The girl in the white skirt smiled first, and then said: "You believe in fairy tales, how can people not grow old? If you want to hear the original story of the fairy tale city, you have to go to an elderly person, but the old people in the fairy tale city will either die of illness
Or they have moved to other cities, and the rest of them stay at home and don’t like to go out.”
"The owner of the Jimu Bun and the Long-Nosed Nut Pie are the old people from the original Fairy Tale City, but you may not be there if you look for them."
"I'll talk about it casually." Xu Huo bought two umbrellas and gave one to her, "Let's eat together."
The girl in the white skirt smiled shyly.
The two had dinner together and then separated. The girl in the white dress held an umbrella and left the noisy main street and entered a complicated neighborhood. However, as soon as she walked in, she was stopped by a man and a woman. The woman held a dagger against her.
on his neck, "What did that man ask you just now?"
The girl in the white skirt looked panicked and took out the tour guide fee Xu Huo paid her, "My money is all here..."
"Who wants your money!" The man shouted, but the woman grabbed the money first and glared at the man, "Don't give it for free, it's our money anyway!"
The man grabbed the shoulder of the girl in the white dress and said fiercely: "If I ask you anything, tell the truth. I promise not to hurt you."
The girl in the white skirt swallowed her saliva and said, "The man just now was just a tourist, so he asked the old man where he could find the Brick Fairy Tale City."
"Say quickly! Where!"
"Building brick steamed buns and delicious sausage shop..." the girl in the white skirt whispered.
"Where else can you find elderly people besides these two places?" the man asked again.
"No more, no more...most of the old people in Fairy Tale City have died of illness..." the girl in the white skirt said hurriedly.
The man then left her alone, exchanged glances with the woman, and left in a hurry.
After they left, the girl in the white skirt picked up the umbrella that had fallen on the ground, wiped the stains on her skirt, and continued walking forward.
After walking for only a few minutes, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner, grabbed her throat and asked, "What did those two people ask you?"
The girl in the white skirt breathed hard and stumbled: "They want to... know where the guest I brought... is going to?"
"Place."
"The Bear Claw Restaurant...and the Sausage Shop...and nothing else..."
When she was about to suffocate, the hand suddenly let go. The girl in the white dress knelt on the ground and kept coughing. At this time, a tall man jumped down from above and handed her a handkerchief.
The girl in the white dress looked at him fearfully, "Do you also want to ask where that guest is going?"
The tall man gave her a wad of money.
The girl in the white skirt hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it, "He is going to find the old man in Fairy Tale City. I told him about the delicious sausage shop and the building block steamed bun shop."
The man nodded and left.
After a while, the girl in the white skirt stood up again, put the money in her bag, picked up the umbrella, turned it towards the sky, put it on her right shoulder, walked briskly out of the path, and headed towards the accommodation area.
In a dessert shop a few blocks away, Xu Huo looked at the screen of the anti-theft monitor he bought from the mall after listening to Wang Qiao, Gao Baimei, a stranger, and Shen Tai interrogating the girl in the white dress. The point above moved deeper into the accommodation area and finally stopped at the Bear Claw Restaurant.
Tapping his fingers on the screen, he turned off the anti-theft device, paid, left the dessert shop, and went straight to the Bear Claw restaurant.
It was already dusk at this time, the Fairy Tale City had been closed, and tourists began to look for a place to stay.
Although some diners work tirelessly to educate outsiders about the horrors of Bear Claw Restaurant, there are still many tourists staying here.
Xu Huo followed the waiter to register, and saw the umbrella he gave to the girl in the white dress in the item box in the corridor on the fifth floor.
With a subtle smile, he opened the room he reserved.
Not long after he checked in, Tao Chengxin, carrying a backpack, walked into the Bear Claw restaurant in the last few minutes before closing.
The sky quickly darkened, and the fairy tale city gradually became deserted and quiet.
Late at night when the waiters were no longer walking around the store, there was a creaking sound in the corridor on the fifth floor. The sound passed by Xu Huo's door and went downstairs.
Not long after, the smell of food wafted up from downstairs.
"Is there a late-night snack in the middle of the night?" Some guests who were not asleep walked out of the room and went downstairs muttering.
After a while, Xu Huo also came out, glanced at the room opposite, and headed towards the stairs.
As soon as he left, the door to the opposite room opened, and Tao Chengxin followed cautiously.
The first and second floors of the Bear Claw Restaurant are both dining areas. There are no lights on these two floors at night, but Xu Huo's eyes have evolved night vision, and he can see clearly what's going on in the restaurant.
In addition to the guests who just passed by his door, there were already six people sitting in the restaurant. They each occupied a dining table. Their expressions were a little dull, but their hands were hanging on the table, as if they were drawing something.
He looked at the door for a few seconds, then turned around and continued down the stairs to the restaurant on the first floor.
The restaurant on the first floor was also in darkness, but there was a short figure stiffly cleaning the stains on the floor. He neither touched anything nor made any sound during his actions.
As if feeling the gaze from behind, the figure suddenly turned around. Xu Huo first hid by the door, then grabbed the string and hung it upside down on the top of the first floor. At the same time, a kitchen knife flew out of the door and was inserted halfway into the wall. In front of him, a shadow jumped out of the door, jumped onto the handle of the kitchen knife, squatted on it, and turned his head 180 degrees left and right!
Turns out to be a puppet man.
Its limbs are all made of wood, and its joints are connected with a white soft object. It rotates without hindrance and without sound. Its eyes and mouth are made of two beads and two pieces of wood. It wears a hat on its head, although some wood He is stiff, but his hands and feet do not bump when he imitates human movements.
The puppet had no ears, and its eyes made of glass beads seemed to have no vision function. After its head turned 360 degrees without finding the target, it jumped off the wall and pulled out the kitchen knife. .
Just when it was about to return to the restaurant on the first floor with the kitchen knife crookedly, the bell for passing food suddenly came from the second floor. The puppet's head twisted back, and the two wooden bars of its mouth turned down to make an angry expression.
, turned upside down and rushed towards the second floor!
Then there were chopping sounds and screams from upstairs. In just ten seconds, the chopping and killing stopped abruptly with the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground - it broke out suddenly and then stopped suddenly.
Xu Huo lay still where he was. Suddenly, he raised his head as if feeling something, and faced a wooden head that appeared silently at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
The puppet man hung crookedly on the railing, his head placed on his shoulders, and his two eyes stared straight at him.
