"Is this... true?" the priest asked Cynthia for confirmation.
Facing Jiang Lu's expectant gaze, Cynthia nodded with difficulty, took out her law enforcement officer's ID, and said, "Yes."
The priest understood everything immediately: "I understand, you want to deliberately attract my attention, then anger me, and try to find a way to escape while I am taking you to be punished. You are so naive!"
"Oh, how could such a thing happen?" Jiang Lu held the priest's hand tightly: "Take me away, please take me away!"
"Go away!" the priest cursed: "Go and die, you scum!"
After that, he didn't care whether Jiang Lu picked up the elk hat or not, so he turned around and left.
Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows at the stunned Cynthia: "Settle it."
Cynthia didn't know how to evaluate Jiang Lu's operation, so she could only smile awkwardly: "You are really amazing..."
"Let's go have a drink."
At the same time, the priest who had just caused trouble for Jiang Lu also returned to the other priests.
Someone immediately asked: "What happened? Why didn't you catch him?"
"What bad luck."
He smiled bitterly: "That bastard is a death row prisoner, and the lady next to him is a law enforcement officer. She just caught him. He is trying to find a way to escape in this way. How cunning."
"Uh... I don't think so." One of the young men with a beard and blond curly hair sighed.
"what?"
"never mind."
"You're so weird."
A few people shook their heads and talked about other things.
Only the young man looked at Jiang Lu who held Cynthia's hand from a distance, and whispered to himself: "How can any death row prisoner do this?"
But immediately, he thought of something.
"But what if he is really a death row prisoner?" A glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"I have to go take a look."
the other side.
Jiang Lu pretended to help Cynthia read her palm prints for a while while arriving at a tavern named Kitty.
There are many people in the tavern. Because Zar District is considered a civilian area, most of the people drinking here are not people of high status. However, although these people behave rudely, they are still heroic and simple, which makes the tavern full of life. of fireworks.
Under the arrangement of the tavern owner, the two of them sat on a soft couch by the window and ordered a pot of wine recommended by the tavern owner.
Then Cynthia stretched out her hand and asked Jiang Lu to divine for her.
On the way before that, Jiang Lu had been holding her hand and praising her.
"Your hands are so small" "Why are you so much whiter than me" "I heard that girls' hands are soft" "You smell so good" "Your hands are so cold" "You are so cute" "Compare your hands" "Big or small" "Your hair smells so good" "Your eyes are so beautiful"
After an offensive beyond the version, Cynthia was already dizzy before even drinking.
After all, Cynthia is a demi-human, and there are still some differences from humans. Jiang Lu noticed several things such as her ears, bright red pupils, thick thighs but very slender calves, and slightly convex palms.
Gently press Cynthia's palm, and she will tremble involuntarily, just like a cat being pressed against its pads, which is very interesting.
Taking advantage of the excuse of palm reading, Jiang Lu played happily until the wine bottle was brought up.
"So do you see anything?"
After a sip of wine, Cynthia's chill was driven away a lot, her face turned rosy, and she even took off her coat, revealing the tight-fitting law enforcement uniform underneath.
Jiang Lu also took a sip of wine, and then said: "Your career line and life line are fine, but your love line is more tortuous."
"Oh?" Cynthia, who was already slightly tipsy, blinked: "Do you have any explanation?"
"People may become widowed when they reach middle age and have to take care of their children alone." Jiang Lu said bluntly.
"Uh..." Cynthia suddenly lost interest.
Jiang Lu changed the topic: "But there is a way to solve it."
Cynthia became interested again: "How to crack it?"
"Don't get married, don't have children."
"Uh..." Cynthia lost interest.
"But..." Jiang Lu continued to pull: "I just don't want to get married, and I don't like children."
Cynthia was interested again: "You mean..."
"So my love line also has twists and turns."
"..."
If it weren't for the wonderful feeling Jiang Lu gave Cynthia, she would have thrown wine on his face and asked, "Are you sick?"
But at this moment, Jiang Lu quietly asked: "Have you noticed that that person has been looking at us?"
"Who?" Cynthia subconsciously wanted to turn her head.
Jiang Lu quickly stopped him: "Don't look back, don't let him find out that we have noticed him."
"Oh."
"He came in not long after we came in. He seemed to be familiar with many people in the pub. Many people greeted him. He joined a table for two people. There were three of them now. They were not alone, but he He’s been looking our way.”
"Uh... maybe there's something in this direction that interests him?"
"It's impossible. There's nothing in this direction. The soft couches next to us are empty. He can only be looking at us."
“Maybe…” Cynthia wanted to say that maybe it was her admirer, but she was interrupted by Jiang Lu before she could finish her words.
"Shh, he's coming."
Just as he finished speaking, a young priest with blond curly hair who had already changed into casual clothes came to the two of them.
"Excuse me, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you two to have a drink with me."
"Ah? Why?" Cynthia was puzzled.
But Jiang Lu sneered: "I don't think you want to invite the two of us? It should be just one of us, right?"
The other party was not angry after being exposed. He just smiled and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
Cynthia was stunned and immediately understood the other party's intention.
She immediately spoke to him with apology, and at the same time, the other party also spoke to Jiang Lu.
"Sorry, I have a male partner."
"Yes, I'd like to invite you to have a drink with me."
The two of them spoke at the same time, and then they both looked at each other.
Cynthia felt so embarrassed that she dug her toes on the ground, but the other party explained without changing her expression: "It doesn't matter, I didn't mean to invite you."
So Cynthia was even more embarrassed.
Jiang Lu also felt that it was outrageous. He originally thought that the other party was here to chat with Cynthia, but who knew that he was actually here to talk to him.
Now his brewing emotions suddenly dissipated.
"No, buddy, this isn't a male ketones pub, is it?"
"Of course not." The other party shook his head, and then explained: "Maybe you didn't notice me just now, but when you were dealing with the priest of the Elk Goddess, I happened to be nearby. I was very curious. As a death penalty, you How can I win the heart of this elegant woman?"
When the truth came to light, Jiang Lu finally let go of his guard.
"Of course it's not a real death row prisoner, I'm just trying to trick him." Jiang Lu waved his hand to the other party: "Okay, if you came here for this, then I've probably disappointed you. Please don't disturb us for drinking."
The other party's face clearly showed a disappointed expression, but he still did not leave, but continued to talk: "It seems that you are not a Hybrier?"
"Yeah, I'm from outside, so what?" Jiang Lu was obviously impatient.
"That's not true. It's just that my friends and I are curious about things outside. Maybe you can tell us what the outside world is like?"
Jiang Lu rolled his eyes when he heard these familiar words.
Why should I tell you stories? I'm not your mother.
In order to send him away, Jiang Lu deliberately made a request that even Cynthia, a law enforcement officer, could not help him: "According to what you said, I still want to see the Starry Sky Gate. Can you take me there?"
Who knew that the other party did not retreat despite the difficulties, but instead smiled mysteriously: "Well, it's really not a problem. If you just want to have a close look, I can really take you there, but if you want to go in in person, then you have to Pass the pioneer test first.”
"Eh?" Cynthia was surprised: "Really?"
Jiang Lu was surprised and looked at the other party suspiciously: "You kid, don't lie to me."
"Of course not," he promised, and then deliberately asked the other people in the tavern loudly: "Friends, when have I ever lied to someone?"
It was obvious that he was very popular, and someone immediately shouted: "Os never lies to anyone!"
"Look."
"Okay, I'll trust you for once." Jiang Lu nodded, stood up, handed Huang Xiu'e to Cynthia, and said, "I'll go have a few drinks and chat with them and then come back."
“Okay…okay.” Cynthia had no choice but to nod helplessly.
After Jiang Lu left, she changed to Jiang Lu's position so that she could see Jiang Lu's situation better, so that she could help him out as soon as possible with the convenience of the law enforcement officer.
But Cynthia obviously underestimated Jiang Lu's communication skills.
Jiang Lu originally went over to drink with Aos with a nonchalant expression, but not long after they sat down, they didn't know what they said, and the two of them started laughing, as if they had become buddies for no reason.
Then after a while, Jiang Lu at the wine table actually took the lead and started playing a game with the other three people.
Cynthia was very curious, so she asked the owner of the tavern to move to a place where she could hear several people talking.
Jiang Lu's voice became clear immediately.
"The rules are very simple. Everyone takes turns to talk about something they have done. If someone at the table has not done this, then that person will punish himself with a drink."
"Interesting." Austin nodded immediately, and then suggested based on this: "How about this, in order to prevent someone from lying, we swear to the Star Gate to be honest, so that those who lie will encounter bad luck, how about it? "
Of course Jiang Lu was not afraid, and the other two also agreed.
Cynthia on the side also became interested and listened carefully.
Everything was normal at first, but as she listened, her expression gradually became strange, from interest to confusion, from confusion to shock, and from shock to horror...
