Chapter 248: Strange Things in the City
In the city, Qi Zixiao walked in it, and the ground was paved with some kind of cyan stone slab, a vicissitudes of life, and the ancient atmosphere came.
Qi Zixiao looked into the distance, the street was several feet wide, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides, but at this time, these shops were not alive at all.
It seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and the door is full of dust.
Walking in this place known as the City of Nightmares, Qi Zixiao was also a little nervous in his heart, and at this time, he could feel the flute in his head becoming more and more urgent.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Qi Zixiao stopped and looked at a shop, which seemed to be a paper shop, and there were two paper figures at the door, a man and a woman, with thick rouge on their faces.
The door to the shop opened, but it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
As if sensing his gaze, the two paper figures suddenly turned their heads to look at Qi Zixiao, a strange smile appeared on their faces, and they actually reached out to make an inviting gesture.
Qi Zixiao's eyes were gloomy, and he felt that this place was full of weirdness, he didn't dare to stay, and then walked forward.
Looking at his back, the smiles on the faces of the two paper figures suddenly converged, revealing a touch of anger and coldness.
Inside the door of the store, there were even more terrible sounds.
At this time, not far after walking again, Qi Zixiao stopped, looking gloomily ahead, it was a tailor shop, inside, there was a woman who looked old, she was sewing clothes, she was sitting at the door, her eyes were very focused, you could see that the skin on her body was loose, and she didn't know how many years she had lived.
The other party seemed to notice Qi Zixiao's gaze, suddenly raised his head, looked at him, showed a smile, and said, "Housheng, make a dress, sooner or later you will need it." ”
"Huh?"
Qi Zixiao's heart was shocked, the other party didn't look like a spirit, and he could actually talk.
He was about to speak, when he suddenly found that the clothes in the other party's hand were a shroud!
It was a garment for the dead, blue-gray, and a big longevity character.
Looking at that dress, he suddenly thought of the red immortal dress that Princess Liang Guo wore at the beginning.
Both have different styles, but they seem to be spiritual creatures.
He didn't dare to answer, so he stepped forward quickly, and was about to leave, but the old woman kept talking, "Make a dress, you will use it soon, and it will be cheaper for you......"
Qi Zixiao didn't hear it, and his footsteps didn't stop.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me!"
When the old woman saw this, her voice suddenly became angry and sharp.
At this moment, Qi Zixiao felt a great danger coming.
He was a little flustered and wanted to flee quickly, but he suddenly found that he seemed to be unable to move, and when he looked down, he suddenly had an extra piece of clothing on his body.
It was the shroud that this old woman had sewn just now.
As the clothes entered his body, he felt a cold aura coming from his body, his body became stiff, and his consciousness was blurred.
However, in his mind, the flute sounded wildly, so that he was not completely affected by this dress.
The clothes gradually loosened, and the next moment, they actually left Qi Zixiao's body and returned to the old woman's hands, Qi Zixiao's body resumed action and ran forward without hesitation.
Looking at his back, the old woman's eyes showed a touch of coldness, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, "Hehe, if you want to escape, you can't escape......"
I don't know how far he ran, Qi Zixiao looked behind him, no one caught up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Zixiao was already drenched in a cold sweat at this time, this place was too terrifying, if it weren't for the sound of the spirit flute, he would definitely not be able to die again.
However, he also knew that the longer he spent here, the more danger he faced.
When the sound of the spirit flute loses its effect, then you will fall here.
"I remember that in the painting that guy was drawing, there was a small hole in the wall, maybe it was a way out of here......"
Qi Zixiao thought in his heart.
It's just that this nightmare city is too big for him to find the hole.
"Unless, I find a living person here, maybe I can know how to leave......"
A thought crossed his mind.
It was dangerous, but it was the only way he could think of it.
He is now protected by the spirit flute, and he does not have to worry about death for a certain period of time, and he has the capital to try.
"However, it is also a skill to choose who to ask, if it is the old woman just now, it is estimated that she will be attacked before she speaks."
Qi Zixiao had all kinds of thoughts spinning in his mind, slowed down, and looked around, intending to find a reliable person.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at a shop, which was a pawnshop, and two curtains hung at the door.
The pawnshop doesn't look big, and the sound of an abacus can be faintly heard inside.
Qi Zixiao hesitated for a moment and chose to enter it.
As soon as he entered it, a strange voice came to his ears, with a touch of excitement.
"Welcome to our store."
Qi Zixiao raised his head and looked behind the counter, where there stood a middle-aged man in a cyan robe with a kind smile on his face.
In front of him, there is also an abacus.
"I wonder what the guest wants to pawn?"
The other party asked.
"What do I have on me that I can pawn?"
Qi Zixiao asked lightly.
He asked the other party rhetorically, thinking that this guy would be angry, but the man in the green shirt showed a smile, looked him up and down, and then said with a smile, "A lot, this guest seems to be a big customer, you can tell me what you want to change, I may be able to take it out here......"
"I want to know all the information about this city, I wonder if you have anything here?"
Qi Zixiao asked.
"All the information about Nightmare City, I can't ...... this"
The man in the green shirt shook his head, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, "But, I can tell you how to survive here." ”
"The price, it's your flute."
Hearing this, Qi Zixiao's face changed, "You can also take this thing?" ”
"Naturally, as long as there is something, I can accept it here."
The man in the green shirt smiled and spoke.
"Including your spirit, if you can make a contract with me to pledge your spirit to me, I can tell you more information."
"You can get out of here?"
Qi Zixiao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately grasped the hidden meaning in the other party's words.
"Not yet, but when we sign the contract, I will find your body and take the spirit away."
The other person spoke.
"So, can you get me out of here?"
Qi Zixiao asked.
"No, no one can leave here."
The other shook his head.
Qi Zixiao nodded, then turned around and left, it was impossible for him to pawn the capital that he survived here, if he really believed in the other party's words, it was estimated that he could be fooled to death.
The pawnshop owner didn't restrain him either, and watched him leave with a smile on his face.
The moment he walked out of the door, he also said thoughtfully, "This guest, it's best not to walk outside at night, otherwise, something very terrible will happen." ”
Hearing this, Qi Zixiao's footsteps paused and continued to walk forward.
At this time, he looked into the sky and saw that the black sun was setting in the west, and it seemed that it was about to set.
In the city, I don't know when the wind suddenly rose, which made Qi Zixiao's heart tighten, he felt a strong threat, and the flute in his mind became more urgent.
He had a vague instinct in his heart that if he was outside before the sun completely set, he would really die.
It's just that if you're not outside, you have to go into the shops on both sides of the street, or find a private house.
Either way, he believes it's not a good choice.
However, after thinking about it, he still chose to believe the other party, and he saw an inn that was empty and empty.
In the inn, there is only one shop.
"Are the guests eating or staying at the hotel?"
Seeing Qi Zixiao come in, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward, and opened his mouth with a stiff face, with a smile on his face, but it seemed to be far-fetched.
"Stay in the hotel."
Qi Zixiao spoke.
"Okay, please come with me."
The shopkeeper led the way in front and went up the stairs to the second floor.
This inn has only three floors, and Qi Zixiao entered the second floor.
"Click"
The room was open, and inside it was neatly organized, with beds, tables, dressers, without a single bit of dust, and it seemed that someone cleaned it every day.
"Guest, this is your room, here's the room key."
The shopkeeper took out a key from his body and handed it to Qi Zixiao.
Taking the key, Qi Zixiao nodded, and without waiting for the other party to leave, he asked, "What will happen here at night?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he shook his head, "I don't know about this, the guests will rest first, and if there is a need, you can call me at any time." ”
After saying that, he took the initiative to leave the room.
Sitting on the stool, Qi Zixiao looked at everything in the room with deep eyes, and felt that everything here was so strange.
He was a little anxious in his heart, after all, the time of the flute can only last for one day, and after a day, he has not left, and the effect of this flute will disappear.
He didn't dare to imagine what danger he would face after the sound of the flute disappeared.
"Whew"
Suddenly, he heard the wind outside, and then came to the window, and did not open the window, but through the crack in the window, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be people walking outside.
The wind was rushing, the windows were crackling, and there was a faint sound of chains mopping the floor on the ground.
He couldn't help but gasp, and sure enough, the pawnshop owner didn't deceive himself, after the sun went down, some kind of change would really happen here.
"Woo ......"
The voice outside suddenly changed and turned into a cry, which was so terrible that he felt an indescribable sadness.
Through the crack in the window, he saw countless figures dressed in white, carrying a huge coffin, mourning and joy everywhere.
It was a huge black coffin, filled with a cold, dead air.
Paper money was scattered all over the sky, and there were white flags.
Suddenly, the voice of the shopkeeper appeared outside the room, "Guest officer, don't open the window at night, let alone leave the inn." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Qi Zixiao responded.
When the words fell, the shopkeeper left.
