The young man whose face was full of affection just now, now became extremely cold.
"From now on, I want you to stop talking loudly and I want you to stay calm, which I think you should be able to do."
The sudden change frightened Aisa into confusion. She didn't hear the other party's words clearly at the moment, her mind was buzzing, but under the cold muzzle, she still nodded.
Obviously didn't expect this to happen.
After Aisa nodded, she suddenly understood that the young man in front of her was not coveting her beauty or admiring her at all. What he showed just now was all fake, and his purpose was just to get her to open the door.
After being stunned, Aisa asked with a trembling voice: "I think you are a bounty hunter hired by the mayor. At this point, what are you doing here suddenly?"
"If you have an enemy, you can recuperate in my room. It's no problem if you don't go out to fight tonight. My house is relatively safe, but please don't threaten my life."
"You are very smart." Tang Jiumin did not put down his pistol: "But I don't need you to figure out my thoughts. You only need to answer my questions now."
"First of all, the first question is, will anyone knock on your door in the next few days?"
Aisa shook her head and replied: "I just got my period. I put a sign outside that says I won't accept customers. I'm a prostitute. If I don't accept customers, how could someone knock on the door?"
Tang Jiumin nodded. It seemed that his judgment was correct. The purpose of asking Bendis at the door of the tavern was to find a prostitute who had just menstruated and ensure that no one would disturb her.
"Second question, is this house equipped with measures to defend against werewolves?"
Aisa nodded.
"Basically, the houses in the town have measures to protect against werewolves. I earned money to buy this house two or three years ago. The previous owner spent the night of the blood moon in this house. Otherwise, I would not Won’t buy it.”
Tang Jiumin said nothing.
Aisa looked at the indifferent gunman and couldn't help but feel scared, and continued to reassure the other person.
"Believe me, there is a dedicated group of people in the entire town who will test all the rooms in the town to see if they meet the standards and can prevent werewolf invasion. This will not only ensure the safety of the people in the town, but also the safety of foreign merchants."
Tang Jiumin scanned the room when he came in. He found that this room was very strong, and a lot of wooden boards should have been newly reinforced in the past two days.
"So when the blood moon night is coming, you will usually rest here? Aren't you afraid that the werewolves will find you?"
"No, no, of course I'm afraid. We usually go to the basement. This is the safest way. Even if a werewolf breaks into the house, there is still the last barrier. What's more, entering the basement will make it harder for the werewolf to notice that there is someone in the house. "
Aisa subconsciously licked her dry lips. She was too nervous and her mouth was dry, but facing the dark muzzle of the gun, she could only hold it back.
"Very good." Tang Jiumin held the pistol, the muzzle still pointed at Aisa's head, and took a step away, "Take me to the basement."
"well."
The basement goes down the passage next to the bed. The so-called basement is actually a closed room with only some upward vents.
The prostitute lit a candlestick on the edge of the wall, and the entire closed basement suddenly became brighter.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Jiumin saw the prostitute walking over and locking the entire stone door leading to the basement from top to bottom, sealing it, leaving only the ventilation opening.
"You, go over there and sit down."
Under Tang Jiumin's order, the prostitute sat beside the bed.
He himself put away the gun, picked up a chair and sat across from the prostitute.
"Don't worry, Miss Prostitute, I won't hurt your life next, but I'm afraid you have to stay with me a little longer today, because I have many questions that I need you to answer for me."
As Tang Jiumin spoke, he picked up paper and pen from the table next to him, put them on his lap, and started asking the prostitute questions with the help of the light.
"Now let's get to the first question."
"Please tell me the origin of the name Moon Howling Town. By the way, did it have any other names before it?"
"..."
——————————————
[Logical explanation: Prostitutes cannot receive clients during menstruation. Since ancient times, both in China and the West, people in both China and the West have considered menstruation to be unlucky. This is not discrimination, it is history. During World War II, spies used the so-called ominous menstruation of prostitutes to avoid enemy searches. In a sense, this place is safe. 】
The night of the blood moon is coming, and the nights in Moon Howling Town become very dangerous. During this time, people in the town will go back to their rooms before dark and find the safest corner to hide.
In places like taverns and hotels, the walls themselves are relatively tall and strong, and there are also gunmen from the town or those who live outside nearby, so just stay in the room normally. But in other houses, most people would choose to hide in the basement, which is the safest place.
Most hotels in Moon Howl Town will close their doors before 6pm on these days to ensure everyone's safety.
However, when most of the hotels in the town closed their doors, there was a hotel on the edge of Moon Howling Town that was still open.
The boss wants to do more business?
No, the boss felt like he was going crazy as he stood by the hotel door. He was waiting anxiously because so far, one guest had not come back.
There were only minutes left before the entire town was required to close its doors.
"Where have you gone? Why haven't you come back? Oh my god..." The hotel owner didn't stand or sit. He just looked outside anxiously and walked around.
The guest who didn't come back was the guest who gave the hotel owner an emerald ring. The hotel owner had already asked the group of people who came with him, but no one knew where he had gone.
Bad luck.
If I had known earlier, I should have asked the guest when he came to borrow a shovel. Now no one knows where the guest has gone, but he has charged the guest a lot of money!
When the hotel owners thought about the guests they had just asked and heard that they would be forced to close the door if their companions did not come back, they all looked dissatisfied.
Although they didn't say anything, they made the boss's heart skip a beat.
It’s so worrying!
Just when the hotel owner was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw a person coming out of the corner of the street in front of him. The hotel owner took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was the guest who borrowed the shovel and left. He finally came back.
"Great, guest, you are finally back. I'm almost dying of anxiety. It's almost the stipulated closing time." The hotel owner couldn't help but step forward and muttered.
"Why?"
The hotel owner was suddenly stunned. He found that something was obviously wrong with the returning guest.
Not saying anything, the other party was covered in dirty soil. He walked over step by step with a shovel in his right hand. It seemed that the other party didn't hear what he said clearly, and his eyes were a little distracted.
Looks out of sorts.
The hotel owner rushed up to him and grabbed his left hand.
"Hey, guest, what's wrong with you! Our place will be closed soon. Come in quickly, otherwise you may be attacked by a werewolf when it gets dark."
As he spoke, he pulled Liu Ziyun hard to prepare to enter the hotel.
As a result, the hotel owner was shocked to find that he actually didn't pull the other party, and then subconsciously pulled hard, but still failed to pull.
But after several pulls, the effect was still achieved. Liu Ziyun's pupils focused and he finally woke up from the previous state. He looked at the hotel owner in front of him and said sorry.
He followed the boss into the hotel, and the latter quickly ordered the clerk to seal all the doors in the hotel.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the time is almost up, seal the door tightly, and then go back to your room to rest. Let's spend these few days safely."
Liu Ziyun looked sluggish again as he watched the clerks use stone slabs, wooden boards and other things to reinforce and seal the door.
At this time, the hotel owner who had finished arranging things also relaxed and hurried back to Liu Ziyun to check on him.
"Guest, where have you been? How did you end up like this, and why are you back now?"
"Go and boil some hot water and bring it to the room for the guest to clean it up." The hotel owner glanced at Liu Ziyun who was covered in mud and quickly waved to the clerk next to him.
"Ah? By the way, the shovel is here, thank you boss." Liu Ziyun suddenly woke up and subconsciously handed out the shovel, as if he didn't hear what the boss said at all.
Seeing the guest's completely out of state reaction, the hotel owner didn't say anything more, and then handed the shovel to the clerk next to him.
He looked at the closed door and slowly walked inside the hotel.
In view of the guest's behavior of returning after closing the door at the end, the hotel owner was a little uneasy. He was worried that the guest did not understand the horror of nightfall.
"Guest, it's going to be night soon. I have to go back to rest. You should also try to go back to your room as soon as possible. If you stay close to the door, the werewolf will smell it. Although it may not attack the hotel, it can It’s also dangerous.”
"The best thing to do is go back into the room and don't come out."
After that, the hotel owner led the clerk inside, and then shouted to the distance: "You gunmen must protect the safety of the hotel! You can't be careless, I paid for it."
Liu Ziyun was listening to the hotel owner talking, and then he was surprised to find answers coming from certain locations in the hotel.
"Don't worry, we don't want werewolves to come in. Protecting you is also protecting ourselves. We don't want to die yet."
Liu Ziyun watched his boss and the others go back to their room, but he suddenly sat down on the ground and sighed.
At this moment, Zhong Linrong walked over in the hotel lobby.
"You're back, Officer Liu. What happened? You just sat here and sighed as soon as you came back."
"I went to bury the woman. I asked the people in the town where the dead people could be buried. They said there were only mass graves near the town. I had no choice but to take the woman's body and bury her there. A relatively secluded place.”
As he spoke, Liu Ziyun sighed heavily again. He patted the ground hard and spoke in a low tone.
"But I don't even know her name. I only know that she is a single mother with a child at home. The child is only taken care of by her mother. Now that she has lost her mother, what will she do in the future?"
"I want to help in the future, but I don't even know who her child is."
Liu Ziyun felt so uncomfortable that his chest hurt and he blamed himself endlessly.
Zhong Linrong frowned when he saw Liu Ziyun's reaction. He had to give him a warning.
"Officer Liu, I'm afraid you don't have time to blame yourself now. In this so-called trial scene, there are twelve players, one is dead, and there are eleven more."
"I still say what I said, the mastermind behind the scenes will not let us hide in the hotel so easily until other bounty hunters deal with those werewolves. There is something really wrong here."
"We probably need to know a little more about this place."
"Whether you believe it or not, Officer Liu, I have a very bad feeling. Judging from the novels and movies I have read, danger may be coming soon. If we are not careful, we will all die in the trial scene."
Zhong Linrong's words shocked Liu Ziyun.
Liu Ziyun looked up at Zhong Linrong and found that the other person's expression was very serious at this time, indicating that he really thought so.
Zhong Linrong stood in the hall with a stern face and his tone gradually lost his politeness.
"Officer Liu, the most important thing you need to know is that in this trial, only you and I can use firearms, so we are the most important people in this trial. To deal with werewolves, we can only rely on the two of us. .”
"Tang Jiumin was right at the time. Their existence means nothing to us, and they are very likely to become untimely bombs that will hold us back."
"And you don't know that after you left, none of them even asked you where you were. No one was worried about your safety. They just wanted to spend tonight safely."
Speaking of this, Zhong Linrong couldn't help but sneer.
"Selfish and panicked, can they really survive? But that Chen Min is quite powerful. After you went out for a short while, he held several meetings with this group of people to discuss what to do next. what to do."
"As expected of a boss, he is very good at winning people's hearts. But even if he brings that group of people together, what's the use? They are just a group of cowards who can't hold a gun safely."
Liu Ziyun was once again shocked by Zhong Linrong's words, and even evaded them a little.
"What's the point of having a gun?"
"I am now facing everything here and have no clue. I don't know what to do at all. And Chen Min used to be a group boss. He has a lot of experience and has his own ideas. He can unite everyone. Isn't it good? ?"
"Ah."
"Is he trying to unite people?" Zhong Linrong sneered at this and said, "Officer Liu, I think you are thinking too simply."
"First he promised to pay off Glenn's debt, then he said he would provide jobs to two college students, and then he got close to other people. He said overtly and covertly that as long as he got out smoothly, he could provide them with the greatest help as the boss of his group."
"If you take a closer look, you will find that Ge Lun, now that Chen Min has asked him to die, he will probably give it a try. After all, repaying debts and marrying a wife is his obsession, and he is already dead."
Zhong Linrong stopped suddenly, glanced around, and found that no one was eavesdropping. He squatted next to Liu Ziyun and spoke in a low voice.
"I feel that he is not uniting people at all, but is constantly brainwashing this group of people with words so that he can prepare cannon fodder for himself."
"What nonsense!" Liu Ziyun didn't expect Zhong Linrong to say that suddenly. He was a little angry and grabbed Zhong Linrong's wrist.
[Liu Ziyun’s character is exaggerated, but it is based on a real policeman who died. He is not an ordinary policeman. He has his own story, which will be slowly unearthed along with the story. 】
