Chapter 18 The Path of Myth
Xiao En now has two solutions.
The first one is to find the wallet by himself, but he is not familiar with the place, so it may be quite difficult.
The second is to call the police.
Xiao En chose the latter and called the police directly.
Of course, the police alone may not be able to get the wallet back, because this matter involves a transcendent, so Xiao En took out the ID from the lining pocket of his clothes.
——Investigator-Shaun.
He was accidentally stolen because of his habits in his previous life. He always likes to put his wallet in his pants pocket to make it easier to take it out. If it is put together with the ID, it will be less easy for the thief to succeed.
After seeing the double-headed eagle emblem on the ID, the originally casual patrol officer suddenly became serious.
"Mr."
"Please wait a moment, I will notify the police station immediately." The policeman in front of him looked a little nervous.
The emblem on the document is a bit like the eagle flag of the Roman Empire, but it is a double-headed eagle mark with sword and shield patterns on both sides, and the scepter and crown are reflected in the background. It is a quite complicated emblem.
The identity of the investigator is rather special. He is a non-officially recognized establishment outside the police system and has certain special powers.
About half an hour later.
A man in his mid-twenties, who looked a bit unshaven, came over. With a sleepy look, he stretched out his hand towards Xiao En and said: "William Wallace."
"Mr. Sean, please wait a moment. The captain will be here soon."
The guy in front of him has the same name as a historical figure. When Xiao En shook hands with him, he felt the roughness of his palms, which was similar to the roughness of his palms. The palms are rough and the calluses are concentrated at the tiger's mouth.
This is the palm of a warrior.
Night Watch.
The Extraordinary Organization of the Kingdom of Dorne is also an organization that is not officially recognized. Unlike investigators, they are a group of people responsible for solving problems.
As an investigator, Xiao En is more about discovering problems and swaying people. Solving problems is the duty of the night watchman.
William Wallace looked like he had not woken up. He bought a burrito with meat for 7 Seth and ate it while walking: "Can you tell me what happened?"
Xiao En told what happened.
After finishing his lunch in several bites, the other party looked up and said, "Can you tell me how much money you have in your wallet?"
Xiao En replied: "More than two thousand nine hundred dinars."
William looked like it was no wonder he was like this, and nodded: "No wonder they would take the risk to attack you."
"Are you sure the other party is a transcendent?"
Xiao En nodded.
His senses are very keen, and the other party is definitely a transcendent, and he should be promoted soon.
"That's strange." William frowned.
Each of the twelve mythological paths has different abilities. The mythical path is closer to a concept. There is also a corresponding promotion sequence below. In the dark age, it was called a professional, and now it refers to a transcendent. Many low-sequence extraordinary beings look similar to ordinary people, but their physical fitness is much higher, making it difficult to tell them apart.
Xiao En, a spellcasting sequence that belongs to the mythical path, has more supernatural abilities as soon as he is promoted, and he can discover them immediately once he casts them.
A low-sequence rogue, you won’t be able to tell if he doesn’t show his abilities.
William looked at Xiao En, who looked confused, and explained: "It seems that a lot of low-sequence extraordinary beings have appeared recently. We are investigating the source of the matter."
Extraordinary Persons Unable to advance on one's own.
Because the extraordinary essence of the weird kingdom is locked, just like Ms. Hecate said, extraordinary people are a group of thieves, and the extraordinary essence they possess comes from the ancient indescribable.
The real world is an isolated country. The twelve realms of Nirvana and the miracles of the world isolate the weird country from the real world.
This means that most people are unlikely to come into contact with the transcendent essence in their lifetime.
Unless someone brings it in from outside.
Many people here probably don’t know what exists outside the real world.
"The captain is here." William said solemnly.
Benjamin Tilian, who was in charge of receiving Xiao En this morning, appeared across the street. After he greeted Xiao En, he immediately said: "I have sent people to investigate the gangs in the port area."< br>
“They may come from the Mole Gang, which has become famous recently.”
“The leader is a guy named Hans, who was once sentenced to six years in prison for grave robbing.”
< br>Benjamin carefully took out a stack of change, handed it to Xiao En and said: "Mr. Xiao En, leave this matter to us."
"I should be able to get your wallet back soon."
The other party was afraid that Xiao En would not have any money and it would be inconvenient to go back.
A very careful person. Xiao En did not reach out to take the money, but whispered: "Is it convenient for me to go together?"
Benjamin Tilian thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That would be great. ”
Xiao En's current identity is an investigator.
If he wants to adapt to this world, he will have to be exposed to these things sooner or later.
Instead of passively accepting, it is better to take the initiative.
Old Town.
A thin figure shuttled through the dark alley, quickly bypassing a pile of low and messy goods, and got into a room on the first floor underground. Due to the terrain, the residential area on the left side of the dock area is relatively short, and the houses in the lower city area are built in steps downwards, all the way to the river valley.
"Did you succeed?" A deep male voice sounded.
The speaker was a bearded middle-aged man with sinister eyes and slightly yellowish cloudy eyes, playing with a dagger in front of him.
"Yeah." A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked in with his waist down, followed by a young man.
The young man smiled quite proudly and said: "I didn't expect to catch such a fat sheep so early in the morning."
"But he was very alert and almost let him slip away. ”
The young man took out Xiao En's wallet, placed it in front of the middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice: "Head. That guy is very skilled, we won't get into trouble, right?"
The middle-aged man greedily said He picked up the wallet and said, "We will be in big trouble if we don't pay the mistress."
A total of more than 2,900 dinars.
This is a lot of income. According to the salary of formal workers in the shipyard, they need to work without food or water for more than nine months. If they want to save such a sum of money, they need at least one month. Two years' time.
The young man was still a little uneasy and said: "Few people carry so many 100 dinar bills."
According to the current market price, 3,000 dinars can buy an old house with one bedroom and one living room in the old city. The salary of many white-collar employees is only about 500 dinars per month. They hang out at the dock. Except for Xiao En, the fat sheep, the biggest deal they made this year was only more than a thousand dinars.
If you steal from ordinary workers, traders and civilians, it will basically be just a few dozen dinars in income. Very few people in the old city carry so much money.
Most workers in the dock area are paid on the 12th. Some workers will take the money home, and their theft results will be more brilliant that day.
Twenty-nine 100 dinar bills, six or seven old 10 dinar bills, plus a little change.
The middle-aged man picked up a banknote that smelled like ink and smelled it. There was a trace of intoxication in his eyes and said: "It's a new banknote."
"Probably a kid from a rich family."
"I've been avoiding the police lately."
He took out two big bills and handed them to the young man in front of him, and then took out another big bill and threw it into the boy's head. In front of them, he said in a deep voice: "This is your share."
The other two people were a little dissatisfied with this distribution result, but they looked fearful and did not dare to speak directly.
The middle-aged man put away his wallet, stared at them fiercely and said, "Don't think that I will keep it for myself. All this money has to be paid off."
After saying that, he picked up the dagger and walked into the small room inside.
As soon as he entered the room, the bearded man took out his wallet, took out ten 100 dinar bills, put them into his pocket, then opened a safe and said viciously: "A bunch of bastards Unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.”
“Without me, are you worthy of being extraordinary?”
The safe is empty.
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and the next second he immediately opened the drawer on the right, pulled out the dagger from his waist with one hand, and took out an old pistol with the other hand.
The lights in the small room flickered on and off.
Before he could clearly see the situation in front of him, he felt that his hand was empty, and the pistol he was holding had disappeared. He swung the dagger and stabbed behind him, but his wrist was pinched easily, and then the dagger was It also fell to the ground. The slender figure behind him lightly hooked his toes, and the sharp dagger was placed across the bearded man's neck.
“These are considered interest.” A charming and sweet female voice sounded.
A slender arm with dark skin slowly took out the wallet, and then emptied the bearded pocket. The skin, which was like black jade, was extremely delicate and shone like black jade under the light. .
"Mistress?" The bearded man's voice trembled slightly, and he said with fear in surprise: "What do you look like?!"
A pair of bright red eyes were reflected on the small mirror on the opposite wall. They were changing slightly, with a hint of purple in the irises.
Her long, snow-white hair made her skin darker and darker, reflecting the shimmer of light like beautiful jade.
The bearded man remembered that the last time he saw the other person, she was not what she looked like now.
“I was promoted.” The woman called ‘Mother’ took away Xiao En’s wallet.
She took away all the valuables in the safe, then stepped back gracefully and gradually disappeared into the shadows.
The bearded man was covered in cold sweat. He stared at the mirror in front of him. The moment the other party's figure disappeared, he saw an extremely charming face and a pair of long, narrow and pointed ears.
The last time I saw her, she was still human, but not anymore.
