Chapter 49: Fengdu Strange City
The ghost town in my imagination should be eerie and terrifying, with a dilapidated and depressed atmosphere everywhere. The streets and alleys are even more powerful, how chaotic and chaotic it is.
But in fact, what I saw was very different from what I imagined.
It's not so much a ghost town as it is an ancient city.
There are towering old buildings everywhere, which are more charming than the ancient cities I have visited before. Even all kinds of shops that exist in the world, there should be something here.
Not even entertainment venues such as bars and e-sports stadiums are left behind. It seems that even if it's a ghost, you can't miss a single one of them to eat, drink and have fun!
Because it is night, the streets are lit up with all kinds of lights, which looks even more chic, more and more antique charm, and it really looks like an ancient city.
However, the main material of the building here is made of ebony. It is estimated that it is because the yin qi of ebony is heavier, which is more suitable for nourishing powerful ghosts.
Of course, there can't be no one in a city.
On the streets, you can see pedestrians walking around, dressed and dressed like ordinary people. But I could tell at a glance that none of them were alive.
After all, there is a faint light and shadow flowing on each of them. Some are black, some are purple, and some are blue. Of course, there are also people who don't have any color on their bodies. Such people seem to be noble and extraordinary, and they all exude an extraordinary aura in their gestures.
I don't know what that color means, but it seems to represent the strength of the power.
At this time, I actually want to know, Xiao Yuze, is he a human or a ghost? Until now, I can't see through it.
Call him a ghost, but he looks very different from these ghosts.
Let's say that he is a human being, and the abilities he has are definitely not what ordinary people should have.
But I'm curious, why aren't these ghosts so well-dressed at all?! It's not the same type as what I saw yesterday!
It's three o'clock in the morning, and it's the time when the ghost is active, I don't know where Xiao Yuze is and what he's doing.
He hadn't been seen since he left a few hours ago.
I probably understand now what it means to not see each other for a day, such as every three autumns. I just hadn't seen him for a few hours, and my mind was full of him.
It's just that I love him so much, but I can't be close to him for a moment, and even touching his hand lightly will make me feel a piercing pain.
In my heart, loving someone naturally means being intimate. Platonic love is nothing in a short period of time, but if it is like this for the rest of your life, it is better not to love each other from the beginning.
This kind of relationship is too difficult for me.
Perhaps, I should really find a way to let go of my feelings for Xiao Yuze.
I looked across the street and there happened to be a bar.
It is said that getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, and I don't know if it's true.
I raised my feet and was about to walk to the opposite side, when two hands suddenly stretched out from the door to the left and right, blocking my way.
"The emperor said, for your safety, you can't go out of this door."
Just now, my attention was completely drawn to the scene of the ghost town of Fengdu, and now I noticed that there were two expressionless people guarding the door.
There was a dark air flow surging on their bodies.
Even if it's a layman, I can feel from the aura emanating from them that their skills are absolutely extraordinary.
Moreover, dozens of meters away from them, there were many people with purple-black air currents on their bodies standing in a row on the left and right, staring at this side motionlessly.
Obviously, after yesterday's accident, Xiao Yuze sent more people to protect me.
He really cares about my safety, but it's hard enough to feel the pain of being close to him here, and if you can't even get out of the door, isn't this going to suffocate me?
However, I am a person who is afraid of death, and for the sake of my own safety, I can only reluctantly glance at the bar opposite, and then honestly close the door.
I couldn't find anything else to do but sleep this big night. Now my body doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't need to sleep on that cold ice bed anymore.
My eyes fell to the large bed in the room.
The bed was covered by a large black cloth. Before, because the pain was so bad, I didn't have the heart to see what it was like underneath.
Now that I'm comfortable, I naturally want to change my bed and sleep in a different bed.
I walked straight to the big bed and uncovered the black cloth. When I saw the appearance of this bed, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Isn't this the same bed I slept in at Yunxi Hotel?!
From the shape of the head of the bed, to the size of the bed, to the appearance of the sheets and covers, they are all exactly the same as that bed. And I can be sure that it's not a resemblance, it's the same bed I slept in before.
Because of the position of the head of the bed, there is a very shallow scratch, like a knife scratch.
Such a tiny point of overlap naturally cannot be a coincidence. The only explanation is that it's the same bed.
No wonder I always have a very strange feeling every time I sleep in this bed, and I also have nightmares from time to time.
Now it seems that it should be related to Xiao Yuze.
Maybe when he comes, I can ask him what all this is all about.
Although I am prepared for him to keep quiet, but if he wants to open it, he is willing to reveal a thing or two to me.
With this in mind, I lay down in bed and fell asleep after a while.
This night, I slept inexplicably peacefully, and I had no dreams all night.
It could even be said that it was the best day I slept in more than 20 years. Maybe I know that the man I love is not far away.
Hey, I seem to like Xiao Yuze more and more. What do you have to do to forget him?
I woke up from a long sleep, and when I looked outside, it was still dark.
Didn't I sleep for a long time? Why hasn't it been dawn yet? No, I just slept for a day and a night!
"Awake? Hungry or not? Get up and have breakfast. ”
In his ears, Xiao Yuze's voice suddenly sounded. I turned my head to see him lying on his side in close proximity to me, his faint gaze falling on me.
My heart started beating fast again.
There's no way, it's hard for me not to be impressed by him.
But what did he just say, eat breakfast?
"Is it morning? Why hasn't it been dawn yet? I asked, confused.
"Fengdu has no daylight, and you know that ordinary ghosts can't see the light. Only powerful ghosts that are more than 1,000 years old can operate normally in the daylight. ”
Xiao Yuze said lightly, stretched out his hand to pull me up, and after his eyes sank, he took his hand back.
Probably he remembered that his touch would make me feel painful.
I smiled bitterly, got up and got out of bed, and casually asked him as he walked in front, "What about you?" What the hell are you? Is it a human or a ghost? ”
He was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then replied with a chuckle at me, "Probably...... It's not a human being, it's not a ghost. ”
Not a human or a ghost? What's that?
"My life is really too long, so long that it is longer than the ghost town of Fengdu you see. It can be said that I founded this ancient city with one hand. ”
"Can you tell me, who the hell are you?"
At this moment, Xiao Yuze seems to have a relaxed posture, maybe if I ask him anything today, he will tell me truthfully.
I looked at Xiao Yuze, and after all, I couldn't help but ask this question that had been bothering me for a long time.
