Evernight God Walk

Chapter 1 He Can See
Termite City, Black Light Zone.

At night, the thick fog was like ink, permeating the streets of this bottom city, and you couldn't see your fingers.

The chaotic green copper car rails are twisted like the ground in the darkness, and the hideous dark brown scars are like blood that has dried up and scabbed.

There are no street lights on the side of the road, because the fog people in the bottom city can't use this expensive light.

"Sigh~"

Qiao Tiegen shivered in the cold wind, he hastily tightened his clothes, and the hot air squeezed from the neckline caressed his throat, feeling some warmth.

He decided not to wait any longer.

Taking out the flashlight, Qiao Tiegen swayed forward, and there was a row of dilapidated low buildings, which was also his target for tonight.

He wasn't worried that the light of the flashlight would alarm the occupants of the house. This was a black light area, and the people living here were all fog people. Even if a burning torch was lit in front of their eyes, they would not be able to see it.

Qiao Tiegen is also a fogger, but unlike other foggers, he has some small opportunities of his own, so he has gained something that other foggers don't have.

For example, he can see.

Using the flashlight to penetrate the dim light of the dense fog, Qiao Tiegen soon came to one of the remote dilapidated low buildings.

This low building looks like a single-family structure. From the two guide wires at the door, and the situation he asked about, there is only a mother and child living here.

There is no adult in the family, and he is still a foggy person. Qiao Tiegen touched the slightly heavy blade in his pocket, and felt that even if an "accident" occurred, he could solve it quickly without causing too much commotion.

"Damn it, it smells so bad, it's less hygienic than me..."

As soon as he approached the dilapidated building, Qiao Tiegen smelled a rotten acid stench blowing in the cold wind, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

He held his breath a little, and approached on tiptoe.

It was quiet in the small building.

He leaned against the wall and listened carefully for a while, and after confirming that the mother and child in the room had rested, he was about to act when he suddenly heard a boy's voice from inside: "I don't know, it must be someone passing by."

The voice has the youthfulness of a teenager, but it sounds hoarse and low.

The words were so abrupt that Qiao Tiegen jumped in fright, turned a little annoyed, and subconsciously reached out to touch his pocket.

Was it discovered?

Damn it, the fog people's ears are really good.

Qiao Tiegen was a little annoyed, but he straightened up instead. Now that he was noticed, he simply didn't bother to pretend and had a showdown.

If you can't steal it, grab it!
He has this ability now.

Before taking action, he also made such a plan. This is not the first time he has done this. He deliberately chose this remote area because even if two people die here, within ten days and a half months, The patrols won't notice either.

"Ask him to come in? Let's forget it, it's so late."

At this time, the boy's voice came again.

Qiao Tiegen raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had missed it. He suddenly remembered that he had said the same nonsense before. This young man should be talking to his mother?
Could it be that his mother's voice was too soft?
Either way, he must have been found.

Looking at the slightly heavy iron gate in front of him, Qiao Tiegen coughed lightly, and wailed in a pitiful tone: "Excuse me, my guide wire is broken, I lost my way, I broke my leg, and I managed to follow the path." Your guiding wire is here, can you bandage my wound? I bleed a lot!"

"It's nothing to be pitiful about. Who can be blamed for the broken guide wire?" The boy inside said, but from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was trying to persuade his mother.

Qiao Tiegen: "..."

Why is this damn kid so sympathetic? !

Let's see how Master Gen will deal with you later!
Since bitter tricks won't work, Qiao Tiegen is going to break the window directly. The quick fix, with the flashlight lighting, should be able to shut them up completely before they scream.

"Okay, okay, I'll just listen to my mother."

At this moment, the boy's helpless voice came from the room. Accompanied by a burst of sighs, Qiao Tiegen heard footsteps and walked slowly from the depths of the room.

Qiao Tiegen was taken aback for a moment, secretly rejoicing, as expected, a woman's heart is soft.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why he didn't hear the mother's voice, but hearing the footsteps getting closer and coming to the door, he immediately took out the dagger in his pocket and was ready.

After opening the door, let that ruthless brat no longer be "arrogant"!
pat!

The sound of the door lock turned away, and the iron door was pulled open a crack.

Cautious brat... Qiao Tiegen felt suffocated as soon as he said something from the bottom of his heart.

A strong and disgusting stench of corruption rushed out from the gate, almost causing his brain to go blank due to the lack of oxygen in an instant.

The stench was like rotting pork offal mixed with fermented feces, churning out an unbearably twisted smell.

Even Qiao Tiegen, who was affected by the harsh environment of Dicheng since he was a child, couldn't bear it for a while, feeling unable to breathe.

Qiao Tiegen touched the palm of his pocket, covered his nose quickly instead, and at the same time shone it with a flashlight, and saw clearly the appearance of the nasty boy.

He looks seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin body and obvious malnutrition, but his face is no different from other smog people, chin, lips, bridge of nose... and further up is the hairline.

The part between the bridge of the nose and the hairline is a complete piece of skin.

no eyes,

no eyebrows.

This is the original fog people, who cannot see and do not need light.

"Your leg is broken, just massage it yourself, don't bother others if you have nothing to do, and we don't have hemostatic medicine at home." The boy said expressionlessly.

"..."

Qiao Tiegen's face was a little purple, he didn't know if it was from the stench, or from the young man's words.

"Be kind!"

Qiao Tiegen gritted his teeth, and felt the stench pouring into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. It felt like he had swallowed countless rotten stinky fish all at once, and he felt a vomiting feeling of gastrointestinal peristalsis.

He hastily shut his mouth, glared at the boy viciously, and took out the dagger from his pocket without hesitation.

The moment he took out the dagger, the boy seemed to have heard something, and said helplessly, "Mom, do you really want to bandage him? Well, then listen to mom, I'll go back to my room first."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, as if he felt that his mother was too kind and felt sorry.

"Humph!"

Qiao Tiegen snorted coldly, not intending to let the brat go, and was about to rush forward to stab him in the back, when suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely vague "giggle" laughter, bright and moving.

The laughter became clearer and clearer, from far to near, as if approaching rapidly from an extremely distant place.

Gradually, the laughter turned into a woman's voice: "He heard it, he heard it, he can hear it!!!"

Qiao Tiegen's hair stood on end, and he shone the flashlight into the darkness of the room. His pupils constricted suddenly, and he saw the most terrifying and most regrettable scene in his life.

……

In the early morning, the sun penetrated the thick fog and shone on the rows of houses in the black light area.

In the bedroom, the teenager got up on time at seven o'clock.

He moved his body, then got out of bed and dressed extremely skillfully.

Although he has no eyes, his familiarity with his own room makes him move extremely skillfully, without a guide stick, and without bumping into any corner.

When he came to the door of the room, he paused for a while, then supported the wall with one hand, followed the blind line on the wall, and came to his mother's room.

The structure of the room made it easy for him to touch the side of the bed. He touched it and found that his mother's skin became softer and softer.

Maybe it was his movements, but the voice of mother waking up came from the side, with a bit of laziness and gentleness of getting up: "Xiao Shen, have you woken up yet? Are you hungry? Mom will cook for you right away."

"I'm fine, not very hungry." The boy withdrew his palm and said softly.

"Then you have to eat, you are still growing, how can you not eat breakfast." Mom reproached, and then the boy heard the sound of walking around, and left the room.

"Mom, where are the guests outside the door yesterday?" The boy touched the wall and returned to the living room, sat down at the dining table, and asked casually.

"That person, he has already been sent away." Mom said with a light smile.

Sending him away... The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, he was silent for a while, he sighed, and said: "In the future, it is better not to let such people in, they will be uneasy and kind, maybe they are just pretending to have a broken leg!"

"Xiao Shen, you can't talk like that. Didn't that person also say that, you have to be kind, and we have to... help those in need!" Mom gently taught.

The corner of the boy's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end, returning to his expressionless expression.

Not long after, a piece of food with a strong smell was handed to the table in front of the boy.

"It's ready, you eat slowly."

The boy touched the chopsticks on the table and fell silent.

"Why don't you eat it?" Mom seemed to be aware of the boy's pause, and said softly: "These are the ingredients you ate before, and the taste is the same as before. The food Mom bought today is not very fresh, so I will leave it to Mom to eat by myself. You are still growing, so I won't let you eat those unnutritious things..."

"I know." The boy said blankly, "I just stayed at home for too long and wanted to go out for a walk."

"Why do you have such thoughts again?"

The mother's voice sank slightly, as if she was a little angry: "Didn't I tell you that it's dangerous outside, so you stay here and have your mother take care of you every day, isn't it good?"

It's dangerous outside... The corner of the young man's mouth twitched slightly, the home is the most dangerous...

He said: "It's good to have a mother to take care of me, but staying at home every day is not an option. I'll just go out and play for a while..."

"How many times have I told you that it's dangerous outside, very dangerous! Why can't you understand!" Mom's voice suddenly became sharp and angry.

Perhaps because he was too excited, the boy felt his mother's saliva splashed on his face.

He wiped it away with his hand, it was sticky and wet.

Seeing that his mother lost his temper, the boy quickly said: "Mom, don't be angry, I just stayed at home for too long, and I'm a little bored."

"Bored?" Mom showed a slightly puzzled voice, as if she was lost in thought. After a long time, her voice became gentle again, and she said, "Does Xiaoshen need playmates? Mom will find some for you later."

The boy hurriedly said: "No, no, mom, I just want to relax by myself. I don't need a playmate. I hate being with people the most!"

"Yes, people are very troublesome..." Mom said to herself.

While they were talking, suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the small building.

"The lost man with the broken rope again?" The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed slightly.

"Not this time..." came the mother's voice, she restrained her tenderness towards the boy, but instead carried a strange coldness.
