Chapter 32 'Hostage'

 After briefly talking about the characteristics and territoriality of evil spirits, the woman known as "Magician" continued to write: "Although Susanna Matisse's strength is equivalent to Sequence 5, you still have to deal with her if you want to.

It's not impossible. You can use that knife to give Charlie a blow and exchange the fate of meeting Montsuri's ghost with him. After Susanna Matisse is killed by Montsuri's ghost, you can then give him the fate of meeting Montsuri's ghost.

The fate of Suri's ghost was reversed and stored in the knife again."

"Okay, the above is just a joke. This plan has too many uncertainties and is almost impossible to succeed:"

"One, the ghost of Montsuri can only kill people who meet him;"

"Second, even if the ghost of Monsouli kills Susanna Matisse, you have no way of knowing, and you can't change your fate in time without affecting Charlie;"

"Third, Charlie should not be an orphan. His parents, brothers and sisters may still be there. No one knows whether the ghost of Monsouli will come out of Trier to kill people;"

"Four, the ghost of Montsouli may not really kill Susanna Matisse;"

"Fifth, Charlie must admit it himself before Susanna and he can have a occult relationship as husband and wife."

"What I'm saying is mainly to tell you, don't think this way, and don't do this. It can be seen from the fact that you take Charlie as a hostage that you have the corresponding tendency."

"Actually, this is both a crisis and an opportunity."

"For you, the best solution is to seek help from Mr. K and ask him to help deal with the threat of Susanna Mattis."

"Remember, asking for help is an effective way to bring people closer and gain their trust. Of course, the premise is that the other person must be willing and have the corresponding strength."

"You can properly demonstrate your potential and make Mr. K feel valuable."

"I wish you all the best, and I hope you can gain Mr. K's initial trust as soon as possible and become a member of that organization."

Lumian's first reaction after reading the letter in his hand was that Ms. "Magician" likes to talk, to take the topic far away and then bring it back, and to find a high-sounding reason as an excuse. Moreover, she always has some absurd things.

, an almost joking idea, which is in sharp contrast to Ms. "Hela"'s concise and concise reply.

This writing style should be the habit of Ms. "Magician". Lumian pursed his lips, rubbed his spirit, lit a flame, and burned the paper in his hand. After reading the two letters, he also gave up using "

The idea of ​​"fallen mercury" to solve the case of Susanna Matisse, after all, he and Susanna did not only have an intersection in a short period of destiny, it cannot be as simple as stripping off the fate of "encountering the ghost of Montsouri".

In comparison, asking Mr. K for help is indeed an effective method that Lumian never thought of.

This can also quickly close the relationship between him and Mr. K to complete the mission of Ms. "Magician".

After thinking for a while and debating how to tell Mr. K about the incident and how to show his own value, Lumian put on a gray-blue worker's uniform, wore a dark blue and almost black peaked cap, and left room 207.

Arriving on the first floor, Lumian saw Charlie wearing a linen shirt and black pants, wandering at the door.

"Where are you?" He greeted with a smile.

Charlie smiled: "Charlie, can you accompany me to the pawn shop? I'll treat you to breakfast and lunch!"??

The official name of a pawn shop is a pawn shop or a pawn company.

"Going to the pawn shop?" Lumian approached Charlie and asked the latter question in a lowered voice, "Is everything okay?"

Charlie looked around and smiled bitterly: "They told me that there is no problem this time, and the evil spirit Susanna has been purified.

"No matter whether there are still problems or not, life will always go on. Haha, I heard this sentence said by a customer in the bar. Doesn't it sound very cultured?

"In short, for people like us, not working for a day means that we are on the verge of bankruptcy. It won't be long before we may taste hunger again. I have to mortgage that diamond necklace and exchange it for

Cash.

Do you know? Only cash can make people feel safe. Clothes and jewelry cannot replace that. Food is even worse!"

Speaking of which, Charlie gradually became excited:

"Mrs. Alice said that necklace is worth 1,500 fils gold, and if it is mortgaged, you should get 1,000 fils gold.

"Oh, God, I have still seen 1,000 firkin in front of me in my life. Even if I become a head waiter, it will take me several years, or even ten years, to be able to save such a sum of money!
p>

"At that time, we will go to the White Coat Street Cafe for lunch. I will have a portion of Divar broth, a portion of coarse salted red wine beef, and an portion of apple tenderloin!"

Did you learn to name the dishes when you were drinking at the White Swan? Lumian cursed and asked thoughtfully: "You want me to protect you?"

Charlie chuckled and said: "I would be scared to carry such a large amount of money alone. Charles, you may not have that experience. Walking on the road, you suspect that everyone is a thief and will come to rob me. <

/p>

"I felt like this when I brought that necklace back. I was so nervous that I almost fainted. Isn't it hard to imagine?"

"Yes." Lumian laughed, "I shouldn't have such an experience. I won't have it now and I won't have it in the future, because I will only make others think that I want to rob him."

For example, Margot just contributed more than a thousand ferkin and almost bought that diamond necklace!

Charlie's smile froze instantly.

After a few seconds, he forced a smile and said: "That's why I want you to go to the pawn shop with me."

He just now really doubted how Charles got his money. This neighbor was obviously capable and smart, but he was never in a hurry to find a job. He wandered around every day, looking like he was not short of money, but he also lived in the "Golden Rooster Hotel"

" instead of "white swan wine".

Thinking of Charles pretending to be a lawyer and sneaking into the police station to provide him with important information, and thinking of Charles helping him survive the threat of Susanna Matisse, Charlie felt that it was nothing.

Charles is really a thief, robber, and fraudster, and he is also a thief, robber, and fraudster who took the risk to help me!

Lumian was satisfied with Charlie's frightened expression and asked with a smile: "Which pawn shop are you planning to go to?"

"I heard that the prices at several pawn shops in the Observatory District are more reasonable." Charlie already had an idea.

Lumian nodded:

"I'm going to the observatory area."

He planned to ask Aosta Trull for Mr. K’s contact information.

Charlie was extremely happy and spent a huge sum of money to treat Lumian to eat barbecue pie, cream donuts and plum sour wine, including, of course, his own portion.

Lumian accepted it calmly and was not polite at all.

Walking out of the chaotic street, Charlie saw Lumian heading straight for the bus stop, and followed him feeling a little distressed.

He looked around and saw no one, so he asked curiously in a low voice:

"I said last night that the knife was called the 'Cursed Blade'. Will the person who is cut by it really die and his whole family die?"

Before meeting Susanna Matisse, Charlie didn't believe in this kind of thing at all. Even if he heard about it, it would be used as a source of bragging and speech. But now, he doubts that Charles really has a magical weapon.
p>

Lumian turned his head and looked at Charlie with a smile: "Want to give it a try?"

Charlie shuddered and said with a smile:

"I believe."

"Really? But I was just bluffing Susanna Matisse last night. I am an ordinary person. Otherwise, I would be dead!" Lumian said with a smile, "Don't you think the story about the Cursed Blade I made up sounds familiar?

?Didn’t you hear the legend of the ghost of Montsouri when that madman was sober?"

Charlie's eyes gradually opened wide, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Charles, you are such a good liar. An ordinary person actually used bluff to deceive the evil spirit Suzanne Matisse, allowing him and me to survive!

I just brag in the bar and occasionally lie to people, so I am completely incomparable to him.

If you are brave and wise, such a person will definitely make a fortune!

Seeing that Charlie really believed the lie he had just made up, Lumian tried hard to control himself from laughing.

He asked seriously: "Are your father and mother still alive? Do you have any brothers and sisters?"

"Charlie was stunned for a moment, then jumped to the side like a frightened rabbit, "Why are you asking this?"

Is there really a "cursed blade"? Now he wants to find out who my other family members are?

Lumian laughed suddenly: "You're not really scared, are you?

"Are you too easy to get pranked?"

Thinking of the fool's instrument, Charlie slapped his forehead in frustration.

He could hardly tell which of Ciel's words was false and which was true.

However, after being pranked, he became more convinced that the "Cursed Blade" was fake and adapted from the legend of the ghost of Montsuri.

Ciel likes to use this kind of fake thing to deceive people, like a fool's instrument.

Well....

The story of "The Cursed Blade" is very good, now it belongs to me, I can use it to scare people in the bar at night!

The two took a public carriage to the Observatory District. Charlie asked for directions several times and finally found the pawn shop called "Phil's Pawn Shop".

It is located in a seven-story off-white building with many pilasters, arches, reliefs, large windows, etc.

On the majestic gate of "Phil's Pawn Shop", three words are engraved, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"

Freely mortgage every item, discriminate equally against everyone who mortgages something, and love every opportunity to lower prices? Lumian couldn't help but sneered.

How funny it is that a pawnshop actually carved republican political slogans on its door!

There are several counters in the pawn shop hall, with rows of benches in front of them.

At this time, dozens of people were sitting there, waiting for the clerk to appraise the value of the items and call their numbers.

Charlie found an empty counter familiarly, handed the diamond necklace in, and received a note with the name and corresponding number of the item to be identified.

After a while, the cash counter called Charlie's number.

Charlie went there full of expectation and came back as if he had lost his soul.

"What's wrong?" Lumian asked in confusion as he flipped through the newspapers placed in the hall.

Charlie said confused and lost: "That necklace, that necklace is fake, only worth 12 fils gold"
