Chapter two hundred and ninety-two that adult
"When you open your eyes, you will find yourself in a completely unfamiliar place."
"What you think of at this time is a strange ceiling and a strange floor."
"You really want to recall what happened, but your head hurts so hard that you can't remember at all."
"Next, you will recall that in a building ruin last night, you tried to test the hardness of steel with your head."
"Unfortunately you lost, but fortunately you were rescued by a kind-hearted bar owner."
"Next, you plan to do your best to repay this kind of kindness, stay here as a cow and become a member of the bar..."
The strange man opened his eyes, as if he was still echoing in the dizziness of the impact, unable to wake up for a long time. But when he turned around, he found a suspicious person wearing a very familiar stone mask, instilling a brainwashing whisper like a demon in his ear...
The stranger was so scared that he staggered and rolled on the ground for half a circle before leaning against the wall. When he touched his head, his palm immediately stained with his own blood, so he pointed at me in anger and shouted.
"Don't think I'll be fooled if I say this! It's obviously you who hit me! It's you!"
"Did you fail..."
I took off my mask in disappointment and showed an innocent smile, "Don't get me wrong, it was definitely not me who attacked you yesterday!"
"...really?" The stranger looked at me suspiciously.
Of course it's not me, it was me who attacked you yesterday...
Yesterday's incident was awkward. I could never have guessed that such a stranger would appear in the ruins of the valley at the same time, and tiptoed to me, wearing this stone mask with exaggerated and distorted facial features on my head.
In this case, I picked up the 86 and fought back, which is very reasonable, right?
"Speak it! You said it all! You are the one who attacked me!"
The stranger roared in anger.
Did you accidentally speak out? You really can easily talk to yourself after staying alone for a long time.
"You can't blame me for this matter. You appeared so suspiciously yesterday and looked like you were very owed..."
The stranger was choked and immediately retorted: "Silent Valley is the only way for me to go through business. I live here every time. In the middle of the night, I heard strange noises in the ruins, so I went to see the situation. How could I know that someone would attack me!"
The strange sound he said should be my violent attack on the wall of the secret room. I heard the sound coming to check it out, but I was stunned?
"That's also the fault of you walking quietly. A gentleman always keeps his work open and honest. How can he be sneaky?" I immediately pointed out his mistake. No matter what, he can't lose in his momentum!
The stranger rolled his eyes: "The sound of your walking is silent! I didn't hear the sound or see any fire, so I walked in to find out the truth!"
Oh, I forgot this. There is no fire because I can see clearly that the night is not covered with torches, and my footsteps are due to the upgrade of the colonizer system. I walk without any traces and make no sounds. Even if I walk on the snow and sand, there are only a little light traces, and there is indeed no sound...
"Hahaha, there's no big problem, don't care so much! I knocked you out, but you also scared me. Even if we're even, okay?" I began to use my superb social skills to resolve conflicts.
"...What's the difference?" The stranger didn't seem to want to care. After his emotions gradually stabilized, he tried to stand up and walk outside the door, watching the bright sunshine in the sky.
"It's already noon! How long have I been in a coma?"
The stranger said in shock, and suddenly discovered something even more shocking.
"Uh-huh?!!!"
He turned around, grew up and became demented, shouting and screaming, "When will there be such a building in the Riegomi Desert!!!"
…………
"So you are a businessman in a nearby town?"
I took out a plate of dried dates from the room, put a piece of smoked salmon on it, pushed it to the stranger, and entertained my first guest in the desert tavern.
This stranger, who was about forty, called himself Burnett, was a resident of a nearby settlement called Shisongzhuang. He is currently in charge of the business of this wild highway.
But the information I saw was very strange...
"People Name: Martini Burnett
Faction: Teshienya Foreign Alliance, Shisongzhuang
Male, physiological age 41 years and 22 days
Childhood: a wanderer in the lower world
Adult: Postal Service
Features: Sit-sitting, agile, sloppy”
This is... character panel?
The stranger was still chattering about his own experience and condemning me, and the colonists system had completely disclosed his details to me like checking household registration.
"...Are you listening? I've been walking on this road for so long and I've never seen this house... Well, this fish tastes good... Where did you come from?"
My face mysteriously pointed to the sky and kept silent.
"In the sky? You are from space too?" Burnett raised his eyebrows and expressed surprise. "Is that a space exile criminal? Or is it a contingent of which force?"
Before I could speak, Burnett touched his precarious hairline and tried to comb out the bangs. "That's so strong... there should be a lot of artificial mechanical parts on his body, right? Are you an agent of Star Company?"
Seeing that I was kept mysterious and still not talking, Burnett smiled self-deprecatingly, "You need to keep confidential? Don't worry, I am an ordinary resident of the planet. I'm afraid I will never have the chance to enter space in my life, and I will never threaten your safety. You keep my secrets to me purely unnecessary."
I like such a guest, which perfectly meets my expectations. From the time he sat down to now, I didn't even say a word. This middle-aged man has revealed countless key information to me, perfectly fulfilling the function of introducing the story background NPC!
I can guess that the reason why he is so talkative is that he has a lot to do with his long-term loneliness and business travel. If he stays alone for a long time, once he meets a similar person, he will definitely not be able to help but say a few more words.
I also took this opportunity to know that this is really a wild planet with many interstellar forces, and there are many indigenous people and residents living in it, belonging to a lonely corner abandoned by civilization.
But I had made up my mind to keep my sense of mystery and try to get his words as much as possible, so I didn't answer him directly, but just pointed to the sky mysteriously: "Sorry, my identity is not that I don't want to say. But that lord will never allow me to leak the news."
"That adult? Are you talking about your superior? It's so far away that even the monitoring equipment can't know." Burnett said in disbelief.
I shook my head: "That adult knows everything. The adult has told me that when you were young, you were a wanderer in the city and later became a postman in the desert..."
"I talked to my sleep last night? How do you know?"
"I also know that you are alone and don't like taking a bath..."
Burnett instantly squirted out of his mouth halfway and shouted, "You...how did you know! You monitor me!"
"...I'm monitoring you? Will you rather be worthy?" I looked at him disdainfully.
Burnett thought about it and thought it was unlikely.
"...Okay, it's really unlikely. The adult you mentioned is really that powerful? What's his name?"
I stood behind the bar casually, playing with the stone mask on my hand, and whispered: "Since you want to know, it's okay for me to tell you secretly..."
"The name of that adult is..."
“Shafulin…”
