Alien Creatures

Chapter 13: Interview Location

Standing on a small mound beside the road, looking at the desolate and deserted village not far away, Hao Ren racked his brains to think about whether his intelligence was hopeless - how could he be so easily fooled to come to this place?

He was surprised that there was such a place around the city where he had lived for more than 20 years, a small village that was so primitive and dilapidated. Although it was indeed quite far away from the city, Hao Ren's impression was that such a small village should only be found in the mountains: the mountains blocked civilization, and the dangerous shoals and steep cliffs blocked traffic, so that human settlements could maintain such a style, but this place was not so remote, and there was even a road leading to the city near the village... So he was quite surprised by the village in front of him.

But he was even more surprised: the strange woman on the phone actually asked him to come here for an interview in the name of an import and export trading company... This was unbearable. You can insult a person's personality, but don't insult his IQ, okay? Although Hao Ren could not tell the difference between a trading company and a street supermarket, at least he should have seen that there might not even be a grocery store in the small village not far away!

Hao Ren stood on the side of the road under the scorching sun, silently looking at the direction where the dilapidated bus just disappeared. He had to wait here for an hour to meet the next car passing by. When he thought of this, he was full of pessimism about life. At this time, he even missed the stubborn and poor vampire at home who didn't pay rent, ate free meals and caused trouble - he missed the cold air around Vivian, although the cold air always had a bloody smell, but at least it was cool! There was not even a sapling in this place for hundreds of meters. The largest shaded area within sight was under the electric pole a hundred meters away. The shaded area was just enough for Hao Ren to cool down his arm... This life was unbearable!

As for the small village not far away that seemed to be only ten minutes away by foot... Hao Ren didn't plan to go there at all. Even if the interview news was true, he didn't plan to go there. Isn't it obvious? Who would come to work here if they were full?

What's more, this looked like a joke at first glance. He was tricked by the mysterious woman on the phone.

Hao Ren was only curious about one thing now: why was he fooled when he answered the phone? Why didn't he feel anything strange when he heard such a magical name as "Wang Ba Tuo Zi"? Why didn't he feel like a fool until he got off the car and saw the village in person? He hadn't thought about these three questions before, but now that he thought about them all at once, he broke out in a cold sweat!

That's right, Hao Ren still remembered that he did think for a long time and hesitated for a long time when he received that strange call, and then decided to come over to see the situation after "careful consideration". At that time, he felt that his mentality was extremely normal. Those few minutes of hesitation and thinking were enough to prove that he decided to come here out of his heart, but now think about it... It's not common sense for him to come here!

Even if it was just the words "turtle" and "import and export trading company" put together, he should have doubted it!

Hao Ren subconsciously touched his head, wanting to confirm whether the few pounds of stuff on his neck still belonged to him.

A few seconds later, Hao Ren raised his legs and walked in the direction he came from: it was not realistic to walk all the way home from here under the scorching sun, but he felt that at least he should stay away from this damn place! Staying away from the address provided by the mysterious woman might increase the safety factor. He can wait for the bus to pass by on the road. Anyway, the broken car has no fixed stop, and it will stop when you wave your hand.

That phone is not normal, the number is not normal, and the mysterious woman is not normal. She used a reason full of loopholes to fool Hao Ren, so Hao Ren knew that his thinking might not be normal in the past period of time. Now he must leave here as soon as possible and return to the other two abnormal creatures at home. Maybe Lily and Vivian will have some way-at least the vampire seems to know spells, and she mentioned things about magic.

But just as he took a few steps, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang like a death sentence.

Hao Ren was startled by the familiar ringtone, which seemed to be at least ten times louder than usual, and it hurt his eardrums. It was as if a trace of faint anger was coming through the ringtone. Hao Ren hurriedly took out his phone, and on the small color screen was the phone number that looked abnormal anywhere: 00000012345.

Hao Ren stared at the number for a long time and decisively took out the battery - fortunately he didn't buy an iPhone, otherwise Apple users would probably have to smash the phone in anger when faced with such a supernatural situation.

But soon he found that he could only smash the phone in anger: the ringing did not stop after removing the battery, just like in every supernatural horror movie, his phone was still not quiet even without the battery, and the strange numbers on the screen continued to urge his death together with the ringing sound - if Hao Ren was just a little suspicious and unsure before, then this time he was 100% sure that he was entangled by abnormal phenomena again!

And what's more terrible is: he couldn't find anything to protect himself, and he didn't even have time to ask Lily or Vivian about the world of "aliens" before he ran out rashly!

When the ringing sound repeated for the third time, Hao Ren finally made up his mind, raised his Nokia high, and smashed it hard on the ground!

"I don't believe you can still scream after it's broken... f**k, this tm works?"

Nokia is really worthy of being the world's number one god machine. Hao Ren watched his old phone pass a shadow and fall to the ground, and then... and then embedded in the concrete floor. Can you believe it? ! And it was still screaming like it was urging him to die!

Hao Ren was sure that he didn't have such a strong hand, so the only explanation for the phenomenon in front of him was: the caller was using this method to warn him not to make futile resistance. Some things are unscientific, unreasonable, and unreasonable. Even if you tie the phone to a strategic missile and shoot it to the other side of the earth, it probably won't work!

Hao Ren bent down tremblingly and picked up the intact phone, and put it to his ear. Although his heart was beating, he was still confident: "Hey! What do you want!?"

"Nonsense, I asked you to come for an interview!" The nice but scary female voice sounded again, but for some reason, Hao Ren felt a little relieved when he heard the other party's voice. Maybe it was because the other party also spoke human language, making people feel that this was a person who could communicate? Or maybe it was because the mysterious woman was still talking about the "interview" until now, which made him feel a little comforted for no reason.

It has come to this point, with all kinds of strange phenomena in front of him. If the other party has malicious intentions, then now is the time to tear each other apart. Since the woman did not use her extraordinary ability to directly send a thunderbolt to save him from a distance, Hao Ren thought he was safe for the time being.

As for why it was thunderbolt and not something else... it was because Hao Ren's imagination stopped there, and he couldn't think of any higher power. In his opinion, the fight between Lily and Vivian last night was like a Hollywood blockbuster.

"Interview..." Hao Ren tried to calm down and pretend that he was not afraid at all. His voice was indeed quite steady. "Let's make it clear. Anyway, I'm here. Do you really plan to make up the import and export trading company you mentioned? Can't you just say it clearly?"

"Oh, we have rules. We can't reveal secrets until the time comes and the conditions are met." The female voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound eerie or scary, nor did it sound threatening at all. It sounded like an ordinary person talking about something, which surprised Hao Ren. "Now if you follow my instructions, you can find the workplace of our unit..."

"Wait a minute!" Hao Ren interrupted the other party loudly. He couldn't follow the other party's rhythm anymore. "Let's make it clear first - what do you want? People who are frank don't speak in secret. Don't use the guise of an interview, okay?"

The woman on the other end of the phone became impatient: "Why are you so nagging? I said an interview is an interview. If you really want to know the rules of the company, you have to come here first! Now listen, do you see the telephone pole in front? Walk under the telephone pole, put your hand on the old Chinese medicine advertisement on the pole, face north... Don't know which way is north? Up is north, down is south, left is west, right is east, look up!"

Hao Ren: "..." He felt that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be crazy.

But when he really looked up, he was stunned.

A huge upside-down building was hovering above his head!
