When we came out of the store, it was early 11 o'clock in the morning. There was constant traffic on the main road, and pedestrians waiting for the green light gathered at the intersection, like a crowded island.
Lin Ge stood behind the crowd and suddenly saw a distinctive figure in front of the convenience store across the road. Even among the crowd, he was so unique and eye-catching.
A tall and thin man, wearing a dark leather jacket and leather trousers, with a half-burning cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the streetlight, staring deeply at the pedestrians passing by.
Bones? Ringer recognized at a glance that it was a white bone covered with a layer of skin from the world. Why was he holding it on the side of the road?
The light turned green and pedestrians on both sides of the road began to meet. Reading Lalinger passed through the dense crowd of pedestrians and came to Bai Gu, but Bai Gu did not notice him at the first time.
He turned his head again and was looking at the vehicles parked in front of the zebra crossing. With his tall and thin figure and thin, gray cheeks, he looked like a vampire who had walked out into the sun, but not many passers-by noticed him, as if he was in a different world from him.
"Skeleton Bones, what are you doing here?" Linge finally spoke. Hearing Ringer's voice, Baigu turned around.
"Ah, you're finally back. I'm here to observe humans and vehicles." Lin Ge looked at the cigarette butt in his mouth and asked, "Where did you get the cigarette?" Bai Gu took a last puff and flicked the cigarette butt. to the ground.
"This, is it called a cigarette? I picked it up on the ground. It tastes really good." Is it actually something I picked up?
Ringer shook his head, walked into the convenience store on the roadside, and came out after a while, handing a pack of cigarettes and a lighter to Bai Gu.
"Don't pick up cigarette butts on the ground anymore. I'll buy them for you after you finish smoking." Bai Gu played with the lighter in his hand and quickly mastered how to use it.
Click. Seeing the flames coming out of the lighter, Bai Gu found it very interesting. He kept playing with it, took out another cigarette, held it in his mouth, and lit it with the lighter.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Gu closed his mouth, and smoke came out of his nostrils, ears, and dark eye sockets.
"After standing here for so long, I discovered," Bai Gu said,
"Unless I actively block their way, it's like these passers-by can't see me. It's an amazing feeling to be ignored by everyone."
"This may be because you are an undead from another world." Linge guessed.
"I haven't been to such a lively place for a long time," Bai Gu looked at the passers-by.
"If it were in the world I'm familiar with, if I had stood on the street for so long, a priest would have come to purify me long ago." Bai Gu took out a cigarette and handed it to Linger, who waved his hand, indicating that he was not smokes.
He took back the cigarette and inserted it into his right ear hole, almost the entire cigarette, leaving only a small part of the filter outside for easy extraction.
Lin Ge was stunned when he saw this.
"How did you do it?" Bai Gu grinned, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and the gums were almost invisible. He tapped his forehead with his long and thin index finger, making a crisp sound.
"Actually, there is nothing in here. It is empty. It seems that this world has only given me a skin, and there is still a skeleton inside. It is quite convenient to put something in it." Lin Ge nodded.
"Let's go, I've prepared a gift for you." Bai Gu rubbed his hands excitedly and followed Lin Ge all the way back home.
In the courtyard, Ringer pointed to the empty space, the space ring on his finger flashed slightly, and a brand new bicycle appeared in front of Bai Gu.
"Why is it so thin?" Bai Gu was stunned.
"It's different from the motorcycles I saw on TV, although it also has two wheels..." Ringer said with a smile: "This is not a motorcycle, this is a bicycle. The motorcycle I customized for you has not been produced yet. , it will probably take a few weeks, before that, you should use this to learn how to master balance."
"I understand." Bai Gu circled the bicycle twice and then rode on. He kicked off the side bracket, lifted his feet off the ground, stepped on the pedal, swayed twice, and then fell to the left.
Lin Ge quickly supported him.
"I'll help you catch the tail, and you just ride forward."
"Okay, thank you, Ringer." From the window on the first floor, Lanya held her chin and looked at the two of them practicing enthusiastically in the yard, showing an envious expression.
On the windowsill on the second floor, Elvi and Gorolit were also watching the situation below. Elvi showed an expression of emotion. After Ringer took her body back, she wanted to ride it and put her head in the basket in front of the bicycle.
With Ringer's help, Baigu was able to master the riding balance on his own by about three o'clock in the afternoon. Although it was still a little crooked, it was already pretty good for a novice who came into contact with a bicycle on his first day.
Once he could ride alone, Ringer let Bai Gu continue practicing. Bai Gu's enthusiasm for learning was very high. He walked around the yard in circles. Occasionally he fell down, got up, broke the misplaced bones, and continued practicing.
Lin Ge watched for a while, then turned and entered the house. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Shirley coming up to him with a glass of water.
"Linge, here you go." Shirley opened her big, pure eyes, and her clean gaze fell on Linge's face.
Compared with when she first came here, her intelligence has improved a lot, and she is still very attached to Ringer.
Ringer took the water glass and took a sip, with the sweet smell of sherry.
"Thank you, Shirley." Ringer smiled and touched her forehead. The time came to 5:30 in the afternoon, half an hour before work time. When Lin Ge and Lanya went out together, their bones were still sweating under the setting sun.
By this time, he was already riding very smoothly, and would fall down only once every three laps on average. The two said some encouraging words to him, then left the yard and walked on the street shrouded in the sunset.
It was 5:45 when the two arrived at the store. Nilu came earlier than the two of them. When the two of them entered, they were already wiping the wine table in the hall. She bent over and turned her ecstatic back to the door. Lanya only glanced at her and her face turned red.
Secretly observing Lin Ge beside him, he found that his expression was as usual and showed no signs of being tempted, and he immediately felt relieved.
Nilu finished wiping the table in front of her, then turned back and said, "You are here." When she saw Lin Ge smiling at her, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Hey, brother Linge, you seem to be..." She observed Linge carefully, the surprise in her eyes getting stronger and stronger.
"It has become different." Lin Ge remembered that Nilu had cast a charm spell on him, and his heart moved, and he thought: I wonder which one is more powerful, Nilu's charm or my soul magic pattern?
Naturally, I thought of competing with her. His lower abdomen felt slightly warm, and the power of the spiritual magic pattern was activated.
He smiled and asked, "What kind of man does Sister Nilu like?"
