Chapter 765: Capturing the Prisoner
In order to successfully fish out the real culprit who framed them, Xiaolin and the others have been ambushing Wiz's magic item shop.
But it's been several days and still no one has come.
Not to mention the suspicious hooded man in black, even the people he knew rarely came to this store.
I can't help but wonder, has the matter of the lost formula really been properly spread?
Could it be that it didn't spread to the public, and then I waited stupidly for several days?
No no no.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
I specifically told Dust, Keith, and Lynn about this.
Even if the first two guys are unreliable, Lynn can definitely help get things done.
That's right, no problem.
"well----"
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, looked at the lich proprietress at the counter, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, Wiz. It's like this every night, asking you to ambush here with us."
After all, the borrowed venue was Wiz's magic item shop.
Referring to what happened before, suspicious figures in black robes came here every time to deliver formulas, so Xiao Lin and the others decided to wait here and wait for the guy to fall into the trap.
But I don't know if he knew very well that Xiao Lin and others were secretly waiting for him to show up. He hadn't shown up in the past few days, making them wait in vain.
"No, it's okay."
The weak Lich Girl shook her head, with a comforting smile on her face, and said: "In other words, I am very happy to be able to help everyone. So you are welcome, and use this place to your heart's content."
Maybe Wiz is a lich, a nocturnal creature like the undead.
Her complexion looked much better than during the day, and she didn't look weak or pale at all.
"By the way, how is Barnier?"
Darkness looked at the room, but there was no sign of the big demon in the apron. He asked curiously: "When I came here a few days ago, I didn't see him. Did he go out for something?"
"Yes! He is running around in order to purchase magic props."
Wiz said this with a cheerful expression at first, but soon he said a little disappointed: "I think it is very hard for him to do it alone, but he refused to let me help. I really feel bad about it."
"Y-yeah...if you help, no one will be watching the store."
Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, there was no telling what would happen if Wiz was asked to help, so it was better not to take her with him.
Barnier must have thought so.
At this time, Aqua shouted to Xiaolin: "I said, Xiaolin, Megumin is already asleep."
"Hiss-hoo-hoo-hoo-"
He saw Megumin leaning on Aqua, dozing off with her eyes closed, her expression becoming peaceful and gentle.
"A child can't stay up late, let her sleep."
After all, the little Loli is only fourteen years old, and it is really difficult for her to stay up late. Besides, only good sleep can make you healthy, so I won't wake her up. This is Xiaolin's tenderness.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very sleepy...ha——"
Aqua clapped her mouth.
She had also stayed up late for several days in a row. In order to find the prisoner, the stupid goddess did not complain about being tired. Such dedication made Xiao Lin feel a little guilty. So after thinking about it, just when she was about to let her rest, Huihui suddenly started talking in her sleep.
"Woo... I found you, prisoner... Come on, let me punish you with explosive magic!"
"Oh my, this is what I've been dreaming about. I'm really motivated."
Darkness looked at the little Loli's sleeping face and couldn't help but laugh. She seemed to like innocent children like Megumin very much.
"Darker than black, pitch black darker than darkness..."
"Stop, stop!" Xiao Lin was so scared that Aqua covered the little Loli's mouth and shouted: "Don't talk in such dangerous sleep!"
"Wha, what!?" Huihui, who was awakened, opened her sleepy eyes. She looked around in excitement and said strangely: "What's wrong, have you caught the prisoner?"
"Not yet. Not to mention the prisoner, I haven't even seen his shadow."
Xiao Lin scratched his head.
Seeing the sleepy little Lolita, although she felt a little sorry, she still said: "I know you are tired, but don't fall asleep when you are on alert. Get up quickly, because it is dangerous in every sense."
"Ah! I-did I fall asleep? I'm sorry."
"ha……"
There is an unspeakable feeling of guilt.
Although he really wanted little Loli to have a good rest like this, the spell in her sleep made Xiao Lin feel bad, so it was better to ask her not to sleep again.
"Um, Mr. Xiaolin?"
At this time, Wiz suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong, Wiz?"
"Um...Aqua-sama has become desireless because of the curse, right?"
"Aqua just said so herself."
Xiaolin sighed.
Xiao Lin still doesn't know whether that guy is cursed, but there is a high probability that the guy is not cursed. After all, even if the stupid goddess said that, she always makes weird actions at inexplicable times. Unlike Megumin and Darkness, it can be seen at a glance that it is not like that.
However, Wiz was a little happy. She clapped her hands and cheered: "In other words, I don't have to worry about being purified during this period, right?"
Poor Lich Girl.
Because of the existence of the stupid goddess, she was thrown into a safety crisis for no reason. Do you think that Aqua's life will be no longer in danger if she becomes wantless?
"Unfortunately, don't expect too much from this. Purification is Aqua's habit."
"Wait a minute, can you stop treating people like animals!?"
The stupid goddess yelled angrily.
"Ah, sorry!"
"That's it, Mad Dog Goddess."
Xiaolin stood in front of Wiz and held down the grinning idiot goddess, but after she rampaged for a while, he put away his strength.
"Stop being like this." She sighed deeply and said, "I'm already very tired. I need to save some energy to catch the criminal."
"How strange, I think the same thing as you."
Xiao Lin also let go of the head of the stupid goddess.
"Well, I have a request." Wiz raised his hand timidly and whispered: "If the things in the store are damaged, I will be very troubled, so please arrest the criminal outside the store, please. "
The items in the magic item shop were Wiz's lifeblood. If they were destroyed, she would definitely cry without tears and want to die.
"What are you talking about, this lich?" Aqua rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Do you think I will use violence to catch criminals? I won't use violence, and there is no need to use violence. I can use it. The most sincere words to persuade the prisoner and make him surrender in tears. "
"The fact that she cried bitterly is very suspicious."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.
The stupid goddess seems to be planning to use her fraternity or tolerance to convince the enemy. In short, she is planning to use words instead of using swords and guns to solve this incident.
"That might not be bad." Darkness nodded and agreed, "If we forgive the prisoner, maybe Aqua's curse will be lifted."
"By the way, there's also lifting the curse! I forgot about it!"
"Don't forget such an important thing."
Megumin complained to the stupid goddess who suddenly remembered.
By the way, is this guy really cursed? Is he lying to himself?
"Well, Aqua." Xiaolin took out a piece of clothing and handed it to the stupid goddess while saying, "Just in case, put on this dress."
"Ah? What a beautiful dress!"
The moment the idiot goddess saw the dress, her eyes flashed brightly, because the dress was really beautiful, just like a dress. Unfortunately, Aqua was more satisfied with bubble wine than gorgeous clothes. Therefore, the stupid goddess asked curiously:
"But why should I change my clothes?"
"To remove the curse, you need to satisfy your body, mind, and desires at the same time, right? You don't want to say that you have forgotten about this, right?"
"How rude, of course I remember!"
Aqua puffed out her mouth angrily.
Megumin and Darkness both lifted the curse after putting on suitable clothes and satisfying their physical and inner desires.
"But that's not what I meant-"
Aqua suddenly puffed up her chest and said proudly: "What I'm wearing now is the formal dress of the goddess! It's the dress that symbolizes the incorruptibility and purity of the goddess of water. Why do I need to change my clothes?"
"This is a piece of clothing that symbolizes laziness."
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes angrily.
He was not wrong, because this guy has been wearing this dress and lazing around at home since the lower world, and the sight of it makes people feel angry. And what Kobayashi said naturally made Aqua feel unhappy.
"You, I really have to punish you."
"Come if you can, Goddess of Sloth!"
"You said it, you're squatting at home!"
Aqua raised her hands in displeasure, while Xiaolin grinned with success.
Okay, I've been provoked.
I'm going to let you change into clothes!
Xiao Lin looked at her and said deliberately: "But, as a goddess, she should be able to wear whatever clothes she wants, right?"
"Indeed." The idiot goddess nodded with deep approval.
OK, taken the bait!
"Ah——, I want to see it——" Xiao Lin kept shaking the clothes in his hands and pretended to sigh: "Aqua will definitely look radiant when she puts on this dress. Ah ah, I really want to Take a look!"
"Refreshing!?"
Aqua opened her eyes wide.
Just shy of the finishing touch, Xiao Lin continued to say forcefully: "It must be a light that cannot be looked directly at. I may lower my head unconsciously and pray to you seriously."
"Xiao Lin, pray to me..."
This sentence made Aqua feel relaxed and happy. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Xiaolin has never prayed to her after such a long time.
Although he has always claimed to be a follower of the Axis Cult, there is no convincing if he does not pray to himself.
"Forget it. If you don't want to wear it, Aqua, I won't force you to wear it. I have no choice but to get rid of this dress."
After saying that, Xiaolin was observing Aqua's reaction.
Sure enough, the stupid goddess was fooled.
"Wait, wait a minute! C-cough... I mean, Xiaolin? It would be too wasteful to throw it away. I can barely wear it through."
"Really? Then, it's time to happily change clothes!"
"Eh!?"
Only then did the idiot goddess suddenly realize that she had been tricked into this matter.
Of course, they would not change clothes in person. Wiz asked Aqua to go to the back room of the magic item shop to change, but when Aqua walked in, she had not shown up for a long time.
"Wow——"
"What are you doing, Megumin, looking at me like this?"
"Ask your own heart. Aqua, she never came out of the store."
Huihui looked at him with evil eyes, as if she was a ghost.
Darkness couldn't help but chuckle, "Hufufu—Xiao Lin, you are indeed a ghost..."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would probably have rushed in and put on the dress herself.
Seeing that Aqua didn't come out for a long time, Wiz shouted worriedly: "Um...Aqua-sama, are you okay!?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Unexpectedly, the cries of the stupid goddess could be heard in the room, and even more outrageous words could be heard from the other side of the room.
"I, I was tainted... defiled by the old people who squatted and gnawed at home... wuwuwu——"
"Hey! You guy, don't say such words that may cause misunderstanding!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help shouting at the door.
That dress was not an excessive dress, it was just an ordinary dress. That guy must be taking revenge on himself.
"Xiao Lin, be quiet!" Darkness held down Xiao Lin's shoulders, while looking sharply out the window of the magic item shop, and whispered: "There is movement outside the door!"
"Coming!"
"Are you here?"
"Coming!"
"Let's see if I don't catch you——"
Xiao Lin shouted as he rushed toward the mysterious man in black robes.
————
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Sorry, Wiz, just on a whim..."
Xiao Lin scratched his head in embarrassment at the weak Lich Girl who couldn't help crying. But this is the damage they caused, and they can't ignore it, so they can only say: "The damaged goods will be charged to my account, and the store will be cleaned later. If there is anything else you want me to do, you can tell me ”
"No, you don't have to go to that point. Mr. Xiaolin, you didn't do it on purpose."
"It's okay, it's okay. If I can cure Wiz, I will do anything."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Wiz seemed a little uncomfortable with it, and looked at Xiaolin with an inexplicable look in his eyes. Why? Such a look.
other side.
Megumin leaned close to Darkness and whispered: "Don't you think Xiaolin is a little strange?"
"Really?" Darkness looked at Xiao Lin and didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. Instead, he asked, "Compared to this, Xiao Lin, can you restrain him? It's not about restraining me, it's about restraining the prisoner."
"Know!—Bound!"
Xiaolin wiped his forehead after using the binding skill on the person who was pinned down.
