277 Critical
After returning to reality, Li Nuo was still slumped on the sofa in a useless posture, with the TV still on and a noisy variety show playing on the screen.
He stood up and took out an apple. After eating it, he went to the water pipe and took a sip of original tap water. Then he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He got dressed, took the book and walked out of the room.
.
I spent three hours in the "Endless Corridor" today. The things that need to be solved are basically solved, but there are still some trivial things left to do.
It includes organizing some weird things from the world, such as skills, the gecko egg obtained in the ancient tower, and problems with the Blue Fire Dragon.
These are small things that happen over time. Just like practicing "Wild Ball Boxing", they are the kind of things that require time to solve in order to maximize benefits. We can talk about it later.
In fact, what really worries Li Nuo right now is Ronald and the problems that may arise in the world.
Regarding Ronald, Li Nuo still doesn’t know whether it was right or wrong to sign a contract with Mirror Master in order to complete the main plot.
But at least he can clearly know that based on the current situation, the best thing to do in the future is to improve his personal abilities. Only by strengthening himself can he be qualified to challenge the "superiors".
As for whether he will still choose to call Ronald in future scripts, Li Nuo's answer is what to do, pretend that nothing has happened, put himself in the position of a fool and a weakling, correct his mentality, as long as Ronald can help him and
When the team strives for benefits, it doesn't care what the secrets behind it are.
Just like a newcomer who is involved in internal strife in the workplace, no matter how shrewd you are, you are just a pebble outside the eye of the storm. You can only float in the air with the flow of the wind like countless sand and gravel, and all this passivity is
It is based on the premise that there is no support from financial resources and relationships, so Li Nuo needs to wait and build up his own "financial resources" during this period. Before that, he only needs to be a good and honest person.
The stones will be fine.
The other thing was related to the world's problems. The newly received tasks were related to them, and they were rich in rewards and extremely dangerous, but he didn't want to give up because of this.
So when he was in the gangster's hut, Li Nuo chose to kill the gangster boss without hesitation.
The reason is very simple. It was the gang and not the mission that asked him to assassinate Lawrence. The actual purpose of the mission is temporarily unclear, but one thing is obvious. There is a high probability that there is a conflict between the gang and the church in the dark, so "
The uproar of "The Masked Butcher" can be used as a bargaining chip for future contact with the Healing Church or Lawrence.
If it weren't for Ronald, if it weren't for the "Blood of the Ancient God" hidden in Cha Bai's body, Li Nuo would have avoided it as much as possible in the early stage. However, these reasons are in front of him, and he needs to make early preparations to deal with the future.
Things that may happen around you.
Li Nuo sighed unconsciously and looked around the quiet community, looking at the old street lamps that glowed with a warm yellow dim light. Everything seemed like a world away.
It was already 11:45, and the door of Yang Chen's fried chicken restaurant had been closed. A plastic bag was placed in front of the counter with a chicken drumstick inside. There was a note on the bag that said "For the dog."
Or asshole”.
Li Nuo held the chicken leg in his mouth, looked at the note, and wanted to laugh.
He took out the pencil he carried with him and wrote "Fuck you uncle" on the paper. Then he whistled and gnawed on the chicken legs, and walked alone through the deserted street corner under the dim street lights.
.
It was still his night shift tonight. When he came to the convenience store, Sister Hu, who had changed into casual clothes, was still standing behind the checkout counter, and a man with a good appearance, a thin and tall figure was chatting with her.
This person is Li Nuosu, Marjie.
"Why are you here again?" Li Nuo came up to say goodbye.
Marjie picked up a bottle of mineral water in his hand and said, "I just got off work and bought some water." Then he turned his attention to Sister Hu's face and said with a gentle smile: "By the way, I can accompany Miss Wang to ease her waiting for that unexpected moment.
The loneliness that comes with being a responsible employee.”
Sister Tiger's heart suddenly felt ripples, she pushed Marjie shyly, and shouted shyly: "Doctor Ma, don't talk nonsense~"
After all, Sister Tiger's name has the word "tiger" in her name, and her strength is astonishing. She pushed Marjie down on the shelf with one stroke, and Li Nuo could only stand aside with a smile on his face.
Sister Hu helped Marjie up and turned around and said, "Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to have someone like Doctor Ma..." She thought about what words to use to describe him, "Excellent friend."
"Not friends." The two said in unison, which made Sister Hu feel a little embarrassed.
Li Nuo changed into work clothes and when he walked out of the changing room, he saw Sister Hu at the door.
"What's wrong?" If a woman is waiting for a member of the opposite sex at the door of the changing room, something must be wrong.
Sister Hu said softly: "Master Li..."
"Wait a minute!" Li Nuo immediately stopped, "Are you scolding me?"
These days, the word "master" is basically the same as that of "liar".
Sister Hu immediately shook her head, "How could it be? I'm here to thank Master Li."
"Huh?" Li Nuo was surprised, but then he guessed what Sister Hu wanted to say, "Ha..."
"Master Li..." Sister Hu quietly approached and said, "To be honest, you guessed my family affairs yesterday very well. The man in my family is an alcoholic. He scolds me and my children when he drinks too much, and sometimes he even gets violent...
I don’t dare to resist or get a divorce, because I’m afraid that he will do something extreme, but I have to support him, otherwise... I won’t be able to live this life.”
Li Nuo nodded. He had guessed this a long time ago. A middle-aged woman came to work in a convenience store. She even had to work the night shift before he came. It was most likely because her family was unlucky because of life, but it was less likely that her family had enough money to spare.
Experience life.
Sister Hu continued: "I listened to what you said yesterday and thought about it carefully. It is true that sometimes you can't get the life you want if you don't resist or take a step forward. In addition, the master said that I am a contrarian... I just
…”
"What did you do..." Li Nuoxu stared, feeling something bad.
"I tied him up during the day while he was sleeping and poured five kilograms of liquor into his mouth. I told him to drink it!" Sister Hu said, "Don't mention it, he was really scared. Maybe he has never seen me like this."
Li Nuo was shocked, "You're still alive... right?"
"Master is really good at joking~" Sister Hu said with a smile: "After all, he is the father of the child, and we also know the law."
At this time, she took out her cell phone and looked at her watch, "I won't say it any more. Anyway, thanks to Master Li, our guy is still tied up. If he doesn't go back, he will shit his pants."
Li Nuo's facial features instantly stiffened. Watching Sister Tiger leave, he raised his hand and slapped himself, "I'm telling you to have a bad mouth..."
This middle-aged woman is a potential anti-social element... If she keeps playing like this, sooner or later Li Nuo will have to be accused of abetting crime.
"I have to find a way to pull her back next time..."
Marjie looked at the red fingerprints on Li Nuo's face and wondered, "Atrophy of the cerebellum? Slap yourself in the mouth?"
"Why don't you leave?" Li Nuo asked and moved a chair to sit behind the cashier.
"Hmph...is this your attitude towards guests?"
"Complain against me?"
"No quality."
"If you have something to say, please tell me quickly and don't leave any ink."
Marjie coughed slightly and said, "I am indeed here to buy water, but there is one thing I forgot to mention just now. Do you still remember the English I read on the metal plate?"
Li Nuo thought about it for a moment and said, "Loss...promotion..."
"Critical." Marjie said: "Humph... At that time, you only wanted to pronounce it according to the letters. Only I, who have received a higher education, can find out that this is a word."
"Ah...please ask the top students for advice..." Li Nuo asked for advice "humbly".
Marger unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, swallowed it slowly and said: "Critical, translated as, crisis, on the verge of the limit, or critical."
"We previously speculated that the password on the metal plate had been changed, so the direction of the word as the password cannot be meaningless." Li Nuo said: "What do you think?"
Marger said: "Two possibilities, the first is to tell others the danger or importance of the ancient tower or metal plate, which is the translation of "crisis" or "key" in this string of words."
"Exclude it." Li Nuo immediately objected, "It makes no sense and is illogical."
"That's the second possibility. This word has no purpose. It just represents a code name, a code name for others to remember, a code name that belongs to the person who left the message."
"Code name..." Li Nuo hesitated.
"For example, 'title' or 'identity'." Marjie's eyes flashed, "For example, you are... a person with residual blood."
Li Nuo buried his head and said in a deep voice: "critical... on the verge of the limit... critical..."
Marger interrupted his thoughts and said: "If this is a possibility, I don't know why, but I always have an uneasy intuition about this code name."
"It's like moving a piece of cake with a remote-controlled bomb buried inside it."
"Yes." Marger nodded.
Li Nuo curled his lips, pressed his fingers on his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "It doesn't matter. Since the person who changed the password on the metal plate is a player, he must be a player above us. I think the level is probably much higher than ours."
, it shouldn’t be touched, and whether there is a bomb in the cake, you need to eat it to find out, right? You can’t just stare at the cake until you starve to death because of a guess that may not be correct, right?”
Marger said: "I just want to remind you that next time the script starts, you must always pay attention to the players you may encounter."
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded, and from the corner of his eye he saw Ma Ziheng standing at the door of the store.
"Your brother is here."
Marjie turned around with a smile and waved his hand coolly, "See you tomorrow."
Ma Ziheng, on the other hand, had a different attitude. He stared at Li Nuo with an unhappy look.
I've heard of the Electra complex and the Oedipus complex, but I've never heard of men having a brother complex... Li Nuo cursed and opened the cash register, rearranged the change, and when he glanced at the payment record, his face suddenly became solemn.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the empty door.
