Drawing cards can't save the weird world
Chapter 21 The Curse of the Gypsy Old Lady
On this day, Zhao Hao was counting the account books, because the end of the month was coming soon.
Suddenly, I heard a "jingle" from the bell on the door, and when I looked up, I saw a person walking in.
It was a tall, thin man with a slightly stooped figure. The most important thing is that Zhao Hao seemed to see a wisp of black smoke flashing past his head!
If it was before time travel, Zhao Hao would definitely think that he was delusional.
But it's different now, I see too many unusual things!
This is definitely not a hallucination, it is probably because some extraordinary power is involved in this man's body!
"Hi, welcome to Old Iron Antiques. How can I help you?"
The man looked very decadent and downcast, with disheveled hair, cloudy eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, and eye bags with obvious stubble. If the suit on his body didn't look cheap, Zhao Hao would have thought he was a homeless man on the street. !
It's almost like a few hangovers after a few nights of staying up.
When Zhao Hao was in college, a classmate lived in an Internet cafe for half a month, and he was not so haggard.
"I, I want to sell something..." the man said, his voice was a little dry, but his expression was calm, he didn't look like he was drunk or high. Zhao Hao felt relieved a little.
Although it is said that Songren Street here is relatively stable, because the level of community autonomy is good, but it is not completely ok. This is Ami after all! Under the counter in front of Zhao Hao, there was a spray gun.
A few days ago, a drunk man smashed the glass of a nearby convenience store during dinner time and took away some goods!
Although he didn't run very far, he was held down and beaten by neighbors, and was taken away by some Song people with tattoos and fierce faces.
Those are Song gangs, or fellow associations, associations and so on.
That's right, Song people also have them.
It's not normal if it doesn't exist, because in the current Amei, unless something big happens, the white people can't control the affairs of the underworld.
According to Uncle Tie, in Liberty City, in addition to the red gates of the Song people, there are also some gangs of the Fusang people, the Italian mafia, the drug lord gang of Brother Moji, the local gangs of Ami, etc., which can be regarded as intricate up.
Speaking of this man, he took out a tin box from his handbag, and Zhao Hao heard a rattling sound.
It should be a small item, such as jewelry or coins.
Zhao Hao's guess was right, the man opened the box, and there were some coins, badges and other small things inside. Looks like it's aged.
Zhao Hao saw several commemorative silver coins with collection value, and felt that the business was not bad.
Of course, what's more important is the wisp of "black smoke" on this man's body!
"Uncle Tie, a customer has come to our door." Zhao Hao has only been in contact with this business for a short time, and it is okay to do some sales work, but he can't collect things yet, and his eyesight is not enough.
Uncle Tie quickly opened the curtain and walked out from the back room.
Zhao Hao quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Tie, this customer wants to sell some coins and badges, please show me." He winked as he spoke.
Uncle Tie nodded slightly, "Let me have a look."
Zhao Hao took the white towel that was wiping the counter and handed the iron box to Uncle Tie, who also took the iron box through the towel.
He understood Zhao Hao's wink, probably because he sensed something wrong with this man.
Be careful sailing for ten thousand years, and it is always good to have some towels.
The coins and badges were poured on the counter, and Uncle Tie was holding a small bamboo stick to move it.
"Well, it looks a bit valuable. These three are silver coins issued by Ingrid when they colonized here in the 18th century. There were not many issued at that time. Although the wear and tear was a bit serious, the market price of one coin can still be worth 40 knives... "
"This badge is the bald eagle silver medal of the War of Independence. It is said that less than a thousand were awarded at that time. I don't know where the guests got it from?" Uncle Tie asked.
The man looked a little embarrassed, "It's my great-great-grandfather's medal, he was a captain at the time..."
This is a pawned ancestor! Although it only has a history of two hundred years, the founding of Americo is only two hundred years old.
This is a rare local antiquity, right?
Looking at the man's condition, he must have encountered some difficulties.
Uncle Tie asked sincerely: "Sir, although the market price of this silver bald eagle medal is at least 300 knives, I definitely can't accept 300 knives. I think this kind of thing is very meaningful to your family. If it's not a special situation, I suggest you keep it?"
The man's lips moved, and he said in a deep voice, "I need money, please give me a price."
Uncle Tie nodded and said to Zhao Hao, "Serve tea."
Then lead the man to a small coffee table and sit down and chat, and discuss the price while chatting.
Uncle Tie can give people a majestic and credible feeling, and this man's condition is really not good, so Uncle Tie made a lot of talk in a short while.
In the end, Uncle Tie gave 450 knives and accepted the coins, badges and other odds and ends.
After the man left, Zhao Hao couldn't help shaking his head: "His ancestors can be regarded as the founding officers of the country, right? How did he end up in this situation?"
"Hmph!" Uncle Tie sneered disdainfully, "This country has no heart. Didn't you hear what he said? A month ago, he was considered a successful white-collar worker, and his family was still very rich. But once there is a huge change , not far from going bankrupt and living on the streets. His wife and daughter are still lying in the hospital and have to sell everything that can be sold..."
"By the way, you were winking with me just now, what's the matter?"
Zhao Hao hurriedly explained what he saw a plume of black smoke above the man's head just now, "It's as thick as an arm, it's wobbly, and it's gone in the blink of an eye. I guess it's not a good thing."
Uncle Tie stroked his chin and nodded slightly when he heard the words, "According to Mr. Nelson, his family has been in bad luck recently." Insurance companies don't pay."
"My daughter also rolled down the stairs inexplicably, and was seriously injured and admitted to the ICU... Now she is in the hospital for treatment, and every family is going to be separated. Coupled with the black smoke you see, this is not a normal situation... ..."
In fact, Uncle Tie had also carefully observed Mr. Nelson when he received Zhao Hao's hint.
Extraordinary people in the Song Dynasty are called practitioners, and generally they have a lot of abilities, and they pay attention to a wide range of abilities.
Uncle Tie knows some faces, but this Nelson looks black.
"Maybe it has something to do with the other world, I'll call Colt and let them check it out."
Like Uncle Tie, there should be many "partners" of the Mystery Bureau in Liberty City. Their purpose is to minimize the interference of the inner world and extraordinary people on ordinary people in the outer world.
After the phone call, Colt said that he would send agents to investigate Mr. Nelson immediately.
More than two hours later, Zhao Hao was copying scriptures, when the phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up to find that it was Colt.
"Zhao Hao, your guess is correct. That person has a psychic reaction! According to the investigation and speculation of my subordinates, it may have something to do with an old lady, a gypsy old woman... But, the old lady has been dead for half a month. The former is dead!"
Colt also had some headaches, but he was not afraid of the extraordinary old lady. After all, most of the extraordinary people these days are not successful, and there are many who have passed the mysterious game. Most of them are shot down with one shuttle, and they are at peace.
But the old lady is at peace! What to do?
That Nelson was obviously cursed by the old gypsy lady, but the curse did not end with the death of the old lady. Instead, his wife and daughter were unlucky to be hospitalized after the death of the old lady. This is getting worse!
This kind of thing must not be ignored, and the ghost knows what it will turn into in the end.
This is like a person who is sick, heals as soon as he is sick, don't try to procrastinate!
It's just that this old lady who is already at peace is really difficult to handle. Simply not bothering the two masters, Colt plans to ask Uncle Tie for help.
Uncle Tie took the phone, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
He put down the phone and said to Zhao Hao: "It's just right, let's take it as an experience, go and see it..."
