Chapter 55: Man-Eating Monsters (4)
"I guess - it's just a front for youkai to eat people. After the air was quiet for a while, Chu Qize's voice rang out leisurely: "The real purpose is to capture us into this world." ”
Fu Chu looked at Chu Qize as if he understood but didn't understand, and then quietly moved his gaze to Chu Duan's body.
There was no superfluous expression on the senior brother in front of him, obviously he was standing straight in front of her like this, but it still made Fu Chu feel an inexplicable and familiar sense of distance, as if this sense of distance was innate.
Chu Duan seemed to be aware of Fu Chu's gaze, he also subconsciously glanced at Fu Chu, his eyes were facing each other, Fu Chu looked at Chu Duan's eyes after a trace of waves, and quickly moved his gaze away: "The people here don't look like locals-"
Chu Qize also noticed this, and when he heard Chu Duan say this, he grabbed a passer-by: "Childe-"
After the man was grabbed by Chu Qize's arm, he naturally stopped, and he looked at Chu Qize suspiciously, as if waiting for Chu Qize to speak.
"Looking at Childe's face, he doesn't look like a local, dare to ask where Childe is from?" Chu Qize asked politely.
After speaking, the man seemed to be asked, he stared at Chu Qize for a while, and his appearance was as if he was ...... He couldn't remember where he was from.
"Excuse me, where is this?"
"Here?" the man repeated, and then glanced at Chu Qize up and down: "This is Pingle Town, look at the son's clothes cleanly, and he doesn't look like a local, he shouldn't have been here for a long time, right?"
With that, the man withdrew his hand and left on his own.
"He doesn't remember where he came from?" Qi Chi looked at the man's back suspiciously, as if he was a little confused.
It shouldn't be!
After Qi Chi said that, Chu Duan slowly walked towards the bun shop on the side.
As soon as Chu Duan wanted to ask something, the owner of the steamed bun shop enthusiastically said: "Childe, do you want two steamed buns? It's hot, it's delicious!"
After the boss's voice fell, Chu Duan's eyes also fell on the white and plump buns. His gaze paused for a moment before he opened his thin lips slightly: "That ......"
He has no money......
"Didn't you bring silver taels?"
Chu Duan said "um" indifferently.
Hearing Chu Duan's admission, a hearty smile appeared on the boss's face: "It's okay, you're new here, right? ”
As he spoke, the boss grabbed a few buns: "I'll give you these buns, you can take the buns to the small shop on the street to exchange them for a few silver taels." ”
Before Chu Duan could respond, the boss stuffed the hot bun into Chu Dui's hand.
Chu Duan held the hot buns and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Boss, how long have you been here?"
"How long?" The boss looked up at Chu Duan while straightening the buns in his hand: "Forget it-"
"And do you remember where you came from?"
"It's been so long, who remembers?" said the boss happily, as if he didn't care about it at all.
After finishing speaking, Chu Duan was also silent for a moment - this is not normal.
"What about your family?" Chu Duan then asked again.
"Right here!"
Hearing what the boss said, Chu Duan didn't say anything more, and after he said "thank you", he turned around and walked towards Fu Chu and them.
......
After exchanging silver taels, several people sat down at a nearby inn.
"Abnormal ......" Fu Chu held his cheek with one hand, and turned the teacup on the table with the other hand: "It's too abnormal." ”
After Fu Chu finished speaking, no one paid attention.
Chu Duan and the others sat quietly at the table like this, looking at Fu Chu muttering alone-she had been muttering these two words for half an hour, and at this moment, in their eyes, it seemed that it was ...... Fuchu.
"It's really not normal—" Seeing that they didn't say a word, Fu Chu said again, "Don't you notice?"
"Do you mean yourself?" Finally, Chu Qize couldn't help but ask.
After Chu Qize's words fell, Chu Duan, who had been expressionless, couldn't bear to quietly lower his eyes and smiled secretly.
Fu Chu: "......"
"Didn't you really find out?" Fu Chu asked incredulously, "Everyone here doesn't even remember where they came from, and everyone says that their family is here." ”
"Obviously, they were all arrested, but everyone seems to be very content with the status quo......" After Fu Chu finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Duan.
Looking at each other, Chu Duan's eyes were clear, and Fuchu's heart trembled, and it didn't take long for her to silently look away again, and then stared at the water in the teacup: "So...... I'm thinking...... Isn't there something evil ...... everyone has fallen for?"
Fu Chu muttered quietly, after all, Liu Niang only saw people arresting people, and it didn't seem that she had arrested a large family......
"It's not evil. After Fu Chu finished muttering, Chu Duan calmly responded: "Everyone's situation is very similar, more like ...... Assimilated. ”
Everyone gradually does not remember where they come from, and everyone goes from being alone to having their own parents, wives and children......
Thinking of this, Chu Duan frowned slightly—this world doesn't seem to be a simple fictional world.
They can't fathom the world, and they can't escape from it.
"Shouldn't we be trapped here for the rest of our lives?!" After a moment of silence around us, Fu Chu asked anxiously.
"There will be a way to get out. Chu Duan calmly comforted.
After the words fell, Chu Qize took the opportunity to raise his eyes and look at the sky outside the window, the night gradually came to an end, and the pedestrians on the road seemed to be gradually decreasing: "It's not early, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, and then find a way to go out tomorrow." ”
Yu Chu Qize's words, everyone has also reached a consensus one after another.
Several people stood up from their seats, then slowly walked upstairs towards their respective rooms.
As the night deepened, Fu Chu sat at the table, but he didn't feel sleepy.
She opened her mouth slightly, and was just about to say something, when she saw Qi Chi who was asleep sitting on the edge of the bed - forget it, it still didn't bother her.
Thinking about it, Fu Chu slowly walked to the window, and then quietly pushed the window open.
The chill hit, making Fu Chu shiver.
There were no pedestrians on the road anymore, and Fu Chu looked at the empty street and was alone in a daze.
Suddenly, a figure slowly came into Fu Chu's eyes, making the sleepiness that Fu Chu had just climbed up disappear in an instant......
