Shen Qi, who was walking on Chengdong Avenue, pretending to be a tourist, suddenly heard this shallow call when passing a stall.
Shen Qi looked back in confusion, but did not see the owner of the suspected voice.
He thought that he might have heard it wrong. There were so many stalls on the street, and maybe it was the shouts of some people. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and continued walking towards the center stage, taking a few things from the stalls next to him from time to time. eat.
Of course you have to pay for food, after all this is a modern civilized society.
Along the way, he saw many young brothers and sisters wearing retro Hanfu. The further he walked, the more people wearing Hanfu.
At first glance, I thought I had traveled back in time to ancient times, when the dynasty was prosperous and prosperous.
Then he couldn't help but bring out the three Susie and compare them. This comparison made him lose confidence in winning the prize. There was no way to compare.
Look at the details of other people's clothing, even the various accessories and antique makeup, and you will know that they are professionals.
"Alas~"
I originally thought about getting the first prize and seeing what a 50,000 yuan hot spring tour is like, but now it seems that I can only think about it.
After all, he would never be able to do such a thing if he was asked to spend 50,000 yuan to take a bath. With that kind of money, wouldn't it be nice to buy a few games and add a few sets of full skins?
"Is anyone here to buy my matches?"
Shen Qi paused for a moment, and then he was bumped into by someone coming up from behind. Originally, the person wanted to scold Shen Qi.
But when he found Shen Qi standing there as if he was stupid, he felt bored and cursed and walked away.
Shen Qi turned around and scanned the crowd, looking for the direction of the sound just now.
He was sure that he heard that voice. It was not the cry of a vendor, but the call of a weak little girl. The voice was full of disappointment and loss.
But Shen Qi still couldn't find the little girl's whereabouts. At this moment, the voice came again.
"Can you buy my matches?"
This time Shen Qi locked the general direction, opened his true eyes, dove into the crowd, and walked towards the locked direction.
This obviously abnormal situation all means one thing... there is something strange happening nearby. This is the intuition of those who have been working in the industry for thirty years.
As for what he had promised to Su Qian and the other three, he had long forgotten about it.
——
On the other side, the electronic eye, which received the order from the branch, had separated from the crowd, climbed to the roof of the tall buildings on both sides, and then accepted the equipment sent by the branch via drone.
A set of conventional equipment of the monitoring team, including gamma communicators, cameras, various weapons against anomalies, and the powerful anti-anomalous tactical suit.
After changing the clothes, the electronic eyes looked different, and they looked more heroic.
Putting on his tactical helmet and having his electronic eyes ready, he came to the edge of the roof, looked at the crowds of people passing below, and took a deep breath.
If it is really abnormal, it may threaten their lives.
So his task is very heavy.
But the electronic eye also knew why the branch knew that he was with consultant Shen Qi but did not inform the other party, because every time consultant Shen Qi intervened in a task, it would have serious consequences.
Today's Qinghe District has a population of nearly one million. If you are not careful, it will cause serious social problems.
This was not allowed by the City God Administration Bureau, so we had to leave it to the electronic eyes to check, and then formulate a secret plan to deal with the abnormality in a low-key manner without affecting the Qinghe District's festival.
"Huh~"
Electronic Eye let out a breath and connected to the communicator.
"CG0012, this is the electronic eye, please reply if you hear it."
"Didi!"
"This is CG0012."
"CG0012, please plan the way forward for me."
"Please wait..."
"The route has been planned for you and you can start the mission."
"OK, thanks."
A three-dimensional map was displayed in the tactical helmet, and the best route forward was displayed. After hanging up the communication, the electronic eyes immediately followed the planned route.
However, what he didn't know was that on the street opposite him, a figure took a step ahead of him and entered the abnormal area...
——
"here it is......"
Shen Qi ran in the direction of the sound, but found that he was gradually getting away from the crowd and arrived at a remote alley. He also carefully looked at the archway number - No. 3/4, Lane 10.
"Come and buy my matches..."
The sound came again, this time much weaker than before, just like a summer cicada after its high-pitched chirping, with more than enough energy but not enough energy.
Shen Qi looked at the dark alley and walked in with a solemn expression.
"Da da da..."
Perhaps because of Shen Qi's arrival, the sound no longer came, but a slight moan.
despair!
Suddenly a beam of light came down, illuminating the situation in the alley.
A little girl wearing oversized short-sleeves was huddled in the corner, talking nonsense, which made people feel pity for her.
Shen Qi did not continue to move, but looked at the weak figure, and the atmosphere became silent.
"Are you here to buy my matches?"
In the blink of an eye, the little girl stood up, looking at Shen Qi with hopeful eyes on her delicate and cute face and asked.
Shen Qi stared at the little girl without saying anything, and the two just looked at each other.
a long time.
The little girl huddled back in disappointment, her breath getting weaker and weaker. She took out a box of matches from somewhere. Shen Qi noticed that there was only one match in the matchbox, but there was no match stem.
Could she just sell a match? Shen Qi was a little confused.
The little girl took out a match and seemed to want to light it to keep herself warm. At this moment, Shen Qi called out to her.
"You just sell a match?"
The little girl stopped, but the match came into contact with the edge of the matchbox. Just a slight rub could ignite it.
At this time, the little girl turned her head and looked at Shen Qi, and continued to ask: "Then do you want to sell matches?"
It seemed that as long as Shen Qi shook her head or said "no", she would light the match.
Shen Qi sighed softly. He really didn't expect that he would encounter the story of the "little match girl" in another world.
But since you have encountered it, let’s help.
As early as when he saw the little girl, he used his real eyes to analyze it and learned that the little girl was not weird, but a somewhat special human being.
Moreover, when he was a child, he had also heard Andersen's fairy tales. At that time, he foolishly thought that if he met the little match girl in the future, he would definitely help her, buy all her matches, and then take her to eat roast duck.
Shen Qi suddenly walked forward, and the little girl looked at Shen Qi who was approaching her stupidly.
"Do you only have one match to sell?"
"Um...do you want to buy it?"
"Do you want to eat roast duck?"
"Um...do you want to buy it?"
"......Um."
——
Five minutes later, the electronic eye arrived here, looked at the empty alley, and cursed inwardly.
"CG0012, I'm late. There are high-risk anomalies in the value of the target location. Preliminary judgment is that the weirdness has gone far and may have merged into the crowd..."
"Wait! What did you say? Consultant Shen Qi took her away?"
