Alien landlady

Chapter 40 Take the initiative to come to the door
Sitting on the stone bench, Bai Tongtong regretted not bringing Ah Huang, otherwise he would have picked out the person who was following him in the crowd. As long as that guy stayed in an outsider's territory, he behaved like a domestic cat, with a smart card on his face. With a clever face, he can cheat food and drink.

Annoyed, Bai Tongtong decided to vent his anger on those two short-sighted guys.

After sitting for a while, having had enough rest, Bai Tongtong stood up and walked towards the food stall, as if she was getting hungry again and wanted to eat more.

Before she turned the corner, she caught the sign of being followed again. As long as it is a land creature, it is impossible to escape from the monitoring of the earth mage.

Bai Tongtong approached the food stall area, bought a few barbecue sticks, ate them slowly, then walked around the food stall and walked to the back alley, as if he wanted to take a shortcut to go to other places.

The alley is actually a narrow lane formed by the houses in the community, extending in all directions with the street outside. This is an expensive high-end residential area. The luxury houses occupy a large area, but the population density is not high. The entry and exit are mainly by horse-drawn carriages, and there are few pedestrians.

Bai Tongtong strolled in, threw the finished sticks into the garbage dump at the entrance of the alley, and continued walking forward with both hands in his pockets.

Walking through the gate of a house, it was confirmed that the stalker was still following.

Before walking through the gate of the second family, I can already distinguish the specific positions of the two people who are following me from the footstep frequency of different pedestrians behind me.

Just in time, there was another alley beside the outer wall of the third house, and Bai Tongtong turned into it and waited for the rabbit.

This alley can only be walked on foot, and no one passed here at this time, and everyone went outside to celebrate the festival.

Bai Tongtong walked to the middle of the alley, folded her hands, and carefully felt the footsteps of the two stalkers that she had captured changed from slow walking to fast walking, and finally trotting, getting closer and closer to herself.

Bai Tongtong raised his head and turned around. Two men dressed in middle and lower classes broke into this alley. When they saw that Bai Tongtong was waiting for them, they were stunned for a moment, then took out the short sword they carried with them, and hung up their hearts. With a kind expression, he rushed towards Bai Tongtong.

This meeting didn't even start with a greeting. Bai Tongtong felt that this way of greeting was quite novel, and it seemed that the etiquette was completed only when one party fell down.

Bai Tongtong drew out her dagger, and when the other party was holding a metal weapon like a sword, she was reluctant to use the stick to confront it head-on.

With such a short distance, it is very easy to judge the direction of the opponent's next step. This is the experience gained from fighting with the brats of the military academy. Bai Tongtong only swung the soft stick four times, and the two men fell asleep. Weeping and crying on the ground.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Huh? Don't challenge my patience." The opponent is too weak to fight, and it's boring to fight. Besides, he is a low-level gangster. Bai Tongtong knows how to accept it when he sees it.

"Don't think about it! We won't tell you anything!" The two men were quite stubborn, and they were obviously in pain, and they were talking loudly.

Bai Tongtong put away the soft-tipped stick, replaced it with a swing stick, and threw out the stick with a snap, which made the two gangsters tremble visibly in fright.

"If you use money to work, you should quickly confess to your employer. Otherwise, I don't know if the money you charge is enough to buy medicine."

"Dream!" The gangsters insisted with great backbone.

Bai Tongtong smiled appreciatively, raised his wrist, let out a scream, and hit one of them on the knee with his stick.

The companion turned pale with fright, but still kept his mouth tightly shut.

"Say, what do you want to do by following me around the square?"

The one with the injured knee was speechless and was shaking with pain all over his body, while the other one whose limbs were temporarily intact simply turned his head and closed his eyes.

Then, with the whistling sound of the swinging stick, the second scream sounded, the gangster who had already injured one knee didn't even save the other knee this time.

"I am a pacifist against torture, but the definition of torture is up to me. If you don't want to be disabled, say it!"

"I said! I said! Don't hit me!" I didn't know the pain until I hurt myself. The guy with the knee injury couldn't hold on anymore, and his companion was also terrified, "It's because of the water mouse!"

"Water Mouse? Are you under Water Mouse?" Bai Tongtong nodded, and he guessed right, "What do you usually do for him?"

"If the target of his fishhook doesn't cooperate, we will find an opportunity to come and steal it."

"No wonder you fight at this level." Bai Tongtong sneered, "If Mengs is a fishhook, what is a water mouse? Fishing?"

"Probably a fishing rod."

"What about you? A powerful bait for a special purpose?"

"almost."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me, why does the water mouse want you to look for me? How do you know where I will be today?"

"The water rat was repaired by Viscount Hope and suffered heavy losses. He found out that Mengs had betrayed him, and easily connected him with a mission he just completed, and immediately found you. Tong Tong Bai, whose origin is unknown, is good friends with Galti and his wife, and is now accompanying the noble lady to study at Menise School of Magic and Martial Arts."

"go on."

"We know that you will come back when you have a long holiday, and the nearest holiday is this National Day, and you are not a local, you must be curious about the National Day celebrations in the city, so we are here to guard you, your appearance is not a secret , Mons described your appearance carefully, and the water mouse has a portrait of you in his hand. To be honest, the portrait is very similar."

"Where did you find me?"

"The corner of Lanning Street and the square is a very good shopping street, and you are not short of money. Women love to spend some money on themselves."

"What if I go straight off the other corner of Lanning Street?"

"There will be other brothers following you."

"I don't even know whether you two are lucky or unlucky now." Bai Tongtong pretended to be very distressed and scratched his hair, "You were lucky to find me, but unfortunately I knocked you down, I don't know what the water mouse will do to you How about? Why don't I go talk to him and ask for a favor for you two?"

Bai Tongtong smiled innocently and harmlessly, just like Ah Huang's cute and obedient expression.

"Oh, no!" The two unlucky gangsters exclaimed in horror.

The stick in Bai Tongtong's hand still hit the bastard, this time it hit his ankle, and the scream sounded like he smashed his balls.

"Say, where is the water mouse? Don't play tricks with me, you know what happens when you anger a mercenary."

"We don't know where he is!"

"Still stubborn at this time? Then tell me how you two plan to deal with the water mouse?"

"If I can subdue you, I will take you to the Lange Tavern on Minsk Street. We don't know if he will be here."

"You are not a mob at all, are you? As a middleman who transfers information, Water Mouse is too cautious. Does he have a big boss above him? The real fisherman?"

"We don't know. We've never seen it before. It feels like there is one. The water mouse never worries about money. It has been like this for many years."

"That's right, the water mouse has been dealt with, and the trust of the boss above him has decreased. If he wants to save his reputation, he must seek revenge from me." Bai Tongtong said to himself, putting away the stick.

"We don't know his plan. Our mission is to find you, subdue you, and take you there. We don't know anything else. Please let us go!"

"Of course, of course, I will let you go, you are useless to me, and it will take a lot of trouble to kill you." Bai Tongtong nodded, "But I can't let you go back to Lange Tavern to report the news early, so just lie down here In a while."

"You! What do you want to do!"

Bai Tongtong took out a space bag from the ring, with the words White Magic written on it, and inside were various potions in small bottles, all of which were reagents or samples made by the students of White Magic. After the experiment, Bai Tongtong thought it was fun to I came over, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

Picking out a bottle with the word "drug" written on it, opened the lid, and ignored the one who hurt his knee and ankle, Bai Tongtong poured all the potion into the other person's mouth, and saw that person struggling and trembling a few times, He closed his eyes softly.

The other person almost lost his wits when he saw this scene, Bai Tongtong deliberately made a pounce on him, causing him to roll his eyes and faint out under the dual effects of pain and mental breakdown.

Bai Tongtong put away her things, clapped her hands, and walked towards the other exit of the alley.

After coming to the street, Bai Tongtong took a taxi to Minsk Street.

Because there is a mercenary guild there, it is an activity zone for mercenaries and other people. It is located in a low-middle-class neighborhood, but as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still enjoy luxury services, and sometimes even decent people come to buy some Special merchandise not found anywhere else.

Lange Tavern is not on the street, but it is very famous. Bai Tongtong got off the car in front of the gate of the mercenary guild, and after a little inquiry, someone directed her to go.

Fort Chemington's high requirements on the environment make the streets here even in low-middle-class communities. The streets are clean, and the small alleys of the houses are tidy. There is no garbage and sewage everywhere.

The alley where the Lange Tavern is located is full of fighters in various costumes, and there are some scantily clad women who smell of cheap perfume. The skirts on their bodies are so loose that they can be pinned against the wall at any time.

Most of the mercenary fighters were men. Bai Tongtong got a lot of attention and gifts all the way in, but she ignored them all and walked straight into the tavern.

In broad daylight, the tavern is also full of business. There are people sitting at the tables and counters, and some people are standing and drinking.

Bai Tongtong is a new face. She is wearing a mercenary outfit, but she has never been to the mercenary guild. When people see her neat and tidy, they think she just came from other places.

Calmly scanning around the indoor scene, in addition to the door, there is a small door on the wall behind the counter, these are the two entrances and exits.

Bai Tongtong walked over and squeezed a seat for herself. The guy behind the counter came over and asked her what she wanted to drink.

The 5 denomination copper coin slid gently from the counter to the boy, who covered it with his palm.

"Water mouse asked me to meet here, did you see him?" Bai Tongtong didn't order anything.

Bai Tongtong's tone sounded as if he was mentioning an acquaintance. The boy was not sure what he meant, but for the sake of the tip he had just received, he nodded slightly, "Always in the back."

"Am I going in or is he coming out?"

"Why don't I go in and ask, what's the lady's name?"

"My surname is Bai."

The boy nodded, opened the counter baffle, and walked behind the small door.

After a while, the boy brought another man out, and he led Bai Tongtong to see the water mouse.

Behind the small door is actually a narrow corridor. At the end of the walk, there is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, which creaks when stepped on.

The man who led the way let Bai Tongtong go upstairs alone, while he stood cautiously below.

Bai Tongtong shrugged indifferently, she could feel that there was no magic atmosphere upstairs, not even magic supplies.

Swaggering upstairs, the sun shines in through the windows in the corridor, the space is bright, a man playing with a dagger stands outside a door, he opens the door, watching Bai Tongtong walk in.

The room is arranged like a simple office, with soft and comfortable armchairs, a large writing desk, and a long table filled with wine bottles and glasses.

As for the man sitting on the sidelines tasting wine, he looks like Mengsi in his aura and dress, with a big back, a refined manner, a space ring on his hand, and gentle lake green eyes. Generally speaking, he is a man walking on the street A handsome guy who can make a woman faint.

"Miss Bai, it's a great honor to meet you for the first time. I hope my incompetent subordinates haven't caused you too much trouble."

"Of course not. They kindly invited me here." Bai Tongtong tilted his head, "Are you a water mouse? To be honest, it's not what I imagined."

They are all called mice, and the red mouse really looks like a mouse.

"I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on Miss Bai." The water mouse put down the glass and gestured, "Please sit down, Miss Bai. Would you like a drink?"

"Thank you, no need, I don't drink much, I believe you already know it very well." Bai Tongtong walked to the armchair opposite the water mouse and sat down, smiling politely and reservedly.

"Miss Bai has won the prize. We don't know much about it. Miss Bai pays great attention to protecting her intelligence."

"You're welcome. A mercenary exposes his weaknesses every day. If he doesn't pay attention, he won't know how he will die someday."

"Miss Bai is really humorous."

"This is the way of survival, I believe you understand it."

"Of course, of course, life is not easy."

"Exactly. In particular, mercenaries must avenge their revenge. Don't you think so? You must protect your personal information. It's ridiculous to be seeking revenge for no reason."

"Oh, it's also an advantage to settle grievances and grievances in time. It's not good for anyone if you delay for a long time. What do you think, Miss Bai?"

"I totally agree, so when I heard that you wanted to see me, I rushed here immediately. Are you sincere?"

"Miss Bai's sincerity really moved me."

"Then, what should we talk about?" Bai Tongtong crossed his legs, put his right hand on his left hand on his stomach, this is a posture that can take things from the space ring at any time.

The water mouse rested his hands on the armrests of the chair, with a smile on his face, his chest and abdomen wide open, and his posture was relaxed, showing a mental state of home court advantage.
