Bai Mo walked aimlessly on the streets. The whole city was far different from what he remembered. He even couldn't find the shops that were supposed to be at some addresses.
strangeness……
Just when he was doubtful, a man and a woman in professional attire came up behind him. They were holding briefcases and had confident smiles on their faces. They were in good spirits and looked like successful people.
The woman looked at the tall buildings on both sides and sighed softly: "I have only been on a business trip for a few days, and Dongyang has changed so much."
"Actually, not much has changed."
The man next to her smiled and said, "The Planning Bureau has long planned to adjust the urban structure. Many buildings have been demolished in the past two days, and some buildings have been newly built, so they look a bit strange."
"Is it built so fast?" The woman glanced at the young man in front of her, pretending to be surprised.
"Of course, technology has improved." The man explained, "Many buildings have been almost completed for a long time, but they were only put into use two days ago."
"..."
The two gradually moved away without concealing the content of their conversation, as if they were speaking to someone on purpose.
Bai Mo stood there and listened for a long time, with a look of sudden realization on his face.
It turns out that's the case. No wonder the whole city looks so strange. Society is changing so fast.
He saw a lot of new things along the way.
For example, many people drive energy-saving cars that use new energy sources, and use new biodegradable environmentally friendly bags for shopping. All streets are spotless, and there is almost no garbage.
He had never noticed that people were so pursuing green environmental protection.
Thinking of the desolate cemetery where he was, he naturally supported the concept of environmental protection with both hands.
There was no grass growing there and nothing could grow, so he had to make a flower pot by himself and arrange flowers to cultivate his sentiments.
Bai Mo looked around and thought to himself that he could never stay in the cemetery all day again, otherwise he might be out of touch with society in a few days.
People were coming and going in the commercial street, and everything looked so peaceful.
Bai Mo went to a convenience store to buy a bottle of water, and when he was paying, he suddenly realized a problem.
He doesn't have much money left.
The more troublesome thing is not that, but that he has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still can't remember where to get his salary...
"Hey, whose tomb am I guarding for?"
He walked out of the convenience store looking confused and dejected. He began to worry about how he had lost his cell phone, so that he could not find the contact information of his boss, let alone contact any friends.
Although... he doesn't seem to have many friends to begin with.
"Should we ask the police for help?"
Bai Mo thought for a while and quickly rejected the idea.
First of all, this is not a big deal, on the contrary it is very embarrassing and there is no need to bother the police.
Secondly, there is a corpse missing in the cemetery. This is a serious dereliction of duty on his part. It would be nice if he does not take responsibility. How can he have the nerve to ask for wages?
"Well, it seems that I have to find a part-time job temporarily before recovering the body."
Bai Mo was troubled. As a tombkeeper, he didn't have much time to move around outside, so he couldn't find a part-time job that required a lot of time.
But how can it be so easy to find a part-time job with a small workload and a decent salary?
He took out his brand new mobile phone, searched on major recruitment websites, and read various advertisements on the street. There were many pimps, but he couldn't find a suitable job.
In this way, he turned east and west, and unknowingly turned into an alley.
The alley is very narrow, and it seems that there were many advertisements posted on the two walls, but now they have been torn down and the walls have been repainted.
Bai Mo was a little disappointed and continued walking into the alley. Soon he saw a different street.
Different from the busy commercial street outside the alley, this street looks very deserted. There are no high-rise buildings in sight. The tallest building is only two floors. Every brick and tile is full of ancient meaning, giving people a sense of history.
.
However, it is a pity that most of the houses are quite dilapidated, and even the intact buildings have obvious signs of repair.
But even so, Bai Mo's eyes still lit up. He had not been to Dongyang City many times and had never seen a place like this.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the empty street.
Bai Mo followed the sound and saw a figure walking towards him. He was slightly bloated, wearing a peaked cap, large toad sunglasses covering half of his face, and the other half of his face was covered by a mask.
He thought for a while, walked over and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, brother, I want to ask where this place is?"
The man glanced at him, looking a little angry, and turned to leave.
Bai Mo didn't know why, why was he still angry?
"Brother, wait a minute!"
When the man heard this, his steps immediately accelerated a bit, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to him.
Bai Mo froze on the spot and couldn't help but slander: This guy is dressed up like a criminal, but he is still so cold...
etc.
He was slightly startled, wondering if I had guessed it right?
This guy covered his face so tightly and walked so fast. Maybe he really was a criminal... Could he be running away?
"Stop!" Bai Mo became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He yelled and stopped in front of the man in a few steps.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Before Bai Mo could question him, the other party spoke impatiently, and the voice that came out was actually a female one!
Bai Mo was a little dumbfounded, and then he understood why the other party didn't want to talk to him.
Nonsense, if someone calls him "big sister" one after another, he will definitely not look good on them.
but……
He looked at the woman's figure, and then secretly glanced at her chest, sighing slightly in his heart——
Alas, it’s not entirely my fault.
"Sister...sister, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask where this place is."
"Who do you call eldest sister?" The woman's voice was nice and she didn't sound very old. She might even be a little girl.
It's no wonder that a girl of her age would be so angry when someone calls her "big brother" or "big sister".
In fact, the other party almost couldn't help but want to teach Bai Mo a lesson. In her opinion, this was a provocation, but when she thought of the recent rules set by the Bureau of Prohibition, she could only put aside this idea.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Bai Mo knew he was wrong and apologized repeatedly, "I made a mistake, please don't be angry."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was quite sincere, the woman's anger immediately dissipated a lot.
Although she was mistaken for a man, doesn't this just mean that she disguised herself well?
Thinking of this, she felt a little better and said, "It's clearly written on the street sign. This is Lanbei Street. Come in for a walk if you have nothing to do."
She glanced at Bai Mo's face and thought to herself that this guy was pretty good-looking, but his face wasn't very good and he looked weak at first glance, so she thought about it and reminded her:
"If you really can't help but want to come in and join in the fun, at least wear a mask."
"Why?" Bai Mo was confused.
The woman frowned slightly. Although Lanbei Street is mainly used as a place for explorers to conduct activities and trade, it does not restrict entry to ordinary people. Many of the rules inside are not secrets.
Logically speaking, the entire No. 3 city should know about Lanbei Street...
Most of the people who come to Lanbei Street are explorers with extraordinary abilities. They basically do tightrope work, so they often have very bad tempers and there are frequent frictions between them.
After gaining power, it is difficult for most people to control their mentality. Fights and fights are common, and some petty-minded people even like to seek revenge after the fact.
Although the Bureau of Anti-Prohibition is very strict about the management of extraordinary people, there are always people who like to take advantage of the loopholes of the law, and their methods of revenge can be very clever.
Because of this, if you don't hide your identity properly when operating on Lamb Street, you may encounter trouble after you leave if you have a conflict with someone.
The woman was about to explain, but she thought of another rule of the Bureau of Forbidden Exclusion: "No information about Lanbei Street and the Extraordinary Persons shall be disclosed," and she felt very helpless.
So she said casually: "It's nothing. The main reason is that colds are popular recently. Wearing a mask is good for your health."
"That's it, thank you."
"It's nothing." The woman walked towards the alley, and finally said, "Also, don't block other people's way on Lanbei Street. It's very dangerous."
In her opinion, Bai Mo should be a naive young man who is ignorant of the world. Such people are often the most likely to cause trouble, so she couldn't help but remind him.
After saying that, the woman's figure disappeared into the alley.
Danger?
Bai Mo thought for a while, maybe the other party was afraid that he would be easily infected by a cold if he was too close to others...
He couldn't help feeling that he was such a kind person. Instead of being angry because he was identified as the wrong gender, he reminded him to pay attention to protection.
Sure enough, there are many things in this world that cannot be judged only by their appearance.
