As a travel photographer, how could I afford to buy an entire stall of antiques?
Therefore, Wei Haoyuan's investigation progressed slowly and even reached a deadlock, until...
Wei Haoyuan discovered that other people were also investigating Fang Hu.
The rumor about the Fang Hu was actually spread by Wei Haoyuan, but it was not intentional. It was spread when he asked other stall owners to confirm it. Later, out of selfishness, Wei Haoyuan even deliberately concealed the news about the Fang Hu. But now the investigation has reached an impasse, and other people have been involved, and the other party even seemed to be rich...
So, it’s not impossible to cooperate?
So in the end, after careful consideration, Wei Haoyuan sent the photo.
But of course, before cooperating, Wei Haoyuan had to investigate the other party's financial resources first. After all, he had the clues, and he would only cooperate with that person if he had enough financial resources to buy the entire stall. Otherwise, there was no need to share this......
Opportunities to engage with the supernatural.
191. I don’t know whether this plan is a success or a failure.
In fact, this is not the first time Wei Haoyuan has heard of "supernatural events".
During a long journey, it is inevitable to encounter some strange things, such as the mysterious legends of Tibet, and the chaos of evil spirits. However, those "supernatural events" in the past often just stopped at "hearing". Never before have we been able to get so close to them, and almost completely grasp them in our hands like today!
Therefore, Wei Haoyuan was very careful in choosing his partners. After meeting the other party, he tried every means to find out the other party's true financial situation, but...
In Meng Xiao's opinion, this behavior undoubtedly made him look like a liar.
If you don't want my money, then why do you keep trying to find out about my financial situation?
This is because Meng Xiao is bored and wants to have some fun with this liar, and see if he can trick him out and bring him to justice and hand him over to the police. That's why he didn't give up immediately. Otherwise, Meng Xiao would have given up immediately when the two of them came into contact.
You want to deceive me with just a photo?
Meng Xiao went to that stall, but there was no golden square pot at all. Meng Xiao even smelled it at the surrounding stalls, but no one said they had seen it - instead, someone came to ask the same question not long ago.
I wonder if that was a scammer who planned it in advance?
With this in mind, Meng Xiao could naturally relax and even jokingly tease the liar. Even when the other party asked for "capital verification", Meng Xiao, who was determined to play big, cooperated with the other party's various requests. In the end, the other party seemed to have confirmed that he wanted to target Meng Xiao and finally asked for an offline meeting.
Fishing success!
But of course, Meng Xiao would definitely not go into danger alone. What if the other party got angry and tried to kidnap him after failing to defraud him? Then he would have nowhere to cry. So Meng Xiao asked to choose the meeting place himself, and he chose a ramen restaurant opposite the local police station.
Of course, it seems a bit strange to meet in a ramen restaurant offline, but the problem is that there is only a ramen restaurant opposite the police station in this small city, and there is no place like a coffee shop...
Oh, there is a Snow King, but unfortunately there is no place to sit. Two people can eat a bowl of ramen with a glass of lemonade each and stand at the door while drinking and chatting.
......
Unexpectedly, the other party did not refuse the meeting place chosen by Meng Xiao, and it seemed that he had no intention of using force. Of course, it was also possible that he was very confident in himself and felt that he could definitely fool Meng Xiao?
In short, at the agreed time and place, Meng Xiao and Wei Haoyuan, two people with their own thoughts, finally met.
Then......
"Uh... So, you want me to pay for the entire stall?"
Meng Xiao slurped his ramen and looked in surprise at the man in front of him who was the same age as him but actually looked more than ten years older than him. He curled his lips.
Too much pepper...
However, all this effort was in vain, and in the end, this guy looks like just a hired gun for an antique dealer who sells fakes?
I thought I had encountered some professional fraud gang, and was thinking of using myself as bait to catch a big one, but in the end, they tricked me into buying antiques?
I'm familiar with this routine. I've been cheated so many times!
After learning the truth, Meng Xiao instantly lost interest in continuing to play and planned to leave, not even planning to drink the Snow King lemonade. However, Wei Haoyuan seemed to have noticed Meng Xiao's lack of interest. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still didn't intend to give up this "accomplice" in front of him who had been verified and did have enough financial resources.
So he gritted his teeth and handed his camera to Meng Xiao.
"As for whether what I said is true or not, you can actually verify it yourself. This is a camera. You can take pictures to confirm whether I have tampered with the camera. Then... take the camera and take pictures yourself and try it!"
"..."
His eyes shifted from the bowl filled with red oil to the camera that Wei Haoyuan placed on the table. Meng Xiao coughed lightly, then glanced at the camera with a slightly suspicious look.
Can the camera be manipulated to achieve the kind of magical effect this guy describes?
I'm not a camera person, so I don't know, but just to be on the safe side...
"Okay, I'll go and verify it with you, but I won't use your camera. I'll buy a few to try."
Reaching out to push Wei Haoyuan's camera back, Meng Xiao chose to buy a few cameras himself to verify it - go to a few different places and buy a few more. This scammer can't be so powerful that he can collude with all the digital equipment sellers, right?
If he really had this ability, he wouldn't have used such a low-level trick to deceive himself.
After making up their minds, the two quickly took a taxi to the local "Computer City" which specializes in digital devices - it seems that many digital device stores in small cities are called this name?
When two men go shopping it's always terribly fast, especially when they have a set destination in mind. So after walking around several floors, selecting several different shops, and each buying a digital camera, the two soon set off again, leaving the computer city and going to the antique street.
Although it was already afternoon, there were fewer people walking around the antique street, and many stall owners were leaning on something or simply lying down to take a nap, but fortunately the stall that the two of them were most concerned about was not closed - so Meng Xiao picked up the camera without hesitation and took pictures of the stalls that Wei Haoyuan pointed to one by one.
If all these cameras can't capture it...
Then I’ll book the entire stall immediately!
......
......
Of course, at this time he had already returned to Japan. Su Su, who was far away in Tokyo, obviously did not know that his carefully designed Beidou plan was discovered to be abnormal by two ordinary guys just a few days after he returned to Japan.
But...
In fact, even if I noticed it, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal?
Anyway, they will still be their source of information. Even if they really realize that there is a problem with the base, they will not associate it with themselves who are far away in another country.
At most, ten kilograms of gold were lost! And now Su Su...
I'm not short of money.
After returning to Japan, Su Su almost immediately plunged into the work of maintaining the belt to make money. The Japanese were obviously very happy about Su Su's return. It seemed that Su Su's return gave them an illusion that Su Su would rather stay in Japan than in China?
Almost immediately, someone came to lobby Su Su, promising him a lot of benefits, trying to trick him into becoming a citizen - Su Su politely declined with a gentle smile, but in fact he was cursing him in his heart as an idiot.
I'm not in China because the situation there is too complicated. Just a box of double experience pills is scary enough. God knows how many extraordinary people there are in China now?
Besides, if I want to cause trouble, I definitely won’t do it at home. If I do it outside, even if something goes wrong, it will only bring trouble to others. I can’t do whatever I want at home - why do you think I’m mentally ill because of this?
Humph, if I get the chance, I’ll steal your strongest Valkyrie and bring her back to my country!
Oh, no, he has already got it - this time when he returned to China, Su Su got all the information needed for his cross-border marriage. He didn't even need to fill out forms at the embassy. He could just take the information to Huajianyuan to register. It's just that he was too busy these few days after returning, so he could only let Huajianyuan wait a little longer.
To be honest, the knights seemed to be holding back their anger during the days when Su Su was away, and as soon as Su Su came back, they immediately flocked to him. Perhaps it was during the days when Su Su was away that his identity finally began to spread among ordinary knights, so many wild knights also came to him.
Although they are wild knights, these knights generally work for certain large consortiums and nobles. These consortium nobles are obviously willing to provide some help to the super-powered bodyguards to make them stronger, and at the same time use these favors to tie the other party firmly to their own chariots. Therefore, to date, Su Su has never received the most basic maintenance of ten kilograms of gold.
All of them are top-level services starting from 30 kilograms of gold!
The only pity is that Su Su only has two hands, he is not Nezha - so even if it is operating at full capacity, there are still a large number of knights queuing up. It is foreseeable that when Su Su "maintains" all these knights' belts, all the knights so far will be successfully engraved by himself!
By then, I will be a true "Knight God", able to monitor the positions of all knights in real time. Maybe when my skills evolve further in the future, I will even have more incredible abilities...
......
But strictly speaking, not all knights went to find Su Su.
For example, the "Knight of Judgment", who currently enjoys the highest title among the knights, has never actually gone to Su Su to upgrade his belt - in fact, Haruta Masayoshi has not appeared in Tokyo for a long time.
One reason was because of the agreement he had made with the Sheriff - when the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred, as a rescue participant, he had agreed with the Sheriff that the Super Power Unit would not pursue the matter of him killing the Coward in public and taking his belt, but in exchange, he could no longer easily set foot in Tokyo again.
And secondly...
In Haruta Masayoshi's opinion, Tokyo is currently a place where storms converge. Many knights gather in Tokyo, and official forces, civilian forces and lone rangers are constantly fighting. That kind of place is actually not suitable for him - in that kind of place, villains dare not do evil easily, and justice cannot be smoothly upheld.
So instead of diving into the quagmire of Tokyo, Haruta Masayoshi would rather wander around other places, punishing evil and promoting good, eradicating cults, and killing those who cause chaos in the name of knights.
But recently, Haruta Masayoshi discovered something that confused and frightened him - that is, his belt...
It seems like it is slowly becoming unresponsive to me?!
192. The Convicted Knights Enter the Capital
Since he has always been away from the "mainstream circle" of Tokyo, Haruta Masayoshi is not very clear about what is happening in Tokyo, and his acquisition of information is quite delayed - basically he knows everything through discussions on the Internet and media reports.
Just like the phenomenon of magical energy emergence, Haruta Masayoshi has not even known about it so far, let alone participated in it.
However, the intelligence he obtained before leaving still left Haruta Masayoshi with the impression that the situation in Tokyo was turbulent and the forces of various parties were mixed and chaotic, so Haruta Masayoshi deliberately avoided Tokyo.
But now, he had to go to Tokyo - because his belt was becoming less and less responsive.
Speaking of which, the belt's response becoming increasingly weak is not a recent phenomenon. In fact, as early as a month ago, Haruta Masayoshi discovered that his belt seemed to be becoming increasingly weaker in boosting his own performance.
However, Haruta Masayoshi didn't take it too seriously at the time. He just thought that it was because of running around to eliminate the cult, long distances and frequent battles that made his physical condition worse. He could recover after resting for a while, but...
What Haruta Masayoshi didn't expect was that this situation became more and more serious afterwards. The power provided by the belt to him became less and less, and even not long ago, the belt completely stopped responding to him!
There is no doubt that this made Haruta Masayoshi panic instantly.
Although as a self-awakened knight, Haruta Masayoshi has the strength comparable to that of a first-level knight even without the belt, the amplification of the belt is unquestionable. Only with the amplification of the belt can Haruta Masayoshi use his signature white armor covering his entire body as a Knight of Judgment.
Not to mention, even outside of Tokyo, one can occasionally encounter other knights who have also escaped from Tokyo and are now bullying the countryside. Without the enhancement of the belt, Haruta Masayoshi would even have a hard time dealing with these knights!
The only thing to be thankful for is that Haruta Masayoshi's reputation as the "Knight of Judgment" is quite deterrent, and he has two assistants. With the belt he snatched from Naoki, Haruta Masayoshi's childhood sweetheart Funasako also successfully became a knight and followed Haruta Masayoshi. Later, in a crackdown on a cult, Haruta Masayoshi and Funasako once again killed a "first-generation knight" and gave the stolen belt to a little girl who was rescued at the same time.
Therefore, it is still enough to deal with some ordinary evils. In recent online rumors, some people saw the Knight of Conviction followed by two knights. This is where the rumors came from.
But relying on the power of others is not as reliable as relying on one's own. The weakening of power always makes Haruta Masayoshi feel uneasy. Therefore, after the belt finally stopped responding to him not long ago, Haruta Masayoshi finally decided to go to Tokyo by himself!
Although even after arriving in Tokyo, Haruta Masayoshi didn't know how to try to reawaken his belt, as it was a place where people with super powers gathered, the possibility of solving the problem there was obviously much higher than wandering around outside Tokyo.
It's just...
"Saeko, listen to me. I really don't dislike your low strength, but the Knight of Judgment must be outside of Tokyo - so you and Eriko stay here, and don't go too far during this period of time. Pretend that I'm still here, and I can only go to Tokyo to find a solution by myself."
At Funasaiko's home, Haruta Masayoshi put his hands on her shoulders and looked at Funasako who was angry and seemed to be about to refute. He looked a little headache and showed a helpless expression.
Although the Knight of Judgment may seem majestic, cold, even violent and bloodthirsty to outsiders, in fact, Haruta Masayoshi has never been able to do anything to Funasako.
Even her belt was "stolen" by her.
Haruta Masayoshi has always been a little afraid of this girl who has such passionate feelings for him. After all, on the one hand, Haruta Masayoshi believes that he really has no romantic feelings for the girl, but on the other hand, the girl's persistence makes it difficult for Haruta Masayoshi to ignore.
So we can only continue to get along in this vague and unclear way.
And it is precisely because of this that Haruta Masayoshi finds it difficult to deal with girls. Just like this time, because of the agreement with the police, Haruta Masayoshi cannot show up in Tokyo openly, so he plans to let Saeko and Eriko stay outside Tokyo, pretending that he is still outside, and then sneak into Tokyo himself.
Eriko is the little girl who was rescued when the cult was destroyed. She is fifteen years old. Maybe she is the youngest knight now?
However, Funasako was strongly opposed to this. After all, the last time Haruta Masayoshi went to Tokyo alone without hesitation was when he was not a psychic. And that time Haruta Masayoshi came back with almost fatal injuries and became a wanted criminal. If Funasako hadn't found him, he would probably have died that time.
Not to mention that Haruta Masayoshi is now having problems with his belt.
If Haruta Masayoshi's strength was still there, then Funa Saeko would not actually object so much. After all, the strength of the Knight of Judgment is recognized as strong. But the problem is that now Haruta Masayoshi's belt no longer responds to him. He has a powerful title but no matching strength. Isn't this obviously more dangerous?
What if you get involved in some inexplicable battle and get beaten or killed?
What if his identity is discovered and someone wants to challenge him and step on his name to get to the top?
just in case......
In short, Funasako firmly disagrees with Haruta Masayoshi going to Beijing alone!
Unless you take yourself with you!
But unfortunately, Haruta Masayoshi has made up his mind this time - although it is difficult to deal with Funa Saeko, Haruta Masayoshi will not easily change his mind, and just as Saeko is worried about him, Haruta Masayoshi also does not want Saeko to go to Tokyo with him to take risks.
Therefore, he reached out and pressed Saeko's shoulder again, took a deep breath, and looked at Funa Saeko who turned her head away in a sullen manner, and Haruta Masayoshi's voice became low.
"Saeko, I know you're worried about me, but... this is an agreement between me and the police, the 'Knight of Judgment' cannot appear in Tokyo - the Knight of Judgment is not just me, but you and me, and even Eriko, so as long as the two of you are outside of Tokyo, the 'Knight of Judgment' will be outside of Tokyo, and I will only enter Tokyo as Haruta Masayoshi, but if we go together..."
"Saeko, you have to support me and trust me."
His face became rare serious as Haruta Masayoshi stared at Funasako. Perhaps because he seldom treated people around him with such a serious expression, Haruta Masayoshi's serious look was particularly intimidating - even Eriko, who was watching on the side, unconsciously took two steps back.
In the face of Haruta's righteous insistence, Funa Saeko opened and closed her mouth again and again, as if she had come up with countless reasons - but in the end, Saeko just silently reddened her eyes, then gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, but you must come back safely!"
"Don't worry, it's just dangerous, not a real demon's lair. As long as I'm careful, I'll be fine!"
"..."
