Chapter 748: The Dog Food Was Eaten Unexpectedly, the Old and Strong Blind Man (1/2)
Erica's expression froze, and she forced a smile, "If the value of the divination result exceeds one million, you don't have to tell me."
Hearing this, Matt's face became serious, "Your father's matter is just a cover. What you want me to do for you is very dangerous, right?"
Erica shrugged, "I'm not sure."
Matt laughed at himself, "I thought you came back with an apology, now it seems that I thought too much, you just want to manipulate me."
"I didn't, but I know you." Erica said seriously, "I know you better than you think, I know what you will do."
"That's not necessarily true." Matt snorted, and then gave Aaron an apologetic smile, "Thank you for the hospitality, the dinner was delicious.
I'm leaving first, and I must emphasize that her affairs have nothing to do with me."
Aaron made a gesture to the door, "Go slowly, I won't see you off."
"Take care of yourself! Erica." Matt patted Erica on the shoulder, picked up the guide stick and turned to leave.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Aaron ate a big mouthful of watermelon, "Lawyer Matt still cares about you, but you seem to have hurt his heart again."
"Maybe! I don't want to either.
Can I do divination? If the result is really serious, maybe I will give up."
"Yes, but the accuracy is not guaranteed." Aaron took out the crystal ball and concentrated his attention to try his best to clear the layers of fog in the future.
After a long time, he put the crystal ball away and looked at Erica with a little more pity.
"You can leave."
"Ah?" Erica didn't understand, "What does this mean?
Even if I can't afford the divination fee, you won't directly order me to leave!"
"I think you misunderstood something. The reason I asked you to leave is... I don't accept money from the dead."
Hearing this, Erica frowned, "Did you see my death?"
"Your fate is more vague than I thought. I only saw a rough idea, but it should be correct."
"Divination may not be accurate, right?" Erica asked casually.
"Yes, the accuracy of divination is not 100%." Aaron nodded to comfort her, and added in his heart, but my divination accuracy is very high, otherwise I would not say that I would not accept money from the dead.
"Can you tell me how I died?"
Aaron shook his head and did not answer.
"Does it have anything to do with what I am going to do next?"
"Maybe!" Aaron said ambiguously, "Destiny is unpredictable. When you know it, it begins to change.
You know what to do, and I won't give you any wrong suggestions."
Erica thought about it and turned away blankly.
After a while, Matt returned, his eyes under the sunglasses with obvious anxiety.
"I know it." Aaron smiled as expected, "As long as a man has a place for a woman in his heart, he will use all kinds of ridiculous reasons to convince himself even if he is unwilling.
If I am not mistaken, you heard the conversation between me and Erica Nachis."
"How did she die?" Matt asked directly.
"I've already said that I only saw a rough idea."
"A rough idea is fine, tell me."
"What can you give?" Aaron asked bluntly.
"I..." Matt opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Haha!" Aaron looked at him playfully, "This is why I want to make money. When someone asks a similar question, I can confidently report my bank deposits.
But you... are full of passion, but have nothing.
In a sense, this is the sadness that belongs only to heroes, so I don't want to be a hero.
But even if they know this, heroes will still do what they think is right without hesitation."
Matt was speechless. After a long silence, he said, "Can I owe you money?"
Puff!
Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Interesting, I really didn't expect you to say such a thing."
"I can't help it, I really don't have money." Matt said awkwardly, "I can write an IOU."
"Forget it! I am indeed interested in money, but not much.
Help me do one thing, I can tell you the picture I divined."
Matt breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have something to discuss, the worst thing is to have nothing to discuss.
"What is it? As long as I can do it."
"Help me keep an eye out for some magical items." Aaron raised a finger, "Any kind is fine."
"Uh... can you be more specific?"
"Items that only exist in legends, or have special powers."
"This..." Matt was stunned, "It's specific, but how can I find it?"
"That's your business, you have good hearing, so I made this condition."
"Okay, I promise you, now tell me the picture I divined."
"Two scenes, one of which shows her being besieged by a group of people, and the other shows her falling to the ground, with her abdomen cut open by a sharp weapon and covered in blood."
Matt's expression became strange, "Based on these two scenes, you judge that Erica will die?"
"What else?" Aaron said as a matter of course, "Being besieged, seriously injured and dead, if she didn't die, so many people could have stabbed her a few more times."
Couldn't Erica have killed everyone, and then she ran out of energy, seriously injured and unconscious?
Matt thought this was very likely, but what Aaron said made sense.
Originally, he didn't want to care, but the danger of what Erica was going to do next seemed beyond imagination. After all, it was his ex-girlfriend... what a bad fate!
"I will notify you in time if there is any news you want."
"No need to see you off."
After Matt left, Aaron stretched and sat on the sofa.
He had no interest in the emotional experience of the 'Devil of Hell's Kitchen', but he was a little curious about what choice he would make after knowing the results of the divination, and whether he could save his ex-girlfriend's life.
At this time, the door of the store was pushed open again. Aaron looked at Erica who was hesitant to speak, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"I know what you want to ask.
Matt just left. If nothing goes wrong, you can wait for him at home tonight."
Hearing this, Erica smiled unconsciously.
Sure enough, men are creatures who say one thing and mean another. Matt is still worried about her!
After getting this answer, Erica did not stay, and she felt much more relaxed when she left.
"What's the matter!" Aaron smiled and shook his head, "I just wanted to eat some melons, but now it seems that I have eaten a bite of dog food that I was caught off guard!"
"Master." Fox flew over, "The girl I mentioned some time ago, you..."
"This... let it go!"
"Master." Fox became anxious, "That girl is very popular, you'd better act quickly.
If you don't have time, I can go out and watch her for you."
Aaron:......
Is this bird too worried?
......
The next day.
Aaron signed in, washed up, and had breakfast as usual.
Then he walked into the medicine room to bottle a new pot of Fuling potion. The light golden potion symbolized strong luck and was one of the few things that made him happy.
There were also some new developments in the refining of enchanted bullets. The peaceful life during this period of time allowed him to improve his alchemy to a certain extent, and he could barely enchant the bullets eight times.
However, ordinary materials could not bear the magic power of eight enchantments, so the vibranium and adamantium alloy that had been traded with SHIELD before came in handy at this time.
The two rare metals were refined into a flintlock bullet and two heavy sniper bullets, which just matched the red spider lily and the demon hunter.
Da, da, da...
The sound of knocking on the floor suddenly reached Aaron's ears.
Turning his head, an old man wearing a hat and sunglasses and holding a guide stick walked in slowly.
"Oh! Another blind man, and not just an ordinary blind man." Aaron complained in his heart, but still greeted him politely, "Old man, how can I help you?"
"My friend recommended me here, saying that your restaurant is the most delicious in New York."
"Who spread the rumor?" Aaron said unhappily, "It is obviously the most delicious in the world, and catering is just one of the businesses of Pepsi."
The old man's face twitched, and then he reached into his pocket with his left hand and took out two hundred-dollar bills, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to taste it."
Aaron rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that this blind old man came to eat.
The calluses on his hands, the vicissitudes on his face, the vitality and temperament on his body, each of them proves that he is a top-notch fighting master.
It's just that he is a little older. If he were a few decades younger, he would be another Daredevil. Even now, Matt may not be able to beat him.
"Although you need to make an appointment to eat here, you are lucky, old man. I am in a good mood today.
Two hundred yuan can buy a rice bowl and a beer." Aaron said and led him to the dining area, "Please wait."
The blind man sat down at the table, his nose slightly twitched, and his brows slightly wrinkled.
What kind of restaurant is this? He couldn't smell any smell at all, but he didn't think there was something wrong with his sense of smell.
However, a moment later, Aaron put a hot rice bowl and a glass of bubbling beer on the table.
"This..." The old man sniffed, showing a satisfied and strange look, "It seems that my friend didn't lie to me, the food here is really top-notch.
But boss, I have a small problem. I didn't smell anything before you brought the food."
"Special method to isolate the smell of the kitchen, this is to give customers a good dining environment." Aaron said seriously.
Magic is a special method. No matter how sharp your nose is, you can't smell the smell inside the barrier.
"I see." The old man still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't care too much. He picked up the spoon and slowly enjoyed the delicious food.
Perhaps because of his age, he ate much slower than ordinary people. It took him more than half an hour to finish a bowl of rice.
Then he picked up the beer on the table and drank it clean in three or two gulps.
"Very delicious." The old man stood up slowly, "But in addition to being delicious, the energy contained in the food is even more unexpected.
After eating this, I may not feel hungry today."
"So your two hundred yuan is worth it."
"It's really worth it." The old man smiled, "By the way, I heard that you can also tell fortunes here, right!"
This blind old man is probably related to Matt and Erica, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
Judging from his age and eyes, he and Matt have a special relationship, either a teacher or a mentor.
But Matt knows himself and won't disturb him casually, so it can only be Erica.
Aaron suppressed his thoughts and looked the old man up and down, "My fee is very expensive, you..."
"Money is not a problem." The old man took out a bank card from his other pocket and put it on the table, "I came in a hurry, so I only brought two million."
"You wear this outfit with two million?" Aaron blurted out, "Uh... Sorry, I'm just a little confused.
It may be a bit impolite to say this, but your whole body, including the guide stick and sunglasses, should be less than fifty!"
"It's convenient to wear this way, if you also travel around the world." The old man explained concisely.
Aaron seemed to understand what he meant, "What do you want to predict?"
"Can we destroy the Hand and the Society?"
'We? The Hand and the Society? ' Aaron's mind was filled with the open and secret struggles between the two organizations, and he pushed the bank card in front of the old man without much hesitation.
"Sorry, I can't tell you about this."
"Why?"
"Divination is not omnipotent. I can catch the gap of fate through divination, but I can't decide which one it is.
The content you want me to tell is too complicated. It's hard for me to answer with 'yes' or 'no'."
"I think I understand." The old man nodded and pushed the bank card forward a little. "Please tell me about my future destiny."
"That's fine, but I'm not 100% sure." Aaron smiled and walked to the crystal ball.
Through the layers of fog, he saw dim lights and a bottomless cave, and the old man in front of him was waving a bloody samurai sword.
"Interesting, you are still strong even at old age!" Aaron looked at the old man's lifeless eyes meaningfully, "I saw you kill someone, and your movements were neat and smooth.
You can't tell that you are an old man, let alone a blind old man."
"Don't worry, that's a common thing." The old man said calmly, "Where did I kill people?"
"I only saw a huge cave next to you, the kind that is bottomless."
Hearing this, the old man frowned, "They have found it, but they are still digging."
"I have no interest in your affairs. If there is nothing else, you can leave, old man."
"Aren't you curious about who asked me to come?"
"I can roughly guess, but I don't want to get involved."
"Have you heard of the Hand and the Society?"
"No."
"An evil organization that has existed for centuries, or even longer."
"It's none of my business."
"Their leader has never changed."
"Oh!" Aaron paused, "I am interested in learning about this."
