"Oh no... We've been discovered by the other party. Brother Xia Yuan is in danger. We must inform Brother Xia Yuan and everyone in the Golden Courtyard of this news as soon as possible."
But Miss Ruler of Law has blocked the signal of the entire city, making it impossible for little Grayshu to send any information.
Then there is only one way now. Although I feel sorry for Brother Xia Yuan’s family, Grayshu will help rebuild it later.
"Please, Mr. Knight."
Chapter 436 Xiao Shi? Give me back my salary!
Miss Ruler originally wanted to equip all her puppets with electric drills and tear the wardrobe to pieces.
But then she thought that since the other party hid in the closet, he might have some connection with the owner of this house. She planned to catch him alive. This was really an unexpected surprise and gain. What good day was today?
No....we have to treat today as her lucky day.
boom--
But when Miss Ruler of Herrsch opened the closet, there was a loud bang.
What came into view was a wall that was chopped through and collapsed. Little Grayshu who was hiding in the closet had disappeared.
"Tsk, did she escape?"
The Ruler of Herrscher looked around at the broken wall. The loud noise naturally attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.
Perhaps it was because of Halloween, but the other party's joints, like those of a puppet, felt very realistic. Some people even came up to Miss Ruler of Herrscher and seemed to want to take a photo with her.
"........Enough, she is not meant to be visited by others!"
Looking at the pedestrians on the street who stopped to take photos and group photos, in order to prevent the noise from alerting the target person [Xia Yuan], the Ruler of Laws controlled all the people around her with silk threads.
Their eyes gradually became lifeless, and they looked like puppets being manipulated by strings.
"Go, find the little guy hiding in the closet alive."
She wanted to deploy her own spies and pawns throughout the city, and now was the time to focus on the most critical first step of the plan. For Miss Ruler who already had control over the city's network, searching for Xia Yuan's whereabouts was a piece of cake.
Miss Ruler of Law could clearly see from the virtual map in front of her that the small red dot representing [Xia Yuan] was moving at a constant speed.
"I found you~"
However, in order to get closer to the other party, she had to disguise herself.
The Lady Ruler was giving orders to the people on the road who were like puppets. Xia Yuan, who was walking farther and farther away, had no idea what was happening to his home at the moment. However, the loud noise coming from behind him still caught Xia Yuan's attention.
"Huh? What's that noise? It sounds like it's coming from near my home."
Just when Xia Yuan was considering whether to go home and visit, the vibrating communication device on his wrist received a message from Miss Hei Xi an hour ago, as if some unusual network delays and data fluctuations were occurring in the city at this moment.
"Hmm? Miss Hei Xi's message to me?"
[Hey, you bad guy, you actually did this with Bronya-sister so early in the morning, don’t you have any sense of shame! ]
[Also, I helped you escape this disaster and didn't let Xier find out. How are you going to thank me? ! ]
[You can't justify not treating me to chili cakes for several years, right? ]
"How do you thank the other person?"
"This girl... is really good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes. Of course, she let Xi'er continue to feed you until you are fatter, to the point where you need someone to help you get out of bed. But it seems that Xi'er's meals have fed you too well recently, Miss Hei Xi."
However, Xia Yuan was still very grateful that the other party did not let Seele see him and Bronya hiding in the closet.
[You can eat anything, and there's plenty of chili peppers! ]
However, when Xia Yuan wanted to send a message to Miss Hei Xi, the front end of the message kept spinning in circles.
"Strange... failed to send? Is the signal here bad?"
This shouldn't happen. This is the center of the city. The quality of the communication bracelet produced by the Destiny Research Institute shouldn't be that bad, right?
Looking around the street, there were all kinds of Halloween posters on the walls and pumpkin-like decorations hanging on the fences. Although it was not yet night, the Halloween atmosphere was already very strong. However, Xia Yuan always felt that the pedestrians on the street seemed to be secretly spying on him.
"Is there something dirty on your face?"
The gazes of passers-by made Xia Yuan speed up his pace. He felt uncomfortable as if he was being stared at by Dr. Mobius like a guinea pig.
Until he passed by a secret alley hidden off the street.
"Wow~ finally some business."
Upon hearing the footsteps, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly put on her sunglasses and coughed lightly in the tone of a fortune teller:
"Ahem... Sir, I see that your forehead is black, your eyes are dull, your lips are cracked, your tongue is burnt, and your spirit is scattered. I'm afraid you will have a bloody disaster today. Everything will go wrong. It's better to stop and listen to the words of the great Lady of the Herrscher of Knowledge. From this, you will have great fortune and avoid disasters."
When Xia Yuan passed by, a familiar voice echoed in his ears from the deep alley and did not dissipate for a long time.
"Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
When Xia Yuan stopped and turned his head to look, he saw an old acquaintance he didn't expect sitting cross-legged in front of a stall selling various groceries in the deep alley, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
"Xiaozhi?!"
This was truly an unexpected encounter, as he was worrying about not having enough money to visit Mei.
When Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge saw Xia Yuan, her sunglasses almost slipped off her cheek. She thought she was so unlucky that she didn't check the almanac before going out. How could she meet him in such a big city? She even wanted to slap herself a few times. Why didn't she look at the person clearly before speaking?
The Lady of the Herrscher of Knowledge turned around and wanted to pack up and run away, but she was a step too late. Xia Yuan had already come behind her and grabbed her wrist.
"Xiao Shi, I will never let you escape again this time. Return my hard-earned money!"
"Sir, please let go. You have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Old Antique. I am not some unknown person. I may just look a little like someone you know."
"Do you think I would believe such nonsense? You are a conscienceless black-hearted businessman, a profiteer!
"I think the one with the black forehead is you, Xiao Shi. Why don't I tell you your fortune? If you don't see my hard-earned money today, you will be the one who will suffer a bloody disaster. You can either pay back the money or pay off the debt with your body."
Alley, two people, blood, debt repayment.
The face of the Herrscher of Knowledge, who had absorbed the contemporary intangible cultural heritage, suddenly turned red, and she turned around and strongly condemned:
"You're a pervert, aren't you? You don't even let children go. You know, I was born not long ago. Aren't you afraid that fate will catch you if you do this?"
"I just know you? Tsk~"
"Hey, sir, what's that look in your eyes?"
Realizing the disdain in the other party's expression, Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge became furious.
Chapter 437 You, you don’t know the current situation!
Is it she who can decide her own physical development?
This is all the fault of that old antique. She has lived for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years, but her body remains the same without any change. But if there is no change, then there is no change. Don't implicate her... She is clearly still in the process of growing up.
But right now, it is only natural to pay back debts.
Shibao realized that he was in the wrong, and his bluffing momentum weakened a little. Then, as if he had no way to do anything to Xia Yuan, he fumbled out something from the black package bag he was carrying.
"Okay, okay, sir, I'm really afraid of you, I really don't have any money right now.
"Sir, even if you sell me, you still can't repay me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be reduced to setting up a stall here to cheat people... wait for a kind-hearted person passing by to take all my goods. But I can give you a peerless magic weapon to ensure that you can get through today safely."
"Good man, are you sure you are not a fool? Forget it...what peerless magic weapon? Take it out and let us have a look."
The words of the Herrscher of Knowledge aroused Xia Yuan's curiosity, and he motioned her to take it out first. After all, she was a Herrscher of the first generation, so she must have some hidden treasures. But when Xia Yuan saw the Herrscher of Knowledge take out a suspicious object that looked like a brick from the package...
He subconsciously moved a little further away from the other party's package, keeping a distance from Shibao that was enough for him to dodge.
"Isn't the other party trying to take advantage of this opportunity to knock me out with this brick and then get away with it?"
"Hey... Sir, I can hear your true feelings. The great Lady Herrscher of Knowledge is not that kind of person. This is the peerless magic weapon I just mentioned."
"You call a brick a magic weapon? Who are you trying to fool, Xiaoshi? Do I look like someone who can be easily fooled?"
Xia Yuan looked at the bricks that Xiao Shi had just taken out of the package. On the black and white bricks were carved patterns of thumbs pointing downwards from the opponent, as if mocking that all those who were her enemies were weak and there was no one who could beat her.
"Sir, you are ignorant of current affairs!
"I spent a lot of time and effort to refine this. If it weren't for your constant insistence, how could I give you such a handy weapon?"
"Then Xiaoshi, just pay me back, isn't that enough?"
Seeing Xia Yuan's distrustful look, Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge quickly changed the subject:
"Ahem... Sir, don't think it's just a brick now. That's just one of its forms. It's just more convenient for me to use. It's not a real thing. It has a myriad of changes and can instantly transform into any weapon in your mind. Sir, take it~"
After saying that, the Lady of the Herrscher of Knowledge threw the brick in her hand towards Xia Yuan.
Looking at the brick thrown at him, Xia Yuan subconsciously put his hands in front of him to protect himself. It was during this gap that the Lady of the Herrscher of Consciousness suddenly had an idea and disappeared without a trace, leaving only her voice echoing in the alley.
"Now, sir, we are even now. We owe each other nothing. And if you find it useful, please remember to give me a five-star rating."
Looking at the brick in his hand and the disappearing Xiao Shi, Xia Yuan felt a faint bitterness in his heart. Could this brick be worth all the savings he had accumulated over the years... Was he being cheated by Xiao Shi again?
There was even a gap on the corner of the brick. The bumpy edges made it difficult for Xia Yuan to avoid unnecessary associations. He now seriously suspected that the other party had secretly taken this brick from a construction site.
"Forget it, forget it. Just for psychological comfort, this brick can barely protect me."
Perhaps Xiao Shi was right in one thing. Something was indeed going to happen today. The feeling of being spied on and secretly watched on the street just now made Xia Yuan more alert. Even when he entered the alley, the feeling of being watched did not disappear.
This made Xia Yuan realize a fact: he was being followed.
Weighing the brick given by Xiao Shi in his hand, Xia Yuan did not expect that it would come in handy so soon. He planned to take the initiative and strike first.
Therefore, after quietly observing the buildings around the alley... Xia Yuan slowly walked to the corner as if nothing had happened, and lay in ambush close to the wall, waiting for the guy who was following him to sneak up on him before giving him a head-on blow.
creak creak-
"coming......"
Hearing the sound coming from the opposite side getting closer and closer, Xia Yuan always felt that it was not like the sound of someone's footsteps, but rather a bit like the sound of a puppet's gears turning. But no matter what, he would just beat the other party first.
Xia Yuan was hiding in the corner, eager to try, and raised the brick in his hand high up. But when he was about to hit the other party, he found that the person following him was a little blonde girl in a pure white dress and a ponytail.
"?!"
Seeing the other person's appearance, Xia Yuan couldn't help but stand there in a daze with the brick held high.
The Ruler Lady, disguised as a little girl, looked up at the little head. When she noticed the brick in Xia Yuan's hand, she immediately spoke in a tender and soft voice: "Big brother, are you holding the brick in your hand to knock Lily unconscious and take her home to play house?"
"Ah... Sorry, I scared you. I thought someone with bad intentions was following me secretly."
Looking at the brick in his hand, perhaps worried that it would scare the little girl named Lily in front of him, Xia Yuan quickly put it back behind him. As it was not a real object, it might have sensed the current owner's thoughts and immediately changed into a rope and wrapped around Xia Yuan's waist.
"Have bad intentions? Um... Big Brother, do you think Lily has bad intentions and has ulterior motives towards you?"
The Ruler lady disguised as a little girl opened her big watery eyes, her expression was full of innocence and thin tears, as if she would cry in the next second. Seeing that she was about to cry, Xia Yuan hurriedly comforted her:
"How could that be? How could my big brother possibly think that a cute girl like you, Lily, would have any ulterior motives?"
"Really? Is Lily really that cute?"
"Of course it's cute."
"Then big brother, you are not allowed to lie to Lily. If you lie to Lily, Lily will make you into a puppet~"
I don't know why......
Xia Yuan suddenly felt a chill. Was it his illusion?
"How could my big brother lie to you, Lily? Now that you are dressed up beautifully, Lily is really cute."
Chapter 438: No candy, trick or treat~
"Then is Lily not cute without her pretty face?"
Miss Ruler of Herrscher deliberately pretended to be very innocent and looked at the other party.
"Of course it's cute, but Lily, why did you come to such a remote alley by yourself? Your parents would be worried if they knew."
Xia Yuan quickly changed the subject. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a little blonde girl.
However, he seemed to have heard the name Lily somewhere a long time ago, but he could not remember it. Perhaps it was because he had been in a coma for half a month, and some of his memories had become vague.
Miss Ruler did not directly answer Xia Yuan's question, but instead asked him:
