Trafford’s Trading Club

In front of the garbage disposal station, Mai Lada was like a gold digger. He plunged into the smelly garbage and opened bags after bags of garbage.

Teacher Pulin couldn't help but open his mouth when he looked at it... It looked like this, probably when the sanitation workers arrived before sunrise, they were ordered to curse loudly.

He shook his head and tried to tidy up as much of the garbage that Mai Lada had rummaged through. "Perhaps you can tell me what the things you threw look like. It's better and faster for two people to find it than for one person to find it."

Mai Lada suddenly stopped her hand, stared fiercely at Teacher Pulin, and said coldly: "Human... why are you so nice to me? Do you want to get some benefits from me? "

Teacher Pulin was surprised at first, then heaved a sigh of relief and said in a calm voice: "Be kind to others...have you ever heard of it?"

Mai Lada suddenly sneered again and again. He threw away the garbage on hand and straightened his chest at the same time. "I only know human arrogance, greed, cruelty and betrayal... kindness? Stop joking."

Teacher Pulin opened his mouth, and then asked curiously: "This... this gentleman, do you have any misunderstandings about human beings?"

"Misunderstanding?" Mai Lada snorted coldly, "If there is kindness, it is only the comfort when you humans are licking each other's wounds when you are weak... When you humans have mastered the power, all that is left is evil and aggression. "

"aggression?"

Teacher Pulin frowned and took another look at the guy in black robe in front of him...who was somewhat incongruous with ordinary people's clothes. In his observation, this tall, thin man with a stern face was just an ordinary person. .

"Are you from a war-torn country?" Teacher Pulin thought for a moment, then frowned and asked tentatively: "...Have you ever killed anyone?"

Mai Lada just sneered and said nothing, and continued to rummage through the garbage... Teacher Pulin shook his head and continued to sort out the mess made by Mai Lada.

At about the same time, Teacher Pulin reminded: "This part is probably from earlier. I think after looking for it for so long, I can probably judge that the things are probably picked up by someone... So, you Are you really not going to report it missing?”

"Mind your own business!" Mai Lada said angrily: "What I do, how I do it, it's not your little human turn to interfere... While I still have patience, get away from me quickly, Otherwise, I..."

Gu Gu!

The place where the sudden gurgling sound came from was especially loud at dawn... Mai Lada's face stiffened for a while, but he still gritted his teeth to make himself look more fierce. ,"you will regret……"

Gu Gu! !

"There is a canteen not far ahead, open 24 hours a day." Teacher Pulin smiled at this moment, "Do you want to go?"

"I! I don't need help from you humans..."

Gu Gu! ! !

…

Teacher Pulin just ordered a cup of black coffee, then sat quietly, reading a hardcover book: "Grimm's Fairy Tales" with gusto.

Across the table, Mai Lada was devouring a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce... The eating appearance could be described as that of a hungry man.

This was actually the fifth plate of spaghetti bolognese, but Mai Lada's belly was like a bottomless pit, and the amazing amount of food amazed the waiter who brought the plate.

"The taste of this food is okay, what is it called?" Mai Lada suddenly raised his head and asked.

Teacher Pulin put down the [Grimm's Fairy Tales] in his hand, looked at the man whose lips were covered with meat juice, and even grabbed the noodles with his hands to eat, and asked curiously: "Have you never eaten spaghetti with meat sauce before? .”

"How could I eat human food!" He instantly sneered and disdained...but his expression soon became a little embarrassed.

He quickly wiped his hands full of sauce on his robe, his expression became serious, and he said calmly: "I said, you take me to the garbage disposal station, and I will fulfill your wish... forget it. Just add one more to this meal. Tell me, what is your wish? Wealth? Power? Or land? Women? "

"I'm quite curious." Teacher Pulin took off his round-framed glasses and wiped them slowly while asking: "What do you think, I think you can achieve for me...achieve what you mentioned for a person who sees For someone who looks as bad as you do now."

"You look down on me?" Mai Lada stared like a wolf whose tail was stepped on.

Teacher Pulin tilted his head and suddenly said: "You should be smaller than you look... is it because you look more mature?"

No matter how you look at it, Mai Lada looks like a man in his mid-thirties, about the age of Teacher Pulin. He should be calm at this age, even if he has a fiery and impulsive personality, he should not be so incompetent and stubborn. That's why Teacher Gu Pulin asked this question.

Mai La Da grabbed the fork and stabbed Teacher Pulin without saying a word.

It was just that this sudden attack finally made Teacher Pulin block it with the [Grimm's Fairy Tale] on his hand... Mai Lada frowned. Although he had lost all his strength and was even troubled by hunger like ordinary people, he could Ask yourself that this attack was already unexpected.

Blocked it...and blocked it calmly.

Mai Lada slowly retracted the hand holding the fork, frowned and asked: "What are your intentions in following me?"

The harmless-looking man in front of him may be a [non-human] hidden in the crowd like the old human mage... Mai Lada, who has lost his power, is not even sharp at this time. All the feelings have been lost, and I can only judge simply, so I am not sure.

But Mai Lada knows that the "non-humans" in the "non-human realm" have always maintained close contact with the real world, and many "non-humans" even live directly in the real world.

"There is no intention." Teacher Pulin shook his head: "First of all, you are a new face, so it feels strange. Secondly, you seem to be troubled."

Mai Lada sneered, obviously not believing what Teacher Pulin said.

"Since you don't want anything, then don't approach me again." With that said, Mai Lada stepped back step by step until he walked out of the 24-hour restaurant.

But what Mai Lada didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the door of the restaurant, several bright lights came towards him... Two police cars and three motorcycles were already parked at the door of the restaurant... ...Six police officers were approaching with guns drawn.

"Don't move! Don't try to resist!" the police officers shouted loudly at this time.

Mai Lada obviously didn't expect that these people would find him so quickly... He was startled for a moment, and then clenched his fists, but the once surging power had long since disappeared, so he let go of his hand dejectedly.

"Raise your hands high! Turn around! Give up resistance!"

Mai Lada gritted his teeth. He had seen these firearms made by humans... Knowing the power of these firearms a long time ago, he was not afraid of these firearms at all, but now...

Mai Lada could only slowly raise his hands, feeling the shame and humiliation, and secretly swore... He slowly turned around, and at this time, through the glass door of the restaurant, he saw Teacher Pulin in the restaurant. , walking towards him.

Mai Lada couldn't help but be startled.

In front of the restaurant, a thick gray fog suddenly rose... Several police officers couldn't help but panic.

But while this thick fog came strangely, it also moved very quickly. But when the thick fog subsided, they had lost track of the fugitive... Mai Lada disappeared without knowing when.

…

A few lanes away, Mai Lada frowned and shook off Teacher Pulin's hand that grabbed his arm... In the thick fog, Mai Lada was pulled directly by the other party, and then walked quickly Got to this place.

That was not the speed that ordinary humans should have, but Mai Lada was not too surprised because he had long recognized that the opponent was not simple.

But this rapid walking made him look very embarrassed after losing his strength... He tried to adjust his breathing to make himself look normal, but he could not hide his bloodless face.

"Why are they arresting you?" Teacher Pulin turned around and asked expressionlessly.

"You don't know why they arrested me...why did they save me?" Mai Lada threw back a question.

Teacher Pulin said calmly: "There will always be times when you go the wrong way...if you go the wrong way, just correct it and come back."

Mai Lada couldn't help but sneered: "How do you know that there is still a possibility of turning back on this wrong road? They all want to see him die?"

Teacher Pulin breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "Then at least let me be one of them besides them... Let him know that there is at least one other person who wants to tell him: Hey, you are going the wrong way."

"Childish." Mai Lada snorted coldly, and then looked at the surrounding environment...but he seemed much more cautious at this time.

"You will easily get caught if you go out like this." Teacher Pulin reminded.

Mai Lada said disdainfully: "They are just ordinary people holding firearms. If it weren't for me... hum!"

"It's almost dawn. It will be more difficult for you to hide after dawn." Teacher Pulin said calmly at this time: "Since you have lost something and want to find it back, at least don't let yourself be caught."

Mai Lada turned around and said thoughtfully: "Do you have a hiding place?"

Teacher Pulin nodded silently.

…

"I live here." Teacher Pulin said, pointing to this room that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Mai Lada looked at the house in surprise...Why is this guy not joking? The house not only looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but more like a building from another century compared to the surrounding houses.

"Normally no one comes here." Teacher Pulin smiled at this time and said: "The police usually don't come either... There have been murders here before. When I came here, there was a ghost living here, who likes to scare people."

Teacher Pulin didn't say what happened to the ghost, but Mai Lada easily thought of several possibilities and simply didn't bother to pay attention to the matter of a little ghost.

He casually sat down against the wall of the room, and did not mind that the floor was already covered with gray... In order to avoid the pursuit of the Magician Association, he had stayed in an environment a hundred times worse than here, so naturally he would not care about it at this time. .

Teacher Pulin turned on the faucet and brought him a glass of water.

He took it and didn't drink it. Instead, he said, "When you go to help someone, aren't you afraid that this person will be so heinous that the sins he has committed will be enough to make him die thousands of times?"

"Of course he will be afraid." Teacher Pulin shrugged: "But what scares him most is that he knows that the end of the road is destruction and is unwilling to look back."

"What a hypocritical guy..." Mai Lada sneered: "If this person is the person who killed your closest relatives and made you spend the rest of your life in pain... can you still be so determined?"

Teacher Pulin slowly sat down facing him and also sat on the floor, "I was abandoned at the door of a church since I was a child. The priest of the church adopted me."

Mai Lada frowned, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this.

Teacher Pulin said to himself: "When I was ten years old, a thief broke into the church and was discovered by the priest... During the struggle, the thief stabbed the priest in the heart with a candlestick."

"Did you kill this thief?" Mai Lada looked unblinking.

Teacher Pulin looked at him without saying a word. Mai Lada subconsciously avoided his gaze before he continued: "Since I was very young, I have had some abilities that are different from ordinary people... That time, I couldn't control myself and I almost killed the thief."

"Almost?" Mai Lada opened her mouth.

Teacher Pulin said calmly: "Before my godfather died, he asked me to forgive this thief."

"You let him go?"

"Let him go." Teacher Pulin nodded. "When I grew up, I met him again. His time was up. He was hit by a car while crossing the road...in order to save a child."

Mai Lada argued: "Perhaps he was originally a good person, but he had to go to the church to steal...that's why he saved people. But don't forget, some people are born evil!"

Teacher Pulin shook his head: "I am telling you this not to argue with you. I just want to tell you that this is the environment in which I grew up and the reason why I did this...I finally accepted it, If you still don’t accept it, I’m not going to force you. To put it simply, I just want to help you if you seem to be able to save me.”

Mai Lada said sophistry: "If I go to kill people tomorrow and kill the policemen who are chasing me, will you regret helping me now?"

Teacher Pulin still shook his head: "I won't let you do these things within the scope of what I can see. But where I can't see, no matter what you do, it will not affect me, because... that will not affect me." It's your destiny, time will give you the fairest judgment."

Mai Lada opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything in reply. Then he wrapped himself in a robe and said in a low voice, "Good night."

Teacher Pulin smiled casually, then found a calm sofa and sat down, then opened [Grimm's Fairy Tales] and started reading again.

Although there was no light in the room, he could read clearly... because behind him, there was a faint fire, which was a pale white small fire ball floating in the air... a will-o'-the-wisp.
