Chapter 18 Sweet (3)
【hero】

It took several calls to get through.

"Every time your express delivery is the fastest, why is it so slow this time?" the girl asked, "It was agreed that the air shipment can be received on the same day, but it has been two days."

"I'm really sorry. You are also a regular customer. You should be aware of the quality of our company's work. This time it was really an accident." The man on the other end of the phone smiled apologetically, "The world is not peaceful recently, and many employees I took a long vacation. There is no way, I need to do everything myself, so the efficiency is naturally a little bit worse."

Thinking of the recent news spread on the Internet or on TV, the girl who didn't quite believe it suddenly fell silent.

"Is it because of the... monster invasion that was said in the news?" She asked.

The man on the phone smiled and said, "Yeah."

"But...but how could it be, I have never heard that these things really exist before."

A sigh came from the receiver, and the man apologized again: "I'm really sorry, it was my mistake at work."

"Ah, it's not that I don't believe you, after all the news has been broadcast." The girl hurriedly explained, "It's just that this incident really subverted my common sense, and I can't accept it for a while."

"I'm not talking about that...but thank you for your understanding," the man said.

"It doesn't matter if the courier is a little late." The girl held the phone and held it in for a long time before saying, "Be careful!"

After a "thank you", the phone hung up.The girl looked up at the sparsely trafficked street outside the window, feeling a little melancholy.What she didn't expect was that the courier was delivered to her door just a few minutes later.

"Don't worry, those monsters will be eliminated soon." Seeing the girl's bad mood, the man comforted him, "If there are fairies, there will naturally be gods like Monkey King."

The girl's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"

The man nodded: "Really."

The girl seemed to be in a much better mood. She signed her name on the courier slip and once again asked the man to be careful.

The man thanked him, turned and went downstairs.Walking out of the corridor, golden hair suddenly emerged from his exposed skin.

Dressed in golden armor with locks, a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and cloud shoes on lotus root silk, the man pulled out the golden cudgel from his ear, and with one move, wiped out the little demon approaching him.

"It really affects work efficiency." He narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon king in the distance, with impatience in his voice.

"Eat my grandson!"

【grow up】

"A handaxe (trumpet) with a wooden handle, that's what I want most. Thank you for your generosity and Merry Christmas."

Santa Claus looked at the wish card in his hand, curled his lips, and took off the red hat on his head.He put down the wish card and picked up another wish card with a cartoon elk drawn on the back.

"A chainsaw, trumpet." Santa Claus raised his eyebrows and read aloud, "What happened to these children this year, have they changed their careers to carpentry?"

He rummaged through the dozens of wish cards, but in the end he only found a few entertainment-oriented gifts.

"The kids are all grown up," Santa exclaimed. "A few years ago they were kids who didn't want anything but toy cars."

On the street, colorful lights flickered.A huge Christmas tree stands in the center of the square, covered with baubles.Snow covered the ground, and the entire city was wrapped in silver.

Santa Claus flies through the air in his elk sleigh, landing on the roof from time to time.Holding a sock-shaped gift bag in his hand, he staggered into the house from the chimney, and tiptoedly pushed open the door of the child's bedroom.

The bed was empty.

Santa's nervous body relaxed, and the smile on his face faded.He shrugged his shoulders, his hands hung on the sides of his trousers in a daze, and said softly, "So you're not at home..."

"That's right." He put the gift bag next to the cold pillow, and sighed faintly, "The children have grown up, so naturally they don't look forward to these dispensable gifts like they did when they were young."

He left feeling disappointed and went to the next child's home.After arriving there, the scene encountered was still the same.

Santa Claus traveled through most of the city and finally returned to his cabin.After the elk was settled, he took out the key to the door of the cabin.The door was unlocked, he stopped moving, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I want to see which little thief actually stole from me."

The flower salute exploded at the door, and the children in the city stood at the door, their faces flushed, whether it was from cold or excitement.

A rough but brand new sleigh stands inside the house, the tools that Santa Claus just sent out a few hours ago are scattered on the side, and the paint on the car has not completely dried.

Santa Claus was startled, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"The kids are all grown up."

This is the third time tonight, this sentence has come out of his mouth.

【Angel in white】

"If you don't hand over the doctor in charge today, don't think about opening this hospital in the future!" The man waved the knife in his hand, "I won't get better, and none of you will get better!"

The dean wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Calm down first, the doctor can't be blamed for this."

"I'm calm?" the man sneered, "My dad was fine when he came in, but it's only been a few days, and he's gone?!"

"Yes!" The people waving red banners echoed, "The facts are right in front of our eyes, why don't you say it's not the responsibility of the hospital?"

People swarmed forward, smashing the glass of the hospital with their sticks.The young female nurse shrieked in fright and shivered in a corner.

A steel pipe in someone's hand whirled and was about to hit the nurse on the head. The boy who had just come to the hospital for an internship flashed in front of the girl and caught her.

He raised his foot and kicked away the man who was rushing forward.

"Okay, it's almost done." The young man shrugged helplessly, waved his hands and said, "Don't you know what's going on?"

The man clutched his chest and stood firm, scolding angrily, "What are you?"

The young man snorted: "What are you? My father passed away, and I wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble and make a fortune. Is there any humanity?"

The man's face flushed red.

"Regardless of these, you are a big man who brought a group of hooligans here to bully such a cute sister, are you ashamed or not?" The boy said contemptuously, "We are angels in white!"

"Angel in white? There is a fart angel in this world!" The man panted and sneered, "If there really is an angel, I will admit that I am wrong, but you deserve it too?"

Then, he roared angrily and stabbed the boy with a knife.

The man's front was full of light, and under the light of the holy light, a pair of wings emerged from the boy's back, covering his chest, and jammed the knife in the man's hand.

"To be honest, you don't believe it." The boy said, "But I am really an angel!"

【female soldier】

The new recruiting season has arrived.

Dozens of people gathered at the gate of the Armament Department in the city.They were chatting and joking, obviously they just met each other, and the freshness had not completely disappeared.But not everyone is like this—at the corner of the street, there is a person who has no communication with everyone. He is thin and thin, and half of his face is covered by a hood.

A guard came out from the armament department, and with a military order, the atmosphere became solemn.

With firm and steady steps, the general walked out from the armament department, his eyes swept over one person after another.At the corner he stopped and lifted the hood of the Reticent.

"Women also want to join the army?" The general looked at her face and sneered mercilessly, "What can you do with such a weak body?"

"What a man can do, I can do it." The girl looked directly into the general's eyes, "I can do what a man can't do."

The general sneered, but since there is no law in the country that prohibits women from joining the army, the existence of girls will not have any impact on the battle situation, so he ignored it with an attitude of indifference.

Three months later, the war began.On the battlefield, the general leads the army on the horse.This time the enemy was extraordinarily ferocious, and even he felt quite strenuous.

The sharp sound of air rubbing reached the general's ears, and when he turned his head, the arrow was already in front of him, and there was no time to dodge it.

The sword was crossed, and the girl cut it off with a sword.Although the arrow still pierced the general's cheek obliquely, it still left his life behind.

"Can't talk anymore?" The girl smiled, then raised her sword and roared, "The general's mouth is injured, tell me to take command!"

"Assault on the right wing!"

The battlefield was chaotic, and everyone saw the general beside the girl, so they didn't suspect him, and rushed to the enemy's right wing.Half an hour later, the battle was a complete victory.Later, the girl commanded the entire war.She cooperated closely with the general, the two went through life and death, made great contributions to the country, and all the grievances disappeared.

Three months later, the war was over and the general proposed to the girl.

The new recruiting season is here again.

"General, there are many more female soldiers on this year's military list, look..."

"Female soldiers?" The general stood up abruptly, "Okay, okay! With these female soldiers, there is hope for the country's rejuvenation!"

A slender but powerful hand screwed on the general's ear, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, with a murderous look.

"With me alone as a female soldier, isn't it enough for the rejuvenation of the country?"

【little thief】

The young man climbed up to the courtyard wall of the palace lightly, and climbed inside.

The courtyard was as quiet as he expected. Although there were relatives of the emperor living here, it was not as heavily guarded as the palace.Only a few servants and guards in the entire palace were still awake.The young man walked through the bushes, carefully avoided the night watchmen, and walked to the gate of the palace.

He opened a gap in the palace door and got in.

A sword was pressed against the boy's jaw.

"Bold thief—" a crisp female voice sounded, "Hey, you still dare to fight back?!"

A few seconds later, the boy was trampled on his chest and pressed to the ground, with the sharp sword pressed against his throat, and there was also a purple patch around his eye socket.Seeing the pitiful look of the boy, the princess couldn't bear it.

She bent down, squinted her eyes and looked at the young man, and then suddenly laughed: "You are so bad at martial arts, what kind of thief are you?"

The young man was so stared at that his ears became hot, but after hearing this, he struggled to sit up and snorted.

"The art of stealing doesn't depend on kung fu!" He said angrily.

The princess raised her eyebrows and withdrew her sword.

"I want you to help me steal something." She said, "Didn't you say that you are a superman in stealing skills? I'd like to see if you dare to steal the account book of Shangshu's house. If you can do it, I will reward you with gold." One hundred taels."

The young man took a deep look at her, and then disappeared in a flash.

The princess said it casually, but she didn't expect that the ledger would be brought by the boy three days later.The evidence of corruption was presented to the emperor, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry was summoned for interrogation. In less than a week, he was thrown into prison.

"Help me steal something again." The princess said as she handed the package containing gold to the boy.

The boy tugged at the package several times but failed to move it, so he had no choice but to agree.

After that day, the boy helped the princess steal a lot of things, ranging from secret letters from the enemy army to her favorite snacks.The young man himself has also risen from the princess' personal bodyguard all the way to the position of a general, and has made great contributions to the country by virtue of his ability to move without a trace.

Another day, a man who had returned from a great victory knocked on the door of the princess' room.He looked into the eyes of the princess, knelt down on one knee and said, "I have something to ask, and I hope the princess will agree!"

"Steal something for me first." The princess interrupted the man, "Go to father's palace."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, but he nodded anyway.Several hours later, the man got the box that the princess said.He pried the lock open, and the bright red came into his eyes.

A hydrangea.

The man was startled, and before he could react, he heard the crisp voice of the princess behind him.

"What you asked for, I will."

【pirate】

"Captain, a few nautical miles ahead is where the mermaids live." The first mate frowned and reminded the man standing at the bow, "It is said that their singing can break anyone's will. Be firm, but you can’t tell if you will fall into it.”

The ship the man was on was a privateer, also known as a pirate ship.Unlike other pirates, men did not live by burning, killing and looting.

"There are so many unidentified treasures in the world, and so many business opportunities between different continents, why do we have to rely on force to seize wealth?" This is what the man said when he formed the fleet.But life will not be smooth sailing after all, and there will always be some things that go against our wishes, such as now.

"Is there no other way to get to the island?" The man asked unwillingly.

The first officer shook his head: "Actually, the entire island is included in the mermaid's survival range."

"The previous efforts can't be in vain, besides, don't we also 'it is said that we can get any treasure'?" The man's gaze became firm again, "Let's go!"

When the boat was halfway through, night fell as expected, and the singing of the mermaid gradually sounded.While the waves were churning, a little mermaid emerged from the water.Shocked, the crew had set up the artillery on the side of the ship.

"do not want!"

At the critical moment, the man stopped the crew's movement, while he himself held the rudder and steered the ship forward.The little mermaid gave the man a surprised look and dived into the water.

The ship sailed for three days and three nights, during which some mermaids attacked the ship from time to time.That night, the little mermaid appeared again and boarded the deck.

"You are different from others." The little mermaid's eyes were full of admiration and curiosity, "You are very powerful, but you will not kill my people."

"But my clan will not allow you to go to the island." After struggling for a while, she sighed, "Go back!"

The man shakes his head.

The little mermaid gritted her teeth, turned around and jumped into the sea.After that day, she mediated between the two until she was wanted by impatient clansmen as a collaborator.Before being caught, she gave up the chance to escape and asked the fish group to send a message to the man.

It was a poignant song, and at the end of the song, it left a message that is crucial to men.

"During the time they were distracted from judging me, you can go to the island from the edge of the reef, take the treasure, and run away."

No one knows the outcome of that treasure hunt. People only know that the fleet was severely damaged and withdrew from that sea area.A few days later, in the bar at the port, a sailor finally couldn't help but bought a bottle of rum and handed it to the man.

"So... have you got the treasure?"

"The mermaid's singing can indeed break anyone's will." The man laughed.

"Treasure..." The man squeezed the palm of the girl beside him. "There are always better treasures than gold."
