[Infinite] End Game

"... Supervisor?" Tang Yu frowned slowly, but instead of interrupting the person in front of him, he listened to him speak slowly.

"Yes, supervisor." Liu Changyou's eyes became far away, as if he had completely fallen into memory, he said: "The supervisor's surname is Zhang, and there is a word Cheng in his name, so everyone calls him Brother Cheng. But that Cheng Goth is not a thing, in order to show his face at the boss, he yells at his brothers all day long, and even deducts our wages, which of the brothers who work together has not been beaten by him?"

"Fortunately, God has eyes. Once he went into the mine to patrol, just in time for a landslide, and buried him." Liu Changyou seemed to have thought of something happy, chuckled, and then continued: "My boss dare not Zhang Dacheng was afraid of bad luck, so he asked someone to secretly send the body out for burial. The rest of the overseers were also afraid of retribution, so they didn't dare to beat and scold us at will, but who knew that they would come here for whatever they were afraid of. It wasn't long after Zhang Dacheng died. In the peaceful days, another accident happened in the mine.”

"What happened?" Tang Yu asked, "Did something knock on the door in the middle of the night?"

"...No, it's not right." Liu Changyou closed his eyes and recalled it carefully before he said firmly: "It's not that the door was smashed, but a miner died, and the door smashing was a later thing."

"Oh?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and thought deeply, "Miner, how did you die?"

"I don't know." Liu Changyou shook his head, and added: "I didn't see it at the time, but I heard that his head was chopped off."

"That miner is a newcomer. He is very unpleasant. He is always lazy in his work. Everyone looks down on him. But there is an example of Zhang Daquan, and no supervisor is willing to suffer from this. For a while, no one cares about him. He insisted on letting him live a cool life for a few days, but who knows, he suddenly disappeared."

"After that, there was a sound of chiseling doors in the dormitory, every night. At first, everyone was frightened, and after changing many door locks, they couldn't stop the thing, but then everyone found out that as long as you work hard during the day It’s probably okay to lie down at night with your eyes closed and don’t make eye contact with that thing. Those who die from time to time are those who are lazy or who are weak and unable to complete the task. That’s why everyone said that Zhang Dacheng is back. "

The miner said it vividly, and Tang Yu was a little surprised after listening carefully: "It's so evil, why didn't your boss ask someone to show it?"

"Look!" Liu Quanyou said, "I found a few groups of monks and priests, and I did a few rituals, but it was useless. When I deserve to die, I will die as usual. My master doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it. In the end, we could only add money to us, and let everyone close the door at night and sleep until dawn."

"Can't you leave? Are you afraid that one day it will be your turn?" Tang Yu asked.

"If you leave, not only will you lose your wages, but you will also have to pay a sum of money. Besides, will you be able to live well after leaving? These days, if you don't have enough food and sleep, you will die wherever you go. It's better to stay. Buy some coolies here, as for the others, it’s life and death.”

...It's life and death.

If he was really such an open-minded person, he wouldn't have been dragged into this mine in the first place.

While thinking about it, Tang Yu stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Liu, now we have a solid foundation in our hearts. Please bear with me if I offended you before."

"Forget it, forget it, those in charge are taboo about this, just don't say it." Liu Changyou was upset and couldn't beat the third brother who was as strong as an iron tower, so he could only move his arm that was so painful just now.

After talking for a while, Liu Changyou saw that they didn't intend to stop him, so he told them a few more words to remind them not to buy him, and then he turned and hurried back.

The third brother has been staring at Liu Changyou's back, and his expression has become uneasy since the middle of the conversation. When the footsteps completely disappeared, he said: "Can you believe what he said?"

"Maybe you can believe it, or maybe you're lying to us." Tang Yu smiled and said, "That's why I asked Li Qi to inquire elsewhere."

Humans are creatures of habit, and they don't have the ability to read minds.

In this world where he could die if he made a wrong move, he couldn't hang his fate on the story told by the NPC, but with Li Qi's news as a comparison, the truth and falsehood would become clear.

The third brother couldn't help but look at Tang Yu a few more times when he heard the words, and once again lamented that there are many good-looking people with eyes.

He has never encountered such a complicated thing in his life for nearly 30 years, and he still has doubts in his heart.

"Tang Yu." He said, "That supervisor...will he really kill those who are lazy at work and can't complete tasks?"

Tang Yu didn't answer immediately, but raised his hand habitually, rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, thought for a long time, and said, "It's not the supervisor."

"...Huh?" The third brother frowned.

"Whose supervisor is so dedicated, and he still doesn't forget to help the boss watch the workers when he comes back from the fraudulent corpse? Then why does the boss hire someone to do it? How good is it to keep it." There is no need to pay wages, and it is guaranteed that no one will be lazy.

"Don't worry, it may be true that you will die if you work slowly, but it must not be the supervisor." Tang Yu smiled and asked, "Third Brother, why do you think about it?"

The third brother mechanically repeated: "Why?"

Tang Yu: ...

Forget it.

"If the overseer killed the miners at night out of the habit of his life, then out of the same habit, what he was holding at night should be a whip, or at least a nightstick, but no matter what, it shouldn't be a mining pick."

"...It's really unreasonable. According to this, the person holding the pickaxe... should be a miner."

The third brother followed Tang Yu's thinking, but became even more puzzled: "But why does it feel like it's coming back? If the supervisor didn't come back, how did the first miner die?"

"How did you die..." Tang Yu chewed on this sentence, and replied, "It's hard to say now, wait for Li Qi to see what news he has."

The third brother was silent, only feeling that there was something strange about this matter.

It's just a headache.

If they want to go to the toilet, they have to go through this mine tunnel. They don't know when Liu Changyou will come out. They have been squatting here all morning, and they have been delayed for a long time.

Li Qi was busy inquiring for news, and his body was fragile, so he couldn't dig much ore.Seeing Liu Changyou leaving in a hurry, Third Brother and Tang Yu felt a little impatient. If they really came to die at night according to their workload, they would be in danger now.

The two of them hurried back to the assigned mine tunnel without wasting any more time.Not long after, Li Qi also came back with an uneasy expression on his face. Tang Yu looked at Li Qi's frowning look, and knew that he must have also found out the law of death.

Just as the three of them looked at each other, worrying about whether they would be able to meet the construction schedule if they worked hard in the afternoon, Liang Shan, who was excluded from the plan because of his uncontrollable behavior, walked out of the mine.

The tall and stern man was carrying a rough stone in his hand. After seeing the three people, the man was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his arm, threw the rough stone in front of the three people, and turned back to the mine with a blank face. .

Tang Yu was a little confused, so after looking at each other with Li Qi and his third brother, he also walked towards the mine where Liangshan disappeared.

Then, they saw rough stones piled up all over the narrow mine tunnel.

Immediately, the three of them all showed shocked expressions.

I don't know if it's because he has already started, but Liangshan dug a lot more stones today than yesterday.Just those piled on the ground completely beat the progress of the three of them digging all afternoon yesterday.

In other words, as long as they work hard in the afternoon, even if they are not number one, they will definitely not be the target of that thing in the evening.

There were tears in my eyes.

Li Qi & Third Brother: ...!

Tang Yu: ...

A dog's life was saved by a fool! !
