The person in charge of the response pointed to the side emotionlessly, as if he were a verification machine without intelligence. Long-term professional experience has made him like this. Perhaps when facing these bounty hunters, he can only show no emotion.
It's the most suitable choice. Everything is just work. He doesn't need to get close to these people, and it's best not to have any conflicts.
Xiao Wu had no dissatisfaction with the receptionist's attitude, because she was now an emotionless killer. Don't ask a bounty hunter why he calls himself a killer, just think of it as some kind of title. She followed Raeder, silently
He walked to the waiting area of the bounty hunters with a loud noise, then found a box to sit down, and looked at his "colleagues" unabashedly.
The bounty hunters were also sizing her up, but some looked directly, while others were covert. Everyone's style was clearly revealed in such simple little things.
"Are you Lilith? You were not like this last time we worked together."
A tough guy in a windbreaker exhaled smoke from his mouth, and his sharp eyes like an eagle fell directly on Xiao Wu.
"It is now."
Xiao Wu responded with a dagger-sharp gaze, the subtext of which was "mind your own business."
"Really? That guy still owes me a pack of cigarettes. It seems he can't pay it back."
The tough guy in the windbreaker took another puff of the small half of the cigarette butt in his hand, then threw it to the ground and stamped it out with a bit of regret.
"Pay it back for her."
Xiao Wu suddenly threw a white object at the tough guy. The tough guy instinctively wanted to avoid it, but his electronic eyes quickly captured a clear image of the object, so he quickly raised his hand to catch it.
"What's this?"
The tough guy looked at the thing in his hand. It seemed to be a pack of cigarettes, but the packaging was strange, and there was an inexplicable sentence written in the common language of the eastern region cities: "Smoking is harmful to health."
"Antiques from the past era can still be smoked."
Xiao Wu did not lie. Although this is a "special product" brought from the earth, the earth no longer produces cigarettes, so it is perfectly fine to say that it is something from the previous era. Moreover, the production date of this pack of cigarettes is Goddess
One month before arrival, so of course not expired.
"Thank you very much."
The tough guy in the windbreaker nodded to Xiao Wu, and then carefully put the pack of cigarettes into his arms. If the other party was not lying, then this pack of cigarettes was really a very precious thing. It is said that cigarettes in the previous era were all made of natural tobacco.
, which is completely different from the current cigarettes made with flavored stimulants and combustible particles. He needs to think carefully about how to deal with this treasure, whether to enjoy it in peace and quiet, or to find a guy who is more addicted to cigarettes and sell it at a high price.
. He personally prefers to enjoy it by himself. After all, this thing is a rare thing that even money can't buy, and this "replaced" Lilith was actually given to him directly. This world is really wonderful, with the same identity
The two of them happen to be both generous. Could it be that their relationship is unusual? For example, a younger sister who has inherited her elder sister's will?
"Ahem!"
The tough guy pretended to be choked by the cigarette, actually to interrupt his endless delusions. It seems that he should watch less urban emotional dramas in the future, otherwise the plots in the dramas will always be translated into reality.
Through the simple conversation between Tough Guy and Xiao Wu, all the hunters present knew that this Lilith was not the real person, but someone who had replaced her identity. However, no one had any reaction to this, because this kind of thing is normal in the world of bounty hunters.
There is a mixed bag of people working in this industry. Some may have been guards before, some may have been criminals, and some may have been criminals who were killed as guards. The identity of a bounty hunter is actually more like a recyclable resource. As long as you
If you can get it and have the strength to continue doing it, then no one will care about who you are.
Most of the hunters stay alone, keeping a distance from each other. Only a few familiar people gather together to play cards and kill time. Hunters need to cooperate in tasks, but that is only limited cooperation.
The other party regards them as a threat. It is not unheard of for hunters to rebel and join robbers in the wild, but caravans have no good way to identify them. They can only try to give generous rewards and choose hunters with better reputations. But just like
As mentioned above, a hunter with a good reputation may be killed by robbers and then change his identity, so hiring a hunter itself is a risky thing. But there is no way. If your own security strength is insufficient, you can only find these relatively powerful ones.
Temporary workers. There are better and more regular security forces, but they are all owned by the consortium, and it is impossible for them to work for private caravans like them.
"Ka~ka~ka~!"
"Attention! Due to the break-in incident in Paradise District, you are now subject to identity checks again. Please stop all activities and prepare to be checked!"
A group of regular soldiers wearing full outer armor came to the resting place. The leading officer shouted through the loudspeaker in a commanding tone. In their eyes, although these bounty hunters were quite powerful, they were just after all.
Wild cats and dogs must listen to themselves in the city. They are the hounds of this city.
The hunters stopped what they were doing and gathered together in disgust or in vain, silently forming a long line with a wide distance between people. The regular soldiers were divided into two lines to monitor the hunters, while the officers held up their hands to verify their identities.
The machine checks everyone and observes each person's condition with its eyes.
"Is our identity okay? Will it be revealed?"
Raedel... Lancelot should be feeling very panicked now. As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she would never have any fear of these soldiers. If she was afraid, she would be afraid that the guns in their hands would go off.
She hurt herself. But it was different now. Now she was a fugitive who left home without permission. Seeing the soldiers meant that she might be caught and punished. Even if these soldiers were not under her father, she was still scared. This child was really
She was very afraid of being taken back, which resulted in serious psychological problems, and her fear had become generalized.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't say unnecessary words or do unnecessary things, no one will notice the problem. You are Lancelot, remember this!"
"Then if I reveal my secret, you have to save me!"
"I won't save you, so you'd better not expose the secret! Also, don't send me communications, otherwise you will be suspected!"
"oh……"
Raeder couldn't control her fear, so she could only turn off the body's natural reaction simulation module so that she wouldn't stutter or tremble. Of course, only the advanced body she used would have such inexplicable effects.
Function, how could a body used by ordinary civilians have such a module?
"name."
"Lancelot."
"Is this your real name?"
"It's a code name."
"Where are your weapons?"
"I don't need weapons."
"..."
The officer looked at Raeder several times from head to toe, which made her panic. Fortunately, she didn't react subconsciously now, so she looked like an immovable metal giant. The officer didn't notice her.
abnormality, he waved her hand to pass the inspection.
"Pass, next one."
Raeder put down her worries and returned to the resting place with heavy steps.
"I'll just say it's okay! These guys are just completing their work tasks and won't make things difficult for others. It's not certain who will win in a fight!"
Xiao Wu said in the channel with a slight sarcasm.
"Huh~ I'm really scared to death! It's okay, okay..."
"From now on in the exam, you have to enter the role. You can't be timid! Have you studied acting?"
"I have learned dance and musical instruments, does that count as a performance..."
"I mean theatrics!"
"No……"
"What kind of young lady are you? You haven't even learned acting!"
"Whose eldest daughter wants to learn acting!"
"Our eldest lady Elumia! She is a world-class actress!"
