Shortly after Paine woke up, several other people lying on the ground also woke up one after another. The first person to wake up was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, then a bearded dwarf, then a crew cut with triangular eyes, and finally a short-haired girl who looked a little cute.
When they saw Pan, who woke up first, they all showed fear, but no one opened their mouths to speak.
"It seems that I am the one with the best quality among this batch."
Paine thought this, but he didn't speak. Although the last magic lamp world was also a multiplayer free mode, the other players died without even meeting him. This was the first time for Paine to see other players in the mission world. Naturally, he would not speak rashly as he was inexperienced.
"I said, we don't have to be so defensive about each other."
The dignified middle-aged man spoke, breaking the awkward situation of no one speaking.
"The presence of five players together at the beginning shows that this mission world is not simple. If everyone is holding each other back in intrigues, they may all die here. I suggest that everyone introduce their abilities."
"I don't think it's necessary." The bearded dwarf said, "Everyone's mission in multiplayer free mode is different. My mission goal does not require help from others."
"Yeah, this isn't a team mode, and I don't want to be stabbed in the back." The triangular-eyed little flathead wasn't interested in the suggestion either.
The cute short-haired girl didn't say a word, but her blue eyes stared at Pan, with an inexplicable smile on her pretty face.
Paine felt uncomfortable looking at her.
"Bang bang bang!" Before Pan could say anything, there was a heavy knock on the door outside.
"The poor guys inside, your time is up! It's time to give the house back to me, Charlotte!"
"Are you all pretending to be dead? You homeless people! I, Uncle Charlotte, kindly lent you my house for a day. Are you going to stay in there now? Open the door!"
The man outside the door slapped the wooden door heavily.
The five people made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened just now, and looked warily in the direction of the door.
With a creak, the banging wooden door opened.
A short, fat man about six meters tall walked in with a cane. He has messy black hair, sideburns hanging down his cheeks, and a beard. A pair of cunning little black eyes were set on his fleshy face, and his skin was sickly pale. The short, fat man poked the masonry floor with his cane.
"Damn refugees, they didn't open the door until now! Are they deaf?"
His sly little eyes scanned the room.
"It is natural to pay back debts. If you stay here with me for a day, you have to help me work for a day." The short and fat man said lightly, "No one can owe debts and not repay them. Do you understand?"
"I made an agreement with Mr. Durant before to bring five people to his place to work for a day." The short and fat man said, "In this way, you can not only pay off my rent, but also get extra wages. How about half a crown a head?"
The players looked at each other, then nodded, and Paine didn't want to be the first to do it.
"That's the best." The short, fat man clapped his hands happily, then turned and walked toward the door, "Don't keep me waiting too long!"
It was just dawning outside, and after walking out of the room, Paine shivered a little as the cool breeze blew. They came to an empty square, surrounded by what seemed to be the only house they were in just now.
"Stop talking." The short, fat Charlotte held her cane with a look of obvious impatience on her eyebrows.
"Okay, let me introduce myself. I am Charlotte Fulforth, your creditor."
"It's not a shame to work for me." Charlotte's sly little black eyes scanned the two of them, "I provide you with a house to escape the deadly low temperature and cold wind, and you provide labor to work for me. This is not mutually beneficial. Is it something? You can also go out and ask, besides me, Charlotte, who else will provide shelter for you refugees? You will definitely not find anyone else in Copenhagen."
"Normally, I wouldn't be too lazy to say so much. But Mr. Durant's place is no better than other places." Charlotte said, "Mr. Durant is a very disciplined person. If you dare to cheat, move a little." With your crooked mind, not only will your own life be in danger, but I, Uncle Charlotte, will also be implicated. If you cause me to lose face, I guarantee you will not be able to live in peace even if you die!"
None of the players spoke.
"We really met a group of mutes, okay, you all come with me." Charlotte greeted the two of them, "This is some distance from Mr. Durant's apartment, but don't lose them, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. miserable."
Charlotte walked forward with strange steps, like a fat duck, but her speed was surprisingly fast. Paine had to trot to keep up. The five of them followed Charlotte out of the empty square, turned into a small alley, and then turned into another small alley... Paine finally understood why the short fat man said, "Don't get lost." Because if they slowed down a little, they would really lose them, and looking at the way Charlotte didn't look back, she probably wouldn't be kind enough to wait for them to catch up.
It was probably dawn, but they didn't see any pedestrians along the way, not even a cat or dog, and the surroundings seemed dead and lifeless. The mist shrouded the place, and Paine felt that countless pairs of invisible eyes were staring at him in the mist, which made his heart beat loudly.
