Chapter 353: The Lobby of Resentful Food
One thing can be confirmed, this so-called map is by no means easy to exchange for a fruit, so the old ghost's behavior is very strange.
Is there anything good in the world that is good for no reason? The same is true of the strange mother-in-law, and the same is true of the strange old ghost.
Inexplicably, I thought of the strange mother-in-law who gave me bucket noodles on the subway, and I felt that things were very strange, could it be that in addition to the forces that chased and killed me, there were also forces to protect me?
If so, who is it, and for what is it to protect me? Could it be that the master did something in the past year that made some forces in the Yin Division 'indebted', so he secretly helped me ......?
If this is the case, the matter of returning yang may still be secretly supported by unexpected forces, and it will be more hopeful.......
There are a lot of thoughts, but they are all speculations, and there is no evidence to support them.
The ghosts in the ghost inn did not have the habit of asking each other about their names, identities, and origins, so the old ghost didn't ask me and Chu Nianyao anything, and I didn't ask the old ghost's name and surname.
"Well, young man, in order to be full, I can only give some of the map, but you have to be careful, the map is what many ghosts want, I haven't changed it to them, I feel pleasing to the eye when I look at you kid, okay, the map gives you a part, by the way, if you give me the fruit of your companion, the map can cover more areas."
The old ghost looked at Chu Nianyao.
"Oh, old man, this is good for you." Chu Nianyao had already seen it, and when she heard the words, she didn't hesitate to take out the fruit and hand it to the old ghost.
The old ghost, who didn't have a few hairs on his head, smiled and couldn't see his eyes, and hurriedly collected the fruit, and without delay, took out a pen and paper from his soul bag, and after a while, drew a map and handed it to me.
I took a closer look, this is a map that starts from the Eleventh Ghost Inn and moves three hundred miles deeper into the swamp, and the edge is the Twelfth 'Ghost Inn'.
The area of 300 miles is not small, some places on the map are crossed, and some positions are drawn triangles and circles, I don't know what they mean.
The old ghost explained in a low voice that the fork represented the area where the powerful Soul Eater was located, which was very dangerous, but there were also many Dark Crystals scattered.
The triangle represents the possibility of producing special metals, and the specific depends on luck. The circle represents the place where the yin qi is strong, and it also represents the unknown, but the old ghost is unknown, he feels dangerous, so he doesn't go in to investigate.
I suddenly noticed a few arrows, and I clicked a little bit to signal the old ghost to explain.
The old ghost opened his mouth full of fangs and whispered: "The location marked in this way is more terrifying than the circular position, indicating that the place has the greatest danger to the Yin Spirits, not the Soul Eater Alien Demon, but some naturally formed Jedi, the Yin Soul approaching or entering, the consequences are unpredictable."
This was what other ghosts had told me, marked on the map, but I had never really come close to it, so I really didn't know what was in there, and my kind advice was to stay away from those areas. ”
"Doesn't this winding line represent a river?"
I pointed to the curve on the map that stretched from Eleven to Twelve.
"You're right, young man, it's a branch of the Lethe River, and the water in it is said to be drinkable to the living, and you'd better stay away from it these days." If the old ghost has a deep meaning, look at me and give a warning.
His words made me feel that my identity had long been seen through.
"Why?" My heart skipped a beat, and I understood what he meant, but I still asked.
"This? When it comes to certain secrets, if the young man wants to hear them, he has to exchange them for something else, food and clothing. The old ghost's eyes rolled wildly, and his face was full of treacherous smiles.
"You're a profiteer." I put the map into the soul bag, nodded the old ghost's face, and cursed.
"Hey, if you want to hear the secret, how can you not pay a price?" The old ghost smiled. The face does not change.
I'd love to slap him'
You don't need to say it to understand what this secret is, isn't it a dark bounty? Living people need water in the swamp, and the tributaries of the Lechuan River are naturally the first choice, and the location next to the tributaries is very dangerous, indicating that there are many pursuers, waiting for rabbits next to the tributaries, and the targets are naturally me and Chu Nianyao, which is a shortcut to hunting.
This kind of news can be obtained by an old ghost in white, which is really not simple. As a result, I trust a few points in the authenticity of some of the maps he gave.
I whispered, "Old man, if there was more food, would you be able to draw a complete map?" ”
"I can't." The old ghost smiled bitterly.
I didn't speak, just looked straight at him.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I can only provide part of the map, if I say too much, Yin Si is not a vegetarian, only formal ghost officials, and you have to be a relatively high position, you can have a complete map.
For those of us, selling some maps privately is the extreme, and if there are more, we will be severely punished. Although the old man is a vain ghost, he really doesn't want to disappear, young man, if you see that I am pitiful and give me more food. ”
The old ghost looked at me pitifully.
"Well said." I smiled faintly, secretly held the old ghost's paw under the table, several grimace leaves appeared in the old ghost's hand, he was obviously startled, and then, quickly reacted to put the leaves into the soul bag, got up with a smile, staggered, and staggered away.
But my heart was shaken.
Before leaving, he said in the lowest voice in my ear: "The map was given to you by a certain ghost, Fang Gang, live." ”
It was said softly and quickly, but I still understood it.
I sat there and slowly closed my eyes, and secretly laughed at myself: "What an old ghost, this is an ordinary old ghost, approaching me to send part of the map, there is another push behind it, it seems that like the barrel noodles of the strange mother-in-law, there is an underground force of the Yin Division who wants me to live."
I don't know the specific reason, but when there are enemies everywhere, there is such a person who secretly helps, and I am still very comforted in my heart.
Wait a ......, there is no doubt that the old ghost is the pawn of the hidden forces, then, if the estimate is good, his Taoism is really a ghost in white, how can such a low Taoism recognize me and Chu Nianyao? It's incredible.
If you want to identify the two of us, the most effective way is to break through all illusions and identify us, but don't think too much, that way will definitely alarm the relevant departments of the Dead City.
Controlling the magic circle is definitely a big deal, this kind of thing can't go unnoticed, under normal circumstances, this won't happen, and the forces that secretly help me can't reach that point.
You can't use the magic circle to identify me, and the old ghost in white is not very good at Taoism, so the question is really big, how did he identify me who has changed so much? It's a wacky ....... ”
My brain hurts.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt crossed my mind, and I suddenly understood what the problem was.
Miniature!
That's right, only this thing on the body is related to the mysterious force, it was given by the strange mother-in-law, and there must be a strange aura on it.
This kind of aura, it is estimated that only members of the same force can feel it, so he doesn't need to look at what I have changed, he just knows at a glance that I am Fang Gang, and the shrinking bucket face is as good as a tracker in the Yang world.
As soon as I thought about it, I was so sure that I felt like I was on pins and needles, and I hated to get the bucket out and throw it away.
This thing is here, every move of Chu Nianyao and I is under the supervision of that force, how can there be any secrets?
Because of the old ghost in white, I figured this out, and I couldn't help but feel creepy as I thought about it along the tracker.
I suddenly realized that I was not 100% sure that this force really had good intentions, and if it didn't let me die, it must be to save me, and it was not impossible if there was any other conspiracy.
For example, when I was in Crocodile Head Mountain, the purple skeleton didn't kill me, it was for a reason, and it was because I wanted to get the 'child ghost' conceived by me and Xiangxiang, so I wouldn't die easily, it wasn't because the purple skeleton was merciful, but because it was far better for him to live than to die......
Is the mysterious organization that sent barrel noodles and maps through the old lady and the old man the same as the purple skull, thinking that it is more beneficial for them to be alive......?
Suspicion is poison, and my heart is cold, frightened by all kinds of uncertainties.
Now, one thing needs to be decided, do you want to throw away the tracker-like bucket ......?
If you want not to be monitored, you have to throw away the bucket. I don't want to starve to death, so I can only keep the bucket noodles. Which one is more cost-effective?
Well, it's more important to be alive!
I clenched my fists, upset, but in this situation, there was really no other choice.
Be vigilant, in this ghost place, the only one who can be trusted is Chu Nianyao, and other ghosts and forces are very dangerous.
Hula!
The ghosts sitting in front of them suddenly stood up and ducked to the side in fear.
I was startled, and when I looked up, I saw the little ghost in red walking slowly, and the ghosts in white around me were all frightened to leave their seats and get out of the way, and the little ghost in red walked without hindrance.
Looking at the route of the little ghost, it was obviously aimed at me and Chu Nianyao.
I couldn't help frowning.
"You didn't provoke the little ghost in red, why did you come to me?"
Signaling Chu Nianyao not to move, he stood up slowly, staring coldly at the little ghost who was walking step by step, suppressing his emotions and being silent.
"You, bring me the map and all the food."
The little ghost in red grinded his sharp white teeth, the ghost's eyes flashed with white light, his eyes were cruel and bloodthirsty, his head was tilted, and he commanded arrogantly, and his tone was so natural.
"...... food?"
I subconsciously looked at the seat where the little ghost was first, and then looked at my own position, and understood the approximate situation.
As soon as I turned around at the little ghost's position, I could see where I was through many gaps, and I thought about it, the act of sending the grimace leaves back to the old ghost at the first time concealed other ghosts, but I couldn't hide the red-clothed ghost, this guy's eyesight is really good.
Seeing the red-clothed little ghost coming over, all the ghosts in the inn lobby were interested, and in an instant, the noise disappeared, leaving only dead silence and gloom.
They're all waiting to see the show.
