Chapter 56 056. Where did the dog come from?

She pretended to be successful, but Qiao Mu stood on the deserted street, thinking about how to get home.

Huang Shaokun's anomaly, which is regarded as a [mortal], is easy to deal with, just like an ordinary haunted person.

Qiao Mu memorized the address and planned to tell Zhou Mingke at work tomorrow to make a record.

At night, the streets of Jiangcheng City are empty, but many residential buildings still have lights on. The night for migrant workers is not over yet.

A dirty stray dog ​​and Qiao Mu looked at each other across the street. The two were silent for a moment, and Qiao Mu looked away first.

The stray dog ​​followed.

"Call Su Hong and ask him to pick me up?"

Qiao Mu took out her cell phone and called Su Hong without hesitation.

No one heard.

"Maybe he's dead."

Qiao Mu put down his phone and turned around. The stray dog ​​was still sitting not far from him, as if the distance between the two parties had never changed.

He took a photo of the stray dog ​​with his mobile phone, sent it to the "Science Exploration Bot" account, and added text.

【The repair dog on the road in the middle of the night】

In less than five minutes, there were more than a dozen replies to this post. Sure enough, everyone who followed this account couldn't sleep at night.

[Where is this place? It’s not safe to be on the street so late at night. 】

[Let’s go get some materials again. I think I’ve seen this place before. 】

[Where did the dog come from? 】

[He started talking nonsense again, there are no dogs here at all! 】

[I saw it. There is indeed a dog standing on the street. Can't you all see it? 】

[Don’t be ridiculous, this is just an empty street and there are no dogs at all! 】

[You guys look really alike in your acting. I recommend including it in the Beijing Film Academy teaching materials]

[If I hadn’t taken a look at my girlfriend next to me, I would have really believed you! 】

【Who asked you? 】

Qiao Mu read the reply carefully, then raised his head and looked at the stray dog.

The other party sat obediently in place.

Qiao Mu put away her phone and immediately walked forward more than ten meters.

Looking back, he saw that the stray dog ​​was still not far behind him, and the distance didn't seem to have changed at all.

"The dog hit the wall."

Qiao Mu muttered something and called a ride-hailing service on her mobile phone.

Taking a taxi is quite convenient at this point, and some drivers specialize in traveling at night to avoid traffic jams.

After getting in the car, Qiao Mu looked back again.

The stray dog ​​sat pitifully on the street, looking at Qiao Mu.

"Going to the city so late?"

The driver seemed to be an outgoing person, maybe he needed to talk to refresh himself while driving at night. As soon as Qiao Mu got in the car, the other party started chatting.

This is a suburb. Normally, people go back to the suburbs from the city at night, and the reverse is relatively rare.

"Live over there."

Qiao Mu replied and glanced at the rearview mirror.

He found that the stray dog ​​was always behind the car and could not get rid of it no matter how hard he drove.

"I used to live there. At that time, I was still working in the Central Building, and I relied on American food every day to survive."

The driver seemed to be remembering the past.

"what about now?"

Qiao Mu decided to ignore the stray dog. It didn't seem to be hurting him anyway. If he could see it all the time, he would feel quite safe.

"Later, when I turned 35, my company optimized my business to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Now I can only make a living by driving a taxi."

The driver seemed to be a man with a lot of stories.

Happy lives are all similar, and unhappy lives have their own misfortunes.

He sent Qiao Mu to the CBD.

Qiao Mu waved goodbye to the driver. When he looked back, he saw the stray dog ​​still sitting not far away, sticking out his tongue.

Instead of going home, Qiao Mu came directly to the editorial office.

After all, it wasn't long before his next mission started, and he had to be ready.

Turning on the computer, Qiao Mu surfed the Internet again and paid attention to world news.

[UFO sighted in Texas, witnesses said three humanoid creatures walked down from above to buy chicken chops]

[Visiting the site of the nuclear power plant accident thirty years ago, now full of greenery and lush life]

[An unseasonal typhoon hits the Pacific Ocean, and ships going to sea have to call ports to take shelter]

It seems that the whole world is not very peaceful.

As he watched, Qiao Mu suddenly felt that the pictures and words in his sight were distorted. As the countdown ended, three patterns that looked like tarot cards were outlined.

It’s the new Chosen One mission.

Qiao Mu looked at the first card.

The card showed a man hanging upside down. He was tied to a pillar by thorns and seemed to be suffering. The whole card looked strange and horrifying, as if one could smell the smell of blood in it.

Using this man's blood as paint, crazy and indifferent words emerge.

【newborn】

[In most foreign lands, the cry of a newborn is a symbol of hope, except Penglai]

[This place is lifeless and unchangeable. The eternal rules bind everything, and even childbirth has become a luxury.]

[The quaint mansion has not been able to welcome new life for a long time. It is whispering, longing, and praying. Behind every door, eyes cast expectant glances. They are watching and watching, as they have been since ancient times.]

[For outsiders, as long as they witness the moment of birth of life, they can understand the supreme joy]

[Afterwards, you will probably dance along too]

"Penglai?"

Qiao Mu frowned slightly. He had seen things in the [God of Choice Mall] before, and one of the products called [Tai Sui] seemed to come from Penglai. According to Zhou Mingke, these are very different from this world. Different world.

He didn't expect to be reincarnated into another world so soon, and Qiao Mu was a little surprised.

"There is a new life born in the mansion, but it seems that this is not allowed. Is it some kind of palace battle script in an ancient mansion?"

Qiao Mu thought about it, decided to read three before considering, and then looked at the second card.

There is a huge wheel on this card, like a gear, which is stained with rust. If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be blood stains of unknown creatures, seeping out from the gaps.

The card surface gave Qiao Mu a cold and chilling feeling, without any warmth at all, and even the text of the system became as straight as printed.

【resurrection】

[Everyone knows that there is no resurrection after death]

[But there are always people in this world who do not believe in evil, trying to subvert life and death, reverse time, and transcend the rules]

[Especially in a place like the Academy where knowledge is the wealth, everyone wants to explore the boundaries of the known. They step on the unknown, look down upon everything, dominate everything, and try to find the ultimate answer]

[You are fortunate to be able to witness this scene, feel the roar of the withered soul reviving, and listen to the murmur spreading on the silent body]

[Then, say good morning to her, dead person]

"City."

Qiao Mu knew clearly that there seemed to be robots in this different world, even with only one head left to move, and the description of the mission looked like an attempt to resurrect something.

Reminiscent of the previous [Capturing Demons and Imprisoning Ghosts], maybe he can also gain some relevant knowledge in this mission.

It's a pity that Qiao Mu has no interest in resurrection from the dead.

He looked at the last card.

Thank you to [Qianyu Mumu] for the 500-coin reward, thank you to [Zuoqiu Mingyue] for the 400-coin reward, and thank you to [Cola Sprite Bobo Freeze] and [Scapa's Lone Wolf] for the 100-coin reward!
