Chapter 69: Strange
The next morning, Lin Qingqing and the others got up early, and they planned to leave here as soon as possible.
"You really don't plan to go with us?" In the restaurant, Lin Qingqing asked with a little worry.
"I'm curious about what sounded last night, there are definitely some secret secrets in this town. "That strange cry last night was definitely made by some strange beast, Meng Wuxian decided to stay here, maybe this was also an opportunity.
"In that case, let's not say goodbye. ”
"Farewell. ”
"I advise you to stay here. At this time, the boss, who had been immersed in sorting out the account books, slowly raised his head and said.
"What a joke, who's going to stay in this kind of hellish place. ”
"yes, let's get out of here. ”
Not listening to what the boss said at all, the group had only one thought of getting out of here as soon as possible.
"The boss seems to have something to say?" Lin Qingqing asked with a little confusion.
"No, people are old and can't control their mouths. With a wave of his hand, the shopkeeper waved his hand helplessly and motioned for you to do whatever you want.
"Let's go. The other party was reluctant to tell each other, and his students all looked frightened, so Lin Qingqing had no choice but to leave first.
It's noon
"Boss, is the meal ready, I'm starving to death. Lying on the table, Meng Wutearfully urged the busy figure in the kitchen.
After a while, the shopkeeper carried a few plates of side dishes and a pot of old wine on the table.
"What to urge, you don't know how to start, where am I busy alone. ”
didn't listen to the boss's complaint at all, Meng Wu buried his head in tears and ate it. He was really hungry, he didn't eat last night, he didn't eat breakfast, and he was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back.
"Boss, sit down and eat together. Meng Wuxian said while eating the vegetables heavily.
Shaking his head and smiling, the boss found a place to sit down, picked up the flask, poured a glass of wine, and drank it to himself.
"It's about the same time. Looking up at the sky, the boss said inexplicably.
"What?" didn't hear what the boss said, Meng Wuxian looked up and wondered.
After drinking a glass of wine, the boss didn't know what he was thinking, and looked worried.
Squeak~ After a while, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, the door of the restaurant was opened, and it was Lin Qingqing and his party who came in.
"Aren't you leaving?" Meng Wuxian said with a little surprise.
Lin Qingqing, whose face was ugly, had not yet spoken, and a student behind him pointed at the boss hysterically and said, "It must be you, it must be you, it must be you..."
Several students around him hurriedly grabbed him to stop him from rushing up.
"What's going on?" stared at the student who seemed to be crazy with some doubts, and turned his head to look at the silent boss, Meng Wuxian was a little confused.
"We spent the whole morning and couldn't get out of the vicinity of the town. Lin Qingqing's face was ugly, and he said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?"
"We walked along the road when we left the town, but we walked back to the entrance of the town. Obviously, we have been going in a straight line, and we don't even see a fork in the road, but we always come back to this town for some reason. Yue Ling'er no longer had the same vitality as before at this moment, and her face was full of fear. After all, encountering this kind of strange thing sounds like a ghost story told by adults when I was a child.
"How is it possible!" Meng Wuxian looked incredulous. If what they say is true, there are only two possibilities: the first is that someone has set up a formation around the town, and everyone who enters the town can only be trapped inside unless the formation is broken. But it is impossible for such a big formation not to be noticed, not to mention that Lin Qingqing is a genuine Yuanhai Realm powerhouse, unless this formation is so strong that even the Yuanhai Realm powerhouse can't find it, they should have broken the formation and left a long time ago. In the second case, when Lin Qingqing and the others moved, the entire town and its surroundings also moved, so they couldn't get out. But neither of these methods is impossible, is there really a ghost? Bow your head and fall into deep thought, this kind of thing is really strange.
"I would like to ask you to explain. Lin Qingqing stared at the boss and said. He had said something like that when they were leaving, and then they had this strange thing, and he obviously knew something.
"Alas~" sighed, and the boss looked helpless. "It's better not to know too much. ”
"You've been hiding everything about the town from us, and now you're not telling the truth. You are in league with them, with the people behind the scenes. Huang Yi couldn't bear to point at the boss and shouted angrily. Strange things have been happening since they entered the town, and most of them are on the verge of collapse.
"Calm down. Meng Wuxian frowned, maybe the shopkeeper knew the truth of the matter, but he didn't say that it was the freedom of others. Seeing Huang Yi asking about secrets that others were unwilling to say in this tone, this kind of commanding tone made him feel a little disgusted when he went to junior high school in his heart.
"You don't talk too much, we came to this town with you, maybe even you are with them. As soon as Huang Yi said this, others subconsciously thought in this direction. It really makes sense to think about it this way, Meng Wuxian tricked them into this town, and then co-boss left them behind, and finally ......
Seeing that other people's faces have also changed a little, I can't help but laugh when I can finish it. "It seems that you are going to come with me, you followed me when I was about to enter the town, and I never asked you to come here. ”
"Yes, it was my decision to enter this town, and it had nothing to do with Meng Wuxian. If you really want to doubt me, you should doubt me too. Lin Qingqing also spoke out for Meng Wuxian to relieve the siege, and the others slowly calmed down when they saw the mentor say this.
"I don't know exactly what happened here, but it's clearly a danger to our safety, and I want you to tell us what you know. Lin Qingqing bowed her head and pleaded.
"Alas~ This is a curse, a curse to all those who step into the town~" hammered his chest, and the boss suddenly looked distressed.
"Cursed?"
"That's right, it's a curse. The people of this town have done something that has ruined their conscience and angered the heavens. Heaven sent the gods to send down divine punishment, and anyone who stepped into this town would never be able to get out, and would perish in fear. ”
"You mean, once a god appeared and sent a curse?" Meng Wuxian obviously didn't dare to believe it, he didn't believe in any so-called gods in the world.
"Yes, I am like this because of the curse of the gods. Not just me, but everyone in this town has become this horrible look. ”
"We're not going to be like that. Yue Ling'er asked in horror, in her opinion, it was better to die than to become such a ghost.
"Is that why the people in the town have been staying in the house all the time?" Lin Qingqing asked.
Shaking his head, the boss continued, "If you wander around the town, you'll be taken away by the gods. ”
"Take it away?"
"Yes, after the gods cast a curse, people kept disappearing from the town, and everyone thought they had been taken away by the gods. So everyone hid in the house and didn't dare to come out, for fear of being taken away by the gods. ”
"So, the guy from before was taken away by the so-called gods. ”
The boss nodded in agreement.
"But I remember that the guy seemed quite normal, and he didn't look like he was cursed. One of the students asked a little strangely.
"It's because I recruited that guy from somewhere else, so he wasn't cursed. Unlike before, the boss answered quickly this time, and didn't give others a chance to speak at all.
"Wouldn't we just have to wait here to die?"
Thinking of this, everyone's faces were filled with despair, and they all fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little sluggish.
