Hades system

The sky merged into a dark blue halo, and under the sky full of stars was a small town that seemed quiet and peaceful. As soon as Ye Nineteen's bus stopped at the platform of the last stop, the dead people on the bus immediately lined up like They all ran down like burning their buttocks.

"Look at the map, isn't this a town where no one stays? Why do so many people come at night?"

Du Fuling and Bai Ziren also stood up and prepared to get off the car. Du Fuling looked at the bustling scene outside the car window suspiciously while walking, and when passing by Ye Shijiu, the little driver took out a business card from his pocket. Passed to Du Fuling and said,

"You guys have to go back in a while, don't you? Remember to call me, I'll pick someone up first, and I'll pick you up later... Brother Du can also call me next time, just call me~"

"Oh, thank you so much."

He readily took the strange business card, and Du Fuling stuffed it into his pocket without looking at it carefully. Bai Ziren didn't say anything, and after getting out of the car, he waved to Ye Shijiu symbolically and said goodbye.

"Although there are not many people here, there is a very famous night market. You can take a look at it later, but remember not to touch it with your hands... The Hengshui Town government has wanted to convert the large farmland and I sold it idly at a very low price, but for some reason, this place has been idling all the time, so I want to come over to see the situation, and ask the residents here if they would like to help with some manual work..."

"Oh, ok... let's take a look... Anyway, it's still early at nine o'clock... I just need to go back on time... Then let's go to the town government first, I don't know how to get off work now No ah……"

Bai Ziren and Du Fuling walked into the small town while chatting, passing through several rows of crooked buildings, they saw a fairly clean and spacious path appearing in front of them, and following it, what unfolded in front of Du Fuling It is a whole street of vendors and stalls.

Due to the influence of the filter, Du Fuling obviously couldn't distinguish these strange and blurred things hidden under the fake. In addition, this was actually the first time he saw such a big night market, so the expression on his face instantly changed. I'm a little excited.

"It's so lively! Why don't we go shopping? We both had a bowl of noodles for dinner, and we're so hungry now... Hey, what's that..."

Following the flow of people briskly into the market, Du Fuling left the helpless Bai Ziren behind, and walked to a small stall in a few steps. Standing behind him was the King of Hades, who is now well-known in the world of the dead in Y City, and the expression on the stall owner's face became enthusiastic.

"Hey, little brother, do you want to buy a disc? The new product just arrived, the ghost nurse staged the temptation of the corpse, the figure is so bumpy and beautiful..."

With a wretched tone, he picked up a CD on the stall, and the pale-faced peddler in a black coat squatted and pointed to the scantily clad nurse on the cover with horrified eyes and spoke.

"Huh? Are these all ghost movies? It's kind of... scary..."

Obviously didn't understand the meaning of the hawker's words, Du Fuling simply felt that the cover of this ghost movie was very realistic. Seeing his dumbfounded look, Bai Ziren couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and the peddler was still there Enthusiastically and thoughtfully, he continued to sell his discs.

"Plug it into the disc player, the picture quality is guaranteed to be touching. Halfway through, the ghost and beautiful girl crawled out of the TV in such a coquettish manner... Ouch, I really can't hold it... Or you can watch this! A life-threatening wife! The story is about real ghosts and real events that have been changed by real events..."

"...What is he talking about, why the more I listen to it, the more I can't understand..."

Asked in a low voice next to Bai Ziren's ear, Du Fuling only felt that the peddler in front of him always had an unspeakable weirdness, but he still couldn't tell what was wrong. The small stall took a plate of "Spicy Girl Eat Heart", and said flatly to the stall owner,

"Isn't this kind of film not allowed to be sold to minors?"

"Hey! Don't be like this... It's not easy for us to set up a stall... Don't worry about it... My shroud is still made at your house..."

"Oh, forget it... I want to ask you something, how is the government of Hengshui Town..."

"..."

Watching Bai Ziren and the stall owner muttering in silence, Du Fuling frowned more and more confused. He always felt that something was wrong with what he saw tonight.Thinking of this, he couldn't help raising his head. Wherever he looked, he could see various stalls selling barbecue snacks, as well as small stalls of various groceries and daily necessities. Among these stalls, various Dressed people are walking forward indifferently, some are wearing T-shirts, some are wearing cheongsams, some are wearing foreign clothes, and some are even wearing... armor...

armor……?

Du Fuling couldn't react for a moment, she stood up straight and looked at the heroic general standing in front of the iron squid stall with a stick in his mouth, she couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"Grill two more skewers of squid for General Ben! Make it more spicy! Otherwise, I'll cut off your dog's head!"

With a red-tasseled silver helmet and a scarlet cloak, the bearded general held the sword at his waist in his hand, and while shaking his legs angrily, he spat out the stick in his mouth on the ground.The nimble peddler wore a crown with a feather on his head, his bald forehead was matched with a Qing Dynasty costume, but everyone passing by was walking around his street intently, as if there was nothing strange about it.

"Crack! Master Jun! Would you like two more skewers of grilled steamed buns! The servant will roast two more skewers of leeks for you? It's delicious!"

"It's okay, let's have a few skewers! If you want it spicy, you want it spicy!"

"Spicy guaranteed! Come! Your two skewers of squid! Eat first!"

"..."

Du Fuling, who was completely dumbfounded by this scene, turned his head and looked at Bai Ziren in a daze. Seeing that Bai Ziren was still asking the stall owner for directions, he patted Bai Ziren's shoulder with trembling hands, and hesitated in a low voice,

"Bai Ziren...Bai Ziren...look there...there are two strange people..."

"kindness?"

Turning his head when he heard the words, Bai Ziren asked the current address of the Hengshui Town Government and got up straight away. Seeing Du Fuling's pale face, he blinked suspiciously, followed his fingers, and saw what Du Fuling said just now. The scene I saw.

"That's a means of attracting customers, right? For example, Qing palace barbecues or something..."

Unbelievably twitching the corners of his mouth, Du Fuling murmured to himself to find a reason for himself, but his face, which was obviously pale from fright, showed how nervous he was.

Bai Ziren didn't know what to say when he saw this. After all, he also knew how incredible the existence of the dead is to the living.The unknown is the scariest thing, and when some unknowns are exposed to people and break people's usual cognition, the impact it brings can also be imagined.That's why he thought to hide Du Fuling as much as he could, and used a perfunctory attitude to avoid positive explanations again and again.But obviously, as long as he and Du Fuling continue to be friends, his little-known secrets will be discovered by Du Fuling one day.Du Fuling will find out that he can see ghosts, he will find out the reason for his nagging behaviors, he will know that there are ghosts in this world, and he will even guess what happened to his parents back then... …

He had been friends with Du Fuling for three years, and he didn't want to lose this friend, nor did he want to go back to the days when there was no one who understood him.This feeling is the same as when he would rather be misunderstood than when he insisted on pretending to be stupid.

Unpredictable unknown, he is always a little timid and fearful.

In fact, I can tell him, but what if I tell him?Du Fuling may think that a fool, Bai Ziren, is no big deal, but can he really accept such a freak-like self who deals with dead people all day long?

Thinking of this makes me feel a little tired. Bai Ziren is not good at words, so he always chooses to remain silent about things he doesn't want to say.So at this moment, Du Fuling obviously had doubts about what happened tonight, and he was almost unable to deal with it, he just lowered his head in silence, and then slowly walked past Du Fuling.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?"

Seeing that Bai Ziren was gone, Du Fuling quickly followed his footsteps. Du Fuling followed Bai Ziren quickly past the bustling crowd and turned into the village outside the path, but as soon as he approached, he was frightened by the horrible scene Immediately stopped.

The stone steles are arranged in a staggered way, the gloomy tombstones are clasped with white paper flowers, and the graves, large and small, are lined up all over the mountains and plains, and the small building with the Hengshui Town Government signboard is in this area. In the depths of the tomb, a small lamp was shining.

"Come on, let's go in."

Bai Ziren, who was standing in front of the stele, glanced at Du Fuling, stretched out his palm and pulled Du Fuling's cold hand.

"Well, well...these people are...?"

Looking down at the tombstones with different names and dates of death, Du Fuling felt sad and awed at the same time. He had only heard from Bai Ziren that this was a town where almost everyone died, but when he saw one of these residents with his own eyes, Being buried here in a mess made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

"AIDS."

Gently speaking the name that most people in the world feared, Bai Ziren looked at those small dirt bumps, with a few traces of sigh in his voice.Du Fuling fell silent when he heard the words. He had also heard about the blood disaster village in City Y, but he didn't think of this place at first, but at this moment, hearing Bai Ziren say this, he suddenly I don't know what to say.

"Hey, who is talking outside?"

A woman's voice sounded in that small building, and accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening, a middle-aged woman in a coat opened the door with a sleepy expression. The moment she saw Du Fuling and Bai Ziren, the woman was stunned. , then she said doubtfully,

"Who... are you looking for?"

"You want to buy the land here?"

Raising her hand to pour tea for Du Fuling and Bai Ziren, the woman who claimed to be Suru looked at the half-old child in front of her in surprise, and asked in amazement,

"Do you know what happened to this town? No one dares to come here... And you are still studying, right? There are indeed a lot of idle land here, and the town government has been trying to attract business, but because of that reason, there are still a few people here. Years of desolation..."

"I know."

Hearing this, Bo Ziren nodded, looking at Suru who was sitting in front of him, seeing her ruddy complexion, he knew she must be a living person, when he heard her question, he pursed his lips and said,

"I chose this place because there are a lot of vacant land here. It has been a long time since the bloodbath. There is no need for Hengshui Town to stay in the same state as before... I am indeed still studying, but everything is easy to talk about in terms of money. , what I need to determine is how much land can be sold or leased here...I need a large place to build a factory..."

"You can have as much as you want."

Hearing this, she sighed, and as she spoke, Suru took out a document from her desk and put it in Bai Ziren's hands, and smiled slightly,

"I have been the secretary here for five years. For so many years, except for me and a few staff who don't come here often, Hengshui Town is equivalent to a dead town. Because of the incident more than ten years ago, this place raised me The village where I grew up was destroyed like this. There are my relatives, my old mother, and my children here, but because of poverty and ignorance, they contracted diseases for no reason and died miserably. ..."

"Are you from this town?"

Wen Yan asked subconsciously, but Du Fuling had some doubts about what Suru said. He clearly saw many stall owners and tourists passing by outside just now. Are you saying this is a dead town?

Bai Ziren was stunned when he heard Du Fuling open his mouth, as if he didn't expect Du Fuling to ask such a question at all. When he brought Du Fuling here before, he didn't expect that there would be a living person like Suru here. He opened his mouth to prevent Suru from saying what he said next, and the woman in front of him opened his mouth.

"Yes, I am from Hengshui Town...and I am the only one who is still alive and willing to admit that I am from Hengshui Town."

She nodded as she spoke, Suru didn't notice Du Fuling's froze expression for a moment, she smiled wryly as if recalling something, and then said lightly,

"Everyone who disliked this town has left, and those who can't get out of this village are all dead, and I can't bear to be the only one here...so I stayed and watched my own children and mothers die one by one They were abandoned by everyone, because they couldn’t even leave the door because of the infectious disease...In the end, they all became those graves outside the door...Hengshui Town is not big, but there is nothing here...The fields and rice fragrance used to be, Those villagers with simple smiles are gone...all gone...I want my hometown to return to the way it used to be, but no one is willing to accept this village again. People in Hengshui Town were abandoned and hated before they died. Ignored and ostracized...if you will change this dead land...everyone who dies here will thank you..."

After saying this, the room fell into a weird silence, Du Fuling was completely dumbfounded, and Bai Ziren was stiff and didn't know what to say.After a long while, Du Fuling turned his head and glanced at the commotion he could vaguely see outside the window, and the tombs at the door instantly made his back wet with sweat.

"Except for you... there is no one alive here? But... But what about those people outside... Those who set up stalls, and those..."

"People? What people? Isn't that trail over there full of construction waste? There are no stalls at all?"

When Su Ru heard what Du Fuling said, she was also stunned. She didn't understand what the frightened child in front of her was talking about, but before she could continue speaking, Du Fuling stood up from the chair , looked at Bai Ziren with annoyed and fearful eyes, and then quickly ran out of the small building.
