68. Suspicious person
Three Thousand Troubles stretched out his hand and lifted the lid of a plate of "delicacies" on the table.
The moment he saw that plate of delicacies, Yijian Changmeng's whole body stiffened, and his face instantly turned pale, but Lin Ziyue was indifferent, and the other few people who seemed to have already experienced this scene before were curiously paying attention to the reactions of the two, and they were all a little bored after seeing Lin Ziyue's reaction, but Yijian's reaction was more interesting.
Sanqian laughed evilly: "What's the matter, a sword?
A cage of meat buns picked up a fork from the table, poked at one of the "delicacies", some white things were squeezed out of the crack, looking even more disgusting, the bun inserted the silkworm chrysalis up, stretched out in front of a sword, looking at a sword speechless but his hands desperately swinging back and forth, indicating that he would never eat the mentality, and seemed to be forcibly suppressing the feeling of vomiting, and easily took the mints he just got, unpacked and threw them into his mouth, the buns on the table, Sanqian and Black and White Boy both laughed, and even the expression of the shadow dance eased a lot, but the gaze of Yijian was a little strange.
Lin Ziyue calmly picked up a fork, inserted a burnt silkworm chrysalis, and then calmly bit it into her mouth.
The eyes of the other people at the table almost ignited her, with uncertainty and strange panic, the black and white boy had a "as I expected" expression, and the shadow face was a little dark, covering his eyes and not looking again, but there was a kind of loveless expression on his face.
"It's delicious, why do you react so much?" Lin Ziyue said as she inserted another piece unsatisfactorily.
"I'm sorry, I ...... I'm not feeling well...... I'm going to the bathroom. Yijian's face became more and more pale, and after Sanqian got up and gave him a place, Yijian immediately grabbed the door and went out.
Baozi snorted: "Tsk, I can't see that Yijian is so small, he is actually afraid of this kind of thing...... Satsuki, you actually like to eat this?"
Lin Ziyue smiled embarrassedly and nodded: "Well, because there are a lot of strange snacks in my hometown." ”
Shadow shook her head, snatched the fork from her hand, and threw it back on the plate, "You better forget it, eat less strange things, this shop is different." ”
"Strange ......?" Lin Ziyue was a little puzzled, and the fork was taken away by the shadow, which made her a little depressed, and she rolled her eyes angrily, "Chef, you don't like insect dishes, just say it, but it's really not that delicious, and sure enough, the food you cook is delicious." ”
"Brother Shadow can cook for himself?" Black and White looked surprised.
The bun smacked his lips: "Tut-tut...... Xiaoying, can you, give us a shot next time in the phantom world?"
Shadow rolled her eyes, "Please allow me to refuse." ”
Jack interjected, "I remember ordering several dishes just now, why is it only serving one now?" Is there something normal...... It's hard to get the Xigan League, eat a little to replenish your strength, after all, I'm different from you. ”
"Ah, yes...... Jack is ...... I'll go outside and urge it. Lin Ziyue said this, and was stopped when she walked to the door.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you, I have a question for the restaurateur. The shadow said this, and Sanqian got up again in the midst of grumbling, and let the shadow come out so that he could walk to the door.
"What's wrong?Is there anything wrong with this restaurant?" Lin Ziyue went out with the shadow, and the two walked side by side in the hallway.
Shadow frowned, "It's about this thing." ”
The shadow spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand were two candies that had been stripped of their transparent packaging, and the two mints were glowing with a fresh light green under the light, which made people feel the urge to swallow it in one bite.
"This seems to be just a regular mint, right?"
"It was supposed to be like this...... But there are some substances that are not legal in reality, if it weren't for Jack's family inheritance of plant induction, I wouldn't have thought that someone would dare to experiment with the practical effects of plants in the fantasy world, this thing may be addictive, even if it is only possible, but this has also violated my personal moral bottom line, the fantasy world official has no restrictions, it is to encourage players to live freely here, the life that cannot be lived in reality, but ......"
"This kind of thing that may produce an underground industrial chain, sure enough, forget it, that boss is really suspicious when you look at it this way!" Lin Ziyue continued, and then took out his mint candy, "Then this will also be used as evidence for you." ”
Shadow laughed: "No, it's not about whether there is evidence or not, the key here is how they got it." ”
Lin Ziyue looked a little worried: "It seems that I ate a sword just now, is it okay?"
"It should be harmless to us, this thing has no technical purification, it can only be processed simply, and it must be eaten in large quantities. Shadow's face was a little depressed, "It's easy to say if they are self-employed, but if there are black lines behind the scenes, I'm afraid this time I will have to go beyond the 'player' status I said I would have." ”
"Poof, didn't you think you were such a righteous person before?" Lin Ziyue felt that such a persistent shadow was actually a little cute.
The shadow looked serious: "This is not a sense of justice, it can only be said to be a sense of responsibility." ”
In a few words, the two of them had already gone down to the first floor, but at the reception desk, the mysterious shopkeeper was no longer there, replaced by a young man dressed as a waiter, and the pair of different-colored eyes made Lin Ziyue can't help but look a few more times, he saw Lin Ziyue and the shadow going downstairs, and immediately stepped forward to ask: "May I have anything to serve the two of you?"
"What about your boss?" Shadow's eyes narrowed slightly, and Lin Ziyue knew that this was a sign of his dissatisfaction.
"Ah, Lord Gu took a special guest to the toilet at the back door, because ordinary guests don't have this kind of need, so for the convenience of the waiters, the toilet is installed in the back...... Do you need someone to take you with you?" said the young man politely, his eyes looking like those of a Persian cat.
"Oh, it's okay, can you show us the way? The shadow replied.
"Okay, you two go out of the restaurant and go to the right, then turn right, just go in the alley against the wall, there is a sign outside the toilet, then I won't take the two of you over, I have to receive the next guest here." ”
The shadow walked out of the restaurant first, and seemed to be a little anxious, and after Lin Ziyue thanked the strange-looking waiter, she also hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked inside one after the other along the alley, because if the two of them were walking side by side, it was really a little crowded here, and the shadow deliberately slowed down a few points in front of him, maintaining a similar speed as Lin Ziyue.
But after the two walked for half a minute, they didn't actually reach the end of the alley, but there was a strange sound in their ears, Lin Ziyue and the shadow didn't speak, the two of them invariably raised their vigilance, the shadow had his usual dagger in his hand, Lin Ziyue raised his hand, and also summoned his staff.
The shadow tilted her head slightly, and after seeing Lin Ziyue also take out her staff, she swallowed what she wanted to say, she didn't seem to be as careless as she imagined.
The strange sound seemed to be a moan, but on closer inspection, it was actually a mixture of two voices, not just moaning, but a second person humming a little song softly, even as if laughing at the moaning man.
After walking a few steps, Lin Ziyue could vaguely recognize one of the voices: "Shadow? That moaning sound seems to be ......."
"Well, it seems to be a sword, let's speed it. After the shadow finished speaking, her figure immediately rushed forward, Lin Ziyue patted it on her wrist, and a pair of butterfly wings stretched behind her, flying forward directly with her, barely able to catch up with the speed of the shadow.
In just a few seconds, the earthen walls and brick walls around them quickly swept behind the two of them, and the length of the alley far exceeded their expectations, and at this moment, it seems that the so-called "back door toilet" is probably more like a lie.
At this time, Lin Ziyue and Shadow were full of questions: Why?
The two crossed the distance for a moment, and finally heard the humming sound clearly, and Lin Ziyue immediately reacted: "Little star?"
"What's small?" asked Shadow, slowing down.
Lin Ziyue slowed down a little with him, and also hummed softly: "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars." ”
"What is this?" Shadow frowned, as if she hadn't really heard of the ballad.
"It's an old ballad, I don't remember who I've sung it, haven't you heard it?" Lin Ziyue looked a little surprised.
"Hmph...... Who called me a man without a childhood. The shadow said casually, and then motioned to Lin Ziyue to silence, the two of them were close to the corner of the wall, and they could clearly hear the voices of the two people coming from behind, and the two of them could barely see one person lying on the ground, with heavy chains wrapped around his body, and the other person was standing with his back to this side, the hat on his head had already explained his identity, and he hummed the tune of the little star, as if he admired the painful appearance of a sword.
The shadow pointed at himself, gestured his fist at the figure with his back, then pointed at Lin Ziyue, pointed to a sword and turned around, Lin Ziyue nodded, and then the two of them rushed out at the same time.
The shadow rushed towards the figure with his back to him, he jumped up directly, and put one knee on the man's back, the man's body was soft, and bent forward with the top of the shadow, but then his feet slid down, and he flew backwards instead, and the body that shifted to the left just missed the dagger that the shadow fell with his backhand, and the shadow was also startled, when he was attacked by a sneak attack from behind, it was the first time he saw a player who reacted so quickly, most people don't pay attention to physical skills in the fantasy world, but will deliberately pursue gorgeous long-range effects and luxurious equipment, configuration, such as three thousand can fight with him inextricably, they are already a few percent of the only masters in the phantom world, this unattractive shop owner, actually has such skills? This makes him even more suspicious.
Lin Ziyue rushed to Yijian's side, and immediately noticed the layers of chains on Yijian's body, these chains with the thickness of his forearms were not only tied to him, but even a few of them penetrated Yijian's shoulders and waist, Lin Ziyue was thrilled to see, and Yijian didn't seem to see her at all, his eyes were tightly closed, except for the occasional moaning sound from the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be completely unaware of anything that was happening in front of him.
Ichijian is in such a state, and I don't know what damage it will cause if I move, but I really can't stay here...... Lin Ziyue opened the channel of the mercenary team and quickly sent out a message "Go out !!!!!!!!"
At this critical moment, Lin Ziyue found that she didn't have any healing skills at all, and she couldn't help but feel worried, and then she took out an apple to replenish her strength, stuck it directly into the mouth of a sword, and then carried a sword on her back, thanks to the weight in the illusory world has been cut too much, and a big man on her back plus a bunch of chains, for Lin Ziyue at this time, she can barely hold on.
The shadow on the other side, the dagger on his right hand danced in the air with a cold light, forcing the restaurant owner wearing a hat to retreat step by step, but the restaurant owner simply used his outer arm to block the shadow's attack, whether it was reaction or speed, the two were comparable, but the shadow could feel that the restaurant owner was resisting and dodging from beginning to end, passively bearing the shadow's attack, as if he was unwilling to shoot with the shadow, and was worried about something.
When Lin Ziyue passed by the two of them with a sword on her back, she seemed to hear a faint chuckle coming from under the fluttering scarf of the hat.
The shadow's offensive went further, his eyes became colder and colder, and there were bursts of cold air on the dagger, but the shadow didn't seem to notice it, and the dagger in his hand went up directly, completely overturning the restaurant owner's hat, revealing a pale face with no blood, gray hair in a bun, but his face looked like he was only in his twenties, his eyes were as slender pupils as cats, his yellow eyes looked very different from ordinary people, and a scar on his neck was the length of an index finger, which looked extremely conspicuous.
The restaurant owner seemed to be a little annoyed by the shadow's action, wiped his left hand around his waist, and actually pulled out a magic wand more than ten centimeters long, so that the shadow's movements were subconsciously slowed down a little, he thought that the restaurant owner's body was practiced in close combat, but this growth weapon is clearly the school of mages, a master of melee combat with a magic wand......?
Oh no, once he uses his magic, he doesn't have any way to resist at all.
The moment the shadow realized this, he immediately stepped back, directly turned on the stealth state, retreated to the other side of the corner, suppressed his rapid breathing, and stared at the restaurateur's every move.
The shopkeeper spun around, but the shadow didn't even leave any trailing marks or footprints on the ground, and he stepped on the ground a few times in hatred...... It's really boring, all the senses here are weakened, it's no different from humans, it's really. ”
Shadow's heart jumped, what did the restaurant owner say just now? "It's no different from a human", isn't this guy a human? But he is not a character in the fantasy world, because he took out his wand after opening his bag just now, could it be that he is also a foreign race?
Do these guys appear one after the other, or do they hide from themselves all the time?
The shadow was a little uncertain, he quickly opened the chat interface and glanced at the chat interface of the mercenary channel, and found that a group of people had left the magic dragon restaurant, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Ziyue's latest message had just been sent:
Moon Shadow in the Forest: I took everyone into the Walk, and once the Shadow gets out of there, come here!!
Shadow Dance: I'm coming
