?
Chapter 46 Being targeted?
Several days had passed since the battle in the warehouse in the west of the city, and Yue Bing's body was much better in the various panaceas collected by the Xingmen sect.
It's just that Chi Dun was hit with an axe, even a cultivator is still a mortal body, so although he can get out of bed and walk around, his recovery speed is far behind that of Yue Bing who is a monster.
So in the ice cream shop, the proprietress took care of the employees instead.
"Xue'er, I want to eat mango pudding..." Yuan Mu lay on the table by the French window, wailing at Xue'er at the cash register.
"If you want to eat, go get it yourself! You are mourning!"
Chacha, who heard Yuan Mu talking as soon as he entered the door, shook his red hair and said mockingly, "Did you break your arm or your foot!?"
"I didn't call you! Why are you excited!" Yuan Mu retorted not to be outdone.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Yang Yang came out of the pastry room with a plate of mango pudding, put it on Yuan Mu's table, and said, "Here, mango pudding, 18 yuan, thank you."
Yuan Mu glanced at the mango pudding and then at Yang Yang, took out a card from his pocket and put it on the table while still lying on the table, glanced at Chacha provocatively, and said: "Here, take it , Swipe casually! I’m not like some people who like to eat for free and never give money!”
"Who are you talking about!" Chacha raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and sneered, "You think everyone is like you, only the word Kaizi is written on your face!"
Yang Yang looked helplessly at the two people who had pinched each other when they met, picked up the card on the table, turned around and saw Michelle standing in the cashier looking at him with a smile, and walked quickly to the cashier.
As for those two people who love to fight, let them go. During the time they get along, he has gradually gotten used to the way they get along.
He took the card and walked to the cashier. Michelle took a look at the card, looked up at him with a smile and said, "We don't have a credit card machine in the store yet."
The girl's eyes were full of mischievous light, she looked at Yuan Mu who was still pinching Chacha, and said mischievously: "Brother Yang, please go and talk to the guests again,
We only accept cash. "
"...Okay." Yang Yang looked at the smiling person, then turned his head to look at the two people who were still fighting, silently took the card from Michelle's hand, turned and walked towards the two.
The back view has a tragic feeling of "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone".
Michelle finally couldn't help laughing: "Sister Chacha, come quickly! I made your favorite chestnut cake today, come over and try it!"
"Okay!" Chacha turned her head in response, cast a disdainful glance at Yuan Mu who was still lying on the table, and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you, Xueer asked me to eat cake!"
That way, it seems that being called to eat cake by Michelle is something worth showing off.
Yang Yang and Chacha passed by, walked to the table and put down the card, and said, "My guest, this shop only accepts cash."
"Hehe." Chacha sneered in a moderate way, just at a volume that the two of them could hear.
Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows and straightened up from the table, Yang Yang subconsciously took a step back, thinking: Fuck, these two guys are really going to fight here, right? !
Before he could run back and drag Michelle to escape, he heard the wind chimes at the door ring.
Walking in was a woman in a voluptuous cheongsam. She squinted her phoenix eyes and scanned around the shop, walking straight towards Yang Yang.
Yuan Mu stood up, took two steps forward, walked in front of the woman, blocked her hand that was reaching out to Yang Yang, and said with a casual smile, "Sister Yuan, what wind brought you here?"
"Heh... what do you think?" Hong Yuan raised her eyebrows, she seemed a little surprised by Yuan Mu's action of blocking Yang Yang, but she sat down as if nothing had happened, smiled coquettishly at the two of them, and turned her head towards Yang Yang. Michelle said in the direction: "Xueer, I want a cup of rose tea."
"Okay, sister Hong Yuan, wait a minute, come right away." Michelle replied sweetly, and turned to make tea.
Hong Yuan watched Xue'er disappear into the operating room, then turned her head to look at Yuan Mu and raised her chin and said, "Sit down, do you still want me to invite you?"
As he said that, he glanced at Yang Yang who was standing blankly beside him: "The vice-captain has sat down, does the captain want me to stand up and pull the chair for you?"
"Ah?!" Yang Yang couldn't react, he didn't realize until he saw the smile on the corner of Yuan Mu's mouth, he was the "captain" of this secret mission team.
Not to mention that this secret mission was no longer a secret, his so-called captain was really useless at all.
It wasn't him who directed, it wasn't him who made plans, it wasn't even him who fought.Compared with the captain, Yang Yang felt that he was more like an errand runner.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all. He glanced at the two of them, pulled out his chair and sat down.
"Sister Yuan said that there is news about Lu Fu?"
"I don't know if it's his news." Hong Yuanyan tapped the table with her red nails, "Since I promised to help you, of course I won't count my words. A few days ago, my people came to report that, Some people are buying materials for making magical instruments in the black sun."
"Black sun?" Yang Yang repeated the new term.
"The largest underground trading market in our city is just a small branch." Hong Yuan explained with a smile.
What she didn't say is that because of these big monsters living in this city, the black sun here is about to become the largest black market in the world.
"Oh." Yang Yang nodded to express his understanding, then turned his head to look at Yuan Mu and said, "I said, Lu Ax made counterfeit magic weapons, right?"
"What counterfeit! It's a fake! It's a fake!" Yuan Mu corrected, and then he looked at Hong Yuan and asked, "Have you found a buyer yet?"
"No." Speaking of this, Hong Yuan frowned, "That group of people are too vigilant, my people can't get close at all, and we don't know the specific situation yet, and we don't want to get too close to scare the snake."
Yuan Mu nodded to show his understanding, at this moment Michelle brought up the rose tea, and after some gossip, Hong Yuan got up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Hong Yuan turned her head and said to Yuan Mu: "The next black day will be this Saturday. You can come and see if you have met that buyer. After all, with your many years of collecting experience, you might be able to compete with my buyer." What can you see."
"Okay, please trouble sister Yuan." Yuan Mu said and winked at Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan acted as if she didn't see it, she shook her head with a smile, and when Yuan Mu wasn't paying attention, she touched Yang Yang's face and turned away.
Until Hong Yuan walked away, Yang Yang could still smell the mysterious fragrance from Hong Yuan's body.
Yuan Mu, however, seemed to have seen something interesting, looked at the direction Hong Yuan was leaving, then turned to look at Yang Yang, turned his head and entered the magic dessert with a smile.
Yang Yang followed in in a daze, and saw Chacha passing by with a cake plate on his face, and leaned aside in disgust.
Yang Yang looked at Yuan Mu puzzled, and the latter approached him and said in an inaudible voice, "Snakes and birds have never been easy to deal with since ancient times."
Yang Yang thought of the legends about love and hatred between monsters that he had heard since he was a child, and suddenly realized.
On the night of the third day after Hong Yuan left, the door of the Magic Dim Sum shop was closed, and from the outside, only the dim lights in the lounge next to the operating room could be vaguely seen.
A few black shadows moved quickly against the wall, and they came to the door of the store in a short while. The black shadows paused for a while, and made a series of small voices, as if they were discussing something, and then walked along the gap in the store door. Dive into the Magic Snack.
Outside the window, the halo formed a reddish circle around the moon.Everything was so peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
Until the last black shadow entered the shop, the wind chime hanging outside the shop suddenly turned itself without wind, making a crisp and hasty sound.
A few black shadows found that something was wrong, and wanted to return from the original road. At this moment, the lights suddenly brightened, and Yang Yang stood beside the switch, holding in one hand a string of Zen beads that Yuan Musai gave him just now.
Watching several black shadows quickly atomize at a speed visible to the human eye, and then slowly disappear in place.
"Hmph! Want to run?" Yuan Mu sneered at this time, jumped up high, and slapped his palm on the floor, a silver-white halo spread around him, and quickly surrounded the house. Small storefront.It's like coating the whole magic snack with a silver halo.
As the halo swept across, the black shadow that had just disappeared slowly gathered into shape again. They gathered in the corner, seeming to be very afraid of Yuan Mu, huddled together and chirping as if talking about something.
"I was just hungry and came to Xue'er in the middle of the night to find something to eat. You should have done a divination before you came. It's really unlucky." Yuan Mu said, not paying attention to their explanation.
Just raising his hand slightly, the halo that had just spread to the entire store quickly gathered towards the shadows, and finally formed a silver ball that surrounded the shadows, and then slowly shrunk.
The black shadow touched by the halo is like water dripping on a red-hot iron plate, quickly atomized, while the halo ball shrinks rapidly without being affected, and finally turns silver, down to only a dime When it was the size of a coin, it was lightly tapped by Yuan Mu, and then disappeared into the air.
It took only 3 minutes from the beginning to the end of all this. After everything was settled, Yang Yang came back to his senses.He pointed to the place where the shadows were just now, and stammered, "One...one eye!"
"Yes, everything in the ghost country has one eye." Yuan Mu responded with a smile and walked towards the door.
"The eyes... Are the eyes erect?" Yang Yang still couldn't digest it.
"En, vertical pupils." Yuan Mu nodded, stretched out his hand to touch the wind chime at the door, turned to look at Yang Yang and said, "Sock, have you heard of it?"
"Socks? Socks?" Yang Yang said, suddenly remembered something, he was obviously wearing glasses just now!Why are you seeing those!
"What socks! Socks are an ancient ghost with a human body, a black head, and vertical pupils. Because they belong to the ghost kingdom, they only have one eye."
"But... I just..." The one who obviously wears glasses!He was just about to open his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by Yuan Mu.
"Socks are ghosts, and the behavior of ghosts is different from monsters."
Yuan Mu explained: "This kind of ghost has low magic power and no means of hurting people, but it has a strong ability to hide its tracks. It is usually used to detect the enemy's situation. It seems that we are being targeted."
"Being targeted? Who is it?" Yang Yang asked subconsciously.
"I don't know, I'll ask tomorrow." Yuan Mu
As he spoke, he crossed Yang Yang and went to the cashier counter, took out a piece of cheesecake from the display stand, and said while eating, "Well, it takes a lot of effort to save ghosts and ghosts, I'm so hungry, fortunately Xueer went next door to help Yue Bing take care of the little Taoist priest gone."
Yang Yang looked at him angrily, and said for a while: "Pay after eating!"
"Okay, okay, pay, pay, so stingy, tsk tsk."
Yang Yang looked at Yuan Mu who was eating the cake in front of him contentedly, and thought about the domineering Yuan Mu who exorcised ghosts just now, and wisely chose to shut up.
