Chapter 5 I’m afraid there’s an evil spirit at work!

Standing at the entrance of the alley was a woman who came out to take out the trash in the morning. She looked to be in her late twenties, and her face was filled with the vicissitudes of life.

After the woman took out the trash, she approached and looked at Robin and Lynch. "I've never seen you before. Are you homeless?"

Lin Qi looked around and saw a man, a woman and a dog, all of whom looked miserable. "It seems so."

Robin pursed his lips and looked at the woman warily.

"Alas, it's all that hateful Goldo Roger's fault! In the past two years, there have been more and more homeless children like you... Poor one of my younger brothers also went crazy, shouting every day that he wanted to go out to sea to search for treasure, and left home to become a pirate! It's been so long, and there's no news at all..."

The woman cursed in a low voice the "devil" who was executed in Rogue Town in the East China Sea more than two years ago, the man called the Pirate King.

It was that guy's last words before his death that opened up this chaotic era of rampant pirates! The woman wiped her eyes and sighed, "You must have been hungry all night. Come, come home with me and have some hot soup."

Robin wanted to turn around and run away. But when she thought about how she had lost the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit...how could she run? How far could she run? How long could she run? When she thought about this, the girl felt hopeless and extremely depressed.

All because of this boy, who took away her fruit...

"Okay, Auntie!" The boy raised his head, patted his flat belly, and said with a smile, "I'm really hungry! Auntie, you are such a good person!"

Auntie...the woman was unhappy, but because of the boy's handsome face, she forgave him!

She laughed, waved to Robin beside her, and said kindly, "Poor little girl, come along too."

Robin wanted to run, but his feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn't pull himself away.

Suddenly, a hand pushed her from behind.

Robin stumbled forward a step.

It's my ability... Robin thought sadly.

Lynch walked out of the "armor" he was wearing, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered a few words to "BIB". The latter's eyes flashed white and he nodded silently.

In the end, Robin and Lynch were led out of the alley, one by one, by the woman and returned to their nearby home.

The stray puppy turned around a few times and then followed.

………………

Inside the room, next to the wooden table.

Lynch and Robin were each served a bowl of hot, delicious soup and a loaf of bread.

"It smells so good!" Lin Qi took a deep breath. He was really hungry. After all, this body had just died not long ago! He took a big bite of bread and drank a mouthful of soup comfortably. He felt like he was truly alive now.

Robin nibbled at the bread, but her mind was not on it. The woman served them the food and went to the kitchen. Robin had habitually wanted to use her ability to "bloom" and grow "ears" on the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation of the owner of the house. Fortunately, she chose to escape immediately when something went wrong... At this time, she once again realized that she no longer had the ability of the Hana-Hana no Mi.

At this moment, the palm of her left hand suddenly "bloomed" and a "mouth" grew out - the mouth opened and closed, making Lynch's voice: "Eat quickly, or you will run out of time. They are discussing in the kitchen whether you are really worth 79 million!"

Robin was shocked. Had this boy used his ability to "bloom" ears on the kitchen wall to eavesdrop?

But——how come he is so proficient in the Hana-Hana Fruit?

………………

In the small kitchen next door, the woman suppressed her excitement and said, "I said my eyesight was good. I wasn't mistaken! The girl in the alley is indeed the son of the devil!"

The man next to her was holding a wanted poster, and the photo on it was of a thin girl with long black hair—"Devil's Child" Nicole Robin!

The bounty is 79 million Baileys! This is 79 million Baileys!!! I just went out to take out the trash this morning and I was lucky enough to run into her. I just coaxed her into coming home with a few words... I got rich, this is 79 million Baileys!!!

"But, selling her to the mafia or the navy... isn't that a bad idea?" The man hesitated as he held the bounty order in his hand. "I don't think that girl... is some vicious villain... She looks quite pitiful..."

The woman cursed, "You -!" She lowered her voice, "What nonsense! What is she? The son of the devil! That hateful Goldo Roger is a devil, she is the son of the devil, think about it, how can she be a good thing? How can this be called betrayal? We are doing this for justice!! Besides, this is - 79 million!!!" She lowered her voice even lower.

At the same time, the woman opened the kitchen cabinet and pulled out a sawed-off shotgun.

Gangster culture is prevalent in Xihai, and the fierce character of the people can be seen from this.

The woman stuffed the sawed-off shotgun into the man's arms. "I'll go out and tell them. You keep them both under control! That guy is hanging out with the Devil's Son, so he must not be a good guy! Let the Gunpowder guys take them away together."

At this moment, on the ceiling above their heads, without their noticing, thirteen "ears" formed a circle, listening to the conversation between the man and woman below from all angles.

At the same time, between the two men and women who were talking in low voices, stood a man in black "iron armor" with blue flame patterns on his left arm, red flame patterns on his right arm, and a white inverted triangle on his chest... He watched their conversation silently throughout the whole process...

The woman walked out of the kitchen, carrying a basket of vegetables on her arm, and said kindly, "Haha, Auntie will go out to buy some vegetables to treat you..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Ah! Ah!" The stray puppy that was licking the hot soup at Robin's feet suddenly barked at the woman who was about to go out.

The woman laughed and didn't take it seriously. She was about to push the door to go out, but suddenly her feet were empty and she turned over. Bang! She fell headfirst on the steps, knocking out two of her teeth and bleeding profusely!

The woman was confused!

What tripped me? She covered her bleeding mouth, tears streaming down her face from the pain. She hurriedly got up and looked back to see the boy and girl at the table still eating, desperately and desperately, like starving ghosts eating like crazy! The boy looked at her while eating, his mouth full of bread and hot soup, and asked vaguely, "Auntie, why are you walking so carelessly?"

"Yes, I was not careful when walking..." The woman smiled awkwardly and quickly got up. But before she could stand firmly, she slipped again.

Bang! This time, not only did he knock out another tooth, but he also accidentally bit his tongue, leaving his mouth full of blood.

"Ah!!" The woman finally lost her composure and cried out in tears, "What on earth is..."

"Bang!"

A gunshot was heard in the kitchen. The frightened woman trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.

A man's terrified shout came from the kitchen: "What, what is this!? Go away! Go away!!"

The man rushed out of the kitchen waving a kitchen knife, his face full of fear.

Behind him, a short-barreled shotgun floated in the air, as if controlled by an invisible ghost, and followed closely, with the black muzzle pointing at the man.

"You, don't come over here!" The man waved the kitchen knife in fear.

But suddenly, his wrist seemed to be grasped by someone! In the man's panic, his palm felt sore, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell off, but it did not fall to the ground. It fell in the air and suddenly hung! The kitchen knife floated up and gestured in front of the woman, frightening her so much that she screamed and shrank to the side.

The black muzzle of the gun pointed at the pale-faced man, who muttered, "I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have listened to you. I'm so stupid..."

Lynch quietly gave a thumbs up to "BIB" who was holding a kitchen knife in his left hand and a shotgun in his right hand, and then said seriously: "Auntie and uncle, this - I'm afraid there is an evil spirit at work!"

As Robin stared in astonishment, Lynch put on a serious expression and said, "But you're lucky, I'm a serious exorcist..."

Ten minutes later, Lynch took the "exorcism" fee - the amount should be 79 million, but after a "meal discount", the actual amount collected was 79,000 - and climbed out the window with Robin, who was holding the stray puppy.
