Chris's Faith of Fire

Seeing this, the surrounding pedestrians all moved out of the way.

"He stole the money saved by a young worker last week, so just let it go."

Chijiu whispered in my ear. My ears felt a little itchy, but I didn't have time to care about such trivial matters at the moment.

"Even if you say so, I have no grudge against him. If I don't take the time to know more details..."

"You don't need to know, dear little kitten. I've just told you what you need to know. You should remember it very clearly... If you can't steal it, there will be punishment."

"..."

Chijiu left his ear and interrupted what I wanted to say. The word "punishment" seemed to have magic power that sent chills down my spine. Ever since I saw that lair, I understood what the so-called punishment was.So I don’t want to think too much now…

"Let yourself be a real beast, kitty."

Chijiu lightly patted my butt. Due to the nervousness, he didn't dare to scream out, so he instinctively took a step forward.

It's not time to watch a show.

It seemed like he wouldn't be walking too fast with that figure, so he had to keep up with him.

At that moment, the target man looked back, and I hurriedly lowered my head and blended into the crowd. He looked left and right, and looked back for several seconds. It wasn't until the moving crowd bumped into his bloated body that the guy began to gradually move towards me. Move forward.

Did you notice me?

No, maybe I just feel guilty about being a thief... But who is the thief now?

Looking behind her, Miss Akagito had already disappeared. Her movements were just like her nickname, like a bird that could escape from sight at any time.

I recalled that yesterday Chijiu took me into the sewers of this city, a gathering place for thieves in that dark and damp corner.

It seems that Miss Akagi did not communicate with her companions in advance.

When the thieves saw me for the first time, they sneered, as if they were staring at a lamb that strayed into a pack of wolves. The unfriendly atmosphere spread in the dank air until a thick voice broke the silence.

"Chijiu, the baby should be given to Pamela's mother. Although you have brought good quality goods, you cannot break the rules here."

A man with a bald head and fine clothes jumped down from the big wooden barrel in the back room and stepped forward to talk to Chijiu.

"Haha, although she is a chick, she is different from those poultry. Her wings are used for flying."

Chijiu grinned, but she showed no fear in the face of this ferocious-looking man. She looked directly at him without any intention of showing any weakness.

"Ying'er? I think she is more like a cat. She is more suitable lying in the arms of men..."

The man spoke unceremoniously and disrespectfully, and of course I understood what he meant. I have worked hard to live until now just to avoid this happening to me.

Do not make jokes.

His fists were clenched subconsciously, his eyebrows raised high, and the fear just now seemed to be swept away.

"That's inappropriate! Stop deciding what others should do over there, bald head!"

The words of resistance came out of his mouth instinctively, without confusion or trembling, and the angry feelings were already conveyed in the words.

But as soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it.

It’s over, I was too excited to say it!No matter how you think about it, laughing at other people's shortcomings is bad!He won't be killed.

But they looked at each other, staring at me expressionlessly for probably several seconds, and then laughed.

Although Miss Akaba was not as exaggerated as the men, she came over and patted my back with a smile.

"Did you see it, so even a cat has sharp teeth, and its seemingly gentle little tongue has barbs on it. Be careful that a piece of flesh will be cut off when she licks it."

"Hahaha, it seems that you are not completely bluffing, but what is this little girl's method? I have seen many people who exaggerate."

“She has talent and I see it with these eyes.”

"People with talent may not necessarily become successful in the end."

"You have to give her a chance, otherwise you won't be able to prove anything."

Facing Akagi's insistence, the man touched his chin. The bald man thought hesitantly for a while and then pointed his index finger towards me. It seemed that he had made a decision in his mind.

"Okay, let the little cat go to get back the little money from that damn fat man tomorrow... It's not very difficult as an exam, right?"

"Hmph, you obviously know that guy is not suitable for beginners."

"Because you said she has talent~ Hehe, if she fails, just pluck out her wings that are not yet full and give them to Pamela's mother."

The man laughed through his nose and was returned to his original position.

Everyone here has a nickname, and the good players are mostly tall, thin men with long hands.When I first came here, I was nicknamed "White Cat", which I naturally didn't like.

"You have to use your own ability to change the new name...cat."

After saying that, they stopped looking here and went to do their own thing.

Of course I understand what the so-called punishment means.

Bastard, it would have been better if I didn't chase you last night. Now I'm completely under the threat of the underworld. What a righteous thief... Although that's just my wishful understanding.

I try my best to suppress my dark thoughts at the moment and focus on my target.

After the fat man got the money, he would go to a hotel in the north near the aristocratic district to buy wine and barbecue. Then according to the intelligence, he would probably stop for a while in a square where five major roads intersected to fill up his already bloated belly and have a fight. Hiccup finally passed through the church to the west and reached the alley of the civilian area. There was a brothel there. If this guy went there, he would be dealt with by Pamela's mother in the mouth of the bald man. At that time, I was judged as a failure, although I felt that I had already failed when this guy bought the wine and barbecue.

The punishment is to work in Pamela's mother's brothel, with her body of course.There's no point in escaping, my whole movement is being monitored...

He glanced around and saw a figure at the chimney of a roof on the south side.

Sure enough.

"Goo."

Swallow your saliva, try to keep your breathing as steady as possible, and blend in with the crowd.

Walking on the street is not as simple as usual. It is not just walking casually. You must learn to blend in...

It is easy to be seen when a person walks on the street with a purpose. Don't walk in a reckless manner. Follow the footsteps of the people around you, learn their actions, and if necessary, talk to these people with a word or two at any time. Dispel the target's anxiety.

These are all tips given by Chijiu, but the more important thing is not just that.

"You have to know that true integration is not about imitation... but about immersing yourself in it and treating it as a part of daily life. Your theft is not a major action, it is just taking a fat man's wallet while shopping, but for Time and place have requirements... You can’t be expected to do well the first time, but don’t fail, the eagle must learn to fly on its own.”

This kind of mentality cannot be learned through semi-forced actions.

But Fatty has already passed through many streets, and he will probably approach the tavern to the north in less than a moment. He will look back from time to time, which is really tricky.

First, we must reduce the distance between us. Now we are nearly 10 Lars apart. Under this situation, it is almost hopeless if we do not close.

I walked to the left, quietly approached a few well-dressed children, and followed them.

Probably because it was a little too close, a little boy with blond hair looked back.

"Hey, who is that boy in the back?" Hearing his companion's words, a child looked back, then shyly turned his head and reported to his companion in a low voice.

"He doesn't seem to be a boy..."

"...Want to play with us?"

Being spoken to unexpectedly

"I'm sorry... I'm a little bit too talky right now. Huh? Okay! By the way, there's something that's bothering me right now."

I thought about it and took one of the boys' hands. His face immediately turned red.

This time the fat man didn't look here at all when he turned his head.

◆ ◇

Today's weather is still as hot as usual. The ground is like a hot iron plate. Wearing straw sandals is far from being able to block the heat coming from the ground, but if you wrap yourself up too much, it will get even hotter.

Colin's obesity made everything feel so unbearable.

"I want a beer!"

"Drink and go to brothels! Do you spend your money on these places every day? You scum!"

"Try again!"

With a snap, Colin slapped his wife aside, leaving her to kneel on the ground and cry.

After a big argument with his wife at home, he walked down the steps dissatisfied.

What does it matter? The money isn't mine anyway. It's really unlucky to end up with this stupid woman.

Colin shook the hand that slapped his wife just now, and now felt a slight pain due to the excessive force.

"Getting married is really a wrong thing. We might as well hire someone to kill this woman..."

As long as he was not present and would not be sentenced, he did not think that the leaders of Anatolia had time to care about the life and death of a civilian woman.

He touched the money bag behind his butt. These were a few bright silver coins that the thin man had saved for three years. He was very lucky and picked one up on the street yesterday. This way, even if he drinks and goes to a brothel every day, he can live happily for a long time. .

What a joy it is to use other people's money.

But that thin man isn't hiding somewhere, right?

Colin thought of this, holding the money bag behind his butt with one hand while scanning the blind spots in his field of vision.

His movements were a little funny, and his fat pig-like body made people want to avoid him when they saw him, but there was no figure of the thin man or his friend behind him.

Is it because I think too much?

But I can always feel a line of sight, as if I am being stared at by something.

Colin looked at the pedestrians coming and going, old men with canes, women, children... At this time, adult men should be working, and only homeless people would hide in alleys to avoid the scorching sun. Thinking of this, he He also raised his heavy head and looked at the dark corner. The person lying there was motionless and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"How sad."

With a contemptuous smile, Colin continued to walk happily forward. Seeing other people's misfortunes made him much happier, and today seemed to be a good day.

The relaxed state of mind made his body seem to become lighter, and this hot day didn't feel like anything.In front of you are fine wine and a girl with a perky butt. It's only a little distance from the hotel. Just wash away the unpleasantness of the day at the fountain in the square. Once the old woman dies, you won't be subject to any restrictions every day.

But at this moment, a group of little ghosts were running around in front of him.

"Go away, what did your parents teach you? Didn't they say not to block the way of adults?"

"Bah, damn fat guy..."

"What are you talking about? Let's see if I don't beat you to death, kid! Uh-huh~"

Just when he was about to raise his palm and hit the boy in front of him with the same technique as he had just slapped his wife, he was hit hard in the back. Although the impact shook him so hard that he couldn't stand upright, but due to his heavy weight His body didn't fall to the ground.

"A bunch of brats, sooner or later you will fall into the tree one by one!"

It was useless to drop harsh words, but the children had already fled in all directions, and it was not even clear who they were chasing.Colin rubbed his fat waist and finally regained his posture.

"Damn, what a bad luck...go get a beer quickly."

The fat man took a step forward.

He noticed something was wrong.

It seemed like something was missing, and I felt lighter when I walked.

"No way."

When his hand reached behind him, his empty buttocks confirmed his suspicion.

——The money bag is missing.

It's those little brats just now!

The furious Colin asked almost all the children in the city that day, and was finally taken away by the guards when he almost hit the son of a wealthy businessman.

Chapter 85 85. Fire Cat Chrissy——2

There was light rain in the sky at night, and the dark clouds were still gloomy and solemn even in the dark night. There were fewer people on the streets than usual. Even the homeless people left the corners of the roadside and gathered in the alleys covered by canvas.

It has been two holy moments since I stole the money bag, and the feeling of being watched all the time disappeared without a trace the moment I got it... But Miss Akahato still didn't show up. Doesn't it count as qualified if I didn't take the money bag back? ?

I carefully hid the smelly money bag that I didn't even want to touch in my chest, and walked through the unfamiliar path.Run through the alleys, picking up the mud on the ground.I wasn't sure if I was walking in the right direction, so I counted every corner I passed. The buildings near the mercenary station were deeply imprinted in my mind, which helped me find my way back.

"Aha."

Lying on the not-so-soft wooden bed, a few goose feathers floated into the air, then slowly fell down.

Looking at the bed beside him, Chijiu didn't come back.

My body smells like sweat, which is very annoying... I want to wash it off before going to sleep.

I remembered what Miss Lola said, there would be people peeping in the bath here.

It doesn't matter, no one would look at my body like this. After all, it seems that I haven't revealed my identity as a girl among the mercenaries?
