"It reminds me of the village where I first met you. There are no living people there, they are all your corpses. So, if it's Mina, maybe the people here ......"

"It's all organs?" Du Youlan took my words, and then nodded slightly, "Eighty percent likely." ”

"However, fortunately, we all have easy appearance, and there is no abnormal smell of insect poison here, so it should not be so easy to detect. Mina created this, most likely just to add a layer of protection to the city in the sky, and had no special purpose. So as long as we behave normally, we won't be deliberately noticed or even ruined by the plan. ”

"So you mean, we need to stay here a little longer and slowly look for clues about the entrance to Sky City."

I nodded, "Well, besides, it's better not to put those four words in front of the villagers." ”

"And what's next?"

"Go back and rest, if you walk too long at night, you will be noticed. Wait until dawn and start looking. ”

"But during the day......" Du Youlan stopped talking.

"It's okay, I'm okay now, you can sleep."

……

Then, we returned to the house where we had planned to spend the night, but as soon as we entered the courtyard, I noticed something unusual.

"There's a smell......," I stopped, it was the smell of perfume.

My nose is very sensitive to smells.

But it's not just me.

"I know." Du Youlan also smelled the smell.

We walked to the door, and in the dim light there was a man sitting at the kitchen table, who was eating, gobbling up.

But a woman, who looks like she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, has Western facial features, like some ethnic minorities, or mixed race. A pair of eyes glowed with a pale blue luster, and I don't know if it's true color or contact lenses. I opened the curtain, and she just stopped her movements and turned her gaze to me.

We made eye contact, and for a moment, she gave me a feeling of great familiarity.

We seem to have met somewhere, but no matter how much I recall, I can't find the face in my memory. Or was it that wasn't her face when we met?

I don't know, I just know that my mind is filled with this familiarity at the moment.

And this familiar feeling is not just my own.

She also looked at me in a daze, with that kind of puzzled eyes, as if she was also thinking, where had she seen this person herself?

"Hey, man, I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong today, this girl is also trapped in the mountains during the day, and she has just walked to our village, ready to spend the night. It may be a little crowded. The man explained.

According to him, this woman came here shortly after we left. Like me, offer to stay overnight first, and then mention eating.

"It's fine." I nodded and smiled at the man, but the rest of my eyes were still on the woman.

Who the hell is she?

Ordinary passers-by? Still is......

So, I turned my gaze to Du Youlan, hoping to get some hints from her, but unfortunately, there was no less doubt in her eyes than I did.

It was the woman with Western features, she took the initiative to greet us, "Hey, hello, the other two are you?" Are you here to play? ”

I nodded, "Hmm......"

She seemed to like to talk to people, turned her eyes to Du Youlan, and then looked at me, "You guys...... Couples? Lonely men and widows come here, it feels like it should be, but it doesn't look like it. Are there any other companions? ”

I shook my head, "Not a couple. There were no other companions. ”

"Oh oh oh, that's good ......"

Her response made me wonder, what does "that's good" mean?

She also seemed to realize that what she said was a little confusing, so she explained: "Don't get me wrong, big brother, it's just that you looked at me when you just came in, which made me feel a little strange. I always feel like you know me with that look. Where have we seen this before? ”

She spoke very directly.

"I think you're familiar, but we haven't seen it before. Delusion. ”

"No, no, no, not necessarily, because I think you look familiar...... No, I guess I haven't seen your face before, but ...... There's something about you that just makes me feel familiar. ”

Our dialogue made me feel more and more weird.

Du Youlan did the same, and gently tapped my back behind me.

"Maybe we have a fate." I smiled at the woman, "We're a little tired, let's go and rest first." We'll talk again when we have time. With that, he turned around and went to the room on the right.

The man set up two beds on the ground, one for me and Du Youlan, and the other for the strange woman. As for their family of four, who is in another big bed in the house.

The already small space now looks like it's hard to find a place to stay.

The man also realized this, so he said to me: "Dude, you have to die and think that such a person is too crowded, and another room can be lived...... But it's a little messy, if you want, I'll help you move the bed to that room, okay? ”

"It's too much trouble, let's make do with it overnight." I responded.

Actually, I just don't want to change, I want to see what these "people" look like when they sleep.

Oh yes, and that woman, I also want to be closer to her, I always think this guy shouldn't be out of nowhere.

After eating, the woman walked in stretching her waist. She behaved with a big grin, and her speech didn't seem to be too brainy: "You guys, it's so unpalatable, it's half-cooked, and it's worse than my cooking." ”

Of course, perhaps the words "but brain" are no longer enough to describe her.

Both the male and female hosts were very embarrassed and didn't answer, so the woman turned the topic to me, "Huh? Didn't you say, not a couple? How to sleep in a bed? ”

"It was supposed to be two." I glanced at her bed.

"Well, that's really a problem for you...... Why don't I sleep with that little sister? "Cool Literature

"No, thank you."

The woman lies down and turns off the lights.

But she didn't sleep, she was breathing steadily, but her body kept turning, and at one moment she suddenly spoke, "Hey, can you sleep?" That's too early, right? ”

I didn't respond, and neither the couple nor the children spoke, but their breathing sounded more like they were asleep.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, big brother, I know you didn't sleep."

So, I opened my eyes.

In the dim environment, my eyes were facing her eyes on the bed opposite.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"I can't sleep, I want to talk. Didn't you say that girl wasn't your girlfriend? Of course, it doesn't look like it, but the age gap is there...... So, she wouldn't mind, would she? ”

I didn't pay attention to her words and continued to ask, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"Are you really here to play? What's so fun about that? ”

"The view."

"It's really perfunctory, talking like this, it will make you seem more strange......"

"Really? But I think it's you, right? In any case, we are two people, and one of them is a man. And you, a girl, walked alone into the mountains and forests. Why, can't you think of it? "I would also like to know what the purpose of this mysterious woman is.

But what I didn't expect was that in the next bite, she mentioned a name that I had just defined as a forbidden word, "I, in fact, came to find Sky City, hey, have you heard of that place?" ”

At that moment, nothing seemed to have changed.

On the big bed, the family of four breathed exactly the same frequency as before.

But the atmosphere, at this moment, was as cold as falling into the frozen water.

"I haven't heard of it." I responded.

"Really? I thought that people would come to this kind of place for this. ”

I didn't respond to that.

This seems to be the end of our conversation.

But suddenly, the woman spoke again, "Actually, I was looking for that place to find someone. ”

"Who?" I asked.

"My boyfriend, he had been looking for a place called Sky Castle, but about two years ago, suddenly disappeared. To this day, there has been no news. I kept looking for him and finally found the place. ”

Looking for someone?

What this guy said before has always made me scared, and suddenly said a purpose, which made my heart inexplicably calmer.

But there was still a strange feeling.

Then she suddenly got out of bed and walked to my bedside, watching me in the dark.

My brow furrowed a little as I looked at those pale blue eyes, "What do you do?" ”

"Poof, why do you think, you're scared? Are you afraid of women, brother? "She crouched beside my bed.

"What exactly are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, I just think my words made you a little nervous, so, explain your main quest, will this ease you? Being closer to you is also to hear your heartbeat. ”

She completely understood my inner workings.

Who the hell is she?

Suddenly! Her face was close to me, very close to me, and she took a deep breath at the place of my neck, and then whispered, "Well, you know, what I just said about you that I feel very familiar with?" It's your taste......"

Syllable!

At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind me.

That hand, with the woman's face, was fiercely pressed together......

The woman immediately stood up, and Du Youlan also sat up.

This slap was very loud, and even the breathing of a family of four falling asleep became stable at this moment, and it seemed that they had woken up.

"What are you doing?!" The woman's voice was unpleasant.

Du Youlan smiled coldly, "Don't you know what I did?" Then you put your face over and I'll do it again? ”

"......" The woman stared at Du Youlan, but did not respond.

Du Youlan continued: "Although we really don't have a special relationship, he is always the man by my side. Your ambiguous tone, as well as your movements, made me feel as if I had been provoked. ”

......The woman was silent for a moment, returned to her bed, and said before lying down, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood." ”

So, Du Youlan also lay down.

As for me......

I wonder what the hell does that smell mean?

Is it the smell of worm venom or the corpse? If it's a corpse, is it it? If the timeline was two years ago, it seemed to correspond just right.

Is it a coincidence?
