On the ground, two slender and bifurcated horns extend from the head of the elongated shadow. The joints of the limbs start to bend from the middle, like fractures. Under these limbs that look like they are bent and fractured, there is... something that looks like...

It's a hoof thing.

Chen Yan was shocked and said: "You... are a donkey monster!"

"Sister" spoke again, with an irritable and magnetic male voice that resembled the announcer on the radio: "You are the donkey, I am the deer!"

It's a deer...

A deer with a magnetic male voice like an announcer...

This thing is so strange...

Chen Yan said in shock: "You are also from the zoo?"

Lu Yan saw that he could no longer hide it, so he stopped being secretive and said, "That bitch William Master saw your sister running away and was furious, so he used me as a substitute."

Huh? Is my sister actually replaceable?

Or is it that the deer has certain qualities similar to the sister, so it can be used as a substitute?

Before Chen Yan could think about it, Lu spoke again: "If you can help me escape, I can tell you what William Master did in the zoo."

"If you don't help me, I will tell William Master about the [link] in your sister's brain, and let him know that the [link] in this body's brain can lead directly to your brain."

Chen Yan: "What the hell..."

Lu's magnetic voice was full of confidence: "Awaken, Chen Yan, you must save me."

Chen Yan: "If I don't want to save him, go ahead and tell him."

Lu didn't expect him to answer like this. He was dumbfounded and said in disbelief:

"Do you know what kind of tricks William Mast has? Do you dare to let him know that your sister and your brains are connected? If he knew such a thing, he wouldn't just play with you!"

Chen Yan replied: "I thought about it and it's not impossible to save you, but you have to tell me who you are before entering the zoo."

The deer fell silent.

Chen Yan said again: "Transactions are two-way, aren't they? Now that you know this, if I rescue you and you tell others, I will still be threatened by others."

The deer was silent.

After a moment, it seemed to have thought through the pros and cons and said:

"Even if you rescue me, I won't have the chance to tell 'others'. I died the moment I entered the zoo. Now I'm just looking for a chance to come back to the world..."

Even if I can't stay in this world for too long without a physical body, I still need such an opportunity."

Chen Yan captured the information he needed and asked:

"I know that the invitees to the zoo are basically the dead souls of extraordinary beings, but that is only death on the physical level. The soul has not completely disappeared. How can it be said to be 'dead'?"

The deer replied:

"No, the situation in the zoo is more complicated than you think:

Some things entered alive. These things had a very high level of life, but they were still captured by William Master, and they received special treatment.

Most things enter after the physical body is destroyed. For example, I don't know how I died. I only know that when I regained consciousness, I was already standing in line at the entrance of the zoo.

There are many other special circumstances..."

Chen Yan remembered the scene when he went to work on his first day.

The invitees of the night will lose the memory of their death for about a day, which is why the deer does not know why it died.

"I still have a wife and children. Our house is at No. 791, Birmingham Street South. It is a three-story villa."

The deer gave up.

Chen Yan knew that it must have learned a lot of information about him and her from his sister's head, and determined what kind of person he was, so it dared to do this.

Chen Yan was still wary of the information it gave and said: "Very good, you told me this information. I will visit you no matter what. If what you say is true, I will find a way to take you away."

."

The deer repeated again: "I will tell you the spiritual body talisman array and the summoning spell."

It squatted down and drew a simple and ancient word on the ground. Chen Yan recognized it as ancient Imperial language, which was somewhat similar to modern Imperial language, but much more complicated.

"Draw a spirit talisman array on the ground, stand next to the talisman array, and recite [Mourn the dead, the soul returns], and I will be summoned."

This summoning spell is also in the ancient imperial language. It sounds like some kind of ritual chant, with obvious rhyme and rhythm.

"I will remember it," Chen Yan promised. "After investigation, I will make a decision."

The deer's voice was a little anxious: "Today is a working day, William Master's plan may have already begun, you must hurry up."

Chen Yan affirmed: "I will visit in the morning."

The deer's voice became more relaxed: "I hope so."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the thought of "waking up" arose in his heart.

When the idea of ​​"waking up" reached its peak, Chen Yan opened his eyes on the third floor of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street.

There was already a glimmer of light in the room. He turned to look at the window and saw that the sky had not yet broken, but there was already a looming white fish belly on the skyline.

Dawn is coming.

I took out my watch from under the pillow and saw that it was already half past five. I could no longer hear the baby crying downstairs. I guess he was already fast asleep?

Although Chen Yan had barely slept all night, he was not very sleepy now. Perhaps it was because he had seen so many bizarre things these days and his will had been tempered?

He put on his clothes, went down to the first floor, and came to the door of Room 105. He saw Nuomiguo and Marina sleeping on the bed with the baby between them, while Jack Baldo, still wearing onion armor, was sitting by the wall with his back on his back.

Leaning against the wall, holding a black sword in his arms, a heavy cry came out.

As soon as Chen Yan stepped through the door, he opened his bloodshot eyes and held the black sword in his hand.

After seeing that it was Chen Yan, his vigilant eyes softened, his head tilted to the side, and he snored again.

After confirming that the baby did not need care, Chen Yan went out to buy breakfast.

The breakfasts sold by mobile vendors on Walker Street are getting worse and worse. Nowadays, there is almost no fresh breakfast. The traditional breakfast has almost all been replaced by various boxed lunches.

I don’t know how those lunch boxes are made or what they are made of, but you can buy two large roasted golden chicken drumsticks for 1 penny.

The prices are incredibly cheap, and the purchasing power of 1 penny is very high. In addition to two large chicken drumsticks, 1 penny can also buy cereal porridge with honey, or cheese sauce filled inside.

Bread stuffed with large bacon, or edible succulent plants, or a large piece of sweet and tangy nougat.

——None of these things seem to be freshly made, but stored in plastic boxes and sold in the morning.

Chen Yan really didn't dare to eat this kind of thing.

Aunt Susan's son didn't come out of the stall, so Chen Yan searched all over the gathering area of ​​mobile vendors before finding fresh food——

Some mung bean porridge with a lot of sugar, fried buns, and hot milk that barely looked fresh - these became today's breakfast for him and his tenants.

After returning to the apartment with a large bag of breakfast and reminding Nuomiguo to get up for breakfast, Chen Yan stepped out of the room.

It was almost 6 o'clock in the morning and he needed to go to Birmingham Street first and then go to work.

Stepping out the door and standing on the platform, Chen Yan saw the first ray of dawn.

——

——

The first ray of dawn shone into a corner building in Leprong Lane, Xiacheng District, Yanan City. That corner building was far away from Marina's home on the roof.

In a room on the top floor of this corner building, there is a small telescope set up by the window. If you look out from the telescope, your sight can easily fall on the roof of the corner building full of flower beds, passing through the thin

Through the glass, I could see Marina's entire bed.

At this moment, the bed was empty, not even the bedding, only a bare bed board.

At this moment, there was no observer behind the telescope, and the tripod under the lens was covered with a layer of fresh soot that had just settled from the air this morning.

The observer had to wipe the lens with a calfskin handkerchief every day because the windows had to be open, and the smog in Yanam City was very serious every morning, and the coal ash mixed in the smog was even more harmful to the lens.

The first ray of dawn shines through the half-closed glass window on the desk next to the telescope.

The desk is covered with a layer of glass.

The glass is spotless.

The former observer is now sitting on the desk, with no wrinkles on his white shirt. The single-lens round-rimmed gold glasses on the eye sockets have slender golden chains extending to the ears, hidden among the black and fine hair.

middle.

His mid-length tassel-like hair spreads to his shoulders and neck, his waist and back are straight, and his brows are filled with irrepressible heroic spirit.

The dawn light shone on him, and the chest of his white shirt glowed with five-colored brilliance. Those five bright colors were hazy and mysterious. Now they were mixed together, and it was no longer clear which five colors they were.

His clean and slender fingers were holding a pen, and under the pen, on the yellowed notebook, were lines of small characters written in Tianshenzhou script.

"On March 27, it snowed heavily. Marina's energy and blood were weak, and she was suffering from cold symptoms. The climate in Yannan was cold, and spring had not yet begun at the end of March. It was very cold. She needed to take supplements, and her neighbors gave her charity."

"On April 1st, it was snowing heavily. An unknown gang came to pick fights and cause trouble. Although they had the name of the Rookie Razor Party, they were not members of the Razor Party. Taisheng and Yang Riyue, the sewage helmsman of Xiuyi Hall in Xiacheng District, sent the police to deal with it.
