Chapter 148 Complaints
"Railway Six?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Horod's face, and he kept smacking his pipe.
"That's really a bit troublesome..."
They all knew that it was an abandoned railway. Because no one patrolled there, Track 6 became a lawless area.
So no one is willing to take the risk to go there. It is no less than snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which is simply impossible.
The manager nodded helplessly: "Yes, so I am also in a difficult situation..."
Shishi, who had been silent all the time, saw the embarrassment and sorrow on their faces.
"Da da da!"
She kept tapping the tea table with her fingers, obviously getting impatient.
The two silent people subconsciously shifted their gaze, only to see the pair of red eyes and gloomy face in the shadows.
This kind of avoidable thing really made her feel a little unhappy after it happened so strangely.
This also caused the temperature in the room to drop to an extreme level. The steward felt as if he was tightly wrapped by a poisonous snake, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Monster... This woman's power is absolutely beyond common sense, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strong sense of oppression!"
"Humph!"
She crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa, looking down at the two of them with her phoenix eyes, and said in a cold tone: "With so many people, you can't even guard a coal truck?"
"Do you still have value in existing?"
ask?
Forced confession?
No, neither
This sounds more like a question from the king.
"Is this aura of nobility? No...royalty...?"
This feeling was very familiar to the steward, and he became more certain of the other party's mysterious identity.
The already cold room was now even gloomier. The butler tugged at his collar and tried to put on his most ingratiating smile. "This matter really... is indeed closely related to us. The unexpected blood rain caused many monsters to appear, and we had no choice but to provide support for the safety of the people.
Those damned bandits must have been planning this for a long time, taking advantage of this unrest to hijack the coal trucks and also taking away a lot of our supplies."
The steward almost humbled himself to the extreme and threw away most external factors.
After hearing these words, normal nobles would at most complain and curse, or at worst ask them to pay some money.
After listening to this, Shihui's face was still cold, and there was no extra expression on his face from beginning to end, as if he was listening to something insignificant.
For her, there is no need for excuses, only the substance and the attitude to get things done.
If you can't get it out, you will have to pay the price.
But there was really nothing wrong with what the other party said, which made her unable to do anything about it.
At this moment, she suddenly asked: "Where are the coal cars normally stored?"
"Warehouse..." The manager answered without even thinking because he was too nervous.
At the same time, I was also wondering what the other party meant by asking this.
"Hmph!" A smile appeared on Shihui's face for the first time, but it was a cold smile.
Neither the steward nor Horod could understand the meaning of her expression, but their hearts were already beating fast.
Lime blew gently, and the bitter tea in the cup in front of him quickly froze, turning into a perfect ice sculpture.
But the ice did not stop, but continued to spread outward.
The steward had never seen such a thing before and his face was filled with shock: "This...how is this possible..."
However, no one responded to him. The ice spread to his legs and the biting cold hit his face.
'Who the hell is she?!'
The steward could no longer remain calm, and his wrinkled face was twisted together. No one would not be afraid of unknown things, especially those who could easily take their life.
In this situation, he could only look at Horod, and his eyes seemed to be begging him to help him.
"Okay." Horod really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He exhaled a few puffs of smelly smoke: "This little girl has a very vicious personality. As the saying goes, beauty is like a snake. She just suspects you!"
"Suspect me?" The steward was now in tears.
But Horod did not stand on his side this time. Instead, he spoke slowly:
"Since the goods are locked in a tightly locked warehouse, who on earth took the contents away? Don't try to fool me, an old man. The railway bureau's storage warehouse is made of pure iron. Unless they come here with cannons and explosives, there's no way they can blow it open!"
Having said that, he turned his gaze to the lime.
"So the little girl thought of this and became suspicious of you, right?"
???
Shihui was completely confused after hearing this, with a flash of shock in her beautiful eyes. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that the other party's imagination was really strong.
For some unknown reason, I gave myself a strange personality label.
But this may not be a bad thing.
The manager was also very helpless after hearing this, and he sighed deeply before speaking: “We thought so at the time, but we didn’t expect that group of people would come with a group of weird cult members.
Those guys killed the soldiers easily and took away everything inside without leaving a single thing behind. And you didn’t see how the security door was punched through. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrified.”
Finally, he couldn't help but murmur: "This world is completely messed up..."
"What kind of monster can actually break through that iron door?"
Horod's heart was in turmoil, and his mouth was so big that an egg could fit in it.
He knew very well how hard the security iron door was. Although it was not made of the top-notch material, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could open. Even warriors and demon hunters would need some time to open it.
If we have to name someone who can easily open that kind of iron door, it would be Shihui sitting next to him. She is definitely capable of doing it.
So much so that you can use brute force to break through...
Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
"Crack! Click!"
The ice on the steward's body shattered and melted quickly on the ground and the sofa like snowflakes.
He quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, distinguished lady, for showing mercy!"
Shihui didn't care about the hypocritical words of gratitude and thanks. She was already getting angry because all kinds of troubles kept coming.
There are few things that can satisfy her!
The beautiful woman frowned slightly, and the steward felt uneasy again, and couldn't help but sigh about what his brother had said before.
A woman's heart is like finding a needle in a haystack...
Horod stood up, holding a kerosene lamp and called to the two of them: "Okay, instead of wasting time here, why don't you take us to have a look first."
"Hey! Good!"
The steward grabbed this life-saving straw and quickly stood up.
After the three of them walked out of the room and walked for a while, they finally arrived at the warehouse where the coal was previously stored. However, at this time, the door had already been moved to an unknown place.
The manager led the two of them in to check, and pointed at the remaining supplies on the ground and said sadly: "Look, these bandits have robbed everything and taken away everything. We even lost three station staff members..."
"This is really..." Horod took a puff of his pipe, his eyes full of helplessness. After all, this kind of thing was not predictable.
"Did you chase after them and intercept them?" Horod's face looked very ugly: "These guys won't be satisfied just once!"
"Of course, we immediately sent people to intercept them, but they basically never came back. So we simply decided not to go to Railway No. 6. Besides, the sky was always dark, which was a natural protection for these bandits who liked to ambush!"
If we talk about hating the bandits, the manager is at least second, even if he is not the first. So many people and properties have been sacrificed, and they have to be on guard against attacks from these bandits every day, which has gradually weakened their mental state.
Shihui didn't speak a word during the whole process, but kept observing the surroundings with his magic eyes. This warehouse was very large, and it was very difficult to find anything in it.
But the lingering aura of the main gate made her particularly concerned.
"Could it be a new monster created by those cultists? Judging from its aura, it shouldn't be simple..."
However, the danger emanating from the aura was not enough to take her life.
……
After the three of them finished their inspection, they returned to the door again.
The manager said helplessly: "I am really unable to repay it right now. I am very sorry..."
So whether these people would take the things back or not had nothing to do with him. At most, he would send a few people to pretend to do so.
"Railway 6?"
Lime's expression was very calm, even calm.
"Then I'll go and see for myself!"
