Chapter 274 The Mist Appears Again
The sky gradually darkened, and a beautiful girl in a red dress walked in the corridor. As night approached, the street, which should have been bustling, was inexplicably cold and quiet. The noisy voices gradually faded away, and only the sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed in the air around them, which inexplicably gave people a sense of horror.
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped crying. She stared blankly ahead. The last rays of the setting sun cast a glow that made her figure even more fiery. In the shadows in front of her where the sun could not reach, a human figure was standing silently.
The shadow was too dark. Even though the sun had not completely set, Su Xiaoqiang could not clearly see the man's specific appearance. She could only see his general shape.
How should I put it? It felt very strange. His arms were a little too long, and his shoulders were hunched, causing his already long arms to hang down to his knees. His hair was also a little long, and with his head lowered, the hair in front of him hung down, blocking his eyes and face, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
A street that was too quiet, a girl walking alone in a red dress, a man looking a little weird in the shadows... This looked like the beginning of a horror movie.
Su Xiaoqiang would never do something as tasteless and brainless as screaming loudly. She remembered what Lu Mingfei had told her some time ago, that she should not go into alleys or places that looked weird, and she had always done so.
However, she had walked this road more than once. It was so wide and bright that it could not be considered an alley. After leaving here and crossing the street, she would reach the villa community where her family lived. The public security was first-rate and it was not a weird place at all.
But this road, which I have walked many times, seemed strange today.
Su Xiaoqiang took out her cell phone, froze for a moment, then turned around pretending to answer the call and walked towards the sunlight. She looked behind her in the reflection of the cell phone screen, and the inexplicable figure was still in the shadow, seemingly not caring whether she passed by or not.
It's just that he...or it occasionally looked up, and the flash of golden light in his eyes surprised Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the figure disappeared in the reflection of the phone, and then looked at the phone which had lost signal for some reason.
She looked behind her cautiously. There was no strange and frightening figure suddenly appearing, nor was there anyone who should have caught up with her... it seemed like there was nothing. Even if she was very slow, she should have noticed something strange.
The noise of the crowd disappeared completely. Even if it was a weekend, this place shouldn't be so deserted.
Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but quicken her pace. At the end of the road, across the street, she would reach the villa area where her family lived. As long as she got there, she would be safe...
Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound from the front, like a glass jar rolling on the ground, which scared Su Xiaoqiang. She looked forward and saw a jar with strange colors, which looked like some kind of beverage, slowly rolling towards her.
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly couldn't move, and her eyes were focused on the jar that was approaching. The liquid in the jar was so beautiful and colorful, as if it was the most beautiful, tempting, and delicious cocktail in the world.
Only beautiful people can match such a beautiful cocktail. Beautiful colors are reflected in beautiful eyes, and Su Xiaoqiang suddenly feels that she is the beautiful person who deserves this beauty.
She heard a voice whispering in her heart: drink it, and she will evolve. Then, she will see the real world and have the qualifications to stay with Lu Mingfei...
Su Xiaoqiang quickened her pace, passed the jar emitting beautiful colors, and ran forward as if escaping.
The villa community was right in front of her, and she would be safe after passing here... However, when she stood in front of the villa area where her home was supposed to be, Su Xiaoqiang was suddenly stunned, with a look of strangeness and confusion in her eyes.
Su Xiaoqiang looked up in confusion, looking at the huge door that replaced the villa complex... It was not quite accurate to call it a door, because it was just two black metal pillars supporting the beams and spinning.
This is a torii gate. Su Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered that when her parents took her to Japan, there were such torii gates at the entrances of those shrines. But where did Su Nan get the torii gate? It was a huge torii gate that was over 50 meters high and might not even exist in Japan.
This large torii gate already surprised Su Xiaoqiang, but what surprised her even more was the ancient building behind the torii gate, which seemed to be made of black metal, majestic and seemed to be floating in the air.
It is so big that it seems to have no end. It is also so high that it seems to be in the sky.
This is an ancient and majestic city, and there is no such magnificent city in the world. All the buildings in the city are black iron, but they are emitting a strange glow. The black tiles of those buildings are carved with cirrus clouds and dragon beasts, and huge chains extend along the eaves, which are hung with countless wind chimes.
Su Xiaoqiang saw a tall tower standing in the center of the city. The top of the tower was covered with spikes that stretched for dozens of meters, like a sharp sword. There were similar spikes on the roofs of other buildings, but they were much smaller in scale.
The entire city is densely packed with spikes, just like a black iron thorn ridge.
Su Xiaoqiang was speechless, like an ordinary person who had strayed into the kingdom of God, and was stunned by the grandeur that did not exist in the human world. The wind chimes in the city swayed slightly, making a clear and ethereal sound, which gradually spread to the entire empty city, which no one knew whether it existed.
There was a strange totem on the giant torii. Su Xiaoqiang could only barely make out that it was a group of people with human bodies and snake tails.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps behind her brought Su Xiaoqiang back to her senses. She thought some idiot had finally caught up with her, but when she turned around, she found it was the strange figure in the shadows.
It appeared behind Su Xiaoqiang like a ghost, holding the jar of strange colored liquid in its hand. Su Xiaoqiang saw its appearance for the first time, and its golden eyes like animal pupils scared her.
A strange figure walked towards Su Xiaoqiang, picked up the jar and wanted to give it to her. The look of unwillingness to refuse made Su Xiaoqiang run subconsciously.
But before she had run for long, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped. A fog came from nowhere and enveloped the surroundings. Except for the front and back roads, the rest of the roads and circles were covered by the fog, which was obviously bad if you stepped into it.
There were two roads in front of Su Xiaoqiang. One was in front of her, and the end was a city that was obviously not for human beings to set foot in. The other was already blocked by the person with golden pupils behind her.
Su Xiaoqiang forced herself to calm down. When she was blindfolded and watching horror movies through the gaps between her fingers, what she hated most was those people who yelled and lost their composure. This was useless except for scaring people and causing trouble.
But after calming down, Su Xiaoqiang thought it would be better to shout loudly. The torii in front of her was the one. She always felt that after stepping into it, the strange figure behind her might not chase after her.
However, she might face a more troublesome situation than the current one.
The strange figure behind her was still approaching her, and the strange liquid in his hand seemed to whisper that drinking it would end this nightmare. But Su Xiaoqiang didn't dare. She was afraid that if she really touched this thing, she would drift away from that idiot...
Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang was shocked. She heard the familiar sound of a motorcycle engine coming from the fog.
Su Xiaoqiang's tense mind suddenly relaxed. She could not care less and shouted in the direction of the engine sound: "Lu Mingfei! I'm here!"
The engine sound became louder, and the Nordic goddess tore through the mist and descended beside Su Xiaoqiang with a shrill wind. The strange figure flew out heavily, and the jar in its hand broke into pieces, and the evolution medicine that countless people coveted was crushed by the wheels. Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei, who had descended from the sky, with surprise. Although she was curious about why he was wearing a mask and why he changed his clothes, it was indeed him. If he was unrecognizable with a mask and changed his clothes, then they really had wasted the past two years.
"Come up!" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Xiaoqiang, who had suddenly lost him, was now safe and sound.
Lu Mingfei couldn't let a beautiful girl go home alone. He parked his car close to Su Xiaoqiang's house, but he still followed her on his bike.
But after turning a corner, she suddenly disappeared. At the same time, she disappeared in Su Nan for a whole fog and then appeared again.
Su Xiaoqiang climbed onto the back seat of the Beiao Goddess and hugged Lu Mingfei's waist tightly with both hands: "Why are you wearing a mask?"
After she reminded him, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had entered the disguise state without knowing when.
Lu Mingfei turned his head to glance at the magnificent black iron city. His arrival seemed to have stimulated the place. The wind chimes on the chains were shaking violently, emitting a sound that made him very disgusted.
While searching for Su Xiaoqiang in the fog, he also heard the spreading sound of wind chimes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of this place through the fog.
"Hold me tight, this time I'm really going to speed up without leaving any room for maneuver!" Lu Mingfei only had time to shout to the person behind him.
Leaving aside the city that was beginning to become strange, the Deadpool that he had knocked away earlier had already stood up. Lu Mingfei glanced at him casually and was surprised. Upon closer inspection, this guy's skin was so dry that it was almost attached to the bones, and there was no flesh or blood.
"Hunting, attack, 1200; defense, 1100; agility, 1100. The Deadpool transformed by the fallen royal blood holder was superior to ordinary hybrids in life, and will be superior to ordinary Deadpool after death."
Lu Mingfei was shocked. All three measurements exceeded 1,000, and he could still maintain his human form. This was something that ordinary Deadpools could not do. Also, he had seen the word "Royal Blood" when the question mark of the white figure's entry was cleared.
But now is not the time to think about these things. The Nordic goddess's wheels lifted up and knocked the hunter, who was different from the ordinary Deadpool, away again. Although this thing looked quite special, it was not a big threat to him now. However, with the little goddess behind him, he didn't want to get entangled in this place.
The Nordic goddess let out a roar, tearing through the fog as she came, raising a gust of wind and quickly disappearing into the depths of the fog.
All the wind chimes gradually fell silent, and the sound of bells that echoed throughout the city gradually fell silent. The fog spread, covering this city that seemed to be built for God.
……
The fog had dispersed without knowing when, and Lu Mingfei looked at his disguise that had been automatically removed, and slowly parked the car on the side of the road where no one was. He looked back, and after it was completely dark, the bustling streets were extremely lively.
People go for a ride as they should, and sell goods as they should. Everything is as it should be.
"Are we... getting out?" Su Xiaoqiang looked up weakly from behind him, not at all as calm as she was just now when she was facing the hunt and the strange city alone.
Lu Mingfei comforted softly: "Yes, we are safe now."
If the fall during the day was a close call, then the incident at Nibelungen was also a close call, but the degree of danger was completely different.
"How did you get there?" Lu Mingfei asked. He was not surprised that Nibelungen appeared again, although it meant that his peaceful days were coming to an end.
...But if you think about it carefully, it seems that his peaceful days never began.
He wanted to find out whether this was aimed at Su Xiaoqiang or was just an accident. He had experienced Deadpool invading from the Nibelung many times, but this seemed to be the first time that an ordinary person had mistakenly entered the Nibelung.
Su Xiaoqiang raised her head from Lu Mingfei's back and shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, I just walked home as usual."
Lu Mingfei remained silent and could only comfort Su Xiaoqiang to go home and rest first.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei's eyes, which had returned to their normal color, and suddenly asked, "Just now, did your eyes also turn golden?"
Lu Mingfei paused, scratched his head and said, "It's an illusion. Go back and have a good rest. Just think of it as a dream and forget it when you wake up."
"…If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Su Xiaoqiang was silent for a moment.
Then, she suddenly puffed up her lips and said, "How could you do that? I was crying just now, and you were following me the whole time. Didn't you come up to ask me when you saw me crying?"
Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang who had switched to the little angel mode. He was a little surprised that she did not ask about the golden pupils. The little angel who had always troubled him had grown up, which made him feel a little melancholy.
Lu Mingfei smiled silently, not thinking about that: "I can still tell the difference between real crying and fake crying. It's better to say that I can't tell the difference, then we have known each other for nothing in the past two years."
"How can fake crying not be real crying?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at him angrily, "Also, you really made me walk back home. This is something you can really do!"
"Otherwise, I'll carry you back." Lu Mingfei was a little happy, happy that Su Xiaoqiang could recover and have fun with him.
Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and looked at him, and suddenly hooked her finger at him: "Come closer, I have something to tell you."
Lu Mingfei raised his head with some caution: "If you want to bounce your head back, just say so. I'm not stopping you. Of course, whether you can bounce it back depends on your ability."
"Do you think I would do something as tasteless as you?" Su Xiaoqiang glared at Lu Mingfei unhappily.
She knelt on the back seat of the Nordic Goddess, leaned over to Lu Mingfei's ear, and whispered softly, "Listen, Lu Mingfei, I like you. I don't care if you have a fiancée or if anyone forces you to do anything. I just like you."
As she spoke, she looked at the stunned Lu Mingfei and kissed him on his mouth which was open in surprise.
