"Is it possible that one or both of them came back and left with a total of three ID cards?"
Zhang You made a guess.
Zhou Ao shook his head: "But it doesn't make sense, because they come from three different dormitories, and they are not familiar with each other. Even if they bring them, they should bring other people."
"In this way, there is only one possibility that is the highest." Tang Xinjue said, "All three of them have come back."
It also means that when Zhou Ao was busy fleeing for his life and returning to the community to deal with the ghosts, some of the lost companions had already resolved the danger in advance and found a way to take away the identity card, and the time difference was even so great that they even lost their shadows. Did not see!
Zhou Ao tried his best to digest this matter in his mind, but in the end it was still difficult to understand:
"Impossible... how did they do it?"
Relying on the blessing of his spiritual powers, and by luck, he happened to meet Tang Xinjue and his party, and took advantage of the special treatment of "VIP tourists", so he fumbled and skipped the "payment" link.
He is very clear that if there is one step missing in the middle, the probability of his survival is not even 100%.
— In other words, the reason why Zhou Ao dared to take away his companion's ID card in one go was to make sure that it would be difficult for everyone except him to come back. Only after getting the customs clearance method and actively looking for it, there may be a glimmer of hope.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if those three people can escape the pursuit of ghosts, how can they get money? What's more, Xiaowan was shattered more thoroughly than the freckles on his face at that time, how could he come back from the dead
Seeing that the little hippo couldn't figure it out, Tang Xinjue shrugged: "If that's the case, then I can only find one person to ask."
…
"Oh, you mean those three people?"
A group of people returned to the neighborhood office. At first Zhou Ao knocked on the door but no one answered. It wasn't until 606 also knocked on the door that the clerk came out reluctantly, picked his teeth and began to recall:
"One is a boy with long hair, one is a girl with a bald head, and the other is a girl with wavy curls. Am I right?"
Zhou Ao nodded like pecking rice: "Yes! The wave head is Xiaowan, and her other characteristics are..."
The clerk interrupted him directly, and cut straight to the point: "The first two people came back together, each paid 1 catty to take away their ID cards, and the latter wave curl was paid for by someone else. Do you have any other questions?"
Someone else paid for it
Zhou Ao was startled, 606 looked at each other, Tang Xinjue asked, "Who paid for it?"
"I can't say that. I only said this because you are VIPs." The body of the clerk Xiao Shanda leaned lightly on the door of the office, pressing a crack on the door frame. She took out a blood-red shred of meat from her teeth, and said confidently:
"Our office has principles and will not disclose tourist information casually."
"I see." Tang Xinjue smiled: "It turned out that other [tourists] helped."
Clerk: "...Did I say that? No!"
Strange, how did this person hear it
"Don't worry about these details." Tang Xinjue continued to ask calmly: "What's the name of that long-haired boy, and is there any injury in his physical condition?"
"Oh, his name is Zhang Penghui. There are a lot of injuries on his body, at least dozens of places. The other girl, Ma Like, is the same. Anyway, she is holding her breath, and she doesn't know how to recover her human form in advance. The little Wan in the back She was in good condition, but she was lucky to be... "
The clerk babbled a lot, and stopped abruptly when he said this, and said vigilantly:
"We are a principled department. We won't say a word that shouldn't be said. Don't ask any more!"
Tang Xinjue nodded: "So the people who helped Xiaowan are VIP tourists just like us."
Clerk: "..."
Her teeth-picking hand slowly stopped at the corner of her mouth: "Did I say it... no???"
She clearly remembered that she didn't say it!
"You said you would not disclose tourist information, but when you asked about the information of those three people, you knew all the answers, which means that only the information of [some tourists] cannot be disclosed."
Tang Xinjue explained calmly.
Combined with the difference in attitude between the other party's speech, it is not difficult to determine the identity of these tourists.
— Very few VIPs with priority and privacy rights.
Guo Guo's eyes widened suddenly: "So in this dungeon, except us, they..." She pointed to herself and then to Zhou Ao, swallowing twice: "There are other candidates??"
Zhang You quickly accepted this possibility, and calmly said:
"The game only said that this is our reward copy, but it didn't say that it only belongs to us."
They should have realized this from the moment they saw Zhou Ao's candidates.
Speaking of this, the clerk didn't even pick his teeth, and hurriedly stuffed his huge body back into the door: "I didn't say anything, you all guessed it yourself, I didn't violate any rules!"
"Clerk! Don't go, Clerk!"
Suddenly there was a shout like thunder in the distance, and everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see a tall but thin woman running over with a child in her arms, it was the bear who smashed the claw machine Mother and child!
Guo Guo's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step back subconsciously. Tang Xinjue grabbed her wrist and said, "It's okay, they didn't come for us."
In the blink of an eye, the woman had already rushed to the front, ignoring Tang Xinjue and the others, forcefully jumped in front of them, grabbed the corner of the clerk's clothes and said, "Our mother is dying, your office is going to make decisions for us!"
The child also hugged the opponent's thigh nimbly, and climbed up like a monkey: "Don't go! Make the decision!"
Tang Xinjue seemed to realize something: "It turns out that your university city needs this style of work if you want to do things. I learned it."
Clerk: "..."
She stomped her feet and threw both the mother and child off, then came out angrily, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"
The mother and son took two steps back in fear, and the mother hurriedly said: "I want to cancel an automatic deduction item. This prodigal child broke the claw machine. I don't know why the money was deducted so much. We deducted all the wages we just paid. Empty!"
The clerk took out a notebook, turned two pages, and shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the system. The claw machine that your son broke contained more than a dozen non-dead outsiders, and you let them go. At 10% of the base price Come to compensate, it just happens to be a year's salary for both of you."
The mother's eyes were straightened, and her voice was dry: "...ten, a dozen live toys? Then if I catch one back, will it be able to offset it?"
Following the words, the boning knife that was stained with black blood in the woman's hand trembled slightly with excitement.
Zhou Ao, who was standing by the knife, began to move back silently.
The clerk still shook his head: "I don't recommend you to waste time. Some of these outsiders have recovered their identities, and the rest are still there. With the size of No. 2 Street, are you the quickest to find them, or are you the quickest to be sucked into mummified corpses by debts? I I advise you to hurry up and go to work."
"How can I earn so much from a part-time job! My poor child, I'm going to lose weight at such a young age..." The woman hugged the child and began to snark.
The child also cried loudly: "Mom, don't be sad, don't miss me!"
The clerk was indifferent, and even took out another carrot and started to chew: "If you cry any more, it will be considered a disturbance, and everyone will enter the first room."
The woman stopped her momentum in an instant, and discussed fawningly: "Can I get a loan first? Don't worry, I will sell my son to a black mine as a child laborer tomorrow to pay back the money."
Child:"… "
"No, it shows that you just beat up a lot of community residents, and your conduct record is very bad, so I can't give you a loan."
The woman was in a hurry, so she could only resort to the last resort: "Then handle the division of household registration for me first, I want to sever the mother-child relationship with this little bastard, and he will bear his own debts..."
As soon as the sound fell into the air, the child ran away with extraordinary agility!
Guo Guo, who happened to be standing in the direction of his escape, dodged immediately, but he didn't want the woman to rush up to arrest him, and the child quickly changed direction and ran straight into Guo Guo's arms—
[help me-]
Guo Guo only had time to howl in the spiritual connection before he was knocked several meters away and smashed against the wall.
"Guoguo!"
"Where is the little brat running!"
A group of figures rushed over at the same time. In the front, the boning knife of the bear child's mother was wrapped in a gust of wind, and 606 could see clearly that although the woman scolded the child, the blade was clearly facing Guo Guo's head!
Zheng Wanqing's face darkened and she moved quickly, her silver arm was directly holding the opponent's blade.
Guo Guo got a mouthful of old blood from being smashed by the child, and he was also angry from the heart, and pulled off the pendant: "You think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"
Hold the pendant in the palm of your hand, and put your hands on the brat's head!
Guo Guo didn't slow down at all, and was ready to hit a tough bone. However, the fist fell, and there was neither pain nor skull—
Only her slowly shrinking pupils, and a pile of powder reflected in them.
At that moment just now, the child who was already extremely thin seemed to have been sucked out of his last trace of vitality, and his body was completely turned into a withered branch. Before the fist was dropped, this "dead branch" was automatically turned into dust.
And when she punched it down, only the powder floated up in the air, covering her hands.
"..."
The bones were not touched, but the ashes touched a lot.
At this moment, several figures also rushed up at the same time, the thin and tall woman braked suddenly, her eyes tearing open: "What are you doing?!!"
Guo Guo opened his mouth, weakly spread out the pendant in his palm, and cast a purification skill:
"I'm... saving him?"
