Chapter 15 Scarecrow Club (please read)
It seemed that there was only a pile of rocks and dead branches, but after careful observation for a few seconds, Lynch finally discovered that there was something really inside.
A few lizards were lying on the rocks, almost motionless, their colors blending into the rocks.
The eyes of those around them were also focused on these lazy creatures, their eyes full of fanaticism.
"What are you doing, selling lizards?"
"What do you think?" Officer Natalie raised the corners of her mouth with a hint of joking in her tone.
The fanatical eyes and crazy shouts around him reminded him of the racecourse in his previous life. Lynch said thoughtfully: "Betting on lizards?"
"Huh." Officer Natalie curled her lips regretfully, "It's just betting on lizards. It's a very complicated method. I won't remind you not to participate. I'm still very relieved about you."
Hmm. Lynch nodded. It seemed that the police officer was very discerning.
"You don't have any money to gamble anyway."
Why did this woman suddenly curse and expose her shortcomings?
“Linda, get him a beer.”
The police officer waved to the bar, and then another bartender dressed in men's clothing came out carrying a beer.
"I brought him, please help me take care of him." Natalie patted Lynch on the shoulder.
"Good afternoon, Officer Angel, are you bringing someone new here?"
The police officer's voice alerted several drinkers around, and some raised their glasses in welcome.
"Natalie, I heard that you destroyed a cultist's sacrifice last night. Is this kid a survivor? How many days can this guy live? Hehe, kid, did you wet your pants last night? Don’t worry, this is just the beginning, hahahaha.”
A short bearded man, whose face was red from drinking, pointed at Lynch and laughed.
No matter what nonsense you say, there are drunken lunatics everywhere.
Lin Qi sighed secretly, not bothering to behave like a drunkard.
However, he immediately felt that Natalie's hand that was still on his shoulder suddenly tightened, squeezing his shoulder painfully. When he looked up, he saw Officer Natalie raising her eyebrows with a gloomy expression.
He grabbed the beer glass that Lynch was about to pick up and poured the entire glass of wine on the other person's head.
Holding the glass of wine with a look of astonishment on his face, the bearded man had not yet sobered up from the wine, and was a little dazed for a moment. Natalie had already taken a step forward, grabbed his collar and pointed at his nose, and said with a stern face:
"If you can't control your mouth, just find a survivor to make fun of. Lynch is the friend I brought here. No matter how many days he can live, it's not your turn to make fun of him. Now apologize to him." .”
"Are you crazy, Natalie, are you planning to start a war?" The bearded man gradually woke up and his eyes widened, "I didn't say anything wrong, what's wrong with you."
"I don't care about you. You are right, Lin Qi is my comrade-in-arms, not a drag. If you dare to mock him like this, you must apologize today, otherwise I will make you pay the price."
Lin Qi on the side only felt in his heart. Nuannuan, looking at the angry eyes of the bearded man, was a little worried for Natalie, so he touched his nose and said: "Well... I thought that glass of wine was for me."
"Shut up, too." Officer Natalie stared coldly into the bearded eyes without turning her head.
The bearded face turned red and white, and his expression turned ferocious several times, but Officer Natalie always held his collar tightly and never wavered.
"Okay, okay, I apologize." The bearded man finally looked away and muttered angrily, "I didn't know you regarded him as a comrade."
"Hmph." Officer Natalie let go of her hand and returned to Lynch, "I'm going to see if that person is free, don't run around."
"Well, I'm right here. Move around." Lynch grabbed his hand twice in the air, "Thanks, comrade, but is this more..."
"Drink whatever you want, bear with me." Officer Natalie chuckled. He immediately put on a serious face and strode away angrily, leaving Lynch alone by the bar.
Gee, this woman is so irritable.
"Hahahaha, you are so pitiful, beautiful Linda. Give him another drink and it will be mine." Someone next to him raised his glass and laughed, "What a pity, Trin, Natalie I didn't beat you up, you idiot."
"I'm not afraid of her. I wasn't afraid when her father was alive." The bearded man on the side was not embarrassed at all, shaking his hair and beard like a dog and said with a smile. , "I'm sorry, kid. I was just joking, but you are very powerful. This is the first time I have seen that violent female orangutan being so angry for ordinary people. What have you done?"
"Hehe, thanks, brother, you're quite a nice person."
Lin Qi raised his glass to the passers-by who were inviting guests, and finally drank the beer in this world. It tasted more exciting than the beer in his previous life, but he didn't expect it. It tastes so good. However, he still drank half the cup in one go and had it for lunch. But, Bearded, do you think she is a female orangutan? Lin Qi raised his eyebrows and said loudly with a smile:
"Actually, I didn't do much. I just identified the strange objects in one second, found the mysterious source at a glance, and went deep into the out-of-control strange objects. It took forty-five minutes to read I got the deep memories of the strange objects and made a big fuss inside, which is not worth mentioning.”
The expression was quite exaggerated, not only the beard, but Lynch’s attitude and words made the surrounding atmosphere suffocate, and then the whole room burst into laughter, especially the bearded Cui En who laughed the loudest:
"Hahahahaha "You dare to brag. Yes, I like you. To tell you the truth, I am still His Majesty Rudolf. I came out in casual clothes today, haha." "Oh, what I said is obviously the truth, why don't you believe it." .”
"Hahaha, if you can do this, I will kneel down and lick your boots on the spot." The bearded man smiled and wiped his beard, "Forget it if you don't want to say it, haha, it doesn't matter, pretty girl, Linda, give him another drink , He tells good jokes, I’ll treat you.”
For a time, the bar was filled with a happy atmosphere, and most people even turned their attention from the glass cover to Lynch, but after a few bells. Suddenly came the sound from the bar, and a group of drinkers immediately squatted back beside the bar, staring closely at the lizard in the glass cover. No one paid any attention to Lynch anymore.
Lynch shrugged, took the beer from the beautiful female bartender, and raised his glass to her: "Thank you, is this your watcher's stronghold?"
"Well." Linda the bartender wiped the wine glass at the bar, "You should say 'them' watchmen, we ordinary people are peripheral members."
"I think it's about the same, but you are really ordinary Man, I thought this place was full of soul-shifters."
Linda rolled her eyes at him: "There are so many soul-shifters, most of them are ordinary people who survived mysterious incidents. Once exposed to mysterious events, it is easy to establish a connection with the mystery and never return to a normal life. Those survivors who have some ability simply become mysterious hunters, occasionally accepting less dangerous commissions from the Watchers. , it can be regarded as a win-win result. If you encounter a dangerous mysterious incident, you will have the opportunity to solve it nearby. As for the survivors who are incompetent, they can rely on the watchers to do some clerical work. For example, we can live one day longer. "
"How can you say you don't have the ability? I don't believe those people can clean the cup quickly and cleanly. Everyone has their own specialties."
"Hey, it's useless to please me. I won't ask you to Have a drink." Linda smiled and rolled her eyes at Lynch, "But there are also some soul-shifters among them. The bearded Cui En who fought with Natalie was one. I just saw you angry when he said something about Natalie. Well, be careful, he is also a Level 2 Soul Disciple, don’t mess with him.”
“Well, thank you for reminding me, I never cause trouble.”
Lynch had actually been reminded by the female voice that there were at least five soul-shifters in the bar, especially one who was staring at the crystal ball and gently stroking it, one who had his head buried and his hands hanging on the tarot cards hesitantly, and one who was kneeling on one knee. Kneeling in front of the bar, clasping his hands and fingers against his forehead, he muttered something. He looked like he was occupying... Huh?
Look up at the blackboard above, and then look at the three soul-shifters dancing around with demons. They are not cheating on the outcome of the gambling game.
"It's not cheating. It's allowed to use power to predict, which is also part of the bet." Linda explained, "It's just that their bet is not public and is a secret bet. Ah, it's about to happen It’s about to start, fifteen minutes to prepare.”
The bar fell into silence, and even Linda lowered her voice subconsciously.
The three fortune tellers have already handed in a piece of paper one after another, especially the one who plays tarot cards, who revised it twice.
A bartender walked around the bar holding a glass test tube.
Lynch saw clearly that there was a large group of...mosquitoes trapped in the test tube.
Chameleon, mosquito. Lin Qi's expression was a little strange, and he realized what these people were betting on.
“Well, there are a total of twenty mosquitoes, seven lizards inside, including the first three lizards that have eaten mosquitoes, and how many of these three have eaten each. We have special sensing equipment to determine the remaining ones. The number of mosquitoes is unmistakable. In fact, it is similar to horse racing, except that it does not require such a large venue and players, and it is not suitable for ordinary people. I have never seen it in the world of ordinary people before."
< br>
Ordinary people don't play such a weird game. People with a slightly sane mind don't play this way. Betting on horses is at least better than betting on mosquitoes.
Lin Qi was thinking, the bartender had already opened the small hole in the glass cover and inserted the test tube, but he had not yet opened the seal of the test tube.
“After the meeting starts, you can use your power to influence the gambling situation. Until the result is announced, it depends on who has a higher level.”
"Hiss..." Lin Qi felt as if he had traveled through time in a Thousand Arts movie, watching a group of thousands of masters show off their magical powers, "Then, are the lizards competing, or the soul-shifters outside competing?"
"In front of money, is there any essential difference between humans and lizards?" Linda smiled, "This is what the boss here said."
Lynch He was stunned for a moment, savored this sentence carefully, and slowly showed a smile: "It makes sense, but if they interfere, what will happen to the previous divination results."
"If you can't take their actions into account, it's not a divination."
It makes sense and is completely impossible to refute.
Papa, someone from behind patted him. When he looked back, he saw that it was Officer Natalie who was back.
"Come with me, he has time. What happened just now? Nothing happened."
"It's nothing." Lin Qi smiled strangely, "Mr. Cui En even bought me a drink just now Well, I told him about my experience last night, and he praised me for telling it well."
"Hahaha, yes, Natalie, you are a good friend, and you can brag better than me. I just said that I can identify a strange object in one second and read the deep memories of a strange object in forty-five minutes, hahaha..."
"What he said was indeed inaccurate. To be precise, it was forty-three minutes and fifty seconds." Officer Natalie nodded seriously. "I have also reported the situation to Victor and am preparing to take him to see Wei. Here’s Kedo. Let’s go, Lynch, I’ll take you somewhere else later.”
The laughter in the bar stopped suddenly, and everyone looked between the bearded Cui En and Lynch. Wandering repeatedly.
Cui En opened his mouth and stared blankly at Lynch and Natalie. There was a gurgling sound in his throat. He wanted to say something but couldn't, and his face became increasingly red.
"I just said what I said is true. Why don't you believe it? Then, His Majesty Rudolf II, I will leave first. Thank you for the beer."
As he said that, Lynch raised his hat He bowed and followed Officer Natalie away.
The moment he left, violent laughter erupted behind him and lingered for a long time.
