Chapter 169: Departure to Cat Demon Town
After a long time of running, the body also reached the limit, and as soon as I fell on the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep, and I had no dreams all night. I slept very deep and long, and by the time I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Forget from the window on the second floor of the inn, you can see everything in the town, and the western sun is dreamily shrouded in the low buildings, trees, stone steps, and ferry. It presents a picture of the quiet years, only a little, or no trace of human habitation, no matter what time it is, the people here still maintain a quiet and incredible state of life.
It's time to leave for Cat Demon Town, I simply washed up, checked the rune paper magic device I carried with me, put on my bag and went downstairs to check out, the bald uncle still sat behind the counter like last night, he quietly took the key, took out the deposit directly from the drawer and handed it to me, the moment he handed the deposit to me, he said to me in a low voice: "Don't Cat Demon Town, get out of here quickly." I looked up at him, but he was already sitting behind the counter, tidying up his table, and I couldn't help but suspect that everything was just my hallucination. But he had no ill will towards me.
"No matter what, Cat Demon Town still has to go." I didn't linger anymore and turned around and walked out the door.
The town is not big, the ferry is at the end, you can find it by sparing a few stone roads, it is obviously a sunny day, looking at it from afar, but you can't see the situation of the ferry carefully, there is really a monster.
When I came to the ferry, I saw a figure who was already waiting, it was the middle-aged uncle from yesterday, he was really not as simple as it seemed, going to Cat Demon Town, what is his purpose.
I suppressed the emotion in my eyes and stood beside him quietly, he sensed that someone was coming, and he wanted to hide it a little. I didn't want to let him go, so I asked with a smile: "Uncle, are you also going to Cat Demon Town?" He didn't want to say more, so he quietly distanced himself from me with a "hmm", and I took another step closer to him, and he frowned, but probably because he didn't know my details and didn't dare to cause trouble easily, he didn't say much.
When we were at a stalemate, there was a whistle sound in the fog, and then a ferry boat slowly appeared in my sight, I quietly recited a mantra, turned into a rune paper, and used a small spell to open the eyes of the sky, and found nothing abnormal, the ferry boat and the boatman were real, without the breath of a demon.
The boatman approached the boat and docked in front of the ferry, and there were only two boatmen on board, one of them jumped lightly on the ferry, set up the pedals, and beckoned us to get on the boat, selling tickets and collecting money, and the other was only responsible for driving the boat. At first glance, it is a local resident, who works neatly and in one go.
There were only me and the middle-aged uncle waiting at the ferry, and as soon as we sat down, the boatman drove straight away. The bow of the boat had begun to leave the ferry, and I withdrew my gaze and looked ahead in the fog, my expression becoming solemn.
Just then, a shout broke my musings.
"Wait a minute, we're going to take a boat." Yesterday the group of students came after them. Probably because they were chasing too quickly, they were panting and shouting at us weakly.
"Look for death," I scolded inwardly, and pretended to be impatient to urge the boatman: "Hurry away, don't waste time." The boatman looked at me in embarrassment, and I quickly hinted to the middle-aged man and wanted him to help me say a few words, but the middle-aged man still looked like he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to say a word, and he didn't want to interfere in something that had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was unwilling to interfere, the boatman said with a haha: "How can we refuse to have guests coming, we will turn around and pick them up, and it won't take much time." ”
Seeing that I couldn't stop it, I sighed, leaned directly back in the chair and closed my eyes, too lazy to say anything more.
The ship started again, and after resting for a long time, it was awakened by a familiar voice.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the three students from yesterday were sitting in front of me, and one of the girls was also sitting next to me. ”
I nodded at her, sighed, and took the initiative to invite her: "Wait for you to get off the boat and wait for me, I'll be with you." ”
She was surprised by my sudden enthusiasm, stunned, nodded and obediently said, "Okay, okay, I'll call you." Then he got excited again and pulled me to talk to me. Before she could speak, I fell back into my chair and closed my eyes.
Silence finally fell around, and my eyelids grew heavier under the bump of the boat, and then my consciousness began to blur and I fell asleep.
I was woken up by a myriad of sounds, as if I had never heard so many sounds, and the moment I woke up was a little distorted.
When I opened my eyes, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, everywhere was brightly lit, high-rise buildings and low-rise houses came and went, and all kinds of buildings of various styles that were obviously unconnected were wonderfully connected, which made people can't help but admire the exquisiteness of the workmanship, and although it was approaching night, the streets of the town were full of pedestrians coming and going, and there were people selling goods, some people performing, some people laughing and playing, and they didn't care about the late day, which was in stark contrast to the town we passed when we came. And the most conspicuous thing here is the cat, there are cats everywhere, cats of all sizes, breeds, and colors walking through the streets, or sleeping on the roofs, and people and cats get along naturally and harmoniously.
And what scares me the most is that such a strange sight is real, not conjured, these locals, these cats, are real, and I can't detect a trace of demonic energy from them. However, there is a strong demonic aura in this town, and anyone with a little bit of Taoism can detect it. What kind of monster is it, dare to be so unscrupulous, is it really that nine-life cat demon. But he was in the dark, and I was in the light, and now I could not detect him at all.
I looked at the silent middle-aged man, I don't know if he could see the abnormality, but I couldn't see any emotion on his face, he passed by me indifferently, as if he was afraid to say more to me, and he was afraid that I would ask him something, so he hurriedly left directly, and after a while, he flashed in the crowd and disappeared. Sure enough, there are people with secrets. I just don't know if his secret is the same as mine, so I hope it's not an opponent.
The students couldn't detect the trap in front of them at all, they looked at the prosperous and unusual scene in front of them, jumped off the boat excitedly, and shouted: "Wow, it's so beautiful, there are so many cats here, it's really cute." ”
I held my forehead speechlessly, and began to suspect that it was a mistake for me to not insist on preventing them from getting on the boat just now, but what can I do, I have all spread them, I can't watch them fall into danger, I called out to one of the girls: "An An, wait for me, don't go so fast, I'm with you." ”
When the girl heard me call out her name, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over and hugged me in surprise: "Sister, how do you know my name?" Did Zhang Jie's big mouth tell you? ”
I sighed helplessly: "You guys are talking so loudly along the way, it's hard to think about it." ”
An An smiled embarrassedly, and said coquettishly: "We didn't mean it, we were too happy, too excited, I didn't expect this place to be so beautiful." It's so fun.,I'm going to introduce my classmates over in the future.,Sister, didn't you also want to come over to play after listening to us talk about Cat Demon Town? ”
I thought impatiently, it was enough trouble to protect the four of you, and I had to do another batch, and I still had to do business, besides, it was not certain that you could go out safely, and you still wanted to come back to seek death, but I could only think about these words, and I couldn't say them in front of her.
Thinking of this, I looked at the three classmates who were walking in front of her, and suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat, where are there three people in front of me, obviously there are only two left. I tried to make out the crowd if there were still only two of them, and one of them had disappeared.
I stopped An An and asked her to stop her classmates, and it was only her two classmates who found out that their companions had disappeared. I told them not to worry, and then gave each of them a small magic weapon for self-defense, and the cat demon should not be able to hurt them for the time being. After dividing the artifacts, I asked them to separate, think about where their classmates might go, and then look for them by feeling.
An hour later, we gathered here as agreed, but to our dismay, we did not find the boy, and he disappeared from under our noses, without leaving a single sign.
I reminded the two students to think about the situation and see if anyone had approached them, hoping to find a clue.
Still here was the tall boy, who was stunned when he found that his classmate was gone, and then he couldn't think of any useful clues, so I silently rolled my eyes in my heart and scolded the idiot. But he could not scold them, lest he should interfere with their thoughts.
The girl was even more useless, when she saw her boyfriend disappear, she panicked all of a sudden, and could only cry and complain: "I don't know, I don't know, how could he be missing, he was still next to me in the last second, why did he disappear all of a sudden......"
My head is going to blow up, with a weird and demonic town on one side and idiot students who have no ability to protect themselves. It was so irritating that I didn't have a clue about the damn truth, and I began to wonder if I had made the wrong decision to come to Cat Demon Town.
