"It's over, I'm almost late. Iron Rooster will definitely deduct my bonus this month..." Since it was rare to have clear weather, Fu Bao changed and washed all the bed sheets at home and moved the quilts to dry in the sun. After a busy morning, he was so tired I was drowsy, and finally fell asleep accidentally. When I woke up, I was almost late to catch up with my part-time job.
He was out of breath from running, but fortunately, he only had to cross one street to reach the supermarket where he worked. He tried hard to keep running at a speed of 100 meters and rushed forward.
"The light is green!" When he ran to the zebra crossing, the lucky green light turned on. Fu Bao raised the corners of his mouth and walked happily——
"boom!"
"Ouch..." Fu Bao bumped into someone unexpectedly, and the powerful impact caused him and the other person to fall to the ground.
He rubbed his sore buttocks and jumped up. He quickly went to help the other person and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not looking at the road..."
In fact, he was watching the road. There was no one in front of him, and the light had just turned green, so it was impossible for the person on the other side of the road to come over... scary!
The person he helped up...
His tongue was sticking out so long, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, this and this...
"Hey, it doesn't matter. I was just talking to my friends. I can't help it. I'm so excited about the annual parade."
As the "man" spoke, he flicked the tongue that reached his chest to the side.
Fu Bao stared at the man who looked very similar to the hanged man in the horror movie, "Parade? Is it a Cosplay parade?"
The man took off the top hat on his head and grinned widely, "Boy, it's the Ghost Parade Carnival!"
He waved his hand back - a parade actually appeared on the road where cars were passing by, and everyone was dressed in extremely bloody and weird costumes. Several questions came to Fu Bao's mind. It was obviously summer vacation. , how come there is a Halloween parade?
And when did this large group of people show up? Aren't there just cars on the road?
"Hey, boy, are you new here? It's very unfamiliar. Come on, let me introduce you to some famous seniors... By the way, my name is Landao, Hanged Ghost Landao!" The man said He also raised his chin, seeming very proud, and peeked at Fu Bao from the corner of his eye, as if waiting for his reaction.
"Uh... hello." Fu Bao awkwardly tried to break free from the other person's hand, "Well, Mr. Landao, I'm running out of time to get to work. I'm afraid I don't have time to get to know your friends."
The clock-in time had already begun counting down to the last two minutes, and he was extremely anxious.
"Working?" Hanged Ghost Landao then bent down and looked at him carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened - his eyeballs popped out of his sockets, and then he shouted loudly, "Ah..."
Fu Bao was startled by this terrifying sight and shouted "Ah".
"There are humans!"
"There's a ghost!" The parade crowd became commotion because of these two screams. Fu Bao intuitively thought that "there's a ghost" was too scary and he shouldn't have shouted it out so rashly. Just when he was feeling sorry, he said From the center, screams radiated out.
"There are humans!"
"There are humans sneaking in..."
Fu Bao finally felt that something was wrong. Those who were yelling had something falling from their bodies as they became excited——
In vain...maggots!
Red... blood!
Dark...meat!
"Wow--"
He ran away instinctively and rushed into the crowd, no, it was a crowd of ghosts!
With tears in his eyes, he passed by "people" with broken limbs and distorted faces. He ran and ran in a panic, and the surroundings suddenly became desolate.
"Where is this?"
The area around the supermarket was obviously very busy, so even if he ran the wrong way, there shouldn't be buildings around him.
Suddenly, he saw a gorgeous bungalow in front of him. He subconsciously walked forward and looked in through the glass display window. He found that it was full of rare and antique objects. It looked like an antique shop.
And there seemed to be a voice calling him, so he pushed the door open instinctively, "Bell——"
A beautiful wind chime sounded, and Fu Bao suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally.
At this moment, a girl wearing a black Gothic-style tutu and short dress walked out from behind rows of shelves that were as high as the ceiling. She smiled sweetly at him and said, "Fu Bao, you're here!"
Black knee-high stockings and a tutu skirt that only covers the buttocks highlight the whiteness and slenderness of the thighs...
What a perfect and absolute realm! Fu Bao marveled in his heart.
Moving his eyes upward, in addition to the girl's beautiful figure and face, he was also struck by those incredibly cute cat ears!
"These are not cat ears, they are flashy ears that can hear people's voices." The girl smiled, and the cat ears on her head actually moved.
Fu Bao was shocked. Are cat ears real?
And can she really hear what’s in my heart?
Wow, is she a psychic girl?
My brain, heavily influenced by anime, jumped to fantastic conclusions.
"I am Morui, the manager of the Nihuan Key. I am responsible for guarding the world. I occasionally give guidance to those who have dreams and enthusiasm in their hearts." Morui smiled, "You heard a ringtone just now, that was you. The sound that touches the bell of dreams in my heart.”
Fu Bao still couldn't accept such a fantastic statement, but he had just escaped from a group of good brothers and met a girl with cat ears. He began to realize that there seemed to be things in this world that he didn't know before. ⋯⋯
"Yes, souls do exist." Morui responded to the words in his heart again, stepped forward and gently put his arm around his shoulder, "So if you see something, Qian Don’t be too curious, okay?”
Although Fu Bao couldn't figure it out, he still nodded, "But that... I don't have any special dreams..."
"Not now, who knows in the future? By the way, keep the things you can't throw away. They will come in handy one day." Morui smiled and pushed him towards the door, "Go to work quickly. !”
I always felt that the cat-eared girl's words had a strange meaning, but as soon as Fu Bao was pushed out and the door of the antique store was closed, he was already standing in front of the supermarket inexplicably. He checked the time and saw that there were two minutes left, so he hurried in Checking in, "Huh? Why do I feel like something happened just now..."
In the antique shop, the door was pushed open again, and the hanged man who had just bumped into Fu Bao walked in.
"Your Highness Morui." Lan Dao saluted the girl.
She is the master of the Demon City, the object of awe of all demons, and the manager chosen by the mysterious power of the Neon Key. Therefore, she must protect the world and consolidate the existence of the world.
"Oh, Landao, how can we go to participate in the ghost parade during work?" Morui smiled meaningfully.
"Uh..." Landao looked embarrassed.
He knew that nothing could be hidden from His Highness.
"Your Highness, it was Landao's fault. I promise I will never do it again next time. I came here to report to you that there was a human just now..."
"His name is Fu Bao." Morui interrupted him, "He accidentally broke into the parade of ghosts because he has special power, and in the near future, there will be even more special encounters. so--"
Hearing her deliberately long tail tone, Landao answered the words very politely, "Your Highness, Landao will secretly observe that human being, record his experiences in detail, collect them into a book, and send it to you!"
When His Highness is performing the tasks of the Nihuan Key, he has a hobby of converting them into books and collecting those stories. But now that he has made a mistake, he must take the initiative to run errands so that His Highness's love for them will not be in vain.
"Okay, don't flatter me on purpose." Morui shook her head in amusement, "Then you will bring back the stories of the 'Book of Hell's Life and Death' series for me. Remember, fate has its own trajectory. Don't interfere. Understand ?"
"Landao's mission must be fulfilled!" The Hanged Man's long tongue swayed as he bowed, but the next second, he disappeared, and the entire antique shop disappeared without a trace...
