Chapter 11: The Escape (5)

Little by little, the sun moved out of sight, and the dusky sky finally dimmed.

"It's closed, it's closed......" The owner of the hotel sent off the last guest, closed the door with a smile on his face, hung up the sign that was closed, and didn't look at Mo Yu until he left.

Mo Yu continued to sit on the bench outside the hotel fiddling with his knife, and the fatigue of the last few days came up together, very lost, as if he had lost something forever, but he didn't know what it was.

Mo Yu lay on the table, he couldn't get out of the city, and now even Luoxian City, which he once regarded as his home, was beaten to pieces, abandoned by his family, lost contact with Yanbei, and separated from Jing Yue, and now he has become a key wanted criminal, homeless and living on the streets, what is more miserable than his current self?

"What do I want to do?" Mo Yu slammed the knife in his hand into the table in front of him, "What else can I do?"

A sound of eager footsteps came from behind him, Mo Yu pulled out a knife, the tip of the knife was hidden in his sleeve, but his body did not move, and he still maintained his original sitting position and lay on the table.

The footsteps became more and more urgent and clear, and Mo Yu's body began to tremble involuntarily......

A group of people dressed in black quickly passed through the front of the hotel, not noticing Mo Yu lying there.

Mo Yu's nerves relaxed, but then Mo Yu's ears moved, and a slight sound of footsteps came from behind him, Mo Yu's heart rose again, put away the knife and bent down under the table in the hotel, staring at the source of the sound with a pair of eyes that were not very good.

On the other side of the dark street, the slight sound of footsteps approached unhurriedly, and it seemed that there was no hurry.

Footsteps sounded in front of Mo Yu, but Mo Yu didn't see anyone......

No one

Mo Yu began to tremble again, even though the footsteps had faded away......

Although his eyesight is not very good, Mo Yu is still very confident that he can catch things that move.

But......

There was no one just now......

No one walked over......

"But the footsteps are indeed real, I can't mishear them......" Mo Yu got out from under the table and tiptoed in the direction of the footsteps.

If anyone would do these small actions in the capital now, it would only be the rebels or the Anti-Righteous Society, but since the soldiers on the night patrol did not chase after them, it should be the Anti-Righteous Society... Mo Yu remembered that a few days ago when Yanbei held a meeting, he said that the rebel army would go to the capital to spy on intelligence in the near future.

Although the footsteps were not in a hurry, the people who walked seemed to be unusually fast, and Mo Yu was quickly thrown away for a long distance just by walking quickly, so he had to try to run and follow without making a sound, trying to confirm the thoughts in his heart.

But after running for a long time, there was no distance between the two of them, and the other three or four people who ran over first seemed to keep turning, trying to shake off the footsteps, but it was also in vain.

People on both sides are shuttling between the alleys, Mo Yu is not familiar with the road here, and once he falls behind, he may get lost.

It looks like an old town, with all sorts of stalls and shelves on both sides of the road, low-rise dilapidated buildings piled up with discarded items piled up underneath, and the corner is a little more spacious, but full of trolleys for hauling goods.

But these things also provided cover for Mo Yu, who struggled to shuttle back and forth between the buildings, following the footsteps in front.

Suddenly, there was a pause in front, and the footsteps in front disappeared, leaving only the footsteps of the three or four people in front, and Mo Yu was also stunned and stopped abruptly behind a trolley.

It didn't matter if he was stunned, the footsteps of the person in front of him turned and disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became a dead silence......

Mo Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "It's okay now...... I can't even find the way back...... "Mo Yu looked around again, there were some dark alleys and forks, "What should I do......"

It was impossible to turn back, Mo Yu poked his head outside, "I really regret coming here...... and then tiptoed out from behind a trolley, half-bent on his waist, moving forward little by little......

The person in front of him probably found his tracking, Mo Yu slowly moved out of this alley and walked to the center of an intersection, according to the way the group of people walked, they would turn around when they arrived here, in order to avoid turning in circles, they should turn right here.

Mo Yu gently turned to the intersection on the right, it was a passage narrower than any alley just now, because it was a lot narrower, so it was relatively simple, there were not too many clutter, and there were no obstacles such as trolleys.

By the moonlight, Mo Yu saw that there was a wall at the end of the alley - it was a dead end, but where did those people go, Mo Yu continued to walk lightly, looking ahead and paying attention to his feet.

Finally, Mo Yu saw that in the deepest part of the alley, at the corner of the two walls, in the darkness, there was a door that was faintly open, and it was not easy to be found even on this moonlit night.

It was pitch black in the door, and nothing could be seen, nor could any sound be heard.

"If that's right, this is it. Mo Yu walked quickly to the door, looked inside with wide eyes, but could only vaguely see a section of stairs.

Mo Yu tightened the clothes on his body, although it was only night, he still felt a chill in this alley......

"Are you still wearing too little......" he turned his head, looked behind him, and strode into the building......

It was dark, and Mo Yu's body trembled, this feeling of déjà vu ......

It's like a dream......

Mo Yu struggled to control his body without making a sound, and at the same time tried hard to distinguish the road under his feet so as not to step on the air with one foot.

It went on like this for a long time, or he thought it had been a long time, and he was naturally repulsed by the boundless darkness.

Mo Yu leaned his body against the wall, raised his head and looked, there was a half-open door not far above, he didn't feel any movement here, maybe it was over, maybe they ran to other places, maybe......

Mo Yu put his hand on the long stick behind him and continued to walk up......

"This staircase turned out to be a ...... that leads straight to the top," Mo Yu could vaguely see the sky outside through the crack in the door, "What is this passage for?"

Mo Yu pushed open the door......

Empty......

"Are they all gone......" Mo Yu lowered his head, he could see scattered footprints on the ground, this building should not have been used for many years, there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, "Or am I looking for the wrong place?"

"You're here......"

The footsteps sounded clearly behind him, and a hoarse voice came from behind......

Mo Yu's body shook violently, his whole body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head......
