Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1386 Between Roughness and Delicacy

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of walking.

Ann just heard this kind of sound - it was the sound of an inconspicuous pocket watch placed on the table... Other than that, the surroundings were quiet.

David was also quiet.

An even felt that at this moment, he might still be able to hear her own heartbeat... because she could hear her own heartbeat.

The appearance of this mysterious young man in front of him, or a self-proclaimed traveling businessman, made Ann feel absurd.

Just like the fairy tales she had read, the mysterious people described in those stories would suddenly appear to help the protagonist of the story... like the fairy godmother who gave [Cinderella] a night of magic.

It feels like this.

But obviously this is not a world of fairy tales, but a world that is crueler than reality - no one will lend a helping hand without reason.

That's why he said he was a businessman...

Tick, tick, tick... The sound of the pocket watch was still there, and An began to silently count the time as if it sounded in her heart.

David suddenly reacted, and he was no longer silent. He looked at the businessman who had released a pile of goods in front of the table, and slowly put down the Tang knife in his hand.

Luo Qiu asked curiously at this moment: "Aren't you going to ask for it?"

David's palm finally loosened from the handle of the Tang Dao, perhaps he really likes this sharp knife, "If I sell those memories to you, how will I deal with myself... I won't even If I know what I am fighting for, then even if I get this precious sword, how will I know what I need to do."

Luo Qiu didn't force the opponent either, his eyes swept over the table, and then he picked out another knife, which was a dagger much shorter than Tang Dao.

"What do you think of this dagger?"

Boss Luo looked at David and told him: This dagger is as sharp as a Tang knife. Although it cannot cut the vampire's skin, if it can be aimed at the vampire's heart, it can easily penetrate the vampire's body... Moreover, it only requires a small half of David's memories before adulthood.

"Just a half?"

David was stunned, his eyes fell on the dagger, and suddenly he lost his original determination and became hesitant.

Luo Qiu nodded, "That's right, it's only a small part, and you can decide which part...it's from childhood, before ten years old, or a few years before adulthood, it doesn't matter."

David's gaze became erratic.

Luo Qiu's voice was a little lower...it was the best voice that An had ever heard, even the voices of the girls specially trained for singing in [The Farm] were incomparable...as if penetrated into the soul like sound.

He said: "If it's just a small part, it won't affect what you want to do now, because even if the deal is concluded, you will be very clear... why you forgot this part of the memory. Of course, this is just my Suggestion, whether to buy or not, depends on your choice in the end.”

"Just now... what did you say?" David asked abruptly, "You said, I won't forget why I made such a choice... right?"

Luo Qiu said in a low voice: "It seems that you like this Tang Dao better...it is true. However, there is one thing I need to explain. That is, as you said, you lost your pre-adult For all the memories, you may not be able to be yourself, and you will not be able to find the root of what you want to do. Even if you still know what you need to do, maybe you are no longer so determined. So, if you simply If you just want power, I would recommend you to choose this dagger. Even after you think about it more carefully, you may still feel that this kind of transaction itself may not be an unnecessary thing."

"Not necessary?" David shook his head, this time he directly held the Tang knife that he had put down, "Only strength is necessary... Since I will not forget what I want to do, there is no doubt that I need to be stronger the power of."

Boss Luo just smiled slightly, and didn't say anything this time, but just made a gesture of please.

David put his palm on the crystal ball expressionlessly, then closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Although I don't know why you want my memories, I can tell you with certainty , if I can forget these nightmare-like things, I really wish for it..."

The crystal ball shimmered... Not long after, David stopped moving, as if he had turned into a statue.

For a while, it was still the same.

An couldn't help asking nervously, "You... him, what happened to him?"

Boss Luo said: "Separating memories is still a great burden on the human brain, so in order to prevent this gentleman's brain from being too painful, let him rest for a while. Don't worry, he will wake up soon. So, lady, is there anything you like here?"

An couldn't help looking at the table full of things with a little heartbeat - she intuitively felt that the things on the table could play an unimaginable role.

Perhaps, it is not an exaggeration to call them treasures.

Just by selling some pre-adult memories, you can get a treasure that can help you... that kind of treasure that can save your life in a critical moment.

At this moment, Luo Qiu suddenly reached out, picked up the old pocket watch from the table, and opened it in his palm, "Do you like this, ma'am?"

Hour hand, minute and second hand, transparent dial... This is the most precise thing Ann has ever seen.

She nodded subconsciously, but soon shook her head... She glanced at David, who was still awake, as if she was waiting for some kind of result.

She wanted to see what David would look like when he woke up after selling part of his memory—as a reference, before finally deciding whether to buy something from this mysterious young traveler (who claimed to be).

"What's the use of this pocket watch?" An asked curiously.

"It can stop time." Luo Qiu said with a slight smile: "Of course, the time it stops is relative... To be precise, what it can do is temporarily stop the other party's time."

An opened her big eyes, with a look of "I believe you... that's weird."

Luo Qiu said casually: "Of course, even if it can stop the other party's time, the scope of its effect is extremely limited. If you are using it as a lady, it can only stop the time of ordinary people, and it only lasts for a second or two. To an extent. For ordinary vampires, it may not even be able to do it for half a second. Because as a human body, it is difficult for you to provide a sufficient amount of power for this pocket watch."

It seems that the more I talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes... An looked suspiciously at the other things on the table, and suddenly asked: "If I sell the memory to you, can I still buy it back?"

"Of course." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "However, since you have already planned to sell the memories, why are you thinking about redeeming them?"

An shrugged and said, "Isn't there such a thing as a pawn shop? No matter who you are, you will always encounter difficulties, right? It's not that you have to mortgage it, but when you have to mortgage it. "

Luo Qiu smiled and said: "If you want to redeem and sell memories, you can only exchange them with something slightly higher than the same value."

"The businessman." There was a smile on Ann's face.

Luo Qiu couldn't read any meaning of ridicule from the other party's smile... What he read, instead, was a kind of approval - there is no doubt that the woman in front of him agrees with this approach.

egoist.

"Can I hire you?" An asked abruptly.

Boss Luo asked curiously, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Ann picked up a black pistol from the table, and then made a gesture of aiming. She said: "I have seen similar weapons in books, but they are not as exquisite... Without a doubt, I would even Buying these things is limited to knowing what it is."

As she said that, she casually threw the pistol on the table, and pointed to the rest of the pile of things: "These are also... some, I can't even pronounce their names... I want to say, even if you give it for free Me, I don't know how to use it. Even, when I hold these weapons in my hands, it may inexplicably increase my courage, which seems stupid, and then it may lead to my death. So, Why should I get into trouble?"

Boss Luo's eyes brightened slightly, and he said softly: "It seems that you have thought clearly."

An said with a nonchalant expression: "Ever since I became an adult, I am no longer the darling of those vampire nobles. The nobles who used to like the smell of my blood may not remember who I am now... No matter how good a person is, they always There will be times when you will be forgotten. There is a saying... The taller you stand, the more painful you will be when you fall. Only those who never intend to climb high will not have The danger of falling. Naturally... there is no such thing as a gap. So since I became an alternate dormitory supervisor, I have always made myself look humble, even dispensable... In fact, I have succeeded, if It’s not that today is really too unlucky, if the warden in the No. [-] dormitory suddenly committed suicide by falling from the building, I think the current life may be in the best state.”

Luo Qiu said: "But, don't you want to change your own destiny?"

"There will be." Ann said with a chuckle: "Aren't I standing in front of the fork that can change my destiny now? It's just that I don't know for the time being, which road is the one that can lead to the future." Changing the side of fate."

"You're going to hire me like a tree branch before a fork in the road, aren't you?"

"You haven't answered my question...will you accept the employment?" Anbu asked rhetorically.

She looks so confident, her eyes are full of cunning... It seems that she has already passed her double tenth years, but she still looks like a girl, and that trace of girlish naughtiness has not disappeared just because she is an adult.

"So, what do you want to hire me for?"

An said bluntly: "Of course I hope you can protect me, leave this place safely, and go to the outside world. Speaking of which, I still yearn for the outside world... Ever since I learned the truth about [the farm]."

Luo Qiu asked: "But ma'am, didn't you just say that if it wasn't for what happened today, you would be in the best condition if you could continue to work in the dormitory?"

An just shrugged her shoulders, "Isn't that how people are? Only in a comfortable environment will they consider some exciting or unfamiliar things. I am indeed quite satisfied with the days as an alternate dormitory supervisor, but I have never If you haven’t said it, you won’t be curious about the outside world. Besides, I’ve said [if], but in fact, all of this has already happened. The best state is broken, shouldn’t it be to find another Is it in a stable state?"

She still looks so confident, her eyes are still full of slyness... Only the legs hidden under the hem of the skirt are trembling slightly at this moment.

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Ma'am, do you think that if you rely on yourself alone, can you leave calmly?"

An said in a bad mood: "If I have the ability to leave calmly, why should I still talk nonsense with you here? Isn't the answer obvious?"

Boss Luo nodded and said, "Indeed, the answer is already obvious."

"What do you mean?" Ann frowned.

Immediately.She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became quite ugly, "Indeed, I have already considered it a long time ago... It's hard for me to leave [the farm] no matter what, even if I am lucky enough to leave the [farm] , and may not be able to get out of the clan's territory. So, from the very beginning, I have nowhere to go..."

In the final analysis, it was still because of the difficulty factor... Obviously, there was nothing in me that was worthy of the other party's challenge of this difficulty.

An finally gave a wry smile, and pointed to the things on the table, "In this case, then you can pick out something for me, it's suitable for me... At least, I don't even have the ability to resist at all. But, I will only take out a half of the memories before I became an adult."

"Why don't you take out all your memories." Luo Qiu pointed to David next to him, "Just like this gentleman."

An quickly took two steps back, eyes full of vigilance, "Are you... planning to sell and buy by force?"

"I don't have this habit." Boss Luo just shook his head, "But I'm curious, ma'am, why do you think so."

"Isn't that natural?"

An said angrily, "It's like this guy sold all his memories before he became an adult! Doesn't that mean that everything about him before he became an adult has become blank? Everything he has learned and what he has done are all gone. I forgot... Hasn't he already become a useless person who doesn't understand anything? It's even possible that he's already dead!"

At this moment, David, who was motionless, suddenly opened his eyes... Ann, couldn't help being startled.

Obviously, this is not the so-called inhuman gaze that Ankou said, but a more... more determined gaze.
