The street next to the city library is a famous pedestrian street in Fenghua City. The spacious street is full of shops on both sides, including clothing, catering, electronics, and a wide variety of shops. You can find everything you need. This pedestrian street is bustling with people, mostly young people wearing fashionable clothes.
Shigure Park surrounds the city library and covers an area of ??more than 1,000 acres. The park is not completely open to the public. A few locations are restricted areas. The official statement is that precious ancient trees are planted inside. The forest deep in the park is forbidden to visitors and has always been maintained in a natural state without any interference. In addition, all attractions in Shigure Park are open to the public free of charge, making it a great place for daily walks and leisure.
In addition to maintaining good natural scenery, the park also has numerous recreational areas.
Xiao Lin walked around Fifth Avenue for a while. She thought about it, turned around and walked into a jewelry store on the roadside.
After buying a small and exquisite jade pendant, she went directly to the Baijie Stairs, which was slightly remote and few people would go there at night. The staircase is located at the junction of Fifth Avenue and Feng Third Street. It was originally a remote area that few people passed by. After several inexplicable and bizarre incidents, there were even fewer people here.
"Lan'er is really not hospitable at all. He even thought of such a method!"
Walking up the stairs, Xiao Lin felt a few ghostly auras coming out of the stairs and shook his head slightly, ignoring it.
These demonic energies are extremely small and have no other purpose than to instill a sense of fear in those who walk up this ladder. But in this dark environment, people's hearts are already uneasy. If they are slightly induced, the fear in people's hearts will spread without limit.
Thinking of the ferocious monsters rushing out of the darkness, thinking of the pairs of scarlet eyes emerging from the grass beside me, I froze myself, thinking of the emptiness in front of me, the sudden rise of white smoke, and the ferocious traces of innocent souls. Roaring, rushing towards him In a dark environment, a strange environment, all kinds of horrors will always appear in people's minds, alerting themselves to protect themselves.
People, it¡¯s always like this.
¡¡
Located in a small open space with a wide view, Blue Star Coffee at night is not as popular as it is during the day. The slightly old cafe stood alone in a corner of the park, deserted, with a few dim lights dotted at the entrance.
??In the eyes of ordinary people, the forest at night, with its dim lights and thick weird atmosphere, is as conspicuous as a haunted house. There is a wooden sign hanging at the door of the cafe, wrapped in light blue flames, beating slowly.
Just this big wooden sign with the words "resting" written on it is enough to make people fearful and retreat.
after all!
Its existence has broken common sense, just like this, floating faintly in mid-air!
Stopping near the coffee shop, Rin looked at the wooden sign that floated to her side. In addition to the words 'resting', there was also a small mermaid silhouette floating next to it. She pouted angrily and stopped. In front of Rin, he looked like he was seeing off a guest.
Xiao Lin stretched out his hand and gently touched the shadow, pushing the wooden sign away.
She knocked on the door and waited patiently at the door.
¡®I already told Lan¡¯er at noon, and she was really angry. . . ¡¯ Thinking of how many times he had missed appointments, Xiao Lin had a headache again. After all, Lan¡¯er was not what he appeared to be on the surface. This guy didn¡¯t have a lot of gentle temperament.
¡°Lan¡¯er is a monster. Although she is a little tired after living for a long time, she is a little bit tired. Butshe is a monster.
It¡¯s troublesome to think about being really angry.
This time, she also felt that things were weird and wanted to find out more about the situation from Lan Xin, so she came over.
Soon, the door opened, and a slightly timid girl with short hair came out.
She is not tall and has a petite figure. She is wearing a white and green maid uniform and looks extremely neat. After seeing Xiao Lin, she was overjoyed and said, "Rin, why are you here!" Then she seemed to think of something, her expression froze, and she pointed to the person sitting by the window, looking at the night view below through the glass window. Lan Xin said: "Sister Lan said that you always lie to her, so I won't entertain you tonight."
Seeing her timid look, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel the urge to bully her. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, messing up the short, smooth hair: "Don't worry, little rabbit, I'm ready." Lan'er will definitely forgive me~"
Xiao Lin has seen this rabbit with approximately zero aggression since the last demon slayer incident. Because he had helped her, this little rabbit would also send some coffee from the store to the office from time to time. Well, the instant coffee that Xiaoli brewed was also obtained from here
? ??Hmm, Rin, be careful. I'll leave first. That stinky fox is still waiting for me. Bai Huan nodded and went back to the back room to change clothes: "If Rin comes next time, I will make coffee for you." Sister Lan said that my coffee-making skills are now better than hers. "
For Xiao Lin, this timid little rabbit turned out to be unexpectedly bold. Perhaps because she has always been running away since she became conscious, she is particularly sensitive to malice. As long as someone has the slightest hint of bad thoughts, she will be keenly aware of it. But she never felt uncomfortable emotions in Xiao Lin's body She liked the way Xiao Lin looked at her, which was always so quiet, soft and gentle.
¡° Deep in her mind that she didn¡¯t even know she had, when she was still a rabbit, she seemed to remember something similar.
"Well, thank you~"
¡¡
Lan Xin, who was by the window, held her chin with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Since Xiao Lin entered the house, she has maintained this appearance, pretending that she does not exist.
"Hey, originally Lan'er also lost his temper sometimes~~"
"What? Are you still angry?"
Sitting down in front of Lan Xin, Xiao Lin smiled and tugged on her sleeve:
It has been more than a year since I met Lan Xin. Xiao Lin has promised Lan Xin to come back here for coffee many times. However, after each appointment, she either forgot or was too troubled to have time to come over. She failed to make appointments many times. I am becoming more and more afraid to come
But the agreement must be fulfilled. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lin is ready to apologize~!
"Don't be angry, Lan'er, I've prepared a gift for you~" As she said this, she took out the small jade pendant she just bought from behind her back: "How is it? Am I very sincere!"
Raising her head slightly, Lan Xin took the pendant and shook her head in a funny way.
"Wait a moment, I'll make coffee."
Seeing that Lan'er was willing to make coffee for herself, Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and reminded her in a coquettish tone: "Lan'er, I want more milk."
"knew."
Holding the delicate cup with wisps of white mist rising in both hands, Xiao Lin squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
Across a forest, the street view of Fifth Avenue.
The bustling crowd, in small groups, men and women, holding hands, enjoying the convenience brought by the city.
Several girls laughed and cursed, turning around and making faces at the boys around them from time to time.
Several young people were in front of a store, and they seemed to have had a quarrel and were arguing.
A lost child cries, attracting a circle of people to watch and comfort him.
A pair of elderly people were sitting on a bench under a tree by the roadside, looking at the scene in front of them with smiles in their eyes.
??Smiling so heartily, human world, human happiness, human sadness, human sadness.
She turned her eyes to the darkness of the forest.
Under a dim lamp, a girl with short hair leaned against the lamppost, kicking the stones beside her shoes.
What is hidden under this quiet scenery?
¡ª¡ªIs it a dream in the spring breeze or the frost in winter?
After taking a small sip, Xiao Lin exhaled happily and brought the hot coffee to him, leaving a wet spot on the glass window next to him. She turned around and asked Lan Xin, who was stirring the coffee in front of her and hadn't drank it yet: "Lan'er, has something happened in the city recently? I recently went on a long trip and I only came back in the past two days."
"Why do you ask that?" Lan Xin raised his head in surprise: "Because of your existence, this city has always been peaceful. Due to your previous tough tactics, few guys in this city dare to ignore the rules you set. Interfering with the normal operation of the world of Yangthe demon slayer is an exception."
"Demon slayer Out of a compromise between the two parties, this guy is still squatting in the colorless sky.
"Is that so?" Xiao Lin frowned and continued: "I heard from the kitten at home that monsters in the city have become more active recently, because they move more frequently and come into contact with more people. I got up. Although this has no impact on the normal operation of Yangshi, I am still a little concerned."
"Rin, this is not like your character, you are too diligent~" Lan Xin laughed softly, pinched her cheek gently, and joked: "In the past, you would rest for a few days when you came back from going out Well, even under normal circumstances, as long as the other party doesn't make any big noise in Fenghua City, you won't pay any attention to it."
"Lan'er!!"
Although, although I feel that what Lan'er said seems to be not wrong, refutation is still necessary, isn't it~
As for diligence?
That¡¯s right, from the moment the commission from the monster appeared, there would always be sights from the monster around her.
"Okay, okay, let me think about it" Lan Xin stirred the coffee unconsciously with her fingers, thinking carefully.
Picking up the coffee again, Rin didn¡¯t interrupt and turned his gaze into the woods.
Under that lamp, the figure has disappeared.
On the stairs, two faint shadows walking and walking merged into the crowd, and they were nowhere to be found.
After lowering her head and thinking for a while, Lan Xin remembered something.
"Rin"
"Hmm~"
"I think it's a banquet. It's been ten years, and the banquet is about to be held again." Lan Xin looked out the window, at the dark places in the city, and seemed to see the excitement of those guys: "In the last ten years, the demon banquet was The location is on a hill. Is it in this city this year? It¡¯s really interesting"
"What banquet? Does it have anything to do with this matter?"
"The demon banquet is a banquet for monsters."
¡¡¡¡
After chatting for a long time, Xiao Lin also learned something about this monster¡¯s banquet.
"Lan'er, I'm going back. Thank you for the coffee."
¡°You¡¯ll have to pay next time!¡±
"Yeah~" Xiao Lin responded softly, and he had already walked to the door.
When she closed the door, she heard a slightly soft voice behind her: "Rin, it's okay. I will keep an eye on them and not cause any disturbance. You can rest assured and have a good rest for a few days."
Although Lan Xin and her have not known each other for a long time, they are friends with whom they can have a drink.
It¡¯s great to have you as a friend.
Stepping out of the door of the cafe, Xiao Lin walked slowly down the winding stairs.
The night was not deep, and the cool breeze blew through the tips of her hair.
You know, things in life are sometimes so simple, and everything should be the way it is.
ps: I¡¯m busy, and as the New Year approaches, there are more and more things to do
