Late at night, in a dark alley in Xiagong City.
A man in a black robe stabbed a drunk middle-aged man in the chest. Before the middle-aged man could make a sound, his body fell to the ground.
The black-robed man unsheathed his saber, stretched out a hand, and pressed it on the corpse's wound.
His originally white hand seemed to be gradually wrapped in a layer of asphalt, and the black liquid seeped into the corpse's wound.
After a while, the black liquid slowly retreated. The man in the black robe then pulled his hand back and stood up.
He took off his hat and revealed a face that looked like it was covered by tree bark. It slowly turned back to human skin.
"Ah!" A lady screamed at the entrance of the alley.
The man in the black robe immediately chased after her.
"Help! There's a monster killing people! "The lady screamed.
The man in the black robe chased after her and ran away when he saw that someone was coming. However, a few patrolling guards blocked his way …
…
Early in the morning, Lin Huang checked the news on the Heart Network after he had his breakfast.
He clicked on the news as soon as he saw a local push notification.
"The city guards of Xiagong City caught a murderer this morning. Based on the dead body at the scene, the murderer is one of the people responsible for the recent murders. We're still investigating the murderer's identity and the reason for the murder … "
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Lin Xin, who was sitting opposite him, lifted her head and saw Lin Huang frowning as he stared at the news page.
"One of the recent murders was caught this morning." Lin Huang lifted his head and looked at Lin Xin. The plate in front of her was empty. "Are you full? Have some more if you're not."
"I'll get some more fruits." Lin Xin got up and brought him another plate of fruits.
"Brother, why are you frowning when you read the news? Isn't it a good thing that the murderer was caught? "Lin Xin asked curiously while eating the fruits.
"Nothing. I don't think the murderer is human. However, from the description on the news, the person they caught is a human." Lin Huang closed the news page. Regarding this kind of thing, he only felt that it was a little strange, but he did not intend to delve into it.
"Maybe they caught the wrong person." Lin Xin still believed in her brother's judgment.
"Let's not talk about this. It has nothing to do with us." Lin Huang took a little red fruit and popped it into his mouth, "It seems that there is still a problem with the security of Xiagong City. For the next few days, we'll just stroll around outside during the day and come back early in the afternoon. Try to finish at four or five o 'clock and come back for dinner. Try not to go out at night. "
"Then I'll have to change my schedule …" Lin Xin said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter if your schedule is a little slow. You have almost two months of summer break. Not counting the travel, you still have one and a half months of vacation. There were not many scenic spots in Xiagong City. Even if he was slower, he would be able to finish it in a week. Before the murder cases are solved, it's safer to stay in the hotel at night. "Lin Huang explained.
"Alright …" Although she was a little reluctant, Lin Xin still accepted Lin Huang's suggestion. She knew that Xiagong City had not been peaceful recently.
After breakfast, the two of them left the hotel.
Under Lin Xin's guidance, the Viridian Wolf and Lin Huang arrived at the first scenic spot in the city – Xiagong Museum.
"The Xiagong Museum mainly displays items that were excavated from the ruins around Xiagong City. Most of them are items from the ancient cities of the old era. There are also a few items that came from the ruins of Xiagong City. They are placed in the inner hall as the treasures of the museum … "Lin Xin explained to Lin Huang.
In fact, Lin Huang had already looked up this information on the internet. However, seeing that his sister was so serious about being a tour guide for him, he did not want to disturb her, so he kept nodding his head to cooperate with her.
Lin Huang was not interested in normal museums. When he was on Earth, he only had one idea about the items in museums – 'These items seem to be very valuable'. Therefore, he rarely went to museums when he was traveling.
However, in this different world, there were many new things. Going to the museum would help him to understand this world better by getting in touch with the historical remains of this world.
The Xiagong Museum was free to the public, but one had to verify one's identity before entering.
Lin Huang and Lin Xin verified their identities at the entrance. After entering the museum, they realized that there were quite a lot of visitors.
"Hello, are you two here?" A young lady in a white work uniform greeted them. "I can be your tour guide."
Lin Huang knew that the tour guide was free of charge. However, some people would rather see it themselves than listen to the tour guide's explanation. He turned to Lin Xin and asked, "Do you need a tour guide?"
"I think I need one …" Lin Xin looked at the items around them. There were many of them, and some of them could not be found on the internet.
"Thank you." Lin Huang nodded his head.
"Please follow me …" The beautiful tour guide introduced them to the items along the way.
Lin Huang learned a lot from following the tour guide. Lin Xin was curious about a lot of things. She would ask questions from time to time, and the tour guide would answer them well.
After more than an hour, the tour guide finally brought them to the inner hall.
The inner hall was not big, only about 200 to 300 square meters. Lin Huang saw the items in the middle of the inner hall at first glance. His pupils contracted when he saw the item in the middle.
He walked quickly to the display shelf in the middle. The tour guide, who was about to bring them to see the items from the beginning, could only run to catch up with him.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Lin Xin followed them from behind. After they stood in front of the display shelf, she asked Lin Huang in surprise.
"Nothing, I'm just curious about these items." Lin Huang suppressed the shock in his heart. He could not move his eyes away from the item in the middle.
It was a laptop, and it was placed in a transparent protective box. The screen was completely broken, and there was a fist-sized hole in the middle of the keyboard. The sides were charred black, but the keys could still be seen clearly.
He was shocked because he had never seen a laptop or a computer since he came to this world.
"What is this?" Lin Huang could not help but ask the tour guide. It was the first time he asked a question since he entered the museum.
"These items were excavated from the Xiagong Ruins. The two items next to them are decorations. The one in the middle has been studied by archaeologists for a long time, but they do not know its specific use, so it was named as an unknown item. "The beautiful tour guide explained embarrassedly.
"Unknown item …"
Hearing the tour guide's answer, Lin Huang was almost sure that this laptop was brought to this world by another traveler.
