Chapter 24: Someone Goes Missing?
Seeing that Si Moxue hadn't taken out the so-called evidence for a long time, the receptionist put on a perfect formulaic smile on his face: "Miss Si Moxue, if there is no evidence to prove it, I can't confirm the truth of what you said." So ......"
"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes. Seeing that the receptionist didn't seem to want to care about this matter, Si Moxue shouted loudly at the service desk, "You can send someone there to check it out." β
"I'm sorry, but we have no right to interfere with other people's production without evidence." The receptionist still smiled, and the smile on his face tended to widen.
"So, what about those who were captured?" Si Moxue still wanted to argue a few more words.
"We recommend you leave these things out of your mission."
"Mo Xue......" Doll tugged at her clothes behind her back.
Si Moxue took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and looked back at Tao'er.
"I think she's right......" Dore looked at Sim Xue's eyes and spoke, "We're here to report the situation, we've done our best, and the rest is none of our business, and we don't care too much about it......"
"......" Si Moxue didn't speak, and after a while, her tense body relaxed.
With a long sigh, she turned to face the receptionist, "Sorry, I was too excited just now...... So be it, I'm sorry for you. β
Then she pulled Doll out of the silver hall with heavy steps.
Si Moxue didn't see it, after she left the hall, the receptionist said hello to her colleague and left the service desk under the pretext of leaving the desk.
"Where the hell did you lose your camera?" Doll was thinking to the side, "Could it be that you lost it when you bumped into someone else before?" We'll have to find a way to find it. β
If the camera can't find it, they've lost the clue item and it's considered a mission failure.
Si Moxue lowered her eyes and looked at the road ahead, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, it was already late, and the gates of the silver hall were filled with wasteland hunters returning from their missions.
Not far in front of the door, a group of people formed a circle, pointing and pointing at the circle, as if discussing something.
Tao Ertian had a lively sex, and when she saw the crowd gathering, she pulled Si Moxue forward and squeezed into the innermost.
It was a middle-aged woman, with her hair unkempt and yellow, and she was holding the lap of a male moor hunter, howling and pleading:
"Please, help me, I really can't help it, that's my life-"
Dore looked at the scene in front of her suspiciously, she poked at the people watching the excitement next to her, and asked, "What happened, what bad things did this man do?" β
"This man didn't do anything." The man who was poked had apparently been here for a while and knew the ins and outs, so he explained to Doll with interest:
"This woman's son is missing, crying here and crying for help, no one paid attention to her, but the man didn't know what was wrong with his mouth, so he had to go up and ask a few words. As a result, hey, I was relied upon. β
"Oh-"
Todd listened to his explanation, nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Then why didn't she go to the hall to post the task, then there were a bunch of people who could help her." β
The man next to her gave her a blank look: "Little girl, you just came, right?" Do you know that there is an intermediary fee for going to the hall to post tasks, do you look at the woman, like a rich person? β
"I see, the man who was relied on is really pitiful. This kind of thankless task, I guess only people with a twitch of the head will help her. Doll glanced at the crowd around her and sighed.
"I'll help you, what does your son look like?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
Tao Er followed the prestige, wanting to see who was so brainless, and then saw Si Moxue come out of the crowd and said to the woman on the ground, "I'll help you, although, although I don't know if I can find it." β
Doom: "......"
Why is her mouth like she has opened the light?
When the woman heard Si Moxue's words, she seemed to see a savior, let go of the male wasteland hunter's legs, and crawled towards Si Moxue.
The wasteland hunter fled the scene as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Really, can you help me?" The woman clutched Si Moxue's pants tightly, and a pair of dry and sunken eyes shone brightly.
Si Moxue helped the woman up: "Really, but I'm not sure I can find it." β
"Wait, wait......" Dore pushed everyone away and squeezed forward, pulled Si Moxue to the side, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you crazy, what are you doing for her?" β
"I have a gut feeling that her son's disappearance has something to do with 'TR'." Si Moxue also lowered her voice and replied to her.
This intuition has appeared many times in Si Moxue's growth process, and every time she can always help her more or less. This time, Si Moxue still chose to trust her instincts.
β...... Well, it's up to you to decide. "Taoer has also seen Si Moxue's only feeling, and when she talks about it, she doesn't stop her.
What Si Moxue didn't say was that in addition to that inexplicable intuition, another reason why she wanted to help women was that she wanted to see if her kindness was rewarded.
She lifted the woman on the ground: "Auntie, tell me carefully what happened." β
Hearing this, the woman wiped away her tears and told her intermittently what had happened.
The woman's name is Lena, a hamster genetic hybrid, with only 67% genetic fusion, who makes a living by cleaning the rich in the outer city of the oasis.
Lena has a 12-year-old son, and this morning she took him to her employer's house to work. Because the employer didn't like her son coming into the house, she asked him to wait outside the house.
"It's not the first time I've done this, my son listens to me, I let him wait outside, he waits outside, and he never runs around." Lena sobbed as she wiped her nose with her sleeve, "But when I came out of the house today, my son was gone." β
Speaking of this, Lena screamed again: "My son is just an earthworm genetic hybrid, he has no ability to protect himself at all, if, if he meets those people, what will he do......"
She grabbed Si Moxue's sleeve, and her voice was full of helplessness and despair: "Please, you must help me." Then he knelt down.
Si Moxue hurriedly grabbed Lena's hand to prevent her from kneeling. She noticed a word in Lena's words: "Who are you talking about by 'those people'?" β
Lena half-leaned on Si Moxue's body like a detached force, her head lowered, and she said hoarsely: "I, I had a neighbor before, he was a hybrid of hydroids. β
"And then?" Si Moxue asked.
And then ...... He disappeared one day, and no one knew about it, until the landlord came to collect the rent and found that there was no one in the house. β
"Could it be that he left suddenly?"
"No way, there is still animal meat in his room that he rarely buys, and it stinks and grows maggots...... He disappeared suddenly! Lena's emotions suddenly became agitated again, "Later, more and more people disappeared, and some people said that they were captured, killed, chopped up, and then the corpses were taken out and sold as animal meat. β
"Didn't Oasis send someone to deal with this matter?"
Lena's eyes dimmed: "Send someone, how can you send someone." The missing people are all low-level people who live alone, so no one cares about our life or death. Only the people at the bottom and the bottom will care about each other. She pulled out a grim smile.
Si Moxue and Taoer were silent, they grew up in Aunt Hua's organization, although they had a hard time, they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. The experience is different, and what Lena said, they can't empathize.
After listening to Lena's description of her son's appearance, it was already completely dark.
Because of Oasis' curfew policy, Tsukasa and Momo bid farewell to Lena and decided to return to their rented room first.
On the way, Doll asked Sim Xue, "...... Are you really going to help her? β
"If you can, you can help." Si Moxue looked at the dirt road under her feet and answered in a low voice. Then she added: "Just this time, there will be no next time...... I promise. β
And then they were silent all the way, knowing that they were back on the street where they were rentingβ
"I'm X, what's going on?" Doll was so angry that she jumped on the street and cursed. Si Moxue also tensed her jaw, trying to suppress her anger.
Everything they put in their rented apartment, from the folding beds they put away on a daily basis to the carefully selected room accessories, were all thrown on the street, and some of them even soaked into the sewage from the garbage dump.
"The neurotic woman from the landlord has a convulsion?" Doll stepped over the things on the ground, took out the door key, and wanted to open the door unwillingly, "X, the locks have been changed, do we owe her rent or something." β
The key wouldn't be opened, and Doll simply started banging on the door.
"!"
Doll slammed the door again, but not only did it not open, but she almost fell to the ground under the force of the rebound.
"Don't bump into it, it's useless. It's almost curfew time. Although Si Moxue was angry, she had not lost her mind, and she said to stop Tao'er: "Let's pack up our things first and find a place to live." β
"Why are we so unlucky today?"
Although Taoer was full of anger, she could only endure it with Si Moxue, pack her things, and stay in a cheap hotel nearby.
