Chapter 766: The crying under the bridge (1)
“What is this?”
Lu Xin dragged his suitcase along the busy streets of the city, feeling extremely lost.
The ups and downs of this lousy gathering were too great.
Just an hour ago, he was still lying in the hotel’s bathtub, waiting comfortably for the three million.
Now, he was a wanted criminal in Pyro city.
The most important thing was that he had left his car at the hotel.
The most important thing was that she had just found out that her creditor was actually a bad person who liked to use counterfeit money …
Lu Xin had no choice but to split up with them. It was easy for him to escape the pursuit of the pyro company’s aptitude users. He had many parasitic items that he could use to escape. However, Lu Xin was only worried about the people who came to the party.
Especially Dracula.
There was a problem that he was still struggling with. If she was caught by the fire seed and put in prison, would he still collect the rest of the money?
With this question in mind, he walked through the wet streets that had just drizzled. He carefully sensed and looked at his sister, who was listlessly climbing the wall with him. After making sure that no one was following him, he was relieved.
Carrying the bag and dragging the suitcase, he came to the bottom of a bridge over a River. He looked at the colorful reflections of the neon lights around him in a daze.
He couldn’t stay in a seven-star hotel that cost six to seven thousand a day. There were still more than 30 hours before the party.
If he couldn’t, he would just squat under the bridge for a night.
He looked up and saw that the city looked very calm on the surface.
Occasionally, he could hear gunshots from afar and the crowd’s cries of surprise.
On the surrounding roads, many people could be seen gathered together, pointing in a certain direction and talking.
They were probably discussing what the sudden chaos in Pyro city was all about.
This gave Lu Xin some hope.
Dracula might really escape …
Pyro city was too big, and there was no division between a main city and a satellite city. There were too many tall buildings and too many blind spots.
More importantly, there should not be any spirit overlords in the city.
In such a large city, there were suddenly so many powerful people with abnormal brains. Furthermore, according to Dracula’s description, the Tinder had already mobilized too many people for the ‘hell’ plan. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to find a few lunatics with Beyonder powers in such a large city …
Thinking about it this way, his mood became slightly better. The possibility of him getting back the rest of the money was still very high.
“Wuuu …”
However, just as Lu Xin was feeling relieved, he suddenly heard a loud and heavy alarm ring from afar.
His hair stood on end as he raised his head.
This was a level one alarm.
Normally, every city would only send out such an alarm when they were under great threat.
He had been in qingang for so long and had only heard of it twice.
He subconsciously wanted to stand up and hurry to find his colleagues …
.. However, he quickly realized that he was not in Green Harbor. He was in Pyro city.
Besides, this level one alarm might be for him …
He squatted down again and slowly lit a cigarette while looking around vigilantly.
Whenever such an alarm sounded in qinggang, the entire city would immediately mobilize its forces to besiege and block the special pollution or intruders. If he accidentally looked up, he would see that the Tinder law enforcement team had already surrounded him in three layers.
However, unexpectedly, the alarm of Pyro city was getting closer and closer. It was so loud that it almost drowned out all the noise. However, there was no sound of armed men gathering. Instead, the speakers on the streets and public broadcast facilities began to repeat the same broadcast. the S-Class defense mechanism has been officially activated. Attention, the entire city of Tinder has officially activated the S-Class defense mechanism.
all Tinder citizens, return home immediately in two hours or enter the nearest safe house to take sleeping pills and go to sleep.
I repeat, all citizens must fall asleep within two hours.
“Those who break the rules will bear the consequences.”
“I repeat, those who do not fall asleep within two hours will be responsible for the consequences.”
Similar broadcasts were heard in the surrounding areas, and the content was very strange.
However, this was not the first time such an announcement had been made in fire city.
The bustling streets and crowds immediately became more crowded after hearing the broadcast.
All the pedestrians were in a panic and ran back home or to their own cars. The sound of their footsteps was a mess. Every car was honking anxiously. The drivers stuck their heads out and shouted, eager to go back.
It was getting late, and there were not as many cars on the street as before. After squeezing for a while, they quickly left.
The bustling city had become empty in a short time.
Lu Xin suddenly had a strange feeling, “”What is the fire seed trying to do?”
“Why do you want everyone in the city to fall asleep within two hours?”
why did you say that those who don’t sleep will bear the consequences? ”
Frowning as he thought about this question, he quickly reacted.
Was this the power of a fire seed?
The problem that the city was facing now was that there were too many aptitude users like him who had infiltrated the city with unknown identities.
Moreover, these people were not honest and had just caused a big mess.
Without a spirit Lord, it would be very difficult for the Tinder to find these people.
After all, in such a large city, there were countless people. It was too easy to hide.
However, when the Tinder’s ” sleep warning ” was issued, the outsiders were caught in a dilemma.
Of course, the citizens of the pyro company could sleep.
However, he was an outsider who didn’t even have a seven-star hotel. He could only squat under the bridge. How could he sleep?
If they didn’t sleep, they would immediately be different from the residents of the Tinder.
Who knew what kind of danger he would encounter in his sleep?
While Lu Xin was mulling over this question, his surroundings had already quieted down. The cars and pedestrians on the street had already left, while those who couldn’t make it in time quickly changed their minds and headed to the nearest safe house. No one stayed outside.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Lu Xin was also feeling a little flustered. He quickly looked for his sister and father and whispered, “”What do we do?”
His sister, who was hanging upside down under the bridge, fell down onto Lu Xin’s back.
“I’m fine, I can sleep now,” she said in a daze.
“You still need to sleep?” Lu Xin asked in surprise.
“I’m bored …”
His sister was lying on his back, her little face pressed against his neck. Her arms and legs drooped down beside him, swaying.
“When I’m bored, I want to sleep.”
“You …”
Lu Xin was too embarrassed to call her his sister, so he turned to his father and asked, “”Do you have an idea?”
His father’s tall figure was half-hidden in the darkness under the bridge, and his blood-red eyes were unusually striking.
It seemed like he was looking at the quiet and empty city with a serious expression. His eyes swept across the brightly lit buildings and the tall and neat buildings as if he was still thinking. After a long time, he said to Lu Xin in a low voice, ”
“Do you think this city needs a terrifying Demon King?”
you … Lu Xin was speechless. you’re still thinking about your own stuff at this time? ”
“Then I have no other choice …”
The father spread out his hands and slowly sank into the dark shadows.
“What else can I do?”
Lu Xin grumbled as he continued to squat under the bridge, deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, he understood.”Since they can’t figure it out, then I might as well not think about it myself …”
He simply walked along the bridge and went deeper.
Since he had already decided to stay here for the night, he decided to go deeper into the bridge cave. No one would see him anyway.
As long as he didn’t cause any trouble, even if the people in the city fell asleep after two hours, what could he do?
“Wuwuwu …”
The deeper they went, the quieter their surroundings became.
Just as he was about to reach the bottom of the bridge, he suddenly heard a low cry coming from ahead.
The voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the surrounding darkness.
“Eh?”
Lu Xin was taken aback. He took out a lighter and wiped it gently. With the help of the faint light, he saw a man crying in a corner not far away. Looking at his appearance, his clothes were tattered and there were a few bruises on his body. He seemed to be a vagrant.
He didn’t react to her walking over and lighting the lighter. He just lowered his head and cried.
“Brother, are you hiding here and crying because you don’t have a place to sleep?”
Lu Xin sighed as he took out a cigarette and offered it to the man, “”Don’t cry, come and have a cigarette.”
The Tramp was still crying in a low voice and did not respond.
Just as Lu Xin’s hand reached out, he suddenly stopped crying.
Under the bridge, a cold wind blew, and the flames flickered.
Lu Xin’s eyes blurred for a moment, and when he looked again, he was stunned.
In just a blink of an eye, the man who had been crying had disappeared.
Both the voice and the person had disappeared.
He was slightly curious. The lighter moved forward and lit up the space under the bridge.
He immediately saw that at the bottom of the bridge, there was a man lying against the wall. His clothes were ragged and he looked like a vagrant.
He was breathless and his body was stiff. It was unknown how long he had been dead.
Lu Xin was taken aback.
This corpse’s clothes and even the wounds on its body were exactly the same as the person he had just seen.
However, he was a dead man!
Then, what exactly did he just see?
The flame disappeared and the bottom of the bridge returned to darkness.
The cold wind blew, and the crying seemed to still be there.
“AI …”
After a while, Lu Xin started the fire again, but there was only the corpse in front of him.
He was silent for a while, then sighed. He put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.
Then, she stuck the cigarette in front of him and said in a low voice, ” whether you’re Dead or Alive, you did cry quite sadly just now …
“I’ll give you this cigarette …”
