Devil's Department Store

In the end, the bucket list is made of the cat's suggestion, the witch's blueprint, the succubus' contract paper, and the devil's finger snap.

Robert said excitedly: "This is the power of the team! We are a team!"

The witch looked at Belphegor enviously, and said: "This is too convenient, if I am alone, I will definitely not be able to do it in a month."

Belphinger looked very interested while holding the wish list, only Miser had a loss written all over his face.

Belphegor kissed him and said flatteringly, "Don't be so dear, just treat it as a date."

Miser scowled.

Belphegor: "A date that doesn't cost money."

Miser: "..."

If you think about it that way, it seems to be okay, right?

Miser reluctantly took over the wish list, looked at it, and suddenly had hope again, and said excitedly: "Hey! There is only one wish on it!"

The witch smiled and said, "Yes, to make you feel better, only one is displayed at a time, are you happy?"

Miser: "I %&#@*..."

I'm so happy!

Robert climbed Miser's clothes all the way to his shoulders, looked at the bucket list, and said, "Huh? His first wish is 'I hope the parents will pay the price'."

"Which one is right?" the little cat asked innocently.

Miser rolled his eyes: "Who else could be, of course only his own parents."

Miser squeezed out a hypocritical smile, and said to Andrew: "Excuse me, guest, can you tell me where you killed this human being? We may have to check his identity."

That place was originally a secret territory where Andrew planned to have offspring with his partner, but after this incident, Andrew did not intend to go back, and the werewolf reported the address without much hesitation.

And according to the address given by the werewolf, Miser and the others quickly found out the true identity of this wraith—this is a worker in an assembly line factory, named Daniel, who is 46 years old this year. Just a week ago, the local newspaper Posted his missing report and it was the factory that called the police because he hadn't been to work for three days.

Miser noticed something was wrong, raised his eyebrows and said, "This person's soul is very tough, no matter what he does, he will work hard, so he won't be working in a factory until he is 46?"

"Actually," said the witch, holding the newspaper, "he has only been working in the factory for three months, and three months ago he was a vagrant."

"And the newspaper said that he left a suicide note before he disappeared," Robert said in confusion. "So he ran into a werewolf on the way to commit suicide, and was killed by a werewolf?"

Miser was also speechless. He said earlier that this person was unlucky, but now it seems that Andrew and his partner are the unlucky ones?

No, think about it, he is obviously the most unlucky one, isn't he!

Miser sighed and said, "That's not the point, let's go and find out who his parents are."

Daniel had only been in the factory for three months. Obviously, his fellow workers didn't know much about him. The witch directly contacted the police in charge of the disappearance case. Since the other party wanted to find someone, they would definitely check Daniel's household registration.

However, the witch was a suspicious person who didn't even know her identity, so it was impossible for the police to reveal this kind of information to him, so she was about to hang up after asking a few questions.

Seeing this, Miser pushed the witch aside: "Let's go! You can't do this well!"

After finishing speaking, the succubus took the phone and said, "Hello, police officer."

Miser's tone was not good, but the attitude on the other side changed immediately: "You, hello! May I help you!"

Witch: "..."

Miser continued: "That's right, I want to ask about the missing worker Daniel."

When the witch answered the phone, the other party kept asking about the witch's identity. When Miser opened her mouth, the other party immediately revealed all the information like beans.

In fact, because there was a suicide note and the time of reporting the case was three days later, the police station did not use a particularly large force to investigate the case. After all, this remote small city has always been chaotic and the police are not manned enough.

There are many missing cases, and Daniel is just the most inconspicuous of them. The chance of survival is very low, and there is no family member to urge him, so the order of solving the case has always been at the back. However, when Miser made a request, the other party still went to search for information.

"Daniel's parents are unknown. In fact, he was a child who was rescued in a child trafficking case and grew up in an orphanage."

The police told them the name of the orphanage, but it was not in this city yet.

Miser and the others had no choice but to go back to the Devil's Department Store, and then go to the orphanage from the Devil's Department Store.

Daniel is 46 years old this year. It has been 30 years since he left the orphanage. However, this orphanage has many well-meaning people who support him, so the current situation is not bad.

Although they are wearing masks, Miser and Belphegor have outstanding auras, and they always have a high sense of presence. Generally speaking, the management of the orphanage is very strict, but after seeing the two of them, some nurses couldn't help but greet them and asked: "Oh, you... are you here to adopt a child?"

The witch who was clearly standing beside her with the cat in her arms, but was abruptly ignored: "..."

Is the current society so realistic?

Miser was about to deny it, but Belphinger calmly said to the nurse, "No, we can give birth ourselves."

Care workers:"???"

Misser: "??????"

Facing the terrified eyes of the succubus, Belphegor smiled and said, "Don't be so dear, I'm just joking."

Miser: "..."

Grass, I don't think you are joking!

Belphinger patted Succubus' stiff back reassuringly, and said to the nurse, "I'm sorry, but we're not here to adopt a child, we're here to find someone."

"Oh, oh..." The nurse nodded in panic and embarrassment.

With the bug of succubi, the information about the orphanage went smoothly. The only difficulty was that the name Daniel was too common. Even if the time was confirmed, there were three Daniels in the orphanage in the same year.

Fortunately, they finally found Daniel's former home address and reached their destination through the Devil's Department Store again.

Daniel was a rescued child in a child trafficking case, but unfortunately, he was sold to the traffickers by his own parents. After the suspect was arrested, his parents were also charged with imprisonment and sat for several years. Prison, and after getting out of prison, the situation is very bad.

The place where Miser and the others arrived was a slum area, the streets were full of tents and shelters for the homeless, and Daniel's parents barely lived in a dilapidated prefab house surrounded by rubbish.

After all, Belphegor is a demon king, so he dislikes this kind of place and refuses to move forward.

Miser looked at the surrounding situation and said in shock, "To be honest, I think they have already paid the price."

At least before they sold Daniel, they certainly wouldn't be reduced to this kind of place.

The witch spread out the wish list and found that the writing on it had not changed. She shrugged and said, "Obviously, Daniel doesn't think so."

He must make the parents pay what he thinks is enough.

But at what cost?life?free?Or a confession from the heart?

Miser thought about that tough and stubborn soul, and asked, "What was the amount involved? How much did they sell Daniel for?"

The witch recalled it for a while and said, "300 yuan."

Miser asked Belphegor again, "Do they have $300?"

Belphegor frowned and said, "Yes."

Miser understood. He took out the newspaper with the news of Daniel's disappearance from his pocket, and said to Belphegor, "Do you remember what you did at the amusement park last time?"

"Of course, dear," Belphegor smiled, "I will never forget the memories with you."

Miser folded the newspaper, exposed the missing report on the outside, and said, "Exchange this newspaper and the 300 yuan in the house, can it be done?"

Belfengra said with a long tone: "I am willing to serve you."

After speaking, he took the newspaper from Miser's hand and put it in the witch's hand.

Witch: "?"

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Belphegor snapped his fingers, and the newspaper in the witch's hand instantly turned into a pile of stained and horribly smelling fragments of banknotes.

Witch: "..."

Robert in the witch's arms meowed and climbed onto his shoulders, but the expression on the witch's face was already distorted beyond recognition.

That's it?That's it? !Miser can't take these things, can he? !Is he here today as a tool man? !

Miser was still on the side and warned: "Take the money away, maybe it will be useful."

The witch looked at the succubus in horror.

Miser was also a little guilty, and hurriedly said: "Discount coupon... Okay, okay, go back and treat you to dinner, okay, I'll make you a small cake!"

Belphegor frowned reluctantly, and the witch's face looked a little better. Although Miser's juice may not be very good, the other party's small cake may not be very good, but it is still a little more sincere than coupons, Miser This person is not that bad...

The witch has not yet realized that she has begun to slide into a bottomless abyss.

After the witch squeezed her nose to collect the money, there was a sound of screaming and beating in the board room. It was presumably that the couple found that their savings had disappeared, but it seemed that they didn't pay attention to the information in the newspaper. .

Because the environment here was too bad, Miser and the others didn't stay long, and went straight back to the Devil's Department Store.

At this time, the handwriting on the bucket list finally changed.

"Hope that kid pays the price."

"Which one?" Robert asked stupidly again.

"Where else do you think he has access to children?" Miser shrugged.

Belphegor smiled and said, "We're going back to the orphanage again. Seriously, dear, don't you think children are cute?"

"No," Miser said blankly, "I hate children, and I have enough children, thank you."

This time it was not easy to find out. After all, it happened at least 30 years ago. Many of the nurses had retired, and the conflicts between the children would not be recorded like where Daniel came from.

Fortunately, Miser and the others found the person in charge of the orphanage, and through him, they found the retired nurse who had worked here.

It was an old lady in her 60s, but she had a pretty good memory. When Miser and the others asked Daniel, they quickly talked about one thing.

Healthy children in orphanages are generally sent out as quickly as possible, because they are better able to integrate into the new family because they are young, but Daniel's situation is quite special.

He is not without parents. Although he has been trafficked once and his parents have been imprisoned, the young Daniel still had a glimmer of hope for his parents.

During that period of economic downturn, there were very few adopters, coupled with the respect for children's opinions, so the order of Daniel's adoption was always at the back.

This line was lined up until his parents were released from prison and made it clear that they were unable to raise the child. The orphanage finally began to help the sad Daniel find a new home. However, Daniel was already 14 years old at that time, and many families were unwilling to be with such an older child. It's also a time for children who are in the rebellious period to run in.

"But he is actually a good boy," the old lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "He is very kind, obedient and sensible, and often helps us take care of other disabled children, but God is too unfair to him."

When Daniel reached the end of his 14th year, he finally welcomed a family willing to adopt an older child. The conditions of that family were quite good. If Daniel could join, he would definitely live a happy life. The nurses in the orphanage were very happy for him. .

However, the day before Daniel was about to meet the family, he fell from the window sill on the second floor, broke a leg, and was admitted to the hospital, thus passing away the opportunity to change his fate.

Miser understood, and asked, "So who was the last one adopted by that family back then?"
