Chapter 54 Dating "Yes... ah, because I teach... paleography at university, and I know a lot of languages, so I can roughly guess the meaning of your dialect based on the rhetoric logic of other languages." Millie Tang breathed a sigh of relief. I thought it was something else. I was scared to death. It turned out to be an accent problem. "Oh, and here's the thing. How many foreign languages do you know?" "Including ancient characters...about twenty." "Ouch!" This time it was Liu Yonglu who was startled. He stared at Millie Tang from head to toe. This guy is a piece of shit. If you bring him to our place, he must be the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Millie Tang felt a little uncomfortable when Liu Yonglu looked at her, and her thoughts were churning wildly. At this moment, she no longer wanted to play a prank, she really wanted to kill Liu Yonglu. "Hey... Hey, Mr. Richie, I'll do some intelligence sorting work here. Just think about your own things and don't worry about me." Liu Yonglu didn't need to think about it. Since there was a clue, he might as well make a breakthrough from it. At night, he and Dora would listen to what happened in the opera house and first try to find Mintz. He must have information about the Sabines Forest.
"Wearing leather pants over cotton pants must be a bad idea!" Liu Yonglu blurted out this sentence out of the blue, trying to test Millie Tang. "Uh...it should be used to describe that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface." Millie Tang rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking what kind of words and sentences are these... "Okay, next one. It's foolish to keep fish without water." This question was quite vulgar and contained some dirty words. Millie Tang's face turned red immediately. I thought to myself, okay, okay, I originally wanted to observe you for two more days after I came back from the station, but if you continue like this, even if I say that Gu Shen is your nephew, even if I say that he is your father, it won’t work. Liu Yonglu didn't take it to heart. As a grown man, he was afraid of nothing. He looked at Millie Tang with a smile, thinking he had stumped her. "This...is used to describe something that is too unbelievable and definitely not true." "When tied up, you feel numb; when hung, you feel numbed" "Uh... it means you are at a loss and will face pain no matter what you do." "Beat the gongs, buy fresh ginger in jars" "This is... I guess, it means that people like to participate in social activities too much." "I'll ask you another question..." Millie Tang was annoyed by sitting there for half an hour. Finally, she had no choice but to pack up and go out. But she didn't really leave. She had been doing some tricks under the table for the past half hour. There is a forbidden spell that she improved upon called Ghost Ear. This spell was improved upon from the Cursed Eye and can allow the target to gain their vision without their knowledge, but it has slightly greater side effects. After the improvement, Millitang can temporarily obtain the target's hearing. The materials required are less than the original spell, and the side effects are much smaller. She will only suffer from intermittent tinnitus in the next few days. While Liu Yonglu was testing her opposite her, she was fiddling with the potion under the table. When she left, she smeared the potion on Liu Yonglu's back, and the job was done.
Liu Yonglu didn’t know this, so he calculated that it was about time and left the cafe. Millie Tang had been hiding outside the coffee shop, and followed Liu Yonglu when she saw him come out. After following for a few streets, she saw Liu Yonglu stopped in front of a restaurant, looking around as if he was waiting for someone. After a while, a steam carriage came and a woman wearing a gray dress and a black hat with a veil came out. The two greeted each other and went in. The two of them went in, and Millie Tang also went in, and found a position far away to start eavesdropping. Liu Yonglu was also very puzzled, because he had clearly called Dora and Chapman. Although he wanted to take the private job, he had to have some dignity and was not willing to use this matter to threaten Dora. But Dora overthought. After the accident on the stage that day, strange things happened to her more frequently. Although she had long since moved away all the reflective furniture in her home, she could still see the faceless man wearing a yellow hood in her dreams. Every time in her dreams, she would open her eyes in front of a peaceful and quiet lake. The moonlight in the sky was bright, but there was no reflection on the lake. Looking down, the dark lake was calm, and slowly she could see the world inside through the lake. It was not underwater plants or reefs, but a castle, a huge abandoned castle made of huge gray rocks. In the darkness, there were always strange and uncomfortable noises coming from the bushes around the lake. Although she didn't see what it was, Dora had a feeling that the thing hidden in it had a pure dislike for her. Just having her back to that bush sent chills down her spine, but she had nowhere else to go. Gradually, the sound behind her became louder. The sound did not come from the ground, but from the top of the branches of the bushes. She did not dare to look back and could only step into the lake step by step. And the next second, she would appear in the ancient castle in the lake without any warning. The castle was lifeless, not to mention people, not even a flower or an insect could be seen. She was terrified and pushed open door after door, but no matter how she hid or ran, when she looked back, the strange man in yellow clothes and a bud crown would always appear behind her. Every time she woke up from a dream, she felt her throat was dry, and when she touched her neck, she could vaguely see several pinch marks left by her fingers. She was so happy when she received a call from Liu Yonglu today, as this was the person who had saved her once before. Liu Yonglu told her on the phone to call Mr. Chapman as well, but when Dora really picked up the phone to call Chapman, her hand that was dialing the roulette wheel stopped halfway. If they brought Chapman along, they would definitely discuss the price of protecting themselves, but she saw Liu Yonglu's obsession with her during the performance that day. What price can be more valuable than yourself? Bringing Chapman along would only make things worse, so Dora made up an excuse and came alone to the appointment. This was her only chance to survive, and she was prepared to risk everything to seize it. But what Dora didn't notice was that when she came out of the apartment, someone quietly followed her! This person was tall and thin, wearing a black hat, and a light green silk scarf in the pocket of his brown windbreaker. The place they had dinner was a restaurant Dora often visited, not far from the Rosemary Theatre, and the owner was a loyal fan of hers. The two of them were sitting in Dora's exclusive seat in the restaurant. The table was close to the window, and when the floor-to-ceiling glass windows were opened, they could directly enjoy the beautiful flowers in the backyard. It was a semi-outdoor seat. At this time, there were flowers on the dining table, candles were lit, there was wine in an ice bucket next to it, and the violinist in the restaurant played soothing and romantic music. Everything was so ambiguous and romantic.
"Sister, I asked you out this time because I wanted to listen to something." Liu Yonglu spoke while playing with the small towel he used to wipe his hands, intending to get to the point first. "Mr. Richie, I've been having a bad few days. In my dreams, that monster has been chasing me. You will help me, right?" Dora was experienced in love, but she didn't care about Liu Yonglu's tricks and put her fair little hand directly on Liu Yonglu's wrist. "I'm sorry..." Liu Yonglu swallowed, feeling uncomfortable all over, and quickly loosened his collar with his other hand to let in some air. "Your situation may be related to the case I'm going to ask about later, so you should answer me properly first. As for me... I definitely can't just watch you get killed by a weirdo." Liu Yonglu thought, if he comes to your dream again in the middle of the night, the worst that can happen is that I will just slap stones next to your pillow every day, and we can go to the island and hide together. If that weirdo comes, I will let the toad eat him. "Let's have a drink first. I'm worried that after I finish talking, I won't be in the mood to enjoy the wine and food." Dora is so smart. She is determined to win Liu Yonglu over today. She starts her gentle offensive while drinking. The two chatted about everything, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Millie Tang, who was on the other side of the restaurant, had a sneer on her face. She was also listening intently and could hear all the sweet words Dora said. Okay, okay, you are indeed a vulgar trash, so I will have fun with you today. Let old Norman know who is the protagonist. It’s Friday, brothers, read some novels and have some fun, and then the weekend will be over. A preview: there will be three updates this Sunday and next Monday, haha.
