Approaching the Earth Chapter 76 Midnight's Farce
The night is dark, and the bright moon hangs above the dark night sky, like a dazzling pearl in the dark abyss.
Under this white light, everything seems to fall into a deep sleep, and it is unusually quiet.
After a busy day, the Snow Mountain Hotel gradually fell silent, and the employees who were originally busy in the hotel also hid in the warm bed.
At the moment when everyone was almost asleep, Mirmis was the only one left in the hotel who remained awake, staring aimlessly at the empty ceiling.
On the next bed, Vivien hugged Yuzu Tower tightly like a warm giant doll, refusing to let go.
Yuta's sleeping face is relatively plain, just squinting ordinarily, her chest rises and falls, her breathing is gentle, and her sleep is completely unaffected by the environment, which is no different from being at home.
Ye Yu, who was lying next to Mirmis, was facing the ceiling, sleeping very sweetly, with a hara on the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be smiling happily.
In retrospect, the first time Mirmis slept with Ye Yu, she would still have nightmares, and when she woke up, she was like a frightened kitten, helpless and vulnerable.
And now Ye Yu will even laugh out loud in her dreams, which is completely different from the first time she saw her.
Thinking of this, Mirmis unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and some kind of deficiency in his heart seemed to be filled.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise, which seemed to be the sound of metal objects colliding with each other, and it was not far away.
Mirmis quickly got up and got out of bed, his eyes sharpened, and his whole body was ready for battle.
This kind of human beings who are still sneaking in the middle of the night are basically thieves, but it is not excluded that they are more dangerous and criminals who specialize in attacking women.
No matter who the other person is or what his purpose is, the priority now is to find the other person and then subdue him.
Mirmis quietly pushed open the door, her movements were very soft, she didn't make a sound, she slowly poked her head out, looked left and right, the light in the corridor outside was still on, and there was no sign of anyone else in the corridor.
Mirmis tiptoed out of the room, closed the door, and raised his way to the east of the hallway, silently.
The hallways weren't all lit, and after walking some distance, they came to the dimly lit kitchen.
When you get closer, you can hear the sound of rummaging things in the kitchen more clearly, and you can even see a faint shadow, the other party must be inside.
In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Mirmis was not prepared to turn on the light, but fortunately, Mirmis had night vision and could see clearly in the dark.
Milmis leaned against the wall, leaning sideways, and sure enough, he saw a figure crouching in the kitchen, trying to dig something out of the cupboard.
The man had his back to Mirmis, and it was a good time to sneak up.
Although the sneak attack is more shameless, what martial virtues are there to talk about with the thief who steals things.
Mirmis quietly approached the man, and then pressed the other party to the ground, rubbing his face against the floor, this position is not easy for the other party to exert force, it is difficult to break free from Mirmis's restraints.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" The man shouted frantically.
And his cry was so familiar that Mirmis couldn't help but let out some strength.
Mirmis asked with a slight hesitation, "This voice, the manager?"
"Yes, yes, I'm the store manager." The shopkeeper made a voice like begging for mercy, and now he had nothing more to ask for, but hoped that the good man who had suppressed him would let him go.
When Mirmis compared the manager's voice again with the voice of the person below him, he found that it was indeed the same person.
After confirming his identity, Mirmis let go of his hand completely and helped the store manager, whose face was slightly sunken, from the ground.
"Why is the store manager here?"
The store manager rubbed his face, which was already red, as if he had been slapped in the face, and then sighed and said, "I want to ask you this question too."
After Mirmis and the store manager understood each other's situation, the store manager said with a smile:
"You've mistaken me for a thief."
Mirmis sincerely lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't expect the store manager to be hungry in the middle of the night and want to find biscuits to eat."
The purpose of the two people present was very simple, but the result was an unexpected and comical scene.
Mirmis asked, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
If the lights had just been turned on, Mirmis would have been able to recognize the appearance of the store manager, and there would have been no subtle misunderstanding like the one now.
The store manager scratched his head and said a little sulkingly, "I don't know what's going on, the light switch suddenly failed."
It's not bad in the morning, it's not bad in the evening, but it's bad in the middle of the night today, the luck is really bad, and the store manager cursed silently in his heart.
However, out of professionalism, he managed his emotions well, quickly regained his composure, and proposed to send Mirmis back to his room.
The two walked and talked in the light-filled corridor.
The store manager said with some admiration, "I didn't expect you to be quite enthusiastic and come here to catch the thief." But in the middle of speaking, the store manager's tone changed to preachy: "But you are very dangerous like this, I am relatively weak, and it is easy to be subdued by you, but if you really encounter a thief, you may be suppressed by him......
As an elder, the store manager seems to prefer to educate the younger generation than the average elder.
Mirmis did not show disgust, but listened silently, further increasing his willingness to continue.
The store manager was feeling good about himself and continued to speak, when he suddenly felt a blow in his abdomen, and when he looked down, he realized that Mirmis's hand was blocking his way.
The store manager turned his head to look at Mirmis, and wanted to say something more, but he noticed that Mirmis's expression became a little serious, and the store manager suddenly felt bad, and he immediately looked ahead. Chinese Net
Around the corner of the brightly lit corridor, a middle-aged man in a gray coat with a beard, with shoes in his hand, sneaked into the hotel on tiptoe.
This man was the hunter Pluto who had an argument with the employees this afternoon, and at this time, he obviously spotted the two opposite, and his expression suddenly became much more nervous, and he couldn't stop sweating out.
Pluto was stunned for less than a second, and ran without thinking about it, but after less than two seconds, he was intimate with the floor.
Mirmis held Pluto down so hard that he had no room to struggle, not even to scream.
Seeing this scene, the store manager was completely dumbfounded, and muttered to himself, "Was my worry just now too redundant......
The store manager's mood at this moment is like an adult teaching a math problem to a primary school student, only to see him finish the Olympiad with his backhand.
In addition to shock, it is embarrassing, and I can't wait to stuff myself a few seconds ago into the cellar.
"Hmm......" Pluto tried to resist, but the containment from Mirmis was too overwhelming, and now he had difficulty moving his tongue, not to mention his fingers, and could only make a small sound to resist.
"Manager, what are you going to do with him?" Mirmis's voice was so easy that it didn't seem to take much effort to suppress Pluto.
The store manager was silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, "Pluto, for the sake of us being old classmates, I won't bother with you today."
The store manager seems to be disappointed in Pluto, and there is a kind of hatred for iron and steel.
"Please let him go." The store manager pleaded with Mirmis.
In any case, this is the manager's hotel, and since the manager doesn't plan to pursue it, Mirmis naturally has no reason to dwell on it.
Mirmis let go of his hand and walked away from Pluto.
After losing Mirmis's restraint, Pluto instantly felt a lot easier to breathe, and the experience just now was as uncomfortable as having his head forcibly underwater.
"Whew...... ...... pluto, Pluto seized the opportunity and took a few breaths of oxygen before recovering from the lack of oxygen.
Pluto got up from the ground, bowed his head and refused to look directly into the eyes of the store manager, who just didn't
Yan looked at him, but his eyes revealed a trace of tiredness.
"I'm ......" Pluto's voice was small and lacked confidence.
The store manager said righteously, "I know why you came in, but there really isn't anything you want here."
Pluto wanted to speak and stopped, his mouth just opened, and then immediately closed, Pluto knew that he was wrong, and did not dare to continue to say anything, and after a moment of silence, he squeezed out two words: "Okay."
I saw Pluto silently pick up the lock-picking tools scattered by the door, stuff them into his purse, and then leave like a dead dog, his back full of remorse.
The manager closed the door to the hotel and locked it again.
Mirmis asked, "Is he looking for a snow monster?"
Hearing the word "snow monster", the store manager seemed to hear something nostalgic, and replied with emotion, "Yes, snow monster."
"Interested in hearing some old stories from me?"
"Please."
"Pluto used to be a little transparent in the class, and because he didn't have much presence, he was both inferior and introverted. But one day, he rushed to the class and stood on the podium table to announce that he had seen a real snow monster. There was silence in the class, then laughter, and no one believed what he said."
The store manager added, "I still remember how he looked at that time, his face was red, his fists were clenched, and he was very unwilling and ashamed."
"Since then, he's gone mad, vowing to find proof of the Yeti's existence. There were fewer and fewer people in the village, but Pluto persevered in staying here, looking for traces of the snow monsters. Until now, the village has been developed and turned into a tourist area, and he has never given up."
The store manager shook his head with some regret, "But we all know that it's just a legend, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't find something that doesn't exist at all."
The store manager sighed, "Maybe in a few years, he will recognize the reality."
After talking about these past, the store manager seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's not too early, you can go to sleep."
"Hmm."
The two of them had actually arrived at the door of the guest room, but because of Pluto's matter, they were slightly delayed.
Mirmis walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
