1 Phantoms and desires
The phantom Danny also specially chose to come out today to buy a gift for his young friend Willy, on Sunday, even if it is a person who does not worship, today, he will pay a little attention to the soul, right, a little restrained, heh, materialism. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But that's the astringent effect, the phantom man walks in the brilliant streamer, cautiously.
It was noon, and Danny also specially chose this kind of public should be huddled in restaurants and beverage stores...... A moment of rest, but some wandering desires still burrowed into the phantom's body-
'I'm still too impulsive!These shoes really don't look as good in the store!I shouldn't have accepted that offer!Can I convince the clerk to return the goods?' Uh, can you turn back a little bit, someone, give me a stick......
'Oh sin, this cake is so delicious! No, I'm ...... calories today. No, I'd like to order one! No, my calories...... No, my ...... Life is so difficult, why can't body and mouth coexist......
'Kozil's wedding dress is so beautiful, when the hell is this guy going to say that to me!Wait, what's in his pocket??,' bulging, is that what I thought??!Please, please......
Desire is a very complex thing, and this kind of desire that only appears on rest days is already very peaceful, and people's daily desires will be more 'excessive'. For example, do you want to kill your boss, do you want your competitors across the street to explode on the spot, do you want people around you to fly to the sun with spicy clothes...... So, it was already a very peaceful desire, and still, Danny picked up a little bit. The goal is that he will not realize anyone's desires, come quietly, and go back quietly.
But Danny is starting to feel like he's getting farther and farther away from that goal. Perhaps in the eyes of other passers-by, he is just an ordinary person who walks with his head bowed and even cowers. But in the eyes of anyone who can see the world through the eyes of an alien, Danny is no different from the neon signs on Betsy Street at night. If the battery is used to describe the phantom's accommodation of desire, Danny's electricity is almost full.
Maybe he shouldn't have come to Liszt to buy something, he should have gone somewhere deserted. But, well, Danny wanted the gift for his friend to be good and perfect, and Barton didn't have much to choose from.
Oh yes, Danny had thought about going to the streets on the east side of Becky, near Reipter, to look for things for students, bags, stationery, study items. But after thinking about it, Danny made it clear that he was a friend, not a parent, and he would not deprive Willie's mother of the right to provide these necessities for her son.
Well, the options are limited, and Danny is thinking of something that will allow Willy to make friends sooner in the new environment. Well, for example, a formal suit that will make a good impression and be decent? For example, a watch that will make people of the same age look at it and be curious to talk about? For example......
Danny saw something good, and in the window, in the accessories showcase next to the dress model, Danny looked up, uh, Kozil's shop.
"Good vision. β
Danny startled, staring at the model in the window, the thing blinking.
"Are you a phantom?" the model moved, "I used to have a phantom friend who looked just like you, colorful and a little dazzling. And then he died. β
Danny opened his mouth, if this guy wanted to talk to him, it was really a mouthful! Danny closed his mouth and turned to leave.
"Don't you wonder what I am?" the model changed her position, raising her hand to hold the pose. But it may be based on the model's joint reality, and the pose is a bit weird.
Danny frowned and looked back at the model, "You shouldn't be messing around in the window. β
"It's okay, no one sees it. The model blinked again, as if she could hear the sound of the plastic rubbing, "The owner allowed me to move my body occasionally. β
"Uh, master? You mean Oz Kozil?"
"Well, do you want to come in, I can't keep chatting with you like this, the security guard is coming back from his lunch break. When they're there, I can't make a sound. β
Danny glanced at the display case and pursed his lips as he approached Kozil's shop.
In the relationship of time, there were not many people walking around the store, and the employees also gathered behind the counter at random to chat, glanced at Danny's side, got a look of not bothering, and smiled and ignored it. It's humane.
"What are you? I've never seen anything like you. β
Danny took the contents of the display case himself, a wallet, perfect for people who are independent from home, and it is also a symbol that the teenager is going to stand on his own feet.
"I don't know. The model replied, "Why do you touch me and answer that question?"
"Touching you?" Danny crooked his mouth, it was too strange to ask, but he did it anyway, reaching out a finger and tapping it on the model's shoulder.
Danny's eyebrows began to rise, surprised, "You, you're human? I, I can feel your desires...... Do you want to ......" Danny's gaze began to look down until the model's shoes were on the model's shoes, and the laces on his right foot were spread out and hanging at his feet, "Tie the laces ......" Danny's expression was a little hard to describe.
"Please, can you help me, it's been morning, no one has noticed, I'm dying of annoyance. β
The corners of Danny's eyes twitched, and he crouched down, still tying the guy's shoes.
"Woohoo~ Finally, it's much cooler, thank you. β
"You, what the hell are you??"
"I said I don't know. "Models," turn around, the owner sees you. β
Really, in the reflection of the window, Kozil was approaching, and Danny turned around with a frown.
The words weren't said to Danny, "You shouldn't have come to me, Liszt. "Now you're just making it difficult for me to be caught between the Westsiders, you, and Darcy." He smiled at Danny, "You can only work with Darcy on this matter, I should avoid suspicion." (similar to what Zach said when he stopped James from going to Oz to ask Nate, to avoid suspicion) and walked in a clear direction to Danny, "Now, before I need to reconsider helping you on behalf of the Feast and assessing your IQ, get out of here." I have guests to receive. β
"I'm sorry. Liszt's gaze passed over Danny and left.
"Hey, Danny, this is a real rarity. Oz casually dispersed the employees who came over, stood beside Danny, glanced at the wallet in Danny's hand, and raised an eyebrow, "Are you here to buy something?"
"Yes. Danny didn't want to make contact with the mind reader and prepared to bypass Oz to check out.
"Hehe, no need, I'll give it to you. 'Don't take money from phantoms', this should be written into the merchant guidelines. Oz made a not-so-funny joke, and then seemed to casually straighten the collar of the model in the window, "You look in a good mood, do you see anything interesting?"
Just as Danny wondered if this was to himself, Oz laughed, "yes, how about changing your shoes without laces next time, hehe." β
Danny's face was a little embarrassed, but it seemed that he couldn't just walk away, "What is he?"
"Him, my toys. Oz looked back at Danny, "I need something to 'chat' with me when I'm bored, he's a great guy." β
Danny regretted asking himself, the picture of the answer was too uncomfortable, and pursed his lips as he prepared to leave. Oz wasn't Zach, and Danny wasn't obligated to explain to him that he had brought real money. To be honest, Oz didn't need to explain, just found a reason to send Grande something.
"If you could, could you keep Zack a secret about me having a toy?"
Danny stopped. His face was a little ugly, and he glanced back at Oz, "Why?"
"Because naturally, my toys were brought from the Feast, and right now, I don't want Zach to know that I brought some personal belongings from the Feast, hehe, especially this one. β
It's almost telling Danny that he has to tell Zach! But, Oz continuedβ
"Hehe, you can relax, you just don't want Zack to know, everyone else doesn't care, for example, well, Morellin knows, so, the wizards also know, and by the way, the Nophiles also know. Demons or angels? I don't know, but I don't care much about them. β
It seems a little convincing, but if you think about it, uh, do the other people know what Zack is about? Why don't you want Zack to know!
Now Danny has only one thought, 'This shouldn't have come in!'
"Hah, don't think so. Oz gestured to Danny's wallet, "This would be a perfect gift." I didn't ask you to lie to Zack, he didn't ask, you don't say, it's as simple as that. β
Danny didn't want to be invaded by the mind reader anymore and quickly left the place.
"Goodbye, Phantom Man~" The hand raised in the window was pressed down by Oz with a helpless face......
Straight to the end of Liszt Street, Danny stood still with a wrinkled face, looking at the wallet in his hand - it was still a display product, packaging, labels, nothing. Now after leaving the window with an adjustable visual effect, it looks like a stall......
Well, to be fair, it feels good to the touch, I don't know what high-grade cortex to use. The cut and stitching are delicately just right. Not to mention the 'Kozil' brand logo on the inside, which is also very textured. It's just that Danny, who is holding this wallet, is bothered by what has happened to this wallet.
Speaking of which, the phantom Danny is no different from those ordinary people who exude this inexplicable desire.
Forget it, Danny looked at the wallet in his hand, it's this gift, it's a pity to throw it away, find a gift point to wrap it.
With this decided, Danny turned around and prepared to continue his search on Liszt Street......
The tail-flicking car stopped directly at Danny's side, "You!" James popped his head out of the window, "Exactly!" Shaking his arm in emotion, "Use your phantom stuff, uh, I don't care what it is, fly or scatter! Find me someone!"
Danny raised an eyebrow, confused as the rich color wafting from James was enveloping him in a way that Danny had not wanted.
Like a light bulb that had been lit, overloaded, Danny exploded, and scattered streamers poured into the sky after James's last word exited.
"Uh, Danny?" James's eyes twitched as he looked at the wallet that had fallen to the ground with Danny's disappearance, "Danny?" "No one expects James, a human, to see the disembodied phantom, "*!" James himself reacted, pushing the car door in annoyance and picking up the wallet on the ground, "Tsk!" opened it and saw the 'Kozil' sign.
It's like a lead, once ignited, it can't be controlled. James returned to the car with a gloomy face, stared at the 'Kozil' sign on his wallet, slipped it into his pocket, and made a decision - driving directly in the direction of Kozil.
Well, well, how to describe it, there is a decision to grow, for a guy like James - whatever he wants to do when he suddenly rushes to Danny, this desire is left to the phantom man to fulfill, and James can do something else now. Growing up means that James knows how to use resources.
"Today must be my unlucky day. Oz, who was 'chatting' with the model behind the window, looked at James who had stopped in front of the store, straightened up, and posed in the same pose as the model next to him, "He can't see me, he can't see me, he can't see ...... Hehehe, this fool, you really didn't see me~"
James rushed straight to the back of the store. And the employees who had long found out that their boss was hiding in the window and pretending to be a model did not say a word.
"Oz!" "Oz!" James, as soon as he burst through the 'staff' door, began to shout, "Oz!where are you!" I know you 'heard' me coming!"
"I did 'hear' it. Morellin spilled his head at a doorway, "You're noisy." Be quiet, Mr. Detective. Oz promised me a quiet working environment. I don't need you to remind me again, I've been lied to. He retracted his head.
James was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips irritably.
Morelin's head stuck out again, "You're still noisy. β
"Well, then don't listen to my ......" What a stupid request, James himself was embarrassed to finish. It's like a neighbor playing loud music on a loudspeaker, what are you going to do? If you don't listen? No, you're going to call the police, 'Uncle police, someone is disturbing the people!'
There was a look of amusement on his outstretched face, "Detective, I haven't noticed that you have this kind of sense of humor before." β
James's face was distorted, hell, this kind of mind has been heard, mind readers are really a terrifying species!
"You better go, I've confirmed very much that the reason why you came is the same as the reason why Liszt came just now, is Liszt's case right. Morelin's head retracted again, "Oz won't see you." God knows what thought flashed through James's mind at this time, "You should listen to Zack's advice, he's right, don't bother Oz with this kind of thing, it will only embarrass him." β
"If he's so afraid of trouble, he shouldn't be duplicitous! No, duplicitous!"
"This, I agree, hehe, the current situation is his own fault. "It's quiet, I guess I don't want to pay attention to James.
James was about to say something, but Danny put it on James's face, "You do this again! I promise! I'll make you regret it, Detective!!! Zach can't stop me!"
Oh yes, James was looking for Kate, remember, he was going to share it with his girlfriend after he came back from the police station...... (To be continued.) )
