Miaomiao felt relieved a little: The person who followed him last night seems to have left...
Closing the door softly, Miaomiao came to her bedside, opened the thin, worn and patched mattress, and then took out from under the mattress the 2,000 lini note that "Mr. Devil" had given her the day before yesterday.
Then she rolled up the sleeves of her rather loose clothes.
There is a small, close-fitting pocket on the lining of the sleeves that looks like it was sewn by myself.
She took out the needle and thread from the small box beside the bed, counted the money, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she carefully put the money in, and then sewed it tightly to prevent the money from falling out.
As for how to take it out when using it?
What she sews is a loose-knot thread. As long as you open the sleeves and pull on one side of the thread, the entire thread will be untied.
After doing all this, Miaomiao untied her gray clothes, then picked up the tie she had untied before going to bed last night, and wrapped it tightly layer by layer.
Soon, the chest, which was obviously thin but still beginning to take shape, was twisted into a flat plate.
Buttoning up her clothes again, she became that ordinary woman again...
After doing all this, she came to the bedside, stretched out her hand and touched the ground, first put a few dots on her face, and then carefully wiped the dust on her face, dotting her plain face little by little.
of hidden.
After that, she spread out her braided hair and carefully rubbed the hair on her forehead to make the whole hair look messy.
Dressed like this, combined with the fact that she often bows her head and covers her breasts, and wears loose clothes that don't show off her figure, she becomes the most inconspicuous and dirty girl in the slums...
After living in the slums for so many years, with a few kind-hearted aunts around me who taught me through words and deeds, Miao Miao's survival skills have been fully developed.
Coupled with the help of her neighbors, she, a teenage girl, can survive in this cruel world...
After finishing all the protection work, Miaomiao opened the door of her house, lowered her head, and walked out along the alley, intending to buy blue crystal for "Mr. Devil"...
As a result, after walking a few steps and before reaching the entrance of the alley, Miaomiao was startled when she raised her head.
Because...at the end of the alley, there were three strong men in gray cloth leaning against the wall, chatting and scanning the people walking nearby with their peripheral vision.
They look like ghetto gangsters.
But Miaomiao knew that before yesterday, these people did not wander around the area of his home.
They were following him all the way to the few people nearby...
Seeing these people, Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little scared.
She wanted to turn back, but she was worried that the other party would follow her and come to her home.
I want to take a detour, but I am worried that it will arouse the other party's suspicion.
In addition, I had to buy blue crystal today, so although Miaomiao was worried, after hesitating for a while, she finally walked over quietly with her head down and a lucky mentality...
Passing by these three scoundrels, the three scoundrels didn't react at all and were still laughing and chatting.
Seeing that the other party did not recognize her, Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, then involuntarily quickened her pace and continued walking forward.
But what she didn't see was...behind her, the three scoundrels looked at each other, then raised their eyebrows and glanced at each other...
...
All the way to the "commercial street" of the slums.
It is said to be a "commercial street", but it is actually a street with four or five shops in a slum area.
On the way to the "Business Street", Miaomiao looked back behind her from time to time. After confirming several times that no one was following her, she finally felt relieved.
Arriving at the sundry store that I asked about yesterday, Miaomiao opened the door and walked in.
The shop owner is an old man with a sharp mouth and a somewhat wretched appearance.
Seeing Miaomiao, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked up and down, then smiled, revealing two black teeth, "Little girl? Are you here to buy blue crystal?"
Seeing his look, Miaomiao lowered her head slightly, letting her hair cover her face.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Is the blue crystal in stock?"
The wretched shopkeeper nodded, then opened the counter drawer and took out a small box.
Opening the box, there are crystals of different colors packed in plastic bags.
He rummaged around and took out a plastic bag containing a pure blue crystal.
Then, he put it on the table, grinned and said, "1,500 lini."
Miaomiao was shocked when she heard his quotation.
Then she couldn't help but raise her head and asked weakly, "Isn't it 1,200 lini?"
The old man looked at her face carefully, and said with a smile, "The purchase price has gone up."
Hearing this, Miaomiao lowered her head and touched her sleeves, and then asked timidly, "Can it be cheaper?"
"It's cheap...?" The old man looked up and down her body, "It's not impossible."
Miaomiao's eyes lit up slightly.
Then she heard the old man say in a lewd way, "Come here and let me touch it, and I'll give you 50 lini."
Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red and white. For a moment, she lowered her head, rolled up her sleeves, opened the bag, took out 1,500 lini from it, and put it on the table, "Here you are. 1,500 lini."
As she said that, she reached for the blue crystal.
As a result, at this moment, the old man reached out and held down the blue crystal.
Miaomiao looked at him a little at a loss.
He glanced at Miao Miao's cuffs, clicked his tongue, and said, "The price has gone up. Now it's 1,600."
"You..." Miaomiao's tears were already welling up in her eyes.
But when she thought about completing the mission of "Mr. Devil" and thinking that there was no second shop nearby where she could buy crystals, she could only reluctantly take out 100 lini again.
The wretched shopkeeper stretched out his hand to ask for money, but he took the opportunity to touch her hand.
Miaomiao was startled and quickly retracted her hand to avoid being taken advantage of by this old man.
Seeing her look like a frightened bunny, the shop owner smiled obscenely and said, "Haha. Look at you, you are so timid."
"Here, here it is."
After speaking, he picked up the bag containing the blue crystal on the table, raised it and gestured.
Miaomiao looked at him warily, and then moved forward cautiously.
Then, when the old man wasn't paying attention, she reached out and grabbed the corner of the plastic bag and took out the blue crystal.
Seeing her like that, the old man didn't care. Instead, he laughed proudly, "haha", as if harassing Miaomiao was such a happy thing.
Miaomiao felt aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do against the old man.
Therefore, she could only pretend not to hear the old man's laughter, carefully picked up the bag, and carefully inspected the crystal inside. After confirming that it was genuine and that the flaws were no problem, she put the remaining
He put the 100 lini on the ground, clutched the crystal, and quickly walked out of the store with his head down.
Behind her, the old man touched his chin, looked at her back lewdly, and said "tsk tsk" twice, "Although it's a little dirty, it looks so tender."
"You should tell Ah Da and Ah Er, don't kill them after you're done playing, and bring them back to me to play with."
After saying that, he put down his hand, hummed an unpleasant song, picked up the rag and wiped it on the old glass on the counter.
'Doing business...'
'Those who have no capital are the most profitable.'
'Especially in slums. Every year there are always a few fools who have worked hard for many years and saved some money, but have nothing to rely on.'
'I am not a repeat customer, so there is no possibility of a second transaction.'
'It won't be a big deal if you die.'
'This kind of person is the best target...'
'It's reasonable for someone who can open a shop in a slum area to occasionally cooperate with gangs and gangsters to make some extra money, right?'
The law of the jungle, at the bottom, is always the most naked...
...
After leaving the grocery store, for some reason, Miaomiao always felt a little confused and had an ominous premonition.
She looked down at her "shadow", trying to find some sense of security.
But the "shadow" didn't respond at all, which made her feel even more uneasy...
Therefore, she did not dare to delay. She held the crystal tightly in her hands, lowered her head, and walked quickly towards her home.
After turning two streets and crossing a small bridge, she was not far from her home.
Looking at the familiar scene, Miaomiao felt that the uneasiness in her heart was slightly relieved, so she continued to walk forward.
And just when she walked into an alley, suddenly, she felt the light in front of her dim.
She looked up and saw one of the three scoundrels who had followed her yesterday, standing at the end of the alley with a sinister look on his face.
Miaomiao's heart tightened.
She clenched her hands involuntarily, then lowered her head, turned around, and wanted to go back the way she came.
As a result, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there were two more figures at the entrance of the alley... They were two other scoundrels.
Looking at the three people in front of her who looked evil, Miaomiao clenched the blue crystal in her hand tightly, and her heartbeat began to beat faster and faster.
She turned slightly sideways, with her back to the wall, backed away cautiously, and then said timidly, "What are you doing?"
"It's daytime now."
Hearing Miaomiao's words, the three scoundrels looked at each other, then laughed "haha" twice and said, "Little girl, what happened during the day?"
"Can't you do something during the day? Hahaha."
"I'm telling you, don't have any unrealistic hopes."
"This is all managed by my brothers."
"Today, you have to keep your money and your people. You also have to keep the crystals."
"You will be unlucky if you meet some of our brothers."
As he said that, he rushed forward with a quick step.
Seeing the rogue's actions, the girl turned around in fear and wanted to run, but for some reason, as soon as she ran, she felt that her legs were numb and soft, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the rogue rushed over and grabbed her wrist with his rough hands.
Feeling the inescapable power, she looked at the rogue's ugly face in horror, her mind went blank, and waves of despair came over her.
"Mr. Devil, help me..."
"Mr. Devil, please, help me..."
In despair, the girl's tears fell down, and she kept calling her "master"...
The scoundrels didn't know who the devil was, so they just thought she was asking for help from her friends.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, several scoundrels became excited and laughed even more crazily.
The girl's wrist was grabbed, her little body huddled up, she tried her best to squat down, and she closed her eyes in despair...
And just then.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
The air suddenly became extremely quiet.
After a moment, two scoundrel exclamations came to her ears,
"Mom! What kind of monster is this!"
"Fuck. What the hell is this?"
The girl opened her eyes in a panic, and then she saw a two-meter-tall monster suddenly appeared in front of her.
The monster had a slender body but very broad shoulders. It held a 1.5-meter-long broad-faced sword in its hand. There were strange patterns painted on its face.
The girl looked at it in surprise, not knowing where it came from.
At this time, the monster held up its pitch-black sword and walked towards the three scoundrels step by step.
The three scoundrels were so frightened that they screamed and tried to escape.
And the monster was seen sprinting forward, chasing behind the three people, and then stretched its arms like a roc, and raised its black wide-faced sword high to the upper left.
Then!
Just listen to "Crack!"!
One knife.
Six and a half!
The three scoundrels still kept running, but their bodies were already separated.
Their faces still maintained a look of horror, and they turned their heads as hard as they could to see clearly what was happening behind them.
However, there were only three muffled sounds of "pat", "pat" and "pat", blood splattered, and their upper bodies "slowly" fell to the ground.
They just kept their frightened expressions, staring at the monster in front of them with unblinking eyes.
When their consciousness remains, the only two thoughts they have are:
Who is this girl? Why is she protected by such a terrifying monster?
and....
If I had known earlier, I would not have snatched this time...
At this time, the girl was completely confused.
Looking at everything in front of her, she couldn't help but fall to the ground, and then looked at the monster absentmindedly.
The monster just turned to look at her, then walked step by step into her shadow, and then slowly sank in.
The girl looked at the magical scene in front of her.
Then he reacted belatedly...this...is this the messenger sent by "Mr. Devil" to protect him?
His "Shadow Warrior" doppelgänger?
So...it was actually Mr. Devil who heard my call and asked this messenger to protect me?
Thinking of this, Miaomiao stood up tremblingly.
She first looked at the alley that was covered with blood, and then looked at her own shadow.
After a moment, she bowed deeply towards the shadow and said, "Thank you, Ms. Monster."
After saying that, she knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed towards the east, "Thank you, Mr. Devil."
After doing all this, she glanced at the two dead scoundrels again, then dragged her weak legs and walked quickly towards her home...
The smell of blood gradually filled the alley, attracting many passers-by.
But they all just looked at it, and then ignored him with numb eyes.
In the slums, death is never a big deal.
Immortal people are news...
...
I stumbled all the way home.
As soon as she entered the house, Miaomiao quickly locked the door.
Then she slowly opened her hand and looked at the blue crystal that was still tightly held in her hand even though she was caught.
At this time, her hands were already covered with sweat, and her palms were red from the blue crystal.
But seeing that the blue crystal was intact, a smile broke out on her face.
I finally completed what Mr. Devil arranged...
Thinking of this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The only bad thing is... Mr. Devil spent an extra 400 lini.
Thinking of the extra money spent, Miaomiao couldn't help but think of that wretched shopkeeper.
Then her little body couldn't help but shiver.
Thinking of the greedy eyes of the wretched shopkeeper and his perverted actions, Miaomiao felt cold and hairy all over...
She couldn't help but shrink back, and then muttered silently, "It's okay, it's okay... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mr. Devil will punish him."
........
Time passes minute by minute.
Soon, night fell.
night.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Miaomiao always feels like her shadow has fluctuated.
But when she looked carefully, she didn't see anything unusual.
So, she continued to sit by the bed and do handwork: this was her main source of income...
Just like that, I did manual work for half an hour, and based on the piece rate, my income was 5 lini.
This is already considered a good income in the slums. It was introduced to her by the fat aunt next door.
He put down the needle and thread in his hand, rubbed his sore shoulders, blew out the dim kerosene lamp, and the room fell into darkness.
In low-level cities, the people at the bottom are still very frugal in their lives. They don't use lights if they can, and even if they are used, they can only be used for work.
When the work is finished, blow it out in time to save expensive gas costs.
Therefore, darkness may be the color that the people at the bottom are most accustomed to.
Because she lived alone and was a girl, Miaomiaojia's house did not open the door or windows, which made her do most of her work at night and stare into the darkness in a daze.
And just when she started to sit on the bed as usual, staring at the dark room in a daze, she suddenly heard a crisp sound.
Miaomiao was startled, and then she didn't dare to move.
At this moment, she seemed to vaguely see a tall figure in the room.
She quickly called out in a low voice, "Monster, Ms. Monster, is that you?"
There was no answer in the darkness.
Miaomiao carefully picked up the kerosene lamp and lit it.
Dim light slowly filled the entire room.
And the moment she saw the situation in the room clearly, Miaomiao couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
Because...there were piles of Lini banknotes and crystals of different colors scattered on the ground.
The crystal shone with magnificent colors under the dim light, exuding an alluring light.
And the tall monster that I saw during the day was standing in front of the pile of crystals.
She looked at the monster in surprise, wondering why it appeared and why there were crystals and Rini all over the place.
For a moment, a hoarse female voice sounded in her mind with difficulty,
"Master... orders... to protect... safety."
"The threat...completely...removed."
girl:??
...........
In the distance. Slum area, "Business Street".
In a closed utility store.
Under the dim light, the owner of the junk shop fell in a pool of blood.
His whole body was broken into two sections from his mouth, and his hands and feet were also chopped off. His eyes were wide open as he looked ahead, as if he had seen something that made him extremely frightened...
...........
At night, Fang Ze dragged his tired body back to his temporary residence.
Because of Han Kaiwei's sudden death, both the task force and the security bureau were all tense.
Among them, Fang Ze, as the most important suspect, must be the focus of attention.
The Security Bureau didn't say anything. After Bai Zhi probed in a subtle way and conveyed some information to Fang Ze, she let Fang Ze leave.
On the other hand, other "colleagues" in the task force did not know the truth of the matter. They only knew that Han Kaiwei was dead. And Fang Ze was a criminal who had openly "cut his throat" on Han Kaiwei before.
Therefore, on this day, Fang Ze himself did not know how many attentions and vigilant looks he received.
This also made him tense up, fearing that something would be exposed accidentally at the critical moment when he was about to awaken his abilities...
In this way, after fooling around for a day, Fang Ze was able to take a breather.
He felt that he really couldn't stay in this task force any longer. If he stayed here any longer, even if he was not silenced, he would probably be crushed to death by the comments of his colleagues.
Therefore, now he desperately wanted to see Miaomiao and wanted her to give him a surprise, so he bought the last material for the [Spiritual Awakening Method]: blue crystal...
After washing up, Fang Ze ignored Wang Hao's eyes that were secretly observing him, lay down directly on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Fang Ze opened his eyes again, he was already in the [Late Night Investigation Room].
Just like the previous times, the room was still the same as when Fang Ze left.
The two sets of tables and chairs placed in the center of the room, standing on the left wall, the large iron door with the word "一" written on it, and the awakening materials that Fang Ze placed on the table when he left last night, are all intact.
....
After checking the awakening materials and confirming that there were no problems, Fang Ze clicked on the summon list.
Unlike yesterday, Miaomiao was "online" very early today.
Fang Ze felt relieved: This should prove that everything went well...?
I don’t know if it went smoothly without any accident; or if there was an accident and was solved by the shadow warrior...
While thinking this, Fang Ze adjusted the room environment, and then began tonight's "interrogation"...
.......
Waking up from his sleep, Miaomiao found that he had indeed arrived at the territory of "Mr. Devil" again.
She looked up at "Mr. Devil".
Mr. Devil is still surrounded by a faint layer of mist. He is sitting high on the dark throne, holding his hand on the armrest, looking down at himself.
For some reason, Mr. Devil's appearance was no different from before, but Miaomiao seemed to be able to feel that he was very tired.
In the past, Miaomiao was only afraid of Mr. Devil. But after experiencing today's life-saving grace, she has a lot more affection and respect for Mr. Devil.
Therefore, she, who had always been responsible, knelt down and greeted her, then asked in a low voice with her soft voice, "Mr. Devil, you seem a little tired?"
Hearing her question, "Mr. Devil" was obviously stunned for a moment.
For a moment, he stood high on the throne, looked at the girl kneeling below, and said in his hoarse and low voice, "Yes. A devil was killed today. Because I am the strongest, he was killed."
Suspected to be the murderer."
Miaomiao knelt on the ground and said weakly but firmly, "Mr. Devil is so kind, he must not be the murderer."
Mr. Devil Fang Ze:??
