Cui Yanan heard someone talking above her head and was so frightened that she quickly called Mo Shouchen.
The two people were very close, and Mo Shouchen didn't hear anyone talking, so he curiously asked Cui Yanan what he heard.
Cui Yanan looked pale and pointed to the top of his head and said: "I heard someone from above saying, 'Look up at me, I'm inside the tree'!"
Inside the tree?
Mo Shouchen saw Cui Yanan standing under a short tree. The branches and leaves of the short tree were so dense that it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
But he was also standing under the tree. Why didn't he hear the voice?
Could it be that Cui Yanan was too nervous and had hallucinations, or was there really something hidden in the tree?
"Is the voice you heard a man or a woman?" Mo Shouchen asked.
Cui Yanan hid behind Mo Shouchen and said tremblingly: "It seems... it seems to be a woman's voice. It's too scary here. Let's leave quickly!"
According to visitor regulations, once you hear talking in the bird area and you are sure that it is not the people around you, you must leave the bird area and notify nearby staff.
But for Mo Shouchen, in addition to surviving the script mission, he also had to find Tang Yanzhen, so even if he violated the rules, he could not give up any clue easily.
"Brother Wang, take her out of the bird area first!" Mo Shouchen said to Wang Guoqiang.
Wang Guoqiang knew that Mo Shouchen was looking for the whereabouts of his friend, but he was worried about leaving Mo Shouchen here alone, so he said, "I will stay with you here, and the two of us can take care of each other."
Mo Shouchen shook his head and said: "The tourist rules here are too weird. You don't know what will happen if you violate them. We must ensure that one person is safe. If you find anything unusual about me later, take me to the smoking room quickly."
"
Wang Guoqiang had a simple and honest personality and was not stupid, so after hearing what Mo Shouchen said, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately walked towards the exit with Cui Yanan.
Seeing the two people walking away, Mo Shouchen took a deep breath, and then walked to where Cui Yanan was standing just now.
Because the tree was not high, he could reach the upper branches by standing on tiptoes. He raised his hands high to grab the front ends of the two branches, and then separated them to both sides with force.
Many leaves fell down due to pulling, blocking Mo Shouchen's sight.
In the gaps between the leaves, he vaguely saw a face, a woman's face as white as paper.
Mo Shouchen was startled by this face. He immediately let go of the branch and took two steps back, then stared at the slightly swaying branches and leaves.
Because he had just looked at it in a hurry, he was just sure that it was definitely not Tang Yanzhen's face, but now that he thought about the face, he suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
Where on earth have you seen that face?
Mo Shouchen frowned and recalled carefully. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh. Isn't the face he saw in the leaves just now the friend Qiao Rui who had separated from Cui Yanan?
But Qiao Rui was obviously walking in the opposite direction, and the branches of this short tree were so thin that it couldn't bear the weight of a person. How could she be in the tree?
With this question in mind, Mo Shouchen once again approached the tree little by little, then stood on tiptoe and carefully separated the branches.
"Whoosh!"
A figure the size of a football jumped out from the branches and leaves and rushed towards the roof.
Mo Shouchen took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a black and white bird.
Looking at the branches that were opened, there was nothing inside.
It's strange. I saw a woman's face just now. Could it be that the one that flew out just now was a human-faced bird, and I mistakenly mistook the human-faced bird's face for Qiao Rui's face?
But Mo Shouchen had seen photos of human-faced birds on the Internet. There was a big difference between the faces of human-faced birds and human faces, so there shouldn't be any confusion.
Just when Mo Shouchen was extremely confused, a staff member wearing a bird mask walked in from the exit of the bird area.
As he walked inside, he started to chase away the tourists who were playing in the bird area.
"Dear tourists, due to some circumstances, we have to temporarily close the bird area. Please hurry up and leave. Visitors who have not finished admiring it don't worry. You can come back here in half an hour to continue admiring it."
It seems that Cui Yanan told this staff member what happened to him, so he drove away the tourists in the bird area.
There was no point in staying here any longer. Mo Shouchen let go of the branches, clapped his hands, and then walked out of the bird area as if nothing had happened.
At the exit of the bird area, he did not forget to stamp the corresponding location on the map.
Seeing Mo Shouchen walking out of the bird area, Wang Guoqiang walked over with a worried look on his face and asked, "How are you? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the smoking room now?"
"No need for the moment. The visitor rules say that if you hear unknown people talking in the bird area, you should leave immediately. The person who heard the voice just now was Cui Yanan, not me, and there are so many tourists in the bird area. I should not be violating it.
Code.”
Guo Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved. Did you find anything inside just now?"
Mo Shouchen glanced at Cui Yanan, who was still in shock, shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. She probably heard wrong."
The reason why he didn't tell about seeing Qiao Rui's face in the tree was because he was afraid of irritating Cui Yanan.
And he felt that it was really troublesome to bring Cui Yanan with him, so he said: "What your friend said makes sense. It's really not good for you, a woman, to follow us two grown men. There are a lot of tourists here now, so you should follow
Let them go together."
When Cui Yanan heard that Mo Shouchen wanted to separate, she was a little reluctant, but this time Mo Shouchen's attitude was very firm and did not give her any room for negotiation.
At this point, she had no choice but to agree to separate here.
After separating from Cui Yanan, Mo Shouchen told Wang Guoqiang what happened just now on the road.
After listening, Wang Guoqiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do you think it's possible that the bird flying out of the tree was the woman you saw?"
Mo Shouchen was slightly startled. Although Wang Guoqiang's speculation sounded absurd, there were too many weird things happening in this pet city. It didn't seem impossible if there was one more weird thing about a person turning into a bird.
However, any speculation cannot be regarded as a conclusion without evidence.
And he felt that what he had come into contact with now was just the tip of the iceberg of Pet City. He still had a long way to go to find Tang Yanzhen in this weird place.
The two people continued walking along the path. Not long after walking, there was another fork in the road ahead.
There is a wooden sign in the middle of the fork in the road, which indicates that the office area is on the left and the alpaca area is on the right.
Moreover, under the words "Office Area", there is also a warning in red writing that "Tourists are not allowed to enter."
The dazzling red font on the sign made people feel dangerous, but Mo Shouchen hesitated at this moment.
Now in the entire pet city, the only ones he has never been to are the office area and the alpaca area, and there is also an alternative pet area that does not exist.
Putting these places together, he felt that Tang Yanzhen was most likely to appear in the office area!
