The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

The woman with heavy makeup smashed her coat back on Ling Shucheng's face, took off her high heels in a chic manner, carried them in her hands, and walked barefoot on the slightly bumpy stone road. Flash Dance.

Ling Shucheng took off the coat with the strong smell of inferior perfume from his face, and continued to lean sideways and follow behind the woman.

The alley is only about a meter wide, and with the occasional protruding security nets and flower pots placed on iron supports, the alley is probably able to trap a lot of slightly plump or able-bodied people.

Compared with Ling Shucheng, the woman in front of her, who can almost keep a straight line forward, seems to be much more handy.

The alleyway is dimly lit, with only a few spotlights placed on the roof occasionally passing through it, reflecting the damp and mottled walls in a gloomy green and a vivid red. Except for the staggered footsteps of the two, Ling Shucheng could only hear the regular sound of water dripping from a flower pot to the ground, like a timer.

Occasionally, the shrill sound of a woman's long fingernails scratching the wall also mixes in, like the occasional snowflake spot when an old horror movie is played.

"Where have we been?" After passing through several similar lanes, even Ling Shucheng, who had always had a good sense of direction, couldn't help but ask this sentence.

"What's the hurry?" The woman's voice was completely soft and unmatched, "Or do you want to go back and die?" ”

“…… No, I'm here with someone else to do business, so I have to go back early to meet. ”

"Oh, hello friends from out of town." The woman with her back to him nodded vigorously, and then suddenly raised her voice, "Then you shouldn't jump out and be a hero!" You've got itchy skin! ”

"I ......"

"It's too late to regret it now, honestly follow my sister and me around the path." The woman looked back, her delicate makeup slightly terrifying in the crimson light, like a resentful female monster.

"But......" As soon as Ling Shucheng spoke, he was blocked back again.

"But what is it?" The woman stroked the broken hair around her ears, "Can't you see what my sister does!" What's so strange about a couple of hooligans in police skins pestering me? You're a hot-blooded kid! ”

Ling Shucheng was forced to be speechless by this series of sharp words, and only after a while did he speak with a little confidence: "But no matter what, I have to go back to the accommodation as soon as possible......"

"I know, I know, why do you keep talking about this little thing? I'm not bothered with you. 35xs" The woman looked at him with a frown, "and where do you live?" ”

"Zone A, E."

“…… You repeat? ”

Ling Shucheng was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the signage again: "Area A, E...... Any questions? ”

"Of course there is a problem, do you know how the average person would read it?" The woman asked rhetorically.

Ling Shucheng frowned. He vividly remembered the "A-E" on the road signs that were up to ten meters away from his accommodation.

“…… Few people will pronounce the name of the neighborhood in the back as 'epsilon' pronounced in the Greek alphabet, this pronunciation is difficult to remember and awkward, although it was set by the people above in the early years, but it has never been read like this by ordinary people. The woman squinted and took two steps closer, "It's harder for outsiders to get it right the first time." ”

Is this called "capsizing in the gutter"? Ling Shucheng thought. However, his face was still calm: "The ship I belong to also has such a place name, and I am used to reading it." ”

"Really? It seems that the people on our side are uneducated. The look on the woman's face seemed to indicate that she wasn't convinced, "But to tell you the truth, I don't think you really look like you're out on a boat...... I've come into contact with those people, and most of them are philistine and cautious, not like you. ”

"The first time I came back, I used to be a teacher." Ling Shucheng tried to succinctly extract excuses from his own character.

"What's your name?"

Lin ...... Honest. Ling Shucheng stumbled slightly.

"Okay, hello Mr. Lin, I'm Gan Yao." The woman held out her hand to him solemnly.

Ling Shucheng hesitated slightly, took off the gloves that were stained with dust when he was moving things in the afternoon, and shook his hand weakly, but the other party grabbed his hand tightly. 35xs

"You can make it up." Gan Yao looked up at him, "You're definitely not here to run the boat...... Even if you come with the boat, you don't come here with the purpose of making money. I've seen more men in my life than you'll ever see in your life, and you're the kind of person you grew up in a privileged family environment, and you treat people with a pedantic air - do you know where most people stare at me when they see me? Ah, it's not like you who keep looking at the ground anyway. ”

"I don't have the need to be honest with you." Ling Shucheng used some force to pull his hand back, "Just as you told me, don't be too troublesome." ”

"I saw you go to the bar where the accident happened." Gan Yao suddenly spit out a few words.

“…… What do you mean? ”

"As an outsider, it should be difficult for you to inquire about a sensitive matter." Gan Yao took two steps back and turned his back to him, "Do you know how lively that bar has been lately?" After the death of the person, there were at least ten sneaky people who looked at it for a while in two days, so that there were people who were guarding it all day. ”

"What do you think I am?"

"The bartender came to me a few days before he died, and entrusted me with something." Gan Yao suddenly fumbled in the pocket inside his coat for a while, and threw a key back at will, but Ling Shucheng stepped forward steadily to catch it.

She turned her head and smiled again: "He said that if something happened to him, he would hand this thing over to the people on the 'Pangu' who came to find him...... I think the Eight Achievements are you. ”

Ling Shucheng subconsciously touched the hat with the words "Changning" printed on his head, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

"Do you want me to say it openly? Entertainment workers. Gan Yao spread his hands indifferently, "I've dealt with too many people, of course I know which boat came from where. ”

Seeing that Ling Shucheng was about to speak and stopped, Gan Yao kindly continued: "If you want to ask him why he would hand over such an important thing to someone like me, I can tell you briskly...... None of the people on this street who do my job are simple, and everyone knows it. I was supposed to do things for the above...... As a result, the above has been changed too quickly recently, and no one has paid attention to me for a long time. ”

"If you've been working for your so-called 'above' in the past, our informants shouldn't have had a chance to have something happen at this point in time." Ling Shucheng leaned against a relatively flat wall, "Since we can't trust each other's words, let's put forward the conditions for exchanging information on an equal footing." ”

"What I want to know, you certainly can't tell me. And what you want to know, I may not tell the truth...... Do you want to ask about it too? Gan Yao kicked the stone at his feet away and tilted his head to look at him.

Ling Shucheng glanced at the time and decided not to talk nonsense: "About this key...... Did he simply give you this key? Didn't explain anything more? Like what it's used for. ”

"No, he's a very cautious and professional guy – more professional than you." Gan Yao looked up, looked at the dark "sky" between the cracks in the house—or the floor on the first floor of the upper floor—and suddenly asked, "Are you in a hurry to go back now?" ”

"Hurry." Ling Shucheng's tone was steady, "So please say it quickly, or don't say it at all." ”

"What's the hurry......" Gan Yao's voice had a murmuring meaning, "although we can't see the moon when we are locked indoors...... But today is a full moon night, a big day for many people. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know how I first discovered the way through these corners?"

As soon as Gan Yao's words fell, the bell rang at zero o'clock, all the spotlights were suddenly turned off, and the alley became pitch black in an instant.

As soon as Ling Shucheng got used to the darkness, he vaguely saw that Gan Yao seemed to be looking up at the sky all the time.

But what's so good about that? Inside the closed ship, there will be neither stars nor moonlight.

In the next second, he saw a few white points of light that looked like stars suddenly appeared on the pitch-black "canopy".

“…… How? As an outsider, Ling Shucheng was a little dazed.

"Shh Gan Yao seemed to be feeling something in his pocket, and motioned for Ling Shucheng to be quiet first.

There were more and more white points of light, from the few sparse grains dotted on the black curtain before, into a narrow galaxy, and gradually flowing in one direction.

Flowing? Ling Shucheng blinked, confirming that it was not his own dazzle.

Gan Yao finally took out a gadget in the faint light. She flipped the switch, and immediately a bright white light shone on the wall.

"Heavenly...... It's all this? Ling Shucheng took the miniature spotlight in her hand and reacted.

Suddenly there was the footsteps of another person behind him, Ling Shucheng waved his hand to signal Gan Yao not to make a sound first, and to turn off the spotlight first, but Gan Yao shook his head with a smile.

After a while, another beam of white light shone beside Ling Shucheng. He covered his eyes and heard someone say, "Why don't you stand and go that way?" The road is blocked? ”

"No, it's my friend's 'Hand Star' that was lost on the road, and we're discussing whether to go back and find it."

"It's okay, sincerity is spirituality, Lord Moon Bird won't care." The person who came was a well-dressed young man.

"I'm also trying to persuade him, after all, it's a big day once a month." Gan Yao regained his soft tone, "Maybe he is the lucky one chosen by Lord Yuelu this month, what a pity if he misses it." ”

"yes, let's go together." The young man's tired and blue face carried a strange fanaticism, and he pushed Ling Shucheng who was in the way.

Ling Shucheng only glanced at Gan Yao lightly, and walked forward with this force.

Out of the narrow alley, crowds of people are emerging from small corners in all directions and merging onto this slightly wider side road. Men and women, young and old, all held a small light source in their hands, and their faces were turned a horrible white.

Except for the occasional cry of babies coming from the rooms of the surrounding residents whose lights had turned off, there was no one in the marching crowd talking or laughing.

Ling Shucheng had to follow the flow of people, and his eyes never dared to leave the back of Gan Yao's head.
