April 10, the second day after the bloody night ended.
Dong Zheng and Linhai took the tickets and arrived at the station in the Xinren area.
It is like the oldest railway station in a remote town. The layout of the station is very simple. There are several low-rise huts on both sides of a railway. Original wood color.
The ticket inspector was sleeping in the guard box, Dong Zheng knocked on the window, it raised its head, only one huge eye grew on its pink face.
"We're going to District XII." Dong Zheng handed the two people's tickets to it.
The ticket inspector yawned, showing the four rows of serrated teeth in the mouth, stamping Dong Zheng's and Linhai's tickets, and handing them back to the two: "No. 3, you can go up when the train arrives."
Dong Zheng thanked it politely, and found the No. 3 stop sign without much effort. The two stood behind the landmark, each carrying a modest backpack with all the luggage in it.
Apart from them, the entire station was empty and quiet with no other passengers.
Victor opened the zipper, stuck his head out of Dong Linhai's bag, shook his ears, Linhai gently pressed Victor with his backhand, and whispered, "Uncle, hold on for a while, it will be bad if you are found out. already."
"I just want to breathe." Victor retracted obediently.
For the summoned beast, if you want to get on the car, you must be in a recalled state, and you cannot appear in the car during the entire journey, but here is the problem. Victor became Dong Linhai's summoned beast, and he did not use the normal method at all. Not sure how to get Victor back.
In the prisoner space, Cui Zuojing clearly saw what Dong Zheng saw, and explained: [The ticket inspectors at the station are all selected by the queen, and each one has absolute tyrannical strength. Don't try to fight with them. Hit hard. The novice area needs a little water, but in other areas, it is not enough to have a ticket, and you must pass the test of the ticket inspector before you are allowed to get on the bus.]
The two brothers waited for less than five minutes when they heard the sound of the train entering the station. After a melodious whistle, the train slowly stopped in front of them.
The door opened, Dong Zheng and Linhai went out, and there was no one in the car, so they found a place to sit down at will.
When they were seated firmly, the door slowly closed, and with another whistle, the train started. Dong Zheng looked out the window at the scene of the station that was gradually moving back, and took a good look at the carriage they were in.
Just like the most old-fashioned trains, two rows of seats facing each other share a small table, the windows are pulled down, and a car can seat about a hundred people.
Dong Linhai was very excited. He sat opposite Dong Zheng and kept looking out the window. The train had already mentioned a steady speed. It passed over the bridge and could see the tube building where they once lived in the distance.
Victor jumped out of his schoolbag, stood on the table, and carefully licked and ironed all the hair on his body.
Cui Zuojing appeared next to Dong Zheng and said, "The whole journey will take about four hours, and you will pass through the space-time rift in the middle. Don't look outside casually, close your eyes and rest."
Half an hour later, the train drove out of the city boundary, as if entering a tunnel, and the outside suddenly became pitch black. Only the fluorescent lights inside the carriage showed people's appearances on the windows.
Dong Zheng followed Cui Zuojing's suggestion, closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Linhai lay down directly on the row of chairs, covered with clothes, and soon he let out a steady breathing sound after falling asleep.
Cui Zuojing held Victor in his arms.
This is the seventh day since his return.
In the past seven days, he found a reliable helper, and his strength gradually recovered, and he went to Area XII.
It's a good start.
When Dong Zheng woke up, the train had stopped at the station.
The soft spring light from outside the window came in and sprinkled on the ends of Cui Zuojing's hair and Linhai's face, who was dozing on the table. Victor curled up on the teenager's legs.
Dong Zheng stood up and lightly patted Cui Zuojing on the shoulder: "It's time to stop. Linhai, don't sleep."
Dong Linhai fell asleep and got off the train behind Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing. As soon as he came out, the door closed behind him and the train drove to the next destination.
The station in District Ⅻ is much more formal than the novice area, and there are many people coming and going. Cui Zuojing led the team at the front, walked through the corridor, pointed to the work window on the side and said to Dong Zheng: "Go over there and apply for accommodation first. , remember to pick a better place."
Linhai followed Dong Zheng, and Cui Zuojing waited in place with Victor in his arms.
"Mr. Cui Zuojing."
Suddenly someone was calling his name, and Cui Zuojing was stunned. At present, there are very few people who know his real name in the entire pure white world.
He raised his head, there was a golden birdcage hanging on the street sign above his head, the bird with gorgeous feathers was standing on the crossbar, the small black bean-like eyes stared at him, and said crisply: "Mr. Cui Zuojing, it's you Is it? Here is your letter."
"It's me." Cui Zuojing asked, "Who is the sender?"
"The signature is Silver Fox, do you want to receive it?"
Hearing this name, Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, and Victor, who was lazy, immediately opened his eyes wide, the vertical pupils in the amber eyes were dark, and suddenly jumped to Cui Zuojing's shoulder.
Omg. Cui Zuojing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Accept."
The bird picked up the letter in the corner of the cage and shoved it out of the gap. Cui Zuojing caught the flying white envelope, used a playing card to cut open the lacquer seal with the teacup printed on it, and poured out a key from it.
"That's great." Cui Zuojing threw the envelope into the trash, smiling and looking at Victor.
On the other hand, Dong Zheng applied for a house for three people - he included Allen.
Dong Zheng came back and asked Cui Zuojing: "It's done, is there anything else to do? I've sent a message to Allen, and he'll be there in about half an hour."
"No, wait for Alan." Cui Zuojing spread out his palm, showed him the key, and couldn't help but said, "I just received good news. If we're lucky, we don't even need to apply for a residence."
The style of the key is quite ordinary, the kind that matches the five-dollar lock on the market. Dong Zheng didn't see any way and asked, "What?"
"You'll know in a while."
Dong Zheng no longer asked, the three and one cat waited in the lounge of the station for more than 20 minutes, and heard the sound of the whistle on the other side of the track. After a while, dazzling red hair appeared among the crowd.
Dong Linhai stood up and shouted to Wang Ailun who was looking around: "Here!"
Alan walked over quickly, his face full of joy, he let go of the travel bag and dropped it on the ground, gave the three of them a rather warm hug one by one, and finally touched Victor's back, excitedly said: "Great, Everyone is here."
"Okay, everyone is here now, come with me." Cui Zuojing was eager to try, he couldn't wait to turn around, and walked quickly towards the staff lounge at the end of the corridor with the "stop for tourists" sign.
Ellen: "Eh? What are you doing?"
Dong Linhai shrugged: "I don't know."
Cui Zuojing stood in front of the closed door and compared the key in his hand with the door lock that obviously did not match it.
Dong Linhai: "Wait, can this door be opened?"
Before he finished speaking, the shape of the key changed in front of their ten pairs of eyes, and Cui Zuojing inserted it smoothly.
Dong Linhai: =mouth=!
Cui Zuojing twisted the door lock, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to everyone. Behind the door was a bottomless darkness.
"go in."
Allen: "Not little brother, are you sure you can enter this place?"
Dong Linhai: "Yeah, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good place—ah!"
Dong Linhai was kicked into the door, and his figure disappeared in the darkness in an instant. Cui Zuojing retracted his foot, and threw him in the back with the screaming Aaron.
He clapped his hands, turned his head to look at Dong Zheng, and raised his eyebrows, as if asking whether to let him do it or take the initiative to go in
Dong Zheng sighed and took the initiative to walk into the door.
Cui Zuojing and Victor followed closely and took the door.
The next moment, the lounge was pushed away from the inside, and the staff in cleaning clothes came out yawning and found nothing unusual.
"what!"
Dong Linhai fell out of the door and knelt on the ground uncontrollably. The young man put his hands on the ground and angrily scolded "grass" as a vent for Cui Zuojing's surprise attack.
A pair of shoes appeared in his sight, Lin Hai was stunned, and slowly raised his head.
The young man with black hair and black eyes stood in front of him expressionlessly, holding two books in his hands. He looked down at Linhai, with a pale tear mole under each eye, just like two dangling tears.
Around his waist, there is a black hole flute.
Dong Linhai's brain went down on the spot. The Pied Piper, the mouse, the lizard, everything that happened in Hameln came to his mind again.
"Damn it!" In the next second, he jumped in place, turned his head and was about to run.
As a result, they bumped into Allen who was thrown in, and the two of them screamed while covering their foreheads, and fell to the ground.
As soon as Dong Zheng came in, he saw such a scene, the corners of his lips twitched, and he had nothing to say.
The young man closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to look directly, and placed the book on the left hand side, which was stacked one and a half meters high. Dong Xiao held it in his hand and patted his palm, and said to Dong Zheng, "Are you the one chosen by Ah Zuo?"
He sounds exactly like the Pied Piper in Hameln.
"It should be said that he chose me." Cui Zuojing and Victor came in, he rushed forward in two steps, gave the young man a big hug, and said with joy, "I didn't expect to see you so soon, Fu Zhe, how did you find me?"
Fu Zhe patted Cui Zuojing's back lightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I sensed the fluctuation of your energy for the first time seven days ago, and I knew that you should be back, you have been to the labyrinth of time, I It was then that your location was determined."
Fu Zhe looked down and saw Victor squatting on the ground. After a pause, he said, "Uncle, you are quite cute like this."
Victor said gracefully: "Thank you for the compliment, I think so too."
"Ah, yes, your [goodwill] was taken back by me, and I will return it to you later." Cui Zuojing released his hand and introduced Fu Zhe one by one, "This is Dong Zheng, as the host of the prisoners, his drag Brother Ping, Dong Linhai, and the teammate I picked up on the road, Allen."
Dong Linhai: "Hey! What the hell is the oil bottle! I'm going to be angry!"
Alan: "Wait, what do you call picking up on the road?"
Fu Zhe nodded politely to everyone, and saw that the three of them looked at him with strange eyes, and said, "I guess a piece of my soul is used as the boss of the box, and you have just experienced that box, so you will see it this way now. I?"
"Sorry, I'm just not used to it, don't mind." Dong Zheng took a deep breath and reached out to Fu Zhe, "My name is Dong Zheng, may I ask who you are?"
Fu Zhe and Dong Zheng shook hands and said, "Fu Zhe, I don't know if Azuo has mentioned to you, I am his former teammate, the owner of this ancient castle, the exile, the controller of space power, It is also its prisoner."
