After Zhou Bai finished his lunch, he chatted with the restaurant owner about the dishes for Christmas Eve dinner.
It was only at 2 o'clock in the afternoon that he paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.
Now that the record is in hand, all that's left is the candles and candies.
So, Zhou Bai walked towards the candle shop.
The previous few experiments had not been successful, so he had to try again to see if there was any information he had missed.
Zhou Bai came to the candle shop.
The store owner naturally recognizes Zhou Bai, a big customer.
As soon as they met, they greeted him warmly.
Zhou Bai asked him again to introduce all the items sold in the store.
However, when Zhou Bai looked through everything in the store, he still didn't see anything useful.
Zhou Bai also asked the candle shop owner for advice on how to prevent candles from extinguishing outdoors.
The boss explained enthusiastically, but what he said was not the information Zhou Bai wanted to know.
In the end, Zhou Bai could only buy another candle, the largest and thickest, and then walked out of the store.
The owner of the candle shop introduced him for a long time, but he only received one copper coin from Zhou Bai.
I could only watch his leaving figure with a resentful expression on his face.
Zhou Bai held a candle in one hand and a record in the other, walking down the streets of the quiet town with some dejection.
In the candle shop, Zhou Bai didn't get the information he wanted.
There is only one day left to prepare tomorrow.
Could it be that on the night of the 24th, Zhou Bai could only look at the candle outdoors?
Zhou Bai couldn't help but shrink his neck when he thought that he might need to blow in the cold wind all night.
In the winter afternoon, although the sun shines on the road, it is still very cold.
Zhou Bai chose a sunny place so that he could feel a little warmth.
At this moment, he saw a passerby coming towards him, and he happened to be holding a cake in his hand.
Zhou Bai didn't think much about it at first, he just glanced at the cake and then looked away.
However, when he took a dozen more steps forward, he suddenly stopped.
An idea flashed through his mind.
As a result, the expression on his face slowly changed from shock to excitement.
Candles are not only available in candle shops.
When you buy a birthday cake, candles will also be provided for you!
Gotta find Austin!
Therefore, Zhou Bai quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the bakery.
As Zhou Bai walked faster, his mind was racing rapidly.
During the previous experiment, the candle obviously did not go out naturally.
The extinguishing of the candle is related to "it".
Then, what Zhou Bai needs to find is a candle that even "it" cannot blow out.
Therefore, what Zhou Bai may be looking for is not an ordinary candle at all.
Remember the candle in the Tavern of Horrors that never goes out?
Perhaps what Zhou Bai is looking for is such a candle!
Not long after, Zhou Bai saw the bakery shop appearing in his field of vision.
At this time, Austin was placing bread.
Through the glass display window of the bakery, his every move fell right into Zhou Bai's eyes.
He still wore gloves on his hands.
Zhou Bai stared at the gloves on his hands, but in his mind, he recalled the first rule of the Whitebeard organization in the copy of "Cycling Train".
【No matter how different you are, we can accept you.】
In other words, they can accept it regardless of whether it is mutated or not.
Therefore, even if Austin has a mutation in his hand, it is very likely that he is a member of the Whitebeard organization.
Zhou Bai stood in front of the door of the baking room and opened the door of the shop.
Austin was still holding the bread in his hand. When he heard the sudden noise, he looked at the door in surprise.
Zhou Bai took a deep breath, and then asked him directly.
"Austin, are you from the Whitebeard organization?"
Zhou Bai stared at Austin and reached into his pocket.
In the next second, he will take out the Whitebeard badge.
At this time, I saw Austin placing the bread heavily on the shelf.
Then he said angrily, "You are the one with white beard, and your whole family is white beard."
Zhou Bai looked at Austin blankly.
What? Wrong guess?
Austin walked to the front of the counter and angrily took off his gloves.
At this time, Zhou Bai saw that these were obviously a pair of normal hands.
He has not mutated.
He doesn't like people with white beards.
He usually supervises Kevin across from him.
Then, his identity should be that of the Blackbeard organization.
In this case, they shouldn't be considered enemies.
Zhou Bai thought of this and walked in front of Austin.
Austin took a tissue, wiped his hands meticulously, and then put his gloves back on.
Before his anger subsided, he saw Zhou Bai staring at his hands and said angrily.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen such beautiful hands?"
Zhou Bai didn't argue with him, but withdrew his gaze and spoke directly to him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Austin from the Blackbeard Organization."
Only then did Austin stop what he was doing.
He changed his serious expression and looked at Zhou Bai.
"You have a good vision.
Tell me, come here today, what's going on?"
Zhou Bai didn't know if Austin would really have the candle he wanted.
But I can only try to ask.
"I'm looking for a candle that won't be blown out.
Do you have any here?"
Austin looked at Zhou Bai seriously. After a while, he took out a candle from the drawer and photographed it in front of Zhou Bai.
"Of course.
And our candles are much better than Whitebeard’s.”
Zhou Bai looked at the candle in front of him.
I saw that the candle was very thin and short.
Just looking at the appearance, it is almost exactly the same as the candle Zhou Bai bought that went out in 15 minutes.
So he doubtfully picked up the candle on the table and asked.
"Are you sure it won't go out?"
When Austin heard this, he stretched out his hand to grab the candle in Zhou Bai's hand.
"If you're in doubt, just give me the candle back."
Zhou Bai quickly dodged his snatch.
"No doubt, no doubt.
Tell me, how much does this cost?"
Originally, Zhou Bai was already prepared to be brutally slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, Austin waved his hand to him.
"Forget it, just take it.
Birthday candles are always gifts.
Besides, I also want to live."
Zhou Bai looked at him.
It turns out that he also knew that there would be danger on the night of the 24th.
Austin shrugged at Zhou Bai, pretending not to care.
Zhou Bai suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavier.
He silently held the candle in his hand.
"Thank you. I hope we can see the sunshine together on the 25th."
After saying that, he didn't look at Austin's expression.
Instead, he took the candle, opened the store door, and walked out directly.
