RNP Chapter 776 The Missing Executive
Chapter 776 The Missing Executive
"Ying, do you think I'm too tired from work? I seemed to have seen someone yesterday who shouldn't have been here..."
While Paimeng was screwing in the screws, he couldn't help but chat with Ying who was also screwing in the screws next to him. This kind of boring and repetitive work was okay for one or two days, but if he kept doing it, he would become stupid.
"Don't talk about it, Paimon. The rework rate for both of us yesterday was as high as half. If we continue like this today, we won't be able to have dinner."
Ying was no longer as curious as when she first came in. Her eyes, which were once full of life, were now dull. The work in this prison was not as easy as she had imagined.
Although Leosli and Sigwen gave them some preferential treatment for the sake of Villette, it did not include concession coupons. If they wanted to be exempted from working when they first arrived, they could only earn concession coupons by working.
In fact, they can also fight in a boxing ring, but fighting in a boxing ring also requires special coupons for betting. With their brilliant achievements, they have successfully made it to the point where they may not even be able to have dinner.
I can only say that it was Zuo Xi's habit. He was used to a good life and it was a little hard for him to adapt to doing something that was not very creative all of a sudden.
"Wow, my luck was so bad today and yesterday. The things I got for the free lunch at noon were so weird..."
Thinking of the weird meal he had yesterday, Paimeng felt like his life was covered in a layer of dust.
It's not that bad to say the food is that bad, but the appearance is really impressive, enough to make even Paimon, who is not a picky eater, prepare himself mentally before eating it.
But what was more surprising was that after eating that thing, not only did I not have diarrhea, I actually felt a lot stronger... That's really strange, could it be that the stranger things are, the more unexpected effects they may have?
"That thing is indeed a little... hard to describe."
They are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and at the very least, they have a normal diet. Even in the most difficult times, they can make their own sweet flower stuffed chicken and mushroom chicken skewers. So they have a low acceptance of this kind of magical and strange food.
"Come to think of it, Paimon, who did you see? Did you hallucinate from eating?"
With a sigh, Ying returned to Paimon's original topic.
Although she said not to chat, it would affect the achievement rate. But this job is too boring, and not chatting is really a bit torturous... She didn't know how this unknown worker next to her was so devoted.
"I seemed to have seen a straggler yesterday...but I heard from Rosalin that he should be in Inazuma, right?"
Paimon answered truthfully. Although it was just a glance, she seemed to see the big round hat. Could it be someone wearing the same clothes? Or maybe she was just hallucinating from exhaustion.
"It's really unlikely. I feel that the bad-tempered guy is unlikely to come to a place like this and willingly endure such suffering..."
It was really hard for Ying to imagine that the guy who was so obviously evil and had no intention of hiding it would willingly come to this underwater prison.
Considering the opponent's strength, there shouldn't be any problem in beating Clorinde, and under normal circumstances, Villette wouldn't participate in the duel.
In other words, even if Sanbing was really in Fontaine and had really committed something, he probably would not be thrown into jail.
"Sure enough, I must have seen it wrong... Come to think of it, I haven't seen the Young Master in the past few days. Didn't Zuo Xi send him down? Why haven't I seen him?"
Theoretically speaking, since Young Master is acting as a smokescreen in public, their secret investigation team should not have any contact with the other party.
But even if there is no contact, it is a bit strange that there is no human shadow.
Melo Petersburg is not small, and the structure of the upper and lower floors is also complicated, with countless places to hide. However, there are only a few areas where people can move freely, so they will not be unable to find it even if they pay close attention.
She didn't believe that the young master was the kind of person who could tighten screws very well. If there were no more special coupons, he would definitely come to earn some money.
"Something is not right. In the worst case scenario, the young master has been completely exposed and has been dealt with without anyone noticing..."
Ying was half joking, and half really felt that something was wrong. Theoretically, with the young master's strength, this kind of thing should not happen.
But given the other person's personality, it would be very abnormal if there was no movement for such a long time.
"No, no way... Uh, although this kind of thing does sound like it would happen in prison... Ying, should we still ask around?"
Paimon shuddered slightly. When she thought that someone she knew might have been imprisoned quietly in some dark corner or simply turned into a corpse, she felt a chill down her spine.
"…There's nothing we can do. Let's skip a meal and save up some special vouchers so we can skip a day or two of work and go investigate."
……
"She's really missing, Ying... I, I'm so scared."
After two days of inquiries, Paimeng and Ying finally confirmed the news of the young master's disappearance.
The inmates in the prison all said that they had seen the person they described, and because he was a good fighter, he attracted quite a lot of attention.
Although no one made the disappearance of such a person public, many people still noticed it.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you... However, this underwater prison is not normal, no wonder Zuo Xi asked us to come and investigate."
The disappearance of the young master almost confirmed that there was something wrong here. Whether it was because people were prone to disappearing here, or because he attracted attention as a smokescreen, this showed that there was an unspeakable secret in Melo Petersburg.
"Paimeng, we have to officially start the investigation. Not only do we have to find out the secret that Zuo Xi asked us to find out, but we also have to rescue the young master... If it was really done by Mello Petersburg, they wouldn't dare to kill an executive officer."
Let alone Melo Petersburg, under normal circumstances, even gods would not necessarily directly execute an executive of another country. What's more, this country is the winter where two gods coexist, and Zuo Xi specially organized a ceremony to show off his muscles to the entire Teyvat.
It was just an autonomous organization semi-separated from Fontaine. It executed an executive, who was also Zuo Xi's friend. There was no way he would let it go.
At that time, it would be questionable whether Mello Petersburg could continue to exist. Before Fontaine faced the prophecy, he would first have to face Zuo Xi's anger.
To rescue the young master is, in a sense, also to rescue Fontaine.
