Chapter 104 A turning point

Getting lost is a common thing, because there is a mouth under the nose, why can't you ask if you can't find it? But in this new city, there is no such possibility.

Everywhere you look is a group of 'lunatics' who need to vent their hatred. Who do you want to go to?

For the first time, I realized that it was painful to have no one trouble us. Being lost in such a city was adding fuel to the pain of the city.

But Xiao Chengqian wasn't nervous, he just kept urging me: "Chengyi, come up with a solution quickly. The biggest purpose of coming here is to solve Hu Village, and the second purpose is to find the clues left by your master.

As for the third purpose, it is for the clues left by your master, you know it well!"

"I know it, do you need to remind me over and over again?" I was in a bad mood.

"Nonsense, I remind you, I just want to tell you, let alone doing these things, if we don't know what to do next, we will all be trapped and die in this city, and eventually become resentful spirits, or even evil ghosts. It's hard to say." Xiao Chengqian was very sad.

He simply squatted on the ground floor of a building similar to an inn, and spoke with a somewhat old-fashioned manner.

"Didn't I tell you not to rely too much on me, so I let you go and fly?" I felt angry, which probably provoked Xiao Chengqian.

"Don't make excuses. What I mean is that you still have to lead everyone, but you don't have to do everything yourself. You have to have full trust." Xiao Chengqian estimated that there were still two people who had not said a word, but at this moment his expression had changed and he was facing him

Looking at the building opposite.

This ghost town is very strange. The streets and alleys are obviously filled with groups of crazy ghosts, but the city has been slow to build buildings full of ancient style. There are many functional buildings that should be there, and there are many places similar to residential buildings.

, opposite Xiao Chengqian is a residential building.

The residence was not high, just a three-story wooden structure. It was consistent with the style of this ghost town. It was all black. Xiao Chengqian's eyes fell on such a residence.

"You don't want to argue with me, so you're diverting your attention?" I didn't understand what Xiao Chengqian's sudden silence meant, but something called hope ignited in my heart. Could it be that this kid really discovered something?

Thinking like this, I followed Xiao Chengqian's gaze to the house. At the door of the house, there were three or five ghosts fighting irrationally or howling in pain. They were no different from other ghosts on the street.

, you can’t see clearly from the second floor, but there is a small figure sitting on the roof of the third floor.

It looked like a child of about ten years old, sitting on the roof so lonely.

From a height of about ten meters, I could clearly see that, unlike the crazy and painful red eyes of those evil spirits, this child's eyes showed a kind of loneliness and helplessness, mixed with a slightly painful look.

To be more precise, the look in its eyes showed that it was much more awake than those evil ghosts.

Ghosts are the most capable of 'lying' when they have a purpose. They can deceive you into being a substitute or deceive you into dying to redeem their hatred. If that doesn't work, they will deliberately create non-existent horrors and torture you life and death.

.

But without a clear purpose, the ghost is the most sincere existence, because any of its emotions, even every move, comes from the depths of the soul. In a city like Xincheng where "naked" venting is possible, there is no way to express it at all.

There's no need to hide it.

"Did you notice it too?" Xiao Chengqian gave me a serious look, and I nodded.

In a world filled with evil spirits and evil spirits, it is a strange thing to suddenly appear a relatively clean and sober ghost that is not controlled by resentment. Perhaps our turning point lies in this child.

"Hey, can you come down and talk?" I shouted loudly to the child, but I didn't want to attract the attention of the ghosts in front of the house. According to the rules here, they rushed towards us without hesitation.

I didn't make a move, I just looked at the child, and beside me were the moving hands of Hui Gen'er and Xiao Chengqian. Hui Gen'er had a rosary in his hand, and Xiao Chengqian had a magic sword made of copper coins. Just for a moment, that

Several fierce ghosts howled miserably and retreated.

They are irrational, but their souls are hurt, and they still know how to retreat. After all, even if they are controlled by resentment, they are still a hundred times smarter than animals.

And Xiao Chengqian and Hui Gen'er didn't kill anyone. They had just found some hope of a turnaround, and no one was willing to destroy this peaceful situation for the time being.

After I called out, the child just looked at us indifferently at first. That kind of indifference makes people feel desperate in their bones. It is a look that is no longer interested in anything, including hatred. If a person is so survival

In this world, if that is not a life of despair, what is it?

But this indifference did not last long. After Xiao Chengqian and Hui Gener made small moves one after another, it looked at us with a somewhat searching look, which made people feel that its whole ghost had a trace of energy.

Smart, this feeling is much better.

"Wait a minute, I'll come down." Finally, its voice floated from the roof. It was not the voice of a child as we imagined, but the voice of a middle-aged man. It sounded weird no matter how it sounded.

However, nothing is shown on our faces. After all, this is the world of ghosts. What image it appears in and what voice it speaks in are not restricted like when it has a yang body. It can do whatever it wants.

We will not let down our guard just because this ghost appears in the form of a ten-year-old child.

After the child finished answering our words, he slowly jumped from the roof of the third floor into the window, and then he disappeared from sight, but I was used to the ghosts here being restricted in their activities by such a city.

Ability, for example, the child will not float down directly.

It's a very illogical thing to say. For example, how can ghosts become bloody and bloody when they jump from a building? They don't have a human body at all! But that's the case in this city. Whether you jump from a building or commit suicide, the effect is exactly the same as in the human world, but it's different.

It's just that this is 'acting', there are only effects, no consequences!

Well, there are no consequences for dying!

This is a city that tries its best to imitate everything in the world, such as the inn behind us. I really can’t figure out what the meaning of its existence is?

Just when I was thinking wildly, the door opened with a "squeak", just like the outside world, a small building like an ancient town opened its own wooden door, opened like that.

I wondered a little funny, who built this city and made such a complicated "fantasy", it is obviously a ghost, why should it act according to the laws of the world? This is as meaningless as taking off your pants and farting.

"Are you new here? Are you here to talk to me? I can understand the loneliness and discomfort you feel when you come here. If you want to have a quiet chat, just go inside. There are too many crazy people on the street." We did not speak.

On the contrary, the child spoke a lot to us in a middle-aged voice.

I heard clearly, two questions, followed by a few words that seemed polite, but actually made a decision for us.

It's more 'passionate' than we thought, and it must be very lonely.

But it is also more vicissitudes than we imagined. Although the words are plain, who can't hear the meaning of helplessness and sadness?

"Come in?" Brother Chengxin walked up to me and whispered, and everyone looked at me.

Is there any reason not to go in? I looked at the child and said: "Then I'm sorry to bother you. Can we all go in and have a chat with you?"

"Come in, everyone." The child nodded curtly, and then said: "Anyway, I'm already dead, and even if I'm a ghost, I won't be able to survive. The last thing I'm afraid of is dying again."

While talking, it turned around and went upstairs, and I quickly followed it.

Its footsteps made a "gurgling" sound on the narrow wooden stairs. In this city, it is a normal thing. The wooden stairs in Yangshi will make this sound, and the stairs here will naturally do the same.

Make such a sound.

I can see that it wants to take its steps as lightly as possible, but I don't know why?

But when I was about to go up the stairs, it suddenly turned around and said to me: "Be gentle, everyone on the first floor has gone out, but there is still one very powerful guy on the second floor, sleeping and digesting."

, don’t wake it up, otherwise it won’t be able to leave the house.”

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand.
