Chapter 351 Renovation

The mansion that the white mayor mentioned was located in an open space near the town.

It was a three-story manor villa with a sloping roof, protruding balconies, and green vines that covered the outer walls of the villa.

When a few people arrived, a blond woman wearing a blue shirt was sitting on the protruding balcony on the second floor.

The blond woman appeared to be in her twenties, her skin was a healthy wheat color exposed to the sun, and her blond hair was tied into a ponytail and draped behind her back.

Her appearance is relatively neutral, with both feminine softness and a bit of masculine coolness, especially her eyes, which are slightly raised upwards, giving people a sharp look that is not easy to mess with.

The blond woman noticed a few people below the balcony, but didn't look at them much. She just glanced at them and then looked away, continuing to watch the sunset in the distance.

The white mayor who was following Sun Xiaoqing saw this and explained:

"Her name is Lisa, and she is the manager of this mansion, but don't worry, she usually won't refuse outsiders to move in. You just need to register after entering."

The white mayor said and introduced himself:

"My name is Vincent, and I am currently the temporary manager of this town. This is Lin Hui, my deputy. Their ancestors are also Chinese. You may have something in common."

Hearing what Vincent said, Sun Xiaoqing looked at Lin Hui aside.

Lin Hui showed a kind smile to Sun Xiaoqing and said:

"If you want to choose a house later, you can come to me."

"..."

Sun Xiaoqing did not answer and followed Vincent into the mansion in front of her.

After entering the mansion, the first thing Sun Xiaoqing saw was the sofa on the side of the stairs of the mansion, as well as the tables, chairs and benches that were moved over, and some other odds and ends.

These things are incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the mansion, as inconsistent as seeing a sweeping robot in a medieval castle. They are obviously things that were moved here later.

Someone was dozing on the sofa at the moment, and there was no one else around except that person.

Vincent came in and woke the dozing man, saying:

"Jeff, don't sleep, come here and register the newcomers."

"Um?"

The blanket on the man on the sofa fell off, revealing a fat man with a beard.

He mumbled and sat up from the sofa and asked, "Is there another new person here?"

"Yes, those who just arrived today are a lady and... a young gentleman."

Vincent said, showing a kind smile to Li Qi who was hiding behind Sun Xiaoqing. Upon seeing this, Li Qi grabbed the corner of Sun Xiaoqing's clothes with both hands and hid behind him.

Li Qi is best at pretending to be a child.

Before his memory was restored in each life, he was still a child. He didn't need to pretend at all. He only needed to display his true nature before his memory was restored.

Sun Xiaoqing protected Li Qi, looking like a mother protecting her child.

The smile on Vincent's face froze a little when he saw this. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and then said to Jeff:

"They don't know the situation here yet. If possible, you or Lisa can explain it to them."

"Vincent, you know, no one will believe what we say if they don't experience it themselves."

Jeff looked helpless.

Vincent said: "Slowly I will believe it, just like you."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Sun Xiaoqing, and then left with his deputy Lin Hui.

After Vincent and Lin Hui left, Jeff stood up from the sofa, stepped forward and closed the door tightly. After confirming that the door was locked, he said to the two of them:

"Okay, madam, let's register your name and origin first, and then I will assign a room to you later.

"Also, let me tell you a few things to note. If you don't want to die here for no reason, you must remember. First of all, once the sun goes down, no matter what happens outside, never step out of the door. !”

Jeff said seriously.

Sun Xiaoqing frowned and looked at Jeff without refuting, waiting for the other person to continue.

But Jeff stayed there for a long time without speaking.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask:

"Then what?"

"...don't you want to ask why?"

Jeff was a little stunned.

During this period, many "newcomers" came, and every time Jeff was responsible for explaining, they would show expressions of doubt and disbelief. Some people even insisted on going against them and left voluntarily at night, and then never came back. .

Jeff originally wanted to wait for Sun Xiaoqing to question before explaining, but who knew that Sun Xiaoqing didn't seem to doubt the truth of Jeff's words at all.

Sun Xiaoqing looked back at Li Qi, and then asked Jeff: "Then why?"

The person who answered Sun Xiaoqing's question was not Jeff, but a cold female voice. The voice came from the stairs opposite the gate of the mansion:

"Because once you leave your house at night, you can never come back."

When Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi heard this, they immediately looked toward the stairs.

I saw the woman in a blue shirt walking down from above. As she walked, she said to the two of them:

"You can choose to believe it or not, but if you care about the child next to you, then you'd better listen to us and never leave the house after the sun goes down."

The manager of this mansion, Lisa, a woman from Lanshan, turned her eyes to Li Qi as she spoke.

When she saw Li Qi, she could clearly see that her expression softened a lot.

Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi looked at each other. Just when Sun Xiaoqing wanted to continue asking questions, she heard Lisa say:

"Okay, I will tell you what will happen next, but before that, I will take you to your room first. Come with me."

Lisa took over Jeff's work and took Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi to the room prepared for them.

There are many rooms in the mansion, and the second floor has almost been converted into bedrooms. Li Qi can see that there are signs hanging on the doors of several rooms, proving that there are people inside.

Lisa led the two to walk on the second floor for a while, and she stopped in front of the second to last room at the end of the second floor, took out the key and opened the door.

The bedroom is very large, and a single bedroom is at least more than 50 square meters, but although the room is large, the things inside are somewhat shabby.

A small double bed, it seems to be made temporarily, there are not many furniture in the room, and there is not even a carpet.

Fortunately, there are two quilts and pillows, so that people don’t have anything to pillow, otherwise this place is really difficult to live in.

Lisa led Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi here and left the room. Before leaving, she told them that if they wanted to have dinner, they should go to the kitchen on the first floor when the bell in the mansion rang at 7 o'clock in the evening.

At that time, all the residents in the mansion would go out to eat.

Sun Xiaoqing nodded and watched Lisa leave. After she walked away, she immediately closed the door and talked to Li Qi:

"It doesn't look like it's polluted here, why are there living people?"

Sun Xiaoqing didn't understand.

Because as far as she knew, any pollution has a certain degree of lethality, the only difference is the degree of lethality.

But now the people she saw seemed to be living people, and they looked no different from ordinary people, not like they were polluted.

"Who knows, maybe it's not pollution, it's something else."

Li Qi said casually, walked to the window and looked outside.

The windows in the room were locked, and the locks on them needed special keys to open, which proved that the owner of the house didn't want people to open the windows.

Recalling what Lisa said, that you can't step out of the door after the sun sets, Li Qi guessed that the abnormality here might be related to the darkness.

When darkness falls, no matter the door or the window, you must never open it, let alone go out at will.

Li Qi looked at the darkness outside for a long time, and finally pulled the curtains, and said to Sun Xiaoqing:

"When dinner comes, you can ask more about the situation here. It seems that this place is different from what we thought. Except that you can't leave, it doesn't seem to be a place where you must die."

Originally, Li Qi thought that people who were contaminated must be close to death.

But from the current situation, the "pollution" that Sun Xiaoqing was infected with was just a group of people gathered in one place.

It is still unknown whether this is pollution.

It may also be some incredible strange object. Everything they have experienced so far is the price they need to pay after using the strange object.

Or it may not be pollution or strange objects, but a new phenomenon that occurs after the dark day appears.

But no matter how you speculate, without evidence, these are just speculations. If you want to know what it is, Sun Xiaoqing needs to continue to find out the news.

Li Qi will not do such things as finding out the news. His body is just a puppet, and it is an electrically driven puppet.

In addition to the battery in his body, he only brought a spare battery out.

In the absence of a battle, Li Qi can use spiritual energy to build a spiritual circuit in the puppet to slow down the consumption of the battery. One battery can be used for a month.

But once a battle occurs, the energy of the battery will be extremely consumed and can only support three hours at most.

So just in case, Li Qi decided to stay in the room on standby. Naturally, the matter of finding out the news will be left to Sun Xiaoqing.

During this period, Li Qi will not go out easily, but he will not let the spiritual consciousness dissipate in this puppet body.

The way Li Qi controls the puppet, in a more understandable way, is equivalent to an immersive experience game, and Li Qi is operating the virtual character in it.

Normally, Li Qi's consciousness is in the puppet. Once Li Qi chooses to "go offline", his consciousness will return to his original body.

As for his original body, it is now practicing and resting according to instinct. With Liu Cheng's care, there will be no accidents.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with such a dangerous situation, Li Qi should return his consciousness to his original body and abandon this puppet body.

But Li Qi has a hunch that once he abandons this puppet body, it may be difficult to return to this body.

From this, it can be inferred that there may be something wrong with this town. It is probably in a space isolated from the world.

And Li Qi has another question.

If Sun Xiaoqing came to this town because she took the road on the right, then how did others come to this town?

Li Qi is very curious about this.
