Chapter 343: Tall, Short, Fat, and Thin

Wen Xiaohong's warning made Gao Yi raise his already full vigilance level again.

Although the decline of his "intuition" has not disappeared, all kinds of early warning abilities have declined at this moment.

But the current situation has made it clear that "the big one is yet to come."

No matter how dull you are, you can't relax at this moment.

On the other hand, it is Xiaohong's [coward] characteristic that gives her a strong "ability to be afraid"...

To put it simply, it means being able to make better use of the emotion of "fear" to judge the strength of the enemy you are about to fight, the danger of the environment, and changes in the situation.

Fear is never a bad thing, and no boxer can ever step into the ring without any emotions.

This "fear of being knocked down" is also an essential part of the road to becoming stronger.

It's a pity that Wen Xiaohong's development of this [coward] characteristic is not complete yet. At this moment, he can only obtain basic perception abilities and the improvement of physical defense.

However, coping with the situation at hand is pretty much the same.

As Sister Li put the phone away, it returned to the previous rectangular shape that belonged to her.

The four players in white robes also began to talk in low voices.

"What now? What are we going to do?"

"Who the hell knows? This woman looks so creepy, so hurry up and leave."

"Speaking of which, how many more sacrifices are needed, can we collect them all?"

"Stop talking! The leader is coming..."

The girl in the group of four was the last to finish, scolding a few people around her.

Her voice sounded quite unfamiliar, but the voices of the other three men always seemed vaguely heard somewhere.

It's a pity that Gao Yi focused most of his attention on deciphering those strange symbols and didn't get too entangled for a while.

And following the woman's words, the so-called "Master Leader" finally made his appearance.

The sound of light footsteps came, steady, regular, and unhurried.

The door to the stairwell was pushed open, and the person who walked out looked very familiar.

In fact, it was less than half an hour since we last met.

This "Master" was the nagging aunt who entered the Nankang Evening News Building with them.

At this moment, she also put on a white robe. The only difference was that she did not wear a hood, revealing her kind face.

The middle-aged woman walked up to the four white-robed players, made the strange gesture again, and closed her eyes slightly:

"May the Lord be with you."

The four players also lowered their heads, crossing their hands, pinching their index fingers and thumbs, and spreading the other fingers outward:

"May the Lord be with you."

It is worth mentioning that among the four, only the woman seemed to make skillful and pious gestures, while the movements of the other three men were neither standard nor quick.

It seems that their belief in "the Lord" is not very sincere...

"Well, the leader..."

The shortest man among the four was the first to speak:

"What exactly are we going to do? Will we be released after we really solve it?"

The "leader" who heard the question just kept his smile without any information:

"Whatever the Lord rewards, no matter how small, he must be rewarded; what the Lord punishes, no matter how great, must be punished."

The four players turned their heads and exchanged glances, obviously not understanding what it meant.

Considering that even Gao Yi can roughly understand this classical Chinese text, it can be judged that the education level of these four people is not very high.

"So... you mean it's okay, right? Release us and let us come here to listen to your work, but it's guaranteed..."

On the other side, the thin man among the four raised his hand in confusion, as if he wanted to get a clear answer.

The largest fat man, the one who carried the bag containing the people upstairs, also hurriedly added:

"Yes, can you please remove this bomb for us first? There are only more than two hours left in the countdown. It's so scary."

Of course, the reply from the leader's aunt was not difficult to guess.

After all, this kind of "read back" situation has happened countless times since that 24-hour convenience store.

"The Lord is wiser than a saint, just as a wise man with clear ears and eyes is better than a deaf man."

"What the hell..."

Well, this time I successfully surpassed the high cultural level.

He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, while Wen Xiaohong on the side added in time:

"It probably means that her 'lord' is wiser than a saint, knows everything, and judges everything."

Looking at Gao Yi's somewhat shocked gaze, Xiaohong shrank her neck and added:

"I studied Chinese language in college..."

Well, at least there's a translator...

Gao Yi hid the fact that his cultural level was quite poor, and nodded solemnly, as if he really understood something from the "leader".

However, he actually realized something.

Not from the mouth of the nagging aunt, but from the voices of the four players.

The voices of the other people were indeed a little blurry, but Gao Yi would definitely remember the fat man's voice.

In fact, he was forced to relive it just a few days ago.

In [Seven Days Back], Gao Yi was pulled into the illusion by "Suspicion".

In the mirror maze, Gao Yi heard the voice of the fat man.

That's right, these four people are the four robbers who appeared when Gao Yi went to trade equipment for the first time after [Heart Strange Fog] ended.

The short man, the fat man, the thin man, and a woman.

It can be confirmed that they are them.

If I remember correctly, the ending of these people should be that they were captured by the "Investigation Bureau".

Gao Yi also cared about them twice through Tan Zhi, and the reply he got was that they had been imprisoned in a special prison.

I didn't expect to meet again in this place today.

Should it be said that this is fate, or is there some force behind it?

Since meeting the [Director], Gao Yi has been a little bit afraid to believe in "fateful coincidence".

And the confirmation of the identities of these people also explained their words.

"It turns out that someone from the Investigation Bureau released them... Could this auntie also be from the Investigation Bureau? Or is there another conspiracy?"

Muttering, Gao Yi turned to Wen Xiaohong on the side with a serious expression;

"So, the danger you feel should not be from this auntie."

Xiaohong on the other side nodded uneasily and looked at the stairwell again.

It seems that there are more guests tonight...
