Chapter 57: Banquet

Count Laurent found two new humans after Byron.
The first human Xinhuan was different from Wu Fei and Byron. Count Laurent accidentally saw him on the street, but at first sight he became very interested and forced his attendants to bring him over.
It's just that his interest came and went quickly. When he sent the first Xinhuan home, he happened to meet the second Xinhuan, so he didn't change his side within two days, now He was followed by this second Xinhuan.
Wu Fei is not very interested in such romantic plots. He just can't figure out why the other party is doing this-or this Earl Lauren really has no purpose, just an ordinary boring aboriginal...
An ordinary, idle and boring "indigenous people".
Wu Fei felt that he had caught something. Due to the preconceived impression, he always treated the Count Lauren as an aborigine, but to change the way, if the other party is not an aborigine at all? What if the other party is also a planner like him?
...Then the other party's actions are more interesting.
How does such behavior help to disguise the identity of the planner? Isn't it different from the original Count Lauren's style of acting? Wouldn't it only arouse others' suspicion?
What if he assumes that he is Earl Lauren in such a prominent identity?
The first point is to find Shen Xing; the second point is to find a way to cover up the identity as much as possible and secretly eliminate all planners who are close to them.
...
Wu Fei smiled lightly. If you think like this, Lauren's behavior can be explained.
But for now, he should not have doubted that he was a planner. If his guess is correct, he must be careful of the Count Lauren’s actions before he can kill him. But after they can kill each other, they will not be soft. After all, one of the customs clearance conditions of the Human Alliance is to eliminate all the planners of the enemy camp.
After having a reasonable guess in his heart, Wu Fei once raised his doubts about Count Laurent with Yuan Sanfa. After hearing this, Yuan Sanfai said, "I remember one thing."
"Ok?"
"In romance novels, the male lead or male partner often finds a shield before bringing home true love."
After hearing this sentence, Wu Fei knew that he had thought of it with himself, but he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Yuan, how do you know everything?"
"In order to get deeper into my students and understand their thoughts." Yuan Sanfai said solemnly, "If students in class read novels, comics, or play games, I would confiscate their criminal tools and take them back to the office. Watch it and play it again and then return it."
"Knowing yourself and knowing each other is a battle-free battle. I have to understand why those things are more attractive than me in order to keep improving."
...
There is another reason why Wu Fei's "Infernal Affairs Promotion" plan cannot be implemented.
The behavior of Count Laurent was not without influence on him. The impression he left in the demons and blood nobles and officials of Hessen City was almost stereotyped, and was mentioned as "the human lover that Count Laurent used to be." Under such circumstances, trying to be accepted as a younger brother, and then to become the core backbone can only be difficult.
Even on the third day when Count Lauren "abandoned" him, a Countess Alia asked politely at the meal if he "would like to go with her later."
Wu Fei became more aware of her when she was faced with her sister. She almost immediately understood each other's hints and gently rejected the other party's invitation. Later, a blood clan and a demon clan respectively invited him. Wu Fei had the precedent of Mrs. Alia, and she understood their intentions one after another, so she refused them firmly.
But because of these incidents, he realized that it would not be so easy to act as planned.
Yuan San-Fang was very disappointed after hearing about his teammate’s experience. He boldly stated that he could carry this round, let Wu Fei feel relieved, and strongly invite Wu Fei to abandon his plan to help him implement
armed indigenous people, spread "New Idea" action plan.
In fact, these days, Wu Fei has helped Yuan Sanfan develop branch business and spread "new ideas". He has already met with the heads of the underground organizations of the Human League. He has also met some indigenous people in the branch and secretly joined them. Have taken action-for example, to take advantage of dawn to put up posters in residential areas, print promotional publications and advertisements in underground printing factories, etc.
Yuan Sanfan has always explained to others that he has "a more difficult and greater task" to do, so he can't officially join the branch for the time being, but his loyalty and love for the human alliance is undoubtedly a reliable companion and Comrades.
As the originator and propagator of this series of ideas, the branch's founder, Yuan Sanfan now has high popularity and prestige in the underground organizations of the Human League, so everyone will believe what he said.
After listening to Yuan Sanfa’s suggestion, Wu Fei was a little emotional, and decided to see if there was an opportunity at this banquet. If not, he would change his strategy in time and quit his job in the restaurant and go to Yuan Sanfa.
On the day of the banquet, all the staff of the Sunset Hotel were required to arrive in advance to make preparations. The kitchen is so busy that countless fresh ingredients and drinks are fed into the restaurant's kitchen like running water.
However, close to the beginning of the banquet, 52 young people in uniforms wearing white robes were tied with ropes and locked in cage cars and put into the hotel, temporarily detained in the backyard of the hotel.
Among these young people, there are men and women, mainly human races, but there are also a few dwarves and orcs. The most striking is that there are two elves, a man and a woman, locked in a cage in the front. in.
The red cloth was covered on the outside of the cage, and the red cloth was lifted only after arriving at the hotel, revealing the people detained inside.
Some of these young people were forcibly looted here, such as the elf siblings; many of them were sold by their families because their families could not live on.
Lucy was serving the decoration of the front yard next to Wu Fei, and her face instantly turned pale when she heard the prisoners in the back yard talking about the waiters. She quietly pulled Wu Fei, lowering her voice and instructed: "After you have finished your work tonight, you will find a hidden place to hide. Don't come out until dawn; or just find an opportunity to slip away."
Lucy is also a human waiter. She is a veteran of the Sunset Hotel. She is usually silent and rarely participates in the gossip and discussion of other waiters.
Wu very much packs dinner from Yuan Sanfan and eats it in the restaurant. Sometimes she will share some with Lucy, so her attitude towards Wu Fei is closer than others, and sometimes Wu Fei will help him if he makes mistakes. Cover or mention him a little, so Wu Fei is more willing to bring her food.
"why?"
"... absenteeism is better than losing a life," Lucy said calmly.
"I mean, why should those people be kept in the cage? What is it for?"
"Curious is not a good quality here." Lucy glanced at him deeply, but still explained in a voice that only two people could hear. "It seems that in order to entertain this big man of blood, Governor Dazi prepares Blood feast."
"'Blood feast'? What is that?" Wu Fei asked strangely.
Just now, he received a task issued by the system:
"Trigger special s-level side mission: rescue blood food in the sunset restaurant (052), mission duration: 4 hours, mission reward: after the mission time, according to the amount of blood food rescued."
"...The blood feast is a carnival belonging to the blood clan. Young people who are regarded as "blood food" will be pushed into the banquet hall for the blood clan and the demon clan in the meeting room to enjoy. Killed or killed by blood races."
"You usually see that these nobles are well-dressed and maintain their appearance, but this is not the case after they get excited and play crazy." Lucy pursed her lips here and explained.
"So try to stay away from them when possible."
She had encountered a blood feast when she first entered the sunset hotel. At that time, it was to celebrate that the Demon Alliance finally captured the capital of another great human empire, known as the last hope and fire of the human race, and it has been impossible to attack for a long time. Sunrise city. After that, Sunrise City was renamed Sunset City, and because of its superior geographical location and fortifications, it became the new capital of the Demon Alliance.
At that blood feast, she watched as the excited blood clan drew a waiter, her colleague, and killed him immediately after absorbing a blood meal. However, no one asked for justice for this waiter, no one said he should not die here. She luckily escaped by hiding in an extremely hidden corner, but she has never been able to erase the scene she saw that night from her memory.
After that night, a lot of new waiters were recruited in the hotel. Only three of the original human waiters survived, and the other two resigned immediately. Only she was burdened by the heavy family burden and was not willing to be here more than other places. A generous salary was left.
Later, in order to stabilize the ruling order, the Mozu Alliance no longer held such a blood feast at least on the bright side. I didn't expect that Duke Dachi would hold such a banquet here again today. I don't know how important the identity of the blood and nobility is, so that Dazi did all he could to please the other party.
Wu Fei couldn't help wondering if Shen Xing would look like this when he heard the phrase "They are not excited after they get excited and play crazy."
He had a general understanding of what the banquet was from Lucy's mouth, and thanked the other party. He decided to stay away from the banquet hall tonight and find a chance to slip away. As for the task, on the premise of self-preservation, you can do what you can, but you can’t do it.
After all, life-saving is the most important in the level. He decided to abandon his infernal brother's upgrade plan and joined Yuan Sanfan's organization after leaving here today.
At this moment, another human waiter approached them with a slightly panicked look, and inquired: "Do you know what happened?"
"What's wrong?" Wu Fei asked.
"The doors in the front yard and back yard are locked, and there are demon guards guarding, and now no one can get out except the main door."
They did not specifically control the volume of the speech, and several other waiters next to them also joined in-now the chores are all human or humanoid waiters, and the waiters of the demons and blood races are arranged to welcome and entertain jobs.
One of the waiters, Jack, heard that his face changed suddenly, and there was a little panic in his nervousness.
A tall, body-building orc waitress stared, "I heard that the cage lock of a cage car was pryed open, and four or five blood foods ran away. The restaurant was catching..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped talking. The air instantly became extremely quiet.
The demon director Wu Fei met when he came to work at the Sunset Hotel on the first day was standing not far away with four or five demon guards. At this time, he walked a few steps forward and looked around the crowd, slightly dissatisfied. "Now the banquet hall is short of staff. You don't need to do the work in the yard. Let's wait for the adults."

At this time, the guests who had arrived in the banquet hall also heard the news that the prepared blood food had escaped, and many nobles immediately showed their dissatisfied expression.
The boss of the Mozu who seldom visits the hotel is accompanied by smiley faces everywhere.
He likes to boast of his identity as mysterious and noble, but he actually does not have a noble identity, but he is very good at doing business, has accumulated huge amounts of wealth, and just happened to be able to climb the big tree of Duke Dazi. In fact, none of the guests present dared to offend him.
Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, more than a dozen human and humanoid waiters entered the banquet hall and began to work.
The nobles who had always looked bad also eased the expression on their faces.
Although they are not "blood eaters", they all know that any human or humanoid here here can do whatever they want with each other.
The overall quality is not as good as the carefully selected blood food, but the quantity is better than the escaped blood food, which can be used as a compensation. And sometimes, compared to the blood of a fate, these waiters will have more interesting and more fun reactions when they are caught.
