Chapter 185 Iron-Skeleton Old Tom

"Oh, I miss you so much!" Jie Zuo scratched his head. The words "Haim Town" made Jie Zuo feel a little emotional.

Stepping into Heim Town, unlike last time, no one took the initiative to be our guide. Some of the buildings inside looked very dilapidated, and there were no people on the street.

"Xie Zuo, we have been observing nearby." A silent voice came from the earphones.

Jie Zuo curled his lips and said nothing, holding a lantern and walking unsteadily inside.

Apart from the fact that it is also called Heim Town, this place is completely different from the place where Xie Zuo stayed before.

Although the building is very dilapidated, it can be seen that it is modern, which is very different from the medieval style of Heim Town.

And compared to the previous Heim Town, this Heim Town is more like a "ghost town" - everything is in tatters, and no one can be seen for a long time.

"Are you sure there are people living here?" Jie Zuo asked silently through the earphones.

"Very sure!" Wu Yan replied seriously.

A few minutes later, just when Jie Zuo couldn't help but shout to see if anyone was there, he finally found traces of someone living at the door of a house.

"Dong dong dong~~" Jie Zuo slammed the door.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from the room.

"Tower of Babel! Open the door!" Jie Zuo shouted outside the door.

"Cough cough cough~~" The three whistler team members in the earphones almost choked...

"Jie Zuo, didn't I tell you that our identities must be kept secret!" Wu Yan shouted uneasily.

"Oh, hey hey!" Jie Zuo tilted his head and giggled.

Yu Chang, who was hiding and observing not far away, shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's coming, it's coming, stop knocking!" The old man could be heard walking towards the door, and a few minutes later the door opened.

"Who are you?" Jie Zuo asked first, and the old man was stunned - shouldn't he ask this question himself? You knock on someone’s door and ask who they are?

"My name is...by the way, who are you?" The old man was stunned by Jie Zuo's question and was about to give his name when he suddenly realized and stared at Jie Zuo warily.

"I'm not from the Tower of Babel!" Jie Zuo said loudly.

Wu Yan took a deep breath into the earphones: "Jie Zuo, you don't have to repeat it again!"

The old man's look became more alert: "I don't know the Tower of Babel. If you are fine, please leave."

"What a coincidence, I don't know the Tower of Babel either, hehe. My name is Jie Zuo, but I don't know his surname!" Jie Zuo smiled and stretched out his hand.

The old man stretched out his hand and gave a friendly shake: "Just call me Tom. What can I do for you?"

"Tom? Do you know Jerry?" Jie Zuo opened his eyes in surprise when he heard the old man's name.

The old man was a little puzzled - is there something wrong with his name? Why are you so surprised?

"Sorry, I don't know Jerry." After the old man said it, he closed the door and stretched out a foot to block it.

"Hey, I don't know him either."

"You don't know me, what are you talking about!" the old man shouted in his heart. After just a few minutes of conversation, the old man had already concluded that the person in front of him was definitely not an "ordinary person".

"Do you have anything else to do?" The old man's hand firmly grasped the door frame, and the alertness in his eyes had reached its peak.

"I came here for tourism and got lost here. Is there any inn in this town?" Jie Zuo asked with a smile.

"No!" the old man replied firmly. After saying that, he wanted to close the door, but was blocked by Xie Zuo.

"Then can I stay at your house for one night?" Jie Zuo continued to smile, and the old man replied impatiently: "No!"

"Don't worry." After Jie Zuo said this, he took out a gold ring from his pocket and waved it in front of the old man.

The old man originally wanted to say something more, but his eyes were immediately attracted when he saw the gold ring on the left. The old man used to be a goldsmith. Although he has stopped doing this business for a long time, he still has basic eyesight. This ring looks like it is made of pure gold, and it is also "old gold".

Jie Zuo took the gold ring from the car when he set out. Now he took it out and waved it in front of the old man: "I don't live here in vain."

The old man looked at Jie Zuo, at the ring, at the ring, at Jie Zuo. Finally, as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, come in!"

"okay……"

The old man's home is quite clean. Although the furniture is relatively shabby, it can be seen that the old man takes care of it very diligently.

Except for the old man, there is no one else in this room. Now there is an extra person named Jie Zuo.

Time passed quickly. Jie Zuo and Tom finished dinner and sat in the house chatting.

"There don't seem to be many people in this place?" Jie Zuo asked while drinking tea.

Tom nodded: "All the young people have gone to work in nearby cities, and the only ones left here are some old people like me."

"Oh, are there any weirder legends here?" Jie Zuo asked next.

"Legend? No, I have lived here for so many years and I have never heard of any legend." The old man shook his head.

"Um, has anything weird happened recently?" Jie Zuo put down his teacup.

"Don't tell me yet, it really is." Tom thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"What's going on?" Jie Zuo asked curiously.

"Some time ago, there was an earthquake in the west of the village. Then several families living nearby went to check, but none of them came back.

Everyone felt that this incident was very strange, so they reported it to the mayor. The mayor led the only policeman in our town and a few other young people to investigate on the same day.

But I didn't expect that two days later, except for the police, no one else came back. And the police who came back became crazy...

So all of us don’t dare to go out now and stay at home if we have nothing to do. "

After Tom finished speaking, he looked at Jie Zuo: "You are not the person sent down from above to investigate this matter, are you?"

"Of course I'm... not."

"Hey, then why are you talking so loudly and out of breath?" Tom shook his head in disappointment.

"Don't worry. Although I was not sent from above, I am a well-known master of solving abnormal incidents." Jie Zuo held his head high, looking very proud.

"Abnormal... what? So you can solve it?" Tom looked up and down, left and right, carefully looking at Jie Zuo, expressing great doubts.

"What kind of look are you looking at? I tell you that I am a professional. I was meditating that day and suddenly noticed that there was a lot of evil spirits in your direction, so I rushed over without stopping!" Jie Zuo expressed his dissatisfaction with Old Tom's look and danced with joy. narration.

Old Tom's eyes were still full of disbelief, but seeing how serious Jie Zuo said, he could only nod his head: "Oh, that's right, okay."

"Take me to see that place tomorrow!" Jie Zuo patted Old Tom on the shoulder.

"I'm not going!" Old Tom dodged away.

"going or not?"

"Don't go!"

"going or not?"

"Don't go!"

"Are you going or not?" Jie Zuo threw the ring to Old Tom.

"go!"
