Oracle of Terra

The emperor always felt that there was something wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the Tao said so, and he didn't think it was a bit strange.

"Anyway, I'll hold an induction party for you in a few days! Remember to come! This is my number."

So following the underground black doctor, slum gangster, and Longmen senior inspector*2, Telles added a bold penguin to his address book.

17. A hint of durian flavor

"Durian flavor."

Telles narrowed his eyes and looked at the purple-haired Carters girl in front of him.

She is a dark cable, and she is also a well-known pickpocket on the road.

Telles also remembered that some time ago, she stole some important things and was chased by Huaihu and Ah.

"Hello, Mr. Fortune Teller."

"Hello, hello, Miss Ansuo."

"......"

The purple-haired Carter paused for a moment, and then gave an ugly wry smile.

"As expected of the number one fortune teller in Longmen."

"I always feel like you're mocking me."

The white-haired Sarkaz pushed the small round sunglasses, the iridescent eyes changed color under the sunglasses, and the Cartes girl in front of her looked very disappointed.

"No, I heard from some friends that you are very good."

"Oh, your thief friend, I see."

Telles still remembers the time when he was often patronized by pickpockets who didn't have long eyes as an outsider, but the prophecy made him invincible against pickpockets, which eventually led to him becoming famous in one battle and becoming the legendary pickpocket in the Longmen slum Nemesis, occasionally pickpockets would come to him to pay for some sundries, but he drove them back.

But today, An Suo obviously didn't come to honor him.

"So what does it count? 100 Longmen coins once, guaranteed to hit every shot."

"Why does it sound like someone standing on the street to solicit customers?"

"......................"

Telles thought about it for a while, 100 times, a hundred hits, it does sound quite misleading.

"Anyway, it doesn't mean that, you understand."

"I get it, I get it, No."

Ansuo handed over a piece of 100 Longmen coins, and Telles's backhand was a prophecy.

This crumpled Longmen Coin comes from a well-dressed lady who looks full of luxury. It's a pity that there are very few Longmen Coins in her wallet, but those few golden cards are indeed fascinating.

"......"

Forget it, you shouldn't expect anything from thieves.

"what do you wish to ask?"

"I want to inquire about my recent fortune."

"................."

Telles thought to himself, he is a prophet, not a palm reader or a face reader, why did the thief suddenly ask about his fortune?

"Tell me what happened to you recently."

"The thing is like this. A few days ago, I touched a briefcase that looked quite expensive."

Oh, the thing about building materials companies.

"But there was no oil in the bag over there, so I sold it at a pawn shop on West Street. I was looking for an old acquaintance. No one should be able to find me, but I just sold it not long ago. It was only a film. The girl from the clan came to the door and beat me up, after which I became dizzy, as if I had been fed something."

"Then?"

According to serious and obscene thinking, the pretty little rabbit should be sent to some special facilities that provide happy services to spend a dark time, but Telles knows that the film that knocked her unconscious Most of the girls from the ethnic group are Huaihu, and most of the people who feed her are the young black market doctor, my contact book friend.

"I seemed to say something after that, and when I woke up, I was already in the cell of the Guard Bureau. After that, I always had a strange smell on my body, which couldn't be washed off, and it was hard to steal things. .”

"Didn't you touch the wallet of Ms. Filmin this morning?"

"Ah? How do you know... No, you counted it?"

Ansuo widened his eyes in surprise, looked at Telles' speechless expression, and then smiled flatteringly.

"It's a habit, it's a habit. After all, that woman looks really easy to steal. I feel sorry for myself if I didn't do it. Besides, I only touched the ticket, and I lost the wallet to the lost and found office."

Well, the reason is probably that she can't use that card, and she was beaten up by Huaihu some time ago and given medicine by Ah, so she is afraid of selling bags to such an extent.

But remembering the pain makes Telles look a little different. Of course, as long as he doesn't care about petty theft, in fact, he won't care so much as a bad fortune teller. It's not worth a lot of money. She came out after being locked up for a few days like just now. She can clearly grasp the degree of crime. After getting the bag from the building materials dealer, she found that she had no money and quickly transferred it to A pawn shop, but what she didn't know was that her activity area was registered by the Guards Bureau, and it was actually quite easy for Telles to find her.

But unexpectedly, she would come to him for consultation.

"Forget it, the slums are not uncommon, and I won't say anything to you, anyway, it's the previous incident, which made you afraid, and you want to find a way out of me to do some dirty work that is not so attractive? "

"You said so."

"I don't even know when I have so much energy."

"Aren't you very familiar with Brother Aji, the black hand of Longmen?"

"Ah?"

Telles recalled it for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a rumor that Azi was the mastermind behind many small and medium-sized gangs, but it was all rumors.

"You're overthinking it, Ah Zi is a seafood peddler, but if you want me to introduce you to a job, I can introduce someone to you."

"who?"

Ansuo was very excited when he heard that there was a drama. Telles also felt guilty because the durian smell was actually infected by himself as the driving force behind the scenes. The evaluation is also not bad, so I plan to send the secret clue to the dark work that Mr. Lin is going to introduce to me recently.

Anyway, the old man was kind to the young man, and he would not send her to do any dangerous work.

"No, take this note and go to the chess and card hall at No. 23 East Street. It's called 'Datongxuan', and find someone named A Dong, and tell me that I introduced it to you. It's like running errands for a big shot."

"Big man?"

Ansuo took the note with some doubts. She heard from her old buddies that this fortune teller could get some good jobs here. After all, that aunt respectfully called him big brother, but she didn't expect it to be so Well, originally she had prepared something to honor this seemingly unfathomable fortune teller.

After all, he casually revealed who he stole this morning. If she hadn't confirmed that she hadn't been followed by anyone at all, she would have wondered if this gentleman had been following her.

"You'll know when you go, anyway, the work pay is definitely more than your petty theft, but remember, follow the rules and don't do unnecessary things."

Although Old Man Lin is very kind to young people, he is still very cruel to those who don't follow the rules. Telles vaguely remembers that when Dong Abo just introduced him to Old Man Lin, he saw a mummified corpse from the chess and card hall. The back door was lifted out.

"That's affirmative. I understand the rules of the Tao. Then, sir, shall I go now?"

"Go, go, don't get in the way of my business."

"okay."

After finishing speaking, Ansuo hooked the iron rope hanging from her waist to the eaves, and ran along the roof toward the East Street.

"Can't you walk well? You have to be some kind of Spider-Man."

Don't you think walking around on the roof disturbs the people?

On the other side, the secret cable who arrived at the 'Datong Pavilion' at No. 23 East Street observed the chess and card hall not far away.

The people who came in and out were all elderly people, and it was more like an activity center for the elderly than a place where big shots were.

But out of trust in the fortune-teller's ability, she walked straight in, echoing in her mind what the white-haired Sarkaz said not long ago, "obey the rules", so even the valuable antiques and Utensils, she also refrained from touching them.

"Ok?"

A Dong, who was guarding the counter, looked at the purple-haired Carters who was looking around, and raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the little girl seemed to be a well-known pickpocket in the slums. Why did she come to him?

"Little girl, what's the matter here?"

A Dong knocked on the counter, diverting the girl's attention from the antique calligraphy and paintings to this side.

"Hi, may I ask who is the eldest brother named A Dong?"

"Just call me."

"The fortune teller told me to give you this note, saying that he would introduce me to a job."

"Fortune teller? Art."

Recalling the acquaintance who rejected Wei Yanwu, A Dong couldn't help shaking his head again and again, he is ruthless, and he can't learn if he can't learn.

But why did he introduce a pickpocket?

The old man is not interested in stealing.

A Dong unfolded the note, not knowing why it smelled like durian.

And what was written on it was the secret text of their chess and card hall, which Dong Abo taught Telles when he first came to him. Dong Abo said that he was more suitable for the job here than a simple child like Azi.

[I can get her to participate in the job I want to do recently. She is good at it, and it is more convenient to investigate some things. Durian flavor asked her to go to Ah to solve it. This is the number. 】

Looking at the long string of numbers above, A Dong also remembered that A seemed to be the little doctor from Lao Li's side, but A Dong thought about the work that the old man was going to assign to Telles recently.

"Hiss... that kid can pinch and count."

He thought about it for a while, and this secret cable is really suitable for conducting a peripheral investigation for that job. Although the secret cable has been involved in many bureaus, A Dong also has the authority to access the database of the Guard Bureau, so the evaluation of the secret cable Still know clearly.

"Okay, come with me and meet the old man, the old man has the final say on whether it's suitable or not."

"grandfather?"

Ansuo looked at the old men who were playing enthusiastically in the chess and card hall, and thought about it, what kind of powerful old men are there in the slums.

On the East Street, she remembered that there was Master Nine, there was Uncle Tan on West Street, and Fourth Master Hua on Middle Street.

She remembered such people as the old masters in the Longmen slums. In Dongjie, it should be the ninth master?

"You'll know it when you see it, you must know it."

Having said that, the dark thread suddenly stabilized, and then tried hard to recall the relevant information about the Ninth Master.

"Grandpa, Art introduced a paw, saying that it is a helper for Xinhuo."

"paw?"

An old man's voice came from inside the room, and when An Suo was still preparing to make a good impression on the other party, the door of the room was opened, and a ruthless old Zarak in a purple coat appeared in front of him. .

"I...."

Ansuo resisted the urge to swear at Longmen.

Because she knew this old Zarak, after all, he could be regarded as a legendary figure in the Longmen slums, and in the slums he could be regarded as a big man who covered the sky with one hand and had connections with the high-level Longmen.

— Rat King!Mr. Lin!

An Suo's face began to sweat, she never expected to be such a heavy 'big shot'.

"Oh, I remember you, the little paw that was caught and beaten by the girl from the old Li's family some time ago."

"Well...."

Hearing this, An Suo's complexion became a little pale.

"Haha, don't put on such an expression. It's not shameful to be beaten by that girl. She is a little worse than her father, but she is also a good player. Does this taste...Is it the medicine of that little genius doctor? It doesn't matter if you don't die." Lucky you."

"Will people die?!"

Hearing this, An Suo couldn't help screaming, she originally thought that the strange medicine she was fed was just a tricky medicine that would make herself smell strange.

"Haha, just to tease you, at most it will become dementia. Anyway, since it was Art that introduced you, I won't let you do any dangerous work. After all, you are just a claw."

"You, what you're saying is, I'm just a paw (pickpocket), so can I ask what the job is?"

Ansuo originally thought it was a small job of stealing and sabotaging things, but if she got involved with the legendary Mouse King, she only thought it would be a big job. The most important thing is that if she refused, she might end up in the slums.. .No, even Longmen can't get along anymore.

A Dong looked at An Suo's reaction, and then nodded, like Telles's courage to refuse face to face, he really couldn't figure out why, that guy was usually like a petty citizen.

But this also caused the old man to appreciate him more and more recently.

"Dongxiu."

"I'm here."

"What's the name of the gangster that the Guards Bureau wants to get rid of?"
