The end of being favored by the gods [Infinite Stream]

The newspaper boy was full of doubts. He always felt that this lady with her head down looked familiar.

In front of several people, he slowly flipped through the newspaper in his hand, with his eyes sideways, as if confirming a certain idea, carefully flipping through the pages.

Just as he was about to turn to the last page, a hand suddenly stopped his sight.

Xue Quning showed a friendly smile: "I bought it."

The newsboy's mouse immediately beamed with joy: "Hey, okay! I'll bring you a new one."

He pulled the book in his hand: "Please let go of your hand."

Xue Quning: "I buy everything."

A few minutes later, the newsboy happily left with ten gold coins, while Xue Quning and Yan Yi had ten more newspapers in their hands.

Yan Yi was baffled: "Why did you buy them all?... That's right, why are you so rich??"

Xue Quning glanced at Xiao Shan and the others who were quietly eavesdropping, and sighed, "I only have a dozen gold coins."

Yan Yi regained her inner balance a little.

Xue Quning also took a newspaper and opened it, page by page, ten lines at a glance, trying to find some valuable information, when he turned to the last page, he suddenly saw a wanted warrant.

Clara's photo was also printed on the wanted notice.

Yan Yi thought about the consequences of letting the newsboy open the newspaper just now, and her heart sank: "If I let him see it just now... no wonder you bought them all."

"It's just a pity that I lost ten gold coins." She hissed.

Xue Quning folded the newspaper: "You can earn it back, so there is nothing to regret."

Yan Yi rolled her eyes: "It's not as simple as you said, gold coins will not be settled with points, they are special items and can only be obtained through gifts from local residents. Banks in the game world are not open to players. A few gold coins are considered big money."

Xue Quning smiled: "Then wouldn't it be easy for me to be robbed?"

Yan Yi nodded helplessly: "Fortunately, you have used it now."

The other side seemed to discuss it, and sent Zhou to negotiate with them.

"Now we can divide into two teams." He said bluntly: "One way is to take Clara to hide first, it's not safe to expose her to the outside, and the other team is to go to platform 355 on Walnut Road."

"What do you think?"

"Okay." Xue Quning said, "We are few in number, our strength is not high, and we don't have any weapons in our hands. Why don't you find them."

Zhou originally wanted to discuss with them, and the three of them took Clara to hide. It was much safer to hide than to be exposed.

But after Xue Quning finished speaking, he was really embarrassed to ask for easier work.

He hesitated for a while, then thought about it, Clara is now a wanted criminal in the newspaper, it must be more dangerous to hide with her, so he nodded: "It's okay."

After the two discussed peacefully, Zhou went back and repeated his original words.

Xiao Shan: "He really gave up the search points?"

In this kind of dungeon, the degree of exploration will definitely be included in the score calculation. If you just hide around with the mission target, the score will definitely be greatly reduced.

Zhou nodded: "They have a very clear understanding of themselves, and their strength is not high."

Xiao Shan laughed aloud: "That's just right, just like what Guan Xue said just now, Clara is a burden, and she will be killed sooner or later by her side, but it is more cost-effective to take the initiative to explore the way."

Song Guanxue nodded, pursing her lips in embarrassment.

So the teams on both sides separated, and Xue Quning and Yan Yi took the little girl to hide in a deserted alley.

Yan Yi looked at the main street with her head, and said regretfully: "Although we are indeed much safer, we may be much lower than them when calculating points."

Xue Quning was teasing the little girl with grass, and said, "We are not safe either."

Yan Yi was terrified: "Why do you say that?"

Xue Quning: "The newsboy saw our faces just now, and he will take newspapers from the newspaper office after he goes back, and sooner or later he will see the arrest warrant again."

"So...actually, from that moment on, there is no one of our two roads that is safer."

As soon as the voice fell, a series of chaotic footsteps sounded suddenly, accompanied by violent and arrogant scolding: "Give way, make way! Perform business!"

"Did you ever see a little girl about waist-high?"

"Everyone present will be interrogated!"

Yan Yi and Xue Quning hid a little deeper in the corner.Yan Yi's heart beat faster, if Xue Quning hadn't been so decisive just now, then they must have been controlled.

"What about the other three?"

Xue Quning smiled: "They were arrested, is it your fault?"

Yan Yi immediately said, "Of course not!"

"So why bother with them." Xue Quning did not have any overflowing sympathy in his eyes, "We can't even protect ourselves."

"I thought you came here for a month first, you should know these unspoken rules better than me."

Yan Yi bit her lower lip, she felt that what Xue Quning said was indeed correct, it was indeed that she hadn't adapted to the game world yet.

"I was lucky in the first few copies." She scratched her hair, "You are more suitable for this place than me."

While they were hiding in the dark, the soldiers had already caught several residents out.

"We really didn't see..." The vendor sat on the ground trembling, his mouse eyes glowing. "Maybe, they left. I just saw them standing at the entrance of the town."

He pressed his tongue against his teeth to keep himself from laughing.

Of course he was lying.Clara's reward and ransom is not low, and the money has to go into her own pocket.

The soldier captain looked him up and down with cold eyes, and suddenly let him move closer.

The merchant took a few steps forward in a daze, and suddenly his sight was covered by a bloody mouth.

He felt that the tip of his nose could smell the disgusting smell of the digestive system, the disgusting touch of the tip of his tongue, and the saliva with the smell of carrion splashed on his face. The part disappeared, and then came the severe pain.

Xiao Shan, who witnessed all this, felt a pain in his neck and broke out in cold sweat, as if the one whose head was bitten off was not the Rat Man, but himself.

His gaze was slightly off, and Song Guanxue also looked pale when he saw Song Guanxue.

Feeling better, Xiao Shan heaved a sigh of relief, but said in his heart that he was a fool.

They are also besieged now, but fortunately they are far enough away that they cannot be checked for a while.

He cursed: "I knew I was hiding just now. That Xue Quning must have thought of this!"

Zhou Chen said: "It's useless to complain now, we must find a way to escape, otherwise we will be criminal partners and be beheaded."

Yan Yi found a place to squat down and rest for a while: "So why is she wanted?"

She pointed her chin at the little girl.

At this time, Xue Quning has found the joy of teasing her daughter, and can play with it for a long time by picking a piece of grass on the ground.He teased and replied, "It's written in the newspaper."

Yan Yi picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. The first thing she saw was not the reason for the arrest, but the gold coin reward.

"1000?!" She was about to be moved.

"Even if we send Clara there, we won't get any money." Xue Quning ruthlessly dispelled her illusions: "We are accomplices in a crime. Send Clara to surrender."

Yan Yi curled her lips and continued to read the newspaper.

Additional information is of limited value.The reason why Clara was wanted was that she smashed the precious glass oil cup of the Mouse King, which was of little help to the mission.She put down the newspaper and said sadly, "Then what should we do now? Are we going to be hunted down all the time?"

Xue Quning threw the grass away, looked down at the newspapers spread on the ground, and seriously thought about the way out.

"Do you have a pen?"

Yan Yi: "Yes." Then she took out a very rough charcoal pencil from her bag.

Xue Quning doesn't dislike it, and there is indeed nothing to dislike now.He emphatically marked several news items in the newspaper with charcoal.

Church and pharmacy.

Rat Palace.

He connected the church and the pharmacy with a straight line, and seemed to hesitate before drawing a cross.

"What are you painting?" Yan Yi asked curiously.

"It takes three days for the criminal to be caught and beheaded." He clicked on a marked circle with a pen, "The criminal has been undergoing purification in the church for these three days."

Yan Yi nodded: "I know, so?"

Xue Quning rolled up the newspaper and did not explain for the time being, but just asked her: "How much safer do you think our situation will be if we can clear the charges of our accomplices?"

Yan Yi rubbed her chin: "Except for the danger brought by the mission target, our status is about the same as that of the new traders in the town."

As long as the soldiers are not too unlucky, the only source of danger may be starvation due to bankruptcy.

Xue Quning smiled: "I thought of a wonderful hiding place."

Yan Yi patted him on the shoulder excitedly, praising him for being reliable and good.

A few minutes later, they appeared at the door of the church and said they had surrendered themselves.

Xue Quning pushed her newly-acquainted daughter out mercilessly: "We are here to hand over the mastermind of the crime. The crime she committed has nothing to do with us. We are innocent."

Clara wept bitterly.

"..." Yan Yi opened his mouth, "What's so wonderful?"

She had a faint sense of crisis, did she find the wrong teammate?

Her style is to seek stability, to be a dog, why does Xue Quning feel that she is going in another direction?

The little girl cried more and more sadly, more and more uncomfortable, and finally opened her mouth and began to howl.

"Don't cry." Xue Quning knelt down, gently wiped the little girl's tears, and coaxed softly: "Once you cry, I will be reluctant to confess you."

The normal decibel howling was raised to a higher level, as if this could awaken Xue Quning's sympathy.

The Mouse King, who woke up from his afternoon nap, called the pastor suspiciously: "Where did the thunder come from?"
