Chapter 15. Time crowdfunding
Tessie reached out and knocked politely on the big iron door of the warehouse. The bodyguard A with sunglasses and a swollen face opened the door and saw no one. When he lowered his head, he saw a little boy with golden brown long curly hair. The girl greeted him with a smile.
Bodyguard A took a few steps back in fright. Tessie didn't care too much. She put her hands in her pockets and said with a smile, "I'm here to apply."
Bodyguard A swallowed, and said tremblingly: "You, please go back, Mr. Luka has rejected you last time..."
Tessie smiled and broke her knuckles, making a rattling sound. Bodyguard A forced herself to stand upright, trying to persuade her: "Really, you are not suitable for—"
"I don't make it difficult for you. I think there is always a way to get in. You just say that you were beaten by me and couldn't stop you." Tessie waved her hand lazily, walking like a stroll in Chicago's underground big brother, known as " In the warehouse under the name of Mr. Luca, all the well-built bodyguards shrank back as if they had seen a ghost after seeing her, trying to express "I don't exist".Tessie didn't look at them at all, and went straight to Mr. Luca who was inspecting the goods in the depths of the warehouse.
"Mr. Luca~" Tessie bouncing towards the black-haired Italian, the bodyguard next to Luca heard an unexpected sound of clicking. Putting the gun down quickly, Luca recognized Tessie's sweet voice and helped the container to stand still.
"Ah...it's Tessie." Luca turned his head and smiled weakly at Tessie, "Why are you here..."
Scourge, my little aunt, why are you here again! ! ? ? ?
"I'm here to apply." Tessie said seriously, "I always feel that managing the warehouse for a bookstore is not suitable for me, and it's a bit boring. I just saw that you are recruiting bodyguards again..."
Hey, aunt...do you know why I keep hiring bodyguards? ? ?It's not because of you! ! !
"Boring..." Luca forced a smile on his face, "If you feel bored, then go collect protection fees and have fun, I promise you won't be bored. Didn't I allocate all the commercial streets in Chicago to you? Take it home, it's fun!"
"But they all send the money to me by themselves! I don't have to collect it at all! It's boring!" Tessie complained. Are those Spaniards in Kansas upset? I'll beat them up for you!"
"No, no, no, little Tessie, thank you, Uncle Luca." Luca almost burst into tears, "We can handle it ourselves, the world is not so bad that we need to be saved by a cute little girl like you."
Let you come forward? ? ?Although your one-to-ten combat power is very terrifying, but let a little girl fight?Luka doesn't want to lose face? ? ?
Tessie lowered her shoulders in disappointment. Luca winked at the bodyguard next to her. The bodyguard quickly pulled out a bunch of green banknotes from the box in his hand. Luca took it, bending over like an elder who gave red envelopes on New Year's Day. The waist handed to Tessie: "Uncle will give you some pocket money, go back and buy some cosmetics, new clothes, new jewelry, little girl, dress up yourself, ah."
Tessie took the money, muttered, "Thank you," and stomped away.
"Tessie!" When Tessie stepped out of the warehouse door, Luka suddenly shouted to her: "You... have you considered going to school?"
Tessie didn't look back, she just waved her hand: "No."
Why go to school?She can't get rid of that old face to go to school.
Besides that school, is there any place for mutants to go to school?
Tessie, female, is 20 years old this year, but because of her horrible mutant ability, her body is still like a 15-year-old girl.Both of her parents are dead, she has no car or house, and she has a substantial savings. She once spent a short period of time eating and drinking in a fraternity, and then ran away angrily due to various unknown reasons. She is currently working as a young lady in Chicago to collect protection money , a part-time bookstore warehouse manager.
The above was the information that ran through Tessie's mind when she woke up this morning.
Tessie felt vague, what she remembered seemed to be a simple setting about her own past, such as the death of her parents, what were her parents' names?What are you doing?When did you die?How did you die?Did they die one after the other or all together?
she does not know.All she knew was that her parents were dead.
But everyone in this world knows her. The proprietress of the restaurant on the street greeted her respectfully. The owner of the bookstore rushed to the warehouse today to pay the protection fee. remember clearly...
Tessie was confused.
But at this moment, Tessie still had a bundle of red envelopes from Uncle Luca in her hand, which could reach ten thousand dollars. She couldn't just walk around the market with bundles of banknotes. She had to go back to the bookstore warehouse where she was temporarily staying to save money.
...Wait, why does she put her savings in the warehouse, isn't it good to deposit it in the bank?
She is stupid!If the warehouse caught fire, all her savings would be destroyed!Have there been fewer accidents related to fires recently?
...Wait, where's the latest fire accident?
Hey, that arsonist—
Which arson, Chicago hasn't caught fire for half a year.
Tessie began to wonder again if there was something wrong with her memory.
There was a heavy rain last night, and now the sky has cleared up, but there are still small puddles along the street.Tessie thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go back to the warehouse to take out her savings and open an account at the bank. She stepped on the pond humming and walked towards the warehouse. Probing the direction of the brain.
Tessie narrowed her eyes, she quietly walked behind him, and then stared at the countdown number above the man's head, the speed of the number change suddenly slowed down, becoming 0.2 times the normal time.Tessie took advantage of the slowing of his time and reached out to put him on the ground, then she put one foot on top of him and made his time flow normally again.
Unknowingly being knocked down, Tommy immediately began to howl: "Sister! Please spare me! I didn't invade your territory without authorization—"
"You've been poking around at the door of my warehouse, and you said you didn't invade my territory." Tessie narrowed her eyes, "Didn't you feel comfortable being beaten by me last time?"
"It's very comfortable, very comfortable." Tommy said quickly, "It's just, just, there's a reason this time..."
"What is the reason, such as you want to take back your territory?"
Before Tessie came, Tommy was the boss of this commercial street, and the protection money was offered to him.But after Tessie came, she beat him and his little brother three times, and they disappeared in this area since then.
"No! No! Big sister, you must believe me!" Tommy hugged Tessie's leg and cried, "How dare we miss big sister's place again? Big sister, really Forced by the situation, today a strange man suddenly appeared in our area, covered in mud, who beat anyone he saw, and all our brothers were beaten to the ground by him, big sister!"
Tessie became interested: "Hey... so powerful?"
"It's so powerful, big sister! His arms are so hard that he can pass out after being punched! I barely escaped, big sister, you have to uphold justice for us! And..."
"And what?"
"And he seems to have wandered into your neighborhood..."
Tessie said "hmmm", put her feet off him, and then took two bills from her banknotes and threw them to Tommy: "Go back and buy some medicine for the brothers, some ice packs, don't have a concussion."
Tommy put away the two hundred knives, and suddenly realized his conscience, and added: "He fights very well! You have to be careful, big sister!"
Tessie shook her hand indifferently: "Oh."
It's not her bragging, no one can beat her.
nobody.
Tessie went back to the warehouse first.
This is the warehouse of a bookstore, which is full of books. As soon as Tessie entered, she smelled the smell of ink. She took a deep breath, and then exhaled it happily.
Really, living in a bookstore warehouse is really blissful.She can also read books at will, which is great!
...The previous her didn't seem to have cheered for this, nor did she look like she had read the book.
It's strange, how boring her life was before, did she only fight?
The owner of the bookstore specially installed water and electricity in the warehouse for Tessie, and bought some furniture.But it still looks very simple, a bed, a bedside table, a table, two wooden chairs, a telephone, and a simple shower.
She should buy another induction cooker, Tessie thought so, and then dragged out a box from under the bed, found her small cash box in the box, she was stunned for a moment after opening, and then she took the bundle of dollars in her hand Put it in, with its countless brothers and sisters.
"So rich, why don't you rent an apartment for yourself, and have to live in a warehouse." Tessie muttered, shaking the cash box, which was heavy.
After putting the money away, Tessie is going to eat, let's eat Chinese food today.
Chinese restaurants are generally the easiest to be robbed. After receiving Boss Wu’s protection fee, Tessie is very conscientious. Every time someone wearing stockings rushes in and asks Boss Wu to open the cash drawer, Boss Wu will press the quick call first. As soon as Tessie's phone rang, she ran to the Chinese restaurant and beat the robber down with the banknotes.
Therefore, Boss Wu's protection fee has always been paid the most on time and the most, and Tessie and Boss Wu have a good relationship.
Pushing open the door of the Chinese restaurant, the welcoming girl smiled when she saw Tessie, and hurriedly greeted: "Come here, please, today we have seafood porridge..."
"Is Tessie here?" Boss Wu raised her voice in the back kitchen and asked, Tessie responded, and Boss Wu hurried over with a smile on her face, "Oh, come for lunch? I'm staring at today's seafood porridge They put crab meat and shrimp in it, it's delicious!"
"I just want to eat some light food today." Tessie rubbed her belly, she didn't exercise much today (beating people), so she wasn't very hungry, "Just a little stir-fry."
Boss Wu was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting Tessie to know about "xiaochao". Then he said in Chinese to the waiter next to him, "Green pepper and potato shreds, tomato scrambled eggs, twice-cooked pork, and then a vegetable tofu soup."
"Vegetable tofu soup is unnecessary." Tessie replied in Mandarin with a northern accent, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes put more eggs and no sugar."
Boss Wu and the waiter stared at her, it took a while for Tessie's mind to turn back, and then she turned her head, not trying to explain anything.
...Because she didn't know when she secretly enrolled in a foreign language class to learn Chinese.
Boss Wu went to the back kitchen to watch the cooking, while Tessie sat by the window, playing with her hands while staring at the passers-by outside the window and the countdown above their heads.
Tessie's ability is very buggy. She can see the remaining life of a person, and it will appear in the form of seconds above everyone's head, ticking down.
The pedestrians on the side of the road looked in a hurry, and the seconds above their heads ranged from four digits to nine digits.Tessie suddenly saw a number with only two digits in the countdown among the nine digits. She couldn't help stretching her neck to take another look. Half a minute later, the person was hit and flew on the road.
Tessie pursed her lips in displeasure, then turned her eyes, and saw from the corner of her eye a man with a black and dirty body entering the alley next to him, and on his head——
Tessie pressed her face against the glass, looking in shock at the line of numbers she had never seen before, there were at least, there were... ten digits!
And it is a tens digit starting with 3!
There are 86400 seconds in a day, and 31536000 seconds in a year, so his ten-digit figure shows that he can still... live for 100 years.
miraculous...
Tessie slumped in her chair in surprise, and then she had an idea, could she see her own countdown?
A voice in her head resolutely rejected her idea, no, even if she looked in the mirror, she couldn't see it.
Tessie actually has several skills. For example, she can reduce the number on a person's head out of thin air, which is equivalent to shortening a person's life span.The reduced time doesn't just disappear, she has to add this time to someone.On the contrary, she can also renew someone's life and use other people's time.She can also slow down an individual's time flow, but more often she speeds up her own time.
Of course, such a bug ability has side effects. She had the impression that someone told her that her body might stay at the age of 15 forever.
No one can believe that she is already 20.
This means...she has no medical insurance card, no identity, and no way to test for a driver's license...
You can't even watch R-rated movies when you go to the movies!
unacceptable!
The waiter brought her a glass of Coke. Tessie looked at it and said, eh, it’s still a glass of Coke, very retro. She bit the straw and drank it, sucking on the Coke. Suddenly, Boss Wu’s roar came from the back kitchen: “Go to another Beg for food!"
Tessie was waiting for the food. She had nothing to do, so she took a Coke to the back kitchen and found that Boss Wu was yelling at someone outside by the door leading to the street from the back kitchen. Tessie was sweating profusely. The cooks who were cooking drippingly went to Boss Wu and poked him: "Boss, what's wrong?"
Boss Wu looked back to see Tessie, and the smile immediately returned to his face: "Ah, it's nothing, send a homeless..."
Tessie glanced at it curiously, and was immediately stunned:
It was the hundred-year-old who was all black and dirty!
A hundred years old was wearing a strange tights, all in pitch black, his body was covered with mud, his hair was half-length, not short, and a little curly, sticking to his face at the moment, he stretched out his hand carelessly to push his hair aside, and sniffed Smelling the smell of dishes in the air, Boss Wu saw Tessie with piercing eyes. Tessie was holding a straw in her mouth, but when she saw a hundred-year-old face, the straw fell back into the bottle from her mouth unconsciously.
Tessie swallowed.
Heart... heart beats a little fast.
"That...boss," Tessie smiled brightly at Boss Wu, "Can I pack something today?"
Boss Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Of course, yes."
"Boss, I want to add a few more dishes," Tessie said, "Seafood porridge, shrimp dumpling, intestine powder, wonton noodles, steamed buns, fried spring rolls—"
Boss Wu looked at Tessie in bewilderment like Guo Degang, the emperor of the United States, and began to say "Reporting the Name of the Dishes" with his lips touched up and down. After she stopped, he remembered to get some notes: "You say it again ?”
Boss Wu asked the cook to add more dishes in a trance, Tessie turned to face Baisui, who looked up at her silently, Tessie walked down the back kitchen steps step by step, came to the street, in front of Baisui Stand still, tilt your head, and look him up and down carefully.
He was muddy from head to toe, wrapped in a black tights. Tessie took a closer look and found that the tights were more like combat uniforms.
"Are you... hungry?" Tessie asked.
A hundred years old nodded silently.
Tessie looked at his face for a while, and suddenly ran back to the back kitchen. She borrowed a small towel from a cook, soaked it in water, ran back to Baisui, and handed the wet towel to him: "Wipe your face!" .”
A hundred years old looked at her, looked at the towel in her hand, hesitated for a moment, took it, and wiped off the dirt on his face. The moment he raised his head, Tessie felt her heart stop for a moment.
Yes, it's the type she likes...
ok, so handsome...
Tessie felt her face was hot, she wiped her face with her hand, and asked in a concealed manner, "Well, what's your name?"
Baisui stared at her seriously for a while, and said, "I forgot."
Tessie was stunned: "Forget, forgot?"
One hundred years old looked down at the mud all over his body and said, "When I woke up today, I was hit by falling rocks on the mountain road. I... forgot everything."
For a moment, Tessie looked at his confused and helpless eyes, her heart twitched, and then she blurted out: "Then...how about you come to live with me? Lots of things."
A hundred years old was obviously taken aback by her: "You, you seem to be only 15 or 6 years old. Don't you have a family? Are you not afraid of danger?"
Tessie smiled and said, "My parents died long ago. I live alone in the warehouse of the bookstore. It's okay. I'm not afraid of danger, but you..." Tessie reached out and poked the hundred-year-old's chest lightly, hard Yes, um, informative, "You have to be careful, you look delicious."
One hundred years old didn't have time to say anything, so Boss Wu brought the packing box over: "Tessie, this food is very heavy!"
"Come on," Tessie said to the hundred-year-old, "you come and get it."
A hundred years old took the packing box, a little at a loss: "Why...?"
"Come on," Tessie gave him a wink, "come home with me."
Tessie had completely forgotten about the powerful weirdo Tommy had mentioned about sneaking into her area.
Who cares, she was in a hurry to go back and clear her hundred years old.
Uh... By the way, what is his name at a hundred years old?
"You don't have a name?" Tessie asked as she opened the warehouse door.
"...forgot," he said.
Tessie pushed it away and walked into the warehouse, turned on the light, a hundred years old looked at the stack of books, his face was expressionless, his eyebrows moved, and then he walked around the pile of books, Tessie walked back and forth flexibly among the piles of books , he is relatively tall, accidentally knocked a book off, he bent down to pick it up.
"Put away your food first, I'll take you to take a shower... Hey, where's the person?"
Tessie went back and found Hundred Years Old who was staring at an open book among the piles of books.
"What's the matter? You like this book?" Tessie tilted her head and glanced, "The Sun Also Rises... Oh, do you like Hemingway?"
"I think..." he murmured, "I might be called Barnes."
Tessie was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "You...have an ex-girlfriend named Brett? She ran away with the matador? You...are a Western reporter? You...that, can't you?"
Barnes was puzzled: "What? I just saw this name and felt that this possibility belongs to me."
"Okay," Tessie said kindly, "Barnes. So is that your first or last name?"
"I do not know."
Tessie shrugged: "It's okay, I only have one name, I don't have a last name. By the way, if you like, you can take the book away and read it. Hey, put the food on the table, and I'll take you to take a shower."
"Bather..." Barnes couldn't keep his face paralyzed, "You... take me there?"
"Do you know how this broken water heater produces hot water?" Tessie glanced at him, "Come on."
Barnes is facing a major post-amnesia crisis.
The author has something to say: Tessie is Mr. Gua, and Mr. Gua is Tessie.But for some reason, readers make Gua always think that she is his heroine.
Tessie is a bitch and violent (in every way)
Applause welcome brother!
Bodyguard A took a few steps back in fright. Tessie didn't care too much. She put her hands in her pockets and said with a smile, "I'm here to apply."
Bodyguard A swallowed, and said tremblingly: "You, please go back, Mr. Luka has rejected you last time..."
Tessie smiled and broke her knuckles, making a rattling sound. Bodyguard A forced herself to stand upright, trying to persuade her: "Really, you are not suitable for—"
"I don't make it difficult for you. I think there is always a way to get in. You just say that you were beaten by me and couldn't stop you." Tessie waved her hand lazily, walking like a stroll in Chicago's underground big brother, known as " In the warehouse under the name of Mr. Luca, all the well-built bodyguards shrank back as if they had seen a ghost after seeing her, trying to express "I don't exist".Tessie didn't look at them at all, and went straight to Mr. Luca who was inspecting the goods in the depths of the warehouse.

"I'm here to apply." Tessie said seriously, "I always feel that managing the warehouse for a bookstore is not suitable for me, and it's a bit boring. I just saw that you are recruiting bodyguards again..."
Hey, aunt...do you know why I keep hiring bodyguards? ? ?It's not because of you! ! !
"Boring..." Luca forced a smile on his face, "If you feel bored, then go collect protection fees and have fun, I promise you won't be bored. Didn't I allocate all the commercial streets in Chicago to you? Take it home, it's fun!"
"But they all send the money to me by themselves! I don't have to collect it at all! It's boring!" Tessie complained. Are those Spaniards in Kansas upset? I'll beat them up for you!"
"No, no, no, little Tessie, thank you, Uncle Luca." Luca almost burst into tears, "We can handle it ourselves, the world is not so bad that we need to be saved by a cute little girl like you."
Let you come forward? ? ?Although your one-to-ten combat power is very terrifying, but let a little girl fight?Luka doesn't want to lose face? ? ?
Tessie lowered her shoulders in disappointment. Luca winked at the bodyguard next to her. The bodyguard quickly pulled out a bunch of green banknotes from the box in his hand.

She had nothing to do, so she took a Coke to the back kitchen and found that Boss Wu was yelling at someone outside by the door leading to the street from the back kitchen. Tessie was sweating profusely. The cooks who were cooking drippingly went to Boss Wu and poked him: "Boss, what's wrong?"
Boss Wu looked back to see Tessie, and the smile immediately returned to his face: "Ah, it's nothing, send a homeless..."
Tessie glanced at it curiously, and was immediately stunned:
It was the hundred-year-old who was all black and dirty!
A hundred years old was wearing a strange tights, all in pitch black, his body was covered with mud, his hair was half-length, not short, and a little curly, sticking to his face at the moment, he stretched out his hand carelessly to push his hair aside, and sniffed Smelling the smell of dishes in the air, Boss Wu saw Tessie with piercing eyes. Tessie was holding a straw in her mouth, but when she saw a hundred-year-old face, the straw fell back into the bottle from her mouth unconsciously.
Tessie swallowed.
Heart... heart beats a little fast.
"That...boss," Tessie smiled brightly at Boss Wu, "Can I pack something today?"
Boss Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Of course, yes."
"Boss, I want to add a few more dishes," Tessie said, "Seafood porridge, shrimp dumpling, intestine powder, wonton noodles, steamed buns, fried spring rolls—"
Boss Wu looked at Tessie in bewilderment like Guo Degang, the emperor of the United States, and began to say "Reporting the Name of the Dishes" with his lips touched up and down. After she stopped, he remembered to get some notes: "You say it again ?”
Boss Wu asked the cook to add more dishes in a trance, Tessie turned to face Baisui, who looked up at her silently, Tessie walked down the back kitchen steps step by step, came to the street, in front of Baisui Stand still, tilt your head, and look him up and down carefully.
He was muddy from head to toe, wrapped in a black tights. Tessie took a closer look and found that the tights were more like combat uniforms.
"Are you... hungry?" Tessie asked.
A hundred years old nodded silently.
Tessie looked at his face for a while, and suddenly ran back to the back kitchen. She borrowed a small towel from a cook, soaked it in water, ran back to Baisui, and handed the wet towel to him: "Wipe your face!" .”
A hundred years old looked at her, looked at the towel in her hand, hesitated for a moment, took it, and wiped off the dirt on his face. The moment he raised his head, Tessie felt her heart stop for a moment.
Yes, it's the type she likes...
ok, so handsome...
Tessie felt her face was hot, she wiped her face with her hand, and asked in a concealed manner, "Well, what's your name?"
Baisui stared at her seriously for a while, and said, "I forgot."
Tessie was stunned: "Forget, forgot?"
One hundred years old looked down at the mud all over his body and said, "When I woke up today, I was hit by falling rocks on the mountain road. I... forgot everything."
For a moment, Tessie looked at his confused and helpless eyes, her heart twitched, and then she blurted out: "Then...how about you come to live with me? Lots of things."
A hundred years old was obviously taken aback by her: "You, you seem to be only 15 or 6 years old. Don't you have a family? Are you not afraid of danger?"
Tessie smiled and said, "My parents died long ago. I live alone in the warehouse of the bookstore. It's okay. I'm not afraid of danger, but you..." Tessie reached out and poked the hundred-year-old's chest lightly, hard Yes, um, informative, "You have to be careful, you look delicious."
One hundred years old didn't have time to say anything, so Boss Wu brought the packing box over: "Tessie, this food is very heavy!"
"Come on," Tessie said to the hundred-year-old, "you come and get it."
A hundred years old took the packing box, a little at a loss: "Why...?"
"Come on," Tessie gave him a wink, "come home with me."
Tessie had completely forgotten about the powerful weirdo Tommy had mentioned about sneaking into her area.
Who cares, she was in a hurry to go back and clear her hundred years old.
Uh... By the way, what is his name at a hundred years old?
"You don't have a name?" Tessie asked as she opened the warehouse door.
"...forgot," he said.
Tessie pushed it away and walked into the warehouse, turned on the light, a hundred years old looked at the stack of books, his face was expressionless, his eyebrows moved, and then he walked around the pile of books, Tessie walked back and forth flexibly among the piles of books , he is relatively tall, accidentally knocked a book off, he bent down to pick it up.
"Put away your food first, I'll take you to take a shower... Hey, where's the person?"
Tessie went back and found Hundred Years Old who was staring at an open book among the piles of books.
"What's the matter? You like this book?" Tessie tilted her head and glanced, "The Sun Also Rises... Oh, do you like Hemingway?"
"I think..." he murmured, "I might be called Barnes."
Tessie was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "You...have an ex-girlfriend named Brett? She ran away with the matador? You...are a Western reporter? You...that, can't you?"
Barnes was puzzled: "What? I just saw this name and felt that this possibility belongs to me."
"Okay," Tessie said kindly, "Barnes. So is that your first or last name?"
"I do not know."
Tessie shrugged: "It's okay, I only have one name, I don't have a last name. By the way, if you like, you can take the book away and read it. Hey, put the food on the table, and I'll take you to take a shower."
"Bather..." Barnes couldn't keep his face paralyzed, "You... take me there?"
"Do you know how this broken water heater produces hot water?" Tessie glanced at him, "Come on."
Barnes is facing a major post-amnesia crisis.
The author has something to say: Tessie is Mr. Gua, and Mr. Gua is Tessie.But for some reason, readers make Gua always think that she is his heroine.
Tessie is a bitch and violent (in every way)
Applause welcome brother!
