Accompanied by a distant whistle.
Sky Light Dawn.
Bai Zhou suddenly woke up, raised his hands and kicked his legs to stretch, and found the cloak on his body.
"Have I ever put this on before going to bed?"
Bai Zhou was a little confused and looked around.
Finally, I found Miss Ya sitting sideways on Air Conditioner Outdoor Unit, overlooking the city scenery.
...Tinghai City in the morning, Su Xing just came over.
The warm sun is rising, and smoke is rising from the huge chimney in the distance.
This city made of steel is regaining its vitality.
"Morning, Crow."
After saying hello, Bai Zhou cheered up and stood on the edge of the rooftop and began to tidy up.
Put on Gold Wire Black Frame Glasses, tie on the special Silver Necklace and watch, and shake off the dust on the windbreaker with two "swish" sounds.
Bai Zhou is fully armed just to have a hot breakfast.
--There is no way. Without the disguise of the glasses, roadside surveillance would have discovered the location of Bai Zhou.
He didn't want to be Breakfast Stall surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers driving helicopters and mounting cannons while he was eating.
God knows how frightened the uncle who makes the buns will be.
On the Air Conditioner Outdoor Unit next door, the crow glances over from time to time.
She once again felt that this Bai Zhou really should take a look in the mirror.
After putting on the glasses, the collar of the windbreaker stood up.
Human-like and dog-like.
Not bad.
I casually found an unknown stall on the nearby roadside that didn't even have a shop, and Bai Zhou ate the fresh meat dumplings as I wished.
The stall owners are an elderly couple. This kind of stall is the most lively and lively. Bai Zhou used to turn into a cat and get greedy when passing by.
No one can resist a bowl of steamed pork dumplings with translucent oily skin and large fillings and thin skin early in the morning.
The outer skin is fluffy and soft, and the inside is sizzling and oily. The tip of your tongue is numb when you put it in your mouth, as if it is about to melt. The moment the fragrance overflows, you will feel full of happiness.
Pair it with a plate of pickles and have a steaming bowl of clear Xiaomi porridge...
There is a saying among them Evening City--
One bite of steamed buns only contains pickles, even if you give them to a god, they won't change them!
In the past, in Evening City, supplies were scarce and fresh meat could only be given priority for sacrifice.
After the sacrifice, the meat was contaminated with Deceased, and only Black Robe could purify it.
There is a small sacrifice every three days, and one Great Sacrifice, Black Robe every five days. They are very hard-working, and they have to take these sacrifices home for worship every three to five days.
This is also one of their selfless dedication and many favors to Evening City.
As for Ordinary people, they can only eat meat that has been frozen for two or three years and has long since lost its meaty taste.
That's all, Black Robe will be available in limited quantities.
Those low-quality meats often taste very bad when eaten alone, and you can't even taste the fiber.
So people minced these frozen minced meats of unknown origin very finely, mixed a large amount of fat with soy sauce and pepper to make steamed buns.
--This is already the best thing Bai Zhou has ever eaten at Evening City. I can only get some from my neighbor's house during the Chinese New Year.
"Tinghai's buns are better than ours..."
The well-dressed most wanted criminal in the city was sitting at an inconspicuous roadside breakfast stall, eating a delicious meal.
The hot meat juice blooms on the tip of the tongue, the fat and thin meat fillings are elastic, and the aroma is pure and overbearing. Bai Zhou, which is so hot that it sounds "sizzling", shows a satisfied and happy expression, filling his cheeks.
A little choked, Bai Zhou took another mouthful of rice porridge.
The rice porridge below is hot, but the temperature of the rice oil forming a film on top is just right.
The aroma of Xiaomi is mixed with the taste of sauced meat and bun wrapper, sending warmth into the stomach.
Bai Zhou loves to drink porridge, maybe because the character "zhou" is in his name.
But Crow has a different opinion:
"Actually, next time you eat xiaolongbao, you can try the tofu curd."
"Personally, I think it goes better with Xiaomi porridge."
"Tofu brain?"
Bai Zhou blinked.
Tofu is just tofu, and "brain" is...?
If he had just come out of Evening City, he would have thought it was Blue Star Person's horrifying habit.
After all, just like chili fried pork, "chili" and "fried pork" are two separate terms, and tofu curd is also tofu mixed with human brain...
But from the table next door, Bai Zhou saw the appearance of tofu noodle.
It looks very fragrant.
At this time, Ya's solemn question rang in Bai Zhou's ears:
"There are sweet and salty tofu curds, which one do you think you will eat?"
I don't know why, Bai Zhou always felt that when Crow asked this question, his expression was extremely serious, and there was even a faint murderous look in his eyes!
Bai Zhou shuddered, and after thinking for a moment, he asked in reply:
"Why wait until next time?"
"What?" Crow was stunned for a moment.
"Can we order it this time too?"
Bai Zhou looked at the tofu curd eaten by the guests in the distance:
"This tofu puff is just a side dish, right? It doesn't conflict with Xiaomi porridge at all."
Crow: "...?"
Bai Zhou shook his head, turned to look at the boss and shouted:
"Boss, bring me a bowl of tofu puffs!"
"Okay, do you want something salty or sweet?"
Here's the problem again.
And Bai Zhou's answer is:
"Want it spicy!"
Crow: "..."
Tofu brain... is it a dish?
Still a hothead.
There's no time to worry about which one is more "authentic", sweet or salty.
The one who makes a shining appearance is an out-and-out "evil" eater!
Looking at the mysterious man in front of him with a mouthful of Xiaomi porridge and a mouthful of tofu noodles, Ya was speechless for a moment, and finally he could only say in a cold voice:
"... You have a good appetite."
I have a good appetite, Bai Zhou ate three small steamed buns in one go and still wasn't satisfied.
"So, you really don't want to eat?" At the end of the meal, Bai Zhou glanced at Crow sitting beside him.
Yazheng put two black balls of Coffee Beans into his mouth and held them in his mouth.
The rich aroma with a hint of bitterness became more and more obvious on her body.
"You can just eat it yourself."
He glanced at Bai Zhou with disgust at Evil Path Tofu Pudding who had a lot of oily chili peppers in front of him, and said seriously:
"Maintaining the state of existence through the feeding behavior of traditional organic life forms is a manifestation of low-level life forms."
"When you reach a certain level in the future, you will start to avoid this inefficient metabolism."
Haven't finished speaking yet
I heard a "click" sound--
Miss Ya's sharp tiger teeth happened to crush one Coffee Beans.
The smell of burnt food nearby became stronger.
But only Bai Zhou can hear it.
After breakfast, Bai Zhou, who was full and warm all over, stood up from the pony in front of the broken wooden table.
I walked to the roadside, looked at the sanitation workers passing by, and breathed in the fresh air on the street in the early morning...
Bai Zhou felt the long-lost happiness and good mood.
Sure enough, people cannot live without eating.
In this regard, he could never empathize with someone who only ate black beans.
For Bai Zhou, the enjoyment of eating is not only necessary to maintain life, but also a necessary means to "coax yourself".
Life is already bitter enough. If you can't eat something sweet, or some satisfying food such as oil, salty, spicy, sour, etc., Bai Zhou will simply be hopeless.
At this time, if he is allowed to chew those bitter "black beans" again...
He really wanted to jump off the rooftop last night!
... But unfortunately, Bai Zhou's good mood could not last long.
Because being full means the time to take a break from your busy schedule is over.
Just like Adventurers, though there will be good times roasting chicken and making mushroom soup stew in the jungle...
But as soon as the rest is over, we have to hit the road again and embark on the road to find the devil again.
Tinghai City Yuanmeng Middle School...
It is currently the only clue in Bai Zhou's hands that may point to the Major industry chain.
So, Adventurer Bai Zhou who recovered from his injuries--
Embark on an adventurous journey again.
Transformed into a Black Cat, Bai Zhou and went on the road "alone".
Miss Ya naturally has no interest in small things like exploring the school.
She just yawned, and after a while, a black ribbon bow appeared on Black Cat's head again.
Bai Zhou Just woke up, Crow fell asleep.
The rest time of the two people was cleverly staggered, as if they were actually separated by distant mountains, seas and even time zones.
But coincidentally, they both entrusted each other with their weakest and undefended moments...
"Da da..."
With footsteps ticking, Black Cat groped along and crossed several streets.
Finally, an hour later, he followed the map of the bus station and found the real Yuanmeng Middle School.
Completely different from the one at the Reflection Ruins Realm--
What appeared in front of Bai Zhou was a magnificent campus.
Even in a busy and crowded area, it occupies a large area of land. The shabby iron door of the Reflection Ruins Realm has become a shiny alloy gate here.
Just by taking a cursory look inside, you can see a series of Bell Tower-style Western-style buildings. The solemn little red building is brightly colored and attracts attention.
... So the Yuanmeng Middle School in the Reflection Ruins Realm must look like the Yuanmeng Middle School from how many years ago?
Black Cat, who was passing by, was thinking while he climbed over the wall with great skill and skillfully sneaked into the campus.
Although the gate is closed.
--But what is the road?
Walking on the green belt on the edge of the fence, Black Cat shook his head.
--Actually, there is no road in the world. If cats walk too much, they become roads.
Sneaking all the way deep into the campus, Bai Zhou began his investigation of the campus.
Since school started not long ago, students can still be seen in the school doing military training.
Students wearing military training uniforms and glasses are practicing in a stylish manner Military Boxing.
One, two, three, four, hum hum ha ha.
Seeing the energetic and youthful figures of the children...Bai Zhou recalled his lost youth in Evening City.
Forget it... it's better not to miss it.
Youth Training Corps, established by Black Robe, believes in the rules of Law of the Jungle.
Bai Zhou was not the chief of Youth Training Corps in the beginning.
I just suffered a lot of bullying, so in order to protect myself, I kept fighting back and fighting back...
When there are more people who provoke it, Bai Zhou becomes the new King of Children.
Later, King of Children became the chief of Youth Training Corps.
That period of youth where fists were thrown to the ground was not a glorious history worth remembering.
In comparison.
Here, everyone at Tinghai completely conforms to all Bai Zhou's imagination of immature youth.
At this time.
A scream suddenly sounded from a distance--
"Yeah! There's a mouse! A mouse!"
Several Maiden in military training uniforms passed by together, pointing at the mounds of soil covered with Fallen Leaves and weeds beside the wall and shouting.
Bai Zhou, who was passing by, turned his head and took a look curiously.
"What's surprising? This isn't a classroom."
A baby-faced Military Training Uniform Girl wearing round glasses stood up in time and calmed everyone down.
"Class Monitor Xiao Fang, what is that little mouse doing?"
A girl timidly pointed to the little mouse and asked with fear and curiosity,
The dark rat was using its claws to stir up the wind, turning like a wheel, and was digging wildly at the edge of the wall.
It looked like it was digging a hole, but this stupid mouse obviously dug in the wrong place and scraped Steel Rebar concrete for a long time.
"First of all, it's definitely not a workout."
Raising his hand to push up his big round glasses, the baby-faced squad leader with immature features analyzed seriously,
"It probably wants to get out."
"Perhaps it has dug its way out somewhere before, so now it also thinks it can get out again in the same way."
"The stupid mouse doesn't know that all his efforts are in vain in the eyes of humans."
"--Just like we always think that if we work hard, we will succeed."
The students who heard this said, "...?"
Bai Zhou, who was listening not far away. "...?"
What about youth, passion, and expectations for the future?
You Blue Star junior high school students...
Are they all so "precocious"?
Where does this baby face with glasses come from Poison Chicken Soup Mentor?
Which teacher asked her to be the monitor?
--Didn't you see that the classmates around her suddenly became sighing and heavy-hearted?
... I don't know if it's Bai Zhou's illusion.
He suddenly felt that this serious-looking baby face and delicate facial features seemed familiar.
It seems like I have seen it somewhere.
Yes...
Is it Hiccuping Little Fire Dragon?
Bai Zhou blinked.
... No way?
Although his personality is completely different, this person does seem to be somewhat similar to Fang Xiaoxia in facial features.
Is it an illusion?
What did the other students call her just now?
...Class Monitor Xiao Fang?
Suddenly.
"Class Monitor Xiao Fang" noticed Bai Zhou squatting on the roadside.
The smart Black Cat, who wears a bow on his head, is definitely a rare creature that is rarely refreshed in a boring campus.
His eyes immediately shined brightly, and Maiden, with an inscrutable expression on his face, suddenly lost all his maturity, shouted, and flew towards Bai Zhou.
"Mao Mao! It's Mao Mao!"
"Mao Mao, don't run away, come and have some fun with your sisters!"
Bai Zhou:"?"
Shivering, Bai Zhou was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Checked the look...
This perverted attitude towards cats on the roadside is indeed very similar to "that old friend".
They are relatives of course.
"..."
Run left and right, speeding all the way.
After spending a long time, Bai Zhou finally got rid of the girls' frenzied pursuit.
The dark bow on the head swayed in the wind, and the melancholy Black Cat let out a long sigh.
Too much charm is also a worry.
Not only Class Monitor Xiao Fang, every girl passing by saw Bai Zhou, like an eagle seeing a chick, they swooped in with open arms.
It's really scary.
Are these people depressed? It's like they've never seen a cat before...
Otherwise, it is the "Life-Stealing Spirit Cat" attribute of Bai Zhou and the "heart-stealing" Charm Demon attribute.
But the latter is definitely impossible. At least Bai Zhou has not seen Crow, who always has a cold face, and has been affected by it in any way.
"Shasha..."
Bai Zhou emerged from the bushes and looked at the quiet surroundings.
He jogged all the way, not knowing where he ended up.
This should be a very inconspicuous corner of the campus, and no one has passed by it for a long time.
Next to it is a public toilet, and from time to time there is a loud sound of running water automatically flushing past.
"Is this...?"
Bai Zhou suddenly stopped and turned to look at the entrance of the public toilet.
The thick strip-shaped plastic door curtain hanging at the entrance "sags" in the breeze, and its dim yellow color looks like it is covered with stains.
Just now, when passing by the entrance of the public toilet--
Bai Zhou's spirituality jumped slightly.
This is the prerogative of Level 2 Extraordinary.
Extraordinaries who have mastered "Mind Power" can not only sense life and death crises through spirituality, but also provide guidance for certain things they are pursuing through "intuition".
This public toilet...
Maybe a little unusual.
Frowning, Bai Zhou cautiously walked around the public toilet to inspect it.
No abnormalities were found.
It seems that we can only go in and take a look...
Cautious Black Cat walked through the door curtain and stuck his head out at the entrance.
The empty public toilets are densely covered with reflective white tiles.
Every pit was empty, no one was there.
The wind blew in, and an unpleasant smell hit my nose, almost making me suffocate.
At first, Bai Zhou thought it was a smell common in public toilets.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
He has also squatted in Evening City's dry toilet, but it doesn't have such a bad smell.
Compared to the sharp and pungent smell of feces.
The faint smell coming from here is more like a putrid, disgusting sour smell.
It's very light, but quite uncomfortable.
People will immediately feel disgusted, instinctively want to stay away, and may even feel uneasy because of this smell.
Is...?
Bai Zhou frowned and stood quietly at the entrance, with alert green eyes, quietly looking at the environment in the public toilet.
Suddenly.
A "wow" sound--
The rushing water automatically rushed through again, rolling up the waves, and the huge echo continued to echo in the empty public toilet.
And in the reverberation of the running water, Bai Zhou's alert ears suddenly caught the vagueness...
Female cry.
"Where did the crying come from?"
Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, then held his breath and took two steps back. Only a pair of vertical pupils were exposed at the door, and he followed the sound and looked carefully.
The sound came from behind the door panel of the innermost stall of the public toilet.
The door was closed tightly, as if there was someone inside.
But the space under the door panel was clearly empty.
But Bai Zhou suddenly trembled, and his heart slowed down for half a beat.
Because, in the gap under the door, he saw the blood stained with water and slowly overflowing.
That's...
It was "Last Will" left by someone!
Scarlet Blood Script can only be seen by Bai Zhou.
After carefully distinguishing and seeing the content on "Last Will", Bai Zhou immediately became energetic.
Perhaps, he came to Yuanmeng Middle School to find clues...
Right here!
Because "Last Will" is clearly written densely on it:
[Save... save... me...]
[No, still don't save me--]
[I don't deserve to live!]
