"People?"

Lao Xu frowned, hurriedly reversed back to the intersection, and looked at the depths of the alley with an uneasy expression. However, the alley was empty, and there was nothing strange about it except for the three red letters on the wall, "Give me back my life".

Qiu Qiong leaned on the car window, carefully looked at the end of the alley from the end of the alley, the pair of resentful eyes were indeed gone, and said in surprise: "No, there was still one second ago!" I saw it! ”

Lao Xu scratched his chin, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said not seriously at all: "Could it be ...... It's because the yin energy in this copper ring is too heavy, so it's haunted! Xiao Qiong, look at the three big characters on the wall, it doesn't look like it's written in blood! It shouldn't be a ghost who has come back to ask for his life! ”

"Phew!" Qiu Qiong glanced at Lao Xu with disgust, and said awe-inspiringly, "You are the ghost, the dead ghost!" In broad daylight, how can any unjust soul dare to come out, someone must be pretending to be a ghost! ”

Lao Xu smiled lightly, glanced at the environment of the copper ring, and was surprised to find that not only were strange words written on the walls of this alley, but also the walls on both sides of the road and the windows on the lower floors of the buildings had light red "life" characters, but now they were covered with a thin layer of paint, not as clear as the red characters in the alley.

At this time, Qiu Qiong took a closer look at the building left and right, and through the glass window, she vaguely saw that there was chaos in every house, as if no one was living in it. Qiu Qiong couldn't help but doubt what Lao Xu said, "Although they have the largest number of people, they have to be crowded into the smallest copper ring in the three regions", and asked, "Lao Xu, where are all the people in this copper ring?" Why didn't you see a single figure on the street or in the building? ”

Lao Xu couldn't help but wonder, looked around for another two weeks, and echoed with a frown: "Yes, what about them?" It's so unusual! It stands to reason that the street should be the most crowded and prosperous time at this time, and it shouldn't be so depressed! ”

The two men in the cab took a deep breath almost at the same time, and then stared nervously and uneasily at the end of the road, where there was a faint silver light. Lao Xu came back to his senses first, gently stepped on the accelerator, slowly turned a corner, and drove towards a row of oval-shaped buildings.

"We will follow the original plan, we don't care about anything, as long as we buy milk powder, we will turn around and leave immediately!" Lao Xu emphasized it seriously.

Qiu Qiong nodded, this time she didn't feel that Lao Xu was long-winded, because she happened to say the same thing as him in her heart.

Seeing that the row of oval-shaped buildings was getting closer and closer, Qiu Qiong looked up at the buildings on both sides of the road again, and suddenly felt very strange, "Why are the buildings in the copper ring all square, but this row of buildings is not?" ”

Lao Xu grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, and pointed to the sign with the words "Tonghuan Commodity Fair" written on the intersection in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't look at the strange shape of these buildings, they are the lifeblood of Greedy Town!" Some of the goods imported from the other six towns go directly to the buyers, while others are sold here. ”

"Does that have anything to do with the shape of the ellipse?"

"Of course it matters, what else do you need to know about doing business besides being greedy?" As he spoke, Lao Xu raised his hand and drew a circle in the air.

"What?" Qiu Qiong looked at the circle and scratched her head suspiciously.

"Round ......" Lao Xu was so anxious that he was about to say it, but Qiu Qiong hadn't figured it out yet, so he suddenly put down his hand and sighed, "Hey, I can't see it, it's 'sleek'!" These buildings are to remind their own people to collect their greed when doing business with people from other towns, to be sleek and sophisticated, so that people who come here can experience high-quality service and have the idea of coming back next time. ”

Qiu Qiong half-squinted her eyes and whispered: "No, this kind of broken place, who will come for the second time." ”

Lao Xu chuckled, shook his head and said, "When you enter inside and see the dazzling array of goods, you won't say that." ”

After a while, the car drove into the parking area, but what made Lao Xu feel strange was that the huge parking area was empty, just his car. Moreover, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and it is obvious that no one has taken care of it for a long time.

As soon as the car door was opened, the pungent rancid smell in the air immediately poured into the cab, Qiu Qiong immediately covered her mouth and nose, and exclaimed uncomfortably: "Lao Xu, what kind of smell is this?!" ”

Lao Xu couldn't stand the pungent smell, so he quickly closed the car door, slid up with one hand against the control panel, and the wind of the air filtration system was immediately turned on to the maximum. Soon, the strange smell disappeared, but Qiu Qiong and Lao Xu still didn't come to their senses, their heads still ached, and they felt intoxicated.

For a while, Qiu Qiong collapsed on the chair again, and said weakly: "Lao Xu, I can't do it, I can't open my eyes......"

Lao Xu's eyes became more and more hazy, he held up his last spirit, reached out to the steering wheel with all his might, pressed the button to lock the car, then closed his eyes, and whispered: "I...... I can't do it either......"

What exactly is that smell?

…………

"Report!"

A guard in silver armor walked to the center of the hall with heavy steps, clenched his hands into fists, and knelt on one knee.

"Say!"

In front of the guard was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a dark blue fleece coat with gold thread patterns, and sat on a bench with a swagger. Beside him, there stood two slaves in silver dresses, one fanning him and the other holding a plate of pastries, both of them holding their movements as if they had no soul.

The guard lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Master, a truck came in at the south gate just now, and it was confirmed that it was from Lazy Town. ”

"Lazy Town?!" The young man exclaimed, sat up straight, and muttered, "Isn't the only way to come a long time ago destroyed?" How can it be! ”

"My lord, that truck seems to have a flight function, and not long ago, someone saw it hovering in the air less than a hundred meters away from my town. Since the guards have withdrawn the brass ring, we have not been able to prevent it from entering the town in time, so please punish the master. ”

The young man snorted coldly, picked up a piece of pastry, slowly put it in his mouth and bit half of it, chewing it while whispering: "Flight function, that guy still has a lot of things hidden!" In the car, is there anyone else? ”

"Yes, a little girl."

"Little girl?" The young man frowned slightly, put the remaining half of the pastry back, clapped his hands, and continued, "Find out who she is." ”

"Yes." With that, the guard hurriedly stood up, bowed to the young man, and hurried out of the main hall.

And the young man looked at the back of the guard leaving, his face instantly became extremely gray, and his eyes became extremely terrifying. Then he walked slowly to a cabinet, opened the top drawer, and picked up an old communicator from it. With a tap, the screen lights up and a notification pops up: "Three missed calls."

"Hehe, if you don't put it around, this machine is durable enough. It's just that, Lao Xu, Lao Xu, isn't it good to stay in Lazy Town? You're here to die......"

Above the main hall, it was as dark as a dark cloud roof. Suddenly, he grabbed the two ends of the communicator and snapped it in half.

…………

"Bang bang...... Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

The noisy knocking sound came into Qiu Qiong's ears, and she couldn't help but turn over, pillowed her left hand, and barely opened her right eye, but saw that it was already dark outside the window. But the strange thing is that it is dark everywhere, and there is not even a light on it.

"Lao Xu......" Qiu Qiong patted Lao Xu's cheek and called softly, "Wake up, there is a situation!" ”

The situation in Qiu Qiong's mouth was naturally the noisy and rapid tapping sound. If you listen closely, you can make out that the voice is coming from the back of the car.

"Hmm...... Don't bother me, I'm sleeping soundly......" Old Xu muttered.

Qiu Qiong sighed, raised her right hand, looked at Lao Xu's forehead, slapped it with her palm, and shouted: "Don't sleep!" Wake up! ”

"Ouch!" Lao Xu screamed in pain, covered his forehead, his eyes widened instantly, and shouted, "You little girl, can you be gentle, don't always be so heavy!" ”

"I'm not so heavy, how can you wake up! Listen, there seems to be something behind the car! ”

At this time, Lao Xu gradually settled down, heard the sound of knocking, and suddenly, he frowned, showed a vigilant gaze, and looked at the back of the car. However, it was so dark outside that you couldn't see anything in the rearview mirror.

So, Lao Xu tapped the button marked "lighthouse", and a tower-shaped device slowly rose on the roof of the car, and the moment it stopped, a white light lit up. All of a sudden, the entire berthing area and even the nearby buildings became clearly visible.

Qiu Qiong and Lao Xu both narrowed their eyes and looked at the rearview mirror on their respective sides, but then, they gasped almost at the same time, and their faces showed a very frightened look.

At this moment, they would rather have only darkness next to the car. However, under the white light of the Vali, there were dozens of pale faces, dozens of reddened eyes, and dozens of skinny people.

They surrounded the back of the car, one by one squeezing forward like crazy, while the people standing in front of them were still holding stones and banging the cargo hold, and they were still chanting words, shouting: "Water...... Water...... Water ......"

Qiu Qiong and Lao Xu glanced at each other, and there seemed to be a big question mark hanging over their heads. Suddenly, a pair of dirty hands slammed on the car window, causing the two of them to scream "ah" in fright.

Then, they watched more than a dozen people climb up one after another from the front of the car, and they were like a swarm of light-seeking insects, heading straight for the lighthouse on the roof of the car. They roared loudly as they pounded the lighthouse frantically, and the light of the white lights grew dimmer under their destruction.

Listening to the miserable hiss, Qiu Qiong had goosebumps all over her body, she hurriedly covered her ears with a blanket, and shouted urgently: "Turn it off!" Lao Xu, turn it off! ”

Lao Xu reacted at this time, and quickly pressed the "lighthouse" button again, and the white light was immediately turned off. Suddenly, everything around them disappeared into darkness again, and the roaring on the roof of the car came to an abrupt end.

The frightened Qiu Qiong curled up on the seat, covered half of her face with a blanket, and asked in a low voice, "Old Xu...... What's going on......"

Lao Xu shook his head, and when he was about to speak, a person suddenly jumped off the roof of the car, lay in front of the windshield, and stared at him deadly. Frightened by this, Lao Xu's words changed rapidly, and he was only heard shouting: "I don't know either...... Wow!! What the hell!! Yes!! ”
