Chapter 19 The Cake Shop on West Street
Author: Wannian Ancestor
Chen Ye quickened his pace, taking four steps at a time.
His steps didn't look very fast, but his figure was like a ghost, and he soon arrived at the entrance of Xining's alley.
Follow the sidewalk under Longhua Avenue, go all the way west, cross a pedestrian street, and cross the road to Xijiang.
In the early morning, there is very little traffic, and only a few nearby residents are walking here.
Chen Ye opened the Eyes of Luck, and the halo of luck for most residents was surrounded by a white mist, symbolizing ordinary numbers.
A few people will have different luck auras circulating around them, either black or bloody... When encountering such a halo, you should generally stay farther away.
He found that most of the aborigines with white, black, and blood luck auras had dull eyes and actions as stiff as puppets.
It seems as if it does not have life.
It's like they are just replicating the behavior of normal people.
However, the characteristics displayed by the old man playing erhu and the old woman selling chestnuts are completely like a living person.
Chen Ye couldn't help but frowned.
Various strange phenomena... made him feel that the setting of this city was not that simple, and it was probably an extremely difficult dungeon.
Therefore, some of the rules I learned during the internal beta may not apply here.
"We need to get more information."
Chen Ye turned on his luck halo and always kept a distance from the black and bloody residents.
Although the gaze will no longer attract ridicule from others, but will instead attract hatred. If you do not take the initiative to provoke death, it will generally not cause too much trouble to yourself. But you still have to be careful and vigilant, if you encounter another chestnut seller
Grandma, that is really unbearable.
Soon after, Chen Ye came to West Street.
The main thoroughfare of this pedestrian street is paved with marble, and the shops on both sides are brightly decorated, all using high-end materials.
Before the bloody countdown, this was the busiest pedestrian street in Linjiang City, with a high flow of people.
Even in the early morning when the flow of people is low, you can still see a few people here and there.
At this moment, Chen Ye saw several figures sneaking along the greenway on the left side of the street, slowly pupating...
He narrowed his eyes slightly and discovered that the halo of luck above these people's heads was filled with darkness.
There was nothingness in the center of the halo, and the whirlpool wrapped in pitch black collapsed and fell, as if it was about to fall into an endless abyss, from which it would never be possible to escape.
Chen Ye observed carefully and found that these people were crawling towards a cake shop a hundred meters away.
The cake shop is located at the corner of the pedestrian street, with stained glass windows on both sides. Pieces of exquisite and delicious cakes are placed next to the display window, which looks very tempting.
However, there seemed to be no employees in the store, only warm lighting and warm decoration.
It seems like no one is watching.
Those figures quietly came to the door of the store, glanced at each other, and immediately pushed the door open and entered.
They were well-trained and had quick hands and feet. They quickly reached for the cake closest to the door of the store. One of them stood guard at the door and opened the door so that his teammates could pass quickly. The other two quickly hugged the cake closest to the door.
As soon as I picked it up, I ran away as fast as possible...
Suddenly, the lights on the top of the cake shop suddenly went out, and the painted glass windows on both sides were suddenly enveloped in a thick black fog!
It was obviously early in the morning, but the inside of the cake shop seemed to suddenly become dark. Looking from the outside, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
The face of the young man standing at the door changed, and his facial features suddenly became distorted, as if he had seen some extremely frightening and crazy scene. His feet gave way and he collapsed to the ground. The next second, he rolled and crawled to the store.
Outside, the corners of his mouth were half-opened, and he let out a strange scream of terror!
However, just as the cry was halfway through, a tentacle composed of black mist suddenly extended from the shop and covered the young man's body.
The strange black lines covered the young man's face, his frightened pupils reflected a look of despair, and his mouth was still trying hard to grow, screaming for help.
But unfortunately, the sound suddenly stopped midway through, and the black mist tentacles had already tightly wrapped his whole body, and he quickly entered the store like a dead dog.
boom!
The door of the cake shop was closed tightly, and there seemed to be a faint sound of chewing coming from the shop.
Click! Click!
After a minute or so...
The glass paintings covering both sides slowly faded away, and the warm light enveloped the cake shop again.
However, the cake shop is no longer empty at this time.
Three young men with stiff faces and empty eyes stood at the door.
It was the three people who tried to steal the cake just now!
However, their clothes were uniformly white shirts and black ties.
The halo above their heads no longer has any color, but is nothingness.
Then, the deep blackness flowing like ink slowly replaced the nothingness. In the center of the deep black, a bloody strange eye suddenly protruded, as if it had gained life, as if some new monster was born inside!
…………
"This cake shop should be a copy of the game..."
Chen Ye observed with the Eye of Luck and found that the cake shop was shrouded in thick blood.
Although there are similar shops on both sides of the pedestrian street, only the cake shop is surrounded by such a rich blood light.
Considering the current situation...
Obviously, the three people who went in and tried to steal the cake were most likely new players.
They probably got to know each other on the forum, met each other offline, and formed a small team, planning to stay together and look for resources to survive.
Seeing that the cake shop was empty, I thought that if I moved quickly enough, I could steal the cake.
However, these stores are actually the most dangerous.
Only powerful Gui can own real estate, that is their domain!
In "The Strange Era", aborigines who own real estate can write rules in their own areas. The more powerful the strange, the more complex the rules written.
As long as the rules are violated in the field, even the weird ones that may have stronger weird values will suffer.
Not to mention these three new players who have nothing.
Chen Ye shook his head, opened the Eye of Luck, always pay attention to the dangers around him, and always keep a certain distance from other black and blood-colored monsters.
Along the way, along the road shrouded in light white mist, I found no danger and did not encounter anything special.
Although he didn't have the ability to draw hatred with his eyes, Chen Ye tried to walk with his head lowered, limiting his field of vision, and trying not to look at things he shouldn't look at.
Sometimes, even if there is no [poverty-stricken look], if there is something nearby that you shouldn't look at, if you accidentally take another look, it will really explode!
Open the bloody phone from time to time and obtain information from the public screen and forum on it.
Unknowingly, Xijiang appeared in front of Chen Ye.
At the entrance of Xijiang Park, two men in security uniforms stood on both sides of the entrance.
Their faces have strange fish scale patterns, golden vertical pupils, and their expressions are solemn and serious.
When Chen Ye walked over, a man with fish scales turned his head and slowly stretched out a finger.
"Pass..."
"One coin!"
