The old man is gone, but the bell is not gone.

The majestic golden sound resounded thirteen times, and the roots of the ears were quiet again.

Glancing at his phone, Bai Ye was puzzled.

"Why is it only seven o'clock, and the bell rings thirteen?"

Anyway, there is a wall clock in this store?

Looking around, not to mention the wall clock, there is not even a machine that can read the time, so where does this bell come from?

Bai Ye was even more confused, feeling that everything was weird.

A man named Jian Zhou walked out of the kitchen, the old man's departure had been expected by him, but when he saw Bai Ye, he couldn't help but wonder if he was confused.

"You're not gone yet?"

Bai Ye's first reaction was that the boss thought that he had stayed in the store for too long and affected his business, so he immediately replied.

"Well, I haven't finished this egg fried rice yet, I'll leave right away after eating. ”

"Egg fried rice?"

Jian Zhou raised his eyebrows, glanced at the dining table, and only half a bowl of the two bowls of egg fried rice remained, and there was an extra white card engraved with flowers on the dining table, and the corners of his mouth were grinning.

"I see, at this point in time, you shouldn't be outside, right?"

Bai Ye scratched his cheeks, looking inexplicable.

"Doesn't S City let people come out at night?"

The man opened his mouth, as if he understood something.

"You're coming to S City for the first time?"

"Yes, I just arrived today, I don't know the place well, I want to find a place, but I haven't found it for a long time. ”

"When you go to a new place, it's inevitable. ”

The doubts on Jian Zhou's face all disappeared, as if he had thought of something, showed a meaningful smile, and said to Bai Ye.

"When you're done eating, let's leave early, maybe it's still too late. ”

"What's too late?"

Pointing his finger to the sky, the man didn't say anything, and began to wipe his table again.

Scratching his head, Bai Ye didn't care so much, and continued to eat the remaining fried rice.

Jian Zhou glanced at it, and his eyes became more determined.

It didn't take long for Bai Ye to pick up the unfinished Xiaobai and come to the counter to check out.

"Seventeen, isn't it?"

The price is right, Jian Zhou nodded, but Bai Ye could feel that he was paying more attention to himself and Xiao Bai on his shoulders than the money on the counter.

What a strange man.

Thinking like this in his heart, half of Bai Ye's body had already stepped out of the store.

Just as he was about to pull the wooden door shut, the man reminded him.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, it's very dangerous to go to S City after seven o'clock, after all, it's a ghost capital..."

The last words were with a gloating smile, and he deliberately said them at the end.

"What did you say?"

Bai Ye looked back, the shop was still there, but the lights were off, to be precise, the lights of all the surrounding houses were off, only the dim street lights were still flickering.

At this moment, the residential buildings are black and oppressive, like a dormant beast.

He pulled the wooden door hard, but he didn't move at all, and everything in his eyes seemed to be an illusion.

Ordinary people would have been frightened long ago when they encountered this situation, but Bai Ye just smiled.

He muttered, "Ghosts?"

S City, which was originally shrouded in darkness, is now covered with a thin layer of red, and the sky doesn't seem to be so dark.

Walking on the street, looking around in the white night, not to mention people, even a cat and a dog can't be seen, which is really incredible.

"Even if it's not a bustling area, it shouldn't be impossible for anyone to see, right? At that time, I should ask the shopkeeper how to get there. ”

Sighing, he was a little helpless, not to mention that he wanted to find the shopkeeper now, looking back, he couldn't even find the previous store.

Where should the huge S City go?

Xiao Bai on his shoulders was estimated to be full of wine and food, and returned to Bai Ye's body in the blink of an eye.

"Now there's not even a cat to talk to. ”

Shaking his head, he looked at the white card in his hand again, and his mind flashed as he remembered what the old man had said to him.

"Look at the moonlight, maybe it will be different?"

But when I looked up, I couldn't see a single star where there was a moon.

The sky seemed to be obscured by a red curtain, and even the eyes of the white night could not penetrate this red curtain and see the scene outside.

This situation was encountered when he was in L City, and it turned out that he was already in an obstacle, or an enchantment, and had long been isolated from the present world.

"When did you stray?"

Bow your head in contemplation, your eyes lit up.

"Those thirteen bells..."

It was supposed to be a sign that the barrier was open, and the moment he walked out of the store, he had already stepped into this isolated area.

Now that I know the weird reason, I naturally have an idea in my heart.

"If it's an obstacle, it can't be endless, let's walk again, maybe you can get out of this place. ”

Groping in his pocket for a while, he took out a lollipop, unpacked the bag, and Bai Ye smiled, it seems that this thing can't be quit in a short time.

As time passed, the distance under my feet became more and more, and the surrounding residential buildings became high-rise buildings, and the streets and alleys became large roads large enough for several cars to drive together, but even then, it was impossible to see a single person.

He didn't expect to walk such a long distance and still not see the boundary of the barrier, which was completely unexpected for him.

Just when Bai Ye was about to continue walking, looking from a distance, in the center of the crossroads, a figure was faintly visible, his eyes tried to open, but he still couldn't see the figure clearly, and there was an inexplicable shadow around the person's body.

No matter what, after walking for so long to see a person, Bai Ye naturally couldn't let it go easily.

His steps quickened, and he hurried towards the shadow, thinking that he would leave, but the shadow stood motionless in the center of the crossroads.

The closer the distance, the more doubts in my heart become, no more than a street apart, but still unable to see the person's appearance?

"How do I get out of here?"

Since they are in the same enchantment, if this person is not a hindrance, he must be someone who knows, so he thought so, but no one answered.

The human image is still standing in place as if it has not been heard, but when the white night walks in, it seems to smell something in the air.

Click!

With a sound like metal colliding, it turned back.

I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The weirdness of tonight's night is not as strange as the scene that Bai Ye saw at this moment.

It was not human, its black body resembled the shadow of a human, its limbs were like dry tree trunks, and the key was its head, which had no obvious facial features, only a mouth, full of barb-like sharp teeth.

"Looks like I asked the wrong person, I'm sorry. ”

The footsteps slowly moved backwards, Bai Ye thought very clearly, as long as it chased after it, it would immediately turn around and run, this thing looked so infiltrating, it was better not to provoke easily.

Pump!

The idea was good, but it was a pity that it could not catch up with the change, and a loud hiss sounded from its mouth, and at the same moment, in all directions, the same cry seemed to be in response to its shout, and the ears of the white night were buzzing with one after another.

"This sucks now..."

In a certain corner of S City, an old man surnamed Liu was swaying left and right on the street, hearing a hissing and waking up most of the time.

"Heh, which rookie is it, it seems that the requirements for pulling out filth will have to be raised in the future, who is the night watchman tonight?"

The old man squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin, and tried to remember, but finally shook his head.

"Damn, that guy must have given me fake wine, otherwise how could he have only taken a little sip and become dizzy like this, forget it, go back early, the academy is going this way, right?"

The figure of the old man under the street lamp stretched very long, and behind him, there were piles of crushed monster corpses.

White Night could only run non-stop now, and he had no idea that when he kicked the first monster that pounced on him, these ugly-looking things would emerge from all parts of the city like cockroaches.

Street corners, top of buildings, under trucks, branches of trees.

Wherever they can be hidden, they may appear.

They move very quickly and agilely, jumping along the wall on the side of the road, jumping to the top of the street lamp, and following the figure of the white night all the way.

However, the person being chased does not seem to be very nervous.

Bai Ye bit the lollipop in his mouth, and looked back as he ran, originally thinking that those monsters were all the same, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Although most of the ones that appear are the same as the one I first saw, they are humanoids, but there are many monsters whose appearance is obviously demons, and they are very similar to the kind of extremely scary people, and the little ghosts and demons that only appear at night.

But those little ones don't have such a hideous appearance.

"What now?"

Bai Ye scratched his head, there were more and more monsters chasing after him, and it was not a way to go on like this.

Just when he was about to run out of options, directly in front of the run, at the T-junction, two figures stood.

This time, it's 100% human.

"Run, I'm being chased by a bunch of monsters!"

Bai Ye kindly reminded him, but the two didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Is there a student applying for defilement today? Or is it someone from somewhere else?"

The middle-aged man, wearing a white shirt on the top and black trousers on the bottom, opened the document in his hand and began to browse, intending to find the information he wanted to know.

Another man in a white lab coat saw it, held his forehead and sighed.

"Wang He, it doesn't seem like this is the time to talk about this, don't you see that he is being chased by a lot of filth?"

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and it is expressly forbidden for everyone to come to pull out the filth without application or permission, and all the consequences, regardless of death or injury, are borne by themselves. ”

"Don't be so rigid, hey, so I don't want to be in the same class as you. ”

Bai Ye didn't expect at all that the monsters that swept over like a tidal wave didn't scare away the two people not far away, they were just chatting on their own, and one of the men in a white coat stretched out his hand to point at him.

"You can't hurt others because of yourself. ”

Thinking like this, near a corner, he didn't choose to continue straight, but turned right into the alleyway, and the narrow space made the crowded monsters stuck between the stone walls, but more monsters, stepping on their limbs, rushed after them from a higher position.

"It seems that he has led the filth in another direction in order to avoid harming us? Isn't he a student of the Heavenly Council?"

Syllable!

The man in the suit closed the papers, loosened his tie, and said with a blank face.

"It seems that he is at least like a man, some responsibility, Hua Yun, keep the documents for me!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang He had disappeared without a trace.

The man named Hua Yun reached out and grabbed the document that had been thrown into the air and smiled.

"It's really a well-known knife-mouthed tofu heart, but it's the first time I've seen that amount of filth chasing a person at the same time, what kind of secret will that person have?"
