Chapter 60

Actually, not to mention Lu Yueling

, Xu Ming herself didn’t quite understand what she saw.

The two strange figures in long skirts that were full of incongruity were fine, but what puzzled her even more was that next to the two figures there was a huge black dog-like shadow, with a tattered suitcase attached to its teeth, and a shiny dagger stuck on the top of the tattered suitcase…

Just this scene, a Western fantasy with horror, horror with incongruity, and incongruity with inexplicability. If it weren’t for the fact that her hand was on the work card record, Xu Ming would really suspect that this was actually an illusion caused by some strange power.

On the other hand, although Xu Ming couldn't see the faces of the two figures clearly due to the angle of observation, judging from the body shape and temperament, one of them seemed to be Landor...

But if she thought calmly, if it was really Landor, then the outfit seemed understandable. After all, the basic requirement of this weird story is to be as close to Guo Shuyi's image as possible... But why is it a yellow skirt?

She thought the other party would prefer pink.

After all, when she asked her to buy new rags and aprons, she chose pink.

With such doubts, Xu Ming calmed down, closed his eyes, and pressed his left hand on Landor's work card record again.

What he saw changed again, and the angle of observation opened again. This time, Xu Ming ignored those strange things and only focused on observing the figure in the yellow skirt. Finally, he confirmed that the other person was Landor.

Then, he withdrew his gaze without hesitation. Xu Ming blinked again, hesitated for a moment, picked up the pen with his left hand, and began to write laboriously on Landor's work card record.

*

At the same time. In

another world far away.

In a desolate abandoned small park. Behind the wildly growing green belt.

A black shadow at least two meters long, like a big dog, was lying on the ground, whimpering, with its legs straight back, its two front paws holding its nose, and its mouth forced to open wide. The old suitcase was still stuck on the scary teeth that were turned outward. Landor was standing by, trying to help it pull it out. However, with a little force, the big dog began to howl and even moved back in fear.

Landor was at a loss as to what to do.

Tian Yiliang stood silently by, helping to carry Landor's precious parasol. His eyes would occasionally fall on the beautiful short sword that was inserted into the suitcase and was shining quietly. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but said:

"Can't your... pet become smaller?

" "If you let it return to its previous size, can't you just take the suitcase down directly?"

"It can't become smaller." Landor heard this, but didn't even turn his head, "It can't become smaller if there are other things hanging on it. "

Tian Yiliang: "..."

Does that mean I can't draw my sword now even if I want to?

He pushed his sunglasses down tiredly, his eyes swept over the "big dog" that was retreating again and again because of Landor's actions, and he sighed in his heart for the nth time.

Okay, it looks like it really won't work.

"Sorry. Wait a minute." As if sensing his slightly resentful look, Landor hurriedly said, "This box is stuck, and it's afraid to let me get it... I'll take it down as soon as possible."

"...It's okay. No hurry. I don't need my sword in a hurry." Tian Yiliang said, looking up and looking around, "But you'd better hurry up, or find a way to hide this big dog. The outside of this park looks like a school. After school, there may be students passing by here. "

Such a weird and strange big dog, once discovered, will definitely attract attention. The two of them who are with this big dog might be suspected of Guo Shuyi's identity.

After he mentioned this, Landor became even more anxious. He leaned over and studied how to get the suitcase down again. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity again.

——God knows, at the amusement park, he just realized that he couldn't beat the opponent, so he decisively chose to escape. Who would have thought that the box was stuck so tightly, and the "big dog" who received his order suddenly pulled out, but did not pull its teeth out of the box, but pulled the whole box off the neck of the monster opposite...

Anyway, Landor didn't expect it. So he was stupid.

The big dog The dog was also dumbfounded. The monster with a sudden cool breeze on its head was also dumbfounded.

The only one who was not dumb was

Tian Yiliang who was standing in the bathroom watching the game. It happened that the transmission point had been opened at this time, and he immediately raised his voice to signal Lando. Lando suddenly came to his senses, turned around and ran without hesitation, dragging his family with him, including the dog, the suitcase and the sword.

Of course, he did not forget to take away the folding umbrella that Xu Ming had given him.

A bunch of chaos All the messy things were stuffed into a small compartment. The two men took up space, and in order to ensure that the compartment door could be closed smoothly, the "big dog" was forced to stand in a sausage shape. The short sword inserted in the box kept moving with its movements, and failed to take the monster's head, but almost cut Tian Yiliang's own throat...

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Landor finally burst out with his hand speed, He locked the compartment door that was bulging out of shape.

After that, they came here together.

A small park with few people.

Fortunately, there were not many people. Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain such a puzzling team composition and collective shape.

To be on the safe side, Landor and the others hid behind a green belt with a certain shielding ability. While there was no one around, they quickly solved the problem of the suitcase.

"No, could you please stop moving... I'm not going to pull your teeth out. What are you afraid of? "

After another failed attempt to unplug the box, Landor couldn't help himself and patted the "big dog" lightly on the nose. The latter uttered a slight whimper and fell back to the ground again. Landor shook his head and was about to move again, but he felt a sudden warmth in his chest -

as if he realized something, he quickly lowered his head and pulled out his work badge from the Strange Talk Demolition and Relocation Office from his collar.

After looking down for a while, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head and looked up, then quickly raised his hand to tidy up his messy wig, thought about it, and quickly distanced himself from the "big dog" lying on the ground, and kept waving at him.

"Stay away, stay away. "Tian Yiliang heard him say to the "big dog," "Don't let her see you, it's too ugly."

"?" Tian Yiliang looked over curiously, "Who?"

"My Lord..." Landor paused halfway through his words, as if he was hesitating whether to tell the truth. After a few seconds, he began to speak stiffly, "My Almighty Lord."

Tian Yiliang: “……?”

Who was that, Prince Yan?

Lando did not explain further, but quickly tidied up his appearance, picked up the folded umbrella beside him, whispered to Tian Yiliang "something happened", turned around and hurried away, walking towards the bathroom not far away.

Almost at the moment he left, the "big dog" lying on the ground seemed to understand something and howled again. Obviously, it was unwilling to let Lando move its teeth just now, but now it took the initiative to start shaking its head and digging. After digging for a while, it found that it really couldn't get it done, and began to push Tian Yiliang next to it, urging him to help him deal with it quickly.

Tian Yiliang was swayed by it, and had to look away; on the other side, Lando finally rushed to the toilet, but did not go in. Instead, he went around to a small corner behind the building, took a deep breath, and picked up the work card again.

I saw that a line of crooked words had appeared on the blank space of the work card. Lando followed the instructions of the words and carefully took the folding umbrella in his left hand. Almost at the moment of picking it up, a familiar voice rang softly in his mind.

"Hello?" Xu Ming's voice sounded a little ethereal, and there was some tentativeness in his tone, "Landuo Landuo? Can you hear me?"

"..." Unconsciously touching the bell on his neck, Landuo's lips moved slightly, and he also responded softly in his mind, "Yeah."

"That's good." Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "This is my first time using this function, and I was worried that something would go wrong. Fortunately, it was you who followed in..."

The premise of being able to suggest remote consciousness communication is that both parties have something of the other party. Coincidentally, Xu Ming had the bell given by Landuo, and Landuo had the folding umbrella given by Xu Ming, which met this condition.

Otherwise, Xu Ming would have to continue writing on the notebook with his left hand at this moment, and who knows when he would finish.

"Anyway, remember, don't let go of the folded umbrella during the exchange." For the sake of safety, Xu Ming reminded Lando again, "And you can only hold it with your left hand, don't forget."

Lando couldn't help but frowned when he heard this: "Left hand? Why left hand?

"What's wrong with your right hand?"

"......?" In the B&B, Xu Ming, who sat back on the bed, was obviously stunned. He didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask this. He paused for two seconds before saying, "No, it's mainly because it's inconvenient?"

"Are you injured?" Lando frowned even more tightly.

Xu Ming: "..."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." After another moment of silence, Xu Ming decisively chose to end the topic, "This skill will consume my physical strength, so let's get to the point quickly... What's the situation on your side? What happened to you after you came in? Tell me about it. "

"..."Hearing her say this, Landor cooperated and did not ask any more questions. He just quickly talked about the situation on his side. Xu Ming listened quietly, taking notes while listening, but fell silent again when he heard the end.

"In other words, the monster you saw in the amusement park also has a rose tattoo on its neck..."

Xu Ming unconsciously repeated this fact in his mind, and after getting Landor's confirmation again, he closed his eyes.

The amusement park is the same scene that appeared in the Guo Shuyi case. The rose tattoo in the same position is also on Big Guo.

The two facts have once again confirmed his guess, but Xu Ming is not happy at all.

As if noticing her depression, Landor instinctively raised his head and looked up, even though he knew that he could not see anything: "Mingming? Are you okay? "

...It's okay." Xu Ming exhaled deeply, opened his eyes again, and didn't care about Lando's address. He just continued, "Then let's talk about the man who weeded vigorously. From what you said, he should know something about this place..."

"Yeah." Lando nodded, "But he is not very willing to share information."

"No, he has told you a lot." Xu Ming in the B&B pursed his lips, "But these are not enough..."

"Well, Lando."

After a pause, Xu Ming's voice rang in his mind again: "Next, you do what I say. Remember, don't let go of the folded umbrella."

...

At the same time.

Behind the green belt.

With a "pop", the suitcase that was stuck between the teeth of "Big Dog" was finally pulled out. Tian Yiliang looked down at the saliva-stained surface of the suitcase and pushed his sunglasses with mixed feelings.

He didn't understand how Landor could have been struggling for so long.

Just as he lowered his head and was about to pull out his short sword, footsteps were heard not far away. Landor is finally back.

The "Big Dog" who was just shaking his head happily was startled, and the huge Its body collapsed and shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it shrunk into a small shape - but it obviously didn't perform well, and turned itself into a Pomeranian with a panda's tail. But it didn't notice it, and it happily wagged its tail at the sky for several seconds before it reacted, and quickly lay down on the ground, hiding the entire tail under its body.

Tian Yiliang watched silently at the side, and after thinking about it, he swallowed the doubts that were about to come to his mouth, and turned to look at Lando who was walking back.

"Why, have you finished communicating with your almighty Lord?" He asked Lando jokingly, and obviously he had already realized that this was just an excuse made up by Lando.

Unexpectedly, Lando nodded seriously after hearing this.

Tian Yiliang: "......?"

Then he saw Lando walk straight to him, but his expression was more serious than ever.

"Mr. Tian. "Landor said seriously, "Now that things have come to this, I think we need to have a good talk."

"..."

Perhaps infected by Landor's expression, Tian Yiliang, although puzzled, also straightened his face. He even stood up a little straighter: "What to talk about?"

"Let's talk about what happens next." Landor said, "I think you should have realized that it is actually meaningless to just move by teleporting. All the worlds are part of the legend, and we are just moving from one corner of the legend to another."

"It's just a waste of time to struggle with clues related to teleportation. If we want to really master the way to leave this legend, we must come up with another way of thinking."

"..."

Landor said seriously, but Tian Yiliang looked at him with a little weirdness: "...Why did you suddenly think of asking this? "

Because this is the key point now." Lando continued seriously, "You don't really think that spreading the word is beneficial to mankind?"

"...I didn't say that." Tian Yiliang looked at Lando again and spoke carefully, "I'm just surprised that you jumped to this level so quickly."

"..." Lando seemed to choke, and his expression was a little strange. After a while, he said, "It feels like a long time since we last met..."

Tian Yiliang: "?" Huh?

"Oh no, it's a saying that when you've been away for three days, you should look at each other with new eyes." Landor paused, quickly corrected, and then regained his serious face, "And we haven't seen each other for at least three minutes."

"After such a long time, even if some changes occur, it's reasonable."

Tian Yiliang: ...

"Hiss, okay. You're right." He closed his eyes and let out a breath. He really gave up on this question. "As for what you said about leaving the train of thought... Sorry, I really didn't."

Reaching out to pull down his sunglasses a little, he looked at Landor through the top of the sunglasses, and his eyes were once again scrutinized: "To be honest, I thought you had it."

This is the truth. He really thought that the demolition office came prepared, but this preparation was not in Landor's mind.

Landor was stunned again after hearing this. But soon, he spoke softly:

"Yes...indeed there is. But that method is only applicable to our demolition office.

" "If there are other living people in this ghost story area, we can't help them leave. In a sense, this is also the reason why we came here."

"Living people?" Tian Yiliang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Then he sneered softly.

"If you are worried about this, you can put your mind at ease for now." Tian Yiliang said, "In the entire ghost story area, I am probably the only living person who can be considered alive at present - oh yes, if your colleague is also a living person, then there are two of them."

"And since I dare to come in, I must have my own preparations. You don't need to worry about it."

"?" "Landuo looked over strangely, "but what if someone accidentally walks in..."

"Normal humans won't walk in accidentally. No one has walked in accidentally for a long time." Tian Yiliang said, "So, just take care of yourselves."

...?

He said this firmly, and Landuo frowned slightly when he heard it.

——Xu Ming, who was far away in the B&B, also jumped up and sat up from the bed.

Lu Yueling went out again at this time, and Xu Ming was the only one in the room. She held the small bell given by Landuo tightly in her left hand, and the answer she just heard through Landuo's ears kept repeating in her mind, and her expression became more and more solemn.

...There are no living people.

Tian Yiliang said this with great certainty, and it was obvious that he had mastered the relevant information. On the other hand, his words further proved Xu Ming's previous guess - whether

it was Da Guo or Bonnie. To put it boldly, in this weird area, except for them, all the people with the name "Guo Shuyi"...

have long been dead.

In the words of those in the industry, they are "dandelions" - the kind of people who have been dead for a long time but don't know that they are dead.

No, that's not accurate. From another perspective, they seem to be Hu Yang. After all, the information in the mutual aid box was indeed shared by them with the idea of ​​helping each other...

I just don't know, do all the dead people correspond to a monster staying somewhere else, or only some of them? How did this phenomenon come about? What does this weird domain lord want to do, and why is Guo Shuyi involved...

Xu Ming's brain turned quickly. In order to save energy, she lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and let her thoughts sink down again, all the way to another person's consciousness -

"Mr. Tian." She spoke again in Lando's mind, trying to speak as slowly as possible to ensure that Lando could keep up and repeat it correctly, "It has come to this time, do you really think we can still stay out of it? "

…"

This was said inexplicably, but Tian Yiliang's expression froze again.

His eyes followed again.

Xu Ming was sharing Landor's five senses at this moment, and naturally did not miss this slight change in him. Realizing that this was effective, she quickly cheered up and continued:

"I believe you are also very clear about Guo Shuyi's changes. No, maybe you know it better than us.

"The original balance has been broken. If left alone, the situation will only get worse..."

"It's because I knew it would get worse that I came here." Before she finished speaking, she heard Tian Yiliang suddenly speak.

This was the first time he interrupted her - or rather, interrupted Landor.

"But are you so sure that your method will work?" Xu Ming did not pause at all, and asked immediately, "What if not? Have you really thought about the subsequent consequences, risks, and remedies?"

"..."

As soon as the voice fell, Tian Yiliang paused again.

Xu Ming did not miss this further change. While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he led Lando to speak again:

"Mr. Tian, ​​to be honest, we also have our own solution for this strange talk. But to be honest, until we came in, this plan was still being brought out for discussion and revision. Until now, we dare not say that we have a bottom line in our hearts.

"We can't guarantee that our plan will be effective. Because this story is different from other stories, there is no ready-made template to refer to, and everything can only be done by exploration and trial.

"It is very special and very sad. It is a subject that the demolition office attaches great importance to and hopes to handle well.

"In this case, I think it is not a bad thing for both parties to work together and share what they have. Maybe we can improve our own plans... What do you think? "

..." Tian Yiliang did not speak.

He only moved the corners of his lips slightly, and silently pushed his sunglasses back to their original position. He seemed to be lost in long thoughts.

This time, Xu Ming did not speak again. Having said that, she believed that the other party would have his own judgment.

However, Landor, who had been the microphone for her for a long time, was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"So, Director. What exactly does this strange change mean?" "

?" Xu Ming said "hmm" in his mind without any disguise, as if he felt that his question was strange, "How should I know? I just came in. "

Landor: "..."

"Then what is his method...?" He was silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Xu Ming said as a matter of course, "This is my first time meeting him, how would I know." "

...Then our plan..." Landor's tone finally had some vague arcs.

"There will be one in the future." Xu Ming comforted him in his mind, "Of course, whether there will be one specifically depends on how much the gentleman who weeds vigorously is willing to tell us..."

Xu Ming was telling the truth.

She had only been here for a short time, what could she know about this strange talk.

It was nothing more than relying on the situation she figured out herself, plus what she asked from Landor, and saying some ambiguous but powerful words.

"..."

Now, Landor was also silent.

After all, although she was already familiar with Xu Ming's style, at certain times, she really needed to adapt again.

And at this moment, Tian Yiliang on the opposite side seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"I can share intelligence with you." He looked up at Lando, his tone finally becoming a bit serious, "but I have three requests."

"You raise them." Xu Ming said immediately, "We will try our best to meet them."

Tian Yiliang took a deep look at Lando who was speaking, and reached out to push his sunglasses to the top of his head:

"First, some of the content I am going to share with you next can be said to be the internal secrets of our unit. I hope you can agree to keep it confidential and try not to spread it outside. If there is a need to submit a report or something like that in the future, please tell me first. Maybe you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement later."

"Yeah." Lando nodded vigorously under Xu Ming's command, "No problem. I understand this situation. We may have similar needs here, and we will need your cooperation then."

"Okay." Tian Yiliang exhaled and continued, "Then the second one - after this communication, if no better solution can be found, or if I am not satisfied with the result, I will continue to act according to the original plan. I hope that the demolition and relocation office will not interfere."

"Okay, we agree to this." Lando nodded again without hesitation, "Then what about the third one?"

"Third one..."

Tian Yiliang once again looked at Lando deeply.

Then he raised his hand and slapped his eyes.

"It's really weird to see this kid talking like this. Can the unknown comrade from the demolition and relocation office stop using him as a mouthpiece? If possible, I want to communicate with you directly."

Lando, who wanted to nod again out of reflex, said: "Okay..."

Huh? ?
