Chapter 60: Miss Yun, Delicate and Weak

"Um, can I pay with a Credit Card?"

Yun Mu did not have that much cash on her, so she took out her Credit Card and asked the middle-aged man in front of her.

"Are you talking about that card the Frost Bank recently introduced that can store money?" the other party asked.

"Yes."

"Wait a moment, I remember it being right here..."

The middle-aged man recalled for a moment, then led Yun Mu to a square brass machine.

"You know how to use this, right?" After arriving in front of the machine, the other party looked at Yun Mu and asked.

"Uh, I do."

Yun Mu looked at the machine in front of her, which was similar in style to the ATM inside the Frost Bank, and nodded.

"With this thing sitting here, aren't you afraid of it being robbed?"

She placed her ID card and Credit Card into the slots on either side of the machine and remarked.

"No, because there's no money in here at all."

Hearing Yun Mu's words, the middle-aged man explained to her: "The money that comes out of this machine is actually transported remotely using the city's public intercom pipes."

"According to the people who came to the shop to install the machine last time... anyway, hardly anyone uses the public intercoms usually, so we might as well find a way to make use of these pipes."

"This..." Yun Mu was momentarily speechless.

During the time the two were chatting, the machine slowly spat out the Gold Frost Coins one by one from the exit.

By the end, after the two verified the amount, the purchase was considered complete.

"How much does it cost to transport these pieces of furniture?" Yun Mu asked as she watched the shop employees pack up the furniture she had purchased one by one.

"There is no charge for transport." The middle-aged man smiled at her and said, "Do you need it delivered now?"

"Now probably won't work..." Yun Mu thought for a moment and said, "Can you deliver it at four o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Although there were likely no customers in the cafe at this time, it was still business hours after all, so it was better not to disturb Edward and Lita.

And she still had to go find Brenna in the evening, so...

"Four in the morning? No problem," the middle-aged man replied.

"Phew, thank you," Yun Mu expressed her gratitude.

After agreeing on the time and location with the middle-aged man, Yun Mu left the furniture store.

She returned to the Sisilaiya Cafe and informed Edward that she had purchased the furniture.

"I see. Do you need any help?" After hearing Yun Mu's words, Edward chuckled twice and asked.

"No, no need," Yun Mu waved her hand.

"The workers from the furniture store will help me move it up," she said.

Actually, even without the furniture store workers, she could probably move the furniture up by herself.

After all, her panel attack power, excluding equipment, was already at 16 points.

And her bare-handed attack power basically depended on her strength...

If she returned to Earth, she would probably be the type of little superhuman who could blast a car door off with one punch.

Even if a security door were placed in front of her, she wouldn't need a key or to pick the lock; she would only need one kick to break the lock.

With this kind of strength, moving a bit of furniture was a piece of cake.

"Dad, I'm back!"

Just at this moment, Lita suddenly pushed open the cafe door and shouted.

She looked as if she had just finished exercising; a towel used for wiping sweat hung on her shoulder, and traces of sweat remained on her fair neck and delicate collarbone.

"Welcome back."

Edward glanced at Lita, then looked at Yun Mu, and said, "Since you two are both here, I'll say something."

"When you go out recently, don't go to unfamiliar places, and don't go too far from Liuli Street. If you must go out, be sure to be careful."

"Did something happen?" Hearing Edward's words, Lita immediately became somewhat serious and asked.

"Yes."

Edward nodded and said, "A large group of people died the night before last on Oak Street, near Yongle Street."

"The corpses all appeared as dried corpses, with Scarlet spots covering their skin."

"Isn't this..." Lita was lost in thought.

"It is the work of the culprit behind the Dried Corpse Murder Case," Edward confirmed her thoughts.

"Damn it!" Lita slammed the table and said indignantly, "What are the Captain and the people from the Church doing? How have they not caught the culprit yet?"

Your captain is only one person, and the Church is investigating itself—how could they possibly catch anyone?

Yun Mu, standing to the side, kept her head down, not daring to speak.

Thanks to the Legendary Necklace Brenna gave her, which could block all prophecy, detection, and Perception spells, she was truly afraid that as the only Survivor of that night, she would be detected by someone using Supernatural means.

However, thinking that this necklace was a gift from Brenna, and that Brenna was going to investigate the Local Church, and that she herself was now a Bloodline—theoretically, she was on the same side as the Local Church that had already apostatized...

Oh no, hasn't this turned into me investigating myself again?

Yun Mu felt a massive headache, but didn't know what to do, so she could only try to maintain the status quo and see if there was any way to break the deadlock.

"It's about time, let's get ready to eat," Edward's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Yay, food, food!" Lita said happily.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time."

Yun Mu watched Lita, who was skipping along behind Edward into the kitchen, and sighed slightly to herself.

After dinner, it was the rush hour for the white-collar workers of Liuli Street to get off work.

Yun Mu put on her waiter uniform and worked in the cafe as usual, not expecting that an unexpected guest would arrive that afternoon.

Neisen, who never appeared in the cafe in the afternoon, actually walked into the shop today, and he even brought his daughter Tina with him.

"One coffee, one milkshake, plus a piece of..." Neisen paused and looked at Tina, who was tugging at his pant leg and had been 'shyly' hiding behind him ever since they entered the cafe.

"Tina, is there anything you want to eat?"

Yun Mu was also watching Tina with her heterochromatic eyes, waiting for her answer.

"No, nothing!" Tina hid even further into the area behind Neisen.

"Then let's add a toasted waffle," Neisen said with some helplessness.

"Alright."

Yun Mu suppressed a laugh as she noted down the desserts Neisen ordered.

She still did not expose Tina's identity in class today; after all, if possible, she still did not want other children to know that she and Tina knew each other.

Because this might bring some inconvenience to Tina.

It is not just children; adults are the same. Once one is different from the people around them, they are easily ostracized by others. This is probably what is meant by not fitting in.

Taking advantage of a bit of free time, Yun Mu chatted with Neisen for a few moments.

It turned out that after Neisen got off work every day, the first thing he did was not go home, but go to the Painter Association to pick up Tina, which is why Yun Mu never encountered him in the cafe during the afternoon rush.

As for the morning, Neisen also took Tina to the Painter Association very early before going to work, and they just happened to pass by the cafe on the way.
