Chapter 274 Strange Sounds
in the afternoon,
Violet led the Kikyo Judgment Team to the White Cloud Warehouse, where they were greeted by a middle-aged man dressed as a security guard.
He looked at Xia Qing, the tallest person beside him, and said, "Welcome, Your Excellency Arbiter, you've come all this way. You must be tired."
The security guard in front of them looked to be in his forties or fifties. He used the official term for Violet. His eyes, full of vicissitudes, held a hint of curiosity, but he didn't dare to look directly at her, only glancing at her from time to time.
He had seen magical girls online, but this was the first time he had seen one in real life.
He looked a little reserved.
"Forehead"
Xia Qing scratched his head and took a step back, highlighting the little girl-like Violet beside him.
"Uncle, this is our captain. You can give her any information you need."
"Ah, well, I'm so sorry, they say drinking leads to trouble. I had a few drinks at noon today and mistook you for someone else." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands awkwardly and said apologetically.
"It's alright, you can just call me Violet. They are Red Rose, Winter Plum, Green Ivy, and Green Tangerine."
"These names are lovely, and the people are beautiful too..."
The middle-aged man looked at the magical girl in front of him, who was about the same age as his own daughter, and his words of praise never stopped.
"Okay, may I ask what the current situation is at the Baiyun Warehouse?"
Violet interrupted the middle-aged man's praise and got straight to business.
Seeing that Violet had brought up the important matter, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain in detail:
"After receiving Lao Wang's message, our warehouse night shift staff increased from one to three. Although the number of staff increased, their courage actually shrank. These past few nights, they've all been hiding in the security room, terrified, constantly saying, 'Why risk your life for three thousand yuan!'"
In the past, they wouldn't have bothered with it; there wasn't anything particularly valuable in the warehouse. But these past few days, I've been specifically instructed by my superiors that a batch of very valuable goods is being transported to this warehouse, and there can't be any mistakes. However, those little rabbits absolutely refuse to do their routine inspections. Oh dear, if someone really steals it, I don't know how I'm going to explain it to my superiors.
Violet interrupted the middle-aged man's incessant chatter and began asking about the Abyss Beast:
"Putting all that aside, since the mysterious shadowy figure appeared last time, have there been any recent sightings of them?"
"Everything was normal when the baby was 100 days old, but every night, the cameras in the monitoring room would inexplicably break down, showing only distorted images..."
"Okay, I understand. We're planning to come over tonight. Could you give me the contact information for the person on night shift tonight?" Violet glanced at the sky after hearing what the middle-aged man said. She still needed to find a room for her magical girl junior.
otherwise,
They'll probably have to sleep on the streets tonight.
"Okay, okay, Xiang Wu, 165XXXXXXXXX, this is my name and contact information. I'm on night shift tonight, just contact me then." As he said this, the middle-aged man's eyes seemed to be filled with helplessness.
Just like those young people said, what's the point of risking your life for a salary of a few thousand yuan?
He didn't want to risk his life.
But for a middle-aged man like him, if he loses this job, it will be difficult to find a similar job in the future.
"Okay, I've got it. See you tonight."
Violet put her phone away and led her magical girl juniors away from the White Cloud Warehouse to the High-Tech Street next door.
We arrived in Ninomiya City around 1 p.m. and wandered around the city for a while. Now, after leaving the Shirakumo Warehouse, it was already around 5 or 6 p.m., and evening was approaching.
on the street,
The Kikyo Judgment Team clearly noticed that the nights here were very different from those in Yeqiu City.
In the evenings of Yeqiu City,
Although there is still some night market economy with many shops open, not many people are willing to come out. However, in Ninomiya City, it is the opposite. Very few people are willing to operate, but many people are out and about.
These people walked the streets, not to buy anything, nor to take a stroll; their eerie eyes wandered around.
Violet and her group seemed to be the targets of these vagrants, and the number of people spying on them was gradually increasing as darkness fell.
This feeling was very unpleasant; Xia Qing and the others felt that the citizens of Ninomiya City were giving them goosebumps.
"Sister Violet, we just saw so many hotels, why didn't we go in?"
Violet remained silent until they arrived at the White Cloud Hotel a few minutes later. Only then did she slowly explain, "If you want others to admire your sleeping posture and bathing, you can certainly go in."
"Woolen cloth"
"Understood."
For some reason, when the Kikyo Judgment Team learned the truth from Violet, they were no longer shocked or angry as before; instead, they felt only deep disgust and indifference.
For them,
The fact that Ninomiya City, a city in China, could even exist is truly a miracle; it's even more astonishing that magical girls could be created here for quite some time.
After Senior Violet paid the bill, received the three room keys, and started to take the elevator, Xia Qing slowly and curiously asked:
"Senior Violet, why is it possible to stay at the White Cloud Hotel? Is there some kind of explanation?"
"There's no particular reason. It's mainly because I have coupons, and Baiyun Group is, after all, a local company in Yeqiu City. They should be a bit more reliable than companies in Ergong City."
"what?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? We've only been in Ninomiya City for a day or two, so it's okay if we don't shower. If you really want to shower, have Han Xue put up a magic shield around you while you shower inside," Violet said expressionlessly.
Are there hidden cameras in the rooms of Baiyun Hotel?
Have.
But would it be used to monitor magical girls taking baths?
That's highly unlikely.
Just like a normal human being wouldn't want to watch goblins take a bath.
of course,
She would absolutely not take a bath here.
Go up to the third floor,
Violet handed the two room keys to Bai Youqing and Xia Qing respectively. Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu shared a bedroom, while Xia Qing and Han Xue shared a bedroom.
She has a bedroom all to herself.
Just as Bai Youqing, Xia Qing, and the others received the room keys and were about to leave,
Violet thought for a moment and then added, "If you go to other cities on missions alone in the future, you can stay in any hotel, but you absolutely cannot stay at the Baiyun Hotel, understand?"
"Oh, why?"
Faced with Violet's inexplicable words, Kikyo's Judgment Team was momentarily confused.
"Because it's very expensive."
After Violet finished speaking, she closed her bedroom door.
"expensive?"
Xia Qing frowned slightly.
As the eldest daughter of the Xia family, she had never even known the meaning of the word "expensive," so she opened her phone and started searching for the price of the Baiyun Hotel.
You wouldn't believe it until you searched it up!
In general, the price of a standard deluxe room in a five-star hotel in a first-tier city is between 1000 and 5000 yuan, while the price of a suite may be over 10,000 yuan. In a second-tier city, it is about 0.8 times that of a first-tier city. When Xia Qing went on a business trip with her father, she stayed in various luxury hotels.
But now, when I open the price list of Baiyun Hotel, my goodness, even the simplest standard deluxe room costs 1 yuan, not to mention the other top luxury suites. You have to know that Ninomiya City is not a first-tier city like Yeqiu City. It is in the range of second-tier to third-tier cities.
That is,
Tonight alone, Senior Violet spent 3.
Kikyo's Judgment Team: Face to Face
Suddenly, I felt that I was not worthy of this room with my current net worth. What did they do to deserve a room that cost 10,000 yuan a night?
But as the saying goes,
There's a reason why things are expensive. Soon after the Kikyo Judgment Team went into their room, someone knocked on the door.
"Distinguished guests, your dinner is ready. This is a dinner that Miss Violet specially instructed us to prepare for you. An hour after you finish your meal, a female server will come up to prepare a massage for you. If you need anything at that time, you can contact us through the phone by the bed."
Violet pushed open the door.
Then he saw Xia Qing and Bai Youqing open their doors as well, looking at him with puzzled expressions.
"Eat up, the food is fine. As for the foot massage at the hotel, you can choose for yourself. These costs are already included in the accommodation and will not be charged separately."
After finishing her sentence, Violet didn't rush inside. Instead, she opened the food containers for the magical girl juniors, glanced at them, and then took her own portion from the restaurant cart before returning to her room.
Open it,
It's the same old dishes: beer-braised duck, stir-fried green peppers with pork, stir-fried oyster mushrooms with pork, and finally, enoki mushroom and egg soup. These are Iris Sister's favorite dishes to cook.
She knew it.
As soon as I leave Yeqiu City, Sister Iris will definitely follow me.
Not long after finishing the meal,
Violet then heard Bai Youqing knocking on the door: "Sister Violet, would you like to come with us for a massage?"
"No need, you guys go ahead. I still need to compile some data, so I don't have time right now. But don't get too carried away with your fun, we still have a mission to carry out later." Violet looked at the slender figure that had appeared on the white bed at some point, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Oh well."
Bai Youqing's voice sounded a little disappointed.
As the footsteps of Kikyo's Judgment Squad faded away, the alluring voice of the Demon Princess Iris slowly echoed behind her: "Little Butterfly,"
Has my sister's cooking improved?
"It's alright, except for the fact that I put too much salt in it, everything else is fine."
Violet picked up a water bottle from the wooden table next to her and took a sip. There were several empty bottles like this on the table.
"Just say it tastes bad, why beat around the bush? Ultimately, it's because Xiaodie hasn't taught me how to cook in a long time."
"My skills have become rusty, it's all Xiaodie's fault." Iris pouted, looking annoyed.
"Tsk."
Violet clicked her tongue. This stinky older sister always manages to come up with some inexplicable reasons.
"Besides, why are you standing so far away from me? I'm not going to eat you."
Seeing Violet leaning against the wooden table, Oriole stood up, went straight to Violet's side, and picked her up in her arms.
That delicate and charming face pressed against Violet's face.
"Xiaodie's skin is so soft and supple. I bet you've been showered with water by that Hoshino Seri quite a few times lately. I haven't seen you approach your older sister at all."
The resentment in those words sent a shiver down Violet's spine, and she instinctively wanted to struggle.
"Um, Iris-nee, how about tomorrow? I have a mission to carry out later."
"Then tell me, which is more important, the mission or your sister?"
Looking into Iris's green eyes, which exuded a melancholy aura, Violet swallowed hard. "Of course, my sister is more important!"
If she dared to say the mission was important,
She was absolutely certain that the four magical girls who were comfortably enjoying Chesia's massage would suddenly find themselves with their throats inexplicably slit.
"That's more like it! This time, your sister specially prepared four [Asura] Abyss Stones for you!"
"Thank you, Iris Sister."
"Ha, thank you is the cheapest thing in the world~"
Hearing Violet say that,
The Demon Princess Iris hugged her even tighter. A faint scent of roses emanated from her body, and her snow-white skin was delicate and supple.
The faint scent of fragrance stirs my heart and sets my mind at ease.
Just as Iris was about to carry Violet to bed, Violet's phone suddenly rang.
Violet took out her phone.
She glanced at it and saw it was a WeChat call from Kikyo, the magician. She instinctively hung up immediately.
Demon Princess Iris was also taken aback for a moment.
However, he didn't say anything, but his movements became even more violent.
however,
Kikyo, the magician, didn't seem to intend to let it go so easily; she insisted on making a second call.
And this time,
Just as Violet was about to hang up, Iris the Demoness stopped her.
"If someone calls twice, it might be something important. Don't worry, I will absolutely not lay a hand on you while you're on the phone."
The Demon Princess Iris gently raised four fingers and solemnly addressed the heavens,
Violet gave the other person a deep look before answering Kikyo's WeChat call.
"Kikyo the Magician, what's the matter?"
"Well, I noticed that Miss Violet seems to have accepted a trial mission for Ninomiya City, and I'm a little worried, so I'm calling to inquire. If it's convenient, could you tell me about the current progress of your trial mission?"
The voice of the Kikyo mage on the other end of the phone was very gentle, filled with concern for Kikyo's team, or more accurately, concern for Violet.
"Yes, I know. I just finished dinner and was getting ready to take..."
Violet paused abruptly.
"Feed?"
"Hey, Miss Violet, why did you stop talking halfway through your sentence?"
Hearing the gentle voice of Kikyo the Magician coming from the other end of the phone, Violet covered her mouth tightly. Iris the Demoness had indeed kept her word and hadn't laid a hand on her, but she had spoken.
"...I was just about to take them on a mission. Sorry, the network signal was a bit bad earlier. Is there anything else, Kikyo Magician?"
"Yes, Ninomiya City is not like Yeqiu City. You must be careful. If you encounter any difficult official problems in Ninomiya City, you can go to the Ninomiya City Inspector, Mint Magician. I have some connections with her..."
"Hmm~ No problem, this is just a small matter, it's not like I need to ask someone for help... Hmm~ Is there anything else? If not, I'm about to hang up."
"Well, Miss Violet, did something happen to you? Why does your voice sound a little strange?" "Cough cough, I choked on some chili peppers and haven't recovered yet. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Almost the instant the WeChat message ended,
An alluring fragrance of violets instantly filled the room.
"Hehehe, speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since we took a photo together. Let's take one today." Iris took out her phone and smiled sweetly.
"don't want."
Unfortunately, Iris seemed not to hear Violet's words. She intimately pressed her cheek against Violet's flushed face and took a selfie, then casually sent it to Violet on WeChat.
The Demon Princess Iris looked at the photo with a smile, seemingly quite satisfied:
"Xiaodie, what do you think Hoshino Seri will think if I send this photo to her?"
Violet opened her dead fish-like eyes, glanced at the two people pressed tightly together in the phone screen, looking incredibly intimate, and then painfully closed them again.
Waaaaah, she betrayed Seri-chan!
