There was no sunlight in the dark alley, and there were stones that hurt your feet everywhere. If you kicked it forward casually, the stones would rotate on the ground for several times and then the sound would be silenced.
Xia Lingge leaned against the wall with one leg bent back for support. She put a slightly large black coat on her body, and even raised her hood to half cover her face. She put her hands in her pockets and looked quietly into the deepest part of the alley.
"It might have to wait a little longer."
Si Cheng stood opposite her, wearing a light gray down jacket like her and a high-brimmed hat on his head. His eyes turned back to Xia Lingge from the depths of the alley, knowing the danger that the doll might bring. Xia Lingge's first thought was to test it again to verify what she was thinking. She contacted Sicheng to find the most suitable 'experimenter'.
"This location is relatively remote, and most of the people coming here are gangsters, because there is a bar over there." Sicheng pointed to the location two intersections across the street, "I used to work there before. I worked in a bar, but it was too complicated and messy and I quit within two days.”
As if to explain something, his next words followed closely.
Xia Lingge nodded in understanding, and then asked Sicheng, "Did you find out everything?"
"Clear."
Sicheng replied: "There is a little gangster in the east neighborhood. He is idle all day long. He fell in love with a female high school student a few days ago. I heard that in order to pursue her, he would block her at the school gate all day long and give her to other girls. She was so frightened that this morning the giant bug went to the school gate to block people again. He said he was giving her a doll that looked like him. The little girl didn't want it. After pushing her, the doll fell to the ground and was stepped on several times. The giant bug turned his head and gave the little girl a couple of kicks. He made a lot of noise, but was suppressed by the school."
The bar is crowded and it is indeed a good place to listen to gossip and first-hand information.
But Xia Lingge also knew what kind of people were there. In order to brag and make a fuss about anything, he would exaggerate and say, "When did this happen?"
Sicheng thought for a while: "It's this morning. I know what senior sister is worried about. The news is not very long. Senior sister, you also know that the argument of gossip lies in freshness and strangeness. If the argument is not enough, or the matter is too Falsehood will not be used as a 'joke' for everyone's entertainment."
Xia Lingge glanced at him and nodded.
The alley entrance was quiet for a moment.
But not far away, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps.
"Brother Giant Insect, why don't you continue to pursue your little girlfriend today? Have you had enough fun before you even get it?"
"Ha! It's her luck that I fell in love with her and pursued her. He was so stupid that he threw the little doll that I worked so hard to make on the floor. If he didn't give her some color, he really didn't know how powerful I am! "
Waves of laughter merged into boasting sounds. Xia Lingge glanced sideways and saw five or six people dressed as gangsters walking towards this direction with arms on their shoulders or pockets in their pockets. Their bodies swaggered with their footsteps, showing a stern look like "I am not afraid of anything."
But Xia Lingge knew that this kind of person was actually the best to deal with. She watched them walk into a bar two intersections away. She and Sicheng looked at each other and followed them in unhurriedly.
The explosive music instantly broke through the eardrums, and the colorful lights shone on everyone. The men and women on the dance floor were wearing different styles of clothes and dressing up in different styles, but they were all acting wantonly in this small bar where no one knew anyone. Dance freely, like a unique carnival.
Xia Lingge's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally settled on the giant insect leaning on the leather sofa. (End of chapter)
