Chapter 59: The Dancing Girl (11)
Hearing Ye Lan say this, Nancy's face was flustered, she just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Lan, she stared at Nancy's eyes, and emphasized: "I'm very interested in that thing." ”
Ye Lan was a little anxious, she had a feeling that the "most precious thing" had a decisive role in the completion of this task, she didn't have the heart to play any wits with Nancy now, she used some means in order to get things in her hands as soon as possible.
Nancy stood there stiff, feeling like she was surrounded by a cold aura, as if she had returned to ...... Fragments of memories came to mind, blood-stained knives, stumps scattered in the streets, swollen corpses soaked in seawater...... It turned out that he was ......
Nancy took a few deep breaths, tried to regain her composure, and said, "That's what you said, wait a minute." After speaking, he turned around and went back to the shack, and carefully lowered the curtain, and did not mean to invite Ye Lan into the house.
Ye Lan touched her nose, it seems that she scared this little girl, too, her own reason is not tenable at all, what are you kidding, the slums have always been known for chaos, and they are not central neighborhoods, can you know that she lives here by asking? Ye Lan also knew that she was a little too eager, but she really couldn't take care of it at this time, she had to get her hands on that thing.
It was five or six minutes before Nancy came out, with a watch in her hand, and said, "This is what I won that day." ”
Ye Lan took it and looked at it, and said, "Can you give it to me?" ”
Nancy said, "Of course, it was originally won by the chips you gave me. ”
Ye Lan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you." ”
Nancy said expressionlessly, "It's nothing. As he spoke, he was going back to the house.
At this time, Ye Lan suddenly asked, "By the way, Nancy, which way did you go home last night?" ”
Hearing this, Nancy, who was facing away from Ye Lan, showed a slightly weird smile and said, "I'm walking on Green Street and Fourth Street. ”
Ye Lan said, "Okay, thank you." ”
……
Ye Lan played with the watch that was just coming back and walked briskly towards Fourth Street. Nancy lied to her, the watch was not at all the so-called "most precious thing". This is an old-fashioned mechanical watch, big, even a little clumsy, it looks a little old, it seems to be an antique, but Ye Lan knows that this thing has no collectible value, but because it is outdated, no one wants it at all. That thing was won by Nancy as a bargaining chip, but this kind of watch is not worth anything at all, without any collateral value, how can it be used as a bargaining chip?
Ye Lan was thinking in her heart while observing her surroundings, why did Nancy lie to herself? Do you want to keep it for yourself? This should be unlikely, otherwise she wouldn't have offered to offer to win a good thing last night. If it is not privately swallowed, then there are two possibilities, one is lost, and the other is thrown away. Guessing from common sense, Nancy should have been lost, and if this is the case, Ye Lan will probably never be able to get it back. Fortunately, there is another possibility, that thing was thrown away by Nancy, and it was thrown away on the way home. It sounds unlikely, why did Nancy throw it? After all, I won it myself, so how can I exchange it for some money.
To think about this question clearly, you must clarify the identity of this girl who appeared in front of you inexplicably, who is she? Ye Lan already had some guesses about this, but she wasn't very sure yet.
When passing by a garbage heap, a golden light was reflected, and Ye Lan showed a hint of a smile, sure enough, it was here.
It was a beautiful and ornate pocket watch with a layer of gold plating. Ye Lan was about to walk over, a little boy in tattered clothes suddenly came out, picked up the pocket watch and ran, it seems that he also saw that this is a good thing that can be exchanged for bread, life is already difficult, of course you can't let go of a good thing out of thin air, with this thing, you and your sister can live a few more days.
Dare to snatch food? Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes turned into pure ink, she didn't have time to pretend to be a good person now. With a rough and powerful mental impact, the head of the little boy who was running desperately exploded, like a broken watermelon, red and white scattered all over the ground, and the boy's body staggered a few steps before falling.
Ye Lan walked over, took the pocket watch from the little boy's hand, and looked left and right, a little girl shrunk in the corner, looking at herself in horror. She was weak and emaciated, her face was dirty, she was wearing an extremely wide tattered garment, her legs were shrunken, and she looked disabled. Seeing the terrible demon coming towards her, the girl screamed and crawled desperately into the distance, ignoring the sharp gravel on the ground and cutting her hand out of blood......
This matter is really not suitable for others to know, Ye Lan thought to herself, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off her hands, and threw it into the garbage heap.
After dealing with the matter, Ye Lan began to study her gains, she opened the pocket watch, checked it carefully, and found nothing.
Isn't this pocket watch at all? Ye Lan was a little uneasy, she wanted to take the pocket watch apart and take a look, but she didn't have the right tools in her hand, so she had no choice but to smash it open. In the broken mechanical components, Ye Lan turned out a small piece of paper. The material of the piece of paper is extremely light and thin, with an ancient character written on it - "rotten", and some mysterious symbols are drawn around, and more importantly, this small piece of paper exudes a faint magic fluctuation, this is a mission with an urban background, here Ye Lan did not find any supernatural places, obviously, this is what he wants to find.
Ye Lan let out a long sigh of relief, but soon, her face became a little ugly, because she thought of a problem: if she came a few minutes late, this clue would be completely broken, and through the way she obtained this clue, she found that her judgment on this task was fundamentally wrong.
Ye Lan had always thought that the reason why some trialists would be stranded on this island and unable to return to the space was because the clues to complete the mission were hidden so deep that they had not found them for so many years. But now it seems that she may have guessed wrong, and it is not very difficult to find the clue to complete the task and return to space, but this clue is time-sensitive. If Ye Lan had come a few minutes late, she might have lost this clue forever, and if she hadn't reacted in time, she might not have known that she had lost the opportunity to return to space.
There is no time limit for this quest, but the clues to complete the quest are time-bound, and once you miss it, you will never be able to return to space unless you ...... Unless you snatch a clue from the next trialist.
Ye Lan frowned tightly and left here quickly. At this time, Nancy came out of a corner, looked at the poor girl who was separated from her head, frowned slightly, and said to herself, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”
