".........don't know."
"Basic manual work?"
"........do not know much."
"Oh..." The man looked at the taciturn girl in front of him for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "Although you are dressed like a man, I have seen countless people, so I can tell that you are actually a woman, right? If you don't mind, I have some special work here..."
"I'm sorry sir." The girl interrupted directly.
The man was not angry, but just nodded, and continued: "Then there is no other way, there are only a few kinds of jobs at hand, and the rest... is to ask for some unsafe jobs."
"Not very safe.....what's the job?"
"For example, follow up and investigate some dangerous people who may be villains or even murderers, or to 'get' some special items, and help people guard......"
"I can!" the girl said hastily.
"Hmm..." At this moment, the man frowned and hesitated, before persuading him, "Actually, I don't really recommend it... After all, the death rate of each mission is quite high. The..... is higher than the chances of rain every day...."
"It's all right sir."
"Well, come here to find me every Wednesday. If there is a task, I will give it to you. I will check your business ability first." The man said, leaving the coffee money on the table and planning to leave.
"The coffee here is good, although it is a bit bitter, by the way, your name is...?"
Looking at the steaming coffee on the table, the girl replied softly, "My name is Long Xu."
Chapter 450
My name is Longxu, I just came of age, and I'm just an ordinary girl living in London...... Should I be considered ordinary?
If it weren't for the letter that revealed the weirdness.
I had little contact with the outside world since I was a child, and lived alone in the house left by my parents. My parents who didn’t go home all the year round would send me money regularly, so I didn’t have any special skills.
But I'm not a greenhouse flower who doesn't know anything. Since my house is next to a slum, I have encountered robbers, thieves, or gangsters.
I also basically know the dark side of the city of London......
Because of my personal reasons, I don't think I will get married, at least not with a boy. I thought this kind of life would last until I gradually entered middle age, until......
I received news of my parents' death.
I clearly remember that someone knocked on the door of the room that was hardly touched by outsiders. After seeing the appearance of the outsider through the peep mirror, I opened the door.
At least I can still tell the difference between the robbers in disguise and the real upper class.
And then those who wore the uniform told me the news of my parents' death directly.
"I'm sorry, but because things happened so suddenly, your parents didn't leave you any legacy."
Said the man who was wearing a black suit that blocked his body very tightly.
Although I said sorry, I couldn't see any sadness or other emotions in their eyes, and the tone was flat, as if they were just stating a fact.
Of course, so am I.
And they didn't seem to be surprised by my bland reaction, as if they had expected it a long time ago.
Since then, I can't help but wonder what kind of industry my parents are engaged in.
Then they gave me an address and said that if anyone inquires about my parents, go to that address and tell them.
After speaking, they planned to get up and leave.
How...... ridiculous, I stopped them aloud and asked what I should have asked.
"How did they die?"
"The gas pipe exploded." After they finished speaking, they left without looking back.
The answer that comes out of the mouth is as if the front is the question and the back is the answer.
But it is also reasonable. After gas replaced whale oil, although whale oil still has a place to play, most factories have now begun to lay pipelines to use gas. These pipelines are like bombs buried in the ground. When it explodes, it will matter What's so strange?
By the way...whale oil, gas, electricity... always feel an indescribable sense of disobedience...
After they left, I stood where I was for a while, and then went about my life as usual.
I don't even see each other once a year, and the meeting is just a formulaic hug and due questions and answers, so that their appearance in my mind is a bit blurred.
However, I do know one thing.
My life is about to change.
At least........ I want to start worrying about my future income and daily expenses.
Although the money they sent me to my family before was always just enough to allow me to live without being rich or poor, but since I usually spend less, I have saved some.
At least half a year is enough.
However, you can't wait for the money to be spent before earning it.
And I don't know why, although life has changed for the worse, but I have a sense of expectation that I have never had before.
Because the immutable pattern of life is broken?Because of being free?Or is it because of....... losing the only person you can rely on........?
I don't know, but in my heart I thought it was over.
But one day, I returned home after unsuccessfully looking for a job.
But I found a shadow outside the window. After opening it, I found a mechanical creation like a bird.
Toy or prank?
My gut told neither, so I took it home and took it apart after some research.
Then I found a letter inside.
A letter to me.
The content in it is also very simple, it is the formulaic advice of my parents to live for me in the future, and tell me to stay away from people who come to inform them of death, and never touch anything related to magic.
Of course, the letter also stated that as long as I received this letter, it meant that they had died.
magic?
So their job is actually a street magic show?
But my intuition tells me that things are definitely not that simple.
Although I don't care about whether it is dangerous or not, I can't start with just a letter.
So far, I can only investigate while maintaining my life.
This is also the reason why I want to try those "dangerous" tasks today without thinking.
As for the middleman, it was introduced to me by a homeless man I helped on a whim a long time ago.
..............
Carrying the bread he bought at random, Long Xu walked on the way home in silence.
Everything went relatively smoothly today, except for bumping into a pedestrian and hurting her... As for the clothes?
She has several sets that are exactly the same at home.
Fortunately, that tall man didn't embarrass Long Xu too much, otherwise, in order to hurry, she would have to do it.
Well, that's right, it's hands-on. Although she is a girl, for some reason, she was born with supernatural powers since she was a child, and she can accurately see the enemy's weakness and counterattack when encountering danger.
Of course, these few hits are enough to deal with most of the robbers and gangsters, but if you meet those desperadoes, you don’t need many, just three, I’m afraid your tattered corpse will appear in the trash in the underground street the next day beside.
Just when Long Xu was thinking wildly, her steps suddenly stopped and she looked towards the side street.
There seemed to be no difference between the people and people on the street she was watching, but there was an inexplicable feeling in Long Xu's heart...
Ever since Long Xu could remember, she had always trusted her intuition and never made a mistake.
Soon, a speeding carriage caught her attention.
This unpretentious carriage stopped before and after a building.
This scene that violated common sense made Long Xu frown slightly.
How did the carriage that was running so fast come to a sudden stop?
Before she could think too much, a young girl got off the carriage soon.
This girl has beautiful long golden hair and fair skin like a ceramic doll. She is wearing a pair of brown short boots, and above her are legs wrapped in black silk, as well as a blue dress and shoulder apron.
The most impressive thing is her pair of blue eyes that do not match her age and contain a strong will. She is petite and wears a hat on her head. Every movement after getting off the car is graceful.
The moment Long Xu saw the girl, her heart skipped a beat, not just because of her heartbeat, but because she felt...she seemed to have seen her somewhere.
And at this moment, the girl with the suitcase also seemed to have noticed something, squinting and looked over here.
Chapter 450 Nine Reines
Danger!!!
The strong palpitations made Long Xu lower his head subconsciously, not daring to look at the girl.
The oppressive sense of death forced her to leave this place hastily.
"Miss Reynice?" the attendant who came out of the building asked softly.
The girl called Reinis didn't say much, she just looked away from the hurriedly fleeing figure, nodded with a smile, and handed out the suitcase in her hand.
(So light!) This was the attendant's first reaction after taking the suitcase.
The box in his hand seemed to be empty, as if it only had its own weight, but it seemed a bit laborious when Miss Lainis was holding it?
But doubts are doubts, he naturally didn't dare to ask more questions, but walked ahead respectfully, and began to lead the way for this distinguished guest.
Reinis also had a decent smile the whole time, quietly following behind him.
............
On the spacious road, the girl walked faster and faster as if she was being chased by something terrifying, but she didn't dare to run, and she didn't dare to look back......
There were obviously pedestrians on the road, but Long Xu didn't feel safe in her heart. She even felt that she would be killed in the next second.
Without resistance, without warning...
The sun shone through the clouds in the city, but Long Xu couldn't feel any warmth. She didn't dare to go home, so she could only go to places with as many people as possible.
Still staring at myself......
I don't know what it is, I'm still staring at myself......
Long Xu was just walking aimlessly on the street in fear, until at a certain moment, the fine hairs on her back suddenly calmed down...
The feeling of being stared at by death disappeared.
As if she had collapsed, she couldn't help leaning against the wall and squatting on the side of the street.
"Huh...... Huh...... What kind of scary thing was that just now?" Long Xu was sweating all over his body and said to himself with lingering fear.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" But even though her legs were trembling, she couldn't help laughing like a madman.
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be..." Long Xu laughed and put his hand on his forehead, "Why...why did I I think this is the life I should experience......"
For her, the previous life seemed to be wrapped in someone else's body, but the experience just now made her seem to escape a little from that tight cage.
Even if there is only a little bit, even if the outside is a devil's trap, the abyss of death.
But she also felt as if she had taken a tempting poison, and she couldn't help but want to know more.
And at this time, in a luxurious room next to the street......
"That's all, come to me when you're done."
"Yes, Miss Lainis." After a man finished speaking, he turned and went out, and after paying a respectful salute, he gently closed the door.
Reinis sat with her legs crossed, and poured the black tea offered by others into the trash can beside her.
The hot tea smell wafted out of the trash can, and Reinis sniffed a little...
......It should not be poisonous, but to be cautious, she still only drinks what she carries with her.
"How?" she asked suddenly.
"The target has abnormal behavior, and it seems to have superhuman perception, and can feel my tracking, but the threat level is less than 5%."
