Chapter two hundred and forty-two restaurants in exchange for the body
Regarding the two experts who were investigating the disappearance of the Ligui bus, Lin Mo had previously speculated that after getting on the bus, they would be trapped on that endless road by the 2-6 cage curse, and the other party was not in the bus.
, then it is very likely that you have come to the junk alley.
Now it seems that it is indeed correct.
Both of them are official experts of the Security Bureau, and they chatted smoothly.
Xu Yang talked about his experience.
"I was trapped on the bus for three full days. Those three days were so hopeless." In the room, Xu Yang asked a paper man to make tea.
Lin Mo said thank you.
"I won't mention the dangers I experienced. Later, I found the entrance to the junk alley and learned about the rules. At that time, I thought I could save 1,000 yuan and leave, but in fact it was not that simple at all." Xu Yang sighed.
.
Lin Mo blew the hot air out of the tea cup without drinking it. He put it down naturally and asked at the same time: "Tell me about it."
Xu Yang glanced at Lin Mo's tea, smiled, and continued: "Since you have come in, you should know that there are only three identities for people in the junk alley, hunters, wolves and rabbits."
Lin Mo nodded.
"These three identities have their own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own characteristics. According to the most optimistic scenario, from entering the junk alley to leaving, at least nine targets need to be killed. This also requires that the initial occupation is a hunter. Switching to other occupations requires
There are even more targets to hunt.”
Indeed it is.
The wolf's money-making efficiency is halved, and the rabbit needs to change its identity before it can make money.
When the rabbit changes its identity, money will be deducted.
"I guess you are a rabbit." Xu Yang said at this time.
"Aren't you also a rabbit?" Lin Mo also said.
The two of them laughed and understood each other tacitly.
After all, if a hunter and a wolf encounter each other, they must fight.
"The situation is not that simple. To tell you the truth, I am not a rabbit, I am a hunter. But in my store, you can ignore the rules of professional fighting in the junk alley. Otherwise, people who come to eat will definitely have hunters and wolves at the same time.
Now, why don’t we start a fight then?”
When Xu Yang said this, Lin Mo also nodded.
This is really the case.
Then this leads to another thing.
"You must want to ask, why did I become the owner of this restaurant?" Xu Yang glanced at Lin Mo, who nodded repeatedly. This is indeed the most curious thing for Lin Mo right now.
For example, how did this restaurant come to be served, and why are the rules in the restaurant different, and how did those paper waiters come about?
"If I had to choose again, I would definitely not choose this store." Xu Yang's eyes fell into memories.
More than two months ago, Xu Yang was sent by the General Administration to investigate Ligui Bus.
This car would appear in the contaminated area of Route 66 in Black Duck City. When it appeared, it took away many living people, and these people were never found again.
As for the bodies of these people in the real world, they all died within three days.
This means that all the people taken away by the bus died.
The General Administration had previously sent an expert to investigate, but just two days ago, the expert disappeared.
The body of the missing expert is not dead, but he has been sleeping.
It means that the other party has been trapped in a nightmare world.
Xu Yang's mission is to find the missing expert and then explore the secret of the Ligui Bus.
That night, he successfully found the platform and waited for eight hours before he got the bus.
Xu Yang got in the car.
From this moment on, his fate was completely rewritten.
After all, he didn't know that he was cursed at the time, but in the next three days, he found that he could not wake up, and the bus would always drive on this endless road.
You will only stop when you encounter the platform.
He got out of the car and explored the dark road, almost being swallowed by the nightmare hidden in the darkness.
Fortunately, Xu Yang is not an ordinary person.
Experts from the General Administration all have their own means of survival.
His support is the fierce ghost standing behind him at this moment.
This is his younger brother.
One mother and one sibling.
He died when he was born, and he also has the blood of his younger brother. He has heard his mother talk about this younger brother since he was a child. So after entering the nightmare world for the first time, this longing and the guilt and fear of his younger brother gave birth to this nightmare.
.
But because he was his younger brother, the nightmare did not kill him, but instead became his right-hand man.
After wandering on the road for two days, he luckily found a stop and, after waiting for several hours, got on the bus again.
Later, Xu Yang followed some nightmares and got off the bus at platform 69, and then found the Secondhand Alley.
"I struggled in the junk alley for ten days, and I was terrified every day. I changed my identity, and the most money I had on me reached 500 yuan, but that was just a flash in the pan. In order to survive, I spent all the money.
, and during an almost certain death attack, I escaped into this restaurant. At that time, there was only a corpse with its body eviscerated, or, it would be more appropriate to say it was human skin."
Xu Yang had strong fear in his eyes at this moment.
He must have recalled something terrible.
"That person only had one head left in his skin and all his internal organs were empty, but he was still alive. He was the previous restaurant owner. He told me that he was going to die and asked me if I wanted to inherit this restaurant. The advantage is that he doesn't have to in the future.
I'm worried about being hunted, because the restaurant owner is part of the junk alley and can live for six months unharmed. The price is that he can't leave here, and every once in a while, he will be eaten by the curse here.
If you are eaten up, you will die."
When Lin Mo heard this, he glanced at Xu Yang's body subconsciously.
The opponent's belly is indeed very flat, the kind of abnormal flatness, as if there are a few internal organs missing in the belly.
No wonder Xu Yang has to sit in a wheelchair.
Because he couldn't stand up anymore.
"So, you chose to be the boss!" Lin Mo said.
Xu Yang said: "I had no choice at the time. If I didn't inherit this store, I would die immediately. I couldn't afford any food at the time, so I couldn't stay in the store. Outside, there were wolves chasing me...
…”
Lin Mo could imagine the despair the other party felt at that time.
Indeed, one would die immediately, and the other would live six more months before dying.
As long as you are a normal person, you will basically choose the latter.
It is better to live than to die.
Lin Mo said nothing, mainly because he didn't know what to say now.
Xu Yang's mood recovered a little. Maybe he had already thought about it after experiencing so many things.
"Anyway, I can live for more than three months, which is considered a profit."
Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "I'm not satisfied with what you said. I just arrived today. Although I know the rules of the junk alley, there are still many things I don't understand. Is there any way to remedy your current situation? I can help you.
"
If possible, Lin Mo is still willing to help his colleagues in the General Administration.
In the file, Xu Yang also has a family, a wife and children.
He is indispensable to a family.
Without this pillar of support, the family might fall apart.
"No, after becoming a restaurant owner, there is nothing you can do. In fact, there are many people in similar situations to me, like pawnshop owners, hotel owners... They are all desperate people like me.
Xu Yang smiled: "I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't have agreed to inherit this store at that time. Maybe I could escape by going out and fighting. That way, at least there would be a chance of leaving this hellish place."
At this point, Xu Yang pointed to the tea on the table that Lin Mo hadn't drank a sip of: "You can drink it, I didn't do anything about it, don't say I didn't have the intention, even if I did, the rules of the junk alley don't allow it, no matter what
The owners of any shop here must maintain absolute neutrality and act in accordance with the rules. If we violate them, we will also be punished by the junk alley. And one of the rules is that we are not allowed to attack you."
Lin Mo smiled, then picked up the cup and took a sip.
