Since the shipyard business hours have passed, even if Lu Jing wants to rest the Tide as soon as possible, he can only temporarily dock the ship in the port and wait for tomorrow morning to enter the shipyard.

Now it's important to find a place to rest as soon as possible, or you may have to sleep on the street tonight......

So after leaving the port, the two found the bus stop as soon as possible.

As the largest island in Taining Province, Qihuang Island has a huge population of nearly one million, and is also home to many large factories, and its level of development is naturally unusual, which has gradually been shown since Lu Jing and his two landed on the island.

This is a city that is quite industrialized to some extent, and its internal architecture is no longer the ancient wooden structure that was common before Lu Jing, but more modern buildings that are relatively rare on other islands.

For example, houses are no longer single-family houses, but residential apartments with several floors high, and factories are no longer small workshops in courtyards, but mechanical monsters with chimneys.

The developed state of the city is especially reflected in its more developed and complete transportation system than Huashu Island or Qingchu Island, even in the middle of the night, Lu Jing still waited for the city steam train running on a fixed track.

This kind of operation of moving the rail train into the city was at the level of the seventies and eighties in Lu Jing's previous life, not to mention that this era also has its own characteristics.

Nearly 6 meters long steel body, gas-fed high-power lights, and gray-white steam that spews out from the roof exhaust from time to time, dissolving in the night rain, the space in the cabin is also very spacious, because it is late at night, there are only a few workers who have just finished the night shift and are dozing off with their heads down.

"24-hour indoor rail steam train...... For example, if we sit on Huashu Island again, we will only drive for eight hours a day, right?"

Lu Jing unloaded the backpack with two knives inserted diagonally on the left and right and put it at his feet, holding the train schedule he had just picked up at the boarding position in one hand, and holding the glass that was sleeping soundly in his arms with the other, and looked sideways at Xu Chu next to him.

"The life and rest on Huashu Island is different from that on Qihuang Island, a large number of factories mean the existence of overtime workers, and there are some taverns on the street lights here, and entertainment venues such as Qinglou will also open late, so there will be ...... What's the situation?"

Xu Chu answered Lu Jing's question, but the eyes that fell outside the window were a little confused for a while, and then turned his head to look at the other side, and then asked in a low voice.

Following Xu Zhu's gaze, Lu Jing quickly realized where he was confused, on both sides of the street where the rail train passed, there were shopping malls with several floors high, independent taverns, restaurants or residential buildings with a more modern style could be seen everywhere, but the imaginary lively scene did not exist at all.

The streets are deserted and don't even look like a big city, and occasionally you can see people walking on both sides of the street, all of them hurrying together with umbrellas.

"The newspaper just mentioned the recent serial disappearance case in Qihuang Island, probably because I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out at night...... The appearance of the wanted man on that notice was indeed terrifying. ”

When the person in the management office put the newspaper against the window, Lu Jing roughly read the report and said that nearly 50 people had gone missing, and this data has been expanding recently!

In a city with a population of nearly one million, it is normal for someone to go missing, after all, there is no so-called ID card in this era, and the household registration system is not popular, such as those ruffians, members of underground forces, beggars, etc., no one will care if they disappear.

However, this time it was all ordinary people in Qihuang Island who disappeared, which will inevitably cause large-scale public opinion, because no one knows how many people have disappeared in places that no one has found or in those groups that have not been noticed!

Of course, for the time being, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Jing.

He had already planned where he was going in the next half a month, and after figuring out what the strange puppet in Qihuang Island was, he would leave and go to Mingde Mansion, the Tongtian Dojo on Qianhe Island to find the statue that Xu Xi had said, during which it was best to figure out what the letters engraved on the permanent pointer in his hand meant, and if he was in time, he wanted to go to that place for another adventure.

呲~

"Yuelai Inn is on the east side of the site in front, and the two people in the back, you can get ready to get off!"

The driver reminded him many times before, and when Lu Jing got in the car, he gave him a banknote with a face value of 100 copper plates, and asked him to remind him when he passed by a good inn in the city.

Getting off the train on the platform, Xu Chu took two steps to look at the sign standing on the side of the road to confirm the location of the inn, but Lu Jing's eyes were cast on an apricot yellow talisman on the ground next to the platform seat, and the complex spell on it was naturally incomprehensible to him, but the street on the side of the platform and the similar spell posted outside the shop window made him subconsciously frown.

"What is this, is it a monster that captures people?"

whispered, holding the umbrella and walking in the direction of Xu Xu.

After walking about 100 meters, the two found the Yuelai Inn recommended by the driver, and saw that the store was really bright, even at this point in time, the ground floor was lit up, and someone was guarding there, the only thing that was a little strange was that there were two guards with guns at the door of this kind of hotel.

"The two upper rooms must be next to each other, and then prepare a table of wine and food, which should be freshly cooked, and the more should be regarded as a tip. ”

Placing 1 silver dollar on the counter, the shopkeeper who was still dozing off at the front desk immediately perked up, with a smile on his face, and threw the rag over his shoulder to lead the two upstairs.

"Have you been so dangerous lately, it's a port inspection, and it's a guard at the gate, if I'm not mistaken, all the guns are in hand?"

Walking into the elevator on the side of the inn, looking at the knuckle of the shopkeeper's familiar car, Lu Jing took the initiative to ask.

"Hey~ I just wanted to tell you, it's best not to go out at night recently, especially not to go out alone, there are monsters catching people outside!"

"Ahh......h

Wanting to ask more news, Lu Jing said deliberately.

"This is not a child, there was a disappearance case near our inn alone, many people saw it that night, a burly man wearing a hood, running through the street like flying, and then flew into the sky, otherwise why do you think there are two more night guards at the door of the store, and there will be night guards at night. ”

Xu was stimulated by Lu Jingman's nonchalant tone, and the shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice and made a frightened look,

"I also told you about this for the sake of your generous hands, if the shopkeeper knew about it, it would be another scolding. ”
