The entire bar counter was pressed very tightly. If I hadn't applied my force evenly, and the paper had a plastic seal on the outside, I would have almost torn a tear in the paper just now.
Xie Chen stood up and patted the dust. He held the note in his hand. It felt very wrinkled, and the plastic seal on it was also very old.
Xie Chen did not check it immediately, but stuffed it into his pocket.
After doing this, Xie Chen sat down on a chair, and then took out a glass cup from the cabinet diagonally below the bar.
Looking through the reflection on the cup, he saw the middle-aged couple behind him staring at him with squinted eyes.
Xie Chen didn't care, as his actions just now can indeed arouse the imagination of those who are interested.
After picking up the cup, Xie Chen turned around and walked towards the bar.
Then he took out a bottle of fresh milk from the cabinet diagonally above the wall, and slowly filled the glass in front of him.
After sitting down safely, Xie Chen picked up the cup and drank in one mouthful, and then the middle-aged couple's eyes left his body.
After seeing them turn their attention to Sol outside the door, Xie Chen gently reached out to touch the note in his pocket.
As the note began to unfold, Xie Chen gently spread it flat on the table, trying not to let others notice.
Xie Chen took another sip of milk and lowered his head to look at the note. The handwriting on it was very blurry, and it was almost impossible to see it clearly without relying on strong light.
Xie Chen moved his head closer and lowered his head to check.
It's a pity that only a few blurry characters at the top can be seen.
"Beach lifeguard... job..."
Xie Chen's breathing immediately became a little rapid.
This note actually related to Saul's work content.
The job requirements in it should be able to answer some of the doubts in my mind now.
Even Saul's attitude towards this code of work was a bit too hasty. It is estimated that even he himself would not know where it was lost if he found it.
Of course, this is not certain.
Xie Chen drank all the fresh milk in the cup, shook his wet hair, and walked out the door.
The clothes soaked by the sea water clung to my body, which was really uncomfortable.
As he passed the door, his mother walked in from the outside. After Xiechen explained, he took out a set of dry clothes that he had prepared in advance from the backpack at the door.
Sol, who had temporarily settled the conflict between Wu Yu and Bian Tai, saw him walking out with his clothes, and immediately came over to stop him.
"Where are you going now?"
Xie Chen raised his hand and lifted up the dry clothes.
"My whole body was covered with sea water and it was so sticky."
"I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, and I'll come back later."
Sol nodded: "I was thinking of finding those two young lovers first. It's already past three o'clock. Please pay attention to your own safety."
Xie Chen agreed, and then walked towards the diagonal left side of the house.
Others are not important to him for the time being. As long as his family is fine, the copy can be successfully completed.
Although he doesn't care about the life and death of others, this is a weird world. Relatively speaking, this copy does bring out the enemy targets first, but it does not allow him to do those useless things that have a strong sense of justice.
The bathhouse on this beach is located to the right of the toilet, behind the house, and has complete facilities.
After Xie Chen entered a bathroom stall, she hung up her clothes first.
After taking off the top that was soaked by the sea water, Xie Chen looked around outside and gently closed the door.
Then he squatted down and looked at the gap below to make sure no one came in and stood outside.
After confirming that it was correct, Xie Chen took out the dusty plastic note from his pocket and compared it with the sunlight shining in through the window.
The sunlight penetrated the plastic sealant, and the indistinct fonts on the note slowly appeared in my eyes.
[Beach Lifeguard Code of Conduct:]
[Rule 1: You must bring at least one bottle of detergent and a flashlight to work every day. When you go to work during the day, you only need to sit in your seat and keep an eye on tourists to prevent them from entering the deep sea alone. district. 】
[Rule 2: When tourists insist on going to the deep water area, please go with them. Please remember that only you can save them in the deep water area. 】
[Rule 3: When in deep water, please always pay attention to the movements around you. There should be and only the shouts, breathing, and waves of tourists around you. When you hear sounds that clearly do not belong to the above two types, please take out your hands. Spray your cleaner in that direction and whisk the visitor away immediately. 】
[Rule 4: When tourists come to inquire about renting water equipment, please tell them the rental time and usage requirements of the water equipment. 】
[Rule 5: Before the sun sets, please use the loudspeaker to tell tourists that the tide is about to rise. Please leave the sea immediately and board the vehicle back to the city. 】
[Rule 6: From when the sun sets to midnight the next day, please make sure you have a clear mind at all times and pay attention to the sounds outside. When you hear the sounds of tourists, please immediately bring a flashlight and at least two bottles of cleaning fluid. Go out and look for tourists. 】
[Rule 7: Remember that you are a human being, tourists are also human beings, drivers are human beings, and people in lighthouses are human beings. 】
[Rule 8: The villagers here are not very friendly, but they will still keep a distance from your house. If you see someone walking towards the sea outside the window in the middle of the night, don't say anything, they are not tourists. 】
Xie Chen squinted his eyes and read it from top to bottom. Sure enough, there was a lot hidden in it that refreshed his knowledge.
The lifeguards required in this work code seem a bit too mechanical.
It can be seen that as long as the safety of tourists and themselves can be protected, there is no need to do other things, and there is no need for lifeguards to do it.
"What exactly is inside the lighthouse?"
Xie Chen put down the plastic-wrapped note, turned on the shower switch on the side, and murmured to himself.
"The people in the lighthouse are human beings, but I don't know whether this lighthouse is useful or what kind of people are inside."
Xie Chen splashed the water from the shower head on his head and shook his head.
To put it bluntly, the rules in this note are not necessarily as correct as the previous two.
Like the third rule, I have already verified it in advance.
In addition to these sounds, there is also a humming sound that gradually becomes clearer.
When the third rule is wrong, it is difficult for Xie Chen to believe that the seventh rule is correct.
Xie Chen wiped the water droplets on his face with his palm, his eyes looking a little tired.
"Maybe there's a monster locked inside the lighthouse?"
"..."
"That's not certain."
Xie Chen took a deep breath. It seemed that Sol still had to keep an eye on him. He probably had many things hidden in him that he didn't know yet.
After washing off the sticky layer on his body caused by soaking in sea water, Xie Chen dried himself and put on dry clothes.
Just when he was about to bend down to pack up the old clothes lying next to him, there was a rustling sound outside.
Just like someone passing by and stepping on dead branches and leaves on the ground, the sound was very obvious.
Xiechen immediately became alert as he heard the sound of someone drifting away.
The group of people in the house want to leave, and Sol probably won't agree. So who is still walking around outside now?
Xie Chen leaned on the faucet on the side for help, and then climbed up to the window, staring outside.
Not far away, a somewhat blurry figure disappeared at the end of his field of vision.
Xie Chen jumped down from the window in a hurry. He didn't even have time to pack up his clothes and hurried out of the bathhouse.
Following the scene he saw from the window, Xiechen Sayazi chased after him, and further on he reached the woods.
Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little more doubtful.
Could it be that couple?
But that's not right. I can still tell whether the footsteps are one person or two.
If it was really that couple, where was the other person?
With this doubt in mind, Xie Chen continued to run forward and chase, without slowing down at all.
Although it also leads to the woods, it is different from the path he went to before. This is another road.
Xie Chen walked straight forward, took two or three turns along the path, and finally came to a fork in the road.
"Which way is this going?"
Xie Chen stood in front of the intersection, biting his lower lip and muttered to himself somewhat tangledly.
"Forget it, a dead horse can be treated like a living horse."
Xie Chen shook his head, not wanting to spend too much time here. After choosing one at random, he chased towards the fork on the left.
It took about two minutes. Xie Chen estimated that he had run a long way, and there were some marks on the right hand side of the front.
But the road became narrower and narrower.
The mark looked quite new, probably made not long ago.
Recalling the sound of footsteps just now, the frequency of landing did not seem so urgent, and it is estimated that the speed of walking was not fast.
He ran wildly throughout the whole process without stopping much. If the road was correct, he would have basically caught up.
Judging from this mark, it must have been carved for a long time, and it is unlikely that it was just born.
Xie Chen slapped his thigh and immediately turned around and ran back.
I chose the wrong fork at this time. Even if I chased back now, I don't know how far the target would have traveled.
Xie Chen was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but he still hurriedly ran back.
When he saw the tree branch stepping forward slightly, Xie Chen, who was looking forward, felt his body tilt, and he immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.
There was a close friction between the elbow and the gravel on the dirt road. A lot of sand and rotten leaves squeezed the skin, causing a large scratch immediately.
Before he could react to the pain, he felt a huge pulling sensation on his back heel, as if his entire foot was being torn off.
Xie Chen felt that the scene in front of him was spinning, and then he felt dizzy.
The wound on his elbow began to feel severe pain, and even his ankle felt like a scraping of flesh.
After a few breaths, Xie Chen slowly came to his senses and realized that he had been hung up on the tree. Two circles of hemp rope as thick as two fingers were tightly wrapped around the ankle of his right foot, which was not loose at all. No sense at all.
Xie Chen raised his head with difficulty and checked the distance between himself and the ground.
But he found that even if he straightened his hands, he was still nearly a foot away from the ground. It was undoubtedly a dream to reach the ground and save himself from such a height.
Xie Chen refused to give up hope and turned to look at the tree next to the trap.
Reality gave me another blow.
The tree trunk that serves as the fulcrum is extremely thick, even thicker than an adult's thigh. If you want to break the branches by rippling, you can't even break your ankle joint.
Under all circumstances, he was undoubtedly sentenced to death.
Xie Chen just wanted to shout to attract attention, but then he thought about it and immediately suppressed it.
It would be a good thing if we could lure people here, but this is a forest, and it's unclear whether there are any monsters here.
If another monster is lured out, his current situation will definitely be covered in blood.
Xie Chen didn't want to give up hope. After all, he still had a chance of survival.
Xie Chen lowered his injured hand straight down to ensure that he could maintain his balance while hanging in the air, and then slowly moved his other hand up.
Just such a set of actions took several minutes.
Although the sun is not as intense as it is at noon, it is still a torment if it shines on your body for a long time.
Xiechen's lips were a little dry, and big beads of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground.
As time passed, Xie Chen's hand that stretched upward slowly came to the pocket.
This important item, the pocket watch, had already been put on this outfit before I washed it.
Just as Xie Chen was about to open the opening of his pocket and lifted it up with two fingers, a gust of wind slowly started to blow.
The big tree next to it began to rustle, and the crown of the tree was blown slightly, and the trunk wrapped with hemp rope was no exception.
Xie Chen quickly tried to press the mouth of the bag with his fingers, but this movement involved the injured arm.
His right hand, which was still embedded with a lot of sand and dead leaves, began to twitch and tremble uncontrollably.
Although the body has been strengthened, it is still a human being, and the nervous system is very sensitive to pain.
Originally, everything was going in a good direction. As long as he could get down from the tree, Xie Chen would accept it even after consuming two uses of his pocket watch.
But as the tree trunks and people swayed, this idea became a luxury.
Because of the twitching of his right hand, the fingers of his left hand tilted slightly to the left before pressing the pocket. The moment the pocket watch slipped out of the pocket, all the illusions came to nothing.
With a clang, the pocket watch fell to the ground with a clear and loud sound. This realistic blow was undoubtedly a blow to his head.
Xie Chen let out a heavy breath. Now even a dead horse cannot be treated as a living horse doctor. He has never experienced such heavy pressure from the beginning of the dungeon to now.
I originally thought that I would fall into the hands of Kaitan, but I didn't expect that I would die in the hands of a broken trap today.
Xie Chen slowly closed his eyes, but his body couldn't adapt to the discomfort after hanging for a long time.
The way to die was still so painful. Now Xie Chen just wanted those monsters to appear and then give himself a quick stab to save his mother from suffering here.
I don’t know if God heard what I was thinking, or if my death day has come.
A slight sound of footsteps came quietly.
Although the sound was very subtle, by this time Xie Chen was already devastated, and his thoughts were naturally cleaner than anyone else's, so he took this sound into his ears.
Although he knew someone was approaching him, Xie Chen didn't make any move. After all, struggling now was unnecessary, before the monster came to give him a good time.
The pace changed from slow to fast, and Xie Chen could feel him running wildly behind him.
"It's a pleasure."
Xie Chen thought of such a voice in his heart.
Just when he was expecting the monster to tear him apart, the words he was looking forward to so much exploded in his ears.
"Why are you hanging here?"
"Didn't I ask you to go back by yourself, and you're still staying here behind my back?"
Xie Chen looked confused?
Is it a human?
Are you still talking to yourself?
Xie Chen had 10,000 questions in his heart and immediately opened his eyes, but the figure was standing beside him and did not appear directly in front of him.
Xie Chen just wanted to turn his head to look, but his body was restrained so tightly that it was difficult to even move his ankles.
I saw that figure taking action quickly, and then fell to the ground before I could react.
Xie Chen reacted in advance and put his palms to the ground. Although there were a lot of blood stains from the friction, at least he would not hit his head on the ground.
As expected, there was a scream, and Xie Chen's vision went dark.
After all, he had been hung for too long, and the blood rushed to his head, and he fell again in an instant. His body was a little unable to adapt to such a big change.
This also caused Xie Chen to have no choice but to see the face of the person who saved him immediately.
Before he could speak, the man walked over and grabbed his collar without giving up.
"Hurry back with me, don't stay here."
Xie Chen felt a little dizzy and immediately closed his eyes and stood up. He still felt severe pain when his ankle landed on the ground.
But fortunately, my eyes have regained their proper capabilities.
Xie Chen frowned.
"Why did you come here?"
"Aren't you still looking after those people over there at the house?"
"Did another monster appear?"
The person who saved himself and stood in front of him now was Thor.
Thor also frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xie Chen was unable to turn around at his retort.
"What do you mean I'm talking nonsense?"
"Didn't you just change your clothes and come here? We were all soaked on the coast just now. You can forget this."
Speaking of this, Xie Chen was obviously on guard against the Sol in front of him.
Sol's eyes also hardened.
"You mean you just met someone who looks exactly like me?"
Xie Chen shook off his injured right hand and slowly took two steps back.
"Indeed."
Xie Chen's tone became slightly calmer, and then his voice dropped.
"But now what I want to ask is, among the two of you, who is the real Thor?"
