Today, there were two ghost guests from Heiyan City in the Longevity Hotel, who seemed to be rich and generous, and they chatted with the shopkeeper Teng Shuli very energetically. In particular, they were really satisfied with several signature dishes of the Changshou Hotel, and they were full of praise while eating, which made Teng Shuli very useful.

While eating, the ghost attendant asked the shopkeeper Teng Shuli about the things in the gladiatorial arena. Teng Shuli didn't know much about this, so he couldn't answer at all.

He simply beckoned to me and said, "Xiao Zhai, didn't you just go to watch a gladiatorial fight last time?" Come and introduce the guests! ”

I walked over and asked, "What do the guests want to know?" ”

The ghost retinue said: "I heard that today is the day of the gladiatorial arena, so I want to go over and join in the fun." What time does it start? ”

"Yo!" I just remembered that it was fifteen today, and the arena was open again. However, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the spectators had already begun to enter, and the official gladiatorial tournament would begin around the clock.

"The guests are only queuing up to buy tickets now, and it is estimated that they can't buy them, so they can only go to the scalpers outside the venue to buy high-priced tickets." I tell you the truth.

"That's okay, it's rare to come once anyway, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more!" The ghost attendant just smiled, not in a hurry.

"Even so, I'm afraid the two guests will have to hurry. The game starts before it happens! ”

"Oh, then let's eat faster!" The ghost attendant sped up the pace of eating as he spoke. But he still took the time to ask me, "What are the hot people in the gladiatorial arena lately?" I heard that you can also bet on winning or losing, and you can also reveal a little bit of your heart to us! ”

I thought to myself, who else can there be a hot person, isn't it!

"I don't dare to say it, but there has been a big hit in the gladiatorial arena recently, and you can bet on it to win!"

"Who?"

"Hei Tai Sui!"

"Hei Tai Sui? Is it a human or a ghost? ”

"Ghost!"

"What kind of weapon does it use?"

"Scythe!"

"Yo, scythe ghosts are rare!"

"Hehe, what is even more common is that the ghost skills it cultivates can heal itself at any time, and it is not afraid of injury!"

"Wouldn't that be even more powerful!"

"That's right, it's been a six-game winning streak recently!" I spread my hands helplessly, reluctantly reminded of the bloody gladiatorial match half a month ago.

The ghost attendant listened to my description of the deathmatch between Hei Tai Sui and Meng Hui, and he was also quite bright: "Six consecutive wins?" That's a long face for us! ”

I can only flatten my mouth and disagree.

The ghost attendant saw that I seemed to be a little disgusted, and he was not annoyed, and asked me with interest, "It seems that you don't like Hei Tai Sui very much?" Is it just because it's a ghost? ”

"No!" I shook my head, "I watched one before, it was the ghost fighter of the multi-armed gate three swords against the gladiator Li Dagang of the giant bear regiment. That Sandao left a good impression on me, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he dared to accept failure. In fact, whether it is a ghost fighter or a gladiator, as long as you play seriously and respect your opponent, I think it's pretty awesome! ”

"Heh, do you think that Hei Tai Sui is too arrogant?"

"Arrogance is no longer enough to describe it!" I began to feel a little sick to my stomach when I thought of the horrible and disgusting scene at the end, "It eats people in front of so many living people, and eats slowly one bite at a time, hum!" It's so brutal! ”

"Hmm." The ghost attendant also nodded in agreement.

"Since it's just a gladiatorial fight, it's enough to tell the winners and losers, even if there are casualties. But after winning, you deliberately ate your opponent? Well, it's really not suitable, and it's easy to be hated! He concluded.

"That's right!" I also agree with it. It seems that this is also a knowledgeable ghost.

"That's it! The dishes are almost finished, so it's time for us to go to the game, right? The attendant wiped his mouth with the corner of his coat and turned to ask the boy.

The relationship between them does not seem to be a master-servant relationship, it should be just a partner or bodyguard or something. It's just that why didn't he even carry a knife with him?

The rich ghost boy nodded, still didn't speak, and stood up on his own. In the end, it was the ghost attendant who went to the counter to settle the bill, and at the end he gave some more tips, saying that he was grateful to the shopkeeper and the guy for their reception and introduction. After saying that, the two ghost guests who had come from other places to do business went to the direction of the gladiatorial arena together.

Uncle Teng was very happy, called me over, handed me five Yin Yuan, and said, "Right now, you accompany Granny Qin to Third Street, where there is a musical instrument store, buy her a new string and come back, and the rest of the money will be used as a tip for the guest to give you!" ”

I agreed, and then took Yin Yuan, took Granny Qin, who was still a little confused with her broken string pipa, and went to Third Street. I thought that the conversation I had with the guest was just a trivial chat, but on the same day, something strange happened.

In the evening, when the Changshou Hotel was about to close, suddenly there was a very noisy noise outside, accompanied by a few dog barks from time to time.

Wei Dahu's vigilance has always been very high. He immediately became nervous, shouting the names of a few of us as he picked up the guy and ran out, thinking that the two ghost gangs from nowhere had gone off before the curfew began.

As a result, we ran outside to take a look, and it turned out that the ghost secretary was running around with a proboscis dog on the street, and they also broke into every store to sniff and check.

Not only the ghost secretary, but also the city guards came down from the roof of the cave and began to search from house to house. The Longevity Hotel was carefully rummaged through by two city guards from the inside out, one of whom I had seen before. I drank twice with Cao Zhe and him in the Lotus Bar, and I was a familiar face.

I whispered to him, "Why are you so tense?" What's going on out there? ”

The city guard didn't hide it from me, and said, "We also received an order from above, and I heard that there was infighting in the ghost slave pen after the game in the gladiatorial arena tonight, and dozens of ghost slaves fought with each other!" As a result, the bars that held them were broken! ”

"A ghost slave took the opportunity to run away?" As soon as I heard it, I knew there must be something to follow.

"You guessed it, there were more than a dozen ghost slaves running away at that time! Although a few were caught on the spot, a few still ran away. So we're looking for it. ”

"Who ran away? Are there any powerful ghost slaves among them? ”

"Those who can run away must be powerful ghost slaves! Among them, there are the black Tai Sui of the Miao family and the three knives of the multi-armed door! ”

"What? Both ghosts ran away? ”

I exclaimed. Hei Tai Sui likes to eat people the most, and if he runs away, isn't it a very dangerous thing for all the living people in Zuoqiu City?

The city guard obviously knew very well how powerful Hei Tai Sui was, and nodded very seriously: "The most dangerous of them is that Hei Tai Sui!" So you see, it was supposed to be the work of the Ghost Division, but now it's also pulling us over to help. The Ghost Division and the City Guards are teaming up to hunt it down! ”

"Then you have to be careful, that Hei Tai Sui is a madman!"

"We naturally understand this!"

"However, Cao Zhe's guy rested today, and he escaped a catastrophe. It is estimated that he went to the Lotus Bar to find Xiaohe again, and he should still be drunk in it at this time! ”

"I'm drunk, and I've got to go home! It is said that for this matter, our Deputy City Lord Wu was also alarmed, and all the city guards who were not on duty were called back! ”

"Then Cao Zhe should be careful! He's not a good drinker! ”

"Hey, hey! It is! ”

After the city guard chatted with me for a few words, the search in the Longevity Hotel was also completed, and of course nothing was gained. He hurried to search the next shop.

I stood in front of the hotel and scratched my head in confusion. Come to think of it, at noon today, I had just mentioned Hei Tai Sui and Sandao to those two guests, and they ran away that night, which was really a coincidence!

However, if those two guests had something to do with it, I still don't believe it. Because the resentment on their bodies is not very strong, the ghost entourage is at most a green ghost, and the rich boy ghost is even just a gray ghost. This is a very ordinary kind of ghost in Zuoqiu City, how can he have such great ability?

Alas, I still hope to catch these escaped ghost slaves sooner!

Three knives are just that, it's a, and its character is not brutal, it is estimated that it escaped in order to escape the punishment of the ghost gang. And that Hei Tai Sui is definitely a crazy guy! It's hard to control in the gladiatorial arena, let alone out of control off the field? As long as it wanders around the city for a day, it is inevitable that someone will suffer!

However, to my surprise, the night passed smoothly, and no one or ghost came to the Longevity Hotel to toss or make trouble. Even due to the city-wide search and arrest restrictions of the Ghost Affairs Department and the city guards, those ghost gangs stayed in the nest honestly, and even the ghosts crying wolf howls that came and went during the usual curfew period basically disappeared, which made me have a rare good night's sleep.

When he got up the next morning, Wei Dahu had already returned from inquiring about the situation on the street. He told me that after a whole night of searching and arresting by the Ghost Affairs Division and the City Guards, most of the ghost slaves had been arrested, and only Hei Tai Sui and Sandao, the two leading ghost slaves, had not been captured. But fortunately, the proboscis dogs sent by the Oni Division tracked their breath and showed that they all escaped from the slave gate in the end.

As we all know, the guards on the slave side are the most loose, almost in an undefended state, and Hei Tai Sui and Sandao are likely to go out in the ghost slave pile.

Subsequently, I also got news from Cao Zhe (this guy was really drunk that night, and he couldn't rush back to participate in the city-wide search, and was punished for working overtime for a month): Deputy City Lord Wu has asked for additional manpower to strengthen the defense of Numen to prevent such things from happening in the future.

Cao Zhe finally complained: "The old witch has always wanted to do this, this time it is logical to find a reason!" ”
