Another newcomer came into the fight, this time against a thin old man, but judging by the cheers, the old man had a better chance of winning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I'll ask you about someone." Wang Xiaoming asked the strong black man just now.
"Ah, you say." The black strong man didn't take his eyes off the two people on the field.
"You know a guy named Benny. Forest's people? Wang Xiaoming asked casually.
"Oh, Benny. Sen, he I know, he's quite famous at the club here, he's been playing for five years. Every time, he is willing to stop until he is half dead, and sometimes the opponent is unwilling to hit him. He would leave after the fight and go drinking alone. Many people sympathize with him, so they will give him some help in life. Later, I learned that it was his son who died on the battlefield, and he was originally a clerk in a securities company, and his salary was good. Later, after his son died, he began to boxing every day, and a considerable pension was also used for drinking. He was depressed for a while and died two years ago from kidney failure caused by alcoholism. The black man shouted and chatted with Wang Xiaoming.
"And does he still have family?" Wang Xiaoming felt slightly sad.
"I don't know that, but I heard that he remarried when he saw him like this. I don't know about the rest. Hi buddy, what are you talking about here, pretty, left hook. Look at the game. "The black man was so excited that most of the stress of the whole day was released.
Wang Xiaoming nodded, squeezed through the crowd, and walked out of the abandoned building.
The streets are drizzling, which is one of the city's ways to cool down and dust down, and water vapor is sprayed regularly every night.
The street lights are thick and moths dance around the lights. Fearless and insane.
Wang Xiaoming's comrade-in-arms met in the military academy, and after graduation, they were assigned to the Golden Triangle base together, and they also fought together with Wang Xiaoming in the war, and later died in the foggy forest.
He said that his last wish was that Wang Xiaoming could take a photo back to his father.
Wang Xiaoming thought that he would never have the opportunity to give it to his father again, and he might not have the opportunity to go to Australia City, but the photo was always kept.
The photo shows a man in a suit and leather holding a child in a suspender suit and rubber shoes, with a pair of plaid socks on his feet. The man looks energetic, and the child is full of energy.
His comrades-in-arms said that he secretly took this photo from his father, and said that he would secretly take it out when his father couldn't remember it, which made him moved.
"Childish. You say you're not naïve. Wang Xiaoming shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes were a little moist, took out the lighter from his arms, and lit the yellowed and rolled up corners of the photo.
A string of tongues of fire appeared in the photo, and the light of the fire suddenly became dim and turned into a pile of flying ash.
A few nocturnal walkers looked sideways, but then staggered away, Wang Xiaoming sorted out his emotions, and disappeared into the night.
The next day, the sky was just white, and the glow of the morning sun disappeared.
Of course, it is only the view of the surface of the earth, and the underground city cannot be seen. However, there are late-night programs that will broadcast the sunrise live, but except for the elderly who get up early and exercise in the morning, no one wants to get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise on the screen.
When Wang Xiaoming wanted to contact Kyle, he found that his phone had long been turned off, and he couldn't help but be speechless about the phone he bought from the grocery store.
Wang Xiaoming returned to his original hotel. Ask the front desk to get the key to rest, only to know that Kyle and they have checked out.
The front desk attendant winked at Wang Xiaoming and said angrily, "However, I can open one for you, you can get a discount!" ”
Wang Xiaoming looked at the front desk attendant carefully. Wang Xiaoming found that although her neck was covered with makeup, she couldn't hide the traces of sunburn, and it stands to reason that a front desk attendant could not afford to consume ultraviolet health, and this sunburn is a trace of many years.
Wang Xiaoming's eyes were repeated, but the front desk attendant saw that Wang Xiaoming's face had changed, and he smiled instead of being angry, and his crisp laughter like a silver bell was exciting: "Hehe, yes, the people on the list are really good." ”
After saying that, he handed James a blank piece of paper, smiled and said, "Here they are." ”
Wang Xiaoming took the paper suspiciously, he knew that such a scene didn't seem to be able to do anything to her, and he couldn't take her away and force her to confess.
Wang Xiaoming looked at her face again, trying to tell if she was wearing a human skin mask, because he had a hunch that he would have an intersection with her in the future, Wang Xiaoming's look made the front desk waiter's face fly a flush. I don't know if it's a pretend or an instinctive reaction. Then came the silver bell-like smile.
Wang Xiaoming was about to walk out with the note, and when he was about to walk out of the hotel gate, Wang Xiaoming turned around and happened to meet her provocative gaze.
"That ......" Wang Xiaoming didn't know why his speech became distracted.
"My name is Louise, and we'll meet again." Louise said.
Wang Xiaoming nodded, turned around and walked out of the hotel.
In an uninhabited corner, Wang Xiaoming took out a lighter and baked it on top of the note, and handwriting immediately appeared on the white paper. is a hotel room number. Wang Xiaoming memorizes the room number. He lit the note and walked away without looking back.
When Wang Xiaoming arrived at the hotel where Kyle and the others were staying, it was already half past six in the morning.
Wang Xiaoming knocked on the door, but there was no response inside. Only the sound of the TV program and the sound of the toilet spraying floor.
You won't be able to take a shower with four people. Wang Xiaoming was cranky.
At this time, the door opened, Wang Xiaoming pushed the door in, and immediately four bullet holes were aimed at his head.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep." Wang Xiaoming looked at the four people in pajamas and walked into the room after speaking, and was about to lie down when he saw the bed.
Kyle looked at Wang Xiaoming, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and felt strange, why did he provoke people just now.
"Don't ask, I went to a fight club to learn more about the underground of this underground city." Wang Xiaoming saw that Kyle wanted to ask him, so he stopped Kyle's questioning.
"Fight Club? There's really this thing, isn't this a movie, about a madman with a split personality? Yi San said strangely.
"You'll ask when I wake up." Wang Xiaoming is physically and mentally exhausted, probably because he has been unwilling to get the result of many years of wishing, but it is still liberating.
"I mean, why do you know we're here?" James felt that it would be completely impossible for Wang Xiaoming to find this place by himself.
Wang Xiaoming talked about what he encountered at the front desk of the hotel.
"Is it Louise?" Yi San asked.
"How do you know?" Wang Xiaoming sat up again.
Yi San also talked about what they encountered.
"What is this woman?" Kevin has been doing intelligence work for so many years and is very unfamiliar with Louise's face.
"I don't think it's any harm to us for the time being." Yi San said.
"She should have known where we were and told you by that bank card." James said as he took out the million-dollar bank card.
"One million, so slammed, let's throw it away." Wang Xiaoming said lightly with 100 million clouds in his arms.
"We have already contacted the headquarters, and the next task is to find the Zhuloba Stone Plate." Kyle said.
"How can I find it in the vast sea of people." Wang Xiaoming felt that this task was a bit arduous.
"You know, those people are rich, and it just so happens that we are, there are many people in this city, but there are not many rich people, and I can predict what we will live next." Kyle said with a smile.
James and Yi San looked up in a fantasy manner, smiled, and then burst out laughing.
