Chapter 6 The sun may rise from the west, but it is absolutely impossible for Lu Lin to treat
Looking at the mission, Lu Lin felt that his newly stable Taoist heart was impacted.
Although the first novice task of alchemy is so normal, who would have thought that the next task would be so exciting.
kill.
Perhaps in a world of swords and magic, killing people is not an uncommon thing.
But Lu Lin is, after all, a time traveler from peaceful times. As a city resident, he has never even killed a chicken since he was a child. Now that he saw that he was required to kill someone on a mission, he was inevitably a little distracted for a moment.
In fact, his first reaction was to give up the mission.
After all, in his past concept, killing was something that was absolutely forbidden.
It wasn't until he remembered that he was now in a different world without police and criminal laws and that it was not peaceful that he put away the idea of giving up.
He is just an ordinary person who has traveled through time. In this alien world that he is unfamiliar with and does not seem to be peaceful, this mysterious menu is his only reliance.
Giving up and continuing to do the task is tantamount to cutting off the future.
and.
The mission only talks about killing, but it doesn’t limit the target of killing. Isn’t it a good idea to find someone who deserves to be killed and take it upon himself to eliminate harm for the people?
Thinking of this, Lu Lin also made up his mind.
It would be difficult for him to accept the idea of killing an innocent person.
But if he wanted to kill a vicious villain, he would be happy to do it for his own benefit.
"Let's go to the town tomorrow to find out. As for the poison, I won't sell it for now. If I want to kill people, it's best not to let others know that I have something similar in my hands..."
After making up his mind, Lu Lin looked out the window at the completely dark sky.
It's time to sleep.
only……
Lu Lin looked towards the corner of the room.
Under the old dining table, the mysterious girl still maintained her knees and huddled up, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.
Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to say anything. He tiptoed onto his little bed, covered himself with a quilt, faced the wall, and closed his eyes.
----

This night, Lu Lin did not sleep particularly peacefully.
The canyon was always extremely quiet at night, and he could always hear the even breathing coming from the other side of the room, reminding him that there was a second person in the room.
And he is a quite dangerous person.
He's even considering moving.
But when I think about the expensive rent in the town...
Now he is not as empty-handed as before. There must be a place to put the huge alchemy cauldron and a bunch of alchemy equipment. If he wants to rent a house in the town, low-rent dormitories will definitely not be enough. He must at least rent a room. One hall.
And the rent for that kind of house costs at least a few silver coins every month.
In addition, even if he really had to move, he was a little worried about whether he would disturb this mysterious visitor again during the move, which would lead to dire consequences.
As for finding a way to deal with her, Lu Lin had not thought about it.
Although he also saved the other party's life, it was thanks to the other party that he was finally freed from the hardship of working to make money.
Regarding how to view this girl, Lu Lin's emotions in his heart were actually very complicated, including fear, gratitude, and dissatisfaction, but most of all, he was still curious.
He was just curious and didn't dare to ask, so he didn't think he could really solve the mystery hidden in the other party.
Now he just thinks about leaving the other party alone, whether there will be some change in the future, or whether the ancestor has figured out and left by himself, anyway, he doesn't plan to do anything, so as not to cause any accidents.
Of course, although Lu Lin didn't sleep well that night, no accidents happened.
When I woke up in the morning and glanced at the corner, I saw that the girl was still in her original position, and seemed to have woken up a long time ago. She still maintained her previous posture, resting her chin between her knees, looking forward with empty eyes, silently dazed.
It seems that as long as there is no external stimulation, she will probably continue like this.
only……
"Won't she be hungry?" Lu Lin wondered.
You can't just feed yourself when you're hungry one day, right?
Well, probably not. They don't look like cannibals.
If you cook after that, will you prepare one for her?
Speaking of this, Lu Lin actually wanted to improve the food today.
In the past 100 days of saving money, he only had fish soup and porridge every day. Now that he has money, he wants to eat anything else.
I happened to be going to the town to find out some news, so I wanted to buy some ingredients and come back to make a good meal.
After making the calculation, Lu Lin went out with a few silver coins in his pocket.
This was probably the day he had the most money he had on him in more than 100 days, except for buying medicine and a cauldron last time.
As for the other money, he hid it in a box under a raised floor in the house.
This is his long-standing habit to prevent thieves.
Although so far, no thief seems to have targeted his shabby house that looks like it has no oil or water.
But after all, the quality of the broken door at home is not ideal. Even if it is locked, it can be kicked open. He is not at home most of the time during the day. If he does not do this, he will not feel at ease at all.
As for today, he didn't even dare to join the chain.
But then again, although the mental condition of the girl at home is obviously poor, Lu Lin has experienced the skill. If it is such a coincidence that a thief sneaks into his house today, he will be lucky if he doesn't die in the house. .
When he came to town, Lu Lin first went to "Underground Treasures" to say hello to Sister Ajuan. She was worried about him yesterday, so she just came to say hello.
Afterwards, Lu Lin went to the tavern.
The taverns in the town are open at night and open all night, and are closed during the day. The tavern owners will take advantage of the day to sleep and prepare goods.
Lu Lin came early enough today and should be able to catch the tail end before the tavern closes.
This point is actually when the tavern is least crowded.
There were almost only drunken drunkards and clerks cleaning up in the store. As for the store owner, he was yawning and wiping glasses behind the counter.
If you want to inquire about the information, the best choice is to go directly to the tavern owner. But after all, Lu Lin is choosing a murder target. For insurance reasons, he does not want to leave any clues by asking the owner for questioning.
Therefore, Lu Lin needs someone who will take the initiative to talk to him about his bitterness, and it is best to forget about it after pouring it out.
Don't tell me, he really knows such a person.
Looking across the tavern, Lu Lin quickly found his target.
It was a young man who was wiping the table. He wore a turban on his head, had brown eyes and hair, and looked thin and tall, with a bitter face.
His name is Tang Bo, one of the clerks in this tavern, and he is a rare "round-eared human race" in this small town.
The so-called "round-eared people" are what humans in this world call a race with an appearance like Lulin's.
Of course, Lu Lin is not a round-eared person in this world, nor is he exactly the same as them, and his ears are not as round as theirs, but at least in terms of appearance, Lu Lin will be classified as a round-eared person.
Because of this, in Tang Bo's view, Lu Lin and he were of the same race. Although Lu Lin didn't come to the tavern often, they were still familiar with each other.
Even Tang Bo can be regarded as one of the few acquaintances and friends of Lu Lin in this world in a sense.
"Hey, Tang Bo, why are you so grim today?" Lu Lin walked up to him and greeted him with a smile, "Do you want me to treat you to a bowl of tomato noodles?"
When Tang Bo heard the greeting, he turned around and saw Lu Lin's face, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Lulin? You...what did you just say?" he asked in disbelief.
"I said, I want to treat you to a bowl of tomato noodles..." Lu Lin asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"You want to treat me?" Tang Bo's mouth opened wide, and then suddenly, his expression condensed, he jumped back and shouted, "No! You are not Lu Lin! Say it quickly! Who are you!"
Chapter 7 There always seems to be a lot of people in this world who would not regret their death.
Lu Lin was a little speechless.
Although he was indeed a little bit stingy before.
In other words, every time I came to the pub, I would only order water and rub the side dishes on other people's tables. From time to time, I would blame others for their leftover wine and leftover bread.
But, doesn’t that mean he has to save money?
If it wasn't forced by the situation, who would want to live such a fussy life!
Why is it that for a bowl of tomato noodles for three copper coins now, this bastard Tang Bo behaves as if he has been snatched away?
The most outrageous thing is that he can do this alone.
When they arrived at the noodle stall, Lu Lin took out six copper coins and bought two bowls of noodles. The eyes of everyone in the stall widened, as if they were watching some wonder of the world.
"Am I so famous for being stingy?" Lu Lin asked Tang Bo with the corner of his mouth twitching.
"If not everyone knows it, at least it is known to everyone," Tombo replied.
"Is there any difference between these two words?" Lu Lin rolled his eyes.
Tang Bo spread his hands, smiled, and said, "So what's wrong with you? You suddenly thought about it?"
"Absolutely," Lu Lin shrugged, casually throwing out the excuse he had already prepared, "I wanted to save money before and save everything, but I found that I couldn't save much money, and my life became more and more boring. So, I feel like I have to spend money where it should be spent, otherwise sooner or later I will go crazy.”
Hearing this, Tang Bo immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right! You finally figured it out! I can't stand the life you lived before. Not even an ascetic can live like you."
"Hey, so I just wanted to come to town to have a bowl of noodles early this morning," Lu Lin said, "but there's no point in eating alone, so I called you here."
"Hehe, we are friends enough," Tangbo grinned, "When you come to the tavern next time, I will secretly get you some staff snacks."
"Then I have to look forward to it. I heard that your food is very good," Lu Lin responded with a smile, "By the way, I saw you had a sad face again this morning. What happened? Here. Shall I tell you?"
"Hey, what else can there be, just those bad things in the tavern," Tang Bo waved his hand, although he looked like he was used to it, but then he opened up his chatterbox and started to complain to Lu Lin about the problems he encountered at work. What a shame.
This guy has always been like this. He always likes to find people to complain about, and he won't stop talking about it.
Normally everyone would find him annoying, even Lu Lin.
But today, his habit helped Lu Lin a lot.
Speaking of the most trouble-seeking people in pubs, apart from the drunkards with bad drinks, they are the gangsters who are keen on provoking troubles.
If you want to find a villain to kill who will not hesitate to die, among these people, it should be the easiest target to meet Lu Lin's expectations.
Lu Lin usually behaves in a low-key manner, staying far away from these people and not interested in them, so naturally he doesn't know much about them.
But Tang Bo was different. As a clerk in a tavern, he couldn't help but deal with these guys.
Chatting with him, Lu Lin could easily learn the rumors about these gangsters.
Soon, noteworthy information appeared in the chat.
"You should know the snack bar in the alley east of the market, right?" Tang Bo said.
"Huh? Which one sells glutinous rice dumplings?" Lu Lin asked.
"Yes, that's the one," Tombo nodded.
"I know that the proprietress of his family is very nice," Lu Lin said. "Every time they have new flavors to try, I will go and have a small portion. Although the proprietress knows that I won't buy it, she never says If you pass me, you will also ask for my opinion.”
"Yes, Mrs. Billing is a good person," Tombo said, but he sighed, "It's a pity, alas..."
Hearing Tang Bo's words, Lu Lin suddenly had a bad premonition and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by this?"
"Well, you didn't know it, but Mrs. Billing has been on the public list recently," said Tombo.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin's eyes widened in shock.
brochure.
This is a slang term among the gangsters in the tavern. The so-called book is the book used by the pimps in the tavern to attract customers. Being on the book means starting a flesh and blood business.
"How is that possible? Mrs. Billing's business has always been good? Why does she need to do such a thing?" Lu Lin said in astonishment.
