Casting spells

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Seeing that there was no useful information to ask, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up and made a gesture of leaving.

After all, today was another day of scouting and fighting, and it took him until two o'clock in the morning. His spirit was already exhausted, and he desperately wanted to go back to his residence and get a good night's sleep.

But before entering the passage, Gracie quickly chased after her, and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Witch...Mr. Wizard! I don't have a place to live now, I don't know if I can Can't I stay at your home for a few nights first?"

"No place to live?" Zhang Cheng stopped, turned his head and looked at the girl behind him.

He is wearing an ordinary cheap white T-shirt, a pair of denim shorts that are almost faded after washing, a pair of white socks and sneakers under his feet, and his long golden hair is messy on his shoulders. The ends are obviously yellow and forked, coupled with the haggard complexion and dark circles under the eyes, no matter how you look at it, you look like a child from a rich family.

"Yes! Since my sister was killed, I gave up my job and quit the apartment. I used my savings to buy a gun to avenge her. Now, I don't have a penny on me. It’s impossible to find a place to live.” As she spoke, Gracie took out her empty pocket with a helpless expression.

"Where are your parents?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

The girl laughed at herself and replied: "Sorry, my sister and I have never met our parents. It was my uncle who raised us. But at the age of 16, he died of lung cancer, and his wife who disappeared for ten years Showed up suddenly and took away the only inheritance - the house, and we were thrown out on the street and had to do odd jobs to support ourselves. Don't worry, I'll find a job and move out soon, won't bother you for long of."

Zhang Cheng stood there hesitating for a few seconds, and finally nodded reluctantly: "You can live in my place for a while, but there are a few points you must pay attention to. First, you are not allowed to enter the basement and my bedroom. Second Two, you are not allowed to tamper with any furnishings in the house without my permission. Third, keep quiet and don't shout no matter what you see."

"No problem! I swear I won't cause you any trouble." Gracie promised without thinking.

After all, for her who is poor, having a place to live is quite good, and she is not qualified to ask for too much.

In addition, she also has a hidden purpose, which is to stay with the mysterious wizard in front of her as much as possible, so that the demon can't easily kill herself.

Zhang Cheng was no fool, he could easily see through the girl's intentions, but he didn't say much, and went straight back to the parking lot behind the restaurant.

When the two came to the sports car with a unique shape, Gracie's eyes burst into hot light instantly, and while staring at the streamlined body, she murmured to herself: "Oh--my God !Saline S7! Seven liter V8, 750 hp, luxury interior, $55! Can’t believe I’m lucky enough to see it in person!”

"Oh? Is this car rare?" Zhang Cheng showed a puzzled expression.

He has no interest in cars, and he doesn't know that it's just a means of transportation, so what's the fuss about.

"Of course! Of course it is rare! In the eyes of car fans, it is like the smile of Mona Lisa in the eyes of painters, and Venus with a broken arm in the eyes of sculptors. You know, it only takes 320 to accelerate to [-] kilometers per hour Seconds, the limit speed can reach [-] kilometers per hour, and it is recognized as the fastest sports car in the world so far. Didn’t you know this when you bought the car?” Gracie reported the details of the sports car in detail parameter.

You don't need to ask, she is an out-and-out car fan.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands indifferently: "No! In my opinion, there is not much difference between it and the other two cars in the garage except for the shape. Alright, don't talk nonsense, get in the car."

"OK!"

Gracie found that the man in front of him really didn't seem to care about these two famous sports cars at all, so she immediately shut her mouth wisely and took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot seat.

With the sound of the engine running at high speed, the car quickly left the parking lot, flew along the road, and entered the villa after only 10 minutes.

Zhang Cheng, who was exhausted, opened the door casually, pointed to the room on the right side of the second floor, and introduced: "The three rooms here are guest rooms, and each room has a toilet and bathroom. You can choose it as your own bedroom. In addition, The refrigerator downstairs has juice, milk, bread, ham, sausage and other fast food, and there is a 24-hour order phone on the table, if you are hungry, you can solve it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care if the other party remembered it or not, he just pushed open the first room on the left on the first floor, and closed the door with a bang.

"Hey! Wait! I haven't changed clothes, can I borrow yours to get dressed first?" Gracie asked loudly through the door.

"Casual!"

Zhang Cheng also responded through the door.

Anyway, the clothes are not his, but the original owner of the house, he only needs to keep a few for changing and washing.

After getting an affirmative answer, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, ran to one of the guest rooms in two or three steps, took off her clothes quickly without saying a word, went into the bathroom to wash off the dirt on her body, and began to sob softly while washing.

After wandering on the street for more than a week, she was already physically and mentally exhausted, and now she thought of her sister who died tragically, and sad emotions rushed into her heart instantly.

In this way, a man and a woman in the villa who were thinking about each other quickly fell into a drowsy sleep, not even noticing that there was an owl standing on a branch less than 20 meters away from the villa, staring straight at it. Villa, it took a while before I flapped my wings and flew into the air...

Chapter 72 Bait

Like many people who often stay up late, when Zhang Cheng woke up from the bed, it was already close to noon, and the bright sunlight had already filled the whole room through the window.

He first glanced at his watch habitually, then got up to get dressed, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and when he opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, he was surprised to find the sound of frying things coming from the kitchen.

You must know that since the original owner's accidental death, this villa has been idle for half a year, and many places are covered with thick dust, especially the kitchen is the hardest hit area, which is basically the kind that cannot be entered. The reason why he hasn't cooked a meal by himself since he moved in.

But now, someone is frying something in the kitchen? !

Driven by curiosity, he quickly walked to the door, and at a glance he saw the brand-new kitchen, as well as the plates and cutlery that had been scrubbed to shine.

Of course, what's more important is that Gracie is waving a shovel, skillfully getting the eggs and bacon out of the pan, sandwiching sliced ​​bread, tomato and lettuce, and finally spreading a small amount of butter sauce, a A good-looking sandwich is ready.

Carefully put the finished breakfast on the plate, the girl immediately turned around and greeted with a smile: "Good afternoon, do you want something to eat?"

"Okay, thank you. But is that bottle of butter sauce not expired?" Zhang Cheng picked up one of them and took a bite, asking a little uncertainly.

"Don't worry, it will last at least eight months according to the production date on the lid. And according to my experience, it doesn't matter if something like butter sauce is a month or two out of date, at least it won't cause diarrhea. "Gracey shrugged her shoulders indifferently and explained.

As a girl who was born and raised in a poor neighborhood, she often buys discounted food that is about to expire in the supermarket. She knows exactly what can be kept for a while, and what must be bought and eaten immediately.

"Well, I hope you're right." Zhang Cheng nodded lightly, and swallowed a sandwich in two bites.

After all, even the hard-to-swallow magic bread has been eaten, what else can't be swallowed.

After eating two sandwiches in one go, he returned to the dining table, and while drinking orange juice, he asked with great interest, "Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

"Planning? Hehe..." A trace of bitterness appeared on Gracie's face. "I'm just an ordinary girl who didn't even finish high school. I have no plans. I just hope that I can find a stable job and settle down. Other things will come naturally."

"Oh? You're not worried about the devil anymore?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Sometimes he really can't understand the circuit of the American brain. He obviously wanted to die not long ago, but after a few hours, he can laugh happily again, even though he has no distribution and no home...

Gracie touched her shoulder subconsciously, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, it's a lie to say that you don't worry at all, but what's the use of worrying? Not to mention terrible demons, I can't even deal with a werewolf. Just Like the advice given by that uncle, it is better to enjoy life than to worry about when you will die."

"In that case, then I won't bother you. Here, this is a credit card. I think you need to buy yourself some cosmetics, a change of clothes, shoes and socks right now, before you can go to the interview to find a job." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng followed the pocket Li took out a credit card with a normal limit and threw it on the table, and at the same time gave him a meaningful glance.

Since the original T-shirt and denim shorts were in tatters, Gracie is now wearing a large men's white shirt, through which the attractive curves can even be discerned.

As an experienced adult male, he can guarantee that the bottom of the shirt is [-]% vacuum.

"Thank...thank you!" The girl undoubtedly realized this, and her face was slightly hot.

No way, there are no women's clothes in the whole house. She can't walk around in a bathrobe all the time, so a relatively neutral shirt is naturally the first choice.

Just when the atmosphere started to become more and more weird, a knock on the door suddenly broke the silence.

boom! boom! boom!

Before he had time to think about it, Zhang Cheng subconsciously got up and opened the door, and saw a fat middle-aged man standing at the door. He was none other than Polman, a lawyer who walked on the edge of the underground world and the world of ordinary people.

"Aha! Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I'm here to inform you that all subsequent troubles have been resolved. Now you can return to your home in the Upper East Side at any time to reunite with your "mother." The lawyer expressed his intention with a smile. .

But Zhang Cheng didn't believe the other party's excuses at all, he sneered and teased, "Notify me? Are you impatient to get paid?"
