Legend has it that the Black Cat is a soul seducer from hell who can see the soul of a departing soul. It screams at a person, which means that the person's soul will be hooked to another world before the morning.

But the people who live on this street are not afraid of these legends. For them, the place where they live at this moment is hell, and they have long since abandoned their human identity, isolated from the world, and reduced to wandering ghosts.

This street is called Wandering Soul Street.

On this morning, Wandering Street was rarely greeted with two unfamiliar faces. It was two women, one looked to be in her twenties, wearing a long black dress, stepping on stiletto heels of the same color, her short black hair could not hide the sharp arc of the corner of her eyes, and when she didn't smile, she had a solemn sense of not being angry and arrogant. The other was younger, wearing a loose white T-shirt and denim shorts, with long over-the-shoulder hair tied up in a ponytail at the back of his head, and he danced gently as he walked, showing a youthful vibe.

The two are sisters in age, but their attitudes are more like mothers and adolescent daughters. From the beginning of the walk into the confines of the Wandering Soul Street, the woman in black reprimanded the ponytailed girl from time to time, and although the latter put on an appearance of humbly listening, she obviously did not take it seriously, and continued to pounce curiously on what she was interested in as soon as she turned around.

Later, the woman in black couldn't bear it anymore, and when the girl approached the fragrant baked cakes on the roadside cart again, she didn't hesitate and struck the other party directly on the back of the head with a hand knife.

"Sister Qiu, it hurts!" The girl turned her face with her head in her hands, tears streaming down her face.

"Did you listen?" The woman she called "Sister Qiu" shook her head hatefully, "This is not a tourist attraction, and these people who sell things are not ordinary people, I finally found time to accompany you here not to play." Let you show a little nervousness, do you understand? ”

"But Sister Qiu......" the girl looked around aggrievedly, "this is a very ordinary street." These pancakes don't smell weird, are you too nervous? Thinking someone is going to poison all day? ”

The woman in black didn't bother to argue with her, raised her hand to break off a piece of baked cake, and threw it to the wild dog on the side of the road with her backhand. The man who sold the baked cakes just wanted to speak, but she stared at him coldly and shrank back. He quickly put away the contents of the cart, pushed it and ran away from the scene.

"Wait, my bread!"

The girl stretched out her hand and shouted, but the man who sold the baked cakes did not look back, and ran as if he were flying. She turned her head to look at the puppy who was happily nibbling on the biscuits, and swallowed unconsciously, thoughtfully.

"You're out of the woods." The woman in black held her forehead with her hand, "A dignified host, the idea of fighting for a piece of baked cake with wild dogs flashed in an instant." Where is your dignity? ”

"I'm so hungry, Sister Qiu." The girl said aggrievedly, "It's not that you hurriedly pulled me out. I didn't even eat yesterday's dinner, and I traveled all night, so it's normal for me to be hungry. ”

"But you're ......"

"Moreover, there has been no 'host' for a long time." The girl blinked, "Isn't it good to live like an ordinary person?" ”

The woman in black looked at her deeply, pursed her lips and sighed.

"That's why I'm here." She muttered to herself.

The drastic changes in the environment that changes a lot of things, even the ideas that are ingrained in people's hearts can be changed. A year or two ago, the term "host" was known to a few people and symbolized elite status and the glory of serving the royal family. Almost overnight, however, it became almost non-existent. Some of these elites who once worked desperately for the honor of the ranking have taken up new posts, turned into diplomats and interior ministers, and continued to forge ahead on a new path, while others have retired and lived a life of idleness and ignorance. Of course, there are also those who originally aimed at this, but were unable to adapt to the change and lost their direction.

In Qiu Banxia's view, Shen Lingshuang is one of them.

Confused and unenterprising. If she doesn't learn, her daily exercise has stopped, her skills have declined significantly, and even her waist has become significantly thicker. However, as she has just become a diplomat, she has a busy schedule every day, and there are too many new things to learn and too many interpersonal relationships to deal with. Not to mention finding an opportunity to whip this unsuccessful disciple, even his rest time cannot be guaranteed.

finally squeezed out two days of rest, she didn't say a word, pulled up Shen Lingshuang and went straight to the airport. After a plane to a railroad and then a road, they finally arrived at their planned destination, Soul Street.

"Listen, this isn't what you think it's a scenic and cultural area — of course you know I'm not going to take you to that kind of nice place, do you?" Qiu Banxia said solemnly, "This is Wandering Soul Street, a gathering place for outlaws. Since the beginning of time, the region has been in a state of near-anarchy because it is sandwiched between three countries and has a chaotic jurisdiction, and this street is even more chaotic in chaos. Those who had committed crimes came here to seek refuge from the military police and their enemies, and slowly it became a gathering place for criminals and formed its own laws. The three nearby countries also reached a tacit agreement that as long as they no longer go out to harm the world, but just kill each other here, then they will be happy to see it. So the rules of the outside world no longer apply here, and if you can't fit in, then the only thing that protects you is the law of the jungle. ”

Shen Lingshuang nodded solemnly: "It turns out that it's so dangerous, then let's go back quickly." ”

As she spoke, she was about to turn around and leave. However, Qiu Banxia had already expected this, and Shen Lingshuang was just about to lift her foot, but she directly stepped on the opponent's upper in advance, nailing that foot firmly in place.

I still use a thin heel.

"I really didn't expect you to be so brazen." Qiu Banxia helplessly held his forehead with his hand, "Anyway, take out some fighting spirit, why did I bring you here, don't you know it yourself?" ”

"Sister Qiu, can we not adopt such a radical approach? You weren't such an uninteresting person before! Shen Lingshuang cried with a sad face, "Isn't it because I lack exercise and am fat?" When I go back, I can jog for ten minutes a day or something, and I will lose weight slowly. ”

"Still avoiding the heavy?" Qiu Banxia stepped harder, "What state are you in now!" The people who came with you have started new jobs, and you're the only one who doesn't do anything every day...... Who can support you for a lifetime! ”

"Sister Qiu!" Shen Lingshuang rushed over and hugged her, "I not only treat you as a master, but also regard you as my own sister!" ”

"My sister won't support you for a lifetime." Qiu Banxia coldly pushed her away, "Let me tell you, it wasn't all my idea to bring you to Wandering Soul Street this time, there is also the meaning of 'queen' in it." ”

"She thinks so too?" Shen Lingshuang was stunned.

"The queen said that the country is in ruins, there are many places that need to be invested, and there is no spare money to support idlers." Qiu Banxia's face did not change color and her heart did not beat, "So when I asked for leave, as soon as she heard my thoughts, she agreed without hesitation." Not only did he approve my leave, but he also said a word, which completely solved my worries. ”

"What, what?"

"'If there's no cure, leave her there to fend for herself.'" ”

"Ruthless!" Shen Lingshuang was furious, "I have made meritorious contributions to her...... No, but even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. It's only been a long time, and I immediately turned my face and didn't recognize people, how could people's hearts become so fast! ”

She clasped her hands into fists and bowed to Qiu Banxia: "Master, I don't blame you, but you always have to talk about the word 'reason' in everything, even if it is a queen, you have to be reasonable." Since this is her idea, then I will go to her and ask for an explanation! ”

She turned around and ran away, but before the first step landed, the ponytail on the back of her head was grabbed by Qiu Banxia.

"The acting is still there." Qiu Banxia sneered, "Don't struggle, do you think you can leave so easily?" Let go of you now, you can get out of this street on your own, even if I lose. ”

She let go of her hand as she said, but Shen Lingshuang didn't dare to leave. The fright of Qiu Banxia made her regain some of her previous vigilance a little, and Shen Lingshuang only noticed at this time that there were eyes quietly aiming at this side at the corners of several alleys in front of her, like wolves waiting for an opportunity in the middle of the night. She turned her eyes and saw that the wild dog that was still tasting the baked cake just now had fallen asleep on the side of the road at some point, and there was no response to kicking it hard, and it was completely in a state of being slaughtered.

She shuddered.

"For them living here, every face that steps into this street is a potential prey, and the reason why they didn't shoot immediately is to see how many catties and taels the prey is." Qiu Banxia said lightly, "From the beginning, our every move was under their surveillance, the guy who sold baked cakes just now may not be able to hold his breath, or he may have come with a task of throwing stones to ask for directions, in short, through the observation of this time, they should have a general understanding of two things." ”

She pointed to herself: "I'm a tigress, I can't mess with it." ”

He pointed at Shen Lingshuang again: "And you are a broiler." ”

"!"

Shen Lingshuang was really angry this time: "I didn't know before, but now that I know what kind of place this is, that kind of indiscriminate strategy can't be effective anymore!" No matter how much I regress, I won't be weaker than these unruly guys! ”

"The world is very big, there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people on people. But I appreciate your confidence now. Qiu Banxia nodded, and put her passport and wallet into her handbag in front of Shen Lingshuang, "What I want you to do today is very simple: as long as you win these 'unpopular guys' five times in any form before sunset - it's okay to knock down in the fight, it's okay to make the other party admit defeat in the gambling game, and it is okay to take advantage of the game, as long as the five times come, I will take you back to Xifeng, otherwise please find a way to go back by yourself." If you really can't get out, it's a good idea to stay here. ”

"Understood." Shen Lingshuang clenched his fists hard, "Anyway, it's right to win." ”

"Good." Qiu Banxia finally felt a little relieved, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"I have only one small request."

"Say."

Shen Lingshuang slowly raised his hand, and then pointed firmly...... Steamed bun shop on the corner.

"Can you let me eat a full meal before I go on my way?" She cried with a sad face, "Sister Qiu, I'm really hungry!" ”
