"I know him and can help him with money."

As the man said, he took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and handed it to the old man in front of him.

Where has the shoe repairer seen so much money? If he hadn't been sitting on the stone steps, he might have fallen to the ground by now.

He touched the banknote in front of him tremblingly, and was about to take it, but thinking of the owner of the watch, he hesitated, and the shoe repairer still didn't take it.

This person said for a while that he wanted to buy a watch, and then said that he knew him, and he didn't let anyone see his face. He really didn't look like a good person.

"I can't do it, I'd better return the watch to that person face to face, don't worry." The cobbler held the shoulder pole in his hand, his heart pounding.

"Oh...that's it, courtesy first and soldiers later, since that's the case, I won't be polite." The man's voice was still lazy, as if he hadn't woken up.

Before the cobbler could realize what happened, a red light flashed in front of his eyes, and he watched the familiar body lose its head, and he was getting farther and farther away from it.

Until there was a bang, it seemed that something fell to the ground, the world was spinning around in front of my eyes, and finally stopped at the door of the sugar shop. The owner of the sugar shop was a middle-aged woman. From this position, I just saw her walk out of the shop and put the sugar into a cloth bag Here, the footsteps hurriedly stepped over his head.

The knife in the man's hand shattered into stardust and melted into the wind. He reached out to take out the watch from the cobbler's arms, turned and left.

There were people coming and going in the night market, and the vendors who were packing up their things and preparing to go home were busy, chatting and joking from time to time, no one seemed to notice what happened on the roadside and the headless corpse that was bleeding all over the floor.

At the same time, Nanjiang Mansion——

Sha Tang rushed into the room panting, and continued until the running almost made him collapse, with a rusty smell in his throat.

Passing the awl in his hand to Cinderella who was waiting in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You take this, wait for the opportunity, and strive to kill with one knife, understand?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and took the awl. She was not idle in the room just now, and she was also looking for something suitable as a weapon, but there was nothing. The only thing that could be taken away was the desk lamp, but it was too big, and it might not have time to play a role. It was snatched away.

Fingertips lightly brushed the tip of the awl, and bright red blood beads popped out immediately. She was very happy and even wanted to give him a hug, but Sha Tang backed away to avoid it.

Seeing this, Cinderella stuck out her tongue, and her tense and sunken cheeks formed a stiff arc because of her smile.

The figure gradually faded away and finally disappeared, leaving Sha Tang alone in the bathroom. He exhaled, found the wallet from his coat pocket, and trotted back to the night market.

But after a while, there were fewer people in the night market, and only a few scattered shops were still packing their things, which seemed very quiet.

Slowly stopping, Sha Tang looked around, but he didn't see the shoe repairer. He slowed down his breathing, and trimmed his messy hair. Not far away, a middle-aged woman was walking with a cloth bag. close.

He stopped him and asked politely, "Hello, I want to ask, have you seen the uncle who repairs the shoes?"

The woman held the cloth bag in her hand vigilantly, and saw the person blocking her clearly through the street light. It must be said that appearance is indeed a major factor affecting the sense of security, and the woman obviously relaxed a little.

"You mean Uncle Ji Xiang, he has already gone home."

Sha Tang clicked his tongue, this person must have absconded with money, he has been a teacher for these years, he has a strong sense of time, and if he said 5 minutes, 5 minutes must not be exceeded.

"I have a pair of shoes that are broken, and I want to ask him to fix them. I need them urgently. Can Auntie give me his address?"

In such an era, most people are still in contact with each other enthusiastically, and visiting each other to borrow food is a daily routine. Looking at the women's names for shoe repairers, they seem to know the address.

The woman looked at Sha Tang carefully, as if to judge the credibility of this man's words. After a while, she stretched out her hand, pointed at the exit of the night market, and circled half a circle, "Go out from here and walk around the night market. , about half an hour’s walk away, quite close.”

half an hour...

Thanking the middle-aged woman with a smile, Sha Tang turned around and went back to the mansion. It's so late now, why bother to go out to seek guilt, tomorrow is not too late, if this person really ran away, it doesn't matter, a watch It's not enough to chase and kill thousands of miles away.

At this moment, all the tourists in the mansion had left, leaving only two reception staff on duty at night, chatting together and talking about everything.

Seeing Sha Tang come in, he didn't care. It's not that they are disrespectful, the main reason is that this person came and went back and forth several times a night, and he was already tired of asking.

Sha Tang walked to the elevator, and the elevator was displayed on the second floor. He pressed the button, and the elevator slowly descended.

When the elevator arrived at the first floor, there was a "bang" sound, which made the two receptionists at the front desk tremble suddenly. This sound is not obvious during the day, but the reception hall of the mansion is very large. At night, the sound of the elevator is heard in the reception hall. It echoes layer by layer, which is very ear-piercing.

Sha Tang was also taken aback by the sudden sound. Anyone who heard such a loud movement at such a time when the needle drop could be heard would inevitably be shocked.

Walking into the elevator, amidst the creaking sound, the elevator reached the second floor.

Under the dim light, Sha Tang lowered his eyes and was recalling what happened tonight. A tiptoe suddenly appeared in the slowly opened door. The black cloth shoes almost instantly brought back those terrible memories of the afternoon. .

With a sudden heart attack, he subconsciously pressed the door close button, and the elevator door that had just opened a crack closed again. The owner of that foot stood on tiptoe vigorously, leaning forward, as if trying to stop the door that was about to close , and seemed to be looking in through the crack of the door.

Sha Tang bit her fingertips, and hesitantly pressed the first floor. There were two people in the reception hall, and they could send her back to her room. It was almost midnight now, and it seemed scary to go to the empty street.

The elevator paused for a moment, and then began to descend. The lights in the elevator flickered a few times, and the elevator reached the first floor with a "bang".

All the lights on the first floor were turned off, leaving only two desk lamps at the front desk, like monkfish in the deep sea, living alone in the tiny light.

The two receptionists were still in their original positions and hadn't moved. They just turned their heads and looked in the direction of the elevator. Their eyes were motionless and their faces were expressionless, like lifeless dolls. This made Sha Tang hesitate.

After thinking for a while, he still walked to the front desk, and the eyes of the two reception staff slowly turned as he approached.

Hearing Sha Tang's request, the two looked at each other, one of them stood up and motioned for him to accompany the guest upstairs, while the other continued to guard the front desk.

Sha Tang followed the receptionist, entered the elevator one after the other, stepped into the elevator, squinted his eyes, took a step back indistinctly, and completely hid himself behind that person.

Soon after reaching the second floor, the elevator door opened, revealing a dark corridor. Nothing strange happened again, and Sha Tang returned to her room without any danger.

Thanking him politely, and sending the receptionist away, Sha Tang let out a sigh of relief, and quickly closed the door.

Just as the door was about to close, a toe wearing a black cloth shoe flashed through the crack of the door.

For some unknown reason, the ghost didn't seem to follow into the room. After running around for a long time, Sha Tang was so tired that he lay on the bed without bothering to take off his clothes, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

After a night of no dreams, it was already noon when I opened my eyes, the sun was spreading leisurely in the room, and the birds were chirping on the telegraph poles, in a trance, as if I was still in that peaceful real world.

I don't know how long I lay there, Sha Tang rubbed her sore eyes, sleeping for too long, my mind was a little dazed.

Thinking about what to do today, Sha Tang didn't delay any longer, washed up quickly, changed clothes, and went out.

During the day, there are a lot of people walking in the hotel elevator, which makes people feel very safe. The reception hall is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. Perhaps it is infected by the overwhelming hustle and bustle, and Shatang is rarely happy.

The joy lasted until he found the cobbler's home and met his family.

"What? Your grandfather has passed away?"

"That's right. Grandpa has been dead for many years. I haven't seen him. How do you know what my grandpa looks like?"

The young man in front of him looked vigilant. Although the person opposite him was well dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, he couldn't relax his nerves.

Sha Tang was also a little confused, obviously he had only seen the shoe repairer yesterday, and the disappearing watch on his wrist could prove that everything happened yesterday, but this young man who claimed to be the grandson of the old man did not look like a fake either.

Could it be that the whole family lied together in order to hide their own appearance?

After hearing what he said, the young man's expression became very ugly, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was going to violently beat someone if he dared to say another word.

The woman next to him spoke first, "I'm his granddaughter. If you don't believe that the old man passed away, we can take you to see the old man's tablet and cemetery. If you really want to covet your expensive watch, why should we?" You have to keep someone at home, that watch is totally worth moving for our family, even if you call the police, we won’t be able to hand over that watch.”

After thinking about it, Sha Tang agreed, and followed the woman into the back room. There are several places in this room, and the second one on the right is the photo of the old man.

In the black and white photo, the old man's hair is gray, his eyes are slack, and his face is wrinkled. He is exactly the same as the person he saw yesterday. The edges of the photo are a little yellowed, and he looks a little old.

"Woooo-"

Sha Tang temporarily bid farewell to Uncle Ji Xiang's family when the vibration of the mobile phone was heard, found a remote location, and took out the mobile phone.

"Lucky survivor, your luck is always unexpected. Congratulations on triggering the side quest - I don't want to die, but this world doesn't want me to live. Task reminder: Six-fingered boy, ask the survivors to come and explore."

Taking in a breath slowly, Sha Tang didn't know how to describe his mood. The Survivor app really didn't give him a moment of peace. Shen Qingmei was just dealt with. It's only been a day, and another six-fingered boy came. It's a bit too much!

Suddenly, a picture flickered in Sha Tang's mind, right next to Uncle Jixiang, an old lady in her early seventies, wearing a floral jacket, with kind eyes and eyebrows, although there are big differences, but he It is almost certain to be the old lady I have seen...

In the psychic car, the one who sat in front of her and said she was too noisy, and sitting next to her was a little boy with six fingers!
