Chapter 36: The Little Demon Enters the City
As soon as the train came to a stop, the carriages crowded out, and passengers, merchants, and other passengers quickly dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, only the migrant workers with their luggage remained on the platform, and they stayed here because they were surprised by the prosperity of the metropolis revealed by the corner of the station, and the other reason was that these migrant workers were usually the first to visit the metropolis, and many of them were introduced by the villagers who had been here for a while, and they obviously came to greet them.
Groups of people with accents from all over the world gradually left the station, and as soon as they reached the street, they quickly blended into the crowd and were out of sight.
This is the case with this city, which "devours" the labor and wisdom of migrant workers every day, making them their own nourishment, and making the city bigger and bigger. Then attract more outsiders and then grow yourself...... It's like a snowball effect.
"When you get here, you always feel like the city is like a giant youkai...... "A man standing at the station waiting, muttered to himself.
He put his hand on the canopy, squinted his eyes slightly, looked up at the skyscrapers, and couldn't help but sigh: "It can eat a lot of things in one bite." ”
The man who spoke was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years of age, of medium stature and ordinary appearance, wearing a suit that did not fit his status and was not of the right size, but he was wearing a pair of cloth shoes on his feet and carrying an oversized backpack that seemed to be used for mountaineering.
He muttered a few words and continued to look around curiously. At this time, the crowd on the platform had slowly dispersed, and soon he would be the only one left.
"Why didn't my uncle come and pick me up?" he finally began to feel uneasy, "I remember he gave me this, saying that I could use this to contact him......"
He rummaged through his large backpack for a long time and finally found a mobile phone.
"Yes, that's it, how do you use it?" he frowned, he made a few strokes in the void with his right hand, and shouted at the phone with one finger, "Xian!"
I only heard a "bang!", and the mobile phone in his hand suddenly exploded into several pieces.
"Isn't that even if you get in touch with your uncle?" he scratched his head, staring blankly at the fragment of the phone in his hand, and thought to himself.
"See? His phone seems to have exploded!"
The people on the platform began to talk and looked at him strangely.
"His phone ......"
"I just heard a 'bang' on his phone......"
"Exploding ......"
People started pointing at him, and he stood there a little frustrated, grabbed his luggage and ran out of the station.
In front of him was a busy street, an elevated highway several stories high, and he looked around, not knowing where to go.
"Didi ......"
Suddenly, the car horn next to him sounded, and he inadvertently walked into the middle of the road. He was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, because he caused the traffic jam to speed past him, and several drivers opened the windows, cursed at him, and even spat at him!
"Alas...... "Is the metropolis such a difficult place to move an inch?" He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and he wanted to come out to see the world, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get out of the station.
An orange Elantra taxi pulled up in front of him and stopped, and the driver opened the door: "Please get in." ”
"Is this what the book calls a 'taxi'?"
He looked at the car carefully, making sure that it wouldn't start out of the blue, and then he lowered his head and sat down in the car.
"Where is the gentleman?"
"I, I'm going to ......," he remembered that his uncle had given him an address, and nervously fumbled in his bag to find it.
"Well, this, No. 95 Dongning Road," he said, looking up at the driver, "I'm sorry for you." ”
He glanced at the driver, and suddenly jumped out of his seat in fright, only to hear a "bang" and his head hit the roof of the car. The pain was so painful that his eyes were full of stars, tears almost flowed out, he covered his head, and even forgot to cry out for pain.
"You...... You too!" He stammered as he pointed at the driver.
The driver didn't seem to understand why he was so surprised, and nodded slightly to him: "My name is Jin Ying, you just arrived here today, right?"
"I'm Lu, Lu Shu, my name is Xiao Liuzi, and I just arrived today...... I have an uncle who lives in this city, and he said he would come...... came to pick me up, but didn't come, so I ...... I'm just ......"
He suddenly understood that it was a shame for him to make such a fuss, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, didn't his uncle tell him a long time ago, the city he came to has a population of more than seven million, and there are probably thousands of monsters living there, compared to humans, it is not unusual to meet one or two, so it should be polite to greet the same kind as in his hometown.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed to Jin Hotaru from his seat.
"A deer?" suddenly poked a head out of the driver's pocket, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of monster." ”
Xiao Liuzi looked at the voice of the voice, and saw a Suzaku standing on the driver's shoulder.
"I don't know what your original form looks like, but I've heard that your fur can make humans have many children, is that true?" It didn't seem to have slept enough, and was rubbing its eyes with its wings, staring at Jiulu curiously, constantly looking him up and down.
"Ah...... Suzaku ......" suddenly saw a Suzaku appear in the car, its fiery red eyes were staring at him, as if to peel off his skin, Xiao Liuzi shrank into the corner of the seat, screaming in horror and making a trembling sound.
Jin Hotaru smiled and said to Suzaku, "Yan'er, they won't be stupid enough to be skinned in order to let others have more children. ”
Having said that, Yan'er lost interest in Xiao Liuzi, and stood on Jin Hotaru's shoulder and continued to take a nap: "That means, they can really make humans have more children? ”
"Should...... It should be, Suzaku!As if my uncle mentioned it!" Rokuko breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding, and he couldn't recover from the shock of seeing Suzaku.
There is actually a Vermilion Bird here! How can this driver named Jin Hotaru control the elven beast? Is he an immortal who travels the world? Xiao Liuzi fumbled in his large backpack for a while and found a notepad.
His uncle had written for him about the things he should pay attention to when living in the city, and he opened it and saw that the first item on it, especially in red ink, reads: If you need to take a taxi, remember not to take a XXX59420 orange Elantra taxi, which is driven by a powerful man's golden moss, followed by a suzaku who loves to eat monsters, and once you get into the car, even the bones are eaten.
Even if he couldn't remember the license plate number, but this orange Elantra taxi, this cranberry moss turned as a driver, and the Suzaku were all there, and he was so unlucky?
"Oh, that's slander!"
When Xiao Liuzi raised his head when he heard the sound, he found that Yan'er had stood behind his chair at some point.
It craned its neck to look at the notepad in his hand, and said angrily, "I'm not that greedy, I don't eat bones when I eat youkai!"
Xiao Liuzi was almost stunned, the car that my uncle wrote was correct, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, I'm afraid I'll never see you again.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Jin Hotaru turned to look at him.
"Ah, I'm going to be eaten by them, help!" Xiao Liuzi closed his eyes in despair.
"It's here, the fare is twenty-two yuan, thank you. ”
"To ...... It's here?" Xiao Liuzi repeated Jin Hotaru's words in disbelief, opened the car door, and rushed out in fright.
"Hey, stop!" Yan'er snorted coldly and flew out of the car with him.
It rushed to Xiao Liuzi and stared at him viciously: "You actually dare to run away without giving money, do you know what happens to you in the 'Overlord Car'? Do you want to know how I clean them up?"
