When Li Da and others got out of the car, they all looked at the city gate in front of them with puzzled expressions.
Looking inside from the door, Liuhuo Avenue was completely dark, which was far beyond the expectations of Li Da and others.
Li Da looked down at the time and frowned in confusion:
"It's only twelve o'clock, why is there no one on Liuhuo Avenue?"
After hearing this, Liu Bing quickly stepped forward and explained:
"Governor, this is a rule set by Liuhuo Avenue. Liuhuo Avenue will not be open to the public after twelve o'clock. All tourists must leave before twelve o'clock."
Thinking about the problem from the perspective of maximizing revenue, Chen Xiao will naturally have different opinions:
“Nowadays, various places are vigorously developing the night market economy, why doesn’t Liuhuo Avenue seize this opportunity?
If Liuhuo Avenue can be opened to the public as a night market at night, it will definitely attract a larger group of tourists and maximize tourism revenue. "
Chen Xiao's words were very professional, but after hearing this, Liu Bing had a strange look on his face.
"Several leaders are unaware that the strange code of Liuhuo Avenue was widely circulated on the Internet some time ago.
Although I don’t know what happened specifically, everyone is talking about the rules of the Road of Flowing Fire and must abide by them.
I think this is why, at just twelve o'clock, not even a single tourist could be seen. "
Zhou Xiangyin on the side nodded thoughtfully:
"I have seen these news, but I always thought they were just rumors on the Internet, but now it seems that it may not be that simple."
Looking at the Avenue of Flowing Fire, Li Da also had great curiosity in his heart.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look.
Going directly to the polling bureau should not be considered a violation of the rules of the Fire Avenue. "
While talking, Li Da walked forward.
After looking at each other, Zhou Xiangyin and Chen Xiao followed, which made Liu Bing hesitate.
"Old Liu, why are you still standing there? The leaders have gone, let's hurry up and follow them, right?"
Gao Ling on the side saw Liu Bing's hesitation and asked in a low voice with some confusion.
In response, Liu Bing sighed softly and said uneasily:
"It's past twelve o'clock now. I think the rules set up by the polling bureau cannot be groundless. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to just go in like this?"
However, Li Da and others actually thought of this, but it was precisely because they had experienced such strange things at the county guard that they became more curious about the polling bureau.
Firstly, they were in large numbers, and secondly, according to Li Da's thoughts, after entering the Flowing Fire Avenue, they went straight to the polling bureau. As long as they didn't wander around, nothing would happen.
At the same time, Li Da and others were also secretly guessing, wanting to see how mysterious this avenue of flowing fire was.
Seeing Li Da and others gradually walking into the city gate, Liu Bing hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed Gao Ling.
Although this made him feel confused, after all, the leaders had already taken the lead, and it was really unreasonable for him to stay outside the city gate and not go in.
In this way, a group of people slowly walked into the Flowing Fire Avenue, and what they encountered were three shops that had long been closed.
The three shop owners went to check with Zhao Xue as usual, and the Flowing Fire Avenue only gave people a gloomy sense of sight at this moment.
The LED light sign with the rules of Liuhuo Avenue flashes red, as if to warn everyone not to go any further.
But at this time, the heavy fog on Flowing Fire Avenue obscured their eyes, so few people did not notice the code sign on Flowing Fire Avenue.
After entering the Flowing Fire Avenue, Li Da and others subconsciously looked for a place with light. According to common sense, that should be the location of the polling bureau.
But what few people expected was that they didn't know whether the polling bureau had closed or the fog was too thick and blocked their sight.
Anyway, looking into the distance, the entire Liuhuo Avenue was pitch black, with no lights at all.
"City Lord Liu, are you sure the polling bureau is set up in the Flowing Fire Avenue?
Why does it seem like the Flowing Fire Avenue is deserted? "
Facing Chen Xiao's inquiry, Liu Bing nodded quickly:
“The last few times I dealt with Director Feng, I always met him at the city gate.
Director Feng has also said many times that the polling bureau is set up in the Avenue of Flowing Fire, and there should be nothing wrong with this. "
"But I have read about the posts about Flowing Fire Avenue before, and now it seems that everything here is similar to what online tourists described.
But as far as I know, there is no mention of the polling bureau in any post. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t happen, right? "
While talking, Chen Xiao took out her mobile phone and wanted to call up the post for Liu Bing to take a look. However, after turning on her mobile phone, she discovered that her mobile phone had no signal.
This made Chen Xiaoxiu frown slightly, and she tried several times with some confusion, but it still didn't work.
At this moment, Chen Xiao, who was lowering his head, heard Zhou Xiangyin beside him suddenly speak:
"Look, there is an open shop with the lights on!"
Several people looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Xiangyin, and the faint light loomed in the white mist, which made them speed up their pace.
Phototaxis is an instinct of human beings. Being in this darkness for a long time always makes some people feel uneasy.
And the looming light source in the white mist in the distance gave a few people the motivation to move forward.
Several people paid special attention to check the rules of the Flowing Fire Avenue, but without lights, the store diagram was a smaller map, so they could only see it clearly with the help of the light of their mobile phones.
There are only three shops on Liuhuo Avenue from beginning to end, but in the direction that the few people are walking in, there are no open shops.
However, all the shops had dark lights and closed doors at this time, so several people were not sure whether this shop was one of the three shops.
This faint light was like a beacon in the darkness, driving several people towards the shop.
Along the way, several people were still looking for the location of the polling bureau, but after walking for so long, except for some closed shops on both sides, no polling bureau was seen.
Finally, Li Da and others soon arrived in front of the only shop with lights on. Liu Bing took the lead and moved forward, wanting to see the shop inside through the glass.
However, I don’t know why, but the glass is so foggy that it’s hard to see clearly, as if there’s a layer of gauze behind the glass.
"Boss? Is there anyone?"
Liu Bing called several times, but there was no response from the store.
This made several people stand at the door, some looking at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
Liu Bing, who couldn't make up his mind for a moment, could only look back at Li Da, obviously waiting for further instructions from Li Da.
Li Da frowned and stepped forward, gently and tentatively turned the door handle, only to find that the door was unlocked and was pushed open with a little force.
The moment the door was pushed open, a cold wind hit the face, and then the entire store came into view.
This looks like an antique store, with antique shelves filled with all kinds of unknown antiques.
I don’t know if the air conditioning is on in this store or something. After entering the fog, everyone felt chilly.
This chill penetrated the body, making several people feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's strange. This shop is obviously open, but why is there no one looking after it?"
Li Da muttered to himself, and then tried shouting a few more times, but there was still no response, which made several people present confused.
After waiting for a few more minutes, no one came.
After all, this is an antique store, and the things displayed on the shelves look very expensive. Li Da and others also know that it is not appropriate to stay here without a boss.
"Forget it, since there is no one, let's go out first.
Don't let something get damaged in this room and cause trouble to Director Feng. "
As Li Da spoke, he took the lead to walk towards the door. However, when he opened the door again and took a step out, he was stunned in place.
Seeing Li Da who was suddenly stunned at the door, several people came forward in confusion, but then the same expression appeared on everyone's face.
Because when the door is opened again, what everyone can see is no longer the scene of the Avenue of Flowing Fire.
It is a strange environment that several people have never been to.
Li Da and the others, who gradually regained their composure, walked out of the shop one after another, and then looked around in astonishment.
However, at this moment, several people discovered that they were in a remote and desolate place, surrounded by darkness, and only the shop behind them had a faint light.
And the shop stands alone here, looking extremely abrupt.
"What...what's going on? This doesn't seem to be the Avenue of Flowing Fire, right?"
Zhou Xiangyin frowned in astonishment and looked around with rapid breathing.
Suddenly coming into such a strange environment made Zhou Xiangyin feel very uneasy.
The environment where Jiren was located was extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of gurgling water making up the only tone here.
When encountering this situation suddenly, no one dared to act rashly. They just froze in place, never daring to go too far away from the shop.
Of course, during this period, Liu Bing and Gao Ling also tried many times to re-enter the store and open the door, but no matter what, they could not return to Liuhuo Avenue. What they saw was always this strange place.
…
At the same time, in the Liuhuo Avenue Management Office, Zhao Xue was carefully checking accounts with three people.
Brother Flathead was smiling from ear to ear throughout. He earned the most today.
After his popularity spread, netizens affectionately called Brother Pingtou a hidden hero.
Everyone was shocked by the true energy displayed by Brother Pingtou, which also brought huge customer flow to Brother Pingtou.
At this moment, after calculating the accounts, Brother Pingtou’s store has the highest profit, which makes Brother Pingtou look quite proud:
"Low-key, low-key, it's not a big deal!"
The river god on the side sighed helplessly:
"There's no comparison at all. He runs a martial arts studio and I make snacks.
We are not in the same industry, so there is no point in comparing them. "
After hearing this, Zhao Xue said helplessly:
"River God, don't do this.
If you could focus less on looking at beautiful women, you would definitely earn more than Brother Flathead. "
Seemingly knowing that he was in the wrong, the River God shrugged and said nothing more, but Brother Flathead was so proud at this time that he kept showing off like Versailles.
"okay……"
After completing the proofreading of the accounts, Zhao Xue put the account books away, then looked at the three of them and said:
"You all go back and have a rest early. After get off work tomorrow, remember to come over at this time to check the accounts."
The three of them nodded one after another, but just as they were about to turn around and leave, the phone on Zhao Xue's desk suddenly rang.
After connecting the phone, Zhao Xue soon heard Fatty's voice coming from the phone:
"Zhao Xue, the director said someone else entered the Flowing Fire Avenue at night.
They walked into a store that didn't exist, and now they were at the intersection of Yin and Yang.
In order to prevent them from being trapped there and never coming back, you quickly ask Brother Flathead and the others to bring these people out. "
Hearing this, Zhao Xue felt a little confused:
"Why do we have to let Brother Pingtou and the others handle this matter?"
The fat man’s voice on the phone was quite helpless:
“It was our turn to sort it out, but now we’re all in the training ground.
The training is now at the most critical juncture, and whether we can make a breakthrough depends on this.
We must not delay at this time, so we should work hard for Brother Pingtou and the others. "
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xue quickly informed Brother Pingtou and the three of them about the matter, which caused some dissatisfaction to appear on Brother Pingtou's face:
"These people are really well fed. Why do they have to come here to get into trouble when they have nothing to do?"
The three of them now know that the Flowing Fire Avenue after twelve o'clock is very special, and the boundary between yin and yang is very weak.
The reason why ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Flowing Fire Avenue is because if you are not careful, you may walk into the underworld along this road.
This is like the gateway between Yin and Yang. After Zi Shi, it is difficult to distinguish between Yin and Yang.
If someone enters the Way of Flowing Fire, it is in the true sense that a person is walking with a ghost, but it is difficult to know it.
While complaining about the flat-headed brother, he opened the door first and came outside the house.
Even though the three of them stayed on the Flowing Fire Avenue quite honestly, after all, they each had their own magical powers, so it was easy to deal with such trivial matters.
The River God dispersed his power for a moment, felt it, and then pointed to a closed shop door not far away and said:
“They went astray, and now they have reached the junction of Yin and Yang.
Hurry, it's still too late to intervene, otherwise none of us will be able to save the situation after we cross the junction, and the director will have to take action himself. "
As the River God spoke, he took the lead to walk forward, and soon stood in front of a closed shop.
Then he looked at the flat-headed brother with his pocket on the side:
"What are you still doing? Hurry up and take action."
The flat-headed brother stepped forward helplessly, grabbed the door handle with one hand, and knocked on the door a few times with the other hand.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
At the same time, Li Da and others soon heard a sudden knocking sound in the store, which made them look back in surprise, only to find that the closed store door behind them slowly opened.
Then a boy with a crew cut they had never seen before stood at the door.
Seeing the lack of movement from the others, the boy with a flat head glared:
"What are you doing standing around, come in!"
The sudden situation made several people unable to recover, but after all, the environment they were in at this time was too strange, so after a brief thought, several people walked in the door one after another.
Stepping over the threshold, Li Da and others were once again shocked to find that they had returned to the Flowing Fire Avenue.
It was as if what they just stepped through was a door built on the Flowing Fire Avenue and a special space.
After Brother Flathead closed the door, several people looked at the shop again, only to realize that no one was running the shop at all, so there was no light at all.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see the rules written on the door?
Liuhuo Avenue now has a total of three stores opened, and every time a new store is opened in the future, it will be explained on the notice.
When you come to Liuhuo Avenue in the future, you must not enter any store that is not listed on the notice, otherwise you will not be so lucky next time. "
After saying these words, Brother Pingtou was about to leave. However, at this moment, Liu Bing came forward quickly, blocked his way, and said at the same time:
"This little brother, do you know where the polling bureau is? I am the lord of Lin'an City. If there is something urgent, I need to see Director Feng."
After hearing this, Brother Pingtou said blankly without even thinking about it:
"You said you are the city lord, so you are. We haven't received any news. Leave quickly. This is not the place you should stay."
Seeing that Brother Flathead was about to turn around and leave again, Liu Bing quickly took out his badge and waved it in front of Brother Flathead.
However, after seeing the waist card, the flat-headed brother suddenly changed his face and put on a smile.
The face change was so fast that even He Shen and Zhao Hu next to him didn't react, let alone Li Da and others.
“Oh, it turns out he is really a leader.
You want to find the polling bureau, right? I can take you there, come here..."
While saying this, Brother Flathead changed direction.
This move also made Li Da and others feel relieved.
This at least means that the polling bureau is within the Fire Avenue, but what makes them wonder is why they have never seen it before?
"call……"
However, at this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew past several people.
The flat-headed brother, who was still smiling playfully, suddenly stopped, frowned quickly, and looked behind him.
The River God, who had been staring at Chen Xiao admiring him with a lustful look on his face, turned out to be uncharacteristic and looked at the sky behind him with a frown.
Zhao Hu's reaction was not very big, but he clenched his fists at this time, as if facing a formidable enemy, and took a defensive posture.
Looking at these three people with such weird reactions, Radar and others were still a little confused.
But what they can feel is that as the dark wind blows just now, the temperature of the entire Flowing Fire Avenue seems to have suddenly dropped a lot.
I saw that the white mist that originally filled the Flowing Fire Avenue was gradually replaced by black mist.
There was a thick black fog above the head, like a dark cloud, blocking the moonlight.
Then, in the black mist, two red lights suddenly appeared. This red light seemed to have the ability to absorb people's minds, which shocked Li Da and others.
Accompanied by a burst of muffled thunder, a shrill voice that could not be identified as male or female echoed throughout the entire Liuhuo Avenue:
"I would like to see who dares to ruin my good deeds!"
