He followed the smell and walked in a certain direction, and soon saw an old shop at the end of the street.
There is a large pot at the door of the shop, with the lid tightly closed, cooking something.
An old man was sitting at the door, squinting his eyes. His eyes were aging but he had good eyesight. He waved to Baige who was approaching from tens of meters away.
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Young man, would you like a bowl of broth?"
Bai Ge looked at the bowl of soup still floating in his hand.
He held up a finger.
"Would you like a bowl?" The old man smiled and said, "Then I'll serve you a bowl."
"No..." Bai Ge said seriously, "Give me a pot."
"..." The old man was stunned.
"Don't worry, I don't have any money, so I don't need money to buy it." Bai Ge took advantage of the other party's reaction, and put the blade on the old man's neck: "So, this is robbery."
"You robbed me?"
The old man showed a dumbfounding expression, and then his expression became cold: "Do you know that I am..."
Bai Ge slashed down, cutting off half of his arm.
A hand fell to the ground and dissipated into black smoke. The old man was not dead, but his expression became distorted.
"You hurt me, your knife...what the hell are you..."
"Be serious with me."
Bai Ge said seriously: "I'm robbing!"
"You are crazy! I am a broth seller, you rob me?"
The old man's voice became sharp, and his facial features were distorted, revealing a pair of bloodless and fleshless white skeleton faces.
A pair of ghostly will-o'-the-wisps lit up from the hollow skull's eye sockets: "I've been in this city for decades, and I've been doing business without money for decades. I'm the only one who cooks people, and no one robs me. Me? I will..."
"It's a skeleton with a backbone."
Bai Ge raised the knife expressionlessly: "Then I'll help you, face the blast—!"
"I wish you New Year's greetings today! Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law!"
The skeleton who had been stiff for less than five seconds just knelt down in an instant, and shouted: "I beg you to be merciful! In fact, I am very poor. Where do I get the money? The guests who come will either cook for me or give me money." The other weirdos are taken away, where did I get the money! Do you want Ming coins?"
"If you don't have money, you can exchange it with other things."
Bai Ge raised Blade Sakura: "For example..."
"My bones are worthless! They are cheap and have osteoporosis!"
The skeleton dealer of this human broth panicked.
"I'm talking about intelligence, tell me something interesting about this city."
Bai Ge sat down on the chair, and said calmly: "I just came to this city... I am the night watchman."
"night guard……"
The skeleton dealer trembled even more: "No wonder, no wonder..."
"You know the night watchman?" Bai Ge asked with great interest.
"Well, who doesn't know this... The thing that our group of demons and ghosts fear the most is this kind of reckless man who is not afraid of death... Ahem, cough, I am talking about heroes, although it is the first time I have seen .”
The will-o'-the-wisps in the skeleton dealer's eyes flickered, and it murmured softly: "But the night watchman has clearly disappeared many years ago... Ah, I don't doubt you, your aura is indeed like the legendary night watchman, awesome All the golden light shot out from the Tianling Cap."
"Many years ago? Legendary?"
Bai Ge was taken aback for a moment, was he really a loner with this title?
"Isn't it? I just heard it...Because our demons and ghosts can exist for a long time as long as there are no accidents. Many rumors can be traced back to hundreds of thousands of years ago... There used to be such a group of night watchmen. People, but they disappeared a long time ago, I don’t know if it’s extinct or a trivial matter, at least it’s been hundreds of years.” The skeleton dealer rubbed his head and smiled coyly: “If you say you are a night watchman, that’s a shame. Be careful... weak people like me must be afraid, but there are also many monsters who are not afraid."
"Chop it up and it's over." Bai Ge said lightly, "Tell me about this city."
The skeleton dealer thought for a while: "This city is quite old... I settled here one year ago, and I don't know much about it. Over the years, this city has been rebuilt several times, and the name is on people's lips. It has been changed and changed long ago, but it has not changed in our area, so we call it Lifeng City."
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"From the Windy City..."
Bai Ge didn't find it very familiar: "Is this city very old? Why are there so many urban legends and ghosts and monsters?"
"The history is indeed long, it can be traced back thousands of years ago."
The bone dealer scratched his bald head: "If you ask me this, we can't answer it. After all, I've only been in this industry for six years, and many of the previous things are hearsay, and there is no basis for it...As for why there are so many demons and ghosts, Probably because this is the place where the dragon veins of Yin gather, we don’t know the specifics, but it’s like certain places are suitable for living, and this place is suitable for us to live in.”
"Ghosts and ghosts also have the concept of survival..."
"That's not true, we are also a little wise, we have to live..."
The bone dealer laughed dryly: "Although I cook human broth, I don't often kill people. Most of the mortals who come to our side are not good people, and very few of them get into it by mistake."
"Then you still buy me soup?"
Bai Ge was expressionless: "Do I not look like a good person?"
"Like, like, like!"
The bone merchant nodded hurriedly, but of course it didn't dare to shake its head.
"Then it's no wonder you have blind eyes." Bai Ge said solemnly: "I am indeed not a good person. If you dare to say that I am a good person, I will throw you into the pot right now. Remember, I am a wicked person... super fierce."
There was a weary look on the bone monger's skeletal face.
Why doesn't this person play his cards according to the routine?
"Go ahead and tell me about the urban legend."
Bai Ge said lightly: "About the ruler of the night in this city... For example, there is a lively world of underground prostitutes, and there is an alien brother who likes to hit people with an umbrella as a weapon. something."
"nonexistent."
The bone dealer shook his head, and said with contempt on his face: "There are also several types of ghosts and monsters. Some are carried in a fixed area, and some are wandering around. An honest ghost like me stays in a fixed area. They usually have their own territory and don't take the initiative to provoke other things."
"Old Bones, I haven't heard of any Dominator in these years. After all, what age is this? Even the horse of the Headless Horseman has been replaced by a motorcycle with four vents. Flickering to form an alliance of hundreds of ghosts to find bad luck for humans, aren't you afraid of eating bullets and RPGs? Isn't it a joke to go head-to-head with the modern army? Who can stand up to a row of tanks? Even if it is a giant like a mountain ghost It can also be leveled by an excavator."
"During the day, the city is still a human world, and we just huddled in the dark world, and we had nothing to do anyway. Occasionally, a few human beings from outside gave me a mobile phone in order not to add soup to my pot... I It's fun to tell you trill... Eh? Why are you drawing your sword?"
"Instinctive reaction, hearing these two words, I feel that sand sculptures like you should be dragged out and destroyed humanely." Bai Ge put the knife back blankly: "Promise me, delete that thing, okay?"
"Delete, delete, delete! Me? I'm at odds with Tremor today!"
The bone dealer clenched his fists and shouted, "Every piece of rubbish will die!"
"It's too contrived, but keep up the good work."
Bai Ge changed his sitting position: "You should know a few urban legends about Lifeng City, right? What is the Rebirth Research Institute, what is the hell girl Yan Mo'ao, what is the story of the headless horseman looking for his head, what is the dead house girl in the dark forest ..."
The bone monger's cold sweat flowed wildly.
It made a percussion sound with its upper and lower teeth: "You, you, you, you, don't say this to the outside world... There will be big troubles! You hacked so many big guys in one go, and if it gets out, we're going to pack up and leave... ..."
"Boss?"
"Of course the boss!"
The bone dealer squatted down: "Although I haven't seen the first two, I have heard of them. The first one came out in the past few decades, and the second one seems to have fallen into a low career and didn't do much. , I have seen the third one a few times, just at this intersection, and it was racing a few days ago... Its temper has become very good, it seems to be doing some logistics work, I have not seen the four, although it is It's an urban legend, but it's not the same as a lowly undead like me?"
"I remember there seems to be a double birth or something?"
Bai Ge continued to ask: "Two people who are the same, disappear when they see each other..."
"I've never heard of this."
The bone dealer rubbed the back of his head: "There have been a lot of strange urban legends recently, maybe this is one of them."
"A new urban legend."
Bai Jue narrowed his eyes, he remembered that this urban legend was ranked fourth in the introduction.
He deliberately asked questions out of order, that is, deliberately picked it out, and asked casually, and sure enough, there was something wrong with the question.
This urban legend is not so much an object as a peculiar phenomenon.
Maybe there are some secrets worth checking out.
"Do you have a map of the city?"
Bai Ge asked, "Give me a copy if you have one."
"Mobile navigation."
The bone seller said: "Navigation is very convenient. Anyone who got lost and entered here before got out by navigation."
"My mobile is out of battery."
Bai Ge raised his eyebrows: "I'm robbing, be serious!"
"This, really not."
The bone dealer said helplessly: "I'm a nail householder, and I don't need a map if I don't go out."
"Then where can I sell it?"
"You can try your luck over there."
The bone dealer pointed to the intersection not far away: "Many of the ghosts and ghosts in the eastern district are old guys, who have a collection habit, and you might meet them. If you want to go to the north, just turn around and go out. "
"I remember."
Bai Ge got up without hesitation: "If you just go wrong, I will come back and kill you."
"How dare I, big night watchman, go slowly."
The bone dealer waved his hand and watched Baige's back disappear into the night. After a while, he sat down again. The will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes alternated between light and dark, and finally stabilized. He died years ago...how did this come from self-taught?"
……
In the city late at night and early in the morning, Bai Ge strolled on the streets.
Along the way, I also encountered a lot of weirdness and ghosts.
But there are very few strong ones among them, and nine out of ten will quickly retreat when they feel the breath.
