Chapter 188 Everyone will die, including you and me.
In the end, she only replied with a nodding emoji.
He walked over to Blanche's seat, sat down, crossed his legs, and made a phone call.
"Beep beep beep—"
Blanche hung up on her!
Pei Hening switched to a chat app.
[Trappis]: My dearest cousin! Why aren't you even answering my calls anymore? (Sad face)
[Blanche]:...
[Blanche]: You have to go back. I'm not talking to you about this.
[Tsuibisi]: You can't control the situation, so you're kicking me out?
[Trappis]: You can send Anna and the others back, I'm not leaving.
Pei Hening leaned against the table and noticed a drawer that wasn't closed properly. Inside was a special document, and she took it out as if possessed.
After carefully reading the contents of the document, his expression turned serious.
No wonder, no wonder Blanche urged her to go back; it seems she really couldn't control the situation.
Who would have thought? The port city of Nerná is riddled with bombs...
[Blanche]: I advise you to listen to me and not throw a tantrum at this time.
[Tsuibis]: I found the document you put in the drawer.
It took her a long time to send a message.
[Blanche]: Tribes, you have to leave. The bomb has a wide-ranging impact. I have arranged for people to clear the mines and have even started to evacuate the citizens. Nerna Port is very dangerous.
[Tsuibisi]: Who planted the bomb?
[Trappis]: The group of wealthy guests and members of the Happy Circus who were invited ten years ago? Plus a former mayor of Warren?
[Trebs]: After the bombing, members of the Pleasure Circus also participated in the rescue. Aren't they the most suspicious?
[Blanche]:...Knowing the seriousness of the matter, you still dare to get involved in this mess?
[Trappis]: No one can leave this world alive, including you and me. If you're not afraid, why should I be?
[Blanche]: You're crazy, Tribes.
[Blanche]: I respect your decision. You still have a chance to back out before 5 p.m. today. I will reserve a ticket for you.
Pei Hening put the documents she had looked through back into the drawer and closed it.
Are the bombs buried beneath the port of Nerna related to the magic circle that Chu Xuange discovered?
Could it be that the person who created the magic circle wanted to use millions of lives to offset the cost of the forbidden magic?
She couldn't sit still any longer. She had always thought it was a simple dungeon, but things had turned out completely unexpectedly.
"Trappis, what did Mayor Blanche say?"
Pei Hening looked at Anna, slightly raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "Do you think she can control me? I'm not in a hurry to leave, but you might not be. You should go back and pack your things."
Anna's eyes widened in disbelief: "Trebs, are you firing me?"
She finally found such a high-paying job with easy tasks. Even Tribes, who had always caused her trouble, became cute and charming in comparison to this high-paying job.
"I didn't say I was going to fire you, but I don't need you to participate in my schedule for the next three days, so consider it a day off for you."
Anna breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; thank goodness, she had almost thought she was going to be fired.
"Alright, go upstairs and pack your things. I'm going to the restaurant to get something to eat."
——
Inside the restaurant, gilded carvings and crystal chandeliers complement each other beautifully.
The waiters, dressed in uniforms, moved slowly and took orders and served dishes to the guests from time to time.
The dining table was covered with a pure white lace linen tablecloth, and silver cutlery and wine glasses were set on the table. Fresh flowers and candlesticks were arranged in a pleasing manner, and every detail exuded ultimate luxury.
Pei Hening immediately spotted the painter Pei'er, wearing a sky-blue knit top and black jeans, chatting and laughing with the violinist Sophia, who was wearing a white halter dress.
The painter Pei'er noticed Pei Hening's gaze, looked up, and quickly avoided her eyes.
Seeing Pei Hening reminded her of the scene where she was forced to be out of character.
This guy is practically a walking OOC (out-of-character) trigger machine.
Violinist Sofia noticed Perle's strange behavior and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"nothing..."
Pei Hening smiled and walked towards the two of them. Pei'er's reaction piqued her interest.
She hates passive-aggressive behavior.
She especially dislikes the passive-aggressive behavior she receives from acquaintances.
She still greeted the creatures she encountered normally.
Pei'er's evasive attitude was so obvious that she became interested.
"Pelle! Sophia."
Sophia looked up and saw clearly the person standing in front of her—wearing a green long dress with puff sleeves, a pearl chain around her waist, and long black curly hair tied in a princess style with a ruby crown hair clip.
"Ms. Tribes, what a coincidence."
Sofia greeted her first, "Did you come alone? We just ordered, would you like to order some more and eat with us?"
Pei'er glanced at Pei Hening furtively and said reluctantly, "Cui Bisi."
"Pelle, are you not welcoming me? Is it because I didn't give you an autograph or a photo before?"
Pei Hening arrogantly raised his chin, his tone extremely irritating.
Sofia was surprised: "Pelle asked you for an autograph and a photo?"
Pei'er's face turned green: "That's not true!"
Pei Hening ordered a few more dishes before saying, "Really? I thought you were upset because you didn't get my autograph and a photo together."
Pei'er felt a headache coming on and took it out on Sophia.
Knowing full well that Tribeca is a real troublemaker, he still invited her to dinner, and now even exchanging information is inconvenient.
Pei Hening asked casually, "Did you run into Senasi today?"
Sophia looked up and glanced around the restaurant: "You need to see him? He was just here, I don't know where he is now."
Pei'er was extremely puzzled. Why did she suddenly bring up Senasi? Could it be that there was something wrong with Senasi?
What do you know?
Pei Hening plucked a petal from a rose on the table: "Miss Pei, your attitude is even more arrogant than mine. I don't like it very much."
"As for the news? I do know some things—after all, I'm Blanche's cousin."
Pei'er glanced at her expression, confirming that the news was important. After weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and put on a fawning expression: "Actress Cui Bisi, do you have any news to share with us?"
As expected, she received an OOC (out-of-character) warning after saying that.
Sophia's eyes widened. She had known Pei'er for so long, and this was the first time she had seen her so obsequious. It was as if they were two completely different people!
Pei Hening's gaze fell on Sophia.
Sofia was stunned: "Me too?"
Pei'er met her questioning gaze and nodded.
Sophia made a strange face and said in a fawning tone, "Queen Tribes, I'd like to know too."
"My cousin told me that another body was found in the storage room on the 14th floor, and it seems to be Senaxi's."
Pei'er frowned. If what she said was true, then there would be trouble.
