After becoming enemies with the magical girls, they chased me

Originally, she thought she just liked the floral scent of Ling Mengxue and the soft touch of her body.

But as time went by, this feeling became obviously stronger, especially when she heard that they were going to separate, Ye Yiren felt even more worried and anxious!

"Am I in love with him? Impossible, he already has a girlfriend... Besides, I just treat Brother Feng as my brother, and I don't like boys..."

Ye Yiren thought about it carefully, but she couldn't feel there was anything wrong.

illusion!

It must be an illusion!

After such comfort, I feel much better.

Next to her, Ling Mengxue, who had just ordered a few dishes, turned her head and saw her strange expression. She wondered if this tomboy had gone crazy again and was going to touch her.

Fortunately, I was just overthinking it, and we both ate the meal peacefully...夢様!

Very quiet

Feeling a little awkward, after eating and drinking, Ye Yiren said goodbye and left in a hurry, even using the acceleration skill, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ling Mengxue took a sip of the lily and lotus seed soup and didn't care about it. Instead, she thought it was very normal.

If Ye Yiren insisted on saying goodbye to her like a shy girl, her worldview would be shattered.

Chapter 38 - Soul Lamp

After solving her lunch problem, Ling Mengxue began to follow the navigation to find Ping'an Street.

But what was strange was that on the Baidu map, that area had been marked with a red alert icon, but there was still a green introduction left, and seven blurry words could be vaguely seen.

[Ping An Street welcomes you~]

Ling Mengxue was sure that these things were not written on the map, but she could still see them clearly. These words seemed to appear in her eyes out of thin air and were lingering. Even if she took her eyes off the phone, they would remain for more than ten seconds.

"What is the principle behind this? A curse?"

Although the Ping'an District cannot be blocked, the Internet has proven that the Ping'an District is still open, and it is emphasized that the area is in an area where supernatural events are frequent, and ordinary people are "recommended" not to get close~

However, even though there are official personnel guarding the place, there are always some young people who love adventure and are not afraid of death and rush in. No matter what we do, we cannot stop them. They say that their lives are unbearable and they want to go in to look for treasures.

Hey, just playing~

As a person with poor navigation skills, Ling Mengxue could always get lost even when following the navigation system. Finally, she took a taxi and thought everything would be over. However, when the driver heard that she was going to Ping'an District, he kicked her out of the car...

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Ghosts and such are just bullshit!"

Ling Mengxue thought they would think so, so she hailed a few more taxis, but everything seemed to be the same. As long as they heard words related to these things, they seemed to have lost their minds and drove away without stopping at all. It was ridiculous!

Considering that he still maintained the image of "Ling Feng", he simply found a place where no one was around and changed it back.

Firstly, people are gentle and easy to talk to towards girls, so they shouldn't chase them off the bus. Secondly, they should be able to find out some useful information, so they don't have to run around like a headless fly.

Of course, the most important thing is that maintaining the magical illusion requires continuous consumption of magic, which is extremely tiring. I didn't feel anything at the beginning, but as time goes by, this feeling becomes significantly stronger.

When I got to the intersection, I stopped a car.

Sure enough, this time when the old driver saw that it was a beautiful girl, his original fear was immediately suppressed a lot, and he kindly reminded her.

"Little girl, Ping'an District is a taboo in our place. It's the same in the south and north of the city. No one will joke with their lives and agree to take you there. No matter how much money you have, it's useless. You have to live to spend it. Uncle here still hopes that you can be more open-minded. You should live well at a young age. Why would you want to go to that place in your prime years?"

Hearing this earnest advice, Ling Mengxue felt a little warm in her heart, but also a little speechless, and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Why wasn't anyone so enthusiastic when I was a boy?

Are you still going to make me get off the car with a stern face?

It can’t be that every driver has a different personality, right?

There were more than a dozen cars, but only one stayed to talk to me?

Fuck your dam!

"Uncle, I am the Star-carved Girl, I am not afraid." Ling Mengxue simply used her god-level acting skills, revealing a gentle smile, innocent and naive.

Her face had the clarity and fragrance unique to a young girl, and her friendliness instantly exploded, as if even the heaven and earth had lost their luster!

For a moment, the driver's expression froze and his old face turned red.

When he reacted, he was a little surprised and said, "Girl, are you from Xingke Alliance? To be honest, I am a deliveryman for your alliance. If that's the case, uncle can take you there, but only to the periphery."

"But uncle, aren't you a Didi driver?"

Ling Mengxue was so confused when she saw him suddenly do a 360-degree Sichuan Opera face change.

"Hmm? This is just my part-time job. How about this? I'll give you a discount on the fare. How about that?"

"..."

After getting into the car for no apparent reason, Ling Mengxue didn't know what to say.

After inquiring some more, she found out that recently many young people from all over the country have come to Xingzhou for tourism and exploration, also in order to find those possible secret places.

Even though special departments issued warnings, not many people cared and just ran in to explore on their own.

However, the number of people dying in the secret realm is still increasing day by day. Apart from those who actively enter, there are selected people who are attracted to the secret realm every week, but only a few can walk out intact. Many of them are still in the hospital with broken arms and legs, and some even suffer mental breakdowns...

Ordinary people just think it's lively watching them play, so they want to follow those people in to explore and look for treasures or something... Damn... Isn't this like lighting a light in the toilet, looking for death?

It's just that I have nothing to do after eating!

Finally, when we arrived at the outskirts of Ping'an District, the driver immediately drove away and even forgot to give us a discount!

Ling Mengxue felt her head buzzing, but she didn't think too much and just walked towards her destination.

Looking up, I saw pedestrians scattered on the street, but most of them looked unhappy and seemed worried.

There are a few small shops on the street, with faint dim lights shining through them. It looks very harmonious and quiet, yet with a hint of weirdness.

Looking towards another blockade line, the street was desolate. Occasionally, only two or three pedestrians could be seen walking on the street. They were all looking around in panic, as if a monster would run out and eat them in the next second, and they were in a hurry.

The only thing worth mentioning is that in the area filled with light fog, people are holding a small gauze lantern emitting faint white light in their hands, which looks very strange.

A faint blue flame was dancing in it... To be more precise, it should be a ghost!

If you listen carefully, you can even hear subtle screams coming from them...

Even though they were afraid and terrified, no one chose to throw away the lamp in their hands...

Recalling that she seemed to have seen this kind of light in the shops she passed by just now, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel a little curious. She guessed that the small lantern should serve as a protection.

She fought from a distance and subconsciously used the 'Eye of True Vision'.

[Item name: Soul Lamp]

[Quality: inferior]

[Introduction: Contains a small amount of star source, with mist lingering in the darkness, mysterious laughter, and dark ghost shadows flashing around from time to time...

A soul lamp made from the souls of unknown creatures...

The interaction between illusion and reality, the flame burning the soul can also illuminate the fog ahead——】

"Soul lamp??"

After reading this introduction, Ling Mengxue was slightly stunned.

Ordinary people shouldn’t be able to get this thing, right?

What’s more, there are several shops around that sell it, which is amazing.

However, there are star sources on it. If these ghosts were not killed by the Star Carving skills, they should have been refined by the Star Carving executors.

Xingzhou seems to be the core area of ​​the Meng Alliance, so it’s not surprising to see more Xingke girls...

It's so bland...it should be more exciting later...

Chapter 39 If a fool wants to run in

After standing there and thinking for a moment, Ling Mengxue walked into a small shop.

The store is not big, but it is filled with soul lamps of various sizes. Some of the lamps are emitting dim flames and are burning with a "sizzling" sound.

Standing at the door, you can occasionally hear one or two shrill screams, which seem particularly strange in the silent room.

She was a foreign traveler and was not particularly familiar with the area, so it would be better for her to have more protection.

It is still daytime, but the Ping'an District is filled with fog. It is all white at a glance, and even the sunlight can hardly penetrate, making the sky a little dim and the cold air very strong. Even though it is summer now, it is as cold as late autumn.

The shopkeeper was a kind-looking old woman, who was lying on a rattan chair watching the latest TV series. She couldn't stop smiling no matter what she saw. When she heard the noise, she got up quickly and said angrily, "Hey, you young people, you are so old but you don't study hard. Why do you always imitate others and come to this place? Is this a place for people to come?"

"Grandma, I want to buy a lamp..." Ling Mengxue thought for a moment and smiled awkwardly.

The old woman turned around and saw such a beautiful girl. Her expression was a bit complicated. Thinking that she might die, she couldn't help but feel even more distressed. "Okay, grandma will get it for you! How can a girl like you come to this place? Don't you know what this place is?"

"This is a...tourist attraction..." Ling Mengxue said subconsciously.

"Oh, what season are you still traveling in? This is not a place for young people like you. Remember to leave before dark at six o'clock, and make sure to leave some time in advance! Don't risk your life in pursuit of excitement."

The old woman had a face full of earnest advice as she took out a small gauze lantern from a special container.

After all, it is one of her jobs. Of course, selling lights also gives her commissions.

The salary for a job specially recruited by a special national organization is naturally very high. If the old woman had not been half buried in the ground, she would not have come here to look after the store.

No one would joke about their own life.

Therefore, almost half of the shops on the entire street are run by elderly people and volunteers.

Furthermore, all soul lamps are jointly refined and distributed by the Ninth Bureau and the Xingke Alliance, and then the ghost souls in Ping An Street are used as wicks to burn... hence the name 'Soul Lanterns'.

Ling Mengxue didn't know the inside story, so she was inexplicably moved by the old woman's concern and said, "It's okay, just think of me as someone who likes excitement. Then, grandma, how do you use this thing? Can this lamp really protect people?"

"This is something issued by the state. It can protect people within a ten-meter radius. No matter what time it is, do not go out of the range of the soul lamp. It only has a suppressive effect on low-level supernatural creatures in the outer area, so that they dare not approach."

“Note: When the soul lamp is about to go out, you must find a way to escape... Never be interested in unknown things, and don’t try to uncover the mystery. If you give in to curiosity, you may have to stay there forever, hehehehe~~”

Speaking of the consequences, the old woman simply pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and started muttering to herself, which made Ling Mengxue a little confused.

Is it so professional?

After introducing everything in the information, the old woman smiled kindly and said, "Girl, a lamp costs 100,000 yuan. Do you want to pay by card or cash? Do you still want to go in after listening to grandma's story?"

"??"

The moment she heard the number 100,000, Ling Mengxue almost blurted out "Want to rob the money?" Fortunately, she reacted in time.

Since the "Soul Lamp" belongs to the industry of a special national department, it should be for the sake of those young people who love adventure, and they want to dissuade them from doing so.

After all, there are not many people who can come up with so much money at once. They are either rich second-generations or true fans of supernatural adventures. Ordinary players simply cannot afford it.

Otherwise, if it were put out there, and an ordinary person spent 100,000 yuan to buy a broken lamp, wouldn't that be a serious illness?

Ling Mengxue thought about it, but didn't expose it. She just smiled politely and said, "No need, I can just go in directly."

"??"

The old woman thought she would give up, but she didn't expect this to happen. Seeing that she was really going to leave, she panicked, "Girl, don't go in. What if the grandma only sells it to you for 30,000?"

She had been in this place for some time and was fully aware of the horror of Ping An Street.

That's why she knew that if she let this delicate girl run in, it might attract some horrible supernatural creature from the secret realm, and by then not even a bone would be left, and she would be a sinner.

"No, really!" Ling Mengxue shook her head, feeling a little strange.

Didn’t it just sell for 100,000?

How come there are only 30,000 left in the next second? ?

Who haggles like that? And even at their own expense?!

Seeing that her words had no effect, the old woman gritted her teeth and said, "Girl, what's with five thousand yuan?..."

“Three thousand??…”

"one thousand!!"

"Two hundred dollars, buy one before you go in!!"

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!!"
