This small bar in Paisiying has a peak customer flow near midnight. People wearing various work uniforms entered with tired faces and didn't say much. The waiters skillfully served everyone their regular drinks, as if this had happened countless times.
Chester, that was the guy's name, got busy after extending an invitation to James, King, as he called himself, to have some fun. But he didn't forget the man sitting next to the barrel, and every once in a while he would make sure that the guy drinking free wine was still sitting there.
James has no intention of leaving, he needs to know what the fun will be after.
The person who replaced Chester arrived, and it looked like he had just woken up. He confusedly took the key handed over by Chester and didn't say hello to the people in the bar. After drinking a glass of beer and eggs, he leaned behind the bar. Someone waved and he went over to add drinks. It seemed that he was not interested in these things. It’s also very familiar to the same old customers.
"Let's go, Kim." There was a hint of excitement in the boy's eyes. Chester pushed open the barrier of the bar and tentatively pulled James' shoulder.
James still used a cold look to warn the other party not to touch him. But James stood up anyway, with a pile of broken nut shells in front of him. The person who invited him has got off work, and he has no reason to stay here anymore.
The guy on shift glanced at James, who obviously hadn't paid, and complained, "Chester, be careful lately. The boss is getting more and more dissatisfied with you."
"It's okay." Chester smiled nonchalantly at his colleague without any explanation. He led James out of the bar.
It was a clear night, and the oval moon in the center of the night sky unconsciously reminded James that Benjamin's transformation period was coming soon. James frowned and shook his head, shaking off this sudden thought and concentrating.
"Kim, do you have somewhere to go at night?" Chester looked back under the dim and flickering street lights to look at James behind him.
James didn't answer. "You said you were having fun."
Chester smiled, "Yeah." He stopped asking and waved, "Come this way, follow me. Let's find 'my' fun first, and then find 'yours'."
James didn't express any opinion on such a vague statement, and followed the other party quietly, his observing eyes searching for Seth's figure. But if only he could discover the evil that could be hidden. There is a ghost.
The direction of travel for Chester was south, toward the Hermann factory. He seemed to feel the need to explain what his fun meant. He smiled in the night and whispered beside James, "I don't know how long you have been in Barton." Indeed, James' answer It was too vague. "There is Hermann's automobile factory in front of you. Have you heard of it?"
James said nothing.
Chester didn't care either. "I don't know if the 'Hermann' brand is famous outside Barton, but in Barton, eight of the ten cars you see are Hermann's. We have to support local businesses, right? hehe."
James glanced at Chester, this guy's tone was obviously sarcastic.
"Hey, Kim." Chester seemed to have gotten used to James's less talkative character, "Do you know why Pai Siying's name is Pai Siying?"
He answered it himself. "Because of the river." Chester pointed to the west, but it was blocked by the buildings and the night and could not see anything. "In the past, the West End of Barton was occupied by rich people, and the relationship with Newton was not good. Then people To come here, they had to enter Barton from the Paisying River, which means 'passing by' here. Their destination was naturally the city center, which was Becky at that time."
The two walked on the increasingly dark road, and Chester pulled James and started to take a detour. Pai Siying's house began to be left behind, the surrounding roads became less and less obvious, and clumps of grass began to appear under his feet. The flickering streetlights far behind him could no longer illuminate the two of them. James looked around in the moonlight. This was towards the west of the Hermann factory. The searchlights that kept scanning in front of him became increasingly clear.
"You said you were having fun." James said with a frown.
"Of course." Chester smiled, continued to move forward, and quickened his pace, "I just want to tell you that we are all outsiders." He looked at the facility in front of him that was completely shrouded in darkness, and lowered his voice again. "And we're worse than you, we were tricked into coming here and then stuck in this place just 'passing through'!"
James frowned and followed.
Not long after, the two stood outside a cyan wall, but in the night, the wall looked darker and gloomier. Chester leaned against the wall and moved forward slowly, occasionally stopping, waiting for the patrol searchlight above the factory to sweep half a meter in front of him. He was hiding and didn't want anyone to find him.
This was definitely not a sign of good things. James had a sullen face, but there was uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
Who knows! After being chased by Seth for a long time, on the first day of the mission, he set off in the right direction.
"Come here!" Chester's voice was so low that it was just a breath. He quickly followed the wall and bypassed the path of the searchlight, and stood behind a raised iron box.
Chester sat down in front of the iron box, pulled James over who seemed to be confused, and put a finger in front of his mouth, "Shh! We don't want to be discovered!"
Thick searchlights shone over both sides of the iron box where the two sat, and James could see the weeds beside him trembling slightly. But this process was short-lived. The light moved and soon turned away according to a fixed route, and darkness returned to the surroundings of the two people again.
"Do you know what this is?" Chester turned his head and looked at the iron box behind him. His men had already begun to dig something into the pocket of his pants.
James turned his head and looked at the white lightning mark printed on the iron box. This was obviously a high-voltage electrical box. He did not answer and looked at Chester again. This guy had already taken out a small bag and pointed it towards James. Shi smiled and opened it, "Jin. Don't judge me, I'm a locksmith."
Chester quickly stood up and walked around the front of the iron box, "Kim, look at the searchlight!"
James was stunned and quickly stared at Zheng to complete a cycle. The thick light began to turn this way again, "Six seconds."
"You are very good at this!" On the other side of the electrical box, Chester made a small clicking sound, and he did not forget to 'praise' James.
Click.
Chester edged close to the edge of the light beam and walked around to the blocked side.
"Is it on?" James asked, looking at the beam of light sweeping past him. Although his face was still gloomy, he was "uncontrollably excited."
Chester smiled awkwardly and held up two obviously broken pieces of iron, "I'm still a newbie. I have to do it a few more times."
"Give it to me." James took Chester's unlocking bag and waited for the light beam that had reached the critical point and was about to turn back again.
"Kim?" Chester's eyes widened, "Can you pick a lock?"
James frowned and answered something irrelevant, "I work in the east."
Gang members in the Southeast. Chester seemed to understand something, carefully pinched James' strong arm and muttered. "No wonder he's so strong."
As soon as the lights turned away, James stood up. He quickly walked around the iron box, and a tiny click sounded. Chester stared at the fading lights. He didn't have as strong a judgment as James, "Not yet, not yet. It's here, it's back, it's back!"
"It's open!" James stood on the other side. "What to do!"
"So fast?!" Chester seemed a little surprised, "Pull away...come back!"
James' body pressed against the iron box, and he spun around quickly, and the beam of light swept across.
"You are amazing!" Chester looked at James who turned back, full of admiration. "Why were you beaten so badly?" He seemed to be curious.
James frowned, glanced at this guy, and said flatly, "I owe money."
"Those people from the east?" Chester blinked, "I thought they were just a bunch of gangsters."
James glanced at this guy again and did not continue the topic, "What are you going to do next?"
Chester smiled and raised his eyebrows, "You'll know right away."
The thick beam of light swept across again. Chester quickly stood up and walked around to the front. James could hear him opening the iron boxes and breaking something, and then the dark things in his field of vision seemed to darken again. Some.
The light beam that James patrolled was still there. James turned his head and looked in the direction of Pai Siying. It was pitch black.
Chester returned to James again, waiting for the light beam to sweep across again, and pulled James up with a smile, "Going! Get ready! West!"
When the light beam swept across again, the two started running! Running to the more desolate area to the west, the weeds under my feet were trampled and pushed. The beam of searchlight chased behind the two of them, getting closer and closer, but in the end they failed to catch up, and the two of them disappeared into the woods on the border of Barton.
Chester was breathing heavily, but he had no intention of resting. He pulled James against the wrinkled tree trunk and pointed in the direction of Paising, "Look, look over there, there is, someone, going..." Because Panting, Chester spoke intermittently, "Go, go to the factory."
James looked in the direction he was pointing, Pais Yingzhong's sarcastic flashlight flashed, and the figure began to walk this way.
Chester pulled James and walked northward in the woods, seemingly to meet up with those who were walking this way from Paising.
"Jin." He said while adjusting his breathing, "Pai Siying was first expected by Barton and the people in the city government." James followed and listened quietly, "They didn't want to let There were outsiders passing through in the West District, so they created a place like this to attract outsiders from the West. But many of those people who just came from the river and Newton stayed in Paising. Do you know why? "
James didn't answer.
"Because of this ghost factory!" There was sudden anger in Chester's tone. "Herman promised a lot of things! He said this would be the future of Becky! Going to work in his factory would be better than going to Becky. Much better luck!”
"He lied to us, our fathers and ancestors!" Chester clenched his fist, "He lied to us here, and then look at Pai Siying now!"
