Chapter 38: The Ghost Town (4)
"Damn, I'm getting into trouble again." Lin Yuan scrubbed the font under his collarbone vigorously in the mirror, and his skin was red and swollen.
"Did I know each other during my amnesia? Ghost face, play the game, I've cleared more games than you've ever died in Super Mario! ”
A man found the ghost town, found it, Lin Yuan repeatedly figured out the dialogue between the white ghost and the ghost face. What does this mean, if outsiders come in, why don't you say break in, if you want to say find it, Bi Yao said that only the ring of the orderly can open the way in. Found, broke in, saw that, if that man was Lin Hao.... Isn't that right? Isn't the place I'm in a real ghost town?!
She threw the handkerchief into the basin and said angrily: "Bi Yao is a rammer, he is thirty years old, and he is the boss of thirteen subjects, and no one knows him!" If you don't give any key information, you dare to throw people in! ”
"Who!" Lin Yuan looked at the locked window, and a piece of paper floated in through the crack in the window. Lin Yuan quickly opened the window and looked down, the sales store downstairs was very crowded, and people kept coming over.
Lin Yuan picked up the paper on the ground and wrote: "I have escaped from danger, and I will act separately." ”
It's Lin Hao! Lin Yuan's hand trembled slightly, and he hurriedly took the paper to the fire glass in the kitchen and burned it, flushing the residue into the sewer. Since he can send a message, he should be safe for the time being, maybe someone in the ghost town is helping him.
It's okay, we're here for the password, and the fight in the ring is also to attract the attention of the ghost face, and it might be a good thing that we have come into contact with the ghost face in advance now. But.... What is the password, I didn't have time to find it blindly for three days, and Lin Hao was in a difficult situation, so I had to find a way to help him.
At this moment, Lin Yuan heard lively cheers downstairs, pushed open the window to see, and hurried downstairs, she had to grasp the only clue.
"Big brother red ghost, I'm so happy, this is a big reward." The red ghost was handing out ghost coins at the door of the vending shop, one for each person, and he was surrounded by people.
"Lord Yulu, you are also here to join in the fun, it's not like you're going out tonight, so you will scatter the ghost coins." The red ghost changed the attitude of the big brother before, pushed aside the crowd, and walked over flatteringly.
"How can I afford to call me that, big brother red ghost, just call me Mubei." Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled kindly.
"This can't be helped, you are the queen chosen by the king, but since you call me a big brother, then I have a few words I want to say to you, let's take a step to talk?" Although the red ghost had a respectful attitude, Lin Yuan's attitude was obviously pleasing to him, and his eight slightly yellow teeth all laughed.
The red ghost took Lin Yuan to the dark alley between Building 13 and Building 14, the width was only one person, and the tall building blocked the light source emitted by the glass. He fumbled around the walls, scrutinizing even the smallest corners.
Lin Yuan looked at him who was bending over and groping, also squatted on the ground to look, and asked out loud, "What are you looking for?" ”
"Shhh
After a long while, the red ghost finally finished the investigation, and stood beside Lin Yuan and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you looking for?" Lin Yuan asked again, looking curious.
"Cobweb, the embodiment of the king, the king knows everything that happens in the ghost town."
Cobweb? How come I have never seen it, there should be no animals and plants in the ghost town, and there are no spiders where the cobwebs come from? No wonder Lin Hao asked me inexplicably that day, he must have noticed that something was wrong!
"Sister Mubei, we don't know each other, I'll just say it straight." The red ghost rubbed his hands, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden: "You and Brother Mu are from the Thirteenth Branch." ”
Lin Yuan smiled unchanged, and put his hands in his coat pockets: "Brother Red Ghost, what are you talking about, happy and confused!" ”
The red ghost waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know what you came in for, but I will tell you one thing, this is not a real ghost town. ”
Lin Yuan leaned sideways against the wall and said coldly, "Why should I believe you, a person who helped me for no reason." ”
"Hey, I'm not so selfless, don't I have to rely on Mubei girl in the future. If you really become a jade ghost, then the next time I come back, this is your world; If you go out, I will have to deal with people from the Thirteen Departments for the rest of my life, and after killing people and setting fires, you take my case, and I will have less risk of being shot. ”
"Whatever the outcome, you will benefit, and you will be shrewd in your calculations." Lin Yuan smiled brightly, tilted his head and asked, "Brother Red Ghost, send me another question, how many people will you let out this time." ”
"It's a fixed 500 people each time, and I answered a total of three of your questions, so remember it." The red ghost waved his hand behind Lin Yuan's back and disappeared into the depths of the dark alley.
500 people, which is not a small number, and it is fixed. Only the top three in the ring can reduce their sentences, is there any other way to reduce their sentences? Even if there is, how does the ghost town accurately control the sentence reduction at 500? Lin Yuan looked at his back and thought to himself: The dark alleys of the ghost city extend in all directions, once you go in, it is difficult to find, it is a good place to hide and seek, could it be that Lin Hao is hiding in the dark alleys? Or.... Are those outskirts of the city that are not lit up?
She looked up at the control room and the covered bridge floating in the air, her eyes deep, and she was brewing the best next step.
About 10,000 people gather in the center of the ghost town, where the people are rampant, violent, addicted to gambling, tobacco and alcohol, and have a chaotic sex life, making it a truly free city. Except on Thursdays, large groups of people are rarely seen on the streets, preferring to gather in dark places, and some of them linger in one place all day long, the flower shop.
Flower Shop is the only tavern and casino in the city, and right next to the ring, it is one of the few wooden buildings in the ghost town that is only six stories tall. From the material and geographical location of the building, you can see the lofty status of the flower workshop.
The proprietress of the flower shop is named after the flower, and everyone calls her the flower lady. Here, anything can be used as a bet, ghost coins, bodies, organs, freedom, and even viruses.
As soon as Lin Yuan entered the flower shop, he attracted much attention. First, everyone knows that she is a jade ghost, and they can't figure out her temperament, so they don't dare to come up and talk at will. Lin Yuan deliberately opened his coat, and the word 'jade' on the gold-edged silver body was very eye-catching, just kidding, what are you hiding to save your life.
The second is because she has been standing in the lobby stupidly for almost 5 minutes. Lin Yuan, who has not had any friends since he was a child, hates to appear alone in strange occasions, and it is best not to go out if he can. She suddenly discovers that this is the first time she's been on a mission alone since becoming infected. She could pretend to be calm or smile, but she didn't know how to talk to the crowd that was running away.
"Lord Yulu came to the flower shop, I don't know what happened." A young girl wearing a colorful cheongsam appeared on the third floor, looking a few years younger than herself. She stepped lightly on the fence and slowly walked down from the air, like a young lady from a family of the Republic of China, graceful and beautiful, with flowers under her feet step by step.
"Old body? Are you the flower girl? Lin Yuan's eyes widened and exclaimed, are you kidding, Bi Yao gave fake information?
According to Bi Yao's information, Hua Niang is the owner of the flower shop, 300 years old this year, the oldest person in the ghost city, and the real and upright Tianshan Tong. In the ghost town, she is the only one who is not restricted by the ghost face, and enjoys the same privilege as the ghost face.
"It's the old body."
"Are you really three hundred years old? It can't be the granddaughter of the flower girl! Hearing this, there was silence in the flower shop, but suddenly a thunderous laughter erupted, accompanied by all kinds of jokes.
"Hua Niang, Lord Yulu, this is a joke for you."
"Lord Yulu, hurry up like a flower girl to ask for advice and teach the art of rejuvenating the face."
"That's it, Hua Niang is the first beauty in a ghost town!"
"The old body is the same age as this ghost town, and he is exactly three hundred years old this year." Hua Niang shook a round fan and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, her eyes flowing with soft color: "In addition, the old body has no heirs." ”
Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly, put his hands in his pockets, and pinched his fingers unconsciously: Lin Yuan, calm down, don't be deceived by her appearance, you have to take the initiative.
Lin Yuan walked and pulled a chair and sat down, and said proudly: "This is a casino, of course I'm here to gamble, Hua Niang and I will bet on a game, the days in the ghost town are too boring." ”
Hua Niang's fan paused slightly, leaning on the railing of the stairs: "As long as you can afford to bet, there is nothing that you can't gamble in the flower shop." ”
"Okay, then please be a witness to everyone present." Lin Yuan raised his head and said loudly: "Hua Niang, if you want to play, you can play big." I'll make my own bets, and if I lose, it's up to you. However, what kind of chips do you offer, my worth is not low. ”
Hua Niang smiled, Lianbu walked to Lin Yuan's side, whispered in her ear, and quickly got up to evacuate.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said loudly: "Yes, how to calculate the rules." ”
"You set the rules, and the old body can't do things that bully the small."
"The usual gambling game is too boring, and the ghost town is respected for strength. In this way, we each choose one person from among the people present, and we don't need to fight with each other, and whoever wins, we will win. ”
"This method seems to be an old bully, you can think about it."
"Of course I've thought about it, Hua Niang, please first." Lin Yuan raised his hand to make an invitation, pursed his lips and laughed.
Hua Niang glanced at the crowd casually, and tapped her jade fingers: ", you can fight for me." ”
The happened to come in through the doorway, his face tattooed with the word 'black', his complexion was pale, his pupils were all black, and his long black hair was scattered, just like the name of black impermanence. He didn't speak, just crossed the crowd and stood between Lin Yuan and Hua Niang, which was agreed.
Lin Yuan frowned quietly, his eyes wandered the crowd repeatedly, and he shouted with a calm smile: "If any of you can beat the, Mao Sui recommend himself, and I will let the king let him go immediately." ”
"The is the first in the ring, he has never been defeated for more than ten years, and how many people have froze to death in extreme cold."
"Yes, yes, Lord Yulu is too arrogant, how dare you let Hua Niang choose first."
"Tamoro-sama, this is bad luck, the just happened to come."
"Cut, it's no secret that like flower girls, someone kicks the flower girl's field, can he come?"
"What? No, are only in their thirties. ”
"You're going to try? A few waves out of the ghost town earlier, a rare opportunity. ”
"Grass, look for death, you, you go!"
is the first master under the king in the ghost town, he and the white ghost are called black and white impermanence, suppressing the ghost town for more than ten years, and the people in the ghost town have a natural fear of them. Those thorns who are not afraid of death, the graves are full of grass.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and no one answered Lin Yuan. At this time, more and more people heard the news and rushed to see the excitement, and there was a long queue outside the door of the flower shop.
Hua Niang shook her fan lightly, the red jade bracelet on her hand seemed to be flowing blood, and said politely: "You seem to have lost." ”
