Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 69
Close your eyes, the world in front of you is actually not pure black.

Ah Hao imagined that he was "crunched" by the worms, and the scene of being stuffy after a mouthful of worms did not appear for a long time.

In doubt, he opened his eyes.

The triangular attic roof came into view, and he was still sitting upright on the bed.

This is a small two-storey shop he just rented for 15 yuan, not a world full of yellow sand.

"call"

Ahao breathed a sigh of relief.What, it turned out to be just the "memory" in the smell.

All that felt so real, he once thought he was transported to the desert by a flying star.

Wiping his face with his hands, the rough sand rubbed against his face.

Ah Hao fixed his eyes on his hand.His hands were covered with rough gravel.

It was as if he had just thrown himself on the desert.

!!!

what happened? !
Maybe the sand in the bottle was poured out, Ah Hao tried to comfort himself.

He turned his head and looked at the ground. The sand in the bottle was firmly placed on the ground, and the cork was tightly plugged into the mouth of the bottle.

He got up from the bed, the sand on his clothes scattered on the floor.

Now he had to admit that something extraordinary seemed to have happened.

The sand was actually brought out? !

The "memory" in the smell seems to be more than just some pictures.

It's real beyond a certain point.

Is this the power of [Truth is True]?
Was it really possible that he was eaten by that worm just now?

How did he escape?
In the shock, Ahao's mind was running at high speed, thinking about what happened just now.

He is very concerned about the "smell" emanating from the worm's mouth.

Fragrant, sweet, spicy, exactly the same as the smell of sand in the bottle.

The "yellow light" brought by that "smell" even helped him solve the puzzle of the door.

Ah Hao thought in his mind, without stopping his hands, he silently put the bottle of sand into his pocket.

What secrets does this bottle of sand contain?What is the connection between it and that worm?
Pacing back and forth in the room, he made up his mind.

Anyway, Payne is down there too, go down and ask him, maybe he knows something.

He walked down the stairs without stopping.

"Tap tap."

Payne is working in the back kitchen.This time he is using a mop to slowly clean off the greasy dirt accumulated on the kitchen floor.

Ah Hao couldn't help being a little moved.

Is this how a boss feels when he sees a good employee?
"Payne!"

The orange-haired boy turned his head.

"Hey boss, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just to tell you that your salary should be calculated early, and I will directly send you a whole month's salary at the end of the month."

Payne showed a look of surprise, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "But Mr. Potter also said that he will pay me a whole month's salary, so this month I will be paid at both ends? This, will this not be wrong?" Great."

Ah Hao smiled slightly: "It's nothing, you deserve it. You have worked hard these few days to clean up more. By the way, you should also clean the upstairs. I guess I will live here in the future."

"Yeah!" Payne nodded vigorously.

"By the way." Ah Hao took out the sand in the bottle from his arms, "Who does this bottle of sand upstairs belong to, do you know?"

Payne put down the mop, wiped his hands on the apron he was wearing, and took the bottle.

After observing for a while, he suddenly realized: "Oh, this, I remembered. It's Walkley's, that is, the stuff of the former chef in the store.

"It seems to be a gift from his girlfriend. It seems to be sand dug by himself during a trip. But Walkley later dumped her, and this thing is left here."

Payne handed the bottle back, and then said indifferently: "Boss, take it if you want, anyway, Walkley will never come back here again, and this thing is meaningless to him."

"Yeah." Ahao put the bottle back in his pocket, and then asked casually, "Where did they travel, do you know?"

Payne shook his head: "I don't know, it should be a big desert country. I don't have a good relationship with that arrogant guy, and I didn't understand it so carefully."

He nodded, and after taking down the information about the desert country, he was about to leave the store.

Payne asked from behind: "Boss, are you leaving without waiting for Mr. Potter to come back?"

Ah Hao shook his head: "No, I still have something to do. The goods in the store are not ready yet, so I can't open a perfume shop without goods. I still have to go to the upper city to get the supply of goods.

"Penn, when you are staying in the store to clean these few days, if someone brings the goods to help collect them, I may order a batch of goods to come to the store."

Payne nodded: "Small problems, take care of me, and I'll put them upstairs in the warehouse when the time comes."

As he spoke, he walked to the counter and found an umbrella, "Boss, take this with you, it's raining outside."

He took the umbrella and bid farewell to Penn.

When he walked out of the shop, he found that there were indeed scattered raindrops falling from the sky.

Ah Hao looked at the sky in bewilderment.

In highland areas like Agadi, rainfall is basically concentrated. April and May are the rainy season in Agadi.

At other times, it will either not rain or it will rain heavily.In March, such drizzle is really quite rare.

Holding up the umbrella, he walked slowly up the city, still recalling the experience just now in his mind.

Mysterious sands of unknown origin, dry deserts and giant worms.

Under the experience of rain, the horror scene he had experienced seemed to be just an illusory bubble.

He stretched out his hand, and the remaining sand fell under the washing of the rain.

Truth is true.

What is real?Where does truth come from?

For the first time, he felt incomprehensible to the eight words given by the door this time.

He scratched his hair in annoyance. Now that he thought about it, it was not a good thing for someone to help him "answer the question".

Some things, you still have to figure it out.

For some doors, it's better to push them open by yourself.

But the good news is that he doesn't seem to be under the curse of "never tell a lie" now.

He whispered something quietly:

"I'm actually a girl."

It's time to panic!
But what Ah Hao didn't notice was that when he said this, the door of truth shook slightly.A few wisps of yellow breath drifted out from the door.

The neon lights of the lower city of Agadi have been turned on, and the lively crowd is returning to the embrace of the city that never sleeps.

In the mist of the rain curtain, the neon lights exude a different kind of charm.

I can't figure it out, my brain hurts.

Ah Hao simply put aside his complicated thoughts, and looked at the surrounding shops with great interest.After all, this will be his "battlefield" in the future.

It's always good to know what's going on around you in advance.

First of all, there is no perfume shop here, which was already clear in his preliminary investigation before renting the shop.

Then there are still the most restaurants on this street.All kinds of delicacies from all over the world gather here, and all kinds of novel, weird and cheap delicacies are tempting guests with their smells.

In addition, there are also many small accessories shops for women's clothing and small items.The last ones are tattoo shops, bars and other miscellaneous shops.

Unfortunately, there are no shops occupied by young ladies.

Overall, the flow of people on this street is good.He had a hunch that after his perfume shop opened, it would also be attractive to customers here.

Walking slowly, he stepped out of the elevator leading to the upper city.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

A platinum-haired woman was wearing a sheriff's uniform, riding neatly on a patrol motorcycle.A slender leg in tight pants was propped on the ground.

She wasn't wearing a helmet, and Ahao could see that she had a rather anxious expression on her face.

She is waiting at a traffic light.The crowd pouring out of the elevator was moving across the street.

"Annie?" Ahao asked suspiciously.

The person in front of him was Annie, the magistrate of the Arcane Master who had given him the mission of Mrs. Fu before.

Annie turned her head to look at Ahao. After hesitating, she said, "Ahao? Didn't you receive the urgent mission notice?"

"What, an urgent mission? Oh, I did take an urgent mission to repair a machine before."

Annie waved her hand: "Not the kind, I mean, the really urgent kind."

Ah Hao looked at her suspiciously.

"Hey, I can't explain clearly, you come up first, I will share the task with you later, it happens that there is a shortage of people here right now."

Speaking, Annie patted the leather seat on the back seat of the motorcycle, and spoke in a rather low voice.

"According to the Agadi special security management law, I am now recruiting you to participate in emergency missions. Do you accept this mission?"

The sudden situation confused Ah Hao, and his big purchase plan seemed to be ruined.

"Come on, you can't refuse, or you will be expelled from the association. Don't worry, there is no danger."

Annie suddenly returned to her normal tone.

She patted the seat behind her butt again.

The slapping of leather gloves made the water-logged seats splash small water, which looked quite attractive.

　Change first and then change.In other words, the plot is about to expand.
