Chapter 15: Scoundrels
When I got up from Gu Qianmo's bed, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, rubbing my sleepy eyes, I looked at Gu Qianmo standing at the window, and said a little embarrassed: "Why don't you call me so late?" ”
Gu Qianmo took out a bottle of milk from the storage space, handed it to me and said with a smile: "I don't know your surname, if you don't rest well, you won't be able to think of anything, come, drink a glass of milk first." ”
I smiled, although Gu Qianmo looked very aggressive on the surface, and there were some violent tendencies, she was actually very careful, at least in terms of taking care of me, she was almost the best.
Taking the milk, I drank it all and looked around, "Is there anything strange?" ”
Gu Qianmo shook his head, and after seeing me get up, he put the bed away: "No, it's been very calm, the countess didn't appear, and there were no other ghosts or strange things." ”
I frowned and said in disbelief, "Impossible, it stands to reason that after we came here, let us stay in peace?" The timer keeps increasing, and while there's no Nightmare Core, it's all about survival days, and I haven't felt any danger so far, which means we'll be fine even if we stay like this. ”
Gu Qianmo scratched her head: "Isn't this good?" What are you anxious about? ”
I walked over and looked out the window, the row of digital flower beds outside the window was still so conspicuous, I rubbed my temples with my hands, and said suspiciously: "As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, why should the organizer do this, this is completely equivalent to opening a cheat for us, this is not realistic?" ”
Seeing me talking to myself, Gu Qianmo chose to be silent, she knew that in this situation, what I needed most was to be quiet.
I bit the nail of my index finger and continued to myself: "Or, or after a certain number of days, we will die suddenly, but this may not be a big surname, the organizer is impossible, and we are reluctant to die, because the people in the plan, each of them is very important, but this does not fit the surname of the organizer, he can't give us a chance to brush up the number of days to survive, every game, basically have to fight to the death to get the reward." Unless, if we do nothing, then the timer will save up enough days to survive when we came and send us back, and this extra quest will be closed, which may be more than eighty percent, and if we look for it, to find it, we will gain great benefits, but then it will put us in danger. Interesting, it seems that the organizers left us a multiple-choice question. ”
Gu Qianmo also heard the meaning of my words, and said with some concern: "Luo Xi, when we came, we used a total of 10 days of survival, which means that if we don't do anything, we will go back in 10 days, right?" ”
I shook my head, touched her head and smiled: "You, it's not 10 days, it's 5 days, we each take 5 days, isn't it 10 days?" It's just that I'm worried that if we go to investigate the matter here, once we get involved, I'm afraid that things will become very dangerous, because the organizers actually gave us such a choice question, that is, if we choose to investigate, I'm afraid we will die, if not, the organizers will not be able to leave us a way out. ”
Gu Qianmo slapped my hand, and at this moment, her face changed: "Who?" As soon as the words fell, the person had already disappeared at the entrance of the attic, and my heart was slightly tightened, and I hurriedly followed.
As soon as I reached the second floor, I heard the screams of a man in the hall on the first floor, who kept shouting in English, "Let go of me, you let go of me quickly." "I looked up the stairs, and at this time, a young man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes was being pressed to the ground by Gu Qianmo's hands cut back.
Seeing me come down, Gu Qianmo let go of the young man, walked to my side and said, "I have already investigated, he is an ordinary person with no ability. Immediately, she glared at the young man and shouted, "Don't move, or I'll kill you." ”
As soon as the young man came in just now, he was inexplicably controlled, although he couldn't understand what Gu Qianmo was saying, but he also understood that if he moved, he was likely to be in big trouble, and then he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say, I agree." ”
I pulled a stool at random, blew the dust on the stool, sat down and pointed at him, and then pointed at me and said, "What I ask, what do you answer?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." That year, his relatives nodded hurriedly, in order to save his life, he could promise anything.
Looking at the young man's golden hair, I nodded secretly, in fact, I had already thought that this castle is in Europe, so if we want to meet other living people, we must communicate in English, fortunately, my memory has always been good, although it has not reached the point of Cheng Hongsheng's unforgettable, but I can also remember a ** not far from ten, so my English is okay, at least the basic communication is absolutely no problem.
The young man seemed very scared, and in order to reassure him, I started with a simple question: "What is your name?" ”
The young man looked up at me before whispering, "Scoundrel." ”
"Scoundrel?" I wondered how someone could have called that name.
The young man nodded embarrassedly: "I grew up in an orphanage, and since I was a child, I like to deceive people and steal things, and then everyone else in the orphanage called me that, and slowly, my name became this." ”
I sighed slightly, although the scoundrel sounds hateful, but most of the reasons are also related to life experience, as an orphan, there are really very few people who can really grow up healthily and have no mental illness, I think back then, if I hadn't met the Luo family couple who adopted me, in the orphanage, I was also a little bully. It's just that this scoundrel in front of me doesn't seem to have as good luck as me.
I looked at him with some understanding and nodded: "Then what are you here for?" ”
As if infected by my gaze, the scoundrel stood up straighter, scratched his head, and said hesitantly, "I'm here to steal." ”
I was slightly stunned, but I didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and after a while, I continued to ask: "Otherwise, I don't know what I want to ask, you say, I listen, what you want to say, or what you like to say, I'll listen, okay?" ”
The scoundrel was stunned, he understood what I meant, this is a kind of trust, an absolute trust, since he was a child, he has never gained such trust again, even the mother of the orphanage, is extremely disgusted with him, but this person in front of him, who has only known him for a few minutes, trusts himself so much, this sudden trust, makes him a little overwhelmed, but he doesn't know how powerful my sixth sense is, whether he is lying or not, I can judge it soon.
He straightened his chest and said without hesitation: "I'm a thief, this, I never deny it, I found this castle, about half a month ago, that time I drank with another friend, of course, to be my friend, must also do this business, that time he suddenly invited me to drink, I was a little strange, you know, his methods have not been clever, so the son is also tight, suddenly shot so generous, there must be a problem." So, I got him drunk, but luckily he didn't drink too much, otherwise I might have been the one who got drunk first. After getting him drunk, I learned from him that he had discovered the castle and secretly took some things, and after sending them to the antique shop, the owner said that they were medieval, but they were valuable, and after asking for the address of the castle, I arrived here. I'm not stupid though, I've been observing around the castle until now. ”
I nodded, and my sixth sense told me that the scoundrel wasn't lying, so I continued to ask, "So, since you've been observing this castle for half a month, haven't you found anything?" ”
The scoundrel thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Yes, I observed this castle, and set up a tent outside, once in the middle of the night, I was sleeping comfortably, and suddenly I heard that the castle was very noisy, so I got up and looked, and found that Scott ran out of the castle screaming, Scott is the friend I said, he should have run out of money, and came back to get some more." ”
I knew the point was coming, so I leaned forward slightly and asked, "Then what are your friends called?" ”
The scoundrel frowned and thought for a moment before he said with certainty: "He called 'There are ghosts, don't chase me'." ”
Gu Qianmo and I glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then I continued to ask, "Then, what about your friend?" ”
The scoundrel shook his head blankly: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since that night, who knows, maybe he made a lot of money again, where is he happy, ghost?" Where the hell is in this world? ”
I nodded, and casually took out a few gold leaves from the space and threw them to the scoundrel: "You go back first, don't come to this castle in the future, sell these, and do some legitimate business, your real surname is not bad, by the way, leave your mobile phone number, I will look for you if there is something." ”
The scoundrel happily took the gold leaf, and then reported a string of numbers, as if he was afraid that I would regret it, and flew away. (To be continued.) )
