Chapter 908 "The Adventures of Lao Lantou"
They had no way of guessing what the other paper figures in the underground cave were thinking, nor could they investigate.
After all, the only "client" brought up by Gu Mian had been quartered and his head was thrown back into the pit.
The fortune teller felt that the answers to her questions could only be found by going to the Hanging City. Today was Friday, and there were still two days until the train on the Hanging City started.
The fat man also remembers the day when the train to the Upside Down City was launched: "Doctors, do you want to go to the Upside Down City this Sunday?"
His expression was worried, and he obviously felt that the Hanging City was not a good place, and there was a risk of never returning.
Gu Mian felt that the Upside Down City was standing upside down without disturbing her. If she went up without any problems, the Upside Down City might collapse as soon as she stepped up with her front feet. For the safety of the hanging city, he decided to wait and see below to see if anyone came down from above this Sunday. If anyone came down, it would be a good idea to ask the person who came down first about the situation above.
"Lianhua City has almost become a dead city. Although the area of the Hanging City is large this time, I think there are not many players who can bring it up." The fortune teller analyzed carefully and turned around to look at it as he spoke. I looked at the huge shadow in the south outside the window.
"And according to Gui Gu, the hanging city near his friend's base has a rule that you can't go back to the hanging city after you return by car. I guess the hanging city here may have the same rule. After players go up and know that returning to the ground is a one-way ticket, they will definitely not leave in a hurry, but want to experience it on the top first, so I am afraid that no players will come down from the top on this first Sunday.”
What the fortune teller said makes sense. The Upside Down City was formed this Thursday, and it was only the third day of formation in the early morning of Sunday. If there are players who followed it for three days, they might not have experienced enough.
Although Gu Mian also felt that the first Sunday might not be fruitful, she still waited early at the station on the ground below the Hanging City.
The train that goes back and forth between the Hanging City and the ground departs from the Hanging City. It is not yet midnight, so the station is empty.
Fatty and the fortune teller were also followed this time. Fatty claimed that he was worried about Gu Mian coming here in the middle of the night, so he followed him, but Gu Mian felt that he was afraid that he would board the train to the Upside Down City without saying hello.
The fortune teller is still interested in the sinkhole under the Hanging City, but she doesn't dare to come. I knew Gu Mian would be here today, so I made an appointment with him in advance.
It's not yet midnight, and the fortune teller is holding a flashlight on the ground at the edge of the sinkhole and shining it down. She borrowed the high-power flashlight from Gu Mian. At this moment, the fortune teller illuminated the pit like daylight. If there was a paper man sleeping in it, he would definitely stick his head out and scold her for being unethical.
The fortune teller patrolled the edge of the pit with a flashlight for a long time but did not see any paper figures looking out to scold her. It seemed that there were indeed no paper figures underneath.
Just as the fortune teller was patrolling with a lantern, he heard the fat man behind him shouting "Here we come"
Hearing this, she looked up and saw a moving light in the center of the upside-down city above her head, coming from the headlights of a car. Unlike other blurry places in the city, they could see this train very clearly.
It was all green, with a long body and about a dozen carriages. It started from the center of the upside-down city and drove toward the ground below along a non-existent track. It looked like a dragon flying in the sky.
Soon this long green train was getting closer and closer to the ground, allowing people on the ground to observe its appearance more clearly. The large windows on the train accounted for almost half of the area of the train. This large area of transparency allowed it to be seen. It looks a bit dreamy, like a sightseeing car from the Kingdom of the Sky.
At this time, the train was not far from the ground. In order to observe more carefully, the fortune teller raised a high-power flashlight in his hand and shined it towards the car body above his head.
Only then did she realize that there seemed to be a figure in the transparent glass window.
Someone actually came down?
The fortune teller flicked the flashlight, but after the flash, the figure in the train just disappeared.
"Why is this car still haunted?" The fortune teller felt that the Hanging City was too evil. The underground was haunted, and the car was also haunted. It didn't look like the human paradise introduced in the event.
The fat man next to the station also saw the figure just now: "Doctor, did you see it? When the fortune teller looked up, I seemed to see a figure in the car, but it disappeared in a flash."
Gu Mian also saw it, and he smiled: "Maybe the people in the car don't want to be seen by us."
But the people inside can't escape no matter how much they hide. The Upside Down City has a rule that once you get off the train, you are not allowed to get back up. When the train arrives at the station, the people inside must get off the train and you will have to meet them next to the station.
The people hiding in the train seemed to have thought of this, so they stopped covering up and showed their faces openly.
The fortune teller saw the figure who suddenly disappeared just now come back. The light of the flashlight in her hand just passed through the car window and shone on the other person's face. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, the fortune teller began to lament the wonder of fate: "Why is it again? Her? ”
An Zhi Tinglan didn't expect that she had just escaped from Gu Mian a few days ago, and then turned around and bumped into him again. The real owner was here this time. When she was sitting on the train and looking up at the ground, she happened to catch the eye of Gu Mian who was looking up from below.
Her body reacted faster than her brain. After realizing that the person was below, Hou An Zhi Tinglan quickly left her seat and squatted down. But soon her brain realized that the people below had seen her, and there was no use hiding.
So she simply sat back in her seat.
The train was getting closer and closer to the ground, and with a "bang", the car landed.
The station on the ground has tracks, and the cars still have forward inertia after landing. It took more than half a minute for more than a dozen long cars to move forward along the tracks before they came to a complete stop.
By coincidence, when the car stopped, the window where An Zhi Tinglan was sitting happened to be opposite the position of Gu Mian and the three of them next to the station. The four people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes through the glass window, giving each other friendly glances.
When it was almost one o'clock in the morning, Liu Ruyan discovered that Gu Mian and the other three were back, and it seemed that they had brought back a fourth person.
Soon she discovered that this fourth person looked very familiar. Wasn't he the three groups of chess players who came out with them a few days ago? The three groups of chess players also used a special item called Mario to teleport away. Liu Ruyan thought they would never meet again, but she didn't expect that she would see each other again in just a few days.
"The chess player of the third group, An Zhi Tinglan." Liu Ruyan called out An Zhi Tinglan's identity, stared at her suspiciously for a while, and then looked at Gu Mian and the other two people next to her, "You guys Didn’t you go to study the Hanging City? Why did you bring it back to her?”
An Zhidinglan saw that she did not come back voluntarily, with resistance written all over her face. The fat man danced and explained to Liu Ruyan: "She came down by car from the Upside Down City."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan understood a little. She thought that when An Zhidinglan teleported, she landed in the south of Lianhua City. The land there happened to rise to the sky, and An Zhidinglan was lifted up to the upside-down place with her. city. This man was really unlucky. When he got off the Hanging City in a car, he bumped into Gu Mian who was waiting for him, and he was carried back.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help feeling that An Zhitinglan's special Mario items were useless, but he finally reunited with everyone here.
That’s not right. After using that special item, they also went on a wonderful three-day trip to the Hanging City. Thinking of Liu Ruyan putting her hand on An Zhitinglan’s shoulder and saying softly: “Stay in the Hanging City. After three days, you should be very familiar with the situation above, so tell us what it is like, dear Miss An Zhidinglan.”
An Zhidinglan didn't like telling stories to people, but people had to lower their heads under the eaves, so she had to use a gentle tone that was not suitable for telling stories to describe what happened in the past two days.
[Schrödinger's Mario] After use, although the user will be teleported away, they will also fall into sleep at the same time. How long they will sleep depends on the user's physical fitness.
An Zhidinglan fell asleep for a short time and woke up in less than half an hour.
When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by darkness, which An Zhitinglan had already been mentally prepared for. Schrödinger's Mario will teleport people to a nearby sewer after use. If there is any lighting facility in the sewer, it will definitely be pitch black.
An Zhidinglan, who was well prepared, immediately took out the flashlight in her inventory to illuminate her surroundings. With this look, she discovered that the cross-sectional area of the sewer pipe she was in was large enough for people to stand and walk in it.
The curved walls are covered with thick concrete, and some green moss grows in some places.
People in the city basically never produce much domestic wastewater, and the water plants have stopped operating. There is no industrial wastewater for a long time, so the water in the sewers is almost dry, making it very convenient to walk in it.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
An Zhidinglan didn't know where she was transported to the sewer, nor did she know the topography of the sewer. She had no choice but to choose a direction and follow the water pipe. As she moved forward, An Zhidinglan kept paying attention to the top of her head. She knew that the sewer would be connected to the sewer well. If she encountered a sewer well extending from above, she could follow the well. Climb to the ground.
But after walking for a long time, she didn't come across a sewer shaft that she could climb up. Instead, she encountered two bizarre-looking cave entrances.
Two holes about two meters high, one on the left and one on the right, lie on both sides of the sewer pipe in front, like a crossroads.
At first she thought it was a branch of the sewer pipe, but when she walked to the intersection, An Zhidinglan discovered that the two holes on the left and right that suddenly appeared were not dug in a regular manner, and the walls inside were not like the one she was in. Sewers are covered with concrete.
She immediately understood that the two passages she saw were probably not branches of the sewer, but tunnels excavated by something.
An Zhidinglan didn't know whether the two big holes were dug by humans or other animals. They couldn't be dug by ghosts. As far as she knew, there was no precedent for ghosts appearing in the real world except during large-scale events.
No matter who dug these two tunnels, she didn't want to go in and explore. There was no need to do meaningless things. As long as she walked along the sewer, she would definitely find the manhole, and then she could climb up to the ground along the shaft.
An Zhidinglan passed by the two cave entrances very wisely and continued to move forward, but her pace was much faster.
The two big holes dug by unknown things were too suspenseful. She couldn't be sure whether the person or animal who dug the hole was still inside, or whether the other person would run out and chase her. So she had to speed up to get herself away from the two dangerous caves as soon as possible.
But An Zhidinglan's footsteps soon stopped. She saw the two holes appeared in front of her again, one on the left and one on the right, once again forming a strange intersection.
The sewer pipe was a straight line, and An Zhidinglan was sure that she had never turned or turned around, but the two holes appeared strangely in front of her again. If she were in the dungeon now, she would suspect that she had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, but Mario couldn't teleport her to the sewer in the dungeon, right?
But soon An Zhidinglan realized that this was not a ghost beating the wall, because the two holes that appeared this time were smaller than before, and the two holes only reached the height of her head.
These are two different holes than before.
This discovery did not relax An Zhidinglan, but made her feel even heavier. It would be fine if there were only one or two such caves, but if there were more, it would be very scary.
You must know that in order to save energy when burrowing, animals often dig a hole that is about the same size as themselves, as long as it can accommodate them to move inside.
It would be terrible if this behavior of animals were applied to the caves she encountered in the sewer. The openings of several caves are about the same size as humans. It is hard to imagine how big the animals are that dug such passages. body shape. It doesn’t matter if they are big, but if there are more of them...
An Zhi Tinglan suppressed her uneasiness and continued to move forward. Things were just as she expected. On the way down, she saw a variety of cave entrances of different shapes, and there were more and more of these cave entrances. Almost every few steps later, she would encounter two opposite ones. At the entrance of the cave, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sewer looks like a coal nest.
What's even more terrible is that she heard sparse sounds starting to come from the densely packed cave entrances. It seemed that there was something alive moving towards her inside, and it definitely didn't sound human.
If there are too many rats, they can kill people, not to mention these huge things that can dig such large holes. An Zhidinglan thought that her flashlight might have attracted their attention. She immediately turned off the flashlight and ran forward as fast as possible in the dark. She wanted to run out of this densely populated area of caves.
But not long after she ran, her head hit something hard. An Zhi Tinglan reached out and touched it. It was a wall.
She knew she was at the end of her run, so she immediately turned on her flashlight and looked up to see if there was a sewer shaft above her head. Unfortunately, there was still a piece of gray-white concrete above her head, and there was no sign of escape.
The sewer reached the end, and she could no longer run forward, but the movement behind her was still coming sparsely. An Zhitinglan glanced back with the flashlight and saw that nothing had climbed out of the cave yet, but From the sound they were already very close to the sewer, I was afraid that the first ones would crawl out in a few seconds.
In desperation, An Zhitinglan got into the cave closest to her. It was easy to make a choice between one person and a group. After getting into the cave, she quickly ran deeper with a flashlight to avoid being found by the things that came out of the cave behind her.
I don’t know if she was lucky, but there seemed to be no strange things in this hole. An Zhidinglan ran inside for a long time with her flashlight on, until the sounds outside completely disappeared.
She didn't stop but continued walking forward. She couldn't find a way out in the sewers outside. Maybe there would be an exit to the outside world in these weird caves. But soon her hopes were dashed. After walking in for about ten minutes, An Zhitinglan saw a wall at the end of the cave.
An Zhi Tinglan frowned.
Just as she frowned at the dead end, she suddenly felt someone blowing on her neck from behind.
Just when everyone was watching happily, they suddenly felt Gugu blowing on the back of their neck
