However, what made Liu Xing feel a little strange was why the side quest related to the black cat demon had not been triggered so far?

Could it be that there is anything else important about this black cat demon that has not been excavated?

After resting for an hour on the third floor, everyone went to the first floor together.

Except for Li Dian who continued to stay to assist Hu Cang in order to gain Hu Cang's trust, the others were ready to continue to visit Panlong Town.

Of course, before leaving, Zhang Jingxu did not forget to ask Hu Cang about the specific location of the teahouse opened by Xiao Mochen.

Liu Xing noticed that when Hu Cang heard the name Xiao Mochen, he couldn't help frowning, and there was a trace of entanglement and helplessness in his eyes, it seems that the relationship between Hu Cang and Xiao Mochen is not simple.

After Zhang Jingxu chatted with Hu Cang for a while, he first beckoned everyone to leave the clinic, and then said to Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling: "That Xiao Mochen is indeed Hu Cang's good friend since childhood, and he used to live next door to Hu Cang, but later because Xiao Mochen went to Rongcheng to work, the relationship between the two became cold, and Xiao Mochen returned to Panlong Town more than two years ago to open a teahouse, by the way, Xiao Mochen's original name was Xiao Yong, and his nickname was Goudan. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this Xiao Mochen to be called a dog, which reminded Liu Xing of Dogo Iger from the last mod, and he didn't know how Dogo Iger was doing in Fisherman's Village now.

Xiao Mochen's teahouse is not far away, Liu Xing and his party walked more than 20 meters to the left and found the teahouse opened by Xiao Mochen.

Just as Liu Xing thought, as soon as he walked to the door of Xiao Mochen's teahouse, he heard the sound of hand-rubbing mahjong from inside.

At this time, Xiao Mochen was sitting on the recliner at the door basking in the sun, and there was a teacup next to him.

Seeing the arrival of Liu Xing and the others, Xiao Mochen stood up with a smile and said, "Yo, you are here, please come in, please come in." ”

Xiao Mochen's teahouse is very well decorated, and the mahjong area and the tea drinking area are arranged separately, so Liu Xing and others were arranged to the tea drinking area, and Xiao Mochen personally served tea and water to Liu Xing and others.

Zhang Jingxu once again turned on his real-time translation function.

After placing the melon seeds and peanuts, Xiao Mochen sat down and said: "There is no entertainment place in Panlong Town, except for the black Internet café next to the junior high school, only my teahouse can pass the time, you can come to my teahouse at any time to sit." ”

Wan Chongshan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I like to play mahjong, I don't know if Brother Xiao can help me find a few suitable people to play with." ”

Xiao Mochen smiled and said: "Don't call me Brother Xiao, I'm only twenty-one years old now, Brother Wan, you are older than me no matter how you look at it, so Brother Wan, you still call me Brother Xiao directly, as for Brother Wan, of course it's no problem if you want to play mahjong, we don't dare to say anything else in Panlong Town, but there are more people who can play mahjong, but most of these people who play mahjong are some old men and old ladies, so they can only play a piece of five cents, Brother Wan, don't be too small." ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wan Chongshan cut to the chase and said: "Of course this is no problem, I was originally here to pass the time, and I didn't plan to make money by playing mahjong, but I don't know if Brother Xiao will play mahjong?" ”

Xiao Mochen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Of course, in our land of Bashu, almost everyone can play mahjong, and I naturally can play mahjong, and I dared to play mahjong with adults at the table when I was twelve years old." ”

Wan Chongshan nodded, patted Xiao Mochen's shoulder and said, "Then let's do it, Brother Xiao, how about you also come to play mahjong with me, after all, I still need you to introduce me to other mahjong friends." ”

Hearing Wan Chongshan say this, Xiao Mochen began to look a little hesitant, and his face was entangled.

Obviously, Xiao Mochen didn't really want to play mahjong.

At this time, Wan Chongshan decided to use the agitation method, pretending to be surprised and said: "Brother Xiao, don't tell me that you, the owner of the teahouse, don't play mahjong, or Brother Xiao, don't you want to play mahjong with me?" ”

When Wan Chongshan said this, Xiao Mochen said helplessly: "How to say it, of course I really want to play mahjong with you, but my wife doesn't like me to play mahjong, so Brother Wan, you should also know, we are rich in rake ears... ”

Rake ears means that the wife is strict.

When Wan Chongshan heard Xiao Mochen say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know how to continue to persuade Xiao Mochen to play mahjong with him for a while.

However, Zhang Jingxu immediately mended the knife at this time and said: "This is not a big problem, if your wife comes, Brother Xiao, you will say that we forced you to play mahjong with us, I believe your wife will definitely understand you." ”

Wan Chongshan also reacted at this time, and immediately nodded and said: "That's right, we will definitely cover for you Brother Xiao, and I can see that Brother Xiao also wants to play mahjong now." ”

Xiao Mochen was sung and harmonized by Zhang Jingxu and Wan Chongshan, so he gritted his teeth and said: "That's okay, then I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman today and play mahjong with you, but don't betray me." ”

So, Wan Chongshan pulled Xiao Mochen to find a mahjong table to sit down, while Liu Xing and the three of them planned to leave the teahouse and continue to go to Panlong Town after drinking tea for a while.

Just as Liu Xing and the others were about to get up and leave the teahouse, they saw a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes walking into the teahouse, and then came to Xiao Mochen's side, saying something with a hippie smile.

Zhang Jingxu frowned, and said in a low voice: "That middle-aged man seems to be Xiao Mochen's father, and he came to Xiao Mochen to ask for money, but it seems that the relationship between Xiao Mochen and his father is not good." ”

Liu Xing nodded, even if he didn't know what Xiao Mochen was talking to his father, but judging from Xiao Mochen's expression and tone, Xiao Mochen hated his father very much, and those people around him who played mahjong looked like they were used to it.

In the end, Xiao Mochen, who was unbearable, could only take out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and hand it to his father, and then Xiao Mochen's father left the teahouse with a smile.

"Let's go, let's keep up with Xiao Mochen's father, I think Xiao Mochen's father should have a problem, let's go see what he wants to do with the money." Liu Xing said with a grim reaper.

From the first time Liu Xing saw Xiao Mochen's father, Liu Xing could be sure that Xiao Mochen's father was an addict, because Xiao Mochen's father had a yellow face and thin muscles, thin bones, and weak limbs and loose eyes, which was very in line with the characteristics of an addict.

The most important thing is that in the Cthulhu Run game, there is a lot of information on the addict NPC, and it can be easily obtained by spending a certain amount of money, and if necessary, you can directly spend money to let the addict NPC work for you.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that he should be able to learn the secret of the black dragon from Xiao Mochen's father, and the reason why Xiao Mochen and Hu Cang didn't say a word about the black dragon.

So, Liu Xing and the three of them left the teahouse and secretly followed Xiao Mochen's father.

Xiao Mochen's father didn't go far before entering a small supermarket.

Liu Xing and the three hurriedly followed into the small supermarket, pretending to buy water and cigarettes, but they did not find any trace of Xiao Mochen's father.

The area of this small supermarket is not large, there are only four shelves, and there is basically no place to hide people, but there is a door next to the cash register, and it seems that Xiao Mochen's father should have already entered.

Now Liu Xing and the others definitely have no way to get in, so they can only leave the small supermarket after shopping.

Coincidentally, when Liu Xing came out of the small supermarket, he found that the opposite side was Panlong Town Primary School, because it was almost time to go to school, so many primary school students with red scarves were entering the school.

However, what made Liu Xing feel a little strange was that the school gate of Panlong Town Primary School was a vermilion arch with some white patterns on it, so the school gate of Panlong Town as a whole looked like a bloody mouth.

Because there was a teacher on duty at the school gate, it was not easy for Liu Xing and others to enter Panlong Town Primary School, so Liu Xing and others could only continue to move along the street.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Jingxu stopped and said, "I didn't expect that the health center is next to the primary school." ”

Liu Xing turned his head and saw that the Panlong Town Health Center was a single-family two-story building, covering an area of about sixty or seventy square meters, and it looked like it had been some years, because the walls of the health center were not tiled, but only coated with cement, so now some places have exposed the red bricks inside, and the windows are the kind of old-fashioned wood-framed windows that are pushed outward.

"This health center looks a little too old, or maybe along the way, the buildings in Panlong Town are very old." Ling Ishikawa said with a frown.

Liu Xing thought about it carefully, just as Ishikawa Ling said, these buildings in Panlong Town are indeed a bit old, and it stands to reason that Panlong Town is close to Rongcheng, even if it is not very rich, this should be a well-off level.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the buildings in Panlong Town should not be so old, and there should be one or two relatively new buildings anyway.

Could it be that a long time ago, Panlong Town was turned into an independent space by a powerful being, so the buildings in Panlong Town have not been renovated and rebuilt for so many years?

But according to Hu Cang, Xiao Mochen returned to Panlong Town more than two years ago, so the time is a little wrong, unless Xiao Mochen also entered Panlong Town by accident like his group.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu asked Ishikawa Ling: "Ishikawa Ling, generally speaking, what are the natural rules inside an independent space, such as whether the walls will still be weathered?" ”

Ishikawa Ling thought for a while, nodded and said: "If the person who established this independent space did not modify the internal rules of this independent space, then the internal rules of this independent space will remain the same, so the buildings in Panlong Town will continue to age." ”

"I see, then there is another problem, if Panlong Town quietly becomes an independent space, then the residents of Panlong Town should be able to discover the anomaly of Panlong Town." Zhang Jingxu continued to ask.

This question was a bit sharp, Ishikawa Ling couldn't help but ponder for a while, before giving his own answer, "It still depends on what the creator of this independent space thinks, if he wants, the residents of the independent space will not find themselves trapped in it, because since they have the strength to create an independent space, then they can casually hypnotize the residents of the independent space, so that their range of activities is forever limited to the scope of the independent space." ”

I see.

Because Liu Xing and the three of them are not sick now, there is no reason to enter the health center, so Liu Xing and the three of them continue to move forward.

After walking about fifty meters or so, there are fewer and fewer buildings on both sides of the street, and it seems that you are almost walking to the river.

Sure enough, Liu Xing saw the bridge in Hu Cang's mouth that had been affected by the mudslide, and a section of the road leading to the bridge had been completely covered by the mudslide, forming a mound of dirt nearly two meters high.

And at this moment, Liu Xing heard a miserable scream... It's just a pig's.

Obviously, a single-storey bungalow not far ahead is the pig killing farm in Panlong Town.

But it's still the same sentence, because there is no reason to go to the pig killing farm, so Liu Xing and the others have no way to enter the pig killing farm to find out, so they can only return the same way.

Returning to the nearest fork in the road, Liu Xing and the others chose a new path.

Soon, Liu Xing and others discovered Panlong Town Junior High School.

Panlong Town Junior High School is backed by the Panlong River, and the area is not too large, after all, there are generally not many students in township-level junior high schools, because most of the students in the township are sent to the county seat.

Therefore, the junior high school in Panlong Town looks a little deserted, or it is impossible to hear a sound at all.

Wait a minute.

Liu Xing listened attentively and found that there was really no sound at all in the junior high school in Panlong Town, which was very abnormal.

Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and looked at it, today is a Tuesday, and there is no holiday, and it is already half past two, so it stands to reason that it should be class.

Liu Xing frowned and told Ishikawa Ling and Zhang Jingxu his thoughts.

"Why don't we go over and have a look?" Ling Ishikawa said.

So, Liu Xing and the three walked to the gate of Panlong Town Junior High School, to Liu Xing's surprise, Panlong Town Junior High School did not have a gate, and through the gate, you can see the teaching building of Panlong Town Junior High School, the doors and windows have been seriously damaged, and in some places there are even no doors and windows.

It seems that the junior high school in Panlong Town has been abandoned.

Liu Xing frowned and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhang Jingxu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It should be that the junior high school in Panlong Town was abandoned, after all, it is next to Rongcheng, and the junior high school students in Panlong Town should all go to Rongcheng to study." ”
