As the night deepened, the atmosphere at The Der Yi Tavern reached its climax, followed by a scene of chaos and joy. Many townspeople gradually fell into drunkenness amidst the fervent revelry, some leaning on tables to sleep, others collapsing directly onto the floor, snoring loudly. The mayor was no exception, sprawled across a table, heavily intoxicated, mumbling incoherently about the Bolt charity donation project.
Sheriff William finally succumbed to the effects of alcohol, quietly lying on the floor, enjoying the tranquility of drunken dreams. Even the diligent automatic bartender, exhausted from overwork, ceased its operations, leaving only a blinking red light, standing quietly in place, seemingly also enjoying a period of rest.
Agamemnon, as a Half Blood, is hardly affected by alcohol, so he remains sober. He sits in a corner, quietly observing the scenes in the tavern. There is a faint smile in his eyes, seemingly feeling a hint of comfort in this joyful and carefree atmosphere.
At this moment, there are still some sober people in the tavern, helping each other and preparing to leave the tavern unsteadily. Der Yi and his wife De Xin are busy tidying up the scene, clearing tables and chairs, cleaning the floor, and carefully helping some of the drunken people to a safe place. Their actions are full of thoughtfulness and care, showing their deep affection for the town and its people.
In the chaotic atmosphere of the tavern, Agamemnon's gaze fell on the busy couple Der Yi and De Xin. He carefully observed this chubby-cheeked couple and began to form some vague speculations in his mind. Walking over, Agamemnon said firmly and gently, "I can help tidy up, don't be polite." His proposal made the Der Yi couple appear somewhat flustered. Der Yi's cheeks involuntarily trembled with nervousness, making the scene somewhat comical.
Der Yi awkwardly responded, "Oh, Mr. Half Blood, you really don't need to bother, after all, you are our honored guest." But Agamemnon did not pay attention to Der Yi's refusal. He began to help lift the people who had fallen to the ground, carefully placing them in chairs.
Der Yi and Dexin looked at each other, feeling the sincerity and persistence of Agamemnon. They silently continued their work, feeling a hint of gratitude for the help of this Half Blood. With Agamemnon's help, the work at the tavern proceeded more smoothly.
Agamemnon moved quickly and methodically, easily moving the unconscious drinkers to safety while ensuring they were not harmed. His assistance not only lightened the workload for Der Yi and Dexin, but also gave them a new understanding and respect for this stern-looking Half Blood.
With the joint efforts of Agamemnon and Der Yi, the tavern quickly restored order. The drunken mayor and sheriff were placed at a table, quietly sleeping. However, there was still one problem to solve, and that was the overworked automatic beer robot.
Der Yi stood next to the steaming robot, frowning and carefully observing. The robot continued to emit steam, apparently trying to cool down, while its interior also emitted a continuous alarm, indicating some kind of malfunction. Der Yi seemed very frustrated by this situation, and in his urgency, he kicked the robot hard. Instead of solving the problem, the kick only caused the robot to emit even more steam, making the situation seem more serious.
Dexin couldn't help but blame Der Yi when he saw the situation, and the two began to argue with each other. At this time, Agamemnon calmly proposed a solution: "Why don't we move the robot outside the pub, where there is more space and better heat dissipation? It's also more convenient for us to do maintenance outside."
With Agamemnon's suggestion, the Der Yi couple immediately stopped arguing and began to consider how to move the automatic beer robot outside the pub. Der Yi first carefully checked the robot's casing to ensure that no further damage would occur during the transfer. His movements seemed somewhat clumsy, but it was clear that he was acting out of concern for the machine.
Dexin then brought some tools and ropes from the counter, ready to perform emergency repairs when needed. Her movements appeared more skilled and decisive, indicating her rich experience in handling such mechanical devices.
Agamemnon, on the other hand, observed from the side, ready to provide assistance at any time. When they were ready, the three of them began to carefully lift the robot from the ground. The robot's size and weight were not small, but with their combined efforts, they successfully moved it to an open space behind the tavern's back door.
There is enough space on this open ground for the robot to dissipate heat, and it is also convenient for the Der Yi couple to carry out subsequent maintenance work. After placing the robot down, Der Yi immediately began inspecting its internal structure, searching for possible causes of the malfunction. De Xin assisted on the side, handing him the necessary tools and providing technical advice.
Agamemnon stood aside, quietly observing the cooperation of this couple. Although they may argue at other times, they clearly can support and collaborate with each other when facing difficulties. Watching them work diligently, Agamemnon felt a sense of comfort. For the people of this small town, no matter what difficulties they face, they always seem to be able to unite and face them together.
However, Agamemnon suddenly and silently drew a revolver from his waist and lightly pressed the trigger, putting the gun in a ready-to-fire state. Agamemnon's sudden action shocked the Der Yi couple. Der Yi trembled, turned to face Agamemnon, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion. "Agamemnon, what do you mean by this?" his voice trembled, "Are you trying to rob us?"
Meanwhile, De Xin was beside them, helplessly sobbing. Tears glistened in her eyes, and she looked both panicked and innocent. She seemed to completely not understand why Agamemnon would point a gun at them.
Agamemnon had no trace of mercy on his face, his eyes were firm and severe. "Stop pretending, I already know," his voice was cold and resolute, "It's best for everyone if you come clean."
Der Yi and De Xin exchanged a glance, a hint of helplessness and regret in their eyes. Finally, Der Yi sighed, lowered his head, as if struggling internally. After a few seconds, he raised his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Agamemnon, we... we did hide some things from you."
De Xin gently pulled Der Yi's hand, encouraging him to continue. Her tears kept falling, but her eyes looked determined, as if she had already prepared to face everything.
The atmosphere at this moment was extremely tense, and the night sky outside the tavern seemed to freeze. The night breeze brought a hint of coolness, but it couldn't ease the sudden tension. Agamemnon's eyes showed no sign of wavering as he waited for the response from the Der Yi couple, sensing the truth that was about to be revealed.
