Chapter 40: The Little Girl Who Lifted the Jack-o-lantern

"Hey, I'm Uncle Gun, and I've arrived at the designated location."

"Xiaolin, arrive at the designated location."

"Lucky, it's here."

"Report to the captain, I'm Wei Wei, and I've arrived at the designated location!"

“……”

From time to time, the reports of the team members came from the headphones, and Wei Wei was also very enthusiastic to participate in it.

Before dark, they had each come to the two intersections outside the pedestrian street in the fifth block of the scrap iron city, found a vacant seat under the no parking sign and stopped, looked at the bustling crowds and shops around, smelled a strong breath of life in their mouths and noses, followed the fragrance and looked over, and saw a small cart selling fried noodles on the street corner in the distance, and business was booming.

But the thought that I was at work couldn't help the damn temptation for the time being.

"Roger."

The communicator rang the captain's reply: "Pay attention to Feifei's position, and make sure that at least two pairs of eyes are looking at her at the same time." ”

"Yes."

"Understood."

"Got it."

"Roger, Captain!"

“……”

"Xiao Wei's voice should not be so loud, let's be small, you relax."

Captain Ouyang said: "Now Feifei should also be in place, see what she is doing." ”

"Report to the captain, she's eating popsicles......"

Uncle Gun replied loudly: "The little girl's family doesn't care about her figure at all, and this time it's the third one." ”

Captain Ouyang: "Alas......"

……

……

"Alas......"

Ye Feifei was in an extremely bad mood, pinching the popsicle and sighing.

I came to the base early in the morning, and I saw that the people in the team left in a panic, and I saw that there was a task, but I didn't mean to call myself at all, and I felt a little wronged in my heart, and I waited for a while, I wanted to wait for another intern to come over, and discuss it with him, but I didn't expect Wei Wei to have never come to the team, and when I thought about it, I must have been called directly to the scene.

I was wronged, and I was not energetic to patrol the streets, so I bought a popsicle and sat on the road in a daze to watch the pedestrians coming and going.

Unexpectedly, when the mood was gloomy, Uncle Gun made a serious phone call.

Say that there is a task to yourself.

At that time, he was suddenly ecstatic, ignoring the eyes of passers-by, and immediately stood up and replied: "I promise to complete the task." ”

Then she was sent to the Fifth Block to continue patrolling the streets.

What's in the picture?

A call so solemn to himself, but he just changed places to patrol the streets?

The point is, after so long, I haven't even seen a shadow of them.

What is this for?

I secretly solved a big case, but I moved myself around to exercise?

I didn't answer the phone again.

Seeing that the sky is getting dark, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, just let me patrol the streets, I actually have to work overtime to patrol the streets today......

I bought a few more popsicles in my anger, which was expensive.

……

……

"Is there a problem with Feifei?"

"Nope."

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Nope."

“……”

The communicator resounded every five minutes for a routine Q&A.

Wei Wei sat in the jeep, his legs on the steering wheel, lazily smoking a cigarette, and occasionally rushing to answer.

Next to the rearview mirror, there is a plush head pendant.

But the thing was dormant, with its eyes and mouth tightly closed, and it was shaken twice by the wind from time to time.

Wei Wei waited patiently, his eyes lazily swept through the crowd on the side of the road, only to see that more and more people came out to consume at night in the distance, squeezing the fried noodle stall on the street into three layers inside and three layers outside, and the slightly burnt and slightly pasty scrambled eggs and fried sausages tasted far away like a demon's whisper, burrowing into his nostrils, making his stomach burst into flames, and he felt a little restless.

Hold back, it's at work, no, more serious than work, performing tasks.

Wei Wei told himself in his heart, trying his best not to look at the little goblin.

At the same time, Captain Ouyang had already walked into the shampoo room on the edge of the road, without smiling and with a serious expression:

"What's the wash?"

"Regular?"

"What am I doing here?"

"That's right......"

“……”

Xiao Lin walked leisurely in the night market, attracting the attention of countless men.

Sister Lucky sat on the front of the dark blue sports car, already holding a cocktail with a small paper umbrella in her hand.

"Boss, ten more mutton ......"

Uncle Gun sat in front of the food stall, and the master greeted him, and he had already drunk three bottles.

……

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, the popularity is boiling to the extreme, and there are fireworks everywhere.

Then the night deepened, and the flow of people gradually diluted.

The lively atmosphere receded and not only retreated, but also made the streets that were already accustomed to empty have a touch of loneliness, even the street lamps that had been on seemed to be dimmed, scattered garbage bags, whispering and rolling on the street.

Wei Wei ate three boxes of fried noodles, and then reluctantly watched the stall take it back, and the old couple pushed and left.

There were no more people on the streets, only stray dogs and drunken people.

The people in the team have also passed the excitement brought by the initial mission, and began to enter a period of depression and doubt, they have been here for seven hours, but they have never encountered any abnormalities, just like the date partner has not arrived for a long time, which not only makes people doubt in their hearts, is it possible to say, tonight is destined to be a dry night, and they can't meet that thing?

According to Kobayashi's analysis, that thing will still appear tonight, and there will be more than a hundred victims.

But if Ye Feifei can't catch it, he can only watch more than 100 people suffer?

Wei Wei not only had this question in his heart, he could feel that the routine inquiries of the team members in the communicator every five minutes seemed to be much lowered, and in the long and uncertain wait, the enthusiasm in his heart was being worn out little by little.

The lights were getting dimmer and dimmer, as if they had lost all their strength, and even began to turn on and off.

On the empty streets, a thin mist has risen at some point, and it circulates in the old streets. I don't know if it's too quiet around, but there are always some inexplicable sounds in my ears. The wind in the night was much colder, blowing in through the car window, blowing a layer of hair on the skin. In the distance, the stray dog suddenly whined, turned in circles and bit its tail.

Wei Wei was awakened by the cold wind soaked in the cold, and suddenly felt startled, and saw a sneaky figure through the rearview mirror.

He staggered, his steps crooked, like a marionette.

Wei Wei lay in the driver's seat and did not move, watching the figure get closer to him little by little, and then swayed forward.

I regretted it slightly, it turned out to be a drunk drunk.

Reluctantly letting go of the handle of the gun, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a crisp voice ringing in his ears:

"Big brother, can I ask you for directions?"

“……”

Wei Wei held his breath for a moment and slowly turned his head.

There seemed to be a fog lifting, and he saw a little girl with a jack-o'-lantern next to the car, looking at him.

I don't know when she appeared, maybe she came to the car when her attention was attracted by the drunk, she looked very young, only seven or eight years old, wearing a small dark red trench coat, her face was unusually pale, and she had two small braids on her head, which were not usually long, and she looked timid, as if she was shivering in the cold wind of the night, and her eyes looked at her dullly.

Wei Wei also looked at her quietly, and slowly, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"Hello, little sister......"

The little girl looked at Wei Wei fixedly, and the pumpkin lantern in her hand grinned: "Big brother, can I ask you for directions?" ”

Wei Wei smiled even kinder: "How old are you?" ”

The little girl waited for a while, and then said, "Big brother, I can ...... you"

"What are you doing so late?"

Wei Wei interrupted her and said with a smile, "Where are your parents?" ”

The little girl fell silent, and after a while, she suddenly picked up the little pumpkin lantern and slowly turned her head and walked forward.

"Click......

But just as she turned around, suddenly the sound of a bullet loading sounded behind her.

Wei Wei poked his head out of the car, pointed the muzzle of the gun at her face, and there was a little more danger in his gentle smile:

"I told you to go?"

“……”

The little jack-o-lantern girl froze suddenly.

And Wei Wei looked at this little girl with satisfaction, I don't know why Ye Feifei, who was guarded in the middle, didn't encounter an abnormal situation, but he ushered in such a strange little girl here first, but he was still in a good mood and picked up the communicator thrown on the steering wheel, stuffed it into his ear, pressed the button, and said with a smile: "Captain, I found an abnormal situation here." ”

The mood is still very good.

Ye Feifei's catastrophic physique, he didn't encounter anything strange first, but he encountered it first.

Sure enough, I was lucky.

"Rustling ......"

But he didn't expect that after the voice fell, the sound of electricity sizzling sounded in the communicator, which seemed to be a little chaotic.

Then, Uncle Gun's low voice also sounded: "I also met here, a little girl asking for directions." ”

"I met it too, carrying a jack-o'-lantern."

It's Kobayashi.

Sister Lucky's excited and somewhat curious voice sounded: "What's the situation?" Where is it? ”

"It's over."

Immediately afterwards, Captain Ouyang's voice was a little low: "I also met it, three." ”

……

……

"What's that?"

Wei Wei was stunned in an instant, and he felt like he had fallen out of favor.

Aren't you the first to come to me?

Dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on his face, and the hand holding the gun hooked on the trigger.

"Phew!"
