Examination of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 63
July 13, Friday, afternoon.
When he came back from the party last night, seeing Yuumi was very uneasy, Alvin once thought that Yuumi was in some danger and had a stress reaction.
Fortunately, Yuumi’s mood gradually stabilized until he left the North District. To be cautious, Alvin took Yuumi with him overnight and took a carriage to the rental apartment on Citrus Street for a night.
Alvin didn’t plan to go out this afternoon. He was quietly waiting for news from Klein at home. By the way, he let Yuumi try the “Wolfman’s Wrath” he bought for 1620 last night.
“He’s handsome, really.” Alvin put down his book, turned to look at Yuumi, who was standing in front of the full-length mirror, and said with a smile.
This little guy has been wandering in front of the full-length mirror for a long time since he brought ‘Wolfman’s Wrath’ after lunch. Looking at himself in the mirror, he tilts his head from time to time, as if he just bought one kid in new clothes.
“Meow”
Yuumi flicked her tail and turned around, looking at Alvin, as if asking, is it really okay?
Looking at Yuumi’s right mouth, there was a little tiger tooth, which added a bad feeling to its original cute appearance.
“Of course.” Alvin glanced at the deep scratches on the wooden stool next to him, and nodded affirmatively.
After he finished speaking, he picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, got up and prepared to refill himself with hot water. He walked through the living room and entered the kitchen. Just after picking up the kettle, a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he found that an illusory mist filled the surroundings.
In the center of the thick gray-white fog was an ancient high-backed chair. Sitting on the high-backed chair was a mysterious being whose appearance and figure could not be seen clearly, overlooking all mysterious beings.
“The Fool.” Alvin blurted out in surprise.
When he saw “The Fool” at this time, it meant that his divination had come to fruition.
“The answer you want.”
I saw a picture appearing in the hazy gray and white fog. There were narrow and dilapidated paths. It was a dilapidated small building bathed in the twilight. Round trash can for garbage.
The sound was still reverberating, the gray fog had disappeared, and Alvin still had the hand holding the kettle in front of him, and the water that had already overflowed from the cup.
………………….
Above the gray fog, inside the majestic palace.
After responding to the fellow “Power”, Klein breathed a sigh of relief.
In the beginning, in order not to expose too much of his favored person’s situation, he originally planned to send the divination results by mail, which would also relieve the fellows from guessing about him, but the 15 soules of postage made him change his mind.
It’s not about the money issue, but because I changed my mind after seeing the divination screen before. It’s better for such a vicious criminal to be caught earlier, so that many innocent people can be saved from harm.
“Good luck fellow.”
Above the gray fog, Klein didn’t delay for too long. When everything was over, he wrapped himself in spirituality, fell into the gray fog, and fell into the material world.
……………………………
“Meow”
Xiao Huya Yumi stood at the door, shook her small ears, and looked at Alvin worriedly.
“I’m fine, but I’m happy.”
Alvin responded with a bright smile, put down the kettle in his hand, picked up the overflowing water glass, took a sip and put it down.
“Yumi, we need to go out, the teacher’s enemy has been found.”
Alvin looked at Yuumi who was squatting at the door of the kitchen, smiled and said.
“Meow”
Yuumi’s eyes suddenly became sharp after hearing this, and the sharp claws under the meat pad were slightly stretched out. She turned her head and ran to the door to wait. It seemed she couldn’t wait.
Alvin walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a series of equipment such as gun pouches, belts, spells, etc., and checked it again, after confirming that there was no problem.
Picked up the old-fashioned revolver from the bottom of the drawer, quietly looked at it, and inserted it behind his waist.
Then he went to the bathroom, fiddled with his hair in front of the mirror, and rubbed a few strokes on the wall, smearing it on his face.
She put on the gray-blue work clothes that she had prepared when she went to investigate the pharmacy near Xiajie yesterday. There were many traces of stitching on it. She stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at it for a while, and found that there were no flaws. She nodded in satisfaction.
Find yesterday’s tattered linen bag, let Yuumi hide it, and carry it on her back.
Went to the door and turned on Spirit Vision. After seeing that the alley was temporarily empty, he opened the door, stepped out, locked the door, quickly walked down the stairs, looked left and right, pulled his hat, and went straight out of the alley.
There is no detailed map of Xiajie, only a simple map. Those officials who are naturally high will not be willing to waste energy and money on these people.
Looking at the simple map, Xiajie is not big, but it is intricate and complicated. In order to avoid missing the target, he divided the entire Xiajie into four parts according to the south, south, north and west, and planned to conduct a sub-regional survey.
First, start the investigation from the farthest north side. After Alvin walked out of the alley, he went directly to Palm Elm Street.
Turning over the streets of Brown Elm, the hustle and bustle immediately rushed to my face. Street vendors selling oyster soup, pan-fried fish, **** beer, and fruits shouted hoarsely, causing pedestrians to slow down involuntarily.
At this time, it was early 6 o’clock, and many people had already started to return. The sides of the road were crowded, and some children were mixed in, watching all this indifferently, watching all the pockets.
Alvin passed through the area with many street vendors, and people entered the largest slum area in Pritz Harbor in the true sense, that is, Lower Street.
The passers-by here are all wearing old and tattered clothes, seeing Alvin’s linen bag, showing greed, as if staring at the carrion vultures, and they may attack at any time.
Alvin Lingli’s eyes and the kitchen knife exposed at his waist effectively prevented all accidents from happening.
“An ordinary worker who has gained something is not going to let it go. Is this world sick, or are the people here just lunatic?”
Alvin sighed when he saw children playing in ragged clothes, their arms and legs were like matchsticks.
He didn’t stop, and continued to move forward according to the route he planned. Time passed and the sky gradually darkened.
Because there are no gas street lights here, some alleys have become dark, which has no effect on him. Looking at the sky, Alvin put Yuumi out of the bag.
“Meow?”
Yuumi leaned on Alvin’s shoulders and shook her body. With a cry, she took small dried fish from the animal skin bag under her neck and gnawed it.
“I haven’t found it yet, but it will be soon.”
During the day, a stranger has been wandering in a street, and it is strange that he is not noticed, so Alvin intends to focus on the investigation at night.
There was only the last street left in the North District, and Alvin quickened his pace, fearing that the other party would move, causing him to be empty.
We must speed up, try to finish the investigation of the lower street tonight, and determine the target location.
As soon as he turned the corner of the alley, he saw a round metal trash can in the corner not far away. Looking forward, the familiar dilapidated building in the picture was actually 30 meters away.
“I found ~www.mtlnovel.com~ When I saw the building in front of me, I was sure it was the same picture that Klein sent him. Alvin retracted and hid in the corner without rushing forward.
Taking a deep breath, he took out a metal vial from his waist, unscrewed the cap, and sprayed himself and Yuumi twice.
Then he took out another metal bottle, raised his head and drank half of it, his hands became transparent inch by inch, until only the clothes were left shaking in place.
When Yumi saw this scene, she stood up in shock.
“It’s okay, you’ll wait here for a while. I’ll go in and see the situation.”
Yuumi tilted her head, and curiously touched Alvin with her claws.
Carefully and evenly sprinkled the water in the metal vial on the clothes, the clothes began to become transparent, and then Alvin disappeared in place with the sound of footsteps.
Only Yuumi was left standing on the wall with her head tilted, her eyes shining brightly at this scene.
Alvin carefully walked to the door. There is a dilapidated three-story building here. There is no door downstairs. He walked in gently. Just stepping into the corridor, all kinds of mixed gas suddenly penetrated into Alvin’s nostrils. He vaguely Can distinguish the smell of urine, the smell of sweat, the musty smell of dampness, and the smell of burning coal and wood.
“This distance should be fine.” Alvin frowned and pinched his nose.
Because he might encounter Sequence 7, his gaze might be discovered, so he decided to check one by one.
Just as he was about to open Spirit Vision, the “bamboo slips” in his mind trembled slightly. He suddenly froze, and a stronger thought flashed through his mind:
“Can not watch!”
“Can’t see! Can’t see!”
“It will die!”
“You will die if you see it!”
“You will die if you see it!”
