It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.
This is the common thought of Liu Xing and the other three. After all, the reason for the abandonment of Panlong Town Junior High School must be different from what Zhang Jingxu said, and it is most likely related to mythical creatures.
Even now, mythical creatures still occupy Panlong Town Junior High School.
So Liu Xing and his party decided to leave here and go back first.
As a result, Liu Xing and others left Panlong Town Junior High School, but after walking a few steps, Liu Xing noticed that there were many children's voices coming from a store on the street, and there were also some games mixed in. From the sound effects, it seems that this store is what Hu Cang calls a black Internet cafe.
"The owner of this black Internet cafe is quite business-minded. He actually knew to open the black Internet cafe directly next to the junior high school." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
Ishikawa Ling shrugged and said: "I think in the case of Panlong Town, it doesn't matter where the black Internet cafe is opened. After all, Panlong Town is only so big, but having said that, this street is quite deserted. .”
Liu Xing nodded. The street where the black Internet cafe is located is backed by the Panlong River, and they are all ordinary one-story private houses. Except for the black Internet cafe with a small door open, there is only one other private house. The shop selling scented wax money paper is open for business, but the others are closed.
Therefore, this street does look a little deserted.
"Let's go and see if we can go into the black Internet cafe. Although there is no Internet connection in this black Internet cafe, we can still play stand-alone games to kill some time." Liu Xing suggested.
Of course, the reason why Liu Xing wanted to enter the black Internet cafe was definitely not for fun, but because he wanted to obtain information from the students in the black Internet cafe. After all, children are easy to be bribed, and their tone is definitely not as strict as adults.
Zhang Jingxu and Shi Chuanling both understood what Liu Xing meant, so they directly agreed to Liu Xing's idea, so the three of Liu Xing entered this black Internet cafe together.
When Liu Xing and the other three entered this black Internet cafe, they attracted the attention of everyone in the black Internet cafe. After all, most of the people in this black Internet cafe were students, so they were worried that their family members would come here to catch them. If If they are caught, they will definitely get a beating, so these students will become trembling when they hear any disturbance.
However, when these students saw that Liu Xing and the others were unknown people, they stopped paying attention to the Liu Xings and continued to play the game at hand, or watch others playing games.
Liu Xing glanced around the Internet cafe. After all, this black Internet cafe was only about thirty or forty square meters. It was divided into two parts by the boss. One half was used as an arcade and the other half was used as a computer area.
The arcade machines in this black Internet cafe are very nostalgic. Seven or eight arcade machines are lined up. The games are all classic games such as Dinosaur Kombat, King of Fighters 97, and Journey to the West. There are people standing next to each arcade machine. .
As for the configuration of the computer area, Liu Xing thinks it is a bit miserable, because the computers are all big-head computers from ten years ago. Liu Xing estimates that these computers are still running the indos98 system, and there are only five of them in total. , the chairs are all plastic stools.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that being called a black Internet cafe was a bit overwhelming, so it was better to call it this place.
Perhaps because the cost of computer games is higher than that of arcade machines, there are no machines available in the computer area at this time.
At this time, a short and fat middle-aged woman came over and said something with a smile.
After Zhang Jingxu had a conversation with the middle-aged woman, he took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman, and then took Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling to the arcade area and sat down.
"The computer configuration of this dark Internet cafe is not good, and the charges are quite outrageous. It costs three yuan an hour, which is much more expensive than the dark Internet cafes near me when I was a child." Zhang Jingxu complained.
Liu Xing nodded sympathetically, and couldn't help but remember that when he was in elementary school, the black Internet cafe downstairs cost one yuan an hour, and the configuration was much better than here.
However, this amount of money is nothing to Liu Xing and others. After all, as a Taoist priest, "Zhang Jingxu" is definitely not short of money, and he can earn tens of thousands of yuan from just a single business; and as the leader of the secret church, "Watanabe Ryusei" He is a rich man, and the total cash in his real estate is worth tens of millions; even the poorest of the three, "Ishikawa Ling", can call himself a rich kid in Panlong Town because of the gap in consumption levels between China and the island country. .
However, what makes Liu Xing feel regretful is that although "Watanabe Ryusei" is considered to have a fortune, because some of the property is really shady, the credit attribute value of the character card "Watanabe Ryusei" is not as high as it actually is.
The familiar yet unfamiliar computer startup sound sounded. Just as Liu Xing thought before, the network connection failed.
"Because there is no signal, we can only play arcade games now." Zhang Jingxu said helplessly.
Ever since, Liu Xing and others started playing CS, one of the most classic stand-alone games in Internet cafes.
Soon, a lot of onlookers gathered behind the three Liu Xings.
The fish is hooked.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Jingxu turned around and started chatting with a child standing next to him.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Jingxu stood up and gave his seat to the child. The child couldn't wait to sit down and started playing happily.
Then Zhang Jingxu said a few more words, and the children around him raised their hands and shouted something. However, after Zhang Jingxu said another sentence, the children put down their hands and looked at each other.
It seems that Zhang Jingxu has got to the point.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Jingxu asked KP Xuefeng for a quick chat.
Zhang Jingxu, 33/50, successful.
Good luck.
Ever since, after Zhang Jingxu said a few more words, two children said something, and then Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling voluntarily gave up their seats.
"Let's go, we got the information." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
After Liu Xing and the others left the black Internet cafe, Zhang Jingxu said happily: "Hey, it's true that these kids are lax. I just gave them some benefits and they took the bait. It seems that we don't need to risk our lives to find that addict." Got information."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised and said: "What, Zhang Jingxu, did you ask those children about the black dragon?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just about the black dragon. I also found out about the reason why Panlong Town Junior High School was deserted. The children in primary school are all Internet addicts. This The first class in the afternoon is about to end, and they don’t know how to go to school yet. You can see how tempting this black Internet cafe is to them. So just now when I was waiting for them to come around, I used to play casually today. Use the three computers as bargaining chips to ask them for information."
"At the beginning, I asked a casual question about Panlong Town, which was why this street was so deserted. The kid standing next to me told me that this street is the oldest street in Panlong Town. The conditions are very poor. Except for some elderly people who still live in these bungalows, other people have moved to other streets, so this street has become deserted.”
"Then I asked the next question, which was why Panlong Town Junior High School was abandoned. At the beginning, these children were still hesitant and refused to tell the truth, so I took a step forward and retreated. He said that if they didn't tell us, we could ask Hu Cang or Xiao Mochen at worst, so those children told the truth. It turns out that Panlong Town Junior High School could recruit fewer students every year. Two years ago, Basically, we can only put together one class, and it’s a class with no more than forty people.”
"You should also know, Meteor Classmates, that the game of "Invite the Die Fairy" is very popular in Asia, so two years ago, the boarding students among the first-year junior high school students who had just entered the school, and some general school students were bored, so they made an appointment at night Let’s play the Die Xian game together. After all, the management of Panlong Town Junior High School is not strict. Although there are teachers on night duty, the teachers in charge of night duty will basically skip class and leave after giving a few words to the students who live on campus."
"As for the janitor in charge of the night watch, he would go to bed at 8 or 9 o'clock as long as he drank some wine, and then sleep until dawn. So that day, the students crowdfunded and bought a janitor for him. A bottle of wine, and at ten o'clock, the first-year students gathered on the playground to play Die Xian, while the boarding students of other ages thought they were fooling around, so they ignored them."
"As for the next plot, Meteor students, you should be able to guess that these students who wanted to die actually summoned the Die Immortal, and then failed to send the Die Immortal away due to an operation error, so the Die Immortal directly sent those beginners The first grade students were driven crazy, and then these first grade students began to kill each other, and also attacked the second and third grade students. So in this night, the entire Panlong Town junior high school students died and were injured. injuries, and some students were sent to a mental hospital in Chengdu for treatment."
"Therefore, there are no students in Panlong Town Junior High School. In addition, nearby residents responded that they could hear scary sounds coming from Panlong Town Junior High School in the middle of the night and could also see misty ghosts, so there were no parents anymore. They were willing to send their children to Panlong Town Junior High School, so Panlong Town Junior High School was abandoned, and Panlong Town Junior High School also became one of the three forbidden areas in Panlong Town.”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Panlong Town Junior High School would be related to Die Xian.
But what worries Liu Xing even more is that Zhang Jingxu mentioned that Panlong Town Junior High School is only one of the three forbidden areas in Panlong Town. So besides the bamboo forest, where is the other forbidden area?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly asked: "Zhang Jingxu, please don't sell it. The last forbidden area in Panlong Town should be related to the black dragon."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the last forbidden area in Panlong Town is the lair of the black dragon. However, it needs to be stated in advance. In the eyes of the people of Panlong Town, the black dragon is The patron saint of Panlong Town, because this involves a Chinese folklore. Although most dragons are responsible for disasters, some dragons want to ascend and become real dragons. Therefore, these dragons must accumulate good deeds in order to become successful. Maybe the ascension will be successful.”
"That's why the black dragon is like this. It has always lived at the bottom of the Panlong Town Reservoir. You can enter the black dragon's lair through a small cave, which is called the Black Dragon Cave by the people of Panlong Town. As long as you bring a sacrificial offering If you enter the Black Dragon Cave and make a reasonable request to the black dragon, then the black dragon will choose to help you fulfill the request. However, if your request is really unreasonable, then the black dragon will Choose to refuse, and you will not be able to enter the Black Dragon Cave from now on."
"So for so many years, the black dragon has been blessing Panlong Town with good weather and has helped the residents of Panlong Town do a lot of things. Therefore, every household in Panlong Town has a black dragon tablet enshrined. However, because in a few years During that special day ten years ago, feudal superstitions were being eradicated everywhere. Therefore, in order to protect the black dragon from being disturbed, the residents of Panlong Town swore together that they would never destroy that black dragon. We told outsiders about the black dragon, so both Hu Cang and Xiao Mochen kept silent about us."
Liu Xing suddenly realized that he had indeed heard some myths and legends about the ascension of dragons in reality. In these myths and legends, those dragons who want to ascend must do enough good deeds and obtain recognition and blessings from humans. After successfully ascending, I didn't expect that this module would actually involve this myth and legend, or that the entire module involves many myths, legends and folk supernatural stories.
By analogy, Liu Xing estimated that Panlong Town Primary School might involve mythical creatures such as zombies, because after the founding of New China, many new schools were built in cemeteries or even mass graves. Firstly, for the convenience of students, these newly built schools must have been built near residential areas, that is, the suburbs of cities and towns at that time. In the past, the main function of the suburbs of cities and towns was to serve as cemeteries, making it convenient for urban residents to go to school nearby. to worship ancestors; secondly, burial is popular in China, so anyone with some financial means will prepare a coffin for themselves (to be honest, the author's coffin has been prepared and placed in the room where he used to live in his hometown) ), so the school took the meaning of "coffin, official", hoping that students can become officials and talents.
This also reminded Liu Xing that the high school he once attended was built on a cemetery. When the science and technology building was being built, several coffins were dug out. After changing classrooms in the second year of high school, you could see a piece of coffin when you turned around. tombstone. . .
