Chapter Fifty-Six: Witch Ghost City
I looked up at the sky at the moment, and it was already dusk, and there were fewer and fewer people in normal clothes in the bazaar. Most of them are dressed strangely, or they are full of scars and poisonous sores, with rickety bodies and thief eyebrows...... There were even some gazes, I could feel, that were locking on us.
If you enter it at this time, I'm afraid you'll really get into trouble.
"Then you know where you can stay nearby?" I asked Yao Qianwen.
She thought for a moment and responded, "There is a place, but that place is not very safe, and it needs to be kept vigil at night. ”
"It's okay, I didn't plan to sleep."
Yao Qianwen was about to run away at her age, and I didn't dare to sleep.
She naturally understood my thoughts, and gave me a blank look: "I'm annoying you now...... Let's go! ”
I was about to leave here and find a place to rest temporarily, but fate made people, and at the moment before leaving, I took a ghostly glance at the direction of the market, and it was that glance that made me see a familiar figure in the shuttle crowd.
The appearance of that figure made my heart completely still at that moment.
Is that......
"Mina?"
I saw her!
Although half of my face is covered by a scarf, and the black robe I am wearing is very strange, I will never mistake those eyes!
I immediately stuffed Lan Lan's little hand into Yao Qianwen, and she screamed in fright, "Ah! You, what are you doing! ”
"Pull her, you guys are waiting for me here, I have to go in!"
"You're crazy, it's getting dark!"
"I'll come when I go!"
Mina's presence has left me with no choice but to grab her, take off her veil, see her face clearly, and ask her all the questions I want to know.
Mina......
Mina!
My mind was full of her voice, my mind was full of her images, and I frantically rushed into the crowd of the market.
I can't care about the eyes that crawl on me like snakes.
But Mina's figure was like an illusion in a dream, and it was short-lived, and I could no longer find her beautiful figure in the crowd, and all I could see was strange people dressed as monsters, ugly in appearance, and strange in their eyes......
I don't know how long I've been in the middle of this crowd, and I'm disappointed.
When reason struggled to control me again, I noticed that it was really late. The sky was half dark, and the market was already lit with faint lights.
In the light of the lights, I realized that I could no longer find a properly dressed human here.
And myself, unconsciously, has become the convergence of everyone's eyes.
I took two steps back and decided to get out of here as soon as possible, but my body hit something, and when I turned around, it was Lan Lan!
"Brother Wei Heng!" She was a little excited to see me.
"Why are you here? What about Yao Qianwen? Ran away? "It's only Lan Lan herself, something must have gone wrong, Yao Qianwen's escape was the worst plan I could think of at that time.
But in fact, it was worse than I thought.
Lan Lan looked at me with a smile: "No, it was that little aunt who asked me to tell you, hurry up and save her, she will die later...... Lan Lan is here to spread the word! ”
"Save her?" I'm a little confused.
Lan Lan took my hand and walked briskly through the market, and on the way, she said to me that not long after I left, Yao Qianwen and she were surrounded by a group of strange people, who had no hair on their heads and their faces were full of poisonous sores, and then they couldn't help but say that Yao Qianwen had been taken away.
Although Lan Lan has amnesia, her instinct is still there, and she has some small means that she has not been caught directly.
When Yao Qianwen saw that she had escaped, she pinned her hopes on Lan Lan and shouted at Lan Lan asking to find me and ask me to save her.
"It was in this direction before, why is it gone?" Lan Lan suddenly stopped.
She took me to an area where there weren't too many people, even though it was still in the market. And as time went on, I felt like there were fewer and fewer people doing it. I came to understand that this reduction seemed to be deliberately spreading. Not to avoid me, of course, but probably to avoid the person who was going to see me.
"Brother Wei Heng, let's change places, it seems to be ...... here"
"No need." I patted Lan Lan on the head, "This is it." ”
At this moment, the people around here have completely dispersed.
The dim lamps were still in the alleys and corners around them, and a strange wind blew, and most of the lights were extinguished. The light was even darker, and an eerie atmosphere enveloped me, followed by the sound of staccato footsteps in the alleyway.
In the deep alley, I vaguely saw some figures, one of them was struggling, and I could probably hear some voices, it was a girl, it seemed to be Yao Qianwen. I stared intently in that direction, and the men walked out. Just like Lan Lan's narrative, there are about a dozen bald heads full of poisonous sores.
Yao Qianwen was surrounded in the middle, and her hands, neck, and chest ran around three blood-colored long snakes, and the snake's head swallowed the snake letter, like red poisonous fire.
"Uncle......" Yao Qianwen's voice trembled, and just as she spoke, in the shadows behind her, a rough big hand suddenly stretched out and covered her mouth!
Yao Qianwen's eyes widened, trembling with fear!
In the shadows, the man's head was exposed, his hair was still quite thick, but his eyes glowed blue, like a demon from hell.
The corners of his mouth gradually rose, and he smiled hideously at me: "Hey, hey, hey...... Not bad. ”
His gaze wandered between me and Lan Lan, and I didn't know what he meant by "good".
Or maybe it's about whom.
"This big brother, it's our first time to come to Latin America, and we don't know the rules here. I'm sorry if there's anything offended. My friend is an ordinary girl, in her early twenties, and she doesn't do much to you. I don't know how I offended you, but if I can, I hope to make amends. "I don't know why this person suddenly appeared, kidnapped Yao Qianwen, and even prepared to attack Lan Lan. But since he's reappeared, apparently waiting for me here, there may be room for negotiation in this matter.
He may have some purpose, or something to ask, I decided to find a way to stabilize him first, and then find a chance to save Yao Qianwen. These people are elusive and unruly, and if they are not sure, they must not be provoked.
The smile on the man's face, after my words ended, gradually turned cold: "What can you give me?" Well? I don't think you can give me any hair! But you, the child, and the woman, the bodies of the three of you, are still of little use to me, so ......"
It's really according to the setting that Yao Qianwen said.
But fortunately, I was also somewhat prepared.
"Wait a minute!"
Feeling that those bald heads with poisonous sores were about to come and surround us, I immediately raised my hand to stop it, and continued: "Don't talk so dead...... I know that this bazaar is a ghost market for witches at night, and wizards will trade some special objects and rare materials with each other. I've got something on me that you might not normally get easy access to, but I don't know if you'd be interested in looking at it. ”
"Oh?" The man's blue eyes swept me up and down, and he smiled disdainfully: "Then what do you have?" ”
"Look," I held the dagger from behind and slashed my arm, and at the same time as the blood flowed out, the mucus of insect venom was also produced, I hung a little slime from the tip of the knife, and then handed the dagger to the bald man next to me, motioning for him to hand it to the blue-eyed man, "What I said is in this slime, look, look carefully." ”
