Chapter 397: Tattoo Parlor
After coming out of Zhai's house, Mingchuan changed the route to a driving school and made an appointment with the instructor to officially get on the bus to practice subject 2 from Monday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I came out of the driving school, the sun was already setting in the west, and the heat after the beginning of autumn gradually faded.
Ming Chuan wanted to go home directly, but suddenly remembered something and turned around halfway.
When I came to the driving school before, I once met a strong man at the driving school. There was nothing wrong with the man himself, nothing strange except for some verbosity. But the strong man had a strange grimace tattoo on his arm.
According to what Yinglan said before, the tattoo is painted with the head of the "Ghost King".
The so-called "Ghost King" is a shrine popular in the ghost world, or to be more precise, a legend that once existed in the ghost world. It is not a common god statue or Buddha statue, and it is impossible for humans in the world to know the appearance of this "god" that only exists in the ghost world.
Ming Chuan was a little puzzled by this.
Why would an ordinary simple strong man tattoo such a pattern on his arm? Since there is nothing wrong with the strong man himself, then the problem is probably the tattoo artist who painted him with this image.
At that time, out of curiosity, he inquired about the location of the tattoo artist's shop, but was delayed because of some other things. Then a series of events happened, and he put it behind him.
Stepping into the door of the driving school again today, Mingchuan suddenly remembered this incident.
After so many incidents, at this time, Ming Chuan was no longer just curious about this tattoo as he was at the beginning, he always felt that there was something strange in this S city, and he had a faint premonition in his heart that there might be something related to these strange things.
The ghosts in the underground caves of the old city should have been drilled out of the ghost world through the crack in the Meili River, and this is probably not wrong. But there are some doubts about how it managed to get from the Meili River to the cave. The purpose of Kaguya Mage and his accomplices is also unclear.
In addition, the most critical point, which is also a problem that Mingchuan has been ignoring before, is the cause of the crack in the Meili River that connects the ghost world.
Spatial cracks are not common, and even if they appear occasionally, they are only connected to the unstable crack space, and it is unheard of to have a crack directly connected to the ghost world like this.
Ming Chuan had always regarded this as an accidental phenomenon and did not delve into its causes. But now, after learning that Kaguya Mage and his accomplices had raised such a monster in the underground caverns of the old city, he always felt that there might be something else going on in this.
In a city with spatial cracks, the pattern of the "ghost king" appears, is it just accidental?
Ming Chuan didn't believe that there would be so many accidents in this world.
Looking at the time, it was still early and it was still bright, so he turned around and walked in the direction of the tattoo parlor.
According to the description of the strong man of the previous driving school, the tattoo shop is located in the south of the city, not far from the driving school.
In the city of S and the old town in the west of the city, there is a pedestrian street in the south of the city.
Unlike the antique pedestrian street where the antique shop in Dahua is located, the pedestrian street in the south of the city is a real commercial street, and the shops are crowded and bustling. Because most of the shops here are ordinary specialty stores, women's clothing stores and grocery vendors, the consumption level is not high, and it is more common than the high-end shopping malls in the city center, and it is the favorite street for young women and students of the general working class.
At the same time, it is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed.
The architecture of this street is also very distinctive, with small three-storey buildings connected in several rows, dividing a huge area into several pieces, and the shops on each floor are independent of each other, and it is easy for people to walk through them, and it is easy to turn dizzy and lose sight of the east, west, north and south. Students who have free time will not get bored of a day here.
Ming Chuan walked directly to the second floor, turned a few corners in the slightly narrow corridor, passed several nail salons, beauty salons and some inexplicable shops along the way, walked to the door of a shop, and stood still.
The iron door of the shop in front of me was closed, and it didn't look like it was still open. The iron gate is painted with strange graffiti, which is very street art style. On the plaque directly above the iron gate, the word "Wenyi" is written in a fancy artistic font, and the font is so distorted that if you don't make it carefully decipher, you can't tell that these two are Chinese characters.
Ming Chuan looked at the appearance of this shop with drooping eyelids, and wondered in his heart, will this kind of tattoo parlor with unique taste really have customers to patronize? Looking at the closed door, it can't be that it has already closed.
But since you're here, let's knock on the door and see if there's anyone inside.
Ming Chuan raised his right hand while thinking, and before his fist knocked on the door, the iron door was pulled open from the inside with a "creak".
A young woman emerged from the crack in the door, and she was also stunned when she saw Ming Chuan, who was about to knock on the door with her hand raised.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with beautiful features, a pair of large eyes, but she was dressed too unusually, with five or six piercings in her right ear, a row of studs that looked like nails like the table legs in Mingchuan, her hair bleached a pale pink, and she wore shiny eyeshadow and dark eyeliner.
She wore a voluminous black T-shirt with skulls and roses on it, a pair of denim shorts with holes all over her pants, and tattoos with thorns on her bare ankles. The tone of the speech is not very friendly, and it sounds a little rushed.
Ming Chuan withdrew his raised right hand, glanced through the crack in the door, then turned his gaze to the woman's face, and asked, "Aren't you a tattoo parlor here?"
"yes, that's right. After the woman subconsciously answered, she was slightly stunned before she reacted and said, "You're here to get a tattoo?"
"I want to come and see. Ming Chuan said ambiguously.
Female tattoo artists don't seem to care about this answer, and many customers just want to understand the process of tattooing when they visit for the first time, and they don't make up their minds to draw a permanent mark on their body in the first place. Some customers will come back several times before they really decide what kind of pattern to tattoo and what part of the body to tattoo.
After identifying Mingchuan as a customer, the female tattoo artist immediately changed her friendly smile, turned sideways and moved out of the way, and said, "Welcome, please inside." ”
Ming Chuan had no intention of explaining more, so he let the other party misunderstand, and walked into the store with his feet raised. (To be continued.) )
