The Navigation Elfin usually did not give any suggestions to players capturing elfins, but this time was an exception. From its tone, it seemed that it did not recommend players to try rashly, probably because elfins only existed for a short time, and the difficulty of capturing them was extremely high, which led to an unusually low probability of success.
But Zhang Zian was an idle person in society. He could beat children on rainy days. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and the pet shop's customers during the New Year's holiday were bleak. Whether he succeeded or not, he decided to give it a try. It was like going for a walk. In addition, although he did not know this elfin at all, he inexplicably felt some sympathy for it. It was because, like Old Time Tea, the Strength of Faith that it relied on for survival was rapidly diminishing, and even its existence was in danger. Wasn't this very regrettable?
When he turned around, he was surprised to find Xinghai standing outside the storage room, looking at him with its silver-gray eyes, as if it had something to say.
"What's wrong, Xinghai? Do you want to play hide-and-seek? "He waited for a few seconds, but Xinghai did not speak or move, so he took the initiative to ask.
Xinghai shook its head. "Meow! Xinghai wants to play hide-and-seek, but Xinghai can wait. Zian has more important things to do!"
Zhang Zian was stunned. More important things... What did it mean? Did Xinghai mean to capture that elfin?
He became more and more interested in that elfin. What kind of elfin was it? Why did Xinghai pay so much attention to it?
"Okay, then I will be back soon. When I come back, I will play hide-and-seek with Xinghai."
Time was precious, so he nodded and said no more. He left the storage room with a new bottle of disinfectant and quickly walked down the stairs.
When he was halfway down the stairs, he suddenly had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Wait a minute, why did Xinghai specifically say this? Even if Xinghai did not come, he had originally planned to try to capture that elfin. Because of Xinghai's sudden appearance, he was even delayed for a few seconds.
He turned around and looked at Xinghai from between the stairs railings. His line of sight was exactly at the same level as Xinghai's eyes.
Xinghai did not move, but kept staring at him. When he finally turned around, Xinghai blinked at him three times, then turned around and raised its face to the wall of the room, as if it was reflecting on its mistakes.
Zhang Zian was stunned.
He felt that Xinghai must know something about this new elfin, so she came to remind him of something. But what did she mean?
Just then, Wendy, the Abyssinian cat, happened to run past, and Xinghai immediately chased after it excitedly. "Meow! Hide-and-seek! Xinghai, be the ghost!"
In the blink of an eye, Galaxy had already followed Wendy and disappeared in the direction of the living room.
Apparently, Xinghai had finished what he wanted to say.
Zhang Zian's mind was in a daze. It was as if he had encountered an English reading comprehension question that he didn't know even half of the words.
Forget it, things will eventually sort themselves out. Since he couldn't think of anything, he might as well not think about it. The Navigation Elf had warned him that the elfin could disappear at any time. He had no time to waste.
He hurriedly walked down the stairs and threw the disinfectant in his hand to Wang Qian. As he put on his coat, he ordered, "I have to go out for a while. Once you're done cleaning, hurry back to school and prepare for the make-up exam."
Both Wang Qian and Li Kun could see the anxiety between his brows, so they obediently agreed. However, they were very puzzled. Why did Master seem to be in such a hurry? Was the water on the second floor cut off, and he was in a hurry to go to the public toilet?
"Mr. Store Manager, are you coming back for lunch? Do you want to order your share? "Lu Yi Yun hurriedly asked when she saw that he was about to leave.
Zhang Zian pondered for a moment. He wasn't sure when he would be back. "No, you can order your share. You can order whatever you like. I'm leaving now. "
Before he finished his sentence, he had already pushed the door open. He didn't even have time to pull up the zipper of his down jacket.
He left in such a hurry that Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yi Yun looked at each other with question marks in their heads. They couldn't help but secretly worry about him, thinking that his relatives or friends had a sudden illness or an accident, and he needed to rush to visit them.
Zhang Zian came out of the shop, opened the built-in electronic map of the game, and zoomed it to the appropriate size. He saw that the light representing the elfin's location appeared near the East Third Ring Road of Binhai City, located at the junction of the urban area and the suburbs, not far from the pet shop.
He raised his hand to stop a taxi, pointed in a general direction, and asked the driver to drive faster.
It was still the New Year's Day holiday, so there were very few cars on the road. The taxi drove very fast, and the scenery on both sides of the road flew by.
The East City District was the cultural district of Binhai City, where several institutions of higher learning, including Binhai University, were concentrated. Middle schools and elementary schools were scattered everywhere, and the cultural atmosphere was very strong. However, Zhang Zian stared at the flashing light on the phone screen, and couldn't think of anything nearby.
Because he only gave a general direction, the driver was also very embarrassed, and asked him where he was going while driving.
Zhang Zian stretched out his phone, pointed at the screen, and asked, "Sir, are there any landmarks around this area?"
The driver quickly glanced at it, and laughed without answering Zhang Zian's question. "What kind of map app is this? It's so bad. If you drive like this, you will drive into a ditch … You might as well change a map app! "
Zhang Zian laughed twice, and asked the driver again.
"Over there … There's nothing special there. People who go there usually go to two places: Dongfeng Park, and Binhai City Library. Most of the people who go to Dongfeng Park are elderly, and they can get a free ticket if they have an ID. They go to the park to dance and practice Tai Chi. Most young people go to the library, and I often pick up students and teachers from the gate of Binhai University to go there … "The driver looked at him, and added," Of course, many young couples go to Dongfeng Park to enjoy the flowers, but it's winter now … "
Park and library?
"Are these two places far from each other?" Zhang Zian asked again.
The driver answered, "Not far, just a few steps away. Some people get tired of reading, so they go to the park for a walk."
Zhang Zian had been to Dongfeng Park in middle school, but he had no memory of it now. He had only been to Binhai City Library once when he was in elementary school, and he only remembered that the lighting was bad, and that it was small and broken. Not many people borrowed books there.
"Sir, Dongfeng Park … Is it just a park? Are there any places of interest or historical interest? Or is it related to any famous people? Famous people from China or abroad? "he asked.
The driver was surprised by his question, and said uncertainly, "I've never heard of that. It's just a park, right?"
The car was very fast, and they were getting closer and closer to the flashing light.
"What do you think? Have you decided where to go? "the driver urged." Or do you want to stop anywhere? "
If he had to choose one of the two bets, Zhang Zian decided to bet on Binhai City Library.
"To the library," he said.
"Okay, then I'll turn the corner in front." The driver observed the road, turned the steering wheel at the next intersection, and turned right.
A large park appeared on the side of the road. Even in winter, the evergreen trees in the park were lush. In the shadows of the trees, one could vaguely see old people in red and white training clothes practicing Taiji Fist. One could also see old ladies waving pink handkerchiefs and dancing Yangko. A few couples snuggled up to each other and strolled among the blooming wintersweet trees.
There was an artificial lake with thin ice in the park, and there was a big sign by the lake that said, "No skating here."
Zhang Zian's eyes widened, and he observed Dongfeng Park that was rapidly passing by. He didn't expect to find traces of the elfins in such a short time, but at least he wanted to see if there was anything unusual in the park … Unfortunately, there was nothing.
This was a very ordinary park that could be seen everywhere, and there was no cultural atmosphere. Except for the large area, there was nothing special about it. He couldn't find any reason for the elfins to appear in the park.
The possibility of the elfins being in the library was getting higher and higher. He thought of Snowy Lionet, the cat with an abnormal sexual orientation, and it was a cat from a book. Could it be that the elfins that appeared today were also animals recorded in a book?
"Here we are. It's in front." The driver raised his chin to the front.
Zhang Zian twisted his neck, and didn't look forward. He didn't look back until Dongfeng Park completely disappeared from his sight, and tried to prove that his inference was wrong from the last trace of the park.
The taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road. After Zhang Zian got out of the car, he was stunned.
Binhai City Library had obviously been renovated. It was no longer the small and shabby library that he remembered when he was a child. The scale was beyond imagination!
