i'm not weird

Chapter 26 A Small Manor Outside the Fog City
The early days of the industrial age.

The bow of the empire on which the sun never sets almost capsized as soon as it sailed into the era of hegemony.

This is the fog city in the early days of industry, and the gas from coal burning covered the entire capital of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Citizens of the empire on which the sun never sets must wear a mask when going out.

Visible distance, no more than three meters.

A manor outside Wudu, the manor is four stories high, and the third floor is inside.

Gu Qingjiu and Chi Chen appeared here with a 'shua' sound.

Chi Chen also wore a watch on his left hand, but it looked like an old-fashioned watch.

"Aaron, this is the empire on which the sun never sets at the beginning of the industrial age, right?" Although Chi Chen was a little frivolous, he still did things in an orderly manner, at least the kind he could trust.

[Yes, Mr. Chi Chen. 】

Allen's voice came from the old watch.

Gu Qingjiu stepped forward in surprise, raised Chi Chen's left hand, and kept looking at the old-fashioned watch.

"Master Chi, how can your watch talk?" Gu Qingjiu let go of Chi Chen's left hand, raised his hand and patted his watch, and asked.

"When you get to the senior investigator, your watch will also talk." Chi Chen explained, he reached into his pocket, and took out a Colt Python revolver Kai from the small pocket.

Chi Chen popped out of the wheel seat, took out a silver bullet pouch from another pocket, took out eight silver bullets from it, and loaded them into it.

'Crack, click...'

The sound of each bullet being loaded is loud.

But Chi Chen didn't seem to care.

"Master Chi, you reload the bullets so loudly, aren't you afraid that weirdness will come to your door?" Gu Qingjiu asked curiously.

"It's good for the weirdness to come to you!" Chi Chen said with a smile, he flicked the revolving seat, and the Colt Python revolver was loaded, "I'm afraid I can't find these dogs."

"You're still young, and you haven't been an investigator for a few days." As Chi Chen said, he walked to the window, opened the curtains, looked sideways out of the window and said, "Not every weirdness is like the iron horse ice river." Hanhan, who fought head-on with you just now, is a little weird, but more cunning than human beings."

Gu Qingjiu quickly took out his short blunderbuss flintlock +5, and loaded it with silver bullets.

Chi Chen looked out the window for a while, then turned to look at Gu Qingjiu.

It's fine if you don't look at it, but Chi Chen was taken aback when he saw it.

"Wow, let me tell you something, you are also a talent!" Chi Chen looked at the short blunderbuss flintlock gun +5 in Gu Qingjiu's hand and said, "The flintlock gun in your hand is basically equal to that of a novice in online games. Jian, you can strengthen this weapon five times, I have to say...you have too much money to use!"

Gu Qingjiu's face was stiff. He lowered his head in embarrassment and looked at the short blunderbuss flintlock +5 in his hand. He didn't dare to reload the silver bullets for a while.

"The main reason is that there is no money! No money! Do you understand?" Gu Qingjiu said forcefully, "I have already spent 500 mysterious coins to buy a low-level enhanced cabin, plus skills, equipment, physical attribute enhancements, and silver bullets. Can't you keep the money?"

"Hiss..." After listening to Gu Qingjiu's words, Chi Chen frowned slightly and looked at the short gun and flintlock +5 in Gu Qingjiu's hand, and asked, "Then what equipment did you buy?"

"This one!"

Gu Qingjiu took out the Jiedao from his pocket.

"..." Chi Chen sighed, speechless.

'Don't curse, don't curse! '

Chi Chen murmured in his heart, he took out another pistol from his pocket - Desert Eagle Kai, and threw it at Gu Qingjiu.

"You're embarrassing me by taking out that gun. You can finish this mission with the Desert Eagle first," Chi Chen said.

Gu Qingjiu took the Desert Eagle Kai in a hurry, just about to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Chi Chen shout coldly.

"Quiet!"

Gu Qingjiu immediately swallowed what she just wanted to say.

Holding the Colt Python revolver Kai tightly in his right hand, Chi Chen walked to the side of the stairs.

After all, it was the early days of the industry, when the nobles of the empire on which the sun never sets still used horse-drawn carriages to travel.

The stairs creaked, creaked, as if they were in disrepair.

Every step Chi Chen took on the stairs made Gu Qingjiu a little worried about whether this thing would fall off.

"Sir, Madam has gone out to attend the Queen's ladies' party."

The standard Wudu accent came faintly from the first floor of the manor.

"I know about this." The owner of the manor replied, "I just came back to pick up a few dresses. Tonight is Duke Rose's birthday. If Madam comes back, tell her that I won't be coming back tonight."

"Yes! Sir!"

Chi Chen went down to the second floor. He scanned the surrounding furniture, and finally hid in a woman's wardrobe.

Gu Qingjiu thought, it's not mean to stay on the second floor like this. He held the Desert Eagle Gai in his hand, and opened the safety of the pistol, and stepped down the stairs that were in disrepair.

Chi Chen, who was hiding in the woman's closet, saw Gu Qingjiu who was going downstairs through the gap. He gasped and slapped his forehead.

'It's over!Forgot to let him wait for me there! '

'This bad thing is fine! '

The owner of the manor hummed a ditty, wore a slightly dirty dress, held a staff in his left hand, a wooden box in his right, and went up to the second floor with a top hat on his head.

Gu Qingjiu caught a glimpse of the figure of the owner of the manor, and immediately hid behind the stone pillar on the stairs.

"I'm so scared!" Gu Qingjiu whispered, and he patted his chest.

"?"

The owner of the manor seemed to have heard Gu Qingjiu's voice, clenched his staff with his left hand, and turned to look at the stairs leading to the third floor.

The area occupied by the house of this manor is not too large. Compared with those castles, it can be said to be the little witch among little witches, so the owner of the manor scanned the hall on the second floor at a glance.

"Scare yourself." The owner of the manor didn't notice Gu Qingjiu, he just thought it was the sound of a mouse, and he murmured to himself.

The owner of the manor went to the men's wardrobe in the hall, opened it, and selected three dark black dresses from it, and was about to pack them into a wooden box when he heard the sound of "creak, creak" from the stairs.

The owner of the manor turned around to look, but it was his manor butler trotting up.

"Hoo... hoo... master! Hoo... hoo..."

The butler of the manor was over 60 years old, and the trot for this distance made him a little out of breath.

"Oh! Old Fielding, don't be so impatient! We must maintain the elegance of the aristocrats!" The manor owner seemed not aware of why Butler Fielding trotted up, he said with a smile.

Chi Chen, who was hiding in the lady's closet, and Gu Qingjiu, who was hiding behind the stone pillar, both pricked up their ears.

"Master...Master!" Fielding gasped, "The Rose Duke's butler personally came to inform that the Rose Duke's birthday party has been cancelled!"

"Huh? Canceled?" The owner of the manor immediately dropped the three dark black dresses in his hand, frowning.

After walking back and forth in front of Fielding three times, he asked, "Then why did the Duke's butler cancel the birthday party?"

Fielding shook his head and said, "Master, I don't know! The butler of the Duke of Rose told me to cancel the banquet and left directly."

"There's a problem! There's a big problem!" the owner of the manor said immediately, "Old Phil, get the carriage ready, I'm going to visit the Duke of Rose!"

Fielding didn't ask why, he bowed slightly and said, "As you wish, sir."
