Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 19: The Woman Bewitched by the Devil
The knocking on the door continued and was very loud. You could tell from the sound that the person outside was not only anxious but also very strong.

"Fake."

Teddy, who was woken up, rubbed his eyes, glanced towards the door, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Knocking on the door of the museum in the middle of the night, thief?"

"Have you ever seen a thief so polite?"

While he was talking, Rango had already put the silver cross around his neck, covered it with his coat, and then calmly put on his brass knuckles.

He could clearly feel a strong sense of malice outside the door. Although he didn't understand what was going on, it at least proved two points.

First, the enlightenment that Amos had given to his eyes was indeed effective, and within a few minutes the reference object came over on its own.

Second, what’s outside the door is definitely not a good thing!

Hiding his right hand with the Holy Cross brass knuckles behind his waist, he walked to the door, opened the mortise lock, concentrated his mind, and slowly opened the door.

With his fists clenched behind his back ready to strike at any time, he was confident that he could knock the opponent down instantly the moment he opened the door.

However, the scene outside made him stunned for a moment, and it was really difficult to do anything.

Standing outside the door was a woman with a proud figure and an extremely delicate face.

She was wearing a blue high-necked dress, her hair was a little messy, and although her face looked haggard, it couldn't hide her outstanding facial features.

The woman's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were empty and lifeless. When she looked at Rango, her voice was weak and urgent: "I need to find a book."

There are many books containing historical and ancient texts in the museum that are available for visitors to read and consult. Of course, everything must be within the sight of the staff.

Rango quickly examined her and did not refuse immediately. Instead, he quietly took off his brass knuckles, put on a gentle smile, extended his hand, and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm the night security guard here, Rango."

The woman seemed a little uncomfortable with Rango's enthusiasm. She stared at the right hand stretched out to her. She was stunned for a moment before shaking it. Then she whispered, "Manina, Anna Manina."

(From the movie "Possessed", played by Isabelle Adjani)
"Oh~ Miss Anna, your last name sounds like you are European."

Rango dealt with the woman casually. He felt a little strange because when he just shook hands, the system did not respond at all.

This shows that this woman is just an ordinary person, but why did I feel a strong sense of malice just now?

After looking around the museum, he smiled and said, "You are making it difficult for me, Miss Anna. The museum has strict regulations and is not open to tourists after closing time."

“I just want to find a book!”

Anna's voice was anxious, even pleading, "I'll leave as soon as I find it, please!"

As she spoke, the woman actually fell directly into Rango's arms, blinking her brown eyes and looking at him pitifully.

Rango hugged her subconsciously, but he didn't have any ambiguous thoughts in his mind. Although this woman looked very much to his liking, he didn't dare to act rashly before he understood the situation clearly.

“Don’t worry,” Rango stroked her hair gently and asked about the title of the book, trying to ease her anxiety.

"It's called."

However, just as she was about to say the title of the book, the woman named Anna suddenly looked cold, and suddenly broke away from Rango's arms, then shook her head and said, "No need, I'll come back in a few days."

After saying that, the woman turned around and ran away so fast, as if she was worried that Rango would catch up with her and do something bad to her.

The rapid change in attitude is really confusing.

Looking at Anna's back as she walked away quickly, Rango stroked his chin and stared for a long time.

He was very sure that this woman was absolutely normal. In all those years in Africa, his system had never made a mistake once.

This was also the reason why he did not try to stop her and let her go.

But the weird thing is that it's clear that her mental state is problematic.

Apart from anything else, this is New York, where there are countless gang members and street thugs. It is very abnormal for such a beautiful woman to dare to walk on the streets late at night.

Not to mention her weird attitude. But she was really pretty, and only his first love when he was in school could compare to her.

With a light chuckle, Rango ignored the woman and went back into the museum, closing the door again.

He had a feeling that this would not be the last time he saw this woman named Anna.

early morning.

As soon as it got light, the door was opened again.

The curator, dressed in a suit and tie, was the first person to enter the museum as usual.

Rango has always been puzzled. As a well-known upper-class figure in New York, the director of their museum is a little too dedicated.

If I were him, I would probably still be sleeping with several models at this moment. I definitely cannot be as self-disciplined as him.

"Rango!"

Before anyone came close, a familiar roar sounded.

The curator slammed the service desk and shouted in dissatisfaction: "I don't remember that I paid you to sleep with me!"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Rango yawned and explained, "Don't worry, Director. Teddy and Megan are inspecting the exhibition halls. I just took a nap during the shift change."

As soon as he finished speaking, Teddy walked out of the elevator holding a time clock and a flashlight, and next to him was the taciturn Megan. At this time, she had thick bangs on her forehead and a pair of sunglasses on her face. As long as she didn't speak, no one could tell that she was a robot.

"them?"

The curator was so dissatisfied when he saw this that he said, "Do you know what you are doing, Rango? If others see us, they will think we are employing child labor! Do you know how much the fine is?"

"Don't worry," Rango waved his hand and said, "Except for you, the director, I don't believe that there will be any guests visiting the museum at six in the morning."

Seeing the boy's nonchalant look, the curator shook his head helplessly, and then noticed Megan who had been looking down. His expression softened a bit, and he took out ten dollars from his wallet and handed it to her:

"Good boy, this is a reward for your hard work."

After patting Megan's head gently, he prepared to go upstairs.

At this moment, Rango suddenly strode in front of him and looked at him with a smile.

After seeing this scene, the curator suddenly thought of some unpleasant memories and immediately shouted angrily: "Did you break the exhibits again?"

"Ah? No, no!"

Rango immediately shook his head, and then he smiled and said, "Actually, there is something I need your help with."

Then he told Emma's story from beginning to end, emphasizing how pitiful she was. First, her mother died in childbirth, and then her father committed suicide, leaving her as the only relative left alive.

"As her uncle, I really can't stand Emma staying in an orphanage."

Rango looked at him sincerely, "If you guarantee it, I believe the orphanage will agree to release the person, so."

Upon hearing this, the curator frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on Rango for a moment, and he asked earnestly: "You have to support yourself and Teddy, and take care of Megan, and now there is a niece. Are you sure you can take on this responsibility and give them a stable life?"

Rango was stunned when he heard this, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes! Director, you don't know that I have actually made money over the years."

"Ugh."

Just when he wanted to tell the curator that he was actually a wealthy man, the curator sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'll make this guarantee, and starting next week, your hourly wage will increase by $5."

After saying this, without giving Rango a chance to explain, he walked quickly into the elevator with his cane, leaving only an elegant back view for everyone.
