Standing on a small mound by the road, Hao Ren looked at the desolate, run-down village not far away. His mind raced, wondering if his intelligence could be saved. How could he be so easily tricked into coming to this place?
He was surprised that there was such a place near the city where he had lived for more than 20 years. Such a primitive and run-down village. Although this place was indeed quite far from the city, Hao Ren's impression of such a small village was that it should only exist in a ravine. High mountains and lofty ridges obstructed civilization, and dangerous cliffs and cliffs blocked traffic. That was why there were human settlements that maintained such a style. But this place was not that remote. There was even a road leading to the city near the village … So he was a little surprised by the village in front of him.
But what surprised him more was that the strange woman on the phone actually used the name of an import and export trading company to ask him to come to this place for an interview … This was unacceptable. You can insult a person's character, but can you not insult their intelligence? Although Hao Ren could not tell the difference between a trading company and a street supermarket, at least he could see that the small village not far away might not even have a grocery store!
Hao Ren stood by the road under the scorching sun, silently looking in the direction where the old bus disappeared. He had to wait here for more than an hour before he could meet the next passing car. Just thinking about it made him full of pessimism. At this time, he even missed the poor vampire who did not pay rent and always caused trouble. He missed the cold air around Vivian. Although the cold air always had a bloody smell, at least it was cool! There was not even a sapling in sight within a radius of a few hundred meters. The biggest shade in sight was under the electric pole a hundred meters away. The area of the shadow was just enough for Hao Ren to cool down his arms … This was not going to continue!
As for the small village not far away, which seemed to be only a ten-minute walk away … Hao Ren did not plan to go there at all. Even if the interview was real, he did not plan to go there. Wasn't it obvious? Who had nothing better to do than to work in a place like this?
Moreover, it looked like a joke. He was tricked by the mysterious woman on the phone.
Hao Ren was only curious about one thing: Why was he involuntarily tricked into answering the phone? Why didn't he feel anything strange when he heard the magical name "Bastard"? Why did he only feel like an idiot when he got out of the car and saw the village? He hadn't thought about these three problems before. Now that he thought about them, he broke out in a cold sweat!
That's right. Hao Ren still remembered that when he received that weird phone call, he did think for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and then decided to come and see the situation after "careful consideration." At that time, he felt that his mentality was very normal. Those few minutes of hesitation and thinking were enough to prove that he had decided to come here out of his own will. But now that he thought about it … his decision to come here did not make sense at all!
Even if the words "Bastard" and "Import and Export Trading Company" were put together, he should have been suspicious!
Hao Ren subconsciously touched his head, trying to make sure that the few kilograms of things on his neck still belonged to him.
After a few seconds, Hao Ren walked in the direction he came from. It was not very realistic to walk all the way home under the scorching sun, but he felt that he should at least stay away from this godforsaken place! Staying away from the address provided by the mysterious woman might increase his safety factor. He could wait for the bus to pass by on the road. After all, the broken car did not have a fixed stop, and it would stop at any time.
The phone call was not normal, the number was not normal, and the mysterious woman was not normal. She used a loophole to trick Hao Ren into coming here. So, Hao Ren knew that his mind was probably not normal for a while. Now, he had to leave this place as soon as possible and return to the other two abnormal creatures at home. Maybe Lily and Vivian would have some ideas. At least the vampire seemed to know magic. She had mentioned something about magic.
However, just as he took a few steps, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The familiar ringtone startled Hao Ren. The ringtone was at least ten times louder than usual, and it hurt his eardrums. It was as if a faint anger was coming through the ringtone. Hao Ren hurriedly took out the phone. On the small color screen was a string of unusual phone numbers: 00000012345.
Hao Ren stared at the string of numbers for a long time and decisively removed the battery. Fortunately, he did not buy an iPhone, or Apple users would probably smash the phone in anger.
But soon, he found that he could only smash the phone in anger. After removing the battery, the ringtone did not stop. Just like in every supernatural horror movie, his phone did not stop even after removing the battery. The string of strange numbers on the screen and the ringtone continued to urge him. If Hao Ren was a little suspicious before, this time, he was a hundred percent sure that he was entangled by an abnormal phenomenon!
What was worse was that he could not find anything to protect himself. He did not even have the time to ask Lily or Vivian about the world of the "unusual creatures" before he ran out!
When the ringtone repeated for the third time, Hao Ren finally made up his mind. He raised the Nokia in his hand high and smashed it on the ground!
"I don't believe that you can still scream after smashing it... What the f * ck?"
The Nokia was indeed the world's number one divine machine. Hao Ren watched as his old phone streaked across the ground, and then... and then embedded itself into the cement floor. Can you believe it?! Moreover, it was still screaming as if it was urging him to die!
Hao Ren was sure that he did not have that much strength, so the only explanation for this phenomenon was that the caller was using this method to warn him not to resist. Some things were not based on science, reason, and common sense. Even if you tied the phone to a strategic missile and shot it to the other side of the world, it would not work!
Hao Ren bent down to pick up the undamaged phone and pressed it to his ear. Even though his heart was beating like a drum, he was still very confident (he was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. He was a person who would be poor even if he was about to die). "Hey! What do you want?! "
"Nonsense, I asked you to come for an interview!" The melodious yet scary female voice rang again. But for some reason, the moment he heard the voice, Hao Ren felt a little relieved. Perhaps it was because the other party could speak human language, which made him feel like he could communicate with her? Or perhaps it was because the mysterious woman was still talking about the "interview", which made him feel a little comforted.
At this point, with all kinds of anomalies in front of him, if the other party had ill intentions, now was the time to shed all pretense of cordiality. Since the woman did not use her supernatural ability to cleanse him with a bolt of lightning from afar, Hao Ren thought that he was temporarily safe.
As for why it was lightning and not something else... that was because Hao Ren's imagination had stopped here. He could not think of anything more powerful. The fight between Lily and Vivian last night was like a Hollywood blockbuster to him.
"Interview..." Hao Ren tried to calm himself down, pretending that he was not afraid at all. His voice was very steady. "Let's get this straight. Since I'm already here, are you really going to make up that import and export trading company? Can't you just tell me what you want? "
"Oh, we have a rule. We can't reveal secrets unless the time is right." The female voice on the other side of the phone did not sound scary, nor did it sound threatening. It sounded like a normal conversation. This surprised Hao Ren. "Now, just follow my instructions, and you will find our workplace..."
"Wait!" Hao Ren interrupted loudly. He could not follow the other party's rhythm anymore. "Let's get this straight first. What do you want? Let's not beat around the bush. Stop using the cover of an interview, okay? "
The woman on the other side of the phone became impatient. "Why are you being so wishy-washy? I said that it's an interview, so it's an interview. If you really want to know the rules, you have to come here first! Now listen, do you see that telephone pole up ahead? He walked to the telephone pole and placed his hand on the advertisement of the old Chinese medicine doctor. He faced north … but he didn't know which way was north. North, south, left, west, right, east, raise your head and look up! "
Hao Ren was speechless. He felt that the person on the other side of the phone was a lunatic.
But when he did look up, he was stunned.
A huge inverted building hovered above his head!
(It is said that it is more effective to make the first watch at noon? Let me give it a try. =)
