They all call me master

Chapter 34 Tenderness Above Scarlet (Please read~Please support~)

Arthur naturally knew that with the puppet, he would look weird, even scary.

After all, the puppet itself was created by Old Charlie for the purpose of scaring people.

It was creepy just by looking at it, let alone being carried out on a rainy day. Even if it scared a child into tears, Arthur wouldn't be surprised.

But facing the beggar, how could Arthur, who had the "magic weapon to defeat the enemy", not use it?

In fact, if time had not allowed, he would have ordered more puppets and scarecrows, and he planned to use a bunch of puppets and scarecrows to 'circle' the beggar.

Of course, the one in my arms is enough.

More is used for more, less is used for less.

Therefore, Arthur is apologetic to the people he frightened, but not regretful.

But the scene in front of him made Arthur feel puzzled——

Marionette dolls are enough to scare most people, but definitely not babies.

Especially babies a few months old.

The eyesight of such an old baby is not fully developed and can be considered highly myopic, making it impossible to see clearly the surrounding environment.

Not to mention the puppet doll in Arthur's arms.

And, even if the baby sees it, does he or she understand the puppet's fear?

Will not!

A baby this big can only be afraid of two things.

Hunger and pain.

Only these two things will make babies cry loudly.

What kind of baby is in front of you?

Arthur squinted his eyes and looked at it. In front of him was a man, a woman and a baby. They were dressed like middle-class people, but their clothes were a little shabby. The man's sleeves were a little frayed, and the woman's skirt style was popular a few years ago. .

The middle class is about to go bankrupt!

Anyone who sees the two people's outfits will think so.

thus neglecting the coarse cloth in which the baby was wrapped.

Wrapping babies in coarse cloth is most likely done by civilian families.

The middle class, even the middle class that is about to go bankrupt, is far more than ordinary families. It is impossible for them to wrap their children in such inferior coarse cloth.

Especially the middle class who are about to go bankrupt will try their best to retain the last bit of dignity, let alone use coarse cloth.

The most important thing is that a mother will not clenched her hands and hurt her child because of nervousness.

Even if this mother was extremely careless, she should have hugged her child tightly and hidden it in her arms, instead of holding it as tightly as she was about to throw it out at any time.

It's an item.

Not a child.

With the [Fire-Gaze] and [Awareness] flashing, Arthur took in everything. When he saw the man and woman start to panic after being startled, he roughly confirmed their identities.

Human traffickers!

Or a trafficker who steals babies!

Stealing a baby in South Los Angeles is a felony and punishable by death!

However, some people still take risks.

Because, the profits are huge.

A healthy baby can easily be sold for 10 gold tickets. After all, some buyers with special needs don't care about the price at all. If they are in urgent need, they can increase the price again - the purity of babies is well known, and Nanlos can even take baby blood. There are rumors about getting rid of diseases and regaining health. Some people even believe that eating newborn babies can increase life span.

Although after the 'witch hunt', all kinds of evil deeds have long since subsided.

But in the face of interests, there is definitely no shortage of daring guys.

The man and woman in front of him were obviously such people.

call!

Arthur withdrew his gaze, took a breath, slowly put away his umbrella, put the psychic box at his feet, let the puppet sit on his lap, and then patted the car.

The driver of the omnibus heard the noise and stopped the carriage immediately.

Arthur whispered to Wiggins.

"I need a moment."

Although Wiggins didn't understand what Arthur was going to do, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and closed the carriage door again while delaying time for Arthur.

This is not difficult. You have to pay the fare when you get off the public carriage. As long as you don't pay, the coachman will pester you for a long time, and then there will be verbal criticism from the passengers on the carriage.

Of course, the most important thing is that the drivers of the public carriages are all strong young men.

In the early days of the Nanlos public carriage operation, there were no clear regulations on the age and strength of the coachmen. However, with the occurrence of several stagecoach robberies, the situation changed. Young, strong coachmen, especially those who knew swordsmanship, You will be welcomed and given preferential treatment.

Wiggins doesn’t need that, though.

Wiggins's own status is enough for the coachman to give him corresponding 'respect'.

Compared with ordinary citizens, these public carriage drivers know better who they can and cannot mess with.

Goldfinger like Wiggins belongs to the type who can't be provoked without being provoked.

The closed carriage door made the words of Wiggins and the coachman inaudible, while Arthur carefully played with the puppets.

He turned the puppet around to face the man and woman, raised the puppet's arm and pointed at them, asking softly.

"Well, is it them?"

"You feel pain?"

"Don't worry, they will hurt more in a while!"

Arthur's voice became low and gloomy. The raindrops kept beating on the carriage, just like hitting the heart. The expressions of the man and woman changed greatly. The woman among them turned pale and her whole body began to tremble. , the man was also frightened, but he still took out a dagger and pointed it at Arthur.

"Be smart! We don't want to cause trouble!"

The man yelled sternly.

This situation allowed Arthur to dispel his last remaining doubts.

Everything just now was just speculation.

Even if there are many clues, guessing may be wrong.

However, threats will not.

Arthur looked at each other with a smile.

The next moment, the eyes turned a faint golden color, and the round pupils began to elongate.

When gold fills the eyes, the light in the vertical pupils becomes cold.

A man and a woman who came into contact with Arthur's eyes began to scream.

"snake!"

"Snake!"

The two of them were as frightened as madmen and were about to flee out of the carriage.

But Arthur was faster. He first snatched the baby from the woman's hand, and then snatched the dagger from the man's hand.

then?

The dagger passed across both men's throats.

puff!

Blood spurted out, and the carriage was filled with blood.

When Wiggins heard the noise and opened the carriage door again, he almost knelt down.

"K, K..."

"The two of them who stole babies are probably habitual offenders."

Facing Wiggins, who was stuttering a bit, Arthur carefully held the baby in his arms and spoke in a deliberately lowered voice.

He was worried that the baby would be woken up and start crying, which would cause trouble - he was just trying to coax the baby, but if it really wanted to cry, he would be in a hurry and have no solution.

Wiggins nodded blankly. He knew he should call the police, but he couldn't help but stop and look at Arthur, who was sitting in the crimson with the baby in his arms.

At the man's feet, the two corpses were still bleeding, but the baby was sleeping soundly and breathing evenly in the man's arms.

The man treated the baby who had just come into the world with unprecedented tenderness.

Gentleness and purity bloom with a faint light in this rain.

This strange scene attracted Wiggins's attention.

What a gentle person!

Wiggins thought to himself.

But the next moment, he shook his head vigorously.

because……

The blood of the two traffickers dripped on the uppers of his shoes.

It's not that he pities the traffickers. In the eyes of Goldfinger, such people do not deserve mercy at all, but the shoes are his own.

However, Wiggins knows what is most important now.

Goldfinger turned around and ran away to find the police.

After being delayed for twenty minutes and everything being handed over to the police, Arthur changed to a carriage and continued moving forward under the guidance of Wiggins.

In the car, Scott, who was attracted by the case, exclaimed.

"Arthur, you are such a gentle person. The baby didn't cry or fuss in your arms just now."

Wiggins on the side secretly curled his lips when he heard this.

gentle?

Are you blind? Didn't you see the two corpses with their throats cut?

Although those two deserved to die, was Arthur gentle?

Even if tenderness exists, it is still illuminated by scarlet.

Wiggins cursed in his heart.

Scott didn't pay attention to this. He asked Arthur in detail what happened just now, which was related to tomorrow's supplement.

"Arthur, how did you realize something was wrong?"

"'Anna' told me."

"Anna?"

Scott was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Arthur pointing at the puppet in his arms - Arthur was very familiar with how to get more XP.

‘Psychic’ Arthur has appeared continuously in the eyes of the public in South Los Angeles, which will bring aesthetic fatigue to those who read newspapers.

People themselves are people who pursue novelty.

Knowing this, Arthur naturally maintained this sense of freshness.

So, the puppet doll has a brand new name.

But Scott didn't know that.

The young reporter glanced at Arthur with some embarrassment. After noticing that Arthur nodded slightly and his eyes were full of encouragement, he immediately nodded towards the puppet.

"Hello, Ms. Anna."

The skirt on the puppet doll made the young reporter call it that.

Naturally, the puppet doll did not respond to the young reporter's greeting, but the young reporter was looking for a reasonable explanation on his own.

"Well, it should be that I don't have the talent, so I can't hear Ms. Anna's response, and she has already responded to me."

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Anna."

With that said, Scott bowed apologetically.

Wiggins, who was watching this scene, felt his scalp numb and twisted a few times unnaturally.

He had felt that Scott was a little abnormal before.

This is now proven.

Staying with an abnormal person, the scary doll, and especially a psychic who looks normal but is completely abnormal, Goldfinger always feels pressure on his face.

Deep down in his heart, the golden finger prayed that he would reach his destination quickly.

However, the journey did not shorten with Wiggins' prayer.

It was still fifteen minutes before the carriage stopped.

Before the carriage really stopped, Wiggins opened the carriage door, jumped out and said -

"arrive!"
