"Normally speaking, Aunt Martha will not actively interfere with our soliciting customers, let alone steal our customers."
"Didn't you just say that you saw her going out and left quickly because she was coming to steal the guests?" Li Yi asked, pretending to be confused.
"Of course not. Aunt Martha is a kind-hearted person, how could she do such a thing?" Mr. Toolman immediately denied it, and then hesitated for a while and said: Of course, if someone breaks the rules, she
They will indeed come to your door.
In other words, she will only look for people who break the rules, right? Li Yi thought, and then showed a kind smile: Then, Mr. Hank, please continue talking. Although I am a very curious person, but Zhen
I still have to abide by the master's rules. This is basic etiquette.
"You are such a graceful man." Hank, the tool man, praised him, and the two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at Hank's residence.
"Then those are all the precautions. I hope Mr. Li can strictly abide by them. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Hank said with a happy face.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to ask yet, but what about the cost of accommodation? I don't know..." Li Yi suddenly thought of a question.
As a result, the other party only gave him a mysterious smile, turned around and left without speaking.
Li Yi looked at the other party's leaving figure, recalled that meaningful smile, and quickly sorted out the information given by the plot introduction tool in his mind. Two of them, plus his own speculation, were worth noting.
1. According to the fact that eight of Hank's ten words are related to Aunt Martha, he can conclude that the so-called founder of the tourism business and the actual manager of the nameless town should be her. That's right.
All the rules, big and small, must have been formulated by this manager.
2. In addition to some inconspicuous matters, it is worth noting the opening hours of Sally House. On this issue, Li Yi and Hank repeatedly confirmed it and learned that the specific time is determined by the number of tourists.
. Because most of the time tourists come at an almost fixed time, so the specific time will not be determined until tomorrow.
3. This is the strangest rule that Li Yi finds: tourists must report their real names, including all suffixes of their names, without any omissions.
Among the information, Li Yi felt that the first of his speculations should be reasonable. As the actual manager of a copy and the one who made the rules, he was almost certain that all the rules of the other party were to serve the ultimate purpose of the manager.
of.
Combining the two rules that the task was to find all the people who had disappeared, and that he needed to know the specific number of people and names, Li Yi thought of a possibility almost instantly.
However, just because he thought of this possibility, Li Yi couldn't help but wonder: If it is as he thought, could anyone complete this kind of task?
Impossible! This was an idea that came to him subconsciously. However, although the adventure mode is indeed very difficult, according to the information obtained by Li Yi, it is definitely not a type that is completely impossible to pass.
Li Yi noticed something when he first entered the town, and this unnoticed point was the conclusive evidence that someone had passed through!
Since someone had passed through before, it shouldn't be the possibility he thought of. Thinking of this, Li Yi felt a little more at ease.
It's okay, at least there is still room for maneuver. With this thought, Li Yi simply washed up, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep. His idea was that he must be energetic enough to face the possible battle tomorrow.
If it is possible to fight, it is necessary to recharge your batteries. If not, that is the worst possibility. Tonight is very likely to be Li Yi's last night.
However, he would never have imagined that the head-on contact would come so quickly.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the tourists who came to the nameless town one after another all stayed in different people's homes. As time went by, the lights in each house dimmed.
Perhaps it was due to the fatigue of the journey, all the tourists quickly fell asleep, including Li Yi of course.
Li Yi found that it was already dawn when he woke up. He looked at the time and found that although it was still early, the sun was already very bright, shining on the floor beside his bed. A touch of warmth quickly made the cold room feel more comfortable.
Now that he was awake, Li Yi simply got up, washed up, and went directly to find Hank.
After he explained his purpose and requirements, the other party's face suddenly darkened, with anger on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday? You just came now. Do you know that I have already reported to Aunt Martha, and now you tell me that your name is wrong? Do you know that once Aunt Martha comes, there will be
What are the consequences? Did you do it on purpose?" At this point, Hank's originally kind face could no longer contain his anger.
The originally pale face became even paler, the veins on his neck popped out, and the dark eye sockets were like two bottomless black holes. Even in broad daylight, Li Yi felt a chill.
This inhuman tool man was about to go berserk.
Li Yi quickly explained, with a hint of apology on his face: Well... I didn't care about it yesterday. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, so I came here early this morning to explain the situation to you. I hope you don't mind it.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Hank's anger subsided a lot, but he still hummed: In this case, you go with me to see Aunt Martha, you have to explain to her that it was your own mistake.
Okay, don't get me involved.
"Didn't you say you can't take the initiative to find her?" Li Yi asked in confusion.
"That's a normal situation. For things like this that may endanger the reputation of the town, big trouble will happen if you don't go to Aunt Martha." Hank said, holding Li Yi and going out.
Li Yi, who was dragged away by him, didn't have the slightest idea of ​​resisting. Instead, he kept thinking in his mind.
So easy to see? Although my original intention was to use some excuse to go to the manager and have direct contact to verify my ideas.
However, this seems to be a little too smooth. It doesn't even look like reality. Also, I just remembered the name wrong. It doesn't need to rise to the level of word-of-mouth. Isn't it too...
Wait! Reality? Dream?
Li Yi suddenly thought of a possibility.
However, when he was trying to break free from the other party's hand, a sneer sounded in his ears.
"Humph, I discovered it so quickly. You are really not an ordinary person."
This sudden sound immediately made Li Yi increase the strength of his hands, but he found that it was as if he was bitten by an iron pincer, unable to move at all. He couldn't help but look at the tool man Hank, only to find that the appearance of the other person had changed.
Earth-shaking changes.
An extremely uncoordinated woman's face completely covered Hank's original appearance. However, because Hank's face was relatively slender, this broad woman's face could not be fully displayed, so that only about five-sixths of the face was displayed.
, extremely strange, at this moment, he was staring at Li Yi.
Just looking at this face, Li Yi even had to wonder if he owed the other party a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't understand why she looked at him with such bitter and hateful eyes.
Seeing the sudden appearance of this face, Li Yi tried to say: Are you that Aunt Martha?
When the other party heard this, he didn't seem to expect Li Yi's reaction at the moment. It took him a while to react: You... don't seem surprised at all?
"Do you need my cooperation? I'm not very good at putting on a show." Li Yi said with a smile, seemingly not at all surprised by the sudden appearance of a woman's face on the man's face.
The other party shook his head without hesitation: No, this is not a rule I made, it is just the most common reaction. Stop talking. Do you know I am coming to find you?
"Of course." Li Yi had already expected it, took out a cigarette and lit it: I have been waiting for you. I said a lot to Mr. Hank yesterday, but I have always had some doubts in my heart. I feel that I can only meet you in person.
can be solved.
"As the manager of the town, I am happy to answer your questions, please tell me." The extremely uncoordinated woman's face showed a half-smile expression, which looked very scary, but her tone seemed very sincere.
"If I'm not wrong." Li Yi blew out a smoke ring and said calmly.
