"Oh?" Reinis said in surprise, "5%? For an ordinary person, it's quite high."
"Understood, tonight I will invade and obliterate the other party when no one is looking."
"No need, I'm just amazed, such a cute boy is about to be brutally killed just because he took one more look at me," Reinis's mouth raised unconsciously, "Where did I get out of here as a demon?"
"But you seem interested."
Reinis restrained her expression belatedly, smiled and waved her hands: "Okay, don't mention him, make tea for me, Trimmau."
"Yes."
As the last word fell, a pool of silvery liquid suddenly precipitated from the wall, and then flowed and gathered to form a humanoid maid.
She deftly took out the black tea she brought, and took out a plate of delicate snacks from nowhere, and placed it beside the blond girl.
Time passed little by little, during which Long Xu hid day and night, and began to manage the relationship he had formed with his surroundings before.
Soon, the Wednesday that was agreed with the middleman arrived. This time, Long Xu wore a long black scarf to cover the lower half of his face before leaving for the coffee shop.
"Go get something. The location is the underground street behind your house. I found a note with a red book cover from Carlo's house." The middleman said simply.
"... gone?" Long Xu didn't ask how the other party knew the location of his home, and it wasn't a secret at all.
"No, the employer just provided this information. After all, I don't expect much from a novice like you, so go and investigate yourself." The middleman spread his hands, "But the good news is that Carlo should be a reckless man, and there is nothing wrong with his family. book, so there is no need to worry about not being able to tell which one is the mission target."
"Carol's house is north of the street, and that's my personal bonus."
"Well, I see." Long Xu's face was hidden behind the scarf, and the man with the hooked nose couldn't see her expression.
"I'll see the results next Wednesday. If you succeed, then you will know the position of the exchange and go find a job yourself. If you don't wait..." The man shrugged when he said this, meaning it goes without saying.
two months later......
"Ahahaha, let's see who is here." It was also the middle man with the hooked nose, who had a cold face now with a smile on his face.
"My good buddy, needless to say, the mission has been successfully completed this time, right?"
"No."
The person who was talking to him was Long Xu. Compared with two months ago, Long Xu hadn't changed much, but there was a knife mark on his neck that had just healed.
"No? Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't, it's this difficult..." The man was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"The target was an acquaintance I knew, and I killed the employer." Long Xu said without emotion.
"Uh..." The man showed a look of astonishment, and then he said helplessly, "You will lose your credibility if you do this, who will ask you to entrust you if you do it too many times?"
"There will be." Long Xu said, and didn't want to talk to him any more.
Now the two are standing in a trading hall hidden in a residential building, and Long Xu has been looking for tasks by himself for nearly a month.
And her exaggerated task completion has also made her a celebrity here.
Of course, just celebrities in this "dangerous mission" hierarchy.
"Wait, don't leave yet, I have a big job this time!" The hook-nosed man shouted hastily.
Long Xu didn't want to pay attention to it, but a familiar palpitation made her stop.
This mission... has something to do with that girl?
Thinking of this, Long Xu couldn't help but look back at the intermediary in front of him who was already familiar with him.
Chapter 460 221B Baker Street
(Seeing that some friends don’t understand the plot, I’m afraid it’s a singularity or a strange belt that they don’t understand. In fact, it’s right if you don’t understand, because this is an original adaptation of the plot, and all your questions will be revealed later Da, make sure everyone can understand.)
The electric light was shining dimly above his head, and Long Xu sat silently on the stool, listening to the intermediary on the opposite side talk about this mission.
Although this room doesn't look very luxurious, it is actually the exchange's VIP single room treatment.
After all, no matter how you say it, this place is just an entrustment point for idlers to do dirty work. Even if you make some fame here, you are still at the bottom of society.
"So, this time, you just need to find out the number of them and the specific room number." The middleman said, picking out the wick of the kerosene lamp.
"Of course, the more information you have, the more rewards you will get."
He took a sip of the coffee in his hand and continued: "But one thing to note is that this time the client is a big shot, so he has enough funds, and you are not the only one who will carry out the task."
Long Xu frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
"This time is a group task. There are no less than 20 people who have taken over the task so far, but don't worry," the middleman said with a smile, "There is no competition between you, because as long as one person can complete the task, the others will also Everyone gets paid."
"It's just that the reward is doubled for the first person to complete the task."
"Isn't this called a competitive relationship?" Long Xu raised his eyebrows.
"Ha, that's right, people are always greedy, so you have to be more careful. There are some villains among those who accept the task." The middle man shrugged and reminded.
"I see." Long Xu nodded and planned to leave.
"Wait..." After hesitating for a while, the middleman still couldn't help shouting.
"......" Long Xu stopped silently.
".....the reward is quite a lot this time, so let's stop after you're done. The money you've earned during this time should be enough for you to run a small business." The hooked-nosed man Looking at the back of the girl in front of him, he said in a complicated tone.
"...Don't worry." After finishing speaking, Long Xu opened the door and left.
The hook-nosed man was silent for a while, then drank the hot coffee in his hand, and then took out a pocket watch from his pocket.
On the back of the pocket watch was a photo of a girl about the same age as Long Xu, who was his deceased daughter.
..........
(Advantage, I have an innate advantage!) Long Xu was thinking in his mind while walking on the way home.
Through the middleman's description of the mission target, she was basically sure that the target was the blond-haired black-haired girl she had seen that day.
........Ok?
.........Black silk?
As soon as Long Xu became suspicious, she felt a sharp pain in her head. Although she soon calmed down, she seemed to feel that something was wrong.
What were you thinking just now?
black silk!Yes, it is black silk.
Black silk...... very normal clothing ah?What's so strange?
Long Xu looked at the people coming and going on the street, and there were quite a few women in black silk sitting on carriages...
Long Xu shook his head, and returned his thoughts to the task objective.
The name is unknown, the identity is unknown, the number of people is unknown, and only the general appearance is known. Most of the people who received the mission should have received this information.
But I am different, I know where that girl lives!
But there are also disadvantages in this way, Long Xu thought silently, the target is undoubtedly very dangerous, if he bears the brunt now, he will lack the cannon fodder to explore the way.
No way, go to him for help......
After thinking for a while, Long Xu walked towards the street she had frequented in the past two months.
Soon, a large row of classical European-style buildings appeared in front of Long Xu.
Long Xu came to a door on Baker Street with familiarity, and the door plate on it said 221b.
knock knock ~
Long Xu knocked on the door twice.
Soon, footsteps were heard inside the house.
"Who... oh it's you, Ms. Longxu, please come in." Watson said with a smile after being surprised.
Long Xu smiled and nodded.
"Fu" Holmes, who was lying by the fireplace, exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded to her in welcome.
"Long time no see, my beautiful lady," said Holmes with a chuckle.
"Long time no see, big detective." Long Xu joked back.
"Hehehe, thank you for the compliment. After all, it is only a matter of time before I become famous, although I don't care about it." Holmes smiled and sat down opposite Longxu, and put out the pipe in his hand.
"But what's the matter with coming to me this time, I don't remember giving you a commission?"
"This time I'm here for help."
"I can't help." Holmes shook his head directly.
"...It seems that you also know about this?" Long Xu asked with a frown.
This is not a good sign.
"Strictly speaking, I know about it earlier than you, but I don't intend to get involved in this task." Holmes said earnestly.
"why?"
"You guessed it too, didn't you? Since the mission is spread so widely and there is no intention of covering it up, it means that the client doesn't really care whether the target will notice it or not."
Holmes held out two fingers and said: "And there are undoubtedly two possibilities for him to do so."
"One, he doesn't care whether the other party will notice, nor is he afraid that the other party will run away."
"Second, he doesn't think you can complete the task at all. This commission is just to scare the snake away, and there are other arrangements."
"If it is the first type, then his strength is undoubtedly beyond doubt, but since he is so strong, why bother to hire you?"
"Cannon fodder." Long Xu said.
Holmes nodded and continued: "If it is the second type, since you have chosen to scare the snake, then the snake will inevitably react, either fleeing or biting back, and no matter what it is, it is beyond your tolerance."
"Why?" Long Xu asked very puzzled, "The other party is strong?"
"......" Holmes just shook his head and said, "Believe me, Ms. Longxu, it won't do you any good to know about this."
At this time, Watson also persuaded: "The struggle between them has already involved another field, and it is beyond your interference."
"Me?" Long Xu grasped the key words, "That means you can interfere, what do you know."
Long Xu looked at the two who were silent, and suddenly Fulin thought of the letter secretly left by her parents.
"Magic?" Long Xu asked strangely.
As soon as these words came out, Holmes raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and Watson on the side also showed a surprised expression.
Chapter 460 Got Caught
"Oh... so you are also on the mysterious side..." Watson suddenly said.
No, not right. "Holmes interrupted Watson by raising his hand. He stared at Long Xu who was dressed as a boy in front of him and asked, "Where did you hear this word?" "
"...Is this very important?" Long Xu asked in a deep voice, "What is magic?"
"You really don't know..." Holmes picked up the pipe and lit it again, closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.
"Did your parents tell you?"
Long Xu was slightly startled when he heard the words, but on the surface he asked calmly, "Are you investigating me?"
Holmes took a deep breath, and said apologetically, "Yes, I have investigated you."
"Out of curiosity about your life experience, out of doubt about your skills, out of potential threats to partners, these reasons forced me to intentionally collect and analyze your information."
"Oh no Long Xu," Watson said to Long Xu from the side, "he just couldn't help but want to solve his doubts."
"Just like the entrustment just mentioned, even if he has decided not to participate, he still can't help but secretly investigate afterwards."
"...Well, Watson, that's true. I'm sorry, Ms. Longxu." Holmes, who was demolished, gave Watson a helpless look, and then apologized earnestly.
"...So, how much did you investigate, like...the death of my parents?"
"........."
Looking at Holmes who had recovered his silence again, Long Xu retreated and asked: "Perhaps you can also tell me something about magic."
"No, since you have already come into contact with these, I'd better tell you all of them, as a gift from a friend."
"The death of your parents was not an accident, but a result of a battle. As for magic......" Holmes thought for a while and said.
"This is more complicated to say. In fact, I only found out about the mysterious side when I was investigating you, so my understanding is limited."
