Just as Thor’s eyes were filled with ferocity and the atmosphere in the taxi was getting more and more tense.
A trembling voice came from the front row. “Friends, you’ve reached your destination.”
When Thor heard this, he shifted his gaze outside the window and saw that the taxi was parked at the side of a somewhat desolate-looking street. On both sides of the street were various small storefronts. There was a pancake shop called Deer Horn Lane, there were dollar stores, women’s clothing stores, sand county snacks, small clinics, and even a new burence shoe store.
Behind these small stores was a row of old tube-shaped buildings. The clothes and bedding that were hung in the corridor, as well as the flowers and plants, finally injected some life into this old place.
Thor threw a hundred yuan note to the driver and dragged Seth out of the car under the driver’s surprised gaze.
He grabbed Seth’s neck and directly lifted him up from the ground, “I’m not here to accompany you to discuss the economic revitalization of small cities. Where is my wife? You’d better tell me quickly! Don’t keep me in suspense and play tricks anymore.”
Seth’s face was full of helplessness. He coughed and tried to squeeze out a sentence from his throat, “Didn’t anyone… tell you before… When you want someone to answer your questions… don’t always strangle that person’s neck?”
Thor snorted and finally let go.
Seth returned to the ground, rubbed his neck, and sighed. “Soon, we’ve arrived at the destination of this trip. We’ll see the real person soon.”
Thor’s anger lessened slightly when he heard Seth’s words, but a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and was about to summon his precious hammer over.
But in the next moment, Seth held his hand down, “No, no, no. Don’t always think about using violence to solve problems. Compared to your strength, there’s no danger here. Let’s talk first. It’s not too late to attack if we can’t reach an agreement. After all, Sif is still in his hands.”
Thor saw Seth pounce on him to stop him from summoning the hammer and almost blew up the latter’s head. However, when he heard Sif’s name, he forcefully stopped his fist.
“That’s right. Don’t you want peace? Let’s start from here.”
“Peace is Bullsh * T. When I find Sif, I’ll kill all the people who kidnapped her.”Thor gritted his teeth and enunciated each word.
“I understand why everyone said that you have a bad temper. Compared to you, I’m as gentle as a sentimental jerk.”Seth tidied up his clothes, “Forget it. You can do whatever you want in the future. But before that, you must suppress your anger.”
“I’m not one of those new gods who are not even 100 or 200 years old. I know what to do when,”Thor said in a muffled voice.
“Is this… Today’s cold joke? If it is, I’ll try my best to cooperate with you and laugh a few times.”
As the two talked, they walked toward a tube-shaped building. When they passed by the pancake stall called Deer Horn Alley, Seth suddenly stopped. “I’m hungry. Buy a few pancake mats.”
“I told you not to play any more tricks,”Thor warned.
“I’m not playing any tricks. Please, ever since I was kidnapped by you, I haven’t eaten a single bite of rice on the way here. It’s rare that I pass by a pancake stall, so buying a few pancakes won’t waste your time. If you’re really worried that there’s poison in these pancakes, just watch me eat them,”Seth said.
Hearing this, Thor didn’t stop him in the end. He said to the boss of the pancake stall, “Take four pancakes.”
The boss didn’t say anything. He pointed at the price list on the wall behind him and the QR code on the table. Then he stood up, picked up a plastic bag and put it on his hand. He grabbed four pancakes and handed them to Thor.
Thor stuffed the pancakes into Seth’s arms. Then he opened his wallet and took out a ten-dollar bill. After hesitating for a while, he took out another ten-dollar bill and slammed it on the table. “Give me six more!”
The boss reached out his hand and silently put away the twenty-yuan note on the table. Then, without saying a word, he picked up another plastic bag. However, Thor felt that his actions were too slow, so he directly grabbed six pancakes, he devoured them in a hurry, while Seth also ate three pancakes on the other side.
However, when he ate the fourth one, it was obvious that his swallowing became a little difficult. Since he had already done this, Thor simply bought two bottles of mineral water from the grocery store and gave one to Seth, he finished the other bottle.
Then, the two of them finally followed an old woman who came back from selling vegetables into the apartment building. The building was five stories tall and there was no elevator in it. However, this height was nothing to Thor and Seth, the two of them quickly climbed to the top floor and passed through a corridor filled with clothes and bed sheets. They arrived at the end of the room.
Seth reached out and knocked on the old-fashioned anti-theft door in front of him. However, there was no response from inside. Seeing that Thor was about to call his hammer again, Seth quickly increased the strength of his knocking.
This time, the people inside finally reacted. However, half a minute later, a crack was opened on the door.
A pair of small eyes with a malicious glint behind the door first looked at Thor. They frowned and then looked at Seth. However, they appeared to be a little lost. It was not until Seth untied the thing wrapped around his face that the wolf’s head was revealed, finally, he spoke in an unpleasant voice that sounded like chalk scratching the blackboard, “It’s you. What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to visit my old friends.”
“There’s no one here who is your friend,”the person behind the door said while spitting at Seth’s feet.
Seth smiled and did not argue with the other party. He only said, “I know what you have done. Before it’s too late, I hope you can rein in your horses.”
The person behind the door sneered, “Since you have rejected our invitation, what does what we do have to do with you?”
“I just can’t bear to see you play with fire,”Seth said slowly.
The person behind the door seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Especially when he looked at Thor on the other side, the surprise on his face could not help but become stronger, “Seth, I remember that you were caught by the organizing committee, Right?”
“To be more precise, it was my conscience that made me turn myself in,”Seth said.
“As far as I know, you don’t have a conscience,”the person behind the door said. And when he finished speaking, Thor, who was beside him, could no longer hold it in, “Why aren’t you opening the door? Can’t you go in first and talk about it later?”
And the magic is that the people inside after hearing this sentence, actually so obediently opened the door.
