Mystery: The Ancient God is Actually Me

Backlund West District, behind the Philips Department Store, back door.

Several carriages used to pull goods were neatly parked in a straight line, tall brown or black horses buried their heads in the manger, eating the forage that the coachman had just put in.

Because it is the most high-end department store in the Loen Kingdom, and it is also a well-known social place for the nobles and the rich, the Philips Department Store's staff treatment is also much higher than other companies.

Take the delivery coachman as an example, compared to the most common hired coachman in Backlund City, they only need to work eight hours a day, on duty every day according to the schedule, and also arrange shifts on weekends to ensure that each employee can work within a month. Taking a break within the house, of course, the recruitment requirements are also much higher.

It is now 12:30 a.m. in Backlund. The hot sun rarely pierces the thick fog that has accumulated in Backlund all the year round, dispelling the cold and dampness that plagued most citizens. This is the lunch break for most employees of Philips Company. At the time, only a small number of people were on duty to ensure the operation of the store, and in the stables behind the store, there was only one hapless man sleeping in the lounge and eating dry bread.

Suddenly, a petite, shoulder-length blond girl in a knight's uniform took advantage of her body and slipped out of a parabolic tube that was obediently attached to the back wall of the department store building.

Following her inertia, she put her hands on the ground, tightened her body, and rolled into the manger one by one.

The horse that was concentrating on grazing was frightened by the girl who suddenly rolled over. It looked at the girl's rough, half-long hair that was difficult to obey. After thinking about it, it lowered its head again, ready to take a bite!

The girl felt the sudden heat on her head, and when she looked up suddenly, she saw that the horse who wanted to bite her was staring, as if she saw something surprising enough and was about to neigh.

Before the horse could scream, he felt a huge and invisible pressure, suddenly became extremely gentle, lowered his head again, and ate the grass obediently, as if nothing had happened.

That girl was the famous "arbiter" in the Eastern District of Backlund, Hugh Dilcha.

She looked at the horse "pacified" by the "deterrence" she had just released, and without tidying up her clothes, she rushed out of the backstreet of Philip's store and quickly got on the stagecoach to Hillston. .

......................

Xio pushed open the wooden door of the apartment, looked familiarly at the corridor behind him, and closed it after confirming that no one was there.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw her roommate Fors Wall was half paralyzed on the easy chair, her lips were slightly open, her eyes were blank, her right hand was drooping weakly, and a round belly was hanging on her index and middle fingers to absorb water. pen.

Forsi seemed to hear the creaking sound of the door, but she didn't get up to check, but continued to slump on the easy chair, making a rotten sound:

"Hugh, meal, I'm so hungry..."

"I remember that I left enough bread." Hugh ignored his roommate and his indecent appearance, walked straight to the closed curtain, and pulled it open.

The huge movement of the curtains caused a burst of dust, and the dazzling sunlight quickly occupied the entire apartment, "killing" the lazy "rice bug" hidden in the shadows.

"Ah, why are you pulling the curtains!" Forsi jumped up from the easy chair, "I just fell into a bottleneck period, I need inspiration, and inspiration doesn't need sunlight."

Xio took off his knight uniform, pulled Forsi, who was going to the kitchen to find food, and sat on the sofa together. He unfolded what had been hidden on his body before, which Miss Audrey gave to him, "Lieutenant General Hurricane" A sketch of Zilingers.

Fors picked up the sketch suspiciously and studied it carefully.

"What is this?" Fors asked.

As Xio adjusted his sitting posture and relaxed his tired body from "sneaking out" of the Philips store, he replied:

"This is given to me by Miss Audrey, saying that she is looking for the person above, er, the great pirate Qilingus, his bounty in Loen is 10,000 pounds."

The unique wide chin, the ancient knight's bun, the eyes with a cold smile... Such a special hairstyle, in Backlund, is like a firefly in the night.

"Is this really 10,000 pounds?" Forsi couldn't help but said, and then she read the additional description below, and saw that the target has the ability to transform into other people's appearance, and the duration is unknown... .

Then what is the use of this sketch like! Forsi raised his head in confusion, looked at Xio who was concentrating on him, and said to himself:

"It's impossible to find a foreigner who can become someone else. There are countless foreigners in Backlund."

Forsi suddenly became discouraged, changed back to the way Xio was before returning home, and went back paralyzed.

Xio looked at the lazy and depraved look of her roommate in front of her, as if she was used to it. She just took the sketch in her hand that recorded the information, and didn't even mean to blame her.

She read it carefully and found that there are many additional descriptions, so she read it out in a low voice:

"1. There is a very evil item on Qilingus' body, which devours the flesh and soul of a living person every other day."

"2. It is recommended to collect information about Qilingus in detail. Although he can change his appearance, he has not done disguise training, so he will always behave like himself, and there will be problems in some behavioral habits."

Forsi seemed to want to say something when she heard this. She was trying hard to support her body, intending to pull out her body that was stuck in the sofa. She tried two or three times, and then gave up the struggle and adjusted wriggly. Try to make yourself look less decadent with your own "sitting position".

She took out the cigarette case pressed under her buttocks, nodded slightly and said:

"Miss Audrey doesn't seem to be as naive and simple as rumored, she has enough delicate heart and calm observation."

Xio glared at Forsi, who was about to take out cigarettes from the cigarette case, and asked:

"Really, I never found out."

"Since you're so keen, it's better for me to be in charge of finding it, and you're in charge of collecting and summarizing the pile of gold lists. No, what are the hobbies and characteristics of that pirate general?"

Forsi's eyes widened, he calmly put down the cigarette in his hand, and asked:

"How can you bear it? Look at my recent state. I'm already very busy with the new book. The requirements of readers are getting stricter and stricter. I have to come up with more complicated and interesting plots. How can you bear to let the present I'm in a state of dilapidation to undertake such a heavy task again?"

Xio glanced at her friend, and unconsciously revealed convincing majesty:

"I only saw you being lazy at home recently. This is an opportunity for us to make money. Isn't there a very good reasoning in your "Storm House"?"

Forsi tightened her body, buried her head in her arms, and muttered:

"You have no idea how much hair I lost for that reasoning when you went out..."

"Readers are sending letters every day, and editors have repeatedly threatened to come to check my progress. You don't know how many nights I stayed up. We slept together..."

Xio looked at the pitiful appearance of her roommate huddled into a ball on the sofa, she felt a little distressed for a while, and was almost fooled to give comfort.

She lowered her voice deliberately, and her tender voice became low, trying to highlight the majesty of the "arbiter":

"Then do you have any other way?"

Forsi saw that he no longer had to deal with it by himself. After thinking for ten seconds, he raised his head abruptly and said:

"We can hire professionals to do it! All we need to do is gather information about the 'Lieutenant General Hurricane', then erase the name and hand it over to a detective who is good at summarizing, which not only requires the necessary consulting fees, but also saves time !"

Xio looked at the roommate who suddenly became energetic in front of him, froze in place, and Forsi looked at each other, the air was full of speechless embarrassment.

"Cough, yes." Xio cleared his throat, "Just as you said, consult the detective."

"Of course, you will pay for the cost."

Forsi, who was originally happy because he didn't have to stay up all night to sort out the data, heard this, and the smile on his face solidified.

"You forgot to say when you came in just now that you have a few ears of wheat growing on your head."

After speaking, Fors quickly stood up, jumped up, and fled to the bedroom, leaving only Hugh, who was stunned, with a few ears of wheat stuck in his head.

......................

Klein pushed open the door of No. 36 Zoetland Street while recalling the contents of Mr. Azik's letter:

"I will go to Morse Town on Sunday and return on Wednesday..."

He and Roshan skillfully greeted him and saw that the door to the captain's office was open at the partition position, so the corners of his mouth evoked an inconspicuous smile, and he deliberately let go of the volume and said:

"Yesterday at the divination club, I met a girl who is very similar to you."

This topic really aroused Luo Shan's interest, she put down the "Tingen City Honest News" in her hand, and asked back:

"real?"

Klein nodded insincerely, and when he answered, he turned to pay attention to the direction of the captain's office:

"Really, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I thought she was your sister, and your personalities are very similar."

"That disappoints you. I have no sisters, only a distant brother." Roshan replied with a smile.

Maybe it's your brother. If I really saw such a "girl"... Klein thought of Tris before, and thought maliciously in his mind.

"By the way, is Klein's divination club fun?" Roshan asked casually.

"That's work, ma'am. It's my usual job to master potions and get more information." Klein chuckled, "However, I do encounter a lot of interesting things."

Luo Shan suddenly became interested and asked curiously:

"What is it? You know, compared to the job where you can walk every day, I can only sit here bored."

The captain's door is still open. Complaining about work at work is a taboo in the workplace... Klein briefly told Roshan about some interesting things he encountered during the divination, then ended the topic, waved goodbye, and walked towards the partition Inside the Captain's Office.

Dong Dong Dong, he knocked lightly on the open door, attracting the attention of Dunn, who was tossing coffee.

Dunn looked up at him, quickly put down the coffee in his hand, and corrected his posture.

"Please come in."

Klein has used his personal experience in the past few days. He has confirmed that the captain is trying to "act as a method", and the other party has not reported it to the top of the church. Obviously, he has some scruples.

He closed the door casually, and said with a little excitement in his solemn expression:

"Captain, I have completely digested the Diviner potion."

"I want to submit a special application."
