Oracle of Terra

"So, what clues do you have?"

"Not yet. To be precise, I still need you to give me some goals before I can find them."

"That's fine. I'll contact the Guards Bureau recently to ask if anyone wants to be arrested. Come to me every Wednesday afternoon. I'll tell you who the target is, and you can help me find it."

"Okay, let's have a glass of the cheapest wine."

"No, it's the first time to patronize, for the sake of a good brother, I will treat you once."

"How embarrassing."

"Everyone who has drunk is a brother. You don't need to be so identifiable. If you can really make money from clues, I will count it as your drinking fee."

"That's okay, let's get a bottle of Ursus vodka!"

"Wow, are you really not afraid of drinking broken pieces?"

"I drink very well."

"Then I'll wait and see."

One ghost and one demon, drinking from the afternoon to the night, the final result was that Ah Fa closed the door early, while Telles staggered back into the house smelling of alcohol, seeing Grandma helplessly.

"Ah, don't imitate you, Brother Art, and drink like this."

"Hey, I know, Mamaw."

Ah Zi swallowed, looking at Telles who was almost drunk and out of shape in front of him, he had no choice but to help him cover his head with the quilt, and then went back to his room to continue to study his own fish balls.

——the next day

"Depend on!"

With a hangover and trusting, Telles, who felt his veins throbbing, poured a cup of tea to sober up. Although Sarkaz's blood allowed him to drink quite well, the level of Ursas vodka was far beyond imagination.

"Next time, I'd better drink something lighter, and my stomach is empty, so go to Ah Zi's room to see if there are any fish balls to cushion my stomach."

When letting that pretty face put on pain and was about to leave, he found a lunch box full of fish balls in front of the door, which made him laugh out loud.

"That kid, Auntie."

The care from Azi next door made him smile wryly. Finally, after eating the box of fish balls, Telles also washed the lunch box and sent it back to Azi’s room. Then he picked up his own food The guy left the house and went to set up a fortune-telling stall.

However, the cordon was removed from the original seat of his stall, which made him a little puzzled, so he dragged a familiar child over.

"A Xing, what's the matter?"

"Brother Arte, the Guard Bureau is investigating the case. Fortunately, you didn't come to set up a stall yesterday. There was a group fight here yesterday, and you accidentally killed someone."

"Good guy.... I was afraid yesterday that I might be involved."

"Yeah, the Guards Bureau is now investigating the murderer, and the one who died was Brother Tom from Gulao's side, but it seems that the person who started the attack was not from our slum."

"Gangs in the city?"

"Yes, I was upstairs yesterday, watching them chase from above, all masked, and beat Cruise to death with a stick."

Having said that, the child's voice started to sob.

"Brother Art, Brother Tom often buys fish balls for us to eat. If you can help find the criminal who killed Brother Art, Jiujiu, Xiaolin and I will give you money."

"Stinky boy, who is going to take your money? Is it okay for me to earn money from the Guard Bureau?"

"what?"

Ah Xing looked dazed, and the originally sad mood was diluted a lot.

"Brother Art, how do you make money from the Guards Bureau?"

"Provide clues."

Looking at the cordon that was pulled away, Telles had a hearty smile on his face, but there was no smile at all in the iridescent eyes under the small round sunglasses.

03. Enthusiastic citizen Arte

At night, fear will hang over brother... Ah no Longmen.

As for the death of acquaintances, to be honest, if it wasn’t for the death of the person who shared the same pot of food with him like this and took care of him every day, Telles would not particularly care about it. At most, he would mourn in his heart. But the young man named Ah Tang, although he is not very familiar with him, is also an enthusiastic guy who cares about the children, whether he will take them to eat at the fish ball stall of Ah Zuo and Dong Abo.

Although others can't say they are innocent, after all, Old Man Nine is also a respectable old gangster in the slums of the lower city. As his adopted son, if A Tang said that he did not offend anyone, Telles would not believe him. He would not believe bad things. After all, he lived in a slum. Except for a newcomer like him, who could make a living with his strange prophecy, and with the help of Mostima, he had Except for those who live in shelters, most people living in slums are somewhat dirty.

For example, Azi, even though he is really just a seafood vendor, he has a knife skill taught by Dong Abo, and there are gangsters who don't have eyes all day long who come to his door and are cleaned up by him, which can be regarded as the cause and effect in the slums.

Being resented, targeted, and beaten back is also the law of survival in the slums. Although Azi is kind and amiable, he is not a coward who cannot fight back. His warm heart does not mean that he is a bodhisattva.

This is the most chaotic slum in Longmen, and it is common for people to die. After all, the infected people of Longmen gather here, and it is very strange that people like Ah Tang were beaten to death by people outside the lower city.

Although the lower city is not completely unrelated to the gangs outside, it has not developed to the point of life and death.

After nightfall, Telles didn't go home with his long banner, but went straight to the place where Ah Tang was in the first place in his prophecy.

A warehouse located in the urban area outside the slums.

Longmen is a city that never sleeps. Even at night, it is brightly lit, and the wine is red and green. It's just that Telles is a young man with white and long hair, wearing an old gown that seems to have come out of the previous generation, and carrying a streamer. is rare.

So instead of taking the avenue, he walked along the eaves between tall buildings, and finally came to a warehouse in the outer city, which was a long way from the slums. The man in black found out, and was chased to the slums and beaten to death.

"It's weird, it's so weird."

Telles went all the way and found something strange. Why was Ah Tang beaten to death in the slums after traveling so far?

And not on the way?

Or are these people planning to go to the slums with Ah Tang intentionally?

"Strange."

Telles touched the back door of the warehouse with a look of doubt, and then climbed straight up to the container on the side, looking at the interior of the warehouse from the outside, his iridescent eyes exuded a strange brilliance in the night, allowing him to look at the warehouse I can see clearly.

"Hiss, my mother..."

When he saw clearly the figures moving inside, he couldn't calm down a little.

Those men in black were neat and tidy, and they were carrying the origin stone products that emitted a dangerous light in the dark warehouse, and he had seen these things among the goods transported by Mostima.

- it's dynamite

And with such a large amount, it is obviously enough to blow up a block of Longmen to the sky.

What these people want to do with so many explosives in such a dark place can't be sure, but it's not a good thing, and he didn't plan to rush into Wushuang just like this, he didn't want to be bombed, And maybe Wushuang can't get up.

After looking around, feeling the breath, and confirming that there was no one around, Telles nodded and slipped all the way to the main road, attracting a lot of onlookers, and there were a few beautiful young ladies who came to ask him for fortune-telling, so in order not to cause trouble No doubts, he accepted the job with a smile, and then made the calculations for those beautiful girls, and finally ran all the way to Ah Fa's bar with a cold face.

Because it was already night, there were still quite a few customers in Ah Fa's bar, and the one who caught the most attention was a tall and tall ghost, whose head was taller than Trizz's, and his dark green hair was also very conspicuous.

"Yo, Art? How was yesterday?"

"It's not good, I threw up all night."

His face was a bit ugly and he raised his eyebrows, the stamina of that vodka was still fresh in his memory.

"Speaking of which, it's also the right time for you to come today. Come and get to know the Ghost Sister who is currently working in the Guard Bureau."

"Hello, Miss Ghost."

"Hello? I said Ah Fa, your friend's dress is quite nostalgic."

Seeing Telles dressed in a long gown and small round sunglasses, plus the long flag that was hanging, Sister Gui also smiled helplessly.

"He's a fortune teller. He's a new face in downtown. His name is Art."

"I'm Hoshiguma, inspector of the Guard Bureau, so don't call me Ghost Sister, Hoshiguma or Hoshi-Sir is fine."

"How can it be? Ah Fa and I are good brothers who hit it off right away. Ah Fa's ghost sister is my ghost sister! But it's great that you are here, sister ghost. I have something to report to the Guard Bureau."

"Notice?"

Hoshiguma stopped pouring the drink into her mouth, after all, the notification meant that she was about to go to work.

"Yes, it's about the killing of Ah Tang at Master Ninth's side this morning."

"That matter... There are no clues yet. The men in black are veterans, and their whereabouts were cut off outside the slums. Do you have any clues?"

"Actually..."

Telles told Hoshiguma that he found a bunch of origin stone bombs in the warehouse in the outer city, which made the senior inspector's face change. After all, it is not just simple to let such a large number of origin stone bombs flow into the dragon gate homicide problem.

"Ah Fa, I'm leaving first, and the wine money will be charged to the account first."

"It's okay, you don't need to remember the money for this drink."

Ah Fa waved his hand, and Hoshiguma scratched his head, and walked out the door directly, and Telles also understood why the door of Ah Fa's bar was built so high.

"Do you want to drink? Today's news about you is really amazing."

"Drink, but can you get money for this news?"

"Yes, maybe I will send you a pennant, enthusiastic citizen Art."

The corner of Telles's mouth twitched, always feeling that this seemed to have some sense of déjà vu, but it would be a good thing if he could get the money.

"That's a good relationship! Then I will bring my buddies to your place for a drink."

"It's okay, anyway, Longmen has always been generous with rewards for reporting such clues. According to the usual practice, you should be able to get about [-] Longmen coins this time. Because you are directly reporting to Guijie, I will not divide your money."

— Thirty thousand!

Your thunderous voice exploded in Telles' mind.

"Hey, how many days do I have to set up a stall to get [-] Longmen coins?"

"After all, your matter is really explosive, even if something happens, the Guards Bureau can't handle it."

"But you said those people really wanted to blow up the Dragon Gate?"

"No, I'm afraid it's smuggling. Longmen is just a transit point, but to be able to transport such a large amount of Originium bombs in, there must be an insider, so there should be quite a lot of rewards."

"Hey, I have to thank the Guard Bureau, but [-] points still need to be [-] points. I am honest. If I tell Sister Gui if I am not here with you, I am afraid she will not believe it easily."

"Your words are wrong. It's about the safety of Longmen. Sister Gui will believe you."

"So you believe me too? What happened just now?"

Hearing Telles' question, Ah Fa also smiled.

"Actually, there are traces of what you said. Those people chased Ah Tang to the slums, in fact, to confirm that he is not a member of other gangs, but the gangs here in our slums are also small troubles, and they are really in charge. It was Mr. Lin. Even if they killed Mr. Lin in the slums, it would be difficult to find them. After all, the Guards Bureau couldn’t find any traces, but the warehouse you mentioned is rarely used in Longmen. , and your description is very specific and reliable, Sister Gui is not stupid, so I will definitely believe you."

"Well, then I have to work harder."

"Come on, it's rare to encounter such cases. It's not so easy for you to encounter so many cases."

Ah Fa dismissed his unrealistic thoughts, but Telles always had a premonition.

"Maybe I can meet you?"

Maybe he is still a Shinigami elementary school student... Ah no, the Shinigami fortune teller.

- the next day

With another headache, Telles woke up, but the radio on the bedside broadcasted that the Guard Bureau had cracked an Originium bomb smuggling case, which made him a little satisfied, but he didn't know when the Guard Bureau would reward him. send.

"Brother Art! Something happened!"

But along with the headache, there was the voice of Azi next door.

"What's the matter, Azi? It's early in the morning."

"Brother Art, did you drink again last night?"

Azi looked at Telles, who was looking down, and was a little worried.

"It's okay, it's Ah Fa's treat. I drank a little too much, so what's the matter?"

"Yesterday, the murderer who killed Ah Tang has been found! It is a gangster who smuggled from overseas. I heard that they are going to evacuate in two days."

"That's it?"

"This is a big deal. I heard that several of their warehouses are full of origin stone products. If they are used improperly, they may even blow up half of the dragon gate. According to the internal information from Uncle, they seem to have been hoarding in the dragon gate for more than ten years. , ready to transfer to Ursas within this year."

"Is this a transnational smuggling case?"

"More than that, I heard from Uncle that this incident seems to be helped by the local infected people in Longmen and the ghosts from the Guard Bureau."

Ah Fa also said about this matter yesterday, there may be an inner ghost, but it was unexpected for the infected person to take part in Telles.
