The strong wind and rain kicked up dust, blurring the vision, and the whole city took on a strange and gloomy color.
Tangrou and Aslan entered the city, while Yue squatted in the dry cabin, as well-behaved as a domestic animal.
They found a hotel with the most malicious atmosphere, next to the city monument and the central cathedral, and parked the car.
Seeing Tang Rou open the car door and get out of the car, Yue immediately wanted to get up and follow. Tang Rou had to push him back and said to him.
"Just rest in the cabin and wait for me to come back. I'll come out to pick you up soon."
The young man shook his head and wanted to follow him.
Tang Rou said seriously, "You look a bit different from humans. I can't take risks. Xiaoyue is obedient and stays here."
Even if he knew the poison in Xiaoyue's body, he shouldn't be harmed by anyone.
But going out like this is too eye-catching and will cause bloodshed, which is something Tang Rou absolutely doesn't want to see.
Yue scratched the edge of the glass cabin, pursed her thin lips, and drooped her eyelashes downwards.
Those indigo eyes once again showed an abandoned look like a puppy. He used this look skillfully in the past few days and gained a lot of love. After getting the benefit, he pretended to be pitiful every now and then.
But this soft silver-white hair and overly pale cheeks are really not what humans would have.
Tang Rou's heart softened and she touched his hair.
He knelt down under that pitiful look and looked at him through the glass. The young man immediately climbed out of the water tank and was pressed back by her shoulders.
"Moon." Tang Rou said softly, like coaxing a child, "Why don't you count a thousand and one, and count slowly. I will come back after you finish counting."
The young man listened carefully to her words, feeling her lips opening and closing, the sound waves passing through the air, and a slight vibration.
He raised his hand and placed his cold fingertips on her lips.
Tang Rou repeated it again.
Yue tilted her head, as if asking, "What if you don't come back?"
Tang Rou said, "I will come back."
After touching his head again, the young man slowly sat down, hugging his legs and hanging his head.
It's a posture that makes people feel guilty.
Tang Rou walked very hard, looking back three times every step of the way, unable to let go.
Until her breath was isolated behind the door.
Yue tilted her head and thought quietly.
His ability to perceive human language is not strong, and he cannot even understand it partially. The only thing he can understand is Tang Rou's meaning.
In others, he could only feel joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but Tang Rou's meaning was conveyed very clearly.
After all, he has been by Tang Rou's side since he came to this world.
Under certain circumstances, her words will be extended and understood by him.
For example, right now, Yue is thinking that if he waits here for a long time and Tang Rou doesn't come back, then he will go find her.
…
From the moment they got off the bus, countless pairs of eyes with unknown meanings fell on them, some were curious, some were appraising, and many were malicious.
Only the lack of friendliness.
Tang Rou twirled on her toes and walked towards the bar with Aselei.
Their original intention was to enter the central cathedral next to it, but it seemed that outsiders were not welcome there.
There seemed to be rules in this city, except for free days, you were not allowed to hurt others casually, so when the bartender stopped them at the door of the bar, he only said:
"Where are you from?"
They took out the excuses they had prepared early in the morning, "We were sent out on a business trip some time ago. We just came back, but the city was sealed off and we couldn't go back. We have been wandering outside, and we happened to come here."
"Blocked? Which city?"
"The Precinct of Babel."
The fact that the area under the Tower of Babel was designated as a closed area was well-known far and wide, and everyone had heard about it. Especially the collapse of the Tower of Babel Biological Base became a gossip that many people talked about.
The bartender took out the walkie-talkie and said something, then looked at the truck they parked in the parking area on the roadside, which was corroded to the point of being blurred, "What kind of car is that?"
"Transport truck."
The bartender frowned and asked them, "The truck? What's in it?"
Tang Rou said, "Seafood."
"..." Aslan gave her a meaningful look.
It's indeed seafood, that's right.
When they walked to the bar, the bartender glanced at their faces and smiled, "Outsiders? What would you like to drink, these two beauties?"
He was a feminine and beautiful man, with a small diamond stud hanging on one ear, which reminded Tang Rou of the way Sea Bunny used her earring to pierce his ear a long time ago.
It's just that the face of sea rabbit is not comparable to that of humans.
So exquisite that no one dares to blaspheme it.
As the bartender spoke, he propped up his chin with one hand and leaned towards them across the table.
In the past, bartenders would always attract the attention of rich women with their pretty good looks. If they were lucky, they would take him and hide them in a private basement on the killing day.
All he has to do is give up his body and be slept with by the rich woman for a night. When he has no strength, he takes two pills. When he encounters something too unpleasant to look at, he drinks some wine to get himself drunk.
Everyone gets what they need.
But the prey he was looking for today was obviously not interested in him.
Aslan whispered to Tang Rou, "So greasy?"
No wonder she has a high vision, staring at those beautiful and inhuman faces in the laboratory every day. Her ex-boyfriend is still an iceberg handsome man like Xiao Ning, and her stomach, no matter how thick it is, has been nourished and delicate.
"Do you want to drink?" Tang Rou changed the subject.
Originally, she and Atherland would always go to the pub for a drink after get off work, especially when they encountered annoying projects and annoying engineers. It would be difficult to get through the next week without a drink.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the two of them would be drinking together in the City of God.
Tang Rou ordered a glass of whiskey, while Aslan mixed a glass of margarita.
The two of them drank wine and chatted about their own things. The bartender held his chin in front of the bar and winked.
Aslan was stared at so hard that he rubbed his arms and muttered in a low voice, "It's not good to pick anyone, why would you pick her? Be careful that her beloved dogs find out that your life is at stake..."
After a few glasses of wine, Tang Rou felt that her vision was a little blurry. She finally smiled and pretended to be calm and asked the bartender, "I see there is a beautiful church next door to you, but it is surrounded. There seems to be a lot of people inside."
Are people from outside not allowed to enter?"
The bartender's blurry eyes cleared up for a moment, he straightened up slightly and asked warily, "You said Central Cathedral, why are you asking this?"
Tang Rou blinked, "It's okay, I'm just curious. This city has a strong religious overtone. You can often see churches. Aren't there also white church buildings on the seaside?"
"Yes." Aslan said beside him, "Just out of curiosity."
"curious?"
The bartender looked strange and opened his mouth, "I advise you not to..."
Halfway through the words.
A sharp and harsh drum sound suddenly erupted in the center of the dance floor, and heavy metal music roared in the ears.
The lights above dimmed and turned into glass balls reflecting colorful colors.
