Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look the postman up and down. He looked like an adult, so how could he say those words so confidently?
Also, what on earth did you do that was so outrageous that your dad and uncle would beat you up when they saw you?
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's stomach was so full that he didn't know how to vomit.
This postman seems normal at first glance, but why does he feel so incomprehensible?
The postman glanced at Lu Mingfei with a smile, and suddenly said something very abrupt: "Shall I perform a magic trick for you?"
"Magic?" Lu Mingfei had no idea what the postman's brain was like. How come it was just about family ethics, but now it's about magic?
But Lu Mingfei still nodded subconsciously.
The postman raised the corners of his mouth and gently pinched his monocle with his hand. Lu Mingfei somehow raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers to pinch his eye sockets.
"How did you do this?" Lu Mingfei looked at his hand in surprise. He really felt that his right hand was out of control just now.
"It's just some psychological hints." The postman said in a brisk tone, "My father is an outstanding psychiatrist, and my uncle is a magician. I only learned a little bit. In fact, what I am best at is
steal."
As he spoke, the postman even proudly patted the bicycle next to him: "I just stole this bicycle from a house on Shangtiao Street. Rounding it off, I stole some things from my uncle's house.
"
"..." Lu Mingfei
I always feel like something is wrong...
wrong!
Something is wrong somewhere, right?
What the hell is going on with this guy?!
Why can someone say that he stole a bicycle with such pride?
It seems that ever since the postman called him from behind, his painting style has gradually become weird...
Lu Mingfei finally suppressed his words: "Why do you want to tell me this?"
He will suffer internal injuries if he holds it in any longer. This guy suddenly stopped himself just to say some unintelligible words and show off his stealing behavior?
Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably that he agreed with this guy's parents, and this naughty kid must beat him up.
I don't know how this guy got so big.
Weren't you beaten to death?
The postman suddenly suppressed his smile and became serious, as if he was a different person. He said something to Lu Mingfei in an extremely serious tone: "Actually, everything I said is true.
Warning you again, this place is very dangerous for you. I know that you came here after encountering a storm. And this place can only be reached through the storm. This place is actually just a part of her."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Mingfei was stunned for an instant, staring motionlessly at the person in front of him.
The postman continued: "You don't believe it? If my guess is correct, you should be in trouble now. Your companions should have discovered that everything here is completely different from what you know. Therefore, I advise
You, get out of here, otherwise, you will never be able to escape."
"..."
Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Why do you know this?"
"Because I watched you for a long time last night." The postman said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. I'm just curious about the people who broke into this place. After all, no one has come in here for a long time."
"I'm here to help you."
The postman's expression was so sincere that Lu Mingfei lowered his guard unconsciously.
Although I don't know what this person wants to do, at least, for now, this guy doesn't seem to have any malicious intent.
"Thank you for your kindness." Lu Mingfei thanked the postman sincerely, and then scratched his cheek shyly, "But you said there is danger here, but what exactly is going on?"
The postman smiled slightly, suddenly jumped up, and climbed onto the bicycle that was said to have been stolen from somewhere else: "It's up to you to discover it yourself. After all, in this place, even a thought may be taken away by that person.
Bit captured. I can’t tell you the answer directly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the postman pedaled hard, pedaling the bicycle very fast, turning the bicycle into a motorcycle. After a few seconds, he disappeared from Lu Mingfei's sight.
"By the way, finally, I'll give you a fun little prop that can help you see through some things. I hope you like it, but it's best not to wear it in front of people in Utopia~"
The words disappeared in the wind, and a shiny object fell into Lu Mingfei's hand.
Lu Mingfei subconsciously caught it, and then he was confused for a moment. Why did he leave so suddenly?
"Hey - wait, don't run, hey -! Why are you running!" Lu Mingfei shouted twice towards the place where the postman disappeared, but the other party had already gone far and was not there at all.
hear.
Lu Mingfei had no choice but to smile bitterly and look at the last thing the postman threw to him - a monocle.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei glanced at it, then put the glasses into his pocket.
As the postman's green figure disappeared from the street, the hotel door behind Lu Mingfei opened a crack, and a middle-aged man walked out holding a little girl's hand.
Apparently he was a guest who rested in the hotel last night.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Mingfei standing alone on the street, and asked politely: "Excuse me, sir, what are you doing here? Do you need any help?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Lu Mingfei had not yet reacted to the chaos just now, and just responded subconsciously.
The middle-aged man asked again with concern, and after confirming that Lu Mingfei did not need help, he turned around and left with the little girl.
Lu Mingfei stood there for a long time, then slowly continued walking forward.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As he walked, he was thinking, what did the postman mean when he left?
He could now clearly determine that the postman must be someone very familiar with this place, and he seemed to have good intentions toward them. Maybe they could get a lot of useful information from him.
But the postman was so weird that I couldn't figure out what this guy wanted to do.
Lu Mingfei frowned and thought hard for a long time, but still had no clue.
Before he knew it, Lu Mingfei had arrived at the small town market. Mobile street vendors selling vegetables, fruits, and cooked food were shouting and greeting pedestrians on the roadside.
Everyone's face shows optimism and liveliness.
Not far away, there was a pair of bands playing happily, filled with the color of a thriving life.
"Hey, young man, would you like some freshly baked bread?" The proprietress of a bakery on the roadside looked at Lu Mingfei, who seemed to be a little distracted, and greeted him cordially.
"Our bread here is the most affordable in the area. Tingen cake and lemon cake are also very delicious. Maybe you can also try our popular sweet ice tea."
When Lu Mingfei heard the words, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the place where the sound came from.
It was a warmly decorated bakery with a sign of "Slin Bakery" and a sweet smell coming from it. The owner of the bakery was a woman in her seventies, and her hair was already partially gray.
, with a gentle smile on his face, looking very kind and kind.
Waves of tempting aroma hit him. Lu Mingfei licked his lips and swallowed in dismay.
From last night to this morning, their food was only dry black bread. Although it was filling, the taste was a bit unsatisfactory. Now that he smelled this tempting food aroma, he immediately felt his stomach growl.
Got up.
The freshly baked bread in the bakery was filled with oil, which attracted Lu Mingfei's attention, making him unable to look away due to the temptation of making delicious food.
"Um, old lady..." Lu Mingfei swallowed and tried to stay calm, but there was still blush on both sides of his cheeks, "I don't have enough money..."
The old lady did not drive him away as Lu Mingfei suspected, but still wore a kind smile: "Are you the tourist who was trapped in the storm yesterday? The weather here is not very stable, and storms often occur
.Sometimes there are people who are trapped here because of the storm. Because of this, some people may have lost their money in the storm."
"But it doesn't matter. You can come to my place and drink a cup of free sweet ice tea. This is specially provided for passing guests. If you are willing to help me, a helpless old lady, I can give you a little reward.
."
Lu Mingfei was immediately excited.
He is extremely poor now. He even has to save bread for every meal because it is given on credit.
If he can't find a job again, he will probably starve to death.
But now this old lady is willing to provide him with free drinks and give him a job.
It’s simply an angel in capital letters!
Lu Mingfei said eagerly: "Really?"
The old lady nodded with a smile, called Lu Mingfei over, and then handed him a cup of brown-red liquid: "Here, this is our store's specialty drink, which is very popular among young people."
Lu Mingfei took it and took a sip. It tasted a bit like iced black tea, but not as exciting. The tea taste was stronger, more refreshing, sweet and smooth, and people couldn't help but squint their eyes, savor it carefully, and marvel at it.
.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take a few more sips.
Seeing this, the old lady smiled peacefully: "It seems you like it very much. I have many more here, so feel free to take them."
Lu Mingfei shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, thank you, let me help you with your work." How could he be so embarrassed to continue to take advantage of others after drinking their free stuff?
As he spoke, he helped the old lady take out the baked bread.
Through simple chat, Lu Mingfei learned that the old woman’s name was Wendy Slim. She was not originally a resident of Utopia, but a southerner. She and her husband went to a small town called Tingen many years ago.
, and then moved to this place called Utopia.
"Utopia is a very nice place. I have planned to retire here. Although the climate here is not very good and there are frequent storms, for me, the most valuable thing is the environment here." Mrs. Wendy said with a smile.
.
"Many people in Utopia are cheerful, optimistic and full of enthusiasm for life. Have you seen that band on the street? It is not a professional band, but a group composed purely of amateurs. Among them are government employees and magistrates.
, there are solicitors, professional police officers, school teachers, candy factory workers, shop owners... just bring whatever musical instrument you want."
"On certain rest days, they will take to the streets, starting from the Municipal Square, going around the city, and returning to the Church of Santa Arianna near the square. This is our famous 'Music Parade'. If you love music and life,
You will definitely like it. This is the love of life. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely participate. Unfortunately, my hands and feet are not very flexible now."
Mrs. Wendy sighed.
Listening to her description, a picture emerged in Lu Mingfei's mind - a group of musicians or artists dressed in different styles, strolling on the streets around the church, singing songs casually, melodious, yet lively
and joy.
This sounds very beautiful.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but become fascinated.
This seems to be really just a peaceful and happy town. He even wants to retire here. Except that there seems to be no games, the rest is really good. It is said that the food here is also very delicious. But because they are currently
I just can't afford the predicament.
However, Lu Mingfei quickly collected his thoughts. Not to mention that he had not yet reached the age of retirement, he had not forgotten his current situation.
besides……
The strangeness here, and the reminder given to him by the postman wearing a monocle before.
He needs to figure out the meaning behind these anomalies before he can judge what to do next.
Now their first priority is to get out of here!
How can I really have the opportunity to travel here again in the future?
Lu Mingfei helped Mrs. Wendy bake a lot of bread. Seeing that Lu Mingfei had not been working for a long time, Mrs. Wendy thoughtfully asked Lu Mingfei to rest beside her for a while, and then she continued to receive customers.
Lu Mingfei sat on the bench in the store with his hands in his pockets.
Then, he bumped into something cold and round.
This is……
The monocle the postman gave him earlier!
Lu Mingfei took it out from his pocket. It was a very ordinary monocle, made of glass, and the frame was also made of simple wire. It didn't seem to be anything special.
So why did the postman say he couldn't wear it in front of people in Utopia?
Half puzzled, half curious, Lu Mingfei picked up the glasses and stuck them on his right eye...
Then, his eyes widened in horror and his hands froze in mid-air. The monocle that was not stuck slipped down his cheek and fell to the ground and shattered.
But Lu Mingfei doesn’t care about that much anymore…
because……
He saw...
Thin black threads all over the sky, and... bloated monsters and rotten customers controlled by the black threads...
