The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 2 002: Memory Fragments and Subsistence Work
I didn't carry anything that could prove my identity, and my mind was blank. I didn't remember anything except the name "Alicia". It was like soaking in nothingness. All the memories of the past, all the emotions Emotions seemed to dissipate in that bottomless abyss, without leaving any impression or trace on her.

After wandering around for a while, when he happened to walk into the black clinic, Blanco suddenly became interested, and then he ended his wandering life and started living here as a renter, or to be more precise, half a renter. , and the other half were mice for Blanco's new drug experiment.

Although Alicia has never admitted it, she does have a vague sense of gratitude for Blanco. A minor like her without any identification could have only been sent to a government institution to undertake a closed Alicia felt grateful for this alone, but the bad behavior of the black clinic doctor , will always make this kind of gratitude looming, extremely elusive.

When Alicia went out, there was another bottle of pills in her hand, pale yellow sugar-coated tablets, packed in a small glass bottle, just like every time before, without a name or a label, only the simplest "Twice a day, one tablet at a time", this is Blanco's usual treatment method, and he never gives any explanation. I don't know what it is for. Anyway, what the doctor gave, I have to eat it on time. Sometimes I feel better, sometimes I feel uncomfortable, but because nothing special happened, it doesn't seem so unbearable.

When she first lost her memory, Alicia didn't feel the army. She thought that all doctors had such a secretive and mysterious attitude. After getting in touch with people slowly and learning all kinds of common sense, she realized that there is another doctor in this world. In such a regular hospital, every doctor would tell about his condition, and he would never let people eat something of unknown origin.

Occasionally, Alicia would also think that maybe she should go to a regular hospital for a careful examination, but as soon as this idea pops up, she will be hit by the rumored huge medical expenses immediately, and the girl's firm determination will be overwhelmed. Before I knew it, the smoke disappeared, and I sighed and thought, forget it, let it be like this, anyway, I don’t feel any special discomfort, so save as much as you can.

The cruelty of real life is looming in front of the amnesia girl with such a meager and terrifying appearance. Before trying to find her lost memory and life, she has to rack her brains to prioritize what to have for dinner today and what specials are available. Vegetable sales and sales promotion, the most basic survival problem, life is so busy and trivial that it is tiresome, even Alicia, who is diagnosed as mild apathy caused by amnesia and usually seems indifferent and indifferent, occasionally has a kind of The feeling of irritability that is about to go crazy, thinking irritably, this kind of world, it is better to perish as soon as possible.

Just as Alicia was walking forward, turning her expressionless face to fearful thoughts, she suddenly raised her head as if she felt something, and a dazzling light flashed across the bright sky, like a shooting star Dragging its huge shiny tail, it drew a long arc, and then fell and disappeared at the other end of the horizon.

At that moment, Alicia felt as if she saw something in the light, vaguely, as if a person opened and closed his mouth, and let out a slow and silent cry.

"Can you see meteors in broad daylight?" Alicia looked suspiciously at the bright blue sky with bright sunshine, and shook her head casually, thinking that it must be a hallucination. Could it be that her condition is so serious that, Delusions, hallucinations, and the inability to effectively control one's own behavior. This kind of illness can no longer be explained by apathy alone. It is almost like a typical symptom of schizophrenia, but Blanco never gave her affirmation The answer, I can only hope that the new pill he prescribed this time will be more or less effective.

But for Alicia, such questions can only be left to think about in her free time, because today is the day when the delivery is agreed, and she needs to rush to the tavern early to see if she can receive new orders.

In the existing public historical records, human beings have suffered several devastating disasters, civilizations have been destroyed, inheritance has been cut off, and it has almost reached the point of extinction, because after such a fault era, the development of human society has shown an extreme Unbalanced development, there are extremely advanced and developed technologies, and there are also things that lack inheritance and are particularly ignorant and backward. Such contradictory phenomena of collision and opposition between completely different civilization systems always appear in the same city and the same place at the same time, which often makes people There is an absurd and weird feeling.

After the fault era, the newly developed theoretical system is the card, also known as the magic card and the battle card, because the original birthplace of this subject is on the battlefield, in order to equip ordinary people who cannot learn magic and improve their combat effectiveness , so that they also have individual combat capabilities.

In the hundreds of years since then, card technology has developed rapidly and has completely penetrated into all aspects of life. Whether it is national defense, military, or people's livelihood construction, this discipline has been used everywhere, and it has basically replaced the incomplete electrical civilization. The era of divine power.

And Alicia's job is to draw cards. Because she has not obtained the corresponding qualification certificate, it is difficult to receive fixed orders. She can only start with the most basic cards. The work is hard and the income is not stable, but compared to wandering on the streets During those days, it can be regarded as a great improvement, and the situation is always getting better gradually.

Wandering out of the alleys of the old city, crossing the square street, and walking forward for a while, you will soon see the gate of the mercenary union. Next to that magnificent building, there is a small tavern Because of the geographical advantage, various mercenaries often gather here, and these brutal and rude mercenaries who don't care much about rules and laws are Alicia's main customers.

When Alicia came over, it was still very early. The proprietress of the tavern just came out to open the door and said sleepily, "Ah, it's so early."

I often walk around here, and I am familiar with the proprietress. Alicia naturally helped to open the window and clean the table. After finishing the preparations before opening the store, she sat down, took out the drawn card from the card bag and said, "Ten Two direction cards."

"Alicia is still so agile." The proprietress said with a smile, took out the card device from under the counter, inserted the card, and immediately a light curtain ball popped up on the square machine, accurately standardizing the direction and dimension and other information, no matter how Fiddle with it, and the directions can never go wrong.

This is the direction card, one of the most basic equipment in Boundary River Adventure. It is not as peaceful as the city, and when human beings cannot distinguish the direction from time to time, it is necessary to use such an instrument to ensure that it will not deviate from the established goal.

After checking all the cards one by one, the proprietress nodded with satisfaction and said: "The old rule is, draw one out of ten, and now it is 120 Ola, and if there are twelve cards, it is 290 Ola, cash or transfer?"

"Transfer." Alicia took out an anonymous money card and handed it over.

The proprietress here will also do some middle-class things, and she will take one-tenth of the handling fee every time, and the purchase price is much lower than selling to a decent store, but for such a gray transaction without a license, It can already be regarded as a fair transaction, and this is the case almost everywhere.

After delivering this single card, Alicia asked about other commissions. The proprietress thought about it for a while, pointed at the table and smiled and said: "There is really a business suitable for you. I just got it today. The reward is very good. The manual fee alone is [-] Ao, and other materials are calculated separately, can I accept it?"

"Samsung card?" Alicia asked, and said thoughtfully, "I don't have a very high chance of success with that level of card. If I copy or repair it, I can be more sure."

Among human beings, there is a common nine-star three-level classification method. All things can be roughly divided into nine stages from one to nine, and then every three stages is a level, elementary, intermediate, advanced, and the classification of cards is the same If such a rule can be applied, it can be ranked according to a series of ratings such as power, difficulty of manufacture, operation function, etc.The three-star card has already been regarded as a dividing line among the cards, and it will be an intermediate card in the future, and the production of cards at this stage is a must-test subject in the intermediate card maker qualification examination. Can reach the standard of an intermediate card maker.

Alicia's card making skills were learned in the past two years after amnesia. Because she didn't have the money to go to training classes, she almost learned by herself, squatting in the square and watching mirage popular science programs to lay the foundation. Then I rummaged through the trash, picked out discarded cards, and traced and drew a little bit. There were not many materials to practice, so Alicia herself was not very confident.

"Smart." The proprietress said with a smile, wrote down an address, put it on the table and pushed it over, "They don't like to make public, they need to go and talk, so go and have a look when you have time, my sister is a guarantee, she must be an honest person."

Alicia looked down, and then gave a slight "ah", she recognized the address, it was not far from the clinic, it was the lair of a local gang named "Green Knife Gate", just as the proprietress had promised , that can also be regarded as a serious gangster, honestly occupying territory and collecting protection fees, never provoking ordinary people.
