289. See the Boss
"Wow-wow-"
The crow hovered over the corpse of the King of Hearts, making a hoarse and obscure call.
Fanny preemptively said:
"Peloris, you decide. ”
Peloris looked at Hora:
"What do you think?"
Hola says:
"The most important thing for us now is to get out, but I don't know any way to get out of here. ”
Peloris nodded slightly, and what Hora said seemed to her to be a hint that she couldn't stay in this place for too long.
Inge asked:
"Pelores, where did you get these things, aren't there no people on the street?"
Peloris says:
"Although the vast majority of the city's inhabitants are hiding in their homes, they are still to eat and drink, and Queen Clown distributes guaranteed food every Wednesday night according to the number of people, while allowing some of those who have the resources to sell their own food at low prices.
But this is not enough for some people, such as wealthy merchants who do not want to sell food at a low price, and aristocrats who want to continue to enjoy food and hold banquets.
"So there are some underground exchanges in the city, which can also serve as an emergency to a certain extent, and that's where I found supplies. ”
Peloris did not explain how she knew about these things, nor did she say what she had traded for the food.
Peloris placed her backpack on the ground, took out four different masks from it, and handed them to several people:
"Put on your mask, everyone in the underground exchange must abide by this rule, and wait until you stand behind me, don't say anything, leave everything to me to negotiate, and don't say anything about it. ”
Fanny immediately agreed:
"Okay. ”
Hara took the bunny mask and put it on, Antotica's mask was an orangutan, Fanny's was a lion mask, and Inge was wearing a raven mask.
Pelores, on the other hand, did not wear a mask.
Antotica asked:
"Peloris, don't you wear a mask?"
Peloris smiled:
"They already know me. ”
Peloris led a few people down the street, turning around and around, and they confirmed that not only near the doorway, but everywhere the street was empty, except for the occasional noise in the houses on either side of the house to prove that there was still a glimmer of life here.
Peloris soon came to the outside of the back garden of a villa.
There was a wide metal fence gate in front of them, but for some reason the metal door was completely distorted and twisted, and it opened loosely.
Peloris walked straight inside.
Walking through the back garden, surrounded by statues and bushes, they came to an iron gate with movable windows.
Peloris gently slammed the iron door.
The movable window was pushed open, revealing a pair of amber pupils:
"It's you, and you dare to come back?"
Peloris was standing in front of the others, so they couldn't see Peloris's face.
From their point of view, Peloris just stood where she was, doing nothing, but a frightened voice came from behind the door:
"I'm sorry, I'll open the door. ”
Fanny realized that Peloris had them all stand behind her in order to resemble the situation.
The pair of amber pupils must have seen something they didn't know.
Once inside, they found that it had been completely transformed into a makeshift market, with masked merchants sitting on the ground with various goods in front of them, and many people walking around in front of the stalls.
But the moment they entered, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone looked at the unmasked girl and involuntarily shrank back, and even some of them swallowed.
Peloris looked at the man who let them in:
"I want to see your boss. ”
The owner of the amber pupils is a strong-headed man with a white mask on his face that only shows his eyes, and the mask has a half of a "spade" pattern on it.
But such an obviously fierce and strong man, 0 looked at Peloris with fear in his eyes.
This surprised both Inge and Antotica, for they could not comprehend the intimidation of this strong man towards a noble lady who was still in high school.
Fang Ning, on the other hand, was firm in his guess.
The strong man said nervously:
"Boss, Boss isn't here. ”
Peloris furrowed.
Hola reminded:
"He's lying. ”
Peloris turned to look at Hora and nodded.
Although she had told her not to speak, Hara was different.
Peloris took a step towards the man:
"If you don't take us there, I can find it myself. ”
The man said with an ugly expression:
"Then, then you wait for me here, and I'll go and inform the boss first, and see if he wants to see you?"
Hola says:
"He's not lying. ”
Inger and Antotica also discovered the anomaly between the two of them in hindsight, but they still remembered Peloris's instructions and did not ask questions at this time.
Peloris says:
"Go ahead. ”
The man ran away in a near-life-threatening manner.
Hara took advantage of this gap to observe the people around her, who wore various masks, but one mask was far more than the others.
Everywhere Hora looked, about a quarter of the people were wearing miserable white masks with only three black arcs on the masks.
There are two arcs that curve upwards and one arc that curves downwards, respectively at the position of the eyes and the mouth.
Smiley face mask.
Peloris whispered:
"Wait for everyone but Hara, and don't make a noise, or you may make the owner of this place aware of your vulnerability. ”
The three nodded.
Soon a man with a more slender figure walked up to them, and he was also wearing a folk mask with half a "spade".
The man bowed slightly in front of Peloris and said in a gentle voice:
"Your Excellency is waiting for you, please come with me. ”
The man respectfully led the way in front of them, leading them down a staircase, beside which two strong accomplices stood.
He did not look at his accomplices even once, but led the way with great dutiness, leading Peloris and them downward.
The man led them down three floors in a row before he walked up the stairs and into a slender hallway.
The corridor is unconventional in proportions, only two meters wide, but at least fifty meters at a glance.
The man who led the way stopped here:
"I can't move forward, you just have to keep moving forward. ”
With that, he turned and walked upstairs.
There are electric lights on the first and second floors, but this corridor is a little dark, only the torches on both sides emit a faint light.
Peloris was the first to walk down the eerie corridor.
Fanny looked at her back with a strange feeling.
Peloris seemed darker than the corridor itself, and the corridor was brighter than her.
