Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 352
Unexamined, like a dream that has gone through countless years.

Numerous pictures are chaotically interlaced, and endless light and shadow overlap.

Until there was a loud horse neighing, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a not-so-big bar counter. The bar counter was dirty, with black burnt marks of cigarette butts, and the wax oil on the surface of the bar counter was almost worn out, revealing that the paint was almost wiped off by the drinkers. log table body.

There are no drinkers on the booths next to the bar.

Outside the bar, in the not-so-big hall, there were diners in twos and threes sitting around scattered small round tables.

These diners couldn't tell their identities. They wore tattered clothes that they didn't know where they got, and they ate bread with slices of bacon that was almost dried out. Ale with a lot of impurities.

'What did I see...'

Chen Yan was a little dazed. From his sight, he saw that there was dust flying outside the gate not far away, like a few fast horses flashed past the gate in the dim yellow sunset light at dusk. The dust that rose up almost obscured all views outside the door.

'here is? '

Chen Yan couldn't figure out where it was at all, and only had one simple thought in his heart:

'It must be because the spirit lost control!I saw it go out of control and I came here...'

Chen Yan couldn't control the movement of his vision, he only saw "himself" wiping a glass with a broken corner——

"My" hands tremble a little, and such trembling often represents restrained fear.

Until a voice appeared at the door, and then from far to near:

"Razz! Wine!"

Chen Yan felt that "myself" looked up, and a middle-aged man appeared in his field of vision.

The guy was about 30 years old, wearing a round hat with holes in it, and had two big beards that almost reached the edge of his cheeks. His clothes were tattered and dirty. At first glance, he thought he had just come from the street and was the dirtiest The steel inside the sheepfold crawled out.

He felt that this man seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He looks like... a cowboy!
When the cowboy came to the bar, Chen Yan saw "himself" turn on the steel "faucet" not far from him, and a stream of ale with a faint smell of cow dung poured out, entering the biceps of a more normal man. Also in a stout glass.

Then, Chen Yan saw "myself" push the glass full of beer in front of that person.

The man sat carelessly by the bar, and Chen Yan heard "myself" speak.

"Master Justus, those people..."

The cowboy surnamed Justus stretched out his hand and made a "stop" motion, his voice lower than that of a mosquito:
"I know, Raz, they are deserters from the front line, first climbed out of the mass grave on the border of Horest State, then swam across the smoky lake full of floating corpses, and did shameful things in the wasteland Deeds, and then came our Yanan."

When Raz heard these frightening things, he immediately showed the panic that normal people face when facing a military disaster:

"Master Justus, my boss is still lying in the hospital, and I will take care of the hotel alone tonight..."

The cowboy looked at Raz as if he was about to lose control of his emotions, so he snapped his fingers lightly and said:
"Hey! Raz! Look here! Trust me! I, Robert Justus, on my honor, I'm going to throw those offal back into the smokey lake!"

His voice was still very small, under the cover of the sounds of passing vehicles and sycophants on the road outside the bar, it was almost impossible to reach the range of the bar.

"Listen to me, Raz, our police station received news this morning that the Red Corps, the main expeditionary force of the Anthem, has arrived at Xiliu Town on the edge of the northern border, and is about to fight to the death with the Duke Tulip who has invaded the emperor's land!

When they break into Yanan, we will be saved!

The most powerful Duke Tulip among the rebels in the northern border was defeated, and the other small lords attached to him will not last long, and the war will end soon, and our good days are coming! "

The two whispered at the same time:
"Praise the Holy Light!"

The prostitutes sitting in the bar gave them a disgusted look, and then cursed in the country dialect of the empire, unable to understand what swear words were being said.

Raz was brought back to reality by their vicious words and even worse eyes, and trembled again: "I'm afraid of them...I'm a girl after all..."

Robert Justus looked at Raz, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Raz, you are so ugly, even if they go to the farmer's sheep pen to breed sheep, they won't take a fancy to you..."

Raz finally felt less frightened when he heard these words: "I hope so..."

Robert Justus was silent for a moment, and said: "Well, Laz, it's very late today, they can't move on on such a night, they must be staying at the hotel...you go and eavesdrop on what they said What, then record it, and when I come back tomorrow, you can show me the record."

Raz's panic is brought to the extreme:
"This!"

Robert Justes looked into her eyes and said in a voice that would sound calming:
"This is very important, Raz, they are deserters from the border of Horest State, and Yanan is the closest place in Wardfak State to Horest State, we can get news from the front line from them. "

"Once there is a possibility of a military disaster, we can't wait for the red army of the chant group."

Raz looked at the heaviness in Robert Justus's eyes, and realized what he meant:
Once a large number of deserters escaped from the Horest State border to the Smoky Lake and entered Yanan, it would cause a disaster.

Raz has been managing hotels for the Moon family these years, and has even seen conflicts between deserters and locals.

Every time that happens, someone has to die.

Raz doesn't like to see people die, not because she is kind-hearted, but because she is very cowardly, like most low-level civilians, she is afraid of fighting, death, corpses and blood.

In fear and hesitation, she agreed to Robert Justice's request.

Robert Justus is a member of the police station in the town and a frequent visitor to the hotel. Although he doesn't stay at the hotel, the wine he drinks has already made the hotel earn more money than the housing.

Raz couldn't refuse his request, and the hotel owner would be very unhappy, and even cause her to lose her job.

She has to keep this job, because once she loses her job, she will be married to the stupid son of the neighbor who is not smart and composts with donkey manure all day long, and then she will give birth to a boy who looks like that fool son, guarding two idiots to finish his boring life.

Compared to eavesdropping on the conversations of the deserters, even more than the deserted soldiers... Raz was more afraid of living that kind of life.

That's why she promised Robert Justus.

Summer evenings always came later, and as the sun went down, Raz received requests from deserters to stay at the hotel.

They spent a lot of money, and the "emperor's head" was five at a time. The hotel was a small business, so Raz seldom touched this real imperial currency.

It just feels cold and hard to the touch. Although it is already full of dirt and even stained with blood, it doesn't make people feel dirty.

Raz allocated them a room on the second floor of the bar with trepidation. She felt that their eyes had lingered on her, but when her face appeared in front of them, the feeling that those eyes brought to her disappeared again.

Raz is very grateful for this.

After discussing with the chef aunt in the kitchen, she hid a sharp fruit knife behind her back, and at night, she quietly went up to the second floor of the bar.
