Chapter 40: The Ghost Town (6)
"Why have I been there for so long, I'm hungry." Poseidon threw away the ghost coin in his hand and looked at Lin Yuan who was going downstairs with a smile, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Lin Yuan stopped in front of him and said with a smile: "You haven't left yet, the legendary sea god, Poseidon." ”
"The ghost city is divided into the table city and the inner city, they are mirror images of each other, you are in the table city now, I can help you." He said sincerely, the ghost coin swirling at his fingertips.
"Why, we don't know each other at all." Lin Yuan was very excited, she had no other way to go now, if she wanted to catch the ghost face, she had to find the real ghost town.
"100 ghost coins are not in the promised reward before, and I never ask for other people's money for nothing."
"You can pay it back to me, so we don't owe each other."
"No, the money in my hands is mine."
Lin Yuan repeatedly patrolled his innocent face, trying to find any flaws, but he calmly played with the coin, letting Lin Yuan look at it, showing his white teeth and being stupid.
"You just said that we are friends, and friends should trust each other."
"You're right, I need you Poseidon."
Poseidon tossed the coin high, held it in his hand, and said heartily: "Isn't this enough, please go and ask you to add instant noodles and ham, and be full." ”
"What's so delicious about instant noodles, I want to eat Haidilao self-heating hot pot."
"That thing is precious in a ghost town, 50 ghost coins a box!"
"That's not right, why don't you two have a box for each person."
"Okay, okay, who made you my friend." Poseidon put his hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder, looking like a good buddy.
In the room on the sixth floor, the knelt in front of Hua Niang's couch, his head lying on the edge of the collapse next to her arm, and looked at her flatteringly: "Hua Niang, let me kill her, and everyone who angers you will die." ”
Hua Niang closed her eyes and patted his head lightly with her hand: "She will be taught a lesson as the price of angering me." ”
The immediately changed his words, full of caution: "You always have a point, I listen to you." ”
", I adopted you and the white ghost just to suppress the ghost town. Now that the ghost face has returned, you and the white ghost can leave on their own, go and live the life of an ordinary person, don't waste time in front of me. ”
Hearing these words, the's eyes darkened, and he buried his head in his arm and stopped talking. For a long time, until the incense in the stove was burned, he murmured: "Hua Niang, only by your side, I feel that I am alive." ”
Lin Yuan's time was almost chaotic, this was the second day she entered the ghost city, and she could only guess that it was almost night based on the hunger in her stomach. She and Poseidon sat cross-legged on the side of the road very imagelessly, and the Haidilao buffet hot pot was placed on the ground, and they were gobbling it up. Lin Yuan was indeed hungry, and he hadn't eaten anything since morning.
"Do you hear anything, like a woman's shout?" Lin Yuan raised his head and asked.
Poseidon took the opportunity to take away the largest piece of beef in Lin Yuan's bowl: "I heard, in the alley behind us, two men and one woman, you better leave the idle affairs of the ghost town alone." ”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth twice, and stood up: "I'm full, go over and take a look." She pulled out her dagger, held it behind her, and felt the wall of the alley and walked inside.
Poseidon consciously sandwiched the leftovers of her bowl into his own bowl, and felt that it was too troublesome to sandwich it, so he simply put the few dishes in his bowl into Lin Yuan's bowl, and when the bowl was empty, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Let her go!" Lin Yuan took the dagger and pointed it at the nearest man and roared angrily.
Two men sandwiched the woman between the left and the right, one fumbling on her, the other searching for money in her pocket, her clothes half gone.
"Yo, here's another chick delivered to the door." The scumbag man pushed the woman towards the man inside, and approached Lin Yuan with an evil and obscene face.
Li San, who was behind him, looked up from the woman, and when he saw Lin Yuan's face clearly, he took a few steps back in surprise: "Jade... Tamoro-sama! King... Wang Si, run! ”
Wang Si was also frightened, turned sideways over the woman who was paralyzed on the ground, kicked her towards Lin Yuan, and the two ran back and forth into the deep alley.
Lin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to catch the woman, helped her sort out her clothes, and took off his coat to put it on her: "Be careful next time you go out, try to stay in a crowded place." ”
"Thank you, Lord Tamoro, you are a good person." The woman tightened her coat and sobbed quietly.
is also a woman, Lin Yuan's heart is very sad, she really wants to help this woman who is struggling to live in a ghost town. After thinking about it, Lin Yuan took out the remaining 90 ghost coins from his trouser pocket and put it in the woman's palm: "I can't do anything for the time being, you will be better off with it." ”
The woman raised her head and said with a crying voice: "How can this be done, it is a great favor that you have saved me." ”
The two excused themselves, but the woman refused to accept it, Lin Yuan had no choice but to force her to turn around and run out of the alley, shouting as she ran: "Go home quickly." ”
"You gave her the ghost coins." As soon as Lin Yuan came out of the alley, Poseidon came over with a face, which frightened her into staggering.
Lin Yuan glanced at the empty box on the ground, and sighed, she was still hungry: "Well, let's leave after eating, take me to the ghost town." ”
"Follow me." Poseidon grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the building facing the alley. He took out a wire, slid open the lock of the first-floor resident, walked directly to the window of the living room, pushed the window open, and closed the curtain to leave only a small slit.
Lin Yuan looked at him in confusion, and just as he wanted to ask, he covered his mouth, he made a silent gesture, Lin Yuan nodded, he put his hand down, and motioned Lin Yuan to look out the window.
After a while, the woman sneakily looked around the alley, and only after confirming that there was no one did she swagger out, and there was no trace of sadness on her face. She whistled, and Wang Si and Li San, who had escaped just now, also came out of the alley, and the three of them looked at the ghost coins in the woman's hand and frowned, and walked towards the sales store on this side of the street.
"They teamed up to deceive me, you already know."
"It's that you're too simple, and you can't understand such a simple trap. Think about it, why don't you eat a small hot pot on the street, there are so many dark alleys, just this one, just let you encounter the scene of robbery and rape, obviously for you to see, Lord Yulu of the ghost town. ”
"You're right, sympathize with others, and now the penniless person has become me."
"Why don't you just grab it back, what are a bunch of little minions afraid of? Put the knife in your hand to their necks and ask them to hand over the money in their pockets by the way. ”
Lin Yuan looked through the gap in the curtain at the three people who came over happily, and said softly: "No need, there is a lot of suffering in the world, and the infected people are even worse." 90 ghost coins can make them happy for this moment, and it's worth it. ”
Poseidon was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "Then what should we do next, I don't have a penny on me." ”
Lin Yuanmu looked at him with a face, he thought that Poseidon was so strong, he must have a lot of money, so he gave the money out so generously! Seriously, she was still hungry, she sighed, "It's okay, there will always be a way." ”
"Call you a hero." Poseidon took out 100 ghost coins from his arms and threw them to Lin Yuan: "Let's go buy a bowl of instant noodles again, I don't seem to be full yet, I want to add ham." ”
"Where did it come from? Isn't there no money? Lin Yuan looked suspicious.
Poseidon put his hands in his pockets, held his head high and said proudly: "When you fight, you go from the, hehe, if I didn't keep a hand, you would have waited to starve to death." ”
"It deserves to be the first man to defeat the ghost town, reliable." Lin Yuan burst out laughing, and imitated his proud appearance: "Let's go, my sister will take you to eat instant noodles and add two hams." ”
Tonight's ghost town is very restless, the streets are full of people fighting with abilities, the strange thing is that their overflowing abilities are absorbed by the building, many people sit in the windows to watch the excitement, and some people repeatedly sprint up and down on the outer walls of high-rise buildings, countless ability fluctuations gather in the center of the ghost town, like a flood that opens the floodgates. Lin Yuan and Poseidon hid in the dark alley, silently observing all this.
At this moment, the voice of the ghost face echoed throughout the ghost town: "I decree in the name of the king that you go to the outside world to commit the worst crimes. ”
"King! King! King! Shouts rang out all around the ghost town, and countless pillars of light rose from the ghost town, some in the streets, some in the dark alleys, some in the buildings, and some in the dark outer city, and the people who were shrouded in the pillars of light disappeared.
Lin Yuan was shocked, and she couldn't help but say, "This is the real Sin City. ”
"Only those who have been removed from the ghost mark can pass through the gates of the ghost town." Poseidon said.
"What is a ghost mark?"
Poseidon rolled up his sleeves and revealed a black 'ghost' on his wrist: "This is the most common, the ghost mark protects us from being absorbed by the ghost town." Like the four ghosts of black, white, red, and blue, they are all higher-level seals, and yours is the highest-level king seal. ”
"Drain ability? What do you mean. ”
"You'll understand when you see a real ghost town."
"When so many people were released, how did they reduce their sentences?"
"Commutation? We didn't carry any punishment, everyone would be released in turn, and then they would be arrested in turn by the thirteen branches, and so on. ”
"Impossible!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, if this is the case, the people of the Thirteen Sections will definitely find out that the people they arrested are repeated, and they will not make a fuss! How could it be so easy to return the infected person who was caught with great difficulty to the research institute?
"That's it, the ghost town is the only home of the criminal. Except for the risk of being shot by the SWAT officers of the Thirteen Sections, they should be happy and free. ”
"What's the ring match, so many people are flocking to it."
Poseidon looked at Lin Yuansumu's expression meaningfully and patted the top of her head: "It's just a boring game to pass the time, don't take it too seriously." ”
The amount of information revealed by Poseidon was too large, and Lin Yuan couldn't react for a while. If this is really the case, then this must be the tacit approval and support of the human hierarchy and the First Research Institute, who are deliberately creating heinous criminals! Why is that? In this case, what is the meaning of the existence of the thirteen branches?
