Chapter 2 The Phantom Troupe
The time has reached zero, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Antique shop.
Morrow kept the beauty properly.
This beauty is his biggest mistake in recent times. With a little work, he can sell it for a good price.
The store's revenue method is roughly the same.
However, most of the proceeds from the shop will be handed over to Melena, while Moreau pays more attention to the thoughts left on antiques or handmade artworks.
Putting the box containing the beauty into the cabinet, Moreau closed the cabinet door, turned to look at the closed door, and then looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past zero.
“It’s time for Sai Xin to come back.”
Thinking that his cattle and horse employees would be back soon, Moreau started to boil a pot of water.
PH Sai Xin is the only employee in his store. He works hard and never complains. He never has any rebellious mentality and is particularly easy to exploit.
Morrow assigned Sai Xin to meet with a client in the morning. If nothing else happens, he should be able to bring back several pieces of handmade art later.
At present, the first annual ring is full. Although there is no movement, Morrow will still try to continue to absorb the thought energy to see if he can light up the second annual ring.
In any case, even if antiques or works of art lose the spirit that surrounds them, the sale value will not be affected.
Morrow made tea with boiling water, put it into Sai Xin's thermos cup, and then sat on the sofa.
等赛信回来,先看看收来的东西有没有念气……
然后就是连夜跑路了。
I just don’t know what Sai Xin will choose.
Should you firmly show your attitude of following, or should you take the money and break up?
Judging from that guy’s character, it’s probably the former.
Morrow's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the door that was beaten loudly by the rain.
Time passes silently.
Half an hour later, there was suddenly some other movement among the sound of wind and rain.
Morrow heard the sound and knew that Sai Xin was back, so he stood up with a faint smile on his face.
The door creaked——
The door was pushed open.
A tall man with thick features walked into the store quite casually.
The visitor is none other than Sai Xin.
His black suit was already soaked by the rain, and he was carrying two boxes in his hands.
"Boss, big harvest!"
Sai Xin closed the door with his backhand, an excited smile on his slightly rough face.
Morrow glanced at Sai Xin's right foot entering the store without leaving any trace, and the smile on his face faltered slightly.
But he quickly returned to normal and pointed to the countertop under the cupboard, where there was a thermos cup that he had filled with tea in advance.
"Thank you for your hard work, I made tea for you."
"Hey, the boss is always so considerate, no wonder the two sisters next door are so fascinated by you."
Saixin put down the box containing the goods and walked over with a smile on his face.
Morrow raised his eyebrows slightly, not paying attention to Sai Xin's teasing, and asked casually: "Why are you coming back so late."
"The rain was too heavy, and we were stuck in traffic for a long time on the way back."
Sai Xin picked up the thermos cup, opened it and took a sip of tea.
"Well, this rain... is quite heavy."
Morrow looked at Sai Xin's side with calm eyes, and took out a pistol from his waist.
Although he and Sai Xin both have abilities, they usually carry pistols with them.
In many cases, pistols can play a lot of roles.
For example, at this moment——
Mo Luohu raised his gun and pointed it at Sai Xin's side.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three consecutive shots.
The first shot was deliberately missed, and the next two shots were aimed at Sai Xin's lower back.
Sai Xin's pupils shrank and he jumped away, narrowly avoiding the bullet aimed at his lower back.
"Boss?"
After dodging the bullet, he looked at Moreau with some confusion.
What greeted him was an elbow from Moreau who came close to him.
The confused look on Sai Xin's face quickly faded, and he raised his arms to block at the last moment.
Bang.
The elbows and arms collided with a heavy muffled sound.
The power of hedging, with the blessing of thought energy, vibrates out a circle of air current visible to the naked eye.
Sai Xin finally lost the opportunity. Although he blocked the elbow attack at the last moment, he was still beaten back.
He retreated all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window. His body did not touch the glass, but his external Nian Qi, which was in an attack state, did.
Hush.
Under the invasion of thoughts, the entire floor-to-ceiling window shattered, and the wind and rain outside suddenly poured in.
Saixin turned his back to the wind and rain outside, looked at Morrow who suddenly took action with an expressionless face, and asked: "How did you find out?"
"At first I just had a question mark in my heart."
Moreau raised his gun at Saixin, frowned and said: "But now it's confirmed."
"Hey."
Saixin showed a slightly naive smile and understood the reason why Moreau deliberately missed the shot when he took action.
Morrow's frown deepened, and he said coldly: "Put away your poor imitation."
"It's really frustrating, I think I disguised myself very well."
Sai Xin slowly put away his smile and asked curiously: "So, what went wrong that made you realize that something was wrong in such a short period of time."
His answer was not a joke.
Because Sai Xin is a staunch proponent of divination, he will nervously predict fortune one day in advance every time.
Today, after midnight, Sai Xin’s divination result is——
Whether going out or entering the house, you must put your left foot first, otherwise you will encounter bad luck frequently in the coming week.
Ask Moreau why he is so clear.
The reason is that Sai Xin tirelessly shares everything about divination with him every day in an attempt to get him to join the world of divination.
Sai Xin didn't know the secret, he just thought that Moreau was perfunctory, and said expressionlessly: "Oh, really..."
"Bang, bang, bang—!"
Morrow suddenly emptied the magazine, and amid the violent gunfire, bullets were fired at Sai Xin.
A trace of anger arose in Sai's confidence. As he swung his body, he avoided the oncoming bullets and at the same time distanced himself.
Based on the information he received, he knew that the owner of this antique shop was an enhancement type, so after taking action for the second time, his decision was to first distance himself.
On the one hand, he no longer gives Moreau a chance to get close to him, and on the other hand, he waits for his companions to come forward.
More importantly——
His transformation ability requires a little time and space when it is released.
In addition, if the transformation ability is not released, he will not be able to mobilize 100% of his manifest energy.
Sai Xin retreated to the street, expecting that Moreau would chase him out, but he saw that Moreau was still staying in the store after emptying the bullet, as if the strong desire to attack before was just a symptom.
Very conservative and cautious in character...
Sai Xinxin thought, and immediately smiled. In this way, the transformation can be canceled directly.
While thinking, Sai Xin stood in the heavy rain, raising his left hand high, his index finger turning rhythmically, and humming a little tune at the same time.
Antique shop.
Morrow threw away his pistol, and then saw the behavior of the impostor Sai Xin. He was confused at first, and then quickly realized that the other party should be disabling the ability to imitate and transform.
Under his gaze, he saw the body of the counterfeit Sai Xin surging and spinning.
In just a second or two, the appearance and body of the counterfeit Sai Xin suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.
Instead, there was a bald man with no upper body and only wearing boxers.
The man's figure is slightly smaller than Xi Xin's, and his body is covered with holes of varying sizes.
Morrow's pupils trembled as he looked at the man who had released his ability.
Phantom Troupe's...
Flaying Lev?
