Chapter 21: The Kraken (5)
"Well...... Try it after two laps. Hua Zhu rolled his eyes and said.
"Two laps? Good! Now? With that, Zhanjian was really ready to run two laps in the community.
Hua Zhu couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. Xie Tianqing shook his head helplessly: "Don't listen to him, he lied to you." ”
Zhanjian's face suddenly fell.
Hua Zhu looked up: "Who said I lied to him?" Doing exercise can indeed improve people's yang energy, which is mentioned in this book. ”
"Which book?" Xie Tianqing asked.
"I don't remember, but there must have been a book about it."
Zhan saw that they were arguing endlessly, and hurriedly stopped: "That...... Two, it doesn't seem like the time to talk about this, does it? ”
"That's right." Xie Tianqing reacted, "Are you ready?" When you're ready, go. ”
"Me? Do I need anything? I don't seem to have anything with me. Zhanjian patted himself all over his body, and he brought his mobile phone and home keys.
Hua Zhu smiled and said, "What Tianqing said is, do you have the courage to bring it?" If you are stunned, no one will carry you back. ”
Zhan Jian let out a long breath: "Hmm! I'm ready! ”
On the way, Xie Tianqing also bought sweet potatoes for Hua Candle, and the hot sweet potatoes were held in the palm of Hua Candle, and even his mood improved.
Hua Zhu was eating while walking, and Xie Tianqing's eyes fell on Hua Zhu's body except to look at the road.
Zhanmi felt that they didn't look like they were going to catch ghosts at all, but more like going on an outing.
Is he the only one who is afraid that his legs are weak? Aren't they human? Not scared at all?
Zhanjian saw that their hearts were full of questions, but they didn't know where to start, so they simply didn't say anything, so as not to accidentally embarrass the atmosphere.
They stood at the entrance to the upper bridge, and there was a lot of traffic around them.
Even because it is the rush hour for commuting, there is still some traffic jam on the bridge.
But the fog on the bridge today is no less than it was that day.
Zhan Jian looked at the bridge road, which was half covered by the fog: "I got on the bridge like this yesterday, and it happened halfway through that the cars and people around me were gone. ”
Hua Zhu thought for a while and looked up at Xie Tianqing: "What if only Zhanjian goes in for a while, and we don't go in?" ”
This is indeed a problem. Xie Tianqing thought for a while: "Why don't we hold him?" ”
Hua Candle suddenly realized, and then changed positions, sandwiched Zhanjian between the two of them, and grabbed his arm: "So? ”
Xie Tianqing's eyes fell on Hua Candle's hand holding Zhanjian's arm, and he felt unhappy for no reason, but he didn't say anything, just nodded his head lightly: "Hmm." And he grabbed Zhanjian's clothes.
It looks a little strange from outsiders, but it is also a last resort.
Zhan Jian looked at Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu on both sides of him, and laughed dryly: "Ha...... It's pretty secure......"
"That's it! Let's go! Hua Zhu grabbed Zhanjian's arm and walked forward.
"Wait...... Slow down. Zhanjian shouted behind the candle.
After they got on the bridge, they slowly approached the fog, but unlike yesterday, they got off the bridge very smoothly this time, and nothing happened during this time.
After getting off the bridge, they all looked at each other and were stunned, probably wondering what went wrong?
"Isn't it too early?" Xie Tianqing took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was not yet six o'clock after they got off the bridge.
"What time did you get on the bridge that day?" Hua Zhu looked at Zhanjian and asked.
Zhan Jian recalled: "It's about six o'clock, it's ......" He doesn't remember the specific time.
"Shall we wait a little longer, then?" Flower candleway.
"Hmm." Xie Tian nodded.
Zhan Jian looked at them and whispered an objection: "Could it be that we are acting too deliberately?" Which Kraken might have sensed our hostility and kept us out of the fog? ”
This is to expand the idea of understanding Tianqing and flower candles.
It's a possibility. Didn't they just want the Kraken to let down their guard so that they could also enter the fog? If even Zhanjian maintains a certain kind of hostility, then it is not impossible for the Kraken to exclude even Zhanjian.
Hua Candle's eyes rolled: "Why don't we go somewhere else first, and then go back here?" ”
Xie Tianqing and Zhanjian nodded at the same time, agreeing with Hua Candle's suggestion.
There is a large shopping mall across the street under the bridge, and there are many people in it at this time, and there are more people waiting in line to eat.
All they have to do now is try to relax themselves and not think about it. The more casual it is, the higher the likelihood of entering a dense fog.
But this is a very difficult thing for Zhan Jian, who only saw the death of his member yesterday.
Hua Zhu was very excited and excited to play with the crane machine in the playground, Xie Tianqing watched beside Hua Zhu, and his eyes squinted to Zhan Jian who was smiling with difficulty.
At this time, it is indeed very difficult to ask Zhanjian to relax and not think about this, and Xie Tianqing does not plan to embarrass him too much, after all, he is just a mortal.
"Wow! Caught! "It took more than a dozen in-game coins to catch one, but I was still very happy.
Hua Zhu pulled Zhanjian to the crane machine, and gave him all the game coins in his hand: "You come." ”
"Me? I can't, I've played it a few times, and I haven't caught it once. Zhan Jian looked helpless with a large handful of game coins in his hand.
"Try it, people will always meet good things after a long time of bad luck." Hua Zhu didn't know if he was comforting him or beating him.
Zhan Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
Xie Tianqing met the candle next to him, and in an instant, they understood what the other party was thinking.
Xie Tianqing quietly cast a spell, and Zhanjian used a game currency to catch a doll, which he didn't expect at all. With a shocked look on his face, he took the doll out of the claw grabber.
Did he really catch it?
"You're pretty good, you're trying." Flower Candle poked him with her back elbow.
Xie Tianqing also smiled on the side.
The main purpose of them doing this is to make Zhan Jian relax, if he has been looking for the Kraken with the mentality of going to catch the murderer, the Kraken will let him enter the fog and there will be ghosts!
If Zhan Jian can't get in, then Xie Tianqing can't get in like a flower candle. So what's the point of them tossing around outside for most of the day in such cold weather?
It took about forty minutes for each of them to walk out of the game hall with a bunch of dolls in their arms, and leave in the envious and jealous eyes of others.
Zhan Jian hugged the doll and said a little embarrassedly: "These game coins are all your money, otherwise I will invite you to dinner next time, right?" What do you like to eat? ”
"Fish, I'm going to eat fish." Hua Zhu also holds a doll in her hand.
Xie Tianqing smiled and didn't speak, he ate whatever Hua Zhu liked, no difference.
"Fish...... I know there's a shop that does a good job of fish, so I'll ask you to go there next time. It's just a bit far, do any of you have a driver's license? ”
They chatted as they got on the bridge, and the cold river breeze blew, and they couldn't help but hug the puppets in their hands.
About a third of the way to the position, Hua Candle stopped, and his originally playful expression suddenly became serious.
"Look around us." Flower candle reminded.
When they heard Hua Candle's words, they looked around, and they didn't know when all the cars around them disappeared, and there was not a single car passing on the wide bridge deck.
And they were covered with a thick fog in front and behind, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Zhan Jian looked a little flustered, but he forced himself to calm down, but the fear in his heart still gradually took root and sprouted like a seed, quietly spreading.
Hua Zhu turned around and saw that the yang fire on Zhan's shoulder was extinguished again, so he said, "What are you afraid of?" Aren't you here to find out the truth? Are you here to practice your guts? ”
Zhanjian swallowed his saliva and said, "You're right, but I ......"
"Nothing good. If you really want to put yourself to use, don't let fear take over your sanity, otherwise if your yang fire is all extinguished, and you will be ghosted or something, I will not be polite to you. ”
If it was usually Hua Candle, he would naturally be too lazy to talk to mortals, but now that Xie Tianqing's hand was injured, he could at most protect himself, and Hua Candle could only rely on himself, and this mortal would need them to have more strength to protect him.
It's a very troublesome thing in the first place, and bringing a very troublesome person is a troublesome duplex.
Zhan saw that he hugged the doll in his hand tightly to increase his courage, and he couldn't wait to use all the courage in his next life, he nodded: "Hmm! I know! ”
Xie Tianqing watched the yang fire on Zhanjian's shoulder burn again, and looked at the flower candle with approval.
Although he was injured this time, Hua Zhu has also grown a lot, hasn't he?
That's a good sign. Sure enough, he printed the old saying, only in adversity can he learn to grow, and he always couldn't help but protect the flower candle but affected his cultivation.
And at this moment, there was a quiet singing voice in their ears, the song had no lyrics, only a tune, and a female voice sang softly, flowing into the bottom of people's hearts, inexplicably sad.
The river breeze slowly blew across their cheeks, and the wind was mixed with singing.
They were looking around, as if looking for the source of the song, but the song came and went with the wind, and the source could not be found.
Flower Candle jumped onto the road in the middle of the bridge, and the street lamps shone on the thick fog and on the road, forming a dusk, just like the kind of bridge that often appears in horror movies.
He smelled it in the air, and there was only the earthy smell of the river, and he couldn't smell anything else.
"Flower candles, someone." Xie Tianqing also walked to Hua Candle's side, and Zhanjian was already at a loss, so it was even more impossible to stand aside alone.
"People? How could it be...... "He didn't smell anything else, how could there be anyone?"
But a figure loomed in the thick fog, and he slowly walked towards them. It wasn't until they got closer that they saw that it was the girl who had drowned in the river yesterday.
