Chapter 18
After a short period of darkness.
Cole opened his eyes, the environment all around was still so familiar, damp, dirty and messy.
Have you finally returned?
Check the time. As stated by system, since he entered The Conjuring world, there has been no change in the time of the main world.
Because it is almost dawn in the middle of the night.
The horns of cars faintly sounded on the street outside, and occasionally there was the laughter of early students passing by.
Squeeze the left hand, the scar on it has completely disappeared.
Get up and throw the paper bags left over after eating the bread into the trash can. Out of curiosity about the new abilities, he activated the Seventh Sense ability and took a look at this room that was broken until it couldn’t be broken. A flavourful low-rent apartment.
After a short silence of mystery.
Turn off Seventh Sense quickly and happily.
Cole decided to set off now and rent a luxurious single apartment in the Imperial Capital Center.
Twelve thousand West pounds.
With the purchasing power of this World, it is no less than a huge sum of money.
The more than two hundred pounds that he used to buy clothes and shoes was the previous owner's four years of studying at the Imperial Family Demon-Hunter Academy, relying on poverty subsidies, living frugally, and doing odd jobs. Accumulated.
The coat he is now wearing, although not as high-level goods as those of high-ranking officials, but also not a poor student can afford it.
The light luxury of pure handwork.
Otherwise, he won't meet the Finley girl, and that guy won't go to the neighborhood where the poor live.
Walking on the road, Cole began to figure out how to spend this income.
Considering security and personal privacy.
The high level apartment in the Imperial Capital Center, the rent for one month is about 300 pounds, a small rent for half a year is no problem.
For the remaining money, you can consider spending a thousand pounds to buy a popular private car on the market, hiring a driver, and then buying a more formal set of clothes.
Who doesn't want to be a decent person?
Maybe you can still humiliate Celia Finley's lousy coin pool at the graduation ceremony.
In the early morning after the rain, the street is full of water, and the sea style is harsh outside.
Cole tightened his collar and bought a piece of freshly baked hot bread on the street with grilled meat and cheese in it.
Stopped in front of a building.
Looking up, the huge billboard says'Horch Motor Company'.
After some selection, I bought a pure black classic car that is very similar to the Blue Star of the late nineteenth century, um...in the Mengxi Empire, you can call it a Horch high level sedan.
The top speed is 80 kilometers per hour.
The leather interior is very delicate.
Opening on the street is the embodiment of middle-class and upper-class status.
The sales manager of the company asked him to introduce a driver. About an hour later, a tall and sturdy man, wearing a black windbreaker, wrapped in a gray scarf, wearing a top hat, and brown leather shoes was polished. The bright middle-aged man found it.
He took off his hat and asked very politely, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Walker?"
"Yes."
"Hello , I’m Ava Shaw, I heard that you need a driver."
Cole sits on a bench in the car company’s lobby with a cigarette in one hand, indifferently said, "Every tenth Five pounds, you can rest when I'm away."
The monthly salary of overwhelming majority drivers on the market is around ten pounds, and Cole’s price of fifteen pounds is already very high.
The middle-aged man standing in front of him did not act too excited, took the top hat back, and said, "I am happy to serve you, Mr. Walker, where are we going now?"
"Take me to the Burton Building."
The two briefly talked on the road, and then Cole knew that this guy was the largest underground power in Fuklin Province before. Mr.'s personal driver.
Being thrown into prison for six years, this is his first job since he was released.
No wonder he always finds this guy's appearance a bit familiar.
Standard Mafia style dress.
Good guy, it’s just a Colt M1911 and a Chicago typewriter inside the trench coat.
So, why did the boss of the car trade recommend him such a driver?
From the subsequent conversation, he found the answer.
Although Cole's appearance is the same as usual, he now, compared with the poor demon-hunter apprentice in the past, reveals a unique temperament of'not a good person' from the inside to the outside.
Like Lorraine Warren always thinks that he is the Bounty Hunter who is active in the impossible zone.
Quiet, always cold expression.
The same black coat of the Mafia, shiny leather shoes, like frowns smoking.
Especially his eyes.
The manager of an automobile company has no other specialties, but he is extremely good at observing words and expressions.
Just look at Cole and he can understand that this guy is definitely a ruthless character.
Unfortunately, he mistakenly regarded the identity of Cole demon-hunter as the emerging underground power leader of Imperial Capital.
Only then will Ava Shaw, who has the'same' background, be introduced to him.
Ordinary car drivers, how dare to drive such a character!
After Ava learned of the identity of Cole demon-hunter's apprentice, his expression suddenly became unnatural.
Of course, all mafia are outlaws, but in this World, who is not afraid of demon-hunter?
The group of guys who walk on the edge of death and deal with devil monsters every day.
For a while, he said awkwardly, "No wonder you are willing to pay me 15 pounds a month..."
In other words.
No one wants to do this work, no matter how much money.
If it were not for the support of the family, he would have gotten off and ran away before the car reached Burton House.
Instructed Ava to pick him up at eight. Cole rented a high level apartment on the sixteenth floor for a monthly rent of two hundred and ninety-nine pounds.
24 hours hot water and room service.
Finally, I didn’t have to stay in that dirty and shabby cheap rented house, hanging the coat on the shelf, putting his hands in his trouser pockets, standing in front of the window overlooking the city, and Cole felt much better for a while.
"Sylvie, don't hide, come out."
"Ah...ah? Mr. Cole, did you find me?"
Leave The After the Conjuring world, Cole already has the psychic ability of Seventh Sense.
This ability is like a passive skill that can be actively switched on and off.
I tried to use it in the old residence before, um...heaven knows how many people died tragically in that apartment, in one sentence: Yin Sector Residence.
No wonder the former Cole died in it because of a cold.
Being surrounded by a bunch of ghosts every day, even if they are not offensive, but the erosion accumulated over a long period of time will make a person's body gradually deteriorate.
Let Sylvie go and make him a cup of black tea first, then sit in a chair and start to look at the ghost maid rewarded by the system.
The very modern maid restaurant is dressed up in the same style.
The gray hair ends with a red butterfly into a ponytail, and there are two red spots on the face...or is it a birthmark?
As described in the system, she is not good at fighting, even very timid.
Seeing that there’s not much work to do here, activate the skills, make a cup of black tea for Cole from inside the Void, then hide in the buttons of his coat, hesitated, "If... I won’t come out anymore."
Cole said while drinking tea, "There is no one else here."
"I...I know! Although this comment The employer is very bad, but Mr. Cole, your look and breath scared me."
