Since the shipyard business hours have passed, even though Lu Jing wanted to take a break on the Xiliu as soon as possible, he could only temporarily dock the ship at the port and wait until tomorrow morning to enter the shipyard.

Now it is important to find a place to rest as soon as possible, otherwise you may have to sleep on the street tonight...

Therefore, after leaving the port, the two of them immediately found the bus stop.

As the largest island in Taining Prefecture, Qihuang Island has a huge population of nearly one million and is also the place where many large factories are located. Its development level is naturally more ordinary. This has gradually been revealed when Lu Jing and his two men landed on the island.

This is a city with a very complete industrialization process to a certain extent. Its internal buildings are no longer the ancient wooden structures commonly seen in Lu Jing before, but are more common to modern buildings on other islands.

For example, private houses are no longer separate houses, but have become residential apartments that are several stories high, and factories are no longer small workshops in the courtyard, but mechanical monsters standing on chimneys.

The developed city state is especially reflected in its more developed and complete transportation system than Huashu Island or Qingchu Island. Even in the middle of the night, Lu Jing still waited for the city's steam trains driving on fixed tracks.

This kind of operation of moving rail trains into the city was already in the 1970s and 1980s in Lu Jing's previous life, not to mention that this era also had its own characteristics.

The nearly 6-meter-long steel body, high-power lighting lamps supplied by gas and the off-white steam scattered in the night rain, the space in the car is also very spacious, because it was late at night, and there were only a few workers who had just finished the evening shift and were dozing off with their heads hanging down.

"The indoor rail steam train that operates 24 hours a day... It's like we are riding on Huashu Island, so we only drive for eight hours a day, right?"

Lu Jing took off his backpack with two knifes stuck left and right and put it at his feet, holding the train distance chart he had just taken at the boarding position in one hand, and holding the Liuli sleeping soundly in his arms in the other hand, and looked at Xu Zhuo next to him with his head tilted.

"The daily routines on Huashu Island are different from those on Qihuang Island. A large number of factories mean the existence of overtime workers. There are also some bars and entertainment venues such as brothels and brothels that open very late, so what will happen?"

Xu Zhuo answered Lu Jing's question, but his eyes fell outside the window were a little confused for a moment. He turned his head to look at the other side, and then asked in a low voice.

Following Xu Zhuo's gaze, Lu Jing soon realized where he was confused. On both sides of the street where the rail train passed, shopping malls several stories high, independent taverns, restaurants or residential buildings that tend to be modern, could be seen everywhere, but the imagined lively scenes did not exist at all.

The streets are deserted and not even like a big city. Occasionally, some people are walking on both sides of the street, and they are all people walking in a hurry with umbrellas.

"The newspaper mentioned the recent serial disappearance cases in Qihuang Island. I guess I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out at night... The wanted criminal on that notice is indeed terrifying."

When the person from the management office put the newspaper on the window, Lu Jing roughly read the report, saying that nearly 50 people have disappeared, and this data has been expanding recently!

It is normal for a city with a population of nearly one million to disappear. After all, there is no so-called identity card in this era, and the household registration system has not been popularized. For example, those gangsters, underground members of the forces, beggars, etc., no one cares if they disappear.

However, this time all the people who disappeared were ordinary people on Qihuang Island, which would inevitably cause large-scale social public opinion, because no one knew how many people were missing in places where no one discovered them or among those groups that were not noticed!

Of course, for the time being, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Jing.

He had already planned where he would go in the next half month. After figuring out what the weird doll at Qihuang Island was, he would leave and go to Mingde Mansion and the Tongtian Taoist Temple in Qianhe Island to look for the statue that Xu Zhuo had mentioned. During this period, it would be best to understand what the letters engraved on the permanent pointer in his hand meant. If time is enough, he would still want to go to that place for another adventure.

Scream ~

"Yuelai Inn is just east of the station in front, and the two people behind are ready to get off!"

The driver reminded him in front of him that when Lu Jing got on the bus, he gave him a note worth 100 copper plate, and asked him to remind him when passing by a good inn in the city.

Getting off the bus at the platform, Xu Zhu took two steps to see the sign standing by the roadside and confirming the location of the inn. Lu Jing's eyes turned to an apricot yellow talisman on the ground beside the platform seat. He naturally couldn't understand the complex spells on it, but the street on one side of the platform and the similar spells outside the window at the shop door made him subconsciously frown.

"What's this? Is it a monster who caught people?"

He whispered, holding an umbrella and heading towards Xu Zhuo.

After walking about a hundred meters, the two of them found the Yuelai Inn recommended by the driver. The store was really bright. Even at this time, the lights were on at the bottom floor and there were people guarding there. The only strange thing was that there were two guards holding guns at the door of this kind of hotel.

"The two rooms must be close to each other. Then prepare a table of wine and food. If you want to cook it now, you should treat it as a tip."

He placed a silver dollar on the counter. The waiter who was still dozing off at the front desk immediately became energetic, his face filled with smiles, and he swung the rag on his shoulder and led the two upstairs.

"Are you so dangerous recently? You are inspecting the port and guarding the door. If I read correctly, I have all the guns?"

Walking into the elevator on the side of the inn and looking at the waiter who was familiar with the joystick, Lu Jing asked on his own initiative.

"Hey~ I'm just about to tell you that it's best not to go out lately, especially not to go out alone, there are monsters outside who are catching people!"

"Ah? We are not those seven or eight-year-old children, what kind of monsters want to catch people..."

He wanted to ask more information, Lu Jing said deliberately.

"This is not a cheating child. There was a missing case near our inn. That night, many people saw a burly man wearing a hood ran across the street like a flying one, and then flew into the sky. Otherwise, why would you think there were two more night guards at the door of the store? There would be people patrolling the night later."

Perhaps it was stimulated by Lu Jing's indifferent tone, the waiter deliberately lowered his voice and looked terrified.
