Early in the morning when the sun is rising, the suburban road of Luocheng is paved with a layer of asphalt, surrounded by green bushes, this commonly known as Masson pine trees has a strong ability to absorb dust, and can absorb nearly tons of exhaust dust a year, and the road is lined with the sound of tractors dragging bricks, this is located in the north of Luocheng has been built in recent years of giant engineering development area has finally come to an end.

A red eastbound taxi flashed down the road, with only the driver and one passenger on board.

The driver is a middle-aged man, who has reached the age of making money to support his family, and it is not surprising that there are several children at home and a wife who loves to be broken but always cares about him. He was driving the car steadily, while carefully looking at the strange girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

For a man who has been in the car for more than ten years, he thinks he has seen thousands of strange passengers, which can be regarded as reading countless people.

There is a girl who sits in the back seat with a package and red eyes, crying while silently holding her mobile phone to send a message--- this is just a quarrel with her boyfriend.

There are middle-aged couples sitting in the back together, but one of them looks at the window on the side, silent, looking detached---- this should be preparing to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce.

After hurriedly getting on the car, he directly pointed out the location, a young man in a suit and leather shoes, with a bitter smile while talking on the phone---- this should be a salesman who has slept late in the morning.

Regardless of their personality, the driver will be able to roughly guess their itinerary and journey, after all, all their experiences and stories are written on their faces, and they are unabashed.

It's just that today's passenger is a little weird, wearing a pair of black sunglasses and a huge dark green hiking backpack beside him, sitting quietly in the back seat with no expression on his face.

The driver found that he had met a master, and he couldn't figure out the slightest clue, the aura of the woman in front of him was too powerful, just like a boy who had seen her said, there has never been such a young girl in this small northern city, just sitting there and not understanding, the momentum around her is like a knife.

The driver didn't have any evil thoughts, but he also had a taste for appreciating beautiful things, and he was thinking about asking something, after all, this development area is a bit remote, and there are some unemployed vagrants around who are destined to have little interest, and it would be bad if those people didn't have long eyes. As a result, the girl whispered that it was there, and the driver subconsciously pressed the brakes.

The girl got out of the car with a huge hiking backpack, and walked towards the rocks without turning her head, and the driver had no chance to exit, watching the back gradually disappear on the gravel-strewn path, the middle-aged man was inexplicably a little lost, as if he had missed the only opportunity in his life.

There are always boys or girls in the world who simply miss it and never come back.

On a messy street and alley in the development zone, Lin Miaoran walked quietly, she looked at this place with interest, everything around her obviously has no intention of renovating, not far away, the half-collapsed and broken building is still standing on the ground, surrounded by the smell of sand and dust, if you want to build it, it will take a long time.

According to the results of last night's search, there are still several undestroyed old houses in the most marginal area of the Lotus Development Zone, where Carl lived when he was a child, and it is said that his family was still a famous nail household at that time, so there were many conflicts with the engineering team and the developer, that is, because this last place of shelter was also deprived, the poor mother would be disheartened and choose to commit suicide.

Lin Miaoran walked quietly and steadily, and stopped somewhere after ten minutes, in front of which was the slightly inclined old building, and the anti-theft windows on the second floor were full of rust, but Lin Miaoran could feel that there were still traces of human life here, and there were clear palm prints on the windows of the balcony on the second floor that were completely covered with dust, as if they had been held and pushed away, and the low staircase leading to the upper floor on the first floor also had clear footprints, and it was speculated that it had not been too long according to the traces.

In such a deserted and remote place, no one would choose to continue to live here, unless that person was Carl.

Lin Miaoran held a mountaineering bag in her right hand, lowered her head slightly, and climbed the stairs with an expressionless face, looking like a girl who had just returned from a trip.

The corner of the narrow and dirty staircase was littered with garbage and debris, and from time to time a few rats and cockroaches came out of the corner and ran towards another corner, as if welcoming the strange guest.

Lin Miaoran's expression still did not change, and when she came to the second floor, she guessed that it was right, the security door on the left side of the second floor was obviously much newer than the one on the right.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

Without the slightest hesitation and waiting, Lin Miaoran kicked the security door, and a powerful force burst out from Lin Miaoran's slender calf, and instantly transmitted to the door, and a large pit was recessed in the center of the old and abandoned security door, and the cracks spread in all directions like spider webs, and finally crackled, and fell heavily on the floor of the house, falling apart.

This is Lin Miaoran's way of performing tasks, simple and rude, she had to take care of passers-by when she was in the city center before, so she would be a little timid, but when she arrived at this remote development zone, Lin Miaoran felt that she was finally much more relaxed, there was no care here, and she only needed to destroy anything she encountered.

This Lotus Development Zone is simply a natural battlefield.

It's just that the next moment, there is no ghost in it, and Carl is not inside, quietly, only a wind chime of a hanger at the door received a vibration and rang slightly.

This house is very narrow, one bedroom and one living room, the kitchen and toilet are next to each other, you can see everything at a glance, Lin Miaoran walked to a cheap wooden bed inside, and his eyes focused on a photo placed on the bed.

The photo is very old, showing a young girl with a pale face holding a child who has just completed a full moon, and the sun is shining on them, and her eyes are full of smiles.

The girl was Carl's dead mother, and the child was naturally Carl. Yes, he is indeed here, and has lived here since he came to the fallen city. But that monster is not there now, and there is no breath of him around, so Lin Miaoran looked at the photo and was silent for a long time, and suddenly she was interrupted by a ringtone, and she picked up her phone.

"The video before and after the explosion in the Luban community at one o'clock in the afternoon on June 28 has been extracted from Skynet. Chris's voice came from the phone, looking rather solemn, "These things have become a little complicated because ........"

Lin Miaoran knew that this was the last time he was entrusted to investigate, and listened quietly for a while, her eyes shrunk sharply, full of disbelief.

The next moment, she turned around without hesitation and left the building directly.

.........

Lu Xiaodao was woken up by a ray of sunlight, and when he opened his eyes, the sun in the sky was almost above his head, and that scorching breath filled Lu Xiaodao's whole body.

"Are you asleep?" Lu Xiaodao rubbed his messy hair, he often fell asleep here when he was a child, and only came home the next day, but when he grew up, this kind of thing was much less.

After a moment he was stunned, for there was a figure sitting not far from him, with a wide back facing him, apparently having been sitting for a long time.

Lu Xiaodao was no longer surprised, and said, "Uncle Ghost, why did you come out again...."

The middle-aged uncle always turned his back to him and looked into the distance, "Man, there are always a few days a month when I am uncomfortable, so I naturally want to talk to someone." ”

"I didn't expect a guy like you to come to my aunt, I thought this was something that only puberty was young. "Lu Xiaodao is occasionally bored on weekdays, and he will go to the post bar or something, and he can always find a point of complaint about this kind of similar Internet jokes.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, just looked quietly into the distance.

Lu Xiaodao suddenly felt that this guy was a little strange, his voice was a little dull, obviously not very interested, and he didn't say anything nonsense.

Lu Xiaodao stretched his neck and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter, are you going to hang up?"

"Have you heard a story?"

The middle-aged man supported the ground with his hands, leaned back, and said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a young man who had nothing on land, no lover, no money, no status, just the most ordinary one among all civilians, and finally one day he didn't want to do this anymore, and then he went to sea." “

Uncle Ghost's voice was more leisurely, "His dream came true, he went to an island, that island has countless treasures, and countless beautiful girls, he finally married the queen of the girls, everything is very happy, everything is very happy, the queen told him, as long as you don't open the mysterious door in the depths of the cave, we can live happily ever after.... And guess what?"

Lu Xiaodao said categorically: "It must be opened, the routine of the story is like this, if you don't say how people are cheap, I bet that if the queen doesn't say that the door inside can't be opened, that guy won't bother to take a look at it for the rest of his life." ”

"Yes, he opened that door, and then all that he had was gone, a beautiful wife, countless treasures, and he became a poor man again, and died depressed for the rest of his life. Uncle Ghost obviously didn't have any expression, but he gave people an expression like he was sneering.

Lu Xiaodao scratched his head, he didn't understand why the uncle told such a story, he Lu Xiaodao was the most content, if there was such a beautiful thing, he would never itch his hands for the rest of his life.

There was no moral to it, but it came to me suddenly, because like the current story, the ending was a complete tragedy, and by the time he realized it again, there was no room for complete redemption. The middle-aged man said softly.

"What's going on now?" Lu Xiaodao looked at Uncle Ghost's eyes for some reason, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on, like a headless fly,

"The anti-spirit guys have found the data footage from the satellite, do you want to see it?"

Uncle Ghost didn't give Lu Xiaodao time to answer, and with a slight stroke of his finger, a three-dimensional two-dimensional image appeared in the air in front of the two of them, emitting a faint blue light.

Lu Xiaodao stared at the scene inside, he was really familiar with the place inside, it was the community he rented, and he could even clearly see the glass windows of his house from above.

Just a moment later, a violent wave of flame gas poured out of his room, and the powerful impact force shattered the glass window in an instant, and the entire burning body of Lu Xiaodao was directly blown out by the shock wave, and then fell directly to the cement clearing in front of the community. Then the flames swept through the entire corridor on the second floor, swallowing up the family of three who had just gone upstairs, and the last frightened look of the little girl on the video was still faintly visible.

Everything was just a matter of moments, and when the flames were burning, Lu Xiaodao clenched his hands and subconsciously lowered his head slightly.

Uncle Ghost said calmly: "Look up, the main event is behind." ”

Lu Xiaodao raised his head in confusion, and he noticed that something was wrong, because next to his already fainted body was a strange half-spiral-shaped stone hanging out of thin air, and a powerful arc of electricity was emitted around his body.

"Wind Thunder Spirit Stone!" Lu Xiaodao blurted out, although he hadn't seen it, but he instinctively felt that this was it.

"It's the Thunder Spirit Stone. ”

Uncle Ghost explained: "The wind spirit and the thunder spirit are two pieces, and together they are the real wind and thunder treasure. ”

Lu Xiaodao wanted to ask something more, but his eyes were shocked by the next scene.

A black figure arrived here in the sea of fire, he walked to Lu Xiaodao's side and squatted down to take a look, and then he picked up the strange stone next to Lu Xiaodao, hesitated for a moment and left the place, as if he was calling 120 when he left.

Lu Xiaodao opened his mouth slightly, and sat on the ground again, with a cliff behind him, but Lu Xiaodao didn't care at all.

"Why, why is this!" Lu Xiaodao yelled in confusion, "How could that person be Tan Hao!"
