This shout was quite sharp and piercing, and Xiao Zhong Huang, who was about to talk to me at length, heard this voice, his face changed, and said to me Wait, and then hurriedly ran out, I couldn't figure out the situation, and then walked out, and saw a woman who was not inferior to the fat girl just now, who was pinching the waist of the fat pile, and scolded Xiao Zhong Huang at the door.

The two old men who were lying on the bamboo chairs and pretending to sleep stood up, the tall man who was squatting in the corner of the wall to watch the ants also came, and the fat girl Fat Flower and the hennie in the potential water all got up to watch.

It was then that I realized that the strong man was really tall, and he stood there like a wall.

That tall man, I'm afraid it can't be more than two meters, right?

I walked into the courtyard and heard the woman scolding, and Xiao Zhonghuang turned around helplessly, walked up to me, and whispered, "Brother Xiaohou, do you have any money in your hands?" Jianghu emergency. ”

I said what's wrong?

Xiao Zhonghuang said that this is the landlord, and Brother Ma has not paid the rent for two months, and she said that if we don't pay it again, he will drive us away.

As soon as I heard it, I subconsciously looked at a few adults next to me, but I didn't expect the eyes of the two old men to drift, as if it was none of their business, the tall man looked over, but he grinned with his original mighty appearance, and suddenly made people feel that his IQ was a little problematic, like a stupid big man.

The people in this yard are like a normal human being.

I asked for help, but I didn't dare to take it, and asked, "How much?" ”

Xiao Zhonghuang licked his lips, and then said tentatively: "What, one thousand five, do you have it?" ”

I came over this time, I had already been mentally prepared, and I also had money in my wallet, so I took out my wallet and counted fifteen old man's heads to him, Xiao Zhonghuang took it, turned around and handed it to the landlord who was like a pig, but the girl took the money, counted it with spit, and actually looked at me mockingly, and said to Xiao Zhonghuang: "Where did you find the wronged head?" ”

Xiao Zhonghuang lowered his head and said Take the money back, you ask so much.

The landlord left, we went back to the living room, and Xiao Zhong Huang said to me, "Let you see the smile." ”

I said you're polite, everyone has times when they're in a dilemma - by the way, where did you just go, let's go on.

Xiao Zhong Huang said, Have you heard of the Ranger League?

I shook my head and said no.

Xiao Zhong Huang said seriously: "You haven't heard of it, that's normal, after all, this kind of thing, not people in the circle, few people have heard of this name; So let's ask in a different way, what do you think is going on with these things that happened to you? ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhonghuang seemed more serious because of my generous behavior just now, I couldn't help but get serious and replied, "Isn't it...... What the hell? ”

Xiao Zhong Huang shook his head and said that in this world, there is no such thing as ghosts, even if you have heard it, it is misinformation.

I was stunned and said, "What is that?"

Xiao Zhong Huang said that you should have offended the Nightcrawler.

I was stunned and said, What is a Nightcrawler?

Xiao Zhong Huang said solemnly: "I am now saying with empty teeth, you may not believe it, but Brother Ma told me that the ancestors of human beings were apes, but in fact, there are still many beasts that have gained wisdom in the long process of survival and evolution, but they have failed for various reasons in the long-term competition with the 'humans' evolved by apes, and finally there is no way to become the mainstream." Some of them live in seclusion in the inaccessible mountains and rivers, living in isolation, while others try to change themselves and blend in with the crowd - the former has become a mountain spirit and a wild monster, leaving behind many folklore, while the latter has been in a long process of mixing, some have revealed their identities and have been cut off since then, while others have lived and multiplied with humans and completely integrated into human society. “

Speaking of this, he raised his head, stared at me seriously, and then said: "Those who have been integrated into human society, passed down from generation to generation, some have maintained dominant genes, and have become the Nightcrawler family, while others have become recessive genes and have completely become human beings, and if there is no certain opportunity, they will be wiped out forever......"

"Nightcrawler?"

I repeated these three words in my mouth, and it felt like a fantasy, and Xiao Zhonghuang said: "Yes, some people call them demons, but for them themselves, 'the abnormality of things must be demons', which is a very dejorative and discriminatory word for them, and it is also very narrow, they prefer to call themselves 'night walkers', the human race that is not recognized by the mainstream society, humans in the narrow sense, evolved from apes, and they are the evolution of all races, and that's it." ”

I said, why are you telling me this?

Xiao Zhong Huang smiled and said You still haven't understood? It is very likely that you have inherited the invisible gene of the Nightcrawler, and it is precisely because of this that you are targeted, which leads to a series of things that will happen later.

I frowned, couldn't help but panic, and said What are you talking about, how is this possible?

Xiao Zhong Huang said: "As far as I know, the life and death flower, after the average person takes it, will immediately enter a state of suspended animation, if you don't get the antidote within three days, it will directly enter brain death and become real death, the only exception is the night walker, or people with the stealth gene of the night walker, or the bloodline." ”

When he said this, I still couldn't believe it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then why did I bleed from the wound, and I couldn't feel the temperature at all at that time, and my whole body was cold." ”

Xiao Zhonghuang rubbed his head and said with a smile: "It is estimated that you have been planted with Qiming Gu, which is why you are like this." ”

I said, what is Qiming Gu?

Xiao Zhong Huang said that this is a kind of medicine, which can quickly reveal the hidden Nightkin bloodline in your body in a short period of time, so that you have the power of a Nightkin and have the possibility of becoming a real Nightkin.

I wondered, what does it mean to say that it is possible?

Xiao Zhong Huang smiled and said You think it's easy to become a Night Stalker? If in the process of transformation, if your body can't withstand the fission of genes and the spread of blood vessels, there will be another possibility, that is, death due to organ failure throughout the body, yes, it is like having a terminal illness, there is no cure.

Hearing this, whether I believe it or not, I couldn't help but scold: "I'll go, isn't this harming Lao Tzu?" ”

Xiao Zhonghuang said, what kind of kindness do you think those guys from Wei Chi will have? That's what they do, if you can stand it and become a nightcrawler, those people will appear at the first time and win you over, and if you can't stand the pain and die of physical failure, they will lose a bottle of Qiming Gu at most, as for your life and death, do you think they will care?

My heart jumped, and I said, "What do you know about that Wei Chi?"

Xiao Zhong Huang nodded and said yes.

He didn't seem to want to say too much, and when I got to the point, I looked at this little boy who was as calm as a little adult, and finally couldn't help asking, "What about you, who are you?" Nightcrawler? ”

Xiao Zhong Huang shook his head and said no, no, we are not Nightcrawlers, to be precise, Brother Ma and I are not Nightcrawlers - we are from the Ranger League.

I frowned, and said Ranger League? What the hell is this?

This name is incomparably second, and I am embarrassed to hear it, but Xiao Zhonghuang has a serious face.

He said: "Although the Ranger Alliance has only a history of hundreds of years, its predecessor is a big river and lake, Daomen, Buddhism, martial arts and court, all have masters sitting in the town to inherit, but in the early Qing Dynasty, after the promulgation of the 'ban on martial arts', the rivers and lakes were scattered, and countless predecessors in the middle of the alliance invested in the Tiandihui, the Red Flower Society and other political organizations against the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Qing court, resulting in the middle of the Qing Dynasty The demons were all over the place, rampant, and the business alliance of people of insight left by the ban on martial arts and the vicissitudes of a hundred years was taken as the name of the most famous ranger in the Han DynastyThe Ranger League, known as the Ranger League, is an alliance of broad meaning designed to combat evil night walkers. ”

Listening to these secrets, which are like little talking books, I rubbed my forehead and said what do you mean, nightcrawlers are all bad people?

Xiao Zhong Huang said that it is not true, there are good and bad people, and so are the night walkers, especially those night walker families who hide human society, they are completely adapted to normal human life, carefully hide their identities to live, and never act rashly, but there are also some recessive genes and bloodline awakened night walkers, because there is no one to guide them, and they rashly gain power, they will do some evil things that violate the law, and even kill people and set fires, and run rampant, plus some mountain demons and wild monsters hidden in the mountains and forests, wild fields and outside the territory, it will also be the same, That's why we need to exist.

After listening to his story, I looked at him for a while, looked outside again, and said that I feel that your alliance is not very strong, and I can't even pay the rent.

Xiao Zhong Huang coughed awkwardly and said this...... Because of some changes, the Ranger Alliance is no longer close now, and everyone lives their own lives, but let me tell you, the Ranger Alliance a hundred years ago, that was called Zhenqiang, Tiger Head Taibao Sun Lutang, Wudang Sword Immortal Li Jinglin, Divine Spear Li Shuwen, Half-step Collapse Fist Shang Yunxiang, Arm Saint Zhang Ce, Northern and Southern Hero Du Xinwu, Jiangnan First Foot Liu Baichuan, Dart Li Yaochen, Jade-faced Tiger Han Muxia, Thousand Jin Wang Ziping...... That's the flag of the Alliance.

I didn't know any of these names, so I was dizzy when I heard them, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do with this?" ”

Xiao Zhong Huang looked at me seriously and said I want to ask you first, do you want to become a night walker and gain the power of the bloodline, or do you want to become an ordinary person and return to your own life?

Without thinking, I said, "Of course I went back to my own life, I don't have the heart to get involved in your affairs and play with you." ”

Hearing my decision, Xiao Zhonghuang was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and then said: "This matter, in the entire southern ground, only one person can help you solve it." ”

Who am I talking about?

Xiao Zhong Huang snapped his fingers and said Liang Shikuan and Teacher Liang of the Pingxue Palace in Meizhou Town.
