Chapter 51: Obstacles on the Fire Escalator(1/2)
Wait until the Sphinx walks out and closes the door.
The baron sat in his chair and seemed to be talking to himself.
"Penn, what do you think of the Sphinx's idea?"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a young man came out of the small room attached to the office.
"Father, I think it's a good idea."
"But your mother, accompanied by the Queen, is about to have a secret meeting with Lockerbie."
The Sphinx doesn't know this level of secret.
"Anyway, we want to persuade Lockerbie and bring him to our side. I think this method is not bad."
"Tap, tap"
The footsteps came from "Trilicia"'s feet.
The voice was clear and sweet, but it also made Xie Sheng feel a little scared.
Xie Sheng was deeply afraid that these footsteps might attract something.
But walking up the stairs one by one went smoothly beyond his expectation.
It was very safe on the fire escape. There were no little green men, no gangsters, and no werewolves.
It was even very clean, as if it had just been cleaned.
"You just lied to me and said that this trip would be very dangerous."
"I personally think it's safer for the two of us than walking on the beach."
Because the two people walked very close.
When "Trilicia" spoke in Xie Sheng's ear.
Xie Sheng felt a warm wind blowing on the back of his neck.
He turned his head: "Do you like walking on the beach?"
When Xie Sheng turned around, there were almost only two masks between the two of them.
Their eyes met, after a moment's pause.
"Trilicia" moved her head back slightly.
Xie Sheng also turned his head and continued walking down.
For the rest of the time, both of them were silent.
Keeping a half-step distance, walk down the stairs step by step.
Until a "wall" appeared in front of me
After Xie Sheng walked over, he realized why it was so quiet on the fire escape.
The fire escape exit is located on the side of the building.
One side is the outer wall of the building, and the other side is the iron railing.
Originally there was an iron gate on the front.
Now a car is pressed against the guardrail next to it.
There were many wooden boxes on the car, and the wooden boxes were piled very high.
It looks like a high wall.
There are also some wooden boxes neatly stacked in front of the iron gate.
"Trilicia" walked to his side.
"Did anyone park here?"
"No, it seems like someone parked the car like this on purpose."
"Who could it be?"
"If I'm not wrong, Charlie did this"
"Who is Charlie?"
"He is also the resident upstairs, the guy with the Cromwell mask."
"Now that I think about it, he's a pretty good person."
"Yes, but it will be a little more troublesome if we want to get out from here."
"Yeah, how can we get out?"
Xie Sheng looked at the wooden boxes with iron doors blocked.
There were some labels printed on it, and it turned out to be a cart of cans.
He remembered that there was a canning factory not far away.
Various cans are produced there, and the main customers are ocean-going cargo ships.
Also supplied to the Demon Ruins' navy.
Charlie is such a smart guy.
This cart of cans is a rare good thing.
If it stays dark like this, food will become a big problem in the morning and evening.
What if all the cans in this cart were taken upstairs?
Food for the people upstairs will not be a problem for ten days and a half.
Now is not the time, let's leave these boxes here as walls.
Xie Sheng first threw the stick in his hand outside the wall made of boxes.
Then he reached out and grabbed the iron railing and climbed up.
Using his hands and feet, he quickly climbed onto the wooden boxes.
Looking around, it was probably because of the firelight all around.
It is much brighter on the street than on the rooftop.
At least you can roughly see what's going on around you.
There are messy things littered everywhere on the ground.
Most things are not useless waste.
Under normal circumstances, this is impossible to happen.
In Niwan District, even if a pin accidentally falls on the ground.
If you turn around and look for him, he may have disappeared.
Not to mention valuables such as pans, copper kettles and clocks that are easily cashable.
These things must have been thrown here in a hurry.
There were also some bloody corpses.
You can imagine what happened here.
"Hey, have you forgotten me?"
"Trilicia" shouted from below.
Xie Sheng turned around and bent down, "Give me the lantern and pistol first."
"Trilicia" handed him the lantern and pistol.
Xie Sheng put the two things away: "Why did your gun become so big?"
"A sailor saw me as pitiful, so he exchanged ideas with me."
Xie Sheng stretched out his hands to her.
"Trilicia" looked at Xie Sheng's outstretched hands.
He also stretched out his hands.
Xie Sheng grabbed her hands and pulled them upwards.
Throw her body upward.
"ah--!"
"Trilicia" didn't expect that he wouldn't help her climb up slowly.
Instead, he used such a crude method.
She exclaimed in fright.
After Xie Sheng released his hands and threw "Trilicia" up, he held her arms and threw her up again.
