At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open. The two sisters reacted quickly and immediately took Ies to the room on the first floor.
Such behavior is obviously a bit too exaggerated. If it is just an ordinary guest, there is no need to do so.
Because that would only arouse suspicion, after all, they would have to apply for citizenship certificates for the two sisters soon.
Forget it, ordinary people can’t detect that speed.
After the door was pushed open, a Rat Xi woman walked in with a smile on her beautiful face and her nimble tail wrapped around her left thigh.
"Excuse me, are you the owners of this video store? I'd like to rent a movie."
Hmm? Something seemed to flash into that room just now. Was it an illusion?
Because of her obstructed vision, Jane was unable to see the situation inside the store at first, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Zhe.
Well, a very cute little boy...wait, that's a little strange, what is this feeling?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she still had that gentle and charming smile on her face.
"Hey, are there any guests at this time?"
Ling blurted out subconsciously, and Jane couldn't help but feel conflicted when she heard this.
"I'm sorry. I understand how it feels to have to work overtime when work is almost over. I'll buy a membership to make amends."
The inner world was in such stark contrast to his outer appearance that Zhe, who was standing by, was slightly stunned.
Current favorability target:
Name: Jane Doe
Gender: Female
Charm value: 97
Features: Rat (succubus?) Greek, with a long, thin and flexible tail.
Hobby:
Current status: Normal
Current favorability towards the owner: 10
Evaluation: A girl who looks strong on the outside but is actually quite weak on the inside. She is kind-hearted and extremely strong.
Inner Thoughts: Oops, I think I forgot the name of the movie.
And Jane continued to speak at this time.
"I'm so sorry, little sister, I'm keeping you from closing. I wanted to rent a thriller about mountains."
"Hmm... it's a little hard to find just based on this keyword."
Zhe thought about it carefully. Although he ran a video store, he didn't usually watch horror movies. Besides, there were quite a few horror movies involving this keyword.
"It's all my fault for not paying attention. I didn't remember the specific name. Is it really that hard to think of?"
Jian sighed slightly. Although not being able to bring back the film was a small matter, it might affect his prestige among the gang members.
"It's not that difficult. Excuse me, is your friend brave enough?"
Seeing that Jane looked troubled, Zhe took the initiative to ask, trying to help her find the video she wanted. After hearing that, the latter immediately analyzed it.
"Well, he pretends to be very brave, but when asked to do something, he doesn't dare to do it. And he is good at making excuses."
"Sounds like an entry-level thriller enthusiast... huh? Isn't that about the same level as you, brother?"
Ling suddenly said this with a smile on her face, and looked at Zhe beside her with a smirk.
"Brother, what are some of the recent horror movies you're brave enough to watch?"
"Please don't compare me to this, but if you're saying that... 'Silent Valley,' 'The Big Hollow,' and 'Porter's Hill,' those are the three."
Zhe wasn't afraid to admit it. It was just a horror movie after all. Compared to this, Ling seemed a little too excited today...
Chapter 168 Jane: It’s my favorite~
"Ah~ I've heard of the name 'Silent Valley', but I don't remember it being the destination my friend mentioned."
Jian thought about it and told what he knew, and Ling noticed her brother's gaze at this time, and her body trembled slightly.
But according to professional ethics, she answered Jane's question first.
"In that case, the film your friend wants should be 'Porter's Mountain'."
Ling also described some plots in the movie, which made Zhe beside her look embarrassed, while Jian couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.
I just think Zhe's performance is unexpectedly cute. I thought he was the brother in a dominant position, but I didn't expect that he would be controlled by his own sister, and he seems to be very averse to horror movies.
Although she was somewhat interested in Zhe, Jane did not forget the main purpose of her trip.
"Well, after listening to your description, I'm pretty sure this is the Porter Mountain. Thank you very much, two young store managers, you've helped me a lot, I won't forget you!"
As she spoke, she took out Dinny to pay the bill and took away the videotape that Ling had taken out.
"Wait, this guest..."
"No need for change! Use the extra money to treat my little sister to her favorite dessert! It's my treat~ Bye, my lovely little brother~"
After saying this, Jian turned and left. Zhe, who was inexplicably teased, felt a little confused, while Ling, who was standing beside him, sighed.
"Wow~ This Shu Xiren, the little sister is so cool, I like her. What about you, brother? You even wanted to call her just now."
"No, I mean, she forgot to leave her name in the account book..."
Zhe was a little speechless. To be honest, he also liked this kind of beautiful young lady with a bold personality, but there was a big gap between the inner and outer appearance of this young lady.
"Eh? If the master is interested in that woman, he'd better be careful. My sister and I can sense that she has an extraordinary aura."
At this time, Odette and her sister walked out of the room. The reason why she was able to perceive all this was because of her instinctive perception as the Overlord of Skeletons.
Huh? You said you weren't asking about that, but about the title? Uh, the reason Zhe is called "master" is because of the story about the two sisters accidentally looking up the wrong information online...
Zhe still enjoys this title, especially in certain special circumstances. Of course, he doesn't need to use it in front of outsiders, so as not to attract strange looks from others.
"Ahem, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's time for us to set off."
Zhe said this and took the two sisters and Ies and drove away from the video store.
Jane, who had not walked far away, could not help but pause and think for a moment when she noticed the car driving out from behind the video store.
Could it be that the store manager really listened to me and went to buy dessert for his sister at this time?
Not long after, near the hollow of the Balai Building, after parking a little way off, the three of them walked in. As soon as they stepped into the hollow...
"Huh~Hmm~Ah~"
"Odette, don't make such strange noises."
Odilea, the elder sister, spoke up to remind her younger sister, not because of Zhe, after all, the latter had heard this voice many times.
But if Odette continued to scream like that, she might not be able to help but join in.
"Sorry, I feel a little better after returning to my original hollow after such a long time."
Odette scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and stopped making strange noises.
At this time, the hole in the Ballet Building seemed to gain strength in an instant because of the sisters' return, and the range of the hole instantly expanded back to its previous size.
Such a sudden change inevitably attracted the attention of some people, such as the members of the Mountain Lion Gang who were in the Bali Building at the time.
But their panic was unknown to the three people. After all, the purpose of Zhe and the sisters' trip was just to find lost items.
"Eh? Master, it seems some strange people have entered the building."
Odette seemed to have sensed something and pointed to a location in the building, which was the base of the Mountain Lion Gang.
Her already keen hearing was brought to its peak in the cave, so she could easily sense the movements in the distance.
"Yeah, and there are quite a few of them."
Odilea also made some additions at this time, but Zhe did not pay much attention to it, thinking that they were just a group of ordinary cave thieves.
In this situation, if there is no conflict or anything that harms others, Zhe will not care.
"It's okay, don't worry about them, go find your things first."
"Oh well."
Odette nodded obediently. Since Zhe said so, she would not pay too much attention to it.
In fact, she heard a little more than her sister, such as the words "sheriff" and "let us go!" that appeared in the quarrel.
There are some other things that I don't quite understand, but the overall meaning seems to be advising someone to rediscover their kindness and then help them out of trouble.
The three of them sneaked into the building. Because of the two sisters, no one dared to get close to them.
Then, following the sisters' vague memories, they began to look for the amulet. At this time, the building had changed drastically due to the erosion of ether.
So it was a bit difficult to find the lounge at that time based on memory, so in order to speed up, Pepe and Mumu were also called out.
After all, they were all corpses, so it was definitely more convenient to find things here than in person. But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.
The two sisters even suspected that after they turned into Yi Hai, they took the amulet away with their obsession, but they didn't know where they took it.
Finally, as the night was almost over, the three of them had to return home in defeat. When they got home, Ling had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
Seeing this, Zhe did not disturb her. After helping her take off her coat, he put it on the bed and went to the next room with the two sisters.
At the same time, in a hotel room in the city, Jane, who had finished washing and lying on the bed, was looking at the list on her mobile phone.
The above are the things that need to be purchased for this trip. The supplies have been handed over to the contact person, and she also got the master key from the Public Security Bureau.
As for that film...
Jane couldn't help but think of the cute little boy who helped her find the video. He was her favorite dish.
Unfortunately, the two are not of the same kind. The other runs a legitimate shop, while he works undercover in the Sheriff's Bureau, infiltrating other dangerous organizations to obtain intelligence.
Besides, I don’t have time to talk about love now.
Chapter 169: Zhe nodded with his hand to help Ling (How should I nod?)
Because he returned empty-handed last night, Zhe could only plan to go again tonight, but before that he needed to buy some vegetables.
There was no other way. Originally, there were only him and Ling at home, and the others only came to eat occasionally, but now they are permanent residents, so the amount of food they eat has increased to two people.
Although the sisters, as Yi Hai, do not need to eat and only need to replenish ether energy occasionally, why not eat it if it is edible and delicious?
So Zhe came to the 141 Grocery Store, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Hey, isn't this the store manager? You're here to buy something too."
Hearing the very distinctive voice, Zhe immediately thought of the lady who came to borrow the videotape last night. Turning around, he saw that it was indeed her.
"You are the guest from last night."
"Well, to be precise, it was the customer who came to borrow the videotape last night."
Jane added with a smile, and the tail that was originally wrapped around her thigh loosened at this time and swayed behind her.
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
"It's okay. I feel very honored to be remembered by you, the store manager. My name is Jane. What's yours, little brother?"
"My name is Zhe. Miss Jian, you left in such a hurry last night that you didn't even leave any contact information. Could you please add me and knock on my door if possible?"
(The communication software in the Zero Zone seems to be called this.)
Zhe's words made Jian stunned for a moment, but then a playful smile appeared on his face, and he spoke in a deliberately joking tone.
"Oh, so you want to get my sister's contact information? You can just tell me directly, after all, Brother Zhe is my type."
Jian took out her cell phone with a smile on her face, and Zhe wanted to open his mouth to defend himself when he heard it, but on second thought, the words he said became...
"Is that so? Actually, I also like charming girls like Miss Jane."
Jane obviously didn't expect Zhe to say that, but she didn't panic. Instead, she avoided the topic of teasing him without changing her expression.
After the two of them added each other's contact information, she didn't stay long. After all, the procurement of supplies for this trip had not been completed yet, and for now it could only be considered a small pleasure to relieve stress.
But Zhe looked at the other person's receding back and couldn't help but feel a little curious. What kind of environment could give birth to someone like her, whose inner self and behavior were so different?
But I'm just curious. If there is nothing too much involved, I'd better not interfere.
