"You are not talking about spells, but special abilities."
Ma Xiaoyu sighed, and suddenly felt that the green onion burrito on her lips was no longer fragrant.
"Miss Ma, please help me."
Liu Banxian rubbed his hands, "The numbers on my check were really just scrawled carelessly. If that ghost guy finds out, it will be a big trouble."
"So you asked me to find a way to change it?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
Liu Banxian rubbed his hands, "That's it. I hope you postpone the date for three days or more. When we leave Weihaiwei, the check will be invalid."
"But I am an upright person. How can magic be used in evil ways?"
"How can it be considered a crooked way?"
Yin Xiu walked in and put the candies he just bought on the table.
"That ghost guy defrauded Liu Banxian's friend of his money. We seek justice for him. That is only right! How can it be regarded as a crooked way? We are just repaying the other person with his own way.
And without the "Picture of the Magnificent Continent", if we went to Changbai Mountain, we would probably be looking for a needle in a haystack and not find anything. Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would not have been able to dig out the dragon's veins even after wandering there for so long. ”
"Is it really that important?"
Ma Xiaoyu looked at Yin Xiu.
"Of course it's true. Pearls are not so real!"
Yin Xiu smiled and walked to Ma Xiaoyu, "So it's up to you to help. No one else has such ability."
"I can't just steal that check in the middle of the night, can I?"
"It does seem inappropriate."
Ma Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay, then just think of it as a small means to retrieve "Fenghua Continent Map"."
"This is the best, this is the best!"
Liu Banxian nodded repeatedly, "Then cast a spell quickly, ah, no, use special functions!"
"Special functions?"
Ma Xiaoyu suddenly said: "I can't."
"Huh? You don't know how?"
Liu Banxian was almost shocked, "When you said that just now, I thought..."
"I really can't do it myself, but I can imitate."
"Imitate?" Liu Banxian and Yin Xiu looked at each other.
"That's right, just like the Shen Da in Maoshan Shu. It's said to be about inviting gods, but many of them are just visualizing and imitating the movements and appearances of the imaginary ancestors and gods.
Regarding supernatural powers, I saw people using them when I was in Malaysia, but it was not in a Taoist temple or Buddhist temple, but in a casino.
Oh, speaking of which, it’s not the smoky, mixed-race gambling houses you imagined. On the contrary, it was an auditorium, where important local events and banquets would be held.
Originally, things like gambling had nothing to do with us girls, and I was still young at that time. Where could I be allowed to go to such an occasion? It was my aunt who took me there.
There, there was a gamble of the century. Two people bet their fortunes. There was a man. Everyone present called him the "Gambler". It was from him that I learned what super powers are.
The card game was so exciting that the two of them played the game from noon to the electric light without any sign of stopping. The audience was so fascinated that they even forgot to drink water and eat.
I still remember the last hand of cards. Both parties bet their entire fortunes. The man called Gambling Saint also took out a bank cashier's check and the title deed of a commercial building in America. Apparently, he spent all his money.
The opponent showed four 8s first. When he showed this hand, everyone took a breath because it was almost a top card.
Just when everyone thought that the gambling sage was about to lose, he did not open the cards for a long time. Instead, he held the cards in his hand and rubbed them repeatedly until finally, he turned out a three of diamonds and won with a straight flush. This card.
I am very sure that he did not rely on luck or thousands of skills, but used special powers to steal the opponent's trump card, because I have excellent eyesight, and I have seen the three of diamonds when I was on the opponent's side. ”
"Special functions..."
Yin Xiu nodded, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "So what you want to imitate now is this unique skill, changing out the [card]?"
"Absolutely." Ma Xiaoyu squinted her eyes.
As she said this, she looked at Liu Banxian and said, "Write a check and change the date."
"Okay!"
Liu Banxian excitedly took out his checkbook and wrote one again in the same way as before.
"Will you change it now?" Ma Xiaoyu confirmed with him again.
"Wait for tonight, tonight is the best, because tonight I will go to him for a drink and get him confused. When I wake up tomorrow, I will feel that I have seen and remembered it wrong."< br>
"Are you feeding him?"
Yin Xiu glanced at Liu Banxian suspiciously, "I remember that your drinking capacity has never been very good."
"I can't, but isn't it because of you?" Liu Banxian said with a smile.
"Me?"
Yin Xiu pointed to herself, "You want me to drink instead of you?"
"Of course, don't you know that trick?"
Liu Banxian covered his face with his hand and lifted it again, "You become me and drink for me."
"But I've never met the man named Frank."
"It's okay." Liu Banxian looked at Ren Qi aside, "He has met Frank. He will take care of you, so there will be no problem."
Seeing the displeasure on Ren Qi's face, Yin Xiu pursed her lips and said, "It's not yet certain who will take care of whom."
……
Time soon arrived at night, and when the lights were first turned on, a carriage stopped at the door of the Vienna Hotel.
Liu Banxian, or Yin Xiu and Ren Qi, swaggeringly boarded the carriage while being greeted by the coachman.
As soon as they entered the carriage, there was a blond woman sitting there with a beautiful smile.
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and after Ren Qiyu whispered a reminder behind his back, he came back to his senses, "Oh, Miss Secretary, please come and pick me up in person."
"Mr. Liu, you are a distinguished guest, so of course I have to do this. By the way, Mr. Frank is already waiting for you at the Rose Restaurant."
"Okay! Let's set off!"
Yin Xiu sat down next to the secretary, and a strange aroma suddenly filled her nostrils, with a strange atmosphere, like being in a flower and fruit market, which made people dizzy.
"By the way, sir, my name is Jessica, and I would like to ask for your advice."
"My name is Lewis."
Yin Xiu took hold of the other person's extended hand. She felt that the hand was as thin as boneless, as if it would be crushed with a little force. It was so tight that people didn't dare to hold it for a long time.
But the moment he let go of his hand, another cold feeling came from his fingertips, as if flowing into his bone marrow. At this time, Ren Qi was sitting outside the carriage. He obviously didn't know what was going on inside, and was just looking ahead with half-open eyes.
After all, the person he was currently protecting was not "Liu Banxian", and there was no need to take action himself, so he just tried his best to look like a bodyguard.
When the carriage arrived at the door, Ren Qi jumped out first, and his eyes immediately met the person opposite.
It was a Japanese warrior wearing black clothes and wearing wooden clogs. He had a scar on his face, from the corner of his eye to his nose.
The long hair hangs down to the shoulders, and it looks wild in the scrawling.
"Do you know each other?"
As soon as Yin Xiu got out of the car, she saw the two of them staring at each other, seemingly showing no intention of moving.
"I cut that scar on his face." Ren Qi replied.
"Huh? Why do you have so many enemies?" Yin Xiu asked in surprise.
He regretted that he really asked Ren Qi to come with him. This incident happened more often in his life.
"Maybe it's not that I have many enemies, but that the world is too small."
Ren Qi had a cold face and still had no intention of looking away, looking at the Japanese warrior.
"This is Mr. Krupp's bodyguard, Mr. Kuroki Saburo. He is from Osaka." Jessica introduced.
"You can tell," Yin Xiu nodded, "He is a very skilled person."
"After all, he has to be responsible for Mr. Krupp's personal safety." Jessica smiled.
"Then you mean that Mr. Krupp will be here tonight?"
"Of course he will. In fact, this banquet tonight was specially prepared for you by Mr. Krupp."
"Prepared for me? What an honor!"
Yin Xiu touched her chin and followed Jessica's guidance and walked inside.
After Yin Xiu left, Ren Qi had no reason to stand still and could only follow behind him.
When passing by Kuroki Saburo, the sculpture-like samurai finally spoke.
"When we were outside the customs, you chopped down several of my brothers."
"If I remember correctly, there seem to be six, one for each sword."
"What one sword? Am I still standing here fine?" Saburo Kuroki's eyes widened.
"There must be someone left to report the news, right? Otherwise, how could anyone remember this?"
Ren Qi laughed angrily, Kuroki Saburo said: "After that, I have been looking for you, but those people said that you became a prisoner of the imperial court and ran away. Now that I see you again, I am still so annoying, don't you A fugitive? ”
"Now I am a bodyguard just like you."
"Oh, someone who can't even protect his own men can be a bodyguard?" Saburo Kuroki said with a mocking look on his face.
"It's almost the same. You can't protect your brothers, and I can't protect my subordinates. Aren't they all the same?"
Ren Qi smiled, ignored him, and walked in, leaving only Kuroki Saburo with an angry look on his face.
After a while, another carriage stopped, and Saburo Kuroki greeted it.
A middle-aged man who was well-dressed and combed his hair back walked out of it.
"Mr. Krupp." Saburo Kuroki lowered his head to greet him.
"Mr. Kuroki, I said before, there is no need to be so reserved." Krupp waved his hand.
On his right hand is a gold ring engraved with a lifelike lion's head.
"Mr. Krupp, according to your previous agreement with our Koga, as long as you have not terminated the agreement, I will protect you until you return to Europa."
"Go back to Europa?"
Krupp smiled, showing his white teeth, "In recent years, I have no such plan, because I feel that the Far East is actually a much better place than over there. There is gold buried everywhere in the black soil. I can reach out and bow my hand. You can find gold particles by holding earth.”
"It seems that no one here has noticed this." Kuroki Saburo said calmly.
"That's why we explorers are needed to discover and excavate."
Krupp walked inside, "When I was young, I visited the tropical rainforests of South America and the African savannah. I almost lost an ear in the Arctic ice sheet.
But now you ask me if I would still like to take a trip and deal with those cannibals, headhunting natives, and jungle beasts. I will only tell you: Come on, Krupp has never been afraid of these! ”
Saburo Kuroki lowered his head, "Mr. Krupp, this is where I respect you particularly.
In the Japanese mainland, although many famous people are not as wealthy as you, they are also people who dominate their area, but they dare not even go into the hills near their residences for fear of being captured by the evil spirits sleeping in the forest. ”
"Evil ghost?"
Krupp smiled and said, "If there is such a thing, I would like to try to make friends with him."
"One of them walked in just now, sir." Kuroki Saburo suppressed his voice.
"Huh? You mean that Lewis? Although I haven't met him yet, Frank said he was a very kind man."
"As long as the other party has money, in Mr. Frank's eyes, who is not kind? I'm talking about the other one, the bodyguard beside him."
Saburo Kuroki touched the scar on his face, "That guy is a very dangerous person, and he is a real evil ghost in human skin."
"Oh? That guy kills people like crazy?" Krupp raised his eyelids.
"Killing people like crazy is a compliment and even a promotion to him. I have seen him outside the customs in response to the methods of the White Lotus Sect. Regardless of men, women, old or young, as long as they can still breathe, he will make up for it with a knife. , until no more blood can be shed from the other party.”
"Ha, such a ruthless character has now become a rich man's bodyguard?"
Krupp smiled and pondered, "It seems that the guest we are hosting tonight is either very courageous, or has some ability to make the murderous devil willingly obey his orders?
Is it possible that the other party has a false identity? ”
Saburo Kuroki responded: "I really shouldn't point fingers when you receive guests, but those two people are really not reassuring."
"I understand."
Krupp took the handkerchief handed by a staff member and wiped his hands, "And I know those fanatic followers of the White Lotus Sect. These guys are more difficult to communicate with than the natives in the tropical rainforest.
They try to destroy everything related to civilization, churches, schools, foreign banks, and stock exchanges. In their eyes, they are all extremely evil. These guys are very scary.
Do you know America? When those gentlemen first went to America, the native Americans, those people with feathers on their heads and half-clothed clothes, did not welcome them. But what does it matter?
Didn’t we turn America into a civilized place in the end? Art, literature and poetry, as well as a sound financial system, are the bridges that make the world a better place.
I need to talk to that guy, and if he's willing to continue killing the White Lotus, I'm interested in supporting his cause, like offering a silver dollar for each scalp. ”
Kuroki Saburo stopped and looked at Krupp's leaving figure. Somehow, he felt a more terrifying aura in this businessman than Ren Qi.
Perhaps, this is also a special function? (End of chapter)
