Perhaps because he was too exhausted, Du Yixin fell asleep halfway, and he didn't have time to ask all his questions. This sleep was so deep that I didn't have any dreams, and I didn't wake up until someone shook my shoulder lightly.
When the old brother's face appeared in front of his eyes, he didn't even come back to his senses and yawned, thinking that it was winter vacation: "Let me sleep a little longer."
"I drove all the way, but he slept peacefully." An unfriendly voice came from not far away. Only then did Du Yixin realize his current situation and slowly sat up.
The person who said that sentence had already got out of the car first, and Liu Li followed, but Luo Jing walked not far away and took out a cigarette and started smoking.
She walked over: "He is the brother of the captain."
"Don't you hate him too?"
"I don't hate it."
"Whatever you say." Luo Jing took a deep breath and exhaled smoke rings, "If the captain is exposed because of this incident, I will not spare him."
"Enough." Liuli frowned.
She didn't like that about the other person. It's usually fine, but when it comes to the captain, it becomes extreme and often doesn't take into account the overall situation,
"Because you acted without authorization, the captain is already very angry."
Luo Jing glared at her: "If you didn't inform me, he wouldn't know."
"...You can do it yourself." After so many times, Liuli already knew that this person couldn't understand. Did not continue the conversation and left the place.
On the other side, Du Yixin got off the car and was in a daze. He hadn't expected to be taken here—a café far from the city center. It is so sparsely populated that people may even wonder whether the boss wants to make money by opening the store here.
But now, it was clearly broad daylight, and there was a sign on the door saying "resting". But Du Heng didn't care what was written on the outside, he just pushed the door open and entered.
The decoration inside was different from Du Yixin's imagination. On the right is the bar counter, and on the left is the deck, more like a small bar. But the atmosphere was not fresh at all, and the melodious snoring filled the narrow space, coming from behind the bar.
Du Heng walked to the bar, curled his index finger and tapped the table: "Wake up."
But the playing didn't stop. Du Yixin looked over curiously, and found a red-haired young man sleeping there, with a very strong physique, a bit like a gangster.
"Liu Hong."
Perhaps because he was more sensitive to his own name, the man moaned a few times and slowly opened his eyes. Looking up, the corner of the mouth is still full of halazi, and I don't know what kind of dream it is. Seeing the person coming, he smiled foolishly: "Captain." Turning his gaze to the side, "Is this your brother? The two brothers really look alike."
Du Heng ignored it: "He will live here in the future, help him settle down."
"Ah good… "
"Wait a minute!" Du Yixin interrupted, "I didn't say I wanted to live, where is this?"
"A safe place." Du Heng looked at his younger brother with an uncompromising tone, "I will help you ask for leave from the school. Until the matter is resolved, you will live here temporarily."
"You're going to suspend me? And fix things... what is it?"
However, Du Heng did not answer his brother's question: "It's very free here, you can do whatever you want. But if you want to go out, you must tell me first."
"I didn't mean to ask this!"
Liuli and Luo Jing, who came in the last step, interrupted their conversation at the right time.
"team leader."
"You go to the office and wait for me first." Du Heng turned his head and said to Hongmao, "The empty room is ready, and he will try his best to satisfy whatever he wants."
"elder brother!"
"Xiaoxin." Du Heng seemed a little helpless, "Be obedient."
Listen, obedient
It had been a long time since my elder brother treated him like a child, Du Yixin couldn't help being stunned. But he quickly reacted and protested: "I'm not a child anymore, can't you discuss it with me..." Halfway through speaking, someone held his shoulder.
Turning around, I saw the red-haired man standing up. The man's visual inspection was nearly two meters, and he didn't feel it when he was sitting, but he felt very oppressive when he stood up. Compared with that burly physique, the smile on his face is very kind: "Okay, let me take you to the room first. No one has lived in it, it's very clean."
"Why?"
Then, Du Yixin was semi-forced to leave with a shoulder hoop. The muscular arms rested on the shoulders, as if a little force could crush the bones. He couldn't resist at all, so he was forcefully dragged out of the store.
"..."
Why do you want to find this kind of gorilla as a kanban girl.
Push open the back door of the coffee shop, pass through the back kitchen and the corridor, and connect to a staircase. Climbing up, the field of vision suddenly widened. Compared with the cramped space in the store, this place is much more spacious, with sofas, round tables, and TVs, like a reception room.
"This is where everyone holds meetings." Hongmao introduced.
Although Du Yixin was half-forced to bring him here, he was a little curious when he saw that there was such a secret base in the back of the coffee shop. Seeing that there is a corridor in the reception room, I thought about it: "There..."
Unexpectedly, before taking half a step, he was hugged back: "There is nothing to see there, it is the captain's office. Let's go directly to the third floor, where everyone rests."
Go up to the third floor again. There are communal toilets and bathrooms, followed by several individual small rooms. Du Yixin saw numbers marked on the doors: "Are there many people living here?"
"No." Hong Mao counted with his thumb, "I am alone, Liuli, Luo Jing... there are only 5 permanent people, including you and the captain, there are seven people here."
"Permanent?"
"Well. Because the dungeons appear in different locations, basically every city has this kind of base and resident players. This is also the achievement of the captain over the years!"
"I've heard that my brother led a group of people to escape from Bainiao. But I don't know what he's doing after that." Du Yixin was a little discouraged.
Before he was involved in the dungeon, he only knew that his brother often traveled on business, and even if he asked, he would be fooled. However, given the circumstances at the time, it was really not easy to explain to him.
But why is he still hiding it now? Is he so unreliable
"The captain definitely just doesn't want to involve you. After all, you are his only real brother." Hongmao comforted, "Don't get me wrong, he couldn't get in touch with you in the past few weeks. He is more anxious than anyone else."
Of course Du Yixin understood. He also used this point to lure out his brother, but he didn't expect his teammates to also come and enter the dungeon together.
But from the conversation after that, he probably understood the ins and outs of the accident, and didn't complain about his brother. He just hoped that his brother could also rely on him and not shut him out under the guise of "protection".
Seeing that there was no reply, the red hair misunderstood that he was angry, and hurriedly said: "This accident is entirely due to that bastard Luo Jing acting on his own initiative. I said why he keeps going out these days, and after going out for a day, it turns out to be you That's it. But don't worry, the captain will definitely ask for an explanation for you."
It's not that Du Yixin doesn't understand Luo Jing's approach. Shiratori wanted to use him as a bait, and he didn't want his brother to be exposed. It's not convenient to talk in the real world, so it's a smart way to pull in the copy.
It's just that the other party's original intention was not to communicate at all, but to kill - to eradicate his only uncertain factor.
On the other end, Du Heng was waiting for Luo Jing to explain. He basically understood the cause of the incident, but it was still necessary to ask the person concerned what he thought.
Luo Jing stood in front of the desk with an obedient attitude of admitting his mistake: "I'm sorry."
"I shouldn't have involved you." He had no idea that the captain was nearby at the time, and it was a coincidence that he also pulled into the dungeon together. He was so frightened that he had to shut the captain in a small room. If the number of players is not enough, they mix in by themselves to refill.
"... Do you think this is the problem?" Du Heng's expression showed no emotion.
"I know, you blamed me for acting without authorization and almost killed your brother." Luo Jing sincerely said, "But even if it happens again, I will still choose to do this."
"..."
"Originally, the captain arranged for me to check the situation." At this time, Liuli who was standing aside said, "Don't you believe me?"
"I only trust my own eyes." Luo Jing said firmly, "Isn't the matter very clear? I thought he was only in contact with the staff of Shiratori, but in fact he has a lot to do with that notorious operative. Of course, I would like to believe that he was just deceived, but as far as his brain is concerned, this time you almost exposed your whereabouts, and you may not be in trouble next time."
He said a lot in one breath, and finally said: "So, I agree with your judgment. Let him stay with us and stop wandering around."
Liuli couldn't help but want to help her forehead when she heard this. I don't know if this person is real or fake, and how much the captain values his family. Last time, she accidentally saw a photo of a family of four in the captain's wallet. It was a little old, and it seemed that he carried it with him. The captain above also looked immature, and there was a little boy with a bright smile hanging around his neck, which should have been taken a long time ago.
Speaking ill of his brother in front of the captain, she really didn't know what Luo Jing was thinking.
For some reason, the air conditioner in the room sent a chill down her spine.
"I understand." Du Heng folded his hands and asked a completely irrelevant question, "What level are you now?"
"It was level four. After they cleared the dungeon, it became level three." Luo Jing was annoyed.
Experience points can be obtained by clearing the dungeon, and this experience value is deducted from the person who opened the dungeon. Therefore, for those who open the dungeon, even if they are not psychopathic murderers, in order to prevent relegation, they must minimize the number of people who pass the level.
"Transfer the key to Liuli."
After the words fell, Luo Jing and Liu Li were both stunned. Although Liuli thought that Luo Jing would be punished, in essence, no serious consequences were caused, so she thought that the fine would be a little money or experience points at most, but she didn't expect to take the key away directly.
This means that Luo Jing will not only become an ordinary person, but will also be kicked out of the organization.
"You, you are joking, captain..." Luo Jing showed a stiff smile, "I know I was wrong, but this time it didn't cause any serious consequences. It was your brother who almost exposed your whereabouts..."
Still talking. Liuli sighed inwardly.
"Luo Jing." Du Heng called the young man by his name.
"Yes Yes… "
"I don't want to be tough."
Luo Jing's face turned pale.
The so-called tough method is the consistent practice of "White Bird", which forces or lures the key owner to open the copy, and then kills and seizes the treasure. Or to put it more simply, just pull him into the dungeon and click it cleanly.
Why did things become like this, he was so loyal and wanted to repay the captain for saving his life, why!
Du Yixin...
If, if not for him!
Looking at Luo Jing's gritted teeth expression, Liuli knew that the other party had gotten into the horns again. She stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder. When the person turned around, his tone was indifferent: "Let's start, we have to repeat it many times."
