PFRG: Chapter 119

[Eh? Why is he standing there motionless again? Is Brother Song planning to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances?]

[No no, I always feel like my hair is standing on end.]

[Wait, look over there. That place, it seems there was no sign just now, right?]

[F*k, I didn’t notice until you told me. When did that sign appear there?]

[I feel a chill on my back. Nothing happened just now. How did it appear?]

[Maybe it is that… gas station worker?]

[Hiss, have they come out?]

Song Xuefeng also saw the sign that suddenly appeared not far from where he parked his go-kart.

No one knew when it appeared and who placed it there. The bright red arrow slid down due to the paint that hadn’t completely dried yet. It was as if it was stained with dripping blood.

As for the direction that the sign pointed to, it was the convenience store not far away.

Song Xuefeng’s gaze followed it and the incandescent lights in the convenience store suddenly flickered briefly, as if calling for his arrival.

Did the staff member hiding in the dark notice that he had finished reading the rules and took the initiative to give him instructions?

Song Xuefeng’s empty eyes lingered at the door of the convenience store for a long time. Finally, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and was willing to take a step forward and walk over.

He could see that the lighting of the convenience store wasn’t very stable. It flashed several times in succession the moment he walked in.

He looked blankly at the shelves in the dim environment. They were all very common snacks and drinks, just like what a gas station should have in peacetime. There were also a few boxes of specific drinks next to them with huge discount tags, but after looking around, he didn’t find the gas card he needed.

But the gas card must be here. In other words, he had to pass through here if he wanted to get a gas card.

After all, providing guidance services to VIP customers like him who drove a red go-kart was written into the employee code of conduct.

“It is really troublesome…” Song Xuefeng could clearly feel that the patience he had just summoned was slowly running out. His eyelids couldn’t help drooping a few more points. He sincerely sighed. “Humans really need to work very hard to survive… It is just that I am too lazy to move. If it was Ji Xingque who was here, he should be very active in searching this place, right? Well, it is useless to search it again and again. if it was him, he would definitely be trapped here. But he will die sooner or later anyway. It doesn’t seem to matter if he dies here… As expected, I shouldn’t have bothered with this if I had known earlier. It would be good to be a substitute. I regret it now.”

“……”

In front of the surveillance screen, Ji Xingque pointed in disbelief at Song Xuefeng, who was mumbling on the screen. “Captain, doesn’t Old Song know that we can hear what he is saying?”

Chi Ting laughed loudly. “No, he knows.”

Ji Xingque couldn’t help letting out a loud roar. He angrily said, “It is fine if he is miserable, but he even cursed me to death in front of me. Can’t he hope for something good?”

“Don’t listen to Old Song. He is just talking nonsense.” Chi Ting gently patted Ji Xingque on the head. “Don’t you know him? He might always say this with his mouth, but how could he be willing to let you die?”

Ji Xingque was suddenly silent. The emotions on his face disappeared, and he became unusually wilted.

After a long time, he muttered to himself, “Indeed, none of us in Dawn are willing to let others die.”

The moment these words came out, he vaguely felt the hand on his head exert a bit more strength.

Ji Xingque realized he had obviously said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth. He cautiously glanced at the captain out of the corner of his eye.

He said they were reluctant, but in fact, it was the captain who couldn’t accept it the most.

After all, they clearly promised to fight together, but in the end, they broke their promises one by one and left the captain alone…

However, Ji Xingque’s cautious gaze was soon interrupted by Chi Ting rubbing his hair.

“Don’t be distracted. Watch carefully how Old Song handles this situation and learn from him.” Looking at Chi Ting’s expression, he didn’t seem affected by the words just now. His calm mouth curved up gently.

“Oh, okay.” Ji Xingque immediately kept silent. Then within a few seconds, he raised his voice again because of what was revealed on the surveillance screen. “F*k, just go all out?”

The airflow that had been quietly hovering at Song Xuefeng’s feet suddenly dispersed to the surroundings. The invisible barrier that unfolded along with the airflow instantly enveloped the entire gas station.

The figure standing in the middle still looked decadent and listless. The remaining wind around him caused the corners of his clothes to flutter slightly.

He didn’t seem to think that what he had done was a big deal. He rubbed his eyes. Then he yawned with a bit of fatigue after using up his energy.

The audience in the live stream room went crazy after seeing this scene. There were a bunch of exclamation marks before the barrage of comments started scrolling rapidly.

[Oh my god, what did I see? Is this a domain?]

[The entire gas station is included? What type of domain is this? It was expanded on the spot!]

[Why is the reaction so big? I can tell at a glance that you are a newcomer. This is just the beginning. There should be no problem for Brother Song’s domain to surround the entire arcade.]

[…I’m sorry, I always thought he was just a lazy guy who lived a lazy life.]

[But why is he suddenly opening a domain now? There doesn’t seem to be any monsters around here?]

[Heh, didn’t you read the employee rules just now? The gas station employee is still looking at him from somewhere…]

The moment the last sentence was spoken, the audience in the live stream room felt numb.

They stared intently at the developments of the instance and saw Song Xuefeng standing in front of the counter, yawning and wiping tears from the corners of his eyes. He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was feeling. Suddenly, he slowly turned his head towards a dark corner. His tone actually raised a bit in a rare manner. “I found you.”

At the same time, Chi Ting in front of the surveillance screen couldn’t help touching the tip of his nose.

He didn’t know why, but he always felt that this tone and type of words sounded indescribably familiar?

He didn’t think much of it. He looked in the direction Song Xuefeng was looking, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was very brief, but he did capture a shadow that flashed across his field of view.

It was long and pink.

It seemed to be the threads again.

Everything about this Starry Sky Arcade was really related to these disgusting live threads.

Song Xuefeng had already walked over.

Perhaps he also noticed at this moment, or perhaps it didn’t matter if he noticed it or not. As long as it was in his domain, any living thing could be considered to be running around naked.

If it was in normal times, the counter in the corner full of miscellaneous items would indeed be a place that was easily overlooked.

The moment Song Xuefeng approached, he could see a shadow ‘whoosh’ as something retreated.

Song Xuefeng looked at the corner that pretended to be quiet. He ignored the lights flashing wildly around him. He just reached out and opened the storage box above.

After a pile of waste was scattered all over the ground, he leaned forward with rare curiosity and looked at the thing hiding inside.

The huge doll’s head was buried as low as possible, leaving only the smooth top of his head.

In the suffocating silence, the staff member seemed to finally realize that there was nowhere to hide. He slowly raised his head, resigned to his fate.

The huge and deep holes for the eyes on the doll’s headgear stared directly into Song Xuefeng’s equally empty and unfocused gaze.

Song Xuefeng: “……”

The doll: “……”

Song Xuefeng: “………”

The doll: “………”

Song Xuefeng: “.”

He finally realized it was impossible to wait for the other party to speak. He leaned weakly on the counter, stared at the guy in front of him, and was forced to speak first. “So, you put the sign just now to lure me over. What exactly do you want me to do?”

There was still no response.

Song Xuefeng’s drooping eyelids moved slightly.

Oh yes, the rules seemed to say that a gas station employee could only answer the customer with yes or no.

Song Xuefeng thought for a while before speaking again. “If I ask you, can you answer my questions?”

The audience members in the live stream room: [……]

Soon, the doll costume staff, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a somewhat rusty tone, “…Yes.”

“Okay, that is good. Then let me ask a few questions.” Song Xuefeng also felt tired of standing. He pulled a chair over from the side and sat down with his legs spread out, resting his chin on his two hands on the back of the chair. “This is the first question. Does this convenience store have the gas card I need?”

“Yes…”

Song Xuefeng nodded. “Then the second question. Do I need to find the fuel card myself?”

The staff member shook his head this time. “No.”

“The third question. Is this fuel card in your possession?”

Such a question clearly stunned the staff member. Then he was forced to answer. “…Yes.”

“I have one last question.” Song Xuefeng slowly raised his eyes, the expression in the depths of his chaotic eyes condensed slightly. “You don’t actually want me to get this fuel card, do you?”

Suddenly, the sound of the wind blowing into the convenience store made the surrounding atmosphere freeze in an instant.

The corner of Song Xuefeng’s clothes was slightly lifted up. He still maintained his posture, looking steadily forward. His calm expression didn’t show the urgency of racing against time.

Under the ceiling lights that flashed a few times, two pairs of eyes met. The staff member’s eyes hidden behind the hood gradually became gloomy.

He gave his final answer. “Yes.”

The temperature around him seemed to drop by a few degrees at this moment.

Song Xuefeng tightened his collar a bit and murmured softly, “It is indeed a bit cold.”
