Void Jigsaw Puzzle
Chapter 120: Escape
The hydrogen thought did not allow the black sky to last for long.
After he and his tribesmen saw the momentary bustle of Wuming City, the marginal benefits of their happiness gradually decreased.
Furthermore, such an operation would be tantamount to announcing to the world that there was a larger world beyond Wuming City, which would inevitably attract the attention of the cosmic rogues.
Even though nothing happened.
Thus, the Nameless City maintained the light for a while after the black sky disappeared, and then it was dusk and night, and they fell into the familiar darkness again.
On the riverside road near the Sanduping area, the Heyao Massage Shop also turned on neon lights and colorful decorative lights, decorating the storefront with liveliness to attract the first wave of customers at night.
Dong Xingwen sat at the reception desk, shaking her head and looking forward to another lucrative night.
Although the situation in the entire Wuming City is getting worse and worse, everyone seems to be more enthusiastic about recreational activities such as massage. It doesn't cost too much, and you can lie down and think about nothing, letting the technician tinker with your body. You can take a nap and feel refreshed when you wake up.
A few days ago, several of Fan Ting's friends came to her specifically to tell her that her store is located at a strategic point where a large river turns from east to south, and has a secret riverbed tunnel that directly connects the Riverbank Road and the Riverside Road. The side of the store facing the Riverside Road is directly facing the vast south, and the south is the base of the Pu Yue Team and the Bud Yue Team. If they want to attack the Jigsaw Team and the Feng Yue Team, the He Yao Store will most likely be the first to bear the brunt.
Dong Xingwen didn't fully hear what they said.
As an ordinary person, she had not joined the Prophet Society and knew nothing about the "Reunification" plan and the game. But judging from the serious expressions on these people's faces, they didn't seem to be joking.
"In broad daylight, someone actually dared to demolish my store and kill my people? Is there any justice? Is there any law?" Dong Xingwen thought to himself.
She only knew that her store had surveillance cameras and a private security force, and that no one had ever dared to cause trouble in her store over the years it had been open.
But she didn't know that since the day Wuming City was born, there has been no so-called "natural law" or "royal law", only a very fragile balance.
The balance has been broken, but it has not yet affected the Heyao store.
Watching the guests coming in one after another, some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones, Dong Xingwen put these thoughts aside, started to stand up, greeted them skillfully, and flirted with the male guests when necessary.
Dong Xingwen had just sent an old customer to the tunnel and was walking back to the reception area when she saw her receptionist running towards her in a panic. She forgot to look at the road for a moment and almost bumped into her.
Dong Xingwen raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing? So careless?!"
"Ah... Sister Dong..." The girl looked up and saw that it was the boss. She stopped and said incoherently: "A man covered in mud came to the front desk and said he was looking for you..."
"Covered in mud?" Dong Xingwen was stunned.
"Yes, and it was a woman. She said she knew you very well and that she had worked in the store before. But we were new here and didn't know her. We were afraid she was a scammer, so I asked Xiaoli to hold her back while I came to find you."
Dong Xingwen pondered this information and had already guessed about 70% of it, so he quickly walked to the front desk.
"If it's not her, then I have to get rid of her quickly to avoid affecting business..."
When we arrived at the reception area, Xiaoli, who was working behind the front desk, was watching a person half-lying on a chair in the middle with vigilance. Seeing Dong Xingwen appear, she immediately jumped up with joy: "Sister Dong, you're here! It's this person. She insisted that she knew you, but she looked so miserable..."
Dong Xingwen took two steps at a time and walked up to the person. He took a closer look and saw that the half-lying person was indeed a woman. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were covered with mud, and her coat was tattered, as if it had been scraped repeatedly and fiercely by a skin scraper.
Only those eyes still flashed with stubbornness, peeking out from the gaps between the hair.
Those were a pair of eyes that Dong Xingwen was familiar with.
She exclaimed, "Xiaoting! It's you! How did you become like this?"
The half-lying woman is her good friend Fan Ting.
Since Dong Xingwen met her, he had never seen her so embarrassed.
Fan Ting struggled to stand up and forced a smile: "Can you... let me take a shower first? And give me a change of clothes? Also, if someone comes looking for me, they have to say they haven't seen me."
Dong Xingwen thought about what the group of people had said a few days ago, and her heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that she is being hunted?"
But she was so smart that she immediately asked the two girls at the front desk to take Fan Ting upstairs, and then she quickly cleaned the reception area as if nothing had happened.
After a few minutes, as expected, there was a commotion at the door.
Three or four burly men in leather jackets rushed in. Before Dong Xingwen could even say "Welcome," they arrogantly demanded, "A woman just entered your store. Hand her over!"
Dong Xingwen snorted and rolled her eyes at them. "There are a lot of women coming into my shop, and they're all customers. Are you here for a massage? I think you're a bit irritable, why don't you try our cupping therapy?"
As she spoke, she pressed the alarm hidden under the seat. The alarm was connected to the security department in the middle, where the store’s full-time security guards were stationed to deal with all kinds of people who came to cause trouble.
If she was a member of the Prophet Society, she would be able to see the beige halos above the heads of the three or four people in front of her.
They tracked Fan Ting all the way here, but they didn't expect that Fan Ting disappeared after entering the Heyao store, and a proprietress who looked not easy to mess with appeared.
"Try to catch her alive. If that's not possible, kill her! But remember, don't do this in front of ordinary people!"
This was the instruction they received.
There seems to be no chance of execution now.
The leader, the crew cut, refused to give up and continued threatening, "I'm telling you! If we find her hiding here, you'll be in big trouble!"
"How could I be in such a bad situation? You broke into my house without any evidence or reason, and even threatened a weak woman like me. Let me tell you, my store is full of surveillance cameras, and our professional security guards are on their way. You guys are so small, you're not even enough for them to play with!"
Dong Xingwen sneered, crossed her arms over her chest, and squinted at the men who were all taller than her.
And the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard in the tunnel.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the man's eyes. He turned his head to look at the people behind him and said, "Let's go! I don't believe you can hide her forever!"
"Okay, you guys can just sleep on the ground across the street and keep watch. But be careful, it's very cold today." Dong Xingwen made a gesture to see the guests off.
