Shanhai Pet Shop

Ye Yao was knocked so unsteady that he fell to the ground.

His butt wrapped in jeans was directly in close contact with the hard and hot ground separated by a layer of beautiful blue cloth, and his palm even directly hit the tiny stones.

The edge of the stone was not sharp, and it only left a few marks on the palm of the hand, and did not scratch the oily skin.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he immediately realized that a cluster of small flames burst out from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey!"

Then he uttered angrily.

Although Buddhist youths are in power these days, Ye Yao is definitely not a member of the huge population. In any case, in the Jinyuan society, he can still stand out from the tide of the times, clamoring to pursue his dreams, stupid or not. , I still have a bit of blood in my heart, and this group of people may usually have a gentle personality, as long as they are offended a little, they never flinch.

Ye Yao is like this.

He is handsome, and he is definitely a rare flower in the Faculty of Arts. He is fair and beautiful. When passing by the boulevard, the little girl always looks back twice, and he is a frequent visitor on the confession wall. The kind that can swipe the screen at both ends.

It's almost as good-looking as a non-aggressive herbivore, not to mention that Ye Yao has a pair of glasses on his nose, looking like a frail scholar.

But even scholars have tempers.

As soon as he supported him, he immediately got up from the ground, raised his head and wanted to yell at the beautiful man.

"Ok?"

Ye Yao looked around.

"What about people?"

He rounded the corner, still seeing no one.

"what happened?"

Raising his hand to take off the glasses, he wanted to straighten the temples of the glasses and put the bridge of the nose on, but a sudden impact just now knocked his glasses crooked.

Too lazy to take the paper from the bag, he just rubbed his glasses rudely with the hem of his clothes, he squinted his big eyes, and was still searching in private, just to see if the handsome man who was so arrogant just now was there.

Suddenly, Ye Yao opened his eyes wide.

He didn't find the arrogant man, but vaguely saw a small blue sign.

60.

The number is slightly blurred, but it's 60.

He quickly put on his eyes, just to prove his guess.

Sure enough, it was 60.

Was there really a building in front of me just now?

Can't help but mutter in my heart.

How could he remember, just before...

Wait, he has no impression of this street.

As weird as Station Nine and Three-quarters, it doesn't mean that he just found a shop and wandered into the Harry Potter set, right?

Ye Yao shook his head, because of his too rich imagination.

He walked into the small shop from the outside. Like the other shops in the Grand View Garden of Folk Art, it is an antique-style building with polished tiles and doors made of mahogany. The uniform lines are carved out after industrial mass production. , and a wooden plaque that seems to be quite old.

On the plaque, several large characters were written in penetrating calligraphy.

Shanhai Pet Shop.

What are you doing?

Ye Yao felt a little aggrieved, as if he lifted it up in one breath and was confined in his chest cavity, making it extremely uncomfortable to be unable to move up or down.

With such an ancient decoration, what kind of pet shop does he open? He originally thought it was an ancient bookstore or something. Without excessive love--

I frantically diss this store in my heart, but my feet are still not controlled by my mind, and I can't help but step in.

drop--

His Mac flashed silently.

The interior decoration of the store is quite different from that of ordinary pet shops. Although it still looks like a linear structure, there are brown wood counters on the outermost side and antique racks with a series of classical artworks such as tea sets, vases, etc. But behind the counter, it is A very wide curtain successfully divides the space into two parts. In front of the curtain is the business area, while behind the curtain is the area where animals live.

But he didn't hear the pet's voice.

For some reason, he suddenly became nervous. Looking at the curtain, a strange thought came into his mind, as if this thin layer of fabric divided two worlds, yin and yang, where he is now, It is the surface where the sun can shine, and behind the curtain is a strange new field in the shade of the sun.

Ye Yao stretched out his hand and opened the curtain. The LED light tubes emitted cold white light, covering the neatly arranged cages. Some cages were relatively large and made of welded iron railings, while others were made of glass. , sealed on all sides, except for the ventilation holes, it is airtight, and it is hard to imagine how the animals inside live.

The two rows of cages on the left and right are the roads for people to pass through. He stood in the middle and looked around. He saw a rather large wolfhound half the height of a person, a listless cat, a carp swimming leisurely in the water tank, and a carp swimming in the ecological tank. snake……

None of them made a sound, but this is a small animal kingdom.

Different from the antique look outside the curtain, the space where animals live has many colors of modern technology.

But why so quiet?

Ye Yao bent down, put his face on the glass of the ecological box, and stared at the big boa constrictor.

His childhood was similar to that of most boys, and he believed that liking centipedes and snakes was a proof of his coolness, which could make him stand out and be favored by girls. When he grew up, some of his naive thoughts remained and developed into Excessive preference for cold-blooded animals.

He has always believed that snakes are elegant animals, and the patterns on their slippery bodies are also very charming. The Animal World Channel has broadcast a documentary about the world's top ten dangerous snakes. Each of the snakes in it has a proud look unique to predators.

At a certain moment just now, he saw the same look in the eyes of the pet snake in the ecological box.

Is he wrong?

Perhaps it was because he was so fascinated by staring at him that he didn't even hear someone approaching behind him, and the cold questioning was poured into his ears at that time.

"Don't you know that when you enter the store, you are calling for someone?"

Obviously he is the current owner of the store, but he was a little terrified when he heard the voice. When Ye Yao looked up, he saw the beautiful man's face full of sarcasm.

Ye Yao thought of the vengeance just now, a small flame burning on the tip of his heart suddenly lit up, and he insisted: "It's a pet shop, why can't you come in and have a look?"

The handsome man pointed at the wall and said, "Do you see it? No one is allowed to enter."

He had already raised the curtain separating the two worlds, allowing the sunlight from the outside to penetrate into the room. Ye Yao followed his fingers and looked over, the expression on his face couldn't even be described as shock, it was so indescribable.

It is true that there are words that no one is allowed to enter, and it is pasted outside the curtain.

He thought, is this pet shop really serious about business? It's obviously selling pets, but the store's location is only the counter outside and the shelf?

So mysterious, do you think it is a horror pet shop in Chinatown?

The notice at the door made Ye Yao feel more guilty, probably because the man in front of him was too domineering, and he felt guilty for sneaking into the shop. After all, he is quite a moral college graduate.

He looked up at the handsome man, and felt that the disdainful expression on his face was glaring, and when he thought of another contract book folded in his schoolbag, he suddenly gained confidence.

He is not an irrelevant person.

Ye Yao said calmly: "Are you the clerk of this store?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the outdated apron full of cute elements on the other party, thinking that it was a little bit in line with the status of a pet shop clerk, and if he was really employed by this shop, wouldn't it be his own? staff?

He didn't even solve his own food problem, so how could he pay his employees?

The handsome man ignored him, and he said, "You should come out of the restricted area first."

He raised his long legs and walked towards Ye Yao, as if he was about to pull him out.

Ye Yao turned his head to the side, just in time to see the snake in the eco-box spitting at him, and for some reason, he felt a little gloating in the other's black Doudou eyes, which was very human.

The suffocation he felt when he stood in front of the curtain flooded him again like a tide. The black curtain covered the sky, and he could clearly see the summer sun when he looked up, but he felt a bucket of ice water pouring down from his head and covering his face. It was terribly cold.

The feeling of loneliness that cannot be described in words, he was clearly standing in a small shop, but he could feel the loneliness of the wilderness and the darkness of midnight.

Ye Yao thought hotly: "You can't drive me away, I'm not an irrelevant person."

He saw the handsome man raised an eyebrow, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say something sharp and piercing, Ye Yao skillfully took off his schoolbag and took out a well-preserved piece of paper from it.

In the store transfer contract, Party A is his grandfather, and Party B is himself.

Ye Yao said: "According to the law, I am the legal owner of this store, not some unrelated person with unknown background."

"I came in here just to see what animals are in the store. This is my first time here, and from the outside, it really doesn't look like a pet store."

He had collected himself and babbled like an orator in ancient Greece.

When Ye Yao calmed down and was able to speak fluently, few people could not be impressed by his logical rigor and confident tone of speech. When he was in school, he had always been the first debater of the debate team. All kinds of strange things happened today made it a little out of order, but now, he has obviously found his own pace.

The handsome man squinted his eyes, his pupils stood up like a feline, staring at Ye Yao now, and then transferred the realization to the contract. When he raised his eyes, there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

No, this can no longer be described as displeasure, he stared at Ye Yao as if staring at his enemy.

The beautiful man said: "You give up!"

Ye Yao:? ? ?

His next sentence shocked Ye Yao even more.

The handsome man said: "I won't call you master!"

Ye Yao: "..."

Has the play in the pet store become so advanced recently?

somewhere in China.

Hong Kong, 11:33 p.m.

"Ugh-"

The alarm sounded throughout the monitoring room, and everyone looked up at the same time. No matter what they were doing before, they all had the same look of surprise on their faces now.

"what happened?"

A woman in a dark blue uniform hurried in from outside the security door. She glanced over all the people in the monitoring room with overly majestic eyes, and watched them desperately typing on the keyboard in front of their respective posts with dissatisfaction.

The man standing in front of the electronic screen raised his luggage with Ms. Majestic. After the woman nodded, he said, "Venus-[-] is now activated."

Ms. Majestic said, "Where is it?"

The man said: "We are still investigating."

He said: "The fluctuation is really too small. Although we have put the lost Venus [-] on the alert list, this wave may only be enough to remind us that it has been used."

Ms. Majesty didn't listen to his excuses, she just looked up and stared at a series of ever-changing 0s and 1s on the big screen.

They can only be translated into one meaning.

Venus One.
