"Do you think it's too dark?" Chu Ji said, "This is a taste that humans retain now, called candlelight dinner. In the past, when we ate in restaurants, we would also have candlelight to simulate the atmosphere."

Lin Qiao smiled, "In this kind of environment."

Thinking she was dissatisfied, Chu Ji shut up and gave his child a wink. The next second, a dazzling red light burst out in the dimly lit restaurant with moldy wallpaper.

That is the light from the child, the most dazzling color when the heart beats.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting weird like a horror house, Lin Qiao shook her shoulders and laughed, "Ah, it's not that I think it's too dark. I haven't finished what I just said. I mean, a candlelight dinner in this environment is quite interesting." Flavored."

The red light went out again.

Chu Ji was left staring straight at her smile.

"You're satisfied."

"I like it very much." After saying that, Lin Qiao took away the burnt bread on his plate, got up and went to the kitchen, found a few mutated fish in the bucket, rolled up his sleeves and chopped them, piled them into a hill on the plate, and then vigorously He picked it up, returned to the living room, and placed it in front of Chu Ji.

"I said I wouldn't mind before, and I don't mind now that you and I are supposed to eat different foods." Lin Qiao said, "This is my truth, there is no lie in it."

Because there was no careful handling, the blood on the fish pieces oozed out from the plate. It looked a bit oozing under the candlelight. Chu Ji's eyes were full of love for Lin Qiao that was about to overflow.

"I really love you."

He gently hooked her wrist with his tentacles, "This time, trust me."

Lin Qiao held the tentacles with firm and serious eyes: "I know, just like we said, I will love you forever, in my own way."

Chu Ji ate the bloody fish on the plate, and Lin Qiao ate the delicious sandwiches and soup he made. After the meal, the child served as a light bulb for the night, and the two took a leisurely walk on the beach.

The atmosphere was harmonious and intimate, and part of Chu Ji's tentacles leaked out uncontrollably. Some hung on Lin Qiao's shoulders, some on her waist, and some of them were used as tails wagging behind her.

The two of them were walking on the crisis-ridden seaside at night, and Lin Qiao was still thinking that if an outsider saw this scene, they would be scared out of their wits.

However, there was such a hiker who, across a high mountain, held a highly accurate telescope to capture and record this scene with his own shooting function.

Time will always dilute the terror left in people's hearts. Society tends to be more stable, and the power of law enforcement and civilians is above all else. The spiritual pollution incident of monsters coming to the earth gradually becomes a story among the older generation, and newborns listen to it as a story. s legend.

Many years have passed, and no one has seen the monster again. No one knows where they have gone, but many explorers or mercenaries living in the new era hope to find this rumored monster.

According to legend, his blood can make people immortal, and his venom can make people directly become evolvers. The price requires humans to pay their souls and become servants of the devil.

Immortality has a strong temptation for most human beings, even if they become slaves of the devil, they are just like Xu Fu who was ordered by Qin Shihuang to embark on an expedition to the East China Sea to find the legendary elixir of immortality.

Although the country has issued a strict ban on the exploration of unspeakable monsters, there are still a group of bold and arrogant people who are secretly searching, trying to peek into the dark side of the world and find the monster.

There are only people who are curious and want to find monsters, and regard this as an honor. Unfortunately, among the explorers who break into the seaside town every year, none of them come back.

This year, Qi Ming and his expedition team got a handwritten book left by their predecessors, which recorded some details about the town. The book flowed into the crowd through the drift bottle, and it was able to be taken by them, which was useless. effort.

A total of five of them hiked through the dense forest and squatted for three days and three nights at the approximate location written on the manuscript, but they did not find the legendary seaside town.

After spending so much energy, they might not be able to find anything. While they were disappointed, a dangerous thing happened. All of their compasses, including some advanced road-finding tools, failed. They entered the company. An uninhabited area that cannot be covered by radar.

There is good news. The book records the signal problems in this edge area. If it is interfered with, it must have entered a relatively close to scary area.

Maybe it really means that they are close to their destination, but the food reserves they brought are about to be exhausted, and Qi Ming must find a way to resupply where there are people immediately.

Now the only thing they can rely on is the nose of a German shepherd dog beside them, hoping that it can take them back the same way. However, Qi Ming and others followed the dog back on foot for three days. On the night of the fourth day, they were not sure. Was it possible that in the jungle on the original road, the dog was bitten by an unknown creature and poisoned to death under a tree?

The five people sat lifelessly in front of the fire. Qi Ming held an old photo in his hand, and then shared it with everyone.

"I got it from my grandpa a long time ago. An explorer who was passing by at that time accidentally captured the photo." On the dark sea surface, there are big red lanterns floating on the water, sticky tentacle monsters and what looks like humans. Girls, walk side by side.

The weird scene caused goosebumps in everyone just by being a freeze-frame photo.

"The record book says that if you enter the town when it is not a foggy time, you will have a high chance of encountering danger. If you are lucky enough to meet a woman, remember to ask her for help. If you encounter heavy fog, then you are very lucky. This is The only time humans can safely explore the town, so...is it her?" One person swallowed and whispered.

Qi Ming put away the photo, "Probably."

At midnight, the temperature dropped sharply. As soon as the exploration teammates climbed out of the tent and wanted to go to the toilet nearby, they accidentally looked up and saw a few dazzling stars emerging from the sky. Looking further away, the silver glow rose from the seaside, bright yellow. Lanterns are lit in rows.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, the seaside, which was still a deserted beach even in the morning, was brightly lit, and a small town appeared with a faint green light from the dome.

He was startled, and the hair on his back started to grow for no apparent reason, immediately waking everyone up.

The winding streets form winding paths, houses built of stacked stones and triangular roofs filled with snow. People come and go on the stone roads, which is very lively.

A small town that only appears in human eyes at a specific time. It is secretive and eternal, inspiring five people's desire to explore.

"found it!"

They didn't know what was driving their nerves behind them. They didn't even briefly think about it, but were influenced by the light emanating from the town. They quickly packed up their things and ran downstairs with hungry bellies. .

Ever since he discovered the rumors about the outside world and the constant attempts by people to enter the town, Chu Ji has spread a miasma over the entire town, making it seem like it can completely disappear from the map. The only drawback is that the star sequence climbs to the correct position. A bright enough light can penetrate the miasma and expose it to human vision.

Occasionally, Lin Qiao would enjoy spending time with humans. She would take the initiative to inhale harmful gases to induce hallucinations, and go to bars in small towns to chat and drink with Joyce, whose body was stuffed with octopus limbs.

With her extremely low sanity level, her eyes automatically pictured a middle-aged bartender with a sense of humor, a seductress having a passionate fight with a man at the next table, and pedestrians walking on the street. Everything seemed lively and lively.

Chu Ji would often let her do this, and the blood essence he supplied her was enough to consume all the side effects, but the humans who broke into this place were not so lucky.

When Qi Ming and his teammates entered the town, they realized that they seemed to be overly excited. They were still a little wary at the moment, but the people they met were all very enthusiastic. The dark alleys were mixed with the screams of women, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of wine. .
Each of them has been injected with an evolutionary agent, a replica produced by the government, which can greatly improve physical functions and have a certain ability to resist hallucinations.

But just in case, they also took out some simple air tests. After confirming that the values ​​were acceptable, they gradually relaxed. The five people walked through two streets through the steps and entered a stone tavern.

There are no customers inside, only the boss is eating a plate of sashimi behind the bar. The fish fillets are plump, clean, and white and tender, making people drool just by looking at them.

"Fish steak and beer, whatever you need."

Looking at the food on the plate, Qi Ming and others asked for a portion. They found a place to sit down and exchanged a few words with each other.

"It's not as deserted as people say, there are a lot of people here."

Qi Ming's record book was missing some contents due to being soaked in sea water, and he didn't know the more specific situation of the town.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of chopping fish came from the kitchen. At some point, there were many people standing outside the window of the tavern, crowded. Qi Ming accidentally turned around and found that they were crowded in front of the window like sardine cans. The expressionless face startled him, and he suddenly fell backwards from the bench.

When the five people turned around, smiles appeared on their faces again, and they walked into the tavern arm-in-arm, but within a short time all the tables and chairs here were occupied.

After Qi Ming sat down again, he felt something indescribable, like a strong sense of insecurity caused by being watched by countless pairs of eyes. He wanted to remind his friends around him that the door to the back kitchen of the tavern opened with a bang.

Several large plates of delicious fish were brought to the table, as well as large glasses of sparkling cold beer.

Qi Ming said: "Let's take a purifier."

The owner of the tavern stood far away, but his ears seemed to be sensitive to his face. He turned to them and said: "We have already beaten them, so feel free to eat."

Everyone has been hungry for several days. One person said: "In Wandering City, I haven't seen any restaurant that dares to sell seafood without using purifiers. Just eat it and explore after eating."
