Chapter 137 Xiao Jing

The girl who was so frightened by us that she sat down on the ground was Xiao Jing who once lived with Qiao An in the ruins.

This is the woods on the outskirts of Mirage City, and she is a student of Liucheng. Why would she appear in a place like this? Qiao Gancao and I looked at each other.

Xiao Jing finally came to his senses after being stunned for a few seconds. He looked at Qiao Licao and asked tremblingly: "Qiao, Qiao An's sister?"

"It's me. Are you okay?" Qiao Licao stretched out his hand and helped Xiao Jing up.

I observed the latter carefully. When encountering someone who shouldn't be here in such an unusual place, I must be very vigilant. Sometimes after the devil involves the victim in a different space, he will first disguise himself as the other person.

He was an acquaintance, so that he could relax his guard before hunting. Although Xiao Jing was not very familiar with Qiao Licao and I, we were both in this kind of ghost place, so we couldn't make any mistakes with caution.

However, I can't see any signs of danger from her body for the time being. Both my eyes and my intuition tell me that she is a genuine human being. There is nothing special about her except that she is too scared to stand still.

If I have to say it, the clothes all over her body are dirty, and there are a few small wounds on her exposed skin. She may have been cut by the branches and leaves of trees while rolling around on the road. Maybe in

Before meeting us, she had already encountered the devil, and then barely escaped after some setbacks.

Her eyes moved from Qiao Licao to me, but she didn't seem to recognize me. Perhaps because my scrutinizing gaze was too explicit, she hugged her body as if she was cold and asked in fear: "

You, you are..."

"Law Enforcement Warlock, Ren Sai." I had just introduced myself as my family, and then I remembered that the middleman had broken my real name in front of her before, and added, "You can also call me Li Duo."

She was stunned for a moment, as if she recalled something, and gradually showed a dumbfounded expression, "I, I remembered, I have seen you before, in that place with many monsters... It turns out, it turned out that it was not a dream...

…”

"Of course not." I said, "And didn't you also see me when you went to the Security Bureau for a physical examination after that?"

"Well, I remembered. I have seen it before. It's strange why I didn't remember it just now..." She touched her forehead in confusion.

"Don't you remember now? Let's not mention this for now." I said, "It's not very safe here. Let's talk about it while moving."

"Go this way." Qiao Gancao glanced at his compass and said to Xiao Jing, "Follow us."

"Okay." Xiao Jing quickly approached us, "Do you know how to get out of here?"

"I don't know yet. But as long as we follow closely, we won't be in danger again." Qiao Licao pointed at me with a smile, "This brother Li Duo will protect us."

We continued to move. At this time, I was able to conclude that there was indeed nothing wrong with this little scene. However, I was still curious about the reason for her appearance here, so I tried to ask a few questions. But now she had already recalled the original scene.

What happened in the ruins made me suspicious, and it was not easy to talk to. I had told her and Qiao An before that I had been a very evil person, and it was probably this that made her unable to trust me. Even if I throw away

Despite this, my impression of her has always been that of a suspicious and timid girl, who looked at me with suspicion from the beginning.

However, although she had experienced such a thrilling and terrifying thing before, she had forgotten it as easily as she had forgotten what breakfast she had last week. If I lived according to the so-called "normal life track", I would probably It's almost the same as her. But now I can't even imagine and imagine her mentality towards the secret incident and myself who has experienced the secret incident.

Qiao Licao took over the task of inquiring, but Xiaojing's attitude was still very "cautious" and the conversation was not smooth. I think, just like I saw her before, she was probably also wondering "Why would she be in this kind of ghost?" "I met an acquaintance somewhere," and even suspected that we were demons in disguise.

But no matter how worried she was, she could only follow us step by step, looking around fearfully from time to time, like a frightened cat.

I calmly put my hand into my pocket, touched the "Quick Talk" amulet that Qiao An gave me, and then poured some spiritual power into it.

"Why are you here?" I asked, "Are you here alone?"

The "Quick Talk" talisman has the power to break the psychological defenses of others and make people willing to tell the truth. At this moment, the vigilance she showed melted away like a snowball encountering boiling water, and she answered honestly Me, "I came with my mother, but I got separated from her."

Qiao Gancao glanced at me thoughtfully, and then asked Xiao Jing: "Can you elaborate more?"

Xiao Jing closed his mouth. It seemed that the "Quick Talk" talisman could only affect the conversation between me and the other party, but could not allow a third party to enjoy the benefits of the talisman. I had no choice but to repeat Qiao Licao's question. Hearing this, Xiaojing seemed not to realize that there was something wrong with her different attitudes before and after, and told me the whole story of her appearance here.

According to Xiaojing, just last night, for some reason, her mother suddenly made the decision to take her to the mirage market, and even contacted her school to ask for leave. Although she asked her mother for the reason, But her mother kept it secret and ignored him. And just this morning, her mother drove off with her.

Unexpectedly, when driving to a forest road, the mother and daughter fell into the fog of unknown origin. The surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, even to the point of seriously affecting driving. What's even more terrible is that this originally not very long road. The forest road seems to be endless and never reaches the end. Even if the fuel is exhausted, there is still no way to leave.

After encountering this kind of thing, they were completely at a loss. They couldn't even muster the courage to get out of the car and explore. Although they also tried to contact the outside world, the signal could not be transmitted. And it had been so long. Logically speaking, It was said that the sky should have been dark, but the time seemed to have stopped in the daytime, and the light did not weaken at all. All that could be seen with the naked eye was a vast gray mist.

After a while, they still had to get out of the car because a huge monster wearing a black metal shell suddenly rushed out of the thick fog and attacked their car.

The monster, of course, refers to the devil. In this case, if they didn't run away, they would just sit and wait for death. They had no choice but to get out of the car and flee, rushing into the woods in a hurry. However, because they fled too hastily, the distance between the mother and daughter After taking a few steps away, the daughter could no longer see where her mother was.

Just like Bairi Town at that time, the thick fog here seems to have the effect of dispersing people. Xiao Jing became completely alone, wandering in the woods submerged by the thick fog.

Although she was walking in such an open place, she could only see an extremely narrow space due to the thick fog. This experience awakened the primitive fear deep in her genes and pushed her spirit to the limit.

She didn't dare to shout loudly or walk quickly for fear of disturbing the monsters that might be wandering deep in the thick fog.

After walking for who knows how long, she finally saw someone other than herself, that is, us.

Xiaojing finished talking about her experience as if she had put down all her psychological burdens. While listening to her narration, I sighed in my heart at the power of the "Quick Talk" talisman. She, who was so suspicious of me just now, actually knew everything about me now.

Words, words are endless.

At the same time, I caught the doubts in her words.

If what she said is true, then she should have been lost in the thick fog. In the fog of the Demon of Fog, "lost" is a special phenomenon that generally occurs in people who do not have advanced awareness, and

It is difficult for the lost and the non-lost to meet in the fog. However, we met Xiaojing normally.

This time the fog seemed different from before. I vaguely had this feeling.

In addition, the probability of ordinary people encountering secret incidents due to bad luck is very low. For example, although it is unknown how many people die in car accidents around the world every year, a person's life will be affected by being hit by a car when going out.

The probability of death is still very low, and this is the second time Xiaojing has encountered a mysterious incident.

Although I can't say it's definitely not due to her bad luck, her previous statements inevitably made me concerned, so I'd better ask again just to be cautious.

"You said your mother suddenly decided to go to the mirage market, but didn't tell you the reason?" Qiao Licao asked with concern, "Then do you have any guesses about this?"

"Guess..." After talking about the encounter, Xiao Jing seemed to no longer be shy and answered Qiao Licao's question, "Maybe it's because of that person... It's because of my father. What's there in the mirage market?

The only one Mom cares about is him."

"Your father is in the mirage market? Is he there on a business trip?" I asked.

"No, my mother divorced him a few years ago, and then moved me from Mirage City to Liucheng, while he continued to stay in Mirage City," she said.

"Divorce? What's the reason?" Qiao Licao asked.

"I was just a kid back then and didn't know much. I heard from my mother that my grandparents were working on the front line in law enforcement, so that person inherited his father's career and joined the government. But he had bad conduct.

, and was later kicked out of the unit by his superiors, which wasted the efforts of his grandparents." When Xiao Jing talked about this incident, his tone revealed a strong sense of contempt, "I was still in elementary school at that time, and that person drank alcohol every day, and it was okay.

I just scolded my mother, and there seemed to have been a fierce fight? I don't remember clearly. Later, I don't know where I met some bad friends. It seemed that I was gambling and making money outside, and got into trouble with people from the black area.

My mother couldn't stand him anymore, so she divorced him."

"Later, he came to Liucheng from the mirage market and kept insisting that he wanted to get back together with his mother." She said disdainfully, "How can you get back together with a guy like that!"

It sounded like a hopeless person, but when she said "law enforcement work," I took out my work ID from my pocket just in case, "Law enforcement work? Could it be that your father and you

What do your grandparents’ IDs look like?”

"Ah? No, no, it has nothing to do with you. My mother took me to see him where he worked before. My grandparents are also serious law enforcers. They have also appeared on TV news, and there are awards at home.

And the banner." At this point, she couldn't help but add, "It's completely different from that person, he is simply a waste of society."

She was unwilling to call the other person her father, and only said "that person". It seemed that she wanted to clear up the relationship between herself and her father. After talking about it, her face became a little uncomfortable, and she seemed to regret why she had to treat us.

Said it out.

"Anyway, maybe it's something that happened to that person recently. My mother has suddenly become very strange these days. She's been talking all day long, and she suddenly decided to go to the mirage market, and now she's like this again..."

She looked at the fog around her, her expression became uneasy again, "I wonder where she is now, is she okay..."

After a moment of silence, she asked again: "Well, I've been wanting to ask since just now, where are we going?"

"We are still groping, and we are now looking for clues to leave this fog." Qiao Licao said.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask: "Isn't anyone from the outside coming to rescue?"

"No. You can think of the fog we are in as the same place as the different space that involved you and Qiao An last time. Moreover, no matter how much time passes here, it is only a moment to the outside world.

"While speaking, I thought that if the fog was arranged by Biting Blood, then she must want to use this characteristic to do something. Seeing that she has not shown any signs of attacking for so long, her target is probably not

us.

In other words, we are probably just affected.

Then, I added: "If you really want someone to come to rescue you, you might as well regard us as rescuers. Based on the responsibility of the Security Bureau, we will not leave you alone."

Initially, her expression was very disappointed, but after hearing the second half of my words, she regained some energy. It was me and Qiao Licao who rescued her from the ruins last time, so my words should still sound reasonable to her.

usefulness.

Suddenly, I noticed a slight change in the fog. At first I thought it was because I didn't look carefully, but as I moved forward, I found that the fog was indeed slowly fading at an undetectable speed.

I looked at Qiao Licao, "Are we heading out of the fog?"

"No, according to the instructions of the compass, the clue to leaving the fog should be in the hinterland of the fog..." She also noticed that the fog was getting lighter as we moved forward, "We are not moving away, but going deeper."

After advancing for a while, we finally escaped from the woods and walked onto a road. The fog in our field of vision became thinner and thinner, and eventually we could even see the scene several hundred meters away clearly.

And continuing along the highway, we finally entered the mirage market.

In other words, the mirage market has been destroyed.
