Chapter 3, trouble has arrived
The words of the pickpocket leader moved Lape.
"You actually weren't caught, your reaction is quite fast," exclaimed the little pickpocket Hand, who had suffered his fair share of hardships and was well aware of the severity of this situation
"I will now slow down and demonstrate once more," the little pickpocket said proudly. However, this time he did not employ any tricks; instead, he approached a mannequin from behind like an ordinary thief. He slowly extended his hand, maneuvering it under the mannequin's elbow, inserting two fingers into the pocket, and with a quick tug, a money pouch was in his hand
"Mr. Fuller, breakfast is ready. Shall I bring it in?" Lape shouted from the doorway
Let me think, I need to think carefully. Rape sat at the edge of the bed
No problem. La Pei is too lazy to talk much with that guy Wilson; he would rather go to Fole openly and honestly.
How can one acquire sufficient strength in the shortest possible time? On the way back, Lape kept pondering this matter, as that pickpocket organization felt like a sharp thorn deeply embedded in his heart
However, Lape is an exception; due to the lucky coins, he can easily master this skill. The problem is that there is no way to practice, as it requires two people to train together. Where can he find such a partner?
"Be careful, the smiling tiger is looking for trouble with you." As soon as I entered, a little postman who had a good relationship with La Pei whispered a warning.
"Come in and speak." The person replied coldly from the window.
If Scar, Ghost Skin, and the others come back, can we handle this kid? The leader of the pickpockets still feels unwilling to accept the situation
Lapei held the lucky coin in the palm of his hand, resting it behind his head, and lay on the bed. He had many matters to attend to, including learning dual-wielding sword techniques, searching for knowledge related to magic, and acquiring some cooking skills and the abilities of a steward
Treating oneself as a garbage bin, after disposing of the remains and filling the stomach, Lapeto took the plate and went upstairs.
This guy ... ... is truly a piece of dog feces, the young postman cursed
The act of theft is fundamentally different from a stabbing; it involves many more actions. Merely having speed is insufficient; one must be quick when necessary, and must also slow down when the situation demands it
However, this also made Hoff feel quite embarrassed
Did you stay up late with the experiment last night?" Lapei expressed some concern.
Just now, La Pei's coin manipulation was dazzling, as if both hands were very agile, but at this moment, a difference became apparent
After a long while, the old man shouted, "This is the thing, this is the thing"
Lape does not expect to achieve success overnight. What he needs to deal with is not an army, nor a powerful lord, and certainly not an entire nation, but rather a group of pickpockets. Although this group is numerous, very few of them are capable fighters
Upon exiting from No. 23 Jeffrey Street, La Pei appeared quite abnormal. At times, he furrowed his brow; at other moments, he wore a broad smile. His expression would shift to one of gloom, then to indifference, as he glanced around restlessly before focusing intently.
A clear sound of a snap was heard, as an iron clamp came down. It was the kind used for catching mice, though the spring was not as tight, so it would not break a finger.
The second split personality is a curious and exploratory individual. In order to maximize the use of lucky coins, Lape needs a scholar, someone willing to dedicate a significant amount of time to reading and researching data
Hoff was also watching Lape, and the two seemed to be testing their patience, seeing who would give in first
Lape's mouth twitched a few times; he did not consider himself a good person, yet he did not feel that he was that bad either. However, Big Will's words provided Lape with an insight: only the paranoid can succeed
I am fine, don't worry. " Lape did not want to elaborate further: "You all answer me first, are you willing to exchange?"
After getting up, Lape's first action was to rush to the fireplace and wave the poker that was placed beside it with his left hand. Lape was not left-handed; he had always been accustomed to using his right hand, and his left hand was generally quite clumsy. However, at that moment, he felt no awkwardness whatsoever.
What surprised both of them was that Rape did not refuse. Imitating the style of the small pickpocket Hand, he approached another dummy from behind and swiftly hooked his right hand into the dummy's pocket
I am willing to do this, can you help me?" Rape made a decision
Please give me some advice, you have possessed this coin for much longer than I have, and you certainly know more than I do
"Lape, I greeted the director and helped you adjust the jurisdiction. Jeffrey Street has always been a major problem; due to that madman, no one was willing to deliver mail there. I didn't expect you to handle the madman; that is truly impressive," the chubby man said with an exceptionally pleasant tone
Lapei could only shake his head; such inner strength was bought at the cost of a tragic fate. He certainly did not wish for anything to happen to his parents or sister
The ghost paused for a moment before introducing itself: "My full name is Biggle Lester Poslov Will, but you may call me Lord Will, or simply Lord."
"You give it a try." Hoff raised his chin
This is also a practice in utilizing the skills of both hands
"What is the problem?" Rape asked anxiously
Rape did not respond, but instead struck again. At this moment, his fingers moved as swiftly as lightning, yet this time there was an added touch of agility. This was the experience gained from his previous two failures
He nodded towards La Pei, and the old man took a deep breath, seemingly savoring the aroma of breakfast
At this moment, Rape's mood brightened suddenly, and he felt that being a pickpocket was not such a bad thing after all
Thirdly, perhaps harnessing the power of the devil could also be useful. Among the past owners of the lucky coin, there are indeed some utterly wicked individuals; they are greedy, insidious, bloodthirsty, and brutal, with a few having instigated wars. Another individual is even more terrifying, as he unleashed an unprecedented plague, resulting in countless deaths. These individuals, without exception, possess legendary strength.
The simplest method would be to set fire to the books, disguising it as a fire accident. The problem is that the fire may not be controllable; if it spreads, it could become unmanageable and potentially kill many people. At that point, the police would also get involved, and with La Pei's current strength, he would be unable to contend with the police. However, if the fire is too small, a large pile of corpses gathered together would clearly indicate an attempt to destroy evidence, and the police would still intervene. Although the intensity of the investigation might not be very strong, it would still lead to trouble.
"I saw you running wildly in the street yesterday. Are you alright?" Another young postman displayed a look of concern.
Big Will was taken aback for a moment, and then his face filled with anger. However, he ultimately suppressed his rage. He was a clever man and understood one thing very well: he was already dead and could not seek revenge by his own strength. To achieve revenge, he had to appropriately tolerate this brat's insolence
The seventh personality is a noble young man, well-versed in the ways of high society. This is also prepared for the investigation of the assassination case, while simultaneously aiming to improve life a little.
"Have you decided to take revenge for me?" The ghost was overjoyed. Although Rape had agreed yesterday, it was a result of coercion.
"Hand, demonstrate it to him once. Start with a fast segment, then slow it down so he can observe it more carefully." Since Hoff suspected Lape was mentally unstable, he refrained from making further threats, fearing that Lape might become violent.
Otherwise, should we pretend it's a gang conflict? La Pei's mind began to wander into fanciful thoughts
In his quest for revenge, Big has reached a point of being utterly ruthless. He does not care whether La Pei will stray onto the path of evil; after all, he is already dead. Even if this world were to turn into a living hell, it would have no bearing on him whatsoever
Lape could only shake his head, knowing that he would certainly be unable to learn. The level of devotion exhibited by that saintess had reached an inhuman degree; throughout history, so many martyrs have been unable to attain such heights, let alone him
Similar to just now, another pocket of the dummy emitted a soft popping sound. However, this pickpocket leader was startled, yet he deliberately downplayed it and shouted loudly: "What you are doing is robbery, not pickpocketing"
I don't know, but I am worried that this kid might go crazy. You didn't see how he looked when he just broke someone else's wrist. The little pickpocket didn't want to go too far. Moreover, when he saw Lape again, he felt that Lape was extremely dangerous and absolutely should not be offended; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he would die in the future
Head, this kid has some skills, why not let him be a thug?" suggested the little pickpocket from the side, which could also be considered doing a favor for La Pei.
The leader of the pickpockets hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Take him to the training room, I will wait for you there"
"Rather than comforting me, it would be better if you could do me a favor," said Lape. "I don't want to deliver the package; it's too time-consuming. I will help you deliver the letters, and you will help me deliver the packages, of course, I will take care of the package for No. 2 and No. 3 Jeffrey Street."
What does it mean? The little postman does not understand the meaning of these words
Are you still planning to do this? the old man asked with a smile
Hoff was also taken aback; he truly did not expect that this kid succeeded after only three attempts. Such talent is even more terrifying than Hand's. With a little training, he could become a master pickpocket, just like Hand.
The issue is that Lape is not yet ready
"Alright, Big. " Rape was infuriated by that group of pickpockets and needed an outlet for his anger
The entire Talen is divided into seven districts, with the seventh district being the last to be delineated and also the largest in area. Due to its proximity to the city outskirts, most of the residents here are impoverished, and the further one moves towards the periphery, the poorer the inhabitants become
This was the first time Rape had come to such a place, and everything before him felt novel.
The sixth personality is the dark sorcerer. In the pursuit of the true essence of magic, one may resort to any means, extinguishing all sense of conscience
Yesterday, La Pei could not discern how this fellow did it at all, but today, he has understood.
Lapei did not know whether this pickpocket organization was accompanied by the misfortune that came with the coin. After all, he encountered that young pickpocket before obtaining the coin. However, he was certain that as time went on, the situation would only worsen
The solution to the problem can be summed up in one word—kill
The old man would never have imagined that La Pei had actually developed feelings.
The Seventh Postal Bureau has two Wilsons; the Smiling Tiger is the younger Wilson, while the older Wilson is his uncle. La Pei's father and the older Wilson are rivals, holding similar positions and having comparable qualifications. In the next promotion, it will be one of them who advances.
"You have some talent," the leader of the pickpockets remarked indifferently, then added, "Unfortunately, you can only use one hand. This won't do; as a thief, both hands must be equally agile"
The old man spoke at length, becoming increasingly absurd in his remarks. It was evident that he wanted Lape to try everything. Of course, he had no illusions that Lape would actually do so; only a true madman or an irredeemable fool would act in such a manner. Dissociative identity disorder is inherently a very dangerous condition, and the old man only dared to manifest two distinct personalities.
At this moment, if anyone were to pay attention to Lape, they would realize that he is not far from madness
This is not a sophisticated skill; it is purely a matter of familiarity. However, this kind of practice is still very useful, and the most important aspect is that it can be practiced anytime and anywhere
"It is equivalent to taking a bath," the old man said with a proud smile
The training room is located on the second floor. The entire second floor has been opened up, with all the rooms connected into one space, arranged in a bizarre manner. The east side resembles a vegetable market, the west side looks like a dining hall, the south side is akin to a street, and the north side resembles a theater. Inside, there are only mannequins, which are crudely made, similar to scarecrows placed in fields. However, they are dressed in real clothes, some of which are quite expensive, and the mannequins are adorned with pocket watches, necklaces, bracelets, and rings.
"Rest assured, he will have bad luck." Lape patted the little postman's shoulder
Lape did not know what the leader of the pickpockets might do. Perhaps it was merely a bout of mockery, or it could be that the library would be subjected to insults, but it was more likely to be something even worse
"No one likes having a ghost lingering around them," Lapei mocked. Of course, he would not mention the pickpocket organization, and this was also a form of probing; he needed to ascertain whether this ghost was aware of what he had done during the day.
Lian Ci is a type of thrusting technique, where generally the upper arm remains stationary, relying solely on the forearm or wrist to generate force, completing the actions of thrusting—retracting—then thrusting again in a very short period of time
This is entirely a matter of mindset. If Lape had not obtained that lucky coin, he certainly would not have dared to act this way; he would have worried that the old man might hold this against him, and he would lose this rare job. However, with the lucky coin in his possession, he has long regarded himself as a future legend. Working for Foller now is a privilege for Foller.
Last night, Big Will's first suggestion to Lape among the three was to find ways to strengthen one's faith. To illustrate this, he cited the example of the saint, who within less than three years transformed from a humble farm girl with nothing but devout faith into an invincible commander and a valiant paladin. Among the previous owners of the lucky coin, her strength was not the greatest, but she was undoubtedly the one who made the fastest progress
Do you possess this skill?" Lape's eyes sparkled.
"Tomorrow it will be my turn," said another little postman
I cannot provide you with a definitive answer. As far as I know, the lucky coin can only give you a starting point that is above the ordinary, but it cannot directly bestow you with power. Big Will indeed hopes to assist Rape, as this also serves to help himself.
Kausbi, that guy, is an idiot; he tells everyone that he has escaped a disaster
What should I do?" Rapei secretly breathed a sigh of relief
He struck quickly and with great precision, not like someone who had learned to fight through brawling, but rather as if he had trained specifically for it. The little pickpocket said this while recalling the scene from just a moment ago
The old man took out a silver disc the size of a palm, which was smooth and flat on both sides, resembling a mirror, though many intricate patterns could be faintly seen on its surface
Lape's expression suddenly changed; he now realized that the old man was indeed a madman. If dissociative identity disorder cannot be considered madness, then there are no madmen in this world.
At this moment, Rape's mind was exceptionally calm as he contemplated how to destroy the evidence.
After a considerable amount of time, Lape finally made a decision—he chose to escape
Soon, everything was moved aside, leaving a large open space in the middle
Adding the original personality, there are exactly nine.
The next morning, as soon as it was light, Lape jumped out of bed
This place is not far from Rape's home, and it also belongs to the seventh district
Rapei has begun to get to work
After being pushed through a narrow and damp alley for more than ten minutes, Lapei was taken into a small building
Rape's finger hooked onto a pocket watch, but he immediately sensed something was amiss, and his finger quickly retracted.
Unlike usual, Lape did not go to the post office. It was still early, and he first needed to go to Old Man Foller’s place to prepare breakfast for him, while also trying out the cooking skills he had just learned
The first split personality is a cold-blooded killer. This is intended for that group of thieves; Rape must kill to silence them and destroy the evidence, which requires a person specifically dedicated to this task
This is the power of faith
More than an hour later, Lape looked at a pile of things with a wry smile
The narrow and winding alleyways, the dirty and slippery steps, the walls covered in moss, with windows on both sides closely packed together, all adorned with iron railings, clearly intended to prevent thieves from entering
The little pickpocket went upstairs and stood at the door, softly saying: "Boss, I have brought back the items. I counted them on the way here, and not a single one is missing"
When La Pei went to buy kitchenware, seasonings, and ingredients, he called for a carriage both ways, so he took the opportunity to visit a few places and inquire about the follow-up reactions to the assassination incident
This is quite easy. There exists a form of magic that can split a person's consciousness, with each consciousness occupying a portion of the brain, and they will not interfere with one another at all. However, there is a problem with this approach..." The old man looked at Lape.
Rapei does not need to mistreat himself, and he also believes that the old man will not care about this small amount of money, so whenever there is an opportunity to ride in a carriage, he will definitely not walk.
Lapei felt reassured, as it seemed the ghost was unaware of his experiences during the day
The little pickpocket opened the door and, with utmost respect, bowed deeply before saying with a beaming smile: "Boss, there is something I must tell you. I misjudged the situation; I originally thought this kid was easy to handle. I didn't expect him to be a lunatic, one moment he is limp and the next he is like a mad dog, and he is quite skilled in his moves. Baldy and Chicken Claw are no match for him; Baldy received an elbow from him, Chicken Claw got kicked in the face, and his claw was also stepped on." I didn't expect him to be a lunatic, one moment he is limp and the next he is like a mad dog, and he is quite skilled in his moves. Baldy and Chicken Claw are no match for him; Baldy received an elbow from him, Chicken Claw got kicked in the face, and his claw was also stepped on.
What other expressions can there be? This person shifts the responsibility to that person, and that person shifts the responsibility back to this person. Everyone is passing the buck, while also desperately manipulating the numbers of the deceased, including the injured in the death toll. Lapeyre indeed inquired about this.
Rape was not caught, but his finger was brushed against, resulting in a burning sensation
The street where Old Foller resides, Jeffrey Street, also belongs to District 7; however, it is considered an upscale neighborhood. It is somewhat distant from the Rape family home, so while walking partway, he spotted a cab and casually flagged it down.
"You say his skills are quite impressive?" the leader of the pickpockets asked again
This is a small building with a courtyard, surrounded by a circle of five-story houses. In the center is a courtyard approximately ten feet long and wide. By closing the only two doors for entry and exit, this place becomes an independent kingdom, indeed a good location to serve as a stronghold
Having made a comparison, Lape could not help but sigh; the self from two days ago was so naive, completely incomparable to this little chubby one
Lape rolled his eyes, having already guessed the reason. He sneered and said, "It is probably not that kid Bai and his obsession with books; on the contrary, he is too clever."
Magic is truly convenient; a single spell can complete the steps of washing one's face and brushing one's teeth. Lapei is filled with envy
While La Pei was working, the old man was rummaging through a row of metal cabinets nearby, muttering to himself, "I remember putting it here, how could it be missing?"
The hand that La Pei used to crack the eggs exerted too much force, while the hand holding the flint could not produce a spark no matter what. He barely managed to ignite a fire, but then forgot to stuff the dry straw for kindling into the stove, resulting in the flame being extinguished. The pot fell to the ground, the bowl was shattered, and the eggs were burnt. ... Failure, yet another failure, a continuous series of failures
Lape selected the best portion from it and placed it on the plate. Then, he carelessly stuffed the remaining items into his mouth, as he had not yet had breakfast, perfectly resolving all these failed creations.
He will be unfortunate. La Pei's expression became exceptionally cold.
Is this all up for decision?" Rapei was very surprised
Indeed. Lape has already figured out where the problem lies
"Look at mine." The pickpocket named Hand was pacing back and forth on the training ground
Alright, if you wish to do so. The first little postman nodded slightly
Lapei is very clear that he will not tolerate unlimited behavior; once the leader of the pickpockets exceeds the bottom line, he will definitely retaliate, and may even resort to murder
It is precisely because of poverty that the number of thieves and pickpockets is also high
In a room on the southern side of the rooftop, a figure stands by the window. The person is tall, but appears unwell; his face has a somewhat ashen hue, and his eyes look vacant, clearly drained by indulgence in wine and vice. His high cheekbones, paired with a pair of slanted eyes and a hooked nose, give the impression of a sinister and ruthless character.
What is going on? La Pei is not surprised that the Smiling Tiger is causing him trouble
I have a matter I would like to inquire about. "Lapei placed the plate in front of the old man: 'My left hand is as agile as my right hand, but I cannot control both hands simultaneously; they always interfere with each other.'"
If it were the old Lape, one would only find this kid hypocritical; however, at this moment, he could not help but admire this little chubby guy.
"You are still young; in a few years, when you have more experience, you will understand... This position will eventually belong to you." The middle-aged man rarely set aside his vulture-like demeanor, revealing a hint of a smile, though there was a somewhat insincere quality to his expression
Hoff noticed that Lape was distracted, and he scratched his head in confusion. This behavior was neither particularly naive nor excessively violent; rather, it exuded a sense of cold indifference, as if viewing life and death as trivial matters. At this point, Hoff became increasingly convinced that Lape was mentally unstable. However, these three personality traits were vastly different, and no one could possess all three simultaneously, unless this individual had a split personality.
"Is there any news today? Has the municipal authority made any statement regarding the assassination incident?" As soon as La Pei returned home, the ghost appeared, impatiently asking.
"Are you planning to multitask?" The old man Foller was in a good mood; he stretched out both hands and suddenly snapped his fingers at the same time. In his left hand, a ball of fire appeared, while in his right hand, a stream of water flowed continuously.
A series of grunting sounds emerged from within, indicating that the old man was still in a daze. After a considerable time, he finally woke up, yawned, and weakly said, "Bring it in."
Young Wilson, though not very old, is quite cunning. He not only uses the director as a figurehead but also places a high hat on La Pei, making it impossible for him to refuse. Now, even if his father speaks on La Pei's behalf, it will be of no use and will instead leave a poor impression in the director's mind
When Lape's fingers retracted, a coin pouch was once again pinched between his two fingers, and this time the iron clamp was not triggered
Hande was well aware that the intention was to give this kid a tough lesson, so he started with the highest level of difficulty. To his surprise, the kid managed to escape unscathed.
So that's how it is. The little pickpocket looked bewildered, and then immediately flattered, saying: "You are truly insightful; having him help with transporting things was my idea first, but I didn't think as deeply as you did."
"I still don't know how to address you," Lapei inquired
In swordsmanship, there is a technique called "listening to the energy," which relies on the contact between swords to sense the signs of the opponent's force and respond in advance
Lapei listened quietly; at this moment, he was thinking about swordsmanship
There are many schools of swordsmanship, some of which utilize dual swords, typically consisting of one long and one short sword, with the long sword used for offense and the short sword for defense. However, there are also those who wield two long swords; swordsmen who dare to do this often possess considerable strength, their attacks swift as lightning and their offensive momentum unrelenting
Yesterday, La Pei only tidied up the ground floor; the second floor has not yet been attended to, so it still resembles a garbage heap. The old man's bedside is cluttered with books
Unlike other chefs, Lapei surprisingly multitasks, with each hand engaged in different tasks: one hand is cracking eggs while the other is igniting the fire
You have plenty of time to consider. Big unexpectedly changed his attitude from yesterday, showing no signs of pressuring Lape at all. Lape felt a headache; he was not an emotionally intense person, nor was he the type to sacrifice himself for others. In any case, he did not seem like someone who could achieve success.
This fellow is indeed a scoundrel with a festering head and sores on his feet, despicable and shameless, utterly devoid of humanity. Most people would be frightened upon hearing such words, as this guy's vile tactics are difficult to counter. However, La Pei is unfazed, for he possesses a way to break through.
Where can a postman afford to buy boots? Moreover, these are not ordinary boots; although they appear quite ugly, they are made of canvas rather than leather, and they are secured by leg straps instead of shoelaces. However, the little postmen all know that these are boots specifically designed for explorers, and they are very expensive
The third personality is a meticulous detective skilled at uncovering clues. Since he has promised to avenge Lord Will, Rape must thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of this assassination
The eighth personality is a sage. He will forever remain hidden behind the scenes, coldly observing everything that happens outside, secretly strategizing and controlling everything
Those little postmen, you look at me, and I look at you
"Stand inside the magic circle, think about the personality you need to split off, and then you will see another version of yourself, who will possess the traits you require," explained the old man Foller
This is the remarkable aspect of the lucky coin
Lapei thought of the continuous stabbing
The old man laughed heartily, finished his breakfast in a few bites, and then gulped down the milk that Rape had prepared for him, before climbing out of bed
No one has ever been willing to go to 2-3 Jeffrey Street. Initially, Little Wilson thought that Cosby, being new, could handle this task, so he assigned it to him. After Cosby realized the situation, he had been looking for someone to swap with, but no one was willing. This time, seeing him in a pitiful state, I decided to help him out, but unexpectedly, that little rascal deceived me
"Can you teach me?" Rape asked eagerly
The pickpocket leader hesitated, believing in the judgment of the young pickpocket. This kid had started in this line of work at the age of eight, and as a pickpocket, one must be adept at reading people and quickly assessing their identities
The upper body is dressed in a postman's uniform, while the lower body is clad in tight-fitting pants, complemented by a pair of boots
Upon arriving at the laboratory upstairs, the old man gestured around and said, "Clear all the tables and chairs; performing this magic requires an open space."
Until he entered the Seventh Post Office, Lape's expression continued to change incessantly. Fortunately, the actor's persona was difficult to discern from his appearance. Thus, from an external perspective, he appeared to oscillate between being mediocre, profound, and arrogant, shifting among these three temperaments.
Lape has made up his mind; this guy in front of him must be killed. If necessary, he will kill everyone here.
Today, while delivering letters, I practiced thrusting, which has already allowed Lape to taste the benefits. If I also pickpocket while practicing "listening strength," the results will surely be impressive as well
Lape has already learned that the leader of this group of pickpockets is named Hoff, but he does not know whether it is a surname, a given name, or a pseudonym. The young pickpocket is called Hand. Lape looks at the pickpocket leader named Hoff
Having taken the letters and parcels out of the post office, Lape entered a nearby alley, followed by a group of young postmen who had a good relationship with him, all wanting to offer Lape some words of comfort
Secondly, the strength of the mind is very important. The reason the knight who was beheaded was powerful is that his heart was filled with hatred, which was the source of his strength. This is the second suggestion given by Big.
Hand's footsteps were unusually light, as if he were frolicking and playing, or perhaps leaping with joy. His hands were always tucked into his pockets, merely brushing past the mannequins without intentionally bumping into them or getting too close. Yet, he would always pull out various items from his hands; sometimes it was a necklace, sometimes a ring, and at other times a pouch of money. Then, with a turn, these items would all vanish, clearly having been put back. However, he would always pull out various items from his hands; sometimes it was a necklace, sometimes a ring, and at other times a pouch of money. Then, with a turn, these items would all vanish, clearly having been put back.
"Is this a magic circle?" Lape opened her eyes wide. This was somewhat inconsistent with the memories contained in the lucky coin, but there are various schools of thought among magicians, and this method of arranging a magic circle might be unique to the school of the old man Fole.
Rapei, pretending to know nothing, strolled into the hall. Just as he was walking towards the mail slot, he saw a chubby little man approaching him.
What is multitasking? I can even engage in multiple tasks simultaneously, or even perform multiple spells at once. The old man became increasingly pleased with himself
The little pickpocket actually knew that a coin was missing. If Lape continued to be as submissive as yesterday, he would surely report it. However, today's Lape was violent and ruthless; if a single word was out of place, he would immediately break the opponent's wrist, which sent chills down his spine
I can indeed offer you a few suggestions. First, the power of faith is extremely strong, and that saint is the best example. She must have received this coin at the age of sixteen, and she died when she was only nineteen. In just three short years, she not only commanded battles and achieved victory after victory, but she also became a very powerful paladin. Given enough time, she would certainly have reached legendary status like another knight, and what she relied on was the power of faith. " Bigge provided the first suggestion. She must have received this coin at the age of sixteen, and she died when she was only nineteen. In just three short years, she not only commanded battles and achieved victory after victory, but she also became a very powerful paladin. Given enough time, she would certainly have reached legendary status like another knight, and what she relied on was the power of faith. " Bigge provided the first suggestion.
However, Lape still requires a great deal of practice; the sensation in his left hand is indeed far from that in his dreams. Lape went downstairs and out, with a silver coin clutched in each of his hands. The coins spun and leaped at his fingertips, sometimes being flicked away only to be caught by him again.
Lape was very hesitant; he did not want to become insane, nor did he wish to be abnormal like the old man. However, if he did not proceed this way, he would be unable to meet the demands set forth by the leader of the pickpockets
Some of the bread is overbaked, while others are undercooked. The amount of cheese spread varies greatly. Most of the fried eggs have scattered yolks; some are burnt, and others are undercooked. The slices of ham are either dry like leaves or excessively greasy, which is quite unappetizing. This is undoubtedly a collection of failed creations
The old man threw the disc into the air, and as it left his hand, it grew larger and split into two. One half landed on the ground, while the other half stuck to the ceiling
It is possible to cause personality fragmentation. The old man did not conceal it either
No one would suspect La Pei, as he was wearing a postal service uniform, and among the victims was also a postal service employee. Those investigating the case would naturally not disclose anything to him, but they could not silence the families of the deceased.
Hand did not start practicing this right away. Initially, the practice involved using a pair of tongs to grasp fatty meat, starting with the fatty meat submerged in cold water, focusing on steady hands. Once proficiency was achieved, the fatty meat was then placed into boiling water, emphasizing quick hand movements, and only after that was the iron tongs introduced.
This old man, whether conducting experiments or sleeping, is always in a robe, even when going out. He simply waved to La Pei and said, "Come with me"
If someone else had said this, the leader of the pickpockets would have long since slapped them across the face. However, he was very tolerant of this young pickpocket. He waved his hand and said: "You don't understand the situation. This kid's identity is quite suitable. He is a postman, which allows him to enter and exit other people's homes openly, making it perfect for him to gather information or conduct reconnaissance. Assigning him to handle the transportation of goods is also a good idea; even if surrounded by the police, no one would dare to open packages to search for items." He is a postman, which allows him to enter and exit other people's homes openly, making it perfect for him to gather information or conduct reconnaissance. Assigning him to handle the transportation of goods is also a good idea; even if surrounded by the police, no one would dare to open packages to search for items.
Lape furrowed his brow; he knew this was nitpicking. However, he did not lose his temper. The words of the pickpocket leader sparked an idea in him—what if both of his hands were equally agile
"You are a clever person, and you must have understood your situation by now," the leader of the pickpockets finally spoke. "No matter how skilled you are, we have so many people here, enough to deal with you. We don't even need to resort to violence; you have parents and a younger sister, and they are not as capable as you. We can take it a step further by having someone deliberately get arrested by the police and then implicate you. Once you are taken into custody, we will go to your home and speak with your family."
"The day after tomorrow is mine," shouted the young postman delivering the letter to Lape, and then he asked, "What about Cosby? Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"
It is indeed the case. The ghost appears somewhat desolate. However, this was within his expectations; if he were to handle similar cases, he would certainly delay as much as possible, evade responsibility when he could, and if all else failed, find a scapegoat, claiming it was the work of a member of a certain radical organization
"It's nothing remarkable; a deep hypnosis can resolve it, just like sketching a draft before painting." Old Foller was in high spirits, and after explaining, he added: "You can even decide the beliefs of the split personality or insert a false memory..."
Only then did others notice Rape's attire
Lape has indeed considered the issue of personality conflict. Therefore, when he created the split personalities, he endowed each of them with a common trait: loneliness, arrogance, and a lack of social conformity. This characteristic is quite fitting for the killer personality, the swordsman personality, the dark magician personality, and the mastermind personality. The scholar personality, focused on knowledge, also tends to be somewhat unsociable. However, the detective personality, the actor personality, and the wealthy young man personality present some challenges, as these individuals generally cannot endure solitude. Consequently, these three personalities are the least compliant; while the other personalities remain hidden, the detective, actor, and wealthy young man personalities continue to emerge, attempting to vie for control with the original personality.
Meanwhile, Lape was also worried about his father, as his character was largely influenced by him. The principles of honesty and kindness are the foundation of being a good person, and integrity and diligence are the ways to navigate the world. With such thoughts in mind, it is highly likely that his father would not be able to compete with Da Wilson.
Lape has indeed gone mad; he has split himself into nine personalities
The carriage soon arrived at No. 23, Jeffrey Street. Lape paid the fare, used the key to open the door, and upon entering, he heard silence inside. He knew the old man was still asleep, having surely worked late into the night on his experiments.
At this moment, Lape's hand shot out and retracted like lightning.
Everything went quite smoothly, and it ended at eleven o'clock. The old man said this while casting a spell on himself, and in the blink of an eye, he became more spirited, and his face appeared cleaner.
"You don't need to meddle; just consider how many personalities you want to split into?" The old man waved his hand impatiently, then added, "You don't need to tell me; this is your own secret."
"Did you help York deliver a package to that madman at 23 Jeffrey Street yesterday?" the little postman asked
This is also a tradition of the Lape family, and absolutely nothing should be wasted
Rapei quietly entered the kitchen, took down a large frying pan from the shelf, and retrieved the hard bread, garlic, and cheese that had been bought yesterday from the cabinet, along with a few eggs.
Biggles Wils thought for a moment. The lucky coin had been in his possession for seven or eight years. He had conducted detailed investigations into the previous owners of the lucky coin and could roughly estimate when they had acquired it. This allowed him to deduce the rate at which they had enhanced their abilities, from which he could glean certain insights
The fifth persona is designed for the swordsman, who is wholeheartedly pursuing the pinnacle of swordsmanship
Mad slaughter is a form of obsession, and relentless revenge is also a form of obsession. As for piety, it can likewise be viewed as a form of obsession
Hand's movements are remarkably swift. Each time he brushes past a dummy, his hand darts out like lightning, with two fingers hooking onto the other person's hand, neck, or pocket, and the item is in his grasp. The secret lies in speed, an instantaneous burst of speed, and the distance is very short, generally not exceeding half a foot
Your hands are indeed very quick, naturally suited for the profession of a pickpocket, but your movements are too large, not agile enough, and lack sensitivity. A successful pickpocket's hands should be as gentle and keen as a cat's whiskers. The leader of the pickpockets was quite unwilling to accept this, yet had no words to counter, only able to offer a few casual remarks.
The fourth personality excels in performance. With this personality present, even if La Pei becomes a madman, others will not be able to tell.
Lape immediately put on the super strength gloves and got to work
"You stay here, I will go and inform the boss," the pickpocket said to Rape, then glanced at the other two individuals: "You two, don't meddle; everything will be decided by the boss, who does not appreciate those who take matters into their own hands." The two thugs had indeed considered retaliating against Rape, but upon hearing this, they dared not make a move. The pickpocket left the three of them and quickly ran upstairs.
This is an advanced technique, generally speaking, only those who have practiced swordsmanship for seven or eight years are qualified to approach it, and those who can master it are all experts
Lape opened the door and walked in
"Are you alright?" a young postman asked, looking at La Pei's boots
Wow! The little pickpocket Hander exclaimed in astonishment, his mouth agape
Here comes Little Wilson. He is quite good-looking, plump but not unattractive, with a somewhat narrow forehead and small eyes that are always squinting. No matter whom he meets, he wears a smile on his face, which is why the little postmen privately call him "Smiling Tiger"
