289. See the boss

"Wow - wow -"

The crow kept circling over the body of the King of Hearts, making a hoarse and incomprehensible cry.

Fanny said preemptively:

"Peloris, you make the decision."

Peloris looked at Ha La:

"What do you think?"

Hala said:

"The most important thing for us now is to escape, but I don't know any way to get out of here."

Peloris nodded slightly. In her opinion, Hala's statement meant that she could not stay in this place for too long.

Inge asked:

"Peloris, where did you get these things? Isn't there no one on the street?"

Peloris said:

"Although the vast majority of residents in the city are hiding at home, they still need to eat and drink. The Clown Queen will distribute a minimum amount of food according to the number of people every Wednesday night, while allowing some people with resources to sell their food at low prices.

“But this is not enough for some people, such as wealthy businessmen who do not want to sell food at low prices, and nobles who want to continue to enjoy delicious food and hold banquets.

"So some underground exchanges have appeared in this city, which can also play an emergency role to a certain extent, and that's where I found supplies."

Peloris did not explain how she knew these things, nor did she say what she exchanged for the food.

Peloris placed her backpack on the ground, took out four different masks and handed them to several people:

"Wear a mask. Everyone in the underground exchange must abide by this rule. And wait a moment and you stand behind me. Don't say anything. Leave everything to me to negotiate. No matter what happens, don't say anything."

Fanny immediately agreed:

"OK."

Hala took over the bunny mask and put it on, Antotica's mask was a gorilla face, Fanny's was a lion mask, and Inge put on a crow mask.

Peloris, on the other hand, was not wearing a mask.

Antotika asked:

"Peloris, don't you wear a mask?"

Peloris smiled:

"They already know me."

Peloris led a few people walking on the street, constantly turning and turning, and they also confirmed that not only near the door, but also the streets everywhere were deserted. Only the occasional noises from the houses on both sides proved that this place was empty.

There is still a glimmer of life.

Peloris soon arrived outside the back garden of a villa.

There was a large metal gate in front of the group, but the metal gate was deformed and twisted for some reason, and it was loosely open.

Peloris walked in directly.

After passing through the back garden surrounded by statues and bushes, they came to an iron gate with a movable window.

Peloris gently clicked the iron door.

The movable window was pushed open, revealing a pair of amber pupils:

"It's you! Do you still dare to come back?"

Peloris stood in front of the other people, so they couldn't see her front.

From their perspective, Peloris just stood there, doing nothing, but a horrified voice came from behind the door:

"Sorry, I'll open the door right now."

Fanny realized that Peloris had asked them all to stand behind her just to resemble the situation at this moment.

Those amber pupils must have seen something they didn't know.

After entering the villa, they discovered that it had been completely transformed into a temporary market. Businessmen wearing masks were sitting on the ground casually, with various products in front of them, and many people were walking in front of the street stalls.

Go.

But the moment they entered, the air seemed to freeze. Everyone looked at the girl without a mask and shrank back involuntarily. Some of them even swallowed their saliva.

Peloris looked at the man who let them in:

"I want to see your boss."

The owner of the amber pupils is a strong man with a short head, wearing a white mask with only his eyes exposed, and a half "spade" pattern on the mask.

But for such an obviously fierce and strong man, 0 looked at Peloris with fear in his eyes.

This was very surprising to both Inge and Antotika, because they could not understand that this strong man would show fear to an aristocratic lady who was still in high school.

Fang Ning, on the other hand, confirmed his guess.

The strong man said nervously:

"Boss, the boss is not here."

Peloris frowned.

Ha La reminded:

"He's lying."

Peloris turned to look at Hala and nodded.

Although she had told her never to speak, Ha La was different.

Peloris took a step towards the man:

"If you don't take us there, I can find it myself."

The man said with an ugly expression:

"Well, then you wait for me here, and I'll go and notify the boss first to see if he wants to see you?"

Hala said:

"He didn't lie."

Inge and Antotika also discovered something unusual about the two of them belatedly, but they still remembered Peloris's instructions and did not ask questions at this time.

Peloris said:

"Go ahead."

The man ran away almost as if he was running for his life.

Hala took advantage of this opportunity to observe the people around her. They were wearing various masks, but there was one type of mask that was far more numerous than the others.

Where Ha La saw it, about a quarter of the people were wearing pale white masks, with only three black arcs on the masks.

There are two upward curved arcs and one downward curved arc, respectively at the positions of the eyes and mouth.

Smiley mask.

Peloris whispered:

"Everyone except Ha La, please don't say anything, otherwise the owner of this place may notice your vulnerability."

The three of them nodded.

Soon another man with a more slender figure walked towards a few people. He also wore a folk mask with half a "spade" on it.

The man bowed slightly in front of Peloris and said in a gentle voice:

"My lord is waiting for you, please come with me."

The man respectfully led the way in front of them and led them to a staircase going down. There were two strong accomplices standing next to them.

He did not even look at his accomplices, but led the way very responsibly, leading Peloris and the others down.

The man took them down three floors in a row, then walked out of the stairs and came to a long and slender corridor.

The corridor has very counterintuitive proportions. The width is only two meters, but at a glance it is at least fifty meters long.

The man leading the way stopped here:

"I can't move forward anymore, you just need to keep moving forward."

After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.

There are obviously electric lights on the first and second floors, but this corridor seems a bit dark, with only the torches on both sides emitting weak light.

Peloris took the lead towards the gloomy corridor.

Fanny looked at her back and felt a strange feeling.
Chapter completed!
