The following is the text of the novel (Author: Vita Lemon Tea) provided for you, please enjoy!
At night, Long Daoling woke up and got dressed, tonight he will wander in the west of the magic capital, he also has a general understanding of the situation in the west area, the security there is not very good, and the quality is complicated, it is also the territory of some underground forces, not to mention the ghosts and monsters killing people, there are many people killing people, and it can be regarded as a dark side behind the prosperity of the magic capital, especially at night, where it is the most unsafe.
Even so, Long Dao Ling was indeed not worried about this, because his strength ordinary people could not do anything to him, and the white Qi, Hei Qi, Shura, Yaksha, Sword Ghost and Gu Demon who followed him tonight all transformed into human forms one after another, so they acted as a group tonight.
In this way, Long Daoling and his party left the community, took the subway to move in the direction of the West District, and it was very quiet at night, at this time the subway also seemed to be sparsely populated, only a few people, so the location was also very many, under the arrangement of Long Daoling, the seven of them sat down side by side.
There were people going down every time the subway arrived, and finally after a dozen platforms, only seven of them were left in the empty subway car, and the subway continued to move forward, and at this time it came to a platform and stopped, at this time no one came up, but Long Daoling saw a graceful and gorgeously dressed woman walk into the carriage in the distance.
Suddenly, the subway carriage was filled with a scent of flowers, and it smelled very good, it seemed to be emanating from this woman's body, Long Daoling did smell a familiar breath from this fragrance, and he knew what she was, and it was not an ordinary thing that appeared at this time, this woman exuded a trace of ghostly energy. However, the woman sat quietly in her seat, silently, Long Daoling didn't want to provoke her if she had something to do tonight, and she turned a blind eye.
The woman also saw the dragon Dao spirit and a few of them, and also felt the breath of the same kind, knowing that they were also unusual, so everyone did not enter the river, and sat in the subway with their own purposes, and Yaksha whispered: "Ghost master, that woman over there is a ghostly thing, do you need it..." ”
"No need, although people are ghosts, they haven't done anything, we have our own principles, don't disturb others, we still have important things to do tonight, don't delay!" Long Dao Ling also responded in a low voice.
In this way, the subway continued to drive at high speed, and after a while, there was a prompt sound from the subway that the destination had arrived, and I saw the woman slowly getting off the subway, and Long Daoling and the others also left the subway and arrived at the destination of the magic capital-the West District.
As soon as he got off the platform, Long Daoling felt that the aura in this area was very wrong, and he felt very depressed, but he quickly got used to this feeling, and the group of them walked in the aisle, and there were some homeless people sleeping around the underground tunnel, and the woman disappeared after she came out.
Long Daoling and they walked all the way to the elevator and returned to the ground, Long Daoling looked at his watch, the time was exactly 11 o'clock, he was going to go shopping in the West District, and then they finally left the subway station and arrived at the central street.
I have to say that the night in the West End is colorful, many shops here are not closed yet, some are still just open, basically 24-hour shops, but most of them are some entertainment places, those signboard lights are colorful, so that the dragon road inspiration vertigo.
Long Dao Ling felt that this area was also filled with all kinds of extremely strong ghost qi, distributed in every corner, and there were also some lonely ghosts wandering around, due to the unclear goal of the mission, now he was only looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, along the way, Long Dao Ling saw many people, which should not be called people, because they are all ghosts incarnated into human forms, lingering in the world, and there are many of them, they look the same as normal people, ordinary people are undetectable, and there are some violent incidents happening around, which is very chaotic!
At this time, Long Daoling saw the woman who appeared in the subway again, it should be said that it was a female ghost, she was walking towards a shop, Long Daoling looked up, this shop was called "Vine Flower Shop" It turned out to be a shop selling flowers.
I saw her open the door, the lights inside were on, and there were all kinds of blind flowers placed in the store, Long Daoling was very curious, it turned out to be a flower seller, how could anyone sell flowers at night, would there be a business? This ghost is quite interesting.
But what happened next made Long Daoling speechless, and after a while, there were customers who came to buy flowers, there were men and women, they seemed to have come here to patronize here, and the female ghost also received them with a friendly smile, and it didn't look like a ghost at all but a person.
Long Dao was inspired by curiosity, and asked a passer-by who had just finished buying flowers, and learned from him that the flowers sold in this flower shop were very fresh, and they smelled fragrant at home, and the smell could also refresh the mind, and when they were tired, they smelled it and the fatigue was eliminated instantly, but this shop was only open at night, and these customers only came to buy during this time period after learning about it.
Hearing what passers-by said, he also felt fresh, the first time he heard a ghost who specializes in selling flowers, he also wanted to find out, and she was doing business at night, she should know some of the situation here, and it would be good to go and find out from her by the way.
This time, Long Daoling asked Bai Qi to stay outside and wait, and entered the flower shop by himself, and the ghosts also understood his intentions, and then, Long Daoling slowly walked into the flower shop, as soon as he entered the flower shop, the fragrance came to his nose, and his spirit was also lifted.
Long Daoling's arrival also attracted the attention of the female ghost, but there were still customers around her, so she just smiled and said to Long Daoling: "Welcome, please take a look at the flowers in our store!" Long Dao Ling sensed that this ghost was very friendly, and also smiled and nodded.
Then he went to the flower shop and observed the flowers, which were so varied that he couldn't tell what was what, but there was nothing unusual about them, and he didn't know why they attracted so many people.
After a while, after those customers left, the store was deserted for a while, and now there was only one customer Long Daoling, Long Daoling also slowly walked forward, and the woman also said: "Sir, hello, what can I do to help you!" ”
Long Daoling also replied: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I saw that your business was so good, so I came to take a look and get to know you by the way!" As soon as the female ghost heard Long Daoling's words, she also smiled, she also knew that Long Daoling was not an ordinary person, and she noticed it when she was in the subway, she didn't expect him to come to her shop.
But this person didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so she talked to him, and the female ghost smiled and said: "We met, in the subway, there seemed to be a few companions around you at that time, presumably they were all following you, so that you also know what I am?" ”
Long Daoling nodded and said: "Yes, they are all very powerful ghosts, and they are my hundred ghosts, I am afraid that they will scare you when they come in together, so I asked them to wait outside, in fact, I didn't mean to follow you, but I happened to pass by here and met you again, and you are selling flowers here, so I am curious, as far as I know, it is the first time I have heard of ghosts selling things!" ”
When the female ghost heard this, she laughed and said, "It seems that you are lonely and unheard, and whoever stipulates that you can't do business like a human being if you are a ghost." As soon as this statement came out, it broke the traditional concept of Long Daoling, and he was speechless for a while.
Long Daoling felt a little embarrassed, changed the subject, and asked, "Hello, my name is Long Daoling, I don't know what to call you?" The woman smiled and said, "I don't have a name, you can just call me Xiaoman!" ”
"Little Man" is a nice name, and I feel like you're not like any other ghost, you look more like a human! Long Dao Ling expressed his doubts, and Xiao Man said: "This is because I never kill, I lack the resentment that ordinary ghosts should have, and the other thing is that I don't absorb people's souls but only absorb the aura of flowers, so I look like ordinary people!" ”
"Never kill, isn't that similar to big-headed ghosts and unkempt ghosts, but compared to them, they are more like ghosts!" Long Daoling said to himself, and Xiao Man said with a smile: "Mr. Long, you should be here so late to do something!" ”
A word woke up Long Daoling, he almost forgot his purpose, he said: "Yes, I came here to have something to do, I want to ask you, there seem to be some murders in the West District all the time, I ask you and you know what I mean, these cases are not man-made, I want to know what is lurking here, do you have clues!" ”
Xiao Man's face was not very good after hearing this, and he said slowly: "Mr. Long, this is a place where dragons and snakes gather, and I usually don't pay attention to these things to be able to run this flower shop quietly, but I have also heard about this matter, and one night I also saw someone attacked near an alley, the thing that attacked them didn't seem to be a ghost, there was a strange smell on his body, and I didn't dare to approach it at that time!" ”
After hearing this, Long Daoling asked, "You've seen it, it's great, what does he look like!" Xiao Man recalled for a moment and said: "His appearance is not clear, but he is dressed in tatters, similar to a homeless man or beggar on the street, I was afraid that he would find out and left, I don't know the rest!" ”
Although Xiao Man brought little information this time, it was already very useful to Long Dao Ling, he nodded and said, "Thank you, these are so useful to me!" Xiao Man replied: "Mr. Long, you're welcome, Mr. Long often wanders in our world, and he is half of the same kind, so I will tell you what I know!" ”
Long Daoling asked by the way: "By the way, Xiaoman, why do you open a shop at night, I can see that you are also a level 3 ghost, and you can also come out during the day!" Xiao Man said: "Do you know, I need to recover my ghost power in the morning, and I still have to cultivate these flowers in my small greenhouse, and I can only open a store in the evening!" ”
"I see!" Long Daoling said thoughtfully, and Long Daoling then said: "You are already a ghost, why are you so obsessed with running a flower shop?" Xiao Man smiled: "Didn't I tell you just now?" I feed on flowers, I nurture them for my food, and through buying and selling, I can buy seeds, continue to grow, and be self-sufficient. ”
Long Daoling was even more amazed after hearing this, this ghost could actually think of such a rational method, it was much more powerful than many ghosts, and he didn't have to rely on other forces, he was self-reliant, so that Long Daoling admired her from the heart, and the idea of taking her for his own use appeared in his heart.
Long Daoling looked at it and said, "Xiaoman, after chatting for so long, I still don't know what the hell you are from, can you tell me?" Xiao Man hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Well, it's good to talk to you, just tell you, I'm a vine eater, remember!" ”
"Vine Eater" is such a special name, Long Daoling felt that he still had too little knowledge, so he immediately handed her a business card, and then said: "Xiaoman, in fact, I also want to run a flower shop in the capital, that is my place, I will pay you to take care of it, what do you think!" ”
Xiao Man looked at his business card "Hundred Ghost Office", the name also attracted her attention, and then heard Long Daoling say that she intended to open a flower shop in the capital for her to take care of, which was something she had never thought about, and she also wanted to leave here to develop in other places, although she was a ghost, her ability was limited, after all, there were more dangers here.
Long Daoling also felt that he was a little too abrupt, it was really inappropriate to meet him for the first time, and hurriedly added: "Xiaoman, you don't have to answer me in a hurry, you think about it first, and I have to stay in the magic capital recently, and I haven't gone back so soon, after you think about it, you can go to the capital directly according to the address of the business card, you can rest assured, there are ghosts in it, and they are all my hundred ghosts, you can also rest assured that you can operate there!" ”
Saying this, Xiao Man felt more attractive, and then said: "Mr. Long, your proposal is very good, okay, I will go to the capital to meet you after I think about it, you go to your business first, don't delay!" ”
When Long Daoling heard her say this, he also smiled, and before leaving, he also turned back to her and said, "Xiaoman, remember, the Hundred Ghost Office welcomes you, I look forward to your arrival!" Xiao Man also smiled and nodded, Long Dao Ling turned around and left the vine flower shop, Xiao Man also had a good impression of this human man he just met tonight after watching him leave, and in this way, Long Dao Ling persuaded another ghost by chance, her name is "Cranberry Eater".
At this time, on the other side of the street, a man covered in blood was running on the path, he still had a pistol in his hand, and he did not seem to be a simple figure, but he showed a panicked face, as if he was being chased by something, and he was also seriously injured.
Just as he ran to the corner, a dark shadow jumped in front of him in an instant, and he shouted tremblingly: "Monster, don't come!" As he spoke, he raised his gun and fired, and several gunshots rang out, but the black shadow also rushed towards him, and then there was a heart-rending shout!
