Chapter 445 Bloodthirsty Beast
Bai Lingshan yawned; she was sleepy and it was time to go to bed.
After making the bed and putting on my eye mask, I quickly fell asleep. I don't know how much time had passed when the little bell outside the door rang again.
Inside the room, beside Bai Lingshan's bed, a half-fallen blanket suddenly floated up out of thin air and returned to her.
Under the effect of the "Concealment" spell, Han Chenfeng scanned everything in the room and then vanished in an instant.
The next day, after Bai Lingshan finished breakfast, she left the inn with Jingying.
Since arriving here, she hasn't stayed indoors all the time. When she has nothing to do, she goes for walks in the streets, which not only relaxes her mind but also helps her discover the hidden symbols that have gone unnoticed.
Black snowflakes drifted in the dim sky, adding an eerie touch compared to the other six-colored snowflakes.
What kind of eeriness is it?
Just like in the human world, when certain days arrive, adults burn paper offerings, and the large amount of paper ash and fragments falling in front of her are like this black snow.
Looking up at the snow, she suddenly frowned, as if she had thought of something strange.
Do you think the snow here might be an expression of longing for someone?
Could the black snow here be the ashes from the paper they burned, left in the ghost realm in another form?
"what?"
When the mirror image appeared, her gaze had already fallen on the pink rabbit that had jumped in front of them, and there were also clumps of pink fur on the ground not far away.
This rabbit may have grown pink fur after death to compensate for the lack of a complete fur color, since this color is not found in the human world.
Hmm, that seems to make some sense.
"It's nothing, let's go."
The snow stopped and started again in Liuhua Plain early in the morning, which meant it was almost noon. Since they needed to eat after going out for a stroll, the two people and the cat returned to the inn by the same route.
The moment she pushed open the door, half a cabbage lying on the table came into Bai Lingshan's view.
She paused for a second before stepping out the door, then looked at the sign and bell hanging in front of the house.
Room number one, yes, it's her room. And look at the yellow bell with tassels, that's right too. But that's not the point. The point is... the wall in the room filled with instant noodles and buckets of water.
At first glance, the bright colors clashed with the elegant and sophisticated style of the place, and she was the only one in the entire inn who could do something like this.
She stood in front of the table, lost in thought.
Could it be that we were chatting too seriously yesterday and Black-faced A-Ci overheard my thoughts, so she secretly put this half of the cabbage away when I wasn't around?
At this moment, Jingying took out a crystal hairpin from her waist, inserted it into the cabbage, waited a few seconds, and then put it back in front of her.
"Don't worry, Master, it's not poisonous."
"..."
She spoke so seriously, but can crystal materials be used to test for drugs?
Bai Lingshan stared at the half-headed cabbage. Despite her many concerns, she couldn't resist the urge to eat it. Even if it was delivered to the wrong person, she could still make up the price difference.
But how can you stir-fry without oil?
She thought about it carefully and decided to put it in the instant noodles and cook it together.
The instant noodles are still the same instant noodles, but adding the cabbage she's been longing for makes her feel different.
Taking the pot, pouring water, and opening the instant noodle bag—all these actions become surprisingly energetic.
Mirror Image, sitting on a small stool, watched from the side: "Master, are you going to tear it apart with your hands?"
This half of a cabbage, because it was cut vertically, has each leaf intact. The thick, juicy flesh makes it impossible to tear neatly. But why make things difficult for yourself? Wouldn't it be better to just use a knife?
A willow leaf mark flashed by her ear, and after the willow leaf hair clip was placed in her hair, her "cleaver" appeared.
After the meal, Bai Lingshan went downstairs to browse the shops.
She even deliberately lingered in front of the dark-faced Ah Ci, hoping he would bring up the matter of cabbage, but he didn't say a word about it.
Then look at Ah Tao, the pale-faced man, sitting at the counter. Ah Tao is flipping through ledgers and fiddling with an abacus.
She understood; she should bring this up when Ah Tao, the pale-faced one, wasn't around.
At that moment, several burly men wearing gray cloaks walked in through the door, each carrying a large sack.
She wanted to avoid them, but the men didn't care about her presence at all. So, under her watchful eye, they had a conversation with the pale-faced Ah Tao and exchanged the things they had prepared.
Actually, this wasn't the first time she'd seen this scene; she was just unlucky, always seeing it at the very end.
The black snow outside was blown into the shop by the wind; it seemed like every time I saw them, the snowflakes were this color.
She leaned closer to the dark-faced Ah Ci and lowered her voice: "What are those people doing?"
Black-faced Aci didn't seem to mind being asked these things, but he covered his mouth with his hand before speaking: "Those people are here to deliver goods. They are our partners, but they don't like being talked about. Let's all keep our voices down, hahaha."
"..." So that's how it is. Watching the group leave, Bai Lingshan lowered her voice even further: "Okay, sure."
The two men, acting suspiciously, happened to make eye contact with the pale-faced Ah Tao, who was carrying a sack and heading towards the warehouse.
Dark-faced Ah Ci burst into a silly grin: "Hehehe, hahaha..."
"?"
At this moment, Bai Lingshan would look silly if she didn't smile, so she also grinned at him.
The two men laughed, which scared him away. He went into the warehouse and didn't make a sound again.
However, they weren't saying anything bad about each other, so why try to ease the awkwardness with laughter?
Dark-faced A-Ci quickly explained, "And...and don't let him hear it."
"..."
Ok.
Black-faced Aci continued, "Those sacks contain the currency and ingredients they brought. They discussed with us last time what we needed, and we only need to provide rare materials at a corresponding price."
"Rare materials?" Bai Lingshan was intrigued by this term. She had been here for some time and hadn't seen any rare treasures. "Is it only Hei Xue who comes here today?"
Black-faced Aci was suddenly surprised by her appearance: "You're quite observant. It's dark and snowy, the perfect time for outsiders to come quietly. Since we live in the Dark Zone, we don't have passes. We can't get out, so resources are naturally scarce. If it weren't for the fact that our Dark Zone has the necessary materials to make superior spirit-guiding powder, we would all starve to death."
Wait, what did she hear?
"Dark Zone?"
Is she already in the Dark Zone?
Black-faced Aci nodded. "That's right. Fortunately, the bloodthirsty beasts in our Dark Zone have this ability. The ghost messengers have to use things like spirit-summoning powder as an aid when they go out to do missions. That's why we have such a stable cooperation now."
She had heard from Ai Xiaomo that the ghost messengers needed spirit-summoning powder, but she had never seen any large demonic beasts here.
What do bloodthirsty beasts look like?
Black-faced Aci pointed to the pink bunnies that had jumped into her eyes outside the door: "Aren't those the ones?"
At this moment, Bai Lingshan was stunned:
Is the pink rabbit a bloodthirsty beast?
