Chapter 67: Ghost Town
readx;
After a day and night, Long Daoling and the others passed through several nearby towns, and finally reached the only small town in the vicinity of Loulan, which was not marked on the map and was not known for the time being. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Due to the fact that this town is close to the border of the desert, it looks a little dilapidated, the town is very sparsely populated, and perhaps the environment here is relatively harsh, not only is the climate very dry, but it is unusually cold at night.
Long Daoling and his party got out of the car near the town, and he immediately put the car ghost back in the book, it was inevitable that it would be too weird to drive a sports car in such a place, and he decided to walk into the town with Rosa, Red Sleeves, and a few tourists like water ghosts, fire ghosts, speed ghosts, and flashing ghosts.
As they walked, they looked around, the surrounding buildings were also very retro, there were no high-end places such as hotels or hotels in the big cities, but since it was frequented by travelers and adventurers, the town also opened a facility for these people according to the needs of the market-inn.
At this time, Long Daoling had already seen the small house next to the zhongyāng place on the street, which said "There is an inn", which looked quite interesting, Long Daoling looked at the name and thought that he had traveled to ancient times, but now this retro style is popular in many places and hotels.
After taking the plane and sitting in the car for such a long time, Long Daoling just wanted to find a place to settle down and eat something at this time, and take a good rest, after all, the location of the Loulan Ghost Domain is in the desert, and there is no accurate location yet, so it takes time to investigate.
And he is still a human body, of course, there is no shortage of human feelings, so he walked into this inn with all the ghosts, in addition to accommodation, there are also a few tables in the hall, and it also provides a place for guests to eat, but it is relatively simple.
Long Daoling didn't care about it, and then walked to the counter, in front of the counter was a local resident, a middle-aged woman, but she looked five big and three thick, like a female man, seeing Long Daoling and them coming, she didn't have much enthusiasm, just asked coldly: "Is it staying in the hotel?" ”
"Yes, I need to book three rooms, I don't know if there are any?" Long Daoling said politely, the female man was expressionless, and then said: "Yes, pay the money first and then housing!" ”
Long Daoling felt that the other party was very cold, and thought, it should be cold, stay in these places all day long, it is strange not to be indifferent, so he didn't say more, paid the money and followed the female man upstairs, this small building is very low, only three stories high, Long Daoling and a few of them are arranged on the third floor.
However, after Long Daoling went upstairs, he found that there seemed to be no guests on the entire floor, only a few of them lived here, and it seemed very deserted, and after the middle-aged woman arranged it for them, she told Long Daoling that they should not run around the town if they had nothing to do at night, his expression was still indifferent, and he didn't say any reason, Long Daoling felt that it didn't matter, it was better, and he didn't have to be disturbed by others.
The rooms in this inn are okay, there are halls and rooms, of course, this can't be compared with the hotel suite, and then the room was assigned, Red Sleeves and Rosa live in one, and the water ghost, fire ghost, swift ghost and flash ghost live in one, they are ghosts and there is no problem with making do with one, and Long Daoling lives in one by himself.
After arranging, Long Daoling walked into the room and closed the door, walked straight to the bed, and lay down on it, there was a window next to the bed, Long Daoling gently opened the window, a breeze came to his face, and from the window he could see the scene on the street, and he could see the desert scene in the distance. At this time, Long Daoling took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, sat on the bed and smoked, and the smoke rings spit out of the window one by one.
I don't know if it's the climate and environment here, Long Daoling didn't have much appetite this time, just took out some instant noodles and bread from his backpack and ate them casually.
The two female ghosts of Red Sleeves and Rosa are also very boring, relatively speaking, Red Sleeves is quieter, she is still dressed in red, with long black hair and a shawl, sitting on the edge of the bed very beautifully, Rosa is also very bored, and she usually doesn't get along with Red Sleeves alone, so she took the opportunity to come over and pull Red Sleeves to chat, as for the content of the conversation, it is unknown.
In the other room, the water ghost, the fire ghost, the speedwalker, and the flashing ghost stayed in it but it was very lively, the flashing ghost had not long joined, and many things were not clear, and the speedwalker patiently explained to him along the way, and now he and the three of them were very familiar.
The swift ghost said: "Why doesn't the ghost master let everyone come out, only a few of us are bored?" After hearing this, the fire ghost also said, "Yes, let the reggae, the wind ghost, the shadow ghost, and the echo ghost." It's best that all the ghosts will come out, and this is lively! ”
After hearing this, the water ghost smiled and said, "Do you think it's in the Hundred Ghost Office?" The ghost lord is going to fight with others with us this time, and if they all come out, they will not expose their strength, but the ghost master thinks more thoughtfully than you! ”
When the fire ghost heard it, he also felt that it made sense, and when the time came, he could kill the other party by surprise, and the ghost master really thought thoughtfully, and then, the fire ghost said: "Then let's stop thinking about this, find some other fun!" ”
"What's the fun?" The water ghost asked, the fire ghost smiled weirdly, actually took out a deck of playing cards in his hand, and said, "This is what I got from the car ghost, we usually play in the office, now is the right time to pass the time, how about it?" ”
The water ghost and the swift ghost raised their hands in agreement when they heard this, and the flashing ghost was a person in the previous world, and he also knew a little about poker, and under the teaching of these ghosts, he quickly got started, and then, these four ghosts gathered on the floor and began to play poker, which is also a big surprise.
Long Daoling was already asleep at this time, I don't know if it was because of the environment here, when he closed his eyes, he felt that the sky was spinning, his soul seemed to be out of his body, and he was not under his control, circling around the house, he was sleeping, although his body could not move, but his inner consciousness was very clear.
He seemed to be shuttling between reality and dreams, in which he saw some strange scenes and some strange characters, he seemed to have come to a strange city, a city like an ancient palace, which was both illusory and real, and he also saw some guys in strange black clothes walking back and forth.
However, in reality, there was a black power around Long Dao Ling, which instantly covered him, and this strange scene did not attract the attention of the hundred ghosts next door, and it seemed to be as quiet as usual.
At this time, Long Daoling suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes became very weird, black sè covered his eyes, he floated up in the air, slowly standing on the ground, walking back and forth in the room, looking unconscious, as if he was sleepwalking, Long Daoling's abnormal phenomenon in the room did not attract the attention of the hundred ghosts next door, and after a while, his body slowly returned to the bed again and lay down, continuing to stay asleep, and nothing else happened.
Time passed minute by minute, Long Daoling slept very deeply, when he woke up, it was already night, he was unaware of what had just happened, and at night the temperature here was low, it seemed unusually cold, Long Daoling was also affected by this cold air, and hurriedly got up and closed the window.
When he closed the window, he took a look at the scene outside, and sure enough, the remote town was different from the metropolis, and now it was dark and quiet, only a street lamp in the street emitted a dim yellow light, and with this climate, it made people feel very sad.
Long Daoling didn't feel sleepy at this time, took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against the window, and drank it alone, when he came here in the morning, he was tired and didn't see this place carefully, and now he had a chance, he elegantly lit a cigarette and admired himself to the scenery outside the window.
The streets of the town seem ordinary, but in fact they are not simple, because this is the closest place to Loulan, and many unusual things often happen here, and Long Daoling has also investigated a little before, so he also has a trace of caution about this place after coming here.
When he stepped into this place, he had already discovered many problems here, not only the atmosphere around the town, but also the residents here, and the words that the middle-aged woman said to him also explained the problem, he kept these in his heart, and kept silent for the time being, after all, his purpose was not here but the ghost domain.
However, Long Daoling woke up at this time, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he watched the scene outside curiously, and by the way, he learned what was wrong here, and when he finished smoking this cigarette, the time happened to be 12 o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the dark streets gradually become "lively", from the ground, from the nearby houses, there are actually a lot of white figures, as well as some strange, unrecognizable guys, wandering the streets, at first glance than in the daytime.
This scene was all seen clearly by Long Daoling, he was puzzled, in his eyes, these figures were not people, they were all ghosts, if ordinary people saw this kind of scene, they would have been so frightened that they closed the windows and hid in the bed to shiver.
Long Dao Ling had already felt that the ghost aura was extremely strong at this time, almost all over the town, in other words, this town was a ghost town, and few of them seemed to be alive, no wonder he saw that this place was so sparsely populated in the morning, which also corresponded to his keen sense earlier.
Long Dao Ling thought to himself, before he arrived in the ghost domain, he advanced to the ghost town, it seems that it is not easy for people here, to live in one place with so many ghosts, although he also lives with ghosts, but for ordinary people, this is a nightmare.
Long Daoling made a visual inspection, obviously most of them were some low-level, but extremely resentful ghosts, so he was not very interested, he did not make a noise, quietly looked at the scene outside, and thought, what is the reason why this place has become a ghost town infested by ghosts at night?
Thinking about it, Long Daoling poked his head out of the window, carefully watching the every move of the ghosts below, suddenly, a gust of wind came late, Long Daoling was a little careless, the cigarette butt in his hand fell, and the cigarette butt emitting red light was very prominent in the darkness, drawing a trajectory in the air, slowly falling to the ground, and popping out a little spark.
However, the ghosts wandering below seemed to sense the anomaly, and looked at the place where the cigarette butt had fallen, and after a while, they sensed the breath of the human being, and all of them looked at the top of the inn.
Long Dao Ling's figure was exposed to their eyes, and a voice came out of nowhere: "Someone is watching us!" Immediately, the appearance of those ghosts became more photographable, and they moved towards the top of the inn, some crawling, some floating, etc., accompanied by a burst of ghost howls, which made people feel creepy.
Long Daoling shook his head and said to himself: "Alas, it seems that I can't sleep tonight!" He slowly retracted into the room and closed the window, and Redsleeves and Rosa, who lived next door, also sensed that the ghost aura outside was very strong, and also looked at the window slightly.
Redsleeves was surprised for a moment, and said to Rosa: "Why are so many ghosts here all of a sudden, it looks like they are coming towards us!" Rosa laughed; Hehe, maybe it's an enemy, but do you and I still need to worry about these guys? Red Sleeves also showed a disapproving smile after hearing this, and the two female ghosts walked out of the room in pairs.
At this time, several ghosts had already climbed up to the window on the second floor, and they were like corpses, each of them pounced on the window with their teeth and claws, one of them had already entered the room where Long Daoling was, and the other entered from the room next to it.
The fire ghosts, the water ghosts, the swift ghosts, and the flashing ghosts, were very engaged in playing, and they also felt the breath, but they ignored them, perhaps they felt that these ghosts were not worth mentioning to them.
At this time, a female ghost with violent eyes broke into the room where the four of them were, but unfortunately, the female ghost could not see the situation clearly, and let out a ~ah~ scream, and then was hit head-on by a fireball, and the attack knocked her out of the room and out of the window.
It was the fire ghost who used this attack, and I saw him wave his hand lightly, his eyes still stayed on the playing cards, and he said with a smile: "Keep going, until I play the cards!" The water ghost and the swift ghost still looked the same, only the new arrival of the flash ghost did not know the situation, and after a little glance at the direction in which the female ghost flew out, the water ghost added: "Don't look at those boring things, it's up to you!" ”
After hearing this, the flash ghost ~oh~ sighed, and then buried his head and continued to have fun with a few of them, ignoring the things outside at all.
