Chapter 10: Late Night in the Urban Village



At 9:20 pm, Lin took off her makeup and received 450 yuan from Tang Mingxu before leaving get off work. Of the 450 yuan, 400 yuan was her salary and 50 yuan was extra for the taxi fare. With Lin's stinginess, how could she use this money to take a taxi? It was only a little after 9 o'clock, not 11 o'clock, and there were still buses.

Because escape rooms require a relatively large space, most of them are located in remote areas. The escape room where Lin worked rented a building that was converted from an abandoned factory. Although it is a distance from the school, there is a direct bus. It takes five or six minutes to walk from the building to the bus stop. However, because this place is relatively remote, there are not many buses and the intervals are long. If you walk a little further, there will be an urban village. After passing through the urban village, you will enter a relatively prosperous area, where there are many more buses.

Lin An glanced at the real-time bus schedule and saw that the bus outside the building would not arrive for half an hour. Lin An did not want to wait and planned to go directly through the urban village to catch the bus and buy some food to reward herself.

People who have lived in big cities will know that although places like urban villages look messy, they are actually quite prosperous and sell all kinds of things.

Lin had been to the village several times, and she had even gone to the village to check the rental prices, planning to rent a small house in the village after graduation. But this was the first time she went there at night.

Wearing headphones and carrying a backpack, Lin entered the village hopping and skipping. Not long after entering the village, she came across a night snack stall at the entrance of the alley. The owner had just fried a portion of stinky tofu and was pouring sauce and chopped green onions into it. Lin was so smelly that she couldn't walk.

"Student, would you like one?" The boss looked at Lin Xi with a smile.

"how much?"

"Eight."

As expected, things in the urban village are much cheaper. If it were in the mall, it would cost at least fifteen yuan. "Okay, one serving, with more spicy sauce."

"Okay." The boss quickly poured a box of stinky tofu into the oil pan and fried it. He asked Lin to look at other things and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? The iron plate tofu is not bad either."

"I can't just take advantage of you. I'll come back next time." Lin paid by scanning the QR code. While waiting, she chatted with the boss. "How do you know I'm a student? Most people who live here are already working."

"Students and office workers have different temperaments, and you can tell at a glance."

"Do you also know about the corporate animal?" Don't you have the temperament of a corporate animal? Lin Xi thinks that she has done so much division of labor that she has already mastered the temperament of a corporate animal.

"How can you not know? Isn't someone like me a corporate slave?" the boss said with a smile.

"You are not. You are a self-employed person, a boss. Social animals work for others."

"It's all the same, all the same." With the boss's hearty laughter, the stinky tofu was fried. According to Lin's instructions, the boss added a lot of chili sauce: "Eat it while it's hot, but be careful not to burn it."

"Thank you, boss." Lin Nan ate as she walked. The hot stinky tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a spicy taste. Just one bite made Lin Nan close her eyes with happiness.

The world is worth it, the world is worth it!

It's just that the boss is too honest and put too much chili in the dish.

Lin Xi took a breath, looked around, and soon found a small supermarket. She ran over and opened the refrigerator, and her hand instinctively fell on the Coke.

"It's not good to eat fried food and drink Coke at night. Let's change something." Lin Yu retracted her hand and looked at the lactic acid drink worth six yuan. "The bus is only two yuan, the stinky tofu is eight yuan, and the bottle of drink is six yuan. There is still thirty-four yuan left. Buy it."

Lin took the drinks generously and went to pay the bill. Suddenly, a black and gold lottery ticket holder appeared before her eyes.

Shake it twice and a lot falls.

【Qi Anlian, 26 years old, was followed and raped when she returned home late at night.】

"Pah." Lin's drink fell to the ground because she didn't hold it steady. The bottle cap loosened when she twisted it, and the milky white liquid spilled all over the ground. The flying liquid just happened to splash on a pair of beautiful legs in black silk stockings who had just stepped into the store.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin took out toilet paper from her bag and wiped the beautiful legs with it.

"Don't move." The owner of the beautiful legs took a step back, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "My stockings are very expensive, be careful not to get them caught."

Lin Xi didn't dare to move anymore, and stood up carefully, only then did she see the woman's appearance. The woman had beautiful long curly hair, delicate makeup on her face, and a decent professional suit, which was supported by her tall and curvy figure, showing an elegant and charming style, which was what Lin Xi imagined a female white-collar worker to look like.

The woman glanced at her stockings and glared at Lin Xi with displeasure.

"I'm sorry." Lin apologized again.

"Forget it, you didn't mean it." The woman seemed tired and didn't want to argue with Lin Nan. She took a bottle of water, paid the bill and left.

Wait, the result of the occupation has not been told yet. Lin Yu subconsciously wanted to chase after him.

"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't paid yet." The shop owner called out to Lin Xi.

"Oh oh oh," Lin Yan just remembered, took out her phone and quickly paid six yuan, then bent down and put the half-empty bottle of drink on the ground into her arms. Just as she was about to chase after him, she turned back and asked the shop owner, "Boss, do you know the name of that beautiful woman just now?"

"I think her last name is Qi, but I can't remember her first name. Nowadays young people like to have English names..."

The boss kept nagging a little more, but Lin Xi had already chased after him.

Although it was basically confirmed that the woman just now was Qi Anlian from the restaurant, considering that this was a village in the city with a dense population, it was possible that other women passed by within three meters. For safety reasons, Lin asked the boss. At the same time, within three meters, and with the same surname Qi, it was unlikely that there was someone else.

Qi Anlian was wearing high heels and was not walking fast. When Lin came out of the store, she was still at the intersection ahead. Lin took a few quick steps and followed behind Qi Anlian, looking around vigilantly.

Where would the person following her hide? The more she looked, the more frightened she became. She felt that there might be someone hiding in every alley.

Or I could just tell Qi Anlian the result of the divination. But would she believe it?

When Lin Xi was hesitating, Qi Anlian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Xi: "Why are you following me?"

Lin held the unfinished stinky tofu in one hand and the half-remaining bottle of lactic acid drink in the other. Facing the beautiful woman's gaze, she decided to tell her. No matter whether the other party believed it or not, she would be cautious about what she said.

"Well, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin asked.

Qi Anlian looked at Lin Nan in confusion: "Who asked you to ask this?"

"No one asked me to ask. I just wanted to say that if you have a boyfriend, ask him to pick you up. You are so beautiful and it's not safe so late now. Just now, many men were secretly looking at you." The latter part of the sentence was added by Lin Xi herself. She said this to make Qi Anlian aware of the danger.

Qi Anlian didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "Thank you, my house is just ahead, we'll be there soon."

"Someone really is watching you, and the way they look at you is particularly... particularly obscene." Lin Xi almost said directly that she wants to rape you.

Qi Anlian looked at Lin Xi's serious expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Little girl, it's so funny. You haven't graduated yet. That's how men look at women. You'll understand when you grow up."

Lin was going crazy: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a little annoying. I'll be fine once I move out." Qi Anlian was not surprised that some men looked at her. Since the first day she moved into the village, all the men around her had secretly looked at her. More than a dozen men had confessed their love to her, but she would never fall for a man living here. To be honest, she was a little tired of this place. Fortunately, she had just been promoted and had a salary increase, so she could move out next month.

"Would you believe me if I said I could tell fortunes?" Lin Yan said, "I predicted that you would be followed tonight, and then... that."

Qi Anlian's eyes gradually turned cold.

"I'm sorry, I really am not cursing you. I really can tell fortunes. Whether you believe it or not, it's always better for you to be careful." Lin Xi closed her eyes and apologized vigorously.

She said that this skill, which can only bring bad luck, really attracts too much hatred, like a bird that announces death.

"My little classmate, you should study hard before you graduate. I used to like horoscopes and divination, but after graduation you will know that these things will not give you extra points when you are looking for a job." Qi Anlian said this as if giving a warning or a reminder, and then she ignored Lin Yan and left in her high heels.

The way she walked was very pretty, charming and slender, exuding a kind of feminine aura. The faint fragrance came with the night wind, and Lin Yan suddenly woke up and followed her in a few steps.

"Why are you still following me?" Qi Anlian frowned.

"Let me take you home. It's safer for two of us to walk together at night." Lin Yan said sincerely. The pervert would not dare to attack seeing so many people around.

Qi Anlian was silent for a moment, then asked a question: "You sent me back, so how are you going to go back alone? If it's really dangerous."

“Boom boom!!!”

Lin Xi was struck by lightning and froze on the spot. She...she seemed to have forgotten something very, very important.

Her extreme luck value of -99, as well as the hidden attributes that come with her luck value, attract hatred.

No, no, Qi Anlian is so feminine, and I am still a child.

"If you are scared, hurry home. There will be no one on the road if you go any later." Qi Anlian saw that the girl was pale and knew that she was scared. She persuaded her and continued to walk home. She was not lying just now. Her home was not far away. It was only a dozen meters ahead and could be seen.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of occupying the enemy's husks and gaining 1 point of merit. Help the other party avoid bad luck and gain an additional 9 points of merit."

It worked.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then shuddered, turned around abruptly, and shivered as she looked at the dark alley behind her. At this moment, she was like a little white rabbit in the wilderness, and there was a beast lurking behind every shadow.

It’s better to call and have someone answer the phone.

Lin took out her cell phone and called Tang Mingxu. This place was closest to the factory, and Manager Tang should be able to get here soon.

"Manager, can you..." Before Lin Yan could finish her words, the screen of her mobile phone suddenly went dark and it ran out of battery and turned off.

"There's no electricity at this time. How unlucky!!" Lin Xi wailed.

"Host, don't you have any idea about your own luck?" The system's voice sounded at an inopportune time.

"Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks at this time?" Lin Xi was really about to cry.
