Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 34 Passerby A

No. 179, East Street.

It was an ordinary residential house, no different from any other house on the street.

Knock knock knock.

Bai Yan gently knocked on the wooden door.

A flurry of activity immediately came from inside the house.

"Huh? They're here already? Wait a minute!"

With a jingling sound, Li Miaoyu finally opened the door.

At this moment, she had changed into a beige dress, no longer wearing the loose work clothes she wore during the day, and looked like a normal young girl.

Bai Yan was momentarily dazed. He suddenly felt that his decision to attend the appointment was a mistake.

They shouldn't be the same kind of people.

"Forehead……"

"let's go."

Before he could speak, Li Miaoyu pulled up his sleeve and walked towards the street in the distance.

This street is the commercial street in the outer city, and most of the shops are located here, making it incredibly diverse.

Li Miaoyu pulled Bai Yan into a tavern.

"Boss, bring the menu, and two more of our signature dishes."

The tavern owner glanced at Li Miaoyu, calmly tossing down a menu: "A rare guest indeed, what brings you to my place?"

"Isn't this to repay my savior? Come on, it's on me today, order whatever you like!"

When Bai Yan looked at the menu, he found that the prices were unexpectedly cheap, much cheaper than the supplies he had previously received in the settlement.

After ordering a few dishes at random and eating and drinking to our hearts' content, the evening's activities officially began.

Bai Yan noticed that many people didn't leave after finishing their meals; instead, they went upstairs.

"What are they going up there for?"

The tavern owner explained, "That's a special place for drinking upstairs. You've never seen anything like it before, have you? This is something you only find in a city the size of Strange Stone City. You won't find this much alcohol in the wasteland outside. A good drink can wash away all your worries. You can release all your stress here."

This tavern has a wide range of operations: dining on the first floor, drinking on the second floor, making money on the third floor, and staying overnight on the fourth floor. Most shops in Qishi City operate under this kind of multi-functional business model.

Li Miaoyu pouted: "Who cares? We'll just go up and see for ourselves."

Upon reaching the second floor, one is greeted by dazzling lights that illuminate the entire floor in color. The air is filled with the aroma of alcohol, and dancers and dancers move gracefully in the center while people below drink and cheer.

Bai Yan had never seen such a scene before. His blood rushed to his head, but fortunately the lights here were bright enough that no one could see his face.

Li Miaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "This is my first time in a place like this too. I never expected it to be like this up there."

She walked up to the bar and shouted, "Give us two drinks! You can mix them however you like!"

Two minutes later.

"Ugh~ It tastes awful~" Li Miaoyu spat it out after just one sip, making the bartender next to her twitch.

Bai Yan took a sip of the drink. The cheap alcohol tasted really unpleasant to him, and he never understood why anyone would like to drink such a nasty thing.

"Let's go."

Compared to the cheerful laughter and unrestrained revelry of the people around them, the two of them seemed out of place.

Just then, they heard a gasp of surprise.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Baiyan?"

Bai Yan turned his head and saw a group of young people with unsteady steps. They looked drunk. The one who called out to him was one of them, a fellow survivor from the previous gathering place of Bai Shi.

However, after arriving in Strange Stone City, they had already separated from each other, and most of them relied on their previous "labor contracts" to find a job that barely allowed them to make a living.

I never expected to meet you here again.

Moreover, the young man in front of him seemed to be doing well in the city. He not only had money to live a life of debauchery here, but he also dyed his hair yellow and mingled with the locals.

"Xiao Jia, who is this?"

Passerby A exclaimed excitedly, "This is a big shot in our community! Brother Baiyan is a Chosen One!"

"The Chosen One! So strong!?"

Everyone gasped in surprise, their eyes shining as they looked at Bai Yan.

"Brother Baiyan, let me buy you a drink! Bartender! How much did my brother spend? I'll pay the bill!"

Bai Yan frowned: "Forget it, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Many people around them turned their attention to them, and the crowd grew larger and larger. He didn't want to get involved with these troublesome people.

"Hey! Big brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Passerby A tried to persuade him to stay, but Bai Yan had already bought several silver coins and left with Li Miaoyu without looking back.

The group was left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Someone patted the passerby on the shoulder and teased, "Hey, looks like your older brother doesn't think much of you."

In their view, what had just happened was just a minor incident, and the air was soon filled with laughter again.

"Hahaha!"

Only the passerby's face grew increasingly gloomy; he could feel that the people around him were looking at him with growing contempt.

Passerby A remembered the words that the Vice Leader had secretly instructed him to say.

……

"Starting today, you will investigate Bai Yan," Wang Yu told him.

Passerby A's eyes widened: "Investigating the Chosen One! Me?"

"I'm not asking you to openly track him. Just secretly find out about him, record his daily activities, and report back to me afterwards."

After saying that, Wang Yu tossed out a bag of silver coins: "Is that enough?"

The heavy weight in his hands made the passerby lower his head involuntarily: "That's enough!"

Wang Yu smiled and said, "Very good. I can feel your piety. Perhaps one day you will also receive a blessing from the gods."

Thus, Passerby A received a secret mission and a large sum of silver coins enough for him to live a carefree and happy life every day.

With this money, he has been doing very well in the outer city and has made many "good friends" in the local gangs.

With these local informants, his surveillance of Bai Yan became much smoother.

I never expected to run into Bai Yan at the tavern today, and I never expected Bai Yan to be so disrespectful to me.

"Damn it, stop pretending. You just got lucky and awakened your power."

The vice-leader had also promised him that as long as he completed his mission well, he would have a chance to become a chosen one in the future!

He glanced at the woman beside Bai Yan. Although he couldn't afford to offend Bai Yan, he was more than capable of causing him some trouble.

Having been in the gang for so long, Passerby A had some understanding of the situation in Strange Stone City. For ordinary people, the Chosen Ones were certainly noble, but if they did not join Strange Stone City, they actually did not have much status and might even be regarded as a potential danger by Strange Stone City.

According to his inquiries over the past few days, Bai Yan has been working outside every day and has not surrendered to Qishi City at all.

The passerby is now a member of a local gang, with a big boss protecting him and the Lost Church backing him up.

The advantage lies with me!
