Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 5 Tequila Tavern

"Why don't the Nighthawks come to investigate this incident?"

"Nighthawk? What is a Nighthawk?"

Downs was a little confused. He scratched his chin and said:
"It has been foggy there a long time ago. It seems to be caused by factory smoke. People are prone to hallucinations there... Anyway, just don't go there."

This is not the case, the woman in the Misty Village is definitely not normal... Chris thought to himself.

"And that crazy Zhenma, don't go looking for her in the future. Did she tell you about her son who is a soldier in the Southern Continent?

Oh, it seems that her son was killed by her own hands, but because there was no evidence, the matter was dropped.

In short, stop asking about these things and stay as far away as possible.

If you are short of money, go get a part-time job, such as working as a waiter in a restaurant, or looking for clients in a pub, running errands for others, etc. Other places may not hire you.

Of course, you don’t have to think about going to a soup kitchen. If you are healthy, the church will not help you. "

He opened the door: "Okay, let's go."

Chris had just taken two steps when Downs called him from behind again: "Can you read?"

He pointed to the pattern on the wall consisting of two swords and a crown, and continued:
"If you don't know how to read, look for this pattern in case of any emergency. This is the logo of the Loen Police Department. You can also ask someone. This is the University District Police Department of Tingen City."

"Thank you."

Chris thanked her sincerely.

Tingen... Zhou Mingrui will travel through time in one month.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the urge to hug his thigh in a month.

Chris smiled and shook his head, still wanting to take one step at a time.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the original owner had just graduated from the Department of Grammar of Hoy University and had to attend the graduation ceremony in three weeks.

According to Loen tradition, graduates cannot directly stay in school, but the original owner has excellent academic performance, and two universities have already offered him an olive branch, one is Backlund University in the capital, and the other is located in Jianhai. Conston Technical University in the county.

Chris scratched his head. After attending the graduation ceremony, he had to leave the school and could no longer stay in the dormitory. He had to find a place to live.

After walking out of the police station and looking at the mottled tree shadows on the ground, he suddenly thought of the disheveled woman in the misty village, and he felt scared.

That fog is definitely not just factory smoke, there must be something fishy in it. ...

Also, Officer Downs didn't seem to know what I was talking about when I mentioned the Nighthawks, and the female officer immediately saw that I was lying...

Yes, many ordinary people in the mysterious world do not know the existence of "extraordinary". In this case, the female police officer is very likely to be an extraordinary person... Could it be that she is the "audience"?
I may have been noticed by the Nighthawks...

Chris calmed down and walked towards the door of the police station.

After going out, he walked around for a long time. After he was sure that he was not being followed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chris spent a long time walking around Tingen and couldn't help but sigh that walking here was like walking in a history book, and every step was a collision with history.

It was getting late now, and he looked at the red moon hanging alone in the sky, and suddenly thought that the starry sky in this world was extremely dangerous.

But soon he thought of something else - the gods who could allow him to travel from reality to the world in the book, since they had this power, couldn't they resist the corrosion of the starry sky and the gaze of external gods?
But no matter what, it’s better to be careful and remember that this is a weird and mysterious world!

Chris took a deep breath and was ready to try his luck at a tavern. Maybe he could have a glass of wine and pretend to be drunk for a night.

It was midsummer at this time, and the tall trees beside the road stretched out their branches, blocking the last ray of sunshine. Pedestrians, old and young, were walking on the street.

Some of the street vendors are packing up their stalls and preparing to go home, while others look like they have just left their stalls, setting out items and shouting for sale. The aroma of rice wafts from different windows, tantalizing your taste buds.

Chris stood outside the door of a pub, a three-story building with a front facade, and it was noisy inside.Liquor is sold on the first floor, chess and cards are on the second floor, and guest rooms are on the third floor. This tavern layout is very popular in Loen.

Tequila Cantina…

He thought silently in his mind and pushed the door open.

The pub didn't look big. There was a bar on the right side of the door. There were several bottles of wine scattered on the bar. There was a bartender wearing glasses. He had gray hair and was about the same build as Chris.

There are a few tables on the left hand side, which look like they have been around for some time. Three or five alcoholics are playing around a table, and a few are drinking in the corner.Further inside is a staircase leading to the second floor.

Chris decided to say hello to the bartender first. He walked up to the bartender who was wiping the bottle:
"Hello."

Jason Glenn looked up at him, then lowered his head and wiped the bottle:
"any drinks?"

"Have a glass of boiled water."

Chris sat down in a chair.

"This is a tavern. They only sell alcohol."

"..."

Chris couldn't refute that his main problem now was that he had no money, not even the fare. "Want to hire a waiter?" Chris scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't have any money, how about... help you wash a few dishes?"

He paused, as if he remembered something, and said quickly:

"There are police officers who can vouch for me."

"Who?"

Jason looked up immediately.

"A police officer named Downs."

Chris answered truthfully.

Jason stopped what he was doing:
"You wait."

He put down the bottle and walked toward the stairs.

A few minutes later, a man as tall as a bear walked down the stairs behind the bartender. Every step he took downstairs made the stairs creak.

"Baggio is down..."

"Carlo Baggio? What is he doing here? He is not competent at all as a boss..."

When the drunkards saw that huge body, they all sobered up a bit instantly and followed him with their eyes.

Although Baggio is the nominal owner of the Tequila Tavern, he rarely shows up. Jason usually manages the Tequila Tavern.

Baggio came to Chris and frowned:
"Downs asked you to come? What did he say?"

"He said that if you are short of money, you can come to the bar to find a job and help people run errands, wash dishes, etc."

"Oh, I thought something happened."

Baggio took a bottle of wine and drank half of it, then wiped his mouth:

"Where are you from?"

"Misty Village."

Chris answered honestly.

"Mist Village?"

Baggio looked surprised, then lowered his voice:

"Then you are... an extraordinary person?"

"Not yet..."

"Mother Goddess...are you not an extraordinary person?"

"I don't know. I was in Misty Village when I woke up. I'm indeed not an Extraordinary yet."

"Misty Village? Mother Goddess... Then you are really lucky to come out alive. It's not safe there."

Baggio thought for a moment and then said:

"Emperor Russell said, 'Those who know nothing will not be afraid of anything.' Perhaps it is not the Extraordinary that is the reason why you can come out alive."

He drank the remaining half of the bottle of wine in one breath:

"In short, I have some commissions here, but at least you have to be an Extraordinary to accept them. You are an ordinary person, so forget it."

"..."

Chris didn't answer, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated - he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where he would sleep tonight.

Even if I could go back to Star Island and change things in the book, would I be able to make a soft rectangular mattress?

Just as he was about to turn around and leave the tavern, the door of the tavern was pushed open with a bang, and a girl about the same age as Chris walked into the bar.

She is about 1.6 meters and a half tall, with a well-proportioned figure, a fair and fair face, and a dark golden ponytail swaying, exuding a youthful atmosphere all over her body.

The girl held up a parchment scroll and smiled at Baggio:

"I want to find this person."

After just one glance at the portrait on the parchment, Chris' whole body froze and he froze in place.

The portrait depicts an elegant and dignified noble lady, smiling and looking ahead.

And what she was wearing around her neck was the emerald necklace!
In the garbage dump in the alley of Misty Village, the emerald necklace was tightly held by one hand!

——I was absolutely right!
