Hao Ren froze on the spot for a moment, and waited until Lily walked a certain distance before rubbing his eyes vigorously. When he took a closer look, he still saw the ordinary girl with short hair in front of him.
However, he was really sure that he really saw a pair of weird pointed ears just now! He could even clearly remember the appearance of those ears: triangular, growing on Lily's head, standing up energetically, covered with silvery white.
You can’t go wrong with the beautiful fluff! Hao Ren has always been very confident in his eyesight and short-term memory.
But now there was nothing on Lily's head, and the scene he just saw was really not in line with the norm, so he patted his face and comforted himself: "Why are you so sleepy so early today, and you are hallucinating."
"What did you just say, landlord?" Lily suddenly turned her head and looked over, her big eyes shining brightly under the night sky, "What hallucination or something?"
Hao Renxin said that this girl's ears were really good. She had heard him muttering so quietly just now, but he didn't show it on his face. He just waved his hand casually: "It's okay, I saw it wrong. Let's go quickly, tonight.
I still have to settle you down."
"Oh," Lily walked ahead carrying a huge box, and kept talking as she walked, "By the way, landlord, do you have a place to eat nearby? I haven't eaten yet... How about I go to your place today?"
Can we eat? I'll pay for the food. Hey, landlord, why are you walking behind? You lead the way, I don't know the way..."
Hao Ren caught up with him in two steps. He felt that although this chatty girl was a little bit temperamental, she was quite interesting to be frank. He said casually: "It's okay, I'm in charge of the food. Anyway, I'm the only one who can do more or less."
pot."
As soon as he finished speaking, the "plop la la" sound that had just sounded suddenly came from above again!
This time he looked up faster than before, and he really saw a bat-like black shadow as big as an eagle crossing the night sky!
Of course he didn't think it was really a bat, he just thought it was a big bird flying from somewhere looking for food in the residential area: not far from this place was a wasteland, and it was not unusual for wild birds to fly into the residential area occasionally, but he was worried that Lily would
This place had a bad impression, so he casually reassured me: "Don't worry, wild birds may have flown in. This place is quite close to the wasteland."
Lily's voice suddenly came from a very close place, and it sounded a little urgent: "Landlord, why don't you go over first, I...I will follow after, I have something else to do!"
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this. He was confused and said casually: "How can this be done? I have to show you the way. The paths in this place are winding and winding. People who live here can easily get lost... Why are you so close?"
Only then did he notice that Lily's voice was very close when she spoke just now. When he turned around, he saw the latter's face only a few inches away from his. Those big, unusually bright eyes were staring straight at him. Although they were beautiful, they were still in the dark.
It was really scary in the darkness, and Hao Ren jumped back half a meter: "I'm telling you! I'm a serious person!"
This is his problem. When he gets nervous, he talks nonsense.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hao Ren noticed that Lily had a somewhat anxious expression on her face. She looked up at the night sky and sniffed her nose a few times: "Landlord, please leave first. I can really keep up with you. I remember."
Your smell... Hey, why are you so mother-in-law? I really have my own things to do!"
"No!" Hao Ren's stubborn temper also rose. He didn't even bother to discuss what "remember your smell" meant. He just said with a straight face, "What if something happens? I'll throw you away in the dark."
In this place? I feel very uncomfortable - what on earth can't you say about something?"
As I said before, Hao Ren is really a good person - at least a person with a normal sense of responsibility. He brought Lily to this place, so he felt that he had the responsibility to deliver her to his home safely, even though he was extremely strong.
Girl, but this has nothing to do with whether he is worried or not: if something happens to this girl, his conscience will be uneasy.
And he couldn't figure out what big thing a girl like him who had just come from out of town could do at this juncture?
Lily's face was already very anxious, and her behavior was obviously strange: she put her big box on the ground with a loud "thunk" sound, and then kept looking up at the surrounding high walls. There were two sides of the path on both sides.
The three-story old building was a symbol of the wealth of the residents when this place was still glorious. However, as time has passed, the former bright buildings have turned into mottled old houses, with only uneven high and dark walls blocking both sides of the path.
, leaving only a narrow strip of night sky between the buildings.
Lily's eyes quickly wandered between these high walls. At the same time, she began to twitch her nose frequently, as if she was trying to distinguish some smell from the air, while moving her hands and feet lightly. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren, no matter how slow he was, could not help but notice.
It was time to realize that something was wrong. Although he still felt that the girl in front of him was strange in every aspect, the two consecutive strange noises in the sky just now had already made him a little nervous, so he had no time to pay attention. Now seeing Lily's strange behavior, he
Naturally, he knew what the other party had discovered: "Liu Lili...what's wrong?"
"Just call me Lily," the other party said subconsciously, and then looked at Hao Ren in surprise, "Hey, landlord, why haven't you left yet?"
"You didn't hear what I just said, did you?" Hao Ren carefully leaned next to Lily. Although his tone was relaxed, he clenched his fists. He couldn't see anything unusual around him, but he did feel the atmosphere here.
It became weird, a faint smell of blood and a cool breeze that was not suitable for this time of year were spreading from the dark corners in all directions - to be honest, he felt a little trembling in his calves.
Hao Ren considers himself very brave, but you can't stop the weird situation in front of you.
Until now, Hao Ren didn't know what was going on. He had heard many urban ghost stories and modern versions of ghost stories, including ghosts in alleys and ghosts seeking death at crossroads, but he had always regarded them as
It was a pastime after dinner, but what does it count now?
At first, he could explain the past by saying that he was neurotic and "infected" by Lily's weird behavior, but as time passed, the smell of blood in the air became so strong that when he opened his mouth, he could almost take a mouthful of fishy sweetness, and the cool breeze came from all directions.
His breath was turning to frost. No matter how much he believed in science and rejected superstition, he knew that something was abnormal about him. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Lily had urged him to leave just now, and that this girl was "everything was normal around her".
He had already shown vigilance, and remembering that the other party was on guard without panic... He suddenly understood that this girl whom he had criticized as a "good-for-nothing girl" knew exactly what was going on!
"Let me go, which world line is wrong? How did I encounter this situation..." Hao Ren looked around carefully, enduring the pungent smell of blood and the ubiquitous cold, feeling that his thinking was slowing down.
Come down, "Is this still the real world? Where is the promised happy life of approaching science?"
"Landlord, I'm sorry for getting you involved. This 'thing' might be here to find me," Lily's voice suddenly came from behind Hao Ren, with a hint of hoarseness, "You are a good person, better than the people I have met before.
They are all better, so I will try my best to let you survive, I promise!"
"Don't send good guy cards at this time..." Hao Ren's teeth chattered, but he still turned around and complained. However, after he saw Lily's appearance, he was speechless:
An almost unfamiliar girl stood next to him. She had silver hair reaching her waist and a beautiful appearance, but she had a pair of golden eyes that were completely non-human. Her pale gold pupils were even glowing slightly under the night.
The glow was completely different from the reflection of normal eyes. A pair of silver-white wolf-like ears stood upright above her head, shaking from time to time in the cold wind, and sensitively turned to every weak sound source around her.
Behind the girl, a bright silver tail emerged from the gap in her clothes and was waving in the air.
A girl who looks like a wolf...or as the popular saying goes, with animal ears?
Hao Ren didn't know why he could still complain, but he knew that his life was more enjoyable.
