The Uncanny: The Knowledgeable Returns From Warhammer

Chapter 78 Some Little Secrets
At the same time, in a bustling tavern near the pier in the East District of Tingen City, due to the annihilation of the Razor Gang, the Bloody Hand Party was investigated. As a result, the entire underground street of Tingen City, headed by the East District, is almost in a power vacuum. window period.

Without the harassment of gangsters and rats, in the bar without rules and regulations, the bar owner, who has been depressed for a long time, waved his hand and said:
"Drinks are half price today, and more than three drinks will be free!"

Instantly ignited the passions of the drunkards, and took out crumpled banknotes from their pockets noisily, while whistling to the girl who couldn't help twisting her body in the center of the simple stage where tables and chairs were spliced ​​together, while waving the money in her hands. The banknotes were slapped on the bar counter.

But on the other side, in a dark corner of the bar where the candlelight cannot reach, a man wearing a hood and a long gown with a raised collar that almost obscures his face is still sitting quietly. The front of the table, which looked a little shiny, exuded a mysterious atmosphere that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

It's just that the dark corners that no one pays attention to here are generally regarded as a place for girls rushing around to conduct private transactions, so no one has noticed his existence.

Taking a step back, even if someone catches a glimpse of it by accident, they will only treat it as a ladybug who dare not show their faces in the dim light, mock the other party's wretchedness casually, and stop paying attention.

And with the hard-working performances of the girls taking turns in the center of the stage, the already very warm atmosphere in the bar finally reached its climax. A few guests who still had money left began to hold their sweat-stained pennies, amid bursts of laughter. Find out who you want to help.

There were also some drunkards with empty pockets huddled together, with wretched smiles on their faces, and took the opportunity to stretch out their rough hands.

On the side of the simple stage, Lily, who had just performed a unique skill, raised her hand to slap the unscrupulous salty pig's hand away, and then responded to the other party with a swearing: "Go back to the **** if you don't have money!"

Rolling his eyes, he jumped off the stage and went straight to the corner where he usually used to rest.

It's just that as soon as she walked here, she immediately found that the place used to rest had already been occupied by someone, and there was also a strangely dressed man sitting there.

However, as a veteran who has been wandering around since she was a child, she did not show any signs of stage fright. She carried the small bag she carried with her, swayed her waist, and came to the table with ease and sat down casually.

He took out the low-quality cosmetics in the bag, greeted him familiarly, and began to touch up makeup on his own, preparing for the next performance early.

"Sir, do you need help?"

Perhaps it was Lily's seductive voice that she thought was enough, and the strangely dressed man on the other side of the small round table, who looked like a classical statue, finally nodded slowly.

"Hehe, another guy who pretends to be profound and tries to lower the price!"

Seeing that the other party responded to her, Lily, who seemed to be a bit familiar with this, secretly smiled, but asked in a soft voice that was completely different from it:
"I have projects like Summer Hot Spring, Love Like Tide, Flower Fairy, etc."

"There's also an arctic option if you can find ice."

After proficiently recommending a set of relaxation packages, there seems to be no obvious reaction from the other party.

Lily, who hardly expressed any hope for this, refocused on the small mirror in her hand, and secretly complained that she should not waste time on this kind of person.

But after a while, there was a soft sound of paper grinding the table, which made her raise her head subconsciously, and saw the mysterious man on the opposite side of the round table, pushing two one-soul paper and pens over, and opened her mouth to respond to herself. .

It's just that the follow-up response from the other party was not an impatient salty pig's hand, but a simple question.

"Have you ever been to school?" The strangely dressed man asked briefly in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, after a brief surprise, Lily suddenly laughed from the bottom of her heart, and obvious wrinkles appeared on the corners of her tight eyes that even inferior cosmetics could not hide.

"Hehehe, you men seem to always want to persuade girls to turn around and drag housewives into the water."

With a chuckle, she habitually wanted to put away the money on the table, but unexpectedly found that it was firmly pressed down by the other party's fingers, and she couldn't pull it out at all.

Only then did he slowly put away his smile, and replied with a cold face and a slightly nostalgic tone:

"Not only did I go to school, but I also had excellent grades at the time, but my family had no money. After dropping out of school, I was sold by my parents to an old pervert covered in pus. I was tortured by him for two full years. I thought I would wait for him to die. I was relieved, but I didn't expect to be sold to Tingen by that old bastard before his death."

"But it's gratifying that I only found out that I was pregnant with that bastard bastard in my stomach after I came to Tingen, and it was still a girl, so I plan to let her do this job in the future!"

Speaking of this, Lily suddenly paused, and a long-lost smile reappeared on her face.

"Well, are you satisfied, sir?"

"Perhaps you can be merciful and find a place to eat for the poor mother and daughter?"

In the long silence, the mysterious man finally let go of the banknotes on the table, and said slowly in a hoarse voice:
"I have also been betrayed, but I have been redeemed!"

"Hehe, money is salvation for me!" Lily chuckled disdainfully after putting away the banknotes familiarly.

In this regard, the mysterious man nodded, and said slowly in a tone that seemed to be able to see through their hearts:

"I know you're lying, just like I used to be, under the surface of pretending to be tough, longing for someone to give me a hand, climb into the abyss from now on, and live a normal life."

"You don't have to rush to deny it. I know that once you show your soft heart under your hard exterior here, you will be torn to pieces by the jackals and hounds looking around you."

"I just want to tell you that it is almost impossible to get rid of this slave-like situation with only one person's strength, but a spark can start a prairie fire."

However, despite the man's persuasion, Lily, who turned a deaf ear to this, focused all her attention on the banknotes that reappeared on the table.

It was a banknote of 5 soli denomination, which was nearly one-third of the monthly salary of ordinary workers. It was not every day for her to have such good luck and meet such generous guests.

Staring at the banknote pushed to her eyes by the other party, Lily's voice subconsciously softened amid the ups and downs of emotions.

"You're right, now my heart is on fire..."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand to cover it calmly. The other party was still pressing the back of the banknote, and scratched it a few times through the wide sleeve very provocatively, and then pulled the other party's arm as if to stuff it into her neckline. go.

It's just the same as last time, the opponent's arm seemed to be nailed to the table, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull out the banknotes that were pressed underneath.

At this moment, the mysterious man in weird clothes stretched out his other palm holding the note, put them on the table together, and finally spoke out his purpose.

"Go to the stage and read the above message to the people in the bar. The reward is 5 soli!"

"Just read something?"

"Could it be a prank?"

Complicated thoughts began to fluctuate in Lily's mind, but when she saw that the other party put his hands on the table, revealing the mutilated fingers under the sleeves that were wrapped in bandages, and the hood facing her was also covered in bandages. Behind the twined cheeks and those cold and heartless eyes, there was a sudden shiver.

Stuttering subconsciously, he asked, "What was written on that piece of paper?"

"Go, you will know, everyone will know, and will be angry!" Six Fingers, who was wrapped in bandages, chuckled unabashedly.
