I can keep you until five watches [unlimited] verse 45
But Enoch looked at Xie Yinxue and always felt that this person was more restless and dangerous than anyone else.
Enoch pressed the button with a black coin against the number nine, and the elevator slowly started, carrying everyone to the ninth floor, and when the elevator passed the seventh floor, Enoch still asked everyone: "Is there really no one to get off the elevator on the seventh floor?" Today, there are double coins. β
Still no one paid attention to him.
Enoch's face turned green with anger, and his lips were pursed as if he was about to cry, but now everyone who knew his true nature would not feel that he looked pitiful at all.
The elevator opened on the ninth floor, and Enoch wiped the non-existent crocodile tears with the back of his hand and said to the people in the room, "Captain Heer, someone is looking for you." β
The decoration of the ninth floor is not very luxurious - at least not as luxurious as everyone thinks, and even the decoration here has nothing to do with ornateness, but is a little ...... Warm?
For example, the round bed in the house, which is covered with goose-yellow warm velvet and looks soft and comfortable, has a desire to lie down and sleep; There are also small starry lights hanging from the roof, which constantly emit bright golden light during the day.
But the owner of the house stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to them, his back was indifferent, and there was no expression behind him when he turned around, his pale pupils seemed to be immersed in cold light, and the eyes looking at everyone did not have any temperature.
Everyone's expressions were a little complicated, but Xie Yinxue was very calm, after all, he had already seen this bedroom last night.
Enoch asked them, "What do you have to say about Captain Herr?" β
Su Xunlan gently touched Xia Long's waist with her elbow, and Fang Long was pushed and stepped forward: "Captain Heer, are you a ferryman?" β
"Did you come to me for my help?" Captain Heer opened his lips, his voice was neither sad nor joyful, only the condescending coldness of the superior, and he did not directly admit whether he was the ferryman NPC.
Fang Long was just about to say something affirmative when he heard Yun Qian share his experience with everyone: "Ferryman NPCs often don't directly admit their identities, so in future dungeons, you all have to think carefully before you speak." β
Xie Yinxue couldn't help but be impressed by her when she heard this, after all, if there were good old participants like Yun Qian and Nana in every dungeon, then everyone would be able to save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the dungeon.
If there is an old participant like Su Xunlan, who pretends to be a newcomer, or an old man who has made a deal with the ferryman, it can really be called blood mold.
And hearing Yun Qian say this, Fang Long's words that had already surged to the tip of his tongue were swallowed back hard.
Even later, Nana continued Yun Qian and said, "But in this copy, Captain Heer should be the ferryman, yes." β
But Fang Long was not the first person to make a deal with Captain Heer, he turned his eyes and swept behind him, and it fell on Su Xunlan, he smiled and said, "Xunlan, you are so sure that he is the ferryman, why don't you come first?" β
Xie Yinxue lowered her eyelashes, so she saw that after Fang Long finished saying this, Su Xunlan's fingers on her side trembled.
- It turns out that he keeps saying that he has determined the identity of the ferryman's NPC, but in fact, he is still not 100% sure.
However, Fang Long's words just now had blocked Su Xunlan's retreat, although everyone's trust in her was not much, but if she didn't be the first person, then everyone's impression of her might really fall to the bottom.
There are still many more dungeons she has to clear...... In case she encounters this copy of someone again in the future, she must have some ability to bluff people, Su Xunlan said in her heart.
So in the next moment, she raised her head, made a confident and determined expression, walked up to Captain Heer and said to him: "Captain Heer, I have encountered some difficulties, and I hope to get your help to protect my safety." β
After speaking, Su Xunlan held her breath and waited for the man's answer.
But in the eyes of everyone, she still looks calm and composed.
"Okay." Captain Heer nodded, his eyes indifferent, and his voice cold, "Stretch out your hand." β
Su Xunlan did so, and stretched out her hands towards Captain Heer.
Then the man put a black coin in her hand and said: "This is a black coin that condenses pain and remorse, and with it, both darkness and light will avoid you to walk, and eventually you will respond to its call with pain and remorse." β
"Look." Su Xunlan closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was relieved that she had found the right ferryman NPC, or sighing at the price she was about to pay, "I never missed the ferryman NPC. β
Wen Renyan twisted her eyebrows, and immediately discovered the loophole in her words: "So, you are admitting that you are not a newcomer, but an old man, have you seen the ferryman NPC in the previous dungeon?" β
Su Xunlan opened her eyes, and only then did she realize that she had accidentally said something wrong, but it didn't matter, she pretended to be calm and said, "So what?" I was able to identify the ferryman with unmistakable accuracy in each copy, and with his help, I wouldn't have died. β
After speaking, Su Xunlan looked at Heer and asked him, "Captain Heer, what is the price I need to pay." β
But the man said, "You have already paid." β
Su Xunlan looked stunned, and seemed to be a little confused.
She opened her lips and wanted to continue asking something, but was interrupted by Fang Long, who couldn't wait: "What about me?" Captain Heer, do I just need to stretch out my hands? β
"Yes."
Heer responded.
When he put the black coin in Fang Long's palm, he repeated what he had just said to Su Xunlan.
When Zhu Yikun heard this, he couldn't help but complain to Xie Yinxue: "Mr. Xie, do you think that what Captain Heer said sounds a little scary." β
"It's okay, it's normal." Yun Qian heard him muttering and explained again, "Whether it's real or fake, Ferryman NPCs will say something like this when they make a deal with a game participant. β
Then Nana sighed: "Yun Qian and I both felt that although these words sounded scary in the previous dungeons, they should be the scary jokes used by the dungeon, but after listening to what Mr. Xie said, what kind of ending will be faced in the end after making a deal with the ferryman NPC, we realized that this sentence turned out to be a prophecy." β
It is both a prophecy and a warning, an unavoidable death from the moment the deal is made.
- Because all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price. β
However, Su Xunlan and Fang Long, who had already made a deal with Captain Heer and obtained the life-saving black coin, still didn't know what price they had paid, until Meng Bei and Yang Manqing also stepped forward and stretched out their hands to Heer, but the man shook his head slightly.
This action means that they can't afford to pay the price that Heer wants, so the man refuses to give them black coins.
When the two were stunned, Enoch laughed again, jumped up and ran to them, covered his mouth with his hands as if he were telling a secret, and whispered to the people: "Captain Heer is a strange captain with a very strange temper, and he likes nothing and the smell of blood, so if you want to win his favor and beg for his protection, you must keep your palms clean." β
Yang Manqing didn't understand: "Keep your palms clean?" β
"Our hands are clean!" Meng Bei looked down at her hands, "Where is the blood on it?" β
Wan Yu lowered her eyes and said softly, "...... There is blood, it is Shu Guangxuan's blood. β
And the moment they heard this name, Yang Manqing and Meng Bei were stunned, they looked at their hands, as if they saw the blood that they sawed Shu Guangxuan's body with a saw yesterday, and then went back to the bathroom to wash it for a long time.
"But why?" In addition to the look of disbelief in Meng Bei's eyes, there was also an unwilling grievance, "...... He wanted to kill me first, I'm just on guard! β
"If it's really precautionary, you can stun him and run away." Enoch tilted his head at her, an innocent smile and curiosity on his face, "Why can't you let go of the rewards of your guests?" β
Yang Manqing also defended: "But they said that if they agreed, they couldn't stop the performance, and they couldn't go back." β
Xie Yinxue's voice was gentle, and she whispered: "Yes, since you all agreed, why did you regret it again?" β
Yang Manqing and Meng Bei were completely stunned, and finally seemed to have lost all the strength to support their bodies, and they slid down and knelt on the ground and wept silently.
"Okay, okay, don't be so desperate." Although Enoch was the first to comfort them, he walked up to them and crouched down, but his comfort was more like a mockery, "It's still a long time, we can continue to make money." β
"Money?" At the mention of money, Meng Bei remembered the two rubies they earned, and hurriedly took them out of his pocket and asked Enoch, "First mate Enoch, how much can this be worth from you?" β
"Huh this?"
Enoch took the ruby and looked at it, pouted and shook his head, saying, "This one is worthless." β
"How can it not be worthless?!" Yang Manqing didn't believe it, "It's impossible not to be valuable!" β
"For the distinguished guests, it is indeed valuable, and it is a treasure that cannot be given up and must be recovered. But I can't exchange it for gold here. β
Enoch's smile was bright, and his azure eyes were shining like a gem, making people not see a trace of malice, but what he said was like a giant palm poking out of the abyss, which would only drag people into the boundless hell.
He said, "You all know, you may lie, but I will never deceive you." β
Yes, Enoch, the bootstrap NPC, will always only tell the truthβto say what he wants to say.
On the contrary, Xie Yinxue suddenly took out the money from his sleeve pocket, and after handing Zhu Yikun two gold coins plus the remaining silver coins, he bent his knees and half-knelt down, and divided all the remaining gold coins equally among the two of them: "Enoch is right, there are still two days, don't despair." β
Seeing this, Yun Qian also proposed: "In addition to Su Xunlan and Fang Long, we also have ten people, and the guest room on the first floor only needs one gold coin per person per night, then each of us only needs three gold coins for accommodation and meals, and the rest of the money might as well be given to Yang Manqing and Meng Bei to help them." β
Fang Long and Su Xunlan felt that this was unfair, and objected: "We have paid the price, if they pass the customs like this, what are we?" β
"Okay."
Wan Yu ignored them, and was the first to echo Yun Qian's words, after she left three gold coins, she handed over the remaining ten or so gold coins to the two of them, and apologized to Yang Manqing at the same time: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay for you on the day I boarded the ship, because at that time I still hated that you often spread rumors with Shu Guangxuan and Shen Jun behind your back, and I was promoted because I slept with the shareholders." β
"Now I still think what you did was wrong, but I don't know what I would do if it was me in that situation, I just ......" Wan Yu paused, and didn't seem to know how to explain her feelings, maybe the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt and so on, so she finally said, "I hope you can still live." β
After Wen Renyan and He Yao left enough gold coins for daily use, they also put the rest of their money in front of them.
"Yes." Han Si walked over and patted them on the shoulder, "I am also willing to continue to work as a temporary crew member for another two days, I can help you make up as much as I want." β
Yang Manqing looked at everyone in a daze, and finally countless tears rolled out of her eyes, and she clenched the gold coin in front of her: "I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry, I just wanted to live......"
In the previous copy, Xie Yinxue remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say it, and he couldn't tell whether Yang Manqing, who said these words at this time, was truly repentant, or just a good thought before he died, but the apology at this moment should be sincere.
He also had people who wanted to apologize, but he didn't even say a word of sorry.
Xie Yinxue lowered his eyes and stood solemnly, at this moment, he seemed to have a lingering sadness around him, but everyone was looking at Yang Manqing and Meng Bei, and Liu Buhua was not here, so no one noticed his existence, his emotions, and everything about him.
Just as after Chen Yuqing's death, he lived alone on the Mingyue Cliff, and no one would talk to him every year.
Modern high technology also better isolates him from all blood relatives in the distance, greetings only need a mobile phone, a phone call can be solved, even if everyone in the Shen family cares about him and cares about him.
He is to live like this, and not to die.
All people can die, but he can't, and only he must live.
But it doesn't matter, he has now accepted a lot of godsons, even if only Liu Buhua is always by his side to "fulfill filial piety", but this year he still has a little apprentice to raise, maybe this year's New Year's family can be more lively.
"Hey, wait! What do you mean? Aren't you going to continue serving your guests? β
So when Enoch asked everyone angrily, Xie Yinxue raised his eyes and laughed, he has always been so gentle and kind, after everyone found that the tails of his eyes seemed to be a little redder, they could only sigh that there was finally a trace of blood on his sickly face.
"I'll go." Xie Yinxue said to Enoch, and he also called Zhu Yikun, "Boss Zhu, please help me move the massage chair to the seventh floor." β
"Oh, okay." Zhu Yikun moved neatly, and his diligent appearance was completely incommensurate with his size.
The rest of the people also dispersed, and they all began to continue to work and make money as before, only Enoch was dumbfounded, and in the elevator room he went down he circled around the crowd, trying to persuade everyone again: "You can get twice the gold coins for serving your customers today, are you really not impressed?" β
Yi Xiaoli took Yi Zhongjie's hand, walked up to Enoch, and repeated what Enoch had said to them: "First mate Enoch, I now understand that money will only make us corrupt and degenerate, and only by working hard can we exchange hard work and sweat for a new future!" β
Hearing this, Enoch's eyes widened and he roared in pain, "Noββ! β
Enoch's every move was always a pompous performance, so when he covered his face in pain and shouted "no", everyone showed their first relaxed smile since entering the dungeon.
Xie Yinxue couldn't help but sit on the chair brought by Zhu Yikun, looking at Enoch who was squatting in the corner of the seventh floor and wiping his tears.
After laughing, he wanted Enoch to hear something pleasant, so he raised his voice slightly and told Enoch, "First mate Enoch, I'm going to start serving the distinguished guests, and I'm going to have something different today." β
The blonde woman, who had been coveting Xie Yinxue's massage chair for a long time, but had never been able to get it, shook her feather fan and said angrily: "What difference can it be, you won't be willing to sell the chair to me, right?" β
"That's right." Xie Yinxue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "I'm going to sell it today." β
The blonde woman froze, and the feather fan in her hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily.
Xie Yinxue touched her "love chair", frowning as if she was reluctant to give it up: "And the energy used in my chair is different, it can be charged as long as it is basking in the sun, and it can be used forever, alas, it is still a little reluctant." β
After hearing Xie Yinxue's words, the blonde woman immediately raised her hand and offered: "Two hundred gold coins!" β
The old man wearing the green water ghost also coveted the massage chair for a long time, and not to be outdone, said: "Three hundred! β
"I'll give a thousand!" Another hand with a ruby ring stretched out from the crowd of distinguished guests, and that hand carried a bag of gold coins, "I'll give cash!" β
"It's against you!"
