The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

The entire decorative painting uses a sacred warm golden tone, emphasizing the dazzling sense of light. Just looking at it will make you feel very sacred.

However, I don’t know if it’s because it’s just a decorative painting. These colors seem to be carefully arranged throughout the canvas, but they are separated from each other, making it impossible to piece together a complete image, and no specific things can be seen.

Although decorative paintings that are purely colorful are not uncommon, it is probably the first time that Lan Jie has seen a painting like this that clearly looks sacred, but gives people an uncomfortable sense of distortion and fragmentation.

His throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Only then did Lan Jie gather his energy and walked forward.

Plop, plop...

As he walked up and down the steps, Lan Jie tried his best to prick up his ears and try to find out what was going on on the second floor.

But no matter how hard he tried, all he could hear was his own footsteps and heartbeat.

Until he stepped onto the last step.

"Oh!"

The sudden explosion startled Lan Jie. He instinctively raised his hand to block it, but the expected impact did not come.

At the same time, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Hey, kid, don't be so nervous. Is my welcome ceremony so scary?"

Hearing this voice, Lan Jie came back to his senses, looked at his body, and suddenly found that his body was covered with ribbons of various colors.

The explosion just now was actually the sound of a ribbon salute.

Realizing this, Lan Jie suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although I knew that the old guy in front of me definitely had no good intentions, what I just did was still a bit embarrassing.

"Ahem, sorry, it was so quiet at night, I was shocked." Lan Jie cleared his throat and started to move forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, the floor under his feet suddenly turned over, and then several pigeons flew out from under the floor, fluttering the bird feathers on Lan Jie's face, which scared Lan Jie into screaming again.

At the same time, there was another burst of laughter in the room.

Lan Jie immediately felt a little overwhelmed, stepped on his feet, and glared at the source of the laughter.

"Master Sebuike, are you going a little too far?" Lan Jie said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Sebuike, who was wearing a nightgown and even a crooked conical nightcap, did not restrain the smile on his face at all, but said: "My little friend Lanjie, I will You made the appointment last night when you sent the letter, and you made me wait for an extra day. Isn’t it right that I tease you to let you out?"

"You said you came to see you late at night, and you didn't specify which day it was late at night. How do I know?" Lan Jie felt a little angry, but suddenly remembered Lu Lin's explanation, took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger. He went down and said, "Oh...well, it's my fault. After all, your letter was delivered suddenly, so you have to let me think about it, right?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, just come," Sebuike smiled and gestured to the seat opposite him, "Please sit down."

"Is there anything else to tease me about?" Lan Jie asked with a vigilant look on his face.

"Hahaha, don't worry. Do you still think I'm some naughty child who keeps playing pranks on you?" Sebuike waved his hand.

"That's good," Lan Jie said, holding the gift box in his hand, he sat on the seat opposite Sebuike, and then placed the gift box on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Huh? What is this?" Sebuike looked at the gift box on the table with interest.

"After all, you are the master in our town. I thought it would be rude to come empty-handed, so I bought some high-end snacks to bring with me. I hope the master won't dislike it," Lan Jie said, opening the gift box and revealing ten There are six desserts separated by cardboard, which look like high-end macarons.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Sebuike immediately showed interest and came closer, "Ah, this sweet smell is so fragrant, and it looks very exquisite... Well, every flavor here is delicious. no the same?"

"Yes, each one is different," Lan Jie said with a smile, "The customized gift box from Trier Pastry Shop is the latest new product. Master is busy on weekdays, so you haven't tried it yet, right?"

"Well, I really haven't tasted it," Sebuike said with a smile, "There are so many flavors... Well, I don't know, which flavors do little Lanjie recommend?"

Hearing this, Lan Jie was obviously stunned for a moment, laughed twice, and then said: "Ah ha, these things are quite expensive. I am willing to buy them for myself. I really don't know which ones are delicious. You How about trying it yourself?"

"Oh, that's right," Sebuike said as if he suddenly realized, "Then... well, let me try this piece first."

As he spoke, Sebuike picked up a piece of pastry in the middle and slowly moved it towards his mouth.

But in fact, his attention was not focused on the pastries at all. Instead, he was staring at Lan Jie the whole time.

When he saw Lan Jie looking at him eagerly almost the whole time, as if he was looking forward to him eating the pastry, Sebuek's lips raised a smile.

He closed his mouth, looked at Lan Jie with a smile, and said, "I suddenly feel that this is not appropriate."

Lan Jie trembled after hearing this, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Uh...what's wrong with it?"

"Look, you bought this pastry. You didn't even eat it yourself before thinking about buying it for me. But today you came and I even played a prank on you. Thinking of this, I feel really uncomfortable. It’s appropriate, so…”

Sebuike said as he turned the pastry in his hand to Lan Jie.

"I think I'd rather give you this piece of cake to eat first?"

"This..." Lan Jie grinned, "It's not good, is it? This is a meeting gift I brought you. How can I eat it myself?"

"No, I don't mind," the smile on Sebuike's face became even bigger, "Come on, eat, don't be polite to me."

He smiled brightly and his tone was gentle, but inexplicably, Lan Jie felt a hint of threat.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Two seconds later, Lan Jie suddenly laughed.

"Haha, then, hey, you're welcome," Lan Jie took the pastry, rubbed a handful of unnecessary haha, and then directly put the pastry into his mouth.

Sebuike's brows suddenly moved.

He was about to say something, but he saw Lan Jie chewing intoxicatedly and saying vaguely: "Ah, it's so delicious. This taste. Alas, everything about this gift box is good, but every taste is delicious." There’s only one copy, okay…”

As he spoke, Lan Jie handed the pastry that he had bitten off half a piece to Sebuike again. Then, he swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said clearly: "Fortunately, I didn't finish it all, otherwise I would stuff it." Master Sebuike can’t taste it... Ah, by the way, Master Sebuike, you wouldn’t mind me biting it, right?”

Sebuike looked at Lan Jie, the smile on his face did not change at all, and he took the piece of pastry very naturally.

"Of course, little friend Lanjie," Sebuike said, bringing the half piece of pastry to his mouth, and then chewed it with a look of intoxication.

However, Lan Jie, who has keen vision, still saw it. The moment Sebuike put the pastry into his mouth, he let go, and the half piece of pastry fell into his sleeve under the cover of his arm. inside.

However, Lan Jie, who noticed this scene, was not annoyed at all, and even the smile on his face was a little wider than before.

Chapter 51 If nothing happens, something will happen.

In the night, the huge gray and white cat's face flickered in and out of the shadows of the buildings.

Black dust fell from Lu Lin's hand, carving out complex rune patterns on the ground.

Finally, with the eggbeater in Lu Lin's hand, bah, it was a wave of the alchemy staff, the dust condensed, and the originally hazy runes instantly became clear, and then, the edges of the runes lit up with warm orange fluorescence.

"Well, that's enough..." Lu Lin murmured, patting the ashes on his body.

Then, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Tanuki, who was wearing a white dress, was standing there quietly at the moment, as dazed as ever.

When Lu Lin saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Li Mi, are you really not sleepy? In fact, you can sleep at home."

Li Mi didn't answer, and didn't even move his head, as if he didn't hear Lu Lin speak at all.

"Oh, forget it, that's okay," Lu Lin turned to look at a luxurious building not far ahead.

That is Sebuike's sacred alchemy workshop.

"This kid has been in there for a while. There shouldn't be any big problems..."

----

----

Sebuek's Sacred Alchemy Workshop, second floor.

The two people sitting at the coffee table were smiling and looking happy.

It's just that the pastry on the table, even though its sweet aroma is so tempting, just smelling it will make the kid next door cry, but no one has touched it since the first piece was missing.

The two of them also had a tacit understanding, and neither mentioned the cake thing again, as if the game test just now had never happened.

"Master, didn't you say that as long as I can come, I can know the cause of my eldest brother's death?" Lan Jie sat on the coffee table, put his elbows on both sides of his knees, touched his fingers, and said unhurriedly, "But The problem is, I know the cause of my eldest brother's death very clearly. It was all caused by that bastard named Peterpi who was covered in ghost symbols. My eldest brother repeatedly showed mercy to him during duels, but he was lucky enough to seize the opportunity and directly chop off my eldest brother's head. "

"You are right," Sebuike nodded, "but you have never thought about how your elder brother would catch such an opportunity with his ability?"

"That's wrong," Lan Jie shrugged, "In a duel, swords have no eyes, and my elder brother is not an invincible god of war. He wanted to save Peter's life, but that fellow Peter only wanted my older brother's life. , but anyone who practices martial arts knows how dangerous this situation can be."

"Hmm...well, what you said does make sense," Sebuike smiled, "Then, have you ever thought about why Peterpin was so eager to kill your brother? You guys? After all, they are just fighting for power, not fighting to the death. Even if he wants to be cruel, it is enough to cut off your eldest brother's arm. When it is over, he will spend money to buy high-end healing crystals to help your eldest brother reattach his arm. Isn't this the case? Can you not only convince the public, but also keep your eldest brother as a general to serve him?"

Hearing this, Lan Jie's brows moved.

This rhetoric was somewhat familiar to him.

Although the content of what Lu Lin said was different, the core meaning was the same, pointing out the doubts about the motives and benefits of Peter Pi's on-site murder.

But the problem is that Lu Lin was able to point this out because he saw Peter Pi take action with his own eyes.

But Sebuike was not at the scene, so how could he know what was going on at that time?

Of course, if asked now, he would probably say that someone told him about the situation at the scene, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that the logical chain behind this is quite unnatural.

"The fox's tail is leaking out..."

Lan Jie thought to himself, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to argue with Sebuike, and said directly: "So, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Woldy, do you know this person?" Sebuek asked.

"I know," Lan Jie nodded, "Peterpi's bitch, covered in ghost talismans like his boss, the Night Snail sect's tattooed twin insects."

"Others' external nicknames are obviously the Tattooed Two Heroes. Forget it, they're all the same." Sebuike sat up, leaned on the back of the sofa, clasped his fingers, and said slowly, "This guy Voldy, he fought with weapons the year before last." Didn’t I almost die at your hands?”

"Huh? Is this the case?" Lan Jie was stunned for a moment.

"Have you forgotten? You guys had a conflict at the East Street Gambling House last year. They cheated your people. You went to find a venue and almost killed all the gambling houses for them," Sebuike said. "At that time , Waldy is among them.”

"Hmm... It seems that there was such a thing," Lan Jie touched his chin, "But they were so careless at the time that they forgot about it later, so what?"

"He almost lost his life that time. Although he was saved by doctors, his little brother could not get up again," Sebuike said. "Later, he found me and wanted me to save his second brother. , I agreed, and the condition was that he be my spy within the Yeshu Sect."

Hearing this, Lan Jie's brows moved.

This argument sounds okay at first glance, but Lan Jie has no way to verify its authenticity, even if Sebuike breaks it off, there is nothing he can do.

Nodding pretentiously, Lan Jie said, "So that's it. That's really interesting. So what did he tell you?"

"He didn't tell me much. After all, he is also Peter Pi's confidant, and he would be a little unhappy about betraying his boss," Sebuek said unhurriedly, "But I still have something in my hand. A lot of other information, plus some of the key information he provided, I still discovered a big thing..."

"From the death of the son of the former gang leader of your gang, to the disappearance of the former gang leader, to the death of your brother, this series of events was all the work of Peter Pi!"

Hearing this, Lan Jie's eyes immediately widened.

He was really startled.

Although he had thought that Sebuike could talk nonsense, he didn't expect him to be so capable of talking nonsense.

If he hadn't known in advance how Debel and the former gang leader died, he would have almost believed it.

Seeing Lan Jie's reaction, Sebuike smiled and asked, "What, you don't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it," Lan Jie reacted quickly and immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope, "How could he, a mere ordinary man, have the ability to do such a big thing?"

"Haha, of course he can't do it alone, but there are people behind him to help him," Sebuike sneered, "You know, the night when Debel died, your former gang leader did not take him to bury him, nor did he He took him back to the main hall, but came to find me here. Guess what I found on Debel?"

"Stop being so pretentious," Lan Jie frowned impatiently, "How do you expect me to guess?"

"Okay, it's a curse. I found traces of being cursed on him," Sebuike said in a deep voice, "You know, there has never been anyone in our town who can cast a curse, so at first I thought that bastard had offended some passing wizard."

"But in the end, within a few days, your former gang leader and his cronies all disappeared. I realized that this matter might not be that simple."

"And now, based on the little information Voldi provided me, I am sure that all of this is the conspiracy of Peter Pi, oh no, it should be said, it is the wizard behind him."

Chapter 52 Compared with any statue of god, the Oscar statuette is probably more suitable.

"Seriously, the depth of this wizard's plan is rarely seen in the world."

Sebuike intertwined his fingers and talked eloquently.

"He cursed Debel to death, used this design to lure the Black Snail Gang's top brass into his trap, and then killed all the original Black Snail Gang top brass. Then, he cursed and killed Peter Pi and your eldest brother in the duel. Your big brother."

"The reason why Peterpi was so anxious to kill your eldest brother was because he was afraid that you would find out the clues."

"At this point, the wizard's goal has been achieved."

"The old gang leader is dead, and your eldest brother is also dead. Peterpi will naturally become the next leader of the Black Snail Gang, and he will be the puppet leader firmly in the hands of this wizard."

"As for what the wizard plans to do with the hands of this puppet leader in the future, I don't know for the time being."
