Chapter 20: The Dilemma
Fan Lin wandered along the unfamiliar road, there were not many people near the road, and no one would walk around here with nothing to do. It was beginning to be overcast, and soon a hazy light rain began to fall, and the oncoming cars passed over him, and the tires rolled up some sewage, which made him feel more and more depressed, even if it did not splash him, and he began to regret running out of the house recklessly.
"Hmph...... It's obviously my own house, and I didn't do anything wrong, why did I run out myself, no matter how I say it, it shouldn't be me. Fan Linyue chattered at the empty gray road for a while, and then gradually calmed down, pondered and thought about it for a while, and found that there was nothing important between the two just now, and at that time, he only needed to explain to solve these small conflicts.
"Really, for your sake, I won't care about it this time."
Fan Linyue muttered to the air for a while, and finally regained his mood, and was about to turn around to go back, but he found that something was wrong around him, and the sense of disobedience haunted him, making him suddenly alert and squinting his eyes.
"I ...... I actually ......" Fan Linyue looked left and right for a while, and then said dejectedly: "Lost, where am I?" ”
He muttered to himself as he took a few steps in the direction of his back, trying to spot some familiar houses in the opposite direction, but the unusually similar buildings around the intersection made it difficult for him.
After a cursory glance at the four roads that were almost identical, he quickly threw in the towel.
"Wait...... No, I was on the highway just now, there are farmland on both sides, and where did these high-rise buildings suddenly come from......" Fan Lin muttered to himself, and then subconsciously walked through this intersection, only to find himself at another intersection, surrounded by similar scenery, and the unfamiliar buildings around him made him unable to distinguish the direction.
There were no pedestrians or vehicles at the intersection, and Fan Linyue stood alone on the zebra crossing, dressed in white, standing in black and white looking a little funny.
"This is a spirit detention circle, under normal circumstances, you have to find the eye of the array that supports this circle before you can leave."
Fan Lin ran up more and more, unconsciously walking through the intersections, talking casually, and then he suddenly woke up, he didn't know why he said that in a calm tone, and there was no memory in his mind to support him to say that. But that sentence also made him realize the situation he was in. "So I'm trapped in an artificial circle?"
This time no one answered his soliloquy.
"Looking for an eye...... I don't know what the Array Eye is. ”
The more Fan Lin looked around, in his eyes, these strange buildings seemed to have nothing special except for being a little empty.
"Forget it, since I know it's a magic circle, what can trap me Fan Linyue." The ghost boy stood up suddenly, only to see him smile faintly, his hands crossed in front of his chest, condensing his ghost qi in his hands, and the space around him swayed and trembled with the gradually thicker ghost qi, and then some tiny cracks began to burst in mid-air. "What a magic circle, such a dish." He grabbed a gap and forced his way out, and it was still the same road that didn't have any forks in the road at all.
"Now I can just follow this road back to town, and sure enough, it's not a problem for me." Fan Lin became a little proud, thinking about what he should say when he went back. But soon he became depressed again. "Am I going to go back and apologize to Luo Yang, I didn't do anything wrong, really, is it so troublesome to get along with humans......"
The more Fan Lin thought about this for a long time, he still cared very much, until he saw an orange cardboard box in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and the box was placed like an attractive orange on the rainy and foggy gray street, which looked particularly bright and jumpy.
"Aha......"
Fan Linyue's eyes, which had been dim, gradually lit up.
Luo Yang, who had been resting in the bedroom for a while, really couldn't rest assured, so he put on a thick coat and an umbrella and went down the road outside the town to find the ghost boy who had run away from home, which was later told to him by Ji Moyu. Knowing that Fan Linyue didn't go far, Ji Moyu saw that Luo Yang was really worried, so he didn't stop him from going out again.
The rain was cold, there were no pedestrians on the road, Luo Yang held an umbrella to block the sparse light rain, his scarf wrapped his head tightly, and he walked hurriedly all the way, but he didn't feel cold. The road was clean and there was no clutter to disturb the view, and soon Luo Yang noticed the conspicuous cardboard box on the side of the road.
and Fan Linyue, who was squatting inside and looking out pitifully.
The narrow box could not fit his sleeves and hem, and all of them were scattered through the box, that is, the transparent clothes would not be stained by the sewage on the ground, otherwise this rather clean ghost would have jumped up and scolded the street. Luo Yang thought so, and shouted at the young man:
"Fan Linyue, go home."
The ghost boy raised his eyes to look at Luo Yang, and then twisted his face to the side, with an expression that didn't want to deal with anyone.
"I misunderstood you in this matter, I solemnly apologize to you, don't be angry anymore."
"Hmm!" Fan Lin Yue replied heavily, but it still didn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting up, for a long time, Luo Yang didn't speak and just looked at him, and finally Fan Lin couldn't hold back his mouth first.
"Luo Yang, I can accept your apology, but can you promise me one thing as an apology?"
"You speak first."
"You agree first." Fan Lin's unrelenting appearance made Luo Yang have an ominous premonition.
"Reluctantly agree." As soon as Luo Yang's words fell, Fan Linyue stood up suddenly, and Luo Yang saw that in the small box, there was a bright yellow kitten, which sat quietly in the box, looking at Luo Yang outside the box with a curious look.
"Fan Lin Yue...... You won't be ......."
"I'm going to keep it in the house!"
"Nope."
Fan Lin squatted down again without thinking, and there was a long silence.
"Alright, let's go back first." Luo Yang really had no other way, he bent down and lifted the box, and faced Fan Lin who was squatting in it, the young man's face was full of hope and grievances, so that Luo Yang did not refuse directly this time, so he could only return to the town with the box, fortunately, the box only added up to the weight of a kitten, so that this patient would not lose his strength halfway.
