Melted City

Chapter 19

Views:

The tunnel is not too long, and there are still noisy voices coming from both sides, some are scolding, some are arguing, some are trading, and some are laughing happily.

Ning Gu just stood at the door of the hut where there was no trace of red light, staring at Lian Chuan who was lying on the ground.

He is not a person who is not righteous. Although Lian Chuan and him basically belong to the tragic relationship between killing and being able to be killed, his inexplicable dreams and hallucinations made him sure that he could get important information from Lian Chuan, so he rushed forward. At this point, he should still be rescued.

There are only three questions now. Is Lian Chuan dead? Of course, I don’t care if he is dead. How to judge whether it is safe and how to save him. Should he drag the person out with a mop, or go in and slap him on the face... This is a trick in a ghost town. Basic rescue operations.

"Lian Chuan." He called again outside the door.

Lian Chuan lay there motionless, without any reaction.

It feels like even if you are not dead, if this state continues, you will be dead.

After being frozen for a few seconds, Ning Gu kicked hard on the cave wall next to him: "Hey!"

Then he rushed into the house, grabbed Lian Chuan by the collar, and was about to drag him out when he felt a sharp tingling pain from his fingers.

The pain that spread across half of the body in an instant was no less than the two shots shot by Lian Chuan in the street.

Ning Gu was in so much pain that he almost fell to the ground.

This should be something on the hyena's uniform.

Gritting his teeth for two seconds, he was so angry that he jumped up and kicked Lian Chuan: "Die hyena!"

It's okay to touch your own clothes, but it's neat to grab other people's clothes!

Suddenly, it seemed that someone had stepped out of the darkness in the innermost part of the hut, bringing with it a slight wind.

Then came a sigh close behind the ear.

Ning Gu didn't know how he did it. He grabbed Lian Chuan's wrist and almost swung Lian Chuan out of the hut. He could even see Lian Chuan's head bumping against the door.

Ning Gu felt a little guilty when he rushed out of the house.

... If Lian Chuan died, he might have been strangled to death by himself.

But the time for guilt was short, and the goosebumps behind his ears from that sigh hadn't faded away. He quickly turned around, and the room was pitch black, and there was no movement.

Out of anger and displeasure, Ning Gu walked back to the door.

"Annoying?" He pointed at the empty darkness, "How about I give you a chance?"

There was no answer in the dark.

"Don't you dare?" Ning Gu nodded, "Then I'll put my words here. You'd better not dare to. It really pissed me off. I'll make your broken underground market never have peace."

Blank.

Lian Chuan didn't move when he regained consciousness. He only knew that his function was normal and his state was safe. He needed to maintain the status quo until he found out the situation.

This is a small room, about the same size as the previous one, but the room is not empty, there is something, which can be heard from the movement of the person in front of him on the left.

Lian Chuan could tell from the peculiar sound of his clothes rubbing against each other that this person was Ning Gu.

Ning Gu's movements can be heard quite relaxed, and there should be no danger.

But just when Lian Chuan was about to open his eyes, another person's footsteps came, and it was a woman who came in from outside.

"Are you awake yet?" A woman's voice asked, who should be around Chunsan's age.

"If you are in a hurry, you can touch it now." Ning Gu replied.

Touch what

"That's so boring," the woman said, "to take advantage of people's sleep."

"Won't it be an advantage if you touch him again after he wakes up?" Ning Gu said.

"Yes." The woman replied with certainty.

What's the mess

Although he felt that his life was not in danger, the conversation between Ning Gu and this woman made Lian Chuan very disturbed, and he opened his eyes.

This is a trading hut, and the position where Lian Chuan lies is in the innermost part of the hut. There are a lot of messy things piled up outside the door and near the door, exuding a strange atmosphere.

Stale, old air.

Ning Gu was sitting on a chair next to him, one leg was bent and stepped on the chair, the other was stretched out, and the toes were still swinging leisurely from side to side.

Ning Gu looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "I'm awake."

This sentence was not addressed to Lian Chuan. Before Lian Chuan could answer, a man so wrapped up that he couldn't see his face suddenly appeared behind Ning Gu: "Let me see."

It's that woman.

Lian Chuan didn't make a sound, and wanted to sit up, but when he moved, he found that his hands and feet were actually chained, and the other end of the chain was planted deeply on the hard ground.

This can't trap him, but if he uses force, it may cause unnecessary confusion.

"Let her touch it." Ning Gu happily shook his toes.

"What?" Lian Chuan was stunned.

"She asked us to hide here," Ning Gu put his arms on the armrest, leaned his head and rested his forehead with his fingers, and said very easily and naturally, "You can just let her touch your face."

Lian Chuan didn't make a sound.

It's not that he doesn't want to make a sound, he just doesn't know what to say.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and he has seen all kinds of dangerous, difficult, dilemmas, and trilemmas. He has solved all kinds of dangerous goals, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

This kind of thing was not dangerous at all, but it was so inexplicable that he couldn't respond.

"You look so pretty." The woman walked up to Lian Chuan.

Then he stretched out his hand, and when he was about to touch his face, Lian Chuan turned his head back, and she missed it.

"It's nice." The woman touched it again.

Lian Chuan avoided it again.

"What's going on!" The woman was very upset, she turned to look at Ning Gu, "It's a deal! If he doesn't let me touch it, I'll go out and find Fu Lu and the others right away!"

"I said you can't touch it." Ning Gu laughed.

"What to do!" said the woman.

"You touch him." Lian Chuan said.

"She just wants to touch the hyena. Travelers can see it every day. It's not rare." Ning Gu narrowed his eyes, still showing a very happy expression.

Lian Chuan's face suddenly turned cold.

Ning Gu stood up, stretched his arms, walked to his side, bent down, and leaned in front of his eyes, whispering: "The bat is looking for the hyena, you have been exposed."

"She can't get out of this door at all." Lian Chuan's voice was cold.

"Do you know nothing but killing people?" Ning Gu asked.

"Yes." Lian Chuan replied.

Ning Gu was stunned, this answer was so sincere that he couldn't recover for a moment.

After a while, he clicked his tongue and turned to look at the woman: "I'll touch it for you."

"What is that?" The woman was very upset.

"Add another hyena hair," Ning Gu said, "No one in Lost Valley can get this thing?"

"Bring it." The woman immediately stretched out her hand. Under the broken skin on her hand were metal knuckles, which were also inlaid with broken glass shining thinly.

"Is this the head office?" Ning Gu turned his head and looked at Lian Chuan again.

Lian Chuan doesn't want to argue with Ning Gu now, he still needs to know how Ning Gu's ability is triggered, whether it is passive or active, and what he saw and felt in his memory that day.

He chose to be patient.

"Don't hide," Ning Gu stretched out his hand and said in a low voice, "I know you move fast."

Lian Chuan didn't move.

Ning Gu patted his head lightly twice, pulled away a hair, and then touched his face.

The moment his fingertips touched his skin, the iron chains tied to Lian Chuan's hands and feet suddenly broke with a bang.

"Don't come here! I'll yell if you do it!" The woman standing next to her was so frightened that she took several steps back. "When I yell, the entire Lost Valley will know that you are here!"

"Killing you won't wait for you to speak out." Ning Gu tilted his head and glanced at her, "Stand over here."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then walked back.

Ning Gu dropped his raised hand and touched Lian Chuan's face, then turned around and stretched out his hand in front of the woman.

The woman slapped him on the hand, pinched the hair away, and carefully put it into a bottle: "I'll find some clothes for him to change into. His uniform is too obvious."

"En." Ning Gu responded.

While the woman was rummaging through the mess beside her, Lian Chuan sat up.

Ning Gu sat back on the chair and looked at him for a while: "Did you do it just now?"

Lian Chuan glanced at him and said nothing.

"Okay, then it's not," Ning Gu pointed to himself, "It's me."

Lian Chuan still didn't speak.

"I'm awesome." Ning Gu poked his face with his finger.

Nothing happens.

He pokes twice more.

The woman threw a few clothes over: "That's all."

"Is there anything to eat?" Ning Gu asked, continuing to poke his face a few more times.

Nothing happened.

Very disappointed.

Lian Chuan took the clothes and looked at them. The clothes were very bat-like, with metal pieces in various unnecessary places.

In this kind of place, it is impossible to request a separate dressing room, and he didn't waste any time on this matter. He got up directly and took off his uniform.

Inside was a set of close-fitting underwear. The woman stared at him with obvious disappointment, but quickly stretched out her hand again: "Give me this uniform as a reward."

Lian Chuan raised his hand and threw the uniform into her hand.

The woman fell to the ground before she could even make a sound.

"Don't be too greedy." Ning Gu looked at her and sighed.

When Lian Chuan put on the bat suit, Ning Gu saw two long black wounds on his arms. Judging from the angle, they should extend from the shoulder blade to the elbow.

"You were injured just now?" Ning Gu couldn't help frowning, "It shouldn't be."

"Old injury." Lian Chuan replied briefly, and put on his coat.

"Old injury? How old?" Ning Gu asked.

Even the travelers don't have old injuries, and the wounds that didn't heal overnight are considered serious injuries. The hyena, the strongest cleanup team in the dignified main city, has a bad injury on his body

Lian Chuan turned around and looked at him, and was silent for a while before speaking: "I have some injuries that won't heal."

Following these words, Ning Gu suddenly became dizzy, and the images flashing before his eyes made him a little out of breath. When the last black shadow came to his face, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or real, he only felt that his stomach was like It was scratched by something sharp, and the excruciating pain made him clutch his stomach and lean against the wall next to him.

When he regained his strength, Lian Chuan had already changed his clothes and put his uniform away in a bag.

"What did you see?" Lian Chuan asked.

Ning Gu looked at him and didn't speak.

"Is it there?" Lian Chuan glanced at his stomach.

"Want to know?" Ning Gu slowly stood up straight, hugging his arms, "What did I see, what did I feel, do you want to know?"

Lian Chuan had no expression on his face.

"You came to catch me, this should be your task." Ning Gu squeezed his chin, glanced at the woman who was still lying on the ground, and said in a low voice, "But you didn't catch me, you just Follow me."

Lian Chuan remained motionless and expressionless.

Ning Gu admits that facing Lian Chuan, a pervert who seems to be calm no matter what the situation is, he has no idea at all, and all speculations cannot be adjusted according to Lian Chuan's reaction, so he can only say a word Say it yourself.

"Ask me this again now," Ning Gu smiled, and leaned into Lian Chuan's ear, "You have secrets that cannot be disclosed to others, and you are not sure what I know, right?"

Lian Chuan didn't dodge, but just turned his head and whispered in his ear: "I'm sure now, first, you can not only see, but also feel it, and second, it will be solved after you die."

"You dare not kill me, your mission must be to capture me alive." Ning Gu's voice was full of pride.

"The injuries I have suffered," Lian Chuan said, "are enough to kill you ten times."

Ning Gu lost his voice, and after a while, he slowly retreated to the wall, and looked at him for a long time before speaking: "I have something very important to do, you help me finish it, and I will tell you."

Lian Chuan looked at him.

"Deal?" Ning Gu asked.

"Deal." Lian Chuan said.

When he walked out of the hut, Ning Gu felt that he was quite able to integrate into the environment of Lost Valley, so he had to find the bat that could help him deal with the identity card as soon as possible, and then leave.

After all, there are a lot of travelers in Lost Valley now. Once the car leaves, it will be a different scene here. It will be difficult for him to avoid the bats who have been staring at him for some reason.

Especially... He looked back at Lian Chuan behind him. Even if this person put on bat clothes, he still couldn't hide the main city temperament on his body. Find Lian Chuan from the pile.

"That woman just now..." Lian Chuan spoke behind him.

"Why do you let her touch you, because I said she can touch me and she won't do it," Ning Gu interrupted him impatiently, "Why do you want to follow her like this and not just kill her, because here is not In our territory, I still have things to do, it’s best not to cause trouble, and most importantly, I found that I can’t completely count on you, you fainted faster than when you hit me.”

"Go." Lian Chuan said.

"I wanted to ask her again where I could find a bat to write data," Ning Gu continued walking, "but it didn't work out."

"What data?" Lian Chuan asked.

"Main city identity card," Ning Gu patted the pocket on his leg, "I'm going to the main city."

"You don't need it." Lian Chuan said.

"Why can't it be used?" Ning Gu turned around.

"You can die here, or you can die in the laboratory," Lian Chuan said, "There is no third way."

Ning Gu stared at him: "Lian Chuan, let me ask you."

Lian Chuan looked at him silently.

"Are you a robot?" Ning Gu frowned, looking him up and down, "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you say this? I saved you anyway, don't you feel uncomfortable when you arrange for me to die?"

Lian Chuan still didn't respond as if he had settled down.

"I'm not going to die." Ning Gu said.
