I Wasn’t Born Lucky

The roadside of the small town at night is sparsely populated, and almost no one goes out to set up a night snack stall-at least not on the road that Xiao Li passes by, which makes him quite disappointed.

Only street lamps, night wind and falling leaves, and their shadows accompany them.

Passing a certain intersection where the street light was most shining, Xiao Li looked at the traffic light opposite, thinking about the supper stall downstairs when he used to live with his mother, and staring down at the shadow in front of him, and spent a while. .

The night wind blew into his eyes, and a moonlight fell.

But soon, before the red light on the opposite side turned green, Xiao Li was taken aback, because his shadow moved without any movement himself.

The pure black shadow was originally reflected on his right front, but the shadow's hand stretched out to the left, and the place where its arm stopped happened to hook Xiao Li's hand.

From the intersection of man and shadow, it looked as if the shadow held Xiao Li's hand intimately.

Xiao Li: "..."

Although he didn't feel the real feeling of being held, his shadow suddenly came, making him subconsciously withdraw his arm.

The shadow paused slightly, and it knew that Xiao Li had noticed it, and the figure stretched out directly, turning into the shadow of an adult man, much taller than Xiao Li.

It moved a little bit perseveringly, and directly reached out to embrace Xiao Li's shoulders.

Xiao Li moved a step to the right, leaving the shadow enveloped.

The shadow did not follow Xiao Li any more, it stayed in place, as if a little lost.

Luo Dian had been side by side with Xiao Li. She thought of Han Jin, the only remaining teammate, and waited absently for the traffic lights, so she didn't notice the shadows of the people around her. Seeing that Xiao Li was far away from her, she immediately thought of ghosts: "What happened? ?"

Xiao Li said calmly, "It's okay, the street lights over there are too dazzling."

Rodian: "..."

She didn't know what mentality she was out of, looked up at the street lamp and took a silent step back.

At this moment, the traffic lights changed from red to green.

Xiao Li and Rodian continued to walk forward, his shadow was left in place, but soon, the shadow returned to his feet, but this time it was no longer in the shape of a man, but changed back to the same as Xiao Li. The synchronization look.

He can probably guess who this shadow is, except for Xiao Huang Ben, probably no ghost can be so boring.

The boy rolled his wrists and suddenly broke the silence: "Rodian, what was the other secret you told me when you asked for help?"

Rodian struggled for a while. Should I tell Xiao Li now. According to her idea, she wanted to wait until she was able to complete the task and survived. But looking at Xiao Li's treatment of Li Gui, it seemed that clearing the customs was a simple matter... …

The girl quickly made up her mind: "It's okay to tell you now, I believe you will not do anything to cross the river and demolish the bridge."

Xiao Li waited for her to continue.

Rodian said: "Moriarty, you should also see that I have a lot of props on me. These props are the key to my life. They were brought out by me from a copy of the previous copy. It is a special copy. Only an invitation letter from a pirate can go up. I exchanged it from the market for 10,000 mission points. The person who sold it to me didn't know its value. The name of the island is "Treasure Island"."

"There are ghosts guarding the treasure, but they will ask the islander three questions. As long as you answer each question correctly, you can get a treasure from all the treasures on the island. When I went up, with Wang Huai, That is to say, the second place on the ranking list is now together. Not only did he get three treasures, but he also drilled a loophole in the rules, which tripled the number of treasures that can be taken, and I benefited from it."

Xiao Li: "Wang Huai..."

"Yes, that's the only time I queued up for him. He has always been uncertain." Rodian looked at Xiao Li, and then said, "This is another secret I'm talking about."

Xiao Li nodded sharply, "I see."

"Or I can give you some extra information." Luo Dian saw Xiao Li's potential, and she wanted to take the initiative to build a good relationship with him, so she proactively said.

"what?"

Rodian: "The hottest news among Samsaras at the moment is...The opening of the dungeon world is only regional."

"……area?"

"Yes, you are not curious, why are all the dungeons we queued, the teammates are from the same country? That is because the dungeon is currently closed in the region. If you travel abroad now and are pulled into the dungeon abroad, you It will be the copy of that foreign region that will be queued-this news is revealed by people abroad on the forum. Recently, this phenomenon is increasing, so we are all discussing it. Finally, it will definitely open up global integrated copies. These copies The ghosts here will also be upgraded further."

Xiao Li thought for a while, even a little anticipating: "That's it."

Rodian looked at him a few more times, but she really didn't see the panic on Xiao Li's face. She sighed in her heart: "The big guy is the big guy, not shocked."

The girl continued: "In addition to this news, there are also some newcomers who have been showing up frequently recently. There is a recent forum named Sherlock who mentioned a lot. It is said that his methods are cruel, like the cold winter, to torture ghosts. It’s fun, and it’s a weird thing to do. After encountering it, people will always want to rant. Even the people on the ranking list have been cheated by him. Even I am a little curious."

Xiao Li: "...really."

He wondered if there was another person who had the same name as him-where was he cruel?!Isn't he always very friendly?

Luo Dian is good at communication, and wants to exchange some intelligence information with Xiao Li again, but a surprise call came from a distance—"Captain!"

Luo Dian immediately looked up and saw Han Jin running towards her, and ran forward two steps: "A Jin!"

Compared with the excitement of the two of them, Ye Zeqing stepped steadily over and looked at Xiao Li as a greeting.

The four of them stood together, and Han Jin quickly spoke about everything that happened on their side to Xiao Li, and finally came to his own conclusion: "I think that best friend has concealed it, but I'm not sure if it is. There is a problem."

Ye Zeqing had been letting Han Jin end, but suddenly interrupted at this moment: "There is one more thing. When I was standing at the door and asking her, I wanted to let the kid in and search for her house, but he didn't succeed. Power blocked my little demon in front of her house."

Han Jin turned his head dumbfounded: "Why haven't you told me?!"

Ye Zeqing said indifferently: "What's the use of telling you, you are not Moriarty."

Han Jin: "..."

Ye Zeqing then said to Xiao Li: "Would you like to ask her?"

Xiao Li rejected his proposal: "No, you find a kid downstairs. She will go out tomorrow at the latest and the earliest today. You can see where she is going to know the truth she is hiding."

"Huh?" Ye Zeqing was taken aback for a moment, "Why?"

Xiao Li: "When a person who wants to hide the truth is suddenly revealed by a stranger who is pursuing the incident, her first thing is to check whether the original clue has been completely destroyed. You asked her about Chen Meiyou's leg injury. , Is already a hint, implying that we have her clues, she will be very anxious after making sure you are not downstairs, most likely to rush to destroy the clues overnight."

Ye Zeqing mumbled: "Now...?"

He read a dictum silently, and the little ghost tattoo on his arm dripped from his fingers, following Ye Zeqing's intention, swimming towards Chen Meiyou's girlfriend's house.

"Well, it will follow that person and give me feedback, so shall we wait next?" Ye Zeqing asked.

Xiao Li "En?" said, "Isn't the next thing sleeping?"

Ye Zeqing: "..."

Xiao Li is not in a hurry, but Rodian and the other two do not think so. They have received the fourth ghost call, and the countdown on their arms has become less and less, and there is only a thin line from death, and now it is just a follow-up. When it comes to the truth behind it--maybe not necessarily the truth, but still confused about the lifting of the curse, how can they sleep?

Han Jin said anxiously: "But, Moriarty, we don't have time anymore, don't want to..."

He got stuck in the end when he talked about it, and Han Jin didn't have the direction to pursue it, but it was a matter of life and he was anxious.

"There will be nothing wrong. You can wait for the news from Yan Luo. According to her reaction when you ask, she is not a person who can bear it, and there should be a response soon." Xiao Li said briefly.

Han Jin had no choice but to cast his anxious eyes on Ye Zeqing.

——

They returned to the house where Rodian had rented.

Xiao Li didn't go to bed right away. Although he was indeed a little sleepy, he took out a small yellow book from his arms and wrote again: "Shadow?"

Thinking about it carefully, since the hospital copy Xiao Huangben came to see his emergency room, it seems that the frequency of harassing him has been reduced a lot, but at the same time, Xiao Huangben almost no longer appears in human form-a cat for a while. After a while, there is a shadow again, is this shy?

Xiao Li propped his chin and thought.

Xiao Huangben responded quickly. It did not conceal Xiao Li's problem and quickly revealed: [The shadow is very good, and it is one of the creatures closest to you.

Xiao Li: "...I think you are also very close to me, right in my pocket."

Xiao Huang Ben: [This is different.

[The pockets are separated by a layer. I don't like that feeling. I want to be close to you without hindrance. Even clothes can't be an obstacle between us. We are two as one, like a pair of lovers.

[Shadow has hands, it can hold you, hold you, and kiss you.

Looking at this jargon, Xiao Li suddenly remembered the strangeness of his hair in the academy's dance room. At that time, he thought it was something he had scratched, but now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that it is Xiao Huang's shadow.

He recalled here that Xiao Huangben had already begun to wander in his own fantasy: [Actually, being a cat is also very good. If you can lie in your arms, you will take the initiative to hold me and I can also lick you, but there will always be Inconvenient place.

[Shadow can follow you to the ends of the world, but it can only approach you when you don’t know it, and cannot be as open and upright as a cat.

[I am looking for a way to do both.

Xiao Li asked the question deep in his soul: "...why did you exclude being a person from all options?"

——Xiao Huang Ben, can't you be a person?!
