After saying goodbye to King Kong, Xu Shenxing and the others continued to go deeper into the park area.
Xu Shenxing's current appearance was a little comical. He had found a nylon rope from somewhere and tied several wooden sticks together. He carried them on his back. At first glance, he looked like an ancient Chai He Lang … Xu Shenxing also knew that his image was a little subtle, but the situation was urgent. Now was not the time to care about his personal image.
Unlike the entertainment district and the commercial district, the park area had the highest degree of naturalization. If it weren't for the fact that they could occasionally see some park facilities while trekking through the lush forest, it would be impossible to believe that this was actually a man-made park in the past.
"Are you sure you didn't lead us the wrong way?" Xu Shenxing, who was struggling through the forest, asked gloomily.
"It should be this way …"
The beast-eared little girl, who was originally full of confidence, now looked uncertain. "But I remember that there weren't so many trees in the past …"
Xu Shenxing looked at the surrounding trees suspiciously. Although they weren't so thick that it would take a person to wrap their arms around them, most of them couldn't have grown in a short three to four years.
This undoubtedly reduced the credibility of the child's words.
Fortunately, she didn't screw up — after passing through the trees, what appeared in front of Xu Shenxing was a large section of concrete that was tilted up due to the change of the site.
In this section, a sewer opening was exposed.
"It's here!" The little girl wagged her tail and excitedly pointed to the sewer opening. "'Teacher' lives in here!"
It looked like this place had been abandoned for a long time. It was covered with moss, and it felt soft when stepping on it, like stepping on the meat of some animal.
This sewer was different from the sewer in the commercial district. In general, it was much smaller, but it was enough for an adult to walk in without bending down.
There seemed to be a lot of air holes at the top of the sewer that were connected to the ground. During the day, sunlight would shine through these air holes, so the sewer wasn't as dark as it looked.
In addition, there were small lights on both sides of the sewer like the ones in the commercial district, which seemed to be used at night.
There was no dirty water in the sewer, not even a trace of water, so it should have been stopped long ago.
After taking a few steps inside, they encountered an iron fence that separated the sewer.
There was a small door on the iron fence. At this time, the door seemed to be tightly shut. There was an iron chain wrapped around the door handle, and a rusty lock hung on it.
Behind the iron fence, there was something similar to the searchlight found by Da Hei. The wires behind the searchlight were connected in a very layman's way, and extended all the way into the depths of the sewer.
"Huh? Why is this iron gate closed? "
The beast-eared girl tried to pull the door on the iron fence. Although the girl looked like a weak little girl, Xu Shenxing knew that she was a strong girl who could easily carry Da Hei, who weighed hundreds of kilograms, for a distance of five meters. If she was on Earth, she would definitely be a tough girl. However, the iron gate on the fence didn't budge. It seemed that not only was it tightly shut, even the iron fence itself was very strong.
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but have an ominous premonition. Could it be that my [Protagonist Aura] is taking effect again? Why is it that other people's [Protagonist Aura] can turn misfortune into blessings, but mine always brings strange troubles?
"Girl, step back a little."
So he simply pulled out a piece of firewood from behind him … I mean, a wooden stick, and silently cut the iron fence.
"Mr. Xu, you are destroying public property," Da Hei immediately said.
"It doesn't matter, no one else saw it."
"Fine …"
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"
When the iron gate fell, clanging noises could be heard from not far away.
"What's that sound?" The girl's ears suddenly straightened, and it seemed that she was a little frightened.
Xu Shenxing threw the remains of the wooden stick aside and looked at the iron fence under his feet. Behind the small door, there was a thin iron wire that connected to the ceiling.
"It's a mechanism, a simple but practical alarm device." Because he had seen something similar before, Xu Shenxing immediately recognized the real purpose of the thing. He kicked the iron wire and explained to the girl, "This iron wire hangs a basket, and there are some messy things in it … From the sound just now, it should be something like a can … The basket will maintain a very delicate state of balance. Once someone opens the iron gate, the basket will immediately overturn under the influence of the iron wire, and the things inside will fall to the ground and make a sound, acting as an alarm."
While they were talking, four figures flashed out from the fork in the sewer ahead. They kept a certain distance from Xu Shenxing's group. Even if he couldn't see their expressions because of the light, Xu Shenxing could still feel the hostility emanating from them.
"Is one of them your 'teacher'?"
Because of the firewood in his hand, Xu Shenxing was now a lot calmer, and he even had the time to ask the girl.
The beast-eared girl sniffed as if she was sniffing something.
After a while, she shook her head, "No, they are not my 'teacher'."
"Who are you, and why did you break in here?"
At this time, one of the four people in front of him, who was probably the leader, asked. Her tone was quite harsh. Even if she didn't say it explicitly, there was no doubt that she had identified Xu Shenxing's group as intruders.
In a sense, Xu Shenxing, who casually broke the door, was indeed an intruder …
"I'm a Pomeranian from the entertainment district, and I'm here to find my 'teacher'!" The beast-eared girl took the lead and said.
"The master is not seeing guests recently."
The other party refused without hesitation, but seemed to understand that Xu Shenxing's group didn't mean to invade, so the hostility was slightly reduced.
However, Xu Shenxing's eyes lit up.
Originally, he thought that the beast-eared girl's' teacher 'was most likely not here, and that he would have to complete at least eight or ten missions to find her. But now, from the other party's words, it seemed that the' teacher 'was still here, and simply didn't want to see outsiders.
"Eh? If the 'teacher' doesn't see other people, what should we do if we have new friends? " The beast-eared girl asked curiously, "If there is no 'teacher', how can we learn and adapt?"
"… It doesn't matter, there won't be new friends anymore."
After a moment of silence, the other party said slowly, but there was an indescribable weight in her words, "You should go back too. Now, no matter what you do, it's meaningless … Soon, all your friends will be killed by Spectre. Compared to dying in a foreign land, it's better to die in your own home. "
