Chapter 52: Something Happened Again
"Boss, what's going on outside?"
"When can we get out?"
"These are the two lost guests?"
The chaotic sound of inquiries came to his face, and Bai Si must have looked at it, and there were dozens of people standing crowded in this dimly lit old leather shoe, and this building of less than fifty square meters was almost filled with no place for these players.
"Ahaha, yes, yes, it's already." The bearded dwarf snorted as he deftly swayed through the gaps in the bodies of a group of players and returned to his small bench behind the small counter. However, Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei didn't have such good luck, and as soon as the door behind them closed, the sister and brother were squeezed on the wall of the old leather shoes.
"What the hell is going on, can you tell me now? We all felt the noise and the shaking, but what is it that you took us out and put us here and didn't let us go? As a representative, a player closest to the bearded boss asked the question in the hearts of everyone present, and as soon as his words fell, there was a chorus of echoes. Even the siblings, who were squeezed against the wall, pricked up their ears to hear the answer to the question.
"Something is wrong. You haven't read the forums yet, have you? The bearded dwarf cleared his throat and pressed his hands down, signaling for the crowd to be quiet, and waited for their voices to subside before speaking.
"I guess no one is watching, you can say it quickly." It was the player closest to the bearded dwarf who became inflamed in the place of the others.
"There was an explosion in the mine, and at least tens of thousands of people were blocked below. I don't know what's going on inside. The bearded dwarf sighed and said in a heavy tone.
"What? Tens of thousands of people? A gasp and exclamation.
"This is still what I said according to the flow of people in the past, isn't there a rumor of a mother mine recently?" The bearded dwarf continued with a sad look on his face, as if the players who had been trapped in the mine had lost their skills.
"yes, that's why I came to see it." Several players replied immediately.
"Me too, what's the problem?"
"The place where the explosion collapsed is where the legendary mother mine is located. Recently, the people in the ant nest have been going to the mother mine, so no one can say how many people are buried down there now. The bearded dwarf shook his head and sighed as he announced even worse news. Immediately, there was another sound of air conditioning in the shoe shop, but there were also a few more "Thank goodness I haven't gone yet." A kind of emotion.
"Now there is a chaos outside, all the city management has been dispatched, and they are organizing the poaching of people, and I have lost a guest here, so I closed the door of the store, didn't let you out, and went in to find someone by myself, I'm really sorry." The bearded dwarf explained why he wouldn't let everyone leave their shoes. Only then did Bai Siyi see through the gap in the crowd that the gap between the toes of the shoes for people to enter and exit was closed, so these people were crowded in this small space, "However, am I also here to ensure the safety of the guests?" ”
The players in the house exchanged their heads and talked about this explosive news, and the focus was on the mother mine and those buried players, and no one cared about whether the so-called "lost guest" was Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei who had just come out of the door. Even Lin Feifei, who had not said a word since Bai Siyi had just negotiated with the bearded dwarf, let out several inhalations because of the number "tens of thousands".
"Okay, okay, now that the last guest has been found, whether you want to go out to inquire about the situation, or go back to your room to rest, it's okay." The bearded dwarf stretched out his hands again and made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, but this time it was obviously not as effective as the last time, and the players were still whispering about what they had just heard. Others began to close their eyes, apparently landing on the forums to confirm the authenticity of the message.
"Let me out." The first player spoke, and immediately the second and third players spoke up to make the request. The bearded dwarf didn't hesitate for the crack in his shoes to open again, and those players who wanted to leave immediately dodged out, apparently wanting to go to the scene and get first-hand information.
After a minute or two, most of the players chose to leave the old shoe house, and a few people chose to go back to their rooms to rest with an indifferent look, and the bearded dwarves opened and closed the doors back and forth in a kind manner, sending them back to their rooms one by one.
The siblings finally had a place to put their feet on the wall. In the whole building, only the three siblings and the bearded dwarf were left.
"Okay, we've settled it out, and you can do something you can do." The bearded dwarf looked at the two sisters and brothers who had not left at the end, and a satisfied look appeared on his face, "Remember your promise, but it doesn't matter if you regret it now, it is estimated that those two fools have already taken care of the rest of the matter." Now that there is chaos outside, it is estimated that the chengguan is not interested in investigating a person's life and death in detail. The bearded dwarf winked at the siblings and waved generously, signaling that they could leave.
"If you have a chance in the future, you are welcome to come to my store to stay again." As Bai Siyi pulled Lin Fei out of the crack in his leather shoes, the bearded dwarf suddenly added such a sentence behind them.
Bai Siyi didn't reply, saying "good" or "bad" didn't seem to be a wise choice. She didn't even look back, just lifted the curtain blocking the crack, and hurriedly left the building with Lin Feifei, stepping on the stone bricks laid on the ground of the ant's nest city.
"Enter Ant Nest No. 0553." This time, Bai Siyi heard the sound of the line in his head clearly.
The streets were in chaos, with pedestrians hurrying in one direction with serious faces, fewer vendors on the roadside, and occasional cowboy riders on mechanical horses, shouting for players to get out of the way.
Bai Siyi's eyes scanned around the street, hesitated for a moment, and pulled Lin Feifei up against the flow of people, walking in the direction of the rustling ice.
Along the way, Bai Siyi was silent, immersed in his thoughts and did not speak, and Lin Feifei uncharacteristically did not speak and looked around.
Finally, after walking two streets, the boy couldn't help it first, and asked Bai Siyi in a muffled voice.
"Sister, that person died like that, and no one cared?" The boy obviously remembered the appearance of the man being divided into pieces, and his body shuddered again.
"Hmm." Bai Siyi also hummed in a low voice. The siblings fell silent again. After a while, Bai Siyi opened his mouth to say a seemingly unrelated question.
"What do you think is the house and the forest behind that door?"
Lin Feifei was silent for a while, this boy is not stupid, he can even be said to be smart, he was just controlled by fear just now, he heard his sister's question, and after a little thought, he figured out this question.
"It's the boss's weapon, right?" Lin Feifei's voice was still very dull: "Special props with attack ability." ”
"yes, probably his weapon. The two snowmen also called him master. Bai Si nodded, not knowing if the boy had seen her move, "We are in his weapon, we have no other choice." ”
"But, sister, why do you want his points?" When the boy heard Bai Siyi's answer, he immediately raised his voice a little higher, and asked Bai Siyi this question a little excitedly, obviously, this question was the root knot that made this boy feel depressed.
"I don't want his points." Bai Siyi spoke in a dull tone, "It's only five hundred points, although it's really not a few." But I don't want to. ”
"But you want it." The boy still spoke very stubbornly, looking like Bai Si was going to be stubborn to the end if he didn't explain clearly.
As soon as Bai Si stopped, the sign of rustling ice was already in sight. The sign with beer and fork painted on it had only been seen by the siblings a few hours ago, but what had happened just a few hours ago made the white siblings feel as if they had only seen each other in a few years.
"Do you think he'll believe me if I don't order anything and just promise him that we won't tell him? Will you let us go? Bai Siyi's tone also carried a hint of ridicule, I don't know if he was mocking himself, or mocking the boy's innocence, or mocking the sadness that the sister and brother have no strength and can only be manipulated by others, "In addition to being able to deceive him with little gray ash, I can only use such a small means to make him think that we need points, as long as we get points, we won't do superfluous things." This point may not be as many as the points that the dwarf gained after killing the man, so we just buy peace of mind for both sides. ”
When Lin Feifei heard this answer, he fell silent again. However, judging from the strength of his hand that was holding Bai Siyi's arm, the boy accepted Bai Siyi's explanation.
"But that person died silently?" Lin Feifei finally muttered unwillingly, "We really don't go to the chengguan to talk about this matter?" ”
"It's useless, just like the boss said, he must have taken care of everything, and now it's such a mess, no one will care about a person's life or death."
Bai Siyi took another step and walked towards the tavern. The moment she pushed the door open, Lin Feifei heard a whispering word in his ear, the voice was as light as a feather, and it passed over the boy's ear, leaving no trace, making the boy think it was just his illusion.
"Actually, everything is strength."
