Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

The burly man didn't say a word, didn't respond but didn't leave, and couldn't see any expression on his face wearing sunglasses.

Bai Hua glanced at the other party's appearance, stood up from the small bench and sighed.

"If you are just a guest, at least store the large hunting knife tied to your left leg at the counter. As for the portable crossbow bolt on the right side of the coat, you don't need it. It takes at least ten seconds for that thing to be taken out and assembled. That's enough time for me to call for help."

"I'm not a robber, nor a guest."

After a brief silence, the burly man in black in front of him opened his suit, and there was indeed a folding crossbow hidden in the right side of his abdomen, as Bai Hua said.

"So you're lost?"

"—He is my bodyguard, but he is temporarily in charge of checking attendance."

The door of the candy store was pushed open again, and this time an old Zarak (rat) man walked in, holding a cane and wearing a pure white fluffy coat.

"Huh!? Old... old, boss?"

After seeing the other party, Bai Hua, who had been sleepy before, directly widened her eyes.

It was the owner of this candy store who entered the door at this time, and also the owner of Bai Hua's Thursday limit.

"..."

After a brief silence, Bai Hua walked up to the strong man.

"Welcome to this handsome brother. You can sniff roses even if you have a tiger in your heart. This store can not only satisfy children's innocent fantasies, but also provide a soft corner for strong men to rest. Although there are no special discounts today, but for those who are busy and hardworking Lord Knight, please allow me to offer you a small gift."

Bai Hua clenched his fists in front of the strong man, and when he opened it again, there was an extra knuckle inside.

"Cramming is no use, young man."

After watching Bai Hua's performance, the old man on crutches said with a smile.

Moyu is good, but if Moyu is bumped into by the leader...

Tut tut

Chapter 22 Shushu, I am going to be angry

Generally atavistic Lupus use their tongues to dissipate heat because they lack sweat glands in their bodies.

However, the Lupus who have obvious characteristics of hands, feet and limbs on the Terra continent can still sweat.

For example, at this moment, Bai Hua was sweating profusely with her head bowed and silent, her tail was no longer the usual high toe that flicked around, but drooped listlessly.

In front of Bai Hua was a smiling face, staring at Mr. Zalak, who was stroking his beard, and also the owner of the shop.

"You don't seem to have made any mistake in your work, young man. I'm not angry at all."

"That, that... Actually, there is a reason for this! My trick is a kind of military art that has been passed down from ancient times to the present! It is called 'The former wolf pretends to sleep and cover to lure the enemy', as the name suggests, it is to pretend to sleep to attract those who think they can chatter Cheap kids, let them... sorry boss, I'm fishing at work."

At the beginning, Bai Hua frantically tried to make up a plausible reason, but she gave up after talking about it, and honestly admitted the fact that she was caught fishing for work.

Although Bai Hua likes to play badly, it doesn't mean he likes to be blunt. If he makes a mistake, he should apologize honestly.

"Hehehe, young people who can admit their mistakes so frankly these days are rare."

The older mouse nodded, laughing, at least not sounding so pleasant this time.

I said before that Bai Hua likes Thursday very much because of the part-time job he found in the candy store.

At first, Bai Hua came to this candy store only on an errand mission, but it happened to be a temporary job, so she helped out. After all, it was easier to earn money than most unexplained commissions.

Because her performance was not bad, Bai Hua became a stable part-time employee.

At first, Bai Hua thought it was quite cool, after all, the boss didn't come back when he usually went to work, at most he would come to the shop to wander around before leaving get off work.

Therefore, every week in this store 123567, you can see big brothers and sisters who are always smiling and full of energy. Only on Thursday, you can only see a gray wolf lying on the table and pointing the way with its ears.

Because I can occasionally meet the boss when I am off work, because of etiquette and "pretending to be a decent person in front of the boss", Bai Hua will enthusiastically communicate with the boss. Although the relationship has become a lot more familiar, Bai Hua has also noticed some other questions.

"Speaking of young man, why do you think he's going to rob? You didn't even look up at him at that time, and the weapon was hidden in your arms."

The old man pointed to the burly bodyguard beside him, and asked Bai Hua with great interest.

"Uh... In fact, the gender and body shape of the opponent is mainly judged by the sound of footsteps. As for the weapon, it is because the sound of the opponent's two feet is slightly different. It is obvious that the center of gravity has been artificially changed. Combined with the previously estimated body shape , there is a high probability that it is a burly man with a hidden weapon. As for the machete... I only noticed it when I looked up and saw the deformed protrusion."

Bai Hua responded honestly to the boss, while Shu Wang smiled and nodded after listening.

"I see, but I didn't feel me outside the glass window. In a sense, this is a more terrifying power of observation than Originium skills."

"That... I'm going to sort out the stocking now!"

The old man stared at Bai Hua more and more guilty, he could only quickly find a reason to slip away from the counter, so that at least he wouldn't have to meet the other party's eyes.

"Hehe, interesting kid."

The older Zarak was quite interested in Bai Hua's flustered reaction, and then signaled to the bodyguards on the side to leave first.

As I said before, Bai Hua vaguely felt some 'problems', and this problem was the way the candy store owner usually looked at her.It was a very subtle look, in a sense, not too different from when Lao Li first observed him, but it was impossible to ignore that there was also an uncomfortable chill in it.

Later, Bai Hua did a little research on this "ordinary old man walking around".It doesn't matter if you don't check, but after checking, it turns out that this old man who is always smiling is the "Rat King" who is in charge of the Longmen slum, or the "inside" of Longmen.

In the city-state of Longmen, light and darkness each have their own rulers.

On the bright and beautiful shell, it is controlled by a man named "Wei Yanwu" from the dragon clan of Yan Kingdom.

It is said that Wei Yanwu personally beheaded his brother in order to obtain the city.Drive the lords from Ursus out of the city-state.

And in these incidents, the existence who has been behind Wei Yanwu and dealt with those shady corpses is the dark ruler known as the "Rat King".

The "Rat King" is just a legend in the eyes of most people. After all, whether they are people living in urban areas or infected people in slums, most people do not have the "qualification" to see the Mouse King.

"Rat King" is not Wei Yanwu, he will not stand under the spotlight to announce the future agreement plan of Longmen, and he will not commend those young senior police superintendents in the auditorium of the Guard Bureau.

The "Rat King" will only actively appear in one situation: when there is impetigo bacteria in the city.

Anyone who wants to cross the line will witness the final outcome of disobedience to the Dragon Gate in the sudden cloud of dust.

After receiving the news, Bai Hua once thought about running away.After all, in a certain sense, I am not too different from Lao Lai. It is very normal for me to be taken away by the underworld, tied to a pillar, poured cement into the deep sea, and fed to Haisi.

But 'free candy', 'a part-time job that only needs to work one day a week to get a week's salary', 'you can lie on your stomach when you go to work' - these benefits have become the shackles that bind Bai Hua.

In short, Bai Hua vaguely realized the reason why Shu Wang paid so much attention to him, and also understood why he always wanted to make himself a full-time employee over and over again, but Bai Hua prevaricated all of them, pretending to be a bastard and continuing to work part-time. , as long as you don't get caught.

Strong people also have accurate eyesight. Although it may be a bit pretentious to say so, Bai Hua is very clear that the Shu King has noticed the "abnormality" in her body, and intends to use this "abnormal" ability for herself.

Oh, it can't be said to be pretending to be a fool, it should be said that he acted in his true colors.

As a result, Bai Hua was finally caught by the Mouse King today.

Bai Hua silently prayed in her heart that after she finished stocking, the boss known as the 'Rat King' would pat his butt and leave.

But when he placed the last piece of chocolate and returned to the counter, he found that the Mouse King was still sitting on the small bench beside the counter, with no intention of leaving.

...Looks like it's time to say goodbye to my crazy Thursday.

Bai Hua sighed and returned to the counter. Not surprisingly, the 'Rat King' opened his mouth first.

"Young man, this candy store is going to entertain some old friends this afternoon. I'll give you a holiday this afternoon. But before that, can you talk to me a little bit?"

Bai Hua took off her work clothes, stood by the counter and stared at the king of the slums, who looked very kind but had an air of keeping no strangers in.

"Bai Hua, if you are the owner of a shop, one day you find an employee in your shop. He is very capable at work and can't be picky about how he behaves, but—you don't know if he is from the shop next door. The 'spy' sent, if it is you, how do you plan to deal with this employee?"

While fiddling with the candies in his hand, the Mouse King smiled and asked Bai Hua some inexplicable topics at first.

"I will research whether the store next door regards my store as a competitor, and the recent capital flow of their boss, or hire the top detective of Li's Detective Agency to investigate whether there are commercial espionage."

Bai Hua replied while wiping off her cold sweat, and by the way, she didn't forget to advertise herself.

"Interesting answer, but you and I are very clear-there is no 'next door shop' here, there is just a sudden appearance, no reasonable identity and influence, but an existence that cannot be ignored, right?"

Shu Wang looked at Bai Hua, his light brown pupils met with the blue and gold pupils.

【Eliminate the unstable factors of Longmen】, this is something Shu Wang often does.

Obviously, the Shu King has regarded Bai Hua as an unstable factor, and he is very clear that this Lupus boy is a person who likes to play bad part-time jobs and fish for a detective agency-but this does not mean that this boy can only do this.

He may quickly become a core force wherever he goes, but the question is, will he choose Longmen?

Taking a step back, why did he choose Longmen?Is he escaping from the past like the lone wolf in Penguin Logistics?Or is it like those gangs entrenched in the shadows of the slums, waiting for the dragon to rot and die, and be able to get a share of the corpse?

After several months of observation, the Mouse King became more and more interested in Bai Hua. He was sure that this gray wolf possessed a power that should not be underestimated, but all he had shown so far was "emptiness".

The Shu King doesn't like such people. People should have goals. After having goals, his way of thinking and logic will become simple and easy to understand, and he can control them more easily.

"That... Boss, I really am"

ding dong~

Bai Hua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the doorbell before that.

A girl with long purple hair who was also Zalak opened the door and walked into the candy store.

"Dad, what do you want from me—"

The little mouse that entered the shop said something, but it also fell silent halfway through. To be more precise, after the little purple-haired mouse and the Birch Mouse King looked at each other, they suddenly forcibly turned off the fire and fell silent.

"..." "..."

Bai Hua's eyes met this 'acquaintance', and he recognized it immediately. This little mouse was entrusted to him to find the wallet some time ago, Lin Yuxia, the eldest lady of a certain noble family.

Because Bai Hua's attention was on Lin Yuxia at this time, she missed the expression of Shu Wang.

The Shu King smiled after seeing Lin Yuxia, and was about to say something, probably to ask Lin Yuxia to say hello or something.

"—I want to buy candy!"

Noticing that Shu Wang really wanted to say something, Lin Yuxia hurriedly yelled at Bai Hua to interrupt what Shu Wang was about to say. Such a majestic tone even stunned Bai Hua and Shu Wang.

"It's been a while, Miss Lin. It's the first time I've seen someone so anxious to buy candy..."

Bai Hua muttered in a low voice, when he was about to work honestly, he looked down at his clothes.

Casual clothes, not candy store uniforms.

"Sorry, I just got off work here, hello, thank you Toffee, goodbye!"

Realizing that she had already left work, Bai Hua took this opportunity to run away, leaving Lin Yuxia alone in the candy store with a dazed expression on her face.

"..."

Lin Yuxia blinked at the slowly closing door, while Shu Wang shook his head, thinking 'let him run away again', then walked to Lin Yuxia's side.

"Do you know that young man too, Yuxia?"

"It's okay, I just didn't expect that the person you mentioned earlier, Dad, is really him..."

"Then why don't you want to tell him your real 'identity'? I haven't seen you so irritable in a long time."

With a smile on his face, the Shu King asked Lin Yuxia why she stopped her from saying hello just now, although this would expose their "father-daughter" relationship.

Although Bai Hua has found out the identity of "Shu Wang", she doesn't know that Shu Wang has a daughter, and this daughter is Lin Yuxia, her former entrusted employer.

Bai Hua also didn't know that during her last trip to the slums, her actions left a deep impression on the little mouse princess.

"Now is not the time, I am somewhat interested in him. If possible, I hope that I can entrust him with an ordinary identity."

Lin Yuxia responded softly. Bai Hua's series of behaviors in the slums had impressed the daughter of the slum king deeply.

Why can he get along with the infected so easily?Why can he deal with ghetto problems in ways other than violence?Why is he sticking a pipe outside his gas mask? (This is purely a personal curiosity)

"Dad, you said that one day I will inherit the slums. Whether it is destroyed or reborn is up to me. But I don't even know the terrain of that forgotten area. If possible... I hope to make Bai Hua Tell me a little more about there, about the infected."

"Also, I hope to have a friend who doesn't care who I am—"

Jingle ~!

"squeak!?"

"Boss, I'm here to pick up the expiring candy, but I forgot to take it just now. By the way, was there any noise just now?"

In the middle of Lin Yuxia's speech, she was frightened by Bai Hua who suddenly came out again and let out a mouse cry. The daughter of the Mouse King immediately stared at Bai Hua with murderous eyes.

"Uh...Miss Lin, if you continue shopping, I won't bother you."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Bai Hua obediently took the candy away from the eyes that wanted to bite, closed the door and left.

"Hehe, my daughter—you said before that you are also a little interested in that young man, right?"

Shu Wang saw Lin Yuxia's flustered expression, and smiled thoughtfully while stroking his beard.

He originally planned to put a "chain" around the neck of this gray wolf that wandered from nowhere to the Dragon Gate, but after seeing his daughter's interest in that gray wolf, he had a new idea. It came to mind.
