The mermaid is really not ordinary ugly.

Even though he already had a deep impression of it, it was just a consciousness that passed through his mind by chance.

The creepy feeling of horror when facing it comes from the natural fear of human beings towards corpses, and this kind of weird creatures like floating corpses are naturally included in it.

Owl didn't feel scared, but he was also disgusted—the boss definitely did it on purpose, and felt that he didn't want to eat eel anymore in his life.

Unexpectedly, these monsters do not have the terrifying strength to match their terrifying appearance-the only advantage is probably that their bones are very hard.

It didn't take much time to clean them up.

Standing in the pus-splattered warehouse, the young man surrounded by the corpse of the mermaid was expressionless. The rain stopped at some point, and the warehouse was so quiet that there was no second breath. Bingshen could hear the water drops under the eaves The sound of "click" smashing into the muddy puddle on the side of the road.

The excellent five senses that were not affected much at night allowed him to clearly see the drawing parasite crawling out of the mermaid's corpse, and the rotten smell of the corpse and the fishy smell in his nose were enough to make one passively enter the sage model.

With a numb face, he deliberately ignored his hand reaching for the corpse, as if his soul had already flown to the other side of the shattered sky, witnessing the first ray of golden red breaking through the sea, and the glow rising.Afterwards, it melted into the morning sun together with the dew on the young shoots.

The reminder that the task was completed dragged him from the warm sun back to the corpse-smelling purgatory of the warehouse.

Owl received the reward, but he was not happy at all. He came to the city's famous river like a long-haired cat who had been beaten to the head, and a blank wandering soul. The expression he stared at the clear water made people suspect that he would turn into a liquid at any time Go into the water.

The boy with the gray ponytail - the hood was lifted by the wind during the fight (Maomao refused to touch his clean cloak with the hand that touched the corpse!

)——slowly took off the half-fingered gloves on his hands, and threw them back in a ball.

"Oh!"

Smashed into a trash can not far away.

He squatted by the river, scooped up the clear river water and rubbed his hands until his knuckles turned red, making sure that there was no sticky feeling of corpse fluid on his hands, and then reluctantly shook off the cold water drops between his fingers.

Owl looked at the pair of fair, youthful hands in front of him, and couldn't imagine how these hands possessed the strength to easily twist the monster's steel-like spine.

But at this moment, the hands with slender knuckles and well-defined joints were red with grievances, almost rubbed off a layer of skin by him, and there was still water vapor.

Owl took a deep breath and warned himself secretly.

"Remember clearly, this is what happens when you owe money to the tavern owner!"

"No matter how poor you are, you can't credit that guy!"

The white roses in the glass greenhouse in front of the tavern are carefree and still blooming as well as yesterday.

"GinTonic."

The sound of the wind chimes sounded, and the boy sat down in front of the bar.

"Underage should not drink alcohol."

While the boss was muttering, the mechanical arm honestly took the coins on the table, quickly mixed a glass of wine and pushed it in front of the boy.

The currency of the city of the abyss is a compound coin minted by the rare metal mithril and a unique purple gemstone, which is of high value.

In other words, for the next half month, Owl has a temporary supply point in Yokohama.

The orange cat rubbed back and forth at his feet, its elongated meowing sound exceedingly sweet.

The boss didn't clean the cup this time, instead he leaned closer to the indifferent young man and asked in a low voice, "How is the mermaid's beauty?"

Owl showed an indescribable expression, looking at the mean smile on the boss's face, his hands were ready to move.

"Okay, okay, if I don't mess with you, just take it as my apology and expose this matter, how about it?"

Not knowing if he foresaw the future of being beaten, the boss quickly took out a black gift box from under the bar and pushed it to Owl.

Well, there is also a flirty bow tied with a pink ribbon on it.

Owl was a little reluctant to open it.

In the end, I was still curious about what the boss prepared in the box.

A brand new pair of gloves, similar to his previous pair.

He rolled his eyes at the innocent-looking boss, and accepted the apology with restraint.

The boss let out an exaggerated sigh of relief.

"Young man, do you want to know more about teriyaki eel?"

"roll!"

A few days later, Owl has completed many tasks released by the system (including not limited to watching Mafia Rush and the mutated dead, communicating with the corpse of a mermaid under the moonlight, using hell food to poison the four-legged fish spirit , beat up the ghost captain trying to take over Twilight Tavern, etc.).

There were further changes to his profile, as follows:

【Name: Owl

Personality: It should be the most common juvenile character.

Background: A boy of unknown origin, who seems to be 14 years old, suddenly appeared in Yokohama one afternoon, moving aimlessly, as if looking for something (the next process needs to be through the instance "■■■■") unlock).

Skills: Make good use of a scabbard dagger, proficient in firearms, proficient in lockpicking, proficient in hell cooking, proficient in all means of transportation (driving, maintenance).

Ability: Unknown. 】

The fresh morning breeze blows away the chaotic thoughts, and last night's cloud and drizzle were all hidden in an invisible box by Yokohama.

Even the particularly unruly fog became tame at this time, snow white like the fluffy hair of a sheep, under the tuning of the sun, Yokohama was like an island city hidden in the clouds.

It was strangely gentle.

It has been raining intermittently these days, and the sky is drowsy like drunk, and he is busy exploring the system and his own identity, so he hasn't had time to get to know the city.

Owl walked slowly on the somewhat muddy road, and smelled the gunpowder smoke soaked in the bone marrow of the city from the wall with mottled bullet marks, which could not be washed away even by several days of rain.

There were still no people on the street, but the arrival of the sun seemed to drive away the darkness for a short time. A three-colored cat squinted comfortably on the half wall that collapsed because of Mafia's fight, and behind him was the shadow of the moon that had not completely left the horizon.

"Ok?"

The gray-haired boy seemed to have remembered something, and walked back backwards, stopping in front of the three-flowered cat with a trembling beard.

Without the interference of light, those golden pupils were filled with shattered light, like broken glass beads, as if in the world of these eyes, no secret could be hidden in front of him.

The braid on the right cheek dangles and hangs down, which is a temptation that no cat can ignore.

The three-flowered cat held its paws calmly, and looked at the boy calmly.

Owl suddenly had the feeling that he was being embraced by this cat.

Hey, what's the matter with this elder's sense of sight?

What a strange cat.

But it's not like he hasn't seen an even weirder cat—yes, that's what he's talking about!The strange cat kept by the tavern owner! !

What's more frightening is that that strange cat always likes to pester him and act like a baby.

If you bring a similar one to it, it should divert some attention and stop pestering him, right?

With this in mind, Owl pinched the nape of Maomao's neck, put Sanhua into the cloak very naturally, and left as if nothing had happened.

The gentle wind blows from one end of the street to the other, gently caressing the half-section of the wall that is empty of cats, blowing a few strands of the boy's long hair.

Nobody knows what's going on here except it—

A cat was kidnapped ruthlessly.

Pedestrians passing by here by chance glanced at it, and would never have guessed that in the cloak of the young man strolling leisurely over there, there was an innocent Sanhua that was forcibly taken away.

"A Mojito."

I don't know if the name of the tavern is not good for Feng Shui. These owls have been here many times, but they have never seen any guests other than themselves in the tavern. The number of customers is surprisingly low.

Or should the boss really know how to pick names?

"Hey, it's really rude to think so! I really want to get rich too, what can I do without guests? Of course I can only catch one of your sheep and squeeze it hard."

The boss who was complained about said so at the risk of being beaten by Miaomiao fist.

I don't know if there was too much movement outside, an orange cat's head poked out from the kitchen, and saw the boy in front of the bar, his blue cat's eyes shone with surprise.

Owl: "..."

Before the orange cat pounced on him and acted coquettishly, the owl first sacrificed the secret weapon "three-flowered cat", which successfully diverted the cat's attention.

Sanhua Natsume Soseki Maomao, who had been misled, dealt helplessly with the orange cat Maomao who was trying to lick its fur, but looked at the pair of hostess and guests in front of the bar with a glint of sharpness in their eyes.

Being kidnapped by that boy was all an accident—well, he was indeed a little curious about the little foreign guests with unique temperament who were haunting Yokohama these days, but it was this tavern that made him wary.

"Twilight Tavern".

As the uncrowned king of cats in this area of ​​Yokohama, a veritable snake-like existence, he never knew when such a tavern with a strange name opened near Leibo Street?

The host and the guest at the bar were unaware of the cat's thoughts.

The boss noticed the sharp-eyed three-colored cat and wondered, "Where did this cat come from?"

Owl was maintaining the dagger, and replied casually, "It was tied up on the street."

The boss was rarely choked: "Gongsanhua is very rare."

"so?"

Boss: "If there is an owner, they will probably be very anxious."

"Impossible." The boy wiped the edge of the dagger gently with soft silk, put it back in his sleeve, and pointed out sharply: "The cat with the owner, is it not neutered?"

Boss: "emm..."

He thought about it for a while, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, so he replied in agreement: "You are right."

Natsume Sanhua: "..."

Cat's Claw Warning.jpg

The conversation continues.

Boss: "Do you want to raise it? Gongsanhua is said to have the property of attracting wealth, and it is an ssr-level existence among cats."

The boy was surprised: "You don't raise it?"

The boss showed a helpless expression, with a somewhat flaunting tone: "Don't look at Mi Jiang who likes to ignore me, in fact, she is very possessive! It is impossible for me to abandon her and raise another cat of!"

Owl rolled his eyes.

"I can't keep it. I can't even support myself now, and you can see that its fur is neat and shiny. Maybe it's better than me in the outside world."

The boss nodded, thinking of the situation in this city, sighed: "Yes, the world is so chaotic, people are not as good as cats."

There was silence in the tavern.

After a while, the boss brought up a new topic.

"Someone went missing last night."

No one noticed that the ear tips of the Sanhua cat in the corner moved and eavesdropped silently. The orange cat squinted its blue eyes, watching the tip of Sanhua's unconsciously wagging tail with great interest.

The Mojito on the bar is transparent and colorless. Because of the addition of ice cubes, the outer wall of the cup quickly condenses and becomes a little hazy.

The young man was obviously not very interested in this topic. He lay on the table and stared blankly at the ups and downs of ice cubes in the glass, poking the tender green mint leaves boredly, letting his fingertips get a little bit of wine.

The boss gave up the topic and glared at him angrily: "Hey, don't order it if you don't want to drink it. This is the mint leaf with the most beautiful curvature that I carefully selected!"

Owl raised his eyelids to look at him, this action made his face squeezed into a bun-like face, unexpectedly adding a touch of childishness.

"Ah!"

As if deliberately provocative, he bit off the mint leaf and gave the boss a disdainful look.

The boss covered his heart in a playful manner, and was heartbroken: "Ah! My most beautiful child! Was swallowed by the evil beast of the abyss!"

"Uh... poof."

The owl snorted, spit out the mint leaves that had been chewed into a ball, and asked: "If you are watched by the abyss, what will happen?"

The boss stopped the drama and added mint leaves to the cup again, "Being watched by the abyss...it will probably be a nightmare."

"Oh."

The gray-haired boy showed dead fish eyes.

No wonder the promised copy has never been opened.

He hasn't slept yet...
