Fifty The Tiger and the Snake
On January 5, 2021, at 3:12 p.m., an abandoned factory somewhere on the outskirts of Yongping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no point in the existence of such a thing as an abandoned factory. From a practical point of view, its existence can only show a certain trend that once existed in society, and then there is the procrastination of municipal management...... From the perspective of the first and second dimensions, their existence is to serve as a stronghold for the underworld, to provide a place for kidnapping, and perhaps to provide a place for the final battle......
All in all, once a place like an abandoned factory appears in a novel, anime, and comics, something not very good happens. Whether or not it is due to the fact that abandoned factories themselves are inaccessible and inaccessible to the living, they are often described without careful consideration, and simply follow conventions.
This abandoned factory has the characteristics of both Formula 1 and Formula 2.
First of all, it is a stronghold of the underworld. "Strategist, you're back?" A young man with a haircut and a thug shape stood in the shadow of the entrance with a steel pipe, and said hello when he saw the thin young man who walked in.
"Ah~ I'm back-didn't I say that? Just call me Xiao Yi~" Xiao Yi didn't fail to see the other party's contemptuous and playful attitude of calling "military advisor", but he didn't think much about it, just responded with a bright smile, as if the other party was greeting him respectfully, and nodded kindly.
"......" The thug's face distorted instantly, but it wasn't until Xiao Yi walked away that he spat and scolded in a suppressed voice, "Phew, what the hell." Do you really think of yourself as a character? The boss too, he didn't care much about it before, I don't know why, I suddenly looked up to this little kid in the past two days. β
Whether or not Xiao Yat heard the scolding that caused a lot of echoes in the empty abandoned factory, he didn't react to it, but walked up the stairs covered with dust and building materials and rubbish up to the second floor and into a room.
Unlike the dirty and messy environment outside, the interior of the room is neatly furnished, very tasteful, and even a little luxurious. A middle-aged man who was not tall, with knotted muscles, thick eyebrows and big eyes revealing a fierce aura, was lying on his back on the recliner, his feet were crossed on the mahogany desk, and when he heard the door, he didn't move, but said calmly: "Military advisor? β
"Yo~Boss Lin Hu~" Xiao Yi's every sentence ended with a trill, combined with the smile on his face that almost closed his eyes, as if he would be happy no matter what he said, "How is it?" How did you think about the last time? β
"To be honest, I'm still not quite accepting that you're from another world - the 'player' thing." Lin Hu put away his feet, sat up, and crossed his hands across his eyebrows, "However, since you can indeed be resurrected at a fixed point, the fact that you are not an ordinary person has been confirmed-and Mr. Lin Qing's words also confirm your statement, and the most important thing is-"
"On TV, on the radio, on the Internet, and even in the newspapers, there are reports that the world is a game. If this is just a joke against you, it would be exaggerated, right? Xiao Yat spread his hands and laughed as if he was telling a very funny joke, "Your judgment is correct - but this kind of development is really very surprising~"
"Hmm." Lin Hu's hands were crossed on the bridge of his nose, and his head nodded slightly, "Mr. Lin Qing only said to us before, 'The world will change, and all kinds of visions, many strange people, and all kinds of strange things will come to the world. Such inexplicable words -- I really didn't expect it to be like this, 'the world is going to change.'" β
Xiao Yi's face twitched, and his hand subconsciously rested on his stomach - obviously, something before had left a deep psychological shadow on him, and then, although Xiao Yi still had a bright smile on his face, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with such a nondescript expression: "Boss Lin Hu, you have a 'Mr. Lin Qing' - you respect him very much?" β
"yes." Lin Hu nodded again, ignoring Xiao Yi's somewhat green face, and said to himself, "Mr. Lin Qing saved my lifeβand only on the premise that I had committed a vicious attempt to kill him, uh, a body under his control. If it weren't for Mr. Lin Qing, I would just be a ghost floating in the copy of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang now. Mr. Lin Qing himself is a genius beyond ordinary people, capable of what others cannot, this is reasonable. It is natural for me to respect Mr. Lin Qing. β
Xiao Yi's squinted eyes opened slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "Then, what do you mean-"
"Don't get me wrong. I respect Mr. Lin Qing, this is one thing; It's another thing for me to choose to cooperate with you, adopt your plan, and betray Mr. Lin Qing. There is nothing related to these two. The corners of Lin Hu's mouth suddenly raised a chilling sneer, and there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant all over his body, "I adopted your plan." β
"Huh?" Xiao Yi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Lin Hu with a strange gaze for a long time, frowning and thinking, muttering and calculating repeatedly, and after a long time, he said in a strange tone, "Uh, then, that's it......"
"You don't understand?" Lin Hu showed a 'kind' smile that could scare crying children, "It's very simple. In the current environment, it is clear that the 'players' camp is much more dominant than us natives. As human beings, you can be resurrected indefinitely, have physical functions far stronger than most natives, and possess 'magic', right? β
"More importantly, this is our home field, it doesn't belong to you, even if the world is devastated, you don't care, and you come and go freely in this world, for now, we can't find a way to get to you. This means that you, as a strong man, can have no scruples - what else can I do against such a strong opponent? β
ββ¦β¦ Decisive battle to the end? Xiao Yi was still frowning, but laughed again.
"Haha, I'm sure Mr. Lin Qing will also understand my choice. After all, in my opinion, Mr. Lin Qing is not a person with strong beliefs, and the reason why he organized a group of people to fight against the players like this is probably because he thinks it will be more fun. Lin Hu still maintained his previous posture and smiled.
"Huh?" Whenever Lin Hu mentioned Lin Qing, Xiao Yi's expression would be very rich, "I believe that guy is a psychopath, but will he really understand your choice?" You betrayed him, how kind would he be? β
"No, why don't you always know the difference? Mr. Lin Qing can understand me, it doesn't mean that he will forgive me, let alone that he will treat me as his own - it is Mr. Lin Qing's words, it is possible for me to be shot after nodding his head in approval. Lin Hu smiled heartily and boldly, "Haha, all in all, the impact of personal feelings on his behavior is really not that big." β
"......" Xiao Yi was silent for a while, shook his head, and once again showed a smile as sincerely happy as a child receiving a gift, "Ah, after all, I'm not an adult, and I don't need to be so clear about these twists and turns of your adults, right?" Anyway, what do you mean is that whatever you're thinking, things will go the way I think things will go? β
Lin Hu laughed again: "If you expect me to definitely do it according to your plan, then yes." Do you want to inspect the goods? β
"Inspection?" Xiao Yileng paused for a moment, and then laughed, "This is - your side, this, is this a kind of 'black talk'?" What an interesting statement. However, before I 'inspect the goods', I have one more thing to say. β
"Oh, strategist, please." Lin Hu smiled and nodded.
"Well, you're learning Commander Ikari in this pose, aren't you? Then don't laugh so boldly! The sense of disobedience is very strong! β
"This is a common action that I think about. Commander Ikari, who is that? Why should I learn from him? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Five minutes later, another room on the second floor of the abandoned factory was obviously much more depressed and dilapidated than Lin Hu's office, and it was very cramped, and it was originally mostly used as a utility storage room. After the thugs took over the place, they still used it as a storage room, but instead of clutter, they stored it - people.
"This, Miss Zhang Lanhua, is it?" Lin Hu made a very gentle gesture, smiled and greeted the woman who was tied up and thrown on the ground, or the girl, "You've been here for two or three days, haven't you?" How's it going? β
Zhang Lanhua - that is, the gangster girl who joined the NPC team formed by Lin Qing after the previous copy of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there were no obvious scars on her face, her clothes were not damaged, and although she looked haggard, there were no obvious signs of dehydration or hunger, which showed that she was not too seriously abused-however, when she saw Lin Hu, she just shrank up in fear, trembling all over, and did not dare to say a word.
"Huh? Am I so scary? Lin Hu was always wearing a plain and clean suit, but he didn't seem to care much about the outfit, he sat cross-legged on the ground with a grin, raised his left hand to support his head with the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "Looking at it this way, your answer seems to be 'not good'." Because you see, no matter how terrible I am, if your answer is 'yes', I will answer, right? β
Zhang Lanhua's lips trembled, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her head: "Okay-okay, okay......"
"I see. It's true that the conditions here are not very good, and if you can grudgingly accept it, it will be the best. If you don't entertain well, please forgive me. Lin Hu nodded, and there was no terrible look on his face, as if he was talking to a friend who came to his house as a guest, "By the way, are you willing to say it?" Mr. Lin Qing, what exactly do you want to do? β
"Lin - Lin Qing him, he gave me 100,000 yuan, let me go back, tell the people in the village, I have a good job, and then invite everyone to a meal, tell everyone that I am doing well-" Zhang Lanhua pursed her lips, repeated the words repeated many times in the past few days, and repeated them again, but only half of what she said, the moment Lin Hu frowned, she closed her mouth.
"Mr. Lin Qing, why did you do this?" Lin Hu frowned for only a moment, then asked again with a smile.
"He-he promised me." Zhang Lanhua trembled again for some reason, "At that time, in exchange for me lending his body, he promised to help me get out of that place, and then, help me repay the villagers, and finally, take me to live an exciting life, I-I hoped...... New, a better life. β
"It doesn't sound like you made it up. Only Mr. Lin Qing likes to use so many modifiers in a sentence. Lin Hu's smile was much kinder, even his face full of flesh became honest, Zhang Lanhua also seemed to relax a little, and looked at Lin Hu for a long time with a somewhat strange expression.
"That, that," Zhang Lanhua seemed to feel that the atmosphere had eased a lot, and took the initiative to speak, "I, I-"
"Well, do you have anything to ask? Don't be afraid, it's okay, please say it. Lin Hu's attitude was very kind, and he was talking to Zhang Lanhua on an equal footing - if you didn't consider that Zhang Lanhua was being tied up and thrown on the ground.
"This, you-aren't you too, Lin Qing's, someone in the team? Why ......"
Lin Hu's expression remained unchanged and listened, but Zhang Lanhua's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared. After waiting for a while, Lin Hu confirmed that Zhang Lanhua didn't plan to continue, so he opened his mouth to respond: "Why did you arrest you?" Well, what do you think if I say that this is Mr. Lin Qing's arrangement to fulfill your desire for a 'life full of excitement'? β
"Well, then I don't want it! I don't need this wish, please, please let me go! Zhang Lanhua suddenly tried to stand up, but her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell to the ground again, shouting with some excitement, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"How is that possible? What are you thinking? Although Mr. Lin Qing thinks he is not a good person, if you know that you think he will do such a thing, he will probably be very unhappy? Lin Hu laughed again, stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, pushed the door and walked outside, saying as he walked, "I grabbed you for my personal reasons, as for this reason, you can think for yourself." β
Zhang Lanhua froze there, the expression on her face seemed to be fear, and as if she was desperate, staring at the closed door for more than a minute, and suddenly broke down and cried...... Although she herself knew that in a cramped room in the darkness and desertion, no amount of crying could reach the ears of the gods, where only the devil could hear the cry.
"Big sister?" A short, thin figure looked left and right beside the door that opened a crack at some point, like a child trying to do something bad - this person seemed to be a child by his appearance, "Why are you crying here?" β
"Huh?" Zhang Lanhua, who was still crying, felt a little flustered when she saw a person suddenly come in, and subconsciously prepared to tidy it up, only to remember that she was in a state of being tied up, smiled awkwardly, and did not speak again.
The young man pushed the door open a little more, took two steps inside, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Big sister, why are you tied up here?" Who did it? β
Without waiting for Zhang Lanhua to respond, the young man asked himself: "Uh-no one dares to use this place without permission." Did Boss Lin Hu lock you up here? Did you do anything to offend Boss Lin Hu? β
Zhang Lanhua nodded, then shook her head again, and then frowned, as if she wanted to speak.
The young man already understood: "Boss Lin Hu locked you up here, but you haven't done anything to offend him, right?" Well, maybe that's kidnapping. What's in it for Boss Lin Hu to kidnap you - ah, sorry, you're still tied up, now is not the time to think about these things. Well, why don't I untie the rope for you - will someone else come during this time? β
"No, it won't." Zhang Lanhua shook her head, "Well, I don't know very well, but it shouldn't be." In the past two days, except for Lin Hu, who has come twice, only the person who delivered the food has come back. I'm not very hungry right now - so no one will come. β
"Delivering food? Didn't the big sister try to run away during the meal? The boy asked a little innocently.
ββ¦β¦ I won't be untied when I eat. Zhang Lanhua bit her lower lip.
"Then how do you eatβ" The young man saw Zhang Lanhua's expression and changed the subject awkwardly, "Ahh β
Two minutes later, the young man was so tired and sweaty that he finally untied the rope on Zhang Lanhua's body and breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew-it's not easy to untie the rope in such a dark." Big sister, let's get out of here! β
ββ¦β¦ Is there no one to guard outside? Zhang Lanhua sat on the ground for a while, frowning.
"Ahh I forgot......" the boy looked embarrassed, "there's no one at the door. But the entrances to the factory are guarded...... So what do we do? β
Zhang Lanhua looked at the young man, sighed, and smiled: "Compared to that kind of thing, who are you?" Why is it here? β
"Ah, I'm just a normal high school dropout. Because I think ** is very handsome, I am now a handyman under Lin Hu's boss. But it's just a now, and I'm sure I'll be able to achieve something great in the future! When the boy said this, a smile like the morning sun bloomed on his face, and the light of hope in his eyes was so real that it almost illuminated the room.
"You-" Seeing the young man, Zhang Lanhua seemed to see her past self, she wanted to persuade her, for example, to ask rhetorically, "What kind of great career do you want to achieve?" However, he hesitated for a moment, and somehow, finally just smiled and nodded, "Isn't that great?" So what are you doing here? β
"Adventure!" The young man's smile was spotless, "I've been following Boss Lin Hu for so long, and I've never turned our base properly, so today Boss Lin Hu gave me a holiday, and I'm going to take an adventure!" As a result, I saw the imprisoned big sister at the first stop of the adventure, which is almost like the protagonist of an adventure story! β
"Poof-" Zhang Lanhua suddenly laughed, laughing wildly.
"Big sister, are you laughing at me!" The boy said as if he was a little angry.
"No, I just think what you said makes sense, haha." Zhang Lanhua smiled really happily, "So, my cute little hero, is there anything you can do to save me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Uh, this ......" teenager's expression became very embarrassed.
"Haha, don't worry." Zhang Lanhua showed a bright smile, "Thank you for helping me loosen the tie for a while, I feel much more comfortable now!" Actually, there's nothing wrong with staying here, there is food and drink, and there is no special abuse. β
"......" The young man lowered his head, his eyebrows tightly locked, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Zhang Lanhua stretched out her hand and paused in the air, as if to relieve the previous feeling of soreness, and then pressed it on the young man's head and rubbed it a few times: "Thank you." Big sister only needs this to be enough, and I'll trouble you to tie me up as it is, hard work for you. β
The young man's face suddenly twisted a few times, and then showed a smile that seemed to be squeezed out: "Ha......"
Then no one said another word until ten minutes later.
"Ahh I've got it! The boy suddenly shouted excitedly.
"What comes to mind?" Zhang Lanhua was startled by the young man's sudden movement.
"I've figured out a way to get you out!" The boy looked incredibly excited and excited.
"What?" Zhang Lanhua smiled gently, but did not appear to be very excited.
"Huh? Don't you trust me? Then I won't tell you! The boy looked up triumphantly, "In short, as long as you believe you, as the protagonist of the adventure story, I will definitely succeed in saving you out, that's it!" β
Zhang Lanhua smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, my little hero, I believe in you." β
"Hmph." The boy rolled his eyes, "You still don't believe it, do you?" I'm just- no, not now, at least until the evening...... Big sister, can you be wronged to be tied up for a while longer and hold on until the night? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
4 p.m. sharp. "Kids, don't play here, okay? The machines inside are dangerous. Lin Hu kindly persuaded a child who had circled the factory many times to leave here.
"Big man, what nonsense are you talking about! If this factory is broken like this, I'm afraid it would have closed down a long time ago, right? β
"......" The corners of Lin Hu's mouth twitched, he closed his eyes and lowered his head in silence for a while, and when he raised his head again, he had already turned into a fierce look, "Little ghost! Don't chirp here, Lao Tzu is so angry, please don't leave, do you want Lao Tzu to drive you away! Get out of here! As he spoke, Lin Hu raised his hand and slapped him.
"Ahh......h What the hell are you doing, big man! Is there an adult like you who does it directly to children? I-"
"Still!" Lin Hu roared again, and the child trembled in fright, and quickly closed his mouth and turned around and ran away.
"Ah, now these children are all so virtuous." Lin Hu patted his forehead as if he had a headache, "I know so much, but I don't understand that listening to others has to be rough to scare him." The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary it becomes, and it makes sense. β
"If you speak so carelessly, be careful that you will be shut down. And if it comes out of the mouth, it's not that the phone is down, it's that life is down. Xiao Yi walked over from behind and smiled brightly.
"Why do you always like to use these inexplicable metaphors?" Lin Hu shook his head, "Strategist, to be honest, I really don't understand why you are so interested in that Zhang Lanhua, I think what she said should be true, Mr. Lin Qing has not assigned her any special tasks." β
"First of all, at least we can get Lin Qing's contact information through her, and maybe even the home address directly. In this way, we can take the initiative a little bit. Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Secondly, Lin Qing will not let this kind of human resources be wasted, so even if she doesn't have it now, she will be arranged to do something in the future." β
"I see. That's why you don't want us to torture her, and you want to do it this way? Lin Hu nodded, "However, although I don't seem to be qualified to say it, as an elder, I still have to tell you that it's not good to lie to girls?" Especially if you're going to cheat a girl's heart, it's even worse. β
"It's not bad, it's vicious." Xiao Yat's smile was still as bright as the sun, "Still, I like the word viciousβjust as I love snakes." Cold-blooded, deadly ......"
