[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

"Just sign here?" Aite looked at the bandages all over his body, and said, "Call Seven over here, I heard that guy has come back, right?"

"Why, did Seven go out in the morning?" Teoff asked.

"Captain, he disappeared not long after you went out. I guess he went crazy somewhere." Aite said indifferently, "It wasn't last night..." He shrugged.

"Okay, I'll call him." Teoff got up and said.

There were two knocks on the door of the room: "Captain, I'm here."

Outside the open door, Seven happened to come over, holding four chairs stacked together in one hand, the most common kind of four iron rods under a round stool, full of rust.He walked in, put the chair beside Ette's bed, and said flatly, "I'll deliver the chair."

"Exactly, Seven, we are about to ask you to sign the contract." Teoff said.

"Oh." Seven replied lifelessly, without saying anything about it, just lowered his head and silently moved out a chair and sat beside the table in the room.

Teof said: "Pull the table to this side, everyone sit down." He stretched out his hand and pulled the square table against the wall to Et's bed, and Seven silently pulled the chair forward.Theof lifted the remaining three stacked chairs over the table and handed them to us. Kuroro took them and placed them separately beside the table, and we sat down, facing the direction of the door.

Teov pulled the door behind the wooden chair that was originally placed by the table and sat down. Seven leaned against the wall and faced Etta who was sitting on the bed.The room is not big, and six people can sit full, but it is not too crowded.

Teoff took out the precious blank contract from the briefcase that he carried with him—speaking of which the briefcase was terrible, and the corners were worn and faded, but he had the nerve to carry it all the time—and put it gently on the On the table, he took out another pen and put it at hand.

"First of all, although everyone already knows each other, I'd like to introduce it again." Teoff said, looking around, starting from Etter who was sitting on his left, and said one by one: "Etter, Feitan, Lydia, Kurolo, Seven..."

Teof's hypocritical and boring opening words drifted in my ears. I sat on a cold iron stool, staring at the contract on the table with my eyes out of focus, and from time to time secretly looked at Seven who was sitting beside me from the corner of my eye.Seven sat on the edge of the table with his back hunched, staring down at the table, as if he had nothing else to do.

There is something wrong with this Seven, I thought suspiciously.

At the beginning, when the grocery store was not on the right track, Kuroro and I came to Seven's store more than once to exchange unremarkable supplies with him to pay for the protection fee. At that time, the feeling that Seven gave me He is a greedy and cunning unscrupulous businessman who sticks to his interests and refuses to let go. Although he is thin and not tall, he cares about every detail and speaks easily when he starts a business. Every time he talks about the price, he sucks a big mouthful of blood. After Luo Luo sold his things twice, he refused to come here again, and only then did he develop a business of scavenging outside the eighth district.But now, this Saiwen seems to be a different person, without the aggressive philistine he used to be, he seems to have lost his soul and doesn't care about anything, he is wooden and stiff, probably he doesn't bother to bargain with him now.

Thinking of the words of Teof and Aite, the people who died last night... I silently put a key mark on Seven's head.

"In order for everyone to live in harmony without any worries, the content of this contract is that the members of the team will not hurt each other or betray each other. The definition of harm is that they cannot cause substantial physical harm to each other. Discussions are fine; betrayal cannot be done without How do you feel about disclosing any information related to the team and companions to outsiders and third parties without the permission of the person concerned?" I came back to my senses and heard Teof say.

So... talking about the contract already?

Just as I was dazed, Seven raised his hand and said indifferently: "I have a problem. How about the previous things?"

Teoff said: "I've already explained that everything before was a misunderstanding, so there's no need to worry about it." He frowned with some dissatisfaction, "Severn, I know that you can't accept the matter of Sykes for a while, but……"

At this time, Kurolo said beside him: "In any case, our previous actions did cause some harm to the original members, which is equivalent to violating the content of the contract. This is also a problem."

Teoff looked at Seven's expressionless face, put his hand on the table between his brows, and said to Kurolo: "Then add another restriction. The contract is only effective from the time of signing. Before the individual Behavior is unaffected.  … Anyone else have a problem?"

No one said anything.I took a special look at Seven. He lowered his head, as if he had resigned himself to giving up his opposition.

But wait a minute, "mutual non-injury" is easy to understand. If the "mutual non-betrayal" clause is just "no disclosure of information", I feel that there are many loopholes to exploit... I thought it would be more stringent, "No Behavior against the team and peers" or something.This doesn't look like Teof's style, does it?

Forget it, I lowered my head and thought secretly, "No disclosure of information" is just right, Kuroro's ability and my ability are so sensitive, as for the others... Anyway, it is beneficial to us, who would be stupid enough to remind him ah?

"Then, everyone, sign the contract." Teoff completed the contract, signed his name first, and pushed the scroll and pen to Aite beside him.

Aite didn't even look at it, picked up a pen and drew a few strokes, and pushed it to Kuroro.

Kuroro took a closer look, but it didn't take long before he signed his name on the contract.

When the contract was passed to me, what Teoff wrote was exactly the same as what he said, both in plain language, and the content did not differ.In fact, Kuroro has signed, and I have nothing to hesitate, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of magical contract scroll carefully, and I took a few more curious glances before picking up the pen.It is said to be a blank contract, but there are still pre-printed terms on the scroll, very complicated cursive, ghostly symbols, not a common language at all, but a bit like graphic characters.

Thinking that Feitan and Seven were still waiting to sign, Teoff had been staring at me with burning eyes, so I stopped looking and wrote "Lydia ".Thank God, the first word Kurolo and I learned to write was our own name...

When pushing the contract to Feitan, I suddenly thought, since it is the restriction of the ability to read, it should not work for me, right?I don't know if it will affect the effect of the entire contract. If it doesn't take effect by then... But now Kuroro is the one who knows the "Oracle of Ascagaro" best. It seems that he has not tried to stop this whole thing at all. , then it should be fine?

Feeling somewhat apprehensive, Fei Tan and Sai Wen quickly signed the contract.It seems that Teoff had indicated the number of people before, and when the last Saiwen signed, the contract disappeared on the dilapidated desktop—this meant that the contract had officially come into effect.

I breathed a sigh of relief, although it can be said that neither of them sincerely smiled at each other, but the strategy of delaying the attack, the strategy of delaying the attack, being able to successfully sign the contract at least represents stability in a short period of time... right?

After signing the contract, everyone was obviously relieved.Before, I didn't feel that there was any tension between each other, but compared with the current relaxation, the atmosphere showed alertness and tension.

The specific performance can be that when Teoff spoke again, he directly mentioned the chip and floppy disk, and said: "Since everyone is a companion now, you can also take out the chip and floppy disk, Kurolo, and let us complete the task quickly."

"The floppy disk is in our hands, and we can get it at any time. The chip, on the other hand, accidentally fell into the hands of the business alliance." Ku Luoluo said.

After hearing Kuroro's words, Teoff's expression moved slightly, he looked at me, and said, "Then..."

"Lydia's ability can help us get the chip, there is no problem at all." Kuroro said, "But I have another idea than we get back the chip directly."

"Oh?" Teof asked.

I haven't heard Kuroro mention this, so I pricked up my ears and listened to Kuroro: "I thought about it before, the Eris family lost a precious chip, so it's impossible not to go all out to track it down. Even if the effort to track it down Because of their internal reasons, they have weakened a lot, but with their overall strength, we still have to bear a lot of pressure and risks."

Seeing that Teoff nodded in agreement, Kurolo continued: "Since the Eris family only traced the chip and didn't know about the floppy disk, and the chip happened to fall into the hands of the business alliance, we might as well take the opportunity to use the firepower of the trace Lead it to the business alliance, wait for the business alliance to take the chip and take the blame, that is, pick us clean, and then take the chip back calmly."

Kuroro sat on the edge of the simple square table and talked eloquently, his eyes glanced around, wondering if he saw Seven lowering his head and showing a veiled sarcastic expression, he paused and said: "Of course, this is based on our Under the assumption that I really feel the great pressure brought by the Eris family. If there is a mature way to deal with this level of trouble...then we can get the chip back at any time." He looked at the questioningly Teoff, expressed the hope to listen to and respect his opinion.

Teof sat opposite, with a thoughtful expression on his face.He slowly said: "Indeed, although Simon Eris himself is busy turning the [-]th District upside down, according to the news from his employer, he has a team dedicated to chasing the whereabouts of the chip. , and have already begun to focus on the investigation of the eighth district. Although our stronghold is absolutely hidden, if we can turn the attention of those guys to the business alliance, we don't have to hide in the store all the time, and it will be much safer and freer. I think Kuroro's idea is feasible."

Kuroro nodded calmly, and asked, "Then how to do it..."

Teof turned his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Coincidentally, tomorrow night, the heirs of District [-] will come to have talks with the Business Alliance, and there will be a grand dinner at the headquarters of the Business Alliance in the center of District [-]. Invite the high-level executives of District [-] and District [-]."

He squinted his eyes, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious, extending a sly outline, "That chip is about the latest large-scale computer smart chip, it's useless for the eighth district to ask for it, but the seventh district itself is a large factory, this thing It definitely has a fatal attraction for them. Let the people of Eris think that the Seventh District hired a business alliance to steal chips, and they can't help but believe it."

"The dinner tomorrow night..." Kuroro lowered his eyes, tapped his fingers on the edge of the table, and showed an interested smile: "If there is a deal, the dinner is of course the best time to deliver."

"We just need to find a way to notify the people sent by Simon Eris to the eighth district, and make them believe that the chip is in the hands of the Business Alliance. In fact, this is not difficult to operate. When the rest are willing to fight..." Teoff Shrugged with a generous smile, "It's not something we need to worry about."

"This can be left to us." Kurolo said immediately, politely and slightly apologetically looking at Aite who was seriously injured on the bed and Seven who was absent-minded, and said to Teoff: "If there is no news that cannot be disclosed , the work of running errands can be handed over to us."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Of course, Teoff couldn't say "I don't trust you, so I would rather go to battle with a team of sick and disabled." A group of people chasing all the way from the [-]th District should have settled down on Dongsan Street, specifically..."

It was decided how to imply that the enemy would blame the business alliance without a trace. It was already past noon, and we bid farewell and went back to the grocery store.

Before leaving, Teoff offered to see my ability and have lunch together.

I glanced at Kuroro—I don’t know when I became more and more used to asking Kuroro for advice before doing things—after Kuroro nodded, I whispered quickly: “I want a lot of fresh Food, and enough water."

Then there was a long-lasting "crackling" that made the scalp tingle, and a dizzying amount of food and bottled water fell on the table, almost piled up into a hill.The three people on the opposite side had the same expression at this time, all dumbfounded and speechless, and the eyes they looked at me again made me almost jump up and turn around and run away.

Shrinking back timidly behind Kuroro, I was also secretly startled when I saw the sheer amount of food.This is the first time I have asked for "a lot" and "enough", but Yanling's generosity made me want to cry.

Kuroro reacted quickly, looked at the pile of things, and explained to Teoff: "Lydia's ability is her talent, but it also has strict restrictions. It can only be used three times a day, and it cannot be accumulated." Of course It's what we negotiated.

But speaking of it, the ability to drop items is not the same as controlling others. There is almost no taboo. I have never encountered limits or failures. It is really trustworthy and uneasy...

"It's a miracle." It took a long time for Teof to sigh, looking at me with kind and gentle eyes that were about to drip water, which made me get goosebumps all over my body immediately, and I quickly lowered my head.

"Let's go back with some bread, Lydia is used to taking a nap," Kurolo said.Listening to his serious tone, I... blah blah, even if people really have the habit of taking a nap, it's only occasionally, and it's only after they came to the eighth district—well, it's like a shame play anyway. , here, here is Meteor Street after all!

"Okay then, see you in the afternoon." Teoff also paused, and soon said with a full smile.

"I'll send the floppy disk over in the afternoon," Kuroro said.

He and Fei Tan went forward to take out a large bag of long bread and two bottles of mineral water from the mountain of food on the table. I followed up to have a look, and finally took a bottle of mineral water and two apples, and trotted along. Going up to the two of them, facing the fiery gaze from behind, they left the backyard of the hardware store without looking back.

Passing through the narrow hardware store, just stepped out of the threshold of the hardware store, and met a guy who was about to enter the door.It was actually a child who was a little shorter than us, with short golden hair that was very dazzling in the ambiguous sunlight.Seeing us coming out, the child looked up very naturally, revealing a fair and tender face and a pair of very beautiful big emerald green eyes...

—Hey hey hey, isn't this the brat you saw in the thirteenth district, the knight?

The moment they met each other, both sides were obviously taken aback.

Ah, he seems to have seen Kuroro's face, right? ! ! !

Is the big deal...wonderful?

The blue eyes of the knight on the opposite side widened, and then his eyes rolled, and I quickly looked at Kuroro who was walking in front.Seen from this angle, Kuroro's side face is very calm, the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, and he calmly said to us who are following him: "Ah, I met an old friend. You go first, go to the front and wait for me. "

On the opposite side, Lingdong's eyes froze when he had just turned halfway, and he stood there obediently, not daring to move, and looked at Kuroro pitifully.

Fei Tan and I immediately walked around the two of them silently and quickly, and under the tearful gaze of the knight, we walked all the way to the old tree at the T-junction not far away, and then stopped.

Looking back from a distance, Kuroro took the knight away two steps away, no longer blocking the door of the hardware store, but walked under a relatively inconspicuous wall, and then seemed to be talking about something.

"A former enemy?" Fei Tan asked.

"It doesn't count... I don't know." I nervously watched Kuroro "negotiate" with the knight, and answered Fei Tan uncertainly. "Why do you think so?"

"Krollo released the circle." Fei Tan said.The "circle" released by the psychic can perceive everything within the coverage of the "circle", and the covered psychic can also perceive this power.

"It's because I'm afraid of being overheard." I said, "That guy's called Xia Ke, he's from the thirteenth district. We met once in the thirteenth district. He knows Kuroro."

"...Do you want to silence it?" Fei Tan said after being silent for a while.I've only been to the thirteenth arrondissement once.

"Maybe not." From afar, I saw Kuroro's cheat book of thieves appearing in his hand, and then he handed something to the knight.It is really amazing that people who cannot see the ability to read can see what is manifested by the ability.

Didn't make us wait long, Kurolo bid farewell to the knight and walked towards us.Looking back past him, the knight stood on the spot, looking at Kuroro's back from a distance, his cute little face wrinkled into a ball, showing a bitter expression.

"What's going on?" I asked after Kuroro approached.

"It's a coincidence. He and his master came to the eighth district to do business, and they stopped by the hardware store to buy things." Ku Luoluo said.

"Then he..."

"He only met me twice. Once, he met him and his master during a mission. His master is a well-known technical talent in the thirteenth district; and the time he traded with him later. So even if he knows something... I signed a contract with him, and we must not disclose our affairs to anyone." Kurolo said.

"Then it's all right? Let's go then." I said, turning my head to look at the path leading to the grocery store.Speaking of taking a nap just now, I was really sleepy.

"That guy went into a hardware store." Fei Tan said.

"Go shopping. Don't worry about him, let's go." Kurolo said.

Seeing the grocery store from a distance, I saw a person covered in a black cloak hovering in front of the closed store door.He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, walking up and down in front of the store, looking very anxious.

Seeing us appearing at the intersection of the street, he stomped his feet, hurried up to us when we were still a few steps away from the door, stood in front of Kuroro, and said to him: "Where are you going, I'm waiting A long time!"

The voice is delicate and crisp, it is a young girl.Black cloak + girly voice, this setting...

Before Kuroro opened his mouth, Feitan was unhappy, and he said with a threatening tone, "Woman, who are you talking to?"

"I..." The woman wrapped in a cloak swallowed, as if she was frightened by Fei Tan's fierce appearance and unwilling to show weakness.The head moved, and it felt like she was glaring at Kuroro from under the cloak.

"Go ahead." Kuroro said flatly.

After entering the grocery store and closing the door again, Kuroro raised his head and said, "Then, why did you appear here, Ms. Assenan Gerek?"

The hood of the black cloak was taken off by the master, revealing the flowing snow-white long hair and a youthful and charming face like a flower.Come to think of it, it's the owner of the Wishing House, the former owner of the "Oracle of Askagaro", and a remnant of the Gorek royal family.

She is so beautiful, I thought, the moment she showed her face, the dark grocery store was about to be lit up.

After hearing what Kuroro said, Athenan raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if no one had ever said such a thing to her.She stared at Kuroro dissatisfied, pursed her lips and said, "Why can't I appear here?"

Kuroro spread his hands as if surrendering, no longer entangled in this meaningless topic, and asked directly: "What do you want from me?"
