Chapter 62 The Weeper

The sound of slippers echoing back and forth in the factory, accompanied by the slow pace of the janitor, made it particularly impressive.

The distance between the two became closer and closer, and Fu Zhaozhao suddenly realized something.

When the flashlight was shining on her just now, she could clearly see her own shadow, and when the gatekeeper shook the flashlight, the light of the flashlight shone on him for a moment.

She seemed not to see the shadow of the other party.

Fu Zhaozhao suddenly asked: "Where have the people who came here to explore in the past two days gone?"

The caretaker paused, stared at her with dark eyes, and after a long while he slowly said: "Adventurers? Apart from you and me, how can there be anyone else here?"

Fu Zhaozhao followed the other party's words and moved back silently.

The gatekeeper seemed to feel her ups and downs of emotions, and asked in a vague voice: "What are you afraid of?" As he spoke, his eyes moved unnaturally.

Seeing this scene, Fu Zhaozhao felt more and more that his guess was correct.

The person in front of her was not the guard she met when she came in. It was obviously something else approaching her disguised as the other person.

The other party is getting closer and closer to me, and the back figure behind him that was previously unclear gradually becomes clearer.

There seemed to be a pair of thin wings behind the skinny figure. The ends of the wings were slightly hooked inward, and there was a sharp curved thorn at the bottom, which looked particularly dangerous.

The other party seemed to sense her particularly unstable emotions, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger, making her look even more weird.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out." The 'janitor' stretched out his long curved fingers. The distance between the two of them was less than half a meter. He only needed to take one step closer to touch Fu Zhaozhao's eyes.

Fu Zhaozhao felt as if his body was controlled by something. Although his thoughts were chaotic, he could not control his behavior at all.

This is the first time this has happened.

Just as the other party was getting closer and closer to her, a loud barking of a dog suddenly broke the scene in front of her.

The moment the dog barked, those feelings that had been fixed on him suddenly became apparent, and even the scene he had just seen disappeared.

Only then did she realize that she was still standing in front of the Eight Immortals Table on the second floor. The sunlight filtered in through the broken glass windows, dispelling the discomfort in her body.

The gatekeeper screamed and told the dog to run slower.

The native dog with yellow and black fur shrank its tail in fear, and quickly buried its head in the direction of Fu Zhaozhao, whimpering, obviously frightened.

When the gatekeeper saw Fu Zhaozhao, his eyes brightened up a lot. He quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Young man, help me catch the dog. If it escapes, I will lose my job!"

It could be heard that the gatekeeper was very happy when he saw her.

Fu Zhaozhao moved his somewhat stiff arms to stop Tudou, who was rushing to other places.

When the gatekeeper saw that she had stopped the dog, he rushed here panting. When he got to the dog, he hit it on the head several times. It looked heavy but it didn't hurt at all.

While beating him, the old janitor couldn't help but cursed a few times, "You damn dog, you're exhausting me to death by running so fast."

Tudou still curled his tail, avoiding the slap from the gatekeeper, and even if he found some space, he could bark twice behind Fu Zhaozhao.

Fu Zhaozhao seemed to have thought of something and looked several times in the direction of the barking dog.

Although there was nothing there now, she always felt that there was something there before, peeping at them.

Seeing that the janitor wanted to beat him again, Fu Zhaozhao quickly stopped him and asked, "Why did you suddenly run over with the dog?" Speaking of this, the janitor became so angry that he almost cursed at the dog. .

"This dog belongs to the boss, and he asked me to help feed him occasionally, but it turned out to be fine. He spent three days or two either sleeping or running around."

"The boss didn't see this dog when he came here last time. They thought I had done something to the dog. They had to let me get it back or they would fire me." At this point, the janitor sighed several times.

Probably thinking that humans are inferior to dogs.

Fu Zhaozhao found it a bit strange, "This dog looks quite thin, but I didn't expect it to bark so loudly."

Although he looks timid with his tail curled up all day long.

Mentioning this, the gatekeeper laughed twice, "Haha, don't look at this dog being so thin. He eats better than me. But for some reason, he doesn't like to eat much lately, so he lost weight."

While the two were talking, the native dog seemed to have seen something scary. It curled up its tail and shook its legs and ran back. The caretaker who finally managed to pull on the rope was pulled away again with a groan.

Fu Zhaozhao glanced behind him, but there was nothing there.

But there is something vaguely spreading towards the places where the sun cannot shine.

Fu Zhaozhao thought for a moment, and then left behind the gatekeeper.

Seeing her coming out together, the gatekeeper asked with some confusion: "Have you found your cat?"

Fu Zhaozhao: "No, it's probably not here anymore. I'll look for it elsewhere."

She paused, glanced at the abandoned factory behind her, and then added: "It's better not to let others in these days. There are a lot of machines inside. It would be bad if one accidentally knocks it down."

The gatekeeper nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a few more words and then parted ways.

Although they parted ways, Fu Zhaozhao did not really leave this area, but found a higher position overlooking the abandoned factory.

Then Fu Zhaozhao told Xiaobao what he encountered in the factory and asked her to help check if there was any other information about the Crier.

Xiaobao was obviously a little surprised: "Cryers can also control the surrounding environment? This is the first time I have heard of this. I will check the previous information to see if there is anything missing."

Then she changed the subject, "But the situation you are talking about sounds to me as if you were forced into an illusion controlled by the other party. I have occasionally heard of this kind of monster that can create illusions before."

Fu Zhaozhao: "Then you can send me similar monster information and help me do something along the way."

Xiaobao's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little vague, as if he was eating.

"What is it? It's too difficult for me to do."

Before he even opened his mouth, he refused.

"Go find the woman I brought back to My City last time who can control dreams, and ask her how to control dreams."

Xiaobao had a little impression of the person Fu Zhaozhao was talking about, but the impression was not very good.

She asked cautiously: "Is she that half-human, half-bear woman who looks a little crazy?"

Later, he received Fu Zhaozhao's affirmation.
