Chapter 90 Tiger and Snake

2021年1月5日，下午3点12分，永平郊区某处废弃工厂。

There is no point in the existence of such a thing as an abandoned factory.From a realistic point of view, its existence can only show a certain trend that once existed in society, and then there are delays in municipal management... But from a two-dimensional point of view, their existence is To serve as a stronghold for the underworld, to provide a venue for kidnapping incidents, and perhaps to provide a venue for the final decisive battle...

All in all, once places like abandoned factories appear in novels, animations and comics, bad things often happen.Regardless of whether it is due to the fact that the abandoned factory itself has the characteristics of being inaccessible and not allowed to enter, it is often not carefully thought out when it is described in this way, and it is simply a convention.

This abandoned factory has the characteristics of Practice [-] and Practice [-] at the same time.

First of all, it is a stronghold of the underworld. "Military Master, you're back?" A young man with hair cut and blown in the shape of a punk stood in the shadow by the entrance with a steel pipe in his hand. He greeted the thin young man who came in.

"Ah~ I'm back—didn't I say it? You can just call me Xiao Yi~" It's not that Xiao Yi didn't see the other party's contemptuous and playful call of "Military Master", but he didn't go too far either. He didn't care about it, but responded with a bright smile, as if the other party was saying hello to himself respectfully, and nodded kindly.

"..." The little gangster's face instantly distorted, but he didn't spit until Xiao Yi walked away, and cursed in a low voice, "Bah, what the hell. Do you really think of yourself as someone? Boss does too , I didn’t care much before, but I don’t know why, these two days I suddenly think of this little brat.”

No matter whether Xiao Yi heard the scolding that echoed a lot in the empty abandoned factory, he didn't react to it, he just walked up the stairs full of dust and building material waste to the second floor, and walked into the one room.

Different from the messy and messy environment outside, the interior of the room is very neat and elegant, even luxurious.A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes showing a fierce look was lying on his back on the recliner, with his feet on the mahogany desk. When he heard the doorbell, he didn't move, just said calmly He said, "Military division?"

"Yo~ Boss Lin Hu~" Xiao Yi added trills at the end of every sentence, matched with the smile on his face that almost closed his eyes, as if he would be very happy no matter what he said, "How is it? Last time What are you thinking about?"

"To be honest, I still don't quite accept that you are from another world—"players"." Lin Hu put his feet away, sat up, and crossed his hands between his brows, "However, since you really It has been confirmed that you are not an ordinary person who can be resurrected at a fixed point—and Mr. Lin Qing’s words also confirm your statement, the most important thing is—"

"On TV, on the radio, on the Internet, and even in the newspapers, there are all reports that this world is a game. If this is just a joke aimed at you, it is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Xiao Yi spread his hands , laughing as if telling a very funny joke, "Your judgment is correct—but this kind of development is really surprising~"

"Yeah." Lin Hu put his hands across the bridge of his nose, and nodded his head slightly, "Mr. Lin Qing only told us before that 'the world will change, all kinds of visions, many strange people, and all kinds of strange things will come. World.’ Such inexplicable words—I really didn’t expect such a ‘world will change’.”

Xiao Yi's face twitched, and he put his hands on his stomach subconsciously - obviously, some things before had left him with a rather deep psychological shadow, and then, although Xiao Yi still had a bright smile on his face , but frowned slightly, and said with such a nondescript expression: "Boss Lin Hu, you say 'Mr. Lin Qing'—do you respect him very much?"

"Yes." Lin Hu nodded again, ignoring Xiao Yi's somewhat green face, and said to himself, "Mr. Lin Qing saved my life—and it was after I committed a vicious attempt to kill him, Uh, under the premise of controlling a body. If there is no Mr. Lin Qing, I am just a ghost floating in the copy of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. What can't be done, this is due to reason. Based on emotion and reason, it is natural for me to respect Mr. Lin Qing."

Xiao Yi opened his squinted eyes slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "Then, what do you mean—"

"Don't get me wrong. It's one thing for me to respect Mr. Lin Qing; it's another thing for me to choose to cooperate with you, adopt your plan and betray Mr. Lin Qing. There is no relationship between the two." The corner of Lin Hu's mouth suddenly raised a chilling sneer, and there was an aura of calm and prestige all over his body, "I have adopted your plan."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi's eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Lin Hu with weird eyes for a long time, frowned and thought, muttering calculations repeatedly, and after a long time like this, he said in a weird tone, "Uh , then, that's it..."

"Don't you understand?" Lin Hu showed a 'friendly' smile that could scare a child into tears, "It's very simple. Under the current environment, it is obvious that the camp of 'players' has far more advantages than us natives You are both human beings, but you can be resurrected infinitely, possess physical functions far stronger than most of the natives, and possess—'magic', isn't that what it's called?"

"More importantly, this is our home field, it doesn't belong to you, even if the world is devastated, you don't care, and you can come and go freely in this world, as far as we are concerned, we can't find you here at all The way to go there. This means that you, as strong men, can have no scruples—what else can I do in the face of such a strong opponent?"

"...The decisive battle to the end?" Xiao Yi still frowned, but laughed again.

"Haha, I believe that Mr. Lin Qing will also understand my choice. After all, in my opinion, Mr. Lin Qing is not a person with firm belief. The reason why he organizes a group of people to fight against the players is my fault. I think it's mostly because he thinks it will be more fun." Lin Hu still maintained his previous posture and smiled.

"Huh?" Whenever Lin Hu mentioned Lin Qing, Xiao Yi's expression would be very rich, "I believe that guy is crazy, but will he really understand your choice? You betrayed him , would he be so kind?"

"No, why don't you always understand the difference? Mr. Lin Qing can understand me, but it doesn't mean he will forgive me, and it doesn't mean that he will treat me as his own -- Mr. Lin Qing said, nodding It’s possible to kill me with a single shot after approval.” Lin Hu smiled openly and unrestrainedly, “Haha, all in all, personal feelings really don’t have that much influence on his behavior.”

"..." Xiao Yi was silent for a while, shook his head, and once again showed a heartfelt and happy smile like a child receiving a gift, "Ah, after all, I am not yet an adult, all these twists and turns of your adults I don't need to be so clear, do I? In short, what you mean is that no matter what you are thinking, things will go on as I thought?"

Lin Hu laughed again: "If you expect that I will definitely follow your plan, then yes. Do you want to inspect the goods?"

"Inspection?" Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Is this——your side, this, a kind of 'slang'? It's an interesting term. However, in 'inspection' Before, I have one more thing to say."

"Oh, military advisor, please tell me." Lin Hu nodded with a smile.

"Well, you're imitating Commander Ikari in this pose, right? Then don't laugh so boldly! The sense of disobedience is very strong!"

"This is a common action when I think about it. Commander Ikari, who is that? Why should I learn from him?"

…………

Five minutes later, there was another room on the second floor of the abandoned factory. Compared with Lin Hu's office, it was obviously much more dilapidated and dilapidated, and it was very narrow. It was mostly used as a storage room for sundries.After these gangsters occupied this place, they still used it as a storage room, but what was stored was not sundries, but people.

"This, Miss Zhang Lanhua, isn't it?" Lin Hu made a very gentle gesture, and greeted the woman who was tied up and thrown on the ground with a smile, "You have two reasons for coming here." Three days? How are you doing?"

Zhang Lanhua——that is, the gangster girl who joined Lin Qing's NPC team after the dungeon of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. There were no obvious scars on her face, and her clothes were not damaged. Although she looked haggard, she was not obviously dehydrated or hungry. This shows that she has not been severely abused—however, when she saw Lin Hu, she just shrank back in fear, trembling all over, and dared not say a word.

"Oh? Am I so scary?" Lin Hu always wore a simple and clean suit, but he didn't seem to care much about the attire. He sat cross-legged on the ground carelessly, raised his left hand and supported his head on the back of his hand, and said with a smile , "Looking at it this way, your answer seems to be 'no'. Because you see, no matter how terrible I am, if your answer is 'yes', you will answer it?"

Zhang Lanhua's lips trembled, and fine beads of sweat ooze from her head: "Okay - ok, ok..."

"I see. The conditions here are really not good. It would be the best if you can barely accept it. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Lin Hu nodded, and there was nothing terrible on his face. The look, as if he was talking to a friend who came to his house as a guest, "By the way, are you willing to talk about it? Mr. Lin Qing, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Lin—Lin Qing him, he gave me 10 yuan, told me to go back, tell the people in the village that I found a good job, and then treat everyone to dinner and tell everyone that I am doing well— ——" Zhang Lanhua pursed her lips, and repeated the words she had repeated many times in the past few days, but she only said half of them. The moment Lin Hu frowned, she closed her mouth.

"Mr. Lin Qing, why did you do this?" Lin Hu frowned for a moment, then asked again with a smile.

"He—he promised me." Zhang Lanhua trembled again for some reason, "In exchange for my body being lent to him, he promised to help me get out of that place, and—then, help me return to the folks , in the end, lead me to an exciting, new, better life that I—I hoped for...."

"It doesn't sound like you made it up. Only Mr. Lin Qing likes to use so many modifiers in a sentence." Lin Hu's smile is much more gentle, even his face full of flesh They all became honest, and Zhang Lanhua seemed to relax a little bit, and looked at Lin Hu with a strange expression for a long time.

"That, that," Zhang Lanhua seemed to feel that the atmosphere had eased a lot, and she took the initiative to speak, "I, I—"

"Well, do you have any questions? Don't be afraid, it's okay, please tell me." Lin Hu's attitude was very kind, as if he was talking to Zhang Lanhua on an equal footing—if Zhang Lanhua was tied up Words thrown on the ground.

"This, you - aren't you also, Lin Qing's, a member of the team? Why..."

Lin Hu listened with his expression unchanged, but Zhang Lanhua's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.After waiting for a while, Lin Hu confirmed that Zhang Lanhua didn't intend to continue talking, and then he opened his mouth to respond: "Why are you arrested? Well, if I say, this is Mr. Lin Qing's arrangement, the purpose What do you think about fulfilling your desire for an 'exciting life'?"

"Then, then I don't want it! I don't need this wish, please, please let me go!" Zhang Lanhua suddenly tried to stand up, but her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell to the ground again, shouting excitedly , as if grasping the straw of life-saving.

"How is that possible? What are you thinking? Although Mr. Lin Qing thinks he is not a good person, if he knows that you think he will do such a thing, he will probably be very upset?" Lin Hu laughed again, He stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, pushed the door and walked outside, and said as he walked, "I arrested you for my own reasons. As for this reason, you can think about it yourself."

Zhang Lanhua froze there, with an expression of fear and despair on her face. She stared at the closed door for more than a minute, and then burst into tears... Although she knew it herself, In the dark and narrow room, no matter how loudly you cry, it may not be able to reach the ears of the gods—here, the only one who can hear the cry is the devil.

"Big sister?" A short and thin figure opened a cracked door at some point, looking left and right, like a child trying to do bad things - from the appearance, this person seems to be a child, "Why are you here? cry?"

"Huh?" Zhang Lanhua, who was still crying, felt a little flustered when he saw someone coming in suddenly, and subconsciously prepared to tidy up, only to remember that he was tied up, smiled awkwardly, and did not speak again.

The boy opened the door a little more, took two steps in, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Big sister, why are you tied up here? Who did it?"

Before Zhang Lanhua could respond, the young man asked himself and answered: "Uh——no one dares to use this place without permission. Is it Boss Lin Hu who locked you here? What did you do to offend Boss Lin Hu?" something?"

Zhang Lanhua nodded, then shook her head again, then frowned, as if she wanted to speak.

The young man already understood: "Boss Lin Hu locked you here, but you didn't do anything to offend him, right? Well, that might be kidnapping. What good does it do Boss Lin Hu to kidnap you—ah, sorry, You're still tied up, and now's not the time to think about such things. Well, why don't I untie the rope for you—will anyone else be here in the meantime?"

"No, I won't." Zhang Lanhua shook her head, "Well, I don't know very well, but it shouldn't be. In the past two days, Lin Hu has been here twice, and only the food delivery person has come back. I am not yet Very hungry - so no one should come."

"Delivering food? Didn't big sister try to escape during the meal?" The boy asked innocently.

"...I didn't untie it when I was eating." Zhang Lanhua bit her lower lip.

"Then how do you eat—" Seeing Zhang Lanhua's expression, the young man changed the subject in embarrassment, "Ah—then, let me loosen the rope for you, big sister."

Two minutes later, the young man was sweating profusely from exhaustion with his clumsy techniques, and finally untied the rope on Zhang Lanhua's body, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Huh—it's not easy to untie the rope in such a dark place. Big sister, let's hurry up!" Get out of here!"

"...Is there no guard outside?" Zhang Lanhua sat on the ground for a while and frowned.

"Ah! I forgot..." The boy showed an embarrassed expression, "There is no one at the entrance here. But there are people guarding the entrances of the factory...Then what should we do?"

Zhang Lanhua looked at the boy, sighed, and smiled: "Compared to that kind of thing, who are you? Why are you here?"

"Ah, I'm just an ordinary high school dropout. Because I think ** is very handsome, I'm now working as a handyman under Lin Hu's boss. But it's just a handyman now, and I will definitely be able to achieve something in the future Great cause!" When the young man said this, a smile like the rising sun bloomed on his face, and the light of hope in his eyes was so real that it almost lit up the room.

"You—" Seeing the young man, Zhang Lanhua seemed to see her past self. She wanted to persuade her, for example, asking "What kind of great career do you want to achieve?" Just smiled and nodded, "Isn't that great? Then what are you doing here?"

"Adventure!" The young man's smile was spotless, "I have been with Boss Lin Hu for so long, and I have never made a proper transfer to our base, so today, Boss Lin Hu gave me a holiday, so I came to take risks! As a result, the adventure came first. I saw the imprisoned big sister when I stopped, it was like the protagonist of an adventure story!"

"Pfft——" Zhang Lanhua suddenly laughed, and her smile was flamboyant.

"Big sister, are you laughing at me!" the boy said angrily.

"No, I just think what you said makes sense, haha." Zhang Lanhua smiled really happily, "Then, my lovely little hero, is there any way you can rescue me?"

"...Uh, this..." The boy's expression became very embarrassed.

"Haha, don't worry." Zhang Lanhua showed a bright smile, "Thank you for helping me loosen my tie for a while, I feel much more comfortable now! In fact, there is nothing wrong with staying here. You can eat and drink. There was no particular abuse."

"..." The boy lowered his head, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Zhang Lanhua stretched out her hand—pausing in the air for a while, as if to relieve the tingling feeling before, then pressed it on the boy's head and rubbed it a few times: "Thank you very much. This is enough for big sister , I will trouble you later to tie me up as it is, thank you for your hard work."

The boy's face suddenly twisted a few times, and then he showed a squeezed smile: "Ha..."

Then no one said a word until 10 minutes later.

"Ah! I thought of it!" The boy suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What did you think of?" Zhang Lanhua was taken aback by the boy's sudden movement.

"I thought of a way to get you out!" The boy looked extremely excited and excited.

"What?" Zhang Lanhua smiled gently, but did not appear excited.

"Oh? Don't you trust me? Then I won't tell you!" The young man proudly raised his head, "In short, as long as you believe in you, as the protagonist of the adventure story, I will be able to rescue you successfully. That's enough!"

Zhang Lanhua smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, my little hero, I believe in you."

"Hmph." The young man rolled his eyes, "You still don't believe me? I'm going to - no, not now, at least until night... big sister, can you be wronged and tied up for a while longer, until night?"

…………

4:[-] p.m. sharp. "Little friend, don't play here, okay? The machines inside are very dangerous." Lin Hu kindly persuaded a child who had walked around the factory many times, and asked him to leave here.

"Big man, what nonsense are you talking about! This factory is so broken, I'm afraid it has been closed down for a long time?"

"..." The corners of Lin Hu's mouth twitched, he closed his eyes and bowed his head in silence for a while, and when he raised his head again, he had turned into a vicious look, "Little devil! Don't babble here, please be nice. If you don’t leave, do you still want me to drive you away! Get out of here!” Lin Hu raised his hand and slapped you.

"Ah——so dangerous, so dangerous... What the hell are you doing, big man! Is there an adult like you who directly touches children! I—"

"Still talking nonsense!" Lin Hu roared again, and the child trembled in fright, shut his mouth and turned and ran away.

"Ah, why are these kids so virtuous?" Lin Hu patted his forehead like a headache, "Knowing so much, but don't know how to listen to others, you have to be rough to scare him. Knowledge The more the more reactionary, it really makes sense."

"If you speak so imprudently, be careful that you will be shut down. And if you say it from your mouth, then it's not a mobile phone shutdown, but a life shutdown." Xiao Yi walked over from behind, smiling brightly .

"Why do you always like to use these inexplicable metaphors?" Lin Hu shook his head, "Military division, to be honest, I really don't understand why you are so interested in that Zhang Lanhua, I think what she said should be true Yes, Mr. Lin Qing didn't arrange any special tasks for her."

"First of all, at least we can get Lin Qing's contact information through her, maybe even the home address directly. In this way, we can somewhat take the initiative." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Secondly, Lin Qing will not let this kind of human resources be abused." Waste, so even if there is nothing now, she will be arranged to do something in the future."

"I see. That's why you don't want us to torture her, but you want to use this method?" Lin Hu nodded, "However, although I don't seem to be qualified to say it, as an elder, I still want to tell It's not good for you to cheat a girl? Especially if you plan to cheat a girl's heart, it's even worse. "

"It's not bad, but vicious." Xiao Yi's smile was still as bright as the sun, "However, I like the word vicious—just like I like snakes very much. Cold-blooded, deadly..."
