"Scare away outsiders and stay away from danger?"

Beside the reservoir, Slimani cautiously interjected: "The security in Emerald City is good, and you don't look like people who would cause trouble or have property. Um, sorry, I mean, where is the danger?"

The abandoned cistern fell silent.

Warniak snorted.

"Danger? Too many."

Uncle Hauser sighed: "Everything, everything from normal people, is dangerous to us."

Srimani was confused.

"The gaze," Shilai said suddenly, attracting the attention of many people, "the gaze, words, and everything they can do because of their 'normal' physiques from normal people are all harmful to us."

"More than that, their pity, sympathy, contempt, scorn, rejection, and isolation are too much," Uncle Hauser stopped what he was doing and sighed, "And we, on the ground, in their eyes, are just

Could be half a human."

He compared his height and made a sarcastic expression.

"Ha, it's much better here than up there," Warniak crossed his arms and the big lump on his shoulder trembled. "It is said that some people have dug underground lithium veins and made a fortune..."

Slimani raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you still here?"

"We...someone must give up glory and wealth and stay to take care of everyone." Warniak's voice weakened.

Everyone laughed.

"So, Twenty-Four, have you found your parents?" Dorothy asked.

Thales frowned.

Looking for parents?

Xi Lai was startled, and after a few seconds, her expression darkened.

"No, I'm still looking for them."

"I advise you to give up as soon as possible," Warniak snorted disdainfully, "They can abandon us at birth, which explains a lot of problems."

"I..." Xi Lai hesitated.

"Woo, woo, woo." Bobo expressed an opinion that no one could understand.

"It doesn't matter, people like us," Hauser continued to unpack the old stuff without caring, "sometimes, it's a good thing that you can't find it."

Madam Gadama gave Hauser an elbow and glared at everyone.

When everyone at the reservoir saw this, they quickly dispersed as if nothing had happened, each doing their own work. Even Slimani was trembling and Boboti slipped away.

"About this place, the Ghoul Tunnel, the people here, and the 'parents'," Thales whispered to Hilley, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xi Lai turned around and smiled mysteriously:

"You just need to know that this is a place where Zhan can't be found, and that's enough."

Thales raised his eyebrows:

"Okay, what are you going to do next? Wait here?"

"Of course not, we are here to ask for help."

"Whose help?"

Before he finished speaking, there was quite a commotion in the tunnel.

Thales turned around and looked. Under the firelight, a short, fat man in dark robes carrying a large bag appeared at the corner of the tunnel.

The clothes he wore were simply decorated but made of luxurious materials, making him look out of place with his surroundings.

In an instant, not only the reservoir, but also people in almost every settlement in the tunnel stood up.

"grown ups!"

"Thanks!"

"The setting sun bless you..."

Here, Mrs. Gadama and Dorothy also stood up and urged Warniak:

"The adults are here, hurry up, go and take out our gifts..."

The man carrying the bag walked through various settlements, stopping at each place to distribute something, and people responded to him enthusiastically:

"This is for you, please accept it!"

"this way please!"

"Eat with us!"

Thales looked at the man's figure and couldn't help but frown.

That person... looks familiar?

"Who is that?"

"Ah, no," Heeley replied, "the person we are looking for is here."

Not long after, the short, fat man in a robe came to the cistern. He first accepted the gift from Dorothy and Lady Gadama, a pack of tobacco, with a smile, and then went straight to Hauser's workbench.

"Come on, Hauser, take this week's share."

Uncle Hauser took the bag handed by the man:

"Hey, you make a lot of money?"

"The world is not stable these days. Everyone wants to ask God for blessings, especially the rich." The man muttered.

"By the way, your magic props are very effective and very realistic. Well, maybe too realistic. When I was praying, a lady was convinced that she heard the voice of her deceased daughter and chased me to give her money."

Hauser's hand paused:

"Then what did you say?"

The short, fat man sighed. He skillfully sat down at Hauser's workbench and fished out a hookah from under the stand:

"I told her, yes, that was her deceased daughter, and she was at rest and no longer in pain."

Seeing the other party scooping up the hookah, Thales's mind suddenly flashed and he remembered the other party's identity.

"Chadvi Priest?"

Thales blurted out.

"yes."

The man in the robe didn't have time to light up his cigarette. He turned back and looked at Thales, who was wearing shabby and shabby clothes: "Well, I don't think I've seen you before?"

Thales blinked, not knowing how to answer.

Yes, the man in front of me is the priest secretly smoking in the confessional of Sunset Temple - Chad Wei.

Hilley coughed next to him.

Priest Chadwei looked at Hillai. After a moment, he was shocked:

"you--"

"Yes, I am twenty-four!"

Xi Lai interrupted him loudly and kept winking: "Yes, I haven't been back for a long time, remember?"

Chad Wei was stunned on the spot.

"Xi——Twenty-four, you, why are you here?"

"Yes, I'm here," Hilley beamed, showing his twelve fingers, "right here, just like many years ago, remember?"

Chad Wei smiled, having a headache.

"Oh, by the way, this is," Hilley pulled Thales over with a smile, "well, my... friend."

"Boyfriend." Madam Gadama said quietly from behind, and as expected, Sheila received a sharp glare.

Boy friend?

Her boyfriend?

Chadwei looked confused, but then he remembered something.

The priest looked at Thales carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly his expression changed drastically!

"temple--"

"right!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Thales quickly spoke:

"I'm Wyatt! I'm the man of twenty-four - um, my friend!"

Warniak on the side snorted in displeasure.

Priest Chadwe felt dizzy after hearing this. He took several deep breaths before he calmed down and looked at Shilay pitifully:
