Chapter Twenty-Seven: Dongcheng District, Galaxy
Emilio carried Sneve and led Xinghe to run wildly in the snow, Mingxing didn't feel how fast she was, but they just couldn't catch up with her, and finally after she stopped, the four of them were already tired and sweaty, out of breath, and gasped for breath.
Emilio, on the other hand, although there was also a layer of sweat on her forehead, her breathing was still rhythmic, and Xinghe was sure that she could at least run for a while, probably to wait for them to stop.
Now it is the middle of winter, the temperature outside is very low, the cold air is inhaled into the lungs, making Xinghe feel some pinprick pain in his chest, plus he ran all the way just now, several of them were already sweating, and their shoes were all filled with snow.
But Sneef, who was thrown directly into the snow by Emilio, seemed to be the most relaxed one, and he was not annoyed, and patted the snow stains on his body after standing up, "Look, isn't this place back again, wouldn't it be better to take this road earlier?"
After Xinghe heard his words, he paid attention to the surrounding buildings, and he was surprised to find that they had unknowingly run into Dongcheng District again, but because most of the buildings around him had been burned, he didn't recognize them for a while.
Emilio also noticed this, her face turned pale, and the short sword in her hand pressed against Snef's throat, "What the hell is on this road?"
Sneve looked at Emilio with a smile on his face, and didn't mean to say anything, so the dagger moved forward a little, making a small cut in Sniff's neck, and a few streaks of blood flowed down the tip of the sword.
Xinghe subconsciously looked away, but noticed Emilio's brow frowning slightly. He looked at Sneve again, and found that a thin black gas blocked the short sword, and seeing this, Emilio could only withdraw the short sword, and the expression on his face was somewhat unwilling.
Sneef didn't seem to mind the cut in his neck, and wiped the blood very casually, "Miss Garcia, the rules of the game are already clear, as long as you can reach the end, you can stab me as many swords as you want." If you have to kill me here, you can play roulette with me. ”
Emilio snorted coldly and put away her dagger.
"What now?" Anton asked.
Xinghe withdrew his gaze from Sneve who had "I'm not in a hurry" written on his face, and began to recall the route drawn on the map, which passed through Dongcheng District past the old factory, then to the dock, and then along the Gong River all the way to the Colosseum, which can be said to be a big circle, so Xinghe just proposed to go straight without going around this circle, and the result was ......
Xinghe continued to think about it, and suddenly he heard a sneeze, and he turned his head to see Lan Yue wiping his nose. There are also Anton and Shigego, who are also trembling and have very bad faces.
Emilio sensed their embarrassment, "Find a place to rest first, and by the way, change your clean clothes." ”
With that, she brought up Sneve again, who did not resist and let Emilio carry him on his shoulder.
It's just that Emilio walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, Xinghe looked at her puzzled, "You lead the way, I don't come often in Dongcheng District." ”
Xinghe's expression was slightly grim, and he remembered Emilio's identity, she used to be a doctor in Jiangcheng Public Hospital, she had a stable income, and she could be regarded as a member of the upper class, such a person would indeed not come to a place like Dongcheng District.
Xinghe began to remember where they could go to rest first, the first thing he thought of was the treehouse where they had lived, but when he thought that the place was deliberately marked on the map by Sniff, he didn't want to go there, so where else could he rest, he turned his head to look at the graffiti on the wall on the side of the street, and suddenly remembered a place.
Xinghe didn't know many people when they were in Jiangcheng, and there were only a few who had a slightly better relationship, and he remembered the stolen goods seller they used to use, Dominic. His pawn shop was the only safe place Xinghe could think of.
However, judging from Jiangcheng's current situation, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart, but in Xinghe's impression, Dominic is still a relatively prominent figure in Dongcheng District, if he is still in Jiangcheng, his pawnshop should not be smashed by the gangsters who don't have long eyes, but thinking of Dominic's face, Xinghe feels that he has a higher probability of running away from the chaos.
But that doesn't matter, with Dominic's personality, he certainly won't leave anything of value in the pawnshop, but it should be fine if he finds some clothes, and the pawnshop has a fireplace for them to rest for a while.
Recalling the mob that stood upstairs and threw Molotov cocktails at them, Xinghe wondered if they were still here and hadn't left, would they be one of those mobs too.
No, Snef's appearance obviously has something to do with Ling, if they are all right, he probably won't show up in Jiangcheng and disturb here, so thinking about it, it seems that Jiangcheng's affairs will eventually have to be counted on their own heads.
Sneef soon noticed that the path of the Starry Belt was different from the route he gave, and spoke on Emilio's shoulder, "Star, I must once again give a kind reminder that the route I gave has a reason for his existence." ”
Dissatisfied, Dr. Emilio continued to speak on his shoulder, shaking his shoulder abruptly, "Leave him alone, continue to lead the way." ”
Sniff, who was pushed into his lower abdomen, suddenly turned pale, obediently closed his mouth, his eyes still looking at Xinghe, and he still had that inexplicable smile on his face.
The smile annoyed Xinghe, and he thought it was probably because Sneve was making him feel uneasy.
Although the appearance of the East City District has changed a little, the pawnshop in Dominica is not difficult to find, and Galaxy quickly finds his destination.
The signboard of the pawnshop fell to the ground, Xinghe walked into the shop, and saw that all the decorations such as vases in the shop were smashed, and all the bargains in the display cabinet in the hall were smashed and gone, and even the gilded sheep's head on the wall was gone, the gilding on the surface of the sheep's head was just a layer of gold paint, and the inside was actually just a piece of wood.
It's just surprising that the door lock on the counter behind it hasn't been smashed, but looking at the situation here, Dominic has probably gone away with valuable things, but Xinghe didn't want to find anything valuable, just wanted to go in and find two clean clothes, and the least thing was to make a fire and dry their soaked shoes.
Dominic's door lock was just the most ordinary kind of road goods, and Galaxy didn't have to make much effort to open it. In a place like Dongcheng District, there are very few locks that can really stump all the thieves, and Dominic, who often deals with thieves, naturally knows very well that with his temperament, it is naturally impossible to invest much in door locks.
After unlocking the lock and entering the inner room, the Xinghe and the others finally relaxed and stretched, and Emilio threw Sneve to the ground.
He didn't seem to mind the fact that he was often used as a punching bag, stood up and patted the dust off his clothes, then sat down at a small square table, and ate slowly at the roast chicken on the table.
Yes, roast chicken, that table was right next to the wall, near a cabinet with a roast chicken on a plate on the table, still steaming.
"Come out!" Emilio shouted into the corner of the inner chamber with her dagger in hand, and Xinghe looked that way, and in the shadows, he saw a figure, and the other party saw them, but they were still standing in the shadows, and had no intention of coming out.
Anton and the others also stopped moving, staring nervously at the man in the shadows, not daring to move, so the only sound left in the inner room was the sound of Sneve chewing chicken.
The people in the shadows also heard the voice, and they cried out, "Put down my roast chicken!"
But Sneef didn't care about this, and was still enjoying the roast chicken, and the people in the shadows were anxious and shouted, "Who are you doing, I have agreed with Fawkes, and this territory belongs to me." ”
Xinghe always felt that this voice sounded inexplicably familiar, and he asked tentatively, "Dominic?"
"Huh?" the man in the shadows exclaimed, took two steps out, revealing his trademark mustache and gold-rimmed glasses on his face, he was holding a loaded crossbow, and looked at Xinghe in surprise, "Didn't you leave Jiangcheng?"
Then he saw Emilio with a short sword in his hand, and his face immediately became gloomy, and he raised his crossbow and aimed it at her, "Demon spirit, get out of here, this is not the place you should be." ”
Emilio's face suddenly darkened, and the muscles on the hand holding the short sword burst out, Xinghe could see that she was very angry, if it was normal, Dominic, who was holding a crossbow, would probably be able to knock down with just one blow.
But Xinghe remembered that Dan Huangsheng had said that the collar that Sneve put around their necks would limit their magic, and now they were no different from ordinary people. Listening to the conversation between Emilio and Dan Huangsheng, he knew that she had been a soldier, but if she couldn't use magic, she couldn't be faster than Dominic's crossbow with a short sword.
Maybe I can help her, but can I deal with a crossbow arrow with the object transfer spell I just learned? Xinghe was not at all sure, just at this time, Sniff, who was eating roast chicken, still thought that things were not messy enough, so he made up for it, "Tsk, obviously it was still high two days ago, why is it now that everyone is begging for a beating?"
"Who's there?" Dominic took a step forward, walked around the cabinet, and looked at his table, and when it became clear who was sitting at the table, he had a ghostly expression, his mouth was big, and the crossbow in his hand fell to the ground without grabbing it.
"You... You... You guys... You—" He pointed at Sniff and then at the galaxy, but he couldn't tell the reason for a long time. PS: It feels good to write today, there are two possibilities, one is that I feel back today, and the other is that my feeling is completely useless. Anyway, I'd like to ask for a little referral vote.
