Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

……

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look the postman up and down, he looked like an adult, how did he say those words confidently?

Also, what the hell did you do that made your father and uncle want to beat you up when they saw you?
All of a sudden, Lu Mingfei's stomach was full of groans and he didn't know how to vomit.

The postman seemed normal at first glance, why did he feel so inexplicable?
The postman glanced at Lu Mingfei with a smile, and suddenly said something very abrupt: "Shall I show you a magic trick?"

"Magic?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand what the postman's brain circuit was at all.How come it was family ethics just now, and now it has jumped to magic?
But Lu Mingfei nodded subconsciously.

The corner of the postman's mouth curled up, and he gently pinched his monocle with his hand. Lu Mingfei somehow raised his right hand, stretched out two fingers, and pinched 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 lightly, "My father is an outstanding psychiatrist, and my uncle is a magician. I just learned a little bit. In fact, what I am best at is steal."

While talking, the postman even proudly patted the bicycle next to him: "I just stole this bicycle from a family on the upper street. Rounding it up, it counts as something I stole from my uncle's house. "

"..." Lu Mingfei
I always feel that something is wrong...

wrong!

Something is wrong here, right?
What is going on with this guy? !

Why can someone say with such pride that he stole a bicycle?
It seems that after the postman stopped him behind him, the painting style gradually became weird...

Lu Mingfei finally choked out a sentence: "Why are you telling me this?"

If he continued to hold back, he would suffer internal injuries.This guy stopped himself suddenly just to say some unknown words and show off his theft?
Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably that he agreed with this guy's parents, and this brat must beat him up.

I don't know how it got so big.

Didn't someone beat him to death?
The postman suddenly withdrew his smile and became serious, as if he was a different person, and said something to Lu Mingfei in an extremely serious tone: "Actually, everything I said is true, I Once again, I warn you that 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 a storm. This place is actually only a part of him. "

Hearing these words, Lu Mingfei froze for an instant, staring at the person in front of him without moving.

The postman continued: "Don't you believe it? If my guess is correct, you should be in trouble now, and your companions should have discovered that everything here is completely different from what you know. Therefore, I advise you You, get out of here, otherwise, you will never be able to escape."

"..."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time, and 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 don't mean any harm to 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 unknowingly put down his guard.

Although I don't know what this person wants to do, at least, at present, this guy doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

"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, jumped up suddenly, and climbed onto the bicycle that was said to have been stolen from another place: "It's up to you to find out by yourself, after all, in this place, even a single thought may be stolen by that bicycle." Bit caught. I can't tell you the answer directly."

As soon as the words fell, the postman pedaled hard, pedaling the bicycle very fast, turning the bicycle into a motorcycle.After a few seconds, it disappeared from Lu Mingfei's field of vision.

"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~"

Gone with the wind, and a shiny object fell into Lu Mingfei's hand.

Lu Mingfei caught it subconsciously, and then was instantly confused. Why did he leave suddenly?
"Hey - wait, don't run, hey -! Why are you running!" Lu Mingfei yelled at the place where the postman disappeared, but the other party had already gone far away, and there was no sign of him at all. hear.

Lu Mingfei had no choice but to smile wryly and look at the last thing the postman threw to him - a monocle.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei glanced at it, and then stuffed the glasses into his pocket.

The next second after the green figure of the postman disappeared into the street, the door of the hotel behind Lu Mingfei opened a crack, and a middle-aged man came out holding the hand of a little girl.

It looked like a guest who was resting in the hotel last night.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Mingfei stunned on the street alone, and asked politely, "Excuse me, sir, what are you doing here? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Oh, nothing."

Lu Mingfei hadn't recovered from the confusion just now, but subconsciously responded.

The middle-aged man asked again with concern, and after confirming that Lu Mingfei didn't need help, he turned around and left with the little girl.

Lu Mingfei stood there in a daze for a long time, then continued to walk slowly.

He was thinking as he walked, what did the postman mean when he left?
He can now clearly confirm that the postman must be someone who is very familiar with this place, and he seems to have good intentions for them. Maybe they can learn a lot of useful information from him.

But the postman was really weird, and he couldn't figure out what this guy was trying 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 market in the small town.Mobile street vendors selling vegetables, fruits, and cooked food yelled loudly and greeted passers-by on the side of the road.

Everyone's face is full of optimism and vitality.

Not far away, there is also a pair of bands playing happily, filled with a thriving life.

"Hey, young man, would you like some freshly baked bread?" In a bakery by the side of the road, the lady proprietress looked at Lu Mingfei who seemed to be a bit out of his mind, and greeted him kindly.

"Our bread here is the cheapest in the area. Tingen cakes and lemon cakes are also delicious. Maybe you can try our popular sweet iced tea."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help raising his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

It was a warmly decorated bakery, with a sign of "Slim Bakery" hanging on it, and there was a burst of sweet smell from inside.The owner of the bakery is an old lady in her seventies, with gray hair and a gentle smile on her face, looking very kind and kind.

A burst of seductive aroma hit, Lu Mingfei licked his lips, and swallowed his saliva unwillingly.

From last night to this morning, their food was only dry black bread. Although they could keep them full, their taste was not satisfactory.Now smelling this tempting food aroma, he immediately felt his stomach growl.

The freshly baked bread in the bakery was full of oil, which attracted Lu Mingfei's attention, making it impossible for him to look away from the temptation of cooking delicious food.

"That, old woman." Lu Mingfei swallowed, trying to stay calm, but blushing was still on both sides of his cheeks, "I don't have enough money..."

The old lady didn't drive him away as Lu Mingfei guessed, but still had a kind smile on her face: "Are you a tourist who was caught in the storm yesterday? The weather here is not very stable, and there are often storms." .Sometimes there are people who are trapped here because of the storm. Because of this, some people may have left their money in the storm."

"But it's okay, you can come to my place and drink a free cup of sweet iced tea, which is specially provided for passing guests. If you want to do me a favor for this limping old lady, I can give you a little reward .”

Lu Mingfei was suddenly very excited.

He is clinking poor now.Even every meal of bread had to be saved, because it was on credit.

If he can't find a job again, he will probably starve to death.

And now the old lady is willing to provide him with free drinks and work for him.

She is simply an angel in capital letters!
Lu Mingfei said eagerly, "Really?"

The old lady nodded with a smile, called Lu Mingfei over, and handed him a glass of brown-red liquid: "Come, this is our specialty drink, very popular among young people."

Lu Mingfei took it and took a sip. It tasted like iced black tea, but it was not so exciting. The tea taste was stronger, more refreshing, sweet and smooth, making people squint their eyes, savor it carefully, and admire it endlessly. .

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled peacefully: "It seems that you like it very much. I still have a lot here, so you can take it."

Lu Mingfei shook his head hastily: "No, no, thank you, let me help you with the work." How dare he continue to take advantage of others after drinking their free stuff?
While talking, he helped the old grandma take out the baked bread.

Through simple chatting, Lu Mingfei learned that the old lady’s name was Wendy Sling, and she was not a resident of Utopia, but a person from the south. Many years ago, she and her husband went to a small town called Tingen , and then moved to this place called Utopia.

"Utopia is a very good place. I'm already planning to retire here. Although the weather here is not very good and there are frequent storms, the most valuable thing for me is the environment here." Mrs. Wendy said with a smile .

"Many people in Utopia are cheerful and optimistic, full of enthusiasm for life. See that band on the street? It's not a professional band, but a group of purely amateurs. Among them are government employees and magistrates. , there are solicitors, there are professional police officers, there are school teachers, there are candy factory workers, there are store owners... you can bring any musical instrument."

"On some rest days, they will take to the streets, start from the Municipal Square, go around the city, and return to the Church of St. Arianna near the square. This is our famous 'Music Parade'. If you love music and life, you must Would love it. It’s the love of life and if I were ten years younger I would definitely be in. Too bad I’m not very mobile now.”

Mrs. Wendy sighed.

Listening to her description, pictures appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind - a group of musicians or artists in different clothes, strolling on the streets around the church, singing songs casually, melodious and pleasant, but not lacking in excitement and joy.

This sounds very good.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help feeling fascinated.

This really seemed to be just a peaceful and happy town, and he even wanted to retire in this place.Other than the seemingly lack of games, it's really good.The food here is also said to be delicious.It's just that they can't afford it because of their current predicament.

However, Lu Mingfei quickly collected his thoughts, not to mention that he is not yet old enough to retire, he has not forgotten his current situation.

and also……

The strangeness here, and the reminder given to him by the postman with the monocle before.

He needs to figure out the meaning behind these abnormalities 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 kindly asked Lu Mingfei to rest 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 a cool, round thing.

This is……

The monocle given to him by the postman before!
Lu Mingfei took it out from his pocket. This is a very ordinary monocle, made of glass, and the frame is also a simple wire.It seems nothing special.

Then why did the postman say it couldn't be worn in front of people in Utopia?
Half puzzled, half curious, Lu Mingfei picked up his glasses and stuck them on his right eye...

Then, his eyes widened in horror for an instant, and his hands froze in the air.The unoccupied monocle slid down his cheek, fell to the ground and shattered.

But Lu Mingfei didn't care about that much anymore...

because……

he saw...

Thin black lines all over the sky, and... bloated monsters and rotten customers manipulated by the black lines...
