Volume 1 The Rhine Chapter 3 Disappearances

Before dawn, everyone in the Cvil Pavilion was woken up by a hurried ringing phone.

This is one of the problems of Fudeshi, and it belongs to the same type as the pendulum clock that does not ring on the hour.

It's just past five o'clock, and for the rambling end city, this kind of call is simply inhumane.

Hearing that no one answered the phone, Su Xuan got dressed and went downstairs. But when he got to the living room, Mrs. Ann Lina was already standing in front of the phone, and her face, which was already low blood sugar, became even paler after answering the phone.

"Something happened." After putting down the phone, Su Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It was someone from the Doomsey Police Department who called and asked if we had anyone else living here last night. They're going to search for it. ”

"Why are they asking this, you're sure someone from the Last City Police Department called."

Mrs. An Lina said in an affirmative tone: "It's Minister He Yuehong, I can't be mistaken. ”

Minister He Yuehong is one of the most popular police officers in the end city, and in just over a month after coming to the end city, Su Xuan has seen many of his deeds on TV. I have the impression that Minister He Yuehong is a fairly mature middle-aged man, who is known for his fairness and fairness in the last city. He thought of Mrs. An Lina's age, but Su Xuan didn't continue to doubt it.

After a few moments, the doorbell of the Cvil Pavilion rang.

Standing at the front was a middle-aged or little old man in his forties or fifties wearing a gray raincoat, with a dignified face like a knife, a mustache, and eyes full of eyes. He is none other than the Minister of Security, He Yuehong. He was followed by two young assistants, their expressions tense and their eyes serious.

The police car, submerged in the rain, parked quietly, as if for fear of disturbing the neighbors.

"It's Mrs. Ann Lina, it's been a long time." The little old man greeted him with a smile, which made the originally tense atmosphere melt at once.

"Xiaohe, what's going on?"

Mrs. Annlena led them through the door and wanted to give them a hot drink, but Minister He quickly said, "No trouble. We don't have much time. Did you have any new guests staying here last night? ”

If you want to talk about newcomers, those five imps are here to work.

Mrs. Annlena said, "Yesterday, we just hosted a few children! ”

"What! Okay, which room do they live in? Minister He suddenly became excited, and his two subordinates also lit up.

"They are in the innermost two rooms on the second floor, but ......"

Before Mrs. Annlena had finished speaking, the three men ran upstairs, and when they reached the end of the corridor on the second floor, they pushed open the door and found several restless children sleeping on the bed.

Minister He was stunned, "Are they really some little ghosts?" I thought ......"

Mrs. Annlena said, "I'm talking about these children, they are wandering children near the end of the city, shouldn't they do bad things?" ”

Mrs. Ann Lena's tone grew weaker, for she realized that even if these children went out and stole something, they wouldn't necessarily think it was a bad thing.

Minister He comforted her and said, "No, someone went missing from the mansion yesterday, and the person who had contact with the missing person yesterday was a director of the Western Express of the end of the city - Jing Dasan." ”

"Third uncle?" Su Xuan was surprised.

"This is Mr. Jing Mengfan?"

"No, this is our guest, Mr. Jing's friend. Mr. Jing hasn't gotten up yet. Mrs. Ann Lina introduced.

"I see, it turns out that the assistant Jing Dasan said is that kid. I'm really sorry, but until the missing person is found, Mr. Jing may not be able to move freely. Go and wake him up! ”

Minister He instructed his subordinates, and at this time, the door next to him opened, and Jing Mengfan, who was sleepy-eyed, walked out, and he complained, "No need sir, I'm already awake." ”

"But sir, we really don't have anyone else here, we can't bring anyone out of here, and it's no good." Jing Mengfan said with a yawn.

"Don't worry, boy, our last city police department will definitely give the truth justice."

Minister He patted him on the shoulder, he has been a police officer for many years, he can tell at a glance which are good children and which are bad children, this kid is a typical type who does not do bad things and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Compared to this kid, he glanced at the child standing behind Mrs. Annlena a few more times, and he had a strange feeling of being peeped at.

However, he didn't pay much attention, and after inspecting all the corners of Cvil, Jing Mengfan was taken away by them.

Mrs. Annlena went to prepare breakfast for them, and it was seven o'clock in the morning.

After thinking about how to get to the automatic dessert shop, Su Xuan went downstairs, in fact, what bothered him even more was why he was not taken away, obviously he had also gone to help the third uncle.

But what about the missing man?

There are security guards and surveillance at every exit, what is there way for them to get people out.

Su Xuan suddenly woke up to the fact that the third uncle's electric small three-wheeled cargo box could accommodate two adult men.

At the wooden counter, from left to right, from low to tall, sat a row of imps with their eyes to the right, staring at the honest television with relish.

The show that aired on TV was the Morning News of the End City, a bland show that would give you a good idea of what was going on in the end city. Maybe he could learn something about what happened last night.

However, after the whole show, Su Xuan did not see the slightest report about the disappearance of the people in the Last City Mansion.

You must know that the Last City Mansion is the most prosperous place in the entire Last City, and no wind or grass can escape the tracking of reporters.

Breakfast was hot milk and dry toast. The anxious little ghost dipped the toast in milk and ate it, how did it taste Su Xuan didn't try it himself. Mrs. Annlena patiently taught them to spread the peanut butter evenly on the toast slices with a spoon and then cover it with another slice of toast, so that it tasted much more delicious.

As for Su Xuan, compared to peanut butter, he prefers strawberry cream.

The imps were curious about their new life, they were dressed in the children's dresses left by the old master of Faudes, their hair was neatly groomed, and compared to the mess of last night, they now looked like students sitting in the classroom.

But Su Xuan didn't know that after breakfast, these little ghosts began to discuss again how to distribute the property.

The tallest one is called Big Egg, he patted the table and said: "The land can't be left without an owner for a day, the old curator was arrested for doing bad things, and now I am the new curator!" ”

The second big guy said: "Then I'm the manager, I'm the boss, if you don't obey, I'll fry your fish!" "It's amazing!

Seeing this, Sandan hurriedly said: "I am an overseer, specializing in catching lazy, if anyone is lazy, the monthly salary will be deducted!" ”

"I ..... I'm the supervisor! "First come, first served, Shuang Dan said urgently, and he also said, "Wu Dan, you can be my assistant!" ”

The youngest imp dragged his nose, and he seemed to be more vivid, "Everyone is a big official, but who will be the employee?" ”

Everyone looked at Su Xuan, who had been looking at them, Su Xuan raised his eyebrows, and secretly said that there was a group of arrogant imps!

"Preserved eggs! Just leave everything to the preserved eggs. Twin Eggs said.

Is Preserved Egg his name? Su Xuan put his hand in his pocket, like a cowboy sharpshooter putting his hand on his belt, and the next moment he was about to draw his gun to fight.

He knew that in order to subdue these imps, he would have to come up with some magical tricks.

He put his hand in his pocket to get the coin, he wanted to restore Jing Mengfan's magic last night. Although Su Xuan has never performed magic tricks, he has never seen a pig run after eating pork, and the so-called trick is to use vision to deceive.

But before he could show his powers, the coin fell through the gap between his fingers without him noticing. Su Xuan had no choice but to lie on the floor under the counter, and it took a long time to pick out the coins from under the dusty table with a broom handle.

He is so clumsy, it is estimated that no boss will accept such employees.

There was a sneer from the imps, "This kind of person should be an employee." ”

After communicating with each other, several "leaders" nodded in agreement.

The wind was blowing, carrying cold moisture into the living room. The little ghosts wrapped their clothes tightly, and Su Xuan intuitively felt that the cold wind was biting, and something ghost-like appeared behind the mist.

It was a clown, wearing white gloves, white boots, white gown, white cape, white hat and mask. He came from the heavy rain, but the corners of his clothes and shoes were very clean, and there was not a trace of mud sticking to them.

The white umbrella leaned against the door, and the rain drew a long, curved earthworm on the floor along the tip of the umbrella.

His appearance was so mysterious, but the imps didn't care, "Sir, what do you drink?" ”

Big Egg brought him the menu, and among the group of imps, he was obviously literate.

β€œIt is a small roof and it is wonderful when it rainsοΌŸβ€

"Oh, so you're an alien!" Big Egg said in an sophisticated tone, but he looked like a boss, but the taste of the cottage was too strong.

The clown's mask is a smiley face, so they always think he is kind.

Su Xuan knew that what he said was actually an old door number in front of Fudeshi, and the clown meant that he came in to hide from the rain.

"I'm going to be the store manager for five minutes, so if you want a drink, give me a cup of hot water."

"Why?" Big Dan slapped the table and said, "This guy is here to kick the gym!" ”

"With this!"

The clown waved his sleeves, and his empty hands were holding eight coins between his fingers at some point, as if by magic.

The coins clinked and fell on the table, the imps let out an exclamation, and only the big egg, whose status was threatened, calmly analyzed, saying, "We don't accept counterfeit money." ”

"I'm only a store manager for a while, and the store manager doesn't have to pay. Don't worry, I'll be gone. ”

Big Dan brought him a cup of hot water and urged him, "Hurry up and drink, and you can go after drinking." ”

The clown was wearing a mask, and instead of drinking the cup of hot water, he pulled the cloak and put a mask on the cup, and when he opened it again, seven brightly colored roses appeared in his hands.

He turned a cup of hot boiling water into a rose!

The imps burrowed under his cloak and searched around, pulling at his clothes, but found nothing.

The clown puts the roses in the pockets of the imps' jackets one by one, so that the imps are much more delicate.

"Goodbye, thank you for your hospitality."

After distributing the roses, he waved goodbye, opened his umbrella, and disappeared into the rain in a blink of an eye.

The little ghosts held their heads high, they had never seen such beautiful flowers, and they couldn't wait to call the person back just now and let him be the store manager!

Five imps, five roses, and two more on the counter, Su Xuan also took one for herself and put it in the pocket of her jacket. This looks similar to the "gentleman" and other high-class people on TV.

What a strange clown, Su Xuan took care of the eight coins he left behind, which were indeed not general equivalents and could not be exchanged for goods, but these coins were real and could be circulated in some game halls.

Eight in-game coins, bronze gold, each engraved with eight different characters – C, L, O, W, N, Q, H, 4.

Joker-Q...
