Chapter 6
Anna was fine, so Carl breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Anna's sunken cheeks, Carl rubbed his cheeks, looked at Lima standing, and then looked at Chu Cheng not far away. They both knew what Carl was thinking. Lima waved her hand, and Carl's face quickly showed joy, and the hair on his head swayed with the movement.
Seeing Carl leave the hospital, Lima's friendly eyes completely disappeared. He did not try to have some one-on-one questioning with Chu Cheng, but drove away all the medical staff, leaving only Chu Cheng and Starro. Chu Cheng knew that he was going to ask Starro for some "benefits"
As expected, Lima didn't even hide from Chu Cheng, and walked straight to Starro.
"Mr. Starro, you said that you are a train conductor of the flying train, right?"
"Yes, that's right, what do you have..."
Starro seemed to be at a loss for the title of a superpower, and he waved his hands repeatedly. At the same time, he soon realized that Lima probably had something to ask of him.
"I hope to get two clean tickets. We want to leave Altak and go to Bellit."
"This..."
Hearing this, Starro looked embarrassed. Lima didn't mean to embarrass him, but the money he had on him was all Ferrog's money, which he hadn't exchanged yet. There was no place to exchange money in Ataco. If there were other ways, he didn't want to embarrass this poor middle-aged man.
"Actually, the train tickets are easy to deal with... There aren't many businessmen traveling to Ataco. Most of them are sent by the country or large families. Many choose to take special trains, so there are always leftover tickets every day. "
"But..."
Starro looked at the two men and rubbed his thick beard with some embarrassment.
"It's just that a few adults want to get tickets from me... They probably don't have a pass... But I do know someone, so there should be a way."
"Who?"
"----Golden Hat"
-------------------------------------------
"Dear guest, I am sorry for not welcoming you."
Chu Cheng looked carefully at the man in front of him, who was called the Golden Hat. He stood behind a wooden table, wearing a loose black robe and a half bronze mask on his face. The half of his face that was exposed did not look very old, and he seemed to be in his early thirties.
The shop was not big, and even the lights were not turned on. The walls were full of wooden bookshelves, which made it look a bit old.
Lima didn't bother with symbolic politeness and stated
his purpose straight away. "I heard that you can get a pass?"
Hearing this, the man in the golden hat smiled even more deeply. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the calculation on his face was clear.
"Hey, distinguished guests, you know that Altaco is a restricted area. It's not so easy to go in and out of the restricted area."
Lima didn't want to listen to the golden hat's hypocritical nonsense. He frowned and knocked on the table impatiently.
"I have money, but it's Ferrog's money. I think you have a way to exchange it yourself."
The man in the golden hat waved his hands repeatedly and opened his arms in the puzzled eyes of Lima and others.
"I'm not interested in money, I just like to collect some novel toys. I wonder if you have any interesting little things?"
Carl and Lima looked at each other and pursed their lips. Carl was penniless, so naturally he didn't have much. Lima didn't bring much with him, and it would be easy for the Windsor family to catch up if he stayed here. Seeing that the three of them had no intention of taking anything, the corners of the Golden Hat's mouth were almost raised to his ears.
"Since you are all superpowers, why don't you take care of my blood~"
Lima and Carl's eyes darkened. As a young master, Lima naturally knew that many mysterious methods could be achieved with blood, and it was not a good choice to give blood away casually. Carl, with common sense, also knows that this thing cannot be given away casually."
But in fact, both of them really thought too much about this point. Chu Cheng looked at the settings given to him by the system and shook his head with amusement
[He probably didn't have these twists and turns in his mind. Vampires want blood, probably just want to have a meal]
Yes, the Golden Hat is not a human race, but a vampire. Just like in the legend, they survive by sucking blood. But one difference is that they are not like the literary and artistic works on Earth, who only survive on human blood. As long as it is the blood of a living creature, it will do. However,
the purer the bloodline, the stronger the power of the blood can make the vampire younger and stronger. Compared with the Golden Hat in front of him, he is not as young as he looks. Maybe he can add another zero after his appearance age.
[Then host, do you want to give him a tube of blood? ]
[Of course not]
Chu Cheng is not that stupid. Even if the Golden Hat just wants to drink, he will not do anything else. But he is the future number one villain. It is too embarrassing to be told whatever by this little soldier for a pass!
Chu Cheng took two steps forward, patted the shoulders of the two boys, and asked them to leave the house.
"Let me talk to this Mr. Golden Hat. Children are not allowed to watch."
Before Carl could say anything, the door of the store was slammed shut. Carl touched his nose and poked Lima with his elbow. Lima ignored him and walked to the bench by the street alone. It seemed that he was going to listen to Chu Cheng and
wait In the room, the man in the golden hat was still smiling at Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly around the room. He seemed to be appreciating the old facilities in the house very attentively.
"Are you interested in the things in the shop? All you need is a tube of your blood, and you can pick whatever you want~"
Chu Cheng smiled, and glanced at the man in the golden hat who was rubbing his hands .
"I want news about Neropo, do you have it?" The man
in the golden hat was stunned for a moment, then grinned, propped up his hands on the table, and stared at Chu Cheng with squinted eyes. The sticky line of sight made Chu Cheng feel uncomfortable.
"You are joking. Neropo has collapsed for almost a thousand years. Where can there be any news about him? But why do you think of him?"
"The people of Atako think he disappeared, and the people of other countries also think he disappeared. But I don't believe it, because Artaco is still here."
Perhaps shocked by Chu Cheng's words, the man in the golden hat couldn't help laughing out loud, holding his stomach for a long time and unable to get up. After a while, he sat on the chair with a more exaggerated smile on his face.
"Why would a guest think of asking a short-lived person like me for such information?"
"Short-lived person?"
Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows, folded his arms and took two steps forward, resting his arms on the table, looking down at the half-mask of the Golden Hat. To be honest, he has always been curious about how the mask of this character in the comics is placed on the face, and where is the strap?
"Vampires are not short-lived, they can live for about 500 years. If you have some skills, you may have witnessed the fall of Nero."
Hearing this, the smile on the Golden Hat's face was completely gone. The originally squinted eyes opened, revealing scarlet pupils, flashing a faint light in the dim shop. The gradually sharpened black nails scratched the wooden tabletop with a crackling sound.
Seeing the Golden Hat's face change, Chu Cheng couldn't help laughing. Didn't expect that it would feel so good to take off the vest? This is probably, the smile will not disappear, but it will shift.
"What does this mean, guest?"
Chu Cheng could feel that the Golden Hat had released his malice towards him. It was sticky and heavy, like a thousand-pound stone pressing on him, and Chu Cheng almost couldn't breathe. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Golden Hat to entertain so many guests in a messy place like Ataco without some skills.
He converted it and it was equivalent to a B+ level psychic, while Chu Cheng's ice control ability was about B-. Moreover, vampires have strong healing abilities and are not afraid of low temperatures and severe cold. If they were to fight head-on, Chu Cheng might not be able to beat the Golden Hat.
But Chu Cheng didn't plan to fight the Golden Hat. He was a stylish villain, and why did he fight and kill every day?
"Calm down, little bat. I don't want to fight with you. After all, if I do, you won't be a turtle in Ataco anymore, right?"
Such insulting words did not arouse the slightest anger in Golden Hat. On the contrary, Golden Hat, who originally looked a little angry, became exceptionally calm and peaceful at this moment. Chu Cheng knew that he had made the right bet.
Golden Hat had lived for so long, he would not be angry just because Chu Cheng revealed his identity. Rather, if Chu Cheng really drew his sword against him because of his malice, then something really bad would happen.
"What do you want to know?"
Golden Hat regained his signature smile again, supporting his chin with his hands crossed. Chu Cheng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the words that came out of his mouth the next second were like thunder from the blue:
"I want you to find a way to spread the word that Nero did not collapse, and He is in the storm of Atako."
Without waiting for the Golden Hat to say anything, Chu Cheng placed a small bottle of light blue liquid with golden flashes on the table. Seeing this, the man in the golden hat immediately shut up and patted his chest, as if he wanted to run to the street and shout with a loudspeaker the next second.
Chu Cheng pushed the bottle forward with satisfaction. The man in the golden hat quickly took the small bottle and looked around, fearing that a third person would see it. He didn't even notice the laughter and chatter just now.
Perhaps he felt that his behavior just now was a little inappropriate. The man in the golden hat put his hand in front of his mouth and coughed twice, then asked curiously,
"Why... why did you spread such news?"
Chu Cheng glanced at him, and the man in the golden hat immediately became interested and stopped asking questions. He pushed the two passes in front of Chu Cheng. When Chu Cheng stretched out his hand, the man in the golden hat held it firmly.
Chu Cheng raised his eyelids to look at him, only to see the man in the golden hat bending down and covering his mouth, whispering in a low voice,
"Just because you gave me this treasure, from now on, you can come to me and ask anything for free!"
Chu Cheng smiled, took the pass away, and waved his hand before leaving,
"If you work honestly, this little thing is nothing."
Chu Cheng, who seemed calm on the surface, actually had the system screaming in his mind all the time
[Host! Host, are you crazy!!! 1w popularity is worth a bottle of dragon blood, and you just spread a rumor!!!]
[Shut up, do you have a mute button? Turn it on quickly]
[!!! 】
The system could only angrily exclaim, and then Chu Cheng calmly blocked the entire system. Chu Cheng, who opened the door, felt as if he was in another world.
"Tsk... the sun is so dazzling..."
When he looked up, he could see two boys sitting on a bench not far away. They looked idle and were already counting the bugs on the ground. Chu Cheng waved his hand, and Carl immediately ran over with his tail wagging.
"Here, the pass."
Lima and Carl each took one. The pass is actually a dark purple card. Carl fiddled with it for a while, then suddenly realized something and immediately looked up at Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng also tacitly knew what Carl wanted to say, and shrugged his shoulders.
"Since you already have the pass and the ticket, then we will..."
Seeing that the little golden retriever's ears were about to droop, Chu Cheng raised his hand like magic, and the card between his fingers was the pass.
"Then let's set off tomorrow?"
