Chapter 8: The Old Man

After passing through two passages in succession, away from the perfume pavilion behind her, Anne's mood has stabilized a lot. She looked at Wen Zhong with some concern, thinking in her heart what she wanted to do to explain her strange appearance just now. But Wen Zhong seemed to know Anne's thoughts, gently touched Anne's head, and whispered in her ear, "We'll be fine!" ”

Anne couldn't help but squeeze Wen Zhong's hand and said no more.

...

The passages connecting the pavilions are flanked on either side by a sea of flowers, separated by transparent glass walls. I don't know why, there is not a single tourist in this passage, the mascot old man in the bubble suit is walking in front of him, and the whole passage is silent.

Just when Wen Zhong gradually doubted what kind of purpose the old man was carrying, the old man's footsteps stopped, and he stopped in front of a door with a sign hanging on the door, which read: Work passage, idlers are not allowed to enter.

After seeing Wen Zhong pushing Anne to follow, the old man opened the door, beckoned to the two, and motioned for them to continue to follow. Wen Zhong stood by the door, picked up the sign and said to the old man, "This... Not suitable, right? ”

Who knew that the old man turned his head, squinted his eyes at Wen Zhong and said, "Will you be the kind of person who follows the rules?" After saying that, he continued to walk forward without looking back.

Wen Zhong and Anne glanced at each other, but finally chose to follow.

Obviously, this staff passage is not as friendly as the tourist passage outside, and the thick pipes on the ceiling overlap one by one, as if they were snakes. There was no longer the smell of the outside, and there was even a smell of heavy metals, which made Anne put on her mask again.

It was only after passing through this long passage that the old man stopped.

"Is it there?" Wen Zhong blocked Anne behind him without a trace, and after walking such a long way, he didn't believe that the two of them would still be in the outer pavilion at this time, but he was afraid that he was already in the depths of the pavilion. This... After all, it's the dignity of being a road idiot!

Belch... Off topic

The old man nodded, then opened the door and walked in: "Come in!" This is my old man's one-of-a-kind studio, which is not seen by ordinary tourists! ”

Wen Zhong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, turned his head to look at Anne, and found that Anne was also looking at him suspiciously. But having come here, Wen Zhong and Anne still followed the old man into the so-called studio.

The studio is big, but it has an old atmosphere.

In this era, almost all buildings have a hint of science fiction. However, in this all-wooden room, none of the colors of this era are visible.

It is said to be a studio, but the actual scope seems to be huge.

The studio is divided into three sections, and in an open space after entering through the main entrance, there are two large tables filled with various instruments. The room on the left is also huge, with dozens of rows of lattices filled with spices and flower petals. The room on the right is much smaller and messy, with oddly shaped bottles all over the place.

"Come on, little girl, why don't you try to make a bottle of perfume yourself, you who say perfume is boring?" The old man rummaged through the cabinet next to the door, and finally pulled out a crumpled and yellowed piece of paper and walked over.

Wen Zhonggang wanted to take the piece of paper, but was pushed away by the old man. The old man threw the piece of paper on Anne's body, and Anne subconsciously caught it, and when she unfolded it, it turned out to be a very simple and easy-to-understand foolish method of making perfume. She looked up, only to see the old man pulling Wen Zhong's collar towards the right room full of bottles.

The old man's whining words were still left in the air: "Borrow your little lover to use it, and when I come back, you will give me a good bottle of perfume!" ”

Anne looked at Wen Zhong's stunned face, smiled helplessly, and pushed the wheelchair towards the material room on the left.

...

On the other side, Loren Manor on Andrew's Hill

Basically, it's not a manor anymore, it's a castle to be precise. It's just that at this time, in the center of the castle, in that gorgeous large study, there is a middle-aged man in his fifties who now says that he is surprised.

Standing on the other side of the table was a young man in blue overalls, who seemed to be reporting something to the middle-aged man.

After listening to the young man's report, the middle-aged man said with some surprise: "The old man went to the studio again?" Brought other people in? The old man would never bring outsiders into his studio, have you found out who is inside? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I'm investigating, judging from the clothes alone, it seems that it is not a local, but a foreign tourist." ”

"You go down first!" The middle-aged man looked at the frozen picture on the screen, a little silent. On the screen, it was Wen Zhong pushing Anne's back.

...

Feeling that Anne seemed to be in the center of that material area, Wen Zhong looked at the old man in front of him reassuringly and said, "Say, what are you calling me here for?" ”

The old man's attitude was already obvious, and he deliberately led the two to a place where no one was, and specially said that Wen Zhong pulled him aside, if this Wen Zhong still couldn't understand that the old man was coming at him, then he didn't have to mess around.

I saw that the old man glanced at Anne, who was still shuttling in the material area, and said lightly to Wen Zhong: "Let your little lover make a bottle of perfume here first, don't worry!" It's the safest place in the whole of Allentown. If you don't want her to worry, there are some things that you might as well hide and talk about them! ”

As he spoke, the old man pressed the wall lamp that hung on the wall, and a secret door emerged from the wall.

Wen Zhong's brows furrowed, he could feel that there was a huge space behind him, but there was no one. The old man's behavior became more and more bizarre, which filled his heart with doubts.

As the old saying goes, the greatest enemy and friend of humanity in this world is curiosity. In the end, Wen Zhong couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and followed the old man in.

The space behind the secret door is very large, about half the size of a studio. As the old man entered, the entire space suddenly lit up. The whole space was very empty, except for a coffee table and a few chairs.

The old man casually threw the sprinkler hood on his head on the ground, and he sat down on the chair in front of the coffee table in a bubble suit and began to make tea. As the heat rose, the old man said to Wen Zhong, who was still standing in the distance, "Come and sit!" I have something to ask you! ”

After Wen Zhong sat down, the old man put a cup of tea in front of Wen Zhong, squinted his eyes and lightly knocked on the table twice, the wall opposite Wen Zhong suddenly darkened, and then a virtual screen suddenly appeared, and on it was a web page.

If Wen Zhong had put on the sensor, he would have been able to see this familiar picture - the net...
