1766, Grudge (13)

 Bachi Nu, surnamed Zou, was from Qi State. She once left a famous saying: "Who is me or the beauty of Xu Gong in the north of the city?"

Xu Gong in the north of the city is one of the most beautiful people in Qi State, and is known as the "Slender Ghost Shadow".

……puff.

Although it is not good to laugh at ghosts in a world where there are clearly ghosts, when Jin Jing thought of Ba Chi Nu, her first reaction was the nonsense of Ye Ke and Lin Xinping, two people who hurt their friends.

The ancients were often "eight feet tall", but was that because the Han ruler was shorter than the modern ruler?

Unlike Hanako, who must be in the toilet, and the slit girl, who must be at a certain crossroads, there is no "set" place where the eight-foot girl usually hangs out.

According to the original legend, the eight-foot-old girl usually wanders in the countryside and will track down boys who see her. She can seduce him by pretending to be the voice of his relatives. She also seems to have vague abilities such as walking through walls and teleporting.

Ghostly abilities.

According to common sense, the entire Runer City can be considered a countryside.

In addition, since children in this world cannot see ghosts, the eight-foot girl's behavior pattern of "catching little boys" may change, such as indiscriminately attacking anyone who witnesses her.

However, if we limit ourselves to this world, there is a clue, and that is the previous "TV program", which is clearly the main perspective of the Eight-foot Girl, and since smartphones have not yet appeared at this time, it must not be the Eight-foot Girl holding the

Taking selfies on mobile phones along the way.

In that "program", Jin Jing saw several obvious buildings and signs. After repeated comparisons with the town map, she basically determined the location of the street, although the eight-foot girl was probably no longer there.

But there should be some clues.

Jin Jing looked around and made sure again that she was not going the wrong way before moving on.

It seems that after leaving Tongshou Elementary School, the depression and coldness that I have always felt in the air of this town have disappeared. This feeling is difficult to describe. If I have to say it, it is the kind... used in horror movies.

It felt like the weird music that set off the atmosphere suddenly stopped.

Maybe it's because she has a "mark of a ghost" on her body, but the eight-foot girl is obviously intelligent, so it would be very troublesome if she just scares away without attacking.

...So, BGM is indeed very important, but I actually started to worry about whether the ghosts would stop attacking me, and I needed to reflect on it.

Since Run'er City has always been shrouded in clouds, the time cannot be determined by the position of the sun. When Jin Jing felt hungry and took out her mobile phone to check, she realized that it was close to one o'clock in the afternoon.

Although sleep can be skipped, eating obviously cannot. Although I don't know what the consequences of not eating for a long time will be, it probably won't be too good. After all, even "Bai Jingjing" packed her own luggage with "emergency food"

.

[Emergency food (mission items)]

【Composed of compressed biscuits, boiled beans and dried beef, you can get the energy you need for a whole day after use.】

[Number of uses remaining: 7/7]

[‘Since it’s an emergency, you can’t have too high expectations for the taste.’]

The small words on this prop successfully dispelled Jin Jing’s idea of ​​“taste it”.

However, it is obviously too late to return to Fujiang Hotel for lunch now. Let's find a restaurant nearby. We shouldn't be so unlucky that we directly break into the evil ghost's lair or something...

[Antique·Yumcha·Kurosawa Coffee Shop (safe area)]

Tsk…

The unexpected and reasonable scene prompts only made Jin Jing pause for a moment before walking in as usual.

How should I put it? I'm used to it. These always appear in safe areas in the corners.

"[Welcome~]"

The person who greeted Jin Jing was a little girl of about ten years old, wearing a solemn black kimono, short white hair, and red eyes. Her smart eyes turned around Jin Jing, and she pursed her lips as if

He suppressed a laugh, and then said in a clear and slightly reverberated voice:

"[Sister, what do you want to eat?]"

"Hmm..." Jin Jing thought about the content on the sign that attracted her in: "Can I have a coffee omelette rice set?"

"[Okay, please sit over here~]" The little girl led Jin Jing into the store, and at the same time shouted inside: "[Sister Kurosawa~One set of omelette rice~]"

No one responded in the back room separated by a curtain, but the sound of a stove igniting could be heard.

"[Sister, please sit here, I'll grind coffee for you~]" After the little girl took Jin Jing to a window seat, she ran behind the counter and started rummaging for something.

Freshly ground, is it so particular? Jin Jing sat on the seat and looked around at the decoration of the store.

In addition to the counter, this coffee shop has eight four-person seats and four double seats. There are no private rooms. The internal structure is almost entirely made of wood with beautiful grains. The additional decorations are mainly in deep black and tranquil white.

There are decorative plants that look like algae on the pillars, and there are many cute dolls on the wall decoration shelves. There is a staircase leading to the second floor next to the kitchen, but there is a sign that no one is allowed to enter.

The little girl who is struggling with the coffee grinder is obviously not a "manager", so the real "manager" should be the one cooking in the kitchen? Isn't that a little too down-to-earth?

Buzz buzz——

"[Sister~ Do you want latte art? What pattern do you want?]" At this time, the little white-haired girl successfully got the coffee machine and stuck her head out from behind the counter to greet her.

"Just do whatever you want," Jin Jing glanced at a landscape painting on the wall: "Just white chrysanthemums."

"[...]" The little girl muttered something and retracted her head.

Chichi—huh.

At this time, the sound of cooking in the kitchen stopped, and then the curtain opened and a bride walked out.

No, it's not the bride, but a beautiful woman wearing traditional wedding dress "Bai Wugu", as if she is about to enter the wedding banquet hall, and she is holding an omelette rice in her hand.

...Omelet rice?

This overly fragmented picture made Jin Jing's vision blurry for a while. When he took a closer look, he saw that there was no white bride there. She was just a woman wearing an ordinary white kimono with short ear-length hair... Although she was indeed decent.

Wear a tray with omurice rice.

"[Hello, I am the owner of this shop, Kurosawa Fengse,]" the woman in white put the tray in front of Jin Jing, bowed slightly, and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice: "[The hospitality was not good.]"

"No, you're too polite." Jin Jing has never been able to deal with people who are too polite, especially when the other person is probably a very strong "administrator".

"[The coffee is ready~]" The little white-haired girl ran out from behind the counter with Kofi and put the coffee on the table: "[It's the 'White Chrysanthemum' you want, sister~]"

"Hmm..." Jin Jing looked at the Q-version avatar of a white-haired girl floating on the coffee, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

So your name is Bai Ju?

Bang, Kurosawa’s wife hit the little girl on the head.

"[Go upstairs and do your homework.]"
