Picked up the devil, but very traditional

"Understand BOSS."

The watchmaker took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened: "If you dare to take my things, you will pay the price!"

After tidying up his appearance, the watchmaker calmed down and whistled softly, preparing to return to the banquet hall.

"Time is money, and money can buy time."

……

Lianjiao City.

After getting the watch, Li Ming isolated it in a special box and had someone send it to the headquarters for research.

Xiao Zhang ran in at this time: "Captain Li, we have found all the information about that store."

Li Ming took a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them over: "Eat while you talk."

"Uh-huh!"

"The owner's name is Du Xie, from Yuhai. He is married with one son and one daughter. He came to Lianjiao City five years ago and opened this store. He owns six properties and a resort. He is also a director of two listed companies. His family is very wealthy."

"However, his background is very clean and has nothing to do with weirdness. He goes fishing in the nearby Lotus Township almost every weekend. It is preliminarily inferred that he has no connection with the watchmaker."

Li Ming took a few bites of rice and asked, "Where's the waiter?"

"The clerk's name is Gu En, he's nineteen, and he's a student at this city's Lianhua University. His grades aren't particularly outstanding. He started working in this store about a year ago, and he works part-time every weekend and during holidays."

"besides……"

Xiao Zhang paused for a moment, and Li Ming asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"It's not an anomaly. The Administration has a backup of his name."

"Backup? Which incident?"

Generally speaking, if ordinary people's names are backed up in the bureau, it is because they were involved in strange events and retained their memories of the time.

Although someone in the Administration has the means to erase memory, there is often no guarantee that the administrator will be present, so one can only take their chances.

Therefore, most of the time, they are absorbed into the Management Bureau and serve as E-level personnel.

Or sign a confidentiality agreement with them and return to normal life.

Xiao Zhang swallowed and said, "Yes... Operation File 101 The Evil God is Coming."

Hearing this, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and even retracted his hand that was about to pick up some food.

"He was only nineteen, which means he was nine years old?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhang nodded: "I don't have the authority to see the specific situation. I can only find Gu En's information, which says that his memory has been cleared."

"All the information is normal. It should have nothing to do with the watchmaker."

Although Gu En's behavior was somewhat abnormal, it had not yet reached the point where an on-site investigation was warranted, so all Xiao Zhang found were paper materials.

But it doesn’t matter even if it is discovered. It is normal to retain fear of darkness after the memory is erased.

"In that case, let the logistics department study it. Let's eat first."

"Ok!"

……

On the other side of the city, in an old residential area, Gu En was still practicing drawing magic circles.

Melu drew two more magic circles for him. One was a magic circle based on the seventh-level magic circle, Judgment Blockade.

It is slightly stronger than the immobilization spell and also has a silencing effect.

One is the magic [Dark Star Shield] modified from the eighth-level magic [Dark Star Shield]

You can summon a star that emits black light around you to block a ranged magic attack.

Both magic spells sound very practical, but Gu En is unsure about their effects.

Just as I was about to ask, my cell phone suddenly rang. I looked at the screen and it was a call from Boss Du.

"Hey Xiao Gu, did you take off your watch?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"Why didn't you ask me for money? Did you pay?"

"I paid negative fifty thousand."

"?"

Li Ming and the other person both had official identities, so they finally completed the transaction under the witness of the police, and the money had been transferred to Boss Du's account.

Gu En briefly told him the whole process, but he didn't care. Besides, he was planning to send him to the police station anyway.

As for the money, Du Jie really didn't care about the 100,000 or 80,000 yuan. He didn't even notice the extra 150,000 yuan in his account.

"So that's how it is. OK, I'll give you a big red envelope when I get back."

"thank you boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu En felt a little better.

He actually lost a hundred dollars in that transaction during the day.

The 50,000 yuan given by the man in the suit has been returned, and the 150,000 yuan was directly deposited into Boss Du’s card, and he even paid back 100 yuan.

Now that I have the red envelope promised by Boss Du, I naturally feel a lot better.

Turning to look at the sofa, Melu was still reading a comic, she was already immersed in it.

"Mr. Meilu!"

"Ah! What's wrong?" Meilu was startled.

"I have already mastered the first magic circle. What should I do next?"

"So fast!" Meilu was a little unconvinced. She put down the comic and came over to say, "Draw a picture for me to see."

Gu En turned over a new piece of paper and drew the magic circle of fireball on it, and the difference was almost zero.

"Yeah~ Not bad, not that stupid."

"That's because you taught me well."

In fact, the magic circle of fireball is not complicated, but the size range and some special angles are difficult to control. This is why it took a day, otherwise it should have been faster.

Don't underestimate the talents cultivated by rote learning. Even if they may not be good at other things, they are top-notch at memorizing texts and doing repetitive tasks.

Why is the essence of human beings like a repeater? Isn't it because of training from childhood?

Meilu's lips curled up, and she was very pleased with the compliment: "Then I will teach you the next step. Close your eyes first."

"it is good!"

Gu En did as he was told.

"There are five corners on the magic circle, namely earth, fire, wind, water, and soul. Feel the magic power in your body, and then use the magic power to connect the magic elements in the air. Draw the magic circle just now, and you can cast the fireball spell!"

"Wait a minute!" Gu En said bitterly, "Teacher Meilu, can you explain it in a simpler way?"

Meilu pouted: "I just praised you for being smart, but now you're stupid again. What step don't you understand?"

"Uh...are you sure the magic circle only has five corners? Why do I feel like there are twenty-three?"

"Don't talk back! Do you want to teach me or should I?"

Melu held back her laughter. She could finally teach others. She had to vent out all the grievances she had suffered while learning magic!

Once I’ve been caught in the rain, I’ll overturn all the umbrellas!

Chapter 12 If I break my oath, let me go to hell immediately!

The next day, Sunday.

There are much fewer people on the streets today, as everyone is staying at home to enjoy their weekly nap.

Du Jie's second-hand shop was open as usual. Meilu rushed to the second floor early to look for the next volume of the comic book, which she had been talking about for a long time last night.

After a quick clean up, Gu En began to do perception exercises.

Yesterday, the Magic Sealing Bottle digested the gears in the watch and replenished a lot of magic power, allowing Gu En to have a clearer understanding of magic power.

But Gu En still had no idea how to use magic.

Melu's explanation was that the affinity with the elements was not enough. Simply put, she had to treat the elements in the air as a puppy and use her own magic to tease them from time to time.

If you have enough magic power, you can also actively release some of it as feeding.

This way, it will be much easier to cast magic next time.

Gu En doesn't have much magic power reserves now, and can only fire a few fireballs. He is not qualified to feed, so he should focus on teasing.

The store was much quieter today than yesterday. The only customers were a group of students who had just finished their cram school classes and bought some things with their pocket money. There were no strange people around.

A peaceful daily life is what most people live.

Time passed by unknowingly, Gu En stretched and stopped practicing. He didn't expect magic to be so difficult. He didn't even learn a fireball in two days.

Tsk~

It turns out that I was born to enjoy life.

Looking outside the door, the afterglow of the setting sun has already crept into the store door, and the entire street is shrouded in warm light, looking so peaceful and tranquil.

Gu En looked at the time again and frowned. Why hasn’t the boss come back yet?

You usually come back before five o'clock. What happened today?

Could it be that he found a great fishing spot and was reluctant to leave?

Gu En called to inquire, but no one answered.

I didn't take it too seriously. It's normal for fishermen to forget the time while fishing.

He got up and walked out of the store, put away the stall and prepared to go home.

After returning, I will try the fireball technique, so that I can be mentally prepared in case I really need to fight by myself in the future.

Gu En was tidying up when he heard footsteps and the sound of dripping water nearby.
