Chapter 390: The World Is Really Bad......
West of the city, Qingyue Street.
The efficiency of the dusty group is still very high, and after getting the address from the gangster Tiger Master, they quickly found this place, and then immediately determined the location of the old captain's hotel.
The fat man looked around the hotel, then waved his hand, and four people came out from behind him, standing in different directions of the hotel, and the remaining one climbed directly from the back wall to the roof of the second floor of the hotel.
Taking a deep breath, the fat man entered the hotel through the main entrance.
"Welcome, you need ......" After a pause, the kind-looking old shopkeeper looked stunned for a moment, then looked the fat man up and down, and asked tentatively, "Uh, excuse me, are you stupid Mr. Harry?"
The fat man's face did not change, but the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he coughed lightly: "Ahem, Harry, Harry is right." Well, you know me?"
The corners of the old shopkeeper's mouth rose, took out a folded letter paper, and his face showed apologies: "Ha, I'm sorry." A little girl named Little Arthur said that if a fat man with a round face and small eyes came to her these days, it would be the stupid Harry. Well, she asked me to give you this letter. ”
"Little Arthur...... Damn, it's slow again!" muttered in a low voice, the fat man covered his forehead rather helplessly, and then reached out to take the letter, but he was not in a hurry to open it, and asked, "Well, she lived here before?"
"Yes, only stayed for half a day and left last night. ”
"Half a day...... Well, did she say anything else?"
"Well, there is a ......," said the old shopkeeper, who nodded his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "She said that if she gave you the letter, you would give me a silver coin as a reward." Haha, that's a joke, of course. Little Arthur was lovely. I talked to the old man for half an hour last night before leaving. Kindness. She said she came out to exercise. I asked her to stay here for free for a few more days until you adults came to pick her up, but she wouldn't ...... Huh?"
Airplanes...... The bell rang, and a silver coin spun rapidly on the counter, flashing a brilliant circle of light. The fat man took a few steps back and bowed deeply: "Excuse me, xiexie!"
The words fell, and he turned and strode out of the hotel.
Didn't go far. More than ten meters away from the hotel, the five people who had been separated returned to the fat man, all shaking their heads.
"Captain, no one came out of the hotel just now. "The room was also searched, and little Carol was not in the hotel. ”
No surprise, nodded, the fat man opened the folded note in his hand, and two place names were written on it, one was the name of the city, and the other was the name of the hotel in the city.
"Is this like that again?" "I really want to die! I'm embarrassed, do you have ......?" She's counting the time...... That's accurate!"
Surprised, ashamed, emotional...... Several people saw the contents of the letter paper and had complicated expressions. Looking at each other, Zuihou couldn't help but shake his head helplessly......
Helplessly, it is certain that these people are Harry, who came out of the residency with little Carol, and the five new members of the third phase of the gray space. When they started first, they watched little Carol go to Josia according to the predetermined plan, and they didn't think much about it, but followed secretly all the way. But who knew that just after coming out of the 100,000 mountains, they were stunned to find that they had lost their target. This really scared Harry, almost crazy, if something really happened to little Carol, he really didn't have the face to explain to the boss.
But just then, a homeless man brought them a note. Well, the errand fee is a silver coin. As for the content, it's pretty much the same as what they're holding now, a city name, a city building name, oh, and a dagger with a skull in it, which is the gray space badge, which was designed by little Carol herself.
By this time, Harry and the others also knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they hurried to the location on the note. Unexpectedly, they received another note, the content of which was still the same. Obviously, little Carol wanted to tell them in this way that she didn't want to be followed, but considering Harry's feelings, she kept her whereabouts to be safe.
But even so, Harry is naturally not at ease, they can't let little Carol out of sight, after all, the world is really chaotic now, so on the one hand, notify the secret agency to help, and on the other hand, continue to track down...... All the way to this.
"Captain, let's take another step. But this time it's only half a day, continue to chase the hopeful. ”
"Not necessarily!" Harry clutched the note, narrowing his small eyes, "Crescent Inn...... I don't know how little Carol knew the name of the hotel, well, maybe it's a travelogue or something. But apparently she didn't know that the Crescent Hotel had been demolished and replaced with the old Captain's Hotel. ”
After a pause, "Think about it, if little Carol has something to do, we will definitely finish the game...... Just to use an analogy, if that's the case, I don't have the face to live to see the boss again. Well, isn't that sad? It's very sympathetic?"
"Uh......" Several members of the gray space glanced at each other, all of them a little confused by the way the east and the west stick spoke.
"Alas, it's sad, you unsympathetic ones!" Harry rolled his eyes, making a covert gesture of disdain, and continued, "Listen, Brother Harry committed suicide because of her...... Whining...... Tsk, it's sure to arouse little Carol's sympathy anyway. Hehe, we've been looking for it all the way, and she's sure to know. So just to keep me from going crazy, she'll make sure we've found the old captain's inn with a changed name!"
"Uh, what does the captain mean...... Are you saying she's watching us nearby?" said one of the most responsive young men in shock.
"Not bad...... Rub, don't turn your head!" Harry hurriedly stopped the movement of several people who were about to turn their heads to search, and whispered, "Let's go, let's get out of here first." ”
"Huh?"
"Stupid, isn't it enough to lose face?" Harry stroked his forehead, looking unbearable to look at it, and then waved his hand, "Go first, go first...... Remember, don't make any moves to observe your surroundings. ”
After a few steps forward, Harry looked down and said, "Yes, that's it, a little faster, a little more anxious on his face...... Now is our most hode opportunity, waiting to get out of this urban area...... Oh no, there are only six of us, and the range is too big to comb, well, it's just two blocks...... Remember, not only do you have to search carefully, but you also have to disguise yourself and pay attention to concealment. If anyone finds little Carlo, they must not do it, and everything will be said when everyone gathers over!"
Speaking of this, Harry, who often wore a smile on his face, looked extremely serious, quickly glanced around, and his gaze pierced the faces of several people next to him like nails: "I know what you think in your hearts, but now, put away even the slightest bit of your disapproval and self-righteousness, it will kill you! Since the establishment of our gray space, only one person has died, Felix, died in the earthquake in the pit of the mine." I don't want your name to be next, because it's not just the life and death of you, it's also about the glory and dignity of the gray space! Yes, being able to join the gray space means that you do have potential in some aspect and have met the basic requirements. But you are still far from being a qualified member of the Grey Space. ”
"Don't think that what I'm saying now is to scare you, the facts are already in front of you, a teenage girl will play you around! And now because you still have to consider the search range, hmph, if Michaeu, Luke and a bunch of old brothers are here, even if there are only six people, I have the confidence to turn this city over and find little Carlo!"
Hearing this, the five young men bowed their heads in silence, their expressions were a little ashamed, and they clenched their fists and nodded heavily.
After saying this, Harry's expression softened slightly, and he smiled again, but this smile looked a little bitter: "Well, in fact, why don't you say myself...... I was careless before, little Carol has been following the boss for so long, and she was almost taught by the boss, and she is naturally proficient in techniques such as hiding and tracking, and it will be a matter of time before she discovers us...... Hehe, if you think so, stupid Harry is not wrong......"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Harry disappeared around the corner of the street with a few people.
......
......
The rising sun slowly raised its head, as if it had taken off its makeup, and gradually turned from the previous red apple-like to the bleak white of the fish's belly. In addition to the women who had risen early in the streets, the workers also began to go out, greeting them casually, holding newspapers in slightly better conditions, buying a yellowish loaf of bread from the street stalls, and biting as they went...... A day in the life of a city dweller from another world has officially begun.
About an hour had passed, and more than ten meters outside the old captain's hotel, Harry and the other six people, who had changed their clothes, met again and shook their heads helplessly when they saw each other.
"Captain, should we expand the scope and continue the search?"
"Forget it, let's hurry up and go to the next city. Waving his hand, Harry's expression was rather gloomy, and he muttered in a low voice, "The world is really bad, even children have no sympathy......
......
Harry and the others, who were quickly walking towards the city gate, did not know that on the roof of a four-story shop quite far away from the old captain's hotel, which was also the highest location in this small half of Xicheng District, a little girl lying on her stomach had a full view of their movements.
Frost looked at him and pursed his lips: "Wow, stupid Harry has become smarter too." ”
Bowing his head, his hair was blown off by the cold wind, he spread out a large book with some damage in the corners of his hand, pressed it with one hand, took out a quill from his arms with one hand, put it in his mouth a few times, and crossed out the handwriting of the Crescent Moon Hotel on the paper.
After finishing, put away the quill, close the book, the four half-gold and half-black characters of the Northern Travels came into view, and the name of the gilded author on the side was very dim and could not be seen clearly. Flipping back and forth, she opened the book and looked for it, paused, the little girl brushed her hair with some distress, and said to herself in the wind: "Bran Gregorian 545 years ago? ten years ago...... Sure enough, it's expired......"
