Chapter 21

[The top management of Fire Chasing Moth readily agreed. 】

[Under the instigation of the Fire Chasing Moth’s top brass, the common people donated generously, hoping that the gods would protect them from the erosion of the Honkai Disease. 】

[You have earned a total of 100,000 US dollars through the Atonement Scroll and received 10 crystal rewards. 】

[You have earned a total of 1 million US dollars through the Atonement Scroll and received a 100 crystal reward. 】

[You have earned a total of 10 million US dollars through the Atonement Scroll and received a 1,000 crystal reward. 】

[The crystals obtained from this evil deed have reached the upper limit, and no further crystal rewards can be extracted. 】

Qiao Qiao originally thought that by issuing indulgences, he would not only be able to make infinite money, but also be able to build an infinite crystal making machine.

But now it seems that there is an upper limit on the crystals that can be earned by relying on the Atonement Scroll, and 1,000 water is the limit.

[With the issuance of indulgences, your wealth continues to increase like a snowball, and you soon become the richest person in Twilight Street. He immediately announced the construction of a giant statue of Saint Aponia to commemorate the most beautiful goddess in his heart. 】

[After hearing this news, people were struck by lightning. They didn't expect that the money they donated would be used by you to chase stars. 】

[The streets were full of people protesting against your money-making behavior. 】

["rnm, refund the money!"]

[But your use of indulgence scrolls to raise funds is approved by the church and the government. It has been a consensual thing from the beginning, so no matter how much the people protest, it will be of no avail. 】

[And just as you expected, one night, the church's treasury was emptied. 】

[All the assets you finally harvested with the Atonement Scroll were given to the common people in Twilight Street. The top management of Fire Chasing Moth was furious about this, but you were very happy. 】

[You had no intention of handing over such a large amount of money to the Fire Chaser senior management. It hurts more to see them making money than you losing money. The gold was stolen and returned to the people. Just as you wanted, the Cat Team made great contributions. 】

[Under the bright moonlight, you also saw a girl with a cat head wearing a white cloak on Dusk Street quietly shuttling between the eaves. 】

[When Padu returned to his stronghold, he found a strange priest sitting on his bed. 】

[The cat-headed girl seemed to notice your figure and wanted to turn around and leave, but you stopped her: "Miss Padofelis, I've missed you for a long time."]

Chapter 36 The collar Qiao Qiao gave to Pado

For Qiao Qiao, if he wants to end the current situation where the Honkai Disease is raging in Twilight Street, he must first find the Fifth Herrscher and end the fifth Honkai Disease.

But this is obviously not an easy task, and coincidentally Qiaoqiao happens to know an expert in finding people.

One of the Thirteen Heroes, the inscription of Kongmeng: Padofelis.

Qiao Qiao amassed money on a large scale in order to deliberately seduce Pado, let her come to steal things, and then wait and see.

When Pado heard Qiaoqiao say that she had been missing her for a long time, she took two steps back, trying to seize the opportunity to escape. She had just stolen the money from the church and donated it to the people on Twilight Street, so she thought you I want to find her to pay back the money.

If she was caught by Qiao Qiao at this time, she wouldn't be able to pay back the money, and she might even have a scenario like: "Padophilis, you don't want your identity as a monster thief to be exposed and be thrown into jail, right?"

Pado seized the opportunity, turned around and ran towards the window, wanting to give Luda some dirt. As long as she went outside, the intricate streets of Twilight Street were her territory, and no one could catch her. .

But the next second, when Pado was about to break through the window and escape, she suddenly felt her eyes go dark and returned to where she originally stood.

"What's going on?! Could it be that..."

Pado turned his head and looked at Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on the bed not far away, and realized that he must have done something good.

In the past, Pado had encountered some people with strange abilities on Twilight Street, and perhaps Qiaoqiao was one of them.

Could it be that his ability is to control the floor?

Padu realized that he had no way to escape, and immediately fell to his knees: "Boss, I'm sorry, I will wash my hands from now on, never steal anything again, and live in peace and stability. Please let me go."

Hearing Pado's words, Qiao Qiao smiled slightly. It seemed to be very difficult for the future Thirteen Heroes of Zhuhuo Jie to live a stable life.

"Pado, you don't need to worry about stealing gold. That thing is not important to me at all. Since I can let you take it away, I won't want it back in the first place."

No matter how much money the simulator has, Qiaoqiao can't bring it back to reality.

So in his opinion, no matter how much money is lost, it doesn't hurt.

Hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Pado raised his head in confusion and touched the back of his head in confusion. How rich is this priest? He is not even angry after losing so much gold.

Padu complained secretly in his heart, but on the surface he still said cheerfully: "Hey, the boss is so arrogant, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Pado turned around and wanted to leave boldly through the door. Thinking carefully about it, he gave the stolen money to those in need on Dusk Street, which was a good thing. There was no need to be afraid of this priest who defrauded people of money. .

But just when Padu was about to open the door and take a step toward the street, her vision suddenly went dark again, and her entire body appeared in the middle of the room, falling to the floor like a stone.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Pado sat on the floor with his legs in a 'W' shape, raised his sore butt and touched it. This time he finally saw clearly how he came back to this room.

After opening the door, a black hole leading to nowhere appeared in front of him.

When Padu steps into the black hole, she will fall back to the same place from another black hole.

"You'd better not struggle, you can't escape from my grasp." Qiao Qiao said leisurely, tossing a silver coin in his hand.

Seeing the familiar silver coin in Qiaoqiao's hand, Pado quickly touched the silver coin in his chest bag that was used to block bullets.

Sure enough, it disappeared.

Pado didn't even realize when Qiaoqiao did it. The things on her body disappeared and appeared in Qiaoqiao's hands. For a thief, there is nothing more humiliating than having someone steal something without knowing it. thing.

"Didn't you say you don't care about gold with me?!" Pado said to Qiaoqiao angrily: "Why do you still insist on pestering me?"

"I've fallen in love with you, just stay with me from now on."

After hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Pado immediately thought that Qiaoqiao had fallen in love with him. Otherwise, if I have neither money nor great abilities, what will others see in me?

Aren't you attracted to your young body?

Although Padu is usually free and carefree, he is still very confident in his appearance.

Qiaoqiao didn't notice Pado's inner thoughts at all, and continued: "I know you are good at searching and infiltrating, so I want you to be mine. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

Hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Pado breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party did not threaten him with the theft.

Pado bowed his head and apologized to Qiaoqiao and said: "I'm sorry, Father, I just want to live a simple life of sleeping in and basking in the sun every day. What you want to do may be too dangerous for me, you should find someone else." Help you."

Qiaoqiao was not surprised by Pado's reply. After all, the priest who was plundering people's wealth a day ago suddenly came to ask you to come with him. Anyone with a right mind would refuse.

[After Padofelis rejects the invitation, your choice is...]

[Option 1: Just leave. 】

[Option 2: Smiling evilly and saying: "Pado, you don't want others to find out that you are a Phantom Thief and then be put in jail, right?"]

Is there still a need to choose?

Since Pado didn't listen to his good words, he had to use his usual methods.

A chill flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes, and he said with a wicked smile: "Pado, you don't want others to find out that you are a Phantom Thief and be put in jail, right?"

[The "Savior of the Wicked" talent is triggered, and the success rate of evil deeds increases. 】

[Congratulations to the host for getting 100 crystals and a chance to ‘copy items’. 】

Hearing Qiaoqiao's threat, Pado suddenly became confused. She had no way to escape now, and she was caught by Qiaoqiao, so there was no room for resistance.

"You..." Pado looked at Qiaoqiao with pitiful eyes: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Seeing that Padofelis was obedient, Qiaoqiao smiled happily and said, "I want to find someone for me."

"Looking for someone?"

Hearing this, Padofelis's eyes lit up: "I'm good at this, but... what kind of person are you looking for?"

"Hmm... I don't know what she looks like." Qiaoqiao thought for a while and said: "A while ago, an unprecedented Honkai Disease infection broke out in a nearby city. I need you to help me find the source of it. The survivor who escaped from the city must also be a person with extremely strong resistance to Honkai energy, in other words... someone who was safe from the Honkai disease infection and was not infected with Honkai disease. "

"This is a bit difficult to handle..." Patophilis said with some embarrassment. She didn't know her appearance, age, or even her gender. She was the only one who came from an area where Honkai Disease was rampant, but she herself was not affected by it. It's really difficult to find clues about this.

"You can't do it?"

Qiaoqiao said jokingly.

"Not really..." A shy smile appeared on Padofilis's face: "But...the price~~"

"This is easy to handle. I have a treasure here, which is worth a lot of money."

Hearing Qiaoqiao say that he wanted to give him something valuable, Pado's eyes immediately shone with excitement. If it was the priest's collection, it must be very valuable!

But in the next moment, Qiaoqiao held a collar and put it around Pado's neck.

Pado was caught off guard and looked down at the collar around his neck. It didn't look like the valuable thing Qiao Qiao said.

"Father, what do you mean..." Pado's voice trembled slightly, without any confidence at all: "Didn't you say you wanted to give me something valuable?"

"Yes."

Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "There is a miniature bomb inside this collar. It will explode as long as I press the button lightly. It is worth two million US dollars. Isn't it valuable?"

When Qiaoqiao said there was a bomb in the collar, Pado suddenly panicked. His fingers got stuck in the gap between the collar and the skin and wanted to pull it off from his neck: "I don't want this kind of thing as payment!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to tear it off. If it breaks away from your body, it will explode immediately."

Hearing this, Paduo was so scared that she let go of her hand, crying and hugging Qiao Qiao, begging: "Father, I'm sorry, I was too proud just now. Life is more important than money. I can help you find someone for free. Please take down this bomb!"

"Still calling you Father?"

Qiao Qiao gently lifted Paduo's chin, smiling at the corners of her mouth, but her face was extremely gloomy, and her pupils flashed with purple light: "Call me "Master" from now on, Kitty."

Chapter 37 Qiao Qiao who likes to get things for free

[Under your threat, Paduo Felice had to whisper to you "Master" in order to survive. ]

[You successfully obtained the help of the cat, and she began to investigate the body of the fifth Herrscher according to your instructions. ]

[Paduo Felice is indeed worthy of being the future Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire. Her frontal combat ability is not good, but she has maxed out her ability to search for intelligence, and soon found the trace of the fifth Herrscher's body. ]

[There are only four days left before Aponia predicts your death. You call Aponia and bring her and Padofelice to Kanreya, the city closest to Dusk Street. ]

[In this snow-covered city, there is a club called "Venus". It gathers people from both the black and white worlds of the surrounding cities, and a large number of illegal transactions are also carried out here. ]

[It is the first time for Aponia to come to such a mixed underground club. She asked in confusion: "Qiao Qiao, you said you want to defeat the Honkai disease, but why did you bring me to such a place?" ]

[You ordered a cocktail and then replied: "Don't underestimate this kind of place. You may get something unexpected here." ]

[Aponia looked at the chaotic and noisy crowd around her. The threads of fate wrapped around each person are different. Some are happy and happy. Looking around, men and women are having fun. She doesn't think there is a way to defeat the Honkai disease in such a place: " What exactly is the harvest you are talking about? "]

[Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "I mean that in such an inconspicuous place, it is often possible to discover some talents or treasures that others have not yet noticed. Look at Paduo, she is so capable. Wasn't she just a thief in Dusk Street before?"]

[You learned from Paduo that this underground club is full of girls who have lost their hometowns and have nowhere to go. After they become adults, they are almost all used as tools for the club to make money. They work until they are old and ugly. They will be thrown away ruthlessly after the last bit of value is squeezed out. The only way for them to get out is to have a kind-hearted person spend money to forgive them.]

[In the dim dance floor, sexy girls wearing body-shaping clothes and stockings walked around with silver plates with glasses of water in their hands. The top girl among them was a girl named "Alina". She was originally born into a wealthy aristocratic family, but because of the outbreak of the Honkai disease, all her family members died. Only she was safe and sound, but she had to wander outside alone. In the end, I don't know why she fell into such a romantic place. ]

[You ordered a cocktail from the menu, while Abonya and Paddo only ordered water and orange juice. ]

[You asked the two hostesses in the club about Alina. According to them, Alina is the hottest star in their club, and many noble children usually give her gifts. Tomorrow is her coming of age day. According to the rules, the club will hold an auction. Whoever pays the money will get Alina and enjoy the sweet first night of the girl. ]

[When you heard that Alina would be auctioned off and leave the club, you immediately asked the manager to arrange a meeting between you and Alina. ]

[At first, the club manager refused your request. After all, she is the top star here, and not everyone can meet her. You directly revealed your identity as the gang leader of Dusk Street. You should know that Dusk Street is notorious in the surrounding cities, and the public security is extremely chaotic. Fights between different gangs are commonplace. They have long heard that a weird priest has recaptured all the gangs in Dusk Street by force, but they didn't expect that the real boss would come to their door today. ]

[The club manager didn't hesitate any longer and immediately arranged a room for you and Alina to meet. Her face was delicate and three-dimensional, her nose was high, and her white skin was as smooth as jade. Even in your eyes, she was very beautiful. ]

[Alina was also very surprised when she saw the three of you. She had never seen anyone as beautiful as you. ]

[Abonia has a beautiful face, Padu is sunny and cute, and you look even more beautiful than a girl, especially those eyes that sparkle with purple colors, which have a fatal attraction to her. ]

[You carefully observed Alina with your eyes, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of your mouth. Padu's investigation was indeed correct, because Alina did have extraordinary Honkai energy in her body, but she didn't know how to use this power yet. However, if she awakened one day, it would definitely bring disaster to the world. 】

【Aponia just looked at Alina, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. The complex entanglement of her fate indicated that one day she would become the enemy of mankind and be burned by the blazing flames. 】

【Aponia didn't expect to meet such a girl with a strange fate in such a bitter and cold borderland. She really has an extremely powerful power in her body as Qiao Qiao said. 】

【Alina sat beside you, poured you a glass of champagne and said softly: "Father, is there anything I can do for you?"】

[You nodded and said, "Yes, I want you to leave here with me."]

[After hearing your words, Alina was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a long time, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Father, you are joking. It takes a lot of money to get my words."]

[Faced with Alina's hesitation, your answer is...]

[Option 1: waved your hand disapprovingly and said, "It doesn't matter. My father is the Councillor of the Fire Chaser. He has plenty of money."]

[Option 2: Make a fist with your right hand and say, "I don't have any money on me now, so I'll use this to pay."]

Fuck!

Option 2: Pay with your fist directly. Isn't this freeloading?
