Chapter 125: Midnight

"Monster? Monster! Monster!" The updater suddenly howled on his own, which scared Zhang Luochen.

But Hong Zhouzi walked forward and a Ning Shen Talisman was stuck on the forehead of the updater, "Brother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, speak slowly, speak slowly."

The updater finally calmed down gradually. Hong Zhouzi's voice was quite a bit pleasing. As the updater gradually calmed down, he finally began to tell intermittently.

The story of this updater is even more bizarre.

He has been a refueling man for more than ten years and has to beat the gong in Lizhou City every night. That night he held the gong and played the gong on time. When he walked to the south of the city, he felt a little scared because the area in the south of the city has not been very peaceful and the public security is not very good. Moreover, there have been several rumors of people disappearing strangely in the past six months. That night it was very dark and he couldn't see his fingers, so he was a little afraid to go there. However, he needed work, but he had to go there. He had no choice but to decide not to walk the main street and just walk along the city wall for a walk.

When I was halfway through the lantern, I vaguely felt that someone was following him. When the updater looked back, he saw nothing. He thought he had heard it wrong and hurriedly wanted to finish the update.

However, after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a plop, and then a scream. He looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw a man half lying on the ground, struggling to scream at him. There were two green ghost fires behind the man. The updater was so scared that he watched the man being dragged into the darkness.

He didn't dare to stop, so he turned around and ran away.

The next day, when the yamen runner went there to investigate, he found no blood. He only saw the seals on the ground with his hands.

However, someone was indeed lost in the middle of the night, but it was a young man from the salt merchant. He ran to the street for some reason in the middle of the night, but was captured by the unselfish monster.

When Zhang Luochen heard this, he felt aroused in his heart, "Let me guess, is the place where you encountered a monster in a humble alley?"

"That's right, that's right!" the updater said excitedly, and his body trembled again.

Zhang Luochen was interested now. The thing this updater said finally looked a bit monster. Moreover, the information provided by these three people was completely inconsistent, but they all pointed to the alleys. It seemed that it was necessary to go there to investigate.

He looked out the window, but found that the sun had set. If this happens, it would be inconvenient to go tonight, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

That night, Zhang Luochen and others lived in the government office.

As the sun sets, the dark night also envelopes Lizhou Prefecture. As the most prosperous place in the Southern Zhou Kingdom, even at 10:00 in the past, there are often dim lights that illuminate the streets of the city, and people come out to play at night.

However, in the past six months, due to various uneasy rumors, an unknown atmosphere has enveloped the city. Before nightfall, it is often quiet and dark, and few people dare to run around in the middle of the night.

In the quiet city, there were only occasional barking of cats and dogs, and the sound of the clapper's clapper came faintly.

However, in such a quiet night, a chase drama was being staged on a street southeast of the city.

"Chasing! Chasing! Don't escape the little thief."

A group of rangers holding steel swords and long swords were chasing all the way, and on the eaves in front of them, a floating figure was jumping and running along the roof.

"You guys, please go there, hurry up!"

"Use hidden weapons and use hidden weapons to knock him down."

Then a flying knife was thunderous, and the locust stone was thrown out. The black shadow suddenly flashed in the air and dodged most of the attacks, but the tiles under his feet were suddenly smashed by an iron gallbladder, and fell down after a mistake.

When several rangers saw it, they all became energetic and chased after them. The moment the shadow landed, they immediately rushed out. The speed was amazing, which made the pursuers behind them stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, the shadow had already run away.

Several people hurriedly chased after him again.

However, just bypassing a street corner, I suddenly found that I had lost my target.

"Damn it, let him run away!" a goatee said unwillingly.

Scarface, who was leading the lead, shook his head, "Not necessarily, although the little thief is fast, it is not that fast. He is carrying something on his back, so it is definitely not so easy to escape. He must be hiding nearby. We will search carefully and maybe we can find it."

"Hey, brothers! Look over there."

Several people looked forward together, but a red figure slowly walked in the hazy night.

Under the moonlight, a graceful woman in red gradually appeared in the sight of the three of them.

The fair skin shines in the moonlight with a warm luster, the charming red lips and charming eyes make the woman look beautiful and charming, with a unique charm of seductive charm.

The three of them looked at each other and saw each other's shock. I'm afraid this person is the legendary fox demon Wu Meiniang.

The rumors about this fox demon had already spread in the city. If it were the slutty young men and romantic scholars, they would have to go over and make fun of them.

However, the three of them are all old and do not avoid such things.

Seeing the beautiful woman in red looking at the three of them, they all retreated.

"A few young brothers, I'm still wandering on the street so late. Are you lost? Should you go to my house to rest? There is a good wine in my attic. I'm alone and I'm lonely and lacking people to accompany me to taste it."

The leader Scar's face twitched twice and laughed dryly: "Our brothers came out to catch thieves, but we didn't have that leisure and elegance. We appreciate the girl's kindness. I wonder if the girl has ever seen a thief dressed in black?"

The beauty in red covered her face and smiled, "I haven't seen the thief, but if the thief didn't run away, she must have been hiding nearby. Why would I ask my family to accompany the little brothers to search?" After saying that, Lianzhu moved lightly and walked slowly towards the three of them.

All three of them showed a look of alert, "Well, there is no need to do this. The thief must have gone far away, so there is no need to bother the girl. Brothers, let's go."

After saying that, they each held swords and slowly retreated backwards, retreating faster and faster. Before the woman in red walked up to her, she had already fled in panic.

"Don't hurry to leave, little brothers, hey - cut!" The woman in red shook her head, looked at the backs of the people leaving, and suddenly smiled slightly, blinked at a willow tree not far away, "What are you still hiding? Everyone is leaving."

A black shadow indeed emerged from behind the tree. The man was surprisingly thin and hid behind the willow tree less than one foot in diameter, without revealing his legs at all.

At this time, my body stretched out and returned to my normal body shape. However, I was a petite woman wearing a black night clothes, with a mask on her head, only a pair of cold star-like eyes were revealed, and she looked at the woman in red with a smile.

The woman in red showed an angry expression.

"It's you, you, again. Are you running to become a thief when you don't sleep in the middle of the night? You're always chased by someone and run around, and you want me to save you from the trap."

The woman in black who was scolded also raised her eyebrows, "Who wants you, a fox, to save me? I'm hiding it well, and I wouldn't have been discovered by those people - you're dressed so coquettishly in the middle of the night, aren't you going to seduce a man again?"

"I really can't figure out what's good about those stinky men, but they just want to provoke them one by one and cause a lot of trouble."

The woman in red smiled charmingly, "You don't know that if you are a woman, if you can't find a good man and have a good home, it will always be a regret in this life."

"Ha, it's amazing. You're so provocative and seducing, it's a big surprise to meet a good man. I think you can't stand the loneliness, why bother to say it so nicely?" As he said, he climbed onto the tree in a few seconds and pulled down a large cloth bag. It was heavy inside, obviously containing a lot of good things.

He opened the cloth bag and turned around and made a gesture to the woman in red.

The woman in red was not polite, so she walked over and searched for it twice, but took out a golden hairpin, put it on her head, picked another jade ring and a gilded bracelet.

While putting it on his body, he said indifferently: "Then you think I can't stand the loneliness."

After decorating it neatly, he turned around and smiled at the woman in black, "Does it look good?"

The woman in black was stunned for a moment. Under the moonlight, the woman in red wore a gold hairpin, a jade ring hanging around her fair neck, and a bracelet on her jade wrist. She looked like she was shining, but she added a little more gorgeous, but she couldn't help but sigh, "It looks good."
