Chapter 1287 Xia
Swoosh——
Zhang Tuohai turned around suddenly.
Not far behind him stood a girl wearing a windbreaker with her collar turned up high.
Her long red hair fluttered in the wind, and she had a long sword at her waist.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Tuohai saw that the other party did not take direct action and did not make any moves, so he asked politely.
However, the chain of judgment in his hand was secretly gathering power, ready to strike at any time.
"Because these are extraordinary times, can I check your ID? I'm the sheriff of this city."
The woman said this, pointing to the armband on her sleeve - a shield with a pair of crossed long swords.
“This is my ID.”
Zhang Tuohai thought for a moment and handed over his golden ID card.
The woman took it and took a look at it, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Tuohai twice.
"A folklorist actually still exists in the Red Coral City-State? I thought this profession disappeared at the end of the War of the Seven Kings."
"It's just a family tradition, a family tradition." Zhang Tuohai laughed dryly.
"No wonder," the woman nodded and returned the ID to Zhang Tuohai, "In this era, only family traditions can pass down this kind of unpopular knowledge."
"The rest will serve in the coming war."
The woman sighed.
"Is it a war against the three-eyed people?"
Zhang Tuohai suddenly thought of his main task and his heart moved.
"That's right. With the main enemy ahead of us, the conflict between our ancestors and you is not that important anymore."
The woman looked at the red moon in the sky.
A breath of white air came out of his mouth.
"Could it be that those three-eyed people came from the red moon?"
Seeing the woman's appearance, Zhang Tuohai had a guess.
He asked tentatively just to confirm.
"Guess how they'll get here."
"Who knows, it is said that the first group came through the Star Gate, but that thing is not stable, but it is hard to say, maybe when the distance is closer, it will be stable again."
The woman put her hands in her pockets and looked up at the huge red moon.
"There are also rumors that it might be a warship flying in the sky, just like the Queen Anne's Revenge that the first emperor rode on."
The woman said.
"But none of this matters. Anyway, the big guys above will take care of the headaches. We just need to follow orders."
The woman said indifferently.
"Aren't you curious?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"What's the point of being curious? The answer will be revealed in a month anyway. Being anxious won't solve the problem. Isn't it better to just wait quietly for the answer to be revealed?"
The woman shook her fiery red hair and said nonchalantly.
"Only one month until the invasion?"
Zhang Tuohai's mind moved and he noted the time node.
"By the way, if you want to do some in-depth folklore research, remember not to go to the Catwoman Bar. According to gossip, several noble children have been infected there."
The red-haired woman said.
Zhang Tuohai: “???”
"Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Aren't you folklorists all interested in these strange things? Aren't you curious about what the catwoman is made of?"
The red-haired woman said.
"That makes a lot of sense." Zhang Tuohai actually felt that what she said made a lot of sense and he couldn't refute it.
"I'm just interested in various special cultural practices. If you want to study the structure in depth, that's the job of biologists."
Zhang Tuohai tried to clear his name.
"Has it been divided so finely now? Then you've lost a lot of fun."
The long-haired woman patted Zhang Tuohai on the shoulder.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhang Tuohai actually felt a hint of pity in her eyes?
I was actually despised by a woman!
This is intolerable!
"You talk like you know everything, but you still can't get into the Catwoman Bar!"
Zhang Tuohai said angrily.
"My job doesn't allow me to do that, but my neighbor is an employee of the Catwoman Bar. If I want to order them, I can always have them come to my house and serve me!"
The red-haired woman immediately retorted, her voice sounding a little agitated.
"Who knows if what you said is true."
Zhang Tuohai looked blankly.
"Do you dare to come back with me and take a look?"
The red-haired woman was like a cat with its tail stepped on.
"What's there to be afraid of? Wait, are you planning anything bad to me?" Zhang Tuohai tightened his coat.
"You? Humph!" The red-haired woman snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards a small street.
"Come along if you dare."
Looking at the quiet street, Zhang Tuohai decisively chose to follow.
It's so hard to meet a woman who is so easy to trick, I can't let her go easily.
The two people turned left and right in the alley until they came to a two-story building.
This small building is very dilapidated, and from the outside it looks like it is pieced together from various discarded iron sheets and steel plates.
Crooked.
There is an all-metal fire escape ladder outside that leads directly to the second floor.
The surrounding buildings have similar styles.
“It looks like the ghetto.”
"Your living environment here is not very good."
Zhang Tuohai followed the red-haired woman up to the second floor.
"No matter how good it is, in a month, all the good locations will become the focus of attack and become battlefields. This shabby place is relatively safer because there is nothing they need here."
As the red-haired woman spoke, she took out her key and prepared to open the door.
But the keyhole seemed to be rusted, and the red-haired woman tried to push the key in for a long time but failed.
"This broken door, I told the landlord that the door lock should be changed a long time ago, but he never changed it."
The red-haired woman muttered as she took a few steps back and then kicked hard.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound.
The iron door was kicked open.
The door lock collapsed and parts were scattered everywhere.
Zhang Tuohai was stunned watching from the side.
He didn't expect that this woman was so violent and actually used this method to open the lock .
He began to reflect on whether it was a mistake for him to come back with this woman.
Does this mean that I am like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?
Just as Zhang Tuohai was lost in thought, the red-haired woman grabbed his arm.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come in?"
The red-haired woman pulled Zhang Tuohai into the room.
The layout of the room was similar to that outside, with worn-out iron sheets everywhere.
The room was cramped and small, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, which reminded Zhang Tuohai of a movie he had watched called "Hell is Other People".
When he saw the red-haired woman's residence, he felt that the examination hall seemed like heaven.
At least there was a clean bed.
And here, there are wine bottles everywhere.
"Why are there so many wine bottles? Did the landlord come to my room to drink again?" The red-haired woman frowned. "It seems that the lesson I gave him last time was not enough. I will let him stay in the police station for a few days tomorrow."
The red-haired girl clenched her fists.
"Well, this is my house. Your house is next door. Miss Xia, you have gone into the wrong room again." At this time, a trembling voice came from the bed.
