Chapter 18 The unusual Carrie
The basement of the Mulgore Inn holds magical powers.
Here, time is stretched a thousand times, ten thousand times. A torch would not burn for more than two hours outside, but it would burn for many years here.
Kaus once wanted to test the speed of time here, but clocks and mobile phones would stop when brought into the basement. The distorted time and space made any conventional time tools meaningless. Even the "electricity" that is closest to the speed of light completely fails here.
So his plan to install an electric light here fell through.
So he locked the entrance to the basement and placed a few gasoline torches on the shelf next to it, and used the torches for lighting every time he went down.
Apart from the time distortion, there are only mountains of books and messy clutter in the basement. Kaus is not worried about what problems Carrie will find - she can't read Azeroth text anyway.
As soon as she entered the basement, Jia Li, who had been looking around, suddenly started shouting.
"Wow, it's really long here!"
"Long?" Kausu was a little surprised, "What's long? Where is it long?"
"I'm referring to this section of the road, which is a full eight hundred thousand feet...and even longer...Cauius, you are such an amazing person! I love it here, it reminds me of the endless deep space!"
Kausi looked back at Carrie and sighed helplessly.
If she was talking about this staircase that was about three meters long, it didn't look like it was 800,000 feet long. The ratio of one to eighty thousand is too exaggerated.
Also, what kind of brain circuit does she have that associates the dark basement with the endless deep space? The two probably have nothing similar in common except being black.
"As long as you like it! But don't touch the things here, even if they look like just a pile of junk!"
"Okay, okay! I swear! Do you know? I have wanted to come here for a long time, since the first day..." Carrie was as happy as a little bird, and passed Kausi in a few steps. He jumped down the stairs and leaned in front of the bookcase, looking at each one on the bookshelf as if he were admiring the collection in a museum.
"The first day?" Kausu didn't think much and just asked casually, "Did you discover this basement on your first day of work? Then why didn't you come in and take a look yourself?"
"Hmm, without the guidance of the master, if you enter rashly, you will get lost in the cracks - including me!"
The more I talk about it, the weirder it gets.
Kausu vaguely felt that something was wrong with Carrie's current state. He stood on the basement floor holding a torch and stared at Carrie thoughtfully.
But she didn't care about it and just looked at it layer by layer.
"A strange and mysterious atmosphere..."
"This is order, rules, destiny - and delicious food!" She suddenly saw a group of mammoth meat thrown by Kaus in the corner, and hurriedly swooped over, looking at Kaus with her big eyes flickering. , “Are we going to eat this later?”
It seemed that he had finally returned to normal, and Cauus felt relieved a little.
"Okay, I'm just too worried. I'm just a little girl with a head full of fantastic ideas."
He nodded, "Of course, we'll eat this later - you have to make sure you can finish it!"
"Of course, I can finish it no matter how much it is!"
The two of them walked out of the entrance carrying a large piece of raw meat with bloodshot eyes, talking and laughing. Kausu put the torch back on the shelf, paused for a moment, and then took Carrie back to the hall, where he saw Daredevil's leaving figure.
"Why is he gone?"
"Nothing!" Erica squinted her eyes and smiled, "We just suddenly figured out something."
"uh-huh?"
"only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot."
"Just understand!" Kausi sat down and said with a smile, "Carrie wants to eat this stuff, I hope our stomachs can still hold it!"
Erica's beautiful eyes curled up with a smile, and she took the initiative to take the large piece of mammoth meat, "I'll roast it, and Carrie can eat as much as she wants - well, you are allowed to go to work two hours later tomorrow, after all, digestion is so difficult Lots of food takes enough time!”
"Two hours? You can sleep until noon!"
Kaus missed the days when he could sleep until he woke up naturally, but since Carrie came, the diligent little beauty started mopping and cleaning the house very early every day, and the noise made him unable to sleep.
But his plan obviously failed. Carrie, who had eaten until three o'clock in the morning last night and had eaten at least two-thirds of the barbecue, started working before eight o'clock the next morning, and the tables, chairs and benches made a noise.
"I swear, when SHIELD's next teaching fee comes in, all rooms must be replaced with soundproof walls!" Kausi thought angrily as he yawned and got up to wash up.
He walked down slowly with heavy steps and greeted the energetic Carrie, "Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Jiali, who was full of youthful vitality, continued her work without raising her head.
Cauvus looked around sleepily and asked, "Is Erica awake yet?"
"Erica went out early in the morning!"
"Oh!" Kausi didn't take it seriously. At least so far, Erica is still Kingpin's nominal killer subordinate. No one in Hell's Kitchen dares to provoke Kingpin, the underworld emperor.
But Carrie's next words made Kaus face change.
"She said she would come back after finishing the last thing and never leave again..."
Cauius roughly remembers that because King was annoyed by Daredevil, he ordered Elektra to assassinate Daredevil and his colleague Fergie Nelson. Elektra was also killed by King during this battle. And the number one hired thug "Bullseye" Lester Jangles made a sneak attack and was eventually seriously injured and died.
Erica will not assassinate Daredevil, and now she does not know Bullseye, so the "last thing" she said is most likely to end things with Kingpin...
"Idiot! They say women with big breasts have no brains. Why does a flat-chested lady like Erica have no brains?" Kausu walked up and down the hall angrily, "Is Kingpin so easy to deal with? She thinks she has no brains?" Is she more powerful than Daredevil and the Punisher combined? Just her little three-legged cat skills..."
Carrie raised her head and looked at Kausu curiously with her lavender eyes.
"You're going to help her, right?"
"Why should I help her?" Kausi curled his lips, "I didn't sign a contract with her. She has to leave the hotel by herself. Even if something happens, it can't be considered a work-related injury."
"Besides, she is Matt's ex-girlfriend. Matt doesn't even worry about it. It's none of my business..."
Kausi waved his hand angrily and let out a long yawn lazily, tears almost squeezing out from the slits of his eyes.
"I have to go get some more sleep. Carrie, close the door, or people will think we're open for business."
Carrie watched as this lazy, stingy, and shameless boss stretched himself to the stairs, then suddenly turned around and walked into the cubicle next to him.
A bright smile bloomed on Carrie's little face, and she suddenly felt very happy.
"...Ha, you are a duplicitous Earthling!"
