Chapter 254 What, I am the villain? !
Russell's decision was a spur-of-the-moment one, because before coming here he saw some illegal card makers setting up stalls along the way.
They sell everything.
Although Jin Ping was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't say much and just glanced at Gu Wu.
Gu Wu immediately understood what the old man meant and summoned out two cards.
"Keep it. If you need to come here again in the future, just use this card."
Hearing this, Russell took the card and checked the information.
----
[Blood Sacrifice Ritual Array·Teleport]
Tier: Gold (Diamond)
Quality: blue
Category: props
skill:
[Teleport]: The holder can teleport back and forth between the marked location and the anchor point through blood sacrifice.
Current marked location: 120.911900, 38.398197
Current anchor point: 126.708402, -24.514157
Note: Using this card requires the holder to use human blood to draw the relevant magic circle.
----
Russell could tell from this card that the skinner was definitely not a good guy. Whose card of a good guy requires a blood sacrifice before it can be used?
At this time, Gu Wu's voice sounded again: "This card is a sub-card generated from the card of the Skinner. From now on, Xiaoliu, you will use this card to travel between the two places."
"The marked location is the island where we met before. If you are not satisfied, you can change it later."
Russell looked at the cards in his hand at this time and always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "What is this?"
"Lord of the bathroom?"
"But isn't this a bit bloody?"
The problem is that every time he does it, it always ends up being bloody, and it's not suitable to do it in the bathroom.
Although this amount of bleeding is nothing to his current vitality.
That's right, Russell was prepared to use his own blood.
I'm afraid that if the card makers under the Skinner knew about this, they would all give him a thumbs up and say, "He's a ruthless person."
However, he didn't plan to change the address because he wouldn't come here under normal circumstances.
After responding, Russell checked the second card.
----
【Beggar Society Robe】
Level: Black Iron
Quality: white
Category: props
Introduction: An ordinary card used to prove that the holder is a member of the Spirit Beggars Society.
----
The second card has no special use. It seems to be used only to prove the identity of Russell's Begging Society.
Jin Ping's voice sounded at the right time: "It's up to you whether you want to wear this dress or not."
"By the way, if you see anyone wearing black robes in the city, just kill them. You are the only ones in the guild who can come here."
After he finished speaking, he took Gu Wu away without waiting for Russell's reaction.
At this moment, Russell looked at the empty space in front of him and felt a little confused for a moment.
No, did we really just leave him here?
After secretly criticizing Jinping, the moody old madman, Russell finally chose to wear the black robe of the Begging Spirits Society.
The less trouble, the better.
Judging from what Jinping specifically said, no one in the city should dare to provoke the Begging Spirit Society.
No, it should be that no one dares to provoke the several forces that appeared in the city within the city.
"But what did the old man mean by his last words?"
"Only us from one to six can come?"
After thinking about it, Russell realized that Jin Ping had never treated the members of the Begging Spirit Society as human beings, and he was not so surprised for a moment.
After getting dressed, he roughly estimated the time: "It should still be some time before dawn in Donglai."
It was not too late when Russell first met Gu Wu. Although some time had been wasted now, it would probably take another four or five hours before dawn in Donglai.
Feeling a little relieved, he began to wander around the city.
Perhaps because they are all illegal card makers, the area of the entire city is not very large.
However, it is indeed difficult for this group of desperadoes to settle down in one place. The reason why they can gather together at this time is that there are several powerful forces behind this city.
The strange thing was that the people Russell saw along the way were basically all white people and black people. People with his skin color were very rare, and he could hardly understand what some of them said.
Occasionally there are a few with small human skulls all over their bodies.
"It turns out that only the Spirit Begging Society and the Guiyi Sect are causing trouble in the Ming Dynasty."
From the current situation, he can already infer the general situation of this world.
As the president of a local association, Daming Russell naturally knew everything. Due to the control of both the court and the association, ordinary people basically had no chance of becoming illegal card makers unless the Qiling Society or Guiyi Sect came knocking on their door.
As for other countries
That’s hard to say. Maybe they don’t even have the concept of illegal card makers.
After all, the human settlements that Russell encountered in Goryeo some time ago had all been captured by demons, so who would care whether they were illegal card makers at this time?
Thinking about it this way, Russell actually felt it was very reasonable.
Putting aside the strange thoughts in his mind, he focused his attention on the stalls on both sides of the road.
After walking around for a while, he stopped in front of a stall owned by a white stall owner.
The white man couldn't help but shudder when he saw the black robes representing the Spirit Begging Society: "Seor (Sir)"
If it was English, Russell might be able to communicate a few words with him, but it was obviously not. He couldn't tell what language it was, but based on the geographical location, it was most likely Castilian (Spanish). After all, this continent was first discovered by the Castilians.
So he reached out to stop the other person from talking, then pointed to a piece of material displayed on the electronic device in front of the white man, and then took out the material [Feast of Pirates] (Red). The white man immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly took out the material that Russell needed from his storage props.
In such a chaotic place, no one dares to put materials openly on the stalls. Generally, the items placed directly on the stalls are not very valuable items such as books.
The white man stuffed the materials into Russell's hands with great fear and trepidation, and he was not even going to take [Feast of Pirates] (Red).
Seeing this, Russell speechlessly threw [Feast of Pirates] on the stall, turned around and left with the materials he needed.
He also understood at this time that because of his status as a member of the Begging Spirit Society, the white man might really want to give it to him for free.
But he couldn't do that.
The main reason is that once this precedent is set, the rules will be broken. Other card makers who were selling stolen goods here may not come again.
The main thing is that your managers have so blatantly swallowed up their materials, so why are they still trading? Why don’t they just supply all the materials to the City Within a City every time they come?
But to be honest, Russell actually got the upper hand.
After all, [Feast of Pirates] may not meet the needs of white people. If it is a normal transaction, he will need to add two other materials as a bonus.
Looking at the gold-level [Void Walker] (red) in his hand, Russell smiled with satisfaction: "It's not a complete loss."
When he saw Wu's dropped materials, he thought he could save one material, but he never expected that Wu didn't drop any materials.
Fortunately, he has now exchanged the materials he needs.
“That leaves one more.”
Thinking of this, Russell continued to wander around the city.
But unfortunately, the materials in the hands of these illegal card makers were definitely not as complete as those in the association. Until Russell was ready to leave, he had not found the second set of materials suitable for him.
But I did buy a few books.
For example, [Card-making skills of legendary French card maker Alexandre Dumas], who was the originator of cool writing who wrote "The Count of Monte Cristo" before Russell traveled through time. Russell bought the Ming Dynasty language version.
In this world, the other party has become a famous card maker.
What else is there [The legendary life of hardcore card maker Hemingway].
These were all strange books that Russell had never seen in the Ming Dynasty.
"It's time to go back."
After shopping, Russell was satisfied and prepared to return to Donglai.
At this time, in addition to the two materials he was going to use, he also had a [Pirate Master Craftsman] (gold) and several low-quality gold-level [Pirate Officers] that he had no use for.
He also exchanged those books for materials. After all, materials are now considered a universal currency.
When they arrived outside the city, Russell turned his finger into a knife and cut a big gash on his hand, and told Kuangwang not to heal it first.
Then he followed the instructions of [Blood Sacrifice Array·Teleportation] and drew a magic circle on the ground.
Soon, an inverted triangle-shaped bloody magic circle appeared on the ground.
As the scarlet light flashed, Russell suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In just a moment, the young man appeared on the beach where he had met Gu Wu before: "So fast."
After sighing at the speed, Russell couldn't help scratching his head: "I thought someone would target me and kill me."
"That's clearly what the novels I read before I traveled through time were all written like this."
Then he looked down and saw the black robe on himself.
"Hey, so I'm the villain."
"That's okay."
Russell quickly put away his black robe, identified the direction and rushed towards Donglai.
Early in the morning, Russell came to the association to work as usual, as if nothing had happened last night.
But for him now, just not sleeping for one night is really nothing. It is not even comparable to the energy consumed in fighting Pokémon with the girls.
Russell propped up his head and watched his cards busying around in the president's office.
Of course, the main people doing the work are Aizen, Unohana Retsu and Fubuki.
Among all his cards, these three are the most skilled in handling official duties.
Russell was startled when his eyes swept over the gentle beauty with pigtails hanging on her chest, and then he stood up abruptly.
He seemed to know where the vague strange feeling he had after meeting Yu Hengrui yesterday came from.
Russell dialed the internal line: "Ask Lao Wang to come to the president's office now."
Soon, Lao Wang, the clerk who came to submit his attendance report yesterday evening, came to the president's office again.
Feeling the alluring aura of the cards beside Russell, Old Wang didn't dare to breathe. Fortunately, the young man immediately spoke to relieve his pressure: "Director Yu is not feeling well. I'll have to trouble you, Old Wang, to take care of the Human Resources Management Department for a while."
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "It's not hard, it's not hard, just leave it to me."
He was not very happy, after all, he was not capable enough, even if Russell wanted him to take over as the director of the human resources management department.
But Russell didn't call him over for this.
"Do you have the home addresses of Xiao Xu and Xiao Chen?"
"I noticed that they were the most absent from work yesterday, so I planned to go and visit them."
Hearing this, Lao Wang was stunned at first, and then he prayed for these members of the logistics department in his heart: "You are finished. The president is actually going to come to your house in person."
Although he thought so in his heart, the middle-aged man still answered honestly: "Yes, I will send you their home address when I get back."
"Well, you go down."
Looking at Lao Wang's departing back, Russell touched his chin.
After visiting Yu Hengrui yesterday, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Today, after seeing the captain of the medical team, Unohana Retsu, he suddenly thought of the large number of absentee records in the logistics department.
Basically, it started at the same time as Yu Hengrui's absence.
Although he didn't know whether there was any connection between the two, Russell decided to check out the situation.
Even if it really doesn't matter.
That’s perfect, let Unohana Retsu treat him and come back to work as soon as he’s better.
Today is the inhuman evil leader, Russell.
