Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 344:
Jenkins asked.
"In our lives, we can make decisions on our own."
"Oh......"
He thought of the so-called destiny, thought of "Epic of Time", thought of Mr. Pisco, the playwright who lived his life to wait for him.
"To make decisions independently...the stage of destiny."
The place where Britney meets her friends is the Stryker camp outside the city. Although it is called a camp, it is more like a small town. Travelers who came to Nolan City for various reasons usually rest in the woods near the camp before entering the city. A few hundred years later, the town of today's scale was formed.
It was her friends in school who met with Britney. Although Jenkins rarely heard of her friends going to school, they were really students from the aristocratic girls’ school whose names Jenkins had forgotten.
The town is very small, but there is no trace of Goldilocks in Britney’s friend’s house. The young female student froze for a long time, not knowing how to explain it, and finally explained Britney's whereabouts.
"She just went shopping after dinner, don't blame her, Hathaway."
The girl hesitated and stopped.
Jenkins and Hathaway found the [Ensix Grocery Store] easily. This is a real grocery store. After pushing the door to enter, Jenkins was startled by all kinds of trash inside. After opening the curtain to the back of the store, he found that it was a fortune-telling room.
Hathaway's complexion immediately became unsightly. She strictly forbids Britney from touching these things, and it was obvious that the blonde girl had lied.
Ordinary people are eager to predict their fate, so all kinds of divination methods have been invented. Obviously the tricks behind the grocery store are ordinary people's tricks. Although Jenkins hasn't gotten the basics of divination so far, he can still distinguish between true and false.
There are no windows in this room, and the only remaining door is hung with black blackout curtains. The room is extremely dim, and you can see the star map drawn on the wall, and the white lines from the ceiling, the cards hanging from the white lines, the statues on the wall and other strange things.
The only light source here is in the center of the room. Oil lamps and crystal **** are placed on a square table covered with a dark blue tablecloth, and a huge human eye is drawn on the tablecloth.
Originally, strangers were not allowed to enter during the divination process, but Jenkins is now very rich, so the two walked in.
"...That's it, your love will go very smoothly, but what you want may not really belong to you. Yes, I saw it, I saw the harbinger of destiny, I saw it, you The future is bright..."
This is just a few words that I heard when I approached. From the back, it was Britney who was doing divination there.
He already felt that Hathaway's anger could not be restrained, so he motioned to her to come forward to say hello, and he took the cat back to the door and waited for them to come out. He didn't need to stay inside, he would be embarrassed if he quarreled for a while.
His true eyes seem to have no effect on the soul of Duoshe, but the murderer still has a trick in his hands. And if the old key keeper does not carry the gun in order to conceal his identity, then this person has no threat to Hathaway.
That's why he retreats back to the store with confidence. The middle-aged owner of the store gave Jenkins an ambiguous smile.
The Eye of Reality glanced around and saw nothing, and then focused on the center of the messy pile of sacks. The dirty pockets contained piles of small pieces of paper, which seemed to be souvenirs used by travelers to pray for blessings, and the stairs led to the second floor.
"What is the second floor?"
Jenkins asked. The boss knew that he was generous, so he touched his beard and replied enthusiastically:
"The drugstore sells some very convenient medicines. Get rid of fatigue, make your head smarter, get rid of mosquitoes, or...make you stronger."
"Oh."
Jeenkinston lost interest there.
Actually, he is now very curious about what happened behind the curtain, but at least the two people shouldn’t have quarreled now. Jenkins knew that Hathaway would never be strong in front of Britney, but he also knew that Hathaway also had her own bottom line.
For Britney's interest in transcendence and occultism, the two girls had a fierce quarrel, especially after that illegal channeling. But no one would take the initiative to mention this to Jenkins, so he didn't know what it would be like when the girls quarreled.
It's boring to stand outside the door, and here is the grocery store. It's always bad to walk out empty-handed after entering the door, and Jenkins thought he might be able to buy something. But he remained vigilant, and his left hand in his pocket still held the metal block. Once the soul carrying the strange gun appeared, Jenkins would never let him go.
Chapter 810 Chapter 793 Salesman
Today’s events make Jenkins feel that he should treat his cat a little better. He is now almost immortal, and the time that cats can stay with him is limited.
In order to let chocolate have unlimited fun in the limited cats, Jenkins thinks that he should buy some small toys for it. After all, the cat with only the metal block and the life orb all day looks too pitiful.
"what do you like?"
He looked at the grocery store in this small country town and asked his cat, the chocolate meowed lazily, meaning it probably didn’t matter—Jenkins guessed it.
"If you like spherical toys, then we can choose this one, and then some toys for you to sharpen your claws. I don’t know about this world...cough cough, if there is a cat climbing frame in this place, I want you I should like it too."
"Meow~"
The cat yelled softly and raised his head to look at Jenkins.
It was the first time he saw the man crying in the evening. It became Jenkins' pet for a reason, but chocolate doesn't like Jenkins crying no matter what. It originally had some pretending to be fun, but it tried a little, but it almost broke Jenkins.
It knows that this man is relying on it. This lonely man seems to hide behind the curtain from everyone. In fact, he is as easy to understand as a little boy under the lights on the stage.
"Meow~"
The cat decided to teach that **** gun, it should be very simple.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Jenkins, who was planning to buy toys for the cat, thought that he might not be able to return to the city tonight. Before he went to Hathaway's house, he had greeted Ruen's friends and postponed tonight's party, so it would be fine to stay in the country tonight.
"I remember seeing the hotel in the town from the window of the carriage, and now I go to disturb Britney's friends, it may be a bit too late, and we have so many people."
He was thinking about this while looking at the "automatic cat box" in front of him. The so-called cat box is actually a cage made of metal plates and a small steam device, which can be cleaned automatically to a certain extent. But Jenkins would never buy this kind of thing, and the rush of steam is likely to hurt the chocolate. Moreover, the cat box is made of all metal, and it is likely to conduct the heat of the steam oven, or the cat in it will be steamed.
In this era of booming steam industry, countless strange inventions were born. Only a few of them can be recognized by the public, and most of them are buried in the dust of history because of defects or other reasons.
Jenkins had the habit of checking the information about soliciting investment every day when he was reading the morning paper. He didn't want to participate in the projects of scientists and inventors, but the description of those projects was interesting.
"That cat box is cheaper, I can sell it to you for 10 shillings."
the boss behind reminded him.
"Am I like a scrap metal collector?"
Jenkins joked, then shook his head. The boss knew the thing was useless, so he shrugged his shoulders and stopped selling it.
In fact, sometimes I think of it, chocolate is also a very magical cat. Ever since I saw it at the corner of Privet Road in the late summer night, this cat has shown a considerable degree of humanity.
Jenkins never knew that there would be cats that could be so smart before that. Even before it drank the [Animal Revelation Potion], the intelligence of chocolate was much higher than that of most animals.
"But as long as you don't leave me."
The lonely man thought so.
He is not the kind of pervert who has thoughts about small animals, but after being here for so long, Jenkins still cannot completely trust anyone around him. It is very painful for a person to hold secrets, so he needs to have creatures around him that he can fully trust.
Hathaway and Britney stayed in the fortune-telling room behind them for a long time, but in view of the loud noise from the woman just now, Jenkins couldn’t get in. The original owner of the room, the woman in a black veil and purple veil, had already come out. At the moment, she is standing at the counter and talking to the grocery store owner about tomorrow's lunch-they seem to be a husband and wife.
The night is getting deeper, and in the brightly lit grocery store, the metal utensils reflect a soft light. Outside the shop, there are no street lights on the street, but there is not much fog in the country town.
Jenkins looked at the street outside through the shop window, feeling a little melancholy for a while.
looked around, a black spot of light in the distance was gradually approaching.
"finally come."
Jenkins thought to himself, wanting to turn around to inform Hathaway to prepare. But at this moment the door of the grocery store was pushed open, and a man in a black suit and carrying a suitcase walked in.
frowned and looked at it. It was just an ordinary person, his clothes were meticulous, and his black leather shoes were polished as if they could shine. But beside him, there was a ghost with an obscure face floating around, and thick gray smoke floated on the outside of the ghost, so the appearance of the ghost was vaguely indistinguishable.
"what happened?"
Jenkins is not sure if this is a coincidence. When the black light in the distance approaches, this person appears. The timing is too sensitive.
"Hello, gentlemen, does anyone need [Tycolle Cleaning Company] clean shoe polish..."
The middle-aged man is a salesman, and he is also a salesman with very skilled sales skills. Even though everyone present was unwilling to buy expensive shoe polish, they did not feel bad because of his introduction.
The spirit body next to the salesman is honestly following the salesman, as if it only entangled this ordinary person occasionally, and wanted to give him some "surprise" in his daily life.
This kind of thing is very common, and this kind of soul that does not possess the characteristics of "evil spirit" usually disappears in a few months. If you want to avoid being entangled by dead souls, don't go to the cemetery at night, and don't get close to people who have just died.
"But... is this really a coincidence? Why does it appear now? It's a blast?"
Jenkins stood there and didn't move. He looked to the side, and the black spot in the distance got bigger and brighter, which meant that the trick was gradually approaching.
He carefully picked up the cat on his shoulder and stuffed it in his clothes to prevent the sad scene from reappearing in the afternoon. At the same time, holding his cane in his hand, he moved closer to the salesman:
"Hello, sir, may I have a look at your shoe polish?"
Jenkins asked in a low voice as if being attracted by interest.
Episode 811
"Of course you can, please take a look."
Seeing that Jenkins was interested, the man immediately opened his suitcase enthusiastically and handed him the black viscous oil in the glass bottle. That thing looks so disgusting, it's hard to imagine how it was made.
"Oh, sorry, **** bug!"
Just as the two approached, Jenkins suddenly waved his cane. While waving and murmuring swear words, it was as if there were really flies flying around him.
The wielding [Spirit Strike Stick] "inadvertently" hit and passed the spirit behind the salesman. The undead who should have been physically harmless immediately showed a scary red swelling mark. Its body quickly melted with the red and swollen trace as the center. When Jenkins apologized to the scared salesman for his reckless behavior, it had completely disappeared.
"Destroyed... not the key keeper, is it really just a coincidence?"
While listening eagerly to the salesman explaining the advantages of shoe polish, Jenkins was still thinking about the undead just now. He thought that the old key keeper wanted to play a trick to get the gun to come from a distance, while he was hiding his identity and approaching directly. But thinking about it now, the old murderer couldn't possibly know that Jenkins could perceive a trick or something similar, and he had no reason to use such a complicated method.
"Am I worried?"
The salesman's shoe polish is quite expensive. Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately wants to kill Jenkins. Jenkins would never have to spend 3 shillings to buy a can of dark oil. He would rather find a flower **** the street to buy a bunch of flowers than buy a bottle of rubbish.
Hathaway and Britney finally opened the black blackout curtain and walked out when Jenkins tried to persuade the salesman to go to the grocery store owner to sell. Both girls looked like they had cried, their eye circles were a little red, but they should have been reconciled, otherwise they would not hold hands.
"Oh, you guys are finally out, let's go!"
said, leaving behind the salesman who was packing suitcases and walking towards the girls. The aura represented by that gun is still approaching here, but for some reason it is surrounding it. This should mean that the owner of the gun is aware that he has been found and is looking for a way to ambush everyone.
"Let's go quickly."
Jenkins emphasized it again, and the drooping right hand showed the shape of a pistol. Hathaway nodded knowingly, and also catered to:
"Yes, it's getting so late, let's go. Today may not be back to Nolan, but I think we can live in..."
Before the voice fell, a gunshot suddenly came out in the distance. In the long silent night, the sound made the air tremble. People in the store heard this sound at the same time, and the red-haired girl subconsciously stopped the blond girl behind her.
"Damn it, is the security here so bad?"
Jenkins murmured a word, and then took the lead out of the store and took a look, then turned his head and said to the people behind him:
"Listen to the sound, the gun response should be a few blocks away, and now I don't see any suspicious people around here. I think everyone should be careful. There may be a case in the town."
In fact, the sound just now came from the gun, which can be confirmed by Jenkins's eyes and Hathaway's ears. The reason for the shooting was definitely a threat to Jenkins and his party.
"Will I be afraid of you?"
Not counting the people in the herbal shop on the second floor, there are now a total of six people standing on the first floor of the grocery store. And if there is a fight, these people are definitely hindering.
Jenkins gestured Hathaway with his eyes to use [Slumber] to let everyone sleep for a while. Although he also has similar spells, the ability of the gifter is obviously more secure.
"I think you can wait here for a while before leaving. The police gentlemen should pass by here. If you go out now, it won't be good to run into that gangster head-on."
The owner of the grocery store suggested that he was very kind.
And Hathaway has already taken out the silk thread that is often used as a string, but before she can start playing, Britney actually hugs her right hand.
"Don't worry, Jenkins will protect us."
said the blond girl, her face now has a complex expression of fear and concern.
"I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. I originally thought this town was very peaceful."
The salesman also sighed softly. He stood slightly against the wall, a little farther away from the others.
"I heard that there was a midnight serial homicide in Nolan not long ago. I don't think that happened in our town."
The owner of the grocery store continued talking, and Jenkins immediately glanced at him suspiciously, but said nothing.
Just as the boss mentioned earlier, a few minutes later, the police who came after hearing the news hurried past the door of the store and ran in the direction of the gunshot.
Jenkins once again confirmed that the gun was in a circle not far from here, and stretched out his hand and took Britney's hand. The latter turned red immediately, looking at Hathaway's expression, but Hathaway did not comment, she knew that Jenkins was protecting them.
"Let's go quickly."
said, without even saying goodbye to the others in the grocery store, he pulled Britney to the street shrouded in darkness. Hathaway followed closely, and the middle-aged salesman saw that the customers had left, and shrugged and left the grocery store.
The air in the country town is much better than that in the city. The evening breeze at night is full of the unique moisture and the fragrance of the soil in the country. Jenkins is not sure whether the word "fragrance" is appropriate, but at least it tastes better than the choking smell of city air.
The grocery store is especially warm because of the fireplace, and when they come outside, everyone can't help but shiver because of the night breeze.
Jenkins took off his jacket and handed it to Britney, revealing the navy blue sweater Mary knitted for him. Britney wanted to pass the coat to Hathaway again, but was refused. The latter grabbed her clothes and motioned that she was not cold at all.
The man took a few breaths of fresh air, first raised his head to look at the stars in the sky, and then squinted in the direction of the gun.
"Hathaway, where did you say we can live?"
