014. I had a date with Midnight
Sang Apple sat in the car all the way, I don't know how long time passed, the car finally stopped, and the sky outside was still dark, not half bright.
There was no one in the car to speak, and it was as quiet as a cemetery in the middle of the night......
"Get out of the car. Qiao Ziqian reached out and gently pushed the tense mulberry apple.
Sang Apple mechanically followed Qiao Ziqian out of the car, looking at the silent bus that gradually drove into the dense fog in the distance, Sang Apple's taut strings loosened suddenly, she let go of the hand holding the corner of Qiao Ziqian's clothes, and exhaled: "Whew...... It's finally down, and there's no one up there! except me!"
Qiao Ziqian smiled, didn't say anything, and walked forward.
Sang Apple walked behind him.
"Master Qiao, it's been a long time. β
A greeting voice appeared in Sang Apple's ears, and she looked left and right suspiciously, but she didn't see anyone.
"Hmm. Qiao Ziqian bowed his head towards the air, and a slight nasal voice made Sang Apple's relaxed nerves tense again.
"That doesn't bother Master Joe. β
The voice reappeared, and then Sang Apple felt a cool breeze blow, and she was struck by the void.
"Meow!" Sang Apple hugged Qiao Ziqian's waist, his face pressed against the back of Qiao Ziqian's suit, and his eyes were tightly closed.
"Ah, this beautiful young lady, I'm so sorry. β
The voice politely apologized and then didn't reappear.
After a long while, Sang Apple still hugged Qiao Ziqian and didn't let go, Qiao Ziqian gently pushed Sang Apple's hand without pushing.
Qiao Ziqian could only say helplessly: "Let go." β
"No, I won't let it go! It's terrible, Qiao Ziqian, what kind of grudge do we have! You're going to bring me to this hellish place!" shouted Sang Apple with his eyes closed.
Qiao Ziqian helplessly dragged the oil bottle behind him forward, and said as he walked: "Don't shout too loudly, be careful of being heard." β
Properly threaten and intimidate!
Sang Apple wanted to cry without tears, didn't dare to open her eyes, kept grabbing Qiao Ziqian's waist and walked forward, she went wherever Qiao Ziqian went.
ββ¦β¦ You stepped on me. Qiao Ziqian looked at the dust on the heels of his eyelids and said quietly.
It's an eyesore to watch.
"I don't care! I won't let go!" Sang Apple, who didn't dare to open his eyes, decisively rejected Qiao Ziqian's thoughts.
"If you step on me again, I'll leave you here. The ancestor of the cleanliness fetish said disgustedly.
Sang Apple felt the crisis, so he asked pitifully, "Then what should I do? I dare not look at it!"
Who knows when something strange will appear again, and it's really scary to refresh the world view again and again, okay!
Qiao Ziqian sighed, took a step back, and said, "Then you hold my hand, this will always work, right?"
Sang Apple thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he slowly groped and let go of Qiao Ziqian's waist, as soon as Qiao Ziqian was liberated, he immediately reached out and straightened out his strangled suit with Zou Baba, Sang Apple closed his eyes and looked for Qiao Ziqian's hand, but he didn't catch it for a while, and the fear in his heart rose.
It's not going to be sold!
"Where's the hand?!" Sang Apple's voice trembled a little.
Seeing the mulberry apple waving in mid-air, waving farther and farther, Qiao Ziqian frowned slightly, looking a little helpless.
He reached over and took her small, wildly waving hand.
Qiao Ziqian looked at his hand touching the hand of the mulberry apple, and frowned slightly, should he take a handkerchief and put it on his hand just now?
Sang Apple, who grabbed his hand, was slightly relieved, but he didn't hear Qiao Ziqian's voice for a while, and Sang Apple's heart tightened, feeling that things were not simple!
This cold hand, shouldn't it be Qiao Ziqian's, right?!
"Joe, Qiao Ziqian?"
Sang Apple shouted tentatively.
"I'm here. Qiao Ziqian, who came back to his senses, replied, and then led the mulberry apple to the depths of the thick fog.
"Scared the hell out of me, I thought I pulled it wrong. Sang Apple breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qiao Ziqian step by step.
After walking for about ten minutes, they came to a market with lights on.
It looks no different from an ordinary town, it's very lively, but there are ghosts everywhere, and there are basically no normal people.
There is a sign hanging at the entrance of the town with two words written on it: "Soul Town".
When the white-haired old lady who was buying food at the entrance of the town saw Qiao Ziqian, she smiled and sent a transparent fish into the hot oil pot and greeted him.
"Good evening, Lord Joe. β
Qiao Ziqian bowed his head and walked forward without squinting.
Hearing this harmonious voice, Sang Apple quietly opened his eyes and saw the old lady standing in front of his old stall, the old lady smiled at Sang Apple, and the full mouth of fangs made Sang Apple quickly turn his head and get a little closer to Qiao Ziqian.
It's horrible! It's horrible!
Along the way, almost everyone knew Qiao Ziqian, and shouted "Hello Master Qiao".
Qiao Ziqian nodded his head, cherishing words like gold, and he was so cold that he couldn't do it.
Feeling that Sang Apple's palms were sweaty, Qiao Ziqian said lightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." β
Sang Apple's other hand silently climbed up Qiao Ziqian's arm, like a small sticky cake, eager to grow on Qiao Ziqian's body.
Qiao Ziqian glanced at her hand and frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Don't think about it, there must be a handprint on the suit, and she must wash the suit dozens of times when she goes back!
At this time, one person suddenly blocked the way of Sang Apple and Qiao Ziqian.
"Hello Mistress Joeβ"
The man's voice was shrill and thin, his movements were particularly jumpy, he was covered in bandages, only a pair of eyes were exposed, not even a nose and mouth, Sang Apple was a little curious, this person didn't look very scary, so how could he breathe like this?
"Hello, little beauty, oops, it's a humanβ"
As he spoke, the man approached the apple, and as soon as he approached her, the man's eyes instantly turned red, and his pupils were still the vertical pupils of animals, and his tongue somehow appeared, exactly like a snake!
In addition to these demons and monsters, the mulberry apple that is most afraid of footless animals in his life threw himself into Qiao Ziqian's arms and shouted: "Go away! Don't touch me!"
Qiao Ziqian protected the mulberry apple with one hand, and reached over with the other, blocking this strange person in the air.
Qiao Ziqian's face was indifferent, and he said coldly: "Don't touch her, and don't get close to me." β
There was disgust in his tone.
Looking at the yin qi on Qiao Ziqian's body that suddenly became stronger, the man shrank and walked to the side.
"Just kidding, goodbye Mistress Joe!"
As he spoke, he left, with strange and bewitching movements, looking very twisted.
Qiao Ziqian withdrew the cold yin qi in his whole body and said, "He's gone." β
Mulberry apples feel like they're freezing from summer to winter.
"Haqiuβ"
Sang Apple couldn't help but sneeze, and the spit star fell on Qiao Ziqian's chest gorgeously......
"yes, I'm sorry, Ha Qiu-"
Sang Apple looked at Qiao Ziqian apologetically, saying that her nose was itchy, and it was another sneeze, Qiao Ziqian turned her whole body with a black face, avoiding the attack of the spitting star.
He took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands, wiped his chest, and folded it up and put it in his trouser pocket.
"Gone. After Qiao Ziqian said something coldly, he walked straight forward.
Sang Apple hurriedly followed, wanting to hold Qiao Ziqian's hand, but couldn't hold it, so he pulled the corner of his clothes and followed closely.
After a while, Qiao Ziqian stopped in front of an old Republican-style building, and there was a sign hanging in front of the house, and the words on it were still colorful.
"Greater Shanghai?"
What the heck?!
Qiao Ziqian pushed the door and walked in, and a burst of music came, it was dance music in the Republic of China, and there were indeed many "people" in it.
Looking at a cat-headed man in the clothes of a barmaid passing by, Sang Apple turned his face and saw a monster that was half human and half snake, the snake's tail was still moving, and the rustling sound of rubbing the ground made Sang Apple's scalp numb.
Mulberry Apple is about to cry, what the hell is this place?
Qiao Ziqian took a step back and stretched out his hand to gently cover Sang Apple's eyes.
The familiar aroma of ancient wood came into the nose of the mulberry apple, she blinked, her soft eyelashes swept over Qiao Ziqian's palm, and after feeling the slight itch, Qiao Ziqian said helplessly: "Close your eyes." β
Sang Apple obediently closed his eyes.
Qiao Ziqian put down his hand and naturally took Sang Apple's hand and walked upstairs.
The dim light shone on his face, handsome and mysterious.
Qiao Ziqian stopped outside a room, this room is in the innermost, the house number on it reads "666", Qiao Ziqian's index finger curled slightly, frowned and looked at the door, and said to the mulberry apple next to him: "Knock on the door." β
Sang Apple opened his eyes slightly, and saw that he had arrived at a door, so he made up his mind and reached out to knock on the door.
"Please come in. β
A voice came from inside.
The voice was very old, and it sounded like an old man in his seventies and eighties.
Sang Apple pushed the door, the door was not closed, and the two walked in.
The room was a pale blue, with a blue crystal ball resembling a lamp in the center, and on the table, a young girl sat on a chair, her eyes were blue, like a mysterious starry sky, although it was still different from normal people, but compared to people outside, it was much more normal.
Sang Apple and Qiao Ziqian walked over.
When the girl saw the two of them, she smiled and said, "It turned out to be Master Qiao, please sit down." β
Listening to this old voice, Sang Apple was very surprised, was it actually this girl's voice.
Qiao Ziqian sat opposite her, looked at her, and asked, "I'm going to trouble you this time." β
"What do you say, Lord Qiao," the girl smiled, pushed a bottle in front of Qiao Ziqian, and said, "Everyone is an equal exchange." β
Qiao Ziqian took the bottle, stretched out his hand and gently put it on the mouth of the bottle, suddenly, the surroundings became cold, as if it had reached a few degrees below zero, Sang Apple trembled all over, and sneezed without warning.
Qiao Ziqian's fingers seemed to be braving cold, and he rushed into the bottle, and after a while, the bottle slowed down, and it became a starry snowflake-like thing, which was very beautiful and beautiful under the blue light.
The girl smiled and took back the bottle full of yin qi, put it aside, looked at the mulberry apple, handed over a blue jar, and said, "Lord Qiao is very cold when he releases yin qi, if you don't want to catch a cold, eat it." β
Mulberry Apple took the jar and thanked him.
Qiao Ziqian glanced at her, then turned around, looked at the girl, handed over a photo in his hand, and asked, "Can you find a person named Bai Yu?" It's a human being, and it's supposed to be dead for four or five years. β
"Bai Yu, is it from this city?" the girl asked with a wink as she took the picture and looked at it.
"Hmm. Qiao Ziqian nodded.
The girl smiled and said, "The soul is still in the world, and I should be able to find it." You wait first. β
Then, a blue glowing thread spread out of her eyes, intertwined with the blue crystal ball on the table, and the light of the blue crystal ball flickered on and off.
Sang Apple took the blue jar in his hand, sniffed, and opened it curiously to see that there were several blue bugs inside, which were alive and still wriggling......
Is this really for eating?
Mulberry Apple silently closed the lid and pushed the jar far away.
I'd rather be sick than eat this thing!
"Bai Yu should be reincarnated. The girl withdrew the light in her eyes, with a hint of apology, "There is no breath of this life, he should have been reincarnated after death, and the name has been eliminated from the Yin Si Record." β
Qiao Ziqian nodded, stood up, and said, "I understand." Let's go. β
Mulberry rubbed his nose and stood up and followed.
"I'm sorry, Mistress Joe, I couldn't help. β
The girl looked at Qiao Ziqian apologetically.
Qiao Ziqian nodded and said, "It's not completely fruitless. β
After speaking, he went out with Sang Apple.
The next Lu Sang Apple still followed him with his eyes closed throughout the whole process, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, the noise around him was completely gone, and Sang Apple asked.
"Are we out?"
Qiao Ziqian let out a "hmm".
Sang Apple asked again, "Are there any ghosts?"
Qiao Ziqian glanced at the sky that was about to brighten, smiled slightly, and said, "No." β
Sang Apple was not at ease, and asked again: "That...... What about that kind of strange person?"
Qiao Ziqian: "No. β
Sang Apple exhaled, opened his eyes, and saw himself standing under a bus stop sign, the sky was already bright, not to mention people, not to mention half of the ghosts.
Feeling rejuvenated, Sang Apple looked at Qiao Ziqian angrily and said, "Why didn't you tell me if there was nothing?"
Qiao Ziqian glanced at the hazy mist in the distance, and said lightly: "I don't want to." β
Two simple words, Sang Apple heard the deep meaning.
This is revenge!
Although there are no ghosts, but there is no one around, Sang Apple glanced at the bus stop sign, he was still a little scared, he reached out and pulled the corner of Qiao Ziqian's clothes, and asked, "We won't take that car back again, right?"
Looking at Sang Apple's cowardly appearance, Qiao Ziqian smiled secretly, and then said, "Hmm." β
In an instant, the mulberry apple was gone, and the expression was so miserable and miserable.
Don't be so tormented!
Qiao Ziqian put one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, and held it slightly to his lips with the other hand, covering the corners of his raised mouth.
After catching a glimpse of Qiao Ziqian's smiling face, Sang Apple reached out to pinch his waist.
"You are worse than the devil!"
Qiao Ziqian reached out and grabbed her hand that she was pinching mercilessly, and frowned: "Stop, otherwise you will be here." β
Sang Apple withdrew his hand and glared at Qiao Ziqian.
Qiao Ziqian sorted out his clothes, stood decently, and said, "It's not big or small." β
Sang Apple stood behind him, gesturing with teeth and claws, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Somedayβ
"Doot-doo-"
A green bus came in the distance, it was the city green that Sang Apple was familiar with, so Sang Apple was so happy that he left "one day" behind, and now it is the most important thing to go home, and he is the happiest to see a living person!
