Because of the upcoming perfume commercial shoot, Ning Xi needs to stay in Los Angeles for a while.
Just taking this opportunity, she has something very important to do...
She is going to visit someone.
midnight.
Ning Xi set off for St. Bernardine, a city near Los Angeles.
Because no one would recognize her in a place like this and there was no need to disguise herself, Ning Xi did not put on any makeup and only changed into a simple and comfortable white T-shirt and jeans.
The city of St. Bernardine has topped the list of the most dangerous cities in the country for five consecutive years. It is home to a large number of low-income people, is located on a major smuggling route, and is the place with the most riots in the country.
Ning Xi paid double the price before the driver agreed to go there, and he only drove to the border between the two cities and didn't dare to go any further. As soon as Ning Xi got out of the car, he immediately drove away.
This place is like an abandoned ruin, mostly low, moldy, dilapidated buildings and abandoned garbage dumps. In the dim streets, dark transactions can be seen everywhere...
However, the entertainment industry here is very developed. Even at late night, it is still very lively, with the sounds of drinking, playing finger-guessing games, and gambling everywhere.
The pedestrians at the street intersections are mostly muscular men with ferocious tattoos, looking ferocious, while the women are dressed in cool and hot clothes with thick Gothic smoky makeup on their faces.
Therefore, when Ning Xi, dressed like a high school student, walked into St. Bernardine in the middle of the night, she was just like a little white rabbit walking among wolves.
On the street, pairs of inquiring eyes with a cold gaze looked at the stranger who suddenly stepped into their territory.
Ning Xi held a lollipop in her mouth and wore headphones in her ears, walking through the streets leisurely and comfortably, as if she was walking on an ordinary street.
Because she looked so nonchalant, as if she was just going home, everyone just looked at her, and no one took the initiative to find fault with her.
After all, anyone who dares to show up in St. Bernardine so late at night, let alone an adult, even a child of a few years old cannot be an ordinary person. There is most likely a powerful force behind him, and anyone with a little bit of common sense would not go there to seek death.
After passing through a slum where all kinds of people lived together, the view gradually widened and we were approaching the city not far away. The closer we got to the center, the more prosperous it became.
That is where the uppermost class of Saint Bernardines lived.
After a year, not much had changed here. Ning Xi followed her memory and walked to the door of a small stand-alone building with ease.
This small building is surrounded by dense forests and looks eerie, a bit like a witch's castle in a fairy tale world.
The small building was dark and without any lights on. Was he asleep? Or was the owner away
Ning Xi pushed open the courtyard gate and walked to the door of the small building. She pressed the doorbell. The sound of the doorbell seemed unusually abrupt in the empty night.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
I pressed it twice more, but it was quiet inside and still no one opened the door.
Ning Xi scratched her head, glanced at the row of flower pots under the window sill at the door, counted to the third pot, and then fished out a bunch of keys from under the pot.
Hey... this level of hiding the key... really hasn't changed for thousands of years...
After getting the key, Ning Xi opened the door and walked into the house.
I fumbled to turn on the light in the house and looked around upstairs and downstairs, but sure enough, he was not at home.
Ning Xi glanced at the time on her phone, then sat down on the sofa in the living room downstairs, deciding to just wait here for her master to come back.
