Chapter 305: Modeling
Katniss was embarrassed to answer, after all, she was just a little girl, and she wasn't used to talking nonsense.
Ning Yun appropriately attracted attention: "This is the work of nature, this is the miracle of the Creator." ”
Effie didn't believe it, of course, that it wasn't a good thing to have two men watching, so she grabbed Katniss and left.
When he arrived at the box, Katniss was embarrassed to explain that it was the razor.
Effie didn't believe it, and Katniss had to say that it was the teaching of her mother, the daughter of a pharmacist, and a former wealthy family.
In Katnis's great embarrassment, Effie found the remaining hair, but Effie was still skeptical, what happened to her skin so smooth and delicate all of a sudden?!
It's simple, but it took Katniss a long time to give Effie the answer and take three showers.
Can't wait to escape Effie's clutches, Katniss hurries to the dining car.
Eric seemed to know his embarrassment and helplessness, and with a comforting and apologetic smile on the corner of his mouth, he handed over a cup.
Inside the quilt was something a thick brown and a little sticky, which Katniss had never seen before.
"Hot chocolate, it tastes good."
A panicked Katniss didn't expect to refuse, and took a small sip, and the hot, sweet, creamy liquid ran down his throat.
Katniss shuddered. Drink it all down, regardless of the delicious taste on the table. Then Katniss began to chew on other foods.
Although I tried my best not to eat too much, I did eat a lot. When she felt like her stomach was about to crack, Katniss leaned back in her chair and ate the fruit that accompanied her meal.
Eric is still eating, his movements are not hurried, he is calm and elegant, and he feels comfortable just looking at it. Katniss didn't like it.
Black Michi didn't pay much attention to his food, but he kept pouring clear liquid from a bottle and mixing it with red juice, and drank it in one gulp. The strong smell can be concluded that it must be an alcohol.
Katniss didn't know each other before, but he was often seen on the black market, and the Black Secret always threw a lot of change on the counter of the woman selling alcohol.
If you go on like this, when you reach the capital. Black Secret is sure to get drunk again.
Katniss finds himself hating Black Secrets. It's no wonder that the Sector 12 players never get a good chance, not least because they don't have enough to eat and don't train.
In fact, District 12 used to have a lot of strong players who had a chance to win.
But they don't get sponsorship, and the Black Secret is the main reason.
Wealthy people tend to support certain players, or they bet on them, or simply boast that they have chosen the right winner. For this reason, the rich would pay a fortune for small things while the tributes were fighting in the arena. Give it to the player they like. Small devices like ignition, like water, like food, and even weapons.
But it's not just the players' efforts, it's also the need for their mentors to be off the field and get on good terms with those wealthy sponsors long in advance.
They certainly want to deal with someone who behaves more appropriately than the Black Secret Covenant, rather than a drunkard who gets drunk all day.
Ning Yun also scratched his head, it seemed that he had a dying alcoholism yesterday. It didn't bother Black Michi at all, or maybe he was super adapted to alcohol. Pour less on your own. Perhaps, after all, it can't be based on the amount of killing.
It seems that Black Michi doesn't want to change at all.
"You should give us some advice." Katniss said to Black Michy.
"I advise you to come back alive." Black Michi said, laughing.
Katniss was surprised to see the coldness in Black Mickey's eyes.
Even if he doesn't like it, Black Mickey usually gives Katniss a gentle impression.
Ning Yun and Katniss exchanged glances, as if there was a little tacit understanding in them.
"It's ridiculous." Ning Yun put down the knife and fork.
Under Katniss's watchful eye. Ning Yun suddenly waved his hand, knocking the cup in Hei Miqi's hand to the ground, and the blood-red liquid flowed outward along the door of the box.
"We don't need that kind of advice!"
Hei Miqi was stunned for a moment, and then swung a punch at Ning Yun's chin.
Crunch!
Ning Yun leaned back sharply, driving the chair back a short distance.
Even middle-aged. Even after being decadent for so long, Black Michi is worthy of being the winner of the Hunger Games, and the agility and speed of that punch are far beyond imagination.
Black Michi smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned to get the wine again.
Katniss slammed the knife between the bottle and the black mitch's palm, nearly crossing his fingers.
Katniss then dodged to avoid his fist, but Black Mich didn't move, sitting in his chair and looking at Katnis.
"Hmph, what's this for?" Black Michi snorted coldly, "Chose two fighters for me this year?" ”
Black Michi looked at Ning Yun, then turned to look at Katnis: "What else can you use to pierce the table with a knife?" ”
Bows and arrows were Ketniss's usual weapons, but he also practiced throwing knives for a long time. Sometimes the prey is shot and wounded, and it is better to use a knife to kill it before approaching it.
Katniss felt that now was the time to get the attention of Black Michy.
Pulling the knife off the table, Katniss grabbed the blade and threw it against the opposite wall with a whoosh. I just wanted to stick the knife firmly to the wall, but the knife got stuck in the gap between the two boards, which made Katniss even more skilled.
"Stand up, get over there, you two." As he spoke, he stumbled to the middle of the dining cart, looked around the two of them carefully, bent down to look at the body, and then at the face. "Well, not bad, not entirely hopeless. It looks pretty strong. Let the designer tinker with it for you, and it will look like that. ”
Katniss doesn't doubt this, and I'm sure Eric is.
The Hunger Games isn't a beauty contest, but then again, handsome and good-looking contestants always seem to get more sponsorship.
Hei Michi sat down in his chair again and raised his glass: "Okay, let's make a deal, I'll drink, you don't care, but I don't drink too much." I'm here to help you. But do exactly what I say. ”
It's not a good quid pro quo, but it's a big step from when there was no one to guide you.
"Well, then you can help us," Katniss nodded, "what is we going to do best when we get to the capital?" ”
Ten minutes later. We're going to pit stops, and you're going to be in the hands of the designers, and you won't like their designs, but no matter what, don't resist. ”
"But......," Katniss was about to say.
"There's no 'but', just don't resist." Black Miche said, taking the bottle from the table and leaving the dining car. When the door closed behind him, it was pitch black in the dining car. Although there was still a glimmer of light, it seemed to be dark outside the car.
The train entered the tunnel leading to the capital. These mountains were a natural barrier for the capital to defend the eastern districts, and it was almost impossible to attack the capital from the east, except for tunnels. This topographical advantage is the main reason why the districts have lost battles, and is the main reason why Katniss is now a "tribute". Because the rebels had to cross the mountains, they were easily targeted by the capital's air power.
The train sped through the long tunnel, and Katniss and Ning Yun stood silent.
The thought of the heavy rocks in the tunnel separating itself from the sky. Katnis's heart was tight.
Katniss hated the feeling of being trapped in a rock, and that reminded Katnness of his dad. Thinking of the mines, he was buried forever in the darkness that never saw the light of day.
The train finally slowed down, and suddenly a blinding light came through the carriage.
Katniss couldn't hold back his excitement and ran to the window to see the capital, the center of the twelve districts, which had only been seen on television before.
Indeed, the camera is not lying, it completely shows the majesty of the city.
If there's anything else it doesn't capture. It's the glittering skyscrapers in the rainbow afterglow, the glittering cars on the wide asphalt roads, the people dressed strangely, with strange hairstyles, makeup on their faces, and people who don't have to worry about food and clothing.
All the colors are so illusory, the pink is too dark, the green is too bright. The yellow is blindingly bright, like the flat round candy that Katniss saw in the small candy shop in District 12 that she could never afford.
When they learned that there was a train carrying a "tribute" that was entering the city, everyone eagerly pointed their fingers.
Katniss hurried out of the window, they were so excited that Katniss was sick, they couldn't wait to watch us kill each other.
But Eric stood still, instead smiling and waving at the crowd.
He only stops when the train finally enters the station and the spectators can't see it.
Katniss stared at Eric in confusion.
In Katnis's puzzled gaze, Eric shrugged, "It's wonderful, isn't it, the scenery is nice." People are also very good, and from the outside, who can believe it? It's like stars and fans in another world, the order of death is reversed, maybe you don't understand, but it's okay, by the way, maybe there's a rich one in this pile. ”
Katniss shook his head inwardly, I had mistaken him. From the time of the harvest ceremony, Katniss has been pondering his actions.
He shook hands with me amicably, and he waited for me early with a meat muffin, as well as a grocery roll, which he promised to give to Polim...... Even if I refused, I asked Gail to hand over the food rolls.
He also volunteered to bathe Black Secret and take good care of him, but when this "good guy strategy" obviously didn't work, he challenged Black Secret again. Now he is waving at the window again, hoping to win the support of the audience, hoping that a rich man will sponsor him. From the first moment you enter the station.
He also took out the "family heirloom" laser epilator for me to use, pleasing me, and making me more beautiful and free from pain in advance.
Of course, this chain of events is not enough, but Katniss senses that his plan of action is taking shape.
He is not sitting still and is trying to fight for a chance to survive.
In other words, this kind Eric, the man who gave me the meat muffins, the one who used to shave my hair, is doing everything in his power to kill me.
……
Katniss was lying on a beauty couch with only a thin light blue robe.
"What's going on?" Vania, with pink hair, eyelashes longer than a cat's beard, and a golden tattoo above her eyebrows, said in surprise, "You've already shed your hair with beeswax?" ”
Katniss didn't know how to answer, it was really bothering, it was a good thing, but now it was a matter of not knowing what kind of thing to show Eric's "family heirloom" to her.
"That's not right." Venia stroked Katnis's skin, "It's too smooth, this is definitely not the effect of beeswax hair removal, you can't see pores, is this a gift?!" But it's not right, it doesn't match the bikini area, it's sorted out but not trimmed, tell me, what's going on? ”
Katniss could only respond in silence.
"Alright then, the last area should be cleaned as well. Don't think I'm lying to you, you're very simple, others have to pull out their legs, arms, and armpits, you're lucky, so let's start with your eyebrows. ”
Katniss lay there, clutching at the edge of the bed beside her and nodded.
The brow shook painfully, not neat enough, and the slightly thick eyebrows were plucked off one by one.
"You're doing well." Vignia shook her orange plucking clip, "What we can't stand is the people who cry. ”
Then, the other two pulled Katniss out of bed and removed the thin robes he had been putting on and off.
Katniss stood there, and the two of them used tweezers to remove the last bit of hair from their bodies.
Clenching his teeth, the corners of Katnis's mouth were shaking, and the flesh was so painful and numb that he couldn't touch it.
I don't like it, Katniss feels like a plucked chicken waiting to be roasted.
I really regret that I didn't listen to Eric's advice, and my eyebrows can be endured, but I can't do it there!
Katniss was very suspicious that blood was oozing, but he did not dare to look down, let alone complain.
To listen to the black secret, you can't say a word.
Next is the nails, which are cut into the exact same shape.
Then came the final bath, where the scrub foam scrubbed her entire body, and Katniss felt like she had been rubbed off three layers of skin.
Seemingly everything was done, the three of them took a step back and admired their work: "Great, you look pretty much like a person now!" ”
All three laughed.
Katniss also had a smile on her face, showing how grateful I was to them.
It turns out that there is a human body that is completely naked, completely different from monkeys?
Can such a self still go hunting in the woods?
Completely lost camouflage......
"Thanks," Katnis said to sound as sincere as she could, "we don't have much to dress up in the 12th arrondissement. ”
……
On the other side, Ning Yun was in even greater trouble.
A long and wide corridor shared by the male tributes.
Even when I was studying, I never played such an amazing honest confrontation with men in the same space.
Ning Yun is also strange, the locker room he has experienced is very disciplined, it used to seem to be a kind of luck, but now it is not.
Those players, who are very confident, don't even wear robes, showing off not only their figures.
Ning Yun could only twist his head so as not to be blinded......
