Volume 20 Chapter 17 Cunning Translation
Under the leadership of this officer, we quickly arrived in front of the six-story office building located in the center of the gathering place that we had seen when we first arrived. This six-story office building is the tallest building in the entire gathering place. Its shape is very special. From the outside, it looks like a Mercedes-Benz logo placed on the ground. In addition to the central cylindrical structure of the entire building, the main part is divided into three long sections extending in three directions.
The original columnar structure located in the center actually contains some public facilities, such as the restaurant, the small clinic and some other service facilities. Moreover, this is also the transportation hub of the entire building, where all the passages and elevators of the entire building basically meet.
The three rectangular areas extending out from this cylindrical structure respectively belong to three companies in three countries. Each of them occupies a separate area. This not only ensures everyone's independence, but also allows them to communicate quickly when needed.
According to the information I read on the plane, this place should be managed in sections under normal circumstances. Companies from different countries could not visit randomly at will. Only the central public area is shared. However, due to the special situation now, all civil rules had to give way to military rules for the time being. Therefore, the British officer took me directly to the area that was supposed to belong to the Chinese company without any hindrance.
Although the rule that people from various countries are not allowed to visit randomly has been abolished because of the ongoing war, this is the original work area of a Chinese company after all, so we met several Chinese people as soon as we entered here.
Amidst the suspicious or surprised expressions of the Chinese people, the officer next to me took me directly to the office area on the third floor. However, what surprised me was that as soon as we walked to the entrance of the corridor, we found a door in the middle of the corridor. There were actually two Chinese soldiers standing outside the door, guarding it. There was originally no Chinese military garrison in this place. Although our country has also sent peacekeeping troops here, they are not stationed here. Apart from the more than 100 special forces who came with us, the only Chinese people we can see here are the special forces who arrived earlier. . But what surprised me was that there were only twenty-one of them in total. Their strength was already stretched thin, but they actually found two people standing guard here. What is so important in this room?
Just when I was doubtful, the Chinese soldiers in front had already seen us, and it wasn't until we got nearby that two soldiers turned their heads and saluted us, and then one of them asked: "About Major Sauer, what's the matter?" Although the other party saluted the officer first, I could feel that the two soldiers did not take the major who brought me here seriously. If the officer was not suitable I highly doubt that these two men would shoot him without hesitation.
The officer who brought us here probably knew that he and the other party were not from the same country's army after all. Even though he had a higher rank in name, in reality it was up to him whether he would listen to the command or not. Not wanting to cause trouble, the officer took a step aside, then moved me to the front and introduced: "This is one of the chief officers of the reinforcements that just arrived. He said he wanted to find someone who knew the local dialect. Translator, so I brought him over. You are all Chinese troops, so you should coordinate on your own. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
After saluting the officer and saying goodbye, it wasn't until the officer turned away that the one of the two soldiers speaking looked at me and saluted first, and then said, "I'm sorry, sir, may I ask for your serial number and rank."
"We are a security force affiliated with Longyuan Group, and my military rank is brigadier general."
Upon hearing that they were from the Longyuan Security Force, the two soldiers immediately stood at attention again and gave a standard military salute, and then said: "Reporting to Brigadier General, we are the 14th Action Team of the 1st Section 6th Group of the 2nd Combat Group of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. .”
Although we are not a regular army, the Longyuan security force cannot simply be understood as security guards. Of course, from a legal and external publicity perspective, we are just security guards hired by Longyuan Group, which is no different from the security guards in large companies or high-end residential complexes. However, that is only a publicity and legal situation. In fact, Longyuan's security forces are divided into several departments. This includes the real security department. The personnel in this department are the real security guards. Even if they usually carry weapons, they are at best electric batons or some non-lethal weapons. However, in addition to these regular security guards, we also have special security guards. People who know the inside story and the military generally call us the Longyuan Security Force. The real purpose of our team is to be responsible for solving some things that cannot be done through formal channels. For example, a foreign laboratory invented some technology that we really want, and then we paid for it but they refused to sell it. After that, we We will send security forces to have in-depth discussions with them. Usually, in the end, the other party will transfer the technical results to us for free, and then they themselves will disappear inexplicably. Of course, we don’t always do such immoral things. Most of the time, our job is to protect Long Yuan’s legitimate interests.
In addition to the work of protecting Longyuan's interests, we security forces also have a job to experiment with the new equipment of the Longyuan Group. Although Longyuan Group seems to be a comprehensive enterprise group, its main profit-making projects come from military industry and medicine. Therefore, Long Yuan will definitely have many more new weapons than the country's regular army, and the update speed will also be much faster. All kinds of unformulated experimental equipment will be given priority to the Longyuan Security Force. After we have completed the experiment and put forward suggestions for improvement and finally confirmed that there are no problems, we will consider simplifying the process to reduce the cost and finalize it to be sold to the regular national army or armed personnel of other countries. Of course, due to simplifying the process and reducing costs, there will definitely be no experimental models in the models sold in the future. Maybe small details will be changed to make it more coordinated, but the hard indicators are definitely not as good as our experimental equipment.
It is precisely because the Longyuan security force often experiments with various new weapons that in the eyes of the regular army we are simply a group of equipment experts. Not to mention the conventional forces, even among the special forces, which are famous for their advanced equipment, their equipment is one or two times behind our security forces. After all, the process of generally developing a country's equipment from planning and research to actually equipping the troops takes about five to ten years, and some even take more than that. Even if the equipment of the special forces is tested for two or three years, it will never reach the hands of soldiers. In contrast, our group of security guards often run around with various theoretical verification weapons. Although some of them may have various problems, in most cases these weapons have two major characteristics. That is, it is ridiculously expensive and powerful.
Thinking of the things the veterans in the team had said about our security forces, these two soldiers almost had little stars flashing in their eyes when they saw our group. Special forces are also human beings, and they also have the hobby of chasing stars, but they may not necessarily chase big stars who sing and dance.
"At rest, soldier, I just want to find a translator. Is he here?"
"Sorry, I don't know anyone here who understands the local dialect, but you can ask."
I nodded and turned back to signal Scott and the others to wait outside. After all, the room was probably not that big inside. If more than twenty of us rushed in together, it would be difficult to even turn around. In the end, I walked to the door of the room with only Ling, Xiaochun, and Yeyue, and then I knocked on the door twice.
"Who is it?" A voice of a middle-aged woman full of impatience came from inside, and before I could speak, I saw the office door being pulled open from the inside, but the person who opened the door was obviously not speaking. That person was a very thin young man in his twenties or seventies. Judging from his appearance, he should be a clerical employee, because he was wearing a neat suit and white shirt, but from the look of his temperament, he was at most a white-collar worker.
Sure enough, as soon as the young man opened the door and before he could say anything, he heard the female voice from inside saying: "I said, Xiao Wang, what's the matter with you? You opened the door without even asking who it was? What if there is someone with evil intentions?" This is not the country, why are you not alert at all?"
The young man who was scolded didn't have much reaction, but I think it was mainly because he was shocked by our appearance. When the man scolded him, he was still shocked by our dressing up, but after being scolded, he woke up, but he did not follow the other person's wishes. Instead, he opened the door and stood aside to let the way. out.
Nodding to him, I walked directly into the room and pulled the helmet off my head and tucked it under my arm.
What was inside the door was not the single-person office I imagined, but a place similar to a conference room. The room is about forty or fifty square meters, with nothing else except a long table in the center and a circle of chairs outside, so it looks quite spacious.
At this time, there were four people in the room besides the young man who opened the door. One of them was a man in his thirties, sitting at the table not far from the door. There was a rather large camera on the table in front of him. At this time, he was holding two small tools, and he didn't know whether he was performing routine maintenance or repairing the camera.
At the other end of the long table, far away from the door, three women gathered. One of them is a pretty little girl with good looks. She looks like she is in her early twenties at most. She is wearing a simple casual outfit and jeans. She is holding a bunch of makeup tools in her hand and is giving it to the person in front of her who has her back to us. woman in fancy dress.
Although the face of the person with her back to us cannot be seen, we can tell from her back that unless she is a killer, she must be a beautiful woman. She was wearing a small women's suit on her upper body. She looked quite smart, but the lower part was blocked by the table and could not be seen. However, she thought it should be the matching tight-fitting tun suit. Although her front cannot be seen, judging from her attire and the parts that can be seen, this person should be very young, about the same as that little girl, maybe slightly older, but still very limited.
In addition to these two young women, there was another woman standing over the table. At first glance, this woman seemed to be in her thirties, with makeup on her face. Although she was not a beautiful woman, it was absolutely no problem to say that she still had charm. However, if you look closely, you will find that although this woman looks only thirty-six at first glance, her actual age is probably upwards of forty-six.
Different from the two next to her, this one is wearing a short one-piece skirt. The front part looks like an ordinary skirt, but the back has a large back design with only a few cloth straps. The skirt below is made of chiffon fabric, which is thin, short, and a bit translucent, giving people a hazy youhuo feeling. Of course, for a woman in her forties to dare to dress like this, she still has to have certain congenital conditions. At least this woman's figure is enough to support the quality of this outfit. If she has a bucket-waisted old mother's figure, she can match such a figure. If you try to trap something, you will really become a monster.
It's a pity that although this woman looks pretty, her mouth really makes people want to sew her up.
"Who are you? Why did you rush in without asking?"
Probably because the makeup had just ended, the woman who had turned her back to us also turned around at this time. Although I had already guessed that this woman was probably a beauty, I was really surprised when I saw her at first sight. Not only is this woman extremely beautiful, but the most important thing is that she has a bookish air about her, which gives people the feeling of a lady. What's strange is that not only does she have the feeling of a lady from a scholarly family, but she also has a... A sense of competence as a strong woman. Although these two temperaments are not completely in conflict, it is indeed strange to appear in the same person at the same time. However, I just paid a little attention to her and didn't look at her any more. Although a beauty is a beauty, she is not so breathtaking as to take one look at her. Besides, are there not many beauties around me? Let’s not talk about my wife. Which one is weaker, Ling or Xiaochun? I am always surrounded by so many beauties, even the evil ghosts in sex are probably numb at the sight, not to mention that I am not a person who loves sex in the first place.
I didn't answer the middle-aged woman's words. I knew that people like her, like mad dogs, couldn't get involved, otherwise the noise would get worse. I glanced around at the people in the room, and then asked: "Which of you can speak the local dialect?" I didn't know what was going on, but after I asked, there was no response in the room, and everyone was still staring. I read. I had no choice but to say again: "I just heard from Major Yosauer that some of you here know the local dialect, so I came here to ask. What? Don't any of you know it?"
After another few seconds of silence, a nice, clear and loud voice suddenly came from across the table. "I know a little."
What surprised me was that the person who spoke turned out to be the woman who had her back to us. At first, I thought it would be one of the two men here, or even the middle-aged woman, but I never expected it to be her. This woman.
In fact, I roughly guessed as soon as I entered the room that this team of people was probably the team of reporters who came with the previous group of special forces, and the woman was obviously the anchor. Judging from her age, the people least likely to understand the local dialect are her and the little girl who put on makeup for her. After all, the locals speak a rare dialect, which not only contains African dialects, but also incorporates parts of Spanish and French, as well as some weird languages of unknown origin, and the scope of use of this term is very narrow, generally Very few people learn this dialect. After all, if you learn English or Japanese, you may not be able to use it anytime soon, but how do you use this indigenous language? How many of the more than one billion people in China can use this minority language?
Because of its narrow scope of use, I don’t believe that anyone will learn this language in advance. Usually, the staff who are sent here use English, French, and Spanish as intermediaries to learn some local daily life. It's just a lingo, normal people won't bother to learn it.
Seeing my surprised look, the woman stood up and walked around the table. Only then did I realize how tall she was. Because we dragons were created as pilots of immigrant ships, we were designed to be only 1.72 meters tall in order to adapt to the relatively narrow environment in the spacecraft. Even if we are raised a little by wearing armor, our height without helmets is only about 1.78 meters, but this woman is actually a little taller than me in flat leather shoes. I estimate that she is 1.7 meters tall with bare feet. eight.
Women are naturally taller than men. This woman, who is 1.78 meters tall, is about 1.80 meters tall in flat shoes. But she seemed to be 1.85 meters tall, much taller than me. Moreover, I found that her body proportions are also perfect. Just like an animated character, her tui is much longer than her body, almost reaching a ratio of two to one. Coupled with her long thigh-high buns, her legs look even more slender.
"Why do you need a translator? I learned some local daily idioms on the plane when I came here. I can handle any conversation that is not too complicated."
I was surprised again when I heard what this woman said. "You speak the dialect you learned on the way here?"
When the woman heard what I said, she knew what I was worried about. She smiled and said directly: "I am a language genius. No matter what language it is, I can remember 50% to 60% of the dialogue just by listening to it once. I can't find someone who understands this language." If someone who knows any language I know practices with me for a day or two, I will be able to use most daily expressions to have normal conversations. In the past two days here, I have found opportunities to talk to locals outside several times. It seems It seems normal communication is no problem.”
We dragons can actually do what this woman does, but the problem is that we are artificial humans! We have electronic chips in our brains. We can record all the words and pronunciations of a certain dialect just by listening to it once. When we speak it later, we only need to adjust the grammar and so on. But this woman can achieve similar effects to us with just the brain of an ordinary person, so we can really only say that she is a genius.
"To be honest, I'm surprised at your learning ability, but geniuses do exist in this world, so your situation is still acceptable. But now I need a translator to help us communicate with the villagers outside. Can you help? "
"Of course." "No!" Two completely different answers came from two people. Of course, that sentence was said by the young female anchor herself, and the one who said no was the middle-aged fu girl, who had already run to us.
"Aunt Hong, I just went out to help them translate. Besides, I also want to interview the local villagers."
"If I say no, I can't." The middle-aged woman acted very forcefully. She pulled the young female anchor and said: "You know there is a war going on outside, and swords have no eyes, let alone bullets? Even if you stay here, I don't feel at ease. How can I still let you go out and take risks? Your mother and I have been playing together since we were young. My good sister, if something happens to you, how do you want me to explain it to your mother?"
"Oh, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore! Besides, it's hard for me to get this opportunity. How can I do an interview if you don't let me go out? Don't worry, I will put on a helmet and a bulletproof vest, not to mention... They are protecting me. And the enemies haven’t come yet. There are observation posts nearby. As soon as I find the enemy, I promise to come back as soon as possible, okay?”
Although the woman had a very bad attitude towards us, she was concerned about her own safety, so I couldn't say anything. I could only wait for them to come up with a result. If it really doesn't work, the worst I can do is let Ling read the memory directly. Although this may burn the other party into an idiot, this is the only way to do it if there is no other way.
They probably also know that if war reporters don't go out, there will be no news to grab. Moreover, there are indeed no enemies outside now, so it is relatively safe. In short, the middle-aged woman was finally convinced. She first said to the girl: "Okay. I can't control you anyway." Seeing that the girl was about to celebrate, she quickly added: "But remember, once the lookout post here calls the police, you You must come back immediately. Also, be more careful outside and find a place to hide as soon as possible if something goes wrong. When moving, it is best to stand in the middle of their crowd. With them blocking you, at least you will be safer."
Although what this aunt said was very reasonable, it was really harsh to say in front of us that we were being used as human shields. But I wasn’t breathing anyway, so I didn’t get angry and just listened. But I didn't expect that the middle-aged woman and the girl turned to me and said, "Listen here. Our An Qi's parents are well-known people in Beijing, and she knows many big people. Especially An Qi." My boyfriend is a big shot, and squeezing a big boss like you to death is just for fun. So you'd better protect An Qi for me. If there is any problem, you must send her back first. Do you understand? "
Of course I understood what this middle-aged woman said, but I didn't answer anything. I don't care about what she says, so I won't argue with her, but it's impossible for me to cooperate and flatter her. So I said nothing and said directly to the female anchor next to me: "Please."
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't you hear me?" Seeing that I ignored her, the middle-aged woman actually shouted at me.
The female anchor next to me probably also knew that I didn’t want to see her as a parent, so in order to prevent us from arguing, she quickly blocked the middle-aged fu girl and said: "Oh, Aunt Hong, forget it, don't worry about it. We'll go back as soon as we go." Then she shouted to the man inside who was tinkering with the camera equipment: "Chang Bin, will you come with me?"
The man on the table moved very quickly. When he heard the call, he immediately lifted the machine, grabbed a piece of clothing on the shelf next to him, and ran out. I guess he was also annoyed by that middle-aged woman, and now he took the opportunity to run away, not wanting to be bombarded by fatigue.
Although the middle-aged woman behind us was very angry, since we walked out first, it was not easy for her to chase us and scold us. But in the end, she still followed us to the gate of the gathering place without worry.
We had an argument in the building before, and after coming out, she noticed that our equipment was quite strange. Since the armor we wear is designed according to the appearance in the game, it looks a bit too gorgeous. Moreover, the shape of the Magic Age-style armor is very different from that of modern weapons. In short, it looks very awkward.
The middle-aged fu girl couldn't help but ask when she was halfway there: "What kind of army are you? Is this just for fun? Are you a performance troupe or an army?"
After hearing this question, the female anchor next to her also turned her head with interest. To be honest, she had wanted to ask for a long time. After all, this thing looked strange no matter how she looked at it.
"I'm sorry, your confidentiality level is not high enough, I can't tell you anything." After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, I choked her completely with one sentence. No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass the military confidentiality regulations? If you don’t believe it, go ask the specific location of the country’s nuclear arsenal? Unless your security level is high enough, anyone who dares to tell you will be killed, and you can't run away.
The middle-aged fu girl who had run into trouble with us stopped talking to us. Instead, she explained various precautions to the female anchor along the way. Soon we arrived at the door and obtained two sets of bulletproof vests and helmets from the doorman. The female anchor and cameraman each wore one set. The female anchor looked at me after she put on her body armor, and then asked: "Don't you need to change it?" She saw me looking at her and asked: "I don't think this thing on your body is made of metal. Can it stop a bullet?"
Although the middle-aged woman next to her wanted to say that it would be best to let them die, she thought about it and held it back. To be honest, she was actually very curious. But I didn't answer their questions. I just put on the helmet and pulled down the mask and said, "You don't have to worry about us. Just take care of yourself." I said to Jingjing again: "Jingjing, you are responsible. Protect her and the cameraman." After that, I said to the female anchor: "If there is a fight later, just hide behind her. She has a shield in her hand, and the protective area is relatively large."
"Yes, yes." The middle-aged woman quickly shouted: "If there is a fight, you should hide behind him. He can help you block bullets."
"Oh, I got it!" The female anchor said a few words impatiently and asked the doorman to open the door a crack. I asked the doorman to inform Zhao Jie that we were going out for a walk. If anything happened, just call us by radio.
After the heavy door closed behind us, the female anchor suddenly shouted: "Phew, we are finally free! This one, I haven't even asked before, what is your name? Since we are going to cooperate next, at least you need to know How should we address each other? Let me introduce myself first. My name is An Min, safe An, agile Min. That is Chang Bin, the photographer. What about you?"
I turned to look at An Min, and then said: "My name is Shen Lin, this is Ling, she is Xiaochun, Jingjing, Lingling, Amynis, Yeyue..."
After listening to my introduction one by one, An Min exclaimed in surprise: "Aren't you all Chinese? And judging from the names, it seems that many of them are women?"
Because everyone except me had never opened their helmet masks, An Min and the others never noticed our gender composition. Although Ling and their armor actually had obvious feminine features, after all, most people were still used to using facial features to distinguish people's gender.
After we finished the introduction, An Min immediately said: "Okay, now that we know the name, we are acquainted. Just now I know that you are annoyed by Aunt Hong. Don't take it to heart. She is such a person, and she is not lenient with her words. People are actually kind-hearted."
Chang Bin, who had been carrying the camera, also said: "This is the truth. Sister Hong is very good to all of us, but her mouth is too strong. Many times I have been thinking, it would be better if she was mute. !”
Because An Min has a super cheerful personality and is extremely talkative, Ling and the other women quickly became familiar with her. I have to say that it is much easier for women to become friends or enemies than it is for men.
Speaking of which, Ling and Xiaochun are both artificial beings. Although they have high intelligence, they have lower experience after all, so many people are not as sophisticated as An Min. She is a reporter after all, and being able to speak well is a basic skill. After getting familiar with us, she decisively started to talk, but it didn't sound like there was any important information to me, so I ignored them.
At this time, An Min was holding the arm of Xiao Chun, who she found to be the most deceitful among the crowd, and said as she walked: "What is your armor made of? It feels cold and smooth when you touch it. Could it be glass?"
Xiao Chun said stupidly: "This is a ceramic material, but it is different from the ceramics we eat at home. This is a special ceramic with a hardness close to diamond, and it is not as easy to oxidize at high temperatures as diamond. This one can withstand high temperatures up to 3,000 Duodu still maintains the hardness without significant decrease.”
"Wow, three thousand degrees, that's awesome. But if the temperature were to be so high, wouldn't you be burned to death inside?"
"Of course not. The ceramic itself has a certain thermal insulation effect, and the armor also has a special design. Although it can't really withstand high temperatures up to 3,000 degrees, it will be fine, but we can survive temperatures within 1,800 degrees for one or two seconds. It lasts for an hour, but it won’t work if it gets hotter. Although the ceramics on the outside are fine, the high-temperature-resistant insulation layer on the inside can’t withstand it.”
"That's pretty good. In a normal fire, even if you walk in the fire scene, it won't be a problem, right?"
"Then the temperature in the fire scene during a normal fire is only 1,500 to 1,500 degrees Celsius, so there is really no threat to us."
An Min pretended to be unintentional and said: "This defense is indeed good, but won't you be tired wearing this? Ceramics are very heavy, not to mention you said there are other things inside?"
"Oh, you can't do this." Xiao Chun said: "We are different from ordinary people. We are very strong. Wearing this is like you ordinary people wearing a single coat. We don't feel anything at all. "Although Xiaochun is a bit naive, she is not stupid after all. Of course she knows how to hide what she shouldn't say.
An Min nodded and said: "But even if you are strong enough, walking a long distance will still make you tired? Isn't human physical ability limited after all?"
"This actually makes it easier to wear." Xiaochun explained under An Min's questioning gaze: "This suit looks like a performance suit, but it is actually a power armor with a power device inside. Even if we don't contribute, It can also take us to move. If we are injured and unconscious, as long as we set the automatic return home, it can even take us back to the base."
"Wow, is it so awesome?" An Min was having fun there like a child, Xiao Chun was also having fun, but Ling just shook his head. Compared to Xiao Chun, Ling Ke is much more slippery. She had long noticed that An Min was deliberately telling a story, but just like me, she didn't think there was any important information, so she didn't care.
Along the way, Xiaochun was tricked into using many things by An Min, a girl who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. Of course, there was nothing that really needed to be kept secret, otherwise we would have immediately used the wireless network to notify her that she couldn't tell her.
After leaving the gathering place and walking a short distance forward, we arrived at an area where locals live. This place is only seven or eight hundred meters away from the gathering place. It seems that a large-scale market has been formed here. Although there are only a few hundred foreigners in the gathering area and their spending power is limited, there is a relatively small peacekeeping force stationed here, and the security is much better than other places. Coupled with the purchasing power of foreign consumer groups, a market was quickly formed, so locals also came here to buy things. As time went by, the scale naturally grew. And if these foreigners don't evacuate, the scale here will further expand.
Originally, there were many people active in the village, but as soon as they saw us approaching, many old, weak, children and old people hid in their homes. Although their house made of wood and leaves may not be able to withstand the kicks of normal soldiers, it is a home at least, and at least it can give people some psychological comfort. However, although these fugitive girls hid, the villagers did not hide completely. Instead, some people moved towards us while carrying their things.
"..." "..."
When we both approached, the person at the front immediately took out a lot of wooden or bone crafts such as necklaces and bracelets and started shouting something to us. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, the awareness was obvious. They are selling things to us.
I took a look at those handicrafts. To be honest, apart from a little local style, the level of craftsmanship and artistic connotation are really unflattering. Many wood carvings only have a few strokes, and they look like children's abstract paintings carved on the wood. It’s okay to take a few strings of this thing back as a souvenir when traveling, of course, provided it’s not too expensive.
Seeing the villagers surrounding us who were gradually surrounding us, I directly pulled An Min over to help translate. That's what I brought her here for. If she was tricked all the way, it's time for her to play a role. "Tell them for me that I don't want to buy anything, but I have questions to ask them, and I can pay for them." Before at the base, I had asked Amynis to go to the person in charge here to collect some US dollars, RMB and The euro, these three currencies are all hard currencies here, and they are very popular because their purchasing power is guaranteed.
Zhao Jie also knew that being surrounded like this was not a problem, so she quickly translated my words. However, after she finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and all the locals stood there stupidly looking at us in a daze.
"Holy shit, what's going on?" Ro! .
