Lin Mi had been squatting alone on the side of the road for a long time.
Facing the strange looks from passers-by, Lin Mi was extremely glad that she had worn a veil when she cosplayed today——
At least now he can comfort himself that no matter how socially awkward he is, no one knows who he is.
Lin Mi tugged at the hem of the blood-red Hanfu he was wearing. The exquisite hem of the skirt embroidered with gold thread rubbed against the dust on the ground, as if it had a trace of time, which was more in line with the theme of his cosplay today than when it was new.
A ghost bride sealed in an abandoned well.
The long black wig suddenly slipped down from Lin Mi's shoulders and fell on the back of his hand. The cold and tingling touch scared Lin Mi so much that he shuddered all over. He felt that the bright sunshine outside was not so warm anymore.
If he could go back a few hours, he would never believe the antique's nonsense and cosplay as a ghost bride to play that weird horror game.
No matter how beautiful the painting style or how touching the plot was, they could not resist the fear he felt when he saw the heroine's face just now. The moment the heroine suddenly turned around, he didn't care that he was broadcasting live. He just left a message saying that he was going to answer a phone call, and ran out without looking back, trying to use the sunshine and the crowd to heal his frightened little heart.
"Woof?"
The big golden retriever that had been with Lin Mi all the time nudged its owner's shoulder with its big head, its eyes full of confusion. Lin Mi hugged the golden retriever's neck and rubbed it hard. The fluffy and warm touch gave him the courage to go home temporarily.
The live broadcast is still on, he can't stay outside forever and not go home.
When Lin Mi thought about facing the mockery from the army of commentators in the live broadcast room, he felt a headache.
What kind of excuse could be made up to fool the audience and make them forget the embarrassment of being scared away again?
"Da Tao, when we get home later I'll say you opened the door and ran out, and I came out to look for you. They should believe it, right?"
The golden retriever Da Tao shook his head, as if to indicate that even it didn't believe it, then stood up, nudged Lin Mi hard, urging him to go home quickly.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go home now."
Lin Mi finally stood up, patted the dust off her red skirt, and followed Da Tao into the community.
Lin Mi picked up the big peach on the road.
At that time, it was hit by a car and was seriously injured. Its previous owner thought the medical expenses were too expensive and refused to save it, so he abandoned it on the side of the road. It was Lin Mi who took it to the pet hospital, and after it recovered, he took it back home.
Da Tao had a disability in its hind legs, so it walked unsteadily and couldn't run fast. Lin Mi was not in a hurry and just followed it, walking slowly step by step.
"Woof woof?"
Da Tao suddenly stopped in front of a big tree and called out in confusion to the person behind the tree.
The community where Lin Mi lives was built next to the former residence of a historical celebrity, so it can be said to have a long history. There are several hundreds-year-old pine trees in the community, with thick branches and an ancient shape.
If viewed at ordinary times, these pine trees would seem to have some historical charm, but now no matter how Lin Mi looked at it, he felt that the pine tree in front of him, which was more than one meter thick, was very similar to the tree full of rice dumplings in the courtyard of the ancient house in the game just now.
"Da, Da Tao, let's go home quickly."
Lin Mi swallowed and called out to Da Tao tremblingly, but Da Tao seemed to have discovered something. She walked behind the pine tree step by step, then made a urging humming sound, motioning Lin Mi to follow her.
A scene of a rice dumpling floating in the air behind a pine tree suddenly emerged in Lin Mi's mind. He took a step back, then another step back, and looked around the neighborhood, wondering why it was so deserted in the afternoon. He felt that something strange was about to happen.
“Woo woo—”
Da Tao lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing behind the tree. Just when Lin Mi was struggling over whether to go over and take a look, an arm suddenly emerged from behind the tree.
Lin Mi: Aaaaah!
Immediately afterwards, a person was pushed out by the big peach and fell to the ground.
Lin Mi sat down on the ground, trembling as he tried to take out his cell phone to call the police, but found nothing.
I was in such a hurry when I ran out that I left my phone at home.
Da Tao lowered his head and sniffed the man, then tilted his head to look at his master in confusion. Lin Mi raised his trembling hand and pointed at the man lying on the ground, and asked tremblingly: "Dead, dead or alive?"
Da Tao wagged her tail innocently.
Based on his trust in his big golden retriever, Lin Mi finally calmed down. He got up from the ground, not caring about his dirty skirt, and gritted his teeth as he moved towards Da Tao.
Although there was a flat grassland in front of him, just to be on the safe side, Lin Mi still made a half circle in the air and carefully reached over from the direction behind Da Tao. However, the person lying on the ground remained silent and did not make any movement.
Finally reaching Da Tao, Lin Mi squatted down and hugged his big golden retriever's neck before he dared to look at the man on the ground.
The man was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans of the same color. He was wearing flip-flops, but only one of them; the other one was missing.
He didn't seem to have any injuries on his body, and he looked very relaxed lying on the ground, as if he was just asleep.
As long as it's alive.
Lin Mi exhaled slowly and then looked at the man's face.
He was a young man, a very handsome young man.
The curve of his jaw is delicate and graceful. He is thin but not haggard. His nose is straight and his lips are thin. Although his eyes are closed, one can still see that he has elegant features and outstanding appearance.
His cheeks were slightly flushed, his thin lips were half open, his breathing was a little rapid, and he looked as if -
Are you drunk?
Lin Mi bravely moved closer and indeed smelled the scent of alcohol.
I thought I encountered a ghost in broad daylight, but I didn't expect it to be a drunkard.
Lin Mi's tense heart finally relaxed. He stood up and patted Da Tao's head: "Let's go, we should go home."
Since the person is fine, it has nothing to do with him.
Da Tao looked at Lin Mi in confusion, and scratched the person on the ground with its claws. Lin Mi smiled and touched it, explaining: "This is a person, we can't just pick him up randomly. When I get home, I'll call the property management and ask them to come and take a look. Let's go quickly, Zhu Sha will be waiting anxiously if we don't go back."
As soon as cinnabar was mentioned, Da Tao immediately retracted its claws, no longer paid attention to the people on the ground, and followed Lin Mi to leave the pine tree and walk back.
The man and the dog were not walking very fast. Before they had walked far, they heard footsteps behind them, moving towards the man on the ground.
"Fuck, I let this kid run here without noticing."
A man said impatiently, "Hurry up and take him back. We have arranged everything over there. We can take photos and record videos so we don't have to worry about this kid not being obedient."
The other man hesitated: "Brother Sun, isn't it illegal for us to do this? When this guy calls the police, Qin can get away with it, but he must not leave us behind."
Lin Mi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he heard the two people mention "breaking the law", he stopped.
He was "a little" afraid of ghosts, but not afraid of bad guys. The martial arts he learned from his grandfather since he was a child were not in vain. Although his grandfather always said that his moves were just fancy moves, they were more than enough to deal with two bad guys.
The man called Brother Sun kicked the man on the ground. Seeing that he had no intention of waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you afraid of? We are just paying him to do something and asking him to go back. We are not hurting him. What law have we violated?"
"Besides, Young Master Qin just wants him to renew his contract with Team XY. Once the contract is signed, this kid won't dare to cause trouble for his own future, so don't worry."
Another man couldn't help but gasp: "I didn't expect that the e-sports circle would resort to such shady tactics. Brother Sun, you said that Young Master Qin is not short of money, why would he resort to such means?"
"You know shit!" Brother Sun sneered, "Do you know who this guy is? He's the top mid laner in the League of Legends in China, and he's one of the top-paid players in the first team, right? The annual contract fee is enough for you to live for several lifetimes! Okay, take him back quickly, you'll have to pay for it."
Lin Mi, who was hiding not far away and listening with the dog in his arms, suddenly realized——
It turned out to be him. No wonder I felt he looked familiar just now.
Although Lin Mi is not very interested in MOBA games like League of Legends, he is in the gaming circle after all, so he still knows a thing or two.
As a representative work of 5v5 moba games, League of Legends has been widely watched over the years, and the professional leagues and professional players that have emerged are also highly sought after.
In the past two years, the Korean region has dominated the international arena, but the LPL league teams representing China have always performed poorly. Even the European and American regions can surpass the LPL. This has made domestic players very dissatisfied, and their desire for victory has become more and more intense.
The "team" that Sun Ge mentioned is the strongest player in each position voted by industry insiders after the end of each season. It represents the highest level of the LPL league. The players who are selected will have their value doubled and will become the target of major e-sports clubs during the transfer period.
Lin Mi was not familiar with the LPL players, but there was one person's name he often heard, and that was the mid laner of this year's first team mentioned by Brother Sun, Boat Rong Zezhou.
Because he is the white moonlight in the heart of Lin Mi's half-brother Gudong, the kind of person who recommends him to everyone he meets and calls him nice in his dreams.
After being mentioned by Gudian many times, Lin Mi couldn't help but pay more attention to Rong Zezhou. He knew that Rong Zezhou had been serving as the mid laner of the XY team since entering the LPL. Even if other teams offered him sky-high salaries, he had never been tempted. He was a well-known "not for sale" player.
But from what Brother Sun said today, it seems that this "not for sale" player does not want to renew his contract with the XY team.
In fact, it is normal for professional players to change teams just like ordinary people change jobs. Every year during the transfer period, a large number of professional players choose to change teams, and I have never heard of any team deliberately making things difficult for the players.
But today's matter doesn't seem that simple.
Although he didn't know what the two people in front of him were going to do by taking Rong Zezhou back, it was definitely not something legitimate. Team XY was considered a veteran and strong team in the LPL. How could they have resorted to such shady means to keep their players?
Should we care?
Lin Mi felt a little conflicted. This matter had nothing to do with him, but if he watched Rong Zezhou, who was drunk to death, being taken away in front of him, he would always feel guilty if something happened.
"Hey, where's the dog?"
While Lin Mi was still hesitating, Brother Sun and the other man leaned over and tried to pick up Rong Zezhou who was lying on the ground, but they were suddenly knocked off balance by a big golden retriever that had slipped past. The big golden retriever put one foot on Rong Zezhou's chest and bared its teeth and whined at Brother Sun.
Lin Mi laughed——
Well, there were so many things picked up at home that Da Tao had formed a habit. It thought Rong Zezhou was something it had picked up and actually ran to protect the food.
Brother Sun straightened up while cursing, but he was a little afraid that the big dog in front of him would bite him, so he didn't dare to go forward. He was about to turn around to find the dog's owner, but he heard the man next to him suddenly shout "Ghost!" and then ran away without caring about anything.
Brother Sun turned his head stiffly, and saw a woman in blood-red Hanfu suddenly appeared on the grass that was empty just now.
Gorgeous dress, complicated hair accessories, red gauze covering the face but highlighting the delicate eyebrows and eyes, coupled with the tall and well-proportioned figure. If you see such photos on the Internet, the comments below will definitely be all about beauty stickers, but when the real person appears in front of you, it is a different feeling.
In an old neighborhood full of historical charm, on an empty lawn, a person dressed like this suddenly appeared, staring at people without saying a word.
Brother Sun felt his legs tremble and cold sweat broke out on his back.
In broad daylight, what a ghost!
"Ghost, ghost——"
Lin Mi looked at Brother Sun stumbling away with an innocent look on his face, then lowered his head and reached out to take Da Tao's claws off Rong Zezhou's chest.
"I just wanted to get my dog away."
The author has something to say:
Brother Sun: Boss, the target was captured by a female ghost in broad daylight——
Qin Yingzhuo: Should I ask a guru for help or call 120?
