Wolf ears?
Hao Ren was stunned. He rubbed his eyes hard after Lily had walked some distance away. When he looked again, the ordinary short-haired girl was still in front of him.
However, he was sure that he really saw a pair of pointy, weird ears! He could even clearly remember the appearance of the pair of ears: triangular, growing on Lily's head, standing upright, covered with beautiful silver-white fluff. There was no mistaking it! Hao Ren had always been confident in his eyesight and short-term memory.
But now there was nothing on Lily's head, and what he saw just now was really not normal. So, he patted his face and comforted himself, "Why am I so sleepy today? I'm hallucinating."
"Mr. Landlord, what did you just say?" Lily suddenly turned her head and looked at him. Her big eyes were shining under the night sky, full of vitality. "What hallucination?"
Hao Ren thought that the girl's ears were really good. She had heard him whispering just now, but he did not show it on his face. He just waved his hand casually and said, "Nothing, I saw wrongly. Let's go, we still have to settle you down tonight. "
"Oh," Lily carried a huge box and walked in front of Hao Ren. As she walked, she did not stop talking. "Mr. Landlord, is there a place to eat nearby? I haven't eaten yet … Can I eat at your place today? I'll pay for the meal. Hey, Mr. Landlord, why are you walking behind me? You lead the way, I don't know the way … "
Hao Ren caught up with her in a few steps. Although this naggy girl was a little silly, she was quite interesting when she was straightforward. He casually said, "It's okay, I'll take care of the meal. Anyway, it's just me. No matter how much I cook, it doesn't matter."
As soon as his voice trailed off, the "flapping" sound that he heard just now suddenly came from above again!
This time, he raised his head even faster than before, so he could clearly see a bat-like shadow the size of an eagle streaking across the night sky!
Of course, he did not think that it was really a bat. He just thought that it was a big bird that flew from somewhere looking for food in the residential area. This place was not far from the wasteland, and it was not unusual for wild birds to occasionally fly into the residential area. However, he was worried that Lily would have a bad impression of this place, so he casually comforted her. "Don't worry, maybe it's a wild bird. This place is quite close to the wasteland."
Lily's voice suddenly came from a very close place, sounding a little anxious. "Mr. Landlord, why don't you go first? I … I'll catch up later. I have something to do!"
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this. He was puzzled and casually said, "How can I do that? I have to show you the way. This place is full of twists and turns. It's easy to get lost here … Hey, why are you so close to me?"
Only then did he notice that Lily's voice was very close to him. He turned his head and saw that her face was only a few inches away from him. Her unusually bright eyes were staring straight at him. Although beautiful, it was really scary in the dark. Hao Ren immediately jumped back more than half a meter. "Let me tell you! I'm a serious person! "
This was his bad habit. When he was nervous, he would talk nonsense.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Hao Ren saw that Lily's face was a little anxious. She looked up at the night sky and sniffed a few times. "Mr. Landlord, you go first. I can really catch up with you. I remember your smell … Hey, why are you so fussy? I really have my own things to do!"
"No way!" Hao Ren's stubbornness was also rising. He did not even have the time to discuss what "remember your smell" meant. He just put on a straight face. "What if something happens? Do you think I'll leave you here in the middle of the night? I feel bad. What's the matter that you can't tell me? "
As mentioned before, Hao Ren was really a good person. At least, he was a responsible person. He was the one who brought Lily to this place, so he felt that he had the responsibility to send her home safely. Although she was a girl with extraordinary strength, it had nothing to do with whether he was worried or not. If something really happened to the girl, he would feel guilty.
And he also could not understand why a girl who just came from another place would want to do something so important at this time.
Lily's face was already very anxious, and her behavior was obviously strange. She put her big suitcase on the ground with a loud thud, and then kept looking up at the surrounding high walls. On both sides of the path were old buildings of two or three storeys high. They were the symbol of the prosperity of the residents when this place was still prosperous. But with the passage of time, the once beautiful small buildings had become mottled old houses. Only high walls of uneven height blocked both sides of the path, leaving only a narrow gap between the buildings.
And Lily's eyes quickly wandered between these high walls, and at the same time, she began to frequently twitch her nose, as if trying to distinguish the smell in the air, and at the same time, she gently moved her hands and feet. Seeing this scene, even if Hao Ren was slow, he should have realized that something was wrong. Although he still felt that the girl in front of him was strange in all aspects, the two consecutive strange sounds in the sky had made him a little nervous, so he had no time to pay attention to other things. Now that he saw Lily's strange behavior, he naturally knew that she had found out something. "Oh, Lily Liu … What's wrong?"
"Just call me Lily," said the girl subconsciously, and then looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "Ah, Mr. Landlord, why are you still here?"
"You didn't hear what I said just now, did you?" Hao Ren cautiously leaned next to Lily. Although his tone was relaxed, his fists were clenched. He could not see anything unusual around him, but he did feel that the atmosphere had become strange. A faint smell of blood and a cold wind that did not conform to this season were spreading out from all directions of the dark corners. To be honest, he felt that his legs were a little trembling.
Hao Ren thought that he was brave, but he could not stop the strange situation in front of him.
Until now, Hao Ren did not know what was going on. He had heard a lot of urban legends and modern versions of ghost stories, including the ghosts in the alley and the ghosts at the crossroads. But he had always regarded it as a leisure activity. But now, what was this?
At first, he could still explain it away by saying that he was oversensitive and was "infected" by Lily's strange behavior. But as time went by, the smell of blood in the air had become so strong that he could almost taste it when he opened his mouth. The cold wind in all directions had turned his breath into frost. No matter how much he believed in science and refused to believe in superstition, he knew that he had encountered something abnormal. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Lily had hurriedly urged him to leave. He remembered that the girl was already vigilant when "everything was normal", and he remembered that she was on guard without panicking … He suddenly understood that this girl, whom he had secretly called a "silly girl", knew what was going on!
"F * ck, which world line is wrong? Why am I in this situation …" Hao Ren carefully looked around, enduring the pungent smell of blood and the omnipresent cold. He felt that his thinking had slowed down. "Is this still the f * cking real world? Where is the happy life of science?"
"Mr. Landlord, I'm sorry to get you involved. This' thing 'may be looking for me," Lily's voice suddenly came from behind Hao Ren, with a hint of hoarseness. "You're a good person, better than the people I've met before, so I'll try my best to keep you alive, I promise!"
"Don't give me the 'good person card' at this time …" Hao Ren's teeth were chattering, but he still turned his head and complained. However, when he saw Lily's appearance, he could no longer say a word.
An almost unfamiliar girl stood beside him. She had waist-length silver hair and a beautiful face, but she had a pair of strange golden eyes that did not belong to a human at all. The pale golden pupils even glowed slightly under the night sky. It was a color that was completely different from normal eyes. A pair of silver-white wolf-like ears stood erect on top of her head, trembling from time to time in the cold wind, and sensitively turning to every weak source of sound in the surroundings.
Behind the girl, a bright silver tail emerged from the gap of her clothes and was swaying in the air.
A wolf-like girl … Or in the current popular term, the attribute of animal ears?
Hao Ren did not know why he could still complain, but he knew that his life was full of fun.
If he still had a life after today.
